The Death of Supergirl

Epilogue part 1

3 Months After Kara's Return

Lena's POV

It's been three months since Kara returned from the dead and everyday I realize why I love her a little more. She asked if she could keep the apartment, since everyone thinks that she doesn't use it, it gives some semblance of privacy. She doesn't realize I bought the building. Don't judge, my girlfriend needs to be protected sometimes, she just won't admit it. The people of National City, hell, they whole world were so shocked to find out that Kara Danvers was Supergirl, and they decided that two jobs was one to many for her and they decided someone needed to make sure their heroes were taken care of. The government was going to get involved, but fortunately several major corporations came forward and decided that a trust should be set up to make sure the heroes would be able to live without having to worry about paying their rent. Kara was the first choice to receive a grant, but she just couldn't to it, plus her girlfriend is kinda rich, so her rent, utilities and food are covered, and her address is not in the public records thanks to the DEO.

Right now my wonderful girlfriend is in England with her sister, Alex Danvers, the Director of the DEO with the rest of her normal assault team taking down an alien menace that the normal DEO troops can't handle. Me, I'm currently in New York with my CFO Samantha 'Sam' Arias, worrying because is the biggest mission she has faced since coming back.

"Earth to Lena?"

"Oh sorry Sam, I was just thinking."

"About Kara?"

"Yes, how do you do it, you seem so calm, not knowing what is going on with Alex?"

"Oh I'm nervous, but I have had more time to adjust, and my better half didn't die protecting me.",she answered with a soft smile, "And Alex text me every day at the same time, to let me know she is thinking of me, and how she is doing."

"So does Kara. It's just hard."

"You are used to having control of your life Lena, and with Kara you can't always be there to make sure is getting all the support you think she needs. Do you two talk everyday?"

"Yes, and she reassures me everyday."

"She came back from the dead for you Lena, she is going to do everything she can to come back to you every mission. Not to mention you two created that kick ass new suit."

"I know Sam, I guess I am turning into an old worrywart."

"Nope, just a woman who finally found the one thing that was escaping her."

"Huh?"

"Love and happiness Lena. Kara gives you that."

"Yeah, she does.", Lena says smiling.

"So Lena, I have a huge favor to ask you."

"What's up Sam?"

"I'm ready to ask Alex a really important question."

"You're going to propose? Amazing, you two make a perfect couple. Does Ruby know?"

"Yes, thank you and yes, I already asked her if she minds Alex living with us all the time. Of course in typical Ruby speak, she said it was about time."

Lena giggled, "So what do you need my help with?"

"I need to go buy a ring and I want you to go with me."

"Okay, I don't mind, but why not Kara."

"Because I need to go to Tiffany's and Kara would freak out. Not to mention she has a terrible time keeping secrets from Alex."
