Capes
by Laura
Hudson landed smoothly on the penthouse balcony, and tapped on the doors. She was tired after patrol, and wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed with her husband. Lex opened the doors for her, wearing pajama pants.
And one of her capes around his shoulders.
‘OK...’ she thought. “Lex?” she asked, entering the penthouse, and closing the doors behind her. “What’s going on?”
“I missed you, Angel,” Lex answered.
“So you got one of my capes out of the safe?” Hudson asked. She looked at their bed. “You got all my capes out?” she said, raising her eyebrows.
“Yes,” Lex said, smiling. And leering a little. “I also have a new toy I want to play with.”
“What kind of toy, Lex?” Hudson asked, pulling off the cape she wore, and placing it on the bed with the rest of them.
“The latest prototype for a new digital camera that LexLabs are developing,” Lex said. “I thought we could test it out. Hurry up and get out of that uniform, so we can get on with it!”
“OK, OK,” Hudson sighed. Her plans for just going to sleep had clearly gone out the window. What was Lex planning? While Lex got the camera out of its box, she stripped off the rest of her uniform.
Her eleven inch plastic self stared up at her from the bedside table, and she once again had the fight the urge to burn the thing, and to hell with the fumes. She’d been measured for the action figure, but the proportions were all wrong, it bore more of a resemblance to Kara than it did to her. Lex had insisted they buy it, though. After all, the proceeds from all her merchandise did to go various charities.
When she was naked, Lex took one of the capes off of the bed, wrapped Hudson in it and held her close. “I want to take pictures of you, Angel, wearing just this,” he said, regarding her closely.
“This is a little weird, Lex, I’m not sure,” Hudson said, looking up at him.
“You’re practically nude in the spandex, anyway. This isn’t that much different. And the pictures will just be for us,” Lex replied.
Hudson considered this, and then said, “OK, Lex. I’ll let you play with your new toy.”
“Thank you, Angel,” Lex said, and kissed her, slow and deep. Then he said, “Wrap yourself in the cape, and -”
“- Yes, dear,” Hudson said, cutting him off with a smile.
Lex snapped many pictures of Hudson standing up, wearing just the cape; round her waist, round her shoulders. He also took lots of photographs of her on their bed, with her capes under and over her.
And then Hudson’s plans for going to sleep went even more out the window.
And after that, all her capes needed to be washed.
