It's Supposed to be a Date

Chapter 6 : The day's coming to a close, and I don't want to go

After they left the aquarium and entering the late afternoon traffic, all those of the driving age in tiny blue car were once again quietly appreciative of the swift maneuvering size of the car and the skill of the driver that allowed them to be in and out of the traffic so quickly.

"Kara, can I see the pictures you took?" Carter asked, leaning forward in his seat as far as the seat belt allowed.

"Sure," came the reply from the front and a few minutes later the blonde twisted in her seat and handed over Alex's camera over the seat to the boy, an orange tentacle of the octopus rested on her wrist. Kara carefully manipulated the stuffed toy to seem as if it was holding the camera with her.

Carter received it with a grin and carefully looked through each photograph, there were plenty of Kara's and him. Quite a few of them were with his mother as well, but there were only a few of Alex's. Mostly because she was the one holding the camera.

"This is really nice, can I have a copy?" He held up the camera so that the small screen in the back could be seen.

The blonde turned back to look at which photo the youngest Grant was talking about. "Yeah, I'll make you a copy." Kara also made a mental note to make extra copy for herself as well. Although, she had decided that all the photos were to be printed out anyway. Maybe double of the ones with Alex.

Maybe she could get James to print out in the larger size for her, but on the other hand, maybe she wouldn't. He's been a little weird lately and she didn't really want to deal with him. And she could just imagine what kind of acrobat his face would go through if he had to make print of the photo with her and Alex together.

The photo was the one they took at the walkway, all of them were in the picture, which included Alex, it was as if they were under the water, with fishes in the picture as well as the coral framing them.

"It is nice, right mom?" He turned to ask his mother, hand still holding out the camera for Kara to see.

"Yes, honey." Cat agreed with a smile. "The fishes are very nice." Cat nudged her son playfully.

"Mom…" The youngest Grant rolled his eye.

"Well, you looked very nice in the picture, too."

Kara giggled, she liked this side of her boss, she had never thought that she would ever get to see it. Although no one at CatCo would believe her if she told them.

In the meantime they were arriving at their destination. Kara didn't really know what kind of training Alex got as a D.E.O agent she assumed that there was probably some sort of evasive driving included as well. It would explain so much about the agent's driving skills. She was so good at weaving in and out of traffic and she didn't remember Alex's driving being this good before.

Maybe she could ask J'onn for some training. Then she could persuade Alex to get a N-Box Slash.

Yes, that sounds like a plan.

Alex maneuvered the tiny car out of the traffic and into the small parking space that happened to be vacated minutes before. Tiny car was convenient, and she knew that Kara would bring it up later, but personally she needed something bigger than this for her everyday commute.

"Here we are." Kara announced with childish glee, almost nothing made her happier than food, almost. "You're gonna love it, I promise." She turned in her seat to tell Carter, and turned back, ready to open the door and jump out.

Alex had to quickly grabbed her little Kryptonian to prevent her from jumping out of the car before she could cut the engine. "Hold up." She said lightly as she pushed the button to cut the engine. Kara gave her a sheepish smile. "Sorry."

Cat Grant rolled her eyes, regardless of her suspicious, she still couldn't imagine how someone could still be wanting to eat after all that food, much less be eager for more. Luckily, she, herself, only ate her normal amount, so even though this was still a little early for dinner, she wasn't opposed to it. And Carter seemed excited at the thought of pizza, it wasn't something she'd like him to have on regular basis, so this could be count as a treat for him. This entire day was probably a treat for him.

"Ok," Alex murmured as she reached for the handle of her door. "And leave Mr. Octopus in the car, please."

Kara pouted at her but complied anyway, she arranged it so that the orange octopus had one of his tentacles draped over the gear shift and Kara was out of the car and bouncing on the balls of her feet, barely able to wait for the rest of them to exit the vehicle.

As soon as the engine stopped and front passenger door open, Alex took her seat belt off and exited the car herself. Minutes later they were ushered inside by the younger Danvers.

