Chapter Three
Alex, knocked on her sister's door.
"Hey, I thought you were going to work an extra shift, with you demanding food delivery an hour ago." Susan, said letting her sister in.
Luckily, the older Danvers, was alone. Lucy, was still at work.
"I have a wife Vas." Alex, said
"Why is it not the first time, I'm hearing that?"
"Probably not the first time telling you."
"First time you were drunk, now you're sobber. I'm starting to believe you. Have you decided to speed it up with Maggie.?" Vasquez, asked.
"I'm married to someone else."
"You cheated on Maggie?" Vasquez, asked confused
"I got drunk and married someone, I married someone in Las Vegas in 2018, I married the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Vas, what am I going to do? I swear I didn't know I was married until today. What am I going to do!?" Alex, ranted pacing up and down.
"Hey hey hey... hey! Look at me" Vasquez, said holding her sister by the shoulders. "Tell me what happened today?" She asked pulling Alex, to sit on the couch.
Alex, told her sister everything, from the phone call from the hospital, about how she felt around her wife, to her snapping at Kara and leaving her at the hospital.
"I think, I'm screwed. What I'm going to do?" She, asked again.
"Do you think she, will think I cheated on her? How do you tell your fiance that you already have a wife?" "Worse, how do you tell your wife, that you're engaged with another woman?" "This is so bad!" Alex, closed her eyes and rest her head on the couch's headrest.
"You know, you're going to need to tell them sooner, before they both find out themselves. Right?" Susan asked.
"I know. It's just the how, that I don't know." Alex, said.
"Be as honest as you can. You know, I'm with you whatever you decide as long your decision will make you happy in the end. You can marry both of the if you want. Polygamy is the thing right?" Susan, said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Arg, that would be Lena's thing." Alex, said grimacing and pushing at he sister's shoulder.
Vasquez, pulled her sister into a hug, "I'm here for you always and anytime, you know right?" She asked kissing her little sister's head.
"Yes, I know. I love you." Alex, said.
"I love you too. So tell me about this woman, where's she from? What does she do? How did she ended up at the hospital? Vas, asked interested in this woman seemingly took her sister's breath away.
"I will tell you one thing first." Alex, said laying her head on her sister's lap. "What would that be?" Asked Susan, playing with Alex's short hair.
"I understand, why my drunk self wanted to marry that woman, she's breathtaking. Alex, chuckles. Can you believe she's a blonde!?" Alex, asked looking at her sister.
"She is? I thought they were not your type."
"Seems like drunk me made an exception." Alex, said.
"From what I gathered, she's a journalist here in National City, she got injured in a mob going on downtown. You might even know her, knowing you're always watching the news. Blonde, blue eyed Journalist. Her name's Kara Grant." Alex, said almost dreamlike.
Vasquez, looked at her sister, she's never seen her like this. She even felt sorry for Maggie, because she felt like she already knows how this will end and it will not be in Maggie's favour.
"You married Kara Grant, the rising influential journalist in California!? Way to go little sister." She said messing with Alex's hair cut.
"I wish it was not this complicated." Alex, said
™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™
"How dare is she! Now she blames me like it's my fault that she does not remember? She's the one who got us in this fucking mess!" Kara, thought finishing her food.
"Can't it be a morning already? I need to leave this place as soon as possible." Kara, was not expecting to see the wife she left in a hotel room in Las Vegas. She didn't know the girl was a doctor or working to be one then. They didn't even share their names not to mention what they were doing for a living. The only thing they cryptically shared about each other is that one was from California and the other from New York. Alex, didn't even cared to mention that originally, she was from California or she was too drunk to remember.
If it wasn't for that marriage contract, Kara, wouldn't have known the other girl's name.
Even though Kara, was suffering from a massive hangover the last time she saw Alex, and the other girl had had a long brown hair then. Kara would recognise that face, that nose and those lips anywhere, even if she just have recovered from a concussion, even if the other girl had her hair cut and dyed it red now. Kara had looked at her, she'd know her anyhow, anywhere!, and if you'd sneak a peak into Kara's secret sketchbook you would not be surprised at how she still remembered the other girl's face, considering the said face has took half of Kara's sketchbook.
