(Y/n) sank further down into the chair trying to avoid her intense stare as she watched her with a hawk-like gaze that made her want to run away but also made her want to throw herself at her and devour her with a heated frenzied kiss.
Lena shifted awkwardly next to her, avoiding her own girlfriend who was slightly less angry than Alex was, in fact, she was way less angry than her sister, while Alex did her best impression of a fire-breathing dragon, Kara was trying her best not to laugh, laugh at the repentant CEO sitting before them still in her ridiculous outfit, her pale cheeks flushed a pale rouge.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourselves?" Alex asked her arms crossed over her chest angrily.
(Y/n) looked at Lena. "She was the one with the parrot, and did you see it pooed on my head!"
Kara turned around to hide her chuckle, but (Y/n) heard it and frowned at her. "It wasn't my fault Batwoman and the tv reporter ruined my plan if they hadn't had turned up Lena and I would have been away."
"Why were you there in the first place?" Alex countered.
" Well we were in the restaurant and Lena was like, what the heck do you see in Alex? and I was like OMG Lena how can you say that? She is utter perfection and... "
"Cut the crap (Y/n)," Alex said sternly, her flattery was not going to work this time.
" Yeah cut the crap (Y/n) I asked you what attracted you to her. " Lena stared at her cousin angrily, which would have worked if she wasn't wearing a rainbow tutu, Kara felt the build-up of laughter bubbling away she was afraid she would be able to hold it for much longer.
"You promised me."
" We don't know how it happened. " Lena shrugged desperately.
"Yeah, we were just talking and complaining about the awful food. "
"(Y/n) was complaining." Lena cut in.
(Y/n) shrugged. "I had cause to it was like eating sawdust, then this champagne was sent to our table and Lena was just like, we can't turn down free champagne ( Y/n)." She mocked her cousin in a high pitched voice, making her frown but still she said nothing, technically she was right she had said that. "What was the name of the woman again Lena?"
Lena looked to the side trying to conjure up the name. "Zatanna, she is a magician she'd been watching (Y/n) for ages I was teasing her about it actually."
"I didn't want to drink it." The chef defended.
" No, she is right she didn't, after we began drinking I guess it started then, and then that Harley woman came along. " Lena said. "Let me tell you that woman has issues."
" What about me I was almost assaulted by a Batwoman. " (Y/n) said mortified. "Her white eyes seemed sex-crazed and they were firmly set on me."
Lena rolled her eyes. "You are exaggerating."
"I am not, she was thinking up ship names for us, let me tell you she is not very inventive." (Y/n) turned to everyone in turn to tell them. "Oh, Alex I came up with the coolest one ever for us, wait for it SuperHottie." She glowed brightly. "Do you like it, because you know, you are the hottie?"
Kara lifted an eyebrow "I think you need to keep working on it."
"I liked it." (Y/n) shrugged her shoulders.
"You two should go and have your own talks, I want to talk with (Y/n) alone." Alex said still keeping her gaze on her girlfriend."
"Err...really I think they should stay, hey Kara I'll make you potstickers."
Kara stopped, hesitating she would love those potstickers, Alex glared at her. "Don't even think about it."
"Sorry (Y/n)."
"Yeah, yeah."
(Y/n) watched ominously as Kara and Lena walked to the door adjoining the room, closing it behind them she sighed, feeling brown eyes boring into her. "Don't start Alex, we explained what happened it wasn't our fault."
"You promised me!" Alex replied sternly.
"Yeah I know, but I didn't realize some magician was gonna spike our drinks or whatever the hell she did, can they even do that? I mean what else could it have been normal booze shouldn't affect me even if I drank one hundred glasses, so don't you think that maybe just maybe for once I am right and I didn't mean to break my promise to you?"
Alex rolled her eyes planting her hands on her hips. "I forget how immature you can be."
(Y/n) glared back at her, rising swiftly and with purpose to her feet. "Immature! are you fucking kidding me? I work damn hard every day of my life, always have done ever since I left my father's house for university, did I play once in a while yes, do I still do it yes, it's good to let your hair down once in a while Alex you should try it sometime instead of drinking alone."
"What does that mean?"
The chef shook her head with a smirk. "You think I never noticed Alex, how couldn't I you drink a lot, and I mean a lot, something happens and to deal with it you drink whether that is good or bad, you drink, how does no one else ever say anything because it's as clear as the nose on my face Alex, you are an alcoholic!"
Alex felt her blood heat up with rage, her face contorted with anger. "How dare you I am not!"
"Yes, Alex you are."
"Then why are you even with me if I am one?" Alex questioned.
