A Fortunate Back-Hand to the Nose

@a-dot-burr-ell this was from a prompt meme thing you reblogged so I figured I should tag you (also how is the smol and you? I hear you have been v tired, I hope this maybe helps you relax just a lil).

It was “person A hits person B in the face while gesturing wildly to a friend”

————the ‘I’m on mobile’ line——–

Alex <i>loves </i> telling the story later. She always makes Winn take the backhand to the nose. It’s very gratifying.

Of course, it’s Kara, gesturing wildly about the incredibly, ridiculously large and expensively made hoagie that Cat had gotten her for her birthday. She didn’t see the woman in a hoodie and sweats because Lucy was bent double weezing with laughter. So when she stands, with a final floirish to encompase the raw emotion she felt at such a display of love and affection, she did, indeed, smash her hand into the woman’s nose.

The woman later explains that it felt like walking into a very soft-skinned wall.

Kara turns, with a look of horror etched into her face, and begins apologizing immediately. “Oh my gosh, oh I am so sorry, oh Rao you’re bleeding, here let me let me, oh golly I’m such a klutz please, let me help, here’s a napkin, here hold it there and gosh you have such a pretty face I am so sorry to have maybe broken your nose oh no- wait, my sister’s a doctor she can- Alex!! Stop laughing and help us!”

Lucy can’t help either, she’s still wheezing. But she’s wheezing mostly because the woman is slowly blushing more and more because Kara keeps touching her. Like, touching her face and hands and shoulders and hair, because Kara gets so concerned. And Kara’s got a pretty nice face too.

Lucy likes to play ‘which women in the bar is into women’ with Maggie. She’s <i>really</i> good at it. Though, that may be because she asks while in a crop top and with a smirk that could get nuns wet.

Anyway, Kara’s got both hands on this poor woman’s face, nearly in tears, when the woman blurts out-

“Can I have your number?”

At this point in the story telling, Alex pushes Winn out of a chair to simulate how Maggie fell out of hers. Alex claims that her gawking was because she couldn’t believe that Maggie could even be surprised anymore.

Kara just stares and it’s Cat who responds from the other side of the table.

“Are you a multi-million dollar CEO with an icy reputation?” She swirls her drink and arches one eyebrow in a move that has brought presidents to their knees (one particular soon-to-be president to her knees multiple times, though that was back in college and Cat only tries it every other week and Ol-).

Right, so, the woman, hand filled with napkins and pushed against her nose, replies with-

“No.” And Cat smirks because she is, indeed, better than anyone else in this small yet chick cafe. “I’m a multi-<i>billion</i> dollar CEO with an icy reputation.”

And, much later in private, Cat will explain how that magnificent come back just really <i>did it </i> for her. At the time, she says-

“Well then, <i>I’ll</i> take your number and we can discuss arrangements over dinner.”

And that’s the story of how Kara and Cat met Lena Luthor and Alex, Lucy, and Maggie nearly didn’t make it out of a small cafe alive (even with her amazing abdominals, Lucy limped out of that coffee shop).

Winn would like to put in that he wasn’t even there and thus should not be included in the retellings.
