They were cake tasting when the thought came crashing into her mind… They had never found out what their score was. Alura had told them that they were a match, but not how much of one they were. Nor did she show them their ticket.

It seemed strange, but as she watched Kara stuff an entire slice of cake into her mouth, all she could do was giggle and indulge herself in all that was Kara Zor-El Danvers.

It hit her again, that night… She was cuddled up into Kara's side on her bed in Argo, her head was resting on a strong Kryptonian shoulder, when she once again thought about their score… Perhaps it wasn't as high as the one Kara had with Kell-Ur, and to save Kara from that saddening news, Alura had preferred to keep the score to herself.

Lena frowned, she wouldn't feel right now until she knew for sure… Was she Kara's second best?

Before her mind could go crazy trying to figure out what Alura's reasoning could be, Kara began shifting and then opened her eyes. Crystal orbs met Emerald, and they both smiled lovingly. "You know, I never thought we'd be here." Kara murmured.

Lena shook her head. "I always dreamed, but I never thought it would happen. I finally got the courage to tell you after you left, but I didn't think it would lead to something this amazing… I'm going to marry you."

Kara smiled. "We're going to marry each other, and we're going to buy a farm on-," She cut off, a frown etched on her face.

Worry filled Lena as she took in Kara's demeanor. "What's wrong, Darling?"

Kara sighed. "I just… I just realized that we haven't talked about what our future is going to hold." She admitted. "I know what I'd like to see happen, but… we've never discussed it."

Lena smiled. "Well… There are two options that I've been thinking about. Would you like to hear them?"

Kara beamed, her eyes shining bright, "Of course." She replied earnestly.

"Well, I was thinking that if we planned on staying on Argo full-time and only planned to visit Earth, we could buy a home together there. You could remain one of the brightest minds in the science guild, and I could become a teacher while having most of L-Corp's funds transferred into our Argo bank account. That way we will be fine here, but also have enough money on Earth, so we wouldn't have to worry about financial stability."

Kara smiled. "You want to be a teacher?"

Lena shrugged, "It wasn't my life's dream, but-,"

Kara shook her head and cut her off. "We have an inventors guild too, Lena. I know it wouldn't be the best for us to work together, but your brilliant mind deserves to be experienced. You like inventing things, the Inventors guild is right next to the Science guild, so we could still have lunch together daily, and we do co-ops quite a lot, so I think that would work. You don't have to be a teacher, Lena."

Lena smiled, the fact that Kara thought about their future together, and was willing to find a position for her astounded he; she felt incredibly lucky, and if she were being entirely honest, being a part of the Inventors guild excited her. "That would work too." She chuckled. "Inventors Guild it is."

"What about the second idea?" Kara inquired.

Lena smiled. "That's the one if we stay on Earth full-time and just visit Argo. I don't think you want that one."

Kara tilted her head. "But what do you want?" She asked gently.

Lena's heart flittered at Kara's gentleness. "I just want you."

Kara smiled. "And I want you." Sha paused for a moment, biting her lips into her mouth. "But I want you to be just as happy as I am, so if you want to live on Earth, I understand."

Lena frowned and shook her head. She quite frankly never wanted to see Earth again… If it weren't for Sam, Alex, and Ruby, she wouldn't even want to think about Earth. She'd happily give up L-Corp for Kara… Without a second thought.

"I don't want to live on Earth," Lena admitted. "They all judge me because of my last name. They'll never see me as Lena Luthor. They'll always see me as Lex Luthor's sister. No matter what I do, or say, they're going to think I'm untrustworthy and evil; but when I'm on Argo, they see me as a hero, as a good person, as Lena. I've felt more welcomed and accepted on Argo than I ever have my entire life, and you're just so… at peace here. I'll always love you, no matter where you are, but here, being Kara Zor-El instead of having to hide yourself 24/7? You're so much happier, and I love seeing you like this. So, no Kara, I don't want to live on Earth… not unless you absolutely want to."

Kara had tears in her eyes as she squeezed Lena tighter. "You've always deserved happiness Lena, and I swear I'm going to work the rest of my life trying to make you the happiest person alive."

Lena smiled. "You do that every time you smile at me."

Kara chuckled lightly. "Then I suppose I'll have to keep smiling for the rest of my life… That's not going to be hard to do with you by my side though."

Kara had decided to walk the dogs at the shelter the next morning, and although Lena wanted to see her adorable girlfriend(?) walking a pack of adorable puppies, she also wanted to get down to the bottom of the worry she had been feeling. So, that was why she was standing at Alura's office in the High Council's building.

