Ever After 2 (X Reader)

Unsweetly Home.

The silent room filled with the shrill grinding crunch of glass as (Y/n) closed her hand tighter around the glass. She'd wanted something, anything that could steal away the damning numbness she was feeling.

Everything was quiet, too quiet; their home was too big now it was just her. The silence seems to be mocking her as she leaned back against the back of the couch remembering the last time not long ago when she and Alex had cuddled together there. Bear cling closer to her, his big brown eyes looking up her almost as though he knew something was wrong, he'd seen the same expression in the eyes of his other mother. It wasn't good; it was his job to look after (Y/n) until his other mother returned to do it.

In the three days since Alex had lost her memory (Y/n) had tried to stay with her wife, tried to be of some use when she feared she was useless, but Alex had refused. Instead (Y/n) had found herself returning home alone with only Bear and Yogi for company they were terrific company but (Y/n) missed Alex, and she worried about her.

(Y/n) had not slept since the night before they'd found Lex, she'd hardly eaten, and her sole thought was Alex. The Super was facing another night alone.

(Y/n)'s mind went back to that afternoon, Kara had been with Lena, trying to get Connor fixed and (Y/n) had spotted her chance to try to spend some time alone with Alex, she had thought that by doing that things would feel as they had done between them and Alex wouldn't feel so afraid of her. It hadn't worked.

"Hey." (Y/n) smiled awkwardly the mask covering the top half of her face suddenly became uncomfortable it was weird seeing Alex only as Superwoman, but until they were allowed to bring Alex home here at the DEO Superwoman was all she could be.

"Hello," Alex replies stiffly; she'd been lounging on the bed reading a magazine until she'd seen Superwoman, then pulled the covers around her and shrunk under them as much as she could.

(Y/n) Rolled her eyes at her movement, her Alex never did that, her Alex threw off the covers and pulled her near. By the looks of things that would be a long time coming, if indeed it ever happened again.

"Hey." (Y/n) replied cringing at her inability to think of anything to say.

Alex lifted an eyebrow. "You said that already."

"Yep, Yep I did."

(Y/n) moved nearer to the bed sitting on the edge until she saw the look of dread on Alex's face, then like a chastised puppy who'd chewed up a new pair of slippers (Y/n) slid down o to the chair that sat by the side of the bed. "Sorry." (Y/n) said sadly, her eyes stung for want of tears.

Alex studied the masked woman, deep (e/c) eyes stood out from the blue sea material that surrounded them, full pale pink lips under attack from the relentless gnawing of her white teeth, as a soft, simple dimple sat at the center of her chin. She looked normal, nothing special why would she marry her? Was it all a con?

"So....." (Y/n) finally said.

Alex frowned waiting.

"Soooo...."

"Are you going to say anything beyond sooooo...?" Alex asked impatiently.

"Oh... yeah I....I...sooo...I mean..." (Y/n) stuttered fear rifling through her at the realization she's lost the ability to speak with her wife, she felt so stupid and useless.

"You did it again." Alex sighed.

"Yeah...I kinda forgot how to speak." (Y/n) laughed shyly.

"And you say we're married, yet you can't talk to me. How do I know you aren't lying trying to con me?" Alex asked suspiciously.

"Con you!" (Y/n)'s eyes grew big. "Why would I con you. I'm Superwoman? I can have anyone I want." (Y/n) hated the words the very moment they left her mouth but she couldn't take them back, they were out there in the world stabbing her half Kryptonian heart a thousand times.
