#no one told Alex that Kara’s powers included that lmao

[natalievoncatte]

Alex rolled onto her side, and was a little surprised to see Kelly Olsen laying next to her, turned away and curled up the Egyptian cotton of her bed

(their bed)

snoozing softly in the morning light. Alex took the time, as one does, to admire the vulpine curves of Kelly’s back and the elegant sweep of her shoulders. She wanted nothing more but to lean in and plant a soft kiss on the back of her neck and wake her, which would hopefully lead into a glorious Saturday morning of sun-kissed, gentle lovemaking that would result in an forgotten breakfast and breathy declarations seared into hot skin with caressing fingers and tasting lips.

Unfortunately her fucking phone was going off.

Alex rolled out of bed and snatched it, relieved that she hadn’t disturbed her girlfriend. She threw on a button-down as a makeshift robe and plodded out into the kitchen.

She wasn’t expecting a call from…

“Lena?”

“Alex?”

“Yeah, what’s up? You don’t call me often.”

“I need help. It’s an emergency. Sort of.”

Alex glanced back at Kelly’s languid form and one long leg slipping out from under the sheets.

“Where’s Kara?”

“I can’t talk to Kara about this. It has to be you, Alex.”

“Okay, sure,” Alex said, warily. “We can grab a coffee later at-“

“Alex, it has to be now and at my place. This is serious.”

Alex bit her lip. There was a compelling urgency to Lena’s voice. Alex didn’t have Kara’s super senses but she could pick up the nervous energy and hint of feed behind the words.

“Okay,” said Alex. “I’m on my way.”

Alex pulled on her cleanest pants and most readily available tank top and scribbled a note for Kelly (encouraging her to either stay in or be back in bed by the time Alex returned, as their business was unfinished) and grabbed her car keys.

Rising her bike would have been… a sore subject, as it were.

Morning traffic was surprisingly light and she made good time. Lena buzzed her up and she walked into Lena’s weirdly cold penthouse, and found her sister’s best friend pacing rapidly back and forth, dressed in a hoodie and hugging herself.

“Okay,” said Alex. “I’m here, Lena. What’s going on?”

“I’m pregnant,” Lena blurted out, before Alex had finished speaking.

Alex stared at her.

“Funny, I always thought you were a virgin.”

Lena glared at her. Alex knew why Kara was so fascinated by her- she had those big pretty eyes that radiated sadness and set off Kara’s protective instincts. Alex had figured out a long time ago that these two dipshits should just bang it out, but it wasn’t really her place to tell them, especially if it meant outing Lena, or dealing with Kara’s baggage from her weirdly fascist home planet and its bizarre ideas about sex.

(One example of said baggage being her sister’s heart breaking over the alien fuckboi from the asshole planet. If only Kara had realized that her gorgeous kind billionaire best friend was in love with her… you know, before the whole world domination Kryptonite laser thing)

(People who aim orbital fusion cannons at their friends should not cast stones, Alex had decided)

“Alex?”

Oh. Lena was talking. Alex pretty much blue screened there.

“Right, you’re pregnant. Are you sure?”

“I’ve taken two tests, and I’m late.”

Alex rubbed at her chin. Lena looked like a drowned rat, more than a little terrified.

Alex swallowed hard.

“Okay, first question. Did someone hurt you?”

Lena looked up sharply. “What? No.”

Standing to pace the room again, Lena rubbed at her arms as if she were cold.

“So um,” said Alex. “Do you need my help with…”

“I just need someone I can talk to that isn’t Kara. I can’t tell her yet.”

Alex swallowed. Hard. “Okay. Tell me what’s going on.”

Lena sighed and stared out her balcony window.

“Do you remember that game night where we all got sloshed, last month?”

“Yeah,” said Alex. “You hosted. As I recall, Kara was the last to leave.

“She didn’t leave. I… I did something stupid. I tried to seduce her, clumsily. I was drunk off my ass.”

Alex tensed, the hairs on the back of her neck rising.

“Oh,” said Alex. “She brushed you off and you went out for a hookup? I’ve done worse. Are things okay between you?”

Lena stared at Alex as if she’d just grown a second head.

“No, Alex. Kara spent the night. She insisted we not do anything intimate until we both sobered up, but I talked her into staying in bed with me.”

