Read on AO3 or under fold
“Three coffees please”
Alex smirks as she watches Maggie raise an eyebrow as she looks between Alex and Kara.
“Three?”
“You worried Sawyer?”
Smiling Maggie looks down the counter to make sure her boss isn’t watching before she places her hands on the counter leveraging her small height over the counter to brush her lips against Alex’s.
“Never.”
“Good. The coffee is for the other Lane.”
“Lois?” Lucy appears next to Maggie a slight scowl on her face.
“You have another sister we don’t know about?”
Lucy rolls her eyes so hard they almost get stuck in the back of her head. “I just don’t know why you guys hang out with her so much.”
“She’s dating my cousin Lucy! I can’t ignore her.” Kara grumbles as she relieves Maggie of the first two coffees. “Plus I like her.”
“You like everyone Kara.”
The three girls laugh as Kara huffs unable to cross her arms with her hands full as she pretends to glare at Lucy and Alex takes the last coffee and slides a couple bills across the counter shaking her head when Kara offers to pay for her and Lois’.
“You can get the next ones.”
Taking another look around Alex presses a second kiss against Maggie’s lips.
“What no kiss for me?”
Alex wrinkled her nose at Lucy in fake disgust, “You know I always left that job to my sister.”
“Alex!” Alex’s shoulders slumped at Kara’s embarrassed hiss, Lucy’s eyes tinging with sympathy as Kara stalked out the door, her sister close on her heels.
The lecture was still going when Alex and Kara snuck into the back of the room trying not to draw attention to themselves, taking the empty chairs at the back. Kara’s surprised they can get seats at the back so used to them being the first seats to be filled in her undergraduate classes. Setting down the coffees Kara flops into the chair losing her jacket scanning the room for Lois, wondering if sitting at the front of the class is a graduate student’s thing. Everyone desperate to get their money’s worth by being as close to the professor as they can.
The halt of heels clicking on the cement brings Kara’s attention to the front of the room. Eyes dragging over Louis Vuitton stilettos, thin muscular legs, pausing on a yellow and grey print pencil skirt, before traveling over a black top tucked under a black leather jacket.
“Oh.” Kara’s breath hitches as brown eyes framed behind cat eye glasses stare back her.
“What?”
Alex doesn’t look up from her phone as the small sound escapes her sister’s lips.
“Is that…”
“Cat Grant? Yeah.” Alex glanced up at the professor who has not stopped her lecture before looking at her sister who is still so obviously staring. “You really need to listen to Clark and Lois more, they only talk about her all the time…and how they have no idea how the university managed to convince her to step down as CEO of her own company to teach journalism.”
Tearing her eyes away from the other blonde’s Kara holds her hands in front of her face like a curtain turning towards her sister, noting the click of heels on cement once again. “Maybe she just wanted something new.”
“Maybe.” Alex shrugged, clearly unconcerned about what decisions Cat Grant, queen of all media, decided to make in her life.
Kara and Alex stood off to the side at the front of the lecture hall as Lois talked to Ms.Grant, her movements animated as Cat met her with an unwavering gaze. Fixated on the professor, Kara watched her lips move as she replied to Lois, whatever she said sending Lois stomping towards them as she snatched her coffee from Kara.
“Ms Lane.” The voice teetered between demanding and clipped as Lois stormed away. Cat’s eyes now uncovered as she held her glasses, the stem tapping her bottom lip as she scanned the three women. Her eyes lingering on Kara drawing out a light pink blush. “Don’t be rude.”
Straightening her back Lois smiled through grit teeth. “Ms Grant, this is Alex Danvers. And her younger sister, Kara Danvers. Clark is Kara’s cousin.”
“The farm boy you’re dating?” Cat hummed, “Yes I remember him. Are you in journalism like your cousin Ms. Danvers?”
“It’s Kara.” Kara practically squeaked, pulling herself together as Lois and Alex turned to stare at her. “And no, I’m in biology like my sister.”
Cat’s eyes rove over to Alex, raising an eyebrow as the woman doesn’t so much as shift under her stare.
