Super Alex

The elevator door opens to the sounds of shouting.

Kelly sighs fisting her hands deeper into the pockets of her jacket as she steps out following the sounds of her girlfriend's voice toward its source. As soon as she reaches the heart of the control room however she slows her mouth hanging open in shock at what she sees.

After all, it wasn't every day that you walk into your girlfriend's work for a lunch date and find not one but two of her standing in the middle of the control room looking tensed, fists resting on their hips in that cute 'power pose' of hers and both looking ready for a fight. Even in National City, it was unusual, and this was a city literally overflowing with costumed wearing crime fighter superheroes.

"Um….Alex?"

They both turn toward her moving in such sync that Kelly has to fight not to laugh aloud. "What?" they ask again in unison. Really the only way to tell them apart, apart from their wardrobe was their hair as they glare in her direction.

The Alex on the right had black wavy hair longer than Kelly guessed her Alex could stand having her hair although it was currently pulled into a loose ponytail and a wardrobe that seemed to be stolen directly from her younger sister's closet or at the very least Clark's closet.

Right down to the adorable nerd glasses and dark green flannel button-up she had tucked into her jeans.

The Alex on the left was one Kelly was used to seeing. Tactical gear an all.

It was this Alex that smiled in greeting with a soft. "Hey, babe." Whilst the Alex on the right narrowed her eyes and seemed to be fighting to keep a scowl off her face as her double leaned in to press a kiss against Kelly's cheek when she was close enough to reach.

"What's um what's going on?"

Dark-haired Alex rolled her eyes as arms crossing tighter over her chest. The move drawing Kelly's eyes like a moth to a flame. Alex has always been toned and muscled but this Alex. God if Kelly didn't know any better, she would swear that this newer Alex was as strong if not stronger than the Girl of Steel herself given the flexing muscles under her shirt.

"Oh, you know just another day in National City. Fighting crime. Meeting your doppelganger whilst she saves your ass when your other sister was busy fighting some weird giant fuzzy blue plushy thing...again." The tactical gear clade Alex joked breaking out of her more serious persona as her arms side around Kelly's waist.

Something that seemed to really upset said double of the hard set of her jaw was any indication as she pushed her black rimed glassing higher up her nose. Another trait she seemed to have picked up from Kara and to a lesser exact Clark.

"I come bearing food." Kara's cheerful tones announce as the hero herself lands with a weird grace on the balcony her arms laden with food bags. Even more of them than she would usually bring for a 'lunch date' with Kelly and her sister.

That was the only time 'country clade' Alex smiled or sown any emotion other than annoyance since Kelly had joined them as she heads over to help her sister. "Please tell me you…." She started to ask but Kara rolled her eyes with a playful board look whilst she allows 'country Alex' to take some of the food bags into her arms.

"Of course, I got extras who do you think I am some kind of monster?"

Alex.2's eyes light up even more as if Kara had just offered her a new deadly weapon instead of a greasy bag of something edible as the pair lead the way toward the stairs then up to an empty conference room.

"This must be something for you huh?" Kelly wonders as they all settle around the table.

She and her Alex on one side. Kara and 'other Alex' on the other. The dual Alex's amusingly picking the seats across from one another

"Yeah. Just what I needed today of all days." The Alex across the table answers in an emotionless tone "not only do I almost get my ass kicked by a giant blue fuzzball but also I somehow get sent to and stuck on some other version of Earth." Alex .2 grumbles into her tub of chicken fried rice

"Why would today of all days be bad for something like this?" Kara questioned pausing with a potsticker halfway to her mouth as she looks over at her sister's twin.

"It's our first official anniversary Kara and I'm not there." 'Super Alex' asks with a puppy-like whine that has Kelly's heartbreaking to hear. Her upset turning into surprised pain when she adds a pitiful "Rao she must think I've forgotten or that I've just chosen not to remember considering the huge fight we have this morning before she went to work."

"Hey, Hey, I'm sure she doesn't think that. Regardless of whatever your fight was about." Kara jumps in resting a hand over the Alex closest to her. "And we will find a way for you to get home. I promise." She adds sliding an arm around the other woman's shaking shoulders.

Kelly's eyes go to the empty space on the identifying finger of Alex's left hand conveniently holding the plastic spork as Alex.2 stairs miserably into her barely touched container of food whilst simultaneously leaning against their Kara's shoulder drinking in the comfort she offered. "You're not wearing a ring." She comments taking a sip from her water.

