Infuriating New Girl

Kara and Lena spend a few more minutes alone together in Kara’s bedroom in her childhood home. The two women just drink each other in, giving each other some tender kisses while hugging in each other’s arms on the bed. Of course the two want to do more than just kiss, but after all Eliza is downstairs and neither of them want to make any noise for Kara’s mother to hear. That would be a pretty mortifying start to their marriage, or start to their realisation of their marriage.

“Hmmm...” Lena hums, “We should go downstairs and see Eliza.”

Kara pulls Lena closer.

“Wanna stay here.” Kara softly moans as she pulls Lena even closer to her.

Lena giggles.

“I know love. But Eliza has been very worried about you. She deserves to know you’re okay now, and about our wedding.” Lena says.

Kara sighs.

“Fine.” Kara says in a huff, “I guess you’re right.” 

Lena smiles as the two untangle themselves and begin to get up from the bed.

“I promise I’ll make it up to you when we have some time alone...... when we can’t be heard.” Lena grins and plants a quick kiss on Kara’s lips.

Kara groans.

“I wish you wouldn’t say things like that right before we’re about to go see Eliza!” Kara huffs.

Lena just giggles as she makes her way to the bedroom door. The two women walk out of the bedroom and walk hand in hand down the stairs. They continue to walk like this right into the living room where Eliza is sitting.

“Oh, hello girls.” Eliza smiles, noticing the two women holding hands, but not saying anything.

“Hey, Eliza.” Kara says awkwardly.

Lena just rubs her thumb over the back of Kara’s hand to soothe her as she guides her to the couch alongside Eliza.

“Eliza, I think you deserve to know what’s going on.” Lena says nervously.

Eliza studies the two for a moment in silence.

“No, I don’t. It’s okay if neither of you want to tell me about it. It’s just good to see you’re both happy now.” Eliza says.

“We are.” Kara replies, “But you deserve to know what’s going on. I want to tell you.”

Eliza just smiles and nods her head.

Kara looks nervously at Lena so Lena decides to start.

“So I know you figured out that Kara and I have been..... sleeping together.” Lena says as she cringes having to say this to Kara’s adoptive mother. 

Eliza nods again.

“Anyway. I won’t go into details as we’d be here all day, but Kara developed feelings for me. She expressed them to me and like an idiot I rejected them. I was just trying to burry my feelings deep down due to my screwed up childhood. In doing so I really hurt Kara. I think I even hurt her more because she even called me on the fact that I was just denying my feelings for her.” Lena explains.

Kara is now the one to gently rub Lena’s hand to soothe her.

“As you can tell things got worse, which resulted in Kara coming back here. On Friday evening I finally realised I’m in love with Kara and I’d been denying it. So yesterday I went to find Kara but Winn told me she’d left for Midvale. As a result I chased her here by driving all the way. All I knew was that I had to tell Kara how I felt about her, even if she decided to reject me in return.” Lena explains again.

“Lena then told me everything and we had a talk and...... we’re together now.” Kara smiles happily as she looks from Eliza to her wife.

Eliza breaks out into a large smile.

“That’s great! I’m so happy for you both.” Eliza smiles as she moves in for a hug.

“Wait!” Kara says, gesturing with her hand for Eliza to stop. “There’s something else.”

Eliza gets a frown of confusion on her face. Kara then looks at Lena and Lena gives her a reassuring nod to go ahead.

“A few weeks ago we were in Vegas for our debate team championship. After we won we got really drunk. Anyway, Lena only just found out that...... we got married.” Kara says, nervously.

“What?!” Eliza says shocked.

Kara flinches in her seat. Lena decides to bite the bullet for Kara with Eliza’s presumed anger.

“Yes. I received our marriage certificate in the mail and it must have got stuck inside my mail box because my roommate only found it the other day. But this is my fault, don’t blame Kara.” Lena says nervously as well.

Eliza is silent again for a moment as she looks between the two women.

