Flashback to 5 months ago

"Kara!"

The Kryptonian barley heard Alex's warning before her sister slammed into her, arms wrapping around Kara's body. Tears streamed down her face as she gave a somber laugh of relief.

"Alex! Oh Roa! Are you okay?" Kara exclaimed, staring at the large gash that snaked down Alex's chin. A rough patch of fabric sat gently on top

"I'm fine. It's barley a scrap." Alex laughed. "But we did it Kara! We beat Braniac. You did it."

"Guys!" The sisters heard Winn yell through the coms. "We did it!"

"We know, Winn!" Alex yelled laughing even harder as Nia, James, Lena and Mon-El rushed over to Kara and her sister.

"Wow..." Nia whispered, staring down at the glowing, crystal-like cube they had just trapped the rouge AI in.

Mon-El scooped up the cube, examining it and placed it in his belt.

"Thank you all so much." He smiled. "I couldn't have saved both this time and the future without you."

His stormy eyes met with Kara's crystal orbs and she blushed.

"It was great fighting alongside you again, Mon-El."

Back at the D.E.O., Kara was shocked to see a full out celebration. Agents were congratulating each other and shaking hands with the various super and non-super heroes that were gathered around the room.

"How about one final fling at Al's before me and Mon-El leave." Kara heard Winn say to the others.

Mon-El? Leave? That's when it hit her. Mon-El was going to have to leave again. To protect the future.  Even if she still...loved him. Longed for him. Held onto the tiny hope that he still felt for her. That they could be more than friends.

"That sounds great!" Nia agreed.
"Yeah! I'll be there! What about you Kara?" Alex asked.
"Oh, yeah! I'll come! But first, I need to go home and pick up some stuff." The Kryptonian replied, quickly rushing out of the room.
"Kara-Kara! Wait!" Alex called, attempting to grab her sisters hand before she lifted of. She did not succeed. Kara was already gone by the time she closed her hand.
—————————————🪐—————————————
Kara sat alone in her apartment, clutching a fluffy blue pillow to her chest and thinking. Thinking about why the hell her heart was still holding on.
'If I just ignore it, him, it'll be easier to let him go.' She thought. 'But that doesn't change the fact that every time I see him, I want to grab him face and kiss him!'
All she had to do was avoid him until they said goodbye, then it would feel like he was never here. But he was here, now, with her. Helping her fight.
"Ugh."The Kryptonian sighed, throwing her head back onto the sofa.
She barley had time to close her eyes before she felt her phone buzzing in her pocket. Picking it up, she saw Alex's call id on the screen. The blonde took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Hey Alex! What's up?" Kara asked.
"Hey Kara! I was just worried about you. You seemed a little off at the D.E.O" Alex replied. "How's it going?"
"I'm fine, Alex. It's just...seeing Mon-El brings up a lot of buried feelings." Kara admitted, twiddling with the golden Legion ring she had pulled out of her cupboard.
"Hey, I understand. I actually saw Maggie just last week and-"
"What!?" Kara exclaimed, cutting off her sister. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because there was nothing to tell!  I saw her working at NCPD on a transfer case. I just waved. She was a little shocked, but she waved back and then, I left. Nothing happened. I have Kelly after all."
Kara wanted to point out that this wasn't exactly the same, how Alex had someone and she didn't but, Kara just smiled. Her sister deserved so much and she was happy so Kara was happy.
"That's great, Alex."
"I'm glad you're okay. Mon-El was really worried about you."
Kara blushed when Alex mentioned Mon-El's concern for her. No! They were just friends! Friends worry about each other...right?
"Tell him I'm alright." Kara said.
"You're going to have to tell him yourself. He left a minute before I went to go check on you. Don't worry. I'm on my way."
Alex hung up, leaving Kara wondering what to do.
'I guess I could just go get ready for the bar." She thought, speeding into her bedroom closet.
Kara picked out a pair of tight blue jeans and a red knitted top. She brushed out her hair and applied a fresh layer of makeup.
A sharp knock at the door startled her. Kara hurried over to the door and opens it.
"Hi." It was Mon-El. He stands there, worry in his eyes. Kara's hand flew up to her glasses, which she awkwardly adjusted.
