Lots happens in this chapter, very long!

Alex and her crew had not experienced the turbulence before or the sensations of a ship. The captain warned them as he tried to steer out of a warp in space. The gravitational fields grabbing hold of the little ship and pulling it in.
"Why wasn't this warp in your star charts?" Alex asked nervously.
"Because it never showed before now. It is an unstable warp in space!" The pilot cried out as he wrestled with the controls.
After bucking and rolling, the small ship succumbed and was plunged into the hole in space.
"Winn!" Alex called out in her earpiece before it went completely silent.
The small ship finally stopped bucking and spinning when thrown out of the warp. The hired pilot was relieved when they came thru the other side.
"Where the hell are we?" Alex asked angrily.
"A completely different area of space..." The pilot told her sadly.
"Can we get back?" She asked alarmed.
"Yes, it is possible. We will have to find the window back into the warp."
"How?"
"I am in the process of doing that." The pilot started recalibrating coordinates, evaluating the small ship's status. Alex's crew of about fifteen heavily armed agents waited tensely for answers. "It's as I thought. We were thrown into another part of the universe." He tells her grimly.
"That does not sound good." Alex commented.
"It's not. According to the ship's computer we are looking at five to seven light years from our last position."
Alex quickly computed in her head being the xenobiologist that she was. "We jumped time!" She gasped.
"Yes," the pilot agreed.
"Shit!" Alex exclaimed. "How far in the future are we?"
"Hard to tell, right now 6 cycles may be a full turn."
Alex had picked up on some of the language. She knew a cycle was close to a month, and a turn she surmised was a year. The translators they were wearing allowed her and the pilot to be able to talk.
"If we find the window, will we still be ahead getting back?"
"Yes. There is no way to get back in the original time line. Best scenario is to get back at all." He explained.
Alex shook her head and went to her second. "Vasquez, let the others know the sitcom. I will stay here and evaluate our status." Vasquez nodded and left the cockpit.
Slipping two pork chops onto a plate each, his covered in the cream of mushroom soup, hers with just the cream. He puts fried potatoes and chopped and boiled carrots on each. A drizzle of seasoning is sprinkled onto the carrots and fried potatoes. He sets the plates onto the dining room table, utensils already lined up with their placemats. Grabbing sparkling apple cider with peach mix into a tall glass each.
Looking around the kitchen doorframe to the hallway up to the bedrooms. "Alex! Dinner!" He calls with a smirk. Slipping a dish towel over his shoulder like a pro.
Having had a long shift she had enjoyed a hot shower and moving out of the bathroom wearing more comfortable clothes Alex would make her way to the kitchen "it smells delicious!"
He smirks at her, "you say that every time, I promise when you take that added time off I'll teach you all I know." He pulls her chair out for her to sit.
Taking a seat she would look over the food before looking up at him "About that, I am not sure exactly when it will be." The smell of the food would definitely have her stomach growling, "I am sure my first attempts will be utter failure."
He tisks as he moves to the other side and takes a seat. "I'm on good terms with your supervisor, she also wants you to take time off," he picks up his fork and points it at her. "And you will not fail with me at your back," he picks up his fork and starts to cut into his chop. "I've got desert in the fridge by the way."
Wanting to take the time off but then not wanting to would have her frowning just a bit as she was slowly coming to realize that besides home and work mostly work she didn't have much of a life of ourselves she enjoyed her time she spent with him and would watch him as they ate, "So cooking lessons, what else do you have planned?"
He bites his bottom lip, unable to hide the smile, "I've got a movie I rented," he nods, "I had to Google on your laptop for rental places. Found it while you were out," he searches his memory, "uhhh Antman?"
Before taking the bite of chop she look at him, "Oh I been wanting to see it sense it came out. And let me guess you and my boss already decided on the dates I'm taking off if you already have it. That's why she said she call me with my schedule." Putting the meat into her mouth eyes would close as she moaned with delight at the flavor and once she swallowed she look at him pointing her fork, "You sir are a genius in the kitchen."
He chuckles, enjoying the sound of her moaning at each dish he's made. The way she smiles when the flavours hit, "it didn't happen overnight and desert isn't something I made sadly. But tomorrow night's will be, need to go to the farmers market and you are going to join me!" He eats some fried potatoes. "And possibly, we both just want what's best for you," he looks at her, "you are brilliant, and need the break and proper brain food."
Heart would actually flutter at his chuckle and wrinkles her nose, "Yours are always better, and you know the farmer market is so not my thing why do I have to go if I am to rest?"
He takes a sip of his drink and sighs, bubbly and a mild kick to it. "I am going to show you where to get the fresh stuff, and I'll show you how to know what is ripe," he smirks, "resting that brain of yours from surgeries, thinking medical, enjoying your day outside of your apartment and the hospital."
He would get the same reaction from her when she took another bite and thought for a moment, "Your here every day and night..."
He shakes his head, "nope," he swallows down more of the meat. "I go out to the gym, go for a run through the park in the morning, grab fresh ingredients for meals, look up recipes, catch the news, and generally try to learn more about this Earth," he eats up the last of his carrots.
"Your here when I get up and when I go to sleep, so your here day and night what you do while I work is a complete mystery," she wouldn't realize she had finish her plate and was sipping on her drink as he kept her entertain.
