A/N: Sorry this took so long to post. I've had a lot going on. But hope you enjoy!

Each second her pulse decreased, I became stronger. I'm sorry Lena. "What have you done?" Gaston yelled as I exited the container. "You just killed her!"

"I did." Seconds later, a D.E.O. chopper flew down with a handful of agents. Quickly, they hoisted the container into the air and flew the lifeless brunette away. "Now that Lena's out of the way, I can take care of you without worry."

Gaston paled with each step I took. "Y-you planned this."

"Of course I did. It was this, or I kill you. With Lena gone, there's nothing holding me back from what I need to do."

"You won't kill me. You're too good." His voice faltered.

"You just made me kill the woman I love. Everyone has a snapping point. And you just found mine." Rushing him, I nailed Gaston in the nose with my elbow. Each time he tried to fight back, I avoided his attack.

"Now Supergirl! Put the device on him now! Do not give into that urge! Lena will be fine!" Before I let myself give into the anger that started to take hold, I did as Alex ordered. Once the device was in place, I pressed the release button and an electric shock coursed through his body. "Get back to base. We'll handle him." Agents swarmed the docks and took Gaston into custody.

Entering the medical area, Alex met me outside Lena's room. "She'll be okay, Kara. The poison you shot her with never stopped her heart so the oxygen wasn't cut off to her brain. Since we trained with low levels of kryptonite, your body built up strength to that level."

"You dropped her heartrate just enough to bring the level she admitted to that?" All my sister did was nod. "You're brilliant." I paused looking through the window. "How will we get the kryptonite out of her?"

"The same way we got the red kryptonite out of you. Winn made some changes to the device and we'll be using that once her vitals are in a safe range. After that, we'll have to clean her blood by defusing it."

I winced. "That sounds painful. Can I see her?"

"It is but I think she would do anything to be with you. At least this way, she'll be asleep for most of it." Alex paused, "You'll be weakened by the kryptonite."

"It'll be worth it." Pain overwhelmed me the closer I got to Lena's bed. Pulling a chair closer, I took a seat before I collapsed. "I'm sorry, Lena. Once you're better, we'll get out of National City for a while. Just the two of us." Taking Lena's hand, I kissed her knuckles before everything went black.

"How long has she been here?" Is that Lena's voice? Ugh, my head is pounding.

"She's not left in three days. The only time she's left your side is to shower and change."

A soft chuckle escaped the brunette's throat. "So in Supergirl time, that's five minutes per day?" It is her voice. "She stayed here even though she knew it would hurt her?" Gently, Lena caressed my hair.

"Mhm. Stubborn this one. Especially when she loves you." Alex had a smile in her voice.

"Lena?" My voice was weak.

"Hey," There was a shift on the bed. "Are you awake?" I didn't have the strength to answer. All I could do was nod. "The kryptonite?"

"I'm surprised she's conscious. The amount that's in your system right now would have Superman in a coma."

"You need to get her out of here." Lena tried to shake me awake. "Kara, you're hurting yourself. Please….,"

"I'm not leaving you…," I squeezed Lena's hand.

"But Kara…,"

"I said, no."

Alex laughed softly. "Okay, I'm going to leave the two of you alone to fight over this. But we start your treatment in about ten minutes."

Once she was gone, Lena scooted over in the bed. "Can you move up here or will that be too much?"

"I can try." Thankfully, I was able to. Snuggling into Lena, I felt at peace. "So you know now…,"

"Kara, I've known for a while. I just played along." I chuckled. "Where will we go once I'm better?" Wrapping her arms around me, Lena nuzzled my hair. "Thank you for saving me."

"Of course. I'm sorry you got put in the middle of this."

"Don't. You. Dare. Kara Danvers, if you break up with me to try and keep me safe, I will never forgive you." Even if Lena was weak, her C.E.O. business woman tone scared me more than any villain could.

"To be honest, I'm not strong enough to do that."

"Good." Alex returned and Hank helped me up. "I'll be fine, Kara." Lena smiled but I could tell she was terrified.

As I watched through the window, green smoke was emitted from the fragile brunette. She's in pain. Before I could react, Winn placed a hand on my shoulder. "Kara, she'll be okay. She's a fighter. Just like you. It took guts to do what you did."

"It was the only way to get her out of there." Resting my forehead on the glass, I sighed. "I hate seeing her in pain."

"She won't be for much longer. And once we start the thing that is basically dialysis, you can be with her." He chuckled softly but paled when I glared back at him. "Not…her in pain funny. The fact that last year you told me you weren't gay and…well…,"

"Shut up, Winn." I tried to be serious but laughed. "The irony kills me."

