Chapter Text
The younger Danvers sighed and closed her books, deciding she had done enough studying for the day. Kara opened her laptop and logged on Facebook deciding to kill some time looking through her feed. She saw a post that Alex had liked about the concert they had attended the day before and, before she knew it, she was looking through the pictures. To her surprise, she found a picture of herself holding hands with Lena when they tried to get through the crowd to get outside.
“Wow your girlfriend is beautiful. Also really photogenic?” Alex said standing beside her sister.
“She's not my girlfriend!” The blonde mumbled blushing.
“Well, do you know if she's single then?” The brunette asked with a smirk.
“Alex!” Kara glared at her sister. “Why don't you go talk to Maggie?? She's probably single!” It was Alex's turn to blush, she mumbled something Kara didn't understand and got out of the room.
The blonde downloaded the picture thinking it was so nice she might as well save it. She noticed a familiar name had liked the picture and her heart skipped a bit. Lena Luthor’s face stared at her from the laptop screen and she debated sending a friend's invitation. She didn't want to look like a stalker, but she also wanted to talk to the punk girl again.
“Don't you think she's a little old for you?” Alex's teasing voice made the blonde jump.
“Alex!! You almost gave me a heart attack!” The older girl just smirked and bumped her hip lightly on her sister's chair.
“What were you thinking so hard about anyway?” Kara felt a blush starting and focused on her laptop like it was the most interesting thing ever to avoid her sister's eyes.
“Nothing, just you know… OH NO!!”
“What? What's wrong?” The blonde turned to her sisters with slightly panicked eyes.
“I sent a friend invitation to Lena!!!”
The blonde spent most of the afternoon panicking about accidentally sending the friend invite to Lena while Alex tried to make her see it was no big deal.
“It’s just a stupid invite Kara, not like you were looking at her oldest pics or anything like it.” The brunette sighed when she saw her sister expression remained the same. “Okay, so how about I send her one too? Then it will just look like we are the type of people who go around adding anyone to their facebook page.”
“Nooo, that’s… Alex no!” The older girl was already opening Kara’s laptop and opening the Facebook page.
“Hey, looks like your girlfriend accepted your request.”
“What!?” The blonde almost pushed her sister out of the chair in her haste to get closer to the screen, and right there was the notification that Lena Luthor had accepted her invite and they were now friends.
“Go on, let’s check her profile.” Alex said nudging her sister a little.
“What? No, I’m not going to stalk her.”
“Please, like you aren't curious. She is amazingly pretty, her car looks super expensive and she missed the end of the concert just to keep you company. That's not something you see everyday.” The brunette argued, her eyebrow raised challenging the other girl to disagree. “Plus, she already accepted the invite, it’s not like you're being creepy.”
“Fine.”
Turns out Lena was totally loaded by the looks of some of the pictures of galas and parties she’d attended and Kara thought she looked strange without her heavy make up, piercings and ripped clothes.
“She is a senior at that prep school on the other side of town.” Alex commented equally impressed and envious.
“She has a dog!!” Kara practically squealed when she saw a picture of Lena and a big Rottweiler. The older sister smiled amused at the blonde’s excitement and decided to leave Kara to her stalker ways and actually go do something productive.
It was Wednesday and Alex had her second period free. Usually she would use it to do any work she needed so she could have more free time at home, but today she was finding hard to concentrate; since the concert three days ago, Maggie Sawyer had been constantly on her thoughts. She couldn't stop thinking about that kiss and how it felt. She had barely seen Maggie in school this week and that wasn't unusual, it's not like they were close friends but Alex couldn't help but wish that night at the concert would change that.
“Hey Alex! Aren't you coming?” The brunette almost jumped startled by her friend's voice right beside her. Somehow she had spent her entire free period thinking about Maggie Sawyer, god she was pathetic, one kiss from a pretty girl and she was a mess.
“Yeah, of course!.” She said clearing her throat.
“Everything okay?” Susan asked with a trace of concern. “Yeah, I’m fine.” Damn Vasquez and her intuitive nature. “C’mon, I don't want to be late.”
