“What did I say about you shutting up and letting me waste my money on you. Besides I’ve gotta assert my dominance.” When it comes down to it you’ve gotta do whatever it takes to get what you want even if it means doing something you’re not used to doing. Sometimes you don’t know what you need untill someone forces it onto you, but it also might not be what you wanted.

12. Love is patient

Hi friend! It's me Jozzy. So much has happened in the kids life since we last spoke. I'm fresh off a move, I had to say goodbye to my friends at the job I've had for the past three/one years. Ugh Rao I didn't think saying bye to them would suck so much but it does. They nor you could ever understand how big of a role they played in my life with the toxicity I was dealing with where I was living previously. They became family and it sucks to let them go but it had to happen. Crazy how fast a year can go by and the bonds you can form in that span of time. Just part of life and growing up. One day I'll go back but till then I gotta live life and direct my emotions into art. This being said I present to you the aftermath of last chapter. We continue to set up dominoes. But honestly this chapter is exactly what you need going on like six months since the last time we got to see SupCorp adorn our screens in new content. Ig this is me telling you I'm sad about not seeing them anymore without me telling you I'm sad about not seeing them anymore.

Kara's POV

"I'm yours Lena. I'm never going to hurt you. Ever." I murmured holding her closer. She's got a tight grip around me as if I might float away. "It's okay I'm always here for you." With that I kissed the top of her head to reassure her. A moment later she took in a big breath and just started to cry. "Awe baby." I cooed as I rocked us side to side gently as I rubbed her back. What in the hell happened after I left them alone downstairs? None of that is important right now. My main priority is to comfort and calm my girlfriend down. I'm starting to wish I tried harder to get her not to go to this stupid dinner tonight. "Come're." I then picked her up and carried her over to the couch. There I sat with her in my lap, allowing her head to rest in my neck. "I'm here baby. I've got you." I soothed holding her and rubbing her back. My poor baby. I hope she doesn't take this to bed. I hope eventually when she calms down she'll tell me about what happened to make her cry. I don't think I can go to sleep without her telling me what happened. I need to know if I have to go punch Zara in the face or not. Knowing Lena, she'll tell me when she's ready so I'll just hold her until then. I'm not sure how long we sat, but eventually I decided to turn on the tv. I figured I'd turn on a movie for us to watch. I recently downloaded the new Disney plus app and I've been binging ever since. So I settled on watching Mulan because it was one of my favorites when I first came to Earth. I've seen it so many times and it gets better every time. Plus maybe it might cheer her up if I sing to her. I'm not sure how long Lena cried for because I got so caught up in the movie and singing that I didn't realize she stopped until she flipped her hair hitting me in the face giving me a nice mouthful of her hair. But now I can see her beautiful face. I hate seeing her cry but boy does she look adorable right now.

"You've watched this movie a billion times huh?" She asked

"Maybe."

"You sang every lyric." I simply tightened my grip around her and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I just thought I'd sing to you. You always smile when I sing to you. So I figured I'd put on a movie I like that has songs I can sing for you." When I said that she tried to hide her blush but I saw it. "I just don't like seeing beautiful women crying."

"Why do you always have to be so perfect?" She sighed using a hand to trace random lines on my neck.

"Because you deserve it." She let out another sigh and wrapped both her arms around my neck cuddling into me closer.

"You're my favorite person." I heard her mumble in my neck. If it wasn't apparent before it is now, we're both mad for each other. After that I just continued watching the movie. I want to ask what happened so bad but I know better than to push my girlfriend for answers. She'll tell me, I just have to be patient. "Sorry."

"For what?" She then sat up and is looking at me. Awe her cheeks and nose are rosey red. Despite her having been crying her eye makeup is still intact allowing her adorable puffy eyes to gleam with innocence.

"Being an emotional mess. I know you weren't expecting that but-" She paused and looked away from me. I simply moved her chin so she was looking at me again.

"It's okay to feel emotions Lena. You're only human and have a heart and a soul. I am your girlfriend. It's okay to be emotional around me. If anything I'd rather you cry on my shoulder than anywhere else." I then tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I don't know what happened or what upset you but I'm here for you. I'll always be here to listen to your problems, and inconveniences. We're best friends first then wives second. Now explain to Stitch why you sad."

"Rao I'm so happy to have you." I also love that she's picking up on my lingo.

"I was sent here specifically for you babe." That earned me a kiss. A delicious soft kiss that reminded me of just how gentle hearted she is. I love it and hate it because I know nobody would believe me if I tried to tell them that my Luthor is a total teddy bear.

"I brought you food home." To that I smiled.

"I know. I've been smelling it for like the past hour. I was very tempted to eat some but you're more important than.. is it spaghetti? I smell a lot of garlic." She giggled and gave me another kiss.

"Ugh I don't deserve you." Before I could even process that she pressed her lips to mine again. "Tonight was terrible. I should've stayed here with you."

"Yes you should've. I'm very hungry and now that you aren't sad anymore can we eat something?" I asked as softly as I could.

"What happened to the pizza I ordered you while I was gone?" It was here she wiped her eyes and got up off my lap. Naturally I followed behind her.

"It didn't feel right eating without you." She then grabbed my leash and lead us to the kitchen. "I just put it here and decided to wait for you." As I said that I opened the oven to show her the pizza box. Taking it out I opened it to show her I only ate one slice before I stopped.

"Awe baby, I got it specifically so you could eat it for yourself. You didn't-"

"I don't eat at home with Mistress's collar on without Mistress." I interrupted because I feel like this was some sort of test to see if I'll follow her rules even when she's gone.

"Your obedience is the sexiest thing. But this was a rare occasion I would've allowed it, pumpkin. But it's okay. I didn't really eat much at dinner either. It was weird eating dinner and not having my sub cuddled up to my leg. I found myself looking down expecting to see those big blueberries looking back up at me." She then tugged the leash pulling me closer to her. "I just wanted you to be with me the entire time. I now see how in routine we are, it's weird when we break it."

"So then let's never break it. Dinner is our thing from now until infinity." I suggested wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close. She's got such an innocent glow about her post crying its taking so much out of me to not drop to my knees for her right now.

"Until infinity." Then we sealed it with a kiss. "Now let's eat dinner. I had so much wine and I'm starving!" I then watched as she leaned over and turned on the oven. "Now I brought you home lasagna and Alfredo which do you want to have now? The other is lunch for tomorrow." I love that she knows the key to my heart. I love that she made it her point to bring me home food. I love that she feeds me.

"I think the lasagna will be fine for now." I spoke reaching to grab the leftovers and brought them closer to us.

"It was highly suggested. Figured I'd take it to the best food critic I know. See if it's worth the hype." I then watched as she opened the bag to reveal several small boxes. "This is your cannoli." She then opened a small styrofoam box to show me two cannolis.

"I can have a bite?" I asked reaching for it only to have her close it.

"Later." She then sat that down and took out another box. "This is my linguini." She opened it to show me.

"So that's where all the garlic is coming from."

"Oh yeah extra garlic is love. Too much garlic? Never heard of it."

"Am I allowed to-"

"Nope. That's why you have the Alfredo and lasagna."

"But-"

"You touch this and you'll be single. I'll delete you from my memory." I'm not worried. All I'd have to do is flash her my charming smile and take off my shirt and I bet she'll fall for me all over again.

"Yes Mistress." I smiled softly.

"I'm serious Kara." She warned closing the box and setting it down.

"Ok, I am too." I'm definitely gonna try some.

"This is the lasagna." She then handed me the box.

"Ooh it smells good. I can't even remember the last time I had lasagna."

"Me either. But I guess it's gonna be in a few minutes."

"This is true." My girlfriend then pulled out the last box.

"Then finally the Alfredo. I got extra shrimp and chicken in it because you're my little fatty and I have to feed you so you don't starve."

"Can I just say you're the most amazing girlfriend ever?"

"You sure can." She grinned very proud of herself. Ugh she's so beautiful

"You're the most amazing and thoughtful girlfriend I've ever had. And I'm not just saying that because you're the only girlfriend I've ever had."

"I know and I think I deserve a kiss for that." I agree. So I leaned in and gave her a kiss. "Mmm one more because I'm beautiful." That she is so I gave her another kiss. "Another because I endured an entire meal with my-" She paused for a moment before she spoke again. "I guess my college ex girlfriend to secure your future at CatCo as long as she's the owner." Hmm that was suspicious. But I'm gonna kiss her anyway. "And one more because I really like you." I happily complied again.

"I missed you so much." I murmured hugging her. "I was losing my mind worried that she was gonna try and kidnap you or something. I had half a mind to go fly over and bring you home myself." It's corny but it's true. I was super jealous she was out to dinner with another female when I've been the female she eats dinner with for two months consecutively now. And before we started to date we'd have dinner together often as well. So for her to just have dinner with another female doesn't sit right with me. Hearing that got my girlfriend to look up at me with a smile as she brought her hands up to rest on my chest.

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhmm. I don't like you hanging out with other females without me."

"Awe sweetie! Were you jealous I went to dinner with Zara?" She purred with a little rasp in it. Obviously she wants me to say it but I'm not gonna give it up so easy.

"Not jealous.. just upset. You sprung it on me so randomly and suddenly I didn't get a chance to find a way to wiggle my way into going. You purposely waited until after sex to tell me. And then you violently made me cum so I couldn't stop you from getting ready. You set me up!" All she did was laugh.

"It wasn't a set up, Blue. I mean the telling you last minute was my fault and I apologize. But everything after that was just me being the excellent girlfriend I am and showing you that I pay attention to you. I know exactly what buttons to push to get you to melt or bend to my desire. I didn't have to set you up, you've made yourself predictable to me and I adapted." I've no response to that other than to scowl at her. She only smiled and gave me a kiss. "Stop that. You should be happy that you're the center of my desire." She then placed a few kisses on my neck. "I just want you. That's it. That's what I want you to know most of all. I'm with you. That's it. Mine." She then kissed me on the nose and pulled away from me. "So what were you up to while I was gone?" I watched as she went over to her wet bar.

"I watched tv."

"Oh tha-"

"And trying to maintain my desire to go fly and pick you up. Bring you home." She has her back to me. I really want a bite of the cannoli. "I opened the door and everything.. just fly out at any moment and pick you up. It'd take less than three minutes. I just fly on down there, land. Grab you and fly out." I shrugged. I just like to remind her why she's with me. And to help ease any crazy thoughts she could be having. I really don't like that I don't know what happened during this dinner, but I needa know. But most importantly she loves my humor. "But honestly I think it'd be funny if I like dressed in all black and just bust in there and kidnap you. Think of how confused Zara would be!" I laughed as boisterously as I could to open the container that has my cannoli. And because it's a funny thought. Looking over she's pouring herself a cup of something brown and then started laughing. I used this opportunity to open the cannoli and pull it out. Success. It was here she started to turn to face me and so I quickly took a bite so she can't stop me.

"Hahaha I can see her like- Babe! Really?!" She caught me trying to put it back. I then watched as she began to come back towards me.

"At least I didn't eat the whole thing." I shrugged putting my hands up as I chewed.

"Didn't I say no?" She then came and grabbed my wrist and turned on the bracelet.

