A/N: Alright folks this is the end. NOT!!! Had you going there didn't I. I feel bad for taking so long getting this chapter up but I needed to figure out some things about the series. So if you read my profile then you already know that the chapters I had been publishing weren't exactly up to snuff. There have been theme and plot conflicts due to the fact that I was posting rough drafts to keep up with the update demands. This is going change as of right now. I might not get everything up as fast as I would like but you as the reader deserve to read work at my best and not forced prose. So as of this chapter Love and Capes is going to be listed complete. However by tomorrow afternoon (cross your fingers) I will have up the revised version as one whole story. No more dividing up the arc's in separate stories. It just gets too complicated when you look at the timeline. Instead the chapters that pertain to a particular arc will be labelled so that you understand where it fits. Some revision is going to occur so you should really go back and read the whole thing from the beginning. I'm not going to reveal what is getting revised but know that I believe all of my fans are going to find something they really like in this story.

Chapter 6: Memories

Snow had begun to fall over the city of Metropolis. Karen Kent wandered about the campus of Met U looking for the journalism building. Jimmy had invited her to lunch that day and asked her to meet him in the photography lab. Like an idiot Karen had yet to tell him that she wasn't really a student meaning that she had no idea where the journalism building was. She didn't have it in her to crush his hopes. She knew that he had fallen for her in the two months that they had been dating. She didn't want to see him hurt when he realized he was dating a school girl. Clark and Lois had both told her that they wouldn't mention it to Jimmy so long as she told him eventually. She had planned on telling him today, now that school was out for Christmas she planned the whole day around him. Once she had found the journalism building she searched the building for the photo lab. Walking down the hall she found the only room that was occupied and knocked.

The red light above the door blinked out just before the door opened. Karen smiled brightly at the look on Jimmy's face. He looked adorable with the sleeves of his flannel shirt pushed up past his elbows and his hair drooping down over his face.

'Hey beautiful, what brings a doll like you to a place like this.' Jimmy said cracking a large smile.

It was their own personal joke, guys in movies always seemed to get away with talking to girls like that and Karen though it was cute to see Jimmy acting so corny.

'Like whatever.' Karen said using her best valley girl impression. Jimmy just laughed and swept her up in his arms.

'I missed you K. K.' Jimmy said planting a light kiss on her lips.

'Silly boy I just saw you this morning.' Karen couldn't help but get caught up in Jimmy's touch. The two of them had a static pull that was almost tangible. Karen had feared when they started dating that the feeling would diminish over time but she had been wrong. If anything the electricity between them had grown stronger. Karen would sometimes feel like she was dieing if they were separated for more than five hours. Luckily she could fly into the city for lunch every day so that they were never separated for very long. 'I missed you too.'

Jimmy hugged her tight at the words and Karen had to remember to lighten her weight so that he didn't throw his back out.

'Babe I need to talk to you about something.' Jimmy said after putting her down. The couple walked out into the snow. The quad was empty as most students had gone home for the holidays. Jimmy led her by the hand to the middle of the green which was now covered in snow. Looking into her eyes Jimmy threw her his trademark grin.

Karen noticed a strange intensity in his eyes that she had never seen before. Jimmy got down on one knee and took her hands in his. Karen's heart melted as she remembered the significance of the gesture in earth culture.

'Karen I know we have only been dating for a two months but I think we're ready for the next step.' As he said the words Karen searched his yes looking for some clue as to what he meant. 'I want us to move in together.' Karen wasn't sure how to react and before she could react she let out a small "huh". Jimmy's eyes scrunched together at the sound. 'I know you still live with your parents and it might take some convincing for them to accept it. I just want you to know that I love you.'

Karen's eyes welled up with tears. In two months he had never said that he loved her. Karen bent down and hugged him. It wasn't a hard hug but a hug with all of the gentleness and compassion she could muster.

No sooner had they broken the hug than Karen heard a soft voice in her ear. Karen I need you down at city hall in two seconds. Karen cringed at the sound of Clarks voice. He had thought that she needed more responsibility in Metropolis so he had started sending her small messages on a verbal frequency she always kept open. She could almost hear the sadness in his voice when he said I'm sorry. Karen looked down at Jimmy fresh tears falling down her face. 'I need to go. We'll talk later.' She said before squeezing his hand and running off at a human pace until she had reached the safety of a building. She took off into the air unable to stop the rush of tears as she flew away.

The cold air felt good on her skin as she whipped through the air. How could she have not seen the signs? What was she going to do now? The next fifteen minutes freed up her mind from thoughts of Jimmy. A group of Intergang thugs had broken into the first national bank. Stopping them had not been easy. They had gotten their hands on a high impact weapon that nearly knocked the wind out of her when the energy beam made contact. Kara had just dispatched three of the thugs when she heard the sound of a shutter behind her. The sound was unmistakable, Jimmy was behind her. Hopefully he wouldn't recognize her. Once the goons were bagged she flew off carefully to not let Jimmy see her face. She kicked her self mentally for letting him see her without her wig and glasses on. Making a quick change in direction she ran up behind Jimmy in full disguise.

