Chapter 8

The first time they'd ever made love it was slow and soft; gentle even. Cat was incredibly good at maintaining self control and she used all of it to bring Kara to climax in the sweetest way possible. When Kara recovered and returned the affections, she was the same way. They treated each other as if they were both made of porcelain.

Their second first time was not that tame.

And it was mostly Kara's fault.

After those beautiful words left Cat's mouth, they shared a deep and loving kiss. One that stirred a need within the alien that would consume them both until satisfied. It stunned her a little that she could feel so intensely about her partner after only a few days of not being with her. But, then again, Cat had always been able to bring things out in her that she didn't think she was capable of.

Flipping them over so that she was on top, Kara took charge of both the situation and the kiss. She could tell her advances were well received by the way Cat moaned and clutched at her back. Her responses had always enhanced the experience for Kara but, enthusiasm or no, she needed to be sure that this was what they both wanted.

"I…" she started, trying to breath and searching Cat's eyes for guidance. "I know that we're trying to exercise patience but it's getting kind of hard to do that on my end. What about you? How are you feeling?"

"Patience is a virtue, Kara," Cat replied, running a thumb over the alien's quivering lower lip. "And 'virtuous' has never really been my style. Plus, mentally, I've been waiting for this a lot longer than you. And you know ho much I hate waiting."

"Thank Rao," she said… and then she dove.

The Kryptonian always made sure to be hyper-aware of her strength when she was as turned on as she was in that moment. Finding a balance between allowing Cat to feel the passion she craved while, at the same time, not allowing her intensity to become too much, had taken a lot of time and practice.

And only one embarrassing trip to the emergency room.

She knew exactly how hard she could suck in the skin of that perfectly formed neck, how much pressure she could apply with her teeth to hardened nipples, how deeply she could roll her hips into the apex of Cat's thighs. But, there were also benefits to her powers. She was really fast at getting Cat out of her night clothes, her super hearing could pick up on the escalating beat of the CEO's heart, and her tongue… well, let's just say that there were quite a few toys that hadn't been used by their owner in quite some time.

She smiled at the idea that, during this first time with Cat, she'd already be so skilled at pleasing her. The moans that were starting to fill the room were proving that.

"This isn't fair," Cat said as she raked her nails over Kara's scalp and watched the alien caress her nipple with a very skilled tongue. "You know exactly what to do to drive me crazy and I'm going to have to learn all over again with you."

"I promise to be available any and every time you'd like to study," Kara replied, smirking as she pulled back. "I can also assure you that you have nothing to worry about."

"I didn't say I was worried," Cat countered, slipping a thigh between Kara's and causing her to gasp at the contact. "I just said it wasn't fair. Much like the fact that I'm nude and you're still fully clothed. I'd like that fixed now. Chop, chop."

"Yes, Miss Grant," Kara said and then complied.

Once fully disrobed she settled back onto the bed and started to kiss a path down the small form, nipping here and there at stomach, hips and legs. Strong hands parted slim thighs before Kara lowered herself to taste the woman she adored so much. She knew that Cat liked to ease into this part and Kara could always tell when to speed up by the pressure used on the back of her scalp.

"God, Kara," Cat whispered in a shaky voice that betrayed her assertive nature.

She seemed astonished, and a little scared, all at the same time and Kara lifted one of her hands to rest above the CEO's rapidly beating heart, letting her know that she was safe with her. The rapidly moving tongue pushed her higher and higher until finally the moans turned to screams and Kara's face might as well have been spot welded to Cat's center with the force she used to hold it there.

This was one of her favorite parts.

She waited for the tremors to subside and the death grip to loosen into a loving caress. Then, from there, she gently kissed, massaged and savored the essence of her labors. Soft slow movements would put Cat into a blissful haze that bordered on relaxing and arousing and, right when the smallest of movements would start in the tiny hips, Kara started to kiss her way back up and place a deep kiss on full lips; allowing Cat to taste herself.

"I want you again," Kara said, confidence enveloping her words and guiding her hand through wet folds. "I need to be inside you this time."

