The next morning, Kara wakes and notices her position leaning over Mon-El's bed. She lifts her head and sees his eyes open. "Oh, thank, Rao! Mon-El, you scared the crap out me." She hits his arm with more strength than she would normally give. He can take it, unlike most of the rest of the world around her.
"Ow! Sorry, Kara! The last thing I wanted was a Kryptonite bomb blowing you up. I did just bring you back from the dead. I doubt you want me to time travel to fix that again." Mon-El states.
"No, no. I don't want that. I'm sorry, Mon-El. I see your point." Kara says.
"Good. Thanks for the comfy clothes. I'm glad I didn't wake up in my suit. I love it, but there are times where that cape gets heavy, even with the super strength." Mon-El states.
"Oh, I agree. It's nice to get comfy sometimes." Kara says.
"You're still in your suit, Kara. Go put on comfy clothes. I'll be right here." Mon-El states.
Kara super speeds to the room where she keeps extra clothes, and changes quickly. She then speeds back to Mon-El's bed side.
"I didn't say that fast, but I'll take it." Mon-El said with a smile.
"Good. I'm gonna get us some food. Neither of us have had much in a few days and I'm starving. You know this alien metabolism." Kara says.
Mon-El laughs and says, "Yes. I do know. I'm there too."
"Good." Kara says with a smile and kisses him on the forehead. "I'll be right back. If Alex or Winn drop by let them know where I am, please."
"I will." Mon-El says.
A few hours later, both Kara and Mon-El had had their share and were full. They were smiling and joking with each other when Alex walked in.
"Well, looks like my favorite superhero couple has recovered from their tribulations." Alex states.
"I never want to have both of you as patients in 24 hours again, unless the world really is ending.
You didn't have to go out there Kara, resulting in Mon-El backing you up and almost drowning in the bay."
"I told her it was a bad idea." Mon-El states. "Do you ever listen to me, Kara?"
"No, she doesn't until it's too late." Alex states. "Listen to your man, sis. His instincts are usually spot on."
"Yes." Kara states with a groan. "I know. After everything that's happened, I should realize that, shouldn't I?"
"You should." Mon-El replies smugly.
"Oh, like your ego needs to be stroked, Mon-El." Kara says while rolling her eyes.
"Go home and rest, you two. If we need Supergirl and Valor, you will get called. I'm putting you on reserve for now. You just need some peace to enjoy each other's company. You haven't had that since your reconciliation." Alex said.
"Thanks, sis. Means a lot." Kara says.
Mon-El nods in agreement. "You head home and rest, Kara. I need to chat with Winn about something. I'll be there shortly. We can binge watch one of the shows you wanted to watch with me before everything went to hell."
"Ok, I'd love that." Kara says with a smile and a kiss to his cheek. She happily leaves the med bay, knowing tonight she'd finally get to cuddle up to the man of her dreams in their bed after what felt like an eternity.
A few weeks later, and Kara and Mon-El were happier than they'd ever been. The world was as peaceful as it had been in a long time. Neither Supergirl or Valor making many appearances in these few weeks.
Mon-El and Winn had been meeting up to work on Kara's engagement ring, with input from Alex (and crazily enough J'onn) about the design. Kara just guessed Mon-El and Winn were having boys nights. She was glad they were such close friends. Winn needed that, and so did Mon-El.
Mon-El comes into the apartment one afternoon, whistling a tune he'd heard somewhere. He didn't expect to see Kara sitting at the island on her computer. "Isn't she supposed to be at Catco?" He thinks.
Kara looks up at the noise and smiles. "Oh, hi honey! You're here!" She says with a smile.
"I'm here." Mon-El replies with a smile. "Why aren't you at Catco?"
"Oh, James said I could work from home today. He didn't need me at the office." Kara replies.
"Ah. Good. Cause I have a surprise for you." Mon-El states.
Kara looks at him odd and says, "Ok. Anything special?"
Mon-El smiles and says, "Of course." He leans down and kisses her on the cheek. "Go put on one of those pretty dresses and doll yourself up some. I'm taking you out."
Kara looks at him funny and says, "Ok. Thanks, honey. I love you."
"I love you, too." He replies with a smile.
With that he walks into the bedroom, and looks in his own dress clothes. He picks out a nice dress shirt he knows Kara will love and a suit and tie to match. If he's gonna lay it all on the line, he better look the part. Kara deserves everything, and he's willing to give it to her. He hopes he can succeed. He knows he doesn't deserve such an amazing woman, but he loves her so much. He knows now that he needs her in his life, it's not just a matter of want, she's like a drug he doesn't want to stop taking. He knows the withdrawal symptoms and they are hell. He won't be doing that again. Nope. Once he was dressed, he made sure the ring he and Winn had spent countless hours designing and making was safely tucked in his pocket where not even Kara's X-ray vision could see it. If he couldn't see through it, no way she could.
When Kara walks out of the bathroom with her hair and makeup done a little heavier than usual and that dress that made Mon-El's heart about jump from his chest, she sees him sitting there all dashing in his suit and smiles.
"Well, don't you look handsome." Kara states. "I've always loved seeing you dressed up."
