It's Supposed to be a Date
XavAcid
Chapter 4 : This is all before lunch?
Saturday morning: Kara woke up at the first rang of her alarm, she carefully reached over Alex to shut it off, her curtain was open, so the entire room was flooded with morning light. She grinned at the adorably sleepy Alex, who was still mostly asleep and grumbling. It was the sight she would never get tired of. More often than not, she was the one that ended up sleeping on top of the older girl. It was rare that she got to be the big spoon.
It was early still, so she covered Alex's bare shoulder with the comforter, knowing that the older Danvers would be a little cold once she got up. When they were younger Alex would complain that Kara was too hot, but never once denied her a spot in her bed whenever she climbed in with her. Instead she would pull her close and cuddled her.
Kara was so grateful that she had met Alex.
Leaning over, the Kryptonian floated over the bed so she could watch Alex for a while.
"Stop it."
"What?" Kara sounded as innocent as only she could manage.
"Watching me sleep." One hazel eye opened. "And why are you up already? It's still early." Her voice muffled with half her face still buried in the pillow.`
"Well," she floated over Alex's prone body, one open eye followed her progression suspiciously.
"You better not do what you are thinking of doing."
"What?" Her little alien asked, mischievous grin on her lips, "this?" She dropped down suddenly landing on top of her with her full weight. Alex let out a squeak.
"Kara." She whined, she found herself being wrapped up so completely with the blanket and the grinning Kryptonian, squirming as the later peppering kisses over her face and one exposed shoulder.
"Get up, get up, get up."
Alex tried to keep the frown when her giggly little alien nuzzled her ear, but she couldn't. Really, how could anyone with Kara being so bright and happy. She tried valiantly, but ultimately failed.
"Brat." Alex squirmed a little more, it was getting hot, with the comforter and Kara on top of her. "Ok, I'm up."
But instead of getting up, Kara didn't budge, instead she dropped her head down and buried her face in the dark hair. This was home, Kara could stay here forever, just like this, with Alex. And the older girl seemed to understand that, so she allowed it, staying still for the moment, and let herself be a cushion. She was used to the solid weight of Kara's.
Until it was getting too hot, of course.
"Can I get up now?"
The Kryptonian flopped around a couple more time, giggling at the indignant little squeak from her human cushion before bouncing off. "I'm getting a shower!" She called out, the sound of closing door followed.
Alex growled before kicking off the comforter, with a glance she noted the time. They were still early enough to linger over breakfast. Which meant that she would have to get up and make some.
"I want blueberry pancakes." Kara sang from the bathroom over the sound of her shower, knowing where Alex's thought would be going to next.
"Yeah, yeah." The older Danvers pulled on the discarded shirt before replying in her normal voice, no need to speak any louder, the blonde would hear it anyway.
The ingredients for pancake laid out just as the blonde exited the bathroom. Kara only need to be in the shower long enough to wash her hair, the rest can be rushed with her super speed. They switched, with Alex needed more time, and Kara just couldn't wait for her food for that long.
"It's ready!" Kara called out cheerfully when she heard Alex exited the bathroom.
A moment later, the older Danvers, in t-shirts and boy shorts, toweling her hair dry came toward her. Kara handed her a plate with smaller stack then turned to pour a cup of coffee, Alex reached around her to grab silverwares. It was a familiar routine, so comfortable between them now that they didn't need to say much.
As Alex settled down at the tall stool her little alien came to sit beside her with a plate, pancakes piled three times as high. They ate quietly, chatting about their plan in between. By the time Alex took the last swallow of her coffee, Kara had finished her whole stack of pancake and drank her milk.
After cleaning up together, they finished getting dress.
"I love that jacket." Kara wrapped her arms around her human from behind.
"I know."
Alex was in one of her favorite jackets. Actually, she loved all Alex's jackets. She'd attempted to steal a few of them at one time or another, but while they could share some of their wardrobe with one another, the same could not be said of most of Alex's jackets, since she was slimmer around the shoulder.
A smirk appeared and the blonde just couldn't help herself, she pressed a kiss to the corner of that mouth.
"Come on," Alex tugged her hand and headed out the door grabbing a backpack filled to the brim with snacks on the way. "We don't want to keep them waiting, and give her reason to be snappy" she paused, grinning. "Well, anymore than the car will."
They both laughed all the way out the door.
"Carter honey, calm down." Cat placed a hand on her son's shoulder in effort to stop him from bouncing on the tips of his toes. He was excited and she understood, but she was getting dizzy from the way he paced and bounced and generally fidgety.
