Alex opened up one eye, feeling a strange sensation as she drifted away from sleep and into wakefulness the feel of strong arms wrapped around her but a cool breeze hit her.
Her eyes widened as she realised she lay higher than usual, in fact as she looked down she realised she was not lying in her bed at all, but hovering on top of it by quite a distance, (Y/n) in sleep still held onto her tightly and as she'd drifted upwards unknowingly had taken Alex with her.
"Well, this is a new experience," Alex whispered to herself.
(Y/n) let out a tired grumpy moan. "Go back to sleep."
Alex chuckled. "Hey (Y/n) we're a little up in the air here."
" Stop trying to get me to wake up. "
"Well you may be used to this but I'm not." Alex laughed as she took the chance to jiggle around a little bit hoping (Y/n) would feel them move and finally wake up.
Finally (Y/n) cracked open an eye and saw what Alex had been talking about. "Oops sorry." Slowly she moved them back down landing softly on the bed, the cold crisp covers bracing their fall. " I didn't know, but you see with me how carried away you get. "
Alex turned around in her arms staying as close as she could to her body, after last night she hadn't expected (Y/n) to come home with her let alone sleep with her. "Hi." She smiled with a mixture of shyness and happiness.
(Y/n) returned her smile happily. "Hi."
"Are you still angry with me?"
( Y/n) rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry were you not there last night when I gave you fireworks and made you come like three times, what do you think I am?"
Alex's cheeks reddened.
" Alex, we will argue of course we will, this is what it is like to be in a relationship, but it doesn't mean that every argument means a break up or I'm angry, maybe I'll make you angry next who knows, but as long as you know the only place I want to be is here in your arms then we will be fine. "
"It's the only place I want to be too." Alex smiled letting her hand move away the hair that had fallen over the other woman's (e/c) eyes.
"Good, well if that is the case maybe we should forget everyone and as I seem to be totally uninterested in going back to sleep, maybe I could give you a special good morning gift." (Y/n)'s eyes twinkled with mirth and promise.
Alex felt excitement begin to flutter at the pit of her stomach as she was held spellbound by her eyes. "Oh yeah, and what gift would that be?"
The other woman smirked. "You'll see." Moving like a snake down her body kissing the tensed toned stomach as she passed, then using her tongue to make the trail she'd just done with her lips.
Alex felt her breath leave her as she watched her lover, her eyes never leaving Alex's clouded brown ones, as they lazily took her in.
The advantage of sleeping in the nude was there was nothing to remove if by morning they felt the desire to do something before breakfast, biting softly the inside of her thigh (Y/n) moved closer to the center, gently teasing Alex as she hovered over the spot where she ached.
(e//c) eyes lifted once more to meet brown. "Say it."
" Just do it. " Alex complained.
"Say it first, tell me what I want to hear."
Alex huffed out a desperate sigh. "Okay, you love me and only me."
" Say it again. " (Y/n) smiled. "I want to hear you say it again, more convincing this time."
"I'm going to get you back for this." She promised. " You love me and only me, and you don't care about certain Goddesses who I hate. "
(Y/n) smiled. "Better, I'll get you to say it until you believe it."
"Just get on with what you are doing." Alex tried to push her head down but ( Y/n) only smirked lowering her head with an unbearable slowness.
"Getting impatient Agent Danvers, I wonder why."
Alex moaned at the feel of her mouth on her lower lips, the tongue that ventured between them like an intrepid explorer, her preoccupation over the last few days had been on an old book of pleasures, she'd worried about (Y/n) being lured away, she hadn't ever thought in the midst of her thick fog of jealousy that whatever this book was and whether it still existed or not, (Y/n) must have already learned her lessons from it.
The thought of (Y/n) with anyone else but especially Diana was blocked out by the feel of (Y/n) 's tongue attacking with expert precision her clitoris.
(Y/n) smiled at the feel of soft hands running through her hair, the groans that grew louder, she just hoped Kara wasn't listening although she guessed she had her own morning routine to distract her.