“I’m not angry dear. I’m.... surprised is all..... Are you going to..... get a divorce?” Eliza asks.

“No.” Kara replies firmly, “We spoke about it and we both realised that we like the idea of being married to each other. We’ve said that in the future we can still propose to each other if we want and have a second real wedding, that we remember.”

“Well..... if you are both happy, then I’m happy for you. Welcome to the family Lena.” Eliza smiles.

Eliza stands up and moves so she is standing in between the married couple. She then gestures for both women to stand up and hug her. Kara nods at Lena as she looks at her nervously. The two then stand up and are met by a big hug from Eliza.

Kara and Lena spend a whole week in Midvale. During the time Kara shows Lena around her childhood home town, going on many romantic walks. They also go to the grocery store to thank the old lady who gave Lena the Danvers’ address. Then of course when they have the house to themselves Kara and Lena have great passionate sex. The only other person who knows about their marriage is Eliza. The couple decided they’d tell their friends when they get back to National City. All they tell them in the meantime is that they are together now, are very happy, and will return home soon.

Eventually the week in Midvale comes to an end and Kara and Lena drive back to National City. As they leave Eliza gives them a tub of brownies she made and gives them each a big hug. Of course Kara ate most of the brownies on the drive back, although she made sure to shove a few in Lena's face while she was driving.

On their drive back to National City the new couple take a leisurely pace, stopping at all the places Lena stopped at on her way up to Midvale, even the shitty motel which they make good use of. But eventually Kara and Lena arrive back in National City.

Lena pulls up to the drive of her home she shares with Sam and Ruby. She is glad to be home, but at the same time she doesn’t want to part from Kara.

“We’re back.” Lena smiles.

“Yeah.” Kara grins.

“I can.... I can drive you home to your place if you’d like.” Lena says, trying to hide her sad tone.

Kara gets a confused look on her face.

“What? Why would I go back to my place? Unless...” Kara says confused.

“Unless what?” Lena asks, just as confused.

“Uhmm..... I guess we haven’t spoke about it..... but uhmm...... unless you don’t want to live with me?” Kara says nervously, “Because to be clear I’d really like to live with my wife from now on. But I understand if you don’t want that yet, or ever.”

Lena replies by taking Kara in for a passionate kiss. Kara kisses Lena back, taking Lena’s kiss to mean she does want to live with Kara.

“Of course I want to live with you. I just thought you might not want to live with me.” Lena says.

Kara laughs.

“Of course I do!”

Lena grins.

“Maybe we should get our own place then. It might be a bit weird with us living with Sam and Ruby or Winn and James.” Lena suggests.

“Yeah. I’d like that. But no rush. Maybe we can look for a place over the summer. In between my CatCo internship of course. In the mean time maybe we can just live here as you guys have a bit more room. If that's okay with Sam and Ruby that is.” Kara says.

Lena smiles.

“Yes that sounds like a great idea! Wait! CatCo internship?! So you’re going to accept it?” Lena asks.

“Yes. Cat emailed me while you were asleep last night in the motel. I replied back that I’d do it.” Kara smiles.

“That’s great Kara! I’m so happy.” Lena smiles.

“Yeah. Thank you for doing that.” Kara says.

“No. It was my fault you lost out on the university one. You deserved it.” Lena replies.

“I..... can we just not speak about it anymore?” Kara suggests.

“Yeah. That’s fine by me.” Lena says with a small smile.

“Anyway, we should go in and tell Sam the news.” Kara says.

“Yeah. I’m sure Alex is probably here as well.” Lena adds.

Kara smiles at Lena.

“Ready?” Kara asks.

“Always.” Lena smiles.

Kara and Lena get out of Lena’s rented car and head inside. A few seconds after they enter the house they are greeted by Ruby running towards them.

“Aunt Lena!!! Aunt Kara!!” Ruby yells happily as she crashes into both of their legs, taking a leg from each woman for a hug at the same time.

“Hey darling.” Lena smiles.