"But mom," he started.
"They will be here and we are a little early, because someone refused to slow down."
Cat tried to contain her grin when her son pouted up at her. He was dressed as casual as she had ever seen him. For most of the evening he had been bouncing between being overly excited about the trip and agonizing over what he should wear. Until she told him that he could wear whatever he wanted, and no doubt Sunny Danvers would be in her sundress and cardigan, all preppy and pastel. He didn't seem very convinced.
She was sure that he texted her assistant for advice.
Whatever advice her sunny assistant gave, she appreciated it, since he stopped agonizing over his clothes and just bouncing around till his bedtime instead.
"So, Keira told you to wear jeans?" She nudged. "And t-shirt?"
"Well," he blushed. "Kara said not to worry and wear something casual and comfortable."
Which was exactly what she told him all evening. Cat rolled her eyes, "which is what I told you."
"But mom!" He whined, but his eyes were on the street outside, he wasn't looking at her at all.
"They are here!"
A tiny blue car pulled up in front of the building. Cat dismissed it at first, she went to stop him but her son already headed for the double glass door of the building.
"Carter!" She had been trying to keep him waiting in the lobby, and had to pull him back at five minutes interval so that he wouldn't go wait by the sidewalk, but now he was already out the door and she leaped up to try to catch up to him.
"I told you we should wait ins-"
"Mom, they are here!" The youngest Grant was already by the car, one hand on the door when he shouted unnecessarily back to her. "Come on mom." Cat glared at the doorman of her building briefly, but thought better of saying anything to him in favor of following her son out.
"Morning Ms. Grant!"
Cat's jaw dropped at Sunny Danvers stepped out of a tiny blue car that she had dismissed at first look, smiling as wide as she had ever seen her. She had expected the younger blonde to be wearing all pastel, sundress and cardigan, or some ensemble of what she usually saw in the office.
Kara Danvers was in skinny jeans, babydoll t-shirt, a pair of cherry red oxford on her feet, oh there was a cardigan, just not pastel color like she expected.
Cat Grant picked her jaws off of the ground, and schooled her face into neutral as she made her way to the car. She remembered exactly what she called out to Keira before her assistant left on Friday, and she was sure that this was not a coincidence.
Though how they managed to find a toy car like this between Friday afternoon and this morning was beyond her. And what the hell kind of car was that?!
"Good morning," she greeted as her assistant directed her son to where the door handle was, he quickly opened the door and climbed inside. Already, she dreaded being contorted into whatever shape these tiny car considered a seat, and glad that she decided to wear pants and low heels today.
The driver side door opened and out popped a grinning Alexandra. "Good morning." It wasn't exactly the sunny smile that Kara had, and it was all teeth, but it was biggest one she had ever seen on the older Danvers. Her eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. Sunny Danvers probably told her exactly what she said about the car.
Cat went around the tiny, boxy looking car, not a long distant to walk by any stretch of imagination, she could probably complete a circle around it with four steps. She was well aware of the hazel eyes following her, and when she got to the door, she had to stop and look for the door handle. Alexandra seemed to be very amused.
But she found it before the older Danvers could direct her to it, and quickly folded herself into the seat, expecting it to feel small. It wasn't as small as she thought, there was enough room that didn't make her feel claustrophobic, but that was the extend of it.
"Alexandra," Cat started when the brunette slipped back into the driver seat, and pretended that she didn't see the smirk. "I did not expect you to drive this…" she made a show of looking around herself with her lips pursed. "Thing."
"This thing is an N-Box Slash." The brunette shrugged, one well shape brow lifted high in challenge.
There were two sounds of giggling from the other passengers in the car.
"It certainly is a box." Cat grumbled a little, though she had to concede that it was not as cramp as she feared. She wanted to make more snarking comment, she really did, but one look at Carter, she held her tongue. They were being very nice and accommodating, after all, and they didn't have to bring Carter, or agreed to let her come along. They could've said no, and she couldn't fault them on that.
Well, maybe a few snarks, she didn't need them to think she was nice.
"This is so cool, mom." The younger Grant looked all around him and pushed himself to the middle so he could rest his chin on the front seat's backrest. And Cat was pretty sure that it had less to do with what car it was and more of the fact that her son thought the two sitting up front hung the moon and the stars. Really, she had never heard him gushing over anyone, ever.
Well, except Supergirl.
They could be driving a pinto and he would still think it was 'so cool' if it was Alexandra driving it, she was sure.
