Chapter 1: Maggie Swayer
The detective always stood out as one of the best in the National City police department, her job was to detect and she was excellent at it. However, she never believed that Kara Danvers could keep such a big secret, the sister of her girlfriend could not keep a secret even if hier life depended on it or that was what she believed until a few moments ago.
The game nights , the affection, that special care, the worry, the crying, everything finally made sense, it was in front of their noses and Alex did not even suspect it because both were in their bubble of love, in the preparations to give one of the most important steps in their lives.
Today was an ordinary day for the detective, she decided to visit her wife at work but there was a new threat that wanted to take National City for a change and all the agents of the DEO were meeting with Supergirl to take the necessary measures and counteract what was happening. J'onn ran the meeting and proposed a plan to follow, but what caught her attention was Supergirl or rather Kara because her body was present but it was obvious that her head was elsewhere, all she did was nod and agree with everything they proposed, which is not characteristic of the little Danvers, maybe she was on a bad day so Maggie let it go and preferred not to comment.
Their best weapon is its technology - says J'onn - the best way to take them down is to create some type of device or weapon that disables its main source of power, for that we need you Winn.
Great - says the boy- but I'm going to need help if we want to end this as soon as possible, it's way more complicated than it seems.
We could call Lena Luthor- suggests Alex and Kara comes back to her sense and hears that name again- your intellect combined with your intelligence are our best weapon, Lena has already collaborated with us before and her help could do us good.
As soon as Kara heard Lena's name, her eyes changed, her cheekbones reddened and although it was minimal, Maggie could see how her eyes began to water down in an internal fight where she wanted to avoid spilling her tears at all costs, which was something very curious because Maggie had never seen either Kara or Supergirl react like that to the name of the little Luthor. Kara swallows her pain so the moment goes unnoticed by others.
Supergirl, could you go and talk to Lena? - Alex asks.
Kara hesitates before answering, but Maggie saves her from any responsibility thinking it was a better option.
Do not worry, I'm going - Maggie offers- you can continue planning another strategy to stop this as soon as possible.
Okay- says Kara.
Few minutes later
Maggie, what a pleasure to have you here -Lena says with a small smile and gets up to give a short hug to the detective who little by little has become a friend, all thanks to Kara and her determination to help her make more friends and get to know better all the people around her.
The miracles that you don't do - says the detective with a smile - actually I came here because we need your help with a new alien threat, your expertise is required little Luthor, you know that you and Winn are the perfect mix for this kind of problems.
Of course, there's no problem - says Lena and suddenly she is interrupted by Jess, her assistant, who arrived with an immense bouquet of flowers, as soon as she saw them, she knew who was sending them.
Jess, not now -says Lena in a choked voice to Maggie's curiosity because as far as she knew Lena was a single woman and at the moment she was not dating anyone.
But the bouquet is beautiful, Miss Luthor- insists Jess because it was the only true love story she knew and she did not want it to end like this- I think the person who sent it wanted you to read this note
I already told you not Jess! - Lena raised her voice and surprised them - please take that out of my sight, I do not care what you do with them, just take them out, I beg you - says to the point of tears and turns her back on them so that they can´t see her vulnerable, only Kara Danvers could make her feel like this with a simple bouquet of flowers.
You're good? - asks Maggie with concern
Yes- says Lena and her defenses raise again- we better go to the DEO to solve this
Lena- insists the detective because she had never seen her like this
I don't want to talk about this- says Lena with determination and it is quite clear to Maggie
OK, I won't mention the subject again- says the detective- Will you come with me to the DEO?
Yes, of course, just give me a moment- says Lena
I'll wait for you downstairs- Maggie says, sheleaves the office and notices that Jess still has the bouquet on her desk hoping that Lena will see it and be moved, the detective says goodbye and takes the opportunity to discreetly read the card in the bouquet
"We live a difficult time
And maybe our relationship ceases to exist
But I would only be happy if you could forgive me
Because the love we feel is true and you know it. "
With Love K- says at the end
OMG - thinks the detective with astonishment- that K must be the short version of Kara
Soon Maggie and Lena arrive at the DEO but the CEO does not determine Supergirl and goes to work immediately with Winn so as not to waste time. At the end of the night everything goes well and everyone can rest for one more day.