“Hey there Ruby.” Kara grins.

“I missed you both soooooo much!” Ruby says.

“We missed you too darling.” Lena replies.

Ruby then looks up between Kara and Lena.

“Aunt Lena?” Ruby asks.

“Yes?” Lena replies.

“Did you and aunt Kara make up? Did you say you're sorry?” Ruby asks so innocently.

“Yes she did.” Kara says, replying for Lena with a big grin.

Ruby breaks out into another big smile.

“That’s good.” Ruby nods.

Kara and Lena are then lead into the kitchen by Ruby. Inside they see Sam and Alex attempting to make a cake, mixing the ingredients with an electric whisk. Clearly the two didn’t hear them come in. Alex is the first to spot them.

“Oh my god!” Alex says as she quickly runs over to take Kara in for a hug.

Sam turns off the whisk and moves over to greet the two women as well.

“Hey guys!” Sam smiles as she takes Lena in for a hug and then Kara. Meanwhile Alex hugs Lena, much to Lena’s surprise seeing as Alex was yelling at her the last time she saw her.

“You have to tell us everything!! You didn’t give us enough details on the phone.” Alex says.

“Sure.” Kara smiles as she lovingly looks at Lena and grabs her hand.

Kara and Lena spend the next 20 minutes explaining everything that they went through and how they got to where they are. They did however leave out the marriage part. They were going to save that until last.

“I’m so happy for you two.” Sam smiles.

“There’s something else.” Lena adds.

Alex frowns.

“What else?” Alex asks.

“Uhmm can we all sit down for this?” Kara suggests.

Sam now looks at Alex and frowns, confused.

“Sure....” Sam says unsure.

“Ruby should be here as well.” Lena adds.

“Right.... I’ll go get her. Why don’t you all take a seat in the living room.” Sam says.

Alex, Lena and Kara head into the living room and all take a seat. A few minutes later Sam and Ruby join them. Sam still has a curious look on her face while Ruby has a big smile. Sam sits next to Alex while Ruby decides to sit right next to Kara who is next to Lena.

“So what did you guys want to say?” Alex finally says.

“Right.” Lena nods, “Sam, you know that envelope you gave me and you thought might have been stuck to the inside of our mail box for a while?” 

“Yeah.” Sam nods.

“Well it was. I opened it and..... it was a marriage certificate. Kara and I got married...... in Vegas..... while drunk..... we just don’t remember it.” Lena explains.

Sam and Alex go wide eyed with this information. Ruby however has a different reaction.

“Yes!!!!” Ruby squeals as she hugs Kara. “Does this mean you’re my other god mommy, aunt Kara?” 

“Uhhh....” Kara says, awkwardly.

“Ruby, they got married by mistake. I’m sure they are going to get......... unmarried.” Sam says.

Ruby gets a sad look on her face as a result of this.

“No we’re not.” Kara says quickly.

“What?!” Alex asks, surprised.

“We spoke, and we decided that we like that we are married. In fact we both love the idea, and hate the idea of getting a divorce. So we are going to remain married.” Kara explains.

“Yes, and in the future if we stay together we can still propose to each other again and have a 'real' wedding.” Lena adds.

Sam and Alex remain silent for a moment.

“Yess!!!!” Ruby squeals again, this time jumping on Kara and Lena’s laps.

Kara and Lena hug Ruby together and then place her between the two of them.

“Wow.... that’s.... a lot to take in.” Sam says.

“Yeah.... are you.... are you both sure? A marriage is a lot so soon in you guys just realising how you feel.” Alex says.

“We know. But I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life.” Kara smiles as she looks at Lena.

“Me neither.” Lena smiles back.

“Well then congratulations!” Sam smiles.

“Yeah.... congrats, both of you.” Alex says, sounding less sure.

Kara notices Alex’s tone and decides she needs to fix it. She needs to assure her sister that she wants this.

“Al, can we talk in the kitchen for a second?” Kara suggests.

