Author's Note: Obviously, I'm starting late but I've been busy. I usually find out about these prompt challenges long after they are over so since one of the Supercorp Authors I follow on AO3 (spacemanearthgirl) was doing the challenge, I came into it while it was still active. Chances are the chapters will not be as long as my other story chapters but I am determined to keep the entire story within the same universe. This means that the concept I have built here in Chapter 1, will continue into the entire month. I'm hoping I can keep the story in order, it's going to be a challenge because the prompts are all over the place, but I think it'll be a fun challenge.

I've never written a story like this either so that in itself will be a challenge, writing a story with the characters already in an established relationship.

Day 1 Theme: Ring

Rating is T for now, will definitely change later on.

Have Fun Reading.

Chapter 1 - The Ring

Lena stood in the middle of their kitchen sipping coffee from her mug as she watched the news on the TV. The newscaster was currently talking about Supergirl's rescue early this morning. Lena had gotten up a couple of hours after Kara had returned from the building fire they were talking about, because she had to get ready for work. Whereas Kara was still sleeping in their bedroom.

"Supergirl saves the day once again in the early hours of the morning. She was seen rescuing several families from the Townston Apartment building in downtown National City." The female news reporter spoke holding onto a piece of paper glancing down at it every so often.

"The fire had started around 1am this morning and Supergirl arrived not too long afterward. The hero helped fire and rescue get all of the families out safely and then stuck around to help put the fire out. She was seen flying away sometime after 5am this morning. While the people of National City will always be grateful to Supergirl for her help, the fire is not what everyone is talking about this morning." The female reported with an extra bit of excitement in her voice as they were the first station to bring this detail up.

A picture of supergirl during the rescue came up onto the screen. They zoomed into the photo to Supergirl's left hand, a silver band seen quite clearly on her right finger. It shining in the light while the rest of supergirl was black from the soot.

"As you can see in the image seen on the screen, Supergirl is wearing what clearly appears to be a platinum wedding band. A ring that has not been captured on video before today. So the question on everyone's mind today is; who is the lucky individual that was able to capture the heart of our dear superhero." The reporter smirked into the camera.

Lena put down her mug on the island and made her way to their bedroom. She pushed the door open to the dark room, the light from the hallway cascading over the blonde, who was still very much asleep on the king sized bed.

Kara was lying on her stomach, her left arm hanging partially off the bed, her head faced away from the open doorway, her hair spread out on the pillow.

Lena didn't want to wake the hero from her sleep but she had to know why Kara had left her ring on when going out as supergirl. They had decided a week prior while on their honeymoon, that it would be best to keep their marriage out of the spotlight. While it obviously wouldn't be clear who was married to Supergirl, it would cause people to dig a little more, at which point Kara's identity might be at risk.

This was a bridge that they decided they would cross when it came up, Lena just didn't think it would be coming up so quickly.

Lena sat down on the edge of the bed, she placed her right hand on Kara's back, "Kara…" she spoke softly, not wanting to startle her awake. "Darling, wake up," she used a little more pressure and shook Kara in hopes of waking her up.

"Mmm… five more minutes…" Kara mumbled in her sleep, as she lifted up just enough to turn her head to face toward Lena on her left, her eyes still closed.

Kara looked so at peace in this moment, making Lena want to just leave this conversation for later. However, a part of her knew that if the roles were reversed and Kara had found something out about them, that she'd do everything in her power to tell Lena as soon as possible. Regardless of the time of day.

Ever since Kara had told Lena years ago about her true identity, they had made a promise to never keep anything from each other, no matter what it was about. So far, that's worked for them.

Lena leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Kara's temple, whispering, "Kara, I need you to wake up."

Kara's eyes opened moments after Lena's lips left her temple, "Lena, what is it?" She asked rubbing her eyes with her left hand, staying in her position on the bed in hopes that whatever Lena had to say would be short so she could go right back to sleep.

"Do you remember our promise to each other while on our honeymoon?" Lena asked looking down at Kara's silver band on her left hand.

Kara didn't notice the slight look and looked at her a little confused, "Can you be more specific?" She asked as she slowly rolled over from her stomach and onto her back so she could look at Lena with more ease. It wasn't that she could get a crick in her neck from laying on her stomach and looking at Lena, she just figured that this wasn't going to be a short conversation.

