Chapter 91 - Prison Escape

It is now Saturday, and Kara and Lena are back at Kara's apartment, preparing to move all their stuff over to Lena's. The couple have decided not to ask their friends for help this time, because as Lena is present, she can keep an eye on Alura, while Kara uses her super powers to fly things back and forth. So far the moving has been going pretty well, the only issues have been how much of Kara's furniture Kara wants to take with her. Obviously, Lena would be totally happy with Kara bringing all of her furniture, but Kara is aware that it's not all needed. For instance, Kara really doesn't need to bring her TV, when Lena has a large, bigger, and more expensive one in her living room. Then at the same time, Kara doesn't need to bring her couches, seeing as they are kind of old and Lena already has couches, even if they are not as comfortable as Kara's.

"Are you okay, darling?" Lena asks, as Kara lands in her apartment again, after having just taken a bunch of Alura's things to Lena's penthouse. Alura is currently in her room, packing away some of her toys.

"Yeah, just not sure what we should take, that's all." Kara admits.

"Well, why don't we just take everything then?" Lena suggests. "What?" Kara replies, surprised, "But we don't need everything, you already have so much stuff, and my things totally won't go with the stuff in your penthouse."

Lena sighs. "That is exactly my point, darling." Lena says, as she steps closer to her girlfriend, and uses one of her hands to stroke Kara's arm. "It isn't MY penthouse anymore; it is OUR penthouse. So, I want to make it our home, and to do that, we should probably redecorate." "Are you sure?" Kara asks, "You have a lot of really nice stuff already, that I'm sure is expensive."

Lena chuckles, with a smile on her face.

"Darling, that doesn't matter. Money doesn't matter to me." Lena replies, "What does matter, is I want us to create a home that is ours. It doesn't have to be super expensive looking and immaculate, like how I had my penthouse originally furnished. I want it to be a home. When I first moved here, to National City, I didn't think I would be spending much time at my penthouse, as I intended to purely focus on work. So, because of that, I had my place completely furnished by a stylist, and that does mean that my couches are not exactly comfy, they are more so for looking at, and for their style. But I don't want that anymore. I don't care about the style. I want it to be a home, where we can relax together. So, if that means we use your couches, and throw away or donate mine, then I'll be more than happy with that."

Kara smiles, lovingly, at her girlfriend, thinking that Lena is truly amazing.

"That sounds amazing, Lee. But my couches are kind of old, and have some stains on them." Kara admits.

Lena chuckles. "Well, how about we leave them here. And we can buy brand new, comfy, furniture together." Lena suggests.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea." Kara smiles. "Good." Lena nods, smiling back. "That reminds me, when is your rent contract up? As if you still have a few more months on your contract, and can't just end the rent right away, I will happily pay the rent for the remainder of the contract for you."

"Uhhhh...." Kara stammers, biting her lip slightly.

"What is it?" Lena asks, confused.

"I uhhh.... kind of own the place." Kara admits.

"What?!" Lena exclaims, now very surprised. "Sorry." Kara says, apologising, "I totally thought I'd told you before."

Lena shakes her head. "That isn't why I am surprised darling." Lena replies, "I just..... I don't want to come off as rude.... but.... how could you afford to buy this place..... Was your CatCo salary a lot larger than I think it was?"

Kara laughs, while blushing now.

"No I uhh..... I kind of used my Super powers to afford it." Kara admits, biting her lip.

"Used them how?" Lena asks, curiously, an eyebrow raised. "You didn't rob a bank or something did you?"

Kara breaks into a smile, knowing Lena is just joking.

"No I uhh.... I kind of just crushed some coal..... with my hands.... and made them into diamonds.... which I sold...." Kara admits.

Lena now laughs, loudly.

"Oh my god! Kara!" Lena says, still laughing, "I didn't expect for you to do something like that!"

"Well.... I'm not proud of it.... as I don't like using my powers for money.... But..... I lived in a very small apartment when I first moved here, and got my job at CatCo. But once I found out I was pregnant, I kind of freaked out, as I didn't have room for a baby. So, I.... I did it then.... so we could have more space.... and separate rooms." Kara admits.

Lena's wide smile falls from her face now, realising that Kara didn't do this for some sort of selfish reason, but for a selfless one, completely thinking about her daughter.

"Kara.... that's amazing." Lena says.

"I don't know..." Kara replies, "I still feel guilty about it."

"Don't be." Lena says, "You used your powers not for your own self gain, but for your daughter, to give her a better life, any mother would do the same in your shoes. If you wanted, you could easily continue to use your powers like that to be rich, but you don't, and that is because you are a good person, Kara."

Kara looks up at Lena, with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Lee." Kara smiles. "Of course." Lena smiles back, and then leans in and takes her girlfriend in for a loving kiss.

A few moments later, Lena and Kara are interrupted by Alura coming running into the living room area. "Momma, mommy!" Alura exclaims, excitedly.

Kara and Lena break from their kiss, and then look at their daughter with smiles on their faces.

"I finished packing my room!" Alura says, with a big smile. The five-year-old is very excited about moving to the penthouse, which both her mothers are relieved about. Kara and Lena both are aware that moving to a new place can be an emotional time for most people, especially children, so they are glad she doesn't seem sad by it.

"That's good." Lena smiles back.

"Yeah." Kara nods, "I'll move all your things now. But we don't have to worry if we forget about anything, because I'm still going to keep this apartment for a while. At least until momma and I have finished decorating her.... I mean our penthouse.... with new furniture, and deciding if we want to use any stuff from here."

Alura smiles at Kara, happy with the explanation. "Okay, can we bring all my toys now?" Alura asks.

Kara chuckles, as she obviously was going to do that. She just wasn't going to bring any of Alura's bedroom furniture, seeing as she already has a fully furnished room at their penthouse.

"Of course we can. Did you pack them in a box, like I asked?" Kara asks. "Yes." Alura nods.

"Okay then." Kara nods back, and then turns to look at Lena again. "I guess I better get back to it."

"Sure." Lena smiles.

Kara then zooms into Alura's room, and a few moments later she is out the apartment, flying towards Lena's penthouse. As Kara does this, Alura walks over to Lena. "Momma?" Alura asks. "Yes, darling?" Lena smiles, looking down at her daughter.
