A week. A week had passed and the people still wouldn't trust Supergirl. Kara had done her best but very soon, her rampage was invisible and replaced by construction teams. After that, she couldn't really do anything beside returning to her usual savings. And let's say Kara wasn't very lucky. Sure Supergirl's help was welcomed when it came to robbers and shooters. But as soon as the criminals were aprehanded, the crowd around her would make it pretty clear that she should go away. As for little things like kittens up a tree, people would actually wait for the firefighters and refuse Supergirl's help, some even stating that they didn't need alien's help.
Kara tried her best and became even more careful when she used her powers in public. Everyone could actually sense the restrains the young woman was putting on herself. But it wasn't working. Or at least it wasn't working the way Kara wanted. And now she was nearly depressed. Returning to work had brought some normalcy to her life but wasn't enough. It was actually frustrating to have such contrast between Kara's life and Supergirl's life.
So the kryptonian felt more than relieved when the week-end had come. Kara had opted for a lazy week-end. The laziest the better. It was almost eleven in the morning and she was still in pajamas, in her bed, eating breakfast. Well, as much as eating a whole box of donuts was considered breakfast. Kara was so bored and lazy that she actually rolled her eyes when she saw Adam knocking at the door. She took her time to answer, which didn't go unnoticed by the young man.
"I really like you with your morning hair. It's cute." he said as he walked past Kara
"Good morning to you too." she groaned, slightly upset. "I didn't know you were supposed to come." the young woman added, pointing at all the mess around her
"I wasn't. It's a surprise." Adam smiled widely, handing her an enveloppe
"What is it?" Kara asked confused
"Plane tickets." he answered, opening his backpack and searching without permission in Kara's clothes
"Adam, these are fake." the kryptonian stated, more and more confused about Adam's behaviour.
He seemed...excited?
"Just look at the destination already." he sigh, finally joining her
"The island of solitude?" Kara wondered, still confused but starting to smile. "What in the world have you comploted?"
"I told you. It's a surprise." Adam grinned before kissing her
"But wait." Kara started, taking a step back. "Why are these plane tickets?"
"Well you can fly."
"So I'm the plane?" Kara asked, a bit upset and earning an excited nod. "I don't know if I should take this as a compliment."
"You'll figure on the way. Go get changed or we'll be late." Adam said, pushing her in the bathroom.
The young man only got the time to close the door and pick up his backpack that Supergirl was already in the living-room.
"You were saying?" Kara smirked, causing Adam to shake his head with a smile. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked after her boyfriend slipped an arm on her shoulder
"Sure! Plus, James told me it's fun."
"You know, if you wanted to fly, you just had to ask me." Kara said, shaking her head
"Just go!" Adam exclaimed, causing Kara to laugh.
The young woman slipped her arm around Adam's waist and shot in the sky.
SSSSSSSSS
"Oh my god." Kara breathed out as they approached the island.
On the beach, litterally everyone was waiting for the two love birds, most of them already wearing swimsuit. James was preparing a barbecue under the supervision of Hank who was making sure not to get too close, Cat and Astra were standing next to them, talking. Carter and Winn were doing sand castles and Alex was scrutening the sky with binoculars. The two lovers landed in front of her. Adam had a big grin on his face and quickly contaminated Alex. Kara just produced the biggest smile she had ever done, observing all around her.
"Guys, this is so... perfect." she said with wet eyes.
By that time, everyone had gathered around her.
"I know right. It's so awesome!" Carter cheered
"Blame this guy." Winn said pointing at Adam, causing Kara to face him
"Thank you." she breathed out before lunching herself in his arms.
The hug only lasted a second and quickly escaladated in a kiss.
"Alright, you're embarrassing everyone." Alex interrupted after a moment, causing them to break apart with a sorry not sorry smile
"I love you all so much." Kara said before Adam handed her his backpack
"Go get change, Supergirl."
SSSSSSSSS
The rest of the afternoon was as perfect as the surprise. After a huge barbecue, all the women plus James and Winn were lying on the sand, enjoying the sun. Hank was in the water just staring at the horizon and Carter and Adam were fooling around further in the island. Kara was smiling. Despite having her eyes closed, she could tell everyone she loved was relaxed. And it made her even more happy. She could even guess by Astra's heartbeat that she was actually asleep.
"Where did you find the boat?" Kara asked Alex, causing her to turn her head so she could face her sister
"It's mine." Cat said from her spot, holding her hand in the air to make her presence more evident
"And you all came here on it?" the young woman asked once more
"Of course." Alex said before turning back her head towards the sun with a sigh
"Come on Keira." Cat started with her usual bored tone. "Do you see a place where we could park one of those giant black ops helicopter? Of course I invited everyone. Well, Adam did."