"Okay."

"Bad girl!" She then slapped my hand. I simply pouted as I continued to chew. "Stop being cute."

"Sorry."

"Ugh I don't like you." She then gave me a kiss. Several actually. "Was it good?" I nodded.

"Delicious." I then poked her stomach. "Just like you are, but not better."

"Stop trying to be cute, you're still in trouble."

"Well I don't feel bad. It was worth it."

"Glad you feel that way. I was totally going to have sex with you after we eat but now you blew it." She then sipped her drink and moved to the stove. There she began taking out a pan I assume for the pizza.

"So you're just going to tell me last minute that you are going to dinner with your ex. You went and ate dinner with another woman, came back, cried in my arms, and then deprive me of sex? After all that?"

"Mhmm."

"Ok that's fine. I'll just keep my chiseled abs to myself. Go right ahead and button this back up." I murmured to myself as I began buttoning up my onsie. "Stitch is going back to human mode."

"I mean you don't have to do all that. You should probably leave it unbuttoned." She spoke as she put foil on the pan and placed the pizza on it. She then turned to look at me. "If anything you should probably just take it off."

"Would that earn your forgiveness?"

"It'd be a good place to start."

"I dunno. You just said you weren't going to have sex with me tonight so I see no need in being naked if I'm not getting any action." I shrugged finishing buttoning up all the buttons.

"Kara?! I am very visibly up upset! And I need to see things that make me happy. Seeing you naked will make me happy."

"What upset you? What'd she say?" I asked going up to the counter to face her. She quickly avoided eye contact with me and sipped her drink.

"Kara I told you I don't know. I'm still trying to process it. It's just too much for me right now." She then moved from the counter to grab a plate. I then watched as she began to put the lasagna onto the plate. "The lasagna is supposedly the best in the city. If it's anything like how my linguini was it's going to knock your socks off." All I can do is stand and stare at her. I wish I could read her mind so I can know what is going on in her head. "I met the owner of the restaurant and she seemed really nice. She said if you like what you eat here, we're welcome there anytime. But mostly she wants to meet you I think." Lena then finished plating the lasagna and moved to put it in the microwave and set it. From there she went into the fridge and pulled out the pitcher of lemonade I made earlier. "I mean apparently her and Zara go back a ways and I guess I must've been a topic of their previous conversations because she knew who I was before I could even introduce myself." As she talked she got out a cup and poured a glass. "Do you want ice?"

"I just want you to know I am on your side. I'm here to listen to whatever you want to tell me. We're going to be together for a long time so it'll be good for you to have someone to talk to. Get stuff off your chest."

"So no ice?" I let out a sigh and sat in a stool at the counter.

"That's fine." She smiled and passed me the drink. As I grabbed it she used both her hands to cup mine.

"One of the things I've always admired about you is how patient and understanding you are." When she said that I could see the conflict and sincerity in her eyes. What the fuck did she say to her?!

"I'm here when you need me, Stink." I half smiled hoping to add comfort to my statement. At the same time the oven beeped causing her to let me go and move to place the pizza in the oven. "You know I could've just zapped that. Save us lots of time."

"Nonsense. I'm allowed to spoil you. I wouldn't dare make you do such a tedious chore."

"Not tedious just smart. You're dating an actual superhero, you should abuse me for my powers. You've never had a lover like me. By the time you finish warming up that pizza I could fly all the way to Italy and return with a fresh made pizza, some wine, and more cannolis."

"Not if I turn that bracelet on."

"But you also don't have to." I mumbled moving my right hand off the counter so she can't voice activate the bracelet.

"It'll still hear me if I say it loud enough doll. Besides I have to. I didn't forget you blatantly disobeying me earlier. I actually thought about it a lot throughout the night."

"Okay.. but by the end did you wish you would've listened to me?" It was here the microwave beeped. She didn't answer but just went and got the lasagna out the microwave and brought it over to the counter near me.

"Well it's not like I wanted to go in the first place. I had to go so I can rest easy knowing she won't be bothering us anymore now." As she said this she was digging in a drawer and pulled out a fork and knife. After that I watched her cut herself a piece and blow on it before eating.

"How does it taste? And you keep saying that like she has some sort of secret bomb or kryptonite stash somewhere waiting to hurt me in some way or something." My girlfriend nodded and then grabbed the plate and came to sit down next to me. Before she sat she cupped my cheeks and gave me a kiss.

"She isn't a threat to you. I just want my girlfriend to have comfort in her workplace where her boss happens to be my ex." I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her in between my legs.

"But I want to remind you that I have been slowly getting into her good graces myself. She brought me a ham sammie the other day. I mean sure it was a bribe to get me to agree to unknowingly free up time for her to steal time with you, but it's the fact that she knows I'm most compliant when you give me food. Means she's paying attention to me.. a little bit at least. And I think that's progress."

"I know you have and honestly it is working. She told me she is very appreciative that you went out of your way to learn how she likes her tea."

"Well thanks to you of course but right now I don't like her."

"Blue?" She questioned like I wasn't supposed to say that.

"She manipulated me to get to you and that's not cool. And on top of that she took you on a date and I really really didn't like that. She's lucky I didn't zap her with my heat vision when I went outside." Lena gave me a soft kiss before speaking.

"But just like I said, I'm right back here with you. My beautiful girlfriend. And I brought you food." She then leaned to the side picking up the plate of lasagna and brought it between us. "If anything it's a win for you because you have a bunch of good food to eat right now and tomorrow. Hold this please." I'm not gonna not hold a plate of food. However I don't want to not hold my girlfriend right now so I'm going to use my laser vision to simply cut it myself.

"Can I laser cut it?"

"Is it gonna cut through my plate?"

"It shouldn't… but if it does I hope it doesn't hurt you."

"I'll just cut-" She then moved to I assume put the plate down so she could cut it. But before she could move I grabbed a hold of the plate and used my heat vision to cut the lasagna in several pieces. "Couldn't help yourself could you?"

"I just wanted to show off for you. Remind you that I'm the perfect girlfriend." Gotta remind her of why she's dating me and not Zara.

"It is pretty cool." She then grabbed the fork and pierced a piece of the lasagna. "Crispy edges." She nodded while inspecting the food on the fork.

"Every single time. The knives I have in my apartment are mostly just for display." I smiled before opening my mouth letting her know I am ready to chew.

"Rao, you're so attractive." She grinned before putting the lasagna in my mouth. Then from there we ate the lasagna together. After we made out until the pizza was warm and we sat and ate that together too. After we finished eating we went on about our normal nighttime routine. Clean up dinner, shower together, have sex, then we watched tv until we both fell asleep. I wasn't able to get anything else out of her about the dinner but I know she'll come around eventually.

The next morning

Waking up I went to reach for my girlfriend but I got nothing but cold sheets. Immediately I shot up in worry because there is no way someone could've snatched her out of my arms whilst I slept. However I only thought that for a moment before I heard soft music coming from I assume the kitchen. And I can tell it's in the kitchen because I smell blueberry muffins and I'd like one in my mouth right now. Getting up I put on some pants and used the bathroom quickly then wondered out into the kitchen to find my girlfriend. I was surprised but confused because the counter is covered in different baked goods. From scones, to cookies, tea cakes, and of course blueberry muffins. I had no idea she could even bake So to wake up and see this certainly caught me off guard. However the thing I do know is I must go kiss the woman standing in the kitchen. Floating over to her I landed behind her and wrapped her up in a hug from behind snuggling my face in the crook of her neck. "How dare you deprive me of my morning cuddles." She's standing at the stove mixing what looks to be a jam or compote of some sort.

"I'm sorry, sweetie. I couldn't sleep and I didn't want to wake you." I straightened up and kissed her on the temple.

"Normally I'd be mad at you but your bribe of breakfast is working. Did you make all this?"

"Yeah. When I was a kid my birth mother would bake whenever she was stressed or overwhelmed. And sometimes she'd let me help. I always loved helping her make jam. Really cool how a little bit of heat, water, sugar, and patience can turn any berry into a delicious spread. As I got older and began to understand the science behind it all, I understood the complexity in which each baked good requires in order for all components to combine and come out just right." She explained before backing from the stove to open the oven slightly to reveal what looked like a cake of some sort. I love hearing her talk nerdy it's super sexy. But mostly I picked up on the part where she picked up baking from her mother who baked while stressed or overwhelmed. What's got her so stressed and overwhelmed this morning? Obviously it's got to do with Zara. But to what extent? "Sorry again if my loud whisking woke you. I just.." She let out a sigh before turning back to the pot on the stove. "Taste this." Lifting the spoon out the pot she blew on it then held it up for me to taste. I'm not gonna not taste my personal pastry chef's treats.

"Mmm what is that strawberry jam?" She giggled and shook her head no.

"Wait for it." I was confused because it definitely tastes like strawberry..

"Ooh wow! That's spicy. But it's so good! What is it?" I gushed. It must be some sort of chilli jam or compote.

"It's a mixed berry compote that I added chili flakes to. I have a very sweet pound cake cooking now. Then I'm gonna put this on top once it cools. The sweet and spicy should combat each other on the tongue creating something delicious I hope. I don't know I've never done it before but it just makes sense to me. If it's too spicy I'll make a glaze to go on top of it and maybe it'll help." She's had a lot of time to think about this. Which makes me wonder just how long she's been up, it's little past eleven am now. Judging by the assortment of sweets and knowledge that she had to have run out to the store for some ingredients leads me to believe she hasn't slept much today.

"I have a question."

"Yes you may eat whatever catches your appetite. Just save some for our family at the tower."

"You'd better pack up what you want to take to them because whatever's left I'm going to eat. But that's not my question." I then took the spoon from her and turned her to face me. "How long have you been up? Did you even go to sleep?"

"I slept." She replied not looking at me then trying to turn back to the stove. She's lying to me. I held her firm so she has to face me.

"Lena? I thought we agreed that you'd be more open with me. I don't know if you know this but you're dating a reporter. It's my job to notice when something isn't right. And you are lying to me I can hear your heartbeat. So do you maybe wanna think of a different answer and try again?"

"Blue, I'm fine I promise."

"You have pressed an incorrect key, please try again."

"Kara?!"

"What did she say to you that's got you so overwhelmed? I can read you like a book Lena. What's wrong?"

"If that's true how come you always fall asleep when I read to you?"

"Oh my Rao. Stop trying to change the subject. If you have something to let out you can tell me. I won't tell. I'm with you more often than not so I'd have nobody to tell but you. What happened, petal?" I asked placing a kiss on her forehead. She let out a sigh and hugged me resting her head on my shoulder.

"I'm not okay. Well I'm fine I just.. She told me something I didn't expect to hear and.. well I don't know how to process it." Lena then lifted her head to look at me. "Truth is I'm still trying to understand it. I want to tell you I just need more time to process it. I promise I'll tell you because I don't want you to worry about me." Then I got a kiss. "I'm okay. We're okay I promise. I just need time." I don't like that answer but I know not to press any further. I don't want her to clam up to me. So I simply hugged her as tight as I could.

"We're a team. I'm on your side, babe. I just don't like when you're upset. I wanna cheer you up is all. I wanna see those beautiful magic eyes filled with happiness and lust, never tears." To that she pulled away just far enough so we could kiss. I made sure to put everything I just said into it.

