"What can't a girl call to see how's her second favorite nerd is doing?"
"See you tomorrow," Maggie announced awkwardly covering the phone as best she could, so she wouldn't be yelling right in Winn's ear waving to the only two people at the office she could stand after hours. Her head tilted to one side as she held the phone cradled between her ear and her shoulder as she pulled the gift Kara had left her from under her desk tucking the card inside her jacket "No Schott I wasn't talking to you that time." her smile slipped from her lips just as fast as the still unopened package in her arms dropped back down onto the desktop making several of her fellow officer's glance up curiously while Maggie was still busy listening intently to the other end of her call.
"How minor cause if it's like last time…?" Maggie sighed picking up the box again and carrying it out with her to the safety of her car needing to get away from any more watchful eyes. "No not when you put it like that…. besides it's not like those kinds of aliens take a vacation just because of one human tradition of getting soft on each other." The detective admitted clicking the alarm on her car doors and sliding into the seat.
"Then tell Kar if she really wants to help then tell her I want a picture when she knows what…Of course, I mean That dummy head. What do you mean you guess she already has?" The detective suggested with a shy smile that was fast turning into a sulking pout making her happy no one but her dashboard could see.
Maggie rolled her eyes letting the car idle while she drummed the fingers of her free hand against the steering wheel as the first opening notes of Ed Sheeran's Perfect filled her car and calmed her annoyance the longer she listened. "Alright. Oh, and Schott next time you mess with my music without my permission I will find a way to make your life miserable." The detective warned ending the call on Winn's timid laughter still ringing in her ears as she pulled out of the lot and headed back into the heart of the mean streets of Gotham City.
Alex let out a small uncomfortable huffed burrowing her face more into the softness of Gertrude's fur, so she wouldn't have to think about the dull stab of pain from her healing tibia fracture only adding to the other phantom pains from the lucky hits that alien gang had gotten in before she'd managed to turn the tables back in her favor.
"Kara, will you stop staring at me like I'm going to explode, please? I've told you already I'm fine. Just a little banged up is all, but I feel fine." She promised scratching affectionately at the pup's ear she was still using as her personal fluffy pillow.
The blonde sitting across from her forced a laugh holding up the phone she'd been texting on off and on ever since they'd gotten back to the apartment with a serious expression. "Only if you smile pretty for me Alex." She instructed after reaching out to seemingly artistically tousle her sister's short hair when Alex peeked up from her dog's scruff to meet her eyes.
Alex, on the other hand, was still toying with the idea of just flipping her younger sister off when she took her picture. "I said smile." Kara growled as if reading her mind but to a still slightly drugged up agent Danvers her threat sounded like an angry mew of a fluffy blue-eyed super powered kitten.
"See was that so hard?" Kara cooed then squealed happily and snapped another fast picture of her older sister sticking her tongue out at her while flipping her off at the same time as she playfully shielded Gertrude's eyes from the insulting act. "Where's Jessie at I'm hungry." Alex questioned cuddling deeper into her bed fighting the fatigue trying to set into her tiring muscles. "I'll be sure that our annoyance at this lateness it reflected in the tip don't worry." Kara promised tucking the comforter around Alex's shoulders turning up the volume of her sister's phone as a new song started playing.
"Mmkay." Alex agreed with a yawn cuddling even closer to Gertrude as she let her eyes close and the low tone of Ed Sheeran lull her back to sleep.