"That's very nice of you. Thank you." Kara said sincerely.
Cat kept silence and only waved her hand in a dismissal move. Her white one piece and sunglasses added a good amount of nonchalance that made Kara smile. The Queen of all Media was so much more than she was letting transpire.
Kara's smile widened when her hightened senses picked up something. It was a very sneaky move that was about to happen. And on her person no less.
"You make one more step and you will regret it." she grinned without looking back.
Alex sat up in confusion before looking behind them.
"Seriously? She's a kryptonian. Did you really expect to sneak up on her?" the agent smiled, a little exasperated
"I told you that wasn't going to work." Carter said to Adam as the boy put down a bucket full of water
"I just miscalculated." Adam said with a pout, folding his arms.
The two sisters laughed a little before Kara had a bright idea that was more like a revenge for her.
"You know, there's an other kryptonian on this beach that you could prank. And as it turns out...she's asleep right now." she smirked, glancing at her aunt.
Suddenly, Carter and Adam weren't so enthousiatic about pranking someone. Especially if it was an ex general of the kryptonian army.
"You're sure?" Carter asked innocentely.
He was less enthousiatic but that didn't mean he didn't want to do it. Seeing the lying form of Astra was really tempting. He didn't know her very well and wasn't very comfortable with strangers but if she was Kara's family...then she could be as funny and cool as her. Alex was and Carter hadn't talked to her a lot.
"Yeah." Kara smiled widely. "You know, I used to prank her all the time on Krypton."
"Kara..." Alex said as a warning
"Don't worry. It will be fun." the young woman shrugged.
Carter took his bucket and waited for his brother to follow him. But he rolled his eyes when Adam prefered to sit on the sand between his girlfriend and his mother.
"Pff. Chicken." Carter said before walking carefully towards Astra
"Are you sure it's a good idea?" Hank asked from the distance
"I swear if your aunt fries my son, I will find a way to actually kill you." Cat thre atened, now resting on her elbows
"Stop worrying!" Kara shooed. "She's not always scary and intimidating."
"Those are your words." Alex teased, earning a glare and causing Adam to chuckle.
Eventually, after countless careful steps, Carter stopped above Astra's head and glanced towards the rest of the group. They were all looking at him. A lot of them were trying to hide their slight concern. Only Kara was genuinely smiling, giving him two thumbs up. So the boy took his courage, plastered a smile on his face and toppled the bucket on the kryptonian's head. Astra shot straight up and sat, gasping, in the sand. What she did next terrified Carter. Astra stayed relatively still and used her hands to wring her now soaking hair. And then, she turned around with the deadliest glare Carter had ever seen. And knowing his mother, that was something.
"You..." Astra said dangerously.
It took all of her energy not to burst out laughing at the poor boy's expression. He was petrified. But before she could do anything else, something caught her attention. A laugh, a huge laugh. One that she only remembered when she dreamt. Astra stood up and shot a glare at her niece. This time, she couldn't help but grin at the same time.
"You're in so much touble." Alex said, causing Kara to stop laughing.
The others were now smirking at the young woman.
"Uh oh." was all she could say before running away, quickly followed by her aunt.
"It wasn't me!" she shouted as Astra got closer
"Oh yes it was. I know that Carter would never dare to do it alone." the general shot back
Kara shot in the sky, still laughing. She only stopped when she was hovering above the beach were the others were now all standing to better watch the show.
"Behind you!" Carter yelled.
But Kara only got the time to turn back as Astra was already circling her waist with her arms. The kryptonian put all her strength to pull her niece down. And it worked. Soon, the two alien were crashing in the water at an astonishing speed. When Astra surfaced, a little confused, it was only for Kara to push her head under water with a laugh. Finally, the two aliens stopped fooling around and swam back to the beach, big smiles on their face.
"Mom, that was so cool!" Carter said, causing Cat to sit up
"Never do that again." Astra said to Carter, instantly cooling the boy's enthousiam.
But when Kara smiled at him, cleary saying that her aunt was kidding, he immediately relaxed and regained his smile. Cat took off her sunglasses and looked at him. She already knew what he was going to say next.
"Can I play with you and do superstuff?" he asked excited as Kara came closer, earning grins all around him
"If your mom agrees, sure." she smiled
"Well I'm not sure." Cat said quickly. "It looks...dangerous." she tried knowing fully well that she wasn't going to win that battle
"Please?" Carter said with his best puppy face.
Cat only rolled her eyes with a sigh. It was the only confirmation her son needed. Carter jumped closer to Kara.
"What do you want to do, buddy?" she asked, hands on hips
"Fly! Definitely fly!"
"Ok." she chuckled.
The two walked away a little to get more space under Cat's intense surveillance.
"Ok, we're going to do this the fun way." Kara started. "Jump on my back and hang on tightly." she instructed.
