Suddenly everything made sense in a very messed up way.
Kara had stepped into a doorway to hide when she had heard Lena approach hoping to get a glimpse of what they would talk about.
She'd heard everything but still didn't understand what it was about, she tried not to focus on the Lena had a crush on Supergirl bit, although that was hard.
What was this about (Y/n) and family?
She needed to know, maybe just maybe Alex had been right and (Y/n) and Lena wasn't having an affair.
Staying out of sight Kara followed them ducking behind walls and into alleyways when the two women turned around if they saw her she would be in big trouble.
All the way they talked their heads close together as though they were inseparable, Kara felt a familiar stab of jealousy course through her at the sight.
Why does she get Alex and Lena it's not fair?
It was today she truly felt blessed with having super hearing.
"(Y/n) it's easy just ask her for advice at least you have someone to ask my Mom's a criminal for goodness sake."
" I'm not asking her Lena so forget it. "
"Seriously you are far too stubborn."
" I'm not doing it, Lena, "
"Are you the same woman who was singing her praises the day after Valentines, oh she came to pick me up I can't believe she was so nice to go out of her way like that."
" You need to work on your impersonation of me. "
"You need to work on pulling your head from up your butt."
" You want me to ask so I can put in a good word for you. "
"That is stupid I know her better than you."
" Yeah sure but family is family Lena, an endorsement from kin can go a long way. "
"You weren't interested a minute ago now you want to get me laid, are you forgetting I have a boyfriend?"
" Oh God do not remind me of that nightmare, I do everything I can to forget. "
"What would you say if I said that about Alex."
" No one can say that about Alex she is perfect in every way. "
"Oh my gosh you are so happy and loved up I'm gonna throw up!"
"Exactly Len why aren't you this happy with James?"
" Don't be naïve (Y/n) not everyone is like you. "
"You gotta be happy with who you're with Lena, even when they drive you crazy else what is the point in being with them at all?"
Kara followed keeping a safe distance from them she was sure they had no idea she was following them and had been since they left the apartment.
She was hoping they would get back to the Supergirl subject.
"I've been in relationships before and I've never been this happy, Alex, Alex she is just so amazing, and it's not even about sex although she is spectacular."
Kara cringed she did not want to hear about her sister and any kind of bedroom activity.
"Please (Y/n) far too graphic and way too early to hear this."
" I'm simply explaining that it's not just about sex, I love just being with her, I told you about when she decided to cook right? "
"Yes, she burned it."
" But Lena do you know how many people have done something like that for me, no one has ever cooked for me. "
"They probably think you would be really critical because you are a chef."
" That is a lousy excuse. "
"Hey, I cooked for you!"
" You got take out and said you cooked Lena, that is not the same thing. "
"You knew about that?"
" Yes of course I did, Lena I worked at the restaurant you ordered from. "
"Ahh well, there was that."
"Stop reminiscing and just say what you're hiding!" Kara whispered as she dashed through the crowd they had walked into, finding it hard to see over the sea of people attacking her.
"Are you going to see Kharys again?"
" Hopefully not, I don't care if she is my mother see how she likes being abandoned. "
Kara stopped still, people bumped into her at her abrupt stop.
"I'm sorry." She said red-faced.
" Watch where you're going! "
"I know I'm very sorry."
" Kharys. "
It had been so long since she had heard that name spoken, but it couldn't be the same Kharys as who she had played with as a child, her cousin Kharys, she'd left her back on Krypton.
How common was that name?
"Metropolis, she was born in Metropolis, oh Rao I need to call Clark!"

"You aren't wearing the necklace today," Lena whispered as they sat down.
" Thought I'd try a day without it. "
"Just stay away from anything that can break okay."
(Y/n) rolled her eyes as she picked up the menu.
"You act like you have no idea what you are going to get when we all know you know exactly what you will order," Lena said smugly.
" Why are you my best friend again? "
"Because no one else would have you."
(Y/n) contemplated how right her words were but she and Lena Luthor had always shared a special bond, she had begun to wonder whether it was because of their mothers, where they connected through this, something they didn't know but spiritually could feel.
"Err (Y/n) don't be angry," Lena said awkwardly as she looked out of the window.
" I promise nothing, what is it? "
"Alex is coming this way and she is not alone."
(Y/n) spun around in her chair to get a good view of what her friend was talking about.
There was Alex walking up the sidewalk smiling talking happily with Maggie Sawyer, instant jealousy curdled inside her it tasted as acidic as bile.
"What the fuck!"
" Don't overreact. " Lena tried to calm her.
"Overreact look where she has her hand."
" It's on her arm (Y/n) be thankful it's nowhere else. " Lena blushed slightly.
The chef rose from her chair aggressively and walked out of the coffee shop Lena trailing after her in hot pursuit.
A car screeched around the corner in her madness (Y/n) saw the window wind down and saw a gun pear through, pure instinct made her act, she turned around to face her friend covering her from attack, she felt something hit her just as the car fled away down the street and out of sight.
Lena looked up at her friend with wide worried eyes. "(Y/n)!"
" I didn't wear the necklace. " She whispered.
"Thank Goodness."
"(Y/n)."
The chef swallowed hard, turning around to face Alex, Kara, and Maggie, ignoring the anger she felt at the other woman being there she saw two other sets of eyes on her each with different questions.
Shit!
"You got shot!"
"Err no I didn't it must have just looked that way." (Y/n) tried to shrug off their accusations as though they were mistaken, why hadn't she listened to Lena?
"Yes of course, (Y/n) shot, if that were the case then she would be in pain, there would be blood." Lena anxiously fumbled for excuses.
"Oh, there is a reason alright." Kara narrowed her eyes at her.
"Errr.......Lena say something."
"Err....Potstickers for everyone."
(Y/n) turned abruptly to her friend eyes wide in outrage. "That is it, that is what you say."
"You want to get Kara on side, give her potstickers."
"You know in Britain they don't call them potstickers."
"Shut up and quit making me hungry." Kara glared.
"(Y/n) what the hell is going on?" Alex finally asked.
"Alex please I can explain."
