Dove Too Deep

Chapter 21

The next seventeen months went extraordinarily well. It was filled with date nights, cuddles, kisses, romantic gestures for any and all special days (i.e. 'Sweetest Day,' 'National Girlfriend Day,' 'Significant Other Day,' 'Lingerie Day,' Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and many many many more).

Two months after they'd begun their relationship, they had come out to the public through an interview with Ellen DeGeneres (Anyone else just wouldn't make sense for this. Ellen & Portia and Kara & Cat were now the two most iconic lesbian couples in the world.) The LGBT Icon handled the situation elegantly and was remarkably able to hit every single point that Cat had wanted her to hit. Kara had been extremely nervous, and Ellen had eased her worries without a second thought. Then (much to Cat's chagrin) Ellen had insisted that they played 'Never Have I Ever.'

Six months into the relationship, she had met Eliza Danvers, who, to Cat's horror, was a year younger than her. Eliza, who had seemed to be wary of Cat's intentions at first, seemed to warm up to her by the end of the weekend they had spent in Kara's hometown of Midvale.

Over the course of eight months, Cat had slowly intertwined herself with Kara's tight-knit group of friends. Alex, (and now her wife), along with Winslow -who Kara had insisted Cat not call a Hobbit-, and Lena Luthor, who was still at times remarkably flirty with Kara regardless of her exclusive relationship with her secretary.

They had ludicrous amounts of game nights, and although Cat tried to feign being repulsed, she genuinely enjoyed seeing Kara so relaxed and happy during those nights. It was a rare occurrence to see Kara not worrying about something. To catch her not having that swirl of pain that came from losing an entire world; but those nights when she was laid back, and destroying everyone at 'The Game Of Life' (which she did in reality as well), Cat saw nothing but jubilation, and she'd never hate anything that brought that type of peace to the woman of her dreams.

About a year into the relationship, Alex had sat Cat down and told her that she wasn't against their relationship any longer, causing Cat to fight back a smirk and an acerbic comment about her 'having that effect on Danvers women'

Throughout the entirety of the past seventeen months, Cat and Kara had grown indestructible as a couple; they were almost never apart, and that was why, Cat had become confident enough to stand at the door of Alex Danvers' house, to ask one of the two most important questions of her life. The CEO inhaled deeply and knocked on the door.

After a few moments, Cat had raised her hand to knock again, only to be shocked by the door suddenly being swung ajar; revealing an irritated Alex Danvers. "It's three o'clock in the morning, Grant." The D.E.O agent grumbled sleepily. "What the hell?"

"Kara was wrapped around me like a comatose Koala bear." Cat offered, hoping that cleared things up, but when Alex's sleep-addled face seemed not to comprehend, Cat let out a huff and expounded. "It took me over two hours to be able to climb out of bed without disturbing Kara... she can't know that I came to you."

Alex's face showed comprehension, that quickly shifted to a captious glare. "What did you do now, Cat?"

Cat loved seeing Alex be so protective of Kara, even if it was against Cat herself. She grinned and shook her head. "For once, nothing... just... Needed to ask you something that I know I need your approval for before I go any further with."

Alex corrugated her brow and moved to the side of the door so that the older woman could enter the house. Once the door was shut behind the Queen Of All Media, Cat spoke again. "Where's the Missus?"

Alex waved her hand noncommittally. "Out of town on a business trip," Alex said as she plopped herself down onto the couch.

Cat understood that her statement was code for: 'In another timeline because she doesn't know how to tell Rip 'No.'' She could see the irritability on the brunette a mile away, so she decided to keep that bit of information to herself. "Right," Cat said with a curt nod as she sat herself on the loveseat opposite the unhappy and incredibly tired Agent.