He smiles and wipes his mouth with the napkin, he takes her dishes and brings them to the kitchen. Setting them into the sink and running the water. "All you need to do is ask..." He glances at his wedding ring he put on the counter at the far side. One of his hardest decisions was taking it off, but being with her helped eased the pain. He turned to her, "I enjoy spending time with you, Alex," he goes to the freezer and takes out Kawartha Ice Cream.
Glancing up she would spot the ice cream and maybe there was something he didn't have to move that would make her feel fat.
"I got us a few small tubs, with my saved up money," he adds, wanting to be sure she knows he isn't using her platinum. "Maple Walnut, Mint Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Strawberry, if I didn't get your favourite I'll get it next time. So far I have yet to find one I don't like."
Shaking her head she would stand up to get the spoons not letting him do everything " well why don't you take over the master bedroom and bathroom and I take over the other one or we can share and turn it into a work out room?"
He freezes as he takes the plastic off, "sh-share? N-n-n-n-no," he waves his index finger back and forth. "I sleep in the guest room, I'm fine with it and you don't want a room smelling of sweat, trust me, that's what the gym down the street is for," he scoops some Mint Chip into a bowl for himself.
Seeing his reaction would disappoint her a bit and would actually dim her enjoyment of the evening as she set the spoons by the bowls and moved to wash the dinner dishes, "it was a thought."
He walks over to her and places his hands onto her shoulders gently, "Alex, it's not that I don't appreciate the offer, and I know you trust me. But," he presses his lips together firmly as he tries to work it out in his head. "Please, look at me." He asks softly.
Standing with a plate in hand would look at him over her shoulder and gave that surgeon face when giving bad news completely blank of emotion, "It was a thought and yeah I trust you, and figured you get more out of the larger room as I'm hardly here as it is."
He clears his throat and turns her to face him gently, hands still on her shoulders. "Alex... I feel like I'd be intruding on your space. It's been an awful long time since either of us has slept next to another person and I don't want you to be uncomfortable with me," he looks into her deep brown eyes. His eyes going back and forth between them, he reaches up to touch her cheek, but feels like it's a boundary and takes a step back. "I'm sorry..." his eyes downcast.
A look of could of been hope would appear only for it to disappear again and gave a shrug as if she didn't care, "Oliver I said it's fine, and as for space that's all it is and if I need space to think you know I just hog the bathroom for a while." Turning back to the sink she would finish up the dishes and set them to drying "And there possible could of maybe been a chance of maybe wanting to feel a warm body instead of cold sheets was not asking for more." Grabbing a bowl of the melting ice cream she would scoop some out and poke his nose as she headed for the couch, "So where this movie?"
He frowns, it's clearly been a while sense he's tried to be friend's with anyone to live with. Picking up his bowl he puts the remaining flavours away into the freezer before walking into the living room. Placing the DVD into the TV he works the unit and takes a seat on the other cushion.
Plopping down on the couch she would curl her legs up as she propped on a pillow and getting a spoon full of ice cream would make sure to savor the cold sweetness, "Mmmm still as good."
He smiles and hits play, eating his ice cream as well, in the corner of his eye watching her. Wondering if something more was going on with her but not willing to risk pushing the matter.
Changing position on the couch which would put her a bit closer to him she would keep her eyes glued on the tv as the opening started and took another bite of the softening ice cream.
Oliver makes a breakfast smoothie for the two of them before going out to the market. Not a coffee drinker and wanting a healthy start, "okay, your going to hate me in the end for depriving you of coffee," he teases. "But this will make you have more natural energy for the day ahead," he grins, "take a sip," he opens the apartment door for her.
Oh he was denying her the gift of caffeine and she was definitely cranky without it as she took a sip of the smoothie as she stepped out the door she had not had a good night rest and was definitely feigning for a big strong cup, "You owe me for this."
He nods, "I'll make it up to you with dinner," he promises as he locks the door. "Electrolyte's, fruits, energy powder for the walk ahead, you'll thank me in the end," he walks next to her to the elevator.
Stopping she would stare at him, "We are walking to the market? Oh no, I did not sign up for this not without my coffee!"
He places a hand onto her shoulder to redirect her, "yes you are, we need to get the caffeine addiction out." He presses the button and goes in, taking her by her elbow to follow.
She is definitely making faces at him as she got tugged along and waited for the elevator to arrive to his button pushing, "It's a set up! You and the boys are trying to kill me you take away my go to line of energy that I have used sense… well as long as I can remember! Making me take time off and now walking to the Farmer market."
He chuckles, "you love my cooking, right?" He takes a few chugs of his drink before stepping out the door with her and going down the sidewalk. It's really quiet at this time of the morning. Even for traffic.
He did have her there and sighs, "Yeah I do, you're better than the restaurant down the street which I am sure misses my card so much, which by the way why haven't you been using it?"
He looks at her, "you want me paying for stuff with your card?" A little surprised, "I thought you would like it that I was handling the food myself." He shrugs taking another few chugs as they go down another street.
Taking another sip she would go quiet for a moment, "There's more than just food that you have brought and it was a question, no reason to get defensive." Sticking the straw in her mouth she would be drinking the smoothie like a life line.
He turns to look at her and smirks, "okay, I'll use your card and make you something special with it, okay?" He takes her down a side street to a block that is pretty much filled with vendors. Fruit, vegetables, meats, kitchen accessories, herbs, soaps, sweets, cheese, and much more.
Slowly she would look around as the smoothie was pretty much gone from the way she had been drinking it, "Not just for me, for us."
