Getting to Know ( Your Inner Child )
byXavAcid
Chapter 4 : it's a bonding exercise, really, it is!
They were heading out to the desert when little Alex piped up from the backseat once she noticed that they weren't going in the direction that was Kara's loft.
"Are we going to the base?"
"Yes, baby. We are going to get you check up and then get some updates." Kara turned down the music they'd been listening to answer. "We have to see Dr. Hamilton, you remember her?"
"Yeah, she works with me."
That surprised the Kryptonian a little, of course she knew that Alex recognized people, but it seemed spotty at best. Sometimes she said it like she knew and remembered everything, the other times… it was like she'd never met them before, or she only knew their names.
"You remember?"
She looked at the little brunette from the rear view mirror and saw her looking out the window with interest, so her answer was probably not something she thought about.
"Huh?" Little face turned, and their eyes met.
The Kryptonian gapped for a moment, apparently this was to be one of those time, before schooling her face when she saw little frown forming. "Oh, it's nothing. We'll go see Dr. Hamilton and you can visit with J'onn a little bit, ok?"
Little Alex just looked mildly interested, but she didn't look exactly happy. No doubt, remembering the day before when Dr. Hamilton ran series of tests on her. Kara couldn't really blame her, she didn't like getting poked and proded by a doctor either, unless that doctor name was Alexandra Danvers.
Shortly before they got into range of the desert base, the Kryptonian pulled to the side of the road, she didn't really need to worry about traffic, since the road was pretty much deserted. No one was going to travel out this way, unless they had something to do with the D.E.O. She wondered how they justify building the road that general populace never used.
Before a question could come out of a curious girl, Kara stepped out, and changed from her slack and sweater into her Supersuit with a quick spin. She then hopped back into the vehicle.
The cape was in the way, though, and she had to fight with it when she settled into the driver seat. Last thing she needed was to step on it when she was trying to break, or accelerate or something. Apparently her fighting with her very own cape was funny enough that it had her little charge giggling from the back seat.
The Kryptonian just laughed with her and started the car back up.
Good thing there were no other cars on the road.
Agent Luis and Agent Simmon was having a slow day, which was to be expected for ones low in the totem pole as the two of them; especially when they were on security duty like this. But they knew better than to slack off on the job.
Being in the middle of nowhere afforded them the sound of approaching vehicle before they could even see the actual vehicle itself. The two agents looked at each other and straightened up as soon as they heard the rumbling of a truck engine, just in time for the familiar black SUV came into view. They readied themselves and stepped up when the vehicle came to a stop at the gate.
It took only a few seconds for the plate to be scanned. Agent Luis went to the driver side window, he got the surprise of his life when window rolled down and the driver was not who he was expecting.
"Um… S.. Supergirl?"
If he was not mistaken, this was Agent Danvers' vehicle, so, why was Supergirl driving it. He had never seen or heard of Supergirl using the entrance. She had her very own entrance that could only be access from the air. A landing pad that was reinforced especially for her, according to the grapevine.
"Hi, is everything alright?" Her sunny disposition threw him off a little. He was so used to stone faces, or scowl from the other agents when they came through it was refreshing to see a smiling face, even if a bit disconcerting.
"Yes, ma'am… You're clear.. Um.. ma'am?" He paused when his fellow agent made a cutting gesture at him, completely with wide, frantic eye movements. It was not their business to be questioning their resident Kryptonian. And not when their resident Kryptonian driving the lead agent's vehicle. Even if there was a little girl sitting in the back seat.
There was a little girl in the back seat...
"What is it?" Large blue eyes widened just a bit more, looking as innocent and wholesome as they all heard Supergirl to be.
"Nothing, nothing ma'am you can go ahead." Agent Simmon stammered while his partner seemed to be struck mute, either by her smile or was too afraid to question her.
"Thank you." Supergirl called out and rolled the window back up.
She drove right in, leaving the two agents standing guard in dust.
"So, we are going to see J'onn first." Supergirl took little hand in her own and led the way into the base. She decided that it would be better for them to just bypass the command center, that way they could limit the amount of personal that knew about Alex's unfortunate incident.
"Do we have to see Dr. Hamilton?" Little voice questioned, she didn't like to see doctor, she felt fine. "I'm not sick."
"I'm afraid we have to," Supergirl spun around to face her little brunette, she crouched low to be on the same eye level. "It'll only be a little bit, then we can go home, and I'll ordered some food."
"And Winn can come over, so we can put together the printer, right?" She seemed perk up at the reminder of a new piece of machine waiting for her.