"I…" Cat tried to catch her breath as she wrapped her arms around the muscled form. "I don't know if I can."

"You can," Kara reassured with a knowing smile. "You can at least four more times before you have to rest."

A sexy chuckle grew deep in Cat's throat as she also wrapped her legs around the hero's waist.

"Well, I guess we're just gonna have to go with your expertise on this one," she said before kissing Kara deeply and then gasping in her mouth as she felt two fingers slip within her. "Just remember, I'm human, ok?"

The statement was definitely a joke. Cat smirked when she said it and started to scratch at Kara's back. But the alien needed to make something abundantly clear.

"I will never knowingly hurt you, Cat," she replied soberly. "I love you more than you understand. Now and before."

Hazel eyes refocused and then smirk turned into a warm smile as Cat brought a hand up to cup her face.

"Oh, Kara. All you proved with that statement is that you don't know everything," she said before kissing her softly. "Now continue."

And continue she did.

She loved this part too. That sensation of feeling like they were both going to come out of their skin because the emotions and tension continued to reach new heights. She loved the way she could feel feel Cat grip her fingers so hard when she came, releasing them both from the overwhelming 'itch' of the moment. Then, once Cat came back down to earth, Kara kissed lovingly all over her face.

"I'm not normally one to care about people lacking the luxuries I enjoy but it truly is a tragedy for the rest of the world that none of them get to experience that," the CEO remarked before finally letting Kara go and breathing in deeply to regain her strength.

"Surely you're not suggesting I go out and share my 'gifts' with the public," Kara joked, ghosting her fingers over Cat's arm.

"Absolutely not," Cat replied with a gentle swat before holding up their ringed fingers. "You're mine and we've got rings to prove it. Also, you want to tell me about how you were able to get me a rock this big? Surely your blog doesn't do that well."

"Hey!" Kara said with mock indignance. "My blog does just fine, thank you. But the diamond I actually got in space. I used the spaceship I crashed in to take me up there and then I just needed to make sure nothing blocked me from the sun, find the meteor I was looking for, and blast into it. I had that one cut and donated the rest."

"You really are too good for this world, Kara Danvers," Cat said, turning to prop herself closer to Kara. "Tomorrow you're going to tell me the story of how you proposed."

"Why tomorrow?" Kara asked, looking at the clock. "It's still early. I could tell you now."

"If you're able to eloquently tell me a story over the next hour then I am definitely going to need to up my game," Cat said, slipping atop Kara and settling in for the ride. "Was I able to please you the first time we were together?"

"You've please me every time we've been together, Cat," Kara reassured.

And that time was no exception. Cat put her all into figuring out the incredible Kryptonian body beneath her. Kara could tell too. It felt so wonderful to be the center of Cat's world. The woman was so intelligent, iconic and interesting. It always amazed Kara that she was something Cat could lose herself in. But she always did. Every time.

Her body was coming alive with each touch, kiss, lick and bite. Only when those lips began their descent did Kara stop her.

"Wait," she said, causing a look of worry to immediately form on Cat's features. One that she needed to soothe away immediately. "No, I didn't mean it like that. You're… Everything you're doing feels amazing. I just… I need you here this time. With me."

Cat shifted and caressed Kara's cheek as she moved back up.

"Oh, Kara," the sadness in her eyes was potent as she spoke. "I'm here. And I'm not going anywhere. I promise."

And just like that, the fears that had been plaguing her for the better part of the week disappeared and Kara's features relaxed.

"Good," she said, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes. "That's really good."

"It's not just good," Cat replied with a knowing grin. "It's Super."

They allowed each other the laugh they both deserved and then Cat made good on her promise to take Kara's words from her for the next hour.

Well, every word save 'Cat'.

The CEO felt off as soon as she'd stepped out of her car and swaggered, in the afterglow of the night before, toward her building and then private elevator. She only realized what she was missing when she raised her hand to punch the number for her floor on the control panel. Her wedding ring was decidedly absent from her finger. She'd taken it off to shower that morning, and must have forgotten to put it back on, but she wanted to make sure she hadn't actually lost it somewhere on the way to work. Pulling her cell phone from her purse, she scrolled to Kara's name and pressed the 'call' button.

