I'm Not An Idiot

Chapter 9

Alex's POV
Today I'm going out with Kelly. But I'm not sure if it's a date and I don't want to be overdressed. But what if it is a date and I go underdressed? Ugh. I hate this. I need Kara. I sigh. After the incident a few days ago it's been awkward. I've forgiven her because I know that she is extremely upset, but she won't stop apologising and checking me. But I know that she's the one to help with this.

I drive to Kara's feeling nervous. When I get there I hurry upstairs and knock on her door. It opens a few seconds later.
"Alex? Are you ok?"
I nod. "I'm going out with Kelly and I'm not sure if it's a date or not and I need help with clothes."
She laughs. "Did you bring any? You're not going to fit in mine."
Oh. Whoops.
"No."
She laughs again. "Come in and wait."
I step inside and she rushes out, coming back with a huge pile of my clothes.
She smiles at me. "So, do you know where you're going for the may-be-date?"
"Yeah it's this new restaurant."
"Chez Amor?"
"You've heard of it?"
"Nia went there with Brainy the other day. She said it was extremely romantic and super posh. I think this is a date."
She smiles at me. Wow. A date. My first since Maggie and I broke up.
Great now I'm super nervous.
"Oh no. What if I mess it up and she doesn't like me. This is the first woman I've met since me and Maggie broke up that I like."
Kara puts her hand on my shoulder. "You're not going to mess this up. You're Alex Danvers. The cool sister who is a badass and can do anything."
I smile. "Yeah. I can do this."
Kara picks out a long black dress that has a slit down the leg and a low neck line. "This. This is perfect."
I smile and nod and go to try it on but Kara stops me.
"Alex. I really am sor-"
"You don't need to keep apologising. I already forgave you. I understand that you were so angry and upset that you weren't thinking straight. I still love you Kara and you're my sister."
She smiles and hugs me tight. I return it but I can't physically squeeze as hard as Kara.
I let her go and try on the dress.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm waiting at my apartment when I hear a knock. I open the door and see Kelly there with flowers and wearing a long beautiful red dress that shows her curves.
"Woah." She giggles slightly then looks me over.
"I could say the same. You look beautiful." I blush and smile.
"You look stunning."
She also blushes then hands me the flowers. "I didn't know what your favourites were so I asked Kara and she said Lilys." I take them and smell them.
"They're perfect."
She smiles and holds out her hand. "Shall we." She says with a posh accent. I take her hand. "We shall."

We walk hand in hand down to her car and she opens the door for me. "Why thank you." She laughs and shuts the door after I get in. She gets in the other side, starts the car and drives towards the restaurant. "So what made you pick this restaurant?"
"A friend of mine suggested it. She went the other week with her boyfriend who then proposed to her. She said it was romantic and beautiful and that is what you deserve." She turns and smiles at me and I blush. We talk a little through the ride, getting to know each other a little more.

We arrive at the restaurant and get out of the car. I get to the door first and open it for Kelly. "Thought I'd return the favour." She giggles slightly. She goes to the host and says we have a reservation for Olsen. She takes us to a table in a corner, a little secluded from the rest of the restaurant. Kelly pulls out my chair for me to sit and then sits in hers.
"Wow. This place is gorgeous."
It's spacious meaning there are a lot of different tables. It has low lighting, the floor is clean and shiny, the walls are a deep red and it is decorated with paintings of couples and gives me a Valentine's Day vibe.
Kelly smiles and nods.
A waiter comes over to our table.
"Here are your menus ladies."
We thank him and he leaves.

I open the menu. "Woah. This is expensive." Kelly shrugs.
"Order what you want. Don't look at the price. You deserve to be spoiled." I blush. "Sounds like you're thinking of paying."
She smirks. "Well I did ask you out, pick the restaurant and drive you hear soooo.." I laugh.
"We'll see."
A few minutes later the waiter comes back and we order a bottle of wine. "I feel so fancy and posh."
She laughs. "Me too."
"So. What does Kelly Olsen do for fun?"
"Hm. Well I like baking, going to the gym, watching TV and reading."
"Maybe we could work out together sometime."
She smiles and nods.
"You could help me bake as well."
"I can't even make instant gravy."
She bursts out laughing, having to cover her mouth as people were staring.
"You'd make it more interesting at least." I smile.
"What about you? What does Alex Danvers think is fun?"
"I like working out as well, I like playing pool, I like drinking beer but I'm not like an alcoholic or anything and I like game nights with Kara and friends. Which reminds me. Do you want to join us for game night tomorrow?"
"Wouldn't there be an odd number though?"
I shake my head.
"Lena and Kara have fallen out so I doubt she'd be there tomorrow."
"Oh no. Is Kara ok? I know that they care for each other... a lot."
I laugh slightly. "She could be better but she's doing ok."
Kelly nods. She's about to say something when the waiter comes back. "Are you ready to order?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After we argued slightly on who's paying, we decided to split it. We're now on our way back to mine in a cab, as me and Kelly have been drinking.

