"I missed you so much." (Y/n) said into the darkness, her voice laced with a raw pain she hadn't let go of until this moment when she and Alex were alone together, Alex pulled her closer (Y/n) eagerly burrowed her head onto her shoulder.
"It's over now." Alex soothed sitting her chin on her head to revel in her warming affection.
Kara and Lena had left a few hours ago leaving (y/n) and Alex with the washing up, luckily another thing Superspeed was a blessing for.
"I thought you hated me." ( Y/n)'s voice cracked with emotion.
"I've never hated you, I love you, I was just afraid."
Her girlfriend lifted her head to meet her gaze. "I love you too you never have to be afraid of me, I'll always want you."
A slow smirk passed across Alex's face. "Oh yeah, how much do you want me?"
(Y/n) narrowed her eyes. "Why?"
Alex wiggled her eyebrows a dangerous smile on her face. "You do owe me for the whole kissing Sara thing."
"I am paying you back, I'm babysitting you tonight."
(Y/n) felt the pinch, Alex having super strength was not a good thing anymore. "You just pinched my butt!" She accused.
" I know. "
(Y/n) cast her (e/c) eyes at her sending a silent challenge. "Well, maybe I feel you owe me for the Maggie thing."
" Oh no way, you can't compare our things. " Alex protested pulling her fully on top of her.
"We can and I will." ( Y/n) challenged her eyes glued to lips that still stretched out into a smile, she gave out a soft moan as Alex's fingers kneaded into the muscle of her buttocks.
"You were saying."
" Need I remind you who rescued you. "
Alex smiled again lifting her head up to join her lips to (Y/n)'s letting her mouth open slightly, the feel of her lover's breath lightly touch her lips inflamed her to deepen the kiss pulling her flush against her, fingers pressed hard against her behind they left their mark.
"I'm sure it was Kara," Alex whispered finally moving away slightly.
" I should get a reward for finding the clues that led us to you. " (Y/n) whispered harshly hovering inches above her lips her eyes trailing the whole length of them deciding where to feast on next, before diving in hard their lips meeting in an impassioned heated frenzy, her hands now dug into the pillow above Alex's head using them for balance as she moved her hips seductively.
Trailing her lips down her chin and across to her ear (Y/n) let her tongue play with the lobe of her ear, softly biting down occasionally, whispering gentle words of affection and love into her shell-like ear.
Their eyes met, heated electricity flowed between them as understanding and desire grew. "I love you." ( Y/n) whispered with a soft smile, before resuming her place to trail open-mouthed kisses down her neck.
Alex pushed away the stray tear that threatened to ruin everything, but being here like this with the woman she loved was the most magical feeling in the world, she never wanted it to end.
The chef lifted her gaze again locking onto the tear, her eyes full of understanding she moved up and kissed away the tear that runs down her cheek.

Being the spoon in an Alex hug was basically the best position she'd ever been placed in, (Y/n) thought as she smiled half asleep Alex's head pressed firmly into her neck her hair tickled her neck, the soft sound of her sleep noises gently entered her ear.
She didn't know how she would cope tomorrow when it was Kara's turn to stay with her, she shook her head to dislodge the negative thought.
She was here now and there would be plenty of other times when she would be here, sighing she closed her eyes trying to embrace sleep again.
Her cell phone rang.
Her eyes shot open reaching for her cell phone.
"Dad."
"Hey Baby girl."
"Dad, what's wrong?" Worry began to intrude upon her perfect peace.
" Nothing, I'm just calling to talk with my daughter. "
(Y/n) glanced at the time. "But it's 1:30 AM."
" I know, I just couldn't sleep. "
"Oh." ( Y/n) frowned "Isn't Cat there?"
" No, she is back in D.C. "
(Y/n) felt the good news dance around her ear before settling and sending her body into a euphoric aftermath.
"What awful news Dad, the place just isn't the same without her.....sparky personality."
" Don't start (Y/n), anyway she wants to have another family dinner Adam is coming this time, errr....we want Alex to come with you too. " The man stammered.
"Okay who is Adam and why must we inflict this terror on us again so soon after the last disaster?"
" Adam is Cat's son. "
"OMG, she procreated another poor creature." ( Y/n) said in mock horror.
"Enough (Y/n)."
"Just saying what everyone is thinking, you want Alex to come, and will you be a dick like last time to her, if so I'm not asking her." She rubbed her hand along her arm needing to touch her to make sure she knew she was there.
" I was being protective of you, I think recent events have changed my aggressive stance on the subject, though she is still on thin ice. " The man warned lightly, the guilt he had felt over Alex's disappearance had cooled his anger to the woman, he'd prayed for a second chance and he wasn't going to give anyone cause to tell him he hadn't taken it.
"Well if you promise to be a normal human being and Cat promises not to act like her usual self then we would be delighted to come, I think." Was she ever going to be delighted to spent time with Cat Grant? probably not.
He sighed loudly, he was still recovering emotionally from the case, what was making it worse was the whole thing had to be covered so for him the culprit was never found, it wasn't sitting well with him and (Y/n) was feeling guilty about keeping it from him.
"Just promise to be nonconfrontational (Y/n) and everything will be fine, I'll leave you alone now sweetie okay, goodnight."
"Night Daddy."