Mon-El blushes and says, "Well, you look gorgeous, Kara. I'm undeserving of you, but I just can't let you go. I love you so much." He gets up and hugs her to him and kisses her deeply.
Kara breaks the kiss and says, "I love you too, Mon-El. Now more than I ever have, and I thought I loved you more than anything then. I can never repay you for your symbol of love for me. Not many women have a man who literally changed time for them, but I do." She kisses his cheek and grabs his hand and leads him to the living room.
"I'd do it again if it meant I got to kiss you again." Mon-El says. "Your love is like a drug I refuse to drop."
Kara blushed and kissed him on the lips. "Like that?" She asks him demurely.
"Exactly like that." Mon-El replies.
She smiles at him and grabs his hand. "Well, let's get to where we are going then. You said you have a surprise. I can't wait to see what it is."
"You'll love it." Mon-El says.
They leave the apartment hand in hand and walk down the street making small talk. Mon-El stops her and says, "We're here."
Kara looks at their surroundings and sees a restaurant that is way out of their price range, but she'd always wanted to try. "We're eating here? We can't afford this, Mon-El!"
"Oh, you'd be surprised at what we can afford. Don't worry, Kara. Your sister and Winn helped me with this. I want you to know that you taking me back after everything means to me. Because it means the world, Kara." Mon-El says.
"You are my world, Mon-El. From the moment I realized I was in love with you, I knew then that you were it for me. After you admitted the truth, I couldn't deny my feelings anymore. That I would never be able to love another man, ever." Kara tells him.
Mon-El smiles. "Good thing she's getting proposed to tonight." Mon-El thinks to himself.
He holds the door open and lets her go through first, like the gentleman he is. He follows behind her and they walk to the host stand.
"Can I help you, sir, madame?" The host says.
"Yes. Reservation for two. The name is Matthews." Mon-El says.
Upon his return to this Earth, Mon-El also readapted his human name so he could readapt easier.
"2 for Matthews, come with me." The host said with a smile.
They followed the host and Mon-El pulled Kara's chair out and helped her sit down before sitting himself.
They ordered a bottle of wine that Alex had told Mon-El was Kara's favorite.
Kara gasped, "My favorite wine! Mike!"
Mon-El smiled, "I asked Alex. She told me you liked it a lot. I want this night to be special for you, Kara. You deserve that."
She blushed and smiled, "You put a lot of effort into tonight, didn't you?"
"Yes." Mon-El replies with a blush.
"I love it so far. Wonderful surprise." Kara says.
"This isn't it, Kara. There's more. Way more." Mon-El states.
"Really?" Kara asks giddly.
With a smile he says, "Yes."
The waiter returns with the wine, and then takes their orders. Mon-El making it clear to Kara to get whatever she wanted. He had the bill covered.
"I can't thank you enough for this. I feel so loved." Kara says.
"You know you are, Kara. I sometimes don't know how to put it into words, or even actions to show you how much you mean to me." Mon-El replies.
Kara blushes at his kind words.
The food arrives and they easily talk about things that can be discussed in public. Most of the life they share is very different and hidden from the view of the humans of Earth. So, they are careful not to discuss much of that on dates like this one. As they got closer to dessert, Mon-El began to get more nervous. He wants to marry Kara so bad it hurts. To spend how many more years he has with her. He knows for a fact that they both will out live all their loved ones. They could even live centuries of life together. Something he hopes to have happen.
When the waiter brings dessert, Kara gasps. "You remembered!"
"That Chocolate Pecan Cake is your favorite. Hard to forget. Besides, I must admit that it is good." Mon-El says. "Um, Kara?" He asks.
"Yeah?" She asks. She looks up and doesn't see him sitting in his chair. "Mon-Mike!?"
Mon-El cleared his throat and Kara looked down to her right hand side to see him down on one knee.
Kara gasps and drops her fork to her plate. "What in the world?"
"Kara, You know that I've loved you across dimensions and time itself, I love you so much. More than anything else." He reaches into the special pocket and pulls out her engagement ring. "Kara Danvers, will you make me the happiest man throughout all of time and be my wife?"
Kara gasps.
Mon-El opens up the ring box and smiles at her.
Kara gasps again. "Mike! It's beautiful!"
"No, you're beautiful. This is just a symbol of my love for you." Mon-El tells her.
"The answer is yes. Yes, I'll be your wife." Kara says.
With tears in his eyes he rises to his haunches and kisses Kara. He then takes the ring that he so painstakingly helped Winn design for Kara out of it's box and places it on her left ring finger, where it will sit till the end of time.
Kara looks at the ring and then at Mon-El and says, "This was your surprise?"
"Yes." Mon-El replies.
"Oh, this is the best thing to have ever happened to me. I get to marry the man of my dreams." Kara squeals as she stands up and tackles Mon-El to the floor and plants a kiss on him.
He breaks the kiss and says, "I'm glad you feel that way."
The restaurant breaks out into cheers and Mon-El and Kara both blush.
Kara stands up and helps Mon-El up to his feet. "So, dessert?"
"You don't have to ask me twice" Mon-El states.
They finish dessert and Mon-El pays the bill. They leave the restaurant so giddy and happy that the world around them doesn't even exist.
