Hei hei!

This is my first story writing about Supergirl! I love the show and this story has been on my mind for some time. I thought I would give it a go. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters in any way.


Since Alex started working for the DEO and since promising her father director Henshaw had always be very protective of Alex. The younger woman was a strong, smart and wonderful person, she didn't need someone to hold her hand. But although he trusted her and loved her like his own daughter and it was kind of against his own beliefs from time to time he read her mind. And that was how he discovered that since a couple of weeks Alex had been in a serious relationship with detective Sawyer. Maggie Sawyer was a great detective Hank Henshaw thought and he couldn't be more happy that Alex had finally found someone she felt safe with, who she loved and who loved her back. So that night at the alien bar when Alex introduced Maggie to their group of friends Hank felt so proud of her!

As weeks went on the director witnessed some tender little moments between the two women, a small gesture, a little kiss on the cheek... nothing not work appropriate. But Hank had read the uncertainty and worry about Maggie in Alex's mind. He didn't know what that was all about, but he was not planning on anyone hurting his daughter! So the next day when the detective was nearby and occupied with a task, Hank 'violated' her privacy and began reading her mind... The older man was shocked by all the pain the detective kept hidden behind her dimpled smile. Was Alex aware of all this? Director Henshaw knew that Maggie as well as Alex loved each other very deeply, their love was honest! But he also knew that Maggie had been through a lot of pain when growing up. It already started since she was a little kid, growing up in a very strict household. The detective had been on the end of many physical violence and it had left his scars behind. Hank could read that Maggie felt not worthy, she loves Alex but she feels like she doesn't deserve her love at all. The director also got the impression that Maggie knew from a young age that she could fall in love with women. She had hidden it for so long but had expressed her love for her best friend when she was 14. After that moment everything charged so quickly for the young woman. Her parents were furious, as a girl you can't love girls. They felt ashamed and disgusted by their daughter. Her father had hit her hard in the face, dropping a bag with some of her belongings at her feet before voicing that she wasn't welcome at home anymore. He had pushed her out of his home and in doing so Maggie had broken her wrist and bruised two ribs, because of the impact on the ground. Furthermore, Hank could read about Maggie's time living with her aunt. The older women was against Maggie being a lesbian but fed her and provided her a room to live in. During that time till up the moment Maggie started her education at the police academy the young girl was lost. She drunk a lot, smoked, went to bed with different girls and even boys (trying to fit into this world) and had not any real friends. The director was shocked by the unworthy feelings he could sense coming from her. But since meeting Alex, Maggie also felt hope, like maybe she deserved to be loved for who she is!

That day Hank was kind of lost in his own thoughts. Reading someone's mind is not something he does very often, because he wanted to respect others people thoughts and feelings. But this was about Alex! He doesn't want her to get hurt, she's tough but had been through a lot as well and she deserves someone good! That was the only reason why he read the detective her mind. But in doing so he had gained so much knowledge, facts he didn't feel private to. Should he talk to Maggie or Alex? Or just wait and see what happens? Would Maggie tell Alex about her childhood and being kicked out of her home? In the end Hank decided it would be best to wait and see. Alex and Maggie still had so much time getting to know one another and he wasn't going to ruin that!

A couple of weeks later he could sense a strange and kind of angry and disappointed mood coming from Alex. He wasn't about the read her mind, but he hoped she knew he was always there for her.

Later that night when Maggie entered her apartment Alex couldn't hide what she knew anymore.

"What's so urgent?" Maggie asked, while making her way toward Alex.

"I went to see Emily."

"Ooooh why?" Maggie questioned, not knowing and liking where this conversation was headed.

"Well I wanted to go talk to her after seeing how upset you were at the restaurant. I went to stick up for you." Alex voiced.

"Alex… It's not your problem to fix."

"You were never really gonna tell me you cheated on her, were you?" Alex asked, looking directly into Maggie's eyes.

"Aaahhh… That was… That was a long time ago. I did a horrible thing and I already feel bad about it. You wanna bring it up, so we could feel worse." Maggie spoke, her face screwing up.

"No no no no, look this isn't about the fact that you cheated, okay? We've all have done dumb things. This is about the fact that you don't trust me enough to tell me the truth." Alex said, taking both glasses with liquor and brining them over to the couch where Maggie was taking a seat.

"I wanted to…"

"Listen, I thought a lot about this. You have a pattern of keeping things to yourself. You hid the truth about Emily. You made her seem like the bad guy and then before that you didn't tell me what really happened when you came out to your parents and how badly they reacted. You don't like to talk about you." Alex put into words carefully, seeing Maggie getting emotional.

"I know…" Maggie spoke, her voice small and uncertain.

"So I think… When your parents didn't accept you, you stopped trusting people that are closest to you. I totally get that. But Maggie you don't have to be guarded with me. I'm not here to judge you for things that happened in the past. I am here to help you heal." Alex continued, placing her hand tenderly against Maggie's cheek.

"You don't think I'm a bad person?" Maggie asked, her voice sounding small and breaking near the end.

"No, actually I always thought you were perfect. But its' really nice to see that you have problems too." Alex said, bringing Maggie in for a for in a tight hug, having witnessed the sadness coming from her.

"Thank you." Maggie whispered, closing her eyes.

"You can talk to me Maggie, I'm here… Always." Alex whispered tenderly, stroking her girlfriend's back.

"I know and I'm sorry." Maggie voiced, hiding her face in the crook of Alex's neck.

"You're staying the night?" Alex more stated than asked. She wasn't about to leave Maggie alone to deal with her feelings, not anymore!

"Hmmm, you want me to?" The other woman spoke, her voice sounding young and small. Why was Alex always so perfect? Maggie thought.

"Of course I want you to Mag. I'm not angry with you, I'm worried about you." Alex spoke, breaking the hug so she could look Maggie in the eyes.

"I should have told you I'm sorry…" Maggie whispered.

Alex softly kissed the other woman on the cheek, peppering little kisses there.
