"I know I miss you too, but it's only for two days." (Y/n) sulked face timing Alex just wasn't the same as being with her.
"I know but two days seems like forever right now," Alex complained, (Y/n) smiled at her sweet face, tracing the shape of her cheek on the phone screen.
"When I get back we'll do something so romantic just you and me." The chef reassured.
"It better be somewhere remote where no one will bother us," Alex said seriously, left alone she had begun to wonder why it seemed that everyone was intruding on their lives, they couldn't go one day without someone turning up and finding a way to part them.
"You want remote, I will give you remote it will be just you and me, no one else." ( Y/n) promised.
A smile slowly appeared across her face. "That does sound amazing."
" It will be, how is the city doing without me? "
"Hanging in there." Alex smiled. " Me on the other hand, Bear and I are missing you so much. "
A soft wine rang out, making (Y/n) smile. "Come on you know you want to, put him on."
For a second Alex disappeared as she bent down to pick up the small puppy, bringing him up to her face so that she was cuddling him, (Y/n) felt her heart begin to melt it was the cutest sight she had ever seen
"He misses his Mommy," Alex said lifting his paw and waving it at her.
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "I'm still not sure about this Mommy thing, fairly sure his Mommy had four legs and fur, not to mention a wet nose."
Alex smirked dangerously. "Pretty sure you had a wet nose last night."
"Alex Danvers is that you or have you been replaced by a cheeky lookalike, either way, I'm loving this new you." (Y/n) smiled impressed.
"Oh come on we're his parents now." The woman inside the phone continued to lift his paw up as though he were waving at her, his small tongue hung out as he looked around for her after he had heard her voice. "He misses you too."
The door closed behind them and for a split second Alex frowned until she remembered that it was Lena, relaxing again she continued her Bear show, she knew (Y/n) was more than comfortable showing affection to her in front of Lena.
"Hey, guys." Lena smiled seeing Alex on ( Y/n)'s phone. "And hey Bear is here too, its good if (Y/n) gets into trouble he can come and save her."
"Why does everyone think I'll get into trouble?" (Y/n) sighed.
"Two words for you (Y/n) Pink Jaguar," Alex smirked knowingly.
"That was her idea." (Y/n) pointed to Lena who laughed. "The next day Cat had it delivered back to CatCo, with two pink jaguar friends." (Y/n) chuckled.
"Now I'm stuck with three." Lena cringed. "Hey, maybe you want one for your apartment."
" Bring any pink jaguar near my apartment and I will set Bear on you. " Alex threatened, lifting the small cuddly creature up to the screen and back again.
Lena pouted. "I can't believe you let her threaten me, me your oldest friend, your own blood."
(Y/n) shrugged. "Yeah true but she is too cute, look at her." she pointed to the screen. " Just too adorable. "
Lena watched as her cousin blew a kiss to the screen. "I gotta go, I'm jumping in the shower before we go out."
Alex frowned. "Where are you going?"
" Don't worry (Y/n)'s mother. " Lena teased. "We are just going to a restaurant no heavy booze I promise."
"Just get going Lena or I'll do more gross kissing sounds that freak you out." The chef threatened before folding over with laughter when Lena hurried from the room. " See it worked. "

"Do not say it," Lena warned as she sat across the table watching as ( Y/n) grimaced and looked down on the plate of food before her. "This is the best restaurant in all of Gotham, they know what they are doing."
" Obviously not very much because this is so dry I'm choking on it, it's like eating actual chalk, this should be soft and succulent and just fall apart in the mouth. "
Lena rolled her eyes, (Y/n) was always a nightmare to go to a restaurant with, even before she had become a chef she endlessly critiqued the food and it was hardly ever a good recommendation.
She needed to get her attention away from the food, just as she had thought this in the corner of her eyes she caught sight of her again, the same woman she'd seen a few times tonight and her gaze was always on (Y/n).
"There is a woman who has eyes only for you," Lena whispered.
(Y/n) shrugged. "I've seen her, seriously Lena this food stinks!"
Lena arched an eyebrow. "Wow, it's amazing how far you've come, a hot chick checking you out and you couldn't care less."
" You think she is hot? Okay, it's your taste I guess. "
"Okay, come on tell me you've never told me what attracted you to Alex in the first place." Lena smiled, happy she'd found another way to distract her from the food.
(Y/n) smiled, "Okay but no one knows this, not even Alex, as you know we first met when she arrested me and I thought she was a total bitch, but a hot total bitch."
" Gotta get the hot bit in. " Lena smirked.
"Of course she's smoking hot, anyway so the night she and Kara were in my restaurant, there is a space where from the kitchen you can observe the dining room without anyone seeing you, I was nervous about what Kara was going to write so I was watching when I saw Alex, at first I thought they must be dating or something until Kara introduced her sister." She smiled at the memory, she'd spent way too much time thinking about the woman who'd arrested her, coming face to face with her again was not an unwelcome event, even if she had acted that way. " So when I wasn't out there acting like the ice queen I was watching, I couldn't take my eyes away from her, and the way she was with Kara, kinda like you would imagine a sister to be. "
"Yeah, I got Lex so I can't comment on siblings."
