"Here she is Alex told us you had to get something at the restaurant." Cat huffed as she watched the younger woman enter the door, Alex's eyes eagerly ran down the length of her body taking in every inch monitoring whether she was hurt.
(Y/n) sent her a reassuring smile to put her at ease and Alex breathed easy again for the first time since she had left.
"Did you get it?"
" Sorry what. "
"What you had to leave so late to go back to the restaurant." Cat sighed impatiently.
"Oh yeah, it was my cell phone."
Alex's eyes grew wide, why had she said her cell phone, Cat narrowed her eyes.
"Oh, really Alex said it was tampons."
(Y/n) turned her astounded eyes to her girlfriend wondering why the hell she had said that, whoever left their tampons anywhere? Alex shrugged and mouthed. "I'm sorry."
" Err well I thought I had left my tampons in my office but actually when I got there it was my cell phone which was a relief. " (Y/n) said very quickly as Cat still watched her suspiciously.
"I hope you haven't soiled my lovely sofa."
(Y/n) shook her head. Sadly no.
"We just watched some tv Cat don't worry, you are just concerned that I live by your standards I remember you and my father back in Metropolis the couch, the car, the tree house even once."
Alex paled at the revelation.
Suddenly the tv became louder as her father sat down and turned up the volume for the news.
"Hi, Dad nice to see you again." ( Y/n) spoke sarcastically waving her hand in front of him.
"Grow up (Y/n)." He growled.
" I'm glad you are here to see how awful they treat me, Alex, my very own Princess charming come to save me from the beasts. " (Y/n) said dramatically making her eyes go largely she looked like an innocent in a manga cartoon.
"Tonight National City was rocked by the death of the curator of it's oldest and biggest library Michael Ericsson he was found tonight dead the police are saying they are looking for witnesses."
Alex turned towards her alarm in her eyes again as (Y/n) stared sadly at the tv screen.
"Witnesses are already saying Superwoman was inside engaged in what sounded like a battle but who she was fighting is unknown and the police are not giving away anything at this moment in time."
" I'm going to go and get a shower. " Cat smiled at her husband who greeted her with an equally warm smile his eyes lingering on her behind as she left the room, (Y/n) cringed at the sight. OMG, I get the butt staring from my Dad! But at least I have better taste in women.
"(Y/n)." Alex called worried.
" I'm just going to my room with Alex Dad okay. "
"Sure."
(Y/n) caught Alex's hand in her own and led her to the room Cat had given her to stay in while she was here, closing the door behind her.
"What happened?"
" The police aren't giving any answers because they aren't involved its the DEO. " (Y/n) shrugged.
"Yes, but what happened?"
" I saw her Alex the Banshee she was looking for a book, her face painted like a white skull, she was really surprised when her scream didn't work on me so she threw a shelf load of books on me and escaped. " (Y/n) sighed.
"I was so worried about you," Alex said with misery as she accepted the arms her girlfriend held out to her pulling herself into the warming comfort her body offered.
" I know but I was okay. "
"It doesn't matter I'm always going to be worried about you."
(Y/n) smiled at her lover's soft confession, it was nice to have someone who thought of you, even if it was to worry their mind at least was with you, (Y/n) rarely had that ever in her life from Alex it was a welcome emotion. "I know the feeling, when we didn't know where you were my mind wouldn't think of anything else, I was consumed with thoughts of you, worry, hope everything was you I hoped that they would keep you safe until we found you."
" They did. " Alex smiled cupping the other woman's cheek in her hand and softly gazing into her eyes, the (e/c) eyes that stared back at her filled with as much love as she felt.
"I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't made it." ( Y/n) said sadly leaning into the hand that pressed against her face, as a lone tear fell and crashed into the agent's palm.
"Well, I did."
" Thankfully. "
"You came to my rescue."
"I think that was Kara." (Y/n) smiled.
"I like to think it was you." Alex thought back to how her sister had described ( Y/n) that night, how enraged she had been even to want to kill her own mother, all for her it did have a romantic tone to it.
"So Alexandra do you wanna sleepover, my Dad won't mind." ( Y/n) smiled wickedly at her. "Do you need your Mom's permission?"
" Shut up you, we are definitely regressing far too much. " Alex laughed happy to be pulled towards the bed and falling on top of the chef with a happy chuckle their lips met casually until it became an intense passionate dual, neither wanted or were willing to lose.
"This is definitely another first." ( Y/n) said against her lips.
"Shut up and just kiss me."
" Yes, Alexandra my pleasure." The chef purred some orders she was only too happy to obey.

The scream pierced through her ears, lost in a deep sleep Alex's arm draped over her, she had enjoyed the warm her cocoon offered, her eyes opened suddenly alarm cutting through her as she leaped from the bed.
"What is it?" Alex asked sleepily.
"I don't know I heard a scream." it was a strange thing to go from naked to wrapped in her Superwoman's suit in moments, yet she was and as quickly as she had risen from her bed she was out the bedroom door closing it behind her, leaving no room for debate about whether Alex should follow her.
She rapidly made her way down the hallway to where she heard the scream, what she saw turned her stomach and made the anger build up inside her, her father lay stretched out on the bed his face half covered by a mask of some kind (Y/n) didn't know why or how the Banshee stood in the center of the room her eyes now turning towards Cat.
Wasting no time (Y/n) tried to ignore her father, ignore how she wanted to crumple at his side and make sure he was okay, was he even breathing?
"Superwoman," Cat whispered with half relief.
The Banshee turned to face her a shrill laugh leaving her mouth. "Nice to see ye again lass."
"You've really pissed me off this time skull queen."
"You don't know what anger what heartache lass, because I'm not going to let any of you live I'll tell you why I started my quest." She said smugly., (Y/n) just glared at her.
"When I was young I fancied myself in love he was a handsome you man strong, a warrior and clan chieftain of the (L/n) clan."
(Y/n) frowned what had this to do with anything?
"He sang me words of love just as most men do when they want something." She exchanged a glance at the man lying on the bed and gave a distasteful hiss. "His name was Niall he had the most beautiful blue/green eyes I'd ever seen they were just a way to distract from his deceit."
"So a guy cheated you, what woman hasn't had that happen to them, we don't go around murdering innocent people." (Y/n) said angrily.
"Oh they were not innocent, each one carried the blood of Niall, and each one pollutes the earth with his repulsive seed."
Wtf.
(Y/n) was aware of silent footsteps behind her, she winched. Dammit, Alex.
"I came here to get my next claim this creature was all I found." She pointed at the masked man, who (Y/n) frowned when he moved his hand, sighing in utter relief, he was alive.
"So you are going around killing descendants of Niall (L/n) because he betrayed you."
"Because of him I spent a thousand years and more in the darkest depths of the netherworld, the only consolation was these powers I received, I bided my time and when I found my escape I set about my revenge."
"Revenge on people who had no idea they were even descended from the man you hate."
"Their ignorance is no excuse."
Suddenly from behind (Y/n) Alex appeared a gun she seemed to have made appear from nowhere pointed at the Banshee as she fired off round after round, the Banshee didn't even attempt to scream she quickly leaped through the window and escaped.
Cat rushed to her husband's side cradling his face in her hands as (Y/n) trying to act like Superwoman turned around to hide the tears that were invading her eyes.
"I'll call an ambulance," Alex said seriously rushing to get her cell phone and dial the number.
"Is he okay?" Superwoman cracked the words out.
"He is breathing but it's weak," Cat whispered.
