Chapter 1: Chapter One

Chapter Text

The tall brunette opened the door of her car, throwing her backpack on the backseat.

“C’mon Kara! I want to get there early!” She shouted.

“I’m coming! I’m coming, I’m here!” Said the blonde running from the house and smiling at her sister.

Alex looked her up and down with a small smile playing on her lips. “Are you seriously wearing that to a punk concert?”

Kara looked at her casual jeans and bright yellow shirt that had the words ‘be kind ’ printed on it and shrugged. “Being kind is punk!”

Her sister shook her head laughing and sat on the driver's seat. “Whatever you say, sis.”


After a good drive and a good time standing in line they were finally inside the small venue where they would see one of Alex’s favorite bands. Kara didn't know much about them, just that they liked to yell the F word a lot, but she didn't mind. Just the small trip with her sister was worth it, with Alex now on her senior year they barely had time to catch up.

When the concert started Kara gave up trying to keep her sister's attention, she was clearly focused on the pretty singer.

“You don't have to stay here with me.” The younger girl yelled to be heard over the noise.

“You sure? This things can get a little crazy.” Kara nodded.

“Yeah, go ahead I’m just gonna stay here in the back. I’ve got my phone with me so just text if you need.”

Alex hesitated, but she was here to enjoy the concert and that meant going into the mosh pit and crowd surfing not just stand in the back.

“Okay, but be careful and call me if you need anything!” The blonde reassured her she would be fine and pushed her forward gently, Alex smiled and was soon lost in the crowd.

 

Alex felt her body buzzing with excitement, this year had been hard and she spent most of her time studying which meant she really needed this. Just be lost in the crowd screaming her lungs out and letting all out. She pushed some people around getting into the mosh and laughed when a small body fell into her.

“Danvers!!” The tall brunette was surprised to see soft brown eyes and a smiling face with perfect dimples looking at her.

“Sawyer.” She had no idea the other girl enjoyed this sort of music. They shared a couple of classes and, if Alex was honest with herself, she had a bit of a crush on the tiny girl.

“I LOVE THIS SONG!” Maggie yelled and pulled Alex by the hand to where, the taller girl had no idea but she didn't really mind as long as Maggie kept holding her hand.

 

Kara usually didn't listen to this type of angry music but this band was nice, the pretty singer had a nice voice and she knew a couple of songs from when Alex had decided to listen to it loudly in her room.  She was humming to herself while watching the crowd when she felt someone come up behind her, hot breath hitting her ear along with the person's perfume.

“Are you lost? You don't seem like the type that enjoys this sort of things.” Kara turned and met impossible bright green/blue eyes that were expressive enough without the thick eyeliner. The eyes belonged to a gorgeous girl with jet black hair shaved on both sides, pale skin and multiple piercings. The blonde was speechless, she didn't think she had ever seen anyone so beautiful before, her little bisexual heart couldn't handle. The girl smiled and Kara had to remember to breathe at the sight.

“So, are you lost?”

The blonde fixed her glasses awkwardly. “N-no, I’m with my...sister!” She wasn't proud of how she stuttered to get one sentence out but the other girl was too close and smelled so good it was hard to focus. “She's. ..” They were distracted  by a commotion on the stage, the lead singer was yelling something  about how everyone should be able to love whomever they want and there were two girls kissing near the bassist. “Kissing a girl on stage??” Kara gasped when she saw the familiar tall frame and short brown hair of her sister.

The other girl chuckled. “She's hardcore, I like her already.” Alex and the girl she was kissing jumped on the crowd as the band started another song and Kara turned her attention  back to the brunette beside her.

“I’m Lena, and you are?” Her voice was smooth and had a hint of an accent that the blonde couldn't place in the midst of all that noise.

“Kara.” She managed unnecessarily fixing her glasses. The smile she got in response made her a little weak on the knees and she was happy she was standing so close to the wall.

 

She couldn't believe she had kissed captain of the softball team Maggie Sawyer. In front a crowd, on the stage while one of her favorite singers was standing smiling at them. This night was just turning out to be too good to be true but Alex couldn't find in herself to care when Maggie smiled at her like that, dimples showing and eyes shining with excitement.

“C’mon Danvers! I want to crowd surf again before the concert is over.” Maggie had only let go of her hand when absolutely necessary and Alex was really enjoying the feeling of her small but strong hand on hers. They started to push through the crowd to get near the stage again and all Alex could feel was excitement and butterflies. She didn't want this night to end. She just hoped Kara was having fun too.

 

Kara was having as much fun as one could have when they didn't really care for the band that was playing or getting into the mosh pit and having an amazingly beautiful girl wanting to talk to her but not really being able to have a conversation due to the loud music.

Which means not that much.

