It had been two days since her terror at the restaurant, she'd already ordered a new computer much to Cat's annoyance (Y/n)'s story of a ghost attack hadn't gone down well, in fact after falling to the ground laughing she'd been pretty pissed off.
(Y/n) had been in the same state of anger ever since, if she was Catholic she'd bring in a priest and excise that ghost, that would teach it a lesson not to be a douche.
(Y/n) passed the purple wrapper covered candy to Kara she hated blackberry, for herself she claimed her favorite strawberry, unwrapping and placing the chewy delight into her mouth.
"I still can't believe you flew all the way to the UK for candy." Kara smiled.
" I hate American candy it's too sweet, being able to fly I can get anything I want, I stopped off in Switzerland for a few bars of chocolate, I flipped a coin between Switzerland and Belgium. "
"Even I've never thought of doing this." Kara cheered reaching into the bag and claiming another.
" I'm pretty sure there will be a piece about Superwoman in the news going into a London corner store. "
"Oh, no way."
" Hey, guys wanna hear the new theory? " Sara asked almost skipping into the room with them, a magazine opened out in her hands.
"What is it?" Kara smiled.
" The new theory is that Superwoman and Supergirl are actually married. "
Both Kara and (Y/n) turned to each other mortification reflected in the depths of their eyes, before turning an outraged glare at the blonde woman, (Y/n) snatched the magazine to see the article titled Mrs & Mrs. Super.
"I see they are going with an original headline." She huffed. " Listen to this not much is known of the Super duos private life but you could be excused for believing the two are romantically linked, maybe even married. " The chef looked to her cousin feeling her stomach flip with disgust at the very notion.
"Ew, this is so gross." Kara voiced.
"Could it be true that National Cities very own Supers are married and in love? an insider says yes." She lifted her eyes up again. " Who the hell is the insider? "
"They always use that line, so that it doesn't sound like they are just spreading gossip." Sara shrugged taking back the magazine.
" Still what the hell please tell me on Krypton cousins don't marry Kara because I'm about to be sick here. "
"I've never heard of it." She reassured her.
(Y/n) took in a deep sigh of relief. "Where is Alex don't tell me she is at home because I know different." She
" I saw her in her lab with Maggie. " Sara let slip too quickly before she could stop herself, "I mean that she was in her lab with someone." One look at (Y/n)'s face told her she was angry she slipped away quietly so she couldn't face the wrath of her anger, in her Superwoman suit she looked even more terrifying. "I'm err just going to see if Sam has arrived yet." Her crush on Sam Arias was still in the air.
"Now don't overreact," Kara warned.
" I don't trust that woman. " (Y/n) spat out.
"I know but trust Alex ."
"I'm still going there."
" Can I have the rest of your candy? " Kara called after her, (Y/n) never turned around.
"Yes."
Kara soon dived into the bag telling herself she needed to go with (Y/n) next time so they could bring back more stuff.
(Y/n) marched her way to Alex's lab she was not happy a number of agents quickly moved out of her way when they saw the look on her face, she knew she was doing exactly what she had told Alex not to do but she didn't trust the woman at all, Maggie Sawyer had done nothing to install any trust in her often she'd wondered if things would have been as bad as they were when she came out about her powers if Maggie hadn't been there stirring the pot.
She stood outside taking a deep breath before turning to the door and using her x-ray vision took a look at what was happening inside.
Maggie Stood too close to Alex her hand trailing down her face as her eyes locked with the other woman's, (Y/n) ground her teeth in anger and felt her blood boil.
"When you woke you wanted me, then she appeared and it was her, admit it Alex you are afraid of hurting her so you are denying us."
Alex sighed and pulled her hand away from her face. "I am afraid of hurting her that it's not because of what you think, it's because I've hurt her once and I never want to see the woman I love broken again."
" Oh please, what is to love about her? " Maggie scoffed.
Alex moved further away, a slight smile on her face. "There is everything to love about her she is sweet and kind, intelligent, loving."
" You literally just described a dog. "
(Y/n) frowned and scrunched up her face offended by her attitude. At least I'm not a super bitch trying to steal someone else's girlfriend!
"More importantly my girlfriend wouldn't be here doing this, she wouldn't be trying to ruin someone else's relationship just so that she could be selfish and destroy something that is actually beautiful" Alex shot angrily, (Y/n) felt a smile tug at the corners of her mouth happy that Alex was standing up for her.
"Oh yeah, of course, she didn't try to get you back when we were together."
" Actually she never did. " Alex replied smugly.
"Oh yes, of course, she ended up with the delightful Sara, she is beautiful isn't she I would imagine she is more (Y/n)'s type than you are Alex."
Alex frowned she didn't need someone else repeating her own fears, (Y/n) had heard enough she opened the door with a bright smile, both women turning to see her, Alex looking like a deer in headlights.
"(Y/n)!"
"Haven't you got somewhere better to be?" She turned her scathing eyes on her former rival.
" It seems I have. " With another disparaging look at the woman she left slamming the door behind her.
"You saw that didn't you?" Alex sighed, she didn't want to go backward with (Y/n) like she feared was about to happen when she nodded Alex let out an internal groan.
"She talks a lot of crap doesn't she?" (Y/n) shrugged imagining having to spend any prolonged amount of time with her.
"What!"
"Sara is more my type, firstly she doesn't know my type and secondly I already found my perfect type she's a sweet badass with a killer bike and a smile that warms my soul."
"You're not mad? "
"Why would I be you just knocked her back and stuck up for me, there's only ever been one person in my life who did that, and they weren't anyone I'd dated." She looked at her with a soft expression, dreamlike almost as though Alex had just become her hero.