She let out a deep breath before she knocked once on the door, hoping that she would have the courage to go through with what she was planning to do.

When Alura opened her office, she had a smile plastered on her face. "Ah! Lena! I'm so happy you stopped by, did Kara show you the set of bonding bracelets that I found? What did you think of them?"

Lena smiled tentatively and shook her head. "She hasn't shown me yet, but I'm sure she's going to soon."

Alura nodded. "Right, Of course." She replied. "Then what brings you here this morning?"

Lena swallowed at the lump in her throat. "I… I just realized that I never actually heard what our percentage was, and was just wanting to see out ticket?"

Alura's smile faltered slightly. "I… I don't know where I placed it, but as soon as I find it, I will let you know."

Lena shook her head. "Alura, what was our score?"

"Why are you quizzing me?" She asked, appearing to be insulted. "What have I done to you to make you think I'm not trustworthy?"

Lena sighed, and shook her head, she was worried, and Alura was just beating around the bush; which only struck anger inside of her. "You took the love of my life away from me for eight months." She replied. "That's one thing."

Alura frowned. "She wanted to come. She thought you hated her. I am her mother, Miss Luthor. I will always want her happiness, and I will do anything to ensure her happiness."

Lena raised her eyebrow. Her heart beating rapidly in her chest. "Would that include tampering with a Matricomp ticket to make her think that the person she loves is compatible to her even though they aren't?"

Alura glared. "Fine." She huffed. She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and slammed it onto the table. "Here's the ticket you want so badly."

Lena let out a nervous, shaky, breath and walked over to the desk. She looked down at the ticket and frowned.

Oh.

"Y… You weren't lying? We… we're really a match?"

Alura sighed and let out a chuckle. "I love my daughter, and I won't deny that I thought about messing with the results if you failed, but no, Darling… I wasn't lying. You are a match."

Lena smiled, and looked down at the piece of paper, that legalized her bonding to Kara. "So… she can marry me."

Alura nodded, she placed her hand on Lena's shoulder and smiled apologetically at her. "I'm sorry I kept this a secret, I know that wasn't my right, but I wanted to have a grand reveal... I know that on Earth your last name is a curse, but here, Lena… Here it isn't. You're a hero here. And soon, you will be an El, and have the most prestigious last name on Krypton. No one is out to get you here; no one is against you, no one will lie to you just for fun. You and Kara are both heroes here. You are respected and revered. So please, Lena. Find peace in that, or in my daughter if nothing else."

"Then why were you hiding it?" Lena asked, still feeling a bit wary about this entire situation.

Alura exhaled loudly. "I was going to frame it for your Bonding Ceremony and give it to you as a gift."

Relief and happiness overwhelmed Lena once more. She wasn't being targeted. She wasn't being tricked. She wasn't being set up.

Guilt swarmed her… She'd been so incredibly harsh to Alura… and it was all for nothing. She made eye contact with Alura so that the older woman would know that she was being genuine. "I was resentful of you after Kara first left, but I'd like you to know that I genuinely respect and admire you. I do not hold any anger towards you for Kara choosing to come live on Argo, and I am very sorry for-,"

Alura wrapped her into a tight hug. "I know that you were just scared. I'm not angry, sweetheart."

"I ruined your surprise," Lena replied, still not convinced that Alura wasn't angry.

Alura chuckled. "You didn't." She comforted. "It was just revealed a bit earlier than I had intended it to be."

Lena laughed. "I suppose it was."

Alura handed her the paper. "Go. Show Kara. I'm sure she'd like to know too."

As soon as Kara walked through the door of her house, Lena slammed into her, kissing her with all the passion she could.

Today was a good day. A great day even.

When their lips parted, Kara laughed sweetly and caressed Lena's cheek with the backs of her index and middle fingers. "What was that for?"

Lena was too happy to concoct a coherent sentence, so instead of trying all she managed was to squeal out. "NINETY-THREE!"

Kara furrowed her brow. "Pardon?"

Lena grinned from ear to ear. "Ninety-three. That's what our percentage was."

Kara's smile was back. "Oh." She laughed. "You went to my mother?"

Lena nodded. "We're a match."

"Of course, we are, Lena. We had to be. No one in the universe loves each other more than we do."

Lena smiled, her heart swelling with love and adoration for the woman standing before her. "I can't wait to marry you, Kara Zor-El."

Kara giggled. "Two more days, beautiful. Two more days."

Alura is definitely Pro-Supercorp
