12. Chapter 12

Alex Danvers has never liked intimacy.

But now intimacy – whether it’s holding hands or being fed or undressing her girlfriend or letting Maggie go down on her – is all that’s ever really on Alex’s mind.

And she can’t talk to Kara about it. Kara who always looks so scandalized by the mere idea of her friends having sex, let alone her sister, Kara who always smiles because she’s happy that Alex is happy, but averts her eyes carefully, whenever she and Maggie so much as kiss in front of her.

And she likes Winn, she does – loves him, even, even though she’d be damned if she ever told him that – but talking to him about… sex? No. No. Nope. Nnhnn.

J’onn’s basically her father, so just… no.

James? James might be a good option, but she doesn’t want to make things weird since he and Kara used to be…

Used to be… Lucy. Of course. Lucy. Obviously. Lucy.

She regrets it almost as soon as she brings it up with her, because now she can’t be tentative: Lucy Lane will not allow it.

“Agent Alexandra Danvers, you will tell me every single detail about fucking that woman right now or so help me, I will get myself reinstated in the army and have you court martialed for crimes against humanity.”