He feels his cheeks go rosy, "sounds good," he goes over to a vegetable stand. "Lasagne sound good?" He picks up a tomato and feels it out. "Here, feel this?" He puts it into her hand gently, "give it a gentle squeeze here, you feel that softness?" He watches her closely.
Taking the tomato she would give it a gentle squeeze as he said and would roll it around a bit as she looked it over before handing it back to him, "yeah I would say that would be good for sauces."
Chuckling, "I'll chop it up and crush it for the meat sauce," he picks up another and goes over the carrots. Picking up a bunch of those, then celery, garlic, he pays for them before going to the herbs. Showing her the leaves and picking whole fresh leaves.
When at the vendor for the meats the beefy man behind the table claps happily. "Is this the lady you shower with food?" The man asks in a booming, cheerful voice.
Oliver grins, "yes, Charles, this is Alex and she loves your meats," he looks at her as he is holding the bags and beaming down at her.
Taking everything in nodding and asking questions here and there she would be surprised that he talked about her to someone and offered a polite smile, "So this is where they come from? And he does the most wonderful things with them they melt in my mouth." Holding out her hand "Alex."
Charles takes her hand and gives it a gentle shake, "he's told me a lot about you; I'm Charles, I own my farm outside of the city. All of my meats come from my farm, a friend preps them but I raise them. And I am delighted to hear, I keep telling him to save some for me as I've seen how he handles food," he winks. "You know your way around the kitchen and with this lady," he gestures.
Oliver rolls his eyes, "that's enough before you embarrass me," he looks over the ground beef.
Charles pulls her closer to whisper, "he really likes the way you smile when you have your first bite." He sees Oliver giving him a look and straightens up. "What? It's a compliment!"
Oliver is going red from the embarrassment, "you are not coming here on your own," he advises.
Her own cheeks would turn a light pink as she started to laugh, "Oh is that an order?" Looking Oliver then to Charles "I'm on vacation I would love to see your farm." Leans closer and whispers, "So you can also tell me more."
Charles claps happily, "you are welcome to ride our horses! Come on down tomorrow afternoon!" He gives her a small nudge before passing his card to her with the address.
Oliver feels his cheeks going redder, "n-never an order," he clears his voice, stammering. "I... I thought I told you that in-in confidence," he rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. Pulling out cash.
Charles gives a hearty laugh, "oh I'm confident she knows already," he winks at her and watches the younger man pained.
"I need bacon still and to get cheese, could you go to her and pick up a cup of Parmesan and two bricks of marble? I'll get mushrooms and milk," Oliver gets handed the bacon in the red paper before looking at Alex. "We've got cooking to do," he smiles.
Cheeks still pink the laughter from last night was back as she nodded and tucked the card into the back pocket of her jeans, "Been ages sense I been riding and he's determined to get me out the apartment. I will call you later to set up a time." Looking up at Oliver, "I know I'm going to ruin it so you cook."
He shakes his head, "I told you, we're doing it together, no more of this nonsense about you ruining anything," he chides her before going off to get the remaining ingredients.
Watches him walk off and would admire his backside a longing sigh escaped as she realized a bit more how lonely her life would be without him and shoots Charles a look and smile before taking off after him, "your so much better at it."
Charles gives her a nod, looking at the young duo proudly. Oliver got cheese, milk, and butter. One last vendor was table full of flowers, he pulls out a red rose and holds it out to her.
Lost in her thoughts as they went from vendor to vendor she would come to when her nose filled with the scent of the rose and taking it would give him a look, "What's this for?"
"For coming to join me, you perked up," he smiles as he pays for it. "And really, do I need a reason to give a young lady a flower?"
Smelling the rose she would smile behind the soft petals, "I haven't forgiven you from taking my coffee away just yet."
He wets his lips, feeling butterflies in his stomach at the sight of her with the rose pedals. "I'll... I'll have to live with that," he says softly.
Rolling the rose against her lips she would pull it away to lightly tap his nose "Or for keeping me up late, then dragging me out at ungodly hour. But I have had fun, so thank you." Not caring if there were others around she would place a light kiss on his lips before moving away and started to head down the street calling back to him, "You said lasagna tonight? Your cooking!"
He stood there, feeling mesmerized by her eyes and feeling his cheeks going quite rosy. He watched her get closer and froze, surprised to feel her lips on his. He didn't have time to respond, he blinked and realized she was no longer in front of him. "I... what?" He turns and sees a lot of looks. "Um... wait," he shakes his head clearing it, "no -no- no, you're not getting out of it that easily!" He chases after her.
Laughing again she would shrug as she slowed down so he caught up quicker, "it was worth a shot!"
The blush in his cheeks doesn't fade as he catches up, "I'm going to show you how to chop, I'll do the cooking, okay? Trust me, you'll enjoy preparing food with me," he gives her a nudge.
It wasn't often she seen him blush and she rather liked it and would have to figure out ways to make it appear again once it faded, "Ok that I can deal with."
"I bought you cutting boards, large pots and special cutting knives!" He says proudly, and was surprised by how fast they were back in the elevator already.
Brows arching up in surprise, "So that's the stuff you didn't want me to see?" Sense his hands where full with the food she would use her own key to open the apartment door after they left the elevator and shakes her head. "Don't want me using yours afraid I will break them? What wrong with the pots I already had?" True she never used anything she had as she had eaten out more than anything but she was having fun teasing him.
