Some notes:
No beta'd
A little something after 2x09, because Alex giggling and smiling like an idiot was too cute.
Sanvers is implied but not Maggie on this one.
Agent Collins walks out of the locker room that afternoon and heads to her desk without any rush. The whole week has been dead on alien threats, so much that even Supergirl seems a bit on the edge. Before she steps into the control room, the sight of a small group of agents at the farthest corner of the wall of screens catches her attention.
"Hey, what's going on?" She asks joining them.
"Have you seen Agent Danvers today?" Adams whispers, as if they're talking about some big secret.
"Not yet, why?"
"She called in sick this morning."
Collins does a double take because she couldn't have heard that right.
"What?"
"She arrived just forty minutes ago," This time is agent Blake who speaks. She looks a bit terrified, "She said 'hey!' and grinned at me."
"And ten minutes ago she was here with her sister, giggling." Adams says again, "Okashi almost had a stroke."
Said agent nods.
"Scariest five minutes of my life."
"Maybe she's infected with an alien virus?" Collins asks. She still is a bit skeptical about it all. "God knows they touch some weird stuff in those labs."
"Maybe she just got laid?"
All the others turn to stare at Parker with frowned faces.
"I just want her back to normal" Blake whines, ignoring Parker completely, "I'm used to bossy and slightly terrifying Danvers. Now she's cute."
"We all know how muchyou like bossy Danvers."
"Shup up, Adams." The agent retorts.
"She got laid, guys," Parker insists, "I'm telling you. She's got her eye on that cop that's been coming around lately."
Adams then starts gesturing the others to stop talking, and Collins turns in time to see agent Danvers approaching them.
"Hey, guys!" She greets them cheerfully, making them all cringe at once, "I was heading to work out a little. Any of you interested in sparring with me?"
There's a hot second while the agents share a look, and suddenly all five start babbling and excusing themselves to their respective workplaces, leaving a confused Alex behind.
Collins seats at her desk, stares at the screen, and sighs deeply.
The others were right. That was terrifying.
Agent Danvers needs to go back to normal before half the DEO goes into panic mode.
