Kara hears a knock at her door and nervously looks around the kitchen making sure everything is perfect. Smoothing her shirt she walks to the door. Tonight is the first time Carter and Cat will visit her apartment. They are also meeting Alex and she is extremely nervous about this meeting.
When she opens the door she is greeted with the sight of Cat holding a bottle of wine and Carter holding a bouquet of flowers. Carter jumps onto Kara wrapping his arms around her waist tightly.
"Hi Kara! I missed you." The young boy exclaims pressing his head into her stomach. Kara looks from the little boy to his mother who is smiling sweetly. The younger blonde runs her fingers through the boys hair.
"I missed you to little man." Kara says softly and Carter pulls away from her. He hands her the flowers and she smiles softly at him.
"These are beautiful! thank you so much, but you didn't have to bring me anything." Kara says and the boy frowns.
"Mom says its rude to show up at someones house empty handed." His face is scrunched up and Kara chuckles.
"Does she now? Well your mom is my girlfriend and your her son so you can show up whenever you want however you want. Now why don't you take these flowers and walk down the hallway to the kitchen. I also have an Xbox set up in the livingm if you want to play." Kara says and the little boys eyes light up excitedly.
"Okay! Awesome!"
"And off he goes." Cat says laughing as they watch the boy disappear down the hallway. Kara turns back to Cat and extends her hand. Cat takes it and steps into the hallway smiling.
"Thank you for coming." KAra says leanign down to kiss her cheek softly. Cat rests her hand on Kara's cheek turning her head to kiss her softly on the lips.
"You better not have bought that X-box just for Carter." Cat says pulling away and lookign up at her girlfriend who looks very quilty.
"Kaara you are spoiling him." Cat groans and Kara bites her lip.
"But he's such a good kid and i don't have anything for kids here. I just want him to feel comfortable being here." Kara says and Cat sighs
"I cant be mad when you keep being so sweet to us."
"You guys make it easy. Now come on lets go check on dinner." Kara says tugging Cat down the hallway like an excited child.
Kara shows Cat around the kitchen beforee giving the Grants a tour of the whole apartment. Carter got bored and went back to his video game after runnign through all of the rooms in thirty seconds. Kara takes her boss on a slower tour around the spacious living space.
"Kara there's someone at the door." Carter yells before they hear the sound of his shoes running to the door. Kara tenses and Cat instantly feels it, she turns the younger woman to her.
"Dont worry darling, everything will be fine. I will be nice to your sister and dinner with be great. Come on" Cat says tugging at Kara's hand. Kara doesn't move and Cat frowns turning around to see the hero biting her lip nervously. Cat rolls her eyes and stands on her toes kissing the young blond.
"come on."
"-… Hi I'm Carter! You must be Alex, Kara's sister." They hear Carter talking animatedly down the hall.
Cat pulls Kara out of the bedroom and into the living room. Alex looks up from the young boy and her gaze lands on Cat. Kara holds her breath unwillign to release it until she knows its safe. Alex stands a little straighter and walks over to Cat extending her hand.
"Hello, I'm Alex Danvers, Kara's sister. You must be the imfamous Cat Grant." She says and Cat takes her hand shaking it.
"You have heard of me?" Cat asks with joking coyness.
"Only good things of course." Alex says smiling, Kara lets her breath out still watching the two. Alex's face might say friendly but Kara knows better. Her older sister is still on her guard with the older woman.
"Hey Kara, I brought Ice-cream for desert." Alex says steppign forward and wrappign her little sister in a hug.
"Relax" The older Danvers whispers in her younger sister's ear. Kara nods sighing as Alex pulls away.
"Alex do you know how to play Grand Theft Auto?" Carter asks showing her the game. Alex laughs and follows him over to the couch. Cat adn Kara watch the two for a moment before walkgin into the kitchen.
"See sweetheart, everything is fine. You have nothgin to worry about." Cat says pecking her girlfriends cheek.
"Now lets get the table set for your wonderful dinner." Cat begins setting the table and pouring drinks while Kara watches her dumbly for a moment. She cant believe that this is her life, she gets to have an amazing older sister, a beautiful girlfriend and a handsome little boy to share life with.
"Okay guys time to eat." Kara calls into the living room making Alex and Carter jump up and run into the dinnignroom.
"Ahh yes! Lasagna!" Carter exclaims looking at the pasta on his plate.
