The Monday after the wedding things for the Sawyer-Danvers family went back to normal. Maggie went back to work, Zack went to school, and Alex went to L-corp. Alex opened Lena's door, "hey Lena I'm here to help with Kara's present."
Lena looked up from her computer, "I didn't think I'd be seeing you for atleast a couple more days. No honeymoon?"
Alex sat in the chair opposite Lena's, "no not yet. We figured since we were already on a vacation of sorts that we should wait. We plan on going to Nebraska next month so we're just going to add a couple days onto that trip."
Lena brought up the blueprints to Kara's present, "okay this is what I have so far. I have several ideas. First I was thinking a watch or bracelet she could wear so that it could also protect her when she's not in her suit. I tried creating a synthetic polymer that could we woven into her suit but due to the material of the suit that was a bust. Maybe something could we implant in her boots, that way it isn't visible to her attackers. If we go that route then we would have to make customs boots for her."
Alex thought for a moment, "I think our best option is the boots. We could put the device in the sole of the shoe and reinforce it with steel or lead. This would mean that it has to be thin…. Wait what about her symbol. We could make a plate to go over it and put it there."
Lena lit up, "Alex that's perfect. Since Winn helped make Kara the suit he could help put it together."
Alex called Winn and updated him on their plans, "Winn's on board."
Lena stood up, "alright let's get to work." They left for her lab.
Alex picked Zack up from school, "I have something special for us planned but you have to promise not to tell mama okay buddy?"
"Okay!" Zack said from his car seat. Alex drives to a place called Mini Chefs. She parks and lets Zack out.
"Zack we are going to a cooking class. How does that sound?"
"Yummy!" Zack jumps up and down excitedly.
"Exactly and hopefully I don't burn down this kitchen too."
They walk into the building and register for the next. With payment of the class comes a chef jacket and a chef hat they have to wear during the class. Alex takes a picture to show Maggie when the time comes. They sit at their station waiting for the class to start.
A tall man with a mustache walks in, "good afternoon everyone. My name is Chef Micheals and I will be teaching you all how to make baked ziti. As you all know this is a twelve-week course that you chose to be either once or twice a week. Hopefully by the end of this course you will be making delicious food."
The class began by pointing out all the ingredients. Next Chef Micheals distributed the directions as a guide and took then step by step through the process. While the food was in the oven, Chef Micheals took the time to advertise his cookbook. He also, with the help of assistants, distributed the ingredients to make a house salad, which would be the appetizer. When the food was done, the parents took their dishes out.
"Mommy we did it." Zack said as the looked at the cheesy dish.
Alex kissed Zack's forehead, "that's right baby we did and now we get to eat it."
Once they finished, they went to Kara's apartment, "hey Alex, Zack come in."
"I have a gift for you but you must promise not to tell Maggie." Alex says putting the leftovers down on the table. She lifted the tinfoil.
"Oh Rao is that Baked Ziti!" Kara said getting forks.
"Mommy and I made it." Zack said proudly. Kara froze right as she was about to take a bit and looked at her fork than to Alex, "is it safe to eat?"
Alex nudged Kara, "yes it's safe. Zack and I went to a cooking class."
Kara's eyes widen.
"I want to not burn the kitchen down when I want to make something. Plus I feel guilty that I always have to rely on Maggie to cook or we just order out."
"That is so sweet of you Alex." Kara said with a mouth full of food.
Alex blushed, "we haven't really been out on many dates in a while and I wanted to do something special for her so I signed us up for these classes. When I feel comfortable enough I want to make Maggie dinner. I want it to be romantic candle lit, with wine all of it. She deserves it and I cannot wait to see the look on her face."
Kara's smirks, "Alex Danvers has officially become domesticated."
Alex snaps back, "what? No I haven't?"
Kara raises her eyebrows, "really? When was the last time you were at the alien bar or any bar for that matter?"
Alex thinks then lowers her head in defeat, "okay fine maybe but I wouldn't trade it for the world." Alex said looking at Zack adoringly. Alex phone goes off.
"Hey babe… we're at Kara's. Zack wanted to spend sometime with his super auntie… yeah we're on our way back now… love you bye." Alex hung up, "come on buddy lets go. Mama's waiting for us at home."
Zack hugs Kara and grabs Alex's hand as they exit Kara's apartment.
