Birthday Fic for Haldoor: Fun and Games?

[kitmerlot_1213]

This is a 335 word The Flash/Supergirl drabble for the Birthday Challenge for haldoor   at 1_million_words              HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Cisco and Caitlin exchanged exasperated looks, each secretly wondering if they could get away with changing the channel.

Neither one ever thought they’d regret having superheroes for friends, but no one ever had to sit and watch the Olympics with the Scarlet Speedster and the Girl of Steel.

Forget listening to the expert commentary of former gold medalists and sports journalists, Barry and Kara knew it all and all anyone needed to know was how much more awesome they would be at each and every sport, including rhythmic gymnastics and mountain biking.

According to these two self-professed Olympians, none of the athletes, the men and women who trained, practiced and sacrificed years of their lives for their chosen sport were up to their extremely high meta-human and/or alien standards of athleticism and kick-assness.

From weightlifting, to swimming, to rowing, to all of the track and field events, Barry and Kara had something to say about all of the athletes, the coaches and even the referees.

Apparently, “no one knew what they were doing, did they even know the rules, did they all need their eye sight checked?!”

Barry went on an epic fifteen minute rant on how, in point of fact, Usain Bolt, was NOT the Fastest Man alive—HE WAS!!  And Kara wasn’t any better, openly laughing at the distances the female athletes were able to throw the discus.  “”76 meters?  An Kryptonion infant could toss the discus at least 80 meters!”

But it wasn’t until the pair started in on the rhythmic gymnastics events that Caitlin had enough.  “This is my favorite event, and if you two don’t shut up, I won’t be responsible for my actions!”

Barry and Kara both looked suitably contrite and they obligingly kept the chatter to a minimum, but then the one unfortunate gymnast from Uzbekistan forgot to point her toes, and Barry started to grin and he quickly turned to Kara when Cisco closed his eyes in resignation.

This was going to be a long two weeks.
