Supergirl ~ Schott Through The Heart ~ Part One

***

Kara set her jaw as she paced in front of her friends and family at the alien bar. "I know some of you are scared," she said. "I know some of you have never done this before. I know some of you are ready to get out there and prove yourselves. But just remember why we do this." She walked past James, Alex, J'onn, M'yrnn, and ended up in front of Winn. "We do this for the people."

Winn smirked and held up a mic lighting up in different colors, and Kara grinned, grabbing it.

***

That was how she ended up on stage singing to the Beastie Boys and dancing like a maniac.

"Please tell me you're sending this to Oliver," James snickered.

"Oh, most likely," Winn laughed, trying to keep his phone steady.

Kara continued belting out, almost making Alex fall out of her seat laughing.

She caught sight of Mon-El entering just as she started dancing the robot, and he grinned and laughed when he saw her, Kara returning his smile. She just strutted down off the stage and held the mic out to James. "Your turn," she said smugly.

James grinned in response, took the mic, and headed to the stage.

***

As it turned out, James was much better than any of them anticipated. he sang smoothly, making Kara's jaw drop and her sway to the beat.

"Take your shirt off!" Winn called.

Kara laughed as James smirked.

***

Alex sang, even though she was close to falling off the stool she was sitting on.

"Oh," Kara frowned. "Who let her pick this song?"

Alex continued, then held up a finger and took a sip of her drink, making Kara wince.

***

J'onn tried his best, making Alex grin and Kara rock side to side. He stopped, then held out his hand. "Here we go, come on, Pops!" Alex, James, and Winn immediately raised their glasses in agreement, cheering M'yrnn on. "Pops, come on!"

M'yrnn rose to the challenge, surprising all of them. he sang, making Kara gawk and mock bowing as Alex giggled.

James chuckled and headed to the bar to refill his drink, meeting Mon-El over there. "Hey, so I've been meaning to ask after seeing what Imra can do," James said. "So she's telepathic?"

"No, it's kinetic," Mon-El shook his head. "She moves stuff, not reads minds. Unless it's really broadcasted, I guess."

"That's kind of a cool party trick," James smirked. "Can she move you?"

Mon-El snorted. "Yeah, she's pretty impressive."

"Well, she's gotta be," James nodded. "You never were into wallflowers."

Mon-El nodded. "So, what about you, huh?"

"You know, same old same," James shrugged. "You know, work is work."

"You seeing anybody?"

"No," James shook his head.

Mon-El nodded as he took a drink. "So you have the same reason to be checking your phone every fifteen seconds as everyone else?"

"Lena," James nodded. "Sam's had such an impact on everyone, and to know that she's . . . you know."

"Yeah," Mon-El nodded immediately. "I get that. Has she said anything?"

"No," James sighed. "And when she said anything, it's been really short."

"Well," Mon-El held up his beer bottle. "Here's hoping she'll have something soon."

"Here's hoping," James agreed, tapping his bottle against Mon-El's.

The bar erupted in cheers as M'yrnn finished, then Winn grabbed Kara's arm. "I gotta pick a song. Come on, come on, help me!"

Kara scurried after Winn as M'yrnn came down from the stage, hugging J'onn when he did. "See?" J'onn grinned proudly. "I told you you had nothing to worry about!"

"Karaoke is not for the weak," M'yrnn declared as he sat down. "It requires either great courage or a complete lack of shame . . . but I it!"

Alex laughed, putting her drink down. "You do a killer rock star."

"I listen to it sometimes while I look after the apartment," M'yrnn explained.

"Oh, yes, yes, you have a stunning apartment," Alex smiled, then eyed J'onn. "That I haven't been invited to yet."

J'onn blinked, pausing in lifting his drink, then hastened to explain. "Oh, we're still getting it together."

"It's been Alex deadpanned. "OK, I think it's time for a housewarming party."

"I don't think so," J'onn shook his head.

"Yes, the house's temperature is quite comfortable," M'yrnn nodded.

J'onn turned to look back at Alex, who kept looking at him, and he finally caved. "Well, we do dinner."

"Oh, you know me well," Winn grinned as Kara giggled, pointing out a song in the book. "Yes, that's the one. Here we go!"

"It's gonna be so good!" Kara squealed, barely holding in her excitement as Winn went up to the stage.

"Hey, hey," Mon-El hurried to reach her.

"Hi," Kara smiled at him.

"Hey, can we talk real quick?" Mon-El asked. "It's, uh, kind of important, and with everything that happened in Star the last few days . . . "

"Yeah, yeah, of course, in a second," Kara nodded, turning around. "Uh, Winn's about to melt our faces off."

"Right," Mon-El nodded, turning around to watch as well.