"I can't believe I've been missing out on this level of comfort from you. Every time you'd cheer me up or give me a pep talk I always wanted to do that. Just grab your stupid cute face and kiss you."

"You think I'm cute?" I asked smiling stupidly because I knew I'd make her smile.

"Yeah. You're not so bad on the eyes." She then kissed me again. "I just like looking at your face. I enjoy looking at it."

"I enjoy your face too. I especially enjoy sitting on it too." I grinned thinking about last night. "You know if you like once you finish up here you can sit on my face. Looks like you've been standing a long time so I bet your legs are tired." That got her to smile and give me a kiss.

"Is that why you aren't wearing a shirt? To try and seduce me?" As she asked that her hands found my abdomen and is rubbing it.

"No. I could only find pants to wear. But if it's working, then yes. Yes, I berry much did."

"Ugh you literally just woke up!" She whined with a smile giving me a kiss.

"I'm sorry. You muffin forgive me for I find it compote-ly difficult to not turn everything into a lame ex-scones to make a pun." I sighed trying to sound sad.

"I hate you!" She smiled before kissing me. This kiss lasted for a moment before a timer went off. "My cake is done!" Letting me go she grabbed the oven mitts and opened the oven to pull out her pound cake. I also took this time to grab a muffin and use my heat vision to warm it.

"Babe this smells amazing." I murmured biting into it. "Ugh! So good!" I mumbled chewing.

"Kar?! That's not done yet!"

"Tastes done to me." I shrugged going in for another bite.

"You're such a glutton." She then moved to the counter and picked up a bowl. "Let me see." This might be a trap.

"Nah." I then took another bite and shielded my muffin from her. As I did that it made me laugh to myself because I definitely didn't picture hiding my muffin from her hours ago while I was giving her my muffin.

"Kara. It's just a lemon drizzle I'm not gonna take it from you. It's gonna make it taste even better."

"You also told me you would get me a kitten and I still don't have my feline companion." I sassed with a mouthful of muffin before taking another bite.

"I never promised you that!" It was worth a shot. Swallowing, I spoke again.

"Well then dream Lena is my new favorite person then."

"If that's the case, give me back my muffin. Have dream Lena make you muffins since she's soo great." She sassed tossing the bowl down on the counter and coming towards me. My only option now is to shove the rest of the muffin in my mouth. She can't take it back if I eat it. She grabbed my arm to pull me towards her so I used my other hand to violently shove it in my mouth. "No!" Doing so a lot of crumbs fell to the floor. "Are you kidding me?!" I just stood and chewed looking at her. "Why are you like this?"

"Hmm." I win.

"And you can forget about having sex with me for a week." She can't resist me. She'll be begging me for sex if I play my cards right. That being said I also picked up a scone and had a bite of that as well. Hmp it's a cranberry scone, nice. Lena is just staring at me. "Why? Why are you like this?" I just stared and chewed. "I'm wondering right now what I find attractive about this." She spoke motioning to me. I'm still chewing so there's one answer that will rest my case. Setting my scone back down on the counter I smirked. Then using both hands I lowered my pants just far enough to show off my very noticeable v-lines. Rubbing my abdomen I made sure to flex a little before looking back up at her.

"Would you rather someone else lick these?" I asked simply because we both know she can't resist how muscular I am.

"I mean I've killed before and I'd do it again if necessary." I rest my case. Picking up my scone I moved to get a cup so I can have some milk.

"I'd have to arrest you if you do."

"Sounds kinky to me. I'm down."

"You're dirty!" I grinned before leaning in to kiss her.

"You weren't saying that last night."

"You're right I was busy moaning your name."

"You did and I wouldn't be opposed to hearing you moan it again." I smirked moving to the fridge and pouring myself a cup of milk. She can never say no to me when I'm shirtless. I'm convinced I can get her to do whatever I want if I just take my shirt off.

"Babe I hope you don't need any more milk for anything else because I'm drinking the last of it."

"But I wanted to make some brownies. And I need it." I smiled and moved back to standing near her as she's messing with the pound cake. I watched as she lifted it from the pan and sat it on a cooling rack.

"Then I guess we're gonna have to fight for it." I shrugged sitting the empty carton on the counter and showing her the cup.

"You don't want brownies?"

"I mean.. I do but.. I'm real thirsty."

"So have some water. Or make some tea." She then reached for the cup but I lifted it above my head so she can't reach.

"But I want milk." As I said that I picked up my scone and had a bite. "It'd go good with this scone."

"Stop talking with your mouth full."

"Tell me what she said or did to you last night." That earned me a burning glare.

"I told you already Kara."

"Oh well then." I then proceeded to float up just out of her reach and sit pretzel style. I then continued on drinking the milk.

"Oh yeah?"

"This scone is delicious babe. If you ever want me to-"

"Strip her powers!" Lena yelled. Before I could process that I was crashing onto the ground spilling the milk all over myself. Lena is just standing over me with a smirk. "Don't you forget who wears the pants in this relationship, darling. Now go get the mop and clean up the mess you made." I want to be mad but I guess I did deserve it a little. At the same time it's sexy when she gets dominant like that. "And after you do that you get to wash the dishes since you want to be little miss big and bad."

"Sorry." I murmured looking up at her with my best puppy dog eyes. She merely glanced at me before going back to what she was doing.

"Go now before that ruins my floors." Part of me is so upset but the other part of me is telling me I need to find a smart reply to her. Yet the other half is saying do what she says and do it now. As much as I want to anger her and get her to fuck an apology out of me, I really want her to tell me what happened last night. That being said I got up and placed the cup in the sink.

"Lena?" I asked softly moving to stand next to her.

"What?"

"Will you come with me to the farmers market later today? Zara gave me the company card so we can buy the entire venue." That got her to look at me.

"Spending time with you is exactly what I need. However you better hurry up and clean up the spill."

"You know if we had a cat or maybe a dog it'd be in the process of being licked up. Wouldn't even need a mop."

"If you don't get out my face!" She then stopped whatever she was doing and started to push me. I simply caught her hands and held them so she can't anymore. "Kara!"

"You need to train in combat more. Even without my powers I'm confident I can overpower you."

"This isn't fair!" She whined trying to escape my grasp. "You have super strength."

"Nope. You stripped them, remember?" I then forced both her hands behind her back leaving her face completely unprotected. "You're so sexy when you're flustered." I then gave her a meaningful kiss. "Next weekend I'm giving you self defense lessons." Her response to that was to stomp on my foot thus giving her that split second to free her hands and smack me as hard as she could. "Holy-"

"Maybe you're the one who needs self defense lessons. But any chance to see you shirtless and sweaty I'll take it. Now get to mopping weirdo." All I could do was smile she's such a fucking babe. I'm definitely going to give her some head later.

Later Lena's POV

"I'm back. I got you this flower." Smiled Kara holding a handful of dirt with a tulip sticking out of it.

"Kara?! What the-"

"I was gonna pick it but then I realized I'd be killing it. So I dug it up so you can have it forever." She smiled, obviously very pleased with herself. After we ate breakfast we cleaned up and headed out to the outdoor Farmers Market that Kara was supposed to go to yesterday. Luckily it's not raining today but it is pretty cloudy. However it didn't stop us from getting out of the house. Anyway we've been here for about half an hour and I'm seated on a bench so I could wait for Kara to use the bathroom. I told her not to chug the fruit punch we got on the way over, which was about a pint, but she never listens to me. I was wondering what was taking her so long in there, but now I know it's because she was stealing a flower.

"Where the hell did you dig that up from?! Kara you can't just go around digging up flowers." I urged standing up in an attempt to try and hide the fact that she could be stealing public property right now.

"Well I saw it and I thought it was so beautiful, just like you are. So I figured I would give it to you and this way I can admire two beautiful things when I come visit you." She smiled. Awe my heart. She literally is the sweetest thing ever.

"Blue I know you have all the best intentions in the universe here but where are you going to put that? You can't walk around carrying a handful of dirt."

"Excuse you! It's not a handful of dirt! This is our love rose and we will find it a very decorative box to live in."

"You're so adorable, but that's a tulip baby."

"What!? It's not a rose?!" She asked sounding very sad as she began inspecting the flower. Rao I think I'm falling for this woman. So naturally I leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. I was gonna make her put it back but after that I don't have the heart to tell her no.

"It's a rose if you want it to be." She instantly smiled at me making my heart jump.

"I got it for you so it's whatever you want it to be."

"Well let's go find a vase or something to put that in. I don't want to hold your muddy hand."

"Good thing we're at the farmers market huh?"

"Absolutely. Besides I wanna see if I can find a new throw blanket. Something more fall like."

"Okay well let's go now because there's a worm in here and I can feel it moving around and I'm not a fan of it." She smiled moving the flower around to I assume look at said worm. From there we wandered the stalls looking for a nice vase or something to put it in for now. Eventually we came across this teddy bear shaped piggy bank. And that is where Kara decided to plant our love rose tulip. Eventually we found our way to where all the food stalls were and we had a field day trying to decide on which ones to try first.

"How do you like your burger?" I asked setting down the half of her burger being I just fed her a bite.

"Delicious." She answered mid chew. I'd get upset but at this point I'm rather used to it. I've tried but it's no use.

"Good. I'm glad you like it. My sammich is okay, but it tastes amazing. You wanna know why?"

"Why?"

"Because Zara brought it for me." I giggled because that was her mistake giving Kara the company card. Needless to say we've just about raided every food stall here and brought at least one thing from each.

"Hey it's for the greater good of the people!" My girlfriend giggled nudging me.

"Yeah and for our stomachs."

"Yes please!"

"You want a French fry?" I asked eating one. Kara just opened her mouth and I put one in there for her. I made sure to give her a kiss afterwards. When I did that she let out this adorable content sigh. "You're so adorable. I'm glad you're mine."

"Well you made me put on this necklace so I would like to hope you're happy with me."

"I made you cum last night and then I made you breakfast this morning. I'm pretty sure that means I like like you or something like that." I nodded tugging her shirt being she's sitting in the chair next to me at an angle so she's half facing me.

"I dunno I'm not sure. I just thought you were being polite."

"No. I just like kissing you." With that I grabbed a particularly long fry and put half of it in my mouth. Leaning towards her she leaned in as well and bit the other half. This was supposed to be cute but the dummy managed to bite a little part of my lip. "Owe! Kara?!" I whined putting my hand to my lip.

"Awe I'm sorry baby! Come're." She then moved my hand and inspected my lip. "It's okay your lipstick is fine." She then gave me several small kisses where she bit me. It's not necessary but it made me feel giddy inside. "Feel better?" She cooed not moving too far from my face.

"I think I need a few more because I'm traumatized now." She giggled then gave me more kisses. I love getting my way.

"Ahem! Excuse me." We heard beside us unfortunately causing us to stop kissing to be looking at some random middle aged woman I guess. I dunno but she isn't exactly a sight for sore eyes. "Hi I think it's nice you two are best friends and all, but I was wondering if maybe you two could not do what y'all are doing. My son over there is watching and I don't want him to grow up thinking this is okay." She motioned to us after nodding over to her son. Kara and I looked at each other, then over to the son, and then back to each other. "And besides you are out in public doing bedroom activities that just isn't appropriate for here." Kara and I made eye contact again and I simply sent her a brainwave to which I assume she got.

