What I type for Oliver are things I make myself ^_- I drove my writing partner crazy.

A mix of smells waft into Alex's bedroom, a mix of meats and noodles as Oliver has been working for the past hours in her kitchen. Alex wakes up. She smells the aroma of food. Quickly getting a house coat on she comes down the stairs quickly.
Oliver is stirring a pot and has an apron on with a few pots on the go on the stove, the remnants of chopped vegetables are on the cutting block and the sink is full of bubbles with the tools he used for cooking. He smiles at her, "taste this," he grabs a wooden spoon and scoops some of the meat sauce onto it and hands it to her. Beef, bacon, carrots, celery, garlic, along with several spices.
"Delicious!" She exclaimed eyes closed in appreciation. "Where did you learn to cook?" She asked him. Eyes back open again.
He grins, "let's just say I got a knack for it... when someone is always snacking you learn how to keep up," he picks up a rubber maid container. "That is part of your dinner lasagne for work," he shows her a large pot is simmering with a whole chicken in it.
"Homemade chicken noodle soup... and I thought you might want a change down the road and set you up with chicken lasagne as well. I've got potatoes already sliced up for scalloped potatoes and I'm thinking a beef stew... oh and dinner for you will be fresh steaks with," he goes into the toaster oven. "Baked potato and your choice of a side of mushrooms or beans," he finishes and turns to face her looking pretty proud of himself.
"Wow! You want a job as my cook? You could be the live- in cook/domestic. Light cleaning."
He blinks, "I didn't think you'd want me around for longer than a week to be honest and I want to make myself useful," he blushes as it has been a while since someone liked his culinary so much. He didn't want to let on that he was doing it all to keep himself distracted; the focus of the cooking kept him from thinking about all of the recent events.
He gives her a smile, "well... to be sure your getting all of your necessary brain food, sure. Now when do you have to go into work and the majority of this is being prepped to be frozen for work lunches. It doesn't hurt to plan ahead."
"I am off for the next 24 hrs. Now about 18."
He whistles, "here I thought you had to work in a couple of hours," he rubs his hands together. "I will need a gym to go to... I'm not getting equipment to stink up your place," he steps to the fridge and peaks inside. She could smell strawberries and he closes it back up. "Desert is prepped as well... now... what would you like?" He tosses the kitchen hand towel over his shoulder.
"Steak and beans. No shrooms. Don't like them and neither did Kara growing up..." She quickly put a hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry, I will try not to bring her up." She told him facing the floor. Her floor was made of the same dark wood flooring.
He shakes his head, giving a sigh, "it's okay... for me cooking is my therapy... and right now I am just going to accept it," he shrugs and walks around the counter. Placing his hand onto her shoulder, "you didn't have to accept me, after she'd left, you've got no obligation to me... and for now... the way I see it," he looks at his wedding ring.
It takes him a moment before he pulls it off, "I don't want to hold onto a false hope..." he sets it onto the counter. Looking suddenly awkward, "how do you like your steak and more mushrooms for me later!" He changes the subject as best he can.
"Let's eat a steak dinner together!"
Raising his eye brows, "no-no-no," he holds up two index fingers. "I just watched The Help," looking awkward, "it was the first thing on the TV and I didn't want to break your TV. According to them... the help do not eat with the boss," he points at her.
"You are not the help. You are my friend and we are eating together silly!"
Mon El is already worried trying to get her to see the doctor- but Kara is being stubborn. What else is new?
Kara is watching the news, looking for someone to save or something to make an appearance at. Wanting to fly again, wanting to get out really, "I'll see the doctor later..." she pouts and looks up at him. "I'm fine."
Though deep down she knows she isn't, but she wants to try and work through this one on her own. That and she doesn't want to be stuck there on doctor's orders.
"No Kara dear you are not. You woke up from a panic attack hearing the thunder remembering the whip." He told her walking over to her and squeezing her shoulders. They heard her cell phone go off. "Leave the criminals for the police sweetie." He told her handing her the cell. "It's Alex."
Kara frowns and wants to hug herself when he mentions it but takes the phone, "hi Alex," she greets without much enthusiasm.
"What's wrong?" She asked picking up on her moody sister.
She groans and looks at the floor, "what isn't lately?" And regrets her words, "I mean... last night... each boom of thunder had my flinching as though it were a whip. I don't want to be stuck in the DEO while being looked at under 'doctors orders' Alex. I just want to get out into the city."
"I am not going to the have you looked at. I called for another reason. Are you sitting down Kar?"
Looking a little puzzled, "thanks and yes... why?"
"Kara Queen came back to the DEO this morning." She waited for the onslaught of questions before she told her more.
Standing up quickly, "is she okay? She willingly came to the DEO? When did she arrive and why didn't I see this on the news?"
"It wasn't on the news because she came directly through a portal. We have her device. Took it from her limp hand..." She swallowed. "She was shot Kara, but the doctors are working on her. She is still alive."
"I thought you would like to know. We have not informed Oliver yet. We thought we would see how she fares after surgery. I swear I think she has gone under the knife more than you lately! She is certainly more reckless!"
She covers her mouth in shock, "oh my Rao!" She looks at Mon-El. "When should I come in? Should I come in?"
"She will be in surgery a few more hours. They have been repairing her lungs."
Kara sits back down, shaking a tad, "Alex... what're her chances?"
"Hon, I am not going to lie to you. She's flat lined three times. If it wasn't for our skilled medical team, she would be gone already. We have blood stored, but between your injuries lately and now hers, we could use a deposit to the Kryptonian bank!" She tried for humor.
Rubbing at her eyes, "three flat lines..." she swallows, "I'll be there in less than four minutes."
