Chapter Text
"Do you really think it's a good idea?"
"Well, I...I think so, yeah..."
"Kaaaaal..."
"Listen, it's too late to back down now, right? I mean... we have superpowers... I think we can make it through the evening..."
"Yes, well, I don't know how they'll help us tonight, unless it's to fly away in opposite directions as fast as we can before they kill us..."
"Hahaha, it'll be fine, Kara. I'll see you soon."
"Yeah... See you..."
Kara disconnected the call just in time to see Lucy coming out of her (their) room, fully dressed and ready to go.
"Hey, who was that?" Lucy asked, smiling at her.
The superhero could not help the big smile that came on her face when she saw her girlfriend. Black dress hugging her in all the right places, light makeup that accentuates her eyes, and heels just high enough to leave her on the exact height that all Kara has to do to kiss her is incline her head down slightly. Something of which she took full advantage of, as soon as Lucy was in arms length.
Sooner than she'd like to, Kara broke the kiss, giggling when Lucy mumbled a protest. As much as she'd like to take her time right now, the evening would be awkward enough without them arriving late... and possibly dishevelled.
"Why'd you stop?" Lucy asked, hands still around Kara's neck.
Kara laughed and gave her a peck on the lips before stepping away from the embrace, and heading to the door. "We have reservations, Luce..." Kara said and she regretted the second she did, because then Lucy was smirking and it made her blush.
"It would not be the first time we were late, Supergirl..." She said slyly, approaching the door slowly.
"Major Lane!" Kara said, blush brighter than before, but a smile was playing on her lips.
Lucy laughed and got her car keys. "Alright, alright, let's go." Kara closed the door and they headed out. "Tomorrow is Friday, there will plenty of time later." Lucy said over her shoulder, grinning, and Kara forced a smile. That would be wonderful... if Lucy did not make her fly back home, alone, and sleep on the couch after dinner.
Once they were in the car, Lucy asked the question Kara had kinda hoped she'd forgotten about.
"So, who were you talking to on the phone?"
Kara shifted uncomfortably. She was not going to lie to Lucy, but she wasn't sure what the best approach was here... Lucy was behind the wheel right now after all.
"Well...you see... when I made the reservations...it was not just for the two of us..." Kara wriggled her hands together.
"What...what do you mean? We're meeting someone?" Lucy asked, only curious and confused so far, eyes still on the road. So far, so good.
"Yeah...kinda of... two people?" Kara answered, looking at her girlfriend from the corner of her eye.
"So we're going for a double date?" Lucy asked, amused, with an eyebrow up. Eyes still on the road.
"Yes...?" Kara mumbled.
Lucy chuckled. "Alright, but with whom? As far as I know, nobody we know is da-..." She stopped mid-sentence and Kara closed her eyes.
"Kara...?" Lucy asked, voice tight, as if the words had to struggled out of clenched teeth - which was probably true.
"Y-yeah?" Kara whispered.
"Tell me you didn't." Lucy all but ordered. But Kara would never lie to Lucy
"Hum..." Was Kara's only answer as she looked out of the window.
The light in front of them went red and Lucy stopped the car. She reached out and touched Kara's chin to make their eyes connect. Even though she was angry, her touch was gentle.
"Please tell me, that I am not going to see my sister and your cousin when I park in front of the restaurant." Lucy said, clearly struggling not to rise her voice.
"Light's green..." Kara said quickly, looking in the opposite direction of her pissed off girlfriend. Before she did, she saw Lucy's eyes narrow, as she put the car in motion once more.
"Give me one good reason for me not to turn this car around, right now." Lucy said, hands clenching the wheel with way more force than necessary.
"W-Well... I..." Kara stopped and took a deep breath, trying to remember all the reasons she and Kal had discussed over the phone on why this could be a good idea... she could not remember most of them. She knew she should have sunbathed this morning. She took another deep breath before looking at Lucy. "Well, you said that you'd like to be closer to your sister again, and Lois may have said the same thing to Kal, and well this is a way for you guys to talk without all that pressure, because Kal and I will be there as well. And that's another thing, I mean... I love you...and Kal loves Lois, and we are cousins... Kal and I.. and you and Lois are sisters, and I mean, I want us all to get along together, you know. Kal is my only blood family left and I just-" She was not sure how much longer she'd have continued talking if it wasn't for another red light and Lucy pulling her for a kiss, shutting her up quite effectively.
They broke away as soon as the lights were green again, and Lucy started driving. Kara waited in silence for while, before Lucy sighed and shifted in her sit.
"I understand why you did it... and why it's important to you. I love you too, and I promise I will try my best to make this evening go well." She said, extending her hand to grasp Kara's, who returned the pressure immediately. "I...you could have told me before though, you didn't have to be this sneaky."
It was Kara's turn to raise an eyebrow.
"I'm serious... with your puppy eyes, I'd probably have given in anyways...after a while." She said with a small grin and Kara blushed. With one last squeeze on Kara's hand, Lucy let it go so she could park the car.
Kara quickly got out to make her way around the car (a little bit faster than she should, but she felt it was necessary at the moment) to help Lucy out the other door. It seemed to work, for her girlfriend's smile grew a bit bigger, as she took Kara's offered hand and climbed off the car.
"Wait." Lucy frowned and Kara's froze. "Did Lois agree to this?" She asked, eyes narrowed.
Kara shifted on her feet and pulled Lucy with her towards their destination, feeling her girlfriend's eyes on the back of her head. They stopped together, side by side when the doors came into view.
In front of the restaurant, wearing a similar expression of anger and indignation as her sister, was Lois Lane. Kal was right by her side, shifting uncomfortable on his feet, much the same way Kara felt like doing right now.
"Kara... you're sleeping on the couch." Lucy muttered under her breath and both Kara and Kal winced. Her cousin shot her an understanding glance, which told her that Lois had probably said the exact same thing to him.
This was gonna be a long night...