Lena reached for Kara's left hand with her right hand, "We decided that when you were out as Supergirl, you wouldn't wear your wedding band, remember?"

"And I haven't been…" Kara's voice went quiet as she looked over to her left hand noticing the silver band on her ring finger when it hit her. She had gotten home, showered and immediately went to sleep. At no point when she came home, did she put her ring back on which meant only one thing… "Oh no, I forgot to take it off when I left…" Her eyes opened wide as she sat up from the bed, all amounts of sleep leaving her body.

Lena nodded.

"Wait, how do you know that?" Kara asked now confused that Lena knew such a specific detail so soon after. She had only been sleeping for a little over two hours.

"The number one story on the news this morning is all about who Supergirl might be married too." Lena stated waiting to see what kind of reaction Kara was going to give her. What she got was not what she was expecting.

"Well, is it really that big of a deal?" Kara asked wanting to discuss this with Lena ever since they'd gotten back from their honeymoon. Before Lena could answer, Kara continued, "It takes a lot of effort for me to remember to take the ring off. If I'm being honest, this is actually not the first time I accidently left it on." She chuckled, looking at Lena sheepishly. "I guess it's just the first time, they were able to get a complete picture of it."

Lena's brows scrunched in confusion, "What other times did you forget?"

Kara tilted her head up in thought before answering, "Well, there was the time yesterday when I stopped that bus from colliding with that family on 46th street. Then there was that shootout at the bank on the corner of 26th and 3rd, two days ago, and then of course the day we got back from our honeymoon, I stopped that plane from crashing."

"It's happened that many times," Lena asked actually quite shocked at the amount of times Kara had already been wearing her ring as supergirl.

Kara nodded, "There's probably a couple more times, honestly, I always forget to take the ring off." She shrugged it off like it was nothing. "Ever since you put it on my finger, I haven't wanted to take it off, and while I could easily put it on a chain and wear it around my neck, it wouldn't be the same. It's honestly quite amazing that this is the first sighting of it."

"Aren't you worried that someone might find out who you are, if you continue wearing your ring?" Lena asked seeming more concerned about Kara's identity than Kara herself.

Kara shrugged, "To be honest, not really." She stopped and picked up Lena's left hand with her right hand admiring Lena's wedding band, and engagement ring, "You and I have been through so much in the years that we've known each other, and while I could do better to remember to take my ring off, or leave it at home, I really don't want to. It's a symbol of our love and I don't really care who knows it. But if you really want me to take it off-"

Lena cut off Kara as she leaned forward connecting their lips together in a slow but passionate kiss. She pulled back and leaned her forehead on Kara's, being reminded once again just why she had fallen so hard for Kara.

"Wow… what was that for?" Kara asked still feeling dazed whenever Lena kissed her with so much passion, even after getting married after two years of dating.

"For being you," Lena answered with the simplest answer to such a big question as she pulled back to look Kara in the eyes. "You always look at things just a little differently. Where I might see fear in something, you always look to the light."

Kara smiled as she felt her cheeks warm over the blush that crept over her skin hidden by the darkness of the room, "You know I love you right?"

Lena smiled, "Yes I do. I love you too," She leaned in again and connected their lips once more, lingering in the kiss, relishing in the feeling of Kara's lips upon her own before pulling apart. "Now go back to sleep, darling, I'll see you later, okay?"

Lena tried to stand up from the bed, but Kara was quicker and pulled on Lena's right hand bringing her back down onto the bed, reconnecting their lips. Kara tried deepening the kiss by pulling Lena down on top of her, but even she doesn't have the strength to keep Lena from being late for work.

"Nope, later," Lena pulled herself out of Kara's grip somehow and stood up from the bed. She watched Kara's bottom lip poke out in a pout. "I am not going to be the reason that you complain all day that you are so tired. Besides, I have a meeting as soon as I get in and I will not be late again. Come see me later on in the day."

Kara sighed in annoyance but understood where Lena was coming from and decided to comply with her wishes. She laid back down on the bed, pulling the covers back over her body as Lena closed the door behind her putting the room into darkness again.