At lunch time Alex and Vasquez joined Kara and her best friend Winn at their usual table. Lucy and her boyfriend James were also there already deep in conversation. Winn’s eyes lit up when he saw Vasquez and soon the two of them were deep in some kind of discussion about nerdy computer stuff Alex didn't care about. Kara was stuffing her face with pizza which meant she wasn’t really in any condition to contribute to the conversations. The brunette smiled amused at her sister’s antics but didn't comment, she didn’t mind the silence, well as much silence as one could get in a cafeteria full of teenagers.
“Hey Danvers!” Alex choked on her soda when she heard that voice that belonged to the face that had been tormenting her lately.
“Maggie.” She managed after a coughing fit.
“You okay there?” The short girl asked with concern.
“Yeah.” If she was being honest Alex wasn't okay, not with Maggie standing there looking at her with those perfect brown eyes and those fucking dimples. How could anyone be okay looking at Maggie Sawyer?
“Good.” The other girl said smiling. “So my friend said Mr. Johnson gives this big project every year that is worth like 30% of our grade and I was wondering if you would like to be my partner.”
Alex’s eyes widened with surprise, that wasn't what she was expecting at all. Well not that she was expecting anything. She was well aware that her friends were all watching them with curiosity, only Kara knew about the kiss so to have the Captain of the softball team at their table and publicly ask her about something she could definitely do at their shared class was not a common occurrence.
“Yeah, sure.” She said managing to sound like she wasn't screaming on the inside.
“Awesome! I’ll see you in class!” And with a parting wink Maggie was off leaving Alex with a dumb smile and a fluttering heart.
“Okay but what was that!!?” Winn asked loudly as soon as Maggie was out of earshot. The older Danvers just smiled and went back to her food.
It was finally Friday and Kara was counting the seconds so she could get out of this class and go see her sister. She wasn't proud of it but she had spent computer class looking at Lena’s Facebook page. She didn't know why but the dark haired girl was a constant presence in her mind, they hadn't talked much but still there was something about the other girl that intrigued the blonde. She looked so tough with her punk look but she only treated Kara with kindness and gentle smiles. And what smiles those were. Kara would’ve convinced herself that she had imagined Lena if she didn't have photographic proof. And Alex.
With all of that running through her head she couldn't help but try to learn more about the punk girl by looking at her Facebook page and while there she came up with a plan to see the other girl again.
When the bell rang, Kara almost ran out of class and all the way to where Alex's car was parked, which turned out to be pointless as Alex took her sweet time getting to her car.
“Hey, didn't you have that thing with Winn today?” The taller girl asked unlocking the car.
“Gosh! I forgot about that!” Kara exclaimed. “He is probably waiting for me!”
She started to walk back to the school when she remembered the reason she was waiting for her sister and had completely forgot about her plans with her friend.
“Oh did you see that that band you like, with the pretty transgender woman, is going to be in town?”
“Yeah, Maggie said something about that earlier.”
“So you're talking to Maggie now, hun?” The blonde asked with a teasing smile.
“We have a couple of classes together, you know?” Alex said but she couldn't hide the faint blush that covered her cheeks. “Anyway how do you know that?”
“Oh, you know, just saw online somewhere. Are you going?”
“Hm, I don't know. Maybe?”
Kara bit her lip trying not to sound so eager. “Can I come too?”
Alex’s eyebrows raised in surprise and she gave her sister a teasing smile. “Why? Are you planning on finding another punk girlfriend? Or maybe meet your punk girlfriend from last concert!”
“What?! Pfft, no. I just liked the last one and I liked that we could spend some extra time together!” The blonde babbled nervously.
“Yeah, right. You totally want to meet your punk girl again.” Alex said entering her car and closing the door.
“No, I don't!” Kara yelled after her sister. She totally did.
