Supercorp shots (All for you guys to survive Season 5 of Supergirl)

"All or Nothing"

Alex had a swig of her beer. She placed it loudly on the counter. It didn't disrupt the causal chatter of aliens gathering at the pool table. Brainy observed with the utmost concentration on his face.

"I do not understand, your love of beer." Brainy spoke after making a final observation. He put his hands together in a pondering motion. Alex stared lovingly at the two beers she had in front of her. One not open and the other, she previously had a swig from.

"There's nothing to really understand." Alex chuckled. "I just enjoy drinking. Here have one." She pushes the unopened beer bottle towards Brainy.

"I don't think I can get drunk, which means I would not achieve the benefits of drinking." Brainy refuses. Alex rolls her eyes.

"Just try it. This is your first time at a bar, just give it a go."

"Very well, I will try it." Brainy reaches for the bottle, "Although I don't know why you want me to try beer of all forms of alcohol you could have chosen." He pops the top off with ease and takes a sip. He stays as still as a statue for a little while.

"Hmm, interesting." Brainy breaks the silence. "I see this is why you like beer." Alex isn't paying attention to him at the moment. Her mind is elsewhere. The TV above the counter had the news on.

"Eve Tessmacher was apprehended at L-Corp, where she was found threatening to kill CEO Lena Luthor." Footage of Eve being cuffed and shoved into a police car was being shown.

"I'm quite interested to know how Tessmacher found her way into L-Corp." Brainy commented. It was a poor attempt to lighten the heavy mood that fell upon them. Alex shook her head as she reached for the beer in front of her.

"I'm not surprised," Alex sipped at her beer, "Lena obviously put Eve up to this. Having someone take the blow for your mistakes is pretty low."

"Yes." Brainy looked at his beer in thought. "What are we to do about it?"

"I don't think there is anything we can do, Brainy," Alex played with her hands, "She won't talk to me, she knows I set Claymore on her, and she's angry at all of us for lying to her."

"Why don't we try mending the bond we tore?" Brainy thought out loud, "Perhaps one of those trust exercises that summer-activity camps do." Alex shook her head. She placed the bottle to her lips and took a long time to swallow.

"Kara's trying so hard, and she's not getting through to her Brainy." Alex groaned. "Maybe it's time to assume the worst. This isn't the Lena we know."

"We can't assume the worst." Brainy shuffles in his seat uncomfortably. "I once went down the wrong path as well, but I got a chance to become something better. I don't think it's time, no I think it is morally wrong, to as you say it, rub salt on the wound?"

"We can't let her make another drastic move like this." Alex looked down at her hands.

"..."

"It drives me nuts that Kara is literally obsessed with her."

Brainy turned his head to face her, "Obsessed?"

"Yes, she's not thinking clearly, like when she first "told" Lena that she was Supergirl, she went to Dublin, Milan, and Paris for lunch. LUNCH. Brainy, LUNCH, she went above and beyond."

"Uh-" Alex cut off Brainy before he could respond.

"She even considered breaking into a security facility for Lex's journals for Lena, FOR LENA."

"If you are saying she is over the top, the possibility of Kara snagging the journals would be a ninety five percent chance, she went through with it."
