Every time.

I could ask you the same thing.

Three.

That's how many times I was roused up from nightmares. It's also the number of times Kara was there with her comforting words and and her delicate touch. She didn't make me feel like a such a big burden (although a part of me still felt embarrassed the times my eyes connected with her worried ones), or treat me like I was broken, she was understanding, she was patient...she was everything I needed her to be.

Her hand is still resting in my hair by the time I wake. Lifting my head up to look at her, I'm surprised to see that she's already awake.

"Morning." Kara calls out, a soft smile grazing her lips.

"Morning." I reply, returning her smile. "Thank you. For...everything." I remark. Kara's lips tip up higher at my words, before she moves her hand from my hair, to my cheek. Moving her thumb against my facial hair.

"You'd do the same for me. In fact you have done the same for me." Kara states, as she continues to stroke my beard. "This was nothing."

"Well it meant everything to me." I state, a dopey grin growing on my face.

"I love you." Kara mumbles simply, pressing her lips together to contain a growing smile.

"I love you too." I reply back, tightening my grip on her middle to be even closer to her, she chuckles at the gesture.

"We've got two hours before we need to head out to meet Lois and Kal." Kara remarks now resting her hands on the small of my back.

"Perfect. Does that mean that I get to lay here with you a little while longer?" I ask earning another chuckle from Kara.

"That's exactly what that means." Kara mumbles, letting her eyes slip close once more.

Kara's pov

"They should be here any second now." I remark. My gaze is locked on the Catco elevator which Kal and Lois should be walking out of any second now. Mon-El's hands are tucked into his front pockets they way they always are when he's feeling nervous or anxious. "Babe, I told you not to worry. You've already met him, and he was way more welcoming towards you than I was when we first met." I state earning a light chuckle from Mon-El.

"I know. I just—" Mon-El starts before releasing a soft sigh. He turns to me as he continues speaking. "—I just want him to like me." Mon-El admits, biting down at his bottom lip, as his eyes align with mine.

"He will. He does." I state, resting my hand on his arm. His body loosens at the touch.

"I really hope so." Mon-El mumbles, as he removes his other hand from his pockets and intertwines our fingers. His soft gaze, focusing on mine.

I don't know how long i've been entranced by Mon-Els gaze, but the sound of Kal's voice is what causes my attention to shift from Mon-El to him.

"Now if it isn't my favorite cousin." Kal booms as he walks towards me with open arms.

"I'm your only cousin." I remark as I move in for the hug.

"Well if your weren't, you'd probably still be my favorite." Kal remarks, as he pulls away.

"How promising." I joke as I turn my attention to Lois. "Hi!" I remark quickly, a quirky smiling gracing my lips.

"Hi!" Lois repeats, a chuckle leaving her lips as she pulls me in for a hug. "Ah, it's so good to see you!" She exclaims as she pulls away her hands resting on my shoulders.
