Problem part two
"Well....monel and I were wondering if you could come to dinner at my place...to night." Kara asked popping the 'p', fixing her glasses as she waited for Alex to answer.
"Really! Kara that's why your acting silly" Kara just gave her a smile and nodded yes. It's not that Alex didn't want to get to know monel more, no, quite the opposite, if he ever hurt Kara Alex would be the first one to kill him, literally. Alex was happy for Kara but being a protective big sister was her whole life job, she protected Kara from anything and anyone even though Kara could do it her self.
"Alex...I know you and, monel don't really get along but maybe you could give him a chance get to know him". Kara said knowing the two were not even close to being friends.
"I don't need to, Kara...I know exactly who he is" Alex said firmly, Since from the beginning monel never amused Alex so why would she even get to know him if she had all details.
"Alex he isn't a bad guy". Kara said standing up to get a water bottle from Alex's refrigerator Alex wasn't one to compromise when it came to others but, Kara.
Alex watched as Kara stood up and walked to the kitchen. She put the remote down on the couch, she signed. "He doesn't seem harmless to me. Kara, He is a daxamite your a kryptonian, he could destroy you any second, besides the point....he's a douche" Alex stated as she moved and sat on the kitchen stall facing Kara who had her palms on the counter.
"That was years ago, he has improved since our first encounter." Kara reached for Alex's hand that was resting on the counter right in front of her and placed a her hand over Alex's knuckles. "Alex Iam not asking you to give him permission to marry me". Kara laughed a bit but faded when Alex just stared at her. "All Iam asking...is that you get to know monel better." Alex was about to speak when Kara held up her free hand. "And no the info from the DEO and from your first thoughts don't count."
Kara had a point it's not like there ever would get married anyways, Alex didn't really know what made Kara like monel so much but she was guessing Kara felt the same way Alex felt about Maggie. "Kara, I don't know...I mean what would we even talk about- he brags about him self all the time so what's left to discover".
Kara stared at Alex removing her hand, crossing her arms over the counter and pouting her face.
Alex saw immediately what Kara was doing 'puppy face' ."ohh Kara" Alex spat dissmissing Kara's face spinning around the stool and walked back to the couch.
Alex did not have a chance to sit down with Kara right behind her still insisting. Alex turned around to meet Kara face to face. "Please, Alex do this for me". Kara said as she collapsed her hands together, pleading.
Alex was thinking about it but did she really feel up to going to dinner she could eat dinner at her own apartment. Alex kept looking at pouting Kara this was all ridiculous to her, but Kara wouldn't have made such a big deal if it wasn't important I mean she's pouting that was enough for Alex to realize that. Alex signed and crossed her arms over her chest loosely. "Fine Kara...I'll go". She signed it out.
Before Alex knew what was happening. Kara hugged her so tight she might explode."Kara! bit under pressure!" Alex managed to grit out tapping karas back to release her.
"Oh sorry" Kara whispered loudly letting go of her grip on Alex's mid waist. Kara was so happy Alex said yes and Alex could see that.
Alex slumped down a bit catching her breath slowly but easily, she stood up straight and smiled. "It's okay" Alex said holding her hands out for Kara to hug her again this time not so hard.
"And maybe if u feel scared or uncomfortable..." Kara was cut off by her sister. Alex slowly releasing her.
"Kara. Why would I be scared of monel, uncomfortable yes, but scared no, no no" Alex said proudly laughing a bit. Putting a lock of hair behind her ear. Alex never backed down from a challenge not when it included her family, or when it came to close friends playing a game.
Alex arched her eyebrow and crossed her arms over chest looking at Kara who was silent. "you could have Maggie there to make you comfortable" Kara teased.
"What!? No no no Kara, I don't want to drag Maggie into this". Alex said wavering her hands around. if it was just going to be her then she was fine but bringing along Maggie and not have the dinner have it go Kara's way it would just be a bigger problem.
"But Alex I um.." Kara trailed of slowly stepping back sticking her hands up, smiling nervously.Kara wanted to tell her since she came but would rather try and ease her into it.
