The four women suddenly jumped when no sooner had the portal closed when it was opened again, Blaire walked out with a sullen expression on her face, her shoulders slumped forward in defeat, behind her walked a very familiar figure.
"Lena!" ( Y/n) shrieked.
"It's another visitor back from the future. " Sara laughed
Lena did not look happy at all, her eyes fixed on the young woman she waited.
"I'm sorry I wasn't supposed to come here," Blaire whispered.
" Or even go anywhere near my lab. " Lena added.
"Or go anywhere near the lab, but I'd heard you and Kara talking about it with my Moms and I was intrigued about what it would be like to come and meet my Mom when she was younger, she if she was always a pain in the ass."
(Y/n) leaned closer to Alex to whisper. "Younger and less of an old battle-ax."
" Thank you very much I love you too. "
"As I'm sure you are aware what Blaire has done is very dangerous it could change everything, so I am here on damage control." Lena's eyes traveled to Kara a small smile appearing on her face. "So strange to see you here I just left you with a bowl of potstickers."
"At least Kara doesn't change," Alex whispered.
Kara blushed.
"So yes I have come to clean up my Niece's mess." Her eyes turned to the girl again who slid backward slightly under her glare.
" I said I was sorry Aunt Lena. "
"Yes well luckily for all of us I was there when you returned otherwise goodness only knows what would have happened."
" I thought that was changing the past? " (Y/n) shrugged feeling sorry for Blaire, she wanted to stick up for her.
"The same also applies to the future."
" Do we have to do it, Lena? " Blaire groaned as Lena pulled out a small object from her pocket.
"Yes, we do."
Blaire sighed. "Okay but one thing before it happens Moms please don't traumatize your kids by kissing in public all of the time, it really does make Finlay puke."
Lena winked at Kara. "And I'll see you in the future babe." Kara flushed read, so read her face looked like someone had painted her red, a bright luminous red, the kind that could be seen from the NASA space station.
Before anyone could reply a flash appeared from the object and before they knew what was happening Lena and Blaire was gone back to the future only there would they ever meet them again, all memories gone.
"So I was just saying to Kara how the worst thing that could ever happen to me would be if Cat actually liked me, and infinitely worse if I liked her." ( Y/n) laughed. "OMG Alex if I decide to name a child after her you really need to stop me."
" No problem babe. "

(Y/n) floated around her kitchen as though she were walking on air, a large smile on her face as she watched her team working before her eyes, their attitudes had changed after learning of the exile of the unfriendly ghost, but they were still weary that she would return.
(Y/n) had her own reservations but that Constantine guy had seemed to know what he was doing, she was surprised he hadn't returned to try his luck with Winn, that would have been funny unless he had her in his sights too, but luckily she had superpowers unwanted attention was easy to solve these days.
"Okay, lovely people I am exhausted let's get the desserts out so we can all get ready to go home." She called out to everyone, they gave a loud cheer that made her smile.
" What's the matter chef you got yourself a hot date lined up? " One teased.
"Not tonight I'm flying solo."
" So Alex is available, put in a good word for me will you, chef? " Another laughed ducking from the towel that she threw.
"She's all mine so back off!"
" Yes, Ma'am. "
The chef smiled as she walked back to clear up the discarded tickets for the night, the thought of Alex never failed to have that effect on her, Her mind went back to the night of Truth and Dare Alex had sworn revenge on Sara for dominating the night, everyone was anticipating a brutal Danvers reprisal.
Then alone again in Alex's apartment just she and Alex where the ravishing agent she had rewarded her for having chosen her to kiss.
She caught herself blushing at the memory of Alex moving down her bare body her eyes locked on her as she slipped her tongue into the eager wet folds of her body.
"Work is no place for sexual daydreams." An annoying voice said next to her.
" Dammit Cat what the hell are you doing here we had a deal. "
"I am checking up on my restaurant of course, what else would I be doing here?" Her eyes moved around the kitchen applauding herself for having taken the younger woman back. "I did well when I accepted you back here."
" Excuse me accepted me you were in shit street the whole kitchen staff was refusing to work, the place looked like hell on earth you were desperate and I did you a favor because you kept ruining every interview I was getting all over the city. "
"Yes well if you say so I remember something quite different."
"Different! what the hell do you live on Mars or something?" How could one woman be so infuriating? She wouldn't have thought it was possible until she met Cat Grant.

