Episode 3

….

"Rocky Road ice cream in bed? What did I do to deserve this?" I asked with a smile spread across my face as Lois crawled back into the bed.

She laughed. "Nothing, I think. I like food, and I like food even better when I'm wrapped up in my covers."

"So, it comes with the package?"

"I guess so." She swallowed a spoonful and made a satisfied noise. "God, that is good."

"Um. A little over here would be greatly appreciated."

"All right, Smallville. Keep your pants on."

Both our gazes lowered for a brief second, and we laughed.

She swallowed another spoonful and then kissed me. I could still taste the chocolate and was a happy camper. For the first time ever, I think Lois forgot about the food and dropped the carton onto her nightstand. I pulled her into my lap, savoring the feel of her silk nightie against my bare chest.

"Someone help me! My son's in the car! I can't pry the door open! The car is on fire!"

A woman was in trouble.

"Lois," I said and carefully pushed her away. "I need to go."

Disappointed, she crawled off of me. "Go ahead. I'll be here when you get back."

I sped out of her bed and quickly pulled on my uniform before kissing her goodbye and flying out her window.

Episode 4

….

I chugged some more of my beer and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.

Dinah was running an undercover operation with Zatanna in Munich, and that didn't settle well with my stomach.

"Don't worry, Ollie." She had said over the comm. "I have this really great Christmas outfit I think you'll appreciate. I'll be home in no time."

"'Notime' isn't soon enough," I mumbled under my breath and finished my beer.

"I need two, Rex," Shayera told Metamorpho and then looked at me. "You seem to be radiating the Christmas Spirit."

"Thanks for noticing."

"Did you just get here, Shayera?" Metamorpho asked the winged woman. "I didn't see you earlier, and I figured you were…"

"A drinker?"

"No, that's not what… John told me how you used to drink him under the table."

She forced a smile even I could see through. "The Bat and I are hanging out in the other room. Parties aren't our scene."

I raised an eyebrow. "You and the Bat?"

And I received a glare that could have crushed my bones had her eyes been as powerful as her mace. She grabbed the two beers and left me with Metamorpho.

Another voice invaded my thoughts. "Hey, Rex. Hey, Arrow." John Stewart came to stand beside me and offered a smile which resembled his ex's. "Enjoying the party?"

I didn't answer.

"When are we switching bar duty, John? I'm getting antsy."

"Soon."

"Your girl just stormed out of here to be with Bats," I blurted, hoping I wouldn't be the only one sick to my stomach all night.

"He means Shayera," Rex clarified. "She's been spending a lot of time with him recently, almost as much as you've been."

"I haven't noticed."

"Uh huh, and Dinah's really a natural blonde," I blabbed in response to his obvious lie.

Both raised their eyebrows.

And I quickly realized that Dinah was going to kill me.
