You're Uninvited

Chapter 9

Kara's P.O.V.

It's been a few weeks since the double date with Maggie and Alex and things couldn't be better. Lena and Alex are getting along better with each passing day, Maggie has become somewhat of a gay guidance counselor I didn't know I needed.

I was walking back into Catco after another lunch break spent in Lena's office, and I felt like nothing could knock me off the high that woman gives me. But alas I should have known better, something would try and knock the happiness out of my heart. And it came in the form of James.

Seeing him all but marching towards my office with a look of utter anger on his face, I am all but reminded of why I put off telling him about Lena and I, and why I swore everyone to secrecy. While somewhere deep down I knew Alex would come around, would see that Lena made me happier than I have ever been, James would only ever see a Luthor. I wasn't sure James could get passed his prejudices to see what Alex was beginning to see.

As he let himself into my office, he at least having the decency to shut the door, he stood before my desk where I was seated and cross his arms, seemingly trying to make himself larger than he was. "Kara, what the hell were you thinking?"

Deciding to play dumb, I ask, "About what, James?" my eyes never straying from his hardened stare.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about Kara," he whispered harshly, his teeth barring. "Lena? Really? What the hell do you think Clark is going to do when he finds out about this?"

"If Clark finds out from anyone but either myself or Lena, I will hold the responsibly party fully accountable for divulging information that was not theirs to divulge, James" I stand up and cross my own arms. "Are you going to be that person?"

"No, because I'm hoping you will see the error of this choice before Clark ever finds out. Kara, that family hates yours with a burning passion that drives them insane."

"Shocking then isn't it, that Lena and I have been together for near a year now, we barely spend a day apart, and she is as sane as ever. It's almost like she's not like her family at all, just like I've been saying from the start." I can see the moment it hits him, the length of my relationship with Lena, and what I thought would help him see that there wasn't a bad intention towards me from the last Luthor, all it did was seemingly enrage him further.

"A fucking year, Kara?! Are you insane, she knows, doesn't she? She knows you are Supergirl?" my silence is answer enough. "You see, this is why Clark sent me to National City, to watch over you, and I thought I was doing a decent job, but then you tell me that you are shacking up with that devil woman. She is playing a long con on you Kara and the fact that you can't see that is scary. There is not a signal good thing in that gene pool, and whether the world knows it or not, that woman is half Luthor. She will turn on you when she has everyone around you thinking she is on our side. I won't let that happen, I won't let what happened between Lex and Clark happen to you. Lex almost killed your cousin Kara, almost KILLED him! What about that do you not comp..."

I raise a hand, and thankfully it is enough to get him to stop his rant. I pinch the bridge of my nose and sigh before I look up at the man who once captured my heart in a school girl kind of way. "I have one question James. One question and I want an honest answer. Can you do that?"

"Yes."

"Will you ever be okay with my relationship with Lena?" I ask, never looking away from his eyes, hoping to see what I so badly want to believe, but alas I see only distrust.

"No, I will never be okay with this."

"Then you can see yourself out, Mr. Olsen." I sit back down, starting to go over the corrections laid out by Snapper.

"You are choosing her over your friendship with me? She's already starting to separate you from everyone who loves you." he tries to argue.

"You are the only one with a problem with her, even Alex is warming up to Lena. You are driving yourself away." I sigh again before looking up at him. "Look James, I'm tired of fighting to get people to see why my loving Lena isn't a bad thing. So, I'm done, I'm letting go of those that don't support me, even if they have reservations about my life choices, they let me make them. It's my life, and I'm choosing to live my life with Lena Luthor, and damn anyone who wants to fight me on that, because I am done. Lena knows I love her with everything I have in me, and I know she loves me with all her fractured parts. So good-bye Mr. Olsen, my door is open when you are ready to accept that."

His jaw hangs open as he stares at me, seeing that I am dead serious and not changing my mind. I watch as his shoulders slump as he begins to walk out of my office. "And Mr. Olsen," he turns around with a bit of hope. "You are uninvited to any future game nights until you pull your head out of your ass...IF that day ever comes."

And with a final slam of my office door, James is gone, and I can't help but wonder if he is gone forever. I pick up my phone and dial Lena's number.

"Hey, I just wanted to call and say I love you." and hearing her soft voice whisper it back lightens my heart from the cloud that descended on it just minutes ago.
