She'd found it in the Commader's quarters. Lee; a child, bright eyed and arms akimbo smiling with a fierce joy she'd never seen. Donned in a red cape and blue jumpsuit, he stood as tall as his small frame would allow, his chest puffed and swelled. Zak was absolutely dwarfed beside him in size and presence. His fireman costume unable to rival Lee's Superman garb. The camera captured the adoration in his upturned eyes forever. Kara tucked the picture into her pocket before sneaking out. She wondered how one forgotten moment a million minutes ago could say so much.

Fairy Tale
He didn't know what had possessed him. A whim had invaded his brain and before he could stop himself he was kissing her sleeping mouth. He felt her stir and respond before pushing him gently away..
“What was that?” She asked confused.
He shrugged. “You looked like Sleeping Beauty.”
She licked her lips and stared him down.
“Sorry,” He mumbled, before hurrying away embarrassed.

The next morning her lips on his woke him.
“Kara...?”
Smiling down at him, she whispered, “You looked a little froggy. I was trying to make a prince charming out of you.” She laughed as she headed out of the hatch.

Special Election
"What do you mean you didn't vote for me?!"
"What?" Kara shrugged. "I have some concerns with some of your policies."
"Like what?!"
"Like whether I get any special priviledges as First Girlfriend. Since you informed me that I don't, I can't see any up-side for me." She reasoned. "You'll be working all the time. I'll never see you."
"So you didn't vote for me because there's no benefit for you?"
"When you say that it sounds selfish." She laughed.
"How would say it?"
Angelically, she grinned, "That I love you too much to share you?"
. . .
Finally, Lee nodded. "OK then."

Cold Feet
"Move over," Lee groaned as she invaded his rack sometime in the night.
Ignoring him, she just laughed as she pulled his blanket over them. It wasn't the first time she'd snuck into his bed.
"Gods Kara, if you're this desperate I could probably make some calls."
"Shut up." She smiled, "It's frakking arctic in here and I need a cuddle buddy."
"Your feet are cold," He whined.
Wrapping herself around him like a snake around a branch she just smirked at his petulance.
"Well I guess you better warm me up then, baby."
His reluctance, only an act anyways, he did just that.