"Oh no! Babe I told you we shouldn't be eating outdoors. Now her son is gonna be traumatized from us eating!" Whined Kara as she placed her hand on my boob.

"No. No that's-"

"Baby you sweet thing! She's not talking about us eating. She's talking about how stupid she looks bothering a perfectly innocent couple who wasn't bothering anyone." I then grabbed Kara and pulled her in for a kiss. "She's upset because nobody is kissing her like that these days. Husband is probably out fucking his mistress. Hence why according to her we aren't allowed to be left in peace around her." I explained simply.

"Excuse me! My husband is an active duty marine. And you need to respect me and everyone else here by-"

"Hey lady I'd stop if I were you." Chimed Kara over her. She understands exactly how much weight my last name holds here in the city. Like every other time some random tries to interfere in our relationship I give them a friendly reminder that I can and will make them disappear.

"Who are you talking to like that? I am a military wife and-"

"That's a nice watch you have there Karen. What is that a L-Tech series three? In bronze?" The beauty of owning one of the world's largest science and gadget manufacturing companies. I can recognize just about every product my company has ever mass produced and sold. That aside I picked up my phone and opened an app I created myself to call my security guards whenever I need them. I don't use them often because I like looking out for myself. And it's something I developed after I turned on Lex in fear that he'll come get his revenge. However today I feel would be a good time if any to show Kara just how safe she is with me. The way this works is I've a web of men and women all over the city who get alerted whenever I press the help button in the app. It sends a distress signal to whoever is closest to my location and gives them directions to my exact location. I've never had to use it for real yet, only in test runs. Why not kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of this lady and test how long the response time is for my bodyguards.

"Don't worry about my watch. I think you two should leave, you're disturbing everyone's time."

"Oh but it is. If you don't like that me and my girlfriend were sitting minding our business then you certainly should take off my brand of watch and give it here." The lady was staring at me in confusion so I continued. "That watch you're wearing now is made by Luthor Technology.

"They have awesome toasters." Added Kara backing me up.

"Yes we do. Anyway Luthor Technology is a branch under the L-Corporation, you know the L standing for Luthor."

"Not a loss. Long live the Luthor's!"

"And what's my name again love?" I asked looking at Kara who's got a very in thought thinking face on.

"Uhh! The princess of science, Lena Fucking Luthor!" She sassed.

"Correct. And what does that mean?"

"That you're gonna vaporize her!" Chimed Kara very excitedly making me giggle.

"What?! No. Last time I did that the guy just exploded into goo. Took me a whole bottle of shampoo to get it out my hair. No. I do what any girl with a crazy mad scientist older brother does."

"Call him and get him to vaporize her!" I giggled again and gave her a chaste kiss.

"No. I simply channel my inner mad scientist and show off the personal gadgets I've created for safety purposes."

"Personal gadgets for safety purposes?" Questioned Kara looking at me. I just smiled and gave her another kiss.

"I'm a billionaire with an infamous last name baby. There are thousands who want my head on a spike despite my innocence. Take this lady for example. She threatened us, therefore I've a right to protect us."

"Ms. Luthor, is everything okay?" Asked a guy coming up to us. He's easily over six foot and very buff.

"Wait I'm.."

"No. Me and my girlfriend here-" I started but was interrupted.

"What's the issue Ms. Luthor?" Asked another guy showing up. So far so good. Looks like my app is working the way it's supposed to. I just didn't think the response time would be so quick.

"Sorry I am late, I got lost. Damn thing had me walking in circles." Spoke a woman coming up messing with her phone before eventually putting it into her pocket. "What's the problem Ms. Luthor?"

"Woah! Babe I didn't know you had a secret ninja army!" Smiled Kara in awe looking at my bodyguards.

"I'm National City's princess of science, of course I have my own royal secret army. Anyway, can you get this woman away from us? We were sitting here enjoying our food and she came up and is harassing us."

"I'm not harassing anyone. I'm speaking for everyone here-"

"See harassment." I spoke over her.

"Ma'am I need you to take a few steps back away from these two or else we are going to have to take legal action." Spoke the female guard stepping in front of the woman thus shielding her from us. It was here another guy showed up.

"Ms. Luthor." He spoke nodding to me.

"You can't do this to me! My husband is a Marine and you need to-" Anything she said after that I ignored and turned my attention back to Kara. My guards can handle the lady, Kara is my main priority.

"Blue? Are you okay?" I asked cupping her cheek.

"Our first heckler." She nodded looking over at the lady as my guards are effectively getting her away from us.

"Yeah I know and I'm sorry you had to endure that." I then leaned in and gave her a kiss. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with us being a couple and doing pda in public. We've every right to be affectionate anyplace we want."

"I know. Sometimes people confuse Alex and me as a couple so this isn't my first time being ostracized. Only this time it's not awkward because we're actually dating and you're really super hot." She smiled happily.

"Lucky you then huh?"

"Extremely." She then leaned in and gave me a kiss. "You know you're really lucky too." I ate a fry and responded.

"Oh yeah?" Kara cutely nodded and opened her mouth letting me know she wants a fry. It's my job to feed her so I did.

"Mhmmm. I'm one of the city's top reporters. You essentially get a free pass to go a lot of cool places as long as you're with me. Exhibit A for example." She then motioned around us.

"I didn't know I had to be part of the press to visit the Farmers market."

"And all this delicious free food."

"Wow perks of dating the one and only Kara Danvers." I grinned leaning in to kiss her.

"Ms. Luthor, is it possible we can get you to a safer location nearby to finish your lunch?" Asked one of my guards. That question isn't really up to me.

"Blue, what do you think? Should we stay or should we go?"

"We were sitting here first so I say we stay. We're almost done eating so no sense in leaving yet."

"My girl has spoken."

"Okay. We can't really make that crazy lady leave but we can keep her a safe distance away." He replied pointing over to the other three guards who are busy distracting the woman.

"That's fine. Thank you." I then waved him off and turned my attention back to my adorable tulip thief.

"What do you wanna do after we finish eating?" I then lifted her burger for her to have a bite.

"Dunno you're the one who is doing an article on our time here. You tell me." As she chewed I took a bite of a falafel we got from a Halal stall.

"Honestly I wanna go home, snuggle and watch tv with you." Ugh she's such a charmer. As she said that she reached for my hand only to interlace them and just hold my hand.

"But what about the evening stalls?"

"Well being that I know Zara only gave me this assignment to keep me busy so she could try and steal you away from me, I think she'll be fine if I make something up about them. She won't know the difference.. I hope."

"Little rebel huh?"

"The beetest!" She smiled pointing over to a stall that was selling vegetables. And one of the vegetables up front happened to be beets.

"You're the worst." I gave her another kiss before we continued eating. We sat and ate occasionally sharing long kisses just to spite the lady and help educate her son on how to not be an ass. Despite all the food choices we had Kara made sure to eat every last bite. Where she stores all those calories, I'll never know. But I'm even more complexed on the fact that she hasn't a single inch of fat to show for it either. Ehh that's a complaint but not really because I love my girlfriend's muscles. Anyway after we finished eating we continued looking at some other stalls my guards were not too far behind us.

"Babe look cotton candy!" I exclaimed because there is an animal toy store coming up and I don't want to hear her monologue about why we need to adopt an animal.

"Ooh."

"Yeah let's go get some." I then began tugging her in the direction. Doing this she stumbled a little being she's carrying the tulip so her balance is a little off.

"Wait!"

"No look it's being made fresh."

"Lee wait! Look doggy toys!" She exclaimed pointing to the stall. Fuck!

"Kar-" I couldn't finish before she's dragging me off towards the stall.

"Babe look!" She exclaimed handing me the tulip and picking up a carrot shaped chew toy. "If you carrot about me you'd get me a puppy." Here she goes.

"I carrot about you Blue, it's just a pet is a big responsibility and I think we should maybe wait a little longer before we decide to get one." I tried to reason with her. We've only been together barely two months.

"Well I plan to be with you forever so this already feels like a long time… None to mention we basically have been low key together for years now but I digress."

"Don't you start." I warned. She gave me this sly look before continuing to look at the toys. "Blue, one day but I thought we agreed on a bird not a dog." There don't seem to be any bird toys here so maybe that'll lure her away from this stall.

"You never specified that I had to choose one or the other." She spoke picking up a pink medium sized dog shirt that had the SuperGirl logo on it. "It's meant to be." I'm not going to deny the fact that we'd make a cute family but I just want to make sure that Kara is the one who was sent here just for me. And to add to that it doesn't help that Zara is lurking presumably watching every move I make. It's just reminding me of what once was and the traumatic experience it gave me. I promised myself I'd never get hurt like that again. That being said I want to spend as long as I can creating and fusing the bond between Kara and I. I wanna make undoubtedly sure that she's the one for me and me only.

"Babe you don't even know what kind of dog it's going to be."

"I'd like a golden doodle. So it'd have to be bigger." She then sat the shirt she was holding down and picked up a bigger sized one. "This'll due!" She smiled holding it up.

"What if it's a boy?"

"I'll just make sure he's super enough to wear pink." She shrugged looking at me then turning to the woman behind the stall. "I'll take this please."

"Okay. That'll be ten dollars." Spoke the woman taking the shirt from my girlfriend and folding it.

"Hmm add this too." Kara then picked up a pig shaped squeak toy and squeezed it. It let out this obnoxious oink sound. I hate it. "Perfect, he or she is going to love it."

"What if it doesn't?"

"Then we'll have to get another dog that hopefully will play with it. We'll just keep getting dogs until one of them loves it." Dear Rao what have I gotten myself into.

"Okay that'll be sixteen dollars." Spoke the woman putting everything into a bag. I watched as Kara pulled out the company card and handed it to the lady. I have a feeling this is going to come back to haunt me letting this loon buy these dog toys. I'd stop the transaction but the lady already swiped the card. Plus it's technically Zara's money Kara is spending so I suppose it doesn't matter.

"Thank you so much. I appreciate it." Smiled Kara taking the bag and card back.

"No problem. I hope this helps you get your fur baby. It's a sure fire way to see if your partner is the one for you." Hearing that I rolled my eyes.

"Oh come on that's not fair!" I complained.

"See that's two votes out of three. Now we have to get a puppy." Shrugged Kara turning to me.

"Eventually sure but right now no."

"Don't worry. I can convince her." Kara not so secretly whispered to the woman before starting to walk away from the stall. I simply followed her.

"You are a nut job."

"Am I a nut job or just a woman who knows what she wants and is determined to get it by any means necessary?" She sassed looking at me with this know it all grin. As much as I don't like that response, her confidence is oozing out of her and I like it.

"You know what I'm starting to think all that time you've spent with Cat really rubbed off on you."

"Probably. But is that a bad thing?" She questioned invading my personal space and giving me a small kiss. "I'm just looking for a way to keep you glued to me."

"Take off your shirt then." I shrugged. We love seeing Kara topless.

