Chapter Text
Kara watched as Jimmy poured the tiny pasta shells into the pot of boiling water.
“Trust me, you’re going to love this,” Jimmy assured her as he stirred the pot.
Kara picked up a stray pasta shell and popped it into her mouth. “Dry.” She crunched it.
Jimmy laughed. “Yeah, don’t eat them dry.” He picked up the pasta box and pulled out a tiny foil bag. “Once we add the cheese sauce though, you’ll die!”
“Die?” Kara’s eyes widened as she eyed the tiny foil bag. She wasn’t ready for death. She had only been on Earth for a few months.
Did Kal El know Jimmy was plotting her death?
Jimmy laughed again and patted her shoulder gently. “It’s just an expression. It will taste so good that we’ll die of happiness!”
Kara still didn’t quite understand, watching as Jimmy retrieved milk and butter from the fridge. He cut off a chunk of butter and placed it into a small pot. He held the pot out to her and smiled.
“I need some of your zap, zap!”
“Zap, zap?”
“Your laser vision, to melt the butter!”
“I’m helping you cook?”
“Yeah!”
Kara grinned, pleased she could help in this strange custom of cooking a meal together. She shot a beam at the butter, instantly melting it.
“Great! Now we need to add some milk,” Jimmy splashed some milk in with the butter. “and the cheese powder.”
Kara helpfully opened the foil packet and tipped the contents into the pot.
“Alright.” Jimmy set the pot onto a burner. “Now we stir until it thickens.” He held out a spoon for Kara to take.
Kara nodded and stirred the soupy cheese mixture, watching curiously as it thickened
“Okay, macaroni’s ready!” Jimmy declared, taking the pasta pot from the stove and draining it. “Sauce looks ready, too!” He added after a glance into her pot. “Now pour it over the macaroni.” He encouraged.
Kara did as he asked, and Jimmy stirred the gooey concoction. He scooped up a spoonful and held it towards Kara’s mouth. “Trust me, you will love it.” He grinned.
Kara tentatively leaned closer and allowed Jimmy to feed her the spoonful. Her eyes bugged as she swallowed. “Oh!”
“Good?”
Kara sighed happily. “I’m going to die!”
