Alex sighs under her breath as she pushes her sunglasses higher over her eyes in the early morning sunlight as the door to the cafe swing closed behind her.

Despite knowing he was only looking out for her by denying her from hiding in work the fact J'onn had more or less banded her from the DEO for the next few days stung deeply as she hums along with the tune now playing from her headphone.

It was a little sentimental she knew and more than a little counterproductive to her main goal for the day or rather days until Ryan came back considering she was only tormenting herself by listening to the very song she and Maggie had, had their first skate to but she couldn't help it. With Linda off dealing with what could be either a warehouse fire or an early attempt at a bank robbery, Alex was running out of way to distract from the guilt yet to fade from Ryan's abrupt departure.

She knew how protective her family was of her son, she had nothing to worry about as she makes her way down the sidewalk only to stop dead in her tracks nearly snorting coffee up her nose when she spots an idling Triumph stopped at a traffic light.

It's not because she noticed at least one of the patches stitched to the duffle bag slung over the driver's back. At least that's what she tells herself when she does an honest double take just to be sure she'd seen properly under the cover of fixing her sunglasses against the strengthening brightness of sunlight. Yet the first thought that came to mind was "you're out of your jurisdiction buddy" when she catches the distinct Gotham City police logo printed over the bike owner's oversized windbreaker style jacket as the engine revved impatiently when the light remained halting red.

Not that she could easily tell when the helmeted driver of the waiting motorbike turned her way, but Alex got the feeling the driver was smirking at her from behind the visor when the person (a woman maybe Alex couldn't easily tell) caught her gaping at them.

To cover Alex gestures (comically so) with her coffee cup towards the rider's bike of choice and giving a thumbs up in approval from her stopped place on the curb beside the idling rider before the traffic light changed, and the mystery driver sped off down the roadway leaving Alex free to return to humming along with the change in songs over her headphones and sipping her now cold coffee as she wanders down the sidewalk.

And if she sneaks a glance or two over her shoulder in the pointless hope of catching sight of the Triumph again, she'll deny it if anyone even a stranger pointed it out.

Why she did that she didn't know.

It was just a feeling.

"Alex."

Not that it would have done any good even if she had brought it with her, but Alex's coffee-free hand drops to a weapon she wasn't carrying at the startling greeting from her newly arrived youngest sister. Linda already dipping her head with a guilty "Sorry." As Alex's heart rate lowers to a much more stable rhythm.

"It's alright, goof." Alex sighs wrapping both her arms around her sulking sister even pressing a light kiss to the side of her head the same moment what would have been a familiar motorcycle circled back to drive much slower past the embracing couple.

This time it's only Linda who'd broken into a relieved laugh as she returns her older sister's embrace with a strong one of her own as she gives Alex's temple a soft kiss as well who notices the idling bike before the thing swings back into traffic before Linda could only stair quickly at the helmeted driver.

Linda would have immediately sped over to stop the obviously fleeing motorbike, but the park was filling with others to allow the blonde to smoothly use her abilities in public.

"What's wrong?" Alex asks noticing the now tensed set of her sister's shoulders.

"Nothing." Linda answers but the unease doesn't leave her voice.

"Come on Lin talk to me." Alex pushes not need to take then to know that behind her sister's own sunglasses Linda was currently using her x-ray vision to track something moving fast a block over from them. "come on this is the same look you had the night you lied to Mom about Kara sneaking out to see Kenny then came to me to help you sell it." She remembers already reaching for her phone to send a warning call to J'onn only for Linda's hand against her arm to stop her.

"You had Kara pick up the mail early for a week in payment." Linda chuckles falling into step beside her elder sister

"Not that it did any good." Alex sighed pushing her fisted hands deeper into the pockets of her jacket when she remembered the night had been after one of the three last letters, she'd been able to send before they'd be sent back unopened, and her calls would be stopped by Maggie's then intimidatingly annoyed father.

"I've told you my daughter no longer wants to talk with you. Yet you still call."

He'd sounded particularly annoyed that time, the last time in fact that Alex had bothered to attempt to call the number she'd been given as Maggie's.

"Alex." Linda says her tone softer now as the blonde at her side slips an arm across Alex's shoulders as they walk. "You're thinking of her." It wasn't a question. It never had been between the Danvers sisters. If the twins had the 'crinkle' giving away their inner thoughts, then Alex apparently had 'Maggie face' whatever that was.

"I told you Ryan found the picture." Alex reasoned

"So, this means you want your party at the ice rink?" Linda asks honest curiously in her voice.

"We have an ice rink here?" Alex asks honest amazement in her voice as she tosses her now empty coffee cup into one of the trash bins dotting the park. The coffee it held long cold, but it had given her something to do in forcing herself to drink the last of it as they walked.

"Seems you forgot Kal's other hideaway other than the newsroom." Linda laughs

"Then Ry can't come with us." Alex counters before she could stop herself. She realizes this too late when she spots her sister's growing smile "No. Lin. No way."

"Yes, Alex Yes way." Her sister answers even breaking into a mini breakdance happy dance in the middle of the sidewalk much to her elder sister's embarrassment considering once upon a time she'd taught both the twins those very dance moves mostly as a mean joke in the early days of their sistership as Linda claps her hands excitedly with a giddy chant of "Yes, yes, yes."

"Aaand yeap, both of my sisters were puppies in another life." Alex groaned heavy sarcasm in her voice now as she swings her arm around Linda's shoulders mostly as a precaution considering her sister's eagerness was already causing her to levitate a few inches from the ground.

"But we can have a party, a small one with cake and gifts and skating and…."

Alex only groaned loudly against Linda's shoulder as the blonde goes on as they round another curved stretch of sidewalk. Both of them were too lost in their bickering to see the motorcycle that was now making its third circled loop of the park just to keep the two in sight.