Thank you, your help was fundamental to the success of this mission - says J'onn with a mini smile
If things continue like this I'll start asking for fees - jokes Lena
It's time to go home- says Winn and says goodbye to the others- I'm dead
Do you want a ride? - Maggie asks Lena surprising her wife, Alex
There is no problem - says Alex, it seemed a little curious that her wife had offered to take Lena but it was a nice gesture for someone who had helped them a lot.
It's not necessary, my driver is nearby - says the girl
I can take you home faster - Supergirl intervenes, she sees an opportunity to talk to Lena alone - it'ss the least I can do after all.
I can stand on my own - says Lena harshly- also I'm not a fan of heights.
As you - says Supergirl, she will have won the battle against the aliens, but apparently with Lena she did nothing but lose.
Maggie watched in amazement as this only confirmed another of her suspicions Lena knew that Supergirl and Kara were the same person.
Shall we go Sawyer? - Alex asks seeing her wife lost in her own world
Yes, of course - says Maggie
Everyone goes their way, but Kara does not give up, not with the love of her life
Lena arrives at her penthouse and feels the change in the wind
I think I was quite clear when I told you that we have nothing to talk about -says Lena, feeling her presence.
Did you get the bouquet? Did you read what the card said? - asks the blonde
Stop calling me, send me flowers and gifts, you won't convince me- says Lena
Just give me a chance, My Love, I can't live without you- says Kara- we were so happy until I told you and now being Supergirl has lost its meaning, I feel incomplete without you
Lena closes her eyes and breathes deep
I wanted to give you some space, but this is torture- says Supergirl- I know that I should have been honest from the beginning, but I just wanted to protect you, I want to spend the rest of my life by your side, I know that we need to make an effort to return to the point where we were, I'll do whatever for you
This is over Kara- says Lena with severity
How does a love end when a few days ago ...? - Kara asks with irony
When a few days ago, you were the best in life, the person to whom I entrusted all my fears and weaknesses, the love of life- Lena ends- but all that changed
No- says Kara- do not lie to me, I can hear how your heart beats for me, just like mine, I recognize every detail of your body because I am the only one who knows it as well as you do, you are more than my girlfriend, you are the woman I love, with whom I want to have a family, you make me happy and I will not give up until you forgive me
What are you doing? - Lena asks surprised to see Supergirl getting closer and closer to her
I love you- Kara says when she has her face to face and descends little by little until Lena sees Supergirl on her knees in front of her
You were the one who got on your knees the first time, this time I do it so you can forgive me and give our love another chance
Don't do this to me Kara- says Lena with tears in her eyes - it's not fair
My Love- says Supergirl
No, go please- says Lena- I beg you
Give me a chance, we can fix it- says Kara
If you do not leave, I'll go -says Lena- and don't follow me, please respect that
Kara has an internal struggle because she wants to go after her, but she will not overlook what she has just asked for. With great effort she gets up and flies to her apartment.
Meanwhile Lena watches her room and that bed where she can't sleep since the last time she made love with Kara.
An hour later
Someone knocks on Kara's apartment door.
Lena- says the girl and she does not bother to check who is on the other side.
Kara- says Maggie and despite not being the one the blonde expected, she does not hesitate to give her sister-in-law a hug.
OK -says Maggie- you're going to leave me without air.
I'm sorry- Kara says and accompanies Maggie to the chair where she was a few seconds ago.
Are you eating vegan ice cream? - The detective asks with surprise because the blonde was just like Alex, they love food, especially fast food, so much that Maggie still questions how they have such spectacular bodies.
I like it- she answers
You or Lena? - The detective prefers to avoid detours.
What? - questions Kara alarmed, she looks at the time, notices how late it is and she is curious about the reason for the visit of Maggie - Where is Alex?
Sleeping at home like any normal person would do-says the detective- I ran away, thank God my wife had a long day, she is sleeping like a baby and did not notice it.
I know you have or had a relationship with Lena - says Maggie bluntly and before Kara can say anything else - don't try to deny it just by looking at you today I noticed, I do not know why I did not see what was in front of my eyes.
Kara does not deny it, she only breathes deeply and says - please do not tell anyone, this is something between her and me.
From what I could see in her office that something is ending - says Maggie and gives her some information - Lena did not want to receive your bouquet of flowers despite the insistence of Jess, who I suspect, knows of your relationship, she is the biggest fan of the two of you.
