A/N : Human AU. Kara has cystic fibrosis. She's in college.

Alex and Lucy are doctors.

"Ughh, the night shifts suck. Especially today." Lucy grumbled throwing the chart on the table.

This night was particulary busy, which wasn't quite surprising given the fact that it was New Year's Eve. So the waiting room was filled with all kind of drunk morons who'd managed to get hurt.

"Tell me about it." Alex sighed. "You wanna grab a beer after?"

"You don't need to ask twice."

"Dr Danvers, you have a patient waiting in 203." A nurse said joining them.

"I'll be right there." She assured before turning back to her friend. "Duty calls. See you later."

"You better." Lucy shouted after her.

Pushing the door open Alex grabbed her chart. After reading it she glanced at her patient and went to wash her hands.

"So how did you manage to get a bulllet wound? We need to register those you know?" Alex informed raising her brow.

"I do know that doctor-"

"Danvers."

"I know that doctor Danvers because it's not my first time. I'm a detective with the NCPD."

"Well, detective-"

"Sawyer." Maggie filled in. "Maggie."

"Detective Sawyer, it looks like the bullet went through and through, but we'll need to do an x-ray to make sure." Alex said putting her gloves on.

After inspecting the wound she started to disinfect it, ignoring the chain of curses coming from the detectives mouth.

"It doesn't seem too bad. Come on, let's get you to the x-ray room."

"Can I at least change out of this gown?"

"Sorry, hospital policies."

As they walked through the long corridor Maggie held the back of her gown trying to preserve some dignity.

"Umm, can we get a quick detour? It's just around the corner." Alex asked already guiding them to the room.

"Sure."

As Alex opened the door Maggie saw a blonde sitting on her bed, focused on her laptop. She had an oxygen cannula and NG tube in her nose and IVs in her arms attached to the bags filled with medicine.

The room was cozy and colorful. The wall covered with paintings and photos. Mostly of Alex and the blonde.

As soon as she saw the brunette she grinned and opened her arms indicating for the woman to hug her and Alex immediately obliged.

"You should be sleeping." Alex said sternly as she finally let go.

"I need to finish this assigment or I won't pass the class." Kara defended between coughs.

"Your teachers know what you're dealing with. They'll let you finish a little bit later. And if they don't I'll make them."

"I'm always behind everyone." Kara sighed.

"Stop that. You're smarter than all of them combined."

"I think you're a little bit biased." Kara chuckled.

"I don't know what your're talking about." Alex smiled taking the laptop away.

Only now Kara noticed the other occupant in the room.

"Umm, hi." Kara smiled fiddling with her glasses. "Oh gosh what happened?"

"Wrong place, wrong time." Maggie shrugged. "I've had worse."

"Kara, this is Maggie."

"Sorry for interrupting."

"You didn't." Kara waved her hand dismissively. "It's kinda boring in here."

"Okay, it's late. Time to sleep." Alex said waiting for the blonde to lay down before tucking her in.

"Don't think I won't check on you later." Alex warned kissing her forehead.

"It was nice to meet you Maggie. Alex will take good care of you." Kara assured.

"I don't doubt that."

"Sleep." Alex repeated turning the lights off.

"You that friendly with all your patients?" Maggie chuckled as Alex guided her to the elevator.

"Nope." Alex said pressing the right button. "Just my sister." She smiles fondly.

"Sorry, it's just, you two don't look alike."

"She's my adoptive sister." Alex clarified.

"Oh, what happened?" Maggie asked before she could think. "Sorry, it's not my business."

"It's fine. Her mom died when she was 6 and she was left with her shitty excuse of a father for 5 more years." Alex said angrily hitting the buttons.

Before Maggie could answer the elevator opened.

"Doctor Danvers." The nurse greeted.

"Hi Eve."

"Sorry it took so long but the x-ray is free now."

20 minutes later Alex sat in front of the computer looking at Maggie's x-ray.

"Definitely through and through." Alex smiled. "Just a few stitches and you're ready to leave."

"Awesome."

After taking care of the wound Alex let her patient change into her own clothes.

"How are you getting home?"

"My friend's picking me up in two hours."

"I'm heading to the bar across the street if you wanna hang out while you wait."

"With pleasure. I could really use a drink."

"If by a drink you mean water then go ahead. I just need to check on that goober. She likes to wander around."

"How long has she been in here for?"

"Tomorrow it'll be two weeks."

"Wow.

"She's kinda used to it." Alex said sadness clear in her voice.

She wanted to ask more but the doctor was already peaking into her sister's room where the blonde was fast asleep in her bed.

"Yo, Danvers!" Lucy shouted from the bar counter she was sitting at, clearly tipsy.

"Your friend?" Maggie whispered.

"Yeah." Alex sighed.

"Luc, you were supposed to wait for me."

"Sorry. Who's your friend?"

"Detective Maggie Sawyer." The detective intoduced herself shaking Lucy's hand.

"Well, why don't you join us?"

"Sure." Maggie smiled ordering three beers. As she was about to take a sip Alex slipped it out of her hands. "Sorry, antibiotics and alcohol don't mix."

Maggie snorted and snatched her beer back and said. "It's only one beer."

Alex rolled her eyes and took a sip out of her own bottle.

"Do you want me to go with you tomorrow again?" Lucy asked.

Alex shook her head and said. "No, I want someone I trust to keep an eye on Kara." She waved to get the barman's attention. She needed something stronger to even think about tomorrow,

"Oh, hey maybe Maggie can help! You deal with things like that everyday right?" Lucy almost shouted.

"Like what?" Maggie asked confused.

"I need to find someone, but he's been a ghost for years. We've tried on our own but the fucker is no where to be found." Alex explained closing her eyes enjoying the burn of her drink.

Maggie looked questioningly at Lucy.

"Kara's biological father." Lucy precised.

"Why do you need to find him?"

"My sister has CF."

"CF?" Maggie asked.

"Cystic fibrosis." Lucy explained.

"Her father had neglected her treatments when she was younger and now she's paying for his mistakes." Alex added downing another drink.

"She's gonna need a marrow transplant soon to give her more time, but we haven't found a match yet. It's usually family. Biological family who are the best chance."

"You need to give me details and I can get my guys to look around." Maggie suggested.

"Really?"

"Sure. I owe you for patching me up."

"You don't owe me anything. But thank you." Alex said trying to subtly wipe her tears away.

A/N : I'm not sure if anyone likes the idea, so let me know.