"Let's go home then." She purred giving me a kiss. "But we gotta stop by that dessert stall because I want that blueberry pie. I'll bring it in to work tomorrow so Zara can enjoy a little bit of the fruits of our labor." Not too thrilled to be on the subject of.. her. But at least it's not about pets anymore. That being said we began to head towards said stall.

"I dunno if she'll like it."

"But I thought you said she liked blueberries. I mean I like blueberries and obviously you are deeply enthralled by them. And the slice we had of the pie earlier was so good." It was here I grabbed her hand moving in closer to her. I noticed some guys break their necks looking at us as we walked past. I'm not jealous or anything just possessive. And because I don't like talking to strangers.

"We should definitely get the pie but it's just she has a strict diet and pie isn't something she can eat a lot of unless it's sugar free."

"Sheesh! Well what does she eat?"

"Pasta." I chuckled because it's honestly the only thing I've ever seen her eat. "She has the façade of a business woman but tastebuds of an eleven year old Italian child. Pasta, chicken nuggets, potatoes, and Oreos. Stick to those and you'll get what you want from her."

"Are you happy I eat just about anything?"

"Yes but that sadly means you eat everything. I've never seen someone eat an entire family sized bag of cheese puffs in one sitting until I met you." That got my girlfriend to giggle.

"Okay but was it not impressive?"

"It was mildly interesting to watch."

"You love watching me eat. If you didn't you would let me eat on my own. But I'm not even allowed to touch the utensils when I'm with you."

"Well I had to find my niche in your life. I took your favorite thing and added myself to it. Now when you go to eat you think of me." That got Kara to stop walking. "Doll?" I asked looking back at her.

"I don't only think about you when I go to eat. I think about you when I'm breathing too." For fucks sake! Here she goes again being the charmer she is. Like always I couldn't stop the smile and blush that came to my face.

"Blue." I whined because I'm gonna melt if she keeps going. She smirked and kissed the back of my hand.

"And I think a lot about you when I'm in bed or in the shower." That was followed with a wink and another kiss to the back of my hand. "Actually I've been thinking about you since the day I first met you."

"Shut up!" I warned halfheartedly as I pulled my hand from hers and began walking away. Any longer we'd end up in a bathroom stall together.

"I'm just saying."

"No! I know what you're doing and it's not gonna work." Kara caught up to me and interlaced our fingers again. This time she held it firm.

"You better stop letting go of my hand and running off. I don't like it."

"Sorry. You just are so cheesy and cringe."

"And you love that about me. That's the glue." She's not wrong so I simply cuddled into her side as we navigate our way to the dessert stall. It wasn't long before we found it. "You wanna try the cheesecake too?"

"Mmm okay. We can save it for later when we have our movie date night. Can cuddle and eat it with wine." I nodded.

"Would wine even be good with cheesecake?"

"Of course it'd just have to be a sweet white wine. Or just a dessert wine. Maybe even a rosè."

"They have dessert wines?"

"Oh yeah. There's a wine for literally everything you just have to know what to look for."

"Thank Rao I have you because I'd be so lost trying to figure out wine." I gave her a kiss on the cheek making my cutie blush a bit.

"That's why you pay me the big bucks to date you." I then gave her another kiss before speaking. "You get the food, I have to use the ladies room."

"Okay. Hurry back. And don't talk to strangers." She then gave me a kiss before I let her hand go and began looking for a bathroom. I wasn't wandering long before I found one, and used it. There wasn't any problems until I felt my phone buzz and it's a text message. Sadly it's not from anyone important but from Zara.

"Hey, good afternoon. I just wanted to check in and make sure you're alright after our conversation last night." It read. I totally forgot she somehow managed to get my number. I don't want to respond but at the same time I don't trust her. And I have to remain cordial so that she doesn't try to mess with Kara. So reluctantly I thought of an easy reply.

"Afternoon to you as well. And I'm fine. Kara and I are partaking in some retail therapy to cope." After sending that I left the bathroom headed back towards my favorite person. I didn't make it too far before I got another message.

"Yeah I can see that. You both are running up quite the tab. I didn't believe you when you told me Kara can eat almost half her body weight in food." That got me to laugh. Why would I lie about how much my girlfriend can consume in one sitting.

"Well that's your own fault. You gave a food addict an unlimited amount of money to go buy food. What'd you think would happen?" It was here I spotted the random single tulip in the arms of my food addict who I now know did an excellent job of indulging into her addiction. She's at the front of the line ordering so I decided to just stand nearby and wait for her to be done so we can go home. She claimed she was only getting the pie and a slice of cheesecake but I can clearly see her ordering much more than that. "Blue enough sweets we have some at home too." I spoke softly, making her turn to face me with a guilty look. No wonder she didn't put up a fight letting me go to the bathroom without her. She's got like four boxes of sweets on the counter in front of her. Two was already bad enough. "No more Kara I mean it." After I said that my phone buzzed again with another text from Zara.

"I dunno. I should've known better. Just didn't think she'd actually try every food stall there." I don't know what she expected. She saw what happens when Kara is given money to get food and left unattended. I gave her my card to get us some drinks and the little fatty came back with almost every snack in the building.

"Well I can promise you a beautifully written detailed article about our time at the farmers market." To emphasize this I took a picture of Kara and her mountain of sweets and sent it. "I'm pretty sure there's some pie in there for you.. granted she doesn't eat it at some point tonight."

"Babe they had Baklava! I couldn't help myself. I had to get us some." Kara smiled walking towards me. I put my phone away and focused my attention on my sweetie. Both her arms are full with different bags so she can't stop me from stealing a kiss. "I think the-" As soon as she was close enough I put my arms around her neck and began making out with her. Once I felt I let everyone know Kara is my girlfriend I pulled away.

"You think what?"

"I tulip-ly forgot what I was gonna say." She is such a dreamboat.

"Sorry. But let's go home, we're running out of hands." I explained taking the tulip from her and the bag that has my new throw blanket in it. There also was a butcher stall here and we got some steaks for dinner tonight and other cuts of meat, so I took that bag from her as well.

"Okay fine. Can we stop to get milkshakes on the way."

"No. You basically ate this entire market half clean. You can go another hour without eating. Besides you have a bunch of sweets at home that I made for you this morning. Do you remember where we parked?"

"Yeah it's this way." Kara then started in a direction and I followed. As we walked we went past a bunch of empty stalls for lease. "Hey babe?"

"Yes?"

"What are your plans for retirement?"

"Dunno entirely. It'd depend on if I'm married or not. If I have any kids. The well being of L-Corp. It'd all depend where I'm at when the time comes. Why?"

"I'm just thinking about how at peace you seemed baking this morning. And I can assure you by the time we both retire you'll be married with four kids, two dogs, a cat, two birds, and a lizard. And what kind of house did you want again? A rancher? White picket fence?"

"You seem pretty confident about my future. What about yours?" That earned me a giggle in response.

"Well I don't know about you but I plan to intertwine my future with yours so your future is my future. But I was thinking eventually we'll have to give up our nine to fives. And we can't be supering forever. Eventually the kids will grow up and move out and we will need something to do in our free time. So what if we open a stall here?" When she asked that she looked at me.

"A stall?"

"Mhmm. We can sell the sweets you bake. I don't know if you know but you're an excellent baker. We can call it Lena's sweet eats."

"I dunno, Blue. I only really bake when I'm flustered or just need to release some stress."

"I know. It's only a suggestion and you've got like forty years to think about it. Whatever you decide then I'll support you. I want whatever you want babe. But remember if we're still together when the time comes I think I'll be able to stress you out enough to want to either kill me or bake." She nodded with a smile. Ugh I'm seriously so confused on how it is she has ex's. With how undoubtedly loyal and thoughtful she is I don't understand why she's not married by now. But I guess that's the reason why I was granted such an opportunity.

"You know you make it really hard to find an excuse to ever break up with you. Not that I've been looking or anything. You're just every female's dream partner and I feel so lucky to have you."

"I'm not really doing anything special. I just remember when I first got to Earth Alex showed me a ton of nineties romantic movies and stuff. And that's where I learned how humans like to be treated by their significant others. I kinda just do things I know you like and hope it works out. Most of the time it does. And you are so very lucky to have me! Especially with your brother's history of violence towards Kryptonians." It was here that Kara's car came into sight.

"We're only half related. We share the same father and that's it. Besides, I disowned him. I'm an only child."

"Sure thing, Petal. But I need you to reach in my pocket and grab the keys." Kara spoke as we approached the car.

"Okay, what pocket?" She smiled, turned around and bent over sticking her ass out to me.

"One of them." Well I can clearly see them in the left pocket, giving me opportunity to smack her on the right cheek. So like the great girlfriend I am I wound my hand back and smacked her ass as hard as I could. That was a fun idea until I remembered she's kryptonian and especially unaffected by my slap. So in the end it mostly just hurt my hand. "Hey!?"

"Owe fuck!" I groan shaking my hand because it's a little numb from that.

"You didn't turn the bracelet on dummy." I glared at her. "Get the keys and we can go home and try that again." Fair enough. Grabbing the keys I unlocked the car so we can load it up and get a move on. As we were doing that both of our phones pinged. Looking at our phones it appears there is trouble somewhere in need of help from the Super Friends. "Shoot!" Kara then grabbed my face and gave me a kiss. "I gotta go, Stink. There's trouble and they need me." She then gave me another kiss before closing the trunk and handing me the keys. "Just drive him home and I'll meet you there later." She then gave me another kiss before taking off running to go change I guess. Ugh thank goodness she's so beautiful. But it appears she forgot I'm part of the team too. Not only that but she didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye to her. That being said I waited and watched her run until she was out of site. I then watched the sky and noticed her shoot off into the sky. Once she did that I opened the trunk and grabbed out the perishables we just got. With how much she loves food you'd think she'd remember that the meats have to stay refrigerated. Plus if she's going to take me to the tower I might as well bring the sweets I packed up as well being we did plan to go there after we finished here. Once I got everything I pushed my special Supergirl button on my watch that summons only her. It's a good thing she just got done sweet talking to me because I'd be so upset with her.

"Come on dummy you forgot the one person who protects you best of all." After a few more seconds Supergirl landed not too far away from me. "You forget who makes your anti-kryptonite suits or are you trying to kick me off the team?" I sassed immediately.

"Sorry Ms. Luthor. Kara sent me to come get you. She sends her apologies." She smiled coming up to me and placing a kiss on my cheek. "I'm sorry baby I'm still getting used to my girlfriend working with me to protect the city." She whispered in my ear, making me grin. I'm always going to be a simp for her in her super suit. I hope nobody is watching because naturally I had to steal a kiss. I know I shouldn't because I'm with Kara but who doesn't want to kiss Supergirl?

"Now take me to the tower."

"Yes your majesty."

