"Always remember that

"YOU ARE LOVED EVERY DAY."

Not only on Valentine's Day."

Two Days till Valentines

The oak door swung open and Lucy entered a dark room. Her eyes adjusted slowly, and she smiled as her ears heard the distinct Irish lilt of Lena Arias-Luthor from across the room.

"In the corner, Lucy, over here!" Lena called out, waving as her friend and chief legal counsel looked towards her.

A smile came to the red lips of the dark-haired, well-dressed woman as she made her way across the room and took an empty seat at the table. "Where's Sam?" she asked as she placed her bag under her chair.

"Bringing our fourth. They should be here in a few minutes," Lena answered with a smile.

Behind Lucy, over the bar, Supergirl flashed on the screen, and she turned, gripping the table so hard her knuckles were white. Lena noticed and smirked as another puzzle piece clicked into place.

"Supergirl was seen over Naples today, battling a group of superpowered monsters. The Girl of Steel won of course, but as you can see from the following footage, the aliens did get in a couple of shots on National City's favorite daughter," the reporter stated in a boring monologue that caused Lucy's face to redden.

"Lucy, darling, you are going to break the table if you keep worrying about Kara like that, she can take care of herself," Lena whispered, placing a palm softly over Lucy's taunt fist.

"I can't even call her right now, because she is working with a DEO team," Lucy let the information slip before she even realized what she was saying. She turned and looked at Lena, her mouth open in shock. "Oh God, Alex is going to kill me."

Shaking her head, and taking a sip of her red wine, "Relax Luce, I figured it out weeks ago, you just confirmed it by your reaction to the news. And Alex and Maggie are almost as bad at hiding things as you and Kar." She let out a short giggle, "Does she know how much you worry?" Lena was listening but noticed the arrival of her wife and Maggie Sawyer.

"Normally, no. I'm allowed behind the curtain, so I know what is going on, but this time is different because she is working with Al and her troops out of the country," Lucy admitted as her head fell and rested in her palms.

She looked up, as a glass of amber liquid was placed on the table in front of her. She smiled into the light brown eyes of the newly arrived Maggie Sawyer. "You saw the news, I take it?"

Lucy nodded, wrapping nervous fingers around the cut crystal glass, looking at the diamond on Maggie's left ring finger and then catching Lena and Sam kissing out of the corner of her eye. "I haven't even told her those three little words yet."

Three sets of eyes pinned Lucy to her spot at the table.

Maggie sat heavily, "has she said it to you?" Then she took a sip of her whiskey,

"Of course she has, it's Kara. She loves everyone," Lucy answered, hiding her eyes from the three women and swirling the liquid around in her tumbler.

Maggie looked directly at Lucy, "Hey, Lane! Look at me?" Lucy's green eyes rose from the table, and she found herself trapped in Maggie's gaze, "Last year she helped me plan Valentine's day for Alex, because it meant so much to my fiance"

"Kara told me about that, she absolutely glowed while telling me how adamant you were against it and how well it went," Lucy smiled, wondering where this was going.
