"So... I'm kind of dating Sam." Alex said, going for casual, but sounding unsure, so she clarified, "I mean, I am."
There was a brief pause and then Kara randomly said, "Water, wet."
"What?" Alex frowned.
"Sorry, I thought we were just stating the obvious." Kara teased with a beaming smile.
Alex stared daggers at her sister for a few long seconds, and then smirked, "You mean like the fact that your dating Lena?"
"What? Me, dating Lena Luthor? No, no, no, no, NO! We're just friends! Like... best friends. What would make you think that..." Kara protested, before weekly trailing off when she saw the look she was getting from her sister, and then she just sighed and blushed, "Okay, FINE! We're totally dating."
"Ah-ha, I knew it." Alex grinned smugly.
"No, you didn't." Kara whined, "You thought that we were dating like, months ago."
"Or pretty much since you met her." Alex added dryly.
"Yeah, that." Kara grumbled, before insisting, "But we weren't. We only just got together, like, a week ago. So all the stuff you teased me about, was just innocent best friends stuff."
"Uh-huh." Alex replied dryly.
"It was!" Kara insisted, blushing as she remembered a particular accusation, "And for the record, we never had sex in any of those places you said we did."
"Uh-huh." Alex replied dryly.
"We didn't!" Kara protested in disbelief, and way too loud for the little restaurant they were having lunch in.
"Uh-huh." Alex replied dryly.
"Seriously! We just had sex last night!" Kara blurted out without meaning to, and then covered her mouth, and blushed with embarrassment.
"Uh, what?" Alex's eyes went wide in realization of what had just been said, then quickly followed up with, "Kara, that's great. Wow. I'm so proud of you."
"You are?" Kara frowned, a little taken aback by this response.
"Of course." Alex insisted, "I've been there, so believe me, I know, that's a big step. And I'm glad we can talk about this. It's what being sisters is all about."
"Yeah?" Kara smiled softly.
"Yeah." Alex confirmed, "Tell me everything."
Which again caused Kara to blush, although after a brief pause, she realized Alex was just as mortified by the idea as she was, so she grinned teasingly, "Really?"
"Not, not the gory details. Obviously." Alex clarified, "Just overall feelings. You know?"
"I know." Kara beamed, initially struggling to find the words before beginning to babble so fast Alex could barely keep up, "Oh God Alex, it was magical! Like, I was so, so nervous, and I almost asked you for help, but... I just couldn't, you know? So, we just did it, and oh my Rao, Alex, it was amazing! Lena was so sweet, and kind, and patient, guiding me through it every step of the way. I felt so... safe. And loved. And cared for. Rao, I could just kiss her all night long, you know? Oh God, it's so... it's so new, and exciting. And not just the sex. I'm dating her! I'm dating my best friend. Oh Rao, I'm dating a girl! And it's just so... like... wow, you know?"
"Believe me, I know." Alex beamed.
"Was that what it was like with you and Sam? Or you and..." Kara asked brightly, before trailing off as she realized who she had almost mentioned.
"Yeah." Alex said softly, before clarifying, "Well, me and Maggie were never best friends, but she was the one to guide me through the first time, and she was definitely sweet, kind and patient. It made it so easy to fall in love with her. It wasn't the only reason, but it helped. And now..."
"Now you have Sam." Kara said softly, before realization hit, "Oooooooooh, only it's different, because now, you're like... the guide?"
"Exactly." Alex smiled, before confessing, against her better judgment, "And you know what? I like it. I like it a lot. I was so scared that I wouldn't be. Scared that I would screw it up. But... wow."
"That's great." Kara beamed, "In that case, I guess I'm proud of you too."
"You guess?" Alex teased.
"I am!" Kara corrected herself quickly, before groaning when she saw the look on her sister's face, "No fair, you're being mean to me when I'm trying to be supportive."
"I know, I'm sorry. I love you." Alex reached across the table and placed her hand over Kara's.
"I love you too." Kara beamed happily, the two sisters shared a smile for a few brief seconds, before she pointed out, "Look at us. Two queer girls living our best lives. I'm so proud of us."
"You guess?" Alex teased again.
"Oh don't even." Kara laughed, before raising a glass, "To us."
"To us." Alex parroted, touching her glass to Kara's, before the sisters took a sip of their drinks. Just then their phones buzzed, and given their jobs they were quick to reach for them, Alex groaning when she saw the news, and then told her sister, "You know I hate to cut these things short, but I have to go."
"Me too." Kara said sadly, and then quickly added, "Because I'm a reporter. And I have to go and report. You know?"
"I know." Alex said softly, before warning her sibling, "Just be careful. You're only human, you know?"
"Yeah... yeah, you too." Kara stammered in reply, and ran off.

Alex thought nothing of Kara's awkward reply, as her sister had always been weird. Besides, she had much more pressing matters to attend to, namely a small group of alien terrorists causing havoc, not too far away from where she was trying to have a nice, normal sisterly lunch with Kara. Normally she didn't get there first, but she thought this might be the exception to the rule.
But no, by the time she arrived Supergirl had things well in hand, although it looked like they had given her some trouble, as her face was busted up, but somehow still pretty, and her clothes were in tatters. Her cape in particular had been torn away, but that was just fine with Alex, as it gave her a great look at Supergirl's butt being hugged by that bright red miniskirt of hers.
She talked to some reporters first, giving Alex a chance to admire that goddess of a woman from afar. Part of her felt guilty for that, given that the DEO had worked with Supergirl in the past, and would likely do so again, and it was very unprofessional of her to stare at a work colleague, even if they didn't notice.
Of course, she mostly felt bad because she had a hot date tonight with an extraordinary woman, one who Alex could feel herself falling for, if it hadn't happened already. Then again, there was nothing wrong with looking, right? Or at least there shouldn't be, so why did she feel like the wrong outweighed the right? It was all very confusing, especially as she had a weird flash of something she couldn't make sense of, just before Supergirl came over to her.
"Alex!" Kara initially beamed happily, before clearing her throat and offering in her more 'serious Supergirl' tone, "I mean, Agent Danvers, hi."
For a few long seconds Alex just stared blankly at the superhero, and then she stammered apologetically, "H, hi."
Suddenly very concerned Kara asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Alex dismissed, and then when Supergirl gave her a look she explained, "It's just... have you ever thought there was something you're supposed too... I don't know, remember, but the thought was just out of reach? I don't know, maybe I just left my door unlocked or something. Anyway, the situation seems to be well in hand, so thank you."
Kara just stared at the other woman for a few long seconds, and then quickly babbled, "You're welcome, all in a day's work for Supergirl."
"If you say so." Alex shrugged, and then after a brief pause, asked "Was there anything else?"
"What, no... no, I'll see you later." Kara blathered unconvincingly, before adding without thinking, "Good luck on your date."
