Broken Hearts (SuperCorp)

Coffee and Doughnuts

"Do I want to know why you are late for sister night?" Alex didn't even look up from where she scrolls through the available TV shows on my television.

I quickly change into my pajamas. I grab plates an unload the bag of food. Alex opens a beer for me. She cues up Parks and Rec and hits play.

"I was with Lena," I say with a slight blush.

"You've been spending a lot of time with her lately." Alex raises an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, but I didn't ask you to come so we can talk about my relationship. I want to talk about you." I turn my body so I can face her. My right shoulder leans against the couch. Alex mimics my body language to face me.

"What about me?" She asks.

"Well for starters, when exactly is the wedding?"

"We decided on Valentines Day. Maggie never had much reason to like the holiday or celebrate it. But now it will be a real celebration every year." Alex looks at her plate and pushes the food around. Feelings still make her feel uncomfortable.

"In that case, we have to start planning."

"Kara we want it to be small. Mostly just family and a few friends."

"Just because it's small doesn't mean it can't be wonderful!" I say. Alex rolls her eyes.

"Okay, first the bridal shower. I was thinking a joint one because well, two brides." Alex laughs at that and we spend the next half hour talking about the party. Turns out that Alex and Maggie have been binge watching Friends together so we decided on a Central Perk-themed shower.

We talked food ideas and games. I was so excited by the end of our conversation. Alex promised to get me a guest list from Maggie, then we continued watching the show and finishing the Chinese food. We fell asleep on the couch together.

It felt good to have one on one time with Alex. So much had changed for the both of us. It was nice to know we would always have each other. I think I had lost so much of myself in Mon-El that I forgot how much I missed Alex. And it didn't help that she had to share her time with Maggie too.

The morning sun streamed in on my face and I wake up. My neck was a little stiff from the awkward angle on the couch. I sat up and stretched. Alex was still asleep, stretched out with her head on the opposite armrest. I stood and went to start a pot of coffee.

The smell of the brewing grounds stirred Alex and she began to wipe the sleep from her eyes. I was pouring a mug for the both of us when a soft knock came at the door. Alex sat up on the couch and I moved toward the door.

"Lena!" I exclaim as I open the door. My hungry eyes try to take in all of her all at once. Her soft smile tinted slightly pink. A blush on her cheeks that makes her look like a doll with her well-defined features. Her raven hair is pulled back into a smooth ponytail. Her eyes are bright and bore into mine. She looks straight at me so I know she is wearing heels without even looking down. Lena lifts a pink box, which causes me to look down then.

"I brought doughnuts on my way to work." She says. She lifts the lid and the smell of fried goodness fills my nose, its mingled with the sweet smells of icing and jelly. I grin up at her and lift the box from her hands.

"We both know this is not 'on your way' to work," I say a little teasingly.

"Fine then. Guess I'll just take them with me to work." Lena moves to liberate the box from my hands but I turn my back to protect it. She wraps her arms around me instead and kisses my cheek. I laugh and set the box on the counter.

I turn and put my own arms around her neck. I kiss her on the lips. It was an innocent sort of kiss. There was no heat to it but just a kiss that expressed my complete happiness in her presence.

"Eww... Gross. Can't a girl eat a doughnut in peace?" Alex's voice behind me pulls us apart. We look at her. She is sitting at the counter, already halfway through a Boston Cream and taking a sip of her coffee. Lena just laughs and moves to the other side of the counter to get another mug from the cupboard.

"Also, I'll ignore how familiar you are with my sister's apartment," Alex says, making a big sister face that showed how little she wanted to think of her little sister getting laid.

I ignore her and sit at the other end of the counter. I pick out a cruller that I know Lena got just for me. I sip my own coffee and Lena pours herself a mug. She stands opposite us while she stirs in a little cream.

"How was sister night?" Lena asks. She pointedly looks at Alex to get a response from her instead of from me. After a pause, Alex looks up and realizes that the question was directed at her.

"Well, after Kara showed up late," Alex raises an eyebrow at Lena, who blushes and I feel the heat rise to my own cheeks, " we had a great time. We talked wedding plans and binge-watched Parks and Rec."

"Wedding plans?" She asks.

"Shoot Lena. I guess I never told you. Since we weren't umm... actually talking at the time. Alex asked Maggie to marry her." A shadow passes over Lena's face at the mention of the dark time in our not so distant past. But then she grins and turns back to Alex.

"That's great! I'm glad you and Detective Sawyer are doing so well."

"Thank you. We've been through a lot. But we got through it together. So we want to go through the rest of life together." Alex looks down at her coffee, still uncomfortable with sharing. I feel Lena's hand brush mine and I release the mug I was gripping with both and grasp hers. She releases it just as quickly.

"I have to head to work. Congrats Alex. Kara, call me later?" I nod. She moves around the counter, kisses my cheek and then heads to the door.

I watch her leave. I take in the rest of her that I didn't at the door. She was wearing her high neck, black tank top. It hugged her in just the right way. Black leather pants hugged her hips all the way down to her ankles were she wore heels that caused her calves to stand out defined against the pant legs. Then the door shut and she was gone. Alex clears her throat.

"Boy, you got it bad." She says, almost to her coffee instead of me. I roll my eyes.

"Got what bad?" I ask with a bit of sass.

"Realization that females are beautiful and wonderful creatures, even when they are leaving you." Alex has a faint smile on her lips that shows me she is thinking of Maggie.

"Just for the one. Now, don't you have to get to work?" I ask. Alex just laughs and continues to sip the steaming mug. I dump Lena's nearly full mug down the sink, slightly curious at her abrupt departure, then head to my room to get dressed for another day of reporting.

Authors Note:
Sorry this took so long guys. But work has been crazy, plus half my time is spent helping my sister with my niece. Add a little writers block and updating every couple of days turns in to every couple weeks.

Anyways this was more transition then anything else. I have an idea how I want the story to end, just getting there is the issue. So bare with me on this.