" She was just so...oh Gosh I don't know uncertain but confident, shy but stubborn, all night she ran her fingers up the stem of the glass and Lena I swear I was actually jealous of that damn glass, I really don't know how I waited as long as I did to actually have sex with her, I know that sounds bad but for her everything always just feels right. "
"Aww, my little cousin is in love." Lena smiled.
(Y/n) beamed back at her. "Yes she is and she is loving the feeling, you know what she did that night? She pretended to go to the bathroom to avoid me, I thought I'd totally missed my chance of seeing her again, so I stayed extra longer talking with Kara just to make sure I was there."
Lena and (Y/n) exchanged a warm smile, she sighed "But it's not just her looks and all that empty vapid stuff that fade with time, she's so smart and brave, she's like 100 on a scale of one to ten, and when we first got together I spent every day wondering when she was going to open her eyes and realise she was way too good for me."
" Then she did. " Lena said sadly.
(Y/n) nodded not trusting her voice.
"But look at you now, living together and parents to an adorable puppy," Lena reassured her.
" She even managed to skip the condition I said he could stay. "
"Shut up you love him too."
(Y/n) smirked, one side of her mouth lifting upward. "Yeah, I do."
The waiter took that moment to approach them a tray of champagne in his arms, a bright smile on his face. "From the lady sitting over there." He pointed to the woman who had been watching them, her long black hair swung as she lifted her hand to wave, red lips thinned out in a wide smile.
(Y/n) watched the bottle as though it contained Kryptonite. "No thanks."
" (Y/n) it's impolite to refuse champagne. " Lena gasped.
"Who the hell made up that rule?"
Lena shrugged. "Well someone should have." Holding out her glass for the waiter to pour the fizzy liquid inside, he turned to face (Y/n) waiting for her consent.
(Y/n) sighed. "Fine."
"Err excuse me but who is she?" Lena asked just before he turned away.
" Zatanna Zatara, she is a magician. "
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "Ironic you'd think she would know how to make herself disappear."
"I'm loving this whole, I hate everyone but Alex you, but it is ruining our free champagne."
Sighing deeply she took a sip of the bubbly drink. "You are spending too much time with Kara." She warned with a dramatic serious expression on her face.
Lena chuckled excitedly. "That is ridiculous, there is no such thing as too much time with Kara."
Thirty Minutes Later.
Lifting her head backward Lena let out a mighty roar of laughter that made everyone in the restaraunt turn to watch them, (Y/n) lost already in her own fit of laughter let her head rest on her arm as the laughter overcame her, it hurt now but she still couldn't stop.
Suddenly (Y/n) fell off her chair, Lena laughed even more.
"Youuu are drrunk!" She pointed through her laughter at her cousin who sat on the ground on her bottom.
"I...I am not drrunkk, I only had two glasses." Sitting back on the chair she leaned closer to the raven-haired woman to whisper. "And tis iz not supposed to get us drunk remember." She tapped her nose at her.
"Yeah, I remembered it, I iz not stupid!"
"Alex is going to kill you, for getting me drunnk." (Y/n) said through a wicked laugh.
Lena shook her head. "No way, shez going to kill you!"
"OMG she will, she will kill me with her bare hands, her bare sexy strong hands." (Y/n) gasped. "Then she will kill you."
Lena's eyes grew wide with fear. "No, no coz I have Kara to protect me."
"Kara is no match for my Alex, shez like a total badass." The chef claimed proudly, pointing her hand at the other woman from across the table.
"Don't fall again." Lena laughed.
A hand landed on Lena's shoulder, long black fingernails softly dug into her bare shoulder. "Hi, ladies you look like you're having fun mind if I join." Not waiting for an invitation the woman with platinum blonde hair worn in pigtails with blue and red dye on each end of each pigtail sat down and poured herself a glass. "So where are you two from?" Red lips smiled as she sipped from the glass, hesitating before drinking the whole glass in one mouthful and then going back for more.
Lena leaned across the table to (Y/n). "She drank all our free champagne."
(Y/n) shrugged as she swayed a little in the seat. "We're from Metropolis, but we live in National City."
"The Super cities." The new woman grinned leaning her arms on the table to lean closer a cheeky smile on her face. "Have you ever seen them, the Superrs I mean?"
(Y/n) frowned. "Sure, seen them flying around, like red and blue arrogant birdz."
Lena nodded her head, "I'm Lena and thiz is (Y/n)."
(Y/n) waved at her.
"Pretty name, I'm Harley, Harley Quinn and I think we're gonna have a lot of fun."
