Breathless

Chapter 9

Summary:

18 months worth of chaos (introducing Mike Matthews)

Notes:

This chapter is supposed to be a breather. (What I thought) A creative way to show the passage of time in my fic

Did making this chapter fry my brain? Yes
Did I enjoy making it? Also yes HAHAHA

I tried my best to format this like a real messaging app. I apologize for the grammar and formatting mistakes.

Colleagues Or Lovers? Singer Supergirl (Kara Danvers) Sparks Dating Rumors With Actress Diana Prince -CatCo

Alex
@Winn
Did they get back together?

Winn
🤷‍♂️

Samantha
Wait Diana Prince is Kara's ex?

Nia
Wow this is so juicy 

Alex
Ex fling?
Didnt know the label
All I know was Kara had to move dorms before to avoid Diana because the girl kept on knocking on her door asking for another chance

Samantha
Lets chill
Maybe this is just some April Fool's scheme

👤 Luthor

AUG 19 AT 2:36 PM

(Alex)
You're sending Nia to Omsk?
That's nice of you, Luthor 

It's disheartening to see her mope around CatCo knowing that she won't be able to watch Kara 

Would you like to come?
I mean, you're a Superfan
I still have spare tickets
Kelly and mom are busy
You can watch with Sam or Andrea 

I don't think that's a good idea
Kara knows my feelings and I don't want to make things awkward 

Holy shit you confessed? 

Well, not directly 
I told Supergirl that I liked this friend 
That friend being her
And since she's Supergirl.... 

You give Kara too much credit Lena
Did you really think she figured it out?
That girl is oblivious as hell