Kara lay on her back looking up at the ceiling, again the same feeling of surrealism hit her she had never believed there would be a time when she would share the same bed as Lena Luthor, it had seemed like forbidden fruit for such a long time.
"Do you think (Y/n) and Alex will be okay?" She asked nervously.
Lena turned her head to face her, the dull morning sun casting a thin layer of light through the gap in the drapes that illuminated her face. "Yes, I do despite how crazy your sister is being (Y/n) loves her too much to let anything come between them."
" What was she like, I mean as a kid what was she like? " Kara asked softly.
Lena chuckled. "She was a whirlwind, fearless, I had no friends at all I was the hated Luthor child, and then suddenly in my misery like some kind of glorious Valkyrie there she was coming to save me, and from that day to this I was never alone again, I always had her even when my family hated me I had (Y/n), I think we always knew there was something between us, when we found out about our mothers it wasn't such a shock, not really."
Kara smiled running the back of her hand down Lena's soft cheek. "What else."
Lena chuckled giving in to the questions her lover was asking, she'd known (Y/n) for a long time Kara had not been afforded that. "One time the teachers made us join the debate club, it was a really big mistake you know how much she likes to argue, they found out when they did a Socialism vs Capitalism debate, gosh she made everyone's ears bleed."
Kara chuckled. "I bet she won though right?"
" Oh God yes she won, she was on fire that day, when her mother left though she went a little out of control, she hated her father, then he got shot and she blamed herself, it was a tough couple of years for her, it was only meeting Diana in Paris that calmed her down really, then she met the douche bag Alessandro when she returned to Metropolis, Gosh that guy was an idiot. " Lena sighed, remembering all the times she had to act civil to the man. "Can I tell you a secret no one knows not even (Y/n)?"
Kara nodded her head seriously. "Of course."
" I was so glad when she said she was moving here, I began to start thinking about how perfect she would be for Alex, and how Alex would be perfect for her, if they hadn't have met by themselves I would have set up a meeting. " Lena confided out loud for the first time.
"Wow, but did they meet or did Alex just arrest her and never released her?" Kara laughed.
"I don't think (Y/n) minds."
" Tell me about it, she'd probably supply the cuffs. " Kara agreed.
"They are good together though, aren't they? It's why I gave Alex another chance because I could see it, sometimes we just make mistakes we are only human "
"Well not all of us are human," Kara smirked.
"That's how I know (Y/n) is serious about Alex, the very fact she gave her a second chance, she doesn't do them Kara her mother hurt her far too much," Lena said sadly, Kharys had done more damage to her daughter than anyone could ever know.
"Yes well she can't hurt her anymore," Kara said with stern steely conviction. "What about you? Are you okay after Aethyr?"
Lena sighed sadly. "She was just like Lillian she never wanted me, she just wanted me for what she could get." A lone tear drop fell from her eye.
Kara felt anger rise within her, how dare the two women not see how wonderful she was, leaning forward she softly kissed away the tear. "They are fools, anyone who can't see how truly wonderful you are, are simply fools."

Being in her apartment with (Y/n) Alex had felt safe wrapped up in a world where no one could touch them, leaving and arriving at the DEO she had found her crushing fears were back with vengeance.
She hated how (Y/n) bent closer to talk with the woman, the Goddess whatever the hell she was, she hated how she smiled a little or laughed occasionally, hated that she stood anywhere near her full stop, when she finally watched (Y/n) walk away she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In her relief she forgot to note that the woman now was heading towards her, a warm smile on her face, Alex tensed at the notion that she was coming to talk to her, what was she doing? Coming to see if she was willing to share like some kind of story from Greek myth, she had no plans ever to turn (Y/n) into some kind of Persephone figure.
"Hi, Alex." Diana smiled.
Alex grated her teeth. "Hi."
"So you know the DEO agreed to help me."
"I know (Y/n) agreed for us."
"Well yes, but she is Superwoman so I guessed her word was enough, Alex when I first saw (Y/n) here again right after she'd jumped in with those guys, I implied we should relive old times."
Alex felt her blood raging. I knew it!
Diana shrugged. "Do you know what she told me straight away?"
