SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 80

"Okay, I see boxes, but nothing unpacked yet." Kara said when she returned to her apartment to find that while Lena's stuff had arrived while she was on her mission, it was still in boxes.

"It didn't feel right to unpack without you here. I mean, I moved my clothes into one side of the closet, but beyond that, I wanted to unpack with you here. Since this place is big, I don't think it can fit my stuff along with yours and while I love you, I don't want to live in a place that only feels like your home." Lena said.

"I get it. And you're right, this is not just my home anymore. It's yours too and you should feel at home in it. So we'll get your stuff unpacked and we'll get everything figured out." Kara said.

"Actually, what I was thinking was that while this penthouse is incredible, it's also kind of built as your bachelorette pad and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I was thinking that maybe we should find a new place of our own, just the two of us." Lena said and Kara could tell that Lena had thought a lot about this.

"You know I never used this place for what a lot of guys use their bachelor pads for right?" Kara asked, since while she wasn't opposed to the idea, she needed to know what kind of woman Lena thought she was.

"Don't worry, I know. And this isn't me doubting you or questioning your past. I know you well enough to know that you're not that kind of person. You're incapable of having those kinds of interactions with someone without being in a committed relationship to them. It's one of the things I love about you. It's just that it feels like this place will always only feel like your home, not our home." Lena said.

"I just wanted to make sure that you knew what kind of person I am, since you described my apartment as a bachelorette pad, you can't deny that it made me think you thought I could be like that." Kara said.

"I know and I'm sorry. That was poor wording, but I just needed to get the idea across. It's just that you designed this place only to accommodate you and Krypto. Even if we rearranged it with my stuff, it still wouldn't feel like home to me." Lena said and Kara nodded.

"I get it. And I think you're right. This place was great for when I was single and I'll admit, when I was dating, I brought a few of them back here, but they were never serious enough for me to commit like I've already committed to our relationship. Since we've already committed to living together, I don't see any reason that we shouldn't get a new place together. One designed for both of us. Well, us and Krypto." Kara said and Lena smiled.

"So, you're really okay with this?" Lena asked.

"I am. The only question is, should we get a new apartment or an actual house?" Kara asked.

"I vote for a house, since that way there's a yard for Krypto to play in." Lena said and Krypto barked his approval at that idea.

"Krypto agrees with you and so do I, since honestly, I'm amazed that none of my neighbors in this building that Supergirl lives here." Kara said.

"So, a place that's relatively private, like say, this lakehouse." Lena said as she pulled a flyer out of her purse and gave it to Kara, showing a real estate listing for a lakehouse in National City.

"You just happened to have this in your purse?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Are you really that surprised?" Lena asked.

"Not one bit. But this place does look perfect. It's relatively isolated, plenty of tree cover so I can come and go as Supergirl without drawing attention, a built-in pier on the lake, plenty of room for Krypto to run around in both the front and backyards and more than enough spare rooms. I assume we already have an appointment set up with the realtor tomorrow to actually see the place." Kara said.