Carter did as told and circled his arms around Kara's neck. The young woman put a secure hand on his back before taking off. Not to fast but not slow. It had to be fun. Carter screamed in delight all the way up until Kara stopped and put her body horizontally. Then, she flew slower than before in large circles around the island.
"This is awsome!" Carter shouted, causing Kara to chuckle
"Do you trust me?" she asked
"Totally!"
At that, Kara smiled before shooting upward again and then starting a descent on her back. She turned her body so Carter would rest on her front. But a second later, Kara started to descend faster than Carter, leaving the boy free falling on his own. A flash of fear struck Carter when the realisation hit him but he quickly started to enjoy the moment. The look in Kara's eyes just under him was more than enough to reassure him. Kara had flown high enough to get a fifteen second fall. So after a relatively short moment, the young woman steadied herself and positionned her body next to Carter. The boy could now actually see the ground getting closer. Kara sensed his heartbeat was getting even quicker so she decided to be resonnable and grabbed him from behind. She finished their little adventure by grazing the water before finally touch down. Carter was panting, trying to keep some of his emotions in check. It made Kara suddenly wonder if she hadn't gone a bit to far.
"How was it?" Adam asked
"Thrilling!" Carter answered, sitting next to him. "Although that last part was a little scary." he admitted
"Sorry." Kara smiled
"No, it was fun. Thank you." Carter smiled back
"Alright." Cat started, standing up, visibly just recovering from watching her son free-falling. She would definetely have a conversation with Kara later. "This afternoon was wonderful but I think we had enough emotions for one day." she stated, walking towards the boat with a hand on Carter's shoulder.
Everybody followed and after a few minutes tidying up, they all gathered in front of the yacht.
"Thank you for being here today." Kara started. "Having my family, making barbecue on the beach...It made me feel happy and normal."
Kara then started a round of hugs, keeping Cat for the end. The young woman put her hands on the woman's wrists and looked at her with all the gratefulness and sincerity of the world.
"Miss Grant, I can't thank you enough."
"It's just a boat." Cat shrugged
"Not for me." Kara countered before pulling her in a hug.
She didn't care that they weren't alone. She didn't care that she was her boss. It had been Adam's idea, yes. But if it hadn't been for Miss Grant, this day wouldn't have happened. Even then, Cat had done so much for Kara, not only as her mentor but also as an adviser, a friend, a confident. And eventually, when she pulled out, what she saw in Cat's eyes was nothing but a friend.
After a moment, Kara watched the boat roll away with a small smile.
"So I guess it's just you and me, uh?" Adam said behind her after a while
Kara dropped her head and turned to face him. She closed the distance between them until she could burry her head in the crook of his neck. Adam wrapped his arms around the young woman and tightened their embrace. After a long moment, Kara pulled out but stayed in his arms. Their lips met in a gentle kiss.
"Thank you for doing this for me." Kara wispered against Adam's lips.
The young man only responded by kissing her on the tip of her nose, making Kara laugh and bite her lower lip.
"What you did with Carter was pretty cool, you know." Adam stated with a smile, a hidden request in his statement
"Yeah?" Kara wondered, causing him to nod. "I can do even better."
With that, the young kryptonian secured her hands on Adam's back and flew gently upward. She stopped around a hundred meters above the ground before positionning her body horizontally. Adam was now resting safely on Kara's front and was free of his movements. The young man stared intensely into the blue eyes looking back at him. Then, slowly, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. It was gentle at first; hesitating even. Being so high up wasn't really reassuring to be honest. But when Kara put a hand on Adam's cheek and the other behind his neck, never letting their lips break apart, the young man became more confident and deepened the kiss. Adam let his hands wander on Kara's body only covered by her light blue bikini. And when the kisses and the touches became more adventurous and eager to explore the other's skin; when the arousal and desire grew bigger, when the lust and passion escaladated, Kara had to stop. Softly, she brought them back in a vertical position and landed on the sand.
"I think we should head home." she said, resting her forehead against Adam's.
The couple hadn't been intimate since Kara had been cured. They hadn't been ready. Either because of Kara's guilt of Adam's fear. But now, now it seemed that all of that background had been forgotten in an instant. And so Kara wanted to do this in a familiar environment, in her bedroom, where it had all begun. It could also be seen as a way to get rid of the bad memories and only remember the good ones. And Adam could understand. Actually, he would've asked Kara if she hadn't brought it up. Even if making love in the sky or on a paradisial island seemed like a lot of fun, nothing really compared to the intimacy of a bedroom. Plus, they would have plenty of time to experiment later.
Kara stepped away from Adam just the time to put on her supersuit and hand him his backpack. The minute after, they were flying back to national city to finally become one again.
