Chapter 14
"So Lena wanted to come over but I told her that you'd be in the office tomorrow and that right now you needed your sleep," Mon-El as they entered Kara's apartment. It was nearing eleven pm and it had been a long day. After spending, two hours in the sun suit, Kara's powers had returned, the super-concentrated sun beams proved to be all she needed.
"I appreciate that. To be honest I think I need another shower before I go to bed. I mean I took one at the DEO but I still don't feel clean," the blonde admitted as she set her purse and her keys down on the stand near the door.
"I know what you mean. That suit is ridiculous; when it comes to the sweating," he chuckled, as he locked the deadbolt on the door.
"Up until I put that suit on, I didn't even think it was possible for me to sweat to be honest," Kara said.
"Well I proved that wrong, as your sheets can attest," for that Mon-El got an elbow in the ribs.
"What? Was I wrong?" He asked. Kara laughed and rolled her eyes. She started to move toward the bathroom, stripping off clothing as she went. Mon-El dropped the gym bag holding both of their superhero outfits on the floor. He scooped up her clothes and deposited them in the hamper before quickly stripping out of his clothes and depositing them in the hamper as well. The water in the shower started and he quickly scooted into the bathroom.
"I'm coming in, ready or not," he teased. Kara laughed as Mon-El hopped into the back of the shower, right behind her. His hands took the already lathered up body puff out of the blonde's grasp, noticing she didn't put up a fight. Soon his hands and the bath puff were roaming all over Kara's body.
"I wasn't sure I'd ever get to do this again," he whispered.
"You and me both," Kara admitted. There was no point in trying to cover up her fear. It wasn't until everything hurt that she realized how close she was to never coming back. The fall from the building had seemed longer than it should have been and all sorts of bad things passed through her mind.
"This was going to be a working shower," she teased Mon-El as she suddenly felt his front up against her back.
"I think we're way past that," he said. Kara only nodded, knowing that they both needed this, if only to prove to one another that she had survived and was still here. The bath puff was soon forgotten and the shower ran long enough that they probably used up the entire building's hot water.
Later, they lie in bed, just holding each other. Kara's head lay on Mon-El's chest, he could tell that she was sleeping soundly by the way her chest rose and fell. He, on the other hand, was too afraid to sleep. Despite having their long shower, he grew concerned about how much longer they would have each other. Reign was still out there. It was also possible that other Worldkillers had come to Earth as well. It terrified him, especially since Reign seemed to be hard enough to handle.
"You're thinking very loudly," Kara mumbled.
"I thought you were sleeping," he said.
"If you don't sleep, I don't sleep," she told him, solely opening her eyes.
"Well that won't do us any good," Mon-El shook his head. Kara moved her head up and started to lightly kiss his neck, working her way up to his lips while her hands found their way up underneath the bottom of his shirt, touching and feeling every square inch of his skin.
"Don't start something unless you intend to finish it," he said after she pulled her lips away from his. She only waggled her eyebrows as she pulled his shirt up and Mon-El was only happy to help her get it off of him.
"Remind me that we're here together and this isn't another dream," Kara told him. His hands quickly found her shirt and did the same as she'd just done to him.
"It's no dream, I promise," he said.
