Danica had gotten used to having someone in her bed at all times now. Eyes closed, she held Kara close, the blonde's head tucked under her chin so that her beautiful space goddess had the song of her heart to find comfort in and sleep. With her arms wrapped firmly around the other girl's waist, she kept the pillows around them in a perfect set up so that they felt secured. This was one of the night Danica slept, though she had made it a habit to lay with Kara every night with eyes closed to meditate and be with her lover.

Today was a special day. Wonder Woman had conversed privately with Kara the night before when Danica had gone out to 'run an errand' for her mother. Wonder Woman had revealed that today was Danica's birthday. While Diana had wanted to spend the day with her daughter alone, she also knew that Danica was not willing to spend the day without Kara. Asking Kara to spend the day with her daughter, the older heroine had humbled herself and hoped that the blonde would honour her request. The day after, Diana would take them both out on the town as another gift to Danica.

Now, Danica didn't know about this. Nor did she know about Kara's plans. The dark haired goddess only knew one thing that morning. That Kara was in her arms, and that was all she could ask for.

Stephanie had been going to school and living with Chrissy for the past month. Waking up on Saturday mornings was currently one of the best things in life!

Rolling over onto her side, she snuggled back into Chrissy, enjoying the feeling of the older girl draped around her. Closing her eyes, Stephanie waited for her older counter part to wake up. Today was the first day they were going out to patrol...well, tonight.She didn't know what time Chrissy was planning on!

Danica blinked as Kara took her hand in a weak grasp. Why was Kara so cold? Looking at her with concern, Danica didn't feel like she was in the right position to protect her anymore. She was just a mortal for the day!

"Kara?" She said softly, feeling her mother retreat from their side to talk to J'onn. Pulling her up, she couldn't do it as easily as she could have before she lost her powers. Hoping Kara would just go with it, she tried to bring her into her arms.

"Don't be. What matters is that you fought." She told the blonde. Danica valued fighting, and strength, skill...she was a phsyical type of person, and had grown up with the ideals of physical manifestation of power was just as important as the intent. "That you fought for me."

"Kara," Diana approached them again, looking over at Kara. "Take Danica home, stay there." she informed them, looking over her own daughter. "Do not leave until I say it is safe.'

Getting up when she was pulled up by Danica, she cuddled up to the dark haired Amazon. Not responding to her lover, she laid her head against Danica's chest. What if she didn't fight next time? She hadn't fought when Chrissy was being attacked by a giant robot.

"Can...can you take us home?" she asked Diana softly.

She wasn't in the right mind to be flying. She felt weak and ill. All she wanted to do was get back to the bed.

Danica didn't like being restricted to her house. It wasn't part of her daily plans!

Nodding, Diana would. She called a cab to pick them up. Leading the girls to the exit that would make them come out of a building a couple blocks over, so no one would know it connected to the Hall of Justice, the older woman lead her daughter with the bloodied and torn tank top and her girlfriend to the cab. Letting them get in first, she could tell Danica was pouting and fuming, angry but wary at the same time.

Diana would be too if she lost her powers...

"It is only a side effect from being away from the supercharged heavens you are used to. Every god that has lingered in the mortal realm longer than they are used to has gone through it." Diana assured Danica, reaching up to run her hand through the dark hair of her daughter. Stormy grey eyes lifted to look at Diana, shining with a delicate fear.

Diana's own grey eyes held fast, reassuring. Danica squeezed Kara's hand, feeling slightly weak as she nodded and leaned against the blonde. How was she going to protect them both?

The cab soon pulled up in front of the embassy, Diana getting out first and holding the door open for them. Did they want her to stay as well?

Kara went where she was led, not getting involved in the mother/daughter moment. Taken to a cab, she got in with them. The squeezing of her hand made her smile a little, but it was a sad smile. She had no mother to watch over her like Danica.

Getting out at the embassy, she waited for them to guide her inside. What if the attackers were waiting for them inside? Danica's aunts had gotten in, anyone could then.

"Will she be safe here?" she asked Diana.

Diana brought them in, soon asked if Danica would be safe here. Diana nodded, glancing back at the blonde and Danica. "The only gods...goddesses," she corrected herself, closing the door behind them. "That may enter are Athena, Artemis and Aphrodite."

"This place is a safe heaven. Unless the send another mortal after her, then she is safe." Hopefully they wouldn't. Danica could handle them, she could handle a god, but not two. Especially not her brother Erebos, god of blood and destruction, and her sister Eris, goddess of strife and discord...together, they were too strong for Danica to fight off when they used their powers and she didn't have a weapon to harm them with.

Danica was glad to hear those names! Her aunts would look after them if need be. But she didn't want them to know she was a mortal for the day! They probably already knew though...

"I'm going to go get changed..." Danica grumbled, looking over at Kara to see if she wanted to come. Heading towards the stairs, she ascended to her room.

	Wincing at the mention of the aunts, Kara didn't like them much. They elicited unhappy memories. Relieved to hear that they were mostly safe, she knew nothing about who their attackers were. "Okay. I'll make something to eat with Diana," Kara told Danica. Once her lover was gone, she turned on Wonder Woman. "How do I defeat a god?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Danica was left alone, going up the stairs. She entered her room, pulling her shirt off and throwing it off to the side. falling onto her bed. Closing her eyes, she sighed with frustration.

