A/N: Thank you to SpencerFan for the idea regarding Elle that will come up in the next couple of chapters. Anna - Thanks!

"Unbelievable." Alex said as she stormed into the lounge.

"It wasn't me." Adam said defensively as Kara sent him a questioning glance.

"What's wrong?" Kara asked.

"Mom." Alex complained.

"What's she done?" Kara pressed.

"When I said I was babysitting tonight she made me promise that I wouldn't cook."

"Why?" Elle asked.

"Because your grandmother loves you and wants you to be safe." Adam said to his daughter earning a glare from Alex who asked.

"Since when is home cooked food worse than takeout?"

"Um, since you and Kara were old enough to try cooking." Adam explained.

"Why is auntie Alex looking at you like that?" Elle asked picking up on the glare.

"Yes auntie Alex, why are you looking at me like that?" Adam asked smiling.

"Elle won't always be there to protect you." She warned.

"Who am I protecting you against?" Elle asked confused.

"Look at the time, I think we have to go We don't want to upset Cat." Kara said before hugging Elle and saying. "Be good for Alex."

"I will." She said hugging her mother back.

"Make sure Alex puts you to bed on time." Adam said as he hugged his daughter.

"Who'll put Alex to bed?" Elle asked concerned.

"I will when we get back." Kara promised her.

-00-

"Do you think we should try to encourage her to date?" Kara asked as they walked towards the restaurant.

"No." Adam said.

"But-"

"No."

"She-"

"No."

"Why?"

"Last time you tried to set her up she threatened to disown you and I nearly ended up with a criminal record."

"Don't be so melodramatic. Besides, that was before she knew how fun dating could be." Kara argued.

"If Alex wants to date, she will." Adam said. "Forcing her into dating is only going to end one way, badly."

-00-

"Kara, what can I do for you?" Lena asked the next day as her best friend entered her office.

"Sorry, are you busy?" Kara asked.

"I can always spare five minutes for you." Lena smiled. But as Kara saw the charts spread over her desk she said.

"Damn, I forgot, you have the board meeting tomorrow. I'll go."

"I could use the break." Lena assured her. "Really." She added when Kara looked doubtful. "So what can I do for you?"

"I need your help."

"Of course, anything."

"Do you know any good gay clubs?" Kara asked causing Lena's eyebrows to shoot up.

"Should I?"

"I don't know. I just thought some of your high ranking contacts may be gay and ..."

"Imparted their knowledge of National City's gay scene onto me?" Lena asked.

"Something like that." Kara confessed.

"Why?"

"I am trying to get Alex to put herself out there."

"Wouldn't she be a better person to ask?"

"Um, well I haven't exactly told her." Kara confessed.

"Is that wise?"

"I just want her to be happy and move on. Adam said I couldn't matchmake so I thought we could go out to a club and help push her in the right direction."

"But you don't know any clubs so came here?" Lena guessed. "Why not ask the entertainment editor at CatCo?"

"That is why you are a billionaire and I live rent free in my daughter's house." Kara said.

"Speaking of whom, where is she? I thought you had big plans?"

"She's just outside. Jess had cookies." Kara said as her phone rang. Apologising to Lena she answered the call.

"Hey Winn...How bad?...I have Elle….okay I'll figure something out."

"You can leave her here." Lena offered as Kara ended the call.

"But you have the meeting to prepare for."

"I'm sure Elle can draw in my office." Lena said.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Thank you. I'll send her in. I'll be back as soon as I can."

A minute later the door opened and Elle walked in.

"Hello Elle." Lena smiled. "Your mom said you were going to draw a picture for my office."

"What would you like me to draw?" Elle asked as she took a seat on the couch.

"Whatever you like. You're the artist." Lena said.

"Okay." Elle replied before drawing on some paper that Jess had given her. As she silently drew Lena went back to her desk and reviewed the latest figures. After a couple of minutes Elle commented. "Mom said you're really busy."

"I am." Lena said not looking up.

"And that I wasn't allowed to disturb you. So I'm not going to talk. I will sit here and not speak. Because speaking could disturb you so I won't talk. In-"

"You do realise that you are talking now?" Lena asked amused.

"To tell you I'm not going to talk, so it doesn't count." Elle argued. "And if I didn't tell you, you may worry about why I'm not talking."

"Do you want to go to the park?" Lena asked locking her screen.

"Mom said you were working."

"Right now that seems highly unlikely." Lena said moving round to where Elle was. "So the park?"

"Really?" Elle asked beaming.

"Really." Lena offered.

"With ice cream?" Elle asked.

"Don't push it." Lena replied.

"Awww."

"We can stay here and work on the spreadsheets." Lena threatened.

"What are spreadsheets? Are they like bedsheets?" Elle asked.

"No." Lena laughed. "Definitely not like bedsheets."

"Not even boys' spreadsheets?"

"Not even like them." Lena smiled as she led her from the office.

-00-

"I am so sorry." Kara said as she burst into Lena's office two hours later. When she saw Lena and Elle sitting on the couch watching a movie on Lena's tablet she added. "Really sorry."

"It's fine." Lena said. "We've had fun haven't we?"

"We went to the park." Elle said enthusiastically. "Lena bought me new colouring pencils."

"Which you will use to finish my picture?" Lena asked.

"Of course." Elle smiled.

"Your work?" Kara said looking guilty.

"It turned out I needed a break." Lena smiled. "And Elle was perfect distraction and the source of inspiration."

"For your board meeting?" Kara asked confused.

"No, of course not. For the problem we were discussing earlier. The one you came to see me about." Lena explained without wanting to say too much in front of Elle.

"She was?" Kara asked wondering what thought Elle had inspired.

"I think that maybe you are going about it the wrong way." Lena said. "You have the ultimate weapon at your disposal."

"I do? What?"

"Elle."

"I'm not following." Kara said lost.

"She is the perfect wingman, well wingwoman."

"I don't have wings." Elle said wearing the same confused expression as Kara.

"It doesn't mean you have wings." Lena explained trying not to laugh at the identical expressions on mother and daughter. "It means you are able and willing to help someone."

"Who?" Elle asked.

"Your aunt Alex."