"Okay. I will get everything ready for you to donate. You don't have to take the kryptonite needle. We will put the red sun emitters on you okay? Just a soft drain in powers nothing painful. Bring Mon El. He can keep you company!"
Kara looks at him, "got it." She hangs up, "Kara Queen is here, in surgery and has flat lined 3 times, they need blood. You and I are going there now."
"Okay." He agreed, he knew he had to be there for support for her and her twin.
Kara super sonicked on him causing him to strain to keep up. She made it in even less than 4 minutes. She quickly was greeted by her sister as she flew through the window deck of the DEO. Alex hugged her for a moment knowing she needed one.
As soon as they headed down to the Med Bay Mon El swooped through it, moving so fast he stumbled upon landing. He quickly headed to the Med Bay.
Alex set Kara up and put the lamps on her. "As soon as you soften I will do the lobotomy for you." She hands Kara a jug of orange juice.
Mon El entered. "Rao! You are fast!" He told her sitting by her on the exam chair. "Hmm red sun. Fun." He stated in a tone that was anything but fun.
Kara takes it and nods, "thank you Alex," she smiles at Mon-El. "It's better than a Kryptonite needle."
"I love you sweet Kara." He picked up one of her hands and gently kissed the top of it. "Yes dear, no pain." He agreed.
"If all goes well... you and I are going to have fun tonight," she assures him. Knowing her twin is alive and on the same Earth brings so much relief to her. "And... we need to plan something else."
"What is that?" He asked expectantly still holding her hand.
She presses her lips together in uncertainty as to if it's the right time or not. She shakes her head, "nevermind... now is probably not the best time."
"What sweetie?" He held her hand up against his cheek, rubbing on the back if it
Smiling at his gesture, "with all that's happened... my Mom back in the picture... what I went through recently and all... I want to treasure more of life." She kisses him, "I want to see about planning for our future?" Feeling a little uncertain, like there's still a cloud over her head.
"You want to be my Kryptonian Princess? And are you sure you don't want to be with your people? I mean I was welcomed as the former Prince. You could stay with them if you wanted. I can stay with you."
She shakes her head, "this... this is my home now. Here with you, J'onn, Alex, Eliza... I will happily visit them for special occasions like other families do. But no, I want to stay on Earth, as your Kryptonian Princess," she smiles.
Alex stepped back in. "Just checking your progress." She feels Kara's arm. "Ah you are starting to feel fleshy. Good sign. Probably another thirty minutes or so."
Looking up at Alex she blushes but nods, "well... we've got things to talk about."
"We? As in you and me?" She asked checking Kara's blood pressure with the diagnostic machine. She frowned. "Kar have you been incredibly angry or upset again? Your blood pressure is a bit high today. We need to calm you down before I draw blood." She told her sternly.
"Once you are human, I can give you simple aspirin and it will lower it." She informed her.
Kara shakes her head and groans, "I'm doing my best... sorry," she hangs her head. "It hasn't been easy... I was blaming myself for Kara Queen and the storm last night brought it all back," she looks up at her. "I think I'll need to see Dr. Livingston honestly."
"I was going to gently suggest that. But first thing's first dear." She holds up the IV. "I vant to suck yer blood!" She said in her best Dracula imitation. They used to watch all those cheesy movies growing up.
Mon El laughed outright. He knew about the many vampire movies made on Earth.
"Here dear, take two nope better make it three of these." She handed her a cup with aspirin and some water.
Mon El smirked watching the two sisters.
Kara scrunched up her nose and gives her a small poke, "better than your last impression," and takes them. "Are you sure 3?" She looks at her skeptically.
"Oh Yes!" Pokes her back. "I am sure."Taps her on the nose. "Wow it is so nice when you are soft!" She bends down and hugs her little sister. "So cuddly!" She giggles. "I'll be back after a bit and check your pressure." She walked out.
"Your Sister is great! She always makes me laugh! I love that about her!"
Kara smiles fondly after her, "maid of honour right there," she looks at him. "Sister and best friend."
"I completely agree!"
And he bends down to kiss her. "Mm softest most luscious lips in creation." He looks at her lovingly. "You are so beautiful."
Kara's cheeks go crimson, "look at you with all the compliments."
"Well can I help it that you hooked the most available Prince of Daxam and should be damn proud of it! Back in my bachelor days- well the term love 'em and leave 'em fit me." He looked down at her. "I am not proud of that past at all."
"But you made me into a better person. That is what you do! And I love you for that dear." He kissed her on her soft lips again. "So so beautiful." He murmured playing with a golden lock of hair.
A few more minutes and Alex came back in to check vitals. "Better." She decided. "Still high though so won't take too much today." She started drawing the blood out of Kara's arm.
Mon El made a face but held her good hand in support.
Kara rubs his hand with her thumb, "something tells me you'd enjoy some red sun in the bedroom," she winks.
"I think it would be fun to try. It would work on me too you know."
She grins at him playfully in the hopes of things going back to normal soon, "I know... I recall."
"I think we should try them. Make is feel the same as on our planets." He enthused watching the blood come into the tube and into the bag. "Your blood looks just like human blood." He told her fascinated.
Raising her eye brows, "I knew that," she looks at him in the eye. "I find myself really lucky to have you in my life... especially since all that has transpired."
"I am the lucky one to get you back sweet Kara." He kissed her on her soft lips again. "Yes, definitely emitters! Now I know what Oliver was talking about!"
Kara blushes crimson again and returns the kiss, before slipping her tongue into his mouth to tease him for later.
"Ahh" he moaned pulling back. "Don't raise your pulse Alex will yell at me." He whined.
Kara smiles, "we'll have to bring them with us for tonight," she smiles.
"Ok!"