Alex stepped in Kara's space when Kara started moving back Alex's arms at her sides arching a brow as to figure out what was Kara's next words. "You what Kara?" she said angrily but wasn't much because she didn't know the next words.
"Now Alex- we are sisters and I am a superhero so if you try anything people will be looking for me" Kara joked trying to go first with a joke before hand. Which was a bad first thing to say when Alex didn't even blink. all seriousness on her face. "I um..sort of invited Maggie to the dinner" Kara cleared her thoat ready for Alex's rant.
"What do you mean sort of" Alex looked mad and if it wasent for the joke earlier maybe she wouldn't be to angry. Alex searched Kara's eyes and sighed heavily, spinning around with her hand on her head sitting on the couch completely out of it. "Kara why would you do that- maybe she didn't even want to come and you forced her to" Alex whined for the sake of Maggie.
Kara saw how fusterated Alex was being perhaps it wasent a good idea to invite Maggie in the first place. "Alex I just I wanted you to go so bad I didn't even think Maggie might not have wanted to" Kara sounded guilty but wasn't "but Alex she said yes." Kara said her smile returning.
"Seriously Maggie said yes". Alex found that unexpected and it lifted a bit of her worry for Maggie to be included in this. Alex knew for a fact that Maggie didn't like dinners at all. Only when they where both alone and no one else.
"Yes" Kara shaked her head.
"Maggie sawyer" Alex said in a surprising tone. Kara nodded which left Alex to bite her bottom lip and squint her eyes at Kara not buying it at all. "What did you do" Alex asked.
"Alex! Come on" Kara said scoffing as she got up from the couch once again. All of a sudden Kara's phone rang she looked at her screen monel. "Hello monel".
"Yeah um...Kara where um...is the one flat pan...ahh never mind I got it". Monel said the sound of looking for pots could be hear as well as draws being opened and closed, he was having a hard time making dinner.
"Monel just wait until I get there I'll be over there in a minute I was just talking with Alex about dinner". Kara said after hearing the moments monel was making.
"Oh she said yes?" Monel asked.
"Yeah pfff of course she did" even though Kara had to beg she still made Alex come to dinner and that was good enough for her.
"Ok see you then" monel said.
"Yeah bye" Kara smiled as she said bye to monel and slowly faded away when she remembered what situation she was in right know.
"Sorry that was monel" Kara held the phone in her hand and wiggled it in front of Alex. Alex rolled her eyes in response "so I should get going see you tonight" when Alex just stared at her Kara spoke "you are coming right".
"Yeah...yeah I am" Alex said giving her a small smile despite being a bit mad kara invited Maggie. "Okay well I'll call you when Iam almost there" Alex said knowing Kara would be unhappy if the dinner was not perfected.
Kara turned around towards the door with Alex behind her. Alex stood at the door while Kara was in the hall way. "Listen Alex Iam sorry about..." Kara was cut off.
"Kara it's fine...I mean it surprised me that Maggie would agree to this so quickly, she doesn't like dinner very much so you know" Kara didn't know what to say so just smiled.
"But you haven't told me what did you actually tell her. So say it". Alex said watching as Kara thought about an answer. Whatever Kara was about to say it was a lie I mean she was thinking about it.
"Oh you know Alex. Hey Maggie would you like to come and have dinner with us". Alex squinted her eyes not yet really buying it but that was all Alex knew she would get out of Kara. But insisted on it.
"Really thats what she said" Alex played it out smooth shaking her head so she got it. "Okay, then you would'nt mind if I call Maggie and tell her to tell me". She knew Kara was stalling.
Oh shit busted maybe Kara didn't think this through or maybe she did but not so good.
"Okay remember when I said she agreed on her own um... I might have said that you told me to ask her because you where to busy at the DEO. So technically you invited her well that's what she thinks, ok see you then". Kara Hurried out in to the rest of the hall way before Alex said anthing further.
Alex was caught off guard but was not suprised when she most likely something like that would had happened before Kara was completely gone Alex stocked out her head from the door. "I hope monel burns the apartment down" Alex shouted she knew she had to feel bad about it but she wasn't when her sister was the girl of steel.
Kara's echoed laugh made Alex smile despite her being mad a Kara for doing what she did. She would pay for that some day.