She did not receive it- says the blonde with disappointment and Maggie shakes her head.
I love her- says Kara after a couple of minutes because she is not emotionally well and she does not want to lie - like I've never loved anyone.
Two weeks ago it was a very special day- Kara says and shares a little of her ice cream Maggie.
Flashback
Kara wakes up feeling the sun on her skin, that sun that filled her with the energy she needed after having spent a super special night with the love of her life. The blonde is surprised to not see his girlfriend at her side, but her doubts are dissipated when she feels the aroma of freshly made pancakes with eggs, bacon and coffee, one of her favorite breakfasts and much more if it was prepared by Lena.
Good morning, Love- says Lena arriving to the room with a tray
Excellent morning- says Kara and gives a short kiss to her girlfriend - you should have told me and I would have helped you
I wanted to surprise you- says Lena- today is a special day
Yes? What is special about today in particular? - Kara asks with a smile
Don't get smart with me- says Lena- or there will be no more anniversaries to celebrate
Our first anniversary - says Kara - we have one year officially together
The first of many- says Lena and they kiss again until the stomach of the blonde roars- come here, your stomach already recognizes how good breakfast is
No, better come back here, I want something else- says Kara and kisses her neck
No, Miss, that's not on the menu- says Lena with a smile- I know how you start and then you won't let me get out of bed. Do I need to remind you that we both have to work today?
Do not forget tonight's dinner- says Kara and stops insisting- it's going to be spectacular
With all this mystery how could I forget- says Lena- eat or I'll start asking questions
Hours later
Where you are taking me?- says Lena because she was wearing a blindfold
Don't be impatient - Kara says - we're here - she takes the scarf out of her eyes
Love- says Lena because they were in that place where they had one of their first kisses- it was unique, and all the decoration that the blonde had put on reminded her of that day
This is beautiful, thank you Kara- says Lena and hugs her
No, you deserve these and more- the blonde moves the chair helps Lena to sit down and then she takes out a gift bag
Kara did not have to do this, with dinner is more than enough for me- says Lena
Let me pamper you, you deserve it- says Kara and they kiss- open it
Lena opens the gift and finds two VIP plane tickets for next weekend heading to Greece
We deserve to spend at least 4 days together without interruptions and no cell phones - says Kara, who had found it hard to convince J'onn to give her those days of rest - and I told Jess in time to organize your schedule so there is no problem
I love you, I love you!- says Lena and this time the kiss becomes much more passionate
We better eat all this looks delicious- Kara says and the two enjoy a pleasant night sharing what has happened in their day and with the desire that their relationship is no longer a secret.
I've been thinking - says Lena and I think we can tell the people closest to us that we're together
Are you sure? - Kara asks with a smile
Yes, I want to share our happiness with the people who love us, I know we kept our secret largely because of me, but I was only afraid that something would happen to you, you know all the threats that are against me and what my mother can do to make me suffer but I love you and for you I am capable of risking everything, I just do not want to lose you in the attempt.
You will never do it- says Kara and they kiss again, this time it is a tender kiss in symbol of the future that is to come.
I also have something for you- says Lena after the kiss
Love, we said no gifts- says Kara with a smile
You were the first to break the rule - replies Lena
You made a photo album- Kara says surprised
I wanted to keep the moments we have lived together forever - says Lena
Wow, you really have a lot of talent for photography- says Kara- I already told you
It's a hobby - says Lena blushing - and you know
It's a passion and one of those things that makes you be you- says Kara - My Love, thank you for sharing all these moments with me
The blonde looks at the bag and sees a little box- there's something else here
It's part of the gift- says Lena with a wicked smile
Love, this ... I can't accept it- says the blonde, stunned to see a pair of diamond earrings
You can't tell me that, you know how rare blue diamonds are, I chose them because they match with your eyes
Thank you- says Kara
They look even more beautiful on you- says Lena and thinks about how beautiful they will look with the ring that is kept in her safe
The girls hug and decide to spend the night enjoying each other
Days later in Greece
I can't believe it, today is our last day in this paradise- Kara says as she hugs Lena in the back and look at the city- we could come back another time- she suggests
Of course ... Thank you for making me so happy- Lena says with a deep look towards the sea, she turns around and they kiss in the light of the moon
Lena guides Kara to the beach, the blonde does not notice it, she's lost in the beauty of her girlfriend because love is a complex feeling but she had never felt so much for a person
Where are you taking me Love? - Kara question
At the beginning of our life together- says Lena with an air of mystery and nerves that were going to eat her alive because she was going to take the step to be happy with the light of her life, her love, Kara
Kara is surprised to see a heart made with candles and some of the photos that were on the album that Lena gave her on their anniversary
Kara, together we have learned a lot, today we know much more about love, about life, about us and about what we want. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life in your arms, I want to wake up with you every day by my side, I want a family and to achieve all that I want you to accept this ring as a sign of my unconditional love and I want to ask you if you would like to be my wife. I love you.
