Established Maggie/Lucy with Alex crushing hardcore

Parkour au?

Grad school au?

Something like that

AO3

Alex slid into the booth, setting the pizza and tray of buffalo wings down as she did so. She had barely settled before a phone was thrust in her face. She stared at the picture of Maggie for a moment before looking up at Lucy with a raised eyebrow.

“That is a great lockscreen, but I do know what Maggie looks like.”

Lucy rolled her eyes as she pulled the phone back. She unlocked it, then thrust it back at Alex.

An unplayed YouTube video.

A familiar unplayed YouTube video.

She looked at Lucy again, schooling her face into confusion.

“Just watch it,” Lucy sighed. “Maggie and I found it last night.”

Alex glanced between the two, ignoring the way her chest always tightened around them, then played the video.

She watched as a person wearing a GoPro followed another as they ran across the roofs, jumping and rolling and vaulting.

Her and Kara.

“I want to do parkour,” Lucy announced through a bite of wing.

Alex glanced over the phone to see Maggie rolling her eyes.

“You are not doing parkour,” Maggie said.

“And who are you to stop me?”

“Your girlfriend.” Maggie took a sip of her beer. “Really though, it’s dangerous.”

Alex looked back at the phone to see the person do a wall pass before moving into a jump and landing on the edge of the skyscraper.

“Not to mention,” Maggie continued. “Trespassing in places.”

Lucy scoffed.

“Really,” Maggie pushed. She pointed at the phone. “Those two? They cross the L-Corp building constantly.”

“Well, Ms. Security Guard, what are you going to do about it?” Lucy asked.

The video ended. Alex passed the phone back.

“Maggie’s right,” she said, pulling a slice of pizza from the pie. “That’s dangerous as fuck.”

Lucy pouted. “That’s rude, you two aren’t supposed to team up against me.”

Maggie pressed a kiss to her cheek. “Get used to it, babe.”

“Oh, is Alex finally joining us for some fun?”

Heat rose up Alex’s cheeks even as it settled low in her stomach.

Maggie shoved Lucy lightly. “Leave her alone.”

Alex ducked her head, hoping to hide any disappointment.

“Anyway,” Lucy said. She pulled the phone towards her and put on another video before shoving it back towards Alex. “This channel is great. They’ve got all of these videos of their runs and a linked Instagram account with pictures.”

“Do you know who they are?” Alex asked.

Lucy shook her head.

“They always have those masks on,” Maggie answered. “Probably because they know it’s illegal.”

“Parkour itself isn’t illegal,” Alex absently replied, watching the new video – a simple run, the traceur not wearing the GoPro was wearing a bi flag t-shirt.

“You big on parkour, Danvers?” Maggie asked, tilting her head to the side.

Alex looked up from the video, eyes wide.

“Not…not really. The gym I go to has a parkour area…thing.”

Lucy grinned. “Really? So, could you help us figure out who these two are?”

“Why would I do that?”

“Cause I want to meet them?”

Alex rolled her eyes. “I don’t really do anything with any of that, sorry.”

Lucy huffed.

Alex glanced at the time in the corner of the phone screen.

“Crap, I gotta get to lab hours,” she said, shoving the textbooks piled at the other end of the table into her bag. “I’ll see you two later?”

“Of course.”

Alex glanced back when she reached the door.

Maggie was holding some of Lucy’s hair back as she kissed the side of her head.

Alex let out a small breath. Longing filled her chest before she pushed out of the restaurant.

“Can you hold it for another moment?”

Alex rolled her eyes. “Yes, Kara, I can hold for another moment.”

She stared at the bar a few feet below her. She focused on her breathing, on keeping her body still. She tried to not pay attention to the blood rushing to her head in her upside down position.

“And, done.”

At Kara’s words, Alex untwisted her body, then dropped off of the ledge she had been posing on to the roof a few feet below. She rolled into the landing, but let the momentum go, falling back onto the roof.

She stared up at the sky, at the clouds floating past, at Kara floating down, scrolling through the pictures she had taken. Alex pushed herself up as Kara floating right to a seated position.

“I like this one,” Kara said, passing the GoPro over.

Alex pulled her mask down to hang from her neck.

The picture was good, capturing the strength and control she was using thanks to her sleeveless shirt. Her hair fell in front of her face, leaving just the rainbow mask visible. The city and ocean and dawn sky framed her.

“It’s good,” she said. “Post it.”

She passed the GoPro back, looking towards the city. She scooted closer to the edge of the roof, letting her legs hang down. She stared out, at the ocean meeting the sky.

“Maggie and Lucy found the channel,” she said.

“Really?” Kara asked, scooting up next to her.

Alex nodded. “Lucy wants to figure out who we are.”

“That would be bad, right?”

Alex shrugged. She pulled the mask from her neck, staring down at it in her hands.

“Have you thought any more about telling them?” Kara asked, voice soft.

Alex traced the colors of the rainbow back and forth. Had she thought about it? Of course she had. She thought about it every time she saw them.

