Chapter Text
Kara opened her eyes slowly, getting used to the sun hitting her face. She was rested, her body still pleasantly sore from the night before, her naked form lost in the sheets. She stirred, extending her arms above her head and searching for the warm body next to her. She found none. Frowning, she turned to face the other side of the bed. It was empty, but still warm, she hadn’t gone long ago. She heard the glass door from the balcony opening and looked to see Cat, with only an old t-shirt of Kara’s on.
« Finally awake, Princess? »
The girl smiled widely at the sight and stood to join her on the balcony, taking the sheet and making a robe out of it to cover her nudity. Cat smirked and walked back outside, turning her back to Kara. She was looking at the city in front of her, completely hypnotized by the view. She felt Kara’s strong arms circling her waist and her lips kissing her pulse point just under her ear. She sighed contently and leaned her head on the side to let her more access.
« Good morning, Mrs. Danvers-Grant. »
Cat chuckled and interlaced her fingers with Kara’s, their ring touching. Kara stopped kissing her and looked at the view, taking in for the first time the incredible sight since they had arrived late at night and had... other things in mind. The Eiffel Tower was watching them from all her high, giving them her blessing.
« It’s beautiful. »
Cat turned in her arms and kissed her deeply on the lips, looking straight into her eyes.
« Indeed. »
Kara blushed, Cat was always complimenting her but she never got used to it. She kissed her again, because she could never grow tired of these lips, Kara raised a hand to caress Cat’s cheek sweetly. As the kiss grew more needy and passionate, hands wandered everywhere, Cat taking off the sheet that her wife had around her body, not caring that they were on the top floor of an hotel, in the middle of Paris, with a street full of people.
It’s only after a few moans and the sound of a horn that they decided to retreat inside, laughing at their own daring behavior. Feeling free of everything, just them in Paris, where no one knew them. Anonymous.
There was a knock on the door that stopped them immediately.
« I forgot that I ordered breakfast for when you woke up... »
Kara chuckled, putting on a robe to open the door.
« You never forget anything, Cat. »
« You were distracting me. »
The girl smirked at that, opening the door to find a young boy around eighteen years-old, looking impressed and a bit nervous.
« Will you come in and put it in the living-room? »
The boy nodded, smiling shyly. He looked at Kara, obviously checking her out, not that the woman noticed it, but Cat did. So she put her hand on her hip and kissed her on the cheek, to show that the wonderful creature here, was hers.
« Thank you. »
She gave him a twenty euro bill and let him go.
« I hate when they do that. »
Kara started to look with hunger at everything.
« Who does what? »
« People, checking you out. Especially when you’re only wearing a satin robe which doesn’t leave anything to the imagination. »
The blonde blushed, holding the robe tighter against her but Cat put her hand on hers.
« Don’t, I love how it suits you. I just wish that they could keep their eyes to themselves. »
« You’re the one that I love, that’s not going to change anytime soon. »
Cat rolled her eyes but smiled, looking at the hour.
« We should call them before it’s too late. »
Kara pouted, pointing at the breakfast.
« No but, you’ll eat after. And if you behave... I might be inventive with the whipped cream. »
The Kryptonian’s eyes opened wide and she hurried to follow Cat to the laptop. A few minutes later, Carter and Alex appeared screen.
« Hi Mom, hey Kara! »
Both women smiled at him, waving at Alex who was sitting next to him. She noticed how little they were dressed but didn’t comment on it, they were on a honeymoon after all.
« How is Paris? »
« We arrived yesterday night, we didn’t really have time to visit yet. »
Alex laughed but Carter didn’t really understand or decided to ignore it. He just shrugged and smiled at his mother.
« You have to show her the Louvre and La Cité des Sciences! Oh and she will love Orsay too! »
« I know sweetheart, we’re going to do all of than, don’t worry. How is it to live with Alex? »
He smirked.
« Awesome! She told me to tell you that I ate a lot of vegetables but really, we only ate take-out food so far. »
Alex, who had gone only to take the cable for the computer, had heard everything.
« You traitor! There were vegetables in the Chinese one! »
They all laughed but Alex grumbled. She didn’t really know how to cook, only just the basics, and Carter was used to eating well, she preferred to order food than to make a fool of herself.
« And she showed me cool science tricks, too! »
Kara squealed at that and looked at her sister.
« You didn’t show him how to make the rocket, did you? »
She smirked and high fived Carter.
« I told you not to do that! »
She winked at her.
« That’s for not taking us to Paris with you. And you’ll have a little surprise when you’ll come home. »
It was Cat’s turn to be worried. Last time they had said that, they had found their bedroom entirely wrapped in plastic and aluminum paper.
« I knew we shouldn’t have left you two alone. He should have gone to your mother, at least Eliza controls him. »
Alex took a false offended face.
« What is that supposed to mean? I’m a perfectly responsible adult. »
Kara snorted and Carter did the same.
« You asked me to take out the lizard from your bedroom the other night. »
« That’s because I was training you to be a man. »
Kara and Cat laughed.
« Sure thing, Alex. »
They all burst into laughter, especially when Alex started tickling Carter as a revenge for telling things he wasn’t supposed to. They hung up a few moments later, they had to shower and get dressed if they wanted to enjoy their six days in Paris. Well... They had to get out of the shower for that, both getting in at the same time wasn’t such a good idea…
When they finally left of the hotel, walking in the street, Kara looked at everyone’s wrist. Tattoos everywhere, with different names, some shorter than others, more common than others... She even saw some wrists without tattoos, and people seemed to wear it like it was normal. Cat wasn’t hiding hers anymore, she had embraced it, and when people asked her what it meant she just answered that it was her soulmate’s name. Kara had nothing on her wrist, but the more time she spent with Cat, the more the letter appeared. She almost felt it each time they kissed, her tattoo, trying to come back. She only had white lines, forming a beautiful « Cat Grant » on her wrist. And she was proud of it, so proud that she showed it almost as much as her new ring.
Hand in hand, they walked through the crowd, Kara Zor-El and Cat Grant, soulmates, wives, mother, alien, journalist, CEO, orphan, sad, angry, happy, in love... They had been many many things in the past, but only one remained until the end: they were not alone anymore.
