A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write
Chapter Four: The Morning After
Like usual, Kara was the first one up. Since becoming Editor and Chief for Cat, she was constantly editing, re-formatting and tweaking articles so they could fit in the upcoming issue. Not wanting to wake Lena, she forewent making her cup of coffee, and got right to work.
Lucky for her, she had a genius, scientist girlfriend who was ridiculously good at picking up on what she needed.
“Morning, gorgeous.” Lena walks in with her bedhead that magically looked great, and her flannel PJs. “Your usual?”
“Please.” Kara grinned, quickly glancing up with a smile. “Wanted to squeeze in some light work before Esme, Alex and Kelly come over.”
“It still feels surreal that they chose me to be her Godmother.” She finished pouring the coffee, and began to work on their breakfast.
“I think you’re the perfect choice. And thinking back on how far your friendship with Alex has come…there’s no one better to protect her than you.” Kara grinned.
“You’re literally bulletproof.” Lena chuckled.
“Not the point…” Kara couldn’t help but laugh. “Alex went from not trusting you because of your last name, to putting all of her cards on the table; asking you to be the guardian of her daughter should something happen to her and Kelly.”
“It was a bit of a shock to hear that from the both of them.” Two plates in hand, she heads to the table. “But it was a good shock. And since getting to know Alex, that was one thing I always wanted, was her trust; to let her know she could count on me.”
“And you’ve proved yourself time and time again, Lena. Now, you have the family you've always wanted.” Kara assures as she takes a bite. “Mhmmm, my compliments to the chef,”
“Now you’re just fluffing my ego.” Lena retorted with her signature eyebrow raise.
“Ding Dong!” Alex pokes her head through the door. “Hope we’re not interrupting?”
“Not at all, come in.” Kara closes her laptop. “There she is!”
“Aunt Kara!” Esme runs directly to her, and climbs up on her lap. “I saw your interview with that Cat lady. We all, did.”
“Yeah? And what did you think?” She asked with an heir of curiosity.
“I thought it was so cool, and very brave. I think you’re going to help even more people now.” Esme proudly declares.
“Now I can officially start my day.” Kara gives Esme a warm chuckle accompanied with a hug. “You want to help me with my article? I sure could use some insight from the smartest person on Earth.” She smirked with a wink.
“Took you long enough to ask.” Esme smiled; for her age, her sarcasm was on par with Alex and Lena’s.
“Follow me.” Laptop in one hand, Esme’s hand in her other, she heads over to the couch and they get started.
“Those two are really attached at the hip, aren’t they?” Lena chuckled, chatting with Alex and Kelly in the kitchen.
“You should’ve seen Esme the night the interview aired. The second Kara appeared, she leaped off the couch to sit right in front of the tv.” Kelly grinned.
“She even shushed us.” Alex adds. “But in all honesty, I was so happy watching Kara finally finding herself. She’s been struggling with finding balance, and that night, she found it. And I’m even happier that Esme has someone to look up to, like Kara, to show her she doesn’t have to be separate things at different times. She can be whoever she wants.”
“Speaking of that interview, when I was watching it…Andrea was with me.” Lena revealed hesitantly.
“Talk about a plot twist.” Alex sets her mug of coffee down, ready to receive the story.
“How’d she take it?” Kelly tacks on.
“Surprisingly well. She also agreed glasses were a bad disguise. But she also looked back on all of the times she has mistreated Kara, and I think she may actually be turning over a new leaf.” Lena gives a shrug that could be read as both doubtful and hopeful.
“That’s good at least. I know Kara tried really hard to get Andrea on her side. Hopefully their reconciliation goes okay.” Alex agreed.
“Hey, Sorry to interrupt. Cat just called. I have to go in to give her what I have. Please, hang out as long as you three are able to stay.” With a swoosh of her coat, she also grabbed her bag. “And I will see you later for date night.” Kara had no problem with giving Lena a big smooch in front of Alex, Kelly and Esme.
Lena, rendered speechless, simply blushes.
“Bye guys!” Kara waves shutting the door
“I knew there was something.” Alex smirked. “I could tell there was some sort of magnetic pull the day we got Kara back.
“When did you two become…” Kelly began to ask.
“Official? At the wedding. But an interruption kinda ruined the moment. So, last night I started to tell her how I felt, and Kara being Kara…she knew. And she felt the same way.”
“Does that mean you and Aunt Kara are girlfriends now?” Esme asked. “Because it’s about time. The way she talks about you, it’s like a real life Disney movie.”
“And as you can see, Esme is your biggest supporter.” Kelly let’s out a belly laugh.
Lena’s blush didn’t go away. Not only was is that “in love glow”, there was something else she wasn’t saying.
“Lena, I know that look. What are you hiding?” Alex analyzed her body language.
Ta-Da! Chapter 4 has arrived! Tell me what you think.

A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write
Chapter Five: Asking Permission
Heading over to her bedside dresser, she opens the top drawer. Upon doing so, she moves aside some shirts and a few socks. What emerged: a small box that was a familiar shade of sea foam teal that was made synonymous with Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Lena then walks back over to the three, anxiously waiting.
“Is that…” Kelly nearly drops her coffee.
“Yep.” Lena started to blush even harder this time.
“Can I see it?” Esme’s eyes sparkled as she asked.
Lena crouches to her God daughter’s level. Inside the box, a simple silver band with alternating diamonds with Kara’s birthstone: Sapphire.
“Lena, this is gorgeous. Kara is going to not only be surprised, and practically fly into the sun…but she’s going to be so happy.” Kelly envelopes her friend in the warmest congratulatory hug.
“Thanks.” Bash fully curling some hair behind her ear, Lena turned to Alex. “I know this looks sudden, and…”
Before Lena could even finish her speech, Alex, with the biggest, teary-eyed smile, was hugging her future sister in law, “You absolutely have my permission. After everything you and Kara went through, even that period of time where it felt like you two were on opposite sides of the world after what happened at the Fortress, your friendship and love prevailed. And over these past few months, I’ve seen how happy Kara has been. I know she has her person, and I’m so glad that person is you.”
“I—I don’t know what to say. I give you my word that with every ounce of my being, and with a little magic here and there, I promise to love and cherish her.” At this point Lena couldn’t stop smiling.
“Does this mean I get to be your flower girl?!” Esme bounced with anticipation.
“It does indeed.” Lena could definitely see Esme’s enthusiasm resembling Kara’s. “Question…How do I get to Argo City? I can’t really ask Kara without raising suspicions.”
“J‘on.” Alex and Kelly say in unison.
“You also have to tell Aunt Nia, Uncle Brainy, Grandma and Aunt Sam.” Esme lists off analytically.
“Clark too.” Alex realized.
“I feel like getting a blessing from Kara’s other family may prove difficult. But I’m not going to let that stop me.” A quick glance at her watch. “Speaking of, if this going to happen, I need to hit the road.
“Why don’t we hit the Tower? Three people you need to ask are already there, and J’onn could take you to Argo City after.” Alex suggested, already helping Esme with her coat.
“Let’s get this show on the road!” Kelly was beaming with excitement.
“Loving the energy.” Lena chuckled, locking the door, then headed out of the apartment to begin the next step of this magical journey. Not only did Lena have to ask everyone in their immediate friend group, from stories Kara had told her…She had a lot of other fellow “Super Friends” to ask as well.
Here is Chapter Five! I know it’s a bit short, but who knows…might have a surprise up my sleeve. 😏