"I know it may be tempting to call me for a breakfast quickie but we really need to rest, Cat," the alien said, mirth present in her voice.

"Don't get too cocky, darling. One of your most endearing traits is your humble nature," Cat countered, a smile adorning her face with every word. "I'm calling to see if you can check around the house for my wedding ring. I think I left it in the bathroom but I want to be sure."

"Definitely," Kara confirmed. "But I'm out working on an interview right now. I'll pop in right after and let you know, OK?"

"I suppose I can wait. It's only a one-of-a-kind ring from outer space," Cat chided, stepping off the elevator. "Call me later."

"Will do, Miss Grant."

The morning went by without too many annoyances from her staff but she still hadn't received word from Kara about the ring by noon. She considered texting her again but Cat wasn't about to be that girl. She knew that Kara was fine because there had been no coverage of Supergirl all morning. She'd likely just gotten caught up in her work. Yet another thing Cat admired about her former assistant.

Then, as if Kara knew she was worrying about her, the ding of her phone alerted her to a new text.

Found your ring but I'm a little caught up in this story. I'll bring it to you when I pick you up tonight.

And, yet again, all was right in the world.

Finally the end of the day started to roll around and it was accompanied by the extremely welcome site of Supergirl leaning against the railing of her balcony.

"Well, well," Cat said, relief washing over her in a much needed wave as she walked out to greet her. "Supergirl. To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit?"

"Well, Miss Grant, Kara Danvers told me you lost something," she replied facetiously. "And I think I might have found it."

"Kara Danvers sure has some nerve, asking you to take on such a menial task when you have so many more important things to do around the city," she replied, decreasing the distance between them. "I might just have to reprimand her when I get home."

"While I certainly won't stop you from doing that, she did ask me to teach you a little lesson about losing something so important," the hero replied with an ever growing smile. "You're to come along with me so you can find the ring for yourself."

"Hrmf," Cat huffed out the laugh and stepped closer. "I've had a very long day and all I want to do right now is go home, drink my dinner, spend the better part of an hour with Kara's mouth between my thighs and hear about the way she proposed. Do not test me, Girl."

"I assure you she can accommodate all of those requests, Miss Grant, but I'm afraid you'll have to come with me first," she stood firm. "It's non-negotiable."

"This had better be good," Cat replied, narrowing her eyes before she walked in to retrieve her purse and return to her captor. "I'm assuming we're flying?"

"First class," Supergirl confirmed, lifting Cat off of her feet and slowly ascending into a darkening sky.

It didn't take long for them to reach their destination. It was a familiar one. Atop a high hill, Cat's car sat surrounded by hundreds of candles that separated into a path that led to the back seat. Setting her down gently, Supergirl started to speak.

"Do you recognize this place?" she asked.

"Yes, you flew me here the first time I saw you in this form," Cat replied. "Though there were far less candles that time."

"Well, I wanted it to be a little more romantic this time," she explained, taking cat's hand and leading her down the path toward the car.

"Please tell me my driver isn't in there to witness this."

"No," Supergirl chuckled as she waited for Cat to climb inside the vehicle. "I gave him the night off. This is just for us."

The inside of the car was covered in not only rose petals but little hanging pictures of the pair together. Some from different events, some candids obviously taken by friends, some with Carter, Alex, Maggie, Winn, James and Agent Mulder. They were images of a past Cat couldn't recall but desperately wanted to. And she looked so damned happy in each and every one of them.

"This was the first place you saw all of me," Supergirl said, slipping inside next to Cat.

"I thought that happened in my condo," the CEO joked back, trying to keep the mood light so she didn't tear up at the beauty of it all.

