(Y/n) fell back onto the couch flying around the city hadn't really helped very much, only now she felt like a complete fool.
A note caught her attention on the table in front of her she leaned forward and picked it up recognizing Lena's handwriting straight away.
(Y/n),
Bruce and I are staying the night at a hotel, so you can't perv over him in the morning.
"Total bitch what the hell I didn't perv over him, it was more like his butt was in my face and I couldn't avoid seeing it." She gasped shaking the note around in the air as she did so.
So now you have the apartment to yourself for x-rated activities with Alex, just don't tell me about them okay.
Love,
Lena.
(Y/n) sighed falling backward and leaning her head against the back of the sofa, sighing as she did so.
Yep, pretty sure I'm not gonna be doing that with her tonight.
She cursed her own stupidity, why couldn't she be normal and get over it, why couldn't she forget about Maggie and move on, she wanted to, but she was always there like a demon sitting in the shadows ready to burst forward and strike.
Her cell phone rang.
"Hi, Dad." She smiled though it never reached her eyes.
" (Y/n) tomorrow night Cat wants you to come to dinner. " He sounded so tired, so haunted (Y/n) wanted to say no, to deny the invitation and throw it in Cat Grant's face, but she couldn't do it, not when her father was working so hard and maybe he just wanted to be with his family.
(Y/n) sucked up her discomfort and instead. "Okay, Dad I'll be there."
" Good girl, I miss you. "
"I miss you too Dad."
" I gotta go baby girl, but you be careful okay, don't go out alone, don't open your apartment door unless you know who it is, don't...
His advice was useless when you held Kryptonian powers, (Y/n) felt thankful for that, although her father and the police department had issued warning after warning still the women of the city thought themselves invisible, it was scary when she knew her father believed there would be an eighth, it was just a matter of time.
"I know Daddy don't worry."
" I do worry sweety, I'm always going to worry about you, I worried when you were five and we lost you at the mall, I worried when you and Lena snuck out to that party at sixteen and baby girl I'm gonna worry until the day I take my last breath in this world. "
"Daddy you know I hate talking about that." Her childhood had been spent with worrying dreams of her mother's death, living a life without her, then when she had fled that was transferred to her father and had never left, it was that same fear that made her so fiercely protective of Lena.
"You just worry about behaving tomorrow, I'm too exhausted for drama okay." He pleaded.
" Okay. "
"Sleep well, sweety."
She put the cell phone down on the table cursing her own bad luck, dinner with Cat.
"Excellent just what I wanted. "
Knock, knock.
"If you've come to kidnap me I gotta warn you my cousin is a super badass and the other is a scientific genius, she'll give you a viral disease through Whatsapp." She laughed walking towards the door.
She pulled it open her eyes wide with shock.
"Alex!"
" Can I come in? "
"Yes, of course, come in." She moved out of the way so that the woman could come in.
Alex stood nervously in front of her, she had been so sure of what to say but now faced with ( Y/n) all her words and confidence was gone, thrown out into the midnight air.
"I think we should talk about what happened."
(Y/n) paled. "I really don't want to talk about that now Alex, I know you think I'm so immature, such a fool but it's how I feel."
" I don't think you are any of those things, I began to think I would feel the same as you, (Y/n) the bed is gone already. " She shrugged.
"Excuse me?"
" Yep, gone, I got Kara to move it. "
"You got rid of your whole bed because I couldn't...."
" (Y/n) sure I wanted to have sex with you but this is more important than that I want you to be comfortable when we are together, everywhere we are together. " Alex said seriously her eyes connecting with the chef's (e/c) eyes.
"I can't believe you did this." ( Y/n) said in stunned disbelief.
"I told you (Y/n) I will prove to you what you mean to me, I love you and if that means using my influence with Supergirl to move my bed and incinerate it then I will do it."
" Wait, what the hell, you incinerated it! "
Alex nodded her head proudly. "Yes, Kara set that thing on fire."
" Oh my God. "
"Then she put the fire out, that woman is like a dual personality pyromaniac and a fireman trapped in the same body."
"I can't believe you did this."
" Is it good? I mean I thought I was doing good tell me you are happy. " Suddenly she wasn't feeling so confident with her actions.
(Y/n) felt the tears fill in her eyes, Alex feared she'd done the wrong thing the moment she saw the tears appear.
"(Y/n) I'm so sorry I tho.. "
She didn't give her time to finish she launched herself towards her throwing her arms around her, catching her by surprise she tumbled backward and fell hard onto the floor.