"Oh, Miss Kara!" Several voices greeted them as soon as they entered the establishment. From the outside, there wasn't much to see of the place, the inside wasn't much better, but it looked clean. And busy.

"Hi." Her assistant waved her hand, then gave her a potent smile. A few of the staffs quickly approached them and led them to the more discreet table in one of the corners.

"Can I get you some drinks first?" A very friendly waitress asked, handing them the menus. "The usual?" She turned to the two Danvers with a big smile. They were here so often that the staff knew their orders by now. Alex nodded and ordered a few things for them to start off, she didn't need to look at the menu. They were exactly what Kara wanted as she practically wiggling in her chair.

Garlic bread came quickly after, following shortly by the rest of the orders. Carter looked at it all with shiny eyes, he didn't even pick anything out, trusting that anything Kara ordered would be good. She did say that it was her favorite place to eat after all.

"Here often?" Cat questioned as she carefully picked up a piece of garlic bread, and took a dainty bite. Not bad.

"We mostly ordered out." Kara replied, then taking a large bite out of her potato skin, cheeks puffing out. "They are usually very very busy, I think we just beat the dinner rush."

"Good thing, too," Alex took a piece of bread herself, tearing it into smaller piece. "We wouldn't get a table-" Kara ducked her head and darted in to take that piece of bread from her hand. "-otherwise. Kara…" She sighed. The only time Kara wouldn't try to take the first bite of her food would be when they were having dinner with her mom, only because the scolding would be had all around. At her little alien for table manner, and at Alex for letting her.

The blonde leaned back in her seat, looking very satisfied with herself.

Carter giggled at their antic, Cat only smiled.

Minutes later after they got all their food people started pouring in, and within minutes there were barely any table empty.

"Goodness, Keira." Cat Grant exclaimed when all the food were delivered to their table. There was barely any space left for them to put their own plates down. The portions were ridiculously large. "Do they have a standing order to make the largest size possible when you come in?"

"No, Ms. Grant." The blonde shook her head as she made a grab for the largest and cheesiest piece of pizza, "of course not."

Alex had to hide her grin behind her piece of pizza, after she made a gesture for Carter to pick his before grabbing her own.

"Watching you two eat is certainly a trip." Cat muttered as she took her own, trying to be as dainty as she possibly could be while using her hands. Her salad laid forgotten on the side. Carter was giggling, he rarely ever seen his mom touching food with her hands like this. His mom was a mild germaphobe, he knew that. He sometimes wanted to touch everything before his mom could, just to see her reactions.

Only days before he didn't even know Alex, and he was sure his mom didn't either, but now it was like they were friends. He didn't even know if his mom had any friend. He didn't remember her ever mentioning anyone except that Lois Lane, but he didn't think they could be called friends. Adult's interaction confused him a lot of time.

Like right now, his mom was needling Alex for more information, on what her work was, still nothing. Alex's answers seemed simple enough, but he could see that his mom wasn't really satisfied, he didn't know why that was. He guessed that this was why his mom was such a good journalist, she was always looking for answers, for explanation, for information. He admired that about her.

Kara tried not to roll her eyes, Ms. Grant was still trying. She had half a mind to tell her that Alex would never give her anymore information than what she already had, Alex was always such a tight lip, even without all her training. And there was a lot of training, she had never realized how much training her favorite human went through until she got the chance to talk to Vasquez and a few other agents.

She was so proud of her.

Alex had always been stubborn and tenacious, so until she decided to, Ms. Grant wasn't going to get anything else out of her. Now she wondered if the whole slipped up that day was what it was, or was there something else. Maybe Alex did want Cat to know their relation, or just generally wanted to test the water.

Now, that just made her feel dizzy.

So she stuffed another piece of garlic bread into her mouth and chewed.

The mother and son pair was beyond full with dinner as they tried to fold themselves into surprisingly roomy seat at the back of the N-Box Slash.