"Alright, belts on everyone." Alex called out as she put the car into drive.
The drive was rather quick and Alexandra was a safe driver, fast but very safe. Amazingly precise as she weaved her way through traffic. And however much reservation she had about car this size, she had to admit that its size made for a very swift maneuvering in the city, especially on the weekend, when everyone and their puppies were out on the road.
When she looked to Carter, wanting to see if he was alright Cat was actually a little surprised at how relax her son was, normally he would be very nervous when riding in the car with someone else driving for the first time, to be honest so was she. But it could be that Sunny Danvers was keeping up the chatter with Carter the entire ride.
Carter was so ecstatic, at the beginning of the week he had already resigned himself to spending a boring weekend being invisible to his dad and his dad's new girlfriend. He had noticed that most if not all of his girlfriend tended to do that, ignoring him. Or they would treat him like he was five years old instead of twelve, and he hated it when they talked to him with this high-pitch voices, like he was a baby.
So by Wednesday when his dad called to tell him that he had to go to conference, and he couldn't bring him along, Carter was more than happy to tell him that he had no problem with it, he would see his dad some other time.
A weekend with his mom, no matter how busy she was, was a much much better prospect for him anyway. She never treat him like he was a bother. Even when she had piles of paperworks waiting for her. But when he saw the Aquarium flyer at Noonan's he was excited, but still tried to keep himself in check, his mom would try to take him, but it was not always possible. So when Kara said she was going and would be happy to take him, he was so happy. Of course he realized a little later that he shouldn't have asked before asking his mom.
Kara was so nice, and he got to meet Alex, who was so awesome, and she was a scientist. His mom liked Alex, he could tell, he knew that his mom did not like very many people. And now his mom was coming along, Carter knew that his mom didn't plan this, at all. Which made this day even more interesting, and he could thank Kara and Alex over and over again for this. Well, he did text Kara his thanks amongst other plethora of texts he exchanged with her.
Last night he was nervous about what to wear, what if he chose the wrong outfit, and too overdressed? His mom told him to be casual, but still. So, he texted Kara to ask, she told him pretty much the same thing his mom told him, except she was a little more specific, and offered up what she would be wearing as well. That settled him.
He knew that he was socially awkward, and often missed social que, as a result: he had very few friends, other kids his age just didn't have the patience for him. But Kara did. She was never impatient with him, and she answered all his questions. Never once that he got the impression that she was annoyed by him like he sometimes got from other adults.
"Alex?" Carter leaned forward as far as his seat belt allowed, "can we see them feed the sharks?"
"Yeah, Alex, can we see it?" Kara piped up with a grin her eyes met another pair of blue ones from the back.
"Nope, sorry children, no shark feeding time to watch today."
Carter pouted a little and dropped himself back into his seat. He was so hoping that he would get to see it.
"But," he perked up as Alex continued. "My friend said they had a baby penguin that we could go see and perhaps, play with a little."
From the corner of her eye she saw two pair of blue eyes lit up like stars.
"Baby penguin?" The youngest Grant's voice went high in delight.
"Yes, a baby penguin name Cookie."
A snort came from the quiet corner of the car and two pairs of eyes turned to Cat Grant, who seemed more content to observe them and their conversation than offering up any comment of her own.
"Ms. Grant?" Kara turned in her seat to look at her boss, and Cat Grant found two different shades of blue focusing on her. And despite the curious tone that was deceptively innocent, she could see the little grin appearing.
"Mom?"
She considered her response carefully, if it was only the Danvers, she would be sarcastic, and oh she could get really snippy with that one. Why would anyone name a bird Cookie? But then a second glance at her son she decided that she shouldn't.
"He must've liked cookie, to be named as such." She allowed lamely.
Two matching smirks from up front was what she got, but her son's giggle soothed her ruffled feather. It was going to be an exercise on her self control today, she could tell already.
"Penguin can't eat cookie, mom." Carter rolled his eyes, and Cat felt like she was looking at the mirror.
The two Danvers snickered from the front joined in her son's giggle.
The parking was easier to find than she would've thought, especially because the car was so tiny it could fit into smaller spot that would have been too tight for anything larger than a sedan to get into.
As Cat Grant opening the door she found the older Danvers standing by her open door, offering a hand to help her out. The Queen of All Media was a little surprised, but as she moved out of the way, she watched the brunette, in her dark blue skinny jeans, charcoal gray top and thin motorcycle jacket, leaned into the back seat and reached back to grab something.
A mid-size backpack she slugged on one shoulder, Alex stepped back and closed the door.
