Supercorp: Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 122

Presently, Alex and Ruby are about an hour in to running about in a nearby park, and both are having a really good time together. So far, the duo have simply been running around a bit and doing general basic exercises. They have not really kicked a ball around yet, despite how much Ruby may want to do that. Alex has just thought it would be best to not have Ruby do anything to extreme just yet, seeing as this is one of the first times she will be running about and exercising since her injury. The last thing Alex wants is for Ruby to over exert herself then re-aggravate the injury. Alex doesn't think that would be a very good sign of how well she could potentially look after Ruby in Sam's eyes. Either way, today Alex has just been focusing on Ruby doing basic exercises which will help her rebuild strength in her leg, but at the same time not over do it. Obviously this type of thing is always a lot easier with adults, because they understand they can't go straight from 0 to 100 right away, whereas kids like Ruby just want to be back to how they were right away. So, with this in mind, Alex has had to reign in Ruby a little bit on a few occasions.

"Alright, Ruby, let's bring it in." Alex says, with a smile, after the two have just finished running around a little bit, going in between these big trees.

Ruby listens to Alex and jogs over to her, with her own smile in her face, clearly happy to be able to do this again, as the teenager has been frustrated with how many weeks she's just had to sit around and do nothing while recovering from her injury.

"Alright, Ruby, I think that's enough for today." Alex says.

"Awwww." Ruby moans, with a pout, "We didn't even get to kick the ball!"

"I know, but we don't want you over doing it, and then hurting yourself, do we?" Alex says.

"Yeah okay..... I guess." Ruby says, with another pout, "Can we do this again though?"

"Of course we can, Ruby." Alex smiles, "I did promise to help you with your fitness now you are recovered from your injury. I'm going to keep that promise. And I know all of us, me, your mom, and Kelly will be there, cheering you on, at your first soccer game back."

Ruby grows a very wide smile on her face at Alex saying that, clearly happy by the sound of that.

"I'd like that." Ruby smiles, "It will be nice to have someone other than just mom cheering me on."

"Well, I imagine you might have a whole family cheering you on now. As Kelly and I will be there every time we are not working, and I imagine Kara, Lena, and Natalie and Ashley will come some times too. Plus, when my mom is visiting, I know she'd love to come and support you." Alex says.

Ruby grows an even wider smile at Alex saying that, this clearly being a whole new thing for the teenager, as before Ruby only basically had her mom in her life, that's it, no other family. Now though, Ruby has a lot of different people, and extended family.

"Okay, Ruby, let's go buy the food for the barbecue." Alex says.

"Yeah, okay." Ruby nods.

"You have any idea what BBQ food you want?" Alex asks.

"All of it." Ruby says.

Alex chuckles at Ruby saying that.

"You sound very much like Kara saying that." Alex comments.

Ruby shoots Alex a grin at the redhead saying that.

"Okay, well, I think doing every single barbecue food might be a bit too much for all of us, so how about instead we do, burgers, sausages, and some chicken skewers?" Alex suggests.

"No chicken drum sticks?" Ruby asks.

"Doing drum sticks can be a bit hit or miss, and require a bit of prep to cook before you put them on the barbecue, so I think it'll be easier to just make chicken skewers." Alex says.
