"I've told you this before (Y/n)." Lena sighed looking down at her watch. "Always go with the red."
(Y/n) popped her head around the door. "But are you sure?"
"Yes, (Y/n) come on they will be waiting for us at the restaurant, everyone will think they are dating and we are the couple so move it, even I'm starting to wonder." She rolled her eyes.
"Bruce Wayne can't have Alex!" (Y/n) muffled voice came through the door.
"Just move it, because she falls in love with a waitress and elopes."
(Y/n) pulled the door open suddenly a scowl on her face. "Don't say that!"
Lena laughed her green eyes tearing up at the childish pout that had appeared on her face. "Hurry up then."
"You really aren't helping me." (Y/n) groaned as she stepped out of her room, running her hands down the sides of the snug dress to make sure she'd ironed out all the wrinkles. "So do I look okay?" She asked nervously.
Lena stood back and ran her eyes from her head to her toes, her slender frame held up with shaky knees, her ruby red plump lips nervously moved from side to side as she awaited her verdict.
"You look beautiful as always (Y/n), what about me?" She asked she'd gone for the infamous little black dress.
"You look like a goddess." The chef smiled.
Lena blushed. "Come on you before Alex thinks I'm trying to steal you away."
"She still doesn't know about us." (Y/n) said sadly.
Lena nodded knowingly. "And you want to tell her?"
"This is your secret Lena, I can't tell it is you don't want me to." Aside from Kara but it just slipped out.
"Let me think about it okay."
"Okay."
"No lets really get going."

(Y/n) and Lena had rushed through the traffic with a cab driver with rather more courage than the ability to drive, their life had literally hung in the balance as they hung on to the sides of the car for dear life.
It was a miracle they made it alive, (Y/n) mused as she pulled herself from the cab and held her hand out to help Lena recover too.
"Thank man, I'll come to you next time I have a heavy meal and I feel like throwing up to get rid of the groggy feeling." (Y/n) complained trying to put her hair back to its once perfect position, as Lena leaned on her shoulder her hair in a similar state of disarray.
"Come on (Y/n) let's get in there." She breathed heavily.
Having left the scene of the incredibly disastrous cab journey they made their way into the restaurant, finding only Bruce sitting at the table alone.
"Don't freak out (Y/n) there is a perfectly reasonable explanation," Lena whispered as she smiled at Bruce, the large man standing to embrace her, (Y/n) had to hold in her jealousy at the scene, Alex was nowhere to be seen.
"So Bruce is anyone with you?" (Y/n) asked expectantly.
"No just me." He replied.
Damn.
It was at that moment that the phone rang she looked down at the screen and saw her name flashing across the screen, an ominous feeling settled inside her.
"Hi, Alex."
"(Y/n) I'm so sorry we had to go out of town to do some investigating and we are late." Her voice said sadly.
"Long story short Alex you aren't coming." She huffed, as Lena and Bruce looked at her, Lena's eyes wide with understanding.
"I'm so sorry (Y/n) I.."
Too angry to listen to the rest of her excuse she ended the call and turned off her phone, pursing her lips to hold the anger that with spilling from her in waves.
She turned to face two expectant faces. "Well it looks like I'm the third wheel tonight, and as I really don't want to be I will get going."
"(Y/n) please, you are never a third wheel please stay." Lena pleaded.
"You are sweet but it's really okay, you have fun." She smiled, walking away from the table as slight tears appeared in her eyes, she had thought Lena was right giving Alex this last test, it would be a wonderful way to clear away the jealous envy she felt with Maggie Sawyer, and then this happens.
"Is she okay?" Bruce asked silently, he couldn't deny he was happy getting Lena all to himself but the sight of the other woman's sadness made him feel very guilty and selfish.
"She'll be fine, she thinks she is going home to cry, as soon as she leaves this restaurant she'll change her mind," Lena said knowingly.

(Y/n) had stood outside the restaurant her tears dried up by the force of the wind that had built up during the short time she had been inside.
She could wait around brooding waiting for Alex and build up all kinds of stories in her head about what she was doing, or she could strap on her suit and become Superwoman find something worthwhile doing.
In moments she was up in the air looking down at her city waiting for a moment to strike, in a side alley she saw it, a black figure fighting alone against a group, there was no mistaking the light blonde hair that was attached to the figure.
Sara.
Swooping down she landed just behind her, her eyes glaring with a focused determination on the gang of six all ganging up against the one Canary, she was fighting with ease but still injustice built up in the superhero, added to being super pissed about Alex, she swooped into the fray with a big steely punch that sent its victim crashing into the wall.
Sara took a moment to smile. "Glad you could join me."
"You know me I never miss a party."
"Always fashionably late to I like it."
When their talk was not enough to hold back the curious faces in front of them, the gang shot forward as one, knives in hand baring it menacingly at the two women.
"Watch this trick I discovered." She said excitedly to the blonde woman, before facing the advancing men, a wicked gleam in her (e/c) eyes, taking a huge deep breath and blew out a force of freezing cold air that stopped them all in their tracks, shivering in pain and discomfort their pale faces have turned a deep shade of blue.
"Look, Sara, this is what happened to the blue man group, remember them?"
Sara laughed stepping forward with Superwoman to cut them down, falling to the ground with a pained heavy moan, huddled together in fright.
Sara smiled. "I guess they are just too cold."

