Kara was probably happier than Alex that Alex moved into Lena's apartment. She just kept squealing and running around the place, as if she had never been there. Alex watched from the couch and Lena watched from the kitchen counter.
"Kara, are you done yet?" Alex asked, even though she knew the answer to that.
"No! You live here now!" Kara paused to point to Alex and then drew a circle with her finger. "You and Lena live here together. I can see you both together at the same time. This is so cool!" She let out a loud squeal, as if she could not see them both together before. She zipped around, like she did not know where to go, so she had to go everywhere. Lena might have to go check her office later, as there might be papers all over the floor since Kara often forgot her super-speed disturbed things.
Lena grabbed a peach and walked over to the couch. She handed the fruit to Alex, who was hungry, but had not said anything about it. She glanced at Lena, who just patted her shoulder before snuggling in close. She was dressed in black yoga pants and a baseball shirt, looking very cute and sexy, but not on purpose. She was dressed to help Alex move in, but Alex did not need the help considering her sister was Supergirl.
"Why did you invite her over? You know she's not going to stop," Lena said, head moving as if she was trying to track Kara. After a few seconds, she wisely gave up and turned her attention to Alex.
Alex bit her peach. "I needed someone to help me move. Who better than her?"
"J'onn would've helped just as well and he wouldn't be running around here like a hyper mouse. There are times when I question how I'm best friends with her." The smile on her face and the glimmer in her eyes belied that statement.
Alex arched an eyebrow. "Oh, you don't think this is adorable? You swear Kara's like the embodiment of cuteness."
"Well, she is, but I don't think I've seen her this way for hours on end," Lena replied.
Alex smiled. "I have. We've got about another hour. Then, she'll realize she's hungry. We should take this time to find a movie to keep her occupied once the rush wears off. I'll make her clean up whatever she messes up and she will mess up a lot, many times over as she keeps on gushing over this."
Lena smiled. "I know I say it a lot, but I love your relationship."
Alex was always pleased to know that since she and Kara were a packaged deal. Funny enough, as time went by, it was clear Lena and Kara were also a packaged deal. Alex loved that both Lena and Kara had someone they could rely so heavily on. If something ever happened to her, they would be there for each other and help each other get through.
"Get used to it. You'll be seeing a lot more of it now that I'm here," Alex said. Lena was already used to Kara's comings and goings, but it would probably get worse now that Alex officially lived at the penthouse.
"I look forward to it." Lena was positively radiant with joy and that made Alex feel like she could move mountains.
Alex wanted to say something, but there were no words. It was like when Lena asked her to move in a few days ago. Alex had stood there with her mouth open, but nothing coming out. Lena knew her so well, she understood Alex was flattered and gobsmacked, not turning her down, so she kissed Alex's open mouth and told her she could start moving in at any time. "Any time" turned out to be "already." Alex had moved in a while ago, but they had noticed. Some geniuses.
They found a movie to celebrate with as well as ordered some food. It arrived just as Kara was ready to sit her ass down. They were probably stuck with her for the next couple of days. Lena invited everyone over for a party tomorrow to welcome Alex "home." Kara would want to stay to "help" setup, which was really just her way of celebrating before everyone else came in. It was Kara's way of being part of her two favorite people's thing without having to share them. Alex did not mind and it did not seem like Lena did either.
"Oh, donuts!" Kara moved on the coffee table, loaded with Thai food, a couple of pizzas, donuts, and a cheesecake. It was not a surprise Kara wanted donuts first.
"You want something?" Alex asked Lena, who was pressed up against her side with no plans of letting go from what Alex could tell. She would not complain.
"I'm good." Lena moved Alex's arm and wrapped the limb around her shoulders. She then put her legs over Alex's, leaving Alex with no means of escape.
Alex brushed her hair back and smiled at her. "Yes, you are."
Kara clicked her tongue against her teeth. "Don't get all cute just yet, ladies. We have movies to watch and goodies to eat! We should do this in pajamas!"
"She's not leaving," Lena said.
