Three days (Y/n) had found herself as the reluctant on the surface happy resident in her father's home, and after three days she was starting to very quickly lose her mind.
With her father working a lot, she'd heard him on the phone to Maggie Sawyer on more than one occasion, he was trying to get some clues on his brother's death, he'd never find it aliens were one thing to believe in but Banshees, they were scary stories Irish parents told their children.
They weren't real.
Her time with Alex had been non-existent even calls were short and random, she was missing her far too much, when she found this Banshee, or when it found her she was going to make it pay so badly.
More and more she felt she was taking on the role of teenager she and Cat clashed over everything while her father played peacemaker and Carter could see no wrong in his cool older 'sister', as if to make this feeling more obvious tonight she was babysitting while Cat and her father was out on their rare date night.
And as like every teenage girl as soon as they'd left (Y/n) had dived for the couch and picked up her phone making sure to get her girlfriend over.
She was waiting for her now, and she was getting impatient it had been over half an hour since she called.
She turned her attention to the tv screen again taking a small annoyed mouthful from her glass of wine, she'd promised to wait until Alex arrived but she was late.
Resigning herself to another lonely Alexless night she picked up the tv remote and flicked through the tv channels hoping to stumble upon something good.
Maybe she had a Kara crisis again.
If that was the case she couldn't be angry with her, one of the reasons she loved Alex so much was because of how much she cared and looked out for her sister, to try to change that would be changing all the wonderful parts of her.
A knock at the door caught her attention leaping from the couch and in record speed arriving at the door, the sight of Alex standing at the other side her hands perched in the back pockets of her tight black jeans was far too alluring, (Y/n) all but jumped at her sending Alex staggering backward the excited woman caught in her arms at the last minute as their lips connected as hapzadly and chaotic as their greeting had been, yet neither seemed to care as teeth knocked awkwardly, soon Alex found her balance leaning against the wall behind her putting all her effort and concentration in righting their kiss.
The sides of her face caught firmly between (Y/n)'s hands Alex smiled into the kiss, the feel of her tongue enter her mouth and brush against her own inflamed her senses, pulling her closer she could feel all of (Y/n)'s hard body pushed against her own.
"I thought you weren't coming." ( Y/n) smiled when they finally broke their kiss.
"And this is my welcome when you miss me?"
"Maybe."
" Hmm, maybe I should stay away more often. " Alex teased.
(Y/n) gasped with outrage at the very idea. "Don't you dare!"
"Traffic is bad tonight I swear it would have been quicker to run here." Alex sighed unhappily.
Breaking away to grab her hand (Y/n) pulled Alex into the apartment a big smile on her face as she lead the way almost throwing Alex on the sofa as she did.
"Wow." Alex bounced back on the soft plush sofa as she landed more forcefully than ( Y/n) had intended.
"I'm sorry." The rich gleam in her (e/c) eyes held no evidence of her regret, Alex swallowed hard at the sight of her sexy seductive smirk as she crawled on top of her.
"You don't look very sorry."
" I'm not I'm just going to give you something you will like better than an apology. "
"Should we really be doing this here? I mean what if your Dad comes home." Alex's eyes traveled to the door expecting her big brash father to enter and throw her out the window, angry for having tainted his daughter.
(Y/n) chuckled as she ran her hand inside her open shirt shed been busy opening the buttons as she spoke, enjoying the warmth that met her. "Don't worry I'll make you forget him just think of it as another first, I never made out with anyone on my couch while babysitting did you?"
" Oh, God. " Alex gasped as the chef's soft hands glided over and massaged her firm breasts. "No."
(Y/n) smiled happily at that small little revelation. "Good, I like our firsts, we are adding more to our list every day."
"(Y/n) wait...Oh...." Her protest died on her lips as hands were replaced by an eager all pleasuring hot mouth, her tongue twirled around her engorged nipple, then sank down softly biting, Alex gave out a sharp hiss the mix of pleasure and pain was confusing but not in a bad way.
