Hours later Kara finally woke up when she felt the warmth she always felt when Lena and she shared a bed shift. She turned over, eyes still shut and searched for Lena with her free arm and she eventually felt Lena's shoulder and without much effort pulled the CEO close to her so Lena's body was pressed against her own.

"It is so unfair when you use your powers in bed." Kara smiled and opened her eyes slightly to see Lena leaning on her elbow, looking at Kara with a goofy grin on her face.

"I have very vivid memories of you telling me you like when I use my powers in bed." Kara leaned over and kissed Lena deeply, but without the pressure of it developing into something more. The CEO returned the kiss and without Kara really registering what happened she quickly threw her leg over Kara's body so that she was straddling Kara's waist, a very proud smile on her lips.

"Darling, you know I am always so glad to be on the receiving end of your powers in bed, but you can't always be on top." Kara smirked at Lena, but left them in that position.

"Really? So I couldn't flip us both over and end up with me on top of you? Cuz I am pretty sure I can, unless we are using the red sun emitter you made that makes me practically human."

"Hey, there is nothing wrong with being human." Lena pretended to pout and Kara had to laugh, "no love, I happen to love humans very very much. In fact, there is this one human I enjoy spending all my free time with." Kara used this moment to flip them over so she hovered over Lena who pretended to be pissed, but was already laughing.

"Cheater." Kara smiled as she kissed Lena and then moved to kiss along her jaw line before moving down to her neck. A move that always drove Lena crazy.

"I see, so you want me stop kissing your neck because I cheated and used my powers to flip us? I understand that's totally fair." Lena's brain short circuited for a minute before answering, "don't you dare stop." Kara smiled as she continued, kissing both sides of Lena's neck including right behind her ear. This one sided make out session lasted for a while until Kara tasted something salty when her lips grazed Lena's cheek. Kara's head snapped up and caught Lena trying to frantically brush away tears. Kara panicked for a moment, thinking she had hurt Lena somehow.

"Hey, Lena, what happened? Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry Lena, I…" Kara was silenced by Lena covering her mouth with her hand and shaking her head. "You didn't hurt me. You've never hurt me." This was followed by more tears that seemed to only become more intense the harder Lena tried to contain them. Kara laid down next to Lena and turned her body to face her, gently rubbing her thumb across Lena's cheek.

"Lena, just take your time and tell me what happened. Just tell me how I can help." Lena snuggled close to Kara and seemed desperate for her fiancé to be as close to her as possible. "Just hold me." Kara laid flat against the bed and let Lena get comfortable before she wrapped her tightly in her arms.

"Tighter Kara." Kara was surprised because usually she knew about how much force to hug Lena with and this was almost always enough.

"Ok, but you tell me if it is too tight." Lena nodded and when Kara tightened her grip she actually seemed to settle more into Kara's body which made Kara worry less, but answered none of her questions. Kara did however, know enough to know that pushing Lena now would help no one. So she waited with them in that position for a little over 15 minutes before Lena said anything.

"Sometimes when I get upset I can't handle when someone is being kind and gentle with me." Kara knotted her forehead in confusion because that was such a foreign concept to her. Who wouldn't be gentle when someone was upset or sad? Then she remembered the life Lena had growing up and had a better understanding of why Lena reacted to Kara the way she had.

"Is it always that way?" Lena shook her head no. "No. When we first dated and I would push you away sometimes, it was not me playing games with you, it was me not able to handle the gentleness you showed me. Now I am so used to that, but if I have an anxiety or a panic attack I respond like I did as a teenager and no one was gentle with me back then." Kara hated the dethatched way Lena said the last part of her explanation.

"I'm sorry Lena." Lena picked her head up from Kara's chest and traced the hero's face with her fingers. "You have nothing to be sorry for Kara. It's not your fault that I don't know how to respond to gentleness when I am upset."

"I know, but I am sorry that you had to wait till you met me to feel it." Lena smiled and kissed Kara before snuggling back into her chest. "It was worth waiting for darling." Kara still did not like it, but she let it go for the time being. Once Lena felt more settled she allowed Kara to loosen her grip though she stayed snuggled against her. Kara's stomach growled and the sound broke the tension and made Lena smile.

"My superhero needs to be fed I see." Lena looked at the clock and realized she should probably eat too. "I should eat something too."

"I told Alex I would call her when we woke up, maybe have her and Kelly over for dinner if we felt up to it." Lena sat up from the bed and climbed over Kara before pointing to the bathroom. "Check what we have in the kitchen because I didn't go grocery shopping yesterday so we might have to order something in, in which case maybe ask Alex what they want to eat. I'm going to shower." Kara grabbed her phone and texted Alex about dinner and as she waited she got up from the bed and began to put some different clothes on. Her phone rang in response and she answered as she was pulling her jeans over her hips.

