any otter name 4

Kara pushed the door to her loft close with the heel of her left foot, since her hands were full. Alex was, for once, quiet in the messenger bag she put her in, unlike this morning when she protested and squirmed until the Kryptonian had to carry her in her arm instead.

Apparently today was taxing to her little otter system.

Even though she hadn't done much except played, ate, and napped.

Next time she wanted to be the one got turned to otter.

Kara carefully put the bag containing Alex on the couch before deposited everything else at the kitchen's island with a big sigh. She had to take Alex out of the bag, actually, she'd expected the older Danvers to be squirming her way out of it by now. Maybe that last swim had done her in, she was completely pooped that she barely even opened her eyes to see who was carrying her.

Speaking of…

It was almost a battle to get Alex from Cat.

She had to practically use her superspeed to take Alex from Cat's arm, and even then she had to be careful not to grab too hard, her boss really held on. Until Alex squeaked, mostly because she was annoyed, not hurt, that she released her. Alex squeaked and grumbled the entire time, and Cat wrapped her in soft throw- probably in apology- she only quiet down after a minute of Kara placed her in her messenger bag.

Her boss seemed intending on taking little Ally home, which, of course, was not possible. She couldn't just let Cat Grant take Alex home, she had a feeling that had she let her boss take Alex home she may never see her again. Maybe she should look up some legality of owning an otter or something, for her boss. She was pretty sure it was impossible. Maybe a cat? Ferret?

After a minutes or so of no movement, Kara looked into the bag to see Alex completely passed out. So she gently took her, and the soft blanket that her boss wrapped her in, out.

Kara let her nap on the couch while she went and ordered some food for herself, and put the raw fish and clams in the fridge for Alex when she woke up.

Now, she was going to have to call Hank and see the progress of that gun.

Kara wasn't really sure if she was hoping for the gun to be finished, or not. She knew she would miss otter Alex, she was so adorable in her grumpiness. Even when she squeaked in irritation Kara thought she was the cutest thing she had ever seen.

Everyone in the office said so.

She over heard them, there was no way around it with her super hearing. And when they made excuses to come see her, because no one brave enough to make any kind of excuse to actually set foot in Cat's office. But glass walls… they could still see Alex playing.

The worse culprit was Helen from sale. She was the first one to see Alex when she brought up a some paperwork for Ms. Grant. She went and told everyone about little otter in the boss's office. Then she came up three times, with a folder in her hand, and would stop in front of Kara's desk, and pretended to talk to her, without the talking part, and the folder was the same one. It was amusing at first, for only about a minute. After that it was a parade of people suddenly needed to ask Kara about something.

It was a good thing that Ms. Grant caught on to the people that normally would never be caught dead on her floor suddenly coming up in stream. She put a stop to that immediately.

She really missed her Alex.

She wanted to hug her and cuddle with her, and watch movie with her on the couch, sharing pizza, and Chinese food, and fight over the last potsticker.

Ten minutes and a phone call later, Kara learned that Alex might have to stay an otter for a little while longer. That the best person for the job was actually the person that could not help at the moment. Weird otter toes, adorable squeaks that no one could understand and all that.

Oh, she's not gonna be happy about that.

As a Kryptonian on Earth, Kara had never felt the pain, except that time that she solar flared. But she felt that this might be the time she experience that thing Alex always suffered from when she was stressed, the headache.

Putting the phone down, Kara went back to the couch where she left little Alex to nap, and found her curling on her side this time, instead of flat on her back: her otter toes holding onto her tail. She tried hard to suppress a giggle that rising up and super-sped back to the kitchen island where she left her phone.

With a quickness that only a Kryptonian could manage, Kara took a dozen of photos, mostly to keep in her collection of things too cute to be real, and maybe, just maybe she'd share one or two with Ms. Grant. She was sure her boss would love that.

Sounds of photo being taken didn't wake an exhausted Alex, though. It was probably a good thing, since she would've been squeaking furiously… On a second thought, that might be too cute as well. But Kara didn't want to test that, not yet. She needed to fuel up before anything else.

A knock on the door came, with a quick look with her x-ray vision, the Kryptonian hopped up and rushed toward the door. She was starving. She almost gave the delivery guy a heart attack with how quick she opened the door and took pizza boxes from his hands.

Before the door even closed fully, Kara already crammed an entire piece of pizza in her mouth.

It was almost as if the smell woke her, the moment Kara put down the boxes on the kitchen island Alex woke up.

