It's all Nia's fault. Slurring her words after another successful game night, she brings up the idea of code names for their next mission.
"Ohmygod yessss" Lena slurs back.
Alex watches from her spot on the floor next to Kelly (who is sitting on the couch, running her fingers through Alex's short auburn locks) as Lena shoots up from where she'd been laying her head on Kara's shoulder. "Didn't Winn try to get code names going years ago?" Alex groans.
Kara shoots her a questioning look. "He did? I mean I know he had nicknames for everything but I didn't know it was like. Official code names."
"I got this I totally got this, I have the perfect nicknames for us," Lena announces. She stands, only wobbling slightly, before draining the remainder of her 4th consecutive glass of wine and continuing like she's presenting to the Board.
"For our next mission, you may address me as Eagle 1."
"James is: been there done that." James blushes but salutes in Lena's general direction from his prone position on the floor.
"Kara is: currently doing that." At this Alex pretends to gag, making Kelly laugh behind her. Meanwhile, Kara and Lena high-five while Alex flips them off.
"Nia is: it happened once in a dream."
"Haha, get it, because I'm Dreamer!" Nia hiccups.
"Brainy is: if I had to pick a dude." Nia chuckles and kisses Brainy's reddening cheek.
"Alex is: Eagle 2"
"Oh thank god," Alex wheezes in relief.
"This is exactly why I banned Schott from coming up with code names," J'onn mutters, ever exhausted.
