The Legion had a day off, and were surprised with a visit from Supergirl, who had accidentally time travelled back to the 30th Century. Happy to see her, the girls took her on a shopping trip, showing her all the newest outfits in fashion, as well as accessories and interesting novels. Kara had gotten a beautiful light violet dress with gems sewn into it, at Imra and Tinya’s insistence. The three of them spent the day together, catching up and going on a shopping spree, before heading back to the home base where she was jumped by the other girls, pushing her towards her room.“Woah! What’s going on?” Kara asked, as her face was invaded and one of the girls started applying some eyeshadow.“It’s a surprise, but you’ll be very happy by the end of tonight.” Imra told her, look at her reflection in the mirror, she was smirking knowingly.“Oh, no. What’s going on? Is there some gala or event going on?” Kara groaned, slumping in her chair. Tinya started the work on her hair, making a loose braid and threading little jewels into the gaps.“No, but…” Imra started, as she motioned for Kara to pucker her lips, who did, and started to apply a nice red-pink lipstick to her lips, she was however interrupted by Dirk.“Hello ladies.” He announced, leaning against the doorframe as all eyes turned to him. “Imra, you better not spoil it, you know that it’s taken them ages to plan this.” Dirk groaned, rubbing his face.“I’m not!” Imra gasped, putting a hand against her chest and looking appalled. “I’m just excited.”“And that’s fair, but just let tonight go well.” Dirk replied. “Also, looking good Kara.” He said, closing the door and walking off.Within a few moments, Kara’s makeup and hair was finished, and she was handed the dress they had bought earlier, as all the girls filed out of the room.Getting the hint, Kara sighed and started to undress. Going into the bathroom, she quickly washed her body with a wet towel, reapplying deodorant and brushing her teeth. Walking back out, she picked a bra that wouldn’t be easily seen whilst wearing the dress, as it was a single shoulder dress. Once she slipped on the dress, she walked over to the full-length mirror, taking a deep breath, she looked at her reflection. She looked incredible, the dress pooled down to the floor elegantly and her heels fit perfectly, her hair looked like a waterfall, falling elegantly, the jewels fit the dress’ gems look, rushing back to the table, she found a matching pair of chandelier earrings, making a small jingle when she picked them up, and easily put them in, completing her look. Four knocks sounded from her door, which caused her to spin around, just as the door opened.“Kara, honey, are you ready?” Tinya asked, poking her head through.“Yeah.” Kara smiled weakly, standing up, and walking towards the door, fully opening it to reveal the rest of the Legion, well, almost all of the Legion. ‘Querl isn’t here,’ she thought sadly, casting her eyes downwards.Quickly, she looked upwards to see that the group wanted her to follow them, and she did. The led her through numerous corridors and hallways, until they reached the desired room and all of them left, giving her positive affirmations or whispers of good luck. Once they had all gone, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door, which opened to reveal Brainiac 5, smiling stupidly at her. He was wearing a nice blue navy tux, matching her suit. His tie was a dark red, the same shade as her cape, and the pocket handkerchief was the same shade of gold as the embellishments on her suit. The mere thought that he had put effort into making it so that his suit matched her super suit, and her dress matched his super suit, made her head go dizzy with joy, and wonder how long the team and Brainy had planned this.“Querl?!” She yelled, mouth agape, but quickly returning the smile.“Hello, Kara, you look beautiful.” He told her, pulling her into the room and embracing her in a hug, and planting a kiss on her cheek.As Kara looked at the room, she realised there was table set up for a dinner date with candles lit on the table, illuminating the food. To the other side, was a roaring fireplace and a record player, playing Britney Spears.“This looks so incredible, Brainy!” Kara remarked, kissing him on the cheek, leaving a lipstick stain on his cheek (if he knew, he wouldn’t object).“I’m glad, there was only a 67.39928% chance you would like this.” Querl exhaled, chuckling. “Do you wish to join me for dinner?” he asked, linking her arm in his as they walked to the table.“Of course.” She replied, leaning into the embrace. Once they got to their table, Querl pulled out Kara’s chair and after she sat, pushed her in before taking his own seat. “This looks so good!” She remarked, looking down at the Liver and Fava beans in front of her, paired with a nice chianti. Querl smiled, cutting up his liver.“That’s good. How’s your sister been?” He asked, eating a section of his liver.