A/N: English is not my mother tongue, so I apologize for any grammar and spelling mistakes.

I've watched a couple episodes of Supergirl after I discovered the trailer and found out that it wasn't a movie as I had guessed. I really started to like the characters and all the different relationships between them, like Kara&Alex (I love the sister bonding moments), Kara&Cat (Cat is one of the best characters and a great mentor for not only Kara but for Supergirl as well), Kara&Winn&James (I love the trio XD), Alex&Hank (Hank is like a father figure to Alex)

and lastly Alex&Maxwell Lord. I know some people ship Cat&Max, but after I saw the little *SPOILER ALERT* holding hands thing in the season finale and all that tension between them in other episodes, I just started love their chemistry ^.^ And even though Max was an ass, I still hope for him and Alex to be together. And… I'm "talking" too much XP.

Anyway, this chapter is a little short, but I just need to upload this as soon as possible. Enjoy! ^.^

Alex lifted up her top and examined the bruise that was already starting to turn dark purple. It stretched out from her lower rib cage to her left hip and damn it started to hurt.

"You should get yourself checked out. You might have broken ribs" ,a male voice interrupted the silence.

"I'm fine" ,Alex said, pulled down her top and turned around to face the intruder who had just entered her lab without knocking. "More importantly, to what do I owe the pleasure Mr. Lord?" ,she spoke with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Max smiled and stepped closer. "First, just call me Max. Second It'd be rude of me not to say goodbye to the agent who saved me from getting killed by an alien. Third, seeing as she got injured even if she tried to downplay it at the scene, I felt I had the responsibility to check up on her. It seems I'm the only person here at the DEO right now, who has the guts to face the injured agent who keeps snarling at everyone who tries to help her."

Alex raise her brows and said knowingly, "I don't know who you're talking about."

"Oh really?" Max smirked and stepped even closer, trapping her between the table and him. He placed his right hand on her left ribcage and pressed down on it gently. Alex hissed and her breath hitched, not sure if it was because of the pain or because of the little space between their faces.

For a while no syllables were exchanged and heavy silence filled the space around them.

It felt so right for Max have his hand on her body with only a thing layer of fabric separating their touch. His gaze wandered from her eyes down to her lips and then back up, only to get pulled into the depths of her brown eyes again. He wondered why she had such a strong effect on him, like a magnet always forcing him to search for her immediate proximity.

And he had the same effect on Alex. It made her so confused as to why she wasn't pushing him away. With any other man she would have already retreated inwardly, only to put up walls and her stoic facade. But with Max she felt like every time he came near her, she found herself unable to move away from him. And at the very moment, she was allowing Maxwell Lord, the man who had once tried to kill her sister, into her personal space. It was more than just confusing.

They were so close, Alex could feel Max's breath on her skin, she could smell his after shave, as well as he could probably smell her shampoo and she could see the desire that showed in his dark eyes. Their faces were edging closer, their eyes fluttered close and their lips brushed lightly against each other, when suddenly Alex's phone started to vibrate. Immediately both of them broke apart, the small disturbance had pulled them out of their trance. Alex looked down at her phone and Max just cleared his throat, looking at the floor.

"It's my sister. Our mother is coming to town and I better get going" ,Alex managed to say in the moment of awkwardness.

Max nodded and said, "They are not broken, but badly bruised. You should get them checked out."

Alex blinked a few times and furrowed her brows, wondering what he was talking about.

"Your ribs." Max gestured to her left side.

"Oh, I'm fine. I've had worse." she smiled slightly, grabbed her bag with her right hand and went for the door. She titled her head slightly and said, "Goodnight Max."

As she stepped out of the room, she heard a quiet Goodnight Alex.
