Alex slithered through the door biting her bottom lip, she'd been way longer than she had told (Y/n) she would be, there had been a problem with a prisoner they were holding, turns
out he had been innocent, who knew dark green aliens with two noses could have identical evil twins.
"Babe I'm so sorry I'm late I...." Her eyes grew wide as she took in the scene before her, the table dressed with places set for two over a cute flowery tablecloth, two long candlesticks stood proudly in the center lit up as the rest of the room's light was dimmed. "Wow, okay someone's been busy."
The smell of delicious food tantalized her taste buds as she heard the deep roaring rumble of her stomach.
The bathroom door opened suddenly and in breezed (Y/n), Alex's eyes popped open, her mouth agape as (Y/n) in a short dark blue tight fitted dress, her hair pulled up high above her head letting some pieces fall down in spiral cascades.
"Hey Alex you are back, Bear has been an absolute dickhead today you have no idea, he has driven me crazy and nearly killed Mr. Porter when he stopped by."
" What. " Alex whispered distractedly.
(Y/n) suddenly saw where her eyes were trained, pursing her lips and pressing her hands to her hips she raised an eyebrow. "Have you finished?"
"What, no I was listening, I swear..."
" You had your eyes in my cleavage. " The chef challenged.
Alex smiled swooping into her and pulling her close. "I was admiring my fiance, am I not allowed to do that?"
"So you brazenly admit it." (Y/n) pushed herself closer, pressing her heavy bust against Alex's chest. "You know Agent Danvers I'd much rather you touch than just look." Her voice thick with sweet velvety honey.
"Well I will gladly take you up on your desires future Mrs. Danvers but first I really need to eat, it feels like I haven't eaten in hours."
"Keeping me waiting, you better make it worth my while hotshot." (Y/n) warned with a smile.
Alex smirked, leaning in to press her lips to (Y/n)'s aiming for a quick brief kiss, but (Y/n) wrapped her arms around her neck and held her captive. "I missed you." (Y/n) whispered against her lips delighting in the feel of Alex against her, she knew it ha been only a few hours but it had felt like a lifetime away from her.
" I missed you too, let me go and wash up and I'll be right back. "
Reluctantly (Y/n) let her go following her progress to the bathroom, shaking herself out of her dreamy malaise heading to get the food ready for when Alex returned.

"I can't believe you did all of this." Alex motioned to the table, the perfect looking plates of food, that looked and smelled far too good to eat. " I never knew duck went with pomegranate. "
(Y/n) smiled brightly. "Of course, it's a classic combination when I was training in Paris this was one of the first dishes I ever was taught to make."
" By your ex who was also your boss. " Alex asked a touch of sarcasm in her voice.
"Hello, Ms. jealous it's you I'm marrying isn't it?"
Alex's mouth turned up slightly at the corner in a smirk. "It is, I still can't believe it's actually happening, I had to pinch myself twice today to make sure I wasn't dreaming."
" Not dreaming baby, it's you and me forever. " (Y/n) smiled, picking up her fork swirling it around for a long moment, chewing her bottom lip. "Alex."
Alex looked up from her plate, the best thing about marrying a chef was getting full free access to the best food available, and with (Y/n) it really was the best. "Yes."
"I thought I was happy."
Alex's face paled. "Excuse me."
" I mean before I thought I was as happy as I would ever get with you before, but ever since we got engaged it's been just so crazy, like this is extreme happiness, I just wanted to say you make me this happy, its why I did all of this, I just love you and well I wanted to show you. " (Y/n)'s face turned red.
Alex smiled having recovered from her little scare, she reached her hand across to place over (Y/n)'s. "Oh (Y/n) I love you so much, I know I drive you crazy being jealous sometimes, but I get caught up sometimes in thinking too much."
" Don't worry I know, Lena had this boyfriend at university oh God was he possessive, I think for a time he made her actually live in his jacket pocket, he was a weird one though. "
"How weird?"
"I used to call him the Vampire " (Y/n) shrugged.