"Well, ok," the reply was accompanied by a chuckle as she pulled a small box from the console. "It's the first place where you saw the side of me that was different. A side you not only embraced but wanted to call your own. When I proposed, I thought it might be appropriate to recreate that moment because I was about to show you even more of me. Of how I wanted to call you my own. So…"

She opened the box to reveal the ring she'd so obviously stolen while Cat was in the shower. The little sneak had this planned since the start of the day.

"I know you don't have all of these memories in your head," Supergirl pointed out, gesturing to the pictures that surrounded them. "But I'd be more than happy to put them in your heart, Cat. I can remember enough for the both of us. So, what do you say? Will you stay married to me… And start calling me Mrs. Grant again?"

Cat's face had been sober and unreadable throughout the entire speech but, once the question was finally out, she quirked her head to the side and allowed a bright smile to slowly grow on her face.

"I suppose it's the least I can do for the girl who, without question, has stolen my heart," she said before leaning in to place a loving kiss against her hero's lips. "Now, give me back my ring, thief."

Kara smiled through her tears as she pulled out the ring and placed it back where it belonged.

"I love you, Cat."

"I love you, Kara."

The tender moment held for a few more uninterrupted seconds but, in true super hero fashion, it was interrupted by the appearance of a villain.

"So sorry to interrupt what looks to be a very private moment but I figured it was best to do so now before things became heated."

The voice came from a well-dressed man standing just outside the car and Kara lept into action immediately, placing herself between him and Cat.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked, muscles tight and ready to throttle.

"That's Mr. Friend," Cat said, stepping behind her protector. "The man who took my memories. I'd recognize that upscale English accent and tailored suit anywhere."

"Why thank you, Miss Grant. It's nice to see you as well," he replied with a bow before gasping as his throat was caught in the grasp of one very pissed off Kryptonian.

"You're not going to be seeing anything but the inside of a jail cell after what you did to her," Supergirl seethed. "And you're lucky if that's all I do to you."

"Fair enough," he choked. "Fair enough but, if you'll let go, I think I may have something you've been looking for as well."

"Like what?" Supergirl asked, only tightening her grip.

"This," he squeaked out, retrieving a blue vial from his pocket and handing it over. "It'll bring back her memories."

Kara took the vial and handed it over to Cat before releasing her grip only slightly.

"And why the hell should we believe anything you say?" she asked. "Why would you do this to her only to give her memories back? You must have some agenda."

"Oh, I do!" he replied. "Only I got a little confused along the way and gave my potion to the wrong person. See, my name is Amnesiac. I'm an inter-dimensional trickster who grants wishes from time to time to worthy souls."

"Someone wished for you to steal Cat's memories?" Supergirl asked, finally letting go completely and crossing her arms, confused by the story.

"Well, that's where the confusion comes in," he explained. "See, I was minding my own business, having the most magnificent pizza in Italy when I overheard these Italian girls talking about how much they just loved this woman named Calista Flockhart. The only problem was this Calista goddess was married to a pilot and they were extremely jealous of him. So, I offered to make her forget about him in exchange for free pizza from their grandmothers for the rest of my life and that's how I ended up in California. Only, I found Cat instead of Calista. The names both start with C and you must admit they do look similar."

"Look similar?!" Cat pushed past Kara with righteous indignation in her voice. "Does my hair not look styled? Have you ever witnessed me in jeans with holes in them? I think not. Supergirl, destroy this blasphemous fiend. He is obviously out of his mind."

"I can't believe this," Kara said, rubbing the furrow of her brow and ignored Cat's request, focusing on Amnesiac instead. "And how did you just disappear? We couldn't find you anywhere."

"Oh, that's because I can jump through dimensions with the snap of my fingers. Also why your little jail won't hold me. I'll just make another jump," he said with a smile. "Once I enact a potion I like to skip town for a while so as to avoid suspicion. Only this time I re-read my notes and realized I'd erased the memories of the wrong person so I knew I had to make things right."

"This is infuriating," Kara sighed.

"I know! He thinks I look like Calista Flockhart!" Cat interjected.

"Cat, not now," Supergirl halted further protest and focused back on the man before them. "So, if she drinks that potion, she'll remember everything? All the stuff that happened before and all the stuff that happened after?"

