Chapter 110

Alex makes Kara tell the whole story in detail and asks questions about the Cadmus people and other things while she listens. It's something that annoys some people, Alex stopping the story to ask questions, but luckily neither her sister or her fiancée mind. It makes them feel like they're really being listened to. She pays enough attention to the details that she has questions.

Alex wraps her sister up in another hug after she finishes talking. "I'm glad you're okay," she murmurs.

Kara smiles and just melts in her sister's arms. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." Alex tightens the hug before pulling away. "I have to admit though, I'm surprised you didn't bring Lena too."

"I did," Kara says. She points her thumb over her shoulder. "She's right there, talking to J'onn."

"Oh." Alex frowns. "I didn't even see her."

"You're losing your mojo, Danvers." Maggie teases, nudging her fiancée with her shoulder.

"Hey, you didn't notice her either Sawyer." Alex points at Maggie, poking her gently in the stomach. "And who says 'mojo?' "

"The woman you're going to marry, that's who." Maggie sticks her tongue out at Alex, giggling quietly when she tickles her. "The answer to all of your problems can't be tickling, Danvers. That isn't an effective prisoner interrogation."

Alex stops and just holds Maggie close, completely forgetting about the rest of the world. "Well tickling isn't the only things my fingers can do."

Maggie's eyes darken but she doesn't hear Kara's exaggerated gagging noise she makes. Nor does she see Lena coming over, wrapping her arms around Kara from behind.

"Oh yeah Danvers? What else can they do?"

"Break bones and use pressure points to temporarily paralyze people." Alex says with a completely straight face.

"Have they always been this gross with each other or have we lost our immunity to it?" Kara asks Lena, loudly enough to snap Alex and Maggie out of their haze.

Alex gives Kara an amused look. "You guys are cuddling in the middle of the DEO."

Kara sticks out her tongue at her sister. "Like you two haven't done that."

"Yeah, yeah." Alex rolls her eyes, a smile playing on her lips. She opens up her arms. "Now come here, Lena! It's good to see you again."

Lena detaches from her girlfriend and gets pulled into a hug with both Maggie and Alex. She smiles and feels her heart thundering in her chest. It feels like it's growing in size from all the love she's feeling right now, but she knows her heart isn't actually growing. If so, that would be a major cause for concern because that's a serious medical thing.

Lena thinks that maybe this is what it feels like to have sisters. Or rather, siblings that won't go crazy or try to kill her. She hopes, at least. She's had enough familial betrayals for quite a few lifetimes.

Lena pulls back, reaching back her hand. She smiles when Kara's hand finds hers.

Kara grins widely at her sister and future sister-in-law. "So! Lets talk about your wedding!"

"Let's go to a conference room for that. It may take a while and I have a feeling you two have been on your feet for a while," Alex says.

"Since like three in the morning, yeah." Kara nods, bouncing on her toes. "I'm starving."

"I already sent a few guards to talk to Lyra. She'll need their help to carry everything." Alex says.

Kara beams at her sister. "You're awesome! Thanks!"

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go to a conference room so you can sit down before you bounce a hole in the floor." Alex pats Kara's back and urges her foreword. She turns to Lena. "How much caffeine has she had?"

"I have no idea," Lena admits.

"I drank the pot of coffee that was in the break room," Kara says.

Alex sighs and fights the urge to put her face in her hands. "The one that's specifically labeled 'not for Kara' in all capital letters?"

"Yeah! Though I don't know why it's labeled like that, it isn't molecularly differently than what you and Maggie drink."

Now Alex does face palm. "Kara, that one is specifically brewed for DEO agents. You know, the people who sometimes work double twelve-hour shifts?"

"Yeah, that's unhealthy. We should really talk to J'onn about that."

"I know, Kara. Sometimes the world isn't in peril until three minutes before you're going to clock out." Alex sighs, "But that's not the point. Kara, the point is that the coffee you drank has more than triple the caffeine of normal coffee. And you're barely supposed to drink one cup of normal coffee."

Kara pouts as the door to the conference room shuts behind her. "You break something one time..."

"Kara, you broke Mom's favorite vase. It was ugly, but it was antique."

"Just because it's antique doesn't make it any less ugly," Kara grumbles.

"I agree, but that doesn't mean it's okay you broke it."

"I know," Kara groans. "I'm sorry, I was just tired after fighting for like an hour and then flying to the village, then flying back with the wagon, then flying the wagon full of squirming prisoners over here..." She sighs. "I thought it was decaf."

Alex pats Kara's shoulder. "You know now, at least. Now come on! Help us pick out flowers! Mom wants this done yesterday."

Maggie chuckles at how Kara's face lights up at the book of flowers Alex pulls out. She has a feeling that the next Danvers wedding may happen sooner than most would think.

She nudges Lena towards the table the Danvers are sitting at. "What do you think, Lena?"

"Well, what are your favorite flowers?"  Lena asks Maggie.

"Dahlias, and Alex is stereotypical, she likes roses."

"I resent that remark, babe. We're lesbians. What would be more stereotypical is if my favorite are violets."

"Violets are pretty," Maggie admits.

"The bouquet thing should be violets," Alex says.

"The throwy thing?" Kara asks.

"Mm hmm. This wedding is going to be gay as hell." Alex declares, high fiving her fiancée.

Okay, I kind of have the next part planned out? But all I have for the wedding is basically "haha good luck writing the speech and vows"... Ugh, I'm going to have to research weddings. And yes, by the way, throwy thingy bouquet (which has 2 u's? Like what?) is a technical term. And whenever my mom says she feels her heart swelling I'm that asshat that's like "Aww. But Ma, that's a serious medical condition." I find it funny and my mom hasn't complained about my dorkiness yet! Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