"Yes, he'll be over as soon as we get home, ok?"
Little Alex beamed up at her at the prospect of putting things together. Kara was looking forward to seeing that, she suspected that Winn would have his hands full with trying to build the machine and keeping a rein on the five year old genius. Or it could be the other way around, seeing how her hacker friend was practically vibrating out of his seat as their work day came to an end. And he was so disappointed that he could not get a head start while they made a trip to the D.E.O base.
Oh, the Kryptonian shuddered at the thought of little Alex found Winn already started without her. She had her recollection of Alex's reaction at someone jumping the gun to make a very good guess at what would happen. And it would not be pretty.
Although at five, her destructive power would be limited.
She hoped.
The Martian was having a busy day, he was down his second in command and he felt that very keenly. Especially when most of the work that she did landed on his desk, he also had to delegate most of her lab works- the ones that could be run without her direct supervision, and others were put on hold, and it really sunk in how much Agent Danvers did on her day to day work.
Not that he didn't know that already, he had every intention of grooming her for more responsibilities, and to replace him if necessary. But knowing the amount of work that he assigned to her and actually having it right in front of him was different, especially when he considered all her other side projects and missions.
And to top that off, Supergirl had been texting him numerous times to ask about their progress, or lack thereof. He knew that she was impatient, that the progress they made, were so small that it may as well not be any progress at all, and their resident hero was not used to that.
Especially now that the one person that could help them make the quickest progress was the one that could not help.
At least they had Dr. Wells, they did recruite her mainly because she was so familiar with weirdness that they dealt with on the regular basis. While Agent Danvers was unable to help, Dr. Helena Wells was the next best person he could think of to be in charge of investigating the device. On the plus side, she brought with her wealth of knowledge that could very well give them other ways to fix the situation they were in. If nothing else, they could perhaps borrow something from her old job, but until then, they still had to find the criminal that were collecting these alien artifacts.
There could be something more dangerous, and there were enough people that liked to get their hands on such things that the D.E.O could hardly let it slide. They needed to know who were collecting these things and where they were from. None of those were the things that Supergirl could fly in and punch away. Well, maybe she could after.
Now he felt the pinch behind his eyes, he'd long understood that this was what human called headache, and he got it more often in the last year than he had in the last ten years ever since the Danvers set foot in the D.E.O. With quick rub at the bridge of his nose, he reached blindly into his secret snack drawer to grab a small pack of oreo. He was running low.
He was going to have to grab some more very soon, or he would not last this latest crisis.
And he would need something to bribe the five year old with. And their resident Kryptonian.
On that note maybe he could go and get more supplies now, before they arrived. A chirp in his ear piece alerted him of the incoming message. He didn't have the time now, since the message was from the command center, relaying the message from the agents at the gate that their resident superhero was on the permiss.
He quickly closed his snack drawer, maybe he had time to run to Alex's office. He was sure she had a stash of snacks he could pilfer. There had to be a pack or two of Choco, he was sure.
And he was back to his office just in time for the two Danvers to arrive.
"Ah, Supergirl." J'onn in Hank Henshaw's disguise looked up from his paperworks the moment the duo came through the door to his office. "Hello Alex."
"Hi, J'onn." The Kryptonian smiled widely as she ushered little brunette into the room.
"Hi, J'onn" Their littlest lead agent piped up.
J'onn had to crack a smile at the adorable five year old, he tried to keep things professional while they were at the D.E.O, although for the Danvers, he allowed himself to show more affection than he ever would with anyone else, they were like his daughters. So he let himself come around the desk and gave the little girl a hug.
Soon it was Alex's little hand in his larger one as he chatted with her about her day.
Supergirl trailed behind and watched quietly with a smile, she only filled in whatever information when the little brunette turned to ask her for confirmation of certain things. The image to was too sweet for her to interrupt or interject anything more.
On the way they encountered quite a few agents, most of them did a double take when they saw the director leading a small child by the hand. None said a word and only gave the trio a polite nod in greeting.
The Kryptonian supposed that working at the D.E.O meant strange things were the norm, and most of them probably saw weirder things than their normally stern Director smiling and chatting with a five year old. At least he wasn't using baby talk. That would weirded everyone out and might cause some of them to think that someone was disguising themselves as their fearless leader.
She wondered if the rest of the base knew this adorable little five year old in Nightmare before Christmas hoodie and black hi top sneakers walking along with their boss was their genius second in command.
And before she knew it they walked through medical bay and arrived in front of Dr. Hamilton's office.