Alex sighed. “You got any of that expensive single malt? Your dad’s brand?”

“It’s eleven in the morning.”

“Well, it’s not like you can drink it. You can have juice.”

Lena glared at her. “Cabinet by the fridge.”

Alex ended up pouring two glasses of cranberry juice and sat down at the kitchen island, pushing one over to Lena.

Lena sighed. “I don’t want to get into the details but we were definitely sober when we woke up.”

“And?” said Alex.

“We, um, we had sex,” said Lena.

“And then she got weird and brushed you off and you went out for a hookup?”

“What? No! Just let me finish telling the story.”

Alex sipped her juice, enjoying the bite on her tongue. “Okay.”

“We’ve been sort of seeing each other ever since. Quietly, keeping it to ourselves. Kara is…” Lena sighed, “she’s very protective and she’s afraid that you’ll get upset if you find out we’re together.”

Alex’s fist closed tightly around her glass.

“Lena,” Alex explained, “I’ve forgiven and forgotten a lot from you, but I’m having a hard time understanding how this happened if you’re with my sister. Did you cheat on her?”

Lena looked up sharply from her glass. “What the fuck, Alex? How could you even ask me that? God, am I ever going to be good enough for your sister? I know I fucked up. I know what I did was wrong. Hurting her was the worst thing I have ever done and I would trade anything to take it back, but we are in…”

“Okay,” Alex cut her off. “Fine. Our lives are fucking weird, so I’ll give you the benefit of tbe doubt. But usually you being pregnant would imply that a man was involved somehow.”

Lena blinked. “What?”

“You’re pregnant. There has to be a father.”

Lena stared at her in abject confusion.

Then she said, “Alex, Kara is the father.”

Alex looked at her for too long a moment.

“I’m sorry but what the fuck, Lena? What did you do?”

“What did I do?” Lena demanded. “It’s not my fault! I mean it is as much my fault as it is hers, but we weren’t worrying about protection the first morning and after that neither of us brought it up. I know, I’ve been stupid, I just…”

Alex’s mouth fell open.

“Protection? You and her? What the fuck?”

Lena took a long pull of cranberry juice and winced at the tartness.

“You didn’t know?”

“Know what?”

“Apparently, under a yellow sun, Kryptonians can, um, adapt to a sexual partner’s body.”

“Okay, okay, okay!” Alex snapped, “okay fine my little sister… with you… and you’re pregnant. Fine, we’re on the same page. What now?”

Lena stared at her, biting her lip as she sought answers.

“Are you going to keep it?”

“Keep it?” said Lena. “It’s Kara’s. Of course I will. That’s not even a question. I’m just… I’m scared, Alex. What does this mean? How is she going to react? What if… Jesus, I’m carrying a half-Kryptonian baby. Is that even safe?”

“It worked out fine for Lois and Clark. Twice. You’ll be okay, if having the baby is what you want.”

“It is,” said Lena. “Kara makes me deliriously happy, Alex. She was like a knight in shining armor that night and she was so kind and gentle the next morning and it’s like… like this was natural. We both fell into it so easily that it was like it had always been this way. I love her. I love her so much.”

Lena was red faced, looking embarrassed as she cast her eyes down. Alex reached across the table and took her hands.

“Well, I’m glad you dipshits figured it out. Watching you two blush and stammer at each other for another five years would’ve killed me.”

“ALEX!”

“If you want my blessing, you have it. I’m sorry I doubted you, but in my defense, I didn’t know she could… do… that.”

“Uh, right,” said Lena. “I want to call her and ask her to come over now so I can tell her. I know this should be a private moment but… can you stay? It just feels like you belong here for this.”

“Yeah, Lena. I’ll stay.”

Lena smiled.

Supergirl 3x18 Shelter from the Storm Reactions

Lena’s lived in a hotel FOR TWO YEARS???? She’s been afraid the city would reject her for TWO YEARS??

I mean, I guess so did Royal Tenenbaum?

GIVE. LENA.LUTHOR. A. HUG. No, I rephrase. I will give Lena Luthor a hug. C’mere, girl. I got you!

