The Devil

Chapter 12 // Out

Kara paces around her study. She is absolutely nervous. If she could die she would have because her heart is beating fast and she is even sweating! She has never sweated. And now she does, only because she is nervous like hell and Alex is way too slow. She glances at her watch and sees that she has exactly four hours left until she needs to pick up Lena from their room. It's smart that she got a suit out this morning, since she doesn't like dresses. She is more of sweaters and jeans. 

The door suddenly opens and in comes Alex, smiling brightly. She was probably with Winn and Maggie, because she absolutely scared Winn to death since she used her 'commanding' voice. Which is heard all around the globe by demons and gods. And it's quite loud... so she gets why he is scared at the moment. Hopefully it won't stay like that for long, since Winn and being scared of her quite irritates her.

Kara just keeps pacing so Alex walks to Kara's big boss chair and sits. Down. Alex grabs to her ears and directly stands up. Alex' ears are ringing since a kind of defence system of the chair. Kara knows many people are tempted to feel the power of even sitting in that chair, but she doesn't like it. So after the hundredth incident she enchanted it. Making sure nobody but her and her wife get to sit on it.

Kara stops dead in her tracks and says "Alex, why did you do that? You knew about the enchantment. Only Lena and I can sit on it. You might have a ring with my crest on it but it is still on the wrong finger," Alex just groans and nods. "So, what do you have in mind for a perfect date? Dinner? Ice skating? Listening to a thesis? Stargazing?" Alex snaps with her finger and points at Kara. So Kara asks "Stargazing?" 

Alex smiles brightly and nods "Yes, yes. It's unique. And cool. You can talk about all the different constellations and things like that. But first you can have dinner on the roof, I will take care of the food. You only need to wear that suit of yours. Get your lady flowers, Lilacs are the best they are for new love. And since it isn't love yet, but it's something you need to make sure the message is said. Knowing that you probably won't do it."

Kara groans and mumbles "If you would do it."

Alex says dead serious "Yes- yes I would. Look I am the one legally demon married with Maggie. So that's a whole lot better than you with Lena, you didn't even have a ceremony yet. No party, no Tartarean Rum. I want to get drunk again, so let us have that day."

Kara sighs and looks down "I guess you are right. I- I need to be clear. I need to make sure this relationship goes the right way so that we can have a ceremony. I need to make sure that if I am able to fall in love-" 

Alex interrupts her "Kara! Bloody hell! Lena is fucking Temptress! She, Lena bloody Luthor. Is your wife, the one you will fall in love with. There is nobody fucking else that will live on this earth that is more worthy of your love. That woman has been through a lot. And you- you are going to love her. Not because you need to but because right now you already care about her deeply."

Kara slowly nods and she sighs again, her eyes not moving up "You are right. How can I ever be this stupid..." Alex makes her way over and hugs her sister. Kara breaks down, this is the first time in twenty-five years that she cried. That she lost the battle with her herself again. Luckily for her Alex holds her and says nice nothingness. 

They stay there for quite some time. Not because Kara is still crying, because she stopped after five minutes, but because they both need it. No, because Kara just needs that familiar warmth of her sister around her. In her weakest moments everybody hurts, because every demon is connected to her. Even Lena felt it, because Lena and Kara are connected in a way nobody will ever be with their partner. 

That evening when Kara takes Lena upstairs she is happy, Lena liked the Lilacs and that is good. She is the gentlewoman she is and makes sure to offer Lena her seat. Who says a thanks. And they start dinner without talking much. But luckily for both of them Lena speaks up "Kara, what was that awful feeling I felt this afternoon?"

Kara sighs and looks down, she mumbles "My emotions" but when Lena asks for her to speak up she looks at Lena and says "My emotions, I was quite nervous for our date. And sometimes I am not that different from a human, I still have feelings. I cry and I laugh. And the demons and you are connected with me. You feel me, you feel my emotions. You will always have it." Lena slowly nods and lays her hand on Kara's on the table and squeezes it a little.

Kara smiles at her thankfully and with that their date moves forward. They talk more openly about everything. Like favourite colours and Alex. And Lena even talked about the younger years with Lex. Which is something quite big, since Lena didn't talk about that with anybody. But she did with Kara. The only conversation they didn't had was about Kal-El. The guy who calls himself God. The imposter. 

Stargazing is also a success, because now when they lay next to each other, looking at each other and not the night's sky, no the night's sky is long forgotten. Kara asks, not nervous at all for rejection "Can I kiss you?" 

The only thing Lena does is to breath out a 'yes' and with that their lips-