"Hey Alex."

"Kelly and I were going to grab some stuff at the store so if you all need groceries we can grab some. Or at the very least grab some stuff that we could cook for dinner."

"Lena will probably just order some groceries tonight so we can handle our normal stuff, but maybe grab something that you guys want for tonight. Or tell me where we are gonna order from, cuz neither of us have eaten today." Kara could hear Alex talking to Kelly before responding to Kara, "Kelly says it is your guys' turn to pick food so maybe see what your bride wants for dinner." Kara smiled and rolled her eyes at Alex's name for Lena. She stepped into the bathroom and quickly asked Lena, "baby, Alex and Kelly say it's our turn to pick food. Any requests?" Lena turned around in the shower and poked her head out to talk to Kara.

"We had Chinese food last time, so maybe pizza?" Kara nodded and told her sister that they would order pizza so they could come over whenever the couple was done shopping. Once she hung up with Alex, Kara stepped back out of the bathroom to let Lena finish her shower while she ordered their dinner. Once she hung up Lena joined her in the living room, wet hair hanging down around her shoulders and wearing a fresh pair of pjs, something uncharacteristic for Lena Luthor unless you knew that deep down she enjoyed being comfortable when in her own home.

"You order enough food?"

"2 full pies for me, 1 for you guys who only need normal amounts of calories and a salad because you worry I don't eat enough vegetables when I don't order one." Lena smiled and rewarded Kara with a quick kiss, "salads aren't as bad as you make them out to be you know."

"So you claim." Lena leaned into Kara's shoulder and with this closeness Kara noticed the cut on Lena's arm. Prior to now the bandage had been on it, but Lena had removed it to shower and let the injury breathe before covering it again. Kara gently touched the skin just a few inches away from the cut and she just kept her hand there as a source of comfort for Lena. Kara was quiet and wasn't going to say anything unless Lena brought things up.

"Alex says it'll heal fine on its own." Kara nodded and pressed a kiss to Lena's hairline.

"Good. I bet she can wrap it for you again when they come over."

"I'm sorry Kara."

"For what?" Lena turned to Kara and pointed to her arm, "for this. Kara, I already don't totally know how someone like you fell in love with someone like me, but you definitely don't deserve to have this level of crazy in your life when your life is already so full of crazy moments." Lena did not often talk like this, at least not much in the last year or so, but when she needed more support from Kara she often felt like she was asking for too much when in reality she wasn't asking for anything she wasn't giving in their relationship.

"Let's tackle those things one at a time. First, I fell in love with you because you are smart and funny and the most beautiful creature on any planet I have ever been to. You and I have such similar pasts that I forget sometimes that we had different support systems growing up. I had a family who would die protecting me and you had a family who would kill anyone to protect themselves. And honestly Lena, for that I am so sorry, because you deserved way better, every kid does. Second, you are not crazy. This does not tell me you are crazy, it tells me you are hurting which makes me sad, but certainly doesn't scare me away. And yeah, my work is crazy, but that's why being with you is so special. You make all that melt away." Lena smiled and brushed tears away before she made direct eye contact with Kara.

"Everyone needs help sometimes Lena, even women like you and me." Lena smiled, "you sound like your sister."

"Yeah, well sometimes she says smart things and occasionally I listen." Lena laughed and offered Kara kiss on her cheek. "I'm going to go grab dishes for food." Kara watched Lena leave the room and after texting Alex to see if they had an ETA she went into the kitchen to help grab things they needed for dinner. Once the table was set, Lena went back into the parlor area and sat back down at the piano. Kara knew well enough to give Lena space when she was going and sitting down to play. Kara busied herself by making a shopping list for them and was only interrupted by Alex texting her to open the door because both she and Kelly had their hands full of stuff. Kara went to the front door and opened just as her sister and her girlfriend got off the elevator.

"I thought I told you we were fine." Alex shrugged her shoulders as she walked by Kara, "yeah you did, but you and Lena also never want to impose so I just got you guys some basic things just in case you hadn't ordered groceries yet." Kelly followed Alex in and both she and Kara had to roll their eyes a little bit at Alex's inability to not default into "mom mode".