“Uhh.... sure.” Alex nods.

Sam gives Alex a reassuring smile as Alex stands up and heads into the kitchen with her sister.

“Alex, I know you’re not sure about this, but I am. I promise I’m really happy, and I want to say married to Lena.” Kara says.

Alex just looks at Kara for a moment.

“Are you really sure?” Alex asks.

“Yes, I am. Really. This isn’t me getting swept up in my emotions and making a rash decision. This is me making a decision that’s good for me. I love Lena. I’ve never felt this way about anyone else in the word. Whenever I’m with Lena I’m happier, she just makes me happy. She makes me a better person when I’m with her, and I believe I do the same for her. So I really want to stay married. I know it’s not ideal, but I do want this.” Kara explains, hoping her sister will come around.

“I.....” Alex says and then sighs, “If you’re sure then.... I’m happy for you both. I really am. Congratulations.”

Alex then takes Kara in for a big hug. A few minutes later Kara and Alex return to the living room. Lena and Sam give Kara and Alex a big smile.

“Well I think this calls for a celebration!” Sam announces.

“Wait!” Lena says, “There’s something else.”

“Okay?” Sam asks, unsure.

“Yeah. Actually it’s the reason why we wanted Ruby here. Lena and I don’t want to live apart from each other, so we are going to move in together.” Kara says.

“Yes. If it’s okay with you Sam, and you Ruby. Kara and I are going to live here until the summer then we’ll find an apartment to live in.” Lena says.

“Of course it’s okay with me!” Sam smiles.

Lena and Kara then looks to Ruby who looks upset.

“Ruby?” Lena asks.

Ruby looks up at Lena and has tears in her eyes, they break Lena’s heart.

“I don’t want you to leave.” Ruby cries.

“Oh darling.” Lena says as she takes Ruby in for a hug.

“We’re not going to be leaving just yet. For the next few months we’ll live here with you and your mom. Then sometime after we’ll move out. But you’ll still see us all the time though.” Kara says.

Ruby pulls away from Lena and looks at Kara.

“Promise?” Ruby asks, innocently.

“Promise.” Kara and Lena say in unison.

Ruby wipes away her tears and begins to smile.

“I guess that means we’ll have to find a new place as well.” Sam says.

“No. You can stay here Sam.” Lena says.

“I can’t do that Lena. This is your house.” Sam protests.

“Uhhh actually.... it’s yours.” Lena explains.

“What?!” Sam asks, surprised.

“When I bought the house I had you put your name on the deed to it. A few weeks ago I took my name off of it. The house is solely yours.” Lena smiles.

“Lena I..... I....” Sam says unsure.

Lena stands up and takes Sam in for a hug.

“You don’t have to say anything Sam. You’re an amazing person, an even better friend and a phenomenal mother, you deserve this.” Lena says

“I.... thank you Lena. I love you.” Sam says.

“I love you too Sam.” Lena smiles.

“I love you both!” Ruby smiles and runs over to the two to join the hug.

A few moments later the women part with big smiles. The group then begin to celebrate with some wine and cupcakes that Sam has made with the help of Alex. After about 30 minutes Sam notices Ruby with a thoughtful look on her face.

“What’s on your mind hun?” Sam asks.

“Uhhmmmm..... if aunt Lena and aunt Kara are moving out...... can Alex move in?” Ruby asks, innocently.

“What?!” Sam asks, surprised.

Lena, Kara and Alex are just as surprised as Sam. 

“Can Alex move in?” Ruby asks again.

Alex moves over to sit next to Ruby, leaving Ruby between herself and Sam.

“Why do you ask that little one?” Alex asks.

“Cause you both love each other, don’t you?” Ruby asks.

“Uhh yeah.” Alex nods, so does Sam.

“Can’t you move in then Alex? I want another mommy.” Ruby says.

Those last few words give Alex such a surprise, then at the same time it makes Alex feel so happy. Alex can’t help but cry.

