Most couples don't spend too much time thinking about the likelihood that they might die before they reach advanced age. That being said, Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor were not most couples. Power couple doesn't begin to cover it with one half of the couple being a literal superhero and the other half being a powerful business woman, scientist and all that remained of a once powerful family best known for their thirst for power. Between the attempts made on Lena's life due to her being a Luthor and the injuries that Kara sustained during her Supergirl work, the couple was familiar with the ever present threat of them getting seriously hurt and potentially dying. That didn't make it any easier for them of course. Lena feared the Kara would forget that while she is bulletproof, she is not immortal and Kara feared the Lena would forget that she had a family now that would absolutely care if she was hurt and killed. Usually, when Kara was injured, Lena was called to the DEO where she would be tended to with a combo of sunlamps and any modern science needed to save her, but today the tables had turned.

Kara had been handling a lower level alien situation and by the time she was back at the DEO she was met with a serious looking Alex. Kara was ready for a lecture about over working herself or something like that and she held her hands up in defense the second she was in front of her sister.

"I promise I will go sit on the sunlamp bed for a while before I go home. I'm sorry." Alex caught her sister's arm before she could walk away.

"You aren't going to the sun bed. We are going to the hospital." Alex gently pulled on Kara's arm and she followed her sister, but did not understand. "Alex why, I'm not injured."

"We aren't going to the hospital for you Kara. And you are gonna want to change." Alex hit the button for the elevator and tried not to make eye contact with her sister and Kara knew something was up.

"Alex. Why do we need to go to a real hospital if not for me?" Alex pushed her sister into the elevator and hit the button before she answered. "Because that is where Lena is. She was in a car accident and the hospital called your phone while you were out. And before you panic she is alive and was wearing a seatbelt in the town car so she is going to be fine." Kara was stunned as Alex rapid fire answered her questions.

"And please don't take off flying because you need to walk in there as Kara Danvers not Supergirl and I know if you take of flying you will forget to change and that is dangerous for you and Lena." The elevator dinged as they reached the ground floor and Alex took advantage of Kara being surprised as she dragged her to the car and quickly told the agent driving to step on it. As the car started moving, Kara finally snapped back into reality and began to change out of her suit while grilling Alex.

"Did they say what happened? Was it a deliberate crash?"

"The nurse said they took the other driver into custody because they were clearly on something. This wasn't an attack on her life Kara, it was just bad timing, not because she is a Luthor."

"But she is gonna be ok right?" Alex felt bad for her sister, because usually, when Lena was in danger, Kara had the distinct advantage of saving her and knowing she is safe. Today Kara had to trust other people to keep Lena safe and Alex knew that inside that killed her sister.

"The nurse said the so far everything they ran in terms of tests were clear and aside from a broken right arm and a small bump on her head from the air bag she is fine. No surgery needed, just some pain meds and rest for a few weeks." Kara had follow up questions, but thankfully they had just pulled up to the hospital and she and Alex bailed out of the SUV quickly and Alex had to run after her sister, who even at human level running was a challenge to keep up with when she was worried. Kara reached the nurses desk and frantically started asking for Lena Luthor. The nurse sitting behind the desk looked up at the frantic woman and didn't seem phased by the fearful family member.

"That must make you her wife. She has been asking for you since they brought her in." Kara was about to correct the woman, but never got the chance.

"She is in observation 4. They just gave her some pain meds so she might be a bit loopy or tired, but once they confirm her other tests are clear you are free to take her home." The nurse got called away, leaving Kara and Alex to look at each other and shrug shoulders before heading to where Lena was being treated. When they stepped into the small room off the nursing station, Kara rushed to the side of the bed and gently laid her hand on Lena's shoulder.

"Lena. Honey wake up, its me." Lena slowly turned to her head toward Kara, following the sound of her voice before she opened her eyes. Kara could tell instantly that they had given Lena some powerful drugs as her girlfriend had the glazed over look in her eyes she only has when she has been drunk. Lena smiled and seemed very proud of herself.

"I told the nurse that you'd come pick me up and save me." Kara smirked a little at the drowsy tone Lena had to her voice: it would have been cute if not for the circumstances they were in.

"There are easier ways to get my attention you know. You didn't have to go get in an accident." Kara offered Lena a gentle kiss, careful not to touch the part of Lena's face and forehead that had some bruising and injuries from the airbag.