He shakes his head, keeping a large paper bag hidden from her. "Oh no, your pots weren't big enough, my initial plan was to make a lot of extra so you'd have plenty of meals for work," he sets the bags down and starts rinsing the vegetables. "You didn't have ceramic knives," he smiles at her before pulling the tools out and taking out a special meat knife. "I'll show you how to chop, okay?" He gestures for her to move to the counter in front of him.
Waves the rose and moves to put it in a glass of water and washed her hands before moving to the spot he indicated, "Alright what first, and I'm used to handling surgical steel."
He moves behind her, his chest pressed into her back, he works to remain professional. Taking a paring knife and placing his hands onto hers, "I will show you how up chop first," moving his head to the right of hers and glancing at her neck. Happy she can't see how red he is, taking a carrot, he maneuvers her hands to chop the first one efficiently.
Holding her breath as he was pressed against her back she would nod a bit licking her lips and watched how he held her hand to do it slowly her frame would melt I to his.
He can feel his heart beating faster in his chest, holding her soft and smooth hands in his. Oliver swallows as he feels her melt into him, "good, now you try," he says and lets her finish chopping the first carrot.
Taking slow deep breaths she had been enjoying his arms around her and would nod again continuing how he showed her not wanting him to move away even though she would know it was coming.
He watches her chop away and smiles proudly, "you are a natural!" He says proudly, running his hands up her arms before looking at her face. "I'll leave you to chop up the rest of the carrots, the celery and if your comfortable with it. I'll cook up the meats and start the cheese sauce, okay?" He offers.
Catching bottom lip she almost slipped in the chopping and clears her throat, "Sure." She would sound a bit breathless and have a slightly higher pitch and would clear her throat.
"Great, I promise you'll love it and the desert I have planned," he puts the paper bag into the fridge and chops up bacon. 9 strips of it before cooking it. Then he cooks the ground beef and adds it to the bacon. As she's chopping he starts adding the vegetables and pulls out an onion to chop it very fine and add it to the meat. Then he chops up the leaves and seasoning and puts it into the meat with the chopped mushrooms. "Mmm..." he scoops a small spoon and holds it out for her to taste. "It needs to sit and slowly cook for an hour, and then it'll get tricky."
Lips would part as she blew gently on the spoon before tasting it and licks her lips clean, "mmmmmm and that's were I will bow out of cooking." Turning away she was fighting a blush as she started to Clean up her little mess.
He grins, "okay, but you did a great job for a start," he comments. "One step at a time," he steps forward and places a hand onto her shoulder, "I will clean, you relax-" he hears her phone go off and looks confused.
Nods as she stiffened up under his hand and flashes a smile, "Must be work." Moving away she would grab her phone and reads over it real quick "I have to go in for a little bit even though you conspiring for me to be on vacation this is a patient I had been working with from the beginning." Moving to him she would place a hand on his bicep "I look forward to dinner."
He nods, "it's fine, lives matter," he smiles down at her. "I'll have it ready for you when you return, I promise," he turns to the meats and stirs it while starting the cheese sauce.
Wanting to see that blush again she would kiss his cheek, "I can't wait." Hurrying away she would grab her keys as she didn't worry about changing as she had clothes already there.
His cheeks go rosy at the touch of affection, the brief feel of her soft lips. He wished he could grab for her, to talk to her about these small gestures. But he knows Alex has to go to work, he watches her over his shoulder as she leaves.
Seeing that she had to stay longer than was expected she would send Oliver a quick message and apologize before wiping her forehead with the back of her arm.
Oliver had finished with dinner preparations early. Leaving it to cook in the oven while he went to the gym. He'd come back covered in sweat as their showers were under maintenance. He slipped into the shower, set his phone onto the counter and then the power went out as he finished rinsing his hair. He was careful with stepping out to not trip or slip. Finding his phone he lights up the room and groans, "forgot your towel... brilliant," he looks at the bathroom door and steps out. "I've got to invest in a touch screen," he mumbles and is grateful Alex work's late tonight. He smirks as he opens the linen closet just in time for the lights to come back on. "How's that for timing?" He comments aloud.
Having finished her shift and half of another she would of let herself into the apartment as the lights went out and to tired and dirty she would not think of it as she could probably walk it in her sleep as she moved into the hallway only for the power to come on and to have her tired gaze filled with the sight of him completely naked she would of sworn it was her mind playing tricks with her as she moaned, "Maybe I should of turned down going in."
He jumps, in the middle of reaching for a plush towel, turning to see Alex there. "Oh... Alex, I wasn't expecting you-" he looks down and immediately covers his privates with both hands. "-To be home so soon."
Eyes would run over the areas of him and she would of gotten a good look before he covered himself up "I can tell." Stepping down the hallway she would reach past him to grab the towel for him as she inhaled the scent of him licking her lips she would straighten back out as she held it out to him. "If I had known that you streak when you don't expect me to maybe I should of put cameras up so I can fantasize about you more then I already do."
He takes the towel and swears that more than his face has just turned red. It takes a moment for him to register what she'd just said, his heart skips a beat as he just stares at her. His mouth goes agape as he doesn't know of what to say. Finally after another moment he moves his left hand behind the back of her neck and holds her as he closes the distance to kiss her, rubbing the back of her head gently before pulling away to look into her eyes.
She had been on the verge of giving up and heading to her room but when he stepped closer and cupped the back of her head she would move hands to his shoulders as the kiss was returned, eyes would be closed when he broke the kiss and they would slowly open the dark brown even darker now as she stared back.