“Ruby. Are you sure about that?” Sam asks nervously biting her lip, tears in her eyes as well.

“Yes.” Ruby says to Sam and then turns to Alex once more. “Will you Alex?”

Alex looks down at Ruby and nods.

“If it’s okay with your mom, then of course I will!” Alex says.

Ruby quickly looks at Sam who just nods yes in response. Ruby leaps into Alex’s arms.

“Yes!!!!!!” Ruby yells as she hugs Alex.

Alex sobs again and hugs Ruby tight.

“I love you Ruby, so much.” Alex says.

Sam, Lena and Kara also cry as a result of this touching moment.

Almost five years later.

Kara is nervous. Today she will be conducting a really important interview. In fact it’s the biggest interview that Cat has ever given her since she joined CatCo after she graduated.

Kara walks into the L-Corp building. It’s Kara’s first time visiting. Kara is well aware that L-Corp is the rebranded name of Luthor Corp after Lex Luthor finally snapped a few years ago. In response Lena took over and has been trying to reinvigorate the company ever since. Funnily enough the building that L-Corp now occupies is the same building that Kara and Lena went to that New Year's Eve party over five years ago. Kara nervously checks in at reception and then makes her way to the elevator. Today she is going to be interviewing the L-Corp CEO, Lena Luthor.

As the elevator begins its ascension to Lena’s office Kara fiddles with her fingers. She looks down and sees the absence of her wedding ring. As a result tears come to Kara’s eyes. Kara tries to shake the tears. She promised herself that she would not get emotional, she would just get through with the interview Cat asked her to do, she’d just put her emotions to the side for a moment. The elevator door then open and Kara is greeted by Lena’s assistant, Jess. Jess quickly uses the intercom to inform Lena that Kara has arrived.

“You may head on in.” Jess smiles.

Kara nods and heads to the door, tears begin to appear once more. As she gets closer and closer she feels her emotions overwhelming her, with all her might she holds back a sob. As Kara gets right to the door she takes a deep breathe to compose herself and then heads inside.

“Hey Lena.” Kara says with a forced smile.

“Hello Kara.” Lena smiles back.

Kara approaches Lena and can’t hold her tears back anymore so she just breaks down sobbing. Lena quickly gets out of her seat and moves over to hug Kara.

“Oh darling? What’s wrong?” Lena asks.

“I lost my wedding ring!” Kara sobs.

“Oh darling I’m sorry. I have it. I had a whole plan for this evening, but if I knew you’d be like this I’d have never taken it.” Lena says.

“Then why’d you take it?” Kara sobs.

Lena pulls away from Kara.

“Because I wanted to do this.” Lena says and then gets down on one knee, retrieving Kara’s wedding ring from her pocket. “Kara Danvers, I love you more than anything. Today marks five years since we drunkenly got married in Vegas. Over the last five years we’ve both been through so much, but with you by my side everything has been so much easier. You make me so happy and I love you. So this time I want to propose to you so we can have an actual wedding that we remember. So, will you marry me?”

“Of course I will!” Kara say as she falls to her knees and takes Lena in for a kiss. “I love you so much.”

Lena slips the wedding ring back in place on Kara’s finger and takes her in for a kiss. After this the two women spend the next few minutes hugging and kissing each other having moved over to the couch. Eventually Kara and Lena part, both wiping their faces for the tears they’ve cried. As they part Kara takes a good look at Lena’s office for the first time. It looks exactly the same as the office they had sex in over 5 years ago on New Year’s Eve, just with some different furniture. However Kara knows for a fact that that office was much lower down in the building.

“Is this.... the same office from New Year's?” Kara asks.

Lena smiles at Kara.

“Sort of. I had fond memories of that office, so I basically had it remodelled, and the same design done up here. I’m sorry you haven’t seen it yet. I know we both have been busy with work.” Lena explains.

“Yeah. The whole building looks amazing, by the way. Your renovations look great!” Kara smiles.