Sunny Danvers was standing in front of the car with her son, who was bouncing on the tips of his toes. Cat went to join them Alexandra right behind her. A quick beep let them know that the car was locked.
"Here, I'll take that." Kara reached out to take the backpack, Alex let her, and smiled when Kara took her hand.
The group made their way to the front where the ticket counter was, there were several short lines of people waiting to get the tickets. Alex bypassed the line and went to one of the staffs standing by the entrance, and asked for the passes that the director was supposed to have for them.
"Oh you're . I'll get the passes for you." The pimply faced young man smiled, and quickly went inside the box office, practically running into the door as he hurriedly open it. A few minutes later he came out with four passes in his hand. He was stammering his welcome speech before handing them over to the visitors.
"Thank you." Kara smiled at him and the whole group, with the exception of Carter, watched his face turned red and as he turned back to his duty his feet nearly trip all over themselves.
"Well, what do you want to see first?" Alex asked as she grabbed the brochure from near by stacks of brightly colors pamphlet, all designed to show the attractions. "Though, I think Kara made a plan for us," Alex grinned at the young blonde.
"We," she pointed at herself and Carter. "Discussed our game plan last night." The youngest Grant looked up at her with a big smile on his face and nodded.
Of course they made plan.
"Right, not surprise." She gestured for all of them to go ahead.
Carter listened with wide-eyed excitement, as Alex pointed out the gender of the giant octopus in the tank. He got so close to the tank that he could see the condensation from his breath on the tank surface.
"Alex, look, it's like he's looking at me!"
It seemed that way, since the orange tentacle creature came to the front of the tank and spread himself out on the surface with his appendages pressed against the glass where the boy's hand was.
Kara was right beside him, her nose almost touching the tank, she was careful about where she placed her hands and how much strength she exerted. People were milling about, and they weren't the only one trying to get a closer look at the giant octopus inside the tank. In the past she would not be able to tolerate so many people in the same place as her without being overwhelmed by it, but not anymore, and especially when she was with Alex.
Who was right beside her.
Kara placed a hand on her lower back, and carefully pressed herself closer. Alex turned to smile at her briefly, and wrapped an arm around her while patiently answering another question the younger Grant had for her. Carter reminded her of how Kara used to be when she first arrived, and it made her a little nostalgic. It was the reason why she was more accommodating than she usually would be. And he was a nice boy, if a little curious.
"He's so big." Carter murmured as the octopus spread himself across the tank in front of him.
"That's a ten pounder GPO," someone spoke from behind them, four heads immediately turned to look. "Caught off the coast of Oregon, and especially deliver to us for this exhibit."
"Alex Danvers." A man in white button-up shirt and khaki was coming closer to them. His face almost split with his wide smile.
"Thomas," she smiled back.
"How are you?"
"Pretty good, what about you? Seems like you're doing well."
Kara's hand tugged at the back of her jacket and Alex angled her body back to her. She'd met the guy before, of course, they were out grocery shopping, and ran into him. Like that time, he seemed to only paid attention to Alex. Her human was so oblivious.
"Hi."
"It's good to see you again, Kara." He gave her a cursory smile then turned to his old classmate again.
Alex gestured toward the two Grants. "This is Carter and-"
"Cat Grant," he finally noticed the smaller blonde standing slightly away from the group. "Wow, it is a pleasure." He offered his hand quickly.
Cat Grant considered him for a moment, this was - no doubt- the current director of the NC Aquarium. He seemed older than Alexandra by quite a few years, how were they even classmates, she would love to know.
"Pleasure is mine, Dr..." She trailed off, it was just her way. It wasn't that she didn't pay attention, she just wanted reaction.
"Hornby, Thomas Hornby, but you can call me Tom." He shook her hand vigorously.
Cat Grant pulled her hand away after a moment, this level of enthusiasm was not doing anything to her complexion.
"So, how do you know this kid genius here Ms. Grant?" Tom gestured toward Alex.
"Well," Cat started, she glanced over at the brunette, caught her just as she was rolling her eyes, and Sunny Danvers was giggling quietly. It didn't escape her notice that Kara was leaning against the older girl. "We've met through an acquaintance." Her eyes glanced briefly to her assistant, though the man didn't appear to notice. Then she grinned. "Kid genius? Why Alexandra, you never told me they called you that." It explained a lot about the age different between the two classmates. Unless of course, the man was aging beyond his year, seeing how his hairline looked to be receding.
"Really, no one called me that." Alex said, her tone so dry it could suck out all the water in the tank, which only served to make Cat's grin bigger.