"So to clarify you are not mad and we are still good," Alex asked hopefully.
" Yep. " She smiled widely the ghost of Maggie Sawyer hadn't been vanquished but it was slowly diminishing its hold on her.

"(Y/n) cut the crap ghosts do not exist." Cat sighed as she made her way down the hallway, the younger woman trailing slowly behind her. "I had hoped you would have grown out of these immature pranks."
" It was not a prank. " She protested for the millionth time.
"Of course it is (Y/n) how you expect me to believe this I have no idea."
"It happen Cat I saw the computer fly off the desk with a force I might add just after there was this loud evil hiss."
Cat stopped in her tracks almost making (Y/n) collide with her spinning on her heels she pinned the younger woman with an unimpressed look. "A loud evil hiss, (Y/n) this is real life not Supernatural."
" I'm just going to get over the fact you watch supernatural I had you pegged more for The Exorcist or The Omen maybe even The Wicker Man, that film freaks me the hell out! " She shivered dramatically.
Cat rolled her eyes. "It's tame, look around you is there any ghost now?" She stretched her arms out wide to emphasize her words.
" Of course not they don't just show up on cue. "
"Very convenient for you."
"Yeah sure I was traumatized but I was lucky I could trash my computer for no reason at all." She rolled her eyes getting more frustrated by the minute.
"I will say this again (Y/n) as I clearly need to teach you an adult this news, ghosts do not exist, they are just childish stories."
"Childish stories told by every culture for as long as there have been written documents, yeah really childish stories Cat!"
"I need to get your father to talk to you about spreading untrue stories."
"Don't bother the Irish genes run too deep in that man he's all ghost storied out." (Y/n) muttered the same stories she'd heard from his mother she had told him, not to mention his father his being from a strong Irish family the myths of the undead filled Gaelic chronicles, he'd told her once that what the eye doesn't see doesn't mean it isn't there, we can't see oxygen but it's there.
"My husband does not believe in fairy tales."
"Yeah sure okay, it's probably one of my ancestors really pissed he married the wicked witch of the west."
The air around them suddenly dropped, if Cat noticed she didn't give any indication but (Y/n) certainly did he eyed around her cautiously waiting for the inevitable appearance.
"Will you look at me when I am talking to you." Cat ranted her hands perched stubbornly on her hips, as the cold air around them grew thicker (Y/n)'s heart picked up suddenly she wasn't feeling like throwing back any of her usual sas at her stepmother.
A low howl of wind whistled through the hallway, a hallway that lacked any windows or gaps for wind the enter its walls, soon footsteps began pounding up the hallway towards them, the wind and whistling combining to create the most frightening back soundtrack she had ever heard, her eyes grew wide as she looked past the older woman to the bend in the hallway, waiting for the inevitable to strike.
She swallowed hard. "C..C..Cattt." She stammered.
"What is it now."
"Ll..oo..kk." Cat turned around to look at where (Y/n) pointed, the rush of freezing cold air hit her face the howl of wind and the aching echo of loud haunting footsteps that were getting closer, she tried to bring logical thought forward but the lump in her throat and the bounding of her heart was getting the better of her.
"(Y/n) don't be foolish it's just...." A hate-filled hiss erupted from the far end of the hallway and seemed to race up the hallway its feet banging loudly on the wooden floor, Cat's eyes grew wide with fear as she moved backward. "(Y/n)." She turned around expecting to see the woman instead she saw the back of her shoe as she ran from the scene.
"Come back here, you big girl!" She called after her, realizing that she took should be taking some advice from (Y/n) and with her high heeled shoes ran as fast as she could.

It had been a long time since all four of them had gone out for a drink together, the last time had been the night where Alex was convinced Lena and (Y/n) were in love a lot had happened since then she had to roll her eyes now looking back, she'd been so stupid and acted even stupider since.
Kara and Lena were busy laughing so much, hunched over the table tears in their eyes as (Y/n) described the scene with Cat and the ghost conveniently leaving out her own cowardly flight, she was a superhero she had to keep up appearances, that was what she told herself anyway.
"She lost her shoes she wouldn't go back to get them they are still in the middle of the hallway!" (Y/n) laughed hard, it felt better knowing that the ghost could scare someone as fearsome as Cat Grant, and she was enjoying it a lot. "It's been a while I bet since she was able to put so much animation in her face but she was showing that terror expertly."
"Wow okay is this insider information that Cat Grant does get botox." Lena stopped suddenly her face braced with excitement.
"You cannot publish that." (Y/n) winked.
"The thing I want to know is what were you doing while Cat was running?" Alex suddenly asked, (Y/n) glared at her. What the hell Alex, you just talked your way out of sex for the next few months.
"I was standing my ground of course."
Alex leaned closer looking carefully into her eyes trying to gauge whether she was lying, Lena and Kara sat watching a half smirk on their faces waiting for the outcome. "She's lying." She chuckled. "You ran like a big baby too didn't you?"
"How dare you I did not!"
"This is as crazy as the headline today." Lena laughed again her white teeth on full display.
"What headline?" Alex asked Kara and (Y/n) groaned loudly.
"Can we not talk about this crap."
"Yes, it's utter rubbish." (Y/n) agreed with her cousin.
"They think Supergirl and Superwoman are married," Lena answered ignoring their two glares.
"What," Alex said stunned, her face serious until she burst out laughing sending the mouthful of drink she'd just drank flowing outwards hitting Kara in the face. "I'm sorry."
"I need to bring my swimsuit next time."
