The days passed on Alex, Maggie and Zack settled into their new home. Kara visited as frequently as she could, giving Alex updates because J'onn refused to answer her call. Alex and Maggie signed Zack up for pre-kindergarden, which didn't start for another month. After a week the little family was going stir crazy.

Alex and Zack began doing their morning runs together, which meant every morning Maggie woke up to the smell of coffee and breakfast. However this morning, Maggie woke to no smell only banging in the kitchen. As she walked toward the kitchen she heard, "I got you now mommy!" Zack yelled.

"Not if I can help it." Alex laughed out. Maggie walked into the kitchen to find Zack pinning Alex down, flour everywhere.
"What on earth happened in here," Maggie asked spooking the two on the floor.

"We were making a picnic."

Maggie's brow furrowed, "with flour?"

This time Alex answered still pinned to the ground, "At first we were making sandwiches and cutting fruit. Then jokes started going and some how flour got involved and here we are."

Maggie folded her arms, "and what exacted did you have planned with the picnic."
"The park mama! There's music and puppies today." Zack hopped off Alex and jumped excitedly in front of Maggie.
Alex stood up brushing off some of the flower, "the kids right. On our run we ran past some signs and we saw them setting it up. They're having a whole children's second with face paint and stuff as well. He saw the puppies on the sign and plead to go. I figured why not."

"Please mama can we go. Please!"

"Okay fine but you need a bath buddy but only after you help mommy clean the kitchen. You made the mess and you have to clean it up."

"Zack buddy looks like we got some cleaning up to do."

They got to the park around 3pm, there was already a crowd of people and a band playing.

"Mommy, mama can I get my face painted?"

"Mags go with Zack I'll put your stuff down and meet you."

Maggie and Zack walk hand in hand towards the face-painting booth. Zack at the pictures until he found the one he wanted.
"Mama I want this," Zack pointed to a unicorn with a rainbow in the background.

"Are you sure baby?" Maggie asked.

Alex walked up behind Maggie wrapping her arms around and saw what as being painted on their sons face.
"He chose a unicorn?" Alex asked thinking he would choose something batman related.

"He is a surprising little one that's for sure but he was confident in his choice so who am I to say otherwise."

Alex kissed Maggie's cheek, "you never cease to amaze me Maggie Sawyer. I love you."

"I love you too you big softie." Zack ran towards them, "look, isn't it cool!" Zack said pointing to his face-paint.

"It looks great buddy." Alex said.
After they ate lunch and listened to the band play a few songs, Zack started to get antsy sitting around. A ball suddenly fell onto their blanket. Zack picked it up as a little boy his age ran up to him.

"That's my ball." The boy said. Zack gave the boy the ball and the boy responded, "I'm Ryan."

"Zack."
"Do you wanna play?" Zack turned to his moms and they answered, "go ahead sweetie but stay close." Zack smiled and ran with Ryan to the other kids.

"Look at him go, already making friends like a champ."
"He's remarkable Maggie. He is so well rounded despite all the terrible things he's been through. It reminds me of when Kara first came to live with us."

"Yeah?" Maggie said hoping Alex would go into one of her stories. Secretly this was one of her favorite times with Alex. Alex had a way of expressing her emotions through her stories. This was a side of Alex that only Maggie saw and she loved it.
"When Kara first came to us she looked like a lost puppy but she refused to show it. Only at night when she was in her room she break and crying, letting the tears wet her bed. She would cover it up but I knew. During the day she was like an explorer, touching every little thing. Once she accidentally turned on the popcorn maker and when it started to make noise she got so scared she hid under the dinning room table. At the time she couldn't control her hearing so as she panicked, she began to hear everything even a pin dropping. It was first time I comforted her. I held her tight to my chest one hand on her ear while the other was pinned to my chest so she could listen to my heartbeat. It took a long time for her to calm down; she even curled up on my lap until it was over. A few hours later she went back to exploring like nothing happened with that big Kara smile on her face."

"I don't think anybody stops to think about what she had to go through in order to get hear and be the protector she is. Or even when she doesn't save someone anybody thinks of the toll it takes on her. And the fact that she was Cat Grant's assistant at the too makes her even more incredible. I see why you're so protective of her. I know I haven't been around the both of you for that long but, and I hope I'm not stepping out of line, I'm starting to feel that protectiveness for her too."
Alex smiles, "Kara has her way of sneaking into everyone's hearts no matter how protective."
As Alex and Maggie talked Zack continued to play with Ryan and his friends. They were all having fun until Zack noticed to boys picking on a girl. Zack threw the ball towards Ryan and ran over to the girl.

"You're dads are stupid!" One boy yelled.

"No their not!" The girl said back crying.

"Don't be such a cry baby, baby!" The other boy said.

Zack stepped in front of the girl, "stop being mean." He said chest puffed out.

The taller boy smirked, "oh hey what are you going to do about tiny boy."

"Leave her alone." Zack said.
"What is she going to do about it, go to her daddy and mommy. Oh wait you have two daddies and no mommy. Poor you."

Zack made an angry face, "so I have two mommies."

The taller boy pushed Zack to the ground, "your moms are freaks."

Zack tried to get up buy the shorter boy pushed him down again.

"My moms are better than you, you big meanie." Zack yelled. This time he yelled so loud he got the attention of people passing by as well as Alex and Maggie.
Alex saw Zack on the ground, "oh my god Zack." She and Maggie got up and ran to him.

The two boys saw Alex and Maggie running towards them so they ran away leaving Zack with the girl.

"Zack baby are you alright." Maggie said helping Zack up and checking him for cuts and scrapes.
"I'm okay." He turned to the girl, "are you okay?" Zack asked only to be hugged. Coming up behind Alex and Maggie were to two middle aged men.

"Gabby honey are you alright?" One of the men asked. She released Zack but held onto his hand.

"Dads he saved me from those big meanies. They called you stupid." The adults heart's were crushed.

Alex introduces herself, "hi I'm Alex Danvers, this is my girlfriend Maggie Sawyer and our son Zack."

"I'm Henry Davidson, this is my husband Eric and our daughter Gabby. Thank you so much Zack for sticking up for our little girl."

Zack smiled and blushed when Gabby gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "thank you Zack. You are my hero."

Maggie whispers in Alex's ear, "our son just had his first kiss. We need to start setting some ground rules." Alex laughed at Maggie's words.

"Are you okay buddy?" Alex asks again and Zack nods enthusiastically.

Before the Davidsons leave, Henry turns around, "here is my phone number. Maybe we could set up a play date between Zack and Gabby."

"Thank you I think that's a good a good idea."

Alex turns to Zack, "you made your first friends buddy we are so proud of you."
Zack blushes even more, "Gabby is really pretty."

Maggie picked Zack up, "oh boy, you are too young mister to be thinking that."
Alex laughed as they walked back to their blanket and enjoyed some family time while listening to the bands play.
