Here's the next chapter, the request asked to include Maggie if I wanted to, but I'd prefer to keep these stories focused just on the Danvers Sisters. Thank you to the person who requested it and I hope you enjoy. If anyone has a prompt you'd like to see let me know and leave a comment.
Prompt: Alex gets hit with something that turns her into a kid and now Kara has to take care of her until Eliza or the DEO figure out a way to turn her back.
Kara walked as fast as she could across the floor of the DEO to where J'onn stood waiting for her.
"What's going on?" She asked, anxious about what was wrong.
J'onn had called her and told her to get to the there as soon as possible, but he wouldn't say why, no matter how many times Kara asked.
"No one is hurt, but there's been a little… problem. See there was this- you know I think it'd be best if you just saw for yourself." He said, walking away with Kara following silently behind.
She was working herself into a frenzy trying to figure out what could be so wrong. Why couldn't he just tell her?
They reached a room, one Kara had never been in before since it never seemed important, and J'onn opened the door.
Inside Kara found herself staring at a seemingly normal room with a table and a few chairs surrounding it. The only strange thing was that on the floor, sleeping on top of a blanket, was a child.
A little girl with big brown curls who looked to be about 3 or 4. She was dressed in an oversized shirt and pants that looked a lot like a DEO outfit.
"Who is that?" Kara asked, thinking the kid looked familiar but having no clue who it could be.
"So here's the thing," J'onn said with a hand pressed against his eyes, "I'm just going to go out there and say it…. that child is Alex."
"Huh?" Kara said because she could think of no actual words to use to respond to what J'onn said.
"She was working in her lab on that new chemical we found the other day, and she must've messed something up with it because she touched it once and turned into… this." He said, gesturing to the sleeping kid in front of them.
"I called Eliza as soon as I hung up with you and explained the situation to her, she's on her way here and should be here by morning if not sooner. We're going to figure out some way to reverse this. Eliza says she has some theories about the chemical so we're going to start working on it as soon as she gets here." J'onn finished, looking at Kara to see her reaction to all this.
Kara was shocked to say the least, of all the things she imagined J'onn telling her, this was not even close to ever being on the list.
"What are we supposed to do with her?" she asked as she looked at her little big sister.
"Take her home and take care of her. She was awake a little while ago and doesn't seem to remember anything, so she's pretty much just a regular toddler. I found some baby clothes we had for reasons I don't even want to know, and they're in that bag." He said, gesturing to a bag on the table. "Take her home with you tonight, and in the morning we'll work on reversing it." He said.
Kara nodded, this was definitely a surprise, but she could handle this. Evil aliens, worldwide catastrophes, deathly villains, she could handle all that, so this? Kara was sure she would be fine.
"I'll take care of her." She said as she bent down to pick up her sleeping sister, who remained asleep and settled against Kara.
She smirked at J'onn as she headed out with her sister in one hand and the bag of clothes in the other, this would be a piece of cake.
When Kara arrived at her apartment, she hadn't accounted for Alex to be waking up, she had thought her sister would sleep all night, but Alex had other plans for the night: Crying.
Crying was apparently the plan and seemed to be the only thing on Alex's agenda.
After changing her clothes, Kara held her tight and bounced her gently, trying not to think about how weird it was and just focus on calming her down.
"Come on Alex, what do you want from me?" she said, exasperated by the constant crying.
Alex didn't say anything, just cried harder, leaving Kara to rock her back in forth in a desperate attempt to calm her down.
After a couple of minutes Kara realized her sister hadn't eaten at all. Maybe she was just hungry?
"You wanna eat something?" she said, standing up to move to the kitchen to get some food. As she did, she put Alex down, but the crying only got impossibly louder when Kara let go of her, so she immediately picked her back up.
"Ok, ok, we'll go together then, sound good?" Kara asked even though she already knew the reply would only be more wailing.
Reaching the kitchen Kara looked everywhere for something sustainable for a toddler to eat, which proved difficult since most of her food supply consisted of junk food and sweets.
Finally, she found some leftovers in the fridge and heated it up.
Kara of course had no baby seats for her chairs, so she decided to just take the food and Alex to the couch and eat there.
Carrying a still-crying Alex in one hand and a plate of food in the other, Kara sat down at the couch and put Alex in her lap.
"Look 'Lex, why don't you eat some of this, huh? Doesn't that sound better than crying?" Kara bargained, holding up a fork of food and moving it towards Alex's mouth.
