Kyle sat in the living room, looking over a couple of photos from the paparazzi. He knew that the chance if he was Kara would be lower that this would have happened. Because Kara doesn't live in the most expensive apartment in National City. But now they had to explain to the world that they were married- and have children. This would make everything way worse than it was. Which meant- that Kyle had to protect his children even more.
But- he could do it. He always can. Since he is an El, for Rao's sake. He sighed, seeing another photo on the internet. He knew he had to text Cat, giving her the prize of breaking the silence. But- He had to talk to Lena about it, so he stood up and walked to the playroom, since he knew they would be there.
He opened the door and was greeted by Lena and Lori playing with some blocks and Lucas happily lying on a mat. Lena and Lori looked at Kyle when he entered the room, Lori quickly stood up and rushed towards him. Kyle just chuckled and grabbed her before she could slam into his legs and held her close.
"So Lori, what were you and your mother making?" Kyle glanced at Lena, who was standing up with a smile on her face.
"A castle!" Kyle chuckled due to his daughter's enthusiasm, clearly she had her mother's genes since she got excited about building and stuff.
But with that Kyle placed Lori down and said "Go on, build further. So I can take a picture of it when you finish it," Lori nodded and quickly rushed back to her blocks, building further. Kyle grinned and looked at Lena again, he slowly walked towards her and captured her lips with his, enjoying the feeling of her lips on his again.
When they parted he moved a lock of Lena's hair behind her ear and whispered "We need to talk to Cat, break the story," Lena slowly nodded, probably she hadn't had time to think about it. He moved closer again, and whispered against Lena's lips "I'm sorry, but I will do anything to protect them." Lena slowly nodded again, and with that he captured her lips.
When they parted Kyle gave her one last kiss on her head and promised "Everything will be okay." Lena smiled a little, but Kyle knew she had problems with it. So he quickly went to his little boy and started to play with him.
Kyle had texted Cat. He had done it, knowing Lena would support him in this decision even though his wife had to think about stuff like this. But- knowing Lena, it would all be okay.
Kyle was downstairs, he had his eyes closed as he laid on the couch. Lucas was having a nap, so he thought he could have one too. Suddenly a phone went off, he groaned in frustration. But he rubbed his eyes and stood up, ready to answer whatever phone was going off.
He followed the noise and was greeted by a sort of control pad. He pushed the answer button and with that he saw a live feed of his elevator. He knew that thing was high tech, but this- this was cool. A robotic voice spoke up "Answer yes to send the elevator up, answer no to deny access."
Kyle looked confused but saw that it was Cat in his elevator, so hesitantly he said "Yes?" And with that the call ended, but the live feed was still there. He wanted to investigate this thing, but he knew Cat would be up in no time- which was strange, Cat visiting him. So he quickly rushed to the door and opened it. Over his shoulder he yelled for Lena that Cat was coming for some reason. And she quickly answered with "Coming!"
Kyle groaned at himself, remembering that the children were in bed. So he hoped they weren't woken by the sound. With that he focused on the elevator at the end of the corridor again. The doors slid open. He took a deep breath and with that Cat walked out and towards him, her sunglasses still on.
When Cat came closer he opened the door more, for her to walk past him. But she didn't, because she pulled Kyle into a hug, making the man stiffen. Cat seemed to notice since she pulled away and asked "Something wrong Kyle?"
Kyle quickly shook his head, maybe it was a bit too quick since Cat looked visibly irritated by the gesture "Kyle David Grant, why are you lying to me?" Kyle visibly flinched by the tone Cat was using.
He gulped his saliva down due to her hard stare as he mumbled "Just nervous."
Cat nodded and with that she walked past him "Where is Lena?"
He quickly followed him and was going to answer but Lena appeared at the top of the stairs. "Cat!" Lena quickly walked down the stairs and engulfed the shorter woman in a hug. Kyle smiled at the sight of Lena and Cat hugging, but something was bugging him. Because in the old world, where he was Kara, Cat knew due to her being friends with Lena. But here- here he had her last name and she acted like a mother towards him.
But he knew he couldn't think about since the woman was there at that moment. Hugging his wife. So he decided to just walk to the living room and to try to keep the conversations to a minimum. When it was just him, Lena and the kids it was fairly easy. Since they wouldn't be different, they were just his children and his wife. The only thing that changed was him and not them.
But this- this was different. And it scared him. So he just sat down and waited for them to come to him. But otherwise he would just wait- and be a scared man.