The dinner had been - like the entire day- surprisingly good. Cat Grant could not find any fault in any of their food. The pizza was authentic, she didn't think she could get any better pizza in Italy. Not long after the car pulled out, her son fell asleep.

"He's out." Kara looked over her shoulder to her boss with little orange head peeking over her shoulder.

"He held out longer than I thought he would." Cat said with a smile, her eyes all for her son. "I don't think he had this kind of day ever." Her eyes turned to meet the sky blue ones of her assistant. "All thanks to the both of you." She could see a pair of hazel eyes looking at her from the rear view mirror, and she smiled.

"You're welcome, Ms. Grant." Sunny Danvers replied. "He's a great kid."

"Yes, he is."

Kara wanted to ask if Cat Grant enjoyed her day as well, but decided that it would just be too forward, and her boss might not appreciate that.

"I wish his dad would spend more time with him instead of flaunting around with a girl half his age." Cat murmured, she wasn't sure if she wanted to tell the two Danvers, but her voice was low enough that, they could pretend not to hear her, or she could pretend that she didn't say anything at all.

A look from Sunny Danvers told her that the younger blonde heard every word, she could see sympathy in those bright eyes as well.

Alex spent most of dinner just listen to Kara, it was mostly Kara and Carter talking about everything, and she enjoy seeing her little alien happy. She only contribute to whatever they were asking, mostly about the fishes and other sea creatures. And she thanked whoever- probably J'onn- who took care of whatever trouble happened on this day, so they had a free day without interruption, a rather rare thing these days. Alex made mental note to buy him a big pack of Choco later when she restock her own stash of Kryptonian's snack.

She wondered how they were going to explain to Cat Grant if Kara, or herself was called out on D.E.O business, or Supergirl's ones. She supposed it was probably going to be awkward, but not entirely too impossible to make excuse for.

It was still early this time of the night, the traffic was still heavy since people were still out, getting dinner, finding early night entertainment and whatnot. But there was no problem at all for the tiny vehicle.

Silent blanketed the interior of the tiny blue car, only the sound was of radio playing on low volume. They all were winding down from the day's activities, and full bellies. All except their resident Kryptonian, whom could still going for another full days, and ate another large pizza.

Kara rested her chin on her palm with the bulbous orange head of Mr. Octopus pressed against her cheek, head turned slightly to look at Alex's profile, and the way the lights of the city cast multi-colors glow on her face. Alex really was beautiful.

Alex was quiet through dinner, but she knew that it was mostly because the older Danvers wanted to let herself wind down a little. Right now, though she just wanted to wrap her up, held her tight and kissed her senseless.

In no time at all, despite the still busy traffic, they arrived at Cat Grant's place. The tiny blue car pulled into a stop smoothly right in front of the entrance. Cat nudged her son awake gently.

"Carter, honey, wake up."

"Mom?" The boy blurry eyes opened, it took him a moment longer to realize where he was.

"Come on." Cat unbuckled her belt and got out. She went around the vehicle to find Sunny Danvers was already there, helping her son out of the car.

A half asleep Carter turned to Kara as she walked them to the front entrance where a doorman held the door open for the two Grants.

"Good night Ms. Grant." She smiled, "good night Carter."

The boy threw both his arms around her and gave her a firm hug.

"Good night Kara, I had a great time. Thank you."

"You're welcome, buddy." She hugged him back. He pulled away from her after a minute and waved back at Alex, who was standing by the car, she waved back.

"I'll see you Monday," Cat gave her a nod. "Thank you for today."

"You're welcome, Ms. Grant. See you Monday."

She turned and went back to the car where the brunette waited till she got in. Dark head gave a small, almost imperceptible tilt at the media mogul before disappearing inside the car.

Cat watched till they drove off, her son leaning sleepily against her.

The brunette dropped the keys into the bowl by the door as soon as the door close, and she found herself being pressed against the door, with a very happy Kryptonian holding her up and kissing her. She was startled for only a moment before dropping the backpack, bags of their souvenirs, and her own jacket on the floor and wrapped both her arms around Kara's neck. Fingers tangled in long blonde hair.

