Chapter Two

Malcolm

"You know, all those years ago when you told me you were going to introduce me to your family, I didn't think you meant you'd adopt me" I crossed my arms, standing in front of Slade.

"You didn't know a lot of things back then, Mal" He chuckled, "It's a Danver's thing to adopt random people"

"Including a certain Lance?" I asked.

"Laurel and Kara met in High School, honestly I'm pretty sure she integrated herself into this family on her own, but yea... we essentially adopted her too" He leaned on the wall, "When did you suddenly gain interest in our siren?"

"Siren?" I ask.

"Its a nickname me and Alex came up with, she never realizes it, but she can lure men in and break their hearts in the same day" He looked around, "She was raised to work hard, achieve big, but she believes that costs her all of her life"

"Is that why Kara took her in?" I asked.

"I honestly have no idea why Kara took interest in her, but she did and I can't imagine a family without her around" He nodded, "Anyways, you never answered my question"

"I think I always had an interest in her, but I just feel like acting on it you know?" I heard a few cheers and chattering, turning back to see Kara, Oliver, and William had finally arrived. "There's our birthday girl"

"Kara! Happy birthday, my dear sister" Slade engulfed the blonde in a huge bear hug. "How was the morning on the town?"

"It was fun, we did some shopping, ate some food" She smiled, giving me a hug next.

"Happy birthday, Almas" I smiled.

"Thank you, Magician" She giggled, "Where's Alex and Laurel?"

"They're still getting ready," I said, "Come on, let's have a drink before the guests take all your attention for the night"

"Hopefully not all the attention" Oliver emphasized.

Slade poured us all some wine,  holding his glass up, "Here's to you, Kara Astra Danvers, who graced us with your presence on this day 28 years ago"

"To Kara" Me and Oliver cheered.

"To me" Kara giggled, she took a sip of her champagne before stopping, "Oh, there's Alex and Laurel"

Kara rushed to talk to them, we turned and watched from afar. Alex has worn a red dress with a black belt and black flats, her hair was down as normal and she was surprisingly wearing a necklace. Laurel on the other hand... She wore a simple black dress, black heels, and her hair was lightly parted to one side. 

I finally understood why Slade and Alex called her a siren... She was absolutely beautiful...
