The next morning Kara wakes with a smile as she looks down at the brunette in her arms. She just sits there as the sun rises and watches as it bathes Lena's body in the shifting light. It is around 8:30 when Lena awakens and Kara feels the way Lena stretches like a cat in the morning sun until she sees the clock. Then all of a sudden Lena tenses. Instinctively Kara begins to run her fingers down Lena's spine, Lena seemingly melting into Kara's embrace in moments.
They lay like that until a loud banging sounds from the window startling the pair. Kara turns and sees a paparazzo hanging on a cable suspended from the roof, camera in hand as he tries to take photos of the pair. Kara is two seconds away from using her heat vision to cut the man`s ropes when Alex appears hanging from a rappelling line attached to a DEO helicopter quickly grabbing the man and cuffing him watching as his undoubtedly extremely expensive camera drops 40 floors to the pavement below. The man looks on in shock at his smashed camera. Alex, however, grabs him and attaches him to her role taking his watching as the DEO helicopter flies off into the distance towards an undisclosed location.
A few minutes later there is a knock at the door, looking with her X-ray vision Kara sees Alex and a team of agents carrying tools and equipment. Quickly they pull on clothes and make their way to the door
"set it up through there." Alex says pointing toward the lounge area
"Uhh... Alex, what's going on here?" Asks Kara while Lena cranes her neck to look at the equipment the techs are carrying. Kara almost laughs at the way her loves nerd side is shining through.
But she doesn't get the chance before Alex is answering "well, since you two are together now, congratulations by the way. The DEO decided you would need a few protections here, I think that this morning proves that"
"With all due respect Agent Danvers…" Lena begins
"Ms Luthor, don't get me wrong, I'm glad you and Kara are figuring out whatever this is between you, but even if she is Supergirl Kara is my little sister…" the and I won't have her naked body splashed across the internet goes unsaid but everyone still hears it.
Lena nods "if it will make things better for Kara."
"Good, I knew you'd understand, and by the way, keep that up, and we won't have any problems. But hurt my sister, and there is more than one person that can throw you into space."
"Alex!" Kara gasps scandalised
Lena just gives a small smile as she says "understood agent."
"Call me Alex, now why don't I show you what we're installing in your home."
The next few hours were spent reinforcing and outfitting Lena's penthouse with all sorts of new technology from windows that could stop a shell from a naval cannon to reinforced walls and floors of the same type of material as Kara's pod, to a direct link to the DEO and in an emergency Kara's AI. Most surprising was the sun room, formerly the second bedroom as soon as Alex told Lena how often Kara was injured then needed to stay at the DEO to heal Lena told her to put a in bed here. And just silently on the side, she had some of the techs install some of the red sun lamps in her bedroom.
Kara was puzzled at first, she couldn't figure out why Lena would want all this here. Sure they slept together, and sure Kara loved spending time with Lena, but they lived on different sides of town.
Lena had different ideas. As soon as she was sure the penthouse was safe, she took out the key she had cut and offered it to Kara.
They had practically been living together since the offer that Lena made, especially with all the tests that Kara had taken. Most evenings she just wanted to relax, and for her, there was nothing better than curling up beside Lena on the couch.
As for Lena if there was one thing that watching those you cared for die time and again did it was giving perspective. Lena had seen the way the world stole those you loved away in the blink of an eye. And Kara, she would not let that happen to Kara. Maybe that was why she had spent 3 days casting protection runes over Kara's super suits. All she knows is that when you truly love someone like she does Kara, there is no such thing as too soon.
It barely takes a moment for Kara to say yes