The light from her phone went out again probably for the tenth time in the last 10 minutes. Alex sighed, she felt like such a coward but she had never asked anyone out before, not that this was going to be a date... Or maybe it was. God she was a mess! It was just a concert, she just had to press Call and ask her, it wasn't that hard and she usually wasn't so anxious about making a phone call. Still here she was staring at her phone cowardly.
“Whatcha doing?” Kara asked entering the room.
“Nothing.” Alex said putting her phone away.
“Alex, what's wrong?” The blonde asked sitting beside her sister in the bed looking worried.
“Nothing, I’m just such a coward!” Alex exclaimed frustrated. Kara couldn't help but laugh, her sister a coward? No way.
“Alex you are one of the bravest people I know!” The blonde smiled fondly. “Remember when Winn was so scared about that abandoned house because someone said it was haunted and you went inside just to prove there was no such thing as haunted houses?” The brunette smiled at the memory.
“He was so scared I thought he was going to pee his pants.” They shared a laugh, both getting lost in memories for a few seconds.
“You were never a coward, Alex.” Kara said gently. ”Why are you thinking that now?” The other girl sighed not really wanting to reveal how much Maggie Sawyer confused her, but seeing the open and inviting expression on her sister's face broke her resolve. Kara was her best friend , it didn't matter that they were sisters or that the other girl was younger, she knew she could always count on her.
“I want to ask Maggie if she wants to go to the concert with me, but I don't know if she's going to think this is a date or if she even likes me or want to spend time with me. Sometimes she talks to me and she smiles like I’m the only girl in the world and other times is like she doesn't even know I exist!”
It felt so good to take that off her chest, she hadn’t realized how much she needed that.
“Do you want it to be a date?” Kara asked.
“No. Yes. I don't know. I mean I like her, a lot, but I’ve never really dated anyone, I don’t know what to do.”
“She seemed to like you last concert and she asked you to be her partner for that project, right?
“Yes, but the concert… could be just a one time thing? And she probably just partnered with me because we are the best at Mr. Johnson’s class.” Kara nodded tilting her head a little to the side in thought.
“You have good points but I think the only way you're going to know if she likes you is inviting her. You could just tell her you're going with me and ask if she want to come with us.” Alex ran a hand through her short hair and nodded defeated.
“You're right.” The blonde smiled and took her sister’s hand giving a light squeeze in support. Finding comfort in her sister’s presence Alex finally made the call.
The conversation was flowing easily inside the car and it made Kara smile from her place on the passenger sit. Maggie had such an easygoing personality and her banter with Alex flowed naturally, Kara doubted Maggie didn't like her sister from the way her face would light up every time Alex laughed.
Their chatter was a welcome distraction from her nerves, she had managed to convince Alex to drive them early without much problem, but now when they were a few minutes from the concert venue she was starting to doubt her plan. She didn't even know if Lena would actually be there, just because someone marked they would be going to some event on Facebook it didn't mean they were actually going.
“Hey Little Danvers, everything okay there?” Maggie asked with an amused smile.
“Oh, yes. Of course. I’m fine!”
“We are here Kara, I’ve been calling you for five minutes!” Alex said a little exasperated.
“Ooh, sorry! I was lost in thought.” The older girls got out of the car with Alex muttering a “Clearly” under her breath. Kara quickly followed them smiling apologetic at her sister.
“Nice!” Maggie exclaimed making the other girls turn to see what she was staring at. The blonde’s breath caught in her throat at the sight. Lena Luthor wearing black skinny jeans with a hole on her right knee, a black shirt that had the sleeves cut off, laughing, her hair pulled in a bun and holding a skateboard. Her eyebrow piercing almost glowed in the last rays of the setting sun and Kara could see the outline of some tattoos on her left arm. The other girl was just so effortlessly beautiful it made Kara’s heart skip a beat. She watched as Lena put her board on the floor after pushing the boy beside her teasingly out of the way and hopped on it, skating towards them. When the dark haired girl was close enough to notice her, Kara beamed and gave a little wave, happy that her plan had worked out. Lena looked completely surprised to see her there, so much so that she forgot to look where she was going, her board slammed on the sidewalk and she went crashing into the ground.