"I didn't mean to scare you. I honestly didn't think anything was that bad until I tried to move my arm. Is my driver alright?" Kara looked over to Alex who nodded with a thumbs up.

"Alex talked with the authorities and they said he is fine. I'm sure we can call later and check on him, but right now I am far far more concerned with you. How's your pain?" Lena shifted slightly in the bed and winced, but was able to reposition herself.

"Not great, but they gave me pain meds after they wrapped the cast, said it might take a few minutes. Don't worry, I'll live. You aren't getting rid of me so easy." Lena used her uninjured hand to trace Kara face.

"Good, I wouldn't want to become a widow before we even get engaged." Lena looked confused, but was too drugged to connect the dots. Kara nodded toward the door, "the nurse said when you came in you were asking them to call your wife and telling them I would come get you."

Lena wanted to kick herself for letting the title slip, but her body was finally starting to respond to the medicine she had been given and everything felt pretty great. "Well I was right, you did come get me."

Kara smiled and kissed the inside of Lena's wrist that still seemed to be tracing her face. "I will always come get you, but there is the small matter that I am not your wife Lena. Not yet anyway." Kara meant it as a half-hearted joke. She didn't mean for Lena to pause in thought and then look Kara dead in the eye, "that's true, we should fix that." Alex stood in the door way, unsure what to do, because watching this was both funny and touching. Kara tried to act calm and tell herself that Lena was drugged and had no filter or control over what she was saying.

"And we will fix it one day soon, I promise, but how about for now we get you packed up and we go home?" Kara began to pull away and Lena reached out and gently grabbed her hand.

"Screw one day soon, marry me." Kara and Alex both immediately responded with a wide open mouth, neither believing what they just heard. Kara collected herself best she could again telling herself that Lena would likely have proposed to the closest hospital staff member in the state she was in.

"Lena, I love you more than anyone, but baby, you are on so many drugs right now." Lena pulled gently on Kara's hand to pull her closer to the bed.

"I could be on every pain killer known to modern science and none of them would ever change my mind about asking you to marry me. I didn't say it because I am high, I said it because I said my wife was coming to get me and I'll be damned if I don't at least leave this hospital with you as my fiancé. Also, I don't want a life without you in it anymore, so forget the drugs I am on and answer my question. Will you marry me?" Kara now knew that Lena was anything but kidding and that this was in fact an honest proposal. She gently took Lena head in her hands, again mindful of the injuries and with tears in her eyes, a stupid grin plastered across her face and a shaky voice that betrayed her emotions she answered, "My love for you is a puzzle for which I have no answers. I can't control it and now I don't care. I truly deeply love you." Lena smiled wide and ignored her facial injuries and pulled Kara in to kiss her, leaving Alex to be thoroughly confused in the corner.

"I'm sorry, did you just propose to my baby sister in the ER of a hospital and Kara was that even an answer?" Kara pulled away from Lena and they both smiled and Lena looked over to Alex, "I did and her answer was more than appropriate as it was a line from Star Wars." Alex rolled her eyes and laughed, "of course it was. Damn it Kara, most people on this planet are happy just saying yes to that question. You two nerds deserve each other." Alex's loving sarcasm made Kara beam as she looked at her sister.

"Does that mean we have your blessing?" Kara meant it as a joke, but Alex smiled and nodded, "you've had my blessing for months, ever since this one asked me for it after she bought the ring." Kara was shocked at her sister's words and looked fast to Lena, "you asked Alex if you could marry me?"

"I asked for her blessing, not her permission. I know our world is sort of weird in its customs, but I figured you'd appreciate me asking the person you trust and love most for their blessing to ask you to marry me. I am nothing if not a gentleman." Lena laughed harder at her own joke than she normally would have due to the meds and Kara had to laugh too. They were interrupted by a nurse coming in with discharge papers and orders for medications for Lena to take home with her. Kara made quick work of the forms, leaving Alex to go call the other agent to bring around the car to take them all home. When Alex told them the car was waiting out front, Kara helped Lena get up and find her footing, but then she quickly and effortlessly picked Lena up bridal style and headed toward the door.

"You know they probably want me to leave in a wheelchair right?"

"You told them your wife was coming to pick you up and I believe I just did exactly that. Besides, what kind of wife would I be if I didn't carry my bride to the car." Alex followed behind them and balanced her joy for her sister with some healthy sarcasm, "you guys just got engaged and you are already this grossly cute about it? God, we are in such trouble."