He watches each of her eyes before he cups the right side of her neck to head area and kisses her again. This time he takes a deep breath, enjoying the feel of her lips against his own, smelling her unique scent, listening to her breathing as he takes a step closer to her. His body pressing into hers.
Breathing faster through her nose hands slide along his shoulders as he stepped closer and even if the kiss was soft it was enough to coax a moan from her as she pressed against him.
He moves his right hand to her waist as he takes another step so her back is to the wall. When he feels this, his heart skips a beat, pulling away from her lips he looks at her concerned. "I'm sorry... I never expected-" he doesn't know what else to say. Suddenly feeling unsure as they'd never spoken about this and he can feel his body wants to do more but he's afraid of taking advantage or going too far.
Being pressed into the wall she could of gotten away but he was making her feel so alive and moans wanting more and putting hands behind his head she would yank him down to her lips again "Shut up and kiss me like you want me."
His eyes widen at this statement, realizing she was serious he kisses her again, tilts his head to the side and deepens the kiss. Parting his lips he wraps his hands around her waist and pulls her firmly against him, pressing her into the wall again and feeling his body temperature rising from the excitement.
As the kiss deepened and his grip tighten she was definitely remembering she was a female with needs and not a robot that just worked and came home as hands travel across his naked back a moan low in her throat as she rubbed against him in her dirty work clothes she had even forgotten she hadn't eaten sense she had seen him last as her stomach let out a large growl.
He pulls back to look at her, "hungry are we?" He smiles down at her, "I'll get dressed and pull the lasagne out of the oven," he caresses her right cheek while looking deeply into her eyes. "I promise I am not done with those lips," he brushes his thumb over her lips gently.
Cheeks flushed and those eyes would stare right back and would try to catch the pad of his thumb to nip at it "I'm starving, I'll set the table." Leaning back against the wall she would be trying to catch her breath as it felt like she had been running for miles.
Kara and Kara slept soundly through the night. Kara Queen woke up early and decided on fishing. She fashioned a spear out of a long stick, chiseling down the end to make it sharp. She decided to let her twin sleep as she stripped down to her underwear to go fishing.
As she walked down the beach to the waves, an unsettled feeling came across. Almost a feeling of danger. She wondered what that was about. She dismissed the feeling and waded out in the water. She had been fishing for a while, she had lost track of time, but she had continued to spear and toss upon the shore. She had probably caught at least 10 fish, before she headed back.
As she swam back to shore, she felt something wrap around her foot.
She looked back and saw an impossible creature just in back of her pulling her towards it with its sharp pointed tongue. Kara panicked and thrashed in its grasp. She couldn't free herself. Heat vision was no good under water, and she could see the deep maw lined with teeth that she was being dragged into. She climbed up to the top of the water, barely breaking the surface she screamed out- hoping her twin would hear.
Supergirl comes out of her fog of sleep, sweat all along her hair line, and sweat covering her body. She sits up upon hearing a cry and clutches at her head while feeling a burst of adrenaline. Taking to the sky she sees her twin is in danger and dives at the tongue that is wrapped around Overgirls' leg and making her hands into a point with the trajectory she manages to get the tongue to release.
Kara Queen flies away and back to the beach. "Thank you." She panted gathering their fish.
Supergirl lands on the sand and sighs, feeling good after having been in the water. "That was refreshing," she smiles, "are you okay?" She watches her concerned while she takes her top off to try and get less hot. Feeling herself start to get heated up quickly but also feeling the adrenaline not going away.
"I was about to ask you if you are. you don't look well my dear."
Supergirl looks up at her, curious as she tucks a lock of hair behind her ear. "I'll be fine... are you okay? It could have eaten you," she says and looks down to see the fresh sweat already building up and frowns. 'Alex would have my ass for this... it's just the planet right?'
Pulling off her skirt and boots she sees a marking on her upper thigh and curses in Kryptonian under her breath. Taking a closer look, it's a small cut with the skin looking inflamed. A slight bright green line can be seen, and she recalls that evil plant she ran into. "Is it possible it was manufactured?" She looks up at the sky, "if so... it could be why we're the only ones here in an otherwise beautiful place... not safe for the locals," she mutters to herself and feels sweat dripping down her back and falling between her breasts.
"What did you get into?" She asked curious, "Let me see." She walked over to her, slightly limping from the tongue grabbing her foot. She sees the injury. "Was it a sentient plant?"
Supergirl frowns and watches her, "you shouldn't be walking! I'll get you a cane or something," she gets her to sit.
She looks around for something to wipe the green slime off. There was nothing- so she used her cape to clean it off. "It's infected, and you are flush." She puts a hand on her forehead. "Kara you are sick with a fever!"
She grabbed her up, and both half dressed, she flew her to the falls. She landed into the water, both coming up for air. "Under the cool falls now." She told her sternly pulling her under the water fall. "There, now feel a little better?"
She pulls what little clothes Supergirl had left, off, and pours the fall water over her face. "Poor baby! That plant made you sick. Did it look organic? Or do you think it was a weapon?"
Supergirl went with her still concerned for Overgirls' leg but enjoys the feel of the cool water again. She spits out the water and thinks it over, "it was sentient... it was tracking my movements even when I flew without making a sound and lashed out," she recalls.
Overgirl checks her swollen and cut up foot. She hissed when she touched it.