Aw, GuardianCorp is cute y’all. I’m still annoyed how they started out - for writing purposes it was just lazy in that they just didn’t lay the groundwork right for that relationship - BUT I do like Lena and James where they are right now and the last few episodes gave them both more screentime to actually display their relationship dynamic to the viewer outside of them both being territorial at work, not trusting a Luthor blah de blah. And I LIKE James. He’s such a great character, I want to see more of this secure, comfortable, good hearted, talented dude.

James doesn’t have his tie on yet, but he has his Shield on? YEAH OK

OOOOO Kryptonite Spray. Dang. I’d be afraid I’d mix that up with perfume or something. Also, it’s so pretty!

Reign’s up early lol

Space Dad and Space Grand Dad BEAAAANS

Lol Coffee as bean water is just so funny to me. Cuz it’s true

DEO & Legion Crew Where’s my Brainy & Winn BROTP

Cape tricks just sounds dirty to me. Is it just me? Aw THERE’S MY BRAINY & WINN BROTP lolz

“Future dirt” bahahaha I’m dying This reminds me of a time I went to an festival and forgot to get my brother something so I picked up a rock from the parking lot (I was going to steal a sign but I didn’t have the right screw driver) and gave it to him and told him it was from the moon. He believed it for about 5 hours. The look on his face when he realized it definitely was not a legit moon rock though….hahahaha. It’s been over 10 years and it’s still funny.

Brainy hugs like my Toddler and it’s terrifying. Here, let me squish your face. eeeeeeeeee

Alex at Luthor Mansion AN INVISIBLE MANSION??? WHAT THE WHAT And I thought invisible jets were cool

Kara & J’onn checking in on Lena & James Kara asking if Lena’s ok D’awww. MORE TENSION PLEASE Screw you James, no one cares hahaha JK, but really - y’all are friends. Shouldn’t you check in with him, Kara?

I don’t know what Lena’s dress pattern is, but I think it’d be tight as a bow tie.

Kara & J’onn go to see Mama “White Lady” Arias Lmao White Lady with a shotgun? Eeeeee

ARE HER SCRIBBLES KRYPTONIAN OH SHEEEEET

Can we talk about how neatly the Reign World Killer symbol has been penciled onto the wall?

“I’m not gonna turn away from her now” says Mama Arias but you were gonna pull a gun on someone looking for pills?

OKAY

Alex Visits Ruby at Luthor “It’s Invisible” Mansion Aw Ruby loves Alex

I LOVE MOM ALEX OMGGGG

Back to Kara & J’onn at Mama “White Lady” Arias’ house Hahaha Kara and food. I’m with you, lady. Pudding’s pretty great.

Dead flowers CALLED IT. REIGN IS BLIGHT HAHAHAHA SUCKAHS It might just be that I’m super gay, but holy hell Reign’s nails are terrifying.

Ohmygod. This just got TEMPLE OF DOOM level intense.

If Sam was upset about killing people as Reign before. Geeeez

Mon El/Imra and the Necklace at the DEO MONEL. GIVE. THE NECKLACE. BAAAAACK ALKDFSJ;LKDFJS;LDFJKSLDFJKSLDJKS

Brainy bugged the diiiirt?? Awww dude

Are you suuuuure there’s no blight?

Even if Sam comes back at this point, how is she going to live with herself?

Back to Luthor Mansion with Alex and Ruby ALEX LOVES YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN?!?

I didn’t think I could love her more.

Hell yes.

Aw, Rubes knows she’s being lied to. Kids know.

Back to the DEO Party SUPERGIRL, YOUR SECRET WEAPON IS LENA GODDAMMIT

Um, why can’t Imra just stay?

Also, did Chris lose a ton of weight? Are you ok? Is that why we have a beard?

Lena with Kryptonite

Weeeelll this is awkward

Soooo why is Kara ok with low levels of Kryptonite in the training room? Ok ok, I have to go back and rewatch that scene.

Rewatching-

This is OOC Kara, IMO and I like angst.

I dunno, it was just too quick jumping down Lena’s throat. Totes in character for Lena though.

“Even if I did trust you” says SG

That means you don’t. Ouch.

Reign found the invisible mansion without a generator....apparently I know it’s a plot point, but wouldn’t Lex friggin Luthor have a generator to avoid what Reign just did in cutting the power

What cat did they use for Reign’s growl? Damn

Uhhh WHERE’S THE KRYPTONITE SPRAY

Lena save the good stuff for her hotel room? Lmao

I didn’t know bullets could be extra. But that bullet Alex just shot? Super Extra

Reign Unmasked Aw Ruby. Aw honey baby pie. :((((((( I’m sorry, sweetie.