“I’m doing my master’s in bioengineering.” Alex offers returning the stare.
“Impressive.” The word falls out of Cat’s mouth, but she sounds more like she’s dismissing them more then she is impressed.
Taking their cue, they shuffle towards the door Kara stumbling behind them turning as they leave.
“It was nice to meet you Ms Grant.”
Lois and Alex barely notice Kara’s last words, already falling into step deep in conversation, but Kara swears she sees Cat smirk.

Read Chapter 2 on AO3 or under fold
The sun is warm on Kara’s face as she trudges towards the National City University library, a stack of books unsteady in her arms. Trying not to drop the stack, Kara slowly empties her load into the book drop off, looping her hands around her bag straps, hiking it further up setting off on her mission to find the perfect study spot.
It was already getting to be midterm period and tension was palpable in the air. Most seats taken up by students with rows of coffee cups on their desks and finger tangled hair. Kara skirted along the outside wall, seeking her usual desk in the far back corner, wedged between the wall and a concrete pillar overlooking the green square on campus. She knew it was optimistic that the spot would be empty when she was getting here so late in the day but she hoped that she might be able to snag it as students shuffled out to fill their stomachs as cafeterias on campus started serving lunch.
The desk was taken, by some student Kara had never seen, but scribbling away and looking like they were in no position to be leaving soon. Trying not to sulk Kara continued to move along the wall scanning for spots where she hoped she wouldn’t have to share a table. Two circles around the outside Kara finally decided to try and search the top floor.
One lap around the top floor had Kara stalking with impatience. She needed somewhere to study and so far there were no spots open and she did not want to get stuck sitting on the floor next to an outlet all day. Passing a couple of group study rooms, Kara looked at the reservation sheets on the wall. Only one had the afternoon left open, quickly scribbling down her name along with Lucy and Alex’s, Kara reserved the afternoon.
She knew it was unlikely that anyone was actually going to come join her to study, but having a few extra names on the board meant she also wasn’t going to have to fight to keep the room if another group decided to come looking. Pressing open the door Kara walked into the room dropping her bag on the floor before noticing she wasn’t alone.
“Ms Grant!” Kara stood rooted to the floor, shocked that she had found anyone in the room, let alone Lois’ journalism professor with her feet up on the table staring at the roof.
“I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize! There was no name on the paper…” Kara looked back over her shoulder about to offer to leave when Cat held up a finger silencing her rambling.
“Do you hear that?”
“Uhhh no?” Kara closed the door lightly behind her, blocking out the little noise on the other side of the door hoping that whatever noise Cat was currently hearing would be blocked out, or she would be able to hear whatever it was Cat heard.
“You don’t hear that loud, high pitched, incessant humming coming from the vents making it impossible for me to think straight let alone string together one coherent sentence.”
Kara tried not to smile too widely at the vision in front of her who had yet to look away from the vents in the ceiling. “I have pretty good ears…I don’t hear anything.”
“Well.” Lifting her feet off the table Cat straightened her jacket as she finally looked at Kara. “It’s driving me crazy.”
“I should go…” Kara scooped her bag up again as she moved towards the door looking a little defeated thinking about how she might be able to find a spot at home where she could work without any distractions.
“Stop.”
“Turn.”
Kara slowly turned on her heel holding her breath. Cat was staring at her thoughtfully above the lens of her glasses.
“You said I forgot to put a name on the sign up sheet outside.”
It was a statement more than a question so Kara stood in front of those prying eyes trying to figure out if she was supposed to answer. Unsure if she should tell her that she had put her own name on the board so nobody else should walk in on Cat working again, so she just nodded slightly.
“Well. Then I think it’s only fair that you join me, I wouldn't want to kick you out of a perfectly good study area.” Cat had already gone back to her laptop screen halfway through her statement, ignoring the look of relief on Kara’s face as she set her bag down a second time.
“Thank you Ms Grant.”
“Just don’t breath too loudly.”