Diana was surprised when Kara turned to her and asked her that question. Kara was unpredictable! "To defeat a god, you must win at whatever competition or tournament you have challenged them to. Or they have challenged you." She answered, but for some reason she didn't think Kara cared about that.

"To kill a god, you must destroy their essence and their worship. Then...you find a weapon wielded by any god, their magics will be weaved within the blade, and murder them. You can go as far as cutting their heart out...but you must do so before they reveal their true forms. Some can burn you up simply by showing." Diana informed. She had no real fear of Danica being hurt. Her daughter's domain was vast, which had been the intent of the virgin goddesses...before Aphrodite. Physically though...Kara could hurt Danica.

"It is a process. Especially for one who wishes to eliminate them ever coming back." Diana answered darkly, turning to walk into the kitchen. "What are you wanting to do, Kara?"

"Will they ever stop coming after Danica?"

From what little she had heard of gods, they were untrustworthy and bloodthirsty. They would never stop trying to kill Danica. Never.

"Make food. Danica is likely hungry."

Not sharing her plans, she headed to the kitchen. Beginning to fix sandwiches for them, she just assumed that Diana would eat with them. They were like a family now, weren't they?

"Possibly. Danica is a threat to the life they are used to." Diana told the blonde. Danica had explained her philosophy to her, and what she planned on doing. But the factor of Kara threw a kink in her plans...

The question dodged, Diana watched the blonde for a moment. Kara was right in assuming that they were like a family now. Diana would look out for Kara as much as she did for Danica, bot because of Clark, but because she genuinely cared for the blonde. Moving to help her, she helped make a salad and get the drinks.

Danica took some time upstairs, she was feeling incompetent. She couldn't hear everything downstairs, she couldn't see as far as she was used too. Her senses felt dulled. It was weird!

Coming downstairs soon enough, she looked for her mother and girlfriend. What were they doing?

"Thank you," Kara told Diana as the older woman moved to help.

Was Diana a goddess too? How old was she? How old was Danica? It wasn't something she wanted to think about. She didn't like any of the gods business. Hearing Danica come down the stairs, she waited for her lover to join them. Gathering the sandwiches, she went and placed them on the table.

"Does Danica like sandwiches?"

Danica eventually joined them after she searched the entire.downstairs. there wasnt much talking, which concerned her.

"I believe so." Diana answered, setting the table. Hearing Danica pad in barefoot, she smiled at her. Putting the pitchers on the table next, she sat down.

Danica sat down, looking over at Kara. She looked better. Settling in, she actually was hungry. Where she normally could just go without eating, she felt she needed to now. Looking at the food, she didnt know what she wanted!

"I will be right back." Diana said, smiling. She might as well find something to cheer them up!

	Taking a seat herself, Kara took one sandwich for herself. Only nibbling on it, she wasn't very hungry. She didn't eat much anymore. "What is in the pitchers?" she asked to make conversation. She had been in charge of the sandwiches. What Diana had made, she wasn't sure. Something to drink and a salad it looked like. "Hurry back," Kara responded to Diana.

"Grape juice," Diana responded easily. Hey! She was Greek! It was a close subsitute for wine, which she could not give to them yet, Danica was just turning 21. Though, Danica had already drank wine before coming here. It was just against the law here and Diana had to respect the law if she expected others to do so as well.

Danica ate everything! Not in a hurry, but she had a sandwhich and salad and juice. It was all so delicious!

Diana floated back in with gifts, making Danica pause for a moment and then blush. She didn't want a big deal to be made of her birthday! "There is one more," Diana grinned but quickly told Danica she had to open the other ones first.

"Mother, we talked about this. I didn't want you to worry about my birthday." Danica was embarrassed. Actually looking shy, she put her cup down. Such a defiant child!

"I have missed 16 birthdays, Danica." Diana responded, a soft smile on her face as she glanced over at Kara. "I do not want to miss another one. And it isn't fair to deny your loved ones the right to celebrate your existence either."

Nodding, Kara guessed that was why it was so dark. Why did they need two pitchers of it, though? When Diana reappeared, the blonde nearly choked on her sandwich. Presents! Now Danica would know that it was her birthday! The surprise was ruined!

Sinking low in her chair, she silently slipped into a funk. Not certain of the math, did that make Danica 17? She didn't look younger then her...

"How old is Danica?"

Because Danica could drink like her life depended on it. Already on her fifth glass, the pitcher was nearly all gone!

Diana looked at Danica with a bittersweet smile for a moment. "I have 16 years worth of gifts to give you, plus the ones from this year." She said, setting them on a table off to the side. Asked a question by Kara, Diana turned to look at the blonde.

Danica glanced over at Kara for a moment, seeing that she had sunk in her chair. She wondered why.

"Let's see. I had her until the day before she was five..."