"Joy! Killer plants! Just what we need. This island is more dangerous them I originally thought."
Supergirl looks at her foot as well, "algae? I'll see if there's any on the bottom," she takes a deep breath and goes under to come back with a glob of it. "Here," she places it onto her skin.
"You get attacked while I am a morning snack!" She commented bitterly. Overgirl hissed. "Hurts!" She cried out. "How can that monstrosity hurt me? For that matter how was that plant able to hurt you and make you sick?" She wondered. "We're Kryptonians! We are impervious to pain with our powers!"
She frowns, "genetically enhanced? I wonder if these things are the reason why no one else is here," she climbs out of the water to search for big leaves and vines but feels her fever start to weigh in on her before she falls to her knees. "Rao... why?" She mumbles before crawling back into the water.
"We still have them. I flew us here and you rescued me. Stay in the water it will help keep your temp down." Overgirl scolded. "We are not on a hospitable island."
Supergirl blows bubbles in the water in a groan, "nope..."
"I wonder if this is a living organism and it launches weapons at all unwary travelers?"
"Reminds me of an episode of Sliders... jumping from alt earth to alt earth before the one their friends are on gets destroyed. Thought they found the perfect fit... turn out there was dinosaurs," she swims over to her, "I'm sorry," she frowns.
"If the island is alive we are in real danger." Kara Queen looks at her puzzled. "Is this those fake "shows," You watch to pass the time?"
Smirking, "yes," she giggles and wraps her arms around her.
"TV you call It? I have only been at your home once and it was NOT a happy occurrence Kara. It was when my enemy stabbed you. "
Kara's face falls at the memory and her hands drop, "yeah... that... that was scary."
"No cuddling for you. You are sick." She grabbed her up and set her on a cool wet rock constantly being sprayed by the falls. "You do look gorgeous my nude girl." She bent down and kissed her forehead gently.
Supergirl frowns as she is sitting up there, "feels strange for someone else to keep picking me up," she gives a small smile. "Me?" She feels her cheeks blush, "the sight of you in that creek on the other planet... I didn't know my body could be that alluring."
She then limped painfully out of the water, also nude and saw a tree with more fronds on it. She pulled the soft fronds from it and reached for her underwear and wrapped the injury with the cloth and the leaves. "This should absorb the poison." She told her attaching the makeshift bandage with vines. "Sorry I had to use your underwear pants." She told her frowning.
She too had the frown crinkle Alex was always teasing Supergirl about. After examining her handiwork, she sees the bandage is indeed absorbing the poison. "We should see about getting off this island when we are feeling better." She told her, hissing again from her own wounds from that aquatic killer beast.
"I bumped it on your rock. Now my foot is throbbing." She admitted half walking half crawling back into the cool water.
Supergirl wants to stand up and help her but knows she'll get scolded. "Use the algae I got from the bottom."
"Hurts", she muttered, choosing to ignore the advice.
"Once again we are a pair." Supergirl laughed, then hissed thru the pain.
"What I want to know is how these creatures got through our steel skin?" Overgirl wondered aloud.
Supergirl wets her lips, "if they've been experimenting with kryptonite now that our planet is gone to see how it can be manipulated... it's a terrifying thought." She watches her and gives her head a shake. "If I didn't upset you then neither of us would be hurt."
"This isn't your fault. I am not sure that was kryptonite with the plant. And the creature was just a nasty sea animal."
"We know nothing about this planet..." Supergirl comments and rubs at her face as her leg starts feeling better and she notices she's stopped sweating and the adrenaline has left her body.
"Did the bandage of fronds work?" She continued to soak her foot in the cool spring. "We have to get that fish I caught before it spoils." She told her still in the spring. "I must have gotten us ten fish each." She told her trying to test the foot. She tried to walk on it and nearly fell. "Guess I am flying everywhere." She grabbed up her clothes, what was left of them and grabbed Supergirl's too and hand in hand they flew back to the shelter.
Once back she props up a chair and ushers Overgirl to sit while she gathers the fish, uses her heat vision to get a fire started and then gets sticks. She puts them together, fashions a couple of branches to act as a grill and lays them out. Flying back to Overgirl, "how're you feeling?"
"My foot is throbbing. How are the fish? And how are you feeling?"
"They're cooking and I'm fine," she looks around, "man I wish I had some ice," she frowns.
"You are not going to find ice here." She reaches for a stick with grilled fish. "Very good! I wonder if that is why that beast grabbed my foot? Because I was taking its food supply. I just wish I would have seen it sooner. I almost got eaten!"
She ate more fish. "You grill very well for someone who can't cook." She told Supergirl smirking.
Supergirl takes some fish for herself, "the outdoors makes it look easy," she comments.
"As you know I had to make a bandage for your wound out of the palm fronds and your underwear. I um... I hope you still have shorts under your skirt." She commented blushing.
Supergirl feels her cheeks go rosy, "no just my skirt..." she watches her closely. "I don't mind."
"But now you are exposed! I am so sorry!"
She grins, "my skirt helps and it's only your eyes." She finishes eating a couple of fish.
"No that is not acceptable." She immediately puts her fish down gets up hopping on one foot, "I'll be right back," and flies off. Only a few moments later she flew back. Landing and falling in the sand due to her foot she reaches out and hands Kara some slightly wet underwear.
"I washed them on the waterfall, they should dry soon if you put them in the sun. I have leather pants. I don't need mine."