"I've been waiting to do this all day." Kara murmured against her mouth as she pressed for another kiss, and another, and another. She carefully carry her precious human away from the door and headed toward the bed, bumping against her couch and table on the way. Kara paid no mind to anything else, but she could feel Alex laughing everytime she nudged some furniture out of the way.

"Careful, you don't wanna break anything." The brunette teased as she was being tossed onto the mattress. "We've just replaced that."

Kara pouted, but leaned down to untie the laces of cherry red boots, their joined purchase right after they started dating. She was even more careful in pulling them off of Alex's feet, smiling when the otter socks came into view. "If only the D.E.O could see your socks now."

Alex rolled her eyes, and wriggled her toes. Kara liked her fuzzy socks and cute little woodland creatures, it was not to say that she didn't think they were cute, it was just that she went through her socks rather quickly in comparison to most, and with her work boots, she needed thicker, and more durable socks than the little otters could offer.

"You're killing the mood here, Supergirl." The older Danvers teased as she lifted up her hips so that the blonde could pull down her jeans. Supergirl pouted, but didn't stop her ministration, within minutes she diverse Alex of all of her clothes, even the little otters were tossed aside in the pile without a thought.

Alex backed herself up so that she was in half seating position against the headboard completely naked, the Kryptonian crawled after her on her hands and knees, still mostly dress.

Kara gave her a salacious grin, and leaned down to press kisses against tight abs, nibbling her way upward. She draped herself over the Alex's half seated body, finally kissing her way toward her lips.

"Too much clothes," Alex muttered between kisses, and trying to undress her little alien at the same time. She grunted with frustration when she couldn't push Kara away enough to pull the shirt off of her.

Kara laughed, and backed away. Within a blink of an eye she was completely naked and leaping back onto the bed, minding her own strength when she landed and careful not to hurt Alex in anyway.

She wished she could let loose and fully relax with Alex.

And as she deepened her kiss, tasting mint from their after dinner breath mints and something else sweet and uniquely Alex. Then a strong hand reached down and touched her where she was most sensitive.. Oh.

Maybe Alex could come up with something. But later.

A lot later.

Hours later, finally a sated Kryptonian and human curled up together in the middle of a rumpled bed. Kara pillowed her head on Alex's bare chest, and listened to the still rapid beats of her heart, knowing that she was the one making it that way. Deciding that even if Alex couldn't do anything about controlling her strength she was entirely more than satisfied by the look of bliss on her beautiful face alone.

It would've been the perfect way to end their day, until hey eyes caught a purpling mark on Alex's waist, and frowned. She forgot herself for a few moments, and hurt Alex.

"It doesn't hurt." A soft assurance came, and Kara allowed long fingers of one strong hand to laced with her own.

"I should be more careful." Watery blue eyes looked up. "I should…"

"Baby, it's ok. You forgot yourself." The older girl nudged her nose with the back of her knuckle. "I actually think of it as a compliment."

"But I could hurt you if I-"

"Really let go?"

"Yeah," Kara bit her lip, she didn't want to give voice to what she was afraid of, that she could completely forgot herself and really hurt her Alex. Her most important person in the whole universe. She would never be able to live with herself if she accidentally hurt her while in the throes of passion.

"I have some ideas," Alex said, after a moment. "We could do something like Kryptonite emitter."

"Like the training room?"

"Yes, but smaller."

Their eyes met, and Alex gave her a crooked smile. "I know you're afraid of hurting me, but I don't think you will."

Kara didn't know where Alex got that confident, when she, herself, didn't have much of it.

"I do, however, want you to experience everything you made me feel."

Bright, bright blue eyes turned up at her in wonder. Not for the first time she wanted to know if Alex could read mind, because there were times, like right now, that the older girl just knew what to say. And she couldn't really imagine feeling any better than what Alex had already made her feel. "I love you."