To her surprise, Alex did stop crying and starting eating. "There we go, that's a whole lot nicer." Kara said when the noise finally stopped and a relative quiet returned to the apartment.
"This is going to be so strange to explain to you when you get back to normal." Kara said, feeding her sister another bite. "I'm never gonna let you live this one down."
After a few minutes of eating, Alex got full and refused to eat anymore.
"Okkk, guess you're not hungry then anymore, what do I do with you now?" Kara thought out loud.
It was close to 6 pm, she didn't really know much about babies, but she figured Alex needed to head to bed in the next few hours.
Still that was a few hours away, what to do with a toddler until then?
Alex started to get up before Kara decided on something, moving throughout the apartment and investigating everything she saw.
Kara followed around, unsure what her sister was planning on doing but decided to go with it since she had no plans herself.
Alex just went around the apartment running into things, touching stuff, and throwing objects, and Kara followed after her doing damage control.
After 20 minutes of this, Alex ran as hard as she could onto the couch and was just about to jump off when Kara came swooping in, catching her right before she hit the ground.
"Ok, we need to find something else to do." Kara said, holding a fussing Alex in her arms as she looked around desperately for something to entertain her sister.
Finally, she saw a book laying in an old box, a book she had from when she lived in Midvale. It was probably too old for a toddler, but it still had pictures and Kara was out of other ideas.
Grabbing the book, Kara settled down on her bed with Alex, setting her sister down on her lap as she got the book open to start reading.
Alex seemed interested and leaned back against Kara, looking at the pictures as Kara read.
Soon enough she fell asleep, head leaned back and mouth slightly open, it was both an endearing sight and a strange one.
After all, this was Kara's older sister sitting in her lap asleep.
When she was sure Alex was asleep, Kara put the book down, sliding under the sheets and shifting Alex so she slept on her chest. Yeah this was definitely a strange situation, but she couldn't deny that it was kind of cute, and regardless of what Alex looked like Kara knew she would always love her.
When morning came, Kara walked into the DEO with a sleepy Alex in one hand and a huge cup of coffee in the other.
"How'd it go?" J'onn asked when he saw them, although by the sight he figured he could take a guess.
"Well she's alive, that's all that matters. I had no idea how hard it is to get ready to go somewhere with a kid, much less get the kid ready too."
J'onn smiled, knowing fully well the struggles Kara referred to. "Well hopefully you won't have to do it again, Eliza thinks she found a way to reverse this."
"Oh my gosh I forgot she was here." Kara said, walking towards the lab with J'onn, "How long has she been working on it?"
"Well she got here about 4 hours ago, so ever since then." Kara looked at her watch, it was only 8 in the morning.
Kara and J'onn made their way into the lab with Alex still in Kara's arms. As soon as Eliza saw them, she let out a little "aww" before going over to take Alex from Kara.
"You haven't been this cute in a while, huh?" she said, cooing at Alex who seemed to recognize her.
"J'onn says you found a way to reverse this?" Kara said after hugging her adoptive mother.
"Yes, I think so, lets just hope this works. Set her down on that bed." Kara did as she was told, sitting Alex down on the bed only to have her start to whine. She moved to sit down next to her and Alex crawled into her lap.
Eliza looked at J'onn with a smile before grabbing a small syringe and gently placing it in Alex's arm. "That one is to make sure she's asleep, it's important that she stays asleep while her body makes the change." She said as Alex already began leaning back, settling against Kara with her eyes closed.
"And this one," Eliza said, injecting another shot, "Should do the trick. It'll take a few hours for the formula to work, but she should be back to normal soon."
Eliza started cleaning up, and Kara changed Alex back into her adult clothes, that way when she woke up she would be fully dressed.
Her sister looked ridiculous in a shirt that could count as a dress and pants that were longer than her body, but Kara knew Alex would appreciate it when she woke up.
A few hours later, Kara woke up to her sister's adult voice calling her out of her slumber.
Kara had sat down in the chair next to the bed Alex was in having planned to stay awake until her sister was back to normal, but caring for a kid had worn her out and she quickly fell asleep not long after she had sat down.
"Kara?" Alex called, pulling her sister out of her sleep, "What happened?" Kara looked up to see an adult Alex laying on the bed, looking confused.
Kara let out a little giggle, she had been trying to decide how she was even going to start explaining things to Alex since yesterday but she still had no idea where to start.
"Oh Alex, you aren't going to believe the story I'm gonna tell you."
Hope you all liked it, if you have a request let me know and I'll write it as soon as I can. Hope you guys have a great day/night!
