The first thing that greeted Cat when she answered the door was one Lena Luthor with tear stained cheeks and puffy, red eyes. She was standing next to Kelly who smiled apologetically at the blonde. The agent couldn't phantom what the problem was. Has someone died? Was someone arrested… again? When she couldn't recall having heard of anything that could trouble the youngest Luthor she asked the source herself. She did not expect the answer.
„She left me."
„What? Who? Lena what are you talking about? Who left you?"
„Kar-" she was cut off by another sob as fresh waves of tears streamed down her face. „She pack-packed her stuff together a-a-and left our- the house."
„Lena would you calm down, for fuck's sake. She didn't leave you!" Kelly was frustrated. Lena was crying for about two days now not having stopped since Kara walked away. She had enough.
„Yes, she did! Our- The house feels so empty withouth her and her stuff. I miss falling over her shoes at the doorway, I miss her singing when I cook, I miss hearing her laugh and I miss seeing her smile. I miss her!" the thoughts brought fort a wave of sadness and the actress couldn't stop the tears.
„Oh my god. You dramatic idiot! She didn't leave you! She left-" Lena cut in before Cat could say anything else.
„See? Even you admit it. She left me."
„As I was saying. She didn't leave you. She went on a world tour. How come you didn't know about this? I thought you spoke about everything regarding the band?" asked the agent from Lena, who by now managed to stop crying at least.
„I knew! I still miss her! She'll be touring for 8 months, Cat! 8 months! And then another 6 in America. It's been two days and I'm dying without her. What am I gonna do?"
After the whole fiasco with James the band was left without a guitarist as Kara couldn't always play while singing especially when, on the few occasion she had to play on the piano, so they held auditions. The band invited Kelly, Winn, Brainy and Lena to judge with them seeing as they would spend almost as much time with the new member as the three girls would.
The first to audition was Mike who was okay, not good or great just okay. He wasn't really what they were looking for with his lack of talent. The thing that decided for them was how he tried to constatnly flirt with Kara even after she made it clear that she was not interested. Then came a Mxyptlk named man. He wasn't very good either and nobody could pronounce his name. The third to try was William who was better than the first two and James combined but they just couldn't fit him in the group. There were two others but they weren't good enough to get invited to a practice.
After the poor outcome of the auditions the band almost lost all hope for finding someone when Lena remembered her long time friend, Andrea Rojas, who was talented and driven and recently disbanded. She gave her a call and the brunette readily agreed to an audition. Needless to say she was exactly what Argo needed and she clicked with everybody in the tight-knit group.
After Andrea's introduction James was jealous and nursing a bruised ego so he wrote a post on social media about how the band treated him very badly from the moment Lena appeared, asking his fans to stop following Argo and instead focus on his new band called The Guardian. He wrote about Lena's love for him and Kara's jealousy (the complete opposite of the events). Cat for her part couldn't swallow what he did to the actress and asked the building management for the films from the gym's camera. She then leaked it to one of her reporter friends. The man was lucky enough Lena didn't press charges. The brunette thought it was punishment enough that his band couldn't even stay together long enough to record a debut song. Since then he fell off the radar even his sister didn't know anything about him. Argo, on the other hand seemd to blow up overnight. More fans, more success, more recognition. It wasn't just Lena Luthor's girlfriend anymore, it was Lena Luthor and Kara Danvers from Argo. Seems like Karma's a bitch.
It was a year and a half after the 'James-incident'. Lena and Kara have been together for 2 years and 2 months, living in a house just outside the city with a big garden for Krypto to run around and Alex and Kelly just 20 minutes away.
„What the rest of us do. Wait and go on with your life as best as you can." Kelly spoke quietly having learned her lesson dating Alex for nearly 3 years and having married her just a little over a year ago.
„That's just pure torture. I don't have anything to do!" complained the actress. Suddenly she whipped her head up and stared at her agent. „Cat? Could you look into some upcoming movies for me? Pretty please? Just to get my mind off of her."
„What do I get if I find you something?" bargained the blonde.
„I'll stop complaining about missing Kara?"
„Good enough for now. Let's start. Kelly you're helping me."