Kara set up on the opposite end of the table, scribbling down notes on cue cards from lectures she remembered professors highlighting. Despite her growing hunger Kara did her best to ignore the snacks she had hid away at the bottom of her bag, occasionally giving it a longing look. Her desire not to annoy Cat overpowering her need for a protein bar. Cat however seemed like she never needed to eat, typing furiously on her keyboard as she drank her third cup of coffee in as many hours. It was the grumbling of Kara’s stomach that broke their concentration. Kara’s face flushing in embarrassment as she placed a hand on her stomach wishing it silent, hoping it was one of those times it seemed louder then it actually was.
“For God’s sake Kara. Will you just eat whatever has you staring at that atrocious looking backpack you brought in with you? I don’t need to call an ambulance when you keel over because you were too worried about eating in front of me.”
Kara’s face flushed even brighter as she mumbled under her breath digging through her bag pulling out a peanut butter protein bar. Taking a bite, Kara tried not to groan in happiness as it quickly disappeared. Finishing the first one Kara grabbed a second, eating this one in much smaller bites.
“Would you like one? I have lots…” Kara held a third in her hand, she and Alex had learned very quickly that protein bars were a saviour with Kara's fast metabolism and bought them in bulk, hiding them in every bag they owned.
Cat stared at the bar in Kara’s hands like it might infect her before looking Kara up and down behind the desk. “No… not everyone can eat that crap and look that good.”
Cat’s lip twitched as Kara froze, mouth open, protein bar frozen in the air between them. Quickly closing her mouth Kara shoved the extra bar back in her bag and finished the bar she started, keeping her mouth filled so she didn’t have to think of something to say in return.

A Face in the Crowd
Relationships: Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor
Characters: Kara Danvers, Lena Luthor, Alex Danvers, Lucy Lane, Veronica Sinclair, Jess, Maggie Sawyer
Additional Tags: Rockstar AU, 2 Day snapshot
Inspired by: @cozysinner the rockstar au
Summary: Kara Danvers catches the attention of rock singer Lena Luthor when she attends a concert, she isn’t a VIP that night so Lena turns to Twitter to find her.
Lena stands off to the side putting a bud in her ear, barely able to listen to the opening act. This is nothing new, she’s always nervous before they perform on stage. Her stomach clenching as the crowd’s singing or cheering gets louder. It will be easier once she is out on stage it always is. But getting out on stage, that’s the hard part. Even if it is worth it. Even if she gets off the stage feeling happy, her face flushed, her body sweaty and her limbs heavy with content. It is still hard.
A bottle of water is handed to her by someone off to the side, she knows she should give them a smile but she just takes it, grateful for the cold against her skin and takes short measured drinks before replacing the cap and handing it off. Tightening her pony tail one last time she grabs the bass being handed to her and looks for her thumbs up that the opening act has cleared and they are on. Looking at the group they all nod and she puts on her smile. It’s time to start the show.
“GOOD EVENING NATIONAL CITY! HOW ARE WE TONIGHT?” Lena points the mic out to the crowd listening to the screams, her smile has already started to feel more genuine, the stage lights giving her a new warmth, the crowds surge of energy filling her. The nerves are not quite gone, she has to get through talking to the crowd first while the group gets to their respective places and she can start singing. Pushing the bass behind her, Lena walks further out on the stage where it parts through the waves of people pushed as close as they can get. She walks along brushing fingers with outstretched hands as she continues to speak into the mic. “Are you guys excited?” Lena holds the mic down towards people standing closest to her, letting them scream at the mic. “And what about all of you at the back?” Lena points the mic high above her head to the back of the stadium. “It takes a lot of dedication to walk up all those stairs” Lena gestures to herself and those on stage behind her, “so we thank you!”
Lena walks back to her mic stand, seeing the signal from Jess that they are ready. “National City it is good to be back! You guys know this is my home town, so it’s nice that I get to come back and sing with you all tonight.”