Kara held her hands over her eyes and leaped into the air, the tv exploded with a giant scream that sent her hiding under a pillow.
"It's still as terrifying."
" Its just a movie come on Kara even (Y/n) can watch this, and she thinks Bambi is a horror movie. "
"It is who kills a baby deer' s Mother?"
"Hunters." Alex shrugged as her eyes moved back to the horror on the screen.
"Alex."
" Hmm. "
"Can I tell you something?"
" Yeah. "
Kara coughed to clear her throat hoping she would say well enough what she wanted to say. "I prefer you with (Y/n) than when you were with Maggie."
" What, where has this come from? "
"Well we hardly ever did this then did we when you were with Maggie, she was always around or you were with her, I missed you," Kara whispered. " (Y/n) seems to get that we should spend time together, without even being asked I mean even when I thought she was cheating with Lena and she hated me she never once tried to stop me coming here or spending time with you. "
Alex smiled at her goofy younger sister. "Oh, Kara you big goofball come here." She threw her arms around Kara happy to show her sister just how much she cared about her. "I'm happy you feel that way because I've been thinking."
" What about? "
"I've been thinking about (Y/n) and I, we know where we are going and I..well I hate being apart from her Kara. "
"She only lives with Lena. "
"Even that is far too far away." Alex sighed sadly. " We've been through so much together more than most people do in a lifetime. "
Kara paused to think about what she was saying. "What are you saying?"
" I'm going to ask her to marry me. "
Kara gasped loudly, her mind, however, told her that (Y/n) would think this is far too soon, this was part of a problem when she was with Maggie they jumped in far too soon. "Alex, you need to really think about this if you know what will happen, you have it all sorted out then why do you need to rush?"
"Because I want proof Kara, I want to know one hundred percent that she is mine and I am hers. "
"A wedding won't do that Alex."
" I know but I love her. " Alex said sadly feeling tears trickle down her face.
"She loves you too Alex but I think it's too soon, in a few months who knows maybe yes, but right now it's too soon."
Her phone sounded telling her she'd received a text message, wiping the stray tears from her eyes she picked it up and through the blurred letters she read.
Hey Alex,
Don't reply I know it's scary movie night with the scardy cat sister lol, I hope you are both having having fun, I'm just letting you know I'm safe home and I love you, sweet dreams babe. xxx
"Who is it? " Kara shrugged.
"It's (Y/n) telling me she got home safely and she loves me."
Kara smiled knowingly. "Yep, I think that is her saying everything you want the proposal to say."
" But what if it's never the right time? "
"Alex she's not going anywhere and I have a feeling if you don't propose she will so stop worrying about silly things, this movie is bad enough. "
"What is it with you and horror movies?" Alex laughed.
"You can't talk what about you and The Omen?"
" That is a genuinely terrifying film so shut up. "
"Of course it is, that is why you didn't sleep with the light off for a whole month. "
"And?" Alex protested.
" You were nineteen Alex. "
"Shut up you or I'll tell (Y/n) to never make you any more potstickers ever again. " Alex pouted.
"Well, there is no need to be mean."

(Y/n) threw herself back against the couch, blowing out a long breath happy that her shift was finally over and she could relax, her fingers itched to pick up her phone and call Alex but she stopped herself.
"What's up with you, face ache?" She chuckled as Lena frowned on the opposite chair her head in her hand trying to distract herself with some rubbish she had found on tv while channel surfing.
"Nothing."
"Yeah, that was what you said when Karen Baker stole your boyfriend, a week later you stole her panties from gym class."
"Yes well, I've matured since then."
"You were seventeen." (Y/n) laughed, it had been hilarious to watch the permanently stuck up Karen running around looking for her underwear only to find them hanging from the football posts.
Lena sighed heavily turning to face her closest friend her eyes heavy with sadness and indecision, (Y/n) lost her smile. "I told Bruce I need a break."
"Wow, Lena what does that mean?"
"It means I don't know how to end it with him, I guess it will have to be next week when I go to Gotham, (Y/n)."
"Yes, I will come with you." (Y/n) shrugged as though it was obvious without even being asked that she was going to Gotham.
"Oh goodness thank you."
"Hey it's cool plus I've never been to Gotham, it will be an experience."
