Danvers Sisters prompt :D Alex gets diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis. It makes it hard to walk, and she hates the independence it takes from her, not to mention it takes her out of the field when she’s flaring. Most days she’s okay, sometimes she isn’t. Kara does her best to help Alex deal, like giving her a piggy back on days she hurts. Maybe other DEO members trying to cheer her up too?

“My favorite desk jockey!” Lucy leans against Alex’s desk, grinning widely. Alex glares at her, but her glee doesn’t fade. “Why the sour look?”

Alex says nothing, but the screen behind her shows Supergirl doing some hefty damage to an alien. Lucy shrugs, knowing full well what Alex would prefer to be doing at that moment in time. She also knows better than to ask if the redhead has taken some medication because of course she has.

“Bad day?”

Alex nods. “Left leg this time.”

“Ouch.”

This prompts a laugh from the otherwise morose agent. “Yeah.”

“You’re antsy, aren’t you? All that energy and nowhere to put it, huh?”

“Well, yeah.” Alex slumps against her arms and frowns at the DEO agents swarming the now disabled alien. “I was so good…”

“You still are.” Lucy smacks her shoulder. “Self-deprecation isn’t sexy, Alex.”

She perks up, curious. “Huh?”

“All I’m saying is that there’s other ways to get that energy out.” Lucy winks and walks away. “You know where to find me.”

Alex isn’t sure that really happened. She stares after Lucy and tries to calm herself before Kara gets back to base, but she’s unsuccessful. Had Lucy basically invited her to have sex? Did she want that? Well, that’s a silly question; Lucy has a smile to die for, and she’s literally one of the only people who can keep up with her.

“Al, are you okay?” Kara swoops to her side, touching her right elbow.

“Fine!” She answers a bit too high-pitch and clears her throat. “I’m fine. That was some nice work bringing that alien in.”

Kara shrugs. “It was a misunderstanding.”

“A misunderstanding with a mean uppercut. I wish I could have been there with you. I could have helped.”

“I know. And when you have good days, you totally will again. And even if you’re at the desk, you’re doing important work, y’know?”

“Is this a repeat of senior year, seeing the results of the musical auditions? There are no small parts, just small actors?”

Kara slips her arms around Alex’s shoulders. “Something like that. But really. I don’t care what you do as a job. You, Alex Danvers, are important, especially to me.”

“Thanks, Kar.”

“So, what had your heart racing so fast?”

“Uh, I think Major Lane might have been flirting with me?”

“She has been for the past year,” Kara replies. She shakes her head and sighs. “But I’m glad you’re finally noticing.”