Kara looks at her surprised, "you didn't have to do that..." she sets it up to dry near the fire. Just enough for residual heat to warm them. "Don't think I'll look nearly as good as you in those leather pants," she comments as she sits down next to her and glances at her leg. Seeing that the redness has gone, and she already feels like her old self.
"It will keep you protected in that open skirt of yours. It's the least I can do since I ruined yours turning it into a bandage. Really sorry about that." She looks down at her leather pants. "Not the first time I have gone what the humans' say- commando." She grins.
She smiles at her, "it's fine, you were looking out for my well-being," she eats the last of her fish and moves closer to her from behind and kisses her shoulder.
"You kinda can't in that skimpy short skirt of yours." She laughs. She reaches back for her and presses her face next to her twin's. "You're so sweet and selfless." She traps her close to her and hugs her. "Come here." She pulls Supergirl around her and places her in her lap. She bends down to kiss her on the lips, delicately so she didn't harm herself. After kissing gently, Overgirl yawns and realized she is tired. She finished the last of her fish portion and crawl hops into the shelter.
Supergirl giggles and watches her for her ankle, wanting to make sure she doesn't hit it. "I'll keep the fire going and watch for anything new... I'll protect you," she smiles and watches her get comfy.
"Thank you. My foot is swollen and sore. I think that thing had venom. I wonder if I had been human if I would be dead now?" She sighed as she settled into the sand.
Kara Danvers upon looking out the sea, spots a serpent in the distance.
Overgirl doesn't see it as she is drifting off. The serpent is not going to the island, it seems to be heading out.
As Supergirl watched, she spotted another serpent swimming up next to it. They swam away together. She got the feeling they were in a hostile environment.
Supergirl watched closely and once she was sure they were of no threat she looked around the camp and started to set up for triggers. Finding vines and taking sticks and setting up a perimeter so when they sleep they'll have some comfort. While she's at it she finds large leaves and balls them up, using them as a cushion and propping up Overgirls ankle and keeping it elevated.
Once she is done with that she sets up more triggers, having them go around the trees and across the entrance to their home. Making piles of rocks to get snagged and topple and trying to set up traps. Vines that'll launch around a tree and smash a pile of rocks into the entrance of their makeshift home. Finally, she stands at the opening to their little home and watches over their area.
Overgirl suddenly starts gasping. Supergirl spins on the spot and kneels next to her, "are you okay?"
She's moaning from Pain she's half-asleep and trying to grab the foot. She's almost acting feverish.
Knitting her eye brows together she gingerly looks at her ankle. The area is infected, and she curses to herself. "I'll do the same treatment for your ankle that you did with my leg..." she takes off at super speed, putting Overgirl's panties on and quickly cleaning her original panties that had made a bandage at the falls before using the Fronds and super speeds back. She sets the bandage on her ankle and once she is sure it's fully covered she goes back to her post.
Overgirl wakes up and blurts out- "Hurts!"
"Sorry," she whispered, "go back to sleep," she takes her top and soaks it in the water. Careful of the creatures and places it over her forehead.
She whimpers in pain suddenly it hurts more than it did before. Supergirl looks at her dressing and examines her wound. She notices deep wounds forming around the foot in the ankle and most of it is becoming very infected. Sucking her bottom lip between her teeth she contemplates. "I think I'll have to cut open your skin to get the puss out. Clean it in the water and redo the bandage." Looking at her, "you okay with that?" Seriously considering it.
She is becoming delirious from the obvious venom. Supergirl picks up Overgirl gingerly and carefully maneuvers her through her string of traps and super speeds back to the water fall. Once there she sets her down on the water's edge and she places her left leg into the water and her right leg on the grass. Examining her leg, she takes the dressing off and decides to use her heat vision all along the enflamed area down her foot.
Once she sees the puss starting to spill out she puts her leg into the water and is careful to ensure at the end blood is coming out. She inspects the gross sight, sure that all the infected area is clear she takes off her top and bra. Using her bra she makes a fresh dressing and makes sure her leg is closed up. Quickly rinsing the panty bandage again, she uses them on her foot to ensure the open wound is sealed up and dressed.
Scooping Overgirl into her arms she takes her to the top of the waterfall, in the hopes that being closer to the sun's rays will help her to heal up faster. Setting her into the mossy grass she sets herself up on a boulder so she can watch for any creatures.
Overgirl cried out in pain from Supergirl's ministrations. Once placed in the sun she writhed in agony on the grass. She had been dealing with so much pain as of late, and her pain receptors had definitely been heightened.
"Hurts!" She cried out as she writhed. "This island is going to kill us!" She moaned out.
Kara kneels next to her, she'd hoped she would pass out and sleep it off. Biting her bottom lip -she looks around, "I will go and find us a ship or I can stay here with you until your better."
"No! Don't leave me! I'll get eaten or something! This island paradise has turned into a living Hell! The flora and fauna are toxic to us! We both have been attacked!" She started to sit up to examine her foot only to have a wave of dizziness hit.
She rubs the back of her neck, "okay... I'll stay here with you while you recover," she kneels down next to her. "Wish I could just call 911... miss the DEO yet?" She tries to lighten the mood. Supergirl could tell her stricken lover was about to vomit.
"Rao!" She cried out holding her stomach.
Supergirl knew it was the venom on the creature's tongue that had poisoned Overgirl. She wraps her arms around her shoulders and rubs her back in circles. Knowing the same gesture once helped her, "I'm here... you're going to get better, and then we're getting of this planet."
