(Y/n) looked around her, eyes wide with stunned appreciation right now the garden was filled with brown, yellow and red leaves dying and falling to the ground, as they walked through the maze-like path the leaves crunched deliciously satisfyingly under their feet.
They'd probably left it too late for venues but with everything that had happened these past few months there had seemed like there was very little time, they had been lucky they had gotten to keep this appointment, Alex had just about been persuaded to leave Kara as she was coming out of her red kryptonite high.
Alex walked up ahead asking all the questions she knew was important to ask, she'd already gone through this once before, (Y/n) decided to leave all the talking to her. Instead (Y/n) kept expecting someone to jump out from the bushes, with the phantoms around that wasn't such a fanciful thing to imagine.
"And as you can see the gardens are extremely beautiful during the winter and autumn." The woman said motioning around her with her arms.
It was beautiful but it was very expensive, Alex was still deep in the conversation when an idea suddenly struck her, she knew someone who had a big country house with a massive garden just like this one, Lena had offered her brother's mansion but (Y/n) had not been sure about accepting but now faced with the reality of the value of such a place, maybe she should put it forward as her choice.
"And how did you two meet?" The short plump woman asked, her smile stretching wide she was friendly but when she spoke of money she smiled even brighter.
Alex shifted on her feet nervously, her hands in her back pockets, it was a really crazy thing to explain to a stranger.
"She arrested me." (Y/n) answered her own big smile plastered across her face as she threaded her hands through Alex's arms.
"Excuse me, she arrested you? and now you are getting married." The woman gaped, she'd met her husband at a bowling alley, he'd been bowling not arresting anyone least of all her.
" It's not like it sounds. " Alex flushed. "It was a misunderstanding."
" Yeah, she was a stubborn jackass who wouldn't admit she was wrong. " (Y/n) laughed.
"Err.. yeah." Alex rubbed the back of her neck, wondering why the hell ( Y/n) had woken up with the exclusive idea of making her day even more awkward than it already was.
"But fortunately for me, I like stubborn jackasses with cute smiles and big hearts." I won't mention fantastic butts and who are dynamite in the sack, that sounds really unsophisticated and classless, but they are included too.
Alex found herself unable to stop her own smile appear, her cheeks stained red at the praise, it was really something to tell people the knew about how they felt but sometimes telling a stranger was hard to explain, there was always the fear they would never understand, but (Y/n) had just ploughed in uncaring for such things.
"Can I just have a little word with my fiance." ( Y/n) asked the woman who nodded and turned away, flicking through her papers, as (Y/n) pulled Alex further away.
"What is it?" Alex asked. " You don't like it here? "
"No, it's just this is really pricey Alex, and I didn't tell you but Lena already offered Lex's mansion for our wedding, it's really beautiful there, he's an evil genius but he had really good taste, well in houses not everything else of course, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to kill Lena, we all know this universal fact if you hate Lena Luthor you have no taste and no class, she's a sweet darling." ( Y/n) whispered confidently.
Alex thought for a moment she wasn't sure the fee here was something they could willingly afford, especially if she wanted them to save up for a house. "So is her offer still open?"
(Y/n) chuckled. "It's Lena, the woman with the biggest heart in the world, her offers are never closed, especially when your fiance, Alex, is her only cool family member."
"That's twice you've said that now, I was beginning to think you had kept forgetting," Alex said affectionately, running her finger along (Y/n)'s cheekbone
"Nope, never just always seems like a wonderful dream, and I'm not used to the word." (Y/n) moved closer into her warm body wishing they were alone.
"Lex's mansion is it big enough for all of us? Kara had this idea and I kinda like it, of inviting Barry and Iris, Oliver and Felicity and Sara..." Alex let the name trail from her tongue as she turned her head from her fiance's reaction.
(Y/n) narrowed her eyes aflame lighting up inside them. "You mean the Sara Lance you went driving miss daisy with?"
" Driving Miss Daisy what does....oh, (Y/n) you are inviting your ex and you had a relationship with her. " Alex shrugged.
"I had a relationship with Sara because of you, but I don't want to be standing at the altar with her ravenous blue eyes eating you up as she remembers eating you out." (Y/n) said far too loudly, the woman turned around to face them, curiosity in her eyes to know more of the gossip they were revealing.
"(Y/n) keep your voice down." Alex hissed self consciously, but a part of her felt satisfaction that (Y/n) was jealous, even just a little bit. "I'm gonna tell you what you've told me from the day we got back together, it doesn't matter what they do, I'm not interested."
" I knew that would come back to bit me in the ass. " (Y/n) complained, letting out a kong frustrated breathe. "Fine but mark my words, two Sara Lances in one place is just asking for trouble, but for the record, mine is still better than yours."