"I had a really good time tonight."
I smile at her. "So did I."
She smiles back and the cab pulls up to my apartment block. I pay the cab driver and turn to Kelly.
"Do you wanna come in for a drink?"
She smirks slightly. "Sure."

We get out the cab and go up to my apartment. When inside, I make us both a drink and hand hers to her.
"You have a really nice place."
"Thank you. Kara helped me decorate."
She laughs. "Thought so."
I go to the couch and she follows.
I turn to her, looking deep into her chocolate eyes. "I'm going to be straight with you. I am slightly drunk but I do want to say this."
She giggles.
"I like you. A lot. I really enjoy hanging out with you and you are an amazing person. If you want to, I thought we could make this official."
Her smile is really big and she nods.
"I would really like that. I really like you too."
I smile and my eyes flicker down to her lips before going back to her eyes. Her eyes however are staring at my lips. I take this as a sign and I start to lean in. She meets me half way.

The kiss is slow and gentle at first. Then we begin to speed up, the kids becoming passionate and hungry. She pulls away, her eyes even darker than before.
"Shall we take this else where?" She eyes the bed and I smirk.
"We shall." I then take her hand and lead her to the bed.

Kara's POV
Alex just left for her date and I'm on the couch not knowing what to do. Right now I'm usually on the phone to Lena, telling her about my day and she tells me about hers. I decide to turn on the TV and I start to flick through the channels. Of course there's nothing on. I sigh and throw my head back. I use my hearing to see if there's any criminals about that I could take down. Nothing. Which is good but also boring. My thoughts wonder back to Lena.
I'm such an idiot. Lena is my best friend and someone who I wanted to be with and I threw that all away because my friends said I couldn't trust her. What if she goes evil? What if she turns out like her brother? Oh Rao.
That's not going to happen. It's Lena. She's a good person at heart.
But she has Luthor blood.
My thoughts are interrupted by my phone ringing.

I go over and pick it up, seeing that it's Lena's office. I get excited and answer instantly.
"Lena?"
It's not Lena that answers me. "No. Sorry. It's Jess her assistant."
Disappointment fills me.
"Oh. Is everything ok?"
"Not quite."
I begin to panic.
"Is Lena ok? Is she hurt? Is L-Corp under attack?"
"No! No nothing like that."
I sigh in relief.
"But it is bad. And it's about Lena."
"What happened?"
"Well, first, you're Supergirl right?"
"Pffff. Whaaat? Noooo."
She doesn't answer.
"How do you know?"
"The way that Lena talks about how she's mad at you and Supergirl gives it away."
I groan. "You can't tell anyone."
"I would never. But Kara, you're not gonna like what I'm about to say."
"Tell me."
"I went into Lena's office a few days ago to try to convince her to stop being mad at you. She was working on something."
"What was it?"
I feel anxious as I ask.
"It was a gun."
A gun? Why would she be building that? I'm about to ask when Jess continues.
"A kryptonite gun."
I freeze. My breath hitches and tears fill my eyes.
A kryptonite gun?! She's going to try and kill me. She IS like her brother. I can't believe this!
Or it could be something to threaten me with.
It's quite a threat. Who goes that far with a threat and don't go through with it?!
I'm brought out of my thoughts by Jess' voice.
"KARA?!"
I begin to breathe again and blink away the tears.
"Yeah. Sorry. I'm here."
"I want to clarify that she doesn't want to kill you. She said she just wants you to hurt as much as she is hurting. She wants you to feel pain."
"Right. Well. Thank you for telling me but I need to go."
"Yeah. No problem I understand. Bye Kara."
"Bye."
I hang up and lean against the counter, breathing heavily and trying to absorb the news I was just given.

She has a gun. A kryptonite gun.
She wants to hurt me. Like, REALLY hurt me.
She must hate me.