"Oh, no, she's going to leave to go get pajamas and then she's not leaving," Alex replied.
Of course, Alex was right. Kara used her super-speed and came back in a teddy bear onesie that she would only dare wear around them. Lena threw her arms up, giving up completely. Alex laughed. She understood just how happy Kara was from this choice of pajamas. Kara was basically in emotional overload.
"You guys have to go put on pajamas, too," Kara said. "Go, but no funny business." She made a shooing motion and then grabbed a slice of pizza.
"Technically, I am in pajamas, but I would use a change from all the hard work I did today," Lena replied with a snicker. She had expected to be busier than she was.
Alex rolled her eyes, but stood up. She helped Lena to her feet. They made their way to the bedroom. Their bedroom now. Alex's bags were still stacked by the door, but she would unpack in the next couple of days. She did not have much to unpack. Lena took her hand and held it as they looked around, as if the room was somehow different now.
"Are you okay with this?" Lena asked.
Alex squared her shoulders. "I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to unpack and make myself more at home than I've already been. I spend most of my days here anyway. I had enough clothes at my apartment to fit in my gym bag." She motioned to the duffle bag.
Lena arched an eyebrow. "Then what's in the carryon?"
"That's literally everything else that I didn't need Kara to carry over. Just some knick-knacks and such. I didn't realize it until I was packing, but a lot of my stuff is here already," Alex replied. She was not sure when it started, but gradually her apartment had become a pitstop in between whatever she was doing and going to Lena's place.
Lena smiled. "And I'm happier for it."
"That makes two of us." Alex wrapped her arms around Lena and pulled her close, kissing her neck. "So happy, tomorrow, when everyone leaves, I'm going to carry you to this room, throw you on the bed, and make you scream my name."
"EW!" Kara screamed, which was the reaction Alex expected. It was her way of reminding them that she could hear them, so they did not do anything worse.
Alex laughed. "Stop spying, Stitch!"
"Pajamas, now!" Kara replied.
More laughter, but Lena and Alex changed. Lena slipped on Alex's college shirt and some jogging shorts. Alex was tempted to go caress her creamy legs, maybe even put a hand in her shirt. Lena seemed to read her mind again and gave her a look.
"Don't even think about it. Your sister is here," Lena said.
"Yeah, your sister is here!" Kara said.
"How could I forget? She's ruining my chance to get laid!" Alex replied.
Lena chuckled. "You will have plenty of chances. Come on, put on pajamas."
Alex stripped out of her shirt and just put on a black wife-beater and sweatpants. Lena grabbed her and studied her. Now, it was her turn to read Lena's mind. She mouthed, "tomorrow." Lena pouted and Alex kissed her. Lena returned the kiss and they had to step away from each other, or they would have dragged each other down and Kara would have screamed at them. They then marched back down to the couch and Kara cuddled into them.
Kara grinned. "This is the best." Then she sat up. "Wait, no!" She grabbed a donut and shoved it into her mouth and then laid back on them. "Okay, now this is the best." She had already finished off a pizza waiting for them.
Alex laughed and ran her fingers through Kara's hair before putting her arm around Lena again. Lena tucked in close. Kara was right.
"This is the best," Alex said. They all focused on the movie. It got better when she and Lena took turns feeding each other Thai food. Kara was kind enough not to say anything.

Lena was not used to hosting "family" gatherings in her home, but it was necessary now and maybe it would become a bit of a habit. For now, she wanted to make sure this was perfect, to make sure they were all comfortable celebrating in her home. Well, her home with Alex. Alex lived with her. Her heart fluttered.
For now, she had balloons, food, and cake. Kara had insisted on cake. She did not think it was a celebration without cake. Of course, with Kara around, Lena had to order the biggest cake, as Kara would eat most of it. The food was catered. And, there was champagne. Now, they just had to wait. Lena was not sure how much of it her nerves or stomach could take. She probably would not be able to eat any of the food.
Alex grabbed Lena's hand as they stood in the foyer. "It'll be fine, babe."
