Every time.

Living in the moment

Kara's pov

"You're gonna have to teach me your cape tricks some other time" I tell Mon-El, we just finished up with training, so I'm about to head to Alex's apartment just to make sure she's okay, I couldn't even get a word out of her before she left last night.

"Okay, where are you going?" Mon-El ask panting softly, as he moves towards me and wraps his arms around my waist.

"I'm just going to check on Alex, she seems kinda down lately, so I just want to know what's going on with her" I state, not noticing how my arms spontaneously wrapped around his neck.

"Mm, well that's very nice of you" Mon-El hums, smiling gingerly, as he sways us side to side.

"Why don't you come with me?" I ask, mimicking his genuine, soft smile.

"I wouldn't wanna intrude on your personal quality time with your sister"

"You wouldn't be intruding Mon. Plus if she is in-fact upset about something we could both cheer her up" I state, smiling even wider as Mon-El begins to ponder, about with I just said. "You could even bring her the leftover lasagna you made earlier, if words won't cheer her up than that certainly will" I add causing to Mon-El chuckle softly.

"Well okay than. Just give me second" Mon-El remarks before speeding off, and returning with a plate of lasagna, and freshly changed clothes. "I brought extra just for you"

"Aww, you shouldn't have" I remark playfully as I lean in to give a quick peck. Inhaling the smell of my honeysuckle shampoo as I pull away. "But I'm really glad you did" I add, causing the both of us to laugh lightheartedly. "I'll be right back" I mumble still smiling as I speed over to my apartment to take a quick shower and change out of my suit. Not two seconds later I was back in the training room. "Now, come on, we've got some cheering up to do" I declare as I lead him out of the room.

"Hey guys!" Alex remarks enthusiastically, as she opens her front door. The dark lines under her eyes are ever so noticeable in this current lighting.

"Hey!" Mon-El and I remark siamotainously, before making our way into her apartment.

"How are you guys?"Alex ask, after giving the both of us brief hugs, and directing us over to her dining room table. I'm sitting horizontally sitting next to Alex, while Mon-El is sitting across from us.

"We're great, how are you?" I ask, hoping that she'll open up.

"I'm good" Alex remarks. She might not crinkle like I do, but she's obviously not feeling that great. Not knowing what to say next I direct my gaze towards Mon-El, silently asking him to say something.

"How's-how's Maggie?" Mon-El ask, causing Alex to face him.

Why didn't I think of that?

"She's fine" Alex remarks plainly as if she doesn't want to say anything else. Which is weird because when it comes to Maggie, she's never short of words.

"Um why don't I grab us some drinks" I quietly suggest after a brief moment of silence.

"Thanks" Alex and Mon-El mumble quietly as I head over to where Alex keeps her colorful assortment of alcohol.

"Hey, what's this?" I ask from the kitchen. My eyes are seat on two wedding bands set on the counter. When I look up from the rings my eyes land directly on Alex's already teary-eyed ones.

"Alex...what happened between you and Maggie?" I ask as I make my way back over to the dining room table, leaving the whiskey behind —something tells me she's had plenty of that stuff to drink over the last couple of days—.