Will you marry me? - says Lena, kneels in front of her blonde and opens a small box with a large ring
Meanwhile Kara is in shock, she would like nothing more than to say yes to Lena, but she knows she can't do it without her knowing her greatest secret
Love? - says Lena with concern, she expected an instant yes
I'm dying to say yes, you don't know how much I want to say yes, -the blonde does not know what to do or how to act but she's sure that this is the moment of truth- Lena I ... I love you, but you need to know everything about me- the blonde helps her girlfriend to get up and can hear Lena's heart beating as if it were going to come out of her chest
Love, I ... -Kara hesitates, she does not know what could be her girlfriend's reaction to this, I am ...
Talk to me Love- says Lena when she sees her hesitation- nothing ... nothing will change what I feel for you, how much you a ...
I'm Supergirl - Kara interrupts
No - says Lena confused- Love this is not the time for jokes
The blonde makes sure there is no one nearby, takes her waist and both levitate on the sand
Nooo- says Lena with tears in her eyes- it's not possible
I just wanted to be honest with you - says Kara - I owed the truth and I can't keep this secret when our relationship progresses
You only told me because you saw yourself forced with my marriage proposal! - shouts Lena visibly angry
My love, let me explain, please - begs the blonde
If you do not trust me, why are we in a relationship? - Lena asks - I just did the craziest thing of my life and I barely know you
Lena ... no, you know how I really am- Kara says with tears in her eyes- I love you, you are my life ... I wanted to tell you so many times but I was afraid of this ... afraid of losing you and I don't want to, I couldn't stand it
I don't know how I got to the idea that I could be happy with you - says Lena absolutely shattered - you do not know everything that I risk by doing this and now I know you're Supergirl, that's just another reason not to be with you
Lena, you're not thinking clearly, -says the blonde scared of what this may mean for their relationship
For once I think clearly because I know the truth - says Lena now with red eyes - I love you and you love me, but that's precisely why we can't be together. A super and a Luthor can never be together
My Love ... come back to me- says Kara destroyed- I did it to protect you
You lied to me- says Lena- and you did it many times, do you think it never crossed my mind that you were Supergirl? I'm not stupid Kara but I saw you two together, I took care of you when you were sick, I've seen you bleed Kara ... you lied to me- she repeats with even more tears and the blonde knows that Lena was devastated
Forgive me -Supergirl begs- I can explain everything ... we can make this work
Don't follow me- says Lena and stops to see the heart and the photos to remember those moments- I will get to to return to National City by my own
Lena...! - shouts Kara
I beg you, let me go because I do not trust myself or what I feel for you- says Lena- this is just another way of telling you how much I love you ... letting you go, moving you away from me- Lena is running away, Kara could reach her at any time but she just wanted to get away from there as soon as possible
Kara watches her go, she watches as her home collapses again.
End of Flashback
One year together Kara! And this happened two weeks ago, -says Maggie- Alex is going to kill you when she finds out and to know me before.
It is better not to say anything to her- says the blonde with discouragement- it does not matter, Lena does not want to come back to me.
I do not think that's true- thinks Maggie- not after seeing her reaction to the bouquet of flowers sent by Kara.
Ok, now you have to go back much more than two weeks, how did it all start? - says Maggie and Kara takes the opportunity to vent and take a weight off because the only person who knew of their relationship was Jess and not because Lena and she had decided to tell her.
Kara tells her everything, everything to Maggie,with the exception of certain "details" that the girl would not want to hear and the blonde may not have returned with Lena yet but she knows that Maggie Swayer is more than a sister-in-law, she is a friend and counselor.
