Alex stared at her for a long second, eyes blinking slowly, unimpressed.

Kara’s back was turned, blissfully unaware, still doing the dishes. Still singing, and Lena offered a slow smile to Alex before dropping her chin into a hand.

“Give up yet?” She tried.

Alex rolled her eyes, turning back to her screen, “No.”

“Shame.”

Alex laughed then, grinning to herself and Lena felt dread for a moment. Alex only grinned when she had a plan, a good one, and- her good plans were always devastating for her opponent.

“You really should pay attention. Aren’t you a pro-gamer?” Alex asks.

Lena squinted at her own screen, aiming her gun for a split second to take a precise shot- and three people go down at once. There was a brief moment in which they screamed into their mics at her before they were cut off.

“Why?” Lena felt suspicion begin to grow.

“Because-” Alex turned to her, holding a single button, and let her grin grow, “-I win.”

“What? My team is ahead by fifteen-”

“Open map.” Alex retorted snorting.

Lena didn’t get a chance to reply or retort. Her character on-screen went down in a blaze of explosions and Lena understood entirely.

Her hubris was her downfall.

The map was open, with sparse buildings, and Alex- well. She saved a score streak. For a fucking gunship, and when she called it in she took control. Alex wasn’t precise, but she didn’t have to be. She just had to hit close enough.

And Lena scrambled as she respawned and her team seemed to fall one by one. She can never make it far enough, and by the time she decided to rush for the last six kills- Alex targeted her. Killing her over, and over.

By the end of it, Lena is left glaring at her screen.

She’d had so much fun teasing Alex. She was virtually untouchable with a long-range weapon in hand, but Alex, much like herself- learned quickly. She’d started staying back and ignoring Lena’s jabs about being scared. She’d racked up enough kills- and it had worked.

It worked. And Lena had to buy her a new car. Bets.

Fuck.

“See, Luthor?” Alex laughed. Reaching over to smack her arm, earning a glare from Lena. “Paying attention, it works. There’s a reason my tag is acti0nher0.”

Lena huffed, “Rematch.”

“No.” Alex laughed, standing up from her chair. “I know better. You can sit and suffer in your agony, that a normal person, with a normal job, could beat you.”

Lena sunk further into her chair, frowning as Alex moved towards the kitchen. Humming a victory song as she did.

Lena, however, was slowly plotting her murder in the next game.

“Lena?” Kara asked, waving a hand in front of her girlfriend’s face.

Lena’s eyes slowly shifted from Kara’s left bicep- and really it was kind of distracting -to her face. She blinked just as slowly and tilted her head just a little.

Kara still had Lena’s snapback on, with her team’s logo. It was simple, just a simple diamond with a metallic L running through the middle of it. It was old, so it wasn’t impressive, but Kara had wanted it. Lena dropped it onto her head, backward, and smiled when Kara bounced away excitedly.

Lena’s eyes shifted back to the bare bicep again, and she was aware Alex snorted across the park table at her.

It wasn’t even- Lena had eyes, of course, she did. Kara was built well, but when they’d first met at a party Brainy hosted- and Lena didn’t know Kara was friends with Brainy’s girlfriends, Nia -she’d worn a sleeveless shirt like she was now, and Lena had walked into a sliding glass door. So the foolery had already gotten out of the way.

What was shocking, aside from how on earth, Kara had gotten a sunshine yellow and pink flannel shirt, with no sleeves, was- the almost crude drawing of a dinosaur on her bicep. It was drawn in different colors, like a rainbow, but it was big and sitting on her bicep. Its long tail extending a couple of inches across her bicep. The tip was red.

“You have a tattoo?” Lena asked, curiously.

Kara glanced down at her shoulder, before looking back up and smiling with an enthusiastic nod.

“Yeah! It’s really cool, actually,” Kara shifted to lean forward across the table, letting Lena see it properly with a grin. “I had a fan a few months ago, draw it! His mother sent it to me and told me he was really sick and asked if I could show it off. You know, to make him happy?”

“She meant, on your Instagram,” Alex interjected, amusedly.

“I did!” Kara argued, with s whispering, “eventually.”

Lena smiled then, leaning forward to rest her chin in one of her hands, and reach her free hand out to graze the dinosaur with her thumb. Kara’s grin turned into a soft smile as she did.

“So you got it tattooed?”

Kara shrugged, still smiling, “I thought it’d be cool.”

It was a sweet story and very Kara. Kara wasn’t one for tattoos on her person, personally, but she appreciated them. Of course, this would be one of the only ways she’d get one.

“So are you going to keep creepily touching my sister in front of me or-”

Kara ducked her head as Alex spoke.

Lena, however, turned her head slowly and rose an eyebrow.

“Do you want a real answer?” Lena challenged.

Alex snorted, again, however, smiled as she rose her water bottle and took a drink. It was nice, at least, to be sort of friends with Alex.

Kara couldn’t look either of them in the eyes.

Kara squinted, hard at her screen. Leaning forward as she did, and Lena was almost concerned she’d fall out of her chair.

Except- this time, she bent her head down to look over her glasses and sighed. Tiredly. It didn’t bode well for Lena either, because this was the fourth time that-

“Lena?” Kara questioned, turning her head.

Lena glanced at her, before looking back at her own screen for a moment as a team of four tried to rush them. Really, it was adorable, Kara was trying to protect her so seriously in a video game.

She didn’t need it, but her death ratio had been down a lot since Kara had learned how to play an effective support player. Hilariously, better than the support players on her professional team, but she suspected that was because Alex was helping her learn so she wouldn’t be a hindrance.

No matter how many times Lena had told her, it didn’t matter as long as they had fun, Kara had been serious about learning it.

“Yes?” Lena answered.

“Could you move-” Kara paused, counting to herself before looking back at Lena’s screen, “-six steps to the right when I tell you to? And then hip-fire, I think is the right word, with your sniper at a direct forty-five-degree angle to your left?”

“Immediately after?”

“Yes- now!”

Lena didn’t question Kara. She did as asked, moving her character exactly six steps and then hip-firing as she turned twice.

In the top-right corner, a notification popped up informing the entire lobby that lzbnluthr and in fact killed acti0nher0. With a headshot, no less. It was impressive.

Not even a second later, a shot came from Alex’s room, “God damn it Luthor!”

Lena stared, impressed at her screen, and chuckled as Kara leaned back in her recliner, to yell back- “Stop using the same tactics! It’s predictable!”

“It’s not fair that you’re both geniuses!”

Lena laughed then, sitting her controller in her lap as the rest of their team rushed for the last few kills and won the game.

Kara turned, in her seat to give Lena a grin. She was met, however, by lips pressing to her cheek gently. She sat in shock, as Lena sat back in her chair and smiled adoringly.

“Thank you, and Alex is right by the way.”

“About what?”

“You’re a genius.”

Kara smiled, ducking her head.

The only thing Kara could reply with was, “you’re a genius.”

Lena laughed at that.