"The high speed you run into a danger at, is equal to the speed I am going to leave this earth with, if you keep doing it." Cat Grant, said kissing her daughter's forehead the next morning.
"Morning mom, I thought you weren't coming back until next week?" Kara, asked. "I didn't hire a babysitter before I left so I had to come back early to check on my only kid. How are you feeling? What happened" Cat, asked.
"You know the xenophobic attacks that had been rising downtown, things got violent yesterday and there were children I got in the middle of it trying to save one of the kids. I'm, fine though nothing serious happened."
"Yeah, except that you will be on desk duty for 12 weeks." Cat, said. "No! The doctor said two weeks." Kara, argues.
"Actually, Miss Grant, the specialist said 13 weeks. She might be young and not even a year in this job but trust me she knows everything bones and joints from skull to toes, the research she had lead since she was a residency in New York is the proof that she knows what she's talking about." Dr. Williams, said with a hint of pride in his voice. He had taken a liking to the new young doctor that you wouldn't suspect that she's genius until she open her mouth and talk about what she loves in a room full of a hospital board members.
"But, Dr. Williams, you're my doctor, you're are the one that fixed me not her."
"That's why I dropped from 13 to 12 weeks, 2 to 4 weeks on desk duty and 4 to 6 weeks on light duties, then after that you can lift off the weight of National City on your shoulders with no risk of hurting yourself again. Cat, laughed at this while Kara was pouting.
"You are good to leave, just take it easy Kara. They will need this at the front desk." Williams, said handing to Cat, a piece of paper and patting on Kara's good shoulder and left.
In the front desk Cat, handed the paper to Jane, who handed it to the nurse, probably for Kara's prescription for her shoulder pain. Kara, went to search her wallet for her medical aid card and handed it to Jane. Jane look at the computer and typed a few keys, she looked at Kara, "all your expenses are already paid mem." She said handing Kara, back her medical aid card.
"Mom! I can pay for myself, you know." Kara, glared at her mother.
"Hey, I know, otherwise I would have been broke by now if I'd kept paying for you. I didn't!"
"Then who? Who paid?" Kara, directed the question to the receptionist.
"Anonymous." Jane, said simply.
"To the Angel who paid, if your listening, if you keep paying for her, she will never stop running into a danger. Don't broke your bank account, she's an idiot." Cat, said with a show of looking upwards as if she will see the Angel hanging on the roof.
Kara, shoved her mom's shoulder rolling her eyes, "imagine what they think about you now, the Queen, looking for an imaginary angel on the roof." She said.
Jane, snickered amused by their banter. She wouldn't have guessed the Queen of the media, the ruthless CEO would openly made a stupid joke with anyone, not to mention in a public place, but Cat Grant proved to be a softy for her only kid. The Grant, women thanked the receptionist and left the hospital.
"Any idea about the anonymous, who paid the hospital expenses? You looked like you were expecting to see someone back there" Cat, asked glancing at her daughter.
"Fucking journalist, always paying attention" Kara, thought. "I was curious and maybe hoping to see this genius of a doctor, Dr. Williams, seems to be fond of." Kara, half lied, because in reality she was really hoping to see a glimpse of redhead that belongs to a certain doctor. Kara, was almost hundred percent certain that the anonymous who paid for her is the redhead doctor.
Now Kara, was debating whether to tell her mother about this marriage or she should wait to see Alexandra again so they would discuss a steps to a divorce. Kara, doesn't know why she felt the pang of sadness at the idea of divorcing this woman, they didn't know for fuck's sakes. She was a little disappointed too to left the hospital without seeing the other woman again.
"She just found out she's been married for three years now. That is an unusually thing to find out about yourself especially if Alexandra is in a serious relationshipa, that Kara, prays she's not." Kara, thought trying to rationalize the other woman's disappearance today. Kara, decided to wait before telling her mother....