"Oh hello Supergirl," Dr. Hamilton came out greeted them with a smile, which got bigger when she turned it on their little lead agent. "And how are you Alex?"
Here the little brunette seemed suddenly reluctant, she turned her big hazel eyes to the resident Martian, then Kryptonian. With a nod from each of them, she puffed out a little- it was all so adorable, that Kara just wanted to pick her up and cuddle her- and said "I'm good, thank you."
Gently she reached for her small shoulder and guided her into the office, the Martian and Kryptonian remained just outside the door.
With Agent Danvers being one of the best agents, and an alpha team leader, Dr. Hamilton often interact with her. Most of the medical techs were intimidated by Agent Alex Danvers, and she would use that to her advantage, and would get away with not getting her injuries checked out. She would only wave them off, and none dare contradict her. So, as one of the senior medical staffs, Dr. Hamilton had to step in if only to save her staffs from quitting.
They also corroborated in various projects. And the most recent one was when Supergirl got turned into a doll size Kryptonian- and that was only the most recent one. When she was recruited to the D.E.O she never thought things would be this interesting.
At least, Agent Danvers was adorable at this age, and whip smart, too.
"Alright," she guided the little brunette to sit in of of the chair, while she sat in the other. "How was your day today?"
As soon as they left the D.E.O Supergirl made a quick call to her friend; at the insistence of her young brunette, but only after she called for some Chinese food. So that they did not have to wait long before the food arrived, she was starving. And she was pretty sure that Winn would be waiting by the front door by the time they arrived.
He was pretty eager to get started.
Actually, he even asked if he could just get a head start while they were going to the base.
That was met with a death stare from her little brunette.
Even as a little five year old, Alex could still scare the stuffing out of Winn.
It was a little disconcerting to the Kryptonian that even as an adorable child, Alex could still give that particular look that sent Winn running. She'd always thought that it was the D.E.O training that equipped the now littlest Danvers with that talent, apparently it wasn't. Though, she could've sworn that she'd never seen that look on her before when they were growing up together. At least nothing so scary.
She tilted her head slightly to look at the little brunette child in the back, 'well, or maybe Winn was just scared of Alex in general'.
After she finished with the call to their favorite Chinese place, she had to do a quick calculation of their amount, since Alex was little now and she couldn't eat as much as she did, but she still had to factor Winn into it. Still, her own and little Alex, plus Winn's wasn't as much as she would order when it was just the two of them. She didn't even have to order a third helping of potstickers.
Then Kara made a pit stop and once again spun herself back into her regular clothes and continued their track back home. The little brunette once again reminded her to make a call to Winn.
"I'll bet he's gonna be there even before the food." The Kryptonian joked once she hung up from the call. Her friend was indeed pretty eager to get start. Giggles from the back was the agreement she received.
She was glad, even though little Alex tolerated being poked and prodded by Dr. Hamilton, and she was being so good about it, she didn't complain once - Kara would know, she kept an ear trained on her the entire time afterall - it didn't mean that she wasn't annoyed by it.
She'd decided against stopping at Alex's office, and her lab was still under quarantine. Kara had no idea who was the scientist that was going to figure this out now that Alex was out of commission, and almost could slap herself - and she would've if she thought it wasn't going to weird little Alex out- that she did not ask J'onn while he was there.
But she trusted him to put the best people on it. They were going to fix it soon, and everything was going to be alright. Alex would be back to her old self and they were going to go on that dinner.
"Kara, I found some things here on the forum," little voice piped up from the back, broke her out of her increasingly depressing thought. It appeared that little Alex didn't stop researching at all, and the closer they got to the loft, the more excited she became. She even told Dr. Hamilton all about the printer that was waiting for her to assemble earlier. The look on the good doctor when they came out of her office was almost funny.
"Baby, maybe you should wait until we get home before you start reading on the tablet." She didn't even hear her pull out the tablet.
She glanced up to meet large dark eyes via the rear view mirror and smiled when the little girl put her tablet down with a huff. At least little Alex was listening.
Imagine telling Alex to do something she didn't wanna do, she thought to herself, yeah, not happening.
"Hey!" Kara super sped over to the door and opened it in one smooth motion. It was Winn.
"Hey, Kara!" He quickly stepped inside, with a large tool bag in hand. "Hi Alex!"
"Winn!"
"I brought tools!" He hitched up the bag on his shoulder a little for them to see, "and some ice cream!"
"Yay!" The five year old ran out from deep inside the loft to take the bag of ice cream. "Hi Winn." She didn't forget to say before heading over to the kitchen.