Lena smiled at her. "I know." Intellectually, she knew, but emotionally, she was raw and nervous.
"It's gonna be great!" Kara appeared in front of them, cheeks already stuffed.
"What could you possibly be eating already?" Lena turned to check on the table. If Kara opened any of the food… Lena blinked. "Why is there extra food out?" It was mostly junk food, stuff that would be at Kara's for a game night. A couple of bowls of chips, several dips, and cookies.
"I put out chips and stuff. You know she's not going to wait for everyone. She wouldn't want to give them top pick for food," Alex replied.
Lena knew that to be the truth, but had not taken that into account. Nerves. But, Kara was happy and not diving into junk food, so that was fine. Lena did not get a chance to worry over anything else as the elevator dinged and everyone stepped off into the foyer. Lena's stomach flipped.
What's wrong with you? These are your friends and they'll be happy to see you. Still, she had been nervous all day and it was only thanks to Alex that she had not put on a business suit for the affair. Instead, she put on a comfortable sundress that she forgot she even owned. It was a good thing, though, as everyone else was dressed quite casual, too. It was like they were going out for brunch together.
"Whoa!" Nia's eyes immediately went around the whole place. It was a lot to take in, especially since she was not used to it.
"Nice digs," M'gann said.
"Are you sure you want us riff-raff around here?" Nia chuckled as she hugged Lena.
"I would love to have you all here as often as possible. You've become my family," Lena replied.
"You've been family," Kara said.
Lena could feel the blush burning her skin, but she did not get a chance to focus on it. The group just started mingling. J'onn went in for hugs on his two charges, which Alex and Kara returned. Brainy stepped right to Lena, engaging her about updates he wanted to make to Alex's suit after seeing the punishment it could take. Lena was all ears. Alex came into the discussion, just adding her own observations for the suit and things she worked on that might work with the suit. Kara even popped over, wanting to discuss her own utility belt.
Time passed and Lena's nerves proved incorrect. The gathering was easy, being with them all was easy. They celebrated Lena and Alex with genuine joy, as expected. There were even "housewarming" gifts. Kara brought them a trivia game.
"So, you guys can host game night," Kara said.
The other gifts were similar, set up for them to host more people. M'gann gave them a couple of plants to liven up the place. The whole thing was warming. Lena had never felt so loved.
-8-8-8-8-
The party wrapped up. Everyone was all smiles and praise, wishing Lena and Alex the best in their cohabitation. Lena sighed and dropped to the couch as soon as they were gone. Alex was down right after her, gathering her in her arms.
"That was fun," Lena said as she made herself comfortable against Alex. As she shifted, she forced Alex onto her back, so she could use Alex as a mattress.
"It was everything I thought it would be and more," Alex replied as she hooked an arm around Lena's waist to secure her in place.
Lena purred from the press of their bodies. "Yes, that is very true. I know there was nothing to worry about, but I worried."
Alex kissed the top of her head. "We all knew that, but you shouldn't worry about family, babe. And, I know family gatherings have been tough for you. It's all right. You'll get used to them. They used to be tough for me, as well."
Lena pushed herself up, just enough to look at Alex. "Oh, really?"
"You have to remember me and my mom didn't always have the best relationship, so sometimes it made family gatherings tough. Made them tense. Then, even with our current lot, for a long time, I looked at them as Kara's people or friends, except for J'onn, of course. At least you have the benefit of having great relationships with everyone. You just have to get used to them being around. Well, around them in this environment. You get used to hosting. We have to do game night next month."
That they did. "I suppose I'll have to do more conventional foods." While she knew their friends and understood them quite well, hosting the housewarming was a little out of her comfort zone with them. She did not host parties with them, so she ordered food like she would at an office event. No one said anything, enjoying the food, but it was a little distant and she only understood that once things were underway.
"It's not the food. It's the company. You can have pizza or you can have lobster. It's just about us being together. It doesn't have to be perfect. I would say there doesn't even have to be food, but Kara would revolt more than likely," Alex replied.