The two women had made their way back to the DEO congratulating each other on their vast success, achieved through teamwork, it was the first time (Y/n) realised that having Sara Lance as a friend was vastly more wonderful than having her as a lover, well now that she had Alex if she didn't have Alex or she'd never met her then maybe she would think differently, but Alex was Alex and for (Y/n) she would always possess her heart.
"You were excellent." Sara gleamed her smile large on her face.
"Well, I just did something Supergirl does all the time."
"But you are Superwoman, not Supergirl, you are vastly cooler."
(Y/n) blushed. "Well, I do have a cooler more mature name."
"Way cooler."
They were so distracted by their self-congratulations that no one noticed Alex storm hurridly through the door, a look of concern on her face as she reached them.
"What are you doing here?" She asked her eyes moving between the two.
"Alex what the hell, I didn't want to be the third wheel so I excused myself." She shrugged.
"I went to the restaurant (Y/n) there was no one there."
(Y/n) smirked turning to Sara. "I don't imagine they stayed around for very long."
Alex frowned. "If you hadn't have hung up on me I would have told you we were going as fast as we could and I would be there soon."
"I assumed you were stuck in traffic." She shrugged.
"I can see that." Alex grated her teeth angrily.
"Oh calm down Alex, Superwoman and I just had some fun beating up some bad guys." Sara rolled her eyes, she was tired of Alex's accusing eyes on her.
Alex turned back to her girlfriend looking for confirmation, she just nodded. "I froze them a little." She gleamed brightly.
"I'll go and see if Winn has anything on the hologram issue," Sara said excusing herself so the two women could be on their own, it had really sucked losing (Y/n) but maybe that was for the best, she was happy with Alex, she didn't want to ruin that, she wasn't that selfish.
"So you made it back." (Y/n) said softly.
"Yep."
"You wanna get a pizza or something?" She asked hopefully.
"You want to share it with Kara?"
"I'll order five pizzas." (Y/n) nodded knowing if they had one there would be nothing left and she was starving right now.

(Y/n) had found when no one was watching super speed was super helpful when you needed to do really boring mundane tasks like peeling potatoes or chopping onions, she looked at her bucket of onions now with a smug triumphant gaze.
The Onion battle is forever won by me, no more tears either.
The door creaked open behind her, she slowed her pace.
Se smelled his overpowering cologne before she turned around and saw him.
"(Y/n) can we talk?"
"No."
"(Y/n) please, you left so quickly that you never gave me a chance to explain." He pleaded his dark brown eyes void of anything convincing.
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry I thought finding you buried to the hilt in another woman was your way of saying we were over."
"You listened to that friend of yours, this woman she hates me."
"You seriously don't even remember her name, I talked about her constantly, she visited me all the time, and yet you still don't remember her name, get lost Alessandro you are just a massive joke." She turned around to continue her progress with the onions.
He growled. "You always thought you were better than me!"
"Yeah sure go with that one, bye."
"I come here I give you my heart and you reject me."
"I don't want your damn heart, I don't need anything from you ever again Alessandro."
He glared at her, his eyes becoming as dark as night. "You will regret that."
(Y/n) laughed loudly mocking his weak threat. "Will I really, I doubt it, run along now I'm sure you have someone else to annoy I have a very successful restaurant to prepare for tonight."
"You always thought you were better than me some kind of hero with your greatness and arrogance." He tried to pull her around to face him, but his hand couldn't move her she was like a stone statue glued to the ground.
She looked down at his hand still touching her, a grimace on her face.
"I am and always was better than you, your problem is you are jealous of anyone who can dice a carrot better than you, which is everyone by the way, instead of focusing on yourself and trying to grow you look around and sent hate to everywhere else, do you remember when you tried to get me to do your work and you would take the credit?"
He scowled.
"I remember Alessandro but I am no fool and I never was, I used to think you were just immature, that in time you would grow up and become responsible, but you never have and still now you blame everyone else for your failings." She glared at him, her (e/c) colored eyes challenging him to dare disagree with her. "Now, take your hand off me or I will remove it and I promise you it will hurt if I do it."
He watched her silently working out whether she was serious or not, in the end, he removed it himself, the fire in her eyes was alarming for him.
"And now you have a girlfriend." He mocked.
(Y/n) ignored him.
"A woman, damn every time you were with me it was all you ever wanted."
(Y/n) sighed exasperatedly by his constant droning. "Actually no, I never knew she existed but when I found her I knew she was the only person I would ever want and need."
"It can't be easy for her girlfriend to want men too." He smirked.
"Again you misunderstand what I am, and you measure everyone by your own standards, do you remember a week before I found you cheating on me I came out to you and told you I was Bisexual? Do you remember your words to me?"
He shrugged uncaringly.
"I remember them you asked if that meant we could have a threesome with the Lesbian who lived downstairs."
"It was a joke." He explained trying to clear himself.
"No it wasn't, and it wasn't a good thing to say especially to someone who is stereotyped in the first place because of their sexuality everywhere I go they think I am easy or promiscuous or I cheat because I am bisexual, and there you were assuming the same thing."
"I just wanted some fun." He shrugged.
"Your idea of what is fun is my hell now piss off!"
Alessandro scowled hating that she had dismissed him so rudely, she was supposed to have fallen at his feet and begged him to take her back, why hadn't she done that?
He looked around, pulling the box out from his bag that the hot woman had given him and with a smirk hide it under the table, she had said that this would help him get her back, he pushed the lid off and smiled too brightly, much too arrogant to wonder how the woman even knew who he was or what he wanted. "Okay see you around (Y/n)." Sooner than you think.
(Y/n) frowned and watched him leave.