“Thank you. I can’t take all the credit though. Sam had a lot of input.” Lena explains.

Kara laughs.

“I’m well aware. I was right there while you and Sam spent several evenings arguing over the redesigns. Alex, Ruby and I found it quite amusing.” Kara smiles.

“I’m pretty sure you guys only found it amusing because it gave you all a chance to go sneak off and eat a bunch of junk food together.” Lena smirks.

Kara grins mischievously.

“What can I say? We had no supervision so we took our chances.” Kara smiles.

Lena laughs.

“Technically you are supposed to be Ruby’s godmother and Alex IS Ruby’s mom.” Lena says.

“Yeah. But we both know that you and Sam are the boring lame follow the rule wives. Me and Alex are the cool wives.” Kara smiles.

Lena laughs again.

“Whatever you say.” Lena scoffs.

Kara grins and takes Lena in for another kiss.

“So what brings you here anyway. I thought we weren’t going to meet here for lunch until tomorrow?” Lena asks.

“Right.” Kara nods, recomposing herself. “Cat sent me to interview you. She said that she is finally calling in that exclusive interview that you owe her. Whatever that means.”

Lena laughs.

“Of course she is. I knew she’d never forget that. I’m honestly surprised she doesn’t want to conduct it herself though.” Lena says.

“I think she thinks that you’ll be more open to your wife interviewing you, and maybe let something slip that you wouldn’t normally.” Kara says.

Lena laughs again.

“Yeah, that’s probably true.” Lena nods.

“So can we get started?” Kara asks.

“Of course. Actually wait!” Lena says suddenly, “While it’s on my mind. Eve and Winn need to know if we want the chicken or the fish for their wedding dinner?”

“Oh.... uhhh..... I’ll take the chicken.” Kara says.

“Great. I’ll let Eve know we both want the chicken then.” Lena smiles.

“Yeah. Can you believe that they are really getting married?” Kara says.

“I know. When they first got together I thought that maybe Eve was just trying to be with Winn to get over you. But I know she really does love Winn.” Lena replies.

“Yeah. And I remember when they started going out how Winn told me how he’d been in love with Eve for years, since they first met. He just never did anything about it because he thought she was gay, not bi.” Kara says.

Lena laughs.

“To be fair Eve thought she was gay at the time. It wasn’t until after you that she slept with everyone with a pulse to get over you and realised she didn't just like women.” Lena says.

“Yeah. I’m just glad they are happy now.” Kara smiles.

“Me too. I think Brainy and Nia will be next.” Lena says.

“Really? What about us?” Kara asks with a frown.

Lena giggles.

“We’re already married darling.” Lena grins.

“Well maybe I want to get a divorce just so we can actually remarry again.” Kara says.

“You wouldn’t dare.” Lena replies.

“Why not?” Kara asks with a smirk.

Lena closes the distance between herself and Kara so they can feel each other’s breaths. Lena doesn’t however kiss her wife. She makes sure that their lips are about an inch apart as they stare into each other’s eyes.

“Because if we did get a divorce I have no intention of sleeping with you out of wedlock.” Lena explains.

Kara’s eyes go wide.

“We shouldn’t divorce then!” Kara says quickly.

Lena smiles widely and takes Kara in for a passionate kiss. The two eventually shift so Kara is laying down with her back to the couch and Lena on top of her kissing her. Lena soon begins to tug at Kara’s clothing.

“Wait!! What about the interview?” Kara asks.

“You can interview me later. For now I want you to fuck me.” Lena says.

Kara gulps, still turned on when Lena is so forceful with what she wants.

“Okay.” Kara nods and begins kissing Lena again.

Lena and Kara kiss passionately for a while all the while removing each other’s clothes. By this point they have done this so many times they don’t even have to look to remove the clothes from one another.

“I love you Lena.” Kara says as she briefly parts from Lena.

“And I love you too Kara, more than I ever thought was possible.” Lena replies and then takes Kara back in for a passionate kiss.
