“ GUARD UP, I’m not going easy on you this time. ”

Alex snorted. The coming buzz and sudden company drawing some tension out of her. “ About a hundred times.” A hundred seemed like an exaggeration but Alex remembered pretty vividly how much they fought as teenagers. “Sisters do that.” She concluded with a shrug. “It passes.”

That wouldn’t be the first time Alex has heard that. “Look, there’s something I’m working on and I need a lab.” Seeing as she was practically kicked off of DEO property it was either the extreme of universe hopping or calling her mother. The choice was obvious. “I was hoping to ask, uh... Caitlin” Alex stammered, gesturing vaguely in Frost’s direction “you know, if she minded.”

      “ This is THE worst idea you’ve ever had, I hope you know that. “

Alex took in the suggestion to talk and then quickly moved past it. “You usually come here alone for...” She paused, watching Nia take back her drink. “Shots?” Alex wondered if alcohol affected Nia differently like it did Kara. She realized actually she didn’t know very much about the woman and Alex found herself growing glad for the buzz of curiosity, and the distraction. “Must of been a rough day at Cat Co.” She mused.

The scoff was instant in response to the accusation but Alex brushed past it. “No it’s for beating the crap out of each other until one of you can claim the title of best.” She droned sarcastically. Maybe she was a little salty. “It was just unexpected is all. Sara I’d see it coming but... Laurel?” Alex gave a shrug. “I guess you cant really take up the vigilante gig without being a badass.” In truth Alex wasn’t bothered. Her surprise had sparked a wonder in her and somewhere between being pinned face first to a wall with her arms behind her back and being swept off her feet in a move she’d never even seen before, her interest was sparked. Laurel had promised to teach her that one. “Don’t worry, we’re sparring again in a few days. It IS about making each other better.”