Winn opened his mouth to say something but the little girl was decidedly out of earshot now.
"She's excited." Kara pushed her friend into the room and closed the door in one smooth motion. "I thought she was gonna fall asleep on the way back, but she perked right up when we got home. And what's in the bag?"
"Oh, this?" He hefted up the bag on his shoulder. "Tools, in case."
"You know that Alex has a bunch of tools here, right?" Kara gestured at the open box sitting in the middle of the coffee table, there was a box of tools beside it, also a very sleek laptop, one that Winn knew was the best secret organization could make.
Winn pouted at her. "I just thought it's better to be prepared." He dropped everything completely and practically leap at the box as soon as he was in sight of it. "Oh my God, Kara! This is Mk3!" He exclaimed loudly as soon as he saw the prints on the box. Not fair!
"Um… really? I don't…" The Kryptonian looked a little confused. She didn't really know the different, she just tried to pick the best for her Alex. She would've gone for that other one that cost like four times as much had she had the money, and Winn didn't stop her. He stated that Alex would appreciate the experience of putting a kit together. Besides, they would need to tinker with it sooner or later.
"Yeah, didn't you notice that it was more expensive?" He wrapped both arms around the box, looking in all the world like he wanted to just run away with it. Of course, he knew that he would not get even a step forward before he would be caught, probably by Alex, tackled him to the ground, he imagined a manly scream echoing the hallway as she maimed him with her pinky. He really didn't think Alex would miss it that much if he ran with it. She has access to a bigger and better printer at the D.E.O anyway. But she would never let him get away with it
Kara rolled her eyes, seriously, how was she going to know that? She just ordered whatever the newest.
Winn had been waiting anxiously since he clocked out from CatCo. He was planning on just ran home, grabbed his tool bag and just came right over to Kara's loft. His friend put a stop to that plan, of course, she had to go to the D.E.O desert base for a check up. So he had to cool his heels for a while, but he came over as soon as he got her text that they were on their way back.
Hey, he actually stopped to buy some ice cream.
Probably a good thing, too. Neither of them were giving him a hard time for being so eager.
"I ordered some Chinese, did you eat?" Kara asked over her shoulder as she went to stop little Alex from digging into the ice cream and ruin her appetite.
"Um.. yeah, I had some tacos earlier." He reluctantly pried his hand hand off of the box, finger by finger. He really really didn't want to let go of the box. "But I can still eat." He would never say no to food.
Then Kara waited till he pried his little finger away from the box before leading him over to the dining table. That was new, he had been to many many game nights, and they never really once sit at the dining table, except that time during Thanksgiving that he did not want to mention. Most of the time, as far as he could tell, they would just sit in front of the tv and eat.
And before they could set out utensils, the doorbell rang once again. This time it was the food.
"Ok, this has to be 100 mm." Winn handed over the digital caliper so that Alex could make the measurement. He thought that he might have to do the majority of the work with little five year old Alex handed him things here and there, and not being much help at all. He was wrong, so very wrong.
He knew she was a genius, Kara told him about it enough time already. But a genius Alex Danvers as he met her, and an adorable five year old? This was when he really appreciated how very smart she was.
While he did the research before hand, well, he did it as soon as he knew that he was going to help her build it, he didn't really look closely at the photos of the box that she showed him. A mistake really, or he would've known that it was MK3. He also assumed that little Alex would be looking at the building instruction of an MK2s, she was not.
Two heads turned at the sound of Kara taking a picture.
"You're taking pictures?"
"Well," Kara looked a little sheepish. "Carter's been texting me, and he was asking for some pictures."
Little Alex frowned a little, but dismissed it. She was much more interested in finishing the task in front of her.
The truth was that Kara was texting J'onn, she wanted to know who was working on the case, and if she could help speed it up in anyway. She didn't get the chance to stop by the science laps while they were there earlier, because she did not want to leave her precious little brunette while she was with Dr. Hamilton. Besides, she could not get anymore information out of the Martian about who he was putting in charge.
Maybe if she visit the person to get the update directly he wouldn't have to be dealing with her texts right now. The good doctor took quite a bit of sample from little Alex, with the bandaid on her arm and cheek swaps, they should be getting some sort of results back now, shouldn't they?
She wasn't going to bother them that much. Just every five minutes or so.
Because she'd learned from Alex that a lot of things could happen in five minutes, and she needed the updates!
