"My parents are coming over in 10 minutes so please put some clothes on"
In the years since coming out as Supergirl, many things had changed in Kara Danvers' life. The greatest change was how little spare time she had for anything other than superhero work and CatCo work. This had begun to take a toll on her normal life (if you could call it that…) as it became obvious one Saturday night. Kara and James were having dinner with Eliza, Alex and Mrs. Olsen, and Kara had been doing Supergirl things all day, leaving Alex and James to fend for themselves with dinner preparations.
"Alex, have you talked to Kara since this morning?" James asked her, as they made dinner, while they waited for their mothers to arrive.
"Last I checked she was wrangling an escaped prisoner at HQ. I haven't talked to her for an hour or two though." Alex told him, he began to reply but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." He told Alex, walking towards the door. He opened it to find Eliza Danvers standing behind it.
"James! It's so good to see you!" She told him as she hugged him. He grabbed her bag and brought it into the apartment and Alex and her mother greeted each other.
"Where's Kara?" Eliza asked looking around for the younger girl.
"She's taking care of some things… some Alien Superhero things." James told her, chuckling quietly to himself.
"Well, she'd better hurry up with it, or else she'll be late for dinner."
"She'll be here... at least she better be." Alex said.
"She will, the real question is when."
"Kara, where are you?" James asked her over the phone. "My mom is going to be here soon, like thirty-five minutes soon."
"I know, I know… I'm just a little bit busy at the moment."
"What happened?" Kara grunted through the line, making James aware that she was in the middle of a fight.
"I was on my way home, when there was building on fire and then I got a call that one of prisoners got loose." She grunted again, and then there was a slam.
"Okay, be careful, and be quick… Eliza is already here."
"Okay! I will. I love you!"
"I love you too." James replied before hanging up.
"So, what's her ETA?" Alex asked him when he walked back into the kitchen area.
"Unknown. Hopefully soon… my mom is going to be here soon."
"She'll be here, and you know it. When Supergirl… and Kara, makes a promise, she keeps it."
"You're right about that."
"Alex, are you sure we shouldn't call your sister again?" Eliza asked her daughter twenty minutes later.
"Mom, if we call her it's just going to make her take longer with what ever she's doing." Alex answered her.
"But-"
"Eliza!" Kara exclaimed as she landed in the living room through the open window.
"Kara! Oh, it's so great to see you!" Eliza said as she rushed across the apartment to hug the young girl.
"It's so good to see you too! I'm so sorry that I'm so late… Everything has just been so crazy at CatCo and with Supergirl and-"
"Kara, sweetheart, as nice as it is to see you're all catching up, start chopping." James interrupted her, pointing to the vegetables on the counter.
"Oh, yeah, of course." Kara walked over to stand next to him, kissing his cheek before beginning to help. "When is you're supposed to be here?"
James checked his watch, his eyes widened. "Any minute now."
"Oh, I can't wait to see her!" Kara squealed, her cape swishing around their ankles, making James aware that she hadn't changed yet.
"Kara, are you forgetting something?" He asked her, tugging her cape once.
"No… I don't think so…" she answered, not looking at him.
Her focus completely on her task at hand, her tongue sticking out slightly, as her eyebrows furrowed in concentration. James fingers began to itch for his camera, and lucky for him, it was right on the opposite counter. He grabbed it, took a few shots of his girlfriend, then replaced it on the counter once more.
"Hey Supergirl, as much as I love you, my mom is coming over in ten minutes, so please put some clothes on."
"James, I am wearing clothes…" Kara looked at him with a confused look.
Alex and Eliza laughed.
"Kara, dear… I don't think that's what James meant." Eliza told her, nodding to her suit.
"I know you're wearing clothes already, Kara… but why don't you go put on something that isn't your Supergirl suit?" James suggested. Kara blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh-uh, um- yeah… I'm just- uh, I'm gonna go change."