But…

“I don’t know. If I come out, I can’t take it back, you know? It’s out there and, and…”

“Real?”

Alex looked to Kara, then nodded.

“It is real, Alex,” Kara said. “This part of you is real.”

“I know, I know. I just…not yet, okay? I’m just not ready yet.”

“Okay. When you are, I’m here for you, alright?”

“I know.”

Alex pressed a kiss to Kara’s temple, then put the mask back on.

“Last one to the ground buys dinner tonight,” she said before rolling backwards to get on her feet and racing across the roof, diving right into a flip across the gap between the next building.

Sometimes when it’s slow, Supergirl hangs out at the skate park

Oh you KNOWWWW I’m gonna headcanon the everloving crap out of this:

Alex goes through a skating phase. She’s out of it by the time Kara arrives, but she still has a couple boards. Kara finds them and can’t stop asking questions. Alex takes her to the skate park for some show and tell but soon learns she has to physically sit with Kara to remind her not to go try. (A kid that faceplants with zero injuries or a kid who flies when the board gets away from them, which is more suspicious?)

So Alex takes her in the dead of night. The summer before they go to college especially, Alex gets nostalgic and sad she’s leaving so they go skating at 3 am, like, twice a week. And Kara can master all these physics, so she watches a YouTube video like once and masters the most insane tricks.

Fast forward several years and she’s Supergirl. Whenever Kara’s really homesick, Alex doesn’t know how to deal with it either. So she finds a skatepark and drags Kara there at 4 am until Kara starts to smile.

Winn finds out after Alex comes in early one morning with some splinters because of Kara breaking the fifth board that year and she was picking up the pieces. Winn builds her a board out of titanium alloy and trucks that’ll actually hold up to the weight she puts on them, plus wheels that are soft enough they won’t damage the concrete when she lands, and they’re self-healing in shape. It’s also decked out with some super-awesome Supergirl designs.

And Kara’s thrilled. Alex wants one immediately. (Winn is the crowd favorite at Christmas that year)

Kara’s flying back from a fire on a Saturday afternoon and happens to see some kids trying to master a trick at her favorite skate park and having a tough time of it…

The third Saturday afternoon of every month at a certain skate park, kids know they can get free skating lessons on the absolute hardest tricks from Supergirl herself—and she’s a really good, patient, encouraging, and helpful teacher. It’s one of the better kept secrets of National City’s resident hero. (Sledding help, she leaves to Guardian and his shield)

And if skate shops everywhere see an uptick in requests for Supergirl logos on their decks and helmets and knee pads and bandaids, well, that was a long time coming anyway.

After swooping in to save no less than fifty kids in an afternoon from a nasty spill as they try new tricks, Supergirl has a veritable army of slightly grungy and ripped-jeans 6-16 year olds ready to go to war if anyone badmouths her.

And after the RedK incident, they’re the ones that help her find peace with herself first. We all get pissed sometimes, a fifteen year old with blue hair tells her. We all do things we regret. You just gotta get back on the board and remember that you love the sport. She sometimes wonders if she even needed forgiving in their eyes.

AHHH!! It got something written for it!!! It’s amazing! This is so great. (Tbh I did have the soccer headcanon in the spirit when I was drawing this).

headcanon time

wishful-thinkment:

so everyone thinks that kara’s this sweet kid who never uses language stronger than ‘hell’ and ‘goddamn’, but when she’s really frustrated she sometimes goes off in kryptonese and no one knows what she’s saying, until one day clark and astra are there, and alex asks them to translate, and clark just goes bright red and refuses because, honestly, it’s filthy and some of the anatomy involved doesn’t really translate, and astra asks him why he’s looking at her, because she didn’t teach kara how to say that (even though she probably totally did)

supergirl headcanon so what if Clark doesn’t know any slang because he learned kryptonese through manuscripts and videos and other boring educational avenues so when Alex asks him to translate Clark only gets half of it because ‘that’s not supposed to do that’ ‘why would Kara start talking about prostates?’ Astra sort out of looks at Clark and mourns the loss of kryptonian culture even if it’s super vulgar she sees it as a form of poetry she’s touched Kara remembered some of the choice phrases from years ago and is impressed with the depraved phrases kara’s come up with since because that really /isn’t/ supposed to do that when Astra busts out laughing it’s kara’s turn to go bright red because she’s not used to anyone picking that up later they spend time trading and honing the insults and curses they’ve picked up over the years they have crash courses to teach Clark when he’s in town via stuffidontneed

# and alex is surprised because while kara did teach her a little bit of the language  # she had no idea that kara kept all the good insults to herself via @karaalex

alex being, not just surprised, but insulted and a tiny little bit betrayed and the next time, just before they spar in the ring, she slugs her in the shoulder because do you know how much i needed to cuss that alien out that one time, kara, because it was a lot, kara, and i’m your sister, gdi, and you kept this from me, and all those times i got in trouble for swearing as a kid, while you were saying that behind the vice-principal’s back!? how dare you