Lena scans the faces, as she secures her mic in the stand, looking from face to face, hoping to make each person feel special. She’s always a little nervous that she doesn’t take enough time to look at the crowd, too involved in the music to entertain. But they keep coming, so she must be doing something right. Her eyes glide over faces, quickly snapping back to one face. A blonde. A blued eyed, honey blonde, with the biggest, brightest smile she has ever seen. All sounds have muffled as Lena stares her hand still wrapped around the metal of the stand. And suddenly she is brought back to reality as the intro to the song is playing around her. Counting off in her head Lena leans into the mic and starts singing, her head turning to Jess off to her right and sings with her. Grinning as each other Lena takes her mic off bringing it over to Jess so they can sing cheek to cheek.
Returning to her stand, Lena replaces the mic before moving her bass back front and joins in with the band. Lena closes her eyes as she sings, focusing on the feel of the strings against her fingers and the music around her. She can feel the drum solo approaching, fades off the bass and the mic and lets Veronica take over as she scans the crowd. Lena tries not to, but her eyes find the blonde in the crowd in record time watching her sway her arms wrapped around the shoulders of two people Lena barely even registers. She smiles enjoying that the girl is so obviously loving the music, her eyes closed as she moves in beat with the drum.
Lena plays bass off and on the rest of the concert, using every opportunity she’s not to walk around the stage singing to random faces in the crowd. More then once seeking out the blonde and singing to her, or the people in her vicinity so she can sneak looks at the girl’s lips as she sings or lip-syncs with the songs. It’s hard to tell from so far away. But part of her hopes that she is singing. Part of her hopes that when she’s not paying attention, the girl is looking at her too.
The rest of the concert passes quickly. Suddenly Lena is wishing everyone a goodnight, trying to remember why she had been so nervous. The same question she asks herself after every concert without answer. Her shirt sticks to her back as she removes her strap and hands off her instrument, smiling at faces she can suddenly see now that nerves no longer fog her senses. Grateful as they take ear buds and hand her another bottle of water. Gulping greedily Lena empties the bottle and places it in a blue bin she passes as she walks down the concrete hall towards her dressing room, hoping she has time to change her shirt and fire off a tweet before meeting VIPs.
Sitting in front of a well lit mirror Lena stares at herself a moment trying to decide if she should take the extra time to wash off her makeup or just embrace the fresh off the stage look. Shrugging she slips off her shirt and grabs a similar one off a hanger sitting on a bar full of clothing options. It feels nice not to have her shirt clinging to her skin. A peek at her phone tells Lena there’s no time to deal with her make up or she keeps everyone waiting. One last look in the mirror and she smiles and shrugs, still riding the high from the concert and excited that the blonde might be in line tonight.
As the last few people talking to Jess, Lena, Veronica, and Maggie leave, Lena finally admits to herself that the blonde wasn’t a VIP tonight. Shifting in her chair she half listens to the group chat now that it’s just the four of them and pulls her phone out of the back pocket of her skin tight skinny jeans and brings up Twitter. After scrolling through the band’s hashtags for a few minutes she hits the compose button and rapidly fires off a tweet thanking National City for a fun night that is immediately met with a succession of likes and retweets. Hitting the compose button a second time Lena types another message and hits tweet.
To the girl in the middle of the crowd with the
blonde hair…dm me ;)

Sanvers: Alex and Maggie celebrate their anniversary
Three Years TogetherAlex proposed two years ago standing on the DEO balcony after the Daxamites tried to take over. Her smile was so hopeful and full of love that Maggie couldn’t help but smile back. Smiles that didn’t last very long as it all came crashing down with three little words. Not now Alex. They stood in silence long after Maggie apologized and told Alex she loved her but she just wasn’t ready. They stood in silence until Alex asked for space and went home alone that night.
The following weeks were filled with pain and tension and more then a few tears. Conversations turned into arguments until they both had had enough, realizing that they wouldn’t make it if they couldn't move on and move forward. So they moved in together, into a new dog-friendly apartment that was equal distance from the National City police department as it was from the DEO. And after a couple trips to the humane society they brought home Gertrude, a small mixed breed puppy with one floppy ear.In two years they had started creating their own routines and traditions. They started rotating game nights with Kara. Going out for Friday night dinners with Kara and Lena when they started dating. And spending their evenings hand in hand walking Gertrude around the block. They were building a home together.