"What is it?"
" I want to oh fuck you have no idea how much but I just think we shouldn't. "
"What why we are consenting adults who are dating each other what is wrong with that?"
" It's your father's apartment. "
(Y/n) got off Alex shaking her hands through her long hair to tame the waves that Alex had disrupted showing her appreciation for her breastwork.
"You will drive me crazy Al." The chef sighed sitting down next to her suddenly feeling like a teenage boy whose girlfriend wouldn't put out.
" I'm sorry. " Alex blushed as she redid her shirt and rearranged her hair she didn't want (Y/n) to be angry with her.
(Y/n) leaned her head against Alex's shoulder. "Don't worry just work your magic and find something good for us to watch."
Alex chuckled settling into the warm comforting embrace ( Y/n) offered lifting the remote in her hand and beginning her journey to find something cool.
"Oh look what is on." She smiled coming to the show she knew (Y/n) hated finding it amusing to see the scowl from the corner of her eye.
"What is it with you and Wynonna Earp are you in love with her or something?" ( Y/n) pouted.
Alex rolled her eyes. "You are being a dork."
" I think you should tell me right now if I have competition cause Alex I would so be able to take her in a fight. " (Y/n) growled angrily.
"Are you being serious right now she is an actress on tv how the hell am I ever going to meet her." Alex reasoned hoping that this would make her girlfriend see sense, instead ( Y/n) gasped loudly.
"OMG So if you met her you would leave me for her!"
" I don't know what is happening right now. " Alex sighed seeking to find peace and sanity by burying her head in her hands.
"You are telling me you are attracted to another woman."
" I never said that you did! "
"You never disagreed."
" I'm beginning to wish I was still stuck in traffic. " Alex sighed as she turned the channel over to avoid any more stupid conversation.
Choosing a random tv channel she had no idea what it was just some guy cooking in a boat Alex figured that (Y/n) would like it, her mind began turning through the cloud of uncertainty that was building up in her brain until she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"What if you decide to leave me for a guy." Alex suddenly spoke.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me what if you decide to leave me for a guy."
(Y/n) fought the urge to laugh. "Alex that won't happen."
"How can you be so sure you are bisexual."
"Alex I am certain because I know my own feelings, it's true I can't guarantee what will happen in the future but neither can you, what I can tell you is this I have dated guys and girls in my life and no one ever came anywhere close to you, so you are very safe from me running away with a guy."
"Even Sara?" Alex whispered.
(Y/n) took a very deep breath and turned to face her lover. "Alex I'm going to tell you something you will hate but stick with it until the end."
"Okay. "Alex voiced cautiously.
"When I was with Sara I mean when we were having sex." (Y/n) ignored the storm that had suddenly taken over Alex's face, the brown of her eyes darkened so much they were now black. "It was fun I won't lie to you but I knew there was something missing, this spark of electricity that makes you special for me, I never knew it until you came along and then when you were gone I saw it every day, so Alex in answer to your question especially Sara Lance what everyone lacks is simple."
"Oh yeah and what is that?" Alex pouted.
"They aren't you."
"You just saved yourself." Alex smiled melting at the woman's simple yet heartfelt description even if she had added the graphic details with Sara, maybe she deserved it as a punishment for being such a stupid idiot in the first place. "So I am better in bed than Sara Lance that is always good to know."
"You should know haven't you already been there." (Y/n) flew back childishly.
"I imagine not all Sara Lances are the same you know."
"Well don't have a go at me when you couldn't resist those blue eyes either, I imagine they are the same on every earth."
(Y/n) suddenly turned her head to catch a sound in the distance, a blood-curdling scream that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
"What is it?" Alex asked concerned, taking her arm between her hands and trying to offer comfort.
"I don't know but it doesn't sound good, I gotta go."
"I'll come with you."
"No, I need you to stay here with Carter."
