It's You (Supercorp)

The Time of the Year

Third Person POV

Snow was plowing on the rooftops of the Danvers residence, small icicles hanging from the trims. Alex was out for her morning jog that Maggie had (begrudgingly) joined after lots of pouts from her fiancee. Kara and Lena were both fast asleep in bed, both enjoying the warmth of one another.

Eliza had stood at the doorframe of Kara and Alex's shared room (where Kara and Lena had been practically laying on each other to fit on Kara's old bed) as she held her cup of coffee with one hand, her other arm doing the infamous 'mom wrap' where she wrapped her sweater closer to her.

She had smiled as she watched her adoptive daughter (at this point, she never introduced Kara as her 'adoptive' daughter, but rather her daughter) and her soon-to-be daughter-in-law sleeping peacefully together, Kara holding Lena close as both their chests rose and fell steadily with... well, air.

Sighing, mostly to herself, her heart had warmed seeing the duo so close. She had always wanted for both of her daughters to be happy, and this was the happiest she had ever seen Kara- well, other than the incident they had the other day. 

Eliza was a mother. She had always noticed the way Kara had looked at Lena, with so much love in her eyes. It was almost as if she were looking at her whole universe when her eyes were set on Lena. It was a fragile yet strong love. 

Kara and Lena had been through hell and back together. Lena had to watch Kara being sent away, without hope in her eyes that she would come back. And when Lena had found out that Kara was stuck in the Phantom Zone? She wasn't sure that she would get her girlfriend back. 

She did get Kara back... but she wasn't the Kara she had always known. She had seen the broken part of her girlfriend. Her past, her everything. She watched as Kara fell back into her past habits of drinking. But once she had urged Kara out of those habits, she had to wake up each night to see her girlfriend in tears, shaking, and her eyes filled with fear, hate, frustration, sadness, and so many more emotions. 

 But she held Kara close each time. She assured her that everything was alright and that she was there. She assured her that she wouldn't ever leave. And did Lena ever leave? No. She stayed. She didn't want to leave, and she couldn't even think of a life without the blonde.

When Kara first met Lena, the brunette was broken. Lena didn't trust anyone. She didn't let anyone in, but that was until Kara broke down her walls with her smiles and her words that made Lena's heart flutter.

And that's the beauty of a love as powerful as theirs. There are arguments, and there are so many frustrations. But the thing that keeps them there is their love for each other. Their undeniable love. Anyone that walks in a room with them could see it, clear as day, it was there. 

At first, Eliza was reluctant on believing that Kara, a Super, could ever love Lena, a Luthor. Even past their family's problems, Kara and Lena were so much in love. Eliza saw that almost as soon as she saw both her daughter and Lena in the same room. 

She had a feeling, a feeling that only a mother could have; she knew that Lena was the one for Kara. Hell, Lena was Kara's soulmate! If that didn't even give it away, Eliza still knew that Lena would soon be her daughter-in-law.

Eliza smiled before departing to her bedroom, only to return with a Polaroid camera that her eldest daughter had gifted her for her last birthday. It was her personal favorite. One of the woman's hobbies were photography, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't snap endless pictures of her daughters with their girlfriend/fiancee.

Holding the camera up to eye-level, she peered into the small peeping glass as she aimed the camera's lens at the sleeping girls. Snapping one picture of them, the picture had etched itself onto the film before she could even snap another picture.