“Do you wanna get out of here?” Lena asked leaning close so she could be heard. Kara fought a shiver when she felt the hot breath hit her ear. “You don't seem to be having that much fun, I can keep you company while you wait for your sister.”

“What? No! You're here to enjoy the concert, you don’t need to miss anything just to keep me company!” Lena smirked. "Well to be honest I've been to a lot of their concerts. I can miss the end of one of them, especially for a pretty girl. Besides, I like what it says on your shirt. 'Be Kind' , what's more punk than that?" The brunette raised one of her eyebrows and offered a hand to the other girl.

Kara felt a little guilty for making Lena miss the end of the concert but her head was hurting from all the noise and it's not like it was easy to refuse the other girl when she had that kind of smile that was almost hypnotic and that sexy thing she did with her eyebrow. They walked through the crowd hand in hand with Lena guiding them, pushing some people around when needed, some guys just couldn't take a hint. Finally they felt the blessed fresh night air and stepped outside.

“Where are we going?” Kara asked looking around the unfamiliar street. Lena just smiled and kept walking, still holding Kara’s hand.

 

The singer yelled a final ‘thank you’ and the band started to leave the stage. “Hey Danvers do you think they would let us through backstage if we cry a little?” Maggie said with a wicked smile. Alex rolled her eyes.

“You just want to see if you can catch Lizzy in her bra.” Maggie let out a hearty laugh, eyes shining and the taller girl lost her breath at the sight.

“I will have you know that I only wanted an autograph...on my boobs.” Now Alex was the one to laugh.

“You're ridiculous. But I can't.” She took her phone out of her pocket. “I gotta go find my sister.”

“Well then, let's go find little Danvers, I’ll just have to save that autograph for next time.” Alex just rolled her eyes and grabbed the shorter girl's hand dragging her through the crowd while Maggie kept throwing teasing comments at her.

After walking around for a good ten minutes and texting Kara like a million times without reply, Alex was getting increasingly frustrated and worried.

“Maybe her battery died.” Maggie suggested trying to keep the other girl calm. “Or she just put on silent and forgot.”

“No, her phone was fully charged so we wouldn't have anything like this happening and the concert is over, she would be checking her phone to know where I am by now.” Alex ran a hand through her short hair scanning the small crowd that was still hanging around the concert’s venue, looking for any sight of her sister.

“Hey isn't that your sister?” The shorter brunette pulled Alex in the direction she had seen a blonde head. “I didn't know she had a girlfriend.”

“What?!”

Alex finally found her sister sitting in the back of a black pickup laughing and drinking with a pretty brunette. She practically marched there, Maggie had to jog a little to keep up.

“KARA DANVERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” The blonde in question was so startled by her sister's sudden apparition that she choked on her drink. After a few seconds of coughing she finally caught her breath.

“Alex! Hi!”

“I thought you said you were going to stay put and that I could text you if I needed. Apparently you forgot about the part where you have to actually check your phone for texts!” The older girl looked at her little sister in a threatening way, hands on hips and eyebrow raised. It was her ‘ you better have a good excuse’ look.

“I’m sorry! I was waiting for you where you left but then I started to talk with Lena and the music was so loud it was giving me a headache so we came here and I didn't feel my phone, I’m sorry!!” She finished her rambling with pleading puppy eyes she knew Alex had a weak spot for. The brunette looked at her sister and then at the punk looking girl and her browns were drawn in a frown that got deeper when she saw the beer bottles.

“Seriously? Beer?” She exclaimed in disbelief. Kara almost jumped from the car when she saw the murderous look on the taller girl's face.

“No no no, it's non alcoholic!! There's no alcohol!! We were just talking, she didn't do anything!”

Alex saw the honest look on the blonde’s face and sighed. “Okay, okay. You're not drinking and you're in one peace, we're fine.” Kara nodded and gave her sister an one armed hug.

“All right, just don't forget to check your phone again, ok? Or I’m never letting you come with me to this things again.”

“I promise!” The blonde beamed.

“All right, now that the Danvers are all good, can I have one of those?” Maggie asked gesturing to the root beers near Lena.

“Of course.”

 

The Danvers sisters stayed there talking with their new friends for a while before getting into Alex's car and heading back home. Kara leaned her head on the window watching the road, a soft smile on her face. This was definitely a good day, she was glad Alex invited her to come along. It was great spending time with the older girl and Maggie was nice too, but she couldn't help but think that the best part of the night was meeting Lena. Her smile got bigger when she remembered Lena smiling at her while telling stupid jokes. By her punk look you would think she was rash and maybe violent, but Lena was actually really sweet and a little bit of a dork. Kara really hoped they could meet again soon. Her smile disappeared when she realized she hadn't exchanged information with the other girl so they could keep contact.