Eager to stay with (Y/n) the need to protect her was too strong in her but she knew (Y/n) was right, if Cat came home and no one was here she would go crazy and probably rightly so, so she watched through concerned eyes and (Y/n) left ripping open her shirt to reveal her Superwoman suit.

The door hung swinging from its hinges the smell of death and blood clogged (Y/n)'s senses as she stood on the step, the scream had long since stopped but the chill still hung in the air, in moments she was through the door, her boots making loud noises that echoed through the large building, the National City public library had been closed to the public for a week ever since it closed for maintenance.
No one should be in here.
She clenched and unclenched her hands as she moved deeper into the building, no one ever told you a library closed and abandoned filled with bookshelves was a haunting thing to be in, but it was a shiver went down her spine as she heard the soft sinister echo of books being thrown to the ground, she followed the sound until she saw her.
A lone figure standing impatiently at a shelf throwing books over her head and at her side when she looked at the cover and saw it was not what she had wanted.
Another shiver cast through her as she tried to steel herself, tried to put on the mask she needed to act unaffected by such a repulsive creature.
"Did no one ever tell you cultural appropriation is wrong," Superwoman called out confidently, swaggering towards the woman with the skull painted face, who turned sharply around and was faced with the Kryptonian for the very first time.
"Run along wee little gal." A thick Irish brogue rang from the sarcasm in her voice.
"Still no defense for the skull, are you trying to steal Mexican culture or do you just really love skulls, I have to tell you this." She motioned up and down with her hand. "Does not suit you at all, I know your Irish but come on add some rouge to those cheeks, bring some life to your visage."
"Run along now child, before I turn you into that." The Banshee pointed to the horrified face of the man that sat propped up against the bookshelf, his face a dull beige color, his mouth agape as though he was trying to scream through his lifeless mouth but nothing emerged.
Holy fucking shit!
"What did you do to him?"
"Just took his essence lass, don't worry run along and you won't meet his fate, I need to find a book."
Banshees are really serious about library silence, wtf did that guy do talk a little too loudly?
Superwoman frowned she was annoyed at being dismissed by the creature that now bent over her frail think knees looking grotesque through the blackness of her tight-fitting body suit, it was time to show the creature just what she was dealing with.
The book she now held dismantled in her hands as the lasers burst out of Superwoman's eyes violently, lighting up the darkened aisle of the library with blue and odd shades of white, the Banshee turned her eyes towards her an evil glint in her mischievous eyes.
"I did warn ya."
"You did but I've never been very good at taking advice," Superwoman said smugly, her hands braced on her hips.
The scream was unexpected (Y/n) had never heard such a high pitched squeal of pain and evil in her life, like a tornado it hit her sending her momentarily stumbling backward until she found her balance and stood firmly on her feet, the look of surprise on the Banshee's face made her smile.
"Oh boney you got to do better than that." Giving her a taste of her own medicine Superwoman blew at her as hard as she could sending her stumbling back and hitting the bookcase behind her the books falling around her.
Superwoman walked closer. "What's wrong I thought you would give me the same, I have to tell you I've been sucked dry a few times and you really need some lessons." She laughed loudly. "Maybe you need to take a few lessons from my girlfriend."
Standing uncertainly onto her feet the Banshee screamed louder, only it had no effect on the woman in red and blue she merely laughed louder, more confident than ever that she would win, in a frenzy the Banshee looked around her trying to find a way out she didn't know why her powers wouldn't work on this woman, she never failed, but this time was impossible.
Seeing a large pile of books on the shelves above them she aimed her scream up and the books came cascading down and landing on top of Superwoman, in the distraction of her trying to pull all of the books from her and free herself from the confines the Banshee was out the library and disappearing into the night.
"Damn crazy Banshee."
Superwoman sighed and looked back at the chaos she had left behind, the lifeless man the guy probably had a family waiting for him at home, and she'd ruthlessly taken his life without a care, then her mind turned to the book, what book had she been looking for?
Maybe she just really loves books?
