Stand in Your Way
Summary: What if Mxyzptlk fell in love with Alex instead of Kara? Warning: possible spoilers for 2x08 and 2x13.
A/N: I don't own Supergirl nor any of the characters in this story. Also, I imagined Natalie Dormer's Moriarty from "Elementary" when I wrote her in as Mxyzptlk. Hope you guys like it! :)
Alex's head was swimming. Swimming with images of her kissing Maggie, drowning in the sound of her own heartbeat as she cried that night, and the many nights that followed. Gasping for breath from the moment Maggie showed up at her door. She's not sure what's happening, but she thinks Maggie might possibly like her. That's what she's getting from all... this.
"-We should be who we are... and we should kiss the girls we want to kiss... and I- I really want to kiss you," Maggie declared as she went for Alex's lips.
Just when their lips were about to touch, a blinding light suddenly filled the room and no, it wasn't because of the glorious moment that they were about to share.
"Alex Danvers, I love you."
Maggie was confused. Very confused. She was thinking those exact words but they didn't come out of her mouth. It came from across the room. Wha-?
Their heads whipped quickly to where the words came from to see a very sexy, annoyingly beautiful and annoyingly annoying bitc-woman-standing there, wearing a black laser-cut lace dress that's too short for Maggie's liking.
"Um, Alex...?"
Finally finding her voice, Alex addressed the mysterious woman, "Who are you? You're clearly not from around here or else you would know that it's not nice to trespass in other people's homes. And if you know me well enough to declare your love, then you should be well aware of what I can do with one finger."
At this, Maggie raised an eyebrow but said nothing. The woman snapped her fingers, "Oh darling, I think I'd like you to know what I can do with one finger," she chuckled to herself. "First things first. Let's set the mood!" candles appeared on the table with small, floating flames that resemble little stars, and romantic music filled the room when 4 men in tuxedos appeared in the corner of the apartment and started to play their violins. "And for the piece de resistance," she held out her hand and a black velvet box appeared in her palm. She opened the box and inside was a diamond ring so beautiful it could fall in love with its own self.
While all of this was happening, all Maggie and Alex could do was watch helplessly in confusion, not understanding the words coming out of this mysterious woman's mouth. But the last thing she said snapped Maggie from her stuppor, "Alex, will you marry me?"
"Woahwoahwoah. Hold it right there, blondie. I don't know who you are or how you got here, but she's with me," Maggie tried to advance toward the other woman but Alex stopped her before anything else happened.
"Ah, the woman who rejected my Alex. You want her now, do you? Now that she's clearly unavailable. Now that she has me. We want to be alone. Go away, please. Thank you," she then snapped her fingers once more and Maggie suddenly disappeared.
Alex was suddenly pinning the woman against a wall in her apartment, "This is more like it," the woman said, trying to kiss Alex. "No! where did you send Maggie?!" Alex is furious. "Relax, she's just hanging out at the NCPD. In a cell, for her safety."
Alex pinned the woman harder against the wall, "I have questions and you better give me answers now! Who are you, where did you come from and how do you know who I am?"
"My name is Mxyzptlk and I love you, Alex Danvers." Her voice was silky smooth and Alex nearly gave in right then and there.
Alex released her grip on the other woman's shoulders, "Keep talking, Mixiewixie."
"Mxyzptlk. It's spelled like it sounds." She waved her hands lazily in the air and magical letters floated to spell ou K.
"They call me an inter-dimensional...sensation," she said with a wink and a chuckle. "I believe your sister's cousin knows who I am."
Alex let her go, still trying to make sense of it all.
Mxyzptlk started pacing, looking around the apartment as she spoke, "I've watched you across the dimensions, an eternity of lovelessness. There's no one like you where I'm from, Alex. No woman as strong, or independent or as beautiful or as brave, or as bold..."
Oh boy, she's good.
Alex sighed and sat on her couch. "Okay, look. I'm flattered... but I'm not going to marry you, Mxyzptlk."
But not that good.
Mxyzptlk stopped pacing and looked directly at Alex with an intensity about her. It was kind of enthralling and scary at the same time. "Right. I am all-seeing but that's one of the few things I can't make you do. I can't make you love me, or stop you from killing yourself or drink orange juice for some reason."
She continued, "No matter. I know what you're doing. You're playing hard to get, Alex Danvers, and I do not give up easily. I always get what I want. And I. Want. You. Until next time, darling."
With a flourish of her hand and another flash of light, she vanished.
