"(Y/n) dear, can you please wipe that sour look off your face and let us all enjoy the dinner." The older woman looked at her as though she was a petulant teenager.
"This isn't food." (Y/n) winced at the measly offering that was on display she looked over at her new step-brother, such a strange thing to have now a sibling, how did she react to him? he didn't look pleased with what he had been given.
"This is all good for you, no saturated fats, no calories."
"No taste."
"(f/n)." Cat sighed at her husband who was trying his best to try and eat the food and enjoy it at the same time.
"What, oh yeah (Y/n) eat what your stepmother has made for you."
"You made this?" She screwed her face up in distaste, cautiously sniffing the plate to see if she had poisoned it.
"Grow up (Y/n) Carter is younger than you and he is being perfectly mature."
"Carter is stuck with this stuff, I'm used to tasting."
"My daughter is a great food genius." Her father said proudly. "She tends to take it for granted that she possesses such a skill and others do not."
Both women frowned at him for very different reasons.
"Are you calling me a food snob?" (Y/n) glared at her father.
"Are you saying I cannot cook?"
(Y/n) laughed. "Boom nice one Dad you just walked into the upset the wife trap." She turned to the young boy sat next to her. "This is a great lesson for you on how not to react when you have a wife one day."
"I don't want a wife." He screwed his face up.
"See this guy talks sense, who the hell wants a wife?" She aimed her sarcastic question at her father and watched him flounder for a reason. "You can't think of one, Jeez Dad you are in so much crap."
"Watch your language around the dinner table."
"Are you kidding me I saw you on TV today you said ass twice."
"Oh, Cat you didn't." Her father groaned.
"She did it was so cool." The boy bounced up and down in his chair, (Y/n) had to stop herself from laughing at his display.
"See she did."
"Is this how all our family dinners will be?" The woman sighed.
"If this is what we will get every time then yes, I could have been on a date right now with this totally hot blonde, OMG you should have seen her killer boo..."
"(Y/n) Carter is present!"
"Sorry." She turned towards him. "I will make you something nice after this to apologize."
Cat watched the woman who had become her step-daughter, she knew she disliked her and Cat wasn't her biggest fan either but what she respected was she hadn't taken that out on her son, she could easily have been filled with hate and disdain but with Carter she was all smiles and funny one-liners, trying to make him feel at home, she was absolutely charming it was no wonder the boy hard warmed to her so quickly.
"Fine leave the damn salad, go and order what you want!"
Everyone including (F/n) leaped happily to their feet.
"You're the best Mom!"
"Yeah, babe." (Y/n) cringed as she watched her father plant a sloppy kiss on the woman's lips.
"Sorry, Mom you don't get a kiss from me." (Y/n) laughed sarcastically as she went to get her cell phone and order the taste filled delight she had been daydreaming about all through the dinner that taste had forgotten.
"Why did you have to have the most annoying daughter in the world?"
Her husband laughed. "Yes she is very annoying but also the best daughter in the world, once she trusts you, you will see what I mean."
"(f/n) dear, I am afraid you are way too hopeful."
"Who couldn't love you?" He smiled.
"I will give you the list."

"I'm not so sure this vacation is a good idea anymore," Alex said as she poured herself a comforting drink. I need to stay here an make sure (Y/n) is okay, find out who this other woman is.
Maggie frowned. "We both agreed to this."
"I know but I'm thinking Kara needs me and.."
"And (Y/n) is here!"
"What no how can you think that I chose you didn't I?"
"Yes."
"So how could I want to see (Y/n) when I have you?"
"You would have to be stupid I'm way cuter."
Alex smiled, she was lying she didn't want to leave (Y/n) she didn't want to go and not be here if anything happened to her or about her, she knew it was wrong she had no right to but she did.
Was she wrong about Maggie? Was she the love of her life right?
The fact she had those questions now scared her, before (Y/n) the answers were very clear it was and always would be Maggie Sawyer, yet here she was with Maggie again, yet her mind was on (Y/n).
"You know what never mind just forget about my idiocy let's go, let's go and away just us."
"That was the plan, Danvers."
Yeah.
"And you know I was thinking about the wedding, maybe we could make it a thing again." The other woman smiled softly.
"Err okay but let's just give it some time first." Alex froze her thoughts jammed on one person again (Y/n) if she married Maggie that was it, it was the absolute end.
She needed to see Kara!

