Dinner with Kate. It hadn't been a long time ago that they had dinner together. Back then, Kate had asked her to meet her at a restaurant to tell her something important. Unfortunately, it had never come to this because the owner of the restaurant had felt offended by them holding hands for a second. As if it had meant what he thought it did. Back then, Sophie had been with Tyler and Kate...had told the man what she thought and had caused a little scene. It had been a nightmare to Sophie, who didn't want people look at her, didn't want people to believe, she and Kate were on a date.

Today, she was on her way to a restaurant to have dinner with Kate and this time it was a date. An unofficially date. She was still married, hadn't talked to Tyler and the idea of dating Kate – again – had not let her sleep a lot last night. Were they really going to do this again? Were they about to repeat what had been at Point Rock? They had been so great together, Sophie had felt safe with Kate and had known Kate always had her back. Now, they didn't work in the same team, quite contrary. Sophie's boss wanted Kate aka Batwoman out of town.

Kate was Batwoman. She had not been too surprised, she had suspected it from the moment when Batwoman saved her from the fall. Kate telling her, it hadn't been her didn't convince her. She knew Kate, knew her eyes. And her body reacted to Kate in a way it never had to Tyler. When Kate was around, she was happy, felt complete. Like everything was exactly the way it was supposed to be.

The question was, could she overcome her fear and be with Kate. Really be with her. Out. Or would she hurt her again? And what would Kate's father, Sophie's boss, say about them when he found out, they were a couple? Would he be cool with it? Surely, he would have less problems about this than her own parents.

Not to mention what happened when Commander Kane figured out his own daughter was Batwoman. One daughter terrorized the city as Alice and the other tried to save it by being Batwoman. How did Kate become Batwoman? Did she know Batman? Knew where he lived, worked? How did she get her hands on the suit and who changed it so it fit a woman? There had to be people involved, people, who knew Kate was Batwoman. Who was it? Somebody from the Crows? A cop? GCPD had called Batwoman for help.

So many questions and tonight was not the right time to ask them. Sophie was not going out with Batwoman, she was going out with Kate.

There she was, wearing jeans and a leather jacket. So Kate, casual and whatever she likes. It was not like they were going to a fancy restaurant, yet most other people had dressed up for their date. Sophie herself had thought about wearing something fancy and then she decided to go denim. The same clothes, she had worn when she had kissed Batwoman the first time.

"Hey," Kate smiled.

"Hey. Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I arrived a minute ago."

"Good." A part of her wanted to hug her, kiss her, but they were at a public place and the chances somebody they knew saw them was big. The Crows had their cameras everywhere. "Want to go inside?"

"We should go inside or we won't get dinner and I'm hungry."

"Then let's go." Sophie was not sure if she could eat anything, she was way too nervous. And remembering how their last dinner together worked out made her even more nervous. What if they were asked to leave again? What if Kate stood up for them again? Had Sophie the strength to do the same? Or would she just sit there, quietly, not saying a thing and blaming Kate later for doing the right thing?

Her nightmare became reality when the waiter took them to a table in the middle of the restaurant and not in a quiet corner. She had hoped for some privacy and being out of the eyes of others. This table screamed being in the spotlight, being seen by others. And to make things worse, there were candles on the table, like they were here for a date.

All right, they were here for a date, but nobody was supposed to know about it.