The next morning Kara's POV

I just got in to the office and settled in. I was actually a little bit late getting in today because my ever so delightful girlfriend, again for some reason, was up baking this morning. Only this time she was making bread. She forced me to use my heat vision to help make her doughs rise faster. And naturally I had to stay and cook one so I could try it before I left. It was a simple sourdough and it was delicious. So delicious in fact that she made me two sandwiches with it for my mid morning pre afternoon snack. She even packed my lunch for me. As awesome as it is, I'm worried. She still hasn't told me about the dinner or what happened after I went back upstairs that made her cry in my arms the way she did. She'll come to me when she's ready I just have to be patient. But I've never seen her stress bake so I'm unsure if I should force it out of her or not. I don't want to not do anything about it then have something bad happen with her. I'm really worried about her is all. I just wish she'd communicate with me about how she's feeling. It's killing me not knowing but I believe in my girlfriend and I know she'll come to me. "Hi Kara!" Looking up it's Nia.

"Hey cutie! How'd you sleep?" She flashed me her adorable smile before speaking.

"Like a dream."

"Good."

"What about you? Are you okay? Is something wrong?" I gave her a questioning look. Is it that obvious?

"I'm okay. I'm just thinking about Lena. When she got home from dinner Saturday she just broke down and cried in my arms. Then once she finished she just fed me, we showered, had sex, then we went to bed."

"…Okay.. I don't see the problem there. Maybe she was just overwhelmed by having to sit an entire dinner across from her ex who cheated on her. I understand that. If I had to go to dinner with one of my ex's I think I'd cry during and after it."

"It could be but I don't know. She wouldn't tell me anything except that I needn't worry about Zara bothering me anymore."

"Sounds like Lena to me. Took her five years to work up the courage to tell you she had feelings for you and ask you out. Besides she's always kinda kept to herself unless she sees one of us in need of kind words. Besides I thought you said the only reason she went to the dinner was for you?"

"I-I know. And I am the reason she went. But I also feel like she went because she needed closure. The last time they spoke before recently was like over ten years ago. And you know how that all ended. I thought that maybe she was relieved to say what she had to say or something. But then the next morning I wake up to her baking."

"Oh tell her those scones were Amazing. I couldn't stop eating them. I think she put her foot in it or something because-"

"She called it stress baking. And she was stress baking again this morning. Mind you it's barely nine am and she made me a sandwich with the bread she made this morning. Ideally it takes a couple hours to make bread and she had two done by the time I woke up." I explained showing her exactly why I'm so worried. When I said it Nia gave me a confused sad look.

"Ooh."

"Yeah. She's not sleeping really and it didn't start until she-"

"Came home from the dinner."

"Yeah, and I'm super worried."

"Good morning ladies! How are my favorite two reporters?" Chimed Zara coming up to us with a giant smile. For some odd reason she looks radiant this morning and I don't like it. Must be the glow of ruining my girlfriend. She did or said something to my girlfriend that's causing her to lose sleep, and that's not ok. When I eventually find out what happened I hope for her sake it isn't bad because I will put her on the moon. I was fully prepared to the moment I first saw her and she hugged my girlfriend.

"Uh.. umm.. good. Good." Responded Nia looking between the two of us.

"Good. I love the dress you're wearing today, it really compliments your smile." Zara spoke motioning to Nia's dress. It's a simple yellow babydoll dress with white polka dots.

"Thank you. My boyfriend picked it out for me. He says I'm the light of his life." Smiled Nia obviously very in love with Brainy.

"Oh! Well it sounds to me like your boyfriend is a smart fella."

"The smartest being on this earth right now.. you know apart from Lena." Gah she had to do it. But at the same time she isn't wrong.

"I think that can be very closely debated." I replied.

"So are we just going to pretend like Lena doesn't kill us all in almost every category in trivia except for pop culture?"

"But that's because I have a lightning fast buzzer finger. If I didn't Brainy would dominate just as equally. In fact I'd say that he is the same level as Lena."

"Was this all part of family game night?" Asked Zara getting us to look at her. "Oh Lena told me about it and how she is the reigning Jenga champion."

"Yes she is. Four weeks going strong." I smiled because that's my baby.

"It's not fair! She's got surgeon hands. She very rarely ever misses." That got me to chuckle a little bit.

"Oh those hands are magical alright." I then winked and shot them both a smirk. "Anyway how was your weekend, Zara? You bribed me to steal my girlfriend and take her to dinner without my permission."

"Yeah sorry about that but she gave me no choice. I meant no harm by that.. there just were some loose ends that needed tying."

"Well you did feed me all day yesterday. So I'll forgive you. Oh and here." I then reached into my satchel to pull out my wallet then pulled out the company card she gave me Friday afternoon. "Here you go. Got a ton of good insight so this article is gonna be a great one." I then handed her the card back.

"Sure hope so. Now, did you buy anything to share?" Honestly I didn't. Lena wouldn't let me eat any of the pie. She said that I don't need to be eating any other sweets that she didn't make especially for me. So sadly I have the blueberry pie right here at my desk.

"By the grace of Lena I managed not to eat any of this delicious blueberry pie for you guys." I smiled picking up the box and handing it to her.

"Really? Not even a small nibble?" Asked Nia very surprised.

"I wasn't even allowed to look at it. It was either pie or no sex for a week."

"Well it smells divine." It was here Zara managed to open the box. "You said this was blueberry right?"

"Yep. They had single slices of the different pies they had. Me and Lena tried them all actually and it was the blueberry that won us both over. I for sure thought I'd like the apple best but it wasn't that good."

"Well that's good. I love me some pie. Doesn't matter what kind I just want pie." Smiled Zara as she closed the box. I should smush her face into the pie. She's lucky I l-respect my girlfriend.

"I'm still stuck on those scones from yesterday." Added Nia rubbing her stomach. "I never would've guessed your girlfriend's hidden talent was baking."

"Neither would I! That's why I was telling you about what I was before. I'm worried I'm gonna go home and find she baked herself into a cake or something."

"I'm sure it's fine. You know how Lena is. She'll talk to you when she's ready. You're literally the only person she'll open up to on that level." I half smiled at Nia before looking down at my phone. No messages from my girlfriend. She didn't go to work today. When I left she was barefoot in a hoodie kneading dough on the counter. When I got here I texted letting her know that I made it safely like we always do every morning. But since she didn't go to work I guess she just hasn't seen my text yet. Hopefully she's just sleeping or busy baking. I definitely am going to go check on her during lunch. And it worries me even more to have the reason my girlfriend isn't functioning normally standing in front of me. And it bothers me because Zara seems completely fine. What the fuck did she say to Lena to make her start stress baking and losing sleep?

"I know but I can't help myself. She's the center of my universe and when she dulls her shine it affects me too and I just want to help her." I spoke softly looking at the picture I have of me and Lena on my desk. My girlfriend has the most beautiful smile and I hate knowing she's at home battling some sort of internal turmoil all on her own.

"Kara you've a diamond heart." Nia then came over and hugged my head. "I think you're worried for nothing. I've seen the way you guys look at each other. We can't forget who she grew up around. It's just her instincts that's making her feel she has to deal with whatever on her own. It's okay I'm sure it's fine."

"Nia is right. I'm sure my opinion probably means nothing to you but-" She's the reason Lena is hiding her emotions so obviously her words mean nothing to me. "During our dinner she talked a lot about you. She went out her way to make sure she brought you home a midnight snack and lunch for the next day. You're pretty high up on a pedestal in her world so I'm sure she'll tell you in due time."

"Yeah. She takes good care of my tummy." I smiled because that lasagna was delicious and the Alfredo was to die for. Then I've homemade sandwiches for my mid day snack courtesy of my girlfriend. "A blessing and a curse."

"Hey if you want you can go home early today if you're so worried. I don't want you working if you're too distracted."

"No it's okay. This is what she needs. Space to figure out whatever she's dealing with. Doing that should help her figure out how to tell me. Besides I really want to have a piece of that pie. I just remembered how good it is and I want more." I no longer wish to discuss my Lena with her ex girlfriend. Especially when I know she's the reason my girlfriend is doing this.

"Kar you haven't even finished your breakfast yet." Giggled Nia pointing to my bagel.

"I know but I deserve to taste what I worked so hard to bring in for everyone."

"Rightfully so. Anyway I'm gonna cut this bad boy in the break room." Zara then gave us both a smile before going off towards the break room. I waited until she was a good distance away before I spoke.

"It's her fault."

"Huh?"

"She's the reason Lena has been acting weird. She said or did something to my girlfriend that made her start acting weird."

"Well best I can tell you is you're a reporter. Figure it out. See what you can dig up without being too obvious." Shrugged Nia moving to be standing in the front of my desk. "But at the same time, trust in your girlfriend. She'll tell you everything when she's ready. Anyway you wanna go out for lunch today?" Nia is right I should just relax and have faith in my girlfriend. She'll come to me when she's ready.

"Ok. But I plan to go and check on Lena first. Make sure she's ok."

"Ok. That's fine." She then began to leave.

"Kay. Find where you wanna eat." I called after her.

"Okay. Will do." Then with that I continued on my day here like I usually do.

Later

Ideally I'd go home now that I'm off work but I wanted to check in on my girlfriend. She hasn't texted me since little after I checked in on her during my lunch break. I'm just so worried about her. I don't have a key to her apartment yet, but I did make it my point to unlock her balcony doors whilst I was here for lunch. Flying up there like I suspected the doors are still open. On first glance the kitchen and living room are empty. I can hear her heartbeat and light snoring. She must be sleeping. Walking towards the kitchen first I noticed a bunch of baked goods on cooling racks on the counter. But mostly I noticed that there is an empty bottle of scotch on the counter. If my memory serves me correctly this bottle was half full when I left this morning. Honestly seeing it my heart dropped a little bit. She must really be hurting if she's day drinking. Going to the bedroom, I quietly snuck in. The shades are drawn and she's completely passed out in her bed. Poor thing. Walking up to the bed she's wearing my hoodie and sprawled out across the bed.

"Awe baby. I'm so sorry you're hurting. I just wish you'd tell me what's wrong. I wanna help you." I then grabbed her blanket and pulled it up over her to tuck her in. "You're so goddamn stubborn but I love you regardless. Oh fuck!" I didn't mean to say that out loud to her.. not yet atleast. "Ehh you're not listening to me. You're passed out drunk. But it's true Lena Kieran Luthor. I'm in love with you and I promise I'm going to find out what she said or did that has you like this. Then I am going to make you feel better." Kissing my girlfriend's cheek I moved towards the bathroom. There I went into the medicine cabinet and grabbed the ibuprofen. I don't know if she's going to need it but it's better safe than sorry. Taking them with me I sat them on the nightstand. From there I went into the kitchen and got her a bottle of water to wash the pills down with and just so she has some hydration when she inevitably wakes up. I also grabbed a trash can incase she has to throw up. Setting the bottle next to the pills, and the can on the floor, I took another glance at my girlfriend's sleeping form. Of all the relationships I've had I never would've guessed I'd fall for another woman. And especially not a woman who is the half little sister of one of this Earth's most hated men and one of my nemesis. But I can't blame myself, Lena is so beautiful. It's no wonder she's everyone's favorite princess of science. Secretly I think everyone is in love with her. I'm just the lucky one who gets to cuddle up with her every night. But most importantly I'm the one in charge of taking care of her. And that means cooking her a nice dinner to wake up to. "Alright. I'll be back beautiful. Gonna go find us some dinner." Leaning down I kissed her cheek again before leaving the room completely. From there I took inventory of the kitchen to see what I can make. I personally have never experienced a hangover the way humans do so after looking up some remedies, I decided to make her some chicken noodle soup. She made plenty of bread today so I'll give her some toast as well. And to be safe I'm gonna fry her up an egg as well. We are fresh out of eggs so a trip to the store it is. Taking her keys I left headed to further cement why I'm perfect girlfriend material.

