You arrived back at your home in Metropolis to find an eerie silence enveloping the house. As you stepped inside, the weight of solitude pressed against you.

With a click, you locked the door behind you, the familiar sound echoing in the quietness. Shedding your coat and tossing your keys aside, you ventured into the living room.

Just as you were about to call out for Kara, a blur of motion caught you off guard. Swiftly, Kara flew towards you, her hands instinctively covering your mouth, her expression fatigued yet urgent.

"Shh... Please, don't startle them," she urged, weariness evident in her voice as she placed a finger on her lips. With a playful glint in her eyes, she continued, "The twins are finally asleep."

You couldn't help but chuckle softly at the clandestine moment, relief washing over you as Kara lowered her hands from your mouth, her fatigue momentarily forgotten. "I'm sorry but, it seems they found their way to your office," she confessed, her tone betraying a mix of exhaustion and amusement. "Let's just say, toddlers and super strength don't mix well with gaming chairs."

You arched an eyebrow at Kara's confession, a hint of concern flickering in your gaze. But before worry could take hold, Kara's reassuring smile enveloped you in its warmth as she drew you close in a comforting embrace.

"Just a little mischief, no real damage done," she assured, her hands finding their place on your cheeks. "Clark ran some tests; they won't be lifting cars anytime soon."

With a relieved sigh, you relaxed into Kara's embrace, grateful for the peace of mind she provided. As she pressed a gentle kiss to your lips, you kissed her back, enjoying the moment. After the brief exchange, she looked at you with caring eyes, eager to hear about your day despite the exhaustion of tending to the twins.

"So, how was work, honey? Did you have a good day?" she inquired, her voice laced with warmth and sincerity, a testament to her unwavering support and love for you.