"Kara makes the most amazing lasagna that i've ever tasted." Alex says taking a bite of her food and moaning.
"Yup you've still got it kid." The older sister tells the hero. Kara blushes slightly and takes a bite of her own food.
Everyone takes turns complimenting Kara's lasagna. They spend several minutes in silence just eating before Carter breaks the silence.
"So where do you work Alex?" The curious little boy asks
"I work for the government." Alex says
"Like an FBI agent?" Carter asks excitedly
"Something like that kiddo." The older Danvers replys with a chuckle.
"Can you show me your badge and gun sometime?" He asks Cat jumps in.
"Carter back off Alex a little baby."
"Its okay Cat he's just enxcited. We will see, okay?" Alex asks him and he nods vigorously. Cat mouths a thank you to Alex who nods with a smile.
"So how much older than Kara are you Alex?" Cat asks trying to make conversation.
"Five years, she's the baby." Alex says and Kara kicks her shin under the table glaring at her.
"She hates it when i call her that." Alex smirks at her younger sister.
"Aleex i'm an adult." Kara whines and Cat watches the exchange with a smile.
"Yes but you will always be my baby sister. Besides you only dont like it because its what mom always called you in front of your friends." Alex retorts and Kara crosses her arms leaning back in her seat pouting.
Later that night Alex announces that its time for her to head home. She says goodbye to the grants, first to Carter who hugs her and asks if he will see her again. Alex tells him that he will since she has to show him her badge and gun. Cat and Alex shake hands and Kara walks her to the door.
"She seems like a good one kid, don't fuck it up." Alex says and Kara looks offended.
"Why would it be me that messes it up?" She exclaims and Alex hugs her close before pulling away.
"Your the alien sweetheart." She winks and Kara pouts before shoving her out into the hallway.
"Good night Alex, i love you." The younger danvers says to her older protecter who smiles at her.
"I love you to Kar." Alex walks down the hallway and Kara closes the door to the apartment turning back to the Grants in her house. When she enters the living room again Cat and Carter are sitting on the couch playing his game.
"Kara come show mom that trick you showed me the other day!" Carter exclaims jumping up and pulling Kara to the couch while still playing the game. Kara plops down next to Cat on the leather couch and takes the controller.
"Are you shure your ready to lose little man?" she asks and he rolls his eyes
"Bring it Kara." He exclaims and Kara laughs while Cat watches the two get along playfully.
As the two play the game they get more rowdy and excited until Carter is sitting on the ottoman on his knees and Kara is practically on Cat who is laughing amused.
"You won again! No fair Kara how do you do that?" he yells looking over his shoulder at her.
"Magic" She says with a chuckle and he sighs.
"Okay Carter its time we got home. You still have homework to do and i have to get ready for tomorrow." cat tells her son who sighs sadly.
"Yes ma'am, i'm going to use the restroom before we leave." He says leaving the room and leaving the two adults alone.
"Thank you for coming." Kara says sliding off of Cat and sitting next to her. Cat smiles brightly and takes Kara's hand.
"Nonsense, thank you for cooking. I had no idea you could cook like that. I might have you fix my lunches from now on." Cat says with a smirk
"I would love to." Kara replies looking at Cat in a way that can only be described as Heart Eyes. Cat leans over and places a kiss on her lips sweetly.
"See you in the morning?"
"As if you could keep me away." Kara retorts before leaning in to kiss her again.
"We have to go." Cat mumbles pulling back from Kara. The younger woman nods before leaning in again.
"Go on, Carter has school tomorrow." Kara says pulling away and standing. She takes Cat's hands and pulls her up.
"Ready to go mom." Carter announces coming back into the room. Cat sighs and reluctantly pulls away from her young hero.
"Okay come on, lets get going." She says dropping Kara's hand. Carter steps into Kara and wraps his arms around her waist.
"Thank you for dinner."
"No thanks necessary sweet boy. Thank you for playing x-box with me." Kara says and running her hand through his hair. He pulls away and pulls her down to his level. He leans into her ear and whispers.
"Thank you for making my mom happy again."
They separate and Kara has littlee tears in her eyes. She nods at him unable to speak, Cat looks at them worriedly but Kara waves her off. They walk to the door and Kara tells them goodnight.
That night two women go to sleep happier than they can ever remember.