"No, what did she tell you?"
"She was with someone, went on to spend ages talking about you, how I needed to meet you because you were amazing." Diana smiled at the confused frown on the other woman's face. "That was how we all had dinner, I must say I didn't see what she saw in you but (Y/n) insisted you were wonderful."
"She said I was wonderful and amazing?" Alex asked softly.
"Oh yes that and so much more, I probably know more about you than anyone else does, all she does is talk about you, Alex it's true I had thought (Y/n) and I could start again especially with me being here in National City, then we met again and I saw it in her eyes when she spoke about you, I saw it in her eyes when she looked at you, even when it was to roll her eyes because you were being a pain in the ass."
Alex frowned. "I was not."
"Yeah, you were, Alex I'd be the cruelest selfish being ever created if I tried to take away that love she has found with you, you see...maybe (Y/n) has not told you about me but then she didn't know a lot of things." Diana let out a soft breath, sadness crossing her face. "I loved someone like you love each other once, his name was Steve Trevor he was, no he still is the love of my life."
"What happened?"
"He died."
"I'm so sorry." Alex felt a cold chill pass through her.
Diana smiled sadly. "Take it from me Alex, it's the time you waste that haunts you, Steve proposed to me so many times before I said yes, I was too busy saving the world and rejected him, that was my duty under Aphrodite's law, but when he died I couldn't escape all the horrible thoughts, I should have said yes sooner, we'd have had more time together maybe it could have saved him full stop." The woman took a deep breath to try to clear the lump that had formed in her throat. "I think you are smart enough to know what I am saying, yes?"
Alex nodded. "Yes."
"Don't waste time with these silly obstacles, they are just illusions in your mind, I'm not the Goddess of Love but I know true love when I see it, I see it in (Y/n) and I see it in you, no one is a threat to you as long as you trust and believe in each other."
Alex nodded her head again, words seeming to fail her, she felt sorry for the woman, she'd lost (Y/n) for a moment and yet the pain still made her heart ache as though there were a giant crack through it, life it was uncertain, even more so in their jobs she needed to find (Y/n).

"(Y/n)." Alex called out pulling her away from where she stood to talk to Kara. "(Y/n) I need to talk to you now."
"Alex what the hell don't be so rude I'm talking with Kara." (Y/n) frowned.
"No please I need to talk with you right now, I can't wait." Alex pleaded, her brown eyes wide with her plea.
(Y/n) sighed turning back to her cousin. "I'm gonna have to go, needy girlfriend alert."
Kara chuckled. "See you later."
Alex wasted no time in dragging (Y/n) along behind her to her lab where she pulled her inside and closed the door shut behind them.
(Y/n) turned around her face red with anger. "What the he..."
Alex cut her off, throwing herself at her and devouring her mouth with her own, her hands cupping her the side of her face as her arms bent holding her tightly to her.
"Wow." (Y/n) said confused, her mind all but short-circuited Alex never did this kind of thing at work, that was always her.
"(Y/n) I've been an idiot."
"What is happening? Is this a trap?" The chef looked around them.
"No, I mean the way I've been acting and treating you ever since Diana arrived, I've been an idiot because I was too busy focusing on my own stupid jealousy and envy that I didn't really see or hear you, I can be too stubborn sometimes. " Her face glowed a deep red and (Y/n) felt her heart melt at the raw truth in her words, she really meant every word.
"Oh Alex, just when I think I can't love you anymore you do something like this and I fall, even more, I don't think there is a bottom anymore, my love for you is bottomles, it's endless." (Y/n) smiled her eyes turning bright from unshed tears, throwing herself into her arms to have Alex's strong arms wrap around her. "I love you so much, Alex, I've never loved anyone until I met you."
"I love you too, too much maybe."
"Keep loving me too much, I like it."
"So does this mean that you want a key to my apartment again?" Alex ventured cautiously.
(Y/n) burrowed into her warm body a smile on her face. "Only if you walk around naked all day."
"I think Kara would have the shock of her life if I did." Alex chuckled.
"Oh, well I guess I'll take it anyway just in case."