"Are you so angry at me you attacked me?" Alex asked feeling winded from the fall, ( Y/n) still perched firmly on top of her.
"Nope so happy I couldn't show you." She smiled brightly kissing her hard pulling away before Alex could enjoy it.
"So being squashed by a heavy Kryptonian is a good thing?"
" It is for you. " She smiled, it was the first time she'd mentioned her origin, usually Alex avoided it as much as possible.
"I will agree if I can get another kiss, a real one this time."
" Hmm, you did make yourself bedless for me. "
"Is that even a word?"
" Who cares. " She shrugged meeting her lips to Alex's again smiling still as she deepened the kiss, pulling her closer even though she still had no feeling in her butt.
"Wait!" ( Y/n) shot her head up in alarm. "Where will you sleep now?"
" Sofa. " Alex shrugged trying to pull her head back down to continue the kiss but the chef wouldn't be moved.
"No way, you can stay with me Lena is at a hotel with her beefcake."
" Beefcake. " Alex questioned cautiously.
"Bruce Wayne." She shrugged.
" Kara has his picture on the dartboard at the DEO. " Alex laughed settling her hands on the other woman's behind, gently soothing her fingers up and down taking in the firmness of her muscular butt.
"If Kara never says anything to Lena then it is her own damn fault, someone is going to see her for how amazing she is and snap her up, Kara only has herself to blame."
"I guess, but you are biased she is your friend."
"Yeah, my friend." (Y/n) was hit with the information she was keeping from Alex, she'd slipped up with Kara but she couldn't tell Alex without talking to Lena about it, it wasn't her secret to tell.
"There is something else isn't there?" Alex asked wearily looking up at her.
" Yeah. "
"You slept with her!"
(Y/n)'s eyes shot open wide, looking down at Alex with a suddenness Alex wasn't prepared for. "There are so many things wrong with that statement I don't know where to begin, but first I want to say again for the fifteenth millionth time I have never had sex with Lena Luthor." Which is bloody good considering we're related, that would be just too gross. " Secondly when we were apart I slept with one person, you know who that is. "
Alex felt envy and jealousy mix together in her stomach, suddenly she didn't want to keep laying where she was, she pushed (Y/n) off her and pulled herself to her feet.
"What's wrong I was comfortable there."
" I hate thinking of you and her okay, it doesn't help that at every available moment she taunts me with it, she genuinely believes that she can win you back and I hate it. " Alex said her face and voice full of misery.
She closed the distance between them taking her head between her palm and lifting her head up to look at her. "Yet you are the one with me now, you are the one I spend hours with on the phone when we can't be together, you are the one I dream about every night...some pretty steamy dreams too I might add." She winked happily. " You are the one Alex for everything, if you weren't I wouldn't have given us a second chance, I never give them you should know that. "
Alex smiled into her touch seeing the soft truth blazing from her (e/c) eyes. "You're the one for me too."
" So why would she win me back? "
"She can't."
" Exactly. "
"But for the record I still hate her."
(Y/n) laughed at the cute pout that had overtaken her face, she couldn't resist it, she pulled her close and held her tight, her cheek settled on her shoulder she smiled when she felt Alex's arms circle around her in return.

Alex burrowed her head further into her neck, tightening her hold around the woman she held, in her darkest days she had feared this would never happen again, she would never again hold (Y/n) while they slept.
She had hoped she would suggest sleeping with her but she hadn't brought it up, afraid she would look at her like some strange insane creature and point towards the sofa, happily for Alex (Y/n) had never suggested the sofa once, she had her mind set on sharing a bed.
"Are you sniffing me?" A muffled voice asked.
Alex smiled into her neck. "Yep, you are my favorite smell."
"That isn't weird at all."
"Shut up and let me enjoy this."
"You do realize that this isn't going to be the last time we're in a bed together right?"(Y/n) smiled lifting the hand that was placed just below her breast and kissing it sweetly.
"Who knows when we will get to do this again." Alex sighed.
"I am helping you shop for new bed tomorrow."
"You hoping to put on a public show are you?" Alex asked wickedly.
"You wish, tomorrow is going to be a really weird day bed shopping in the day and family dinner at night."
"Don't worry I'll be there for you when you get back, I was thinking maybe we could go away somewhere for a weekend just you and me get a hotel."
"You know National City has become quite addicted to Superwoman now." She chuckled.
"Yeah but I am addicted to (Y/n) so I win right?"
"Yes, you win every time."
"Good." Alex smiled, relaxing into the warm body that lay next to her, comforted by the fact that there would be another time, there would be many more.
With those thoughts, she drifted off to sleep.