The tall brunette smiled at her friend excited face when the lights on the stage went out. Kara was squeezed on her left side distractedly looking around, obviously looking for the punk girl that had disappeared with her friends after greeting them outside. Alex mentally rolled her eyes, her sister was so transparent while thinking she was fooling anyone.
“Hey Danvers?” Maggie called loudly and waiting for the taller girl to bend slightly so she could reach her ear. “This time we're going backstage, you owe me!”
Alex laughed.
“I don't know about that, Sawyer.” The drummer took the stage and as their attention turned to him Alex felt that familiar rush from being in a concert and seeing one of your favourite bands, today made it even more powerful from having her sister and Maggie by her side to share this experience.
The music started loudly and Kara had to give up her search for the punk girl. She really hadn't thought this through. Her plan was go to the same concert Lena was and that was it, she hadn't planned what to do after that and after seeing the other girl looking so beautiful on her skateboard she had no idea what to say either. Lena had greeted them warmly but soon had wandered off with her friends making the blonde feel stupid for thinking the dark haired girl would just drop everything to talk to her like last time.
Kara was so lost on her thoughts that she was completely missing the concert, only aware of Alex and Maggie singing like crazy by her side vaguely.
“Hey!” A warm and smooth voice said in her ear. “Wanna get closer to the stage?”
It was Lena looking just as beautiful as she did before, green eyes sparkling with excitement. Before she even registered what the other girl was asking, she was nodding. Lena’s friends, two tall guys covered in piercings, smiled at her and started to force their way closer to the stage. Lena took the blonde’s hand and started guiding her through the crowd, Kara let herself be dragged away but thankfully remembered to pull her sister with her.
The girls soon found themselves so close to the stage they could almost touch it. The vocalist yelled the name of the next song and apparently it was a popular one because everyone around her yelled happily. This kind of thing wasn't really what Kara would normally do but seeing Alex, Maggie and Lena all singing and jumping and just enjoyed themselves brought a smile to her face and she decided to try and follow their example.
As the band started to play another one of the more known songs, Alex heard Kara yelling along with them and smiled, she was happy her little sister was enjoying herself. She turned back to the stage feeling the beat of the drum all through her body, this was her favourite part of every concert, how the music made her feel so alive and so in tune with everyone else. A sharp “Hey!!” coming from her sister interrupted her thoughts and she looked to her left to see Lena pulling some guy by the back of his shirt.
“What happened?” The taller girl asked.
“He touched my butt!” Kara exclaimed indignantly.
The guy still being held by Lena smirked in Alex's direction.
“Hey I was just enjoying the show, it happens! It was just a squeeze, no harm done!”
Alex felt a wave of rage, disgust and protectiveness hit her all at once and she didn't think twice before landing a solid punch on the guys face. He yelled and Lena let go of his shirt when he bend over clutching his nose.
“You crazy bitch! What the fuck!”
By now they had attracted attention and even the band had stopped playing and were trying to understand what was happening. The guy’s nose was dripping blood and he kept cursing under his breath trying to glare at Alex, that had taken a slightly defensive position before her sister and was just watching him in a calculated way. Two security guys arrived just then, one of them grabbed the guy's arm and started pulling him out if the crowd.
“You two, come with me.” The other one said motioning to Alex and Lena.
“Why? They were just defending her.” Maggie said indicating Kara. “He was the one groping girls!”
“I don't care.They disturbed the concert, they have to go.” The security guy sent them a hard look and made a gesture for them to hurry.
“Hey! No, let them stay! Let the girls fucking stay!” The vocalist yelled angrily. After a few seconds the guy left them alone and went back to his post, everyone cheered and the vocalist dedicated the next song to them.
“That was so badass Danvers! I didn't know you could throw a mean punch!” Maggie exclaimed impressed.
“There's a lot you don't know about me Sawyer.” The tall girl answered with a cheeky smile.
“Well I want to.” The other girl said seriously. “If you'll let me.”
“Only if you let me know you too.” Alex said almost shyly.
