It all happened so fast one second she was ready for Barry to speed her downtown to the saloon where Kara and the girls were waiting then next she blinked and after a few seconds found herself in an alley in front of a tuxedo store.
'Wow that was some rush!' Alex said breathless. She was no stranger to the superpowered she remembered all the times Kara and J'onn flew her with such speed but the way Barry ran her here was unlike anything she ever experienced.
'You okay?' Barry asked concerned out how Alex was one part excited and one part uneasy. Barry knew sometimes people would have different reactions to when they were super sped by him the first time they were either in awe or were upchucking their lunch.
'Yeah…I'm fine…just…surprised that's all.' Alex said trying to catching her breath. 'I mean Kara's flew me many times but that was…new.'
'You should see me when I'm actually going fast.' Barry chimed in.
'That wasn't your fastest?!' Alex asked in shock.
'A light jog at best.' Barry smiled. 'So how did it feel, running with a speedster?'
'It felt like falling…but sideways.' Alex tried to explain.
'Well I'm glad you didn't puke.' Barry said in relief.
'That was awesome why would I puke?' Alex asked as if it was the most absurd thing she ever heard.
Before Barry could say anything the sound of a motorcycle caught their attention. The two saw a man roughly their age with dirty blonde hair and an unshaven face get off the bike and approach them.
'Barry who's your friend.'
'Oh, perfect timing,' Barry said heartily as the man came forward 'Alex Danvers, Oliver Queen. Oliver this is Alex, Kara's sister.'
'Kara's sister? Nice to meet you.' Oliver greeted as he extended his hand to which Alex grasped firmly.
'Wish I could say the same.' Alex replied through her insincere toothy smile. 'Aren't you the guy who was a douchebag to my sister?' Alex began getting a sense of satisfaction from the shocked look that formed on Oliver's face.
'Well…in my defence a super strong alien that can shoot lasers from her eyes warrants some sense of suspicion.' Oliver tried to justify whilst at the same time trying to keep his composure from Alex's intense gaze.
'Don't take it personally he's always like that to something new or someone new.' Barry intervened trying to defuse the situation.
'And in the end, I was wrong about your sister. Kara truly is invaluable.' Oliver said with genuine sincerity in his voice.
'You're damn right she is.' Alex said pridefully 'Well I'm off to go meet her. Thanks for the lift Barry. It was nice to meet you Oliver.'
As Alex walked off Oliver turned to Barry.
'I like her.' The Star City mayor said to the speedster.
'Join the club.' Barry approved.
Next up Oliver and Kara have a heart to heart talk at the Jitters reception. And Alex may meet a few of the Legends.