Reign contained in LCorp Oh shit. We back at LCorp

I LOVE LENA SO MUCH. DAMMIT

Aw I was weirdly hoping Lena and Monel would have a conversation. Is that weird? Hmmm

J’onn and his dad’s storyline just breaks my heart.

And Alexa and Ruby breaks my heart.

Lena and Kara breaks my heart.

SUPERGIRL IS BREAKING MY HEART.

I’d be lying though if I said I didn’t love it.

Kara & Lena in Elevator Whoaaaaa “She crossed a line. I can never trust her again”-Lena BREAKIN. MY. HEART.

I know some of y’all think Lena knows due to this scene. But I don't think so. I think that look was her being hurt about her relationship with supergirl and calculating/thinking that Kara is close to SG. If she already knew that Kara was Supergirl, I don’t think we’d get this frankness about what happened and this honesty about how she feels about it. IMO, Lena would shut her out, or wouldn’t give additional/in depth information unless absolutely necessary. This was an “overshare” to a friend.

That hug was so sweet though.

I’m bummed that this angst is occurring because of such out of character behavior from Kara. I guess it was the easiest way to have Kara be upset and set Lena up as following in Luthor footsteps?

I dunno. Maybe I’ve read too many fanfictions, but I think there were other ways for a similar dynamic to have been created without Supergirl acting out. Maybe I just needed more on screen reason for Kara to be so untrusting or SO afraid of her best friend? We’ve spent basically two seasons of Kara defending Lena against the world, literally. This included a video of Lena allegedly stealing kryptonite. Kara’s doubt happened too quickly.

Do I think she should be upset about the kryptonite thing? Absolutely. It adds to being upset about Lena not telling Supergirl about holding Reign in the first place. They could have worked together from the start, or at least, that would be Kara’s view of it and that’s realistic to her character. Having Kara hurt that Lena didn’t trust her? Now that I believe. That’s a more organic wedge to put between them. Kara being trusting and eager to help and having Lena be the one that’s insecure in their relationship with trust issues? I am here for in character angst. Honestly that’s why I love the two of them. Their dynamic is so wonderful with each of their histories. It’s why I keep reading SuperCorp fanfiction. And look - I’m not expecting SuperCorp to be cannon, but the things that make a romantic relationship believable are the same traits that make their platonic cannon relationship so endearing and believable as well. They’re complimentary opposites. Both come from a place of pain and loss, Kara with an almost endless optimism and outward empathy to the world with Lena holding things closer to the chest, a little more pessimistic/realistic but still working for what she thinks is right for the world and those closest to her.

Maybe that coffee was a mistake.

Anyways. I’m still frustrated with the show for writing out of character behaviors in order to move plots along. That said, it’s a campy superhero show and I’ve definitely been entertained by this episode and the last few while still feeling relatively connected to the characters so it’s not all bad.

Definitely looking forward to how they tie this up for the season or leave it hanging for next.

[lastloveklaroline]

Supergirl 2x17

Just when you think these two can’t get more INCREDIBLE!

Mon-El trying to be the perfect romantic boyfriend to make everything up to Kara, by filling her life with joy, awe.

Talking about his parents ship still up in the sky over them... "Is that what they mean by helicopter parenting?" AHAHAHAHA

Kara excited over her hologram bounty message, ahahaha.

Mon-El's parents put a bounty on her head because they didn't successfully break them up I bet.

As her boyfriend he chimes in that he thinks she should lay low, and because he didn't want to lose her again like he just almost did in The Flash, also..."I COOK NOW!" LMAO

Daddy J'onzz telling Mon El to keep an eye on her, omgggggggg.

But first he has to have a chat with the rents.

How did clueless HERCULES team up with evil LOIS LANE because clearly she's the one wearing the shady pants in this relationship. Clingy baby Mon-El story though, awe man. "We wish no harm on your friend." I actually like his dad, but like I said, his mom is shadyyyyyyy.

Alex has such a good heart and is always saying the right thing, aweeeeeeeeee.

Game night with her friends going stir crazy and about to leave just as Mon-El shows up, Jimmy actually telling him to stand between her and her super suit, wow I can't believe he said that nicely.

