Chapter 2
Kara decided to stop at the DEO on her way home, in order to check in with Alex and Brainy.
"Where have you been, Kara?" Alex asked as soon as Kara landed. She hadn't heard from Kara in a few hours and was starting to worry.
"I was with Lena." Kara stated.
"Oh." Alex sighed in relief. "How did it go?"
"I told her at the Pulitzer party just before her speech about me." The Super explained.
"So that's why you were upset. What did she say?"
"She didn't say anything until after the speech. She told me that I'll always be her best friend." Kara looked a little happier now.
"That's good." Alex was happy for her sister but it wasn't the reaction she had expected from Lena Luthor. "Why were you with her just now?"
"She asked if we could talk."
Alex had experienced plenty of conversations that started with 'Can we talk?' and none of them ended positively. "Oh no." She took a step closer to her sister, ready to hug her. "What happened?"
"She told me that she was mad and that I'd hurt her, but she understands why I kept this secret from her. And she told me that there would have to be no more secrets in order for our friendship to survive."
"So she's forgiving you?" Alex frowned, unsure of what the current situation was.
"I think so. I promised to tell her everything at lunch tomorrow." Kara was extremely happy that Lena was giving her this chance.
"Good. Don't screw this up though, Kara. If you do, it won't just be Lena you have to watch out for." She grinned mischievously at her little sister. "Now go home and get some rest. We'll try not to disturb your lunch tomorrow."
"Thanks, Alex." Kara flew off, after giving her sister a quick hug.
Alex shouted after her. "DON'T SCREW IT UP!" She knew that Kara would hear this because of her superhearing.