"We haven't found the right ones yet." Alex waved off "and come on we don't really need them when we know what we are to one another and I mean come on we already have the more permanent kind of bands we don't need the jewelry kind." Her twin admits as if picking up on a part of the argument she'd mentioned.

"What do you mean you already have 'the more permanent kind of bands'?" Kelly asked instantly feeling her heartbeat tick up as she watches Alex's hand go toward the buttons on the front of her shirt.

A squeeze from the hand holding her own pulls her attention to the Alex sitting on her side of the table. "Down girl." Her Alex scolds making Kelly blush and drops her eyes to the tabletop and Kara's cheeks to color up as she hummed under her breath as if she were trying to drown out the sound of Kelly's quickening heartbeat in her ears.

It was Kara's rather tearful sounding gasp that has the couple looking back across the table a half-second after. Second Alex's top half is now clad in a tank top leaving more of her toned skin on display for Kelly's appreciative gaze.

"Oh Rao Alex, is that?" the blonde hero asks her eyes glassy with tears as she like Kelly and their Earths Alex get a look at the beautifully and rather intercity designed band tattooed the width of the other Alex's upper right arm with a smaller looking ideal band tattooed on her left wrist that up until then had been hidden under the cuff of the plaid shirt she had been wearing.

"Of course, it is. I mean what's a wedding without hers and hers tattoos?" Alex commented with a proud smile making Kelly clench her legs together under the table when her arm flexed again this time without the cover of clothes getting in the way of the rippling muscles under her delicate skin making the intricately and almost fire like runes running the length of the band dance like licks of fire around her arm.

The background is a dusty mix of sapphire blue and black highlighting the mixed orange and ruby red of the spark like marks encircling her arm. What really drew Kelly's eye was the topaz crest sitting like a scotch colored diamond in the center of this fiery band.

The symbol of the House of El.

"But how?" the Alex at her side wondered sharing a look with Kara across the table.

Her twin grimaced before she answered. "First I had to burn out then get burned….it was the only way to make them stick." She admitted seeing her twin and her sister flinch in sympathy. "Yeah, Not fun but." She sighed looking back at the image. "Worth it. They all were."

"All?" Alex squeaked and even Kara looked intrigued

"I have four in total." Her twin nodes "These two." She nodes to her arms. "Then two others." Her eyes moved to Kara then her eyes slide always in warning to meet Kelly's before she adds. "The other two are for my wife's eyes only."

"What?" Alex asks at the looks of surprised awe on the other three faces in the room as her fingers brush against her precious tattoo. "My wife is the most human equivalent of actual sunlight I've found on my Earth. She is so warm and companionate but also so deadly at the same time." Alex gushes in explanation nothing but loving pride in her eyes as she speaks. "She has pulled me back out of my darkest days so many times like the firecracker she is just like I try to do for her. Every day she keeps reminding me of why I do what I do even when it may end badly."

Kelly felt a mix of honor and curiously jealousy twisting in the pit of her stomach as Alex's eyes find and hold her own as she speaks then goes back to gazing adoringly at the image on her arm. "Why shouldn't that same sunshine be reflected in our wedding band?"

Kara is crying out right now and even the Alex at Kelly's side is tearing up watching her twin pulling her sister into a rather bone-crushing looking hug as she murmurs to her in a language Kelly doesn't understand.

She guesses its Kryptonian, but she can't be sure.

"Oh that. Well, officially its April 4th but to those that aren't in our inner circle, we went with November 28th. So really it's like we get to celebrate two anniversaries every year instead of one." Alex laughed changing back to English when she and Kara finally pull apart.

Kelly nods in agreement at that. "But today is April 4th." She gasps in realization.

"My point in wanting to get home as fast as possible yes." Darker haired Alex agrees with a harsh bite in her voice her eyes even glowing orange before she blinks, and the fire is gone.

They lapse back into silence after that the two 'supers' polishing off most of the spread between themselves.

"I'll be in the lab." Alex.2 announced pushing away from the table as she pulls the checked overshirt back on much to at least Kelly's disappointment.

What seemed like seconds after she stepped out of the room the sounds of muffled, yet blaring music could be heard from the direction of…Winn's lab?

"Rocket Man?!" Kara determined with a grin. "Oh, sorry Rocket Woman." She corrects with a giggled smile as she swipes the last potsticker from the pack before her older sister had a chance. "Good choice." Kara praises as she chews.
