Author's Note: Hello, hello. Yes, I've been gone for quite a while, but no, I'm not dead. Anyways, welcome to the very first chapter of Girl of Steel. Pretty much, a happy brunch goes wrong. Very wrong. The first chapter will be pretty much fluff so sweet it'll rot your teeth, but it gets more interesting, I promise. Give it a chance, and I hope you enjoy!

Kara woke all too soon, keeping her eyes shut though the gentle sunlight poured through her curtains and into her eyes.

She snuggled even deeper into the warmth of Mon-el's chest, cocooned in the scent of warm honey that followed him everywhere.

She felt a hand stroking her hair and hummed contently, smiling into her boyfriend's chest.

"You look pretty when you sleep," he said groggily.

Kara looked up at him. "It's weird to watch people sleep, you know?"

"Even my own girlfriend?"

"Yes, even your own girlfriend."

Mon-el leaned down and pecked the top of her head. "Then I'm weird and proud of it."

Kara sighed before propping herself up on one elbow and flinging her legs over the side of bed.

"Nooo," Mon-el whined. "You can't leave already, it's too early."

Kara smiled at him over her shoulder. "It's 9:30 and I promised Alex that I would have brunch at Noonan's with her."

Mon-el perked up. "Noonan's? I love Noonan's."

"I know you do, that's why I suggested it."

He walked over to Kara and pulled her into an embrace.

"Their sticky buns are the best," he said softly.

"Agreed," Kara whispered.

He pulled her in for a short kiss before pulling back. "There's only one thing better than a sticky bun, though."

Kara smiled. "What's that?"

Mon-el smirked. "Me."

Kara mocked hurt and reached behind her for a pillow, flinging it at his face. It landed with a satisfying thump.

"Owww, Kara, you can't use your powers against me!"

"Why not?" Kara asked.

"Cause I'm a good guy."

"You sure about that?"

"Positive," he chuckled before flinging the pillow back at her, which missed by a mile.

He then moved into the kitchen, preparing some coffee.

"Are you sure you don't want to wait for Noonan's for coffee?" Kara called from the bathroom.

"You can never have too much coffee," Mon-el called back.

"Ain't that the truth."

Kara got into the shower and cleaned briskly before changing into jeans and her comfiest blue cardigan, joining her boyfriend in the kitchen. He handed her a cup of coffee, which she gladly accepted. Just then, her phone buzzed.

"We're going to have to get these to go. Alex is getting antsy."

He grumbled before shuffling to the bathroom and showering himself while Kara poured the coffee into the re-sealable cups.

Mon-el joined her just then, wearing his most comfortable pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, and the green jacket that fit him just perfectly.

"How do I look?" he asked, sauntering in.

"Like a million bucks," Kara said, pecking him on the lips while pressing the coffee cup into his hands. She pulled away, grabbing the keys and heading into the hallway with Mon-el in tow, feeling completely, utterly happy.

After all the things that had gone so wrong for her recently, she was just happy to get over the worst of it. She had finally figured out a semblance of normalcy and balance in her undercover life, and it felt better than she could've ever imagined.

If Kara had met a magical genie just then, she would have asked for every day to be just as perfect as this.

Things were just how she wanted them.

Meanwhile…

"She's exiting the building now," the voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Headed for Noonan's café"

Lilian smiled to herself. This is exactly how she wanted it. All those months of studying Kara Danvers were going to pay off.

Things were just how she wanted them.

Kara pulled into the parking space, noting the motorcycle already parked a few spaces away. Alex was already here.

She and Mon-el hopped out of the car happily, holding hands as they entered their favorite restaurant in all of National City.

They walked in and Kara's eyes immediately looked to Alex, who was sitting in their favorite booth, scrolling through her phone, nursing a black coffee and adorned with her worn leather jacket.

She smiled and led Mon-el to the table, scooting into the opposite side of the booth.

"Hey Alex," Kara said.

Alex looked up, smiling brightly and shutting off her phone.

They began talking animatedly, shifting conversation points rapidly and lightheartedly.

A few people from work waved to Kara, greeting her lightly, and she waved back. She was in good spirits, sitting with the two people she loved most, in her favorite café.

A waitress came up.

"Hey Kara," she greeted warmly. "Alex said you'd be joining her."

"Yeah, well, here I am. Oh, this is my boyfriend, Mo-…Mike."

She smiled warmly at him, who returned it easily.

"Mike, this is Tonya. Tonya, this is Mike."

"Nice to meet you Mike," Tonya said. Mon-el nodded in acknowledgement and smiled. "Alright, then. What can I get everyone?"

"I'll have the usual," Kara said.

"Sticky buns and a latte it is then. Mike?"

"Ah, same here."

She chuckled and wrote onto her pad. "I see why you like him, Kara."

Alex ordered an egg sandwich, and Tonya was off to the kitchen. The rest of the meal floated by easily, with cheerful banter, lively music over the speakers, and great food.

Tonya came by after a while to clear their food. "Girl, there you go again. How can you eat Sticky Buns every day for breakfast and still say so thin?"

She pushed the last bit of sticky bun into her mouth and handed her plate to the waitress. "I'm an alien," she said through a mouthful of dough.

Alex choked on her lukewarm coffee, Mon-el froze, but Tonya just chucked before hurrying off with the dirty dishes.

Alex kicked Kara under the table.

"Oww, Alex! What was that for?"

"You can't just say things like that!" she half-heartedly scolded. "And that didn't hurt you. You are incapable of pain."

"Well, technically-"

"Shut up Kara, I know your body better than anyone," she interrupted.

"Well, I don't know abou-"Mon-el was cut off by Kara squeezing his wrist. "What? She has never seen you-"

She squeezed again, even harder and he finally shut up.

Mon-el looked up shamefully at Alex's half-serious-half-joking glare.

"I'll break you, alien boy."

Mon-el chuckled, looking down at his shoes.

"I'm not going to witness this, I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'm gonna go pay at the counter," Alex said.

Kara entered the room and went to the toilet. Just as she was finishing up, she could hear the restaurant door smashed open.

"Everybody freeze!" a voice commanded. "Nobody fucking move! This is a robbery!"

Author's Note pt2: So, like I said, 99% fluff. Anyways, I'd love to hear feedback. I'm not the best author, I know, so is there anything you'd like me to improve on?

Also, I love to hear thoughts about the story specifically, like what you thought was interesting or predictions. I love predictions.

Most of all, I just love comments. If you haven't already, please check out my other fics. I don't think they're too trashy. Much love to you all.

Updates will not be on a schedule. I will post when I can and when I feel like it, but if your skin is really itching for one, let me know. I'd hate to starve y'all.

Goodbye!