Finally, Alex was finished. "You can go in now. The levels of kryptonite should be lower now. You won't pass out. But the levels are a little stronger than what you're used to."

"Thank you, Alex."

Entering Lena's room, I smiled. "Hey."

"Hey." A weak smile graced the brunette's lips. "Are you okay to be in here?"

"Yeah, the levels are low enough."

"Good." Scooting over, Lena patted the bed. "Join me?"

"No place I'd rather be." Snuggling into the brunette, I melted into her embrace. "I love you."

"I love you too." Kissing my hair, Lena sighed. "We'll have to finish that dinner at some point.

"Yeah, we will. Although, maybe we can just eat inside so there's no chance you get kidnaped?"

Chuckling, Lena agreed. "I'll be a little trigger shy about being in an open space."

"I'm sorry. This is my fault."

"Stop apologizing. No it's not. And I don't want to hear it."

"Even when you're in a hospital with poison in your system the C.E.O. never leaves." I listened to Lena's heartbeat. It was relaxing.

"Well of course." Soon Lena fell asleep but when I tried to move, her grip tightened. "No."

It took nearly two weeks for the kryptonite and poison to fully be out of Lena's system. After everything was up to par at L-Corp, Jess scheduled Lena and I a trip out of the city. It was only a four day weekend at a spa but it was out of town. "Can we not leave the resort? There's a pool, hot tub, sauna, and plenty more just in the hotel." Placing the luggage by the dresser, Lena stretched out on the king-sized bed.

"Whatever you want to do." Crawling up beside the brunette, I wrapped my arm around her waist. "I'm glad I get you to myself for the next four days."

"You preach to the choir." Rolling over, Lena straddled my hips and pinned my hands by my head. "I get my amazingly beautiful, sexy reporter all to myself." Dipping her head, Lena captured my lips with hers. I sighed as she worked her way down my neck. "Too bad I can't leave a mark on you. I should have when I had the chance." The seductiveness of Lena's voice caused me to shiver.

"We'll figure something out. You have always liked to claim what's yours." I smiled into a deep kiss. "But I think that will have to wait." I paused, "Three, two, one…,"

A light knock caused the brunette to lean back. "I will never get used to that."

"No one ever does." I stayed lying on the bed while Lena went to check the door.

"Oh, I didn't order this."

"I did!" I hope this turned out well.

"In that case, thank you."

"You're welcome, ma'am."

Hearing Lena roll the cart into the bedroom, I sat up. "You're not the only one who planned this little getaway."

"For someone who can't keep secrets, you kept this under wraps pretty well."

"I told Jess I wanted to do something special for you. So, really I had no idea what was going to happen." I paused, "Wanna see a cool party trick?"

Lena paused, picking up the champagne. "Does this involve Supergirl?" She smiled nervously. "Sure…" Focusing, I popped the cork like I always did at Thanksgiving. An amused chuckle escaped the brunette's throat. "That's an interesting trick, Kara Danvers."

A shiver coursed down my spine as Lena's voice lowered into a seductive tone. "Y-yeah…" Taking the offered glass, I waited for Lena to pour hers. "A toast?"

"To us; a Luthor and a Super changing history." Clicking our glasses, we took the first sip from the others glass.

"You know, that's only normally done at weddings." I spoke before thinking as always.

"Is that a proposal?" Lena's brow rose and a teasing smile graced her lips.

"What?" My face burnt. "N-no." I fiddled with the empty flout. Not yet anyway…

"Kara," Taking a seat, Lena wrapped her arms around me. "Calm down. I'm teasing." Tucking hair behind my ear, she kissed my temple. "Let's finish this very expensive champagne, cuddle in bed, watch Netflix, and eventually sleep." Pausing, Lena smirked. "Yes, we can order food."

I couldn't help but laugh. "You know me so well."

"I'm jealous. Unlike humans, you can eat whatever you wish and won't gain an ounce. I eat one piece of chocolate and have to work out." Pulling me into a kiss, Lena straddled me again. "Although, if I get to cover you in whipped cream," she paused to run her tongue up my throat. "I will gladly swim a few extra laps around the pool." I tried not to squirm. "If you say you're more excited about the whipped cream than seeing me wet in a bikini, I'm leaving you." A whimper escaped my throat at the thought. "That's what I thought."