“Oh, really good, she and her fiancé are thinking of adoption, and if that doesn’t work, she’ll probably try to do donor next.” She informed, eating part of her meal too.“That’s wonderful! How about Kal?”“He’s going well, the divorce was tough, but he and Lois are still good friends. He’s started seeing Batman now.” That was surprising news to Querl.“Did you say Batman? As in Bruce Wayne?” He asked, not sure if he heard he correctly.“Yeah, why?”“He’s never been mentioned to be with Bruce in the textbooks, they were just good friends and roommate-” Querl explained, before the stupidity dawned on him. “Oh, my Gods, they were gay. Or bi.”“Kal is bi and so is Bruce. I can’t believe that they’re going to go down in history as bffs and not lovers.” Kara laughed, taking a few sips from her wine. She was thoroughly enjoying the pained and How-did-I-not-notice-that-I-am-a-level-12-intelligent-! Look on his face. It was very similar to someone spacing out but was instead very Querl.“Wow.” He said, and the two ate the rest of their meal in comfortable silence.Once they had finished, Querl stood up from his seat and offered his arm to Kara once again, and once again she took it. The two of them walked towards the fireplace, as The Night We Met started playing. At Kara’s confused expression, Querl explained.“I created my own kind of record, putting some songs on from the 21st century, it’s interesting.” Querl smiled, guiding Kara’s hand to his shoulder with one hand and the right holding her other hand, as his left hand snaked down to her waist.“You really are the perfect boyfriend.” Kara chuckled, shaking her head as the two of them started to dance, holding each other close, resting their foreheads together, eyes closed.“I love you Kara Zor-El.” Brainy said, full of heart and love.“I love you Querl Dox.” Kara replied, pulling her head away from him, but leaning back in for a kiss.It was a beautiful and sweet kiss, the kisses the two of them shared were always chaste and sweet, or ones full of energy and a certain ferocity after a battle.The two danced for hours more, not saying much to each other, except brief reminders of their love for each other. Eventually, they had decided to call it a night, and Brainiac escorted Kara back to her room.“Kara, may I sleep with you tonight?” he asked, smiling softly.“The fact you need to ask, is surprising.” She replied, taking his hand in hers and pulling him into her room.The two of them undressed out of their outfits, Kara sitting at the table to take off her makeup and earrings, and quickly changing into their pyjamas.Together the two of them pulled back the covers and climbed in, quickly getting cosy and facing each other.“Hi.” Kara said, wearily smiling at him.“Hi.” Querl responded, smiling back, and pushing a loose strand of hair out of her face.“I love you.”“I love you two. I have a question for you.” Querl admitted.“What is it?” Kara asked, puzzled, they were just about to sleep, and she could feel the sleep monster taking control of her. Querl climbed out of bed and walked to where he had folded his clothes, pulling a small object out of the pile. Kara raised a brow. He walked back over to the bed, climbing back inside.“Kara Danvers Zor-El.” He started, breathing deeply.“Brainiac 5 Querl Dox.” She replied, earning a tired glare from her partner.“I have loved you since I first saw you, in my history textbook in grade 1.” Kara’s eyes shot wide open at this news. “And I have always admired you, and was honoured to have been able to meet you, and to eventual be your partner, but I would like to be more. I would like to be yours forever, no matter the timeline, no matter the universe, no matter what, your mate. Will you marry me?” Kara’s eyes started tearing up.“Yes!”“Yes?”“YES!! Of course, I will!” She yelled, embracing him in a hug and passionate kiss. “Gods, I love you.” She whispered, breaking off the kiss for a second, before attacking her fiancé’s face.“I am so happy, there was a 0.0019204% chance you would say no, and I am so glad you didn’t!” He admitted, putting his arms around her neck, pulling her back down onto the bed.“Should we have two weddings? One in the past, observing my traditions, and one in the current day, observing your traditions?” Kara asked, which was a very good point, as they would not be able to get Kara’s friends and family from her time to the future, or the Legion back in time, as that could be disastrous.“We can think about it later, Kara, for now, we sleep, and dream of what has been, what is, and what will be.” Querl whispered, resting his head on her chest.“Did you watch the Twilight Zone when you were over at my house last?” Kara asked, tilting her head.“Yes, now shush, your husband is sleeping.” Querl said, putting a finger on her lips.“Already calling yourself my husband? Wow!” Kara laughed heartily.“Yes, you are my mate and wife-to-be, we can call each other husband and wife and elope.” Querl informed, and also suggested.“Goodnight, honey.”“Goodnight, darling.”