Huffy-arms-crossed Kara asking him where he was and he straight up tells her he was questioning his parents as suspects, yessssss.

Mind-controlled Mon-El attacking Kara right out the window, and she's gonna have to fight him back, ahhhhhhhh.

I bet shady lois lane mama mon-el made this hunter attack him specifically to throw him off their trail.

Def heard some bones crack when she hit him in the chest, ouch, also I love that she's trying to work with him on how to control it, and trying to fight it omg.

She punched him in the face after he was let go of it, lmao.

Anyone else see Mon-El's smirk behind Alex when she said "Get me a wrench." He's all for letting big-sis torture the powerful telepath. But here comes another strong telepath, J'onzz. Who reveals it was Mon-El's mama.

Mon-El wants to run away with her and she spoils the ending of Romeo and Juliet for him, rude. But that "one of the more annoying things about you...thank you...you're welcome" is one of the cutest things ever. And Kara saying how Mon-El changed and believing that his mother will be happy for him.

This is killing him that they're trying to hurt her to get him back. But he agrees they'll try and talk to her.

And that's how they meet in the fortress and Kara's going on about how he's happy on earth and they have a connection, and of course shady mama is having none of it and attacks her with kryptonite scythes, BITCH.

MON-EL SURRENDING TO HIS MOTHER SO SHE'LL STOP HURTING KARA!

I'M CRYINGGGGGGGGGG! Kara telling him not to go so needs to be giffed with Mon-El telling her to stay with him in the musical episode, especially after his earlier line about not wanting to lose her again.

3 KARAMEL EPISODES FULL OF ANGST IN A ROW. I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A YOYO WITH THIS SHIP OMG!

Daddy Hercules didn't know about Shady Mama, I KNEW IT!

And of course Kara can't go after the ship because the president has told J'onzz they can't.

"Please, J'onn. I can't lose him."

Hercules it's nice that you assure him Kara will be safe but you need to shut you wifes shit down omg.

Mon-El telling his dad that he wants to make their planet better than before. Trying to convince him to rebuild it with him and Shady Mama slaps him and throws him in a cell, seriously what are you doing with her Hercules. I think he's starting to see it though, and hopefully stops this.

Kara distracting Shady Mama in a fight while Winn comes to rescue Mon-El, and the Star Wars thing ahahaha. And it's J'onzz not Kara fighting Shady Mama, doesn't stop Kara from storming in last minute.

Hercules fighting Martian Manhunter. Nice. J'ONZZ FIGHTING TO KEEP HIS FAMILY TOGETHER, MON-EL IS THEIR FAMILYYYYYYYYYYY.

I know you were just trying to save Kara but, Mon El did you actually think before you blew a whole in the ship lol, at least he held onto Winn. "I can see now that this is your family." HERCULES HERCULES HERCULES! THANK YOU! HE GOT IN THE MIDDLE AND CALLED EVERYONE OFF AND SEES THAT HIS SON MADE HIS CHOICE! "I can see now that this is your family." YESSSSSSSS!

"You came for me...Everytime." OMG THIS SHIP! I REALLY DIDN'T THINK WHEN I STARTED THIS SHOW FOR CHRIS THAT I WOULD GET ANOTHER ENDGAME SHIP LIKE THIS OKAY!

Shady Mama complaining that Krytpon has taken everything including her son from her, I dont feel the least bit bad, your tears aren't fooling me sistah.

Mon-El once again proving his incredible, just as Kara said, telling his parents he's glad their alive but they won't ever see him again.

Alex helping her girlfriend get closure, she's so good.

THEIR ON THE COUCH AGAIN! YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE GOOD WHEN THEY'RE ON THE COUCH!

AND IT WAS!

Him telling her how she makes being brave look so easy but it's hard and he admires her so much and she says she won't forget how he sacrificed himself for her.

"We saved each other today."

NOT JUST LIKE ROMEO AND JULIET THOUGH, LOL, FINISH THE PLAY MON-EL, LOL.

They're so cute though.

Unlike his parents, and Shady Mama killing Hercules because she just can't let go, kinda saw that coming.

Next Week! RAVI IS A VERY BAD MAN, AND BOYFRIEND TO LENA APPARENTLY.