„Cat. I have been working like crazy for the past three months to get my mind off Kara. I want a few days or even weeks off. I'm not in the mood to film outside the States."
„Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think I asked you. You can rest there while also doing your thing."
„Cat. Cat! CAT!" yelled the actress at the blonde when she didn't look up from her phone.
„What?"
„I'm tired. I don't want to go." whined the brunette.
„Sorry, can't stop it now. Besides Kelly will go with you. You like her, no?" she didn't even wait for her response before continuing. „Perfect, your plane is scheduled to 5 pm. Which means you should arrive around 1 pm."
„Ugh, you are impossible."
„Yes, yes I am. Now go and pack your things."
„I don't even know what to pack and for how long. You wouldn't give me any details."
„I would say to pack clothes for whatever weather and as for how long is up to you. It could be for a day or a week or even 5 months." smirked the blonde agent knowingly.
„That does not help me." said the confused actress.
„It will. Now shoo. I have things to do as do you."

„Welcome to-"
„Hey, Lena! We're here!"
„- the weather is lovely and sunny. Enjoy your time in -"
„Lena? Did you hear? Lovely and sunny. I couldn't ask for better."
„Did you really have to do that? I'm gonna find out where we are as soon as we're off this plane."
„No you won't."
„What do you mean, Kelly?" Lena was understandably wary.
„Turn around and close your eyes. I'm gonna blindfold you." answered the older woman with a smile.
„Oh come on. What is so important I can't know where we are?" complained the brunette as she did as asked.
„You'll see in time. Now turn back around so I can lead you out."

They were in the cab for about 40 minutes when they came to a stop. Lena didn't hear the sound of the city. She wasn't even sure which country she was in and that unsettled her. Kelly grabbed her hand and led her somewhere. She could feel the sun on her skin and the wind tickling her. Her hand touched overgrown flowers and grass. What the hell? She was just about to ask what was happening when Kelly stopped them and turned her around.
„I'm gonna remove the blindfold. Keep your eyes closed for a bit so you don't hurt them, okay?"
„Yeah, sure. Are you gonne tell me what's up?" asked the actress as she felt Kelly loosen the cloth.
„No, but you'll find out soon."
She heard some rustling but didn't think much of it. She counted the seconds in her head and when she deemed enough time passed (about 2 minutes), she opened her eyes.
What she saw was endless fields of flowers and grass arching to the sky. Some tree here and there but other than that nothing. It was beautiful. The wildflowers flowed with each other, fitting together like Legos. She turned around to search for Kelly but the sight in front of her brought tears to her eyes.
There in the middle of the field about 2 feet from Lena knelt the love of her life with a ring held out in front of her, toward the actress. Then she did the unthinkable: she asked the brunette to marry her in (a little broken) Irish.
Lena could not controll her emotions. Kara remembered what she told her about her childhood and the story of a field much like this being her mother's favourite. She was sobbing while trying to say yes as much as she could. Of course she wanted to marry her. In the end she chocked out a yes loud enough for Kara to hear. The blonde's smile widened and she stood up and hugged Lena to her letting her calm down. When she put the ring on she couldn't help the kiss she left on the finger.
„I love you so much, Lena. I'll always love you."
„I love you too. I didn't think loving someone this much was possible until you came into my life. I love you."
„God, you two are sappy as hell!" their moment was interrupted by Alex's voice cutting through the air.
„Babe, let them be. Do you want me to remind you what you were like after I said yes?" that shut up the older Danvers. „We're happy for you guys."
„Yeah, welcome to the family officially, Lena." Alex pulled her sister and her sister's now finacé into a hug. „Now you just have to tell mom. She wil be delighted. I think she loves Lena more than me."
„Yes, call Eliza and also Cat. She had to pull a lot and I mean a lot of stings to get this done."
„Okay, okay. After that we can brainstorm how to break it to the fans."
„Oh, I got the whole thing on video." smirked Alex. „From the moment you brought the ring to Lena saying yes."
„Perfect. Now, dear fiancé of mine, what would you like to do?" asked Kara as she turned to Lena.
„Why don't we inform your mother of our engagement, then celebrate it with our friends?"
„Good thinking, future wife."
