It had been a few weeks after the attack J'onn and Alex were back on their feet ordering people around the base being as bossy as ever. But everyone had noticed the glances they gave each other and how they weren't as prickly as usual.
Director Lane had been found tied up unconscious in the White Martians cell. She was better now but she wasn't allowed any field work.
Twice. It had been twice that agents had spotted them making out. Once in Director J'onzz's office and once in the armoury. It had gotten around by now and they won't even trying to hide their newfound relationship.
Lucy had, had a bit of a shock when she came back to work and found those two flirting all out in the open at work. But then grinned since she had guessed that they had feeling for each other by now.
"So spill it." Lucy walked to Alex after J'onn had gone out of the room
"Spill what?"
"You know very well what I'm talking about. Tell me was it after or before the White Martian turned up." Lucy sat down grinning to a red Alex
"I…well everyone here already probably knows we aren't the most discrete."
"Danvers they knew even when Director J'onzz was still Director Henshaw. Are you telling me that you two only just got together?"
"Why did everyone think we were together before?"
"Well I'll list all the damming obvious reasons. One. You traded one of the top most dangerous prisoners for him plus you went against my father which I know takes a lot of stamina."
"I was only doing my job." Alex retorted heatedly
"Two. You practically begged for him to run and leave you there to die when the White Martian first appeared. And do not say that was part of your job. Because I know that was defiantly not."
Alex started to blush red thinking back to the truth of the situation.
"Then J'onn nearly murdered half of the DEO when you went to save your sister from the black mercy not to mention that he very nearly punched Maxwell and James. Then…" Lucy was smirking
"Okay! Okay, I get it." Alex put her hands up in the air as a sign of defeat
"You don't need to list all the other things that happened in my crazy alien hunting life."
"I know the feeling I so when did J'onn finally muster up the courage?"
"Actually it was sort of me."
"Huh, knew that he would never have made the first move like he would be too worried of upsetting you or tearing up his relationship with you. Honestly men."
"Well technically he's a Martian but I think that all males are like that."
"So true." Lucy and Alex both broke up laughing clutching their sides
"So, is everything going well between the two of you and have you…have you found anything about Jeremiah yet?" He voice went lower
"Yes, J'onn has been talking to the president and we think that we can get the permission to take project Cadmus down."
"Well know that you've got the whole DEO on your side." Lucy patted Alex in her shoulder
"Agent Danvers could you come and finish categorising this weapons." J'onn's voice filled the room and Alex like any normal agent stood to attention
"Yes sir." She walked of but as they passed it was hard to miss the small touch of hands and heated smiles
"Honestly you two really don't have to pretend in front of me." Lucy sighed
"I don't know what you're talking about." Alex grinned
Lucy rolling her eyes walked out muttering something about idiotic agents. The moment she was gone Alex turned to J'onn gently kissing him.
"Do you think we could leave early?" Alex asked
"I think so." J'onn grabbed Alex swinging her up into his arms making her laugh J'onn flew out only being seen by a few agents whom smirked at their not-so-secret affection.
"When they got back J'onn put Alex down before going on to say. "I didn't just get us out to go on a date, I also got some good news about your father."
Alex looked up expectantly.
"I got the all clear on bringing it down. We are going to move out tomorrow. I ordered extra training and weaponry check. We'll be moving out at dawn." J'onn looked down seeing tears in Alex's eyes he bent down and wiped them away.
"He's coming back Alex." He bent down and kissed her, not terrified that she would repulse at his green finger caressing her cheeks.
"Thank you J'onn." She whispered
"Anything for you Alex." He gently lifted her face meeting his eyes and saw a smile appear on her face
"I wish you would always drop the Hank shape shift. I honestly prefer you." She gently kissed his jaw line
Suddenly his phone rang and he gave a small annoyed huff at being interrupted. Pulling out his phone he flung it open putting on his boss voice.
"Hen…J'onzz." He was still trying to get used to the fact that he could say his real name
"Sir there's been a change of plans. We have to attack project Cadmus tonight. We picked up information that they were going to be on the move tomorrow." Lucy's voice filled the room
"Okay then Director Lane, I'll be right down there." He flipped his phone off turning to Alex
"I'm coming to." Alex put in huffily
"Why does that not surprise me. Okay but on one condition."
"What?" She asked suspiciously
"You obey every command I give. If I tell you to run you do. If I say to hide you do it without complaint." He looked at her
"Okay. As long as you promise to not get captured."
"I can't promise that, but I will promise that I will try my hardest." He looked at her his eyes full of love. Alex nodded before going to kiss him.
"We'll get your father back. You'll be a family once again." There was a bit of sadness in his voice
"Remember J'onn, you're part of this family to. You are after all my boyfriend." She smirked
"I'll remember."