Overgirl tried to crawl away to get sick in private. She managed to make it in a bush, then pushed her way into it and retched. Supergirl could tell her entire meal had been purged. After a lengthy moment of getting sick, she saw her stricken partner fall limply to the ground in the bush.
Supergirl frowns, from one predicament to the next it seems. She moves over to her and picks her up gingerly, careful not to jostle her and gets her back into the sun.
"Why can't we just be at peace?" She asked looking up at her weakly.
"I need to rinse out my mouth. Help me to the spring?" She put a hand up against her partner's face cupping it. "Thank you for your care." She realizes other than the nausea, her foot is not throbbing as much.
Supergirl scoops her up, "want to soak in the spring?"
"You just bandaged me. Just a drink would be nice." She bites her lip. "I am so sorry to be a burden. You had to ruin your bra. Now you have no bra!" She moaned.
Supergirl smiles, "it's fine, your health is more important than underwear. I still have your leather panties. If I lost you... it would just be me trying to survive and then I'd have to contend with the Sorceress," she sets her down next to the falls.
"The Sorceress? You are right. Rao she is still in me! You think if I die she will take over?"
Supergirl nods, "without a doubt, I don't think about her but knowing our situation she popped into my head."
"Then I am incredibly dangerous to you!" She moaned feeling sad.
She places a hand onto her forearm, "I'm not afraid... I'm not leaving you and you WILL get better. Oh and I saw a set of serpents out in the water, they swam away from our island."
"Sea serpants! What kind of place is This? We landed on a very dangerous planet! They might come back to try to eat us!" She shook her head. "I don't want to get eaten, I have been through too much to die that way!"
Kara wraps her arm around her protectively, "I would never allow that to happen." She kisses her forehead.
She reaches up and puts a hand on the side of Supergirl's face. "We need to leave this island as soon as possible. But you need more clothes. Do you have your disguise still? I think I packed my stolen clothes in a bag I am carrying. You are welcome to the pants sweetie."
Supergirl shakes her head, "nope... my focus was getting off that ship and losing those guys from this planet and well..." she smiles, "just trying to stand on my own two legs but we keep getting bad luck."
"Okay well it's a good thing I thought to pack them. They are at our shelter. Use the pants dear." She smiled up at her shifting her position so she was now facing her.
"How is your wound?"
"I am starting to feel better. The nausea is going away."
Supergirl pulls Overgirl to her and lifts her to herself. "I'll fly slower, my leg is much better," she smiles, "thank you for taking care of me. It's my turn to care for you." Lifting off she brings them to their shelter, setting her down carefully on a bunch of leaves instead of the sand. Not wanting to chance the sand getting into the dressing. She finds the bag and pulls the pants on.
"Now you are protected my dear." She told her shifting to her side to face her properly. "We are good for each other aren't we?" She asked biting her lower lip in contemplation.
Supergirl looks over at her, "yeah, why do you ask?" Curious as to what would bring this up. Walking over to her.
"I was just thinking about Oliver and your Mon El...We both lost them. But what if at some point we make it back? I don't think I could go back to Oliver after having you in my life. I think I am much more into you actually." She blushed looking down.
Raising her eye brow, "you are? Really?" She sits down in front of her. Listening, happy to see that her fever is gone and is acting like normal.
She nodded. "I feel guilty about Oliver, but I can't ignore my heart. I really did start to feel something for you very early on." She admitted looking up into her face. "I am sure you disliked me, and you had every reason. I was not a nice person."
Swallowing she nods, "I try to not think about home... makes me a little home sick," she looks down at her hands. "I do miss Mon-El... but being with you has changed things for me. I don't see myself with him... if anything of those on Earth I miss Alex the most." She looks up at her, "I was afraid of you due to your intentions and then angry... then we were forced to work together- and it changed everything. I enjoy being in your arms Kara, I enjoy being with you," she smiles, "I love you."
"I love you too sweetie." She held out her arms to embrace her, pulling her down beside her to cuddle with her. "I am sorry I didn't see that creature in time. I was so focused on fishing I never thought of the dangers of the water."
She looks around her. "Who knows what dangers are lurking around here. Sea serpents for sure!" She kisses her on her head. "You are so sweet to take care of me." She looked at her in the eyes. "You really want to be with me over Mon El?"
She caresses her face, "you are what matters to me," she kisses her gently.
Overgirl kisses her back. "You mean the universe to me." She kissed her deeply. "I love you so much and wish we could just find a place to be happy. We have been thru so much lately." She sighed hugging her tightly.
"I think if you had not gotten rid of that vile venom I would have become even more ill." She confessed sadly.
She hugs her tightly in return, "I'll find us a ship but... I don't trust you on your own out here," she looks at her in the eye. "Not just ill... I'm sure I would have to contend with Sorceress," she kisses her again but this time she parts her lips to deepen the kiss.
They kiss long and hard. "I wonder what they call that thing that wanted to eat me." She smirked coming up for air from the kiss.
Supergirl giggles, "don't get me started... I was once a reporter," she presses her forehead against Overgirl's.
"You could still be one- warn people away from this menace."
Excited for the new episode this Sunday? I honestly don't mind it being on Sunday's. I wonder if Lena is going to finally learn the truth, with Kara being out of commission. I really hope that their friendship survives.
Thank you for reading and please be sure to review!
