Alex stepped out of the shower, moving to stand before the steam covered mirror wiping away the obstacle to view herself with a sigh, a moment of insecurity hitting her about lines that appeared on her face, yesterday had been far too much to handle, when she thought back she remembered bumping into someone and them spilling something, then the rest had become a hazy mist that she seemed lost in.
(Y/n) had saved her again, she had felt so awful when Kara had told her what she had done with Maggie, (Y/n) had seemed to not want to burden Alex with the guilt she knew she would feel, but the woman had assured her she wasn't angry.
Arms suddenly wrapped around her from behind, her eyes lifting to the mirror to meet the (e/c) eyes of her lover, her chin now resting on Alex's shoulder the rich firm peaks of her nipples rubbed against the agent's soft skin. "Morning number one with my new roomie." (Y/n) smiled kissing her shoulder.
"I hope we're a little more than roomies." Alex raised an eyebrow expectantly.
"Hmm, maybe, maybe roomies with benefits, you know like I get a bed buddy and someone to massage my feet, a nice view to look at every day." Her interested eyes moved in the reflection of the mirror to Alex's bare chest.
"So that is the arrangement we have is it? That seems fine with me I guess that means we can go and look for other hookups too?" Alex asked teasingly, smiling at the pouting grimace that appeared on (Y/n)'s face.
"We're exclusive roomies with benefits."
"(Y/n) I'm so sorry about kissing Maggie I.."
"Please Alex stop saying sorry I know it was not your fault it was a horrible night and one I never want to relive, you at least were under a spell I kissed Diana, my only excuse is I was so lost and so scared about losing you I wanted to grasp on to something, but once I'd done it I realised the only thing I wanted was what I get from you, can we please just forget that awful night, when that screwed up Goddess sees me though, I'll throw her back to ancient Greece."
Alex turned around in her arms. "Hey we're okay, aren't we? in fact maybe last night was what we needed, you know every tv couple has to have some milestone drama to overcome."
(Y/n) raised a dramatic eyebrow. "You don't think we've had enough of them already?"
"We're still here and stronger than ever aren't we?"
"Yes."
"Then we've beaten them all and come out the other side as winners, I would say that we, my love are totally endgame."
"I like the, my love bit."
"Oh yeah."
"Yep, I love being your anything."
Alex grinned wrapping her arms around her and pulling her closer. "Yep and now you are mine forever, no going back now Ms. (L/n)."
"I'm not planning on it Agent Danvers, oh yeah Alex."
" Hmm. "
"You may get a call today."
Alex frowned. " From who? "
"The police station, I kinda assaulted a police officer last night, so I just wanted to give you the heads up."
" You hit Maggie! "
"Of course, but you hit Diana so we think alike gorgeous."

The alleyway narrowed more the further they entered, the buildings seeming to lean over them
"So things are okay?" Kara asked as she kicked a bit of old wood out of her way.
" Yeah, I asked her to move back in with me. " Alex couldn't hide the smile that burst onto her face.
Kara gasped with excitement. "OMG, no way what did she say?"
" She said yes. "
"Okay because I'm in Supergirl mode I can't do the excited sister routine but later we will be celebrating."
Alex smiled. "Maybe not the bar for a little while I really don't want to bump into Maggie again."
"Lena told me that (Y/n) really gave her one." Kara shrugged. " A bit like you last night with Diana. "
"She kissed my girlfriend I had to show her that was unacceptable."
Kara laughed. "No kidding, I guess it ruined the heroic girlfriend routine when she was hardly affected."
" Yep, tell me about it, but (Y/n) didn't care so I still won. "
"You know she adores you right?" Kara cast her a knowing smile.
" It's good to know I'm not the only one. "
"Oh you definitely aren't, I know she kissed Diana but Alex if you'd seen the worry in her eyes you would know just how messed up her mind must have been."
A sound caught their attention from deep within the alleyway, Alex lifting her gun and Kara her gaze intently ahead of her waiting and preparing themselves for anything to jump out.
Walking slowly their conversation stopped as they exchanged silent messages, Kara going to the area the noise had come from moving aside the cardboard box she gasped at what she found.
"What is it?" Alex moved next to her gun drawn. " Oh my God. "
"I know." Kara gazed down at the small creature its fur matted with dirt. "Oh but he's so cute Alex."
Alex looked down at the small puppy her heartbreaking for him, replacing her gun in her holster she bent down to pick him up, he shook and shivered with fright as Alex held him closer to her despite the smell. "Let's get him out of here."

