Kara loved going out to the bars with her friends. She, Alex, Maggie, James and Winn always looked forward to Friday nights. They would all get together and make the most of their free time considering more often than not when they're with each other, they're working.

Ever since Maggie got involved with the DEO and found out that Kara was in fact Supergirl, Kara felt like she could let go on these nights again. In the early stages of Alex and Maggie's relationship she was always worrying about saying the wrong thing and revealing the secret. It's easy to get caught up when she's around her friends.

Usually, the group would just go to the alien bar that they always went to. Drinks and karaoke were always a promise there. But, one night Maggie decided that she wanted to take the group out to a club instead. Kara was a bit bummed, considering she just wanted to relax and enjoy her night off, but Alex was excited and she couldn't say no to her sister.

That's why she found herself standing in front of a large building where she could already hear the booming sound of music, without the super hearing. Maggie told her she couldn't just sport the jeans and sweater she would usually wear and that she needed to get a bit more dressed up. She scoffed at the idea, but didn't want to be the only one standing out.

Kara had never been very good with style, so she had to turn to Alex for some advice. She had a few dresses and just asked Alex to pick one for her. She was now wearing a short blue dress, because "Blue is your color, Kara", and her hair was half up and half down around her shoulders. Of course, she had to wear her glasses out due to the change of scenery, but it didn't bother her too much.

Winn stood beside her with his arm held out, he too was dressed up a bit more than usual. He wore a pair of black jeans and a loose white collared button up. "Shall we?" he questioned with a smile.

Alex, Maggie and James had gone in ahead of them. Alex and Maggie were looking beautiful as ever and James was wearing a tight suit. He took either woman on each arm and escorted them in, like a gentleman. They were reluctant at first, but James just smiled giving them an, "Oh come on, just to make me look good?". Alex rolled her eyes and wrapped an arm around James' to which Maggie followed suit on the other side.

Kara smiled and wrapped her arm in Winn's, "We shall." she beamed, glad to be here with her best friend. When the pair walked into the club Kara immediately detected the strong scents of alcohol and sweat. There were easily 100 people packed into the room, maybe more, and Kara was suddenly missing their hole in the wall dive bar. "Oh, wow." she commented, not expecting Winn to hear her over the sound.

"Yeah, I know." he commented back, not bothering to raise his voice so Kara could hear him, knowing full well she could detect his voice out of the crowd. "Not really my scene either." he laughed, spotting their friends at the bar. Alex was already nursing a drink and Maggie stood beside her with a protective hand on her hip. James was leaning back against the bar a few paces down, chatting up a woman.

"Wow, he's quick." Kara leaned in to say to Winn with a grin, gesturing toward James and the mystery woman. Winn laughed in response with a shrug and a nod.

They joined Maggie and Alex at the bar to get drinks. Kara knew it wasn't going to do much for her, but she had begun to like the taste of some alcohol. Plus, it would look a bit odd to not be drinking in a club.

Before long, Alex was pulling Maggie out onto the dance floor where James was already with his mystery woman and Winn was being hit on by a girl at the opposite end of the bar. Kara realized that she was sitting alone, but didn't mind as long as her friends were having fun.

She played with her straw a bit, poking at the ice cubes in the bottom of her drink. She had meant to ask for another, but noticed the bartender was busy and didn't want to bother her. Suddenly, Kara could sense her personal space being invaded. A woman was leaning against the bar, next to where Kara was seated, beckoning for the bartender's attention, "Eve." she waved her hand.
