Authors note: Hello my fellow readers, so, I am here with a brand new tale and for those Sanvers fans you will enjoy this. The premise is this…an alien Slaver ship is heading to Earth intent on securing rare alien species for their own nefarious purposes. It will take a plan of action the aliens won't see coming to stop it…and…it so happens to fall on the laps of Alex and Maggie. Can these two girls work to stop this invasion before it happens…or…will their plan backfire on them?
Alex and Maggie: Alien time bomb
CH.1: Plan in motion
"Your shot Danvers," Alex hears Maggie say. She smiles looking over at her girlfriend, wow, it still took some getting used to hearing that in her head.
"I didn't rush you on your shot…so…patience," Alex manages working past the smile on her face. Holding the pool stick in her capable hands she lines up the shot, aiming to sink the colored ball into the corner pocket.
"If I have any more patience this drink will need a refill. How come your sister decided to bail?" Alex thinks back to earlier when this plan had been put in motion, and much like a plan set up by the D.E.O., which is where she worked, plans in motion had a way of sizzling out.
"I think she and Mon El were planning to go to the movies, seeing how he has yet to see one. James and Winn are out doing their thing and well Hank…I think there are too many memories here of Miss Martian." She shoots and the ball sinks in making a resounding clunk that is music to her ears.
"So, looks like another date night just between the two of us." Alex watches Maggie as she sets her drink down and proceeds over to her with a sway of those hot hips of hers.
"Looks to be that way, though, think you can keep your hands to yourself for a bit…it is your turn after all." Alex is about to get up when she feels Maggie's hands on her hips, her body up against her as she leans down with her breath teasing her ear.
"I thought you wanted patience Danvers, besides, we are in a safe spot here. Trust me I've been in worse spots than this." Maggie leans against her and Alex finds her cheeks flushed.
"You keep this up and we will have to go back to my place," Alex can hear Maggie's soft laugh and it brings a flush to her cheeks.
"Is that invitation?" Alex finds herself laughing now and the two of them just laugh before Maggie pulls away.
"It is if you want…though…how about we finish our game first?" Alex tosses the stick to Maggie who catches it with deft motion.
"Alright, fair enough, though if I win we get Chinese, deal?" Maggie walks around the other side of the table as she lines up her shot.
"Hey, I sunk the ball; it is still my turn remember?" Alex watches Maggie consider this then shrugs as she hands it to her.
"Very well…come here and take it then." Alex rolls her eyes and as she reaches for it she finds herself pulled to Maggie. Colliding with her body the two of them share a moment pressed against one another, their eyes locked as they are inches apart.
"Help! Someone please listen…they are coming for us, all of us! I barely managed to escape and it might already be too late!" Alex finds her eyes torn and even Maggie eases from her as they notice the short alien. He had three spikes on his head and he seemed to be holding his arm which appeared loose on his body somehow.
"Whoa, take it easy, what happened?" Alex did not recognize his specie and he seemed to be malnourished somehow.
"I was…on a ship…a huge ship filled to the brim with others like myself, well, not like me per say but they were all aliens. The Slavers, yeah, that is what we called them…they plan on visiting each planet and taking those they prize and to sell them. I was lucky to escape…but…they are heading this way."
Alex stroked her cheek as she looked at Maggie, both of them seemed set on the same idea this could be the same situation that Kara and Mon El had found themselves in a bit ago. However…this could be a different group altogether as they weren't going for just aliens but those of special traits and abilities.
"How did you escape?" Maggie asks him. Alex studies the alien as he fidgets a bit. Would he tell them…or would he hide it?
"I-I'd rather not go too much into it, but, it involved me putting my hand through a metal barrier. I can absorb the most intense of electrical barriers but in so doing I-I wind up like this…the amount of electricity loosened my limb and I can't feel a thing. Normally my kind can withstand this and repair the damage…but…whatever they were using tore my arm out of its socket. I know Supergirl lives here…they will be coming for her…for anyone who bears a purpose."
Alex did not like the sound of someone coming for Kara…and…given that it was a ship he had escaped from it would put the President in alarm and most of the world into a full panic. This situation needed to be handled…and now.
"Alright you are coming with us…we need you to explain this to people that can help you." Alex tries to reach for the alien but he reacts out of fear and spines begin to extend from his body before they shoot out of him spinning at a fast motion sending everyone in the room down to the floor.
"Alex!" Maggie races towards her and pushes her to the ground just as one of those things latches into her shoulder.
"Maggie, are you ok?" Alex stares up at her girlfriend and can see she is fighting past the pain, her face ever the brave one.
"Ugh…yeah…this is nothing, you go and get that alien…just don't take long." Alex kisses her forehead before easing her to the floor. Racing after the alien she sees him waiting for her in the alley.
"You shouldn't have done that…we were only trying to help. My boss needs to hear this…he can help you out. My girlfriend…she won't be too hurt by whatever it is you did to her right?" Alex takes a few steps and the alien summons more of those spikes.
"I should warn you that if you continue approaching…I can increase the depth of penetration of my spinke, it will sink into her body and no doubt find what makes her breathe. I will tell you from what I have observed of your world that you will not stand a chance against an invasion…if you do anything…it will have to be before it touches down. However…no human will be allowed on the ship…and unless you have an alien that pass their specifications of interest…no one is getting onboard."
Alex considers his words and as she tries to reach out again he holds out a hand and a scream comes from the bar. Alex is conflicted and yet her concern and worry for her girlfriend outweigh her job. "Go on, but, you'd better hope we never meet again."
The alien nods his head as he closes his hand and the screams fade. Hurrying to Maggie she finds her sitting up, her shoulder is massed with blood coating her shirt.
"So much for date night huh? Did you get him?" Maggie has a strained smile and Alex tends to her girlfriend as she goes to help her up.
"He got away…but…we will get him. Right now we need to tell Hank about what we heard, and, somehow find a way to board this vessel before it reaches Earth." Alex helps Maggie out of the bar and hopes they aren't too late.
