It's Totally Not A Date

                          By: superkarasdanvers
"It's a date." Alex deadpanned with an eyebrow raised at her sister who was currently moving around her apartment at speeds which were just a little too quick to be considered human.

Kara rolled her eyes and groaned, "It's not a date, Alex. She doesn't even like me that way." she didn't stop her movements as she went into the bedroom and switched outfits for the sixth time. "It's just a gala and she didn't want to go alone."

"A date." Alex took a triumphant sip of her beer. She was seated at the kitchen island, enjoying watching her sister panic to figure out what would be the best thing to wear on this "not date", when there was a faint knock at the door.

Kara was too busy to notice so Alex hopped out of her seat and peeked through the peephole to see a man dressed in a suit and holding a bag standing on the other side. "Kara, glasses." Alex glanced over her shoulder to see her sister grab the glasses and throw them on as she looked curiously at the door.

Alex swung it open with a smile, "Hey, can I help you?" Alex asked, eyeing the older gentleman who smiled upon the greeting.

"Ah, yes. Are you Miss Danvers?" he questioned.

"Not the one who lives here, but I'm her sister yes." Alex confirmed.

"You're Richard, right?" Kara's voice came from behind Alex as she took a few steps closer, "Lena's driver?"

The man nodded with a warm smile, "Yes, Miss Danvers I presume?" he questioned. Kara only nodded and with that the shorter man held the large bag forward. "Miss Luthor asks that you wear this to the event tonight."

Kara's mouth dropped open slightly and Alex snorted as she tried to suppress a laugh. Kara took the bag from the man and slowly unzipped the top part to reveal one of the most expensive looking dresses Kara had ever laid eyes on. "Woah." she breathed out, eyes as wide as saucers.

"She requested I pick you up in about an hour, is that okay?" he asked as if Kara would be able to formulate a different plan. With a final nod from Kara, Richard turned and made his way down the hall and out of sight.

Alex closed the door and leaned back against it, watching her sister take in the gift with a smug smile. She brought the beer to her lips for another sip as Kara unzipped the remainder of the bag. The dress was long and black with small triangles of missing fabric on either side just above the hips. It would show off her muscular build and even give a slight hint of the abs that lay beneath, but not quite enough. Overall the design was simple, no flashy parts or sequins. It was slick and sophisticated.

"Not a date?" Alex commented, her smile growing wider as Kara's cheeks reddened.

"Shut up." Kara groaned, turning and speeding away into her room.

Kara emerged much later than Alex had expected. Considering her sister's ability to be ready in less than a minute on a regular day, the forty-five minute wait was a bit alarming. Alex entertained herself by turning on the TV and tuning into a rerun of Law and Order: SVU. She had finished her first beer and was more than halfway through her second when Kara emerged.

She had the dress on and it made her look way more high class than she ever had before. She styled her hair in a half up, half down fashion and she had on just a little bit of make-up. Alex smiled at her little sister, covering her heart with her hand as she stood leaving her beer behind.

She scooped the glasses up off the coffee table where Kara had left them in her mad dash to the bedroom and approached her sister. "Kara, you look beautiful." she said in a genuine voice, raising the glasses and sliding them over Kara's face. They settled on her nose and Kara immediately brought up a hand to adjust them as she always did.