"Because I fucking love you, you massive idiot! I've been trying to say it for so long, but at first, I thought I was just imagining things because no one else ever questions it, ever, and then it became harder to voice but it has to be said, Al, you are and I know that stuff can't harm you now but how long will it be before you need something that takes the pain away, how long before you take to the stuff that can do all of that?" (Y/n)'s voice became softer as the fear became more real for her.
"You are the one who jumps into that pool with both feet. "Alex accused her face now fully red with rage and something else she couldn't quite admit to herself.
"No, Alex I have fun once in a while, and usually other times I hardly drink at all and you know that."
The agent clenched her hands tightly trying to release the anger that was running through her, how dare 9Y/n) say all of those things, why was she turning the tables onto her when she was the one in the wrong? "You know what I don't want to talk about this!"
"Yeah, sure but you have to Alex, maybe go to AA or something."
"Fuck off (Y/n)! get out I'm done talking about this!" Alex shouted.
"But it's my hotel room?" (Y/n) said puzzled. "You know what fine, I'm fucking going but this isn't over Alex, we will be discussing this again I'm not letting you run away from it anymore!" With a slam of the door she was gone, Alex starring after her, her head bowed as suddenly all vestiges of anger departed her, she didn't want her to leave, she wanted her to stay, why did she leave if she cared so much?
Her eyes turned to the drinks cabinet, just as the door swung open again and there stood (Y/n) with a determined glow in her eyes. "You know what, me leaving would be perfect wouldn't it, you could convince yourself that I am leaving for someone else, well tough luck Agent Danvers, I don't care, because I am staying here with you even if you hate me for it!"
(Y/n) swallowed hard, feeling none of the confidence she was acting, she hoped she was doing the right thing, she hoped beyond everything she was doing the right thing, plus with Batwoman on the loose out there looking for a Super hook-up it was kinda dangerous to be out on the streets of Gotham, she thought back to the time she had first seen Black Canary, at least she had a charm, Batwoman was just...well...something.
Alex sighed inwardly with relief.
(Y/n) closed the door softly coming to sit next to where Alex slumped down, looking for a long time at Alex's hand that sat spread out on her own knee, taking the risk she placed her own hand on top and threaded her fingers between Alex's, Alex grasped them tightly, silence still stretched out between them.
The chef turned Alex's head towards her with her free hand so that she was looking at her. "I know you are scared Alex, but I swear I will never leave you, let's do this together, I will always be by your side, behind you ready to catch you."
"I bet you wish you'd chosen Diana now," Alex whispered hoarsely.
"Never, my heart began beating the day you arrested me, well I would have said it was more like a very brash feel up but I wasn't complaining about that." She smiled. "I love you, Alex Danvers, I want only the best things for you, you deserve the most wonderful things that the cosmos has to offer, hence why you have me."
"You are confident."
"Yep, well love does that to a person, tell me, Alex, what would you do if I was the one with the problem? would you stay quiet or would you say something and get me to address it?"
Alex sighed. "I would say something."
"Exactly."
"What do you need me to do?"
"No, Alex this isn't about what I need you to do, you must have issues, reasons why you do it, you address them and you can free yourself." (Y/n) caressed her thumb over her hand to sooth away her discomfort, or at least help too. "Are you unhappy?"
"No, God no (Y/n) I'm the happiest I've ever been in my whole life, I just...I don't know during university I drank a lot, went clubbing a lot, I was close to being kicked out I hardly attended classes anymore, I just...I don't know the responsibility was just too much I guess and I had that so much even as a kid with Kara, I never seemed to be able to free myself from expectations and obligations, then guess drink just became that coping mechanism I always turned to, even now."
"Oh, Alex baby, your not on your own anymore, Kara, she is capable of looking after herself, even though she still needs you it's not like it was then, and she has Lena now, and you have me, let's do this together, let's give it up together."
Alex's eyes grew wide. "What?"
(Y/n) nodded. "Together, let's give it all up together I will be with you because if its a decision between booze and kissing my girlfriend, there is no contest ever, you win always."
"You would even give up the drunken crazy nights with Lena?" Alex asked half amused.
"Well you are assuming we need alcohol to make us crazy, that woman is loopy enough Alex I swear it, and she will understand, I'm glad she is my cousin though."
"Why?" Alex shrugged.
"Because I don't think she is my best friend anymore, I think you are."
Alex smiled, tears falling from her eyes freely, she didn't try to hide them or push them away lifting up the hand that was held in her own she kissed it. "It's been a long time since I had a best friend."
(Y/n) smiled. "Well, I'm yours for as long as you want me."
"Is forever good for you?"
"It's perfect for me."
