Thea was impressed by how well Kara pulled off the costume. She hadn’t realized her cousin had that much of an exhibitionist streak in her. It wasn’t that her costume was revealing, but putting her hair up like that and adding a few strategically placed scars and stitches made her look very sexy. And Ron…well Ron would be a hunk no matter what he was wearing.
They stopped for a kiss on the cheek and then Kara sent Ron off to convince Nick to make them black and tans to drink. Then she immediately took advantage of her fiancé’s absence to pull Thea to the side where she could shout over the music and still not be overheard by anyone they cared about.
“What was wrong this morning? You turned your phone off! Do I have to get Ron and Travis to work over Nick for you? I’m not going to put up with him hurting my favorite cousin!” The suggestion that Kara would actually arrange to have someone roughed up was so absurd that Thea started laughing. She couldn’t help herself and it felt good.