Lena's POV

"Wake up baby." And then I'm being shook awake. "Come on sugar. You can't sleep all day."

"Mmm." I groaned because my head feels heavy and my tummy feels sickly. Definitely had a cup too many of scotch.

"Come on baby. I know you're probably so hungover but it's almost eight and I don't want you messing up our sleep schedule." Then there were kisses being placed on my face.

"K-Kara?" Last I checked I was home alone.

"Yes. I've been worried about you all day. You stopped answering my texts and phone calls so I came to make sure my little Stink is okay." She cooed stroking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Cuddles?" I asked opening my eye to look at her.

"Alright. But only after you take this ibuprofen and have some water." She then moved and came back with both items. "Here sit up." I desperately wish she let me sleep but I know this is what's best for me. Letting out a sigh I slowly got to my side and sat up. Doing so definitely made my stomach quiver like I might throw up at any moment.

"Ugh."

"You look like you got smacked by a bus." Grinned Kara with a little giggle. I'd say something smart but I feel like I gotta throw up.

"I'll throw up on you."

"It'll be in your bed so that's a lose lose situation." I simply glared at her and took the water from her. I took a sip and then took the pills from her. "You're so beautiful." She smiled looking at me with a creepy smile. I then put the pills in my mouth. "Okay good. Now swallow. Wash it down with water." I want to but I can't. I feel like I'm gonna puke. I'll just fake pretend to swallow it then spit it out when she's not looking. I know it's good for me but right now I just can't. "Alright you feeling a little better." I just nooded. "Can I have a kiss?" Fuck I can't say no to that but I also don't want her to know I didn't swallow the pills. They're just hidden under my tongue. Thankfully they're capsules so I can hold them for a while. Anyway I simply puckered my lips towards her. She got the hint and moved in to kiss me. It was fine until I felt her try to deepen our kiss. I want to stick my tongue in her mouth but I can't because it's hiding a fugitive. "Babe? Do you needa throw up?" I shook my head no. Now she's staring at me with a questioning look. "Are.. did you not swallow the pills?"

"I swallowed." Making sure not to lift my tongue so she can't see.

"You know I have x-ray vision right?" Fuck! "Babe just swallow it. You'll be fine. It'll make you feel better."

"I don't want it." And with that I spat them out into my hand.

"Lena?"

"I-I know but I just can't."

"But it's good for you."

"My tummy hurts." I pouted.

"But if you swallow them it won't anymore." I just pouted at her. "I made you dinner and I'm not gonna feed it to you until you eat those." Now that she mentioned it, it does smell really good. Like something hearty and homemade is on the stove. "Try it one more time. Please! For me?"

"I need something to eat it with. Maybe some bread."

"Ok. Stay here." Kara then got up and kissed my forehead. "Don't you throw those out. There's more where that came from. We'll be here all night if we have to." I just pouted at her. I definitely was going to throw them out.

"Kay." She then left my room and then in a flash she was back with a piece of bread. I always forget my girlfriend isn't human. "Here put the pills in it like a sammie." She spoke holding out the bread for me to put the pills on. Doing as she said, she then folded it hotdog way and held it towards me. "Open sesame."I then took a bite of the bread. Nope! I almost immediately separated the pill from the bread. "Good! See it's not so hard. You wanna try the-" I opened my mouth to show her the pill and that I swallowed the bread. "Lena?! Seriously?!"

"I really tried this time." I pouted because I just don't like taking pills. I never have and probably never will. I then spat the pill out and batted my eyes at her. I know she has good intentions but I just have a hard time swallowing pills.

"Baby?! I'm trying to take care of you and you're making it hard for me."

"That's what she said." I smiled softly trying to get her to not be upset with me. That earned me a kiss.

"Well I have one more trick." She then flashed away then came back with a piece of ham, turkey, and American cheese cold cuts. "Here." She motioned to the pills and showed me the cold cuts. She must be trying to roll it up in it. Hmm maybe that'll work, so I put the pills onto the stack. I then watched her turn her back to me just enough so I guess I can't see where she places the pills. "Okay here. Try that." She then held out the roll for me to bite. Mmm being I just woke up from a booze nap this is delicious. So delicious I ate the whole thing. "That's what I like to see. Now open. Let me see." Smiling I opened my mouth to show her I ate all the cold cuts. "Yay! See I knew you could-" I then lifted my tongue to show her I hid them under my tongue. "Damnit!"

"I'm sorry." I then spat out the pills.

"It's just two pills Le. Why is it so difficult for you to swallow?"

"Have you ever seen me take any kind of medication before? No because this is why. I just can't swallow pills. It's been this way since I was a kid. They'd have to hold me down and force them down my throat. Or they'd crush them up and put it in a pudding cup or whatever they could mix it into for me to eat. Sorry I'm difficult. I know you're just trying to take care of me and I don't mean to be but it's a stupid quirk I have."

"I am now truly convinced you are my forever girl. The fact that I have to force feed you pills only solidifies how obsessed I am with you. No person in their right mind would have the patience. Lucky for you, I'm a sucker for you." And then I got a kiss on my forehead. "I'm obsessed with you darling. Can I have those?" She then motioned to my hand holding the pills.

"Just pass me the trash can-"

"I ate you out last night and we swap spit several times a day. I can do it. Besides I don't want you moving around too much since you're hungover." Ugh she's such a dream boat. Kara then took the pills from me and threw them out for me.

"What'd you make for dinner, it smells r-really good."

"I looked up the best foods for hangovers and chicken noodle soup came up so I made you soup and toast and eggs. But I really would like it better if you-" As she was talking my stomach decided that the bread and cold cuts did not belong on the island and it's time for them to go.

"Babe I have-" I started as I began to move but I guess Kara caught on and then suddenly we're in the bathroom. "to throw up."

"Ugh you're such a lucky woman to have me." Before I could respond I began throwing up my entire life into the toilet. "It's a damn good thing you're beautiful because I don't do throw up." As she was saying that I felt her gathering my hair and holding it up for me. It's so small but so impactful to me. She's taking care of me after my day drinking episode. And she's holding my hair back for me. When I get level headed again I'm gonna spoil the fuck out of her. Kara is definitely a keeper no doubt about it. Anyway I didn't throw up long because I didn't have much to eat today so I mostly was throwing up bile and the water Kara gave me. Then after that we had a shower. I enjoyed this because she essentially held me close to her the entire time only letting me go so she could wash us both up. I mostly enjoyed having her just completely baby me. After our shower we got dressed and found ourselves in the kitchen. I liked this because Kara is wearing the Stitch onsie again so I get to wear my Rainbow Dash onsie.

"I don't wanna."

"Babe just try it." Kara then held out a spoonful of Nutella towards me.

"Nooo. I know you put the pills in there." Yeah we're still trying to get me to take the ibuprofen. She went as far as flying to the store to get a different brand to see if maybe it'll go down easier.

"Yeah but it's a different kind. They're smaller."

"But you just gave me a Nutella sammie I don't want any more. I want real food, I'm hungry." I whined.

"And I'm feeding you now. Look dinner is ready you just gotta eat this spoonful of hazelnut deliciousness and we can eat." Honestly I am tired of this. I really want to eat and hopefully I can keep it down.

"If I eat it can we please eat?"

"Sure can. This is gonna make your head feel better." I sighed and moved in to hug my cozy alien. She got the memo and used her free hand to wrap around me.

"I just want cuddles."

"I know Stink. But I care more about your comfort more than anything right now. And you have a headache so this will make you not have a headache anymore and this way we can cuddle comfortably." Hearing that my heart jumped.

"Why are you so perfect?"

"Because you have me wrapped around your finger and I'll do anything for you. Gotta protect the mother of my future babies. You gotta live just long enough to pop them out then you can go around not swallowing ur medication. Till then you have to take them. So open up for the Nut Express." The last bit made me cringe but it was funny.

"Please don't call anything you're going to force me to swallow the Nut Express."

"You don't wanna swallow nut?" I rolled my eyes and took the spoonful of Nutella. Eating it I don't taste any medicine. "Mm you look so sexy with Nut in your mouth." In response I hit her.

"Shut up!"

"I'm just saying. Besides I win. I got you to take the medicine. I crushed it up and mixed it into the Nutella sandwich I gave you. The spoonful was to guarantee you swallowed it all."

"Well it makes sense as to why it tasted a little funny. I just thought I added too much baking soda to the bread." Kara smiled then kissed my forehead.

"Nope, the bread is perfect. You said they disguised medicine in pudding cups for you as a kid so I figured I could probably get you to take it that way. Being the big little kid you are, you fell for it. But then again nobody can resist a Nutella sammie."

"Thank you."

"No problem sweetheart. It's just another thing I know about you. And I now know how to get around it."

"You're my favorite thing in the entire universe." I spoke hugging her and nuzzling my head in her neck.

"Good. The universe sent me here to be exactly that for you. Looks like I've completed my mission. I can finally go home now." She then began to pull away from me but she didn't get far because I've got her trapped in my arms.

"NO! You have to stay right here with me." And to prove that I bit at her neck. "You're my alien and I'm not giving you back. Not without putting up a fight first."

"Rao you're such a mushy hearted romantic it sickens me." She fake complained. Wrapping her arms around me she gave me a tight squeeze hug. "My favorite Luthor." My heart is fluttering knowing I have someone who genuinely wants to be with me.

"Can we eat now?" I asked with dough eyes looking up at her getting her to look down at me. Gah I'll never get over those blueberry eyes.

"I thought you'd never ask." Right after she said that her stomach growled.

"Well I gotta keep you well fed that way you don't leave." She gave me a kiss before letting me go to grab us out a bowl. I moved to grab a spoon.

"That's true. If you don't feed me I'll have to leave in search for food somewhere else."

"You're not allowed to eat without me if I'm available." Kara then stood by the pot holding the bowl so I put the spoon in it and began to ladle soup into the bowl.

"What if I'm flying to.. maybe Greece and I get hungry, right."

"Mhm."

"And I decide to make a pit stop. I wanna get a gyro platter. Do I have to fly all the way home so I can eat it with you?" I thought for a moment being careful not to spill any soup.

"Yes."

"But it'll go cold by the time I get to you."

"You have heat vision."

"But what if you're in a meeting or something?"

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if Supergirl sat in during it. Besides she is the reason I got my most recent grant so I encourage it." It was here I finished filling the bowl.

"I made toast and an egg for you." My girlfriend then moved and opened the oven and pulled out a plate that had said items. Naturally I went to take it from her but before I could grab it she moved it. "No. Sorry it's hot and I don't want you to burn yourself."

"Kara!" I then hovered my hand under the plate and I can feel the heat radiating from it.

"Perks of being a Kryptonian. I'm virtually indestructible." She smiled very pleased with herself.