Lena kept her inquisitive gaze on (Y/n), who tried to ignore her and carry on with her task, today Lena had taken the unprecedented action of not going into work but instead hanging around the kitchen with (Y/n) at the restaurant.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" She finally asked impatiently.
"I don't know what you are talking about." The chef shrugged, carrying on with her task, trying to forget what had happened the last time she had been working in this kitchen, having Lena here was a great distraction for that to help ease her mind.
"Yes you do, how did things go with Alex when we left?"
(Y/n) leveled her gaze on the dark-haired woman. "Shouldn't I be asking you that, what happened when you and Kara left us, because Alex called Kara and she didn't answer."
Lena turned away. "Nothing, she left and that was it, I don't know where she was."
(Y/n) frowned, she knew when Lena was lying. "You're lying."
"I am not!"
"Yes you are, you are lying to be right now, and I've got to ask myself why."
"I'm not lying nothing happened."
"You know I will just get Alex to grill Kara that woman is like a human lie detector test." (Y/n) threatened.
Lena sighed she'd wanted to try and forget it, it hadn't meant anything at all to linger on what had happened would be like building up too much false hope and with Kara, she couldn't cope with that heartbreak.
"I may have kissed her." She said weakly.
(Y/n)'s eyes popped out, her mouth agape. "What!"
"Please don't make me say it again, I kissed her and she fled like an Antilope being pursued by a Lion."
"Wow, you actually did it!" She smiled brightly rushing forward to lift her up into a hug, twirling her around. "You actually grew some boobs and did it!"
"And was humiliated (Y/n)." She sighed sadly, her whole face a reflection of misery her eyes cast downward, (Y/n) moved closer and hugged her tightly.
"It's okay Lena, she was probably just freaked out."
"That isn't making me feel any better."
"I know, she could also just be really confused and afraid, Lena there is nothing to worry about and you know what." She said holding her at arm's length and looking into her eyes. "It's her loss anyway."

(Y/n) sighed coming out of the elevator finishing work early had been a blessing, she knew it was Kara's turn to stay with Alex but she couldn't go home without at least seeing her for a few moments.
Waking up in her bed this morning had been such a blissful feeling, she'd had too long worrying about what was happening to her and where she was, to turn her head and see her next to her sleeping peacefully had made her feel so happy.
She took a deep breath before knocking at the door of Alex's apartment.
The door swung open to reveal Kara already there, her smile disappeared when she saw her, she'd not expected to see her and had anticipated the fact that Lena would have told her what happened, she braced herself for the lecture that she expected to come from (Y/n).
One never came, instead (Y/n) had decided to ignore it or at least decide that it wasn't her personal business to get involved in.
"(Y/n)."
"Hi Kara I've just come to see Alex for a bit, I couldn't go home without seeing her."
Kara smiled, opening the door wider for her to enter.
Alex was sat on the sofa with another woman, (Y/n) recognised her face from pictures around Alex's apartment and ones she had shown her, the woman smiled at her as Alex turned around to face her, she looked nervous, this was not how she expected her mother to meet (Yn).
"Err Hi (Y/n) this is my Mom, Eliza."