"Absolutely," he answered with a nod. "You have not only my word but my apologies for mix-up."

After thinking it over for a moment she finally waved her hand at Amnesiac.

"Alright, get out of here," she ordered, figuring he might as well leave if there was no way to hold him in custody.

"Will do," he agreed. "Lovely proposal, by the way. So happy she said yes."

And, with a snap of his fingers, he was gone. Leaving the women alone to contemplate everything that had happened.

"Do you believe him?" Cat asked.

"Not enough to just let you drink this stuff," Supergirl replied, taking the potion out of Cat's hands and placing it in her suit. "I need to get this to Alex so she can run some tests."

"No, I mean do you believe that I look like Calista Flockhart?" she asked.

"Dear Rao, Cat," she replied with a shake of her head. "Let me take you home and then stop by the DEO with the potion and try to find out if it is what he says it is."

"Fine, but this conversation is not over."

"I have no doubt."

It only took two martinis, and quite a few google image searches of the former Ally McBeal, for the sound of the balcony doors opening alert Cat to Kara's return. Moving into the bedroom, she asked the million dollar question.

"So? Will it work?"

"It will," Kara answered with a smile and handed over the vial. "Alex said the chemistry checks out. That should reverse the amnesia potion."

Looking into the blue depths of the liquid, Cat considered how lucky she was to have the ability to have her memories back. But she also needed the woman standing before her to know something.

"Kara, even if the potion doesn't work," she said, moving closer. "I want you to know that I would never have left. That you… you and all your Sunny Danvers wonder, made me fall in love with you again."

"Yeah, well, I have my moments," Kara replied, encircling Cat's waist with her arms. "Go ahead, take it. I'll be right here the whole time."

Nodding, Cat took in a deep breath and opened the vial.

"Bottoms up," she said before tossing it back and taking it all in one shot.

Her eyes closed and her body became somewhat limp as so many memories flooded her mind all at once. She was happy she was already in Kara's arms.

"Oh no!" Kara yelled. "Cat are you ok?"

"I'm fine," she reassured, getting her legs back. "I'm fine, I just got a little disoriented for a second there."

"Are you sure? Do you need to sit down?" Kara asked, still worried.

"No, no," Cat reassured, her smile returning. "I'm good… and I'm back, my beautiful Supergirl."

Reaching up to cup her face, Cat leaned in to place a grateful, remorseful and loving kiss upon the lips of the woman she loved more than life.

"God, I am so sorry, Kara," she said as she pulled away. "I was so horrible at first. I know I hurt you. I saw you crying and wishing I was here with you. I never want to see you hurting like that again."

"Well, no more taking booze from strange men," Kara said, happy laughter leaving her lips. "And you weren't that bad. I think I handled you ok."

"Of course you did," Cat replied, a single tear rolling down her cheek as she thought of the devotion she'd witnessed. "You know me. Really know me."

"Yeah, well, it was kind of my job for a while," she replied, leaning in to kiss the tear away. "Now, I recall you having a laundry list of things you wanted to do this evening. What was on it?"

She pulled away a bit to start unbuttoning Cat's shirt.

"You wanted to go home," she said, undoing one button.

"Drink your dinner," another button.

"Hear the story of our proposal," another button.

"And… what was that last one?" she asked, pushing the shirt off Cat's shoulders and to the floor.

"Go down on you for the better part of an hour," Cat said, pushing Kara back to sit on the bed and dropping to her knees to work on removing red boots.

"See, I remember that one a little differently," Kara replied, not protesting too hard.

"Yes, well, we both know my memory is back to normal now so you must be mistaken," Cat said with a wink. "Now, help me with these tights, Supergirl."

"Yes, Miss Grant."

The End

Author's Note: The story for the Amnesiac was made specifically for one of my favorite Italian girls. She's the reason this fic was created and the one who asked for the Amnesia trope. If it wasn't your cup of tea, I get that, but yes it was intentional. I hope you enjoyed the story. Special thanks to Adri for just being Adri.