The NC Aquarium's director laughed, and Alex was reminded again why she never liked to see any of her college friends, not that she had many to begin with. There were always questions, she just didn't care to answer. She did expect to see him, however briefly, today, he did say that he was rather busy, it being the weekend and they were offering some new attraction after all.
It was all one big coincidence that she ran into Thomas while out running errands a couple of weeks ago with Kara. She never once thought she would ever run into any of her classmates, since most of her high school friends were still living their lives in Midvale. And she'd lost touch with her college friends.
It was a good thing that at least she liked Thomas, he was a nice guy, and when he invited her to visit the aquarium Kara looked so excited that she just couldn't say no. As it turned out that Kara had wanted to go, since Winn told her about the new tank and the underwater walkway.
"She was always the top of the class." Thomas grinned at the look on the brunette's face. "I've always expected to see you in some medical journal, or something."
"Or something." Alex said dryly. "I'm just a lowly government employee." She shrugged.
"Doing something important, I'm sure."
Kara watched the exchange and filed away what was being said. Alex's college days were of mystery to her, during which time Alex had pulled away, and she didn't understand why. The brunette always blamed on the workload, but things got better once she moved to National City. It was one thing that she never told the older girl, the reason she moved here instead of other city, so that she could be closer to her.
Cat Grant listened with interest. While Alexandra was clearly very intelligent, she found that her mannerism was far from a lab rat as she referred to herself. The journalist in her wanted to dig up whatever she could, but she also knew when to refrain. So, she listened to everything and filed away for later.
Just when there was a lure in conversation Carter started asking about the tank and the aquarium itself.
"Oh, have you seen the walkway, yet?"
"We're about to head that way." Cat replied for all of them.
"Alex said we could see the baby penguin?" Carter asked, he looked between his mom and the director. He had wanted to ask when they were going to see that baby penguin that Alex talked about this morning.
"Ah, yes. Cookie, he's a very cute little guy. We can go see him now if you'd like."
They ended up at the back room where the nursery was, and one of the staffs brought out the baby penguin. And while Alex and Cat chatted with the aquarium director, Kara and Carter were playing with the bird. He was quite sociable and seemed to like visitors. Judging from pleased noises he made when he waddled around and rubbed his head against their hands.
Their laughter made the rest of the room smile.
"Alex, look, he likes to be tickled." Kara called out as she tickled the penguin lightly with her index fingers. It took the baby penguin a little time to come to a new person, the guy who brought him out told them when he opened the door from his cage. But he came right to Kara, and seemed to take a shine to her.
"I can see that."
Alex wasn't really surprised, she didn't know if it was because she was alien, or because she was innocent and such a bright and happy creature herself, but all animal seemed to take a liking to her little Kryptonian. She could recall the tiny farm near their home in Midvale that they would walk by several times a week, just so that Kara could visit the animals. And all of them would come right to her, happy to see the ray of sunshine that was the Kryptonian.
Alex herself liked animal well enough, but not as much as her little alien.
Cat Grant paid half attention to the conversation with the two classmates which started to become a monologue, since the brunette seemed to want to share even less than she did with her earlier in the week. The other half she paid to her son. Carter was happy, he was giggling with Sunny Danvers while she was tickling the clearly pleased little creature.
She had to admit -only to herself, of course - that the whole thing was adorable. The little penguin was adorable and she wouldn't mind petting it herself.
They already stopped at the penguin enclosure earlier, in fact it was their first stop. They spent twenty minutes there with the older Danvers pointing out the breed of penguin that was in the pit, and the youngest Grant listen with bright eye. He could've research it himself, and he did, a little, but he found that he liked the little factoids that Alex told him and Kara more.
Cat found herself listening avidly as well. She wondered if the brunette did her research before hand so she could answer all the questions that Carter could conceivably ask her, or did she just have all those facts conveniently store away from some other time.
Kara, however, listening to it all with wide-eyed excitement, like she had since they were teenagers. She also knew that whenever they went out on their trips Alex would look up everything there was to know about the place, and did all the research just so that she could explain things to Kara better. Before she knew all this, she'd thought that Alex was the smartest girl in the world, and that she was so lucky to have her.
Well, she still felt that way now. And loved her all the more for the effort the brunette put into taking care of her. Even for this outing, she knew that Alex -with her busy schedule- looked up a lot of things just so that she could better explain things to Kara, and Carter. Despite the fact that the Kryptonian could've done that herself.