"We also intercepted the delivery guy downstairs so dinner is here as well." Kelly nodded to the pizzas and salad container she had in her arms. Kara looked at Alex and wondered why she had not just gone into the kitchen, then she realized that Lena was still playing the piano and Alex likely felt as though she would disrupt the other woman if she entered the kitchen while she played. Kara gently touched her sisters arm, "she won't hear you Alex. Just put stuff down in the kitchen and when she is done she'll join us." Alex nodded and began to put away the groceries while Kelly set the food on the kitchen table. Kelly had been filled in by Alex when she got home, but Alex of course didn't tell her girlfriend absolutely everything, choosing to tell Kelly the important things while not betraying Lena's trust by sharing too much with her girlfriend who happened to be a therapist.

Kara was putting the last of the groceries and was about to go get Lena's attention when noticed the music and tempo change and she smiled, something that did not go unnoticed by Alex and Kelly.

"What's with the goofy grin baby sister?"

Kara nodded over to Lena, "she's been playing different songs to see if we like any of them enough to be the song we dance to first after the wedding. We tossed this one out as that song, but she has been obsessed with it ever since so she plays it randomly." Kara gestured to the kitchen table and Alex and Kelly took a seat while Kara went to stand behind Lena whiel she played and sang.

Woke up this morning, light poured in, you're with me
I thought I'd be better off alone
Now, my soul has been torn and reborn, started breathing
What have I done?
What have I done?

I never thought I needed saving, I was right where I should be
Good God, I know it's dangerous, but it's you that I need
I'm in love this time
I'm in love this time
What have I done?
What have I done?

So, don't you fall back asleep for this moment
Just be, I wanna get it right for once
Oh, I've been knocked out and beat but this feeling is fleeting
What have I done?
What have I done?

Never thought I needed saving, I was right where I should be
Good God, I know it's dangerous, but it's you that I need
I'm in love this time
I'm in love this time
What have I done?
What have I done?

Ever since the other night
I've been thinking 'bout the way you smile golden
Wanna move inside of your light
Ever since the other night
I've been thinking 'bout the way you smile golden
Wanna move inside of your light
What have I done?
Oh no, what have I done?
You be brave for me, now

Kara took a seat next to Lena on the piano bench and sang the last verse with her.

I never thought I needed saving, I was right where I should be
Good God, I know it's dangerous, but it's you that I need
I'm in love this time
I'm in love this time
What have I done?
What have I done?

Lena played the song out and accepted a brief kiss from Kara before they were interrupted by Alex and Kelly clapping. Kara looked behind her and blushed, burying her face in Lena's shoulder.

"I'm sending this video of you singing to mom because she is convinced you don't sing anymore." Alex waved her phone at the couple as they returned to the kitchen table. Lena sat down at the table with the others and they all seemed to very easily fall into their usual conversations. At different points when Lena would reach for her glass or more food, Kara would notice her using her injured arm without noticing it and while Alex knew not to look, Kelly couldn't help but catch sight of the injury two or three times. Kara felt bad for Kelly on some level because if nothing else, it must be hard to be in the field she worked in and see someone in your family suffer from something like this. They finished dinner and Lena and Alex got caught up talking about something Lena was working on at L Corp, leaving Kara and Kelly to clear the table. While Kara loaded the dishwasher, Kelly looked over her shoulder at Lena and Alex who were by now "nerding out" as Kara calls it over the blue prints Lena had brought home with her.

"Who would've pegged the two of them as getting along and becoming friends?" Kara smiled and nodded, "I know, I didn't think at first that Alex would ever let herself like or trust Lena, but I guess after they literally fought things out they were fine. Alex has been great about supporting Lena and supporting me with Lena."

"Speaking of that, she told me what happened. Is Lena alright?" Kara nodded, "she and I talked more after we got more sleep this morning. She's ok. It was just concern over me coupled with some triggers from her childhood and I wasn't here like usual to help her calm down. She did what she did out of fear. But she seems to be doing better."

"Look, Kara, I know having a therapist in the family can be a pain and while I can't help Lena myself, I can give you the name of someone who can see her professionally. If that is what she wants that is."

"I bring it up every now and then to her and the answer has remained the same because she is afraid that either a therapist would not treat her because of her last name or would spill her secrets to the first reporter who came calling." Kelly figured that would be the issue.

"Well, if she changes her mind let me know, I have lots of friends in this field who see celebrities and have to keep confidential records very closely guarded. In the meantime, if either of you does need something I can help, or I can try, just not in an official capacity."

"I appreciate it and I'll tell Lena. In the end, it's her call, not mine."

"Well, if nothing else she has you and that seems to be enough." Kara looked behind her as Alex and Lena were shouting, not out of anger, but because they had figured something out and Kara had to smile. "She has more than just me."
