"Hey Kal" Kara greeted her cousin a little too excitedly and gave him a hug, which was promptly reciprocated.

Lucy stood awkwardly looking at her sister. "Hey, Lois." She said. She had promised she'd try to behave...for Kara. Besides, the last time they'd seen each other it had not been so bad. She hadn't felt like throwing coffee at her sister nor running away. And when Kara had shown up to pick her up (check if they were both alive), the introductions had gone swiftly. Though that make be what gave Kara this brilliant idea so Lucy was not sure she was still happy about it.

"Hi Lucy." Lois said, and after a moment's hesitation, she reached out to pull Lucy in a awkward, if sincere, hug. After Lucy pulled back she saw a rather annoying smirk on Kara lip that made her narrow her eyes and turn her attention to Clark, while her girlfriend said hi to Lois.

"Clark, it's good to see you again." She said extending her hand.

"It's wonderful to see you as well, Lucy. " He answered taking her hand and squeezing it gently, a big and happy smile on his face. Apparently the super-cousins were rather happy with what they had planned despite the threat of sleeping on the couch - Lucy was sure her sister would have said something similar.

"So...Have you been waiting long?" Kara asked as they made their way towards the double doors.

"Not really." Kal said, and there was a small silence as they were sited and ordered their drinks.

"Everything alright in Metropolis?" Kara asked.

"Yep, no major crisis for a while now." Clark answered.

"That's good." The blond superhero commented. Lucy and Lois were kept looking at either their dates or their plates.

"National city?" Clark asked after a few seconds, and Lucy saw him looking between the two sisters.

"All fine, thankfully." Kara smiled, but her eyes followed the same path her cousin's did.

Lucy reigned in a sigh. She had promised she'd try, but she had no idea what to say. One quick look at Lois was enough to confirm that her sister was in the same boat.

Thankfully, a waiter came up to deliver their drinks and relieve them of the awkwardness. For a while.

"So..." Lois started, fidgeting with the wine glass. "How much trouble is Kara in?" She finally asked, looking at Kara first and then Lucy. The director raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry?" Lucy asked.

"Come on, Lucy. Smallville here is definitely about to find out just how comfortable is the couch." Lois answered, smirking.

Lucy felt her own lips twitching, wanting to smile. She lost her battle when the cousins shifted uncomfortably. Without looking, she could tell that Kara was glancing at her from under her eyelashes giving Lucy her best puppy-eyed look. Ignoring her girlfriend, Lucy answered her sister.

"I might have sentenced her to the same fate." She said simply, and Lois laughed.

"To the Lane sisters, knowing how to keep the supers on the line." Lois raised her glass, and Lucy meet it with her own, chuckling.

"You'd think they'd know better by now." Lucy said, after she took a sip of the wine, glancing Kara's way. Her girlfriend was pouting, but there was an undeniable glimmer of amusement in her eyes that made Lucy reach out with her free hand to grab Kara's, who gave an almost unperceivable smile as she laced their fingers together.

"Guess all the time under the sun might have taken some powers away from them." Lois said slyly, putting her glass down and bumping her shoulders with Clark.

"Hey!" Both cousins said at the same time, tone mock hurt.

"Such as the ability to make up a convincing lie to the boss." Lucy said, looking at Kara with an amused grin.

"The lie was not that bad..." The blond woman started to say, but Lucy raised an eyebrow and she stopped.

"What did you come up with, Kara?" Clark asked. Kara looked at him like he might be her salvation.

"Well... I might have said that... I'd just remembered that I had cooked something that morning and couldn't remember if I'd turned off my oven so I need to leave real quick..." She mumbled.

Clark's eyes widened and Lois started laughing really hard, which prompted Lucy to follow.

"It's... It's not that bad, Kara... Really?" Clark tried to say, but the barely contained grin on his face was a dead tell.

"Kaaaal!" Kara whined, looking betrayed.

"I'm sorry, Kara, but...well...that was..." Clark was clearly trying to come up with a way to say 'horrible' without offending his cousin and coming up short.

"Like you're any better, Clarkie. Tell them what you said to Perry two weeks ago." Lois said, taking another sip of her wine. Clark blushed.

"I...it was..." Clark started and Kara was now looking at him with a defiant expression on her face. Lucy bit her lip to stop herself from laughing already. "I said that I'd forgotten I was having a party that night and need to buy drinks to put on the fridge so they'd be cold in time..."

Lucy's and Kara's expressions were the picture of astonishment, before they both started to laugh. Hard. With Lois following up.

"It was not as bad as yours, Kara!" Kal tried to say, but there was a smile tugging at his lips.

"It was just as horrifying, Clark. Sorry." Lucy said, still laughing. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Kara giving Clark a smug look before she frowned, actually registering what Lucy said.

"It might run in the family." Lois said, trying to control herself.

"I'm starting to think that it might actually be a superpower of theirs." Lucy quipped. The two superheroes pouted, causing the sisters laughter to start up again.

As the laughter drifted out, the conversation started to flow easily between the four of them throughout the meal, and Lucy allowed herself to relax, fingers going back to tightly interlace with Kara's whenever she had a free hand.

"So..." Kara started once they were on the car again, and Lucy was putting it into drive. 'Do I still have to sleep on the couch?" She asked, teeth biting her lower lip.

Lucy bit the inside of her cheeks to stop herself from smiling, and pretended to think seriously about it.

"Well... it is a bit chilly today, so..." She dragged out, but she could already see the happy smile growing on her girlfriend's face and Lucy lost the fight against her own grin. "I guess I could use a warm Kryptonian by my side." She finished, glancing briefly at Kara.

"Of course, Director Lane." Kara said simply, smile still in place, as she reached over to grasp Lucy's free hand in a warm hold.

It had been a rather good, if unexpected, night.