But then Carter texted, asking- politely, of course - if they were building the printer now, and that he would like to see their progress if it was alright. So Kara replied to him and took some pictures. The texts she got back was clearly him very excited, and after this she probably should ready herself for ordering another one of this for Ms. Grant.
She watched the two - her hacker friend and her little brunette- hundled over the pieces, dark heads nearly butted against one another, parts of the machine arranged in some sort of weird order on the coffee table, boxes were strewing about, the video of someone building the same printer on the TV screen.
She also took a quick look at the booklet that they got with the kit, it was so… details. Apparently the one online was much much more details, with the comments and such from other people, or so Winn told her. More instructions were always good.
Little Alex looked so adorable in her black, skeleton glow in the dark pajamas, she was holding one of the parts out to Winn, while pointing out on the screen. They were mostly arguing about what needed to go where, and somehow, little Alex was winning.
For a minute there, the Kryptonian considered jumping in with them, then decided against it. She didn't want to get between them while they were arguing about wires, it was more fun just watching.
And documenting, of course. With lots and lots of pictures.
Winn was having a good time, he didn't really know what he was expecting, but this wasn't what he envisioned. He thought he was going to order the printer at the same time Kara did, and perhaps build it simultaneously with Alex one night or something like that. Not building with little Alex, but to be fair, he never imagined meeting Alex while she was being five year old, either.
He also got the be the witness to a monumental occasion.
He'd had dinner with them before, usually on game nights, the Danvers duo would negotiate before they would order while ignoring the rest of them, and even then, he saw Kara stole food off of Alex's plate numerous times even though she still had plenty on her own plate. And he saw the agent just turned a blind eye. Everytime.
And now he got to see his friend surrendered the last potsticker to the littlest Danvers, it was kind of hilarious, really. Especially that forlorn look she sported when little Alex put it in her mouth and happily chewed.
That was something he never thought he would ever see, ever!
James made that mistake, like all of them made, with the exception of Alex, of trying to take more than one potsticker when they had their games night. Kara nearly fried them with her heat vision, he remembered she singed the hair on James Olson's arm, and that was when she had a crush on him.
And Alex? Alex just smirked and gave them that, 'I told you so' look while continue to eat her portion. They did notice that she got two potstickers from the beginning.
None of them ever thought that the Sunny, and kind Kara Danvers would react that way about food. She wasn't even apologetic about it afterward, it was not exactly what he imagined her reaction would be. Well, he didn't know what he was expecting, but it certainly wasn't her trying to fry them with her heat vision.
Alex just rolled her eyes when they complaint about it later.
"Here you put zip tie here," Winn gently directed little Alex to tie the bearing to the extruder carriage.
"That looks almost like a face," she commented while little hands busily pulling the tie tight.
"It does, doesn't it!"
"Yeah, this is the nose." Alex little finger pointed at the little posts timing belt looped around and locked in place. She allowed Winn to cut of the excess plastic tie.
"I think a bolt goes in there." Winn turned to fish out a long m3 bolt from the bag. "Maybe we could do the cable chain for this later, huh." He chatted conversationally as he gathered up the wires, which little brunette once again graciously allowed him to do.
Alex found her hands and fingers a little less coordinated than she thought they should be, and it felt weird, all the wires weren't hard to do, some were even easier because of her smaller fingers. Winn's hands were too big, she thought, and he got too nervous for her liking, but she found it easier to just let him plug things into their respective places. His jittery fingers by her hands were just annoying. She wanted to bite his finger the next time he did it.
She wasn't a baby, she knew how to read, and all these wires had nice clear tags on them. There was no way she could mistaken anything. But Winn fluttering and twittering when she grabbed the wire was annoying. Kara told her earlier that sometimes it was easier to just let him do it. So he wouldn't give himself a heart attack, how could someone give themselves a heart attack with it, she wasn't sure, but she didn't want to know, either.
She kind of like Winn, so she wanted him to be alive for her to poke fun at.
And he was afraid of her, the big her?
It was all so vague, like when Dr. Hamilton talked to her, she knew Dr. Hamilton- Abby, and J'onn, he was big and green, but he wasn't big and green all the time, and he was not big and green today. Things were familiar, and - not.
What she did wonder about but for moments here and there was, where were her parents. She trusted Kara, knew Kara. She also felt that she should be here, instead of back home, in Midvale. But she wasn't worried about it.
And she liked when Kara fuzzed over her, like when she came out of Dr. Hamilton's office after she had her blood drawn, the Kryptonian asked if she was hurt, which it didn't. She even get extra hugs and kisses. She got extra scoop of ice cream as soon as Kara saw the bandaid on her arm.