Alex was tired. She had never had such an unproductive day and still be this exhausted before. Even as a kid, she was always doing something, playing sports, doing projects, and never had she felt so exhausted. The intense training she went through to work at the DEO didn't drain her like this.

And now she was starving. Great!

Alex rolled on her back, her eyes barely open and already, smell of pizza hit her. Kara ordered pizza, and ate without her!

With an indignant squeak, Alex rolled onto her feet, fully awake.

Kara! Pizza!

Before the Kryptonian could react she already kicked off the blanket around her, and swung her body down from the couch. She dropped to her back paws and scooting toward the smell before the Kryptonian could get up.

"Alex!"

Kara leaped from her stool, she couldn't believe that short little otter limbs on Alex could carry her this fast. Alex was already on her way across the room toward the kitchen, squeaking her complaint the whole time.

Kara scooped her up before she could get very far, Alex still squeaking and growling.

'You ordered pizza without me! I want some pizza!'

"No, Alex. I don't know if you can eat it, I don't want you to get sick." Kara tried to explain over the sound, this was probably not the time to tell her how adorable she was. Even with her sharp otter fangs on display, and her paws hitting her shoulder. "I got you some fish if you're hungry."

'I'm sick of fishes, I want something else.' Alex calmed slightly, but she didn't stop clawing at the Kryptonian shoulder. It wasn't like it was going to hurt her or anything. Maybe just ruin her sweater; Kara had plenty of those.

"I got some clams and steak, too." Kara offered up some more choices to mollify her. "Honey, please calm down."

That seemed to do the trick, Kara gave a silent sigh of relieve, and kissed her on the nose. "I'll get you some steak, ok?"

'I want pizza.' Alex grumbled back, but stopped clawing at her. She rested her head down on Kara's broad shoulder, accepting the cuddle.

"Doc said we should stick to raw food for you, since we don't know how other food's gonna affect you."

She settled Alex on the kitchen's island, warning her not to touch her pizza and quickly grabbed steak from the fridge for her. She knew she was going to have to tell her about what little progress that was made on the otter gun.

Alex was going to be pissed. Maybe she should let J'onn break the news to her. That way Alex could not be mad at her for bringing the bad news.

"So," Kara sliced up the meat and fish in short order and plated them all up together. "How about we go into the DEO to check in with J'onn after?"

Dark eyes flicked up to stare at her, and the alien felt something that she was pretty sure was cold sweat at the small of her back. She valiantly tried to keep her expression neutral, but Alex knew her like no one else and she was sure that she was caught anyway.

The next morning Kara woke up to a furry tail stuck up her nostril. Somehow during the night Alex managed to climb from where she started out on her own pillow to the top of Kara's chest, and sprawled out upside down.

"Argg.. Alex." The Kryptonian whined, and pushed the fuzzy tail out of her nose and face.

Alex, still pretty much asleep just squeaked back and curled up, refusing to move; or wake up. Kara could almost feel sympathy for her, except Alex had been such a pain last night, after they dropped by the DEO to see the progress. Well, it was mostly so that someone else could tell her the progress of the solution to get her back to normal.

Even J'onn had bailed on them, and left the team of scientists faced the wrath of Alex Danvers.

It was not pretty.

They all were more afraid of her now than before.

Kara didn't think that was possible, but it was. The entire room jumped when she growl, despite how adorable Kara thought she was.

Alex was all fluffed up with self-satisfaction afterwards, too. The little terror.

At least it left her in a good mood. And it was a good thing that the lighter mood lasted the night, Kara didn't want to think about the mopping. Mopping Alex usually led to fuming Alex, and that was never a good thing.

With a deep sigh, Kara gently placed the tiny terror on her own pillow and slip away to get some breakfast. She took out more fish, and chicken breast, then chopped up some fruits, Dr. Lasgo, their zoologist told her not to give her only meat, but to add fruit and vegetable to her diet as well.

Fruit, she could do, vegetable, she wasn't so sure.

Just when she finished chopping up the fruits and was about to start on the veggy Alex's phone rang. For a split second Kara wondered who would be calling the older Danvers' phone during this time, since most people she knew was also working at the DEO, thus they knew her status as a tiny aquatic mammal. But then the ringtone registered, and her jaw dropped.

Eliza!

From the bedroom she heard a startled squeak. Immediately their eyes found each other's.

One alien and one otter exchanged a look of utter terror.