"You're such a weirdo." I then watched as she placed the plate and bowl down on the counter and closed the oven before turning it off.

"My weirdness is how I create the illusion of being human." As she said that she started to hover off the ground a little making me smirk. She's such a loser.

"Yeah, totally human. Nothing suspicious at all. But come on human let's eat." Grabbing her hand I drug her around to the other side of the counter and I sat down. "Sit." I instructed being she's still hovering a little off the ground.

"Yes ma'am." She then sat in the chair next to me and moved it closer so we're basically shoulder to shoulder. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here with you all day." She spoke softly moving my chin to look at her. "I was worried about you all day. I could barely write my article. Just happy you're ok." And then I got a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm sorry Blue. I promise you I'll let you in. You'll be the first to know once I come to terms with what happened. It's just apparently.. the way Zara and I broke up was all a lie. For over ten years I spent being mad at her for the wrong reasons. I-Ive been doing my research and fact checking everything but it's all circling back to the truth. Everything checks out, and that truth is proving to be a pill I can't take down disguised in a Nutella sandwich or a pudding cup." I explained best I could without telling her too much. I also at this time tried a spoonful of the soup and it's delicious. Right from the first bite I can tell she didn't get this from out of a can.

"We're okay right? I mean does it affect us in anyway?"

"Honestly Kara.. I don't know. I mean I've been playing with a lot of what if scenarios hence why I had a drink.." I then paused for a moment because I realized I've talked myself into a corner. But at the same time I can't lie to her. I then picked up a spoonful of soup and held it out for my girlfriend. She actually moved her head letting me know that I had better continue explaining. So I ate the spoonful myself. "I still want to be with you Kara. We have a bond unlike anything I've ever felt for Zara. I say that because I've had two days to process these emotions and I'm not that same girl I was back in college. I am who I am now and I am infatuated by your stupid jokes, terrible puns and adorable blueberry eyes." I cooed using my left hand to grab her right and interlace them together. I then brought our hands up so I could kiss the back of her hand. "You're everything that is good in my life right now and I'd be crazy to let you go. I mean part of it is because I'm scared you'll become a crazy super ex-girlfriend and never leave me alone, but I know that I know you. I haven't seen or spoke to Zara in years. If everything she told me is true then she's a complete stranger. Just someone I used to know. I virtually know nothing about her other than what I knew about her in college." Kara is just staring at me. "Please say something. I told you I wasn't going to lie to you anymore."

"Did whatever she say to you bring back any feelings for her that I should know about?" There was no avoiding that question. Inevitably it'd come up and I have to be honest.

"That's why one drink turned into six." I spoke not looking at her. However I made sure to look her in the eyes for this part. "But at the same time I still really really like you. And I find comfort in you and knowing I can be myself with you. I've only been thinking about you when we're being intimate or when we kiss. When we have sex I'm only having sex with you, Kara. You're my sexy alien and you turn me on just by smiling at me. The other night did stir up some old emotions but it's nothing compared to the feeling you give me when I'm with you." I then leaned in and kissed her neck while my finger found it's way to the O ring on her collar. "Besides, I'd be crazy to leave my perfect little submissive. Plus this soup is really good and I like having my own personal chef who has sex with me on the side as payment." I purred getting her to smile. "Admit it cutie, you love being my doting little submissive. Doing anything and everything to please me." I then placed a few more kisses on her neck. "I noticed you showing off these past two days after you learned I was having dinner with someone else. Abusing your super powers to keep my attention. It was cute but really all you gotta do is show me your sexy body and I'll come rub you." She got the memo and unbuttoned the onsie so I can see her abs. Naturally I started to rub them. "Ugh! You're so sexy. Now I wanna have sex with you."

"Well you have to feed me first. And then maybe I'll consider it."

"But I'm the one who's hungover. I thought you were taking care of me."

"That was before you told me what you just told me. Now I'm feeling a little insecure and you need to prove to me that I have nothing to worry about when it comes to Zara."

"I don't want her, Kara. Do I miss her? A little bit, yeah. I'm not going to lie. She was my very first love that has always left a bitter taste. I mean nobody ever really truly gets over their first love. But just because I miss her doesn't mean I want her back."

"Well you'd be a fool to go back to the person who cheated on you." Oof that one cut like the edge of a piece of paper. I suppose I should correct her. Yet at the same time I don't want to add any more doubt to her head. If I tell Kara that Zara actually didn't cheat on me I'm almost positive it'd turn this entire conversation south. But mostly I don't want Kara to have any doubt in me.. in us. Eventually I'll have to tell her because she's a reporter and Zara is her boss. So it's either I tell Kara or Zara probably will. I reckon I'll be good in not telling her for a little. I just need to find a way to tell her.

"I don't want my heart broken again by the same person twice. But if you want proof I grant you it." I then gave my girlfriend a kiss before getting up and going to the bedroom.

"Hey?! Come back!" I just ignored her and moved around the blankets on my bed to find my phone. Once I found it I began back towards my girlfriend. This is perfect because I actually have a few messages from Zara. They're just texts wondering if I'm okay.

"I give you full access to go through this." I spoke placing my phone on the counter and sitting down. "In fact I've messages from her now. How should we respond?" When I asked that she let out a sigh.

"I would love to go through it. But at the same time I won't. If I pick that up and go through it we'd be back to square one. I trust you Lena. I'm trusting your word. I trust that after everything we've been through and all the pain we've put each other through that you wouldn't lie to me again. And so I'm going to ask you one more time. What did she tell you that caused this conversation we're having now?" I just stared at her. I'm between a rock and a hard place. Telling her would help display my loyalty to her but it'd also cause suspicion. But if I don't tell her it's going to seem like I'm hiding something. Regardless, I can't win.

"Kara I'm still trying to process it." She let out a groan before getting up and heading to the door. I'll be damned if she thinks she's leaving. That being said I got up and chased after her. I ran and blocked the door so she can't go.

"Please get out my way."

"Well I forbid you from leaving. So no."

"Lena why won't you just tell me what happened?"

"I want to but I just don't know-"

"I've been patient and understanding all weekend with you. You fucking drunk yourself silly today over this today. I feel like you don't trust me or something. I don't understand why this is so hard for you to just tell me?"

"It's honestly not my business to really tell. It's a lot deeper under the surface than I'm making it seem. What she told me was personal for her and I just don't feel right sharing it." I then moved closer to her so we were toe to toe. "I want to tell you but it's really not my place to say. But like I said before I'm still trying to process it. I know it probably feels like I'm hiding something from you but I'm not. I'm sorry I'm forcing you to sit back and watch me go through this all on my own but I just don't feel comfortable telling you something she told me in confidence.." I looked down at my hands when I got to this part. It just hurts knowing that the fact that I'm dating Kara right now is because of Zara doubting my love for her and breaking my heart. I know deep in my heart that had she told me the truth back then, my life could possibly be totally different today. It's a scary thought to think but at the same time it's not. I'm perfectly happy with my Kara. She's been jumping through hoops for me all weekend. That to me is the reason I don't want her to go. "especially since it took her over ten years to even build the courage to tell me. And then spent millions to get me alone to tell me said secret." Looking up at my girlfriend she's got on a stoic look but I don't think she actually wants to leave. So I moved in closer to her. Now I'm completely in her personal space. "Kara I.. please stay. I don't wanna go to bed without being wrapped up in your arms. You're my safe place and I need you most of all. I want you to stay. Besides you should at least let me feed you before you go." I then put my hand on her stomach. Right when I did that it let out a deep growl proving my point. "You might wanna go but your tummy wants to stay!" I smiled teasing her because she knows I've her and her stomach wrapped around my finger.

"That wasn't a hunger growl, it was an upset one."

"Stay and eat with me. I'll make you Totinos and I'll mix the combination and cheese ones together so it's a pizza roll roulette. I know you love that." I cooed wrapping my arm around her neck. I used my other hand to draw random patterns on her chest. "After you finish those I'll make you a grilled cheese sandwich. And if you're good, I'll let you have a Klondike." My girlfriend is food motivated so I know all I have to do is offer to feed her and she'll do whatever I want.

"Do you really think food is going to make me drop everything you just said?" She sassed. I smiled and batted my eyes at her before replying.

"No. But I know it'll get you to stay." Her stomach let out a grumble obviously taking my side.

"Quiet you!" She growled hitting her stomach. She's such a weirdo it's cute. It's only right I kiss her. Getting to my tippy toes I gave my girlfriend a kiss. "I'm only staying for the food then I'm leaving because I'm mad at you."

"Okay. You can leave in the morning then." I mumbled before giving her another kiss.

"I don't-" I kissed her again.

"Let's eat then you can complain about how mean I am." This time I gave her a deep kiss forcing my tongue in her mouth. And just like always she can't resist me. "Baby you got me don't worry your pretty little heart. I'm not going anywhere." I spoke looking her directly in her eyes. I get lost in them every time. "You have me Kara. I'm yours."

Told you this is what you needed. This chapter was all over the place but yet a lot to unpack all in one go. I don't know where to start so I guess we start with the Firetruck in the room... The love rose tulip! That is a blatant sort of ripoff to "Our Love Fern!" If you get that reference you're a legend. Then we have Lena being Lena not knowing how to share her emotions. As frustrated as we all are about that, I get it. She's a October Scorpio just like me and I'm the same way. We'd rather suffer in silence than to show that kind of weakness because secretly we're all softies. But kudos to Kara for dealing with it before she inevitably got fed up with it.. and honestly it was a little.. alarming? No? I dunno but it was a little out of character? Made sure to make sure we got a little bit of Zara in our mix this round. She's our new favorite character now after we learned the tea last chapter. She's really not too bad and so we're gonna explore that. Sorry for the lack of puns this chapter but next chapter I promise I'll be back on my bullshit. Honestly I'm not sure where that's gonna take us but it's going to be a filthy mess and I'm here for it. I find it very cute that the pair sat for a good minute just trying to get Lena to take the medicine. I just thought it'd be cute, Kara trying different ways to trick Lena. I dunno but if you actually found it annoying then you obviously need to seek medical attention. Gotta learn to appreciate the little things that being Kara making it her point to take care of her girlfriend. It all started off strong but I think this ended acceptably. I don't think that is even a word but you get what I mean right? Like the ending is acceptable for this chapter. Anywhore on a totally unrelated note I recently got a white pair of crocs. (If you rolled your eyes at that ur mad weird for not liking crocs.) Anyway I've had them for almost a month now and just a week ago I finally got around to getting jibbitz for them. I was minding my business searching through them all and I found a Wonder Woman one in the hero pile. Great we love Diana. Then I went about digging through the other selections then something said Joz go back to the Hero pile so I did and I found the most perfect jibbit.. apart from my Scorpio symbol one. It was a rainbow, but on the bottom of the right side of it was the Supergirl symbol. Yup I technically have a SupCorp jibbit and I'm obsessed with it and I wanted to brag about that. Kay that's it. That's why I posted today. To tell you about my Supergirl pride jibbit. Wish I could post a pic to show you but you gotta just believe me it's a thing and I have it. I might even glue it to my croc I love it so much. If you have any cool jibbitz yourself let's talk about them because Crocs are pretty lit. ~Joz #fuckitup