This was fun.
Mom and dad would never let her stay up this late…
"Kara?"
"Yeah?" The Kryptonian looked up from her phone, Carter stopped texting her a while ago, she assumed that either he fell asleep or his mother caught him texting late and made him go to sleep. So, she started chasing down who could give her information.
So far, no one answered her at all.
Even Agent Vasquez.
"I think Alex is done for the night." Her friend gestured at the small body slumping by the coffee table, face down. She was out for the count.
That was… unsurprising.
It was nearing midnight.
"Oh… I should get her to bed, huh." Kara tilted her head to the side, trying to figure out the best way to move her little brunette without waking her.
"Are you almost done?"
"Well, only a few things, some wire management, and run the calibration and stuff." Winn rubbed his eyes, they were getting dry and gritty. He really wanted to finish it, they were so close.
"Do you wanna finish it, and crash here tonight?" It would be kind of cruel to make him go back home this late, and she couldn't really fly him home. She couldn't just leave Alex alone, not even for a few minutes.
Winn stretched his back, wincing when he heard his own spin cracked. He really really needed to stop slouching, he was not a Kryptonian, slouching was bad for his back. He so envious of Kara right now, she could slouch all she wanted, and it wouldn't really have any long last thing effect.
He was getting tired, but there was also very few things to finish up. Eyeing the couch, he figured it looked comfortable enough.
"I'll grab you some pillow and blankets." Kara already guessed what her friend's answer would be. He was too excited over the printer to just leave for the night to come back tomorrow evening. Not when he was so close, as he said it.
"Thanks, Kara." Well, it was only one night, he'd pulled plenty of all nighter before.
Gently, she picked up the little girl after calculating the best angle which to jostle Alex the least.
Would it be like this if they had children?
The thought made her unexpectedly happy.
Cradling small body to her chest. She told her friend she'd be back with pillow and blankets.
He barely looked up from the machine.
Kara woke up with the sun shining into her face, and normally that would be great, better than great, she did get most of her energy from the sun, after all, but not today. Today she just wanted to borrow back under her comforter and went to sleep. But one small foot stuck under chin made it impossible. How did they end up in this position, she had no idea. Alex did not move around much when she sleep, apparently little Alex was not the same, seeing how she ended up upside down, and her foot was where her head was supposed to be.
So she carefully extricated herself, and arranged little body right side up and left the bed, that was when she noticed the noise. Weird squeaking noises.
"What is that noise?" The alien grumbled as she stumbled through the door of her bedroom, blonde hair sticking up every which way. She must be more exhausted that she originally thought, because noises like this wouldn't allow her to sleep otherwise.
How did Winn-
Who was flat on his back, blanket barely covering him. He was dressed in a pair of sweats and t-shirt she lend him, there was drool on the side of his chin. And snoring… the sound of snoring competing with the squeaking.
The printer was chucking away, creating quite a bit of squeaking noise. So, that was where the noise came from. Did they forget to lube those bearings?
"It's done? Cool!" Little Alex shot pass her straight for the machine.
She didn't even hear her get up.
Her hacker friend snorted once and sat straight up. "Flying monkeys!"
Man, it's gonna be a long day.
Bonus :
Kara was reaching for the last piece of pot stickers with her chopsticks while still chewing on one. They were so good, they were the best of food Earth had to offer she was sure. If it was the only thing left for her to eat for the rest of her life she would be happy.
A small huff was the only thing that stopped her from popping it into her mouth. So the Kryptonian swallowed her mouth full and turned to see a pouting five year old, eyeing the potsticker speared at the tip of her chopsticks.
Poor Winn who barely got anything that wasn't on his carton that he first grabbed, looked back and forth between them. He thought for sure that his Kryptonian friend would refuse to give up the potstickers, they were her favorite after all, and he had yet to see her giving it up to anyone.
But after only a heartbeat she handed over the last potsticker to the little girl, even as her eyes watering up.
Right, he'd seen everything.
a/n : It took me a while to get this done, I hope you guys didn't get bored of waiting, and I do hope you find this entertaining. Kara is trying her best. Alex is having fun. So is Winn. I've been distracted by a new printer, or rather, figuring out what I did wrong. Tinkering is half the fun, I'm telling myself this. MK3 is a newest printer by Prusa, great stuff, I wish I have the fund for it. More things will be happening by next one, Supergirl is waiting to hit something.
Thank you for reading, comments are awesome and let me get the idea off what works and what could be improved. Favs are great, too. You guys have a great one!
