Conversations on a Balcony
89
A/N: Comments and reviews are much appreciated, My Lovelies. This series has become larger than I'd imagined, and I do have some more stories to tell, but I definitely need the encouragement!
"Good evening, Gentlemen."
The two guys, sitting on the small balcony outside their tiny apartment and quite obviously high as kites, looked up to find a very serious looking superhero hovering a few feet above them. They were on the twentieth floor and a light breeze fluttered the hero's cape around her, creating an intimidating picture.
"Holy shit," one of the men said, squinting his eyes to make sure he was really seeing what he thought he was seeing. "Dude, it's the real fuckin' Supergirl!"
Kara ignored that for now and crossed her arms over her chest. "Which one of you is John Baskar?"
The other man swallowed and slowly raised his hand as the hero touched down in the tiny space and stepped up to him. She was taller by a couple of inches and he had to lift his eyes to gaze at her. The first man's mouth dropped open. "Holy shit," he said again. "She's even hotter IRL. You should ask her to do Fuckfest for real, Man!"
Kara turned her head to look at him, eyes beginning to glow orange. "LEAVE. NOW."
With a whimper and scuttling like an octopus, the man scrambled back into the apartment, grabbed his stuff and fled, leaving his buddy to face the music alone.
Kara let her eyes cool as she looked back at Baskar. "So," she began. "A little bird told me that you're an amateur film maker?"
The man nodded. "Y-yeah."
"And that you're quite adept at making deep fakes?"
Baskar swallowed but nodded again. "Yeah."
"Including a rather unsavory porn video of me."
The man smirked at that, brown eyes creasing. "Unsavory? Depends on who you ask. I thought it was pretty fucking awSURGH…"
Kara's temper snapped, and she grabbed him by the throat to lift him up over the balcony rail and dangle him in midair. His hands grabbed her arm as he fought to breathe. "My spouse is VERY upset, and since their opinion is the only one that matters to me, I'd say that qualifies."
"Ok Ok!" Baskar wheezed. "You're upset, I get it, Dude!"
"Oh, I'd say I'm a little more than upset, DUDE," the Kryptonian growled. She flipped him effortlessly midair and then caught him by one foot to dangle him upside down. "I'm absolutely FUCKING FURIOUS." She gave him a little shake and he cried out in terror. "You made the person I love most in this world cry, and you're going to pay." She grinned terrifyingly. "Goodbye."
Then Kara let him go and leaned on the railing to listen to him scream at the top of his lungs all the way down, laughing softly then as she dove off the balcony and shot to the ground to catch him just before he hit the pavement. He was shaking like a leaf and covered the spreading, wet stain in his pants with his hands as she set him on his feet and patted his cheek gently. "Get out of the movie business," she warned. "Or next time, I won't bother catching you." Then she smiled happily. "Have a nice rest of your evening, Sir."
And with that, she lifted her fist and shot into the air and away. Baskar's teeth chattered, then his eyes rolled back, and he fainted dead away, wearing only one shoe.
Kara just laughed again.

"Did you get to talk to him?" Cat asked as Kara touched down, walked the few steps to the hot tub and leaned down to kiss her smiling wife.
"You could say that, yeah." Kara set her glasses on her nose to let her suit melt away, then set them on the small table next to her and slipped out of her underwear to get into the tub. She seated herself and leaned back against her wife's chest, smiling as Cat's arms closed around her. After a moment, the older woman's hand ran slowly across Kara's stomach to caress the barely-there swell of her baby bump.
"Did you threaten him?"
"You could also say that, yeah," the younger blonde sniggered.
Cat chuckled softly and kissed along her wife's shoulder, smile broadening as Kara closed her eyes and sighed contentedly. "Any pain, Darling?"
Kara looked back over her shoulder, blue eyes full of love. "I've never felt better actually."
"You're glowing," the older woman said gently. "You're always so beautiful but Kara… you're carrying my baby… OUR baby… and every time I look at you…" Cat shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. "My God, I almost drown in happiness."
For a moment, Kara just blinked in awe, but then she turned her body and surged into her wife to kiss her with everything she was, trying to convey to her, in a single motion, just how much she loved and needed her. Then she eased back, grinning happily as she cleared Cat's tears with gentle strokes of her thumbs. "Softy."
