Once the last of the deathly green had been removed from his clammy skin Tess was more than grateful for Alex's suggestion of moving Clark to Kara's recovery room. She was more than willing to keep as close of an eye as she could to the now jittery movements of the one everyone still insisted be called 'Bizarro'.
"And I thought Kar on a sugar rush was bad. This is even more adorably annoying." The one Tess knew from her home world to be called 'Vaz' comments at the blurring figure of Bizarro and kept up the self-given task of literally running tight circles around the room in her excitement over helping Kal.
"Okay, backward girl. You're still Supergirl, not Zippy in the red suit alright." Lois Lane's younger sister points out "Enough with the Super Zoomies." making Tess's hand clench with the want to punch the woman in her amused face had she been in closer reach as Alex rejoins them after supervising Clark's move into Lena's care.
"Oh, so this is going as well as expected." The elder Danvers sibling chuckles.
"Alex, Alex, Alex you ignore we? We broke Kal. Him all broken now." Bizarro beams in pride skidding to a vibrated stop in front of the returned DEO agent.
"I ignored." Alex smiles reaching over to ruffle the grinning girl's hair and then pulling her in for a hug. "you took the grass"
It's only later that Alex will think what she guesses were Kara's lingering memories to show this sometimes backward-thinking copy that hugs weren't meant to be aggressive in any way as it takes a few seconds of hesitation and a fisted hand against Bizarro's side before she leans into the embrace and even give Alex one in return before pulling away to punch the laughing Danvers sister against her heavily padded shoulder in glee instead.
"Easy Keria." Alex warns when the extra layer starts to rip under the assault as she and Tess both notice the way a lingering Susan Vasquiz and Lucy Lane were busy texting to be any help should Bizarro's amusement change to any true threat at being called something other than her current name.
"Is that okay?" Alex asks suddenly, second-guessing her choice as the copied version of her sister rocked back on her heels in thought. "I just didn't want you to be stuck with being called Bizarro all the time. You deserve a real name other than that one or Jane Doe. You don't look like a Jane, and I don't know I…."
"We is Keria," Bizarro confirms her black eyes shining with, if possible, even more excitement. "We is Keria. We is Keria."
"Keria," Tess repeats testing it out. "Fitting." She smiles in approval. "It's Irish in origins you know."
At this, Alex rolls her eyes. "Yeah. Yeah, you Lena's and your Irish pride." But Tess couldn't find a shred of true venom in the teasing as Alex gave her a friendly wink and a shy smile caught up as she was in another Bizarro-given hug.
"Now that's settled." Tess smiles talking more to Alex now than a newly renamed Bizarro girl. "What about getting rid of all this extra energy she has?"
"Want people." Bizarro- Keria- had answered with eagerness at the offering of even more freedom from the darkness of her resting. "Missed be people."
"I heard about an interesting exhibit at the planetarium." Alex had offered earning a wide smile from Bizarro.
"Alex teach we stars?"
"If you want." Alex agrees
"What about the zoo?" Lucy offers instead after a glance up from her phone. "says here thanks to our version of that one the one uptown just opened a new underwater exhibition with way more water critters than before." Lois's sister offers waving her phone in Tess's direction.
"Didn't Kara say something about you wanting to be a marine biologist before you were adopted into the Luthor….." Alex starts to ask only to trail off with a guilty "Sorry." When she noticed the look of pain crossing Tess's expression.
A now watery-eyed Tess waves off the apology rubbing away the yet-to-fall tears from her eyes as she does so. "Yet another thing my so-called Mother took from me before she met her end."
"Us go Zoo." Bizarro smiles misunderstanding Tess's sadness for joy at the suggestion. "Tess learn Keria fishies."
"After you change those clothes first." Alex steps in looking now at the ragged super suit Kara's copy was still wearing.
"Already taken care of," Lucy smiles pocketing her phone the same time a shimmering snow-white portal materialized in the middle of a side hallway. Several agents already reaching for their side arms until Lucy gives a commanding "Hold she's a friendly" when the portal widens allowing its summoner entry into the on-guard DEO main hub.
"Did someone order a fabulous new wardrobe tailor-made for a superhero?" the tall woman stepping out of said portal asks with a fashion-worthy smile that would have made even Cat Grant proud as she sweeps up a full-looking garment bag into her arms.
"Nice to see someone on that misfit team of yours still takes my calls, Heard Drive" Lucy answers in greeting as she pulls a smirking Gidion in for a proper embrace as the Waverider portal shimmers closed behind her. "What? You lot didn't think you were the only alien-related team I play for?" she adds with a laugh at the shocked expression around the embracing pair. Alex's included.