"I love you, too." A grin, "silly alien."

"Alex?"

The older girl looked up from her laptop to see her little alien walking toward her with one hand rubbing her eye. She was not quite awake yet as she came around the kitchen island and draped herself over the brunette's back, face tucked into the nap of her neck.

"Hey baby, I got your breakfast already." Alex reached back to gave the blonde head a few pats.

"You're the best."

"I know."

"Best girlfriend ever," Kara nuzzled her neck.

"I know." The brunette grinned, patting the blonde's head gently. Kara continued to drape over her back. "Not awake yet, huh."

"Nope."

"Your breakfast's gonna get cold."

Her little Kryptonian whined into her neck and reluctantly let go. If anyone could look into the apartment right now they would've seen a half awake Supergirl in her pajama top floating- with her bare feet skimming the hardwood floor- to the nearby stool and tucked into her breakfast. Alex looked on with an adoring smile.

"What are you working on?" Kara, finally fully awake, asked once she swallowed a mouth full of the last of her waffles. She'd been watching Alex typing on her D.E.O issued laptop for a while now. It was Sunday, and usually Sunday reserved for their time, even before the change in their relationship, and her work laptop usually remained in her bag.

"Just running some calculation."

"For work?" Sometimes she would get the vague idea of what Alex was working on. When she first came out as Supergirl, and learned of D.E.O she'd thought that all of the agent's work revolved around her, her physiology, her power, but now she knew better. Alex could be working on plethora of things at any given moment, some of them were about her, but there were many other things that she had no idea her Alex could do. Kara was so proud of her.

"Not really," Alex typed in another command then she closed the lid. Looking up to meet her little alien's eyes, she smiled. "Just some ideas I had."

Blonde head nodded.

"So, what do you wanna do today?" Alex reached for her almost empty cup of cold coffee, but before her hand touched the cup, Kara - with super speed - got there first with a blur, she handed the older girl a fresh cup of steaming hot coffee. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." The Kryptonian grinned back then took a sip of her ice cold milk. "Can we just hang out today?"

"Sure," the brunette nodded in agreement. "But we have to do some grocery shopping, so maybe we could do that first?" Since the both of them mostly eat takeouts, which was the source of many many lectures from Eliza, Alex had been trying to cook more often, thus the grocery shopping. Also she needed to replenish her Kryptonian's snack cabinet.

It was a good thing that D.E.O paid her very well, otherwise they would be out of house and home by the way of Kara's appetite.

"We need to get J'onn some Choco, too." Kara piped up after she finished all her breakfast.

"Yes we do." Alex slided down from her perch, brushing the crumbs from her own breakfast from her hands and started to pick up when Kara stopped her.

"Go get ready, I'll clean up." Then she used super speed to clean everything up then was back grinning like a kid, already dressed and waited for a praise. To which the brunette gave a small huff of laughter and kissed her.

The Kryptonian fluttered in the air a little before she ushered her beloved human into the bedroom so that she could get ready and they could get going.

"Ok," Alex stepped out in her jeans grey long sleeved knitted top. Kara spotted little orange foxes on her feet and smiled in delight. For all that she grumbled about the cutesie socks, Alex still wore them when she could. She watched the older girl slipping her boots on when she picked out one of Alex's jacket and waited impatiently by the door.

She handed the jacket to Alex as they left the apartment. Kara reached for her hand and Alex took it, door closing behind them.

She could already envisioned the rest of their Sunday, after the shopping, they would just hang out, cuddled on the couch and watched movie. Then they would make dinner, or attempted to make dinner, which might end up being them ordering in, more of their Netflix queues would get watched and then they would go to bed together.

Perfect weekend.

a/n : It is done for now, thank you everyone for coming along on this trip with Alex and Kara, thank you so much. I have the idea of the next one, and some of it written down, so I'm looking forward to that. It should be fun!

Also I have a few bonus scenes that I may or may not add later.