How was it possible that the whole city was hailing her a hero and yet she was still relegated to the torture of being stuck in the morning rush hour traffic.
Yet (Y/n) had the most insane love of this predicament when she was a child she would look around at the people in the other cars and makeup stories of their life, the hitman who was on his way home after assassinating the President sat calmly next to the pink car that carried the coolest dog in the world.
It was stupid but she still did it.
It was inspired by that game that one day she and Lena had made up their own stupidly insane game, they'd walked past the people in the street and realized that from that you only get little snippets of their conversations.
What would happen if you heard something so crazy it ruined your day because you need to know what happened next, why they had done it.
By saying one line you could totally ruin someone's day and it was the hilarious thing ever.
Their best invention she remembered was the infamous line. "Yeah so I didn't kill him but I had the dildo!"
That had been her idea Lena had totally been unable to ever say it, she'd collapsed into fits of laughter every time.
She smiled, every day she thanked the Gods of friendship for giving her Lena Luthor.
The radio kicked into life "The city is wondering when we will see Superwoman again, is it true Supergirl is going to retire?"
"Retire, such stupid people."
"Superwoman where are you and will you consider marrying me?"
"None of your business and no I will not."
The radio was cut out by the sound of her cell phone ringing, she was close now to the D.E.O the traffic finally starting to move.
She looked at the name on the screen and smiled, she'd found her earthquake blonde again and of course, they'd exchanged numbers.
She is calling me that has to be a good sign.
"Hi, you."
"Hey (Y/n) I just wanted to confirm you were still up for our date."
"Of course, I wish I could have cancelled my plans last night but it was a family thing."
"I know all about family things any way we still had some fun later." Her voice was flirtatious (Y/n) smiled.
"I never did have so much fun just on the phone before."
"I was wondering if you are that good just by voice you must be magic in the flesh."
"You have no idea."
"Now you are intriguing me."
"Good that works well for me."
(Y/n) stepped out of her car and rushed through the entrance of the D.E.O.
"Does that mean you put out on the first date?"
"Only on special occasions."
Alex frowned as she watched her walk in the cell in her hand and a bright smile on her face, occasionally turning to flirtatious, biting her bottom lip and flinging her head back to laugh loudly.
That must be the woman.
"Okay see you tonight I can't wait."
"Date?" She said harshly her hands perched on her hips as her face was hard stone.
"Yep."
"Got over the heartache pretty quickly, everyone has been trying to make me feel bad."
(Y/n) laughed. "You know what they say, Alex, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else."
"(Y/n) hey, I stayed up all night and I have your finished suit!" Winn jumped in happily, more like an excited child.
"Oh yeah show me."
"Okay so Kara has the glasses thing and I realized you don't have a alter ego disguise so your suit would have to have some kind of mask to protect your identity, go in there and try that suit on." He turned to everyone assembled around. "Guys this is going to be my greatest work!"
"I still think this is a bad idea." Alex groaned.
"You are a real stick in the mud these days Alex be happy for a nerd who is about to show you the superhero suit of a generation!"
Finally (Y/n) stepped out the suit on her hands covered her face so she couldn't see everyone's reaction.
"So how is it?" She ventured cautiously.
"Wow," Alex whispered taking in the figure that showed off her muscular thighs perfectly.
"I think a lot of teenagers will be having wet dreams about you." someone shouted.
"Thanks whoever said that." You know how to make a girl feel special.
Winn had taken what she had said about no skirt to heart, he had followed a guide more Superman's suit than Supergirl, sticking with the dark blue base the body was slim fitting and snug separated by red slim shorts, or pants maybe, while her cape was the same crimson red as were the knee length boots. Of course, the infamous S was displayed proudly on her chest.
"Who knew (Y/n) had a six pack." Someone whispered.
Alex frowned. I knew.
The top half of her face was obscured by a dark blue bandana styled material leaving just her mouth and chin visible to the eyes.
"So what do you think?" Winn smiled standing in front of her.
A chorus of approvals rang around, he turned to her a wide smile on his face.
"See."
"You are such a nerd."
"You say that like it's a bad thing.."
Her eyes searched through the people watching and found Alex, she hadn't wanted to see her reaction she wanted to pretend she didn't care, it was a useless thought because she did. She was frowning.
I'll never be good enough for you!
The thought took away the happiness he had felt, hopeful her date with Sara would help she turned away and instead focused on the positive.
I am Superwoman now!
