Runaway Girl

Chapter 3- Vegas

"What do you prefer?" Alex asks while she glances Lena over. "A suit or a dress?" Lena feels nervous, not about getting dressed up, but to go into the casino since she's not sure what to expect once they arrive there and she understands that it's one of the highlights of their road trip. "A dress would be nice," she answers, deciding to settle for that. "Kara has a red dress that will do you justice," Alex says, clearly recalling that one of the dresses Kara packed is a red one. "I'm going to wear my azure blue dress," she mumbles while zipping her suitcase open. 

"You look hot in that one," Maggie says approvingly. "I'll wear my black dress." Kara opens her suitcase and hands her red dress to Lena. She has a feeling that Alex is right about how it'll do the girl justice. Personally she settle for a casual black dress. Lena awkwardly slips into the bathroom to get changed while the others simply seem to undress in the hotel room. It's not that she's ashamed of her body, she's merely not used to it and doesn't want to be disrespectful of their privacy. In the span of two days, her life got turned upside down. She went from being in a house with unloving people who made her feel like a prisoner who didn't belong, to being with three women who are incredibly sweet and make her feel free. Two days ago she would have thought she'd be wandering around for a long time and be sleeping outside until she'd be able to find some sort of job somewhere to get her own apartment.

"You look amazing," Kara says with a smile when Lena steps out of the bathroom, wearing her red dress. "It fits you much better than it ever fit me." "Looking sexy, Lena," Maggie compliments the girl, giving her a thumbs up. She'd have used Lena's last name but the girl has been very secretive and silent about that. "Thank you," Lena replies politely. "You all look beautiful," she says earnestly, given the three of them are attractive women, although Kara definitely stands out. 

"Let's go," Alex says as she grabs her car keys. "Do you have you fakes?" she asks Kara and Lena. "I got them," Maggie says, quickly moving to hand them to Kara and Lena. "Those should do the trick, as good as real," she says confidently. "Lena Danvers," Lena read out loud as she looks at the fake ID Maggie made for her. "Yup," Maggie confirms. She had to put a last name on Lena's ID, so she decided to put Danvers, which was the easiest choice. Lena is okay with that and really any last name would be fine as long as it's not Luthor. She follows them to Alex's car and gets onto the backseat with Kara.

"One last touch," Maggie says as Alex starts that car. She turns around, lipstick in hand and gestures for Lena to lean towards her. Lena holds her breath while Maggie tousles her hair a bit and applies lipstick onto her lips. This whole casino thing feels like a big deal, which is slightly unnerving, although Kara will probably remain by her side. "That's better," Maggie says, happy with her own work. "Now you can pass for twenty-one," she continues, nodding as she puts the lipstick away in her purse and grabs another. "Danvers junior, your turn." 

Kara rolls her eyes and leans in to let Maggie do her thing. At least the lipstick isn't cherry red like the one Maggie applied onto Lena's lips. Maggie tousled Kara's hair and applies pink lipstick onto her lips. "Don't ramble when we arrive there," she says, as a tip. It could be a giveaway if Kara would be extra nervous and starts rambling like a school girl.

Kara courteously hold her hand out as she hops out of the car, waiting for Lena to take it. She wouldn't want the girl to trip or stumble with Alex's black high heels that she's wearing. Lena smiles and accepts Kara's hand, graciously getting out of the car and careful as she walks. It's not the first time she's wearing high heels, so that's one thing she doesn't need to worry about tonight. Maggie intertwines her fingers with Alex's, gently pulling her along as they walk towards the entrance of the casino. "I'll be betting some of my money on the table games," she says, having made up her mind. "The slots aren't my thing."