'Jimmy there you are I was looking everywhere for you.' She said trying to sound casual.

'Karen!' He exclaimed wrapping his arms around her. 'I thought for sure you were through with me.'

'No Jimmy I'm not through with you at all.' She replied returning the hug. 'I wanted to let you know that I really am going to think about what you said.'

'That's great babe.' He said taking a step back, his trademark grin already back in place. 'I have to get these shots of Supergirl to copy. I'll call you later ok.'

Karen nodded her head as he kissed her good-bye. Maybe things were going to work out after all. Hurrying home Kara changed out of her disguise and came down stairs in time for dinner.

Lois and Clark meet her with smiles as she sat down. Kara liked the fact that they were both here so that she could explain everything to them. She waited for a few minutes before saying anything. 'I have some news.' She said wiping her mouth with her napkin.

'This wouldn't have anything to do with Jimmy's big news right?' Lois remarked peeking at Karen from her sushi.

'How did you guys know about that?' Karen asked dumbfounded.

'He told me that he was going to ask you to move in with him.' Clark said setting his chopsticks down and leaning back in his chair. 'I have been giving this a lot of thought Kara.' He said looking over to Lois for support. She smiled at him and nodded her head before he continued. 'I know that I'm your cousin and not your real father so telling you that I disapprove won't do anything but cause you to resent me. After I talked to your mother about it we both agreed that college would be a much better place for you intellectually. Moving in with Jimmy though may be a problem. I trust Jimmy don't get me wrong but I'm a little old fashioned. I just think that if you were going to move in with him you should get a third roommate preferably another girl.'

Karen couldn't believe her ears. They were going along with this and she didn't need to fight for it. 'Thanks guys.' She got up and hugged the both of them. 'This means a lot to me.' She sat back down and ate her sushi quietly for a second but she frowned as a thought came over her. 'How am I going to find a roommate?'

'I have an idea on that front.' Clark said smiling. 'You remember meeting Diana's sister Donna at Bruce's wedding right.'

'Yeah Diana said something about her just getting over a break up with her boyfriend Kyle.' Kara said recalling the event.

'Yes well she told me that she is having a hard time living in New York now that they aren't engaged anymore.' Clark said popping the last piece of blowfish sushi in his mouth. 'I told her that I would try to find a place for her here in Metropolis.'

'Thanks Kal.' Kara said with a smile before running up the stairs to her bedroom to call Kim.

A few days later Lois and Kara were fighting downtown traffic trying to get to the apartment building near Met U. Bruce Wayne had planted information into the Kansas state records setting up a new alias for Kara. She had been accepted to Met U for the spring semester giving her a few weeks before she had to show up for classes.

As the two Kent women walked into the apartment building a middle aged man greeted them, 'You two must be here for the Kent place.' He said looking down at his clipboard. 'The name on the ownership papers is Danvers.'

'That's me.' Kara said handing him her new id. 'Linda Danvers, it's nice to meet you.'

'Likewise miss Danvers.' He said handing her a set of keys. 'There is a guy upstairs waiting for you, says he's your roommate.'

'Must be Jimmy' Kara said taking back her id and the keys. The apartment Clark had gotten her was on the top floor of the five storied building. Once the two women reached the top Kara noticed that the stairs ended at a small landing with a single door. Guessing that the apartment was the buildings loft she shoved her key in the door and opened it. Both of them were surprised by what they found beyond the door. The apartment looked like a blend between a loft and a penthouse. Three of the walls had large windows stretched across with a garden outside. The forth wall was brick with the two bedrooms behind it.

'I thought I recognized this building I just never went up those stairs before.' Lois said a distant look on her face.

'You've been here before mom.' Kara asked with a confused look on her face.

'Yeah this was the place your father had when he went to Met U.' She said sitting one of Kara's bags on a couch in the living area that was set a little bit lower than the rest of the room. 'When he came to work at the planet all those years ago he was still living here. I have a lot of great memories of your father that took place in this apartment.' A tear steamed down her face as she remembered the first time she had seen Clark in the apartment.

'Hey Lois' Jimmy said coming out of one of the bedrooms. 'This place is great isn't it? I can remember when Clark first invited me over here back when I was just a copy boy.'

'Yeah I remember the last time we both came here to.' She said as another tear stained her cheek,

'Yeah but hey he came back from that trip to India or wherever he went just like I told you he would' Jimmy said a smile still plastered on his face.

'I can't believe dad gave me this place.' Kara said taking in the feel of the room. It was almost like the place gave off a vibe that screamed Clark Kent. She was going to like living here, she felt like home.