“It's a deal Danvers!”
The dimpled smile that followed Maggie’s words made Alex's heart skip several beats and for a second she forgot they were in the middle of a concert surrounded by people and she felt like the only girl in the world.
As the concert came to an end the four girls were still buzzing with some leftover excitement.
“So Danvers, ready to pay what you own me?.” Maggie asked with a wicked smile.
“Nope, I don't owe you anything, plus I think we’ve got into enough trouble for the night.”
Lena bumped her shoulder gently into Kara’s.
“What are they talking about?”
The blonde shrugged with a small smile still watching her sister's banter with the other girl.
“Fine, fine!” Alex exclaimed after an impressive puppy dog face made by Maggie. “Kara, Maggie wants to try to get into the backstage, wanna come with us?”
Kara fixed her glasses and looked at Lena. She didn't really care if they went backstage or not, she just wanted to spend some more time with the dark haired girl.
“I’m down!” Lena said smiling. “I’ve never actually met them even though I’ve been to a couple of other concerts.”
“Great! We’re all going!” Maggie exclaimed. “Also if you're going to be my friend I need to know your last name.”
Lena blinked a little startled by the comment directed at her but after a quick glance in Kara’s direction she gave Maggie a tiny smile.
“It’s Luthor.”
The shorter girl gave her a dimpled smile and started to pull them in the direction of the backstage. They made inside surprisingly easily with Maggie and Lena on the lead and the Danvers sisters hanging back.
“Hey! What are you doing here?!”
They stopped abruptly at the sight of a security guy.
“Oh we are just looking for the bathroom.” Lena quickly said with an innocent expression.
The security guy didn't look like he believed them.
“We really need to find the bathroom.” Maggie said getting closer to the guy and lowering her voice. “My girlfriend just got her period and she really needs the bathroom.”
She looked back at the girls and winked before taking Lena’s hand and interlacing their fingers.
The security’s eyes got bigger and he seemed to be debating with himself if he should let them pass or not. Kara felt something she didn't really have a name for it, but she just felt like that scene of Lena and Maggie holding hands was...wrong, somehow. She looked at Alex and her sister seemed to share her feelings, if the way she was staring at their hands with her jaw locked was any indication.
“Hey, you’re the girl who punched that asshole!”
They all turned to see the one and only vocalist. She made a gesture so the security would let the girls through and smiled at them.
“That was pretty badass.” She comment looking at Alex who was staring like an idiot.
“Thanks.” The girl in question reply so softly they almost didn't hear it.
The musician turned to Maggie, who was wearing the band's shirt, and before she could say anything Maggie blurted, “Sign my boobs!!”
The older woman laughed and was joined by Lena while the Danvers sisters looked shocked.
“I can do that, but I think it will last longer if I sign your bra?”
The short girl nodded and immediately lifted her shirt. Kara looked away from the girl’s toned abs and white bra and found her sister had no problems with staring intently.
They all got an autograph and a photo and the woman left them with a warm smile. After a short walk that was made mostly in silence they found themselves outside. Some people were still around in small groups, some were skating including Lena’s friends.
“Okay but that was awesome!!” Maggie exclaimed. “I can't believe she actually signed my bra!”
“Yeah, me neither.” Alex mumbled.
Maggie smiled and suggested they went to get some food which Kara was quick to accept, she was always in the mood for food. They found a open dinner and the four of them ordered. Maggie and Lena sharing impressed looks at the amount of food Kara could eat.
“Let’s take a pic, this night was awesome and I want something to remember it.” The shorter girl said, again Kara was quick to agree. She was really liking this side of Maggie.
They ate, talked and laughed and the blonde was surprised by how they all got along easily and the conversation was never awkward and never died.
The Danvers sisters arrived home way past their curfew, their parents were definitely not happy about it, but as Kara laid in bed and opened her camera file to look at the pictures of the night, she couldn't help but think it was all worth it. She had a lot of fun, so did Alex. Lena and Maggie looked happy too and that on Kara’s book was a good night.