"We should get going." Alex gently told Kara and Carter, "I'm sure Tom has places he needs to be and we have a lot more to look at."
Kara and Carter spent the next minute saying goodbye to the little penguin, who, unbelievably, seemed reluctant to leave them and go into his enclosure.
"Bye Cookie," the young waved at the little flightless bird, he also pulled his mom over to say goodbye as well.
"Honey, I don't think he's going to feel any different if I say goodbye to him or not." Cat protested likely.
"He will, right Alex?"
"Oh yeah, totally." The brunette agreed easily, a little too quickly in Cat's opinion. And Carter, Carter was looking completely serious in his insistent that she say farewell to Cookie.
Cat glared at her over her son tousled head, and allowed her son to tug her forward. Alex's grin didn't fade, if anything it got bigger. What the Queen of all Media completely missed was the way her son's bright blue eyes twinkled in mischief back at the brunette.
Kara opted to stand next to her girlfriend, looking as innocent as could be.
They made their way through the throng of people to the area, the walkway display was actually their next stop after the octopus tank, according to Kara's and Carter's plan.
"Wow!" Carter had to stop for a moment to look. "This is awesome!" He turned to his mom, Alex and Kara, his eyes sparkled. "It's like walking underwater."
"Yes, honey." Cat agreed with him with an indulgent smile. She looked down at the LED walkway programmed to look like water, the entire thing was well designed and it did give her the feeling of walking through water. She was impressed, but wasn't about to say it out loud.
The aquarium director quickly gushed about the display, he went through all the facts, listing various species of fish that they got in the tanks, and acting the perfect tour guide as they walked toward the entrance. "There are like millions of LED lights in this walkway alone." He pointed down for Carter, although his eyes were on Alex.
Who paid very little attention to him at the moment, instead on Kara who was looking at a school of clownfish, and chatting with the little girl that was exclaiming "Neemo!"
Alex pulled out a camera and took some pictures of her little alien, she had been taking their photo here and there, probably not as much as Kara would, had the camera been in her hand. But she did take quite a few.
"This is where we set for photo opt." Tom quickly pointed out where the corals set to resemble frames throughout the tanks. "If you take pictures from the other side and it'll look like you're in the water!"
Two heads quickly turned to her with interest.
"Yeah, I'll take your picture." Alex rolled her eyes with the air of exasperation, it was all for a show, though.
"I'll go with you." Cat Grant said quickly, she was getting bored of listening to the man. She thought being director of the aquarium would mean that the guy would be busy, especially on a day like this.
Or maybe he was busy, but he took the time because of a certain someone.
Whom either completely oblivious to it, or just didn't care.
Cat eyed the brunette for a moment, the girl in question was nodding at something the younger Danvers was saying. She decided that it was probably the later. After all, you couldn't miss the way Hornby's attention focused on her.
And as she watched the man pointing something out to them, she noticed a little reaction from Sunny Danvers. Apparently, she wasn't the only one noticed the attention.
"Alex, I want some picture with you, too." Kara placed a hand on her shoulder and let it slide down to grab her hand. Cat had to smile, it was clearly a possessive gesture. The little smirk she could see at the corner of the brunette's mouth told her that she wasn't the only one that noticed.
"I can take your picture for you." Thomas stammered out.
But before any of them could accept, or reject his offered his radio came on, one of the staffs was looking for him.
"I guess I have to leave." He looked disappointed.
"Yeah, thanks for the tour Thomas." Alex gave him a smile. She'd actually thought that he would leave them be after he directed them to the display, but he seemed so intended on walking with them.
"You're welcome, maybe we could get together some other time." He ran his hand through his thinning hair. "Nice to meet you Ms. Grant, Carter." He gave the Queen of all Media's hand a quick shake as well as Carter's.
"Bye." Kara gave him a wave, she didn't want to tempt herself to give his hand a little squeeze.
"Um… bye Kara, Alex."
A disembodied voice called for his attention again and he quickly left.
"I thought he'd never leave." The normally all sunshine and daisy Danvers muttered under her breath, it was only loud enough that Alex and Cat Grant could hear.
"Now, now, Keira-"
"Kara." Alex corrected her.
"-you're not the only one."

I'm so sorry that it took me this long to post, at first I wanted to get the entire day out in one chapter, but it'll take much much too long, and it'll be pretty big, so I decided to break the day up. A tiny, little peek at Jealous!Kara, but nothing major. I also got some other ideas for a new story to go into this series as well, so I'm also writing that out.
Thanks for the follows and fav guys..