Lena laughed. "Oh, yeah. She'd definitely throw a tantrum."
"Yes, but let's not talk about her. This was a successful little soiree. So, how about we celebrate?" Alex smiled as she caressed the small of Lena's back.
Lena smirked and a shudder rippled through her. "Is this about the promise you made me last night before we had to have a pajama party?"
"This has everything to do with it."
Lena purred and then nuzzled Alex, putting her mouth close to Alex's ear. "I really, really want you to carry me to our bed."
"All you have to do is say the word."
"I'm saying it right now." She nipped Alex's earlobe.
Alex smiled again and Lena got up, shoes already off, somewhere under the couch. Alex followed her and Lena outright giggled as Alex grabbed her close. The kissing was expected as they moved toward the hall. Before they got there, Alex scooped her up and Lena squealed as she threw her hands around Alex's neck.
"This is so fucking hot," Lena said.
Alex grinned. "I love that you think so."
Before Lena realized it, they were in the bedroom and Alex placed her at the foot of the bed. They were kissing again and her hands went to Alex's shirt, easily pulling it off, leaving her in a rather sexy black, demi cut bra. The kiss was broken and then Lena's hands went right to Alex's pants. She wasted no time getting rid of those for Alex while Alex reached behind her, unzipping her dress. Alex stepped away to step out of her pants, having to kick off her boots first, and Lena wiggled out of her dress. Alex's breath hitched and Lena smirked.
"You like?" Lena had on a royal blue lace bra and matching panties.
"You are so fucking beautiful," Alex replied.
"So are you. Stand up for me." Lena wanted to admire her hero.
Alex obliged, moving away from her pants, socks, and boots. While she did that, Lena moved to the head of the bed. She settled against the pillows as Alex stood to face her properly. Alex was lean, but so cut. She was like a statue.
"You're what I imagine Artemis to look like," Lena said.
Alex blinked. "You think so?" It probably never occurred to her, spending so much time in the shadow of a near-god, that she was practically a demigod on her own.
"Oh, yes. You're perfectly cut, my warrior." Lena crooked her finger to Alex.
Alex smiled and crawled onto the bed. Lena reached out for her as soon as she could touch her, caressing Alex's wonder, bare skin. Alex kissed her and kissed her and kissed her. It was perfect and Lena needed more, pulling Alex down to her. Her body trembled at the touch of Alex's body on top of hers.
"What do you want?" Alex asked before placing several wet kisses to her shoulder.
"Just you. I want your body on my body. You with me," Lena replied.
"I'll give you all that and more."
Lena smiled and was surprised by the emotion that bubbled up in her. "You've already given me so much more."
"I want to give you everything in my power. I love you so much."
Lena's eyes stung and she sniffled. "You're going to make me cry. I love you, too."
"I know you do." Alex shifted, putting her weight on one arm to caress Lena's cheek with the other. "You can cry in front of me anytime. You can always be yourself with me, like I can always be myself with you. You can be brilliant. You can be bold. You can be brave. But, more than that, you can be scared. You can be silly. You can be anything you want or need and I'll be here."
And there was the tear. Alex wiped it away with her thumb and Lena pushed up to press a short kiss to her lips. "You can be all those things with me as well."
"I know. Believe me, I know."
Lena could see the sincerity in Alex's eyes. "But, do you know how much I want to just lose myself in your eyes, in your soul as we make love in our bed?"
Alex groaned. "I want that, too."
Lena's response was to kiss Alex and drag her blunt nails over Alex's powerful shoulders. Alex hissed into her mouth. Alex positioned her thigh between Lena's legs, getting right to it. Lena moaned as her hips moved on that strong thigh.
"Lemme hear you, baby," Alex whispered into Lena's ear and then dragged her teeth down Lena's neck.
Lena whined and soaked her rather expensive underwear in no time. Alex sucked on her throat, sure to leave a mark and then caressed her side with a delicate touch. The hand on her side went to her hip and then slipped into her panties. Her breath hitched.