"21." Danica said, not wanting to get into the entirety of her life. Looking at her cup, she counted to five in her head before relaxing once more. Not having her mother when she was younger had served to make her angry...a lot. "I am 21."

Diana nodded, sitting down and taking a drink of her own cup. Which had actual wine. "She is 21." Grabbing the first gift, it was marked with a 5, she pushed it towards her only daughter. "This was to be yours on your fifth birthday..."

Danica picked it up, looking at Kara as if asking for permission before opening it. Inside she found a crescent moon and cradled in the crescent was a star, the necklace respectively crafted in gold and silver. "The moon and a morning star. A gift woven by the muses themselves."

The simple answer from Danica overrode anything Diana was going to say. Looking at the many gifts, Kara sunk even lower in her chair. So many...she only had the one gift. It wasn't even a real gift! This was a disaster. She was such a terrible girlfriend.

Groaning, she sunk even lower. Her chin was resting on the table now. The first gift was jewelry...why hadn't she gotten Danica jewelry?

"Pretty," she remarked.

Diana nodded, taking another sip. And the gift giving proceeded, number six being a pair of bracers made by Hephaestus himself. Seven was a battle saddle for the horse that Danica had. Eight was a magical viewing orb to see all the places her heart desired...her 20th gift was something more modern, an ipod for music of Danica's liking...

"Are you ready for your final gift?" Diana asked, already finishing her third cup of wine.

Danica nodded, trying to figure out what to do with the ipod...it was a flat squared device to her...

Diana left the room again, leaving them there. Danica didnt know how to feel. She was feeling feelings she hadnt had in a while. "There is a tightness in my chest." She told Kara softly, fighting tears as she focused on the small necklace.

Each gift made Kara die a little more. There was no way she could give her paltry gift to Danica now. She would have to say she lost it, and work on getting more, real gifts for her girlfriend. That would require money though...which meant getting a job. That, or asking Chrissy for money...

"Heart attack?" Kara asked, alarmed.

Something odd was going on with Danica today. Who knows what could happen! Worried, she waited for Diana to return. She would know what to do.

"Diana!"

Diana came in a few moments later, hearing her name. With her was a sleek motorcycle, white and gold in color. Presenting it to Danica, she stepped off to the side. "I know how much you like them."

Danica was shocked, gasping softly. Getting up from the table, she went over to examine it. A minute later, she was hugging Diana...her face buried in her shoulder as tears spilled. Diana held Danica for a few moments before motioning Kara over. Kissing Danica's uninjured cheek, the older heroine held her daughter tight without squishing her.

Danica was getting all her feels out!

"Da-" Kara began to say when Diana returned.

But she had the last gift with her. One that destroyed all hopes of Kara ever getting gifts to compare. Moaning softly in distress, she finished sliding under the table. Huddled underneath the table, she hugged her knees to her chest and rocked back and forth. Burying her face against her knees, she couldn't believe Diana would show her up like this.

Kara was crushed.

Diana watched as Kara disappeared. What was wrong with the blonde?

Not knowing that Kara was worrying about being shown up, Diana had just wanted to make sure her daughter had a memorable day. It had been so long since she had gotten to do anything like this with her. Letting Danica get her feelings under control, she knew her daughter will be annoyed that she had cried later, she was content to let her stay.

Pulling away, Danica wiped her face. She cried! She never cried! Turning to look for Kara, she was confused for a moment. Diana just pointed under the table, to which Danica nodded and went under. Moving to sit on her knees in front of Kara, she stared at her lover. "Are you okay?"

	Found by them under the table, Kara didn't raise her head to look. She felt so awful, as if she was responsible for ruining Danica's birthday. She had tried so hard to make this day work... "I am a peach," she answered, getting the Earth saying wrong. "You should put your presents away." That was going to take awhile. There were so many of them! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And I am rather squishy." Danica replied, pushing apart Kara's legs. Lifting the blonde's arms, she wrapped them around herself and leaned against her, nuzzling her face into the blonde's neck.

"I don't want to." She told her, not wanting to be the one to clean all that up, plus, Danica was spoiled. There was a paper mess too! Why was Kara so moody?

"I am tired." she sighed, closing her eyes. She new the feeling of fatigue, but she had never felt it on this level! It was all through her body. Her eyes felt puffy, her cheeks stained...

She kind of felt like a mess.

"Just your breasts."

Her lover forced her way in, despite Kara not feeling like it. Her ploy to get Danica busy doing something else failed. Hearing that the Amazon was tired, she frowned.

"You lost a lot of blood today. You should go rest."

They shouldn't have kept Danica up. After her injuries, she should be laying in bed, recuperating! The stronger one now, she pulled Danica out from under the table, and ignoring Diana, carried her lover upstairs. Placing her in her bed, she tucked the darkhaired girl in. That included removing her shoes and socks!

"Take it easy and get some sleep."

	"I don't want to." But Kara was flying her up the stairs...she could have walked! Tucked in, she looked up at Kara. "Are you going to stay with me?" she asked, already pushing the covers down and sitting up. Reaching out for Kara, she didn't want to lose sight of the blonde. "Please?" She asked, it was Kara's chance! "I'm actually going to sleep." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