(Y/n) stretched out happily she was home, her and Alex's home she didn't have to leave and she never again had to sit in Lena's apartment talking to Alex through a screen.
Alex's jacket hung over the back of the couch, the chef smiled wickedly. "Hey, baby I hope your keeping to my bargain for moving in, naked Alex 24/7 I'm totally in by the way."
Alex suddenly shot out of the bathroom closing the door firmly behind her. "(Y/n) Hi."
" Hi. "
"I didn't expect you back so early." Alex rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.
(Y/n) frowned. "This is the time I always finish."
" Oh, yeah well I must have lost track of the time, are you staying or not? "
(Y/n) watched her for a moment in silence as she shifted from one foot to the other her cheeks turning red. "Alex, what are you hiding?"
" What I'm not hiding anything. "
"Remember I have x-ray vision Alex, I can use it to see what your hiding."
Alex sighed, opening the door behind her. "But remember to not be mad."
" Alex the only reason I could be mad if there was a naked chick in there if there is she can prepare for the flight down the side of the building. "
"Of course not."
(Y/n) moved swiftly to the door brushing against Alex as she did, she did indeed find another woman in the bathroom but she definitely wasn't naked and she was definitely holding a very wet small white dog. "Oh no, no way we cannot keep the dog, Alex, where did you even get him?"
"He was abandoned (Y/n)." Kara pouted lifting the small little dog up to the chef's face. "Left all alone with no food and no one to look after him."
(Y/n) looked at the dog, Alex and Kara holding their breaths for what could happen next when suddenly the dog opened its mouth and with a giant tongue licked the surprised and very grossed out chef in the face. "Eww, Alex we are not keeping this thing he just licked me who knows what he has been doing with that thing, get out you two I need to shower to get the dog germs off me."
"I can't believe you are being so mean (Y/n)." Kara pouted lifting the dog closer to kiss it, the dog's big brown eyes watched her.
"I am not mean what if some little kid lost their dog and are heartbroken, or some old person has lost their only companion, we can't keep him and that is final, and Alex please you are a grown woman stop giving her those eyes and please stop pouting, Kara take him out now you will take him to the pound and see if anyone has lost a dog like him."
Kara gasped. "What if they are a gang of dognappers wanting to make coats from their fur like deranged criminals."
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "Then they would be in the movie 101 Dalmations."
Alex rolled her eyes, jumping in front of her girlfriend to stop her from leaving the bathroom. "Come on (Y/n) look how cute he is, he would love it here with us especially when his Mommy would be as sweet, as kind and as beautiful as you."
(Y/n) took a deep breath. "One I am offended that you think I am so easy to flatter, yes I am all of those things, but also Mommy oh hell no, I'm not going to be his Mommy."
"But he wants you to be his Mommy," Kara said in that strange way a grown adult talks to a cute puppy, lifting him back up to the other woman's face, before he could attack again she moved backward out of his reach, he let out a small cry. "You see you hurt his feelings."
"Oh my God I do not believe this is happening, move in she says, we'll have fun she says, what you never said was on the first evening you'd bring home a stray dog and put on your own puppy dog show to keep him."
Moving swiftly beyond Alex she made her way to the kitchen to wash her face there, both Alex and Kara carrying the devilish little pooch followed behind her, watching as she leaned over and started the taps. "You all followed me didn't you?"
"Please (Y/n) you said you love me." Alex pleaded.
"Low blow Agent Danvers, low blow we can keep him until we find his owners, but do not name him he is not staying and you will be looking for his owners won't you?" (Y/n) looked to the two sisters, their shared stares of conspiracy spoke volumes, (Y/n) had every idea what they would do. "Won't you?"
"Yes (Y/n)." Alex conceded.
"Yes (Y/n)."
(Y/n) smiled walking now towards the little dog, his tail wagging at her coming closer. "You see little one, that is my Mommy routine, fix it Alex or you will be getting it too." She called out heading to the welcome embrace of a shower.
Kara shrugged. "I thought you already had."
Alex nodded her agreement.

(Y/n) handed Alex the mug of warm hot chocolate and with her own sat down next to her on the sofa, Alex had the laptop open on her lap, (Y/n) hoped she was beginning to search for the dog's true owners.
"So anything?"
"Did you know that actually Bear here is a Kromfohrlander and apparently they are very intelligent, funny, agile dogs which love to climb and jump and easily excels at agility."
"That just sounds like Kara." (Y/n) shrugged feeling the dog's eyes on her from where he sat in the makeshift bed that Alex had laid out for him on an old blanket.
"I'd be careful Kara already thinks she has left Bear with National City's answer to Cruella De Vil."
"That role definitely goes to Cat Alex, come on give me some credit."
Alex went back to the screen hoping to begin her charm offensive and get (Y/n) to agree to keep him. "They are very good with children and family and tends to be a one-person dog."
"I know what you are doing and it won't work, also you named him I told you not to name him, it will be worse when he leaves."
"How can you say that he is listening," Alex said sadly, as the dog as though finding its queue stepped out from his bed and made his way towards to couch and with clumsy movements of a small puppy jumped up onto the seat, walking closer to the chef.
"Err Alex he is on the sofa and near me."
Alex chuckled. "He likes you."
With cautious shy movements his small paw patted her leg, almost as though he were testing what she would do, still afraid and weary he pulled himself up and curled up on her lap, falling asleep as quickly as he lay his head down on his two tiny front paws as pillows.
Alex looked down at the sight, fighting hard to stop the tears she knew wanted to fall. "He really likes you (Y/n) and he was all alone out there you should have seen him, even now you can tell how skinny he is can't you?"
(Y/n) looked down at the ball on her lap, his snores already filling the room. "Dammit, Alex."
Alex picked up her hand in between her own. "We were going to get one eventually right? So how can't now be the perfect time it's like fate we found him just when we found ourselves, it's like he is meant to be with us."
(Y/n) looked back down at the dog and then back into Alex's deep beseeching eyes. "If you don't find his owners then he can stay with us."
Excited Alex bounced up and down on the couch roughly grabbing (Y/n)'s head to kiss her hard, her heart beating hard at the good news, she just new Bear was alone in the world, and from now on he would never be alone ever again.
"Wow Alex calm down you'll wake Mr. Cheeky here."
"I'm sorry I'm just so excited." Alex beamed. Our first night in our home as a family.