" I'd rather just have you. " Alex smirked mischievously.
"Oh, you do, but I'm warning you we already have to deal with having Cat and Lois in the same space,." ( Y/n) smiled before walking past her, Alex left with the realization that their wedding may be the most complicated event since the Cuban missile crisis.
"Crap, we're going to need a referee and a timeout step," Alex whispered to herself before running to catch up with (Y/n).

There was always one thing (Y/n) would miss about not having her powers, it was an odd thing but she missed the sensation of being cold yet only on the nights that she crept along the floor on her tiptoes, Alex already sat in bed the covers pulled up to her waist as she read from her book.
(Y/n) missed that sensation of crawling under the covers and cuddling up to Alex's soothing body heat. Fortunately, this hadn't stopped her doing that.
With Bear curled up at the bottom of Alex's feet (Y/n) drew nearer to Alex, the relief of having her Alex back was immense, this was the type of sweet nights she loved, lost in a cozy blanket of happiness that seemed heavenly.
"I love being like this." (Y/n) sighed happily.
"What surgically attached to me while I try to read?" Alex asked amused, the feel of ( Y/n)'s hand making circles on her stomach under the covers tickled.
"I'll always be by your side, Alex, I promise it." (Y/n) smiled snuggling closer.
"Good, I like that."
"Or under you, or on top of you, or..." (Y/n) continued.
"Okay, (Y/n) I get it." Alex chuckled.
"Just making my position clear."
Alex smiled leaning down a little to kiss the top of (Y/n)'s head. "Yeah, I got that."
"Oh, I forgot to say, I called Lena I got her message but I think she may have Kara tied to the bed because she was not answering and.."
"Okay, (Y/n) I get it, she is my sister you know." Alex gasped with mortification.
"What, it's funny to think about, what are you reading?"
"Just some science stuff, you wouldn't be interested." Alex shrugged going back to her book.
(Y/n) frowned pouting petulantly. "That's unfair you know I think your science talk is sexy as hell, you can't deprive me of the opportunity to get more of that action, come on it's been ages since you last did it."
Alex paused lowering her book, instead, she recalled what Kara had said about the job and she wanted to know. "I will if you tell me what's been happening with you lately."
(Y/n) frowned. "You know what's happening, get attacked by Phantoms, had a sister, got PTSD, my fiancé was possessed and my cousin attacked with red K, just a very average few weeks in my life, nothing big or life-changing."
Alex sighed. "I mean your new job."
(Y/n) raised herself onto her elbow their gazes connecting. " What new job?"
"The one Kara told me Lena gave you." Why aren't you telling me about it?
"Alex I don't know what you are talking about Lena hasn't given me any job, I'm still very much an unemployed redundant Super, spending her days watching daytime tv." (Y/n) replied sarcastically, the days were getting to blend together.
"Lara said that Lena had offered you a job and you took it," Alex said softly.
(Y/n) laughed, throwing her head back. "And you think I would take a job without telling you? Come on Al you are crazy, how would I keep it a secret, sneak out every morning and pretend to take up jogging g in the evenings when you aren't back late."
Alex released a long deep breath, suddenly she was very relieved to have been wrong.
(Y/n) smirked moving closer. "Now, you should read to me from your sexy geek book."
"I don't think anyone has ever called bioengineering sexy." Alex laughed.
"They've just never met you before, that's their problem Alex, now read to me." (Y/n) purred her voice as thick and sweet as honey.
"Don't get too used to what you are thinking about, we have a very impressionable puppy with us." Alex pointed to Bear his gentle snores filling the room.
(Y/n) sighed. "This is like having kids, one day we won't be able to have sex at all, we'll be too busy with annoying but adorable little Alex kids." Sulking back into her place beside Alex she pulled out her cell phone and shifted through her Twitter. "Have you seen this? National City is going nuts they hate aliens right now, because of the phantoms destroying it, we really gotta get rid of them before a mob attacks us with torches and pitchforks."
Alex smirked as she leaned across for a moment to see the screen, "It will be fine don't worry, Supergirl will do something and they will love her again."
"What about the rest of us? and hello Alex I'm out of action, I may very well have to move to Gotham at this point and move in with Batwoman." (Y/n) said sarcastically.
"Okay, I'll come and visit you on weekends." Alex shrugged going back to her book.
(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "Come on we all know you are jealous, it's what helped break you out of your little possession nightmare."
Alex faced her. "Yes, but we've already established that you find me hotter and more attractive than Batwoman so trading me in for Batwoman would be like ordering a cheap burger when you have expensive Wagyu steak."
"And you are Wagyu steak are you?" (Y/n) asked amused.
"You know it." Alex shrugged confidently.
(Y/n) smiled happily. "I love you too much."