The next few days were pure bliss. It was our last night at the resort and Lena had reserved the entire hot tub/pool area for us. Soft jazz music played as we soaked in the steaming water. "This is amazing." The jets felt wonderful on my back. Turning my head, I couldn't take my eyes off the brunette. Candle light danced on the woman's pale skin. She's so beautiful. It's unnatural. How was I so lucky as to be the one she wanted?

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. With everything that's happened, I'm glad we were able to get away from it all for a while and just spend some time together." Taking my hand in hers, Lena pulled me closer. "Sadly, we have to go back tomorrow."

"Don't remind me." Cupping Lena's cheek, I placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Her heartrate increased more than it normally does when we kiss. Pulling back, I let my forehead rest against hers. "What's wrong?"

"I know it's a little sudden, but, move in with me?"

My heart raced. Alex's words came to mind: Don't be afraid, Kara. If you really love her, do what feels right. "Yes." Lena smiled into the kiss. "I will gladly move in with you."

"Good. I'll make you a key when we get back." Deepening the kiss, Lena let her hands roam under the bubbly surface. I gasped when I felt daft fingers between my thighs. "Is this alright?" Pushing my hips forward, I tried to stiffen a moan against the brunette's neck. A slow rhythm began as I let my hands do a little roaming of their own. "Kara…," Lena's voice was breathless before she claimed my lips in a searing kiss.

Feeling the familiar coil start to tighten in the pit of my stomach, I quickened the pace. This will be better than I could ever imagine. I'm actually with her and not just imagining her late at night in my bed. "Lena…," I whimpered as she curled her fingers. Every muscle in me tightened and finally released when Lena nibbled my earlobe. Collapsing into strong arms, I tried slowing my heart rate.

Wiping damp hair away from my face, Lena kissed me. "You're beautiful."

Resting my head on Lena's shoulder, I sighed contently. "Let's go back to the room. I need a shower and I'm hoping you'll join me."

"Conserving water? How ecofriendly of you."

"So you're actually going to move in with her?" Alex fell into the couch after grabbing a slice of pizza.

"Mhm. She asked me last night. And besides, my lease is up next month anyway. Its perfect timing."

"It is. I'm happy for you." Laughing, Alex propped her feet up. "I'm sure if you would have told our parents that we'd both be dating women, they wouldn't have believed it."

"And here we are; you with Maggie and me with Lena." Taking a bite of pizza, I mimicked my sister. "I've never been happier, Alex. When I'm with Lena I feel…,"

"Whole? Like no matter what's going on in your life, no matter how hellish it is, everything is at peace when you see her?"

"Exactly."

"We're hopeless. When are you telling the boys? I mean, we all know you're pretty much dating, but, moving in with her is a big step."

"Movie night I guess. I mean, Thanksgiving is so far away."

Alex laughed until beer came out of her nose. "I hate you."

"Alright, what's up? You're acting all giddy and stuff." Winn asked as he took a seat on the floor. "And it doesn't help that Lena's here. I'm not saying that you being here is bad. It's just, there's something different."

"I have to agree with him. I mean, Alex and Maggie must know what's up. They're not curious at all." James eyed us.

Biting my lip, I took the brunette's hand in mine. "I'm moving in with Lena." No one said a word. "What?"

Winn shrugged. "Nothing. We just thought…I mean from how you were acting…I thought you were getting married." Smiling, he continued. "I'm happy for you guys."

"Congrats guys." James held up his drink. "If I had to lose Kara so someone, I'm glad it was you Lena."

"I appreciate that, James."

"Okay, now that the not so earthshattering information has been shared, can we start the movie?" Alex wrapped an arm around Maggie. Lena stiffened slightly. She's not used to Alex being a smart mouth yet. "I'm joking, Lena."

As the night went on, we laughed, ate, and some of us jumped at certain parts of the last movie. By two, all of us were about to fall asleep. Alex and Maggie took my guest bedroom, Winn and James took the couches, and Lena and I took my room. Saying our goodnights, we all went our separate ways. "I'm glad they took the news well." Lena stretched out on my bed.

"Me too." Crawling up beside the brunette, I snuggled into her. "I think it's funny that no one was surprised."

"Mhm." Wrapping her arms around me, Lena pulled the covers over us. "They're a good group of people. I hope soon I can call them friends."

"You can do that already." Resting my head on her chest, I listened to Lena's heart. "They consider you a friend."

"Really?" All I did was nod. "I finally have a family that cares about me." Hearing how happy Lena was brought tears to my eyes.

I'm so glad she's finally happy. "We do."
