@battenthecrosshatches it’s only been two years since you sent me this prompt LOL I hope you will still accept it

The gala was a disaster.
First Lena couldn’t make it, and begged Sam to attend in her place. The reason for which was still entirely unknown. But Sam wasn’t going to let Lena get away with not telling her, she owed her after this. Big time.
Second, Sam had been reamed out by the manager of the venue. For a scratch in the floor from if she understood everything that was being yelled at her while she tried not to flinch from the spray of saliva. She suspected that L-Corp was being blamed for old damages but right now she didn’t care; she promised L-Corp would cover the cost.
Third, the catering was late. By the time food was served guests were already drunk from an open bar and empty stomachs. She already had to get staff in the main room to clean up, twice, and the night was only half through. Plus she was positive the keynote speaker was drunk by the time they got up on stage and delivered their speech. Forcing Sam to make a mental note to tell Lena that they needed to fire whoever it was on the event team that was responsible for letting that happen without talking to Sam first.
Fourth, she was supposed to be on a date. A first date, with Alex. Which didn’t really contribute to the gala being a disaster, but it was certainly contributing to Sam’s mood. She was beginning to think she was hallucinating. Imagining glimpses of Alex’s auburn hair in the crowds, thinking she kept hearing her laugh.
Except she wasn’t hallucinating.
Alex standing on the edge of the crowd, in the slinkiest dress Sam could’ve imagined. Hair styled to look as if it was pinned off to one side, her makeup light and natural, highlighting her eyes.
“Alex.” Sam hissed, trying to be discreet.
“Alex!” Sam’s voice was a little strong the second time, rolling her eyes when the agent still did not respond.
“Agent Danvers.” Sam’s CEO voice turned heads, Alex finally turning with them.
“Sam!” Alex strode towards her, the slits in her dress showing off glimpses of both thighs. “What are you…”
“Are you hiding?” Alex tried not to laugh as she followed Sam as she ducked back behind a wide pillar.
“Yes.” Sam smiled, now trying not to laugh at how absurd that sounded. “Not that I’m unhappy to see you. But what are you doing here?”
“Oh! Well, after you had to cancel our date I figured I might as well go into work so I would be able to get a request for a different night off.” Alex shrugged. “We got some chatter. And with the latest attack against Lena, J’onn thought it would be best if we had some agents present. As a precaution.”
Sam sighed as she leaned heavily against the pillar. “Well, it would be just my luck.”
“Rough night?” Alex asked gently as she stepped just inside Sam’s space looking like she wanted to reach out but deciding against it.
“This gala is a disaster.” Sam smiled tiredly as she reached out, fingers drifting gently down Alex’s forearm to hold her hand.
“I didn’t want to say anything…” Alex laughed as Sam used her free hand to smack her arm. “Watch it, I’m on duty. I could arrest you for assaulting an officer.”
“Alex.” Sam started to stand taller. “Arrest me.”
“What?” Alex sputtered.
“Tell J’onn I have intel and bring me back to the DEO for questioning.”
“Right. And what am I supposed to tell him after I bring you in and you have no information?”
“I don’t know Alex.” Sam was almost whining, “Tell him I lied. Tell him anything. Just save me from this gala.”
Alex nodded before she disappeared, reappearing so quickly for a moment Sam briefly wondered if she shared her sister’s super speed.
“Let’s go.” Alex tugged on Sam’s fingers as she led them quickly to a side door, through the kitchen and out a side exit.
“Won’t you get in trouble for this?”
“Won’t you?”
“Let’s just say that Lena owes me for some galas in the past.” Sam smiled as Alex held open the door of an unmarked car.
“Let’s just say that Kara owes me for some galas in the past too.” Alex returned the smile and moved to the driver’s seat.
“What time is the gala supposed to end?” Alex set an alarm on her watch before she reached over to give Sam’s knee a squeeze.
Alex should have gotten a green lantern ring at the episode where Reign comes after Ruby. From their we should have gotten a spin-off show about Alex juggling her responsibilities to defend the universe as a green lantern and dating Sam/taking care of Ruby.
Who’s interested in a Supergirl fix in which Sam and Ruby return, Lena uses her damn brain and realizes that Kara’s Supergirl/Kara girls the hell up and tells Lena that she’s Supergirl, Alex realizes that Sam is perfect for her, and Lena and Kara realize that they’re in love with each other despite the lies and secrets they’ve both kept?