"Huh?"
" He always wore black, and I mean even more than Lena did, he stayed awake all night and slept till the light died, I really have no idea how he wasn't kicked out, a few times Lena snuck me into her dorm to stay while visiting and he was just mega weird, I even pulled out Dracula from the library, I had to steal the library card though, but you know like I badass I did, and never returned it. " She smiled triumphantly.
"What happened?"
"Well, I got away with it of course." ( Y/n) said smugly.
Alex rolled her eyes. "No, I mean with the vampire, what happened to him?"
(Y/n) lifted an eyebrow. "No one is a match for Lilian Luthor, even a suspected vampire, she stormed in with the stay away from my daughter routine and he was never seen again."
" Really? "
"Well I was in Paris and Lena moved on to this photographer name Gavin or Gareth maybe Gary or something equally unimaginative, but he kept normal waking hours so that was an upgrade."
"No one can say you two have not lived life to the fullest, I was in Midvale and then here, not exactly exciting stuff." Alex sighed.
"Just busy every day keeping the city and the world safe, nothing exciting at all." ( Y/n) smiled Alex could keep on thinking she was boring but (Y/n) knew different.
"Yes, I am a great big hero."
"You are to me, my world got a whole lot better the day you barged into my kitchen." (Y/n) lifted her heavy eyes filled with hope and love.
"You hated me, you were very vocal on that fact and threatened to call Superman on me because your father knew him."Alex chuckled at the memory.
"I did, but it wasn't the only thing I was feeling."
Alex leaned forward. "Oh yeah, what else were you feeling?"
"Oh you know the usual things beyond, I hate this woman who the hell is she type of thing, such as who is she? she was rough but she sure did smell good, I wonder what she looks like when she smiles really smiles I bet her whole face would light up and her eyes, such beautiful mysterious eyes would just sparkle and dance."
"Wow, okay you thought a lot of things, but you sure didn't show those things at our second meeting."
(Y/n) smiled carefully running her finger along the rim of the glass in front of her. "I'd progressed beyond that, at that point but I needed my show of resistance to continue Alex, I'd gone into erotic dream territory and once you get in there, there is no way out."
"So you started dating someone else," Alex smirked.
"I did not, I hadn't even begun dating anyone, you put pay to that Agent badass, but I got scared, commitment-phobe sitting right here you know."
"You are committed to me."
(Y/n) sighed. "Yeah, but I'm still scared sometimes, not because I'm not sure about you but because ghosts of my past still haunt me I guess, but every time I look at you, and your eyes catch mine, all my fears go away, they are like mist clearing away for the sun to shine and everything is clear again, I see everything my heart wants and it all starts with you."
Pushing away the stray tear that fell from her eye Alex smiled at her, deep and warm she held onto her hand tighter. "I love you so much (Y/n)."
"And I love you, hey you know something weird happened when you were out, beyond Bear being freaking crazy." She cast a disapproving glance at the dog fast asleep in his basket.
"What happened?"
Moving towards the counter where she had left the box, (Y/n) picked it up and opened it to show Alex. "Mr. Porter from next door came over, you remember I told you Bear all but attacked him, anyway he said his wife wanted me to have this."
Alex stood up. "A bracelet, why would she want that and isn't she dead?"
"She's supposed to be, maybe he has her locked up in his attic like a Mr. Rochester figure."
Alex rolled her eyes. "A tasteless joke (Y/n)."
Slowly and carefully (Y/n) lifted the piece of jewelry from its casing and studied it. "He said that his daughters weren't the marrying type so his wife would want to give it to someone like me, which I thought was weird, he doesn't even know me, I could be a massive cheat for all he knows."
Alex chuckled.
(Y/n) frowned as the bracelet suddenly felt funny in her hand. "Err Ale....." Before she could finish her sentence (Y/n) disappeared.
Alex stared stock still, one minute laughing and the next, unsure what the hell was going on her eyes frantically searched around the room. "(Y/n)!"
"(Y/n!!!!)"