"Look at me, babe," Alex said.
It took a lot of Lena's willpower to concentrate enough to do as asked. She opened her eyes and locked eyes with Alex right before Alex slipped inside of her. She threw her head back as pleasure shot through her and then those wonderful fingers were gone. She whined again, mourning the loss.
"You have to look at me, Lena, or I'll stop," Alex said.
Lena let out a long cry and opened her eyes, wanting to look at Alex, wanting to see Alex like Alex saw her. "I will look at you always, forever."
Alex gave her a gentle kiss. "I'll always see you, Lena. Always."
Lena bit her lip and Alex kissed her again while easing back inside of her. Lena gripped Alex's arms as her hips jumped, chasing Alex's touch. She did not take her eyes off of Alex and Alex stared at her as if she could see into the very depths of Lena. It was so much more intimate than what Alex was doing with her fingers.
"I love you," Alex whispered, like it was a secret, but it was not. Everyone knew. The world knew this amazing woman loved her, saw something in her that was worthy of passion and affection.
Lena whimpered as her body felt like it was beyond her control. Alex's fingers and gaze had her pinned and had ecstasy going through her in a steady ebb and flow. Deeper and deeper. Then, Alex adjusted, using her thigh as leverage and two fingers turned into three. Lena hissed and dug her fingers in harder. Alex gave her more, caressing her clit with her thumb, all the while maintaining eye contact. It was too much for Lena and she exploded, calling out Alex's name.
"I got you, Lena. I got you," Alex said as she rained down soft kisses on Lena's cheeks, neck, and lips.
Lena could not speak. It took her a long moment to gather herself and then all she wanted was for Alex to feel what she just felt. So, as soon as she was able, she flipped them. Alex laughed as she ended up on her back. Lena straddled her thighs, sitting up to give her another good look at her bra and underwear.
"These are cute," Lena said.
"Yeah, I don't think I pull off sexy lingerie quite the same way you do." Alex reached up to caress her breast through the material.
"Take a good look and get a good feel because I'm taking this off as soon as your hand moves," Lena said.
Alex arched an eyebrow. "Oh, really?" She stroked Lena's breast, pressing down on her nipple.
Lena moaned. "Yes." She leaned down and flicked her tongue against Alex's lips. "I want to feel all of you when I make you come."
Alex groaned. "I really like the lingerie, though."
Lena sat up again. "Then, get a good look." She arched her back and Alex groaned again. With that done, she wasted no time taking off her bra. She let it fall to the front of her and then flung it behind her.
Alex's hands went right to her bare breasts and while it sent sparks through her, Lena was much more interested in Alex's breasts. She kissed both before taking a nipple into mouth. The moan that escaped Alex was almost cute.
"Do you know what it's like to know I have such a powerful woman under my control?" Lena asked before licking her way to Alex's navel.
Alex laughed. "Considering the fact that I just made one of the strongest women on Earth come on my fingers, yeah, I think I have some idea."
"You think you're so clever." Lena did not give Alex a chance to respond, going right for the prize. Alex trembled against her as Lena did exactly what she wanted to. Alex was sweet on her tongue. She kissed Alex, licked her, and loved her, all the while maintaining eye contact. Alex did the same, threading her fingers through Lena's hair.
The eye contact was just as powerful as before. All Lena wanted to do was stare at Alex and give her pleasure. Alex's eyes glowed, pouring out her love for Lena as much as her body gave her passion. She moaned and whimpered and then cried out to the ceiling as her body shook. Lena kept her mouth pressed to Alex, just wanting to taste her and taste her and taste her.
"Oh, Lena!" Alex buckled and Lena had to move or risk getting injured.
Lena waited for Alex to catch her breath and then took her favorite place, lying on top of Alex. Alex wrapped her arms around Lena and pressed her close. There was a nice comfortable silence. That was one of the best things about being with Alex — comfortable silences. They both got a chance to just be.
"Welcome home," Lena said.
"Same to you," Alex replied. Yes, they were both home.
