THE STRONGEST OF US ALL

Chapter 1

It had started off as a normal day for Alex. She woke up, watched Maggie sleep, got up and showered. Had a light breakfast. Saw Maggie off to work. Got her things together locked up and then headed if to the DEO.

She loved the way everything was going right now. She was with Maggie, who had the most beautiful soul she could have ever have hoped to met. Yes the relationship had its ups and downs and Alex would admit in a heartbeat that she had caused a majority of the downs in the early days, but they were on an even keel. They were completely open and honest with each other now. No more hiding behind emotional walls. Alex smiled to herself not really taking in what was being said during J'onn's briefing.

"Agent Danvers can you you explain to us all what part of "The Daxamites are extremely dangerous" you found so funny that it made you smile?!" Her boss shouted at her.

Alex went bright red at being caught out. "Um er... Sorry!" She mumbled.

"Please give your full attention Agent Danvers. This could be a matter of life and death and you are off dreaming!" J'onn said.

This embarrassed Alex more because she immediately knew that he had been in her mind.

"I'm sorry sir! I'm all ears now!" Alex stuttered out.

There were no further incidents during the rest of the briefing. Alex paid full attention. She knew that she could be in serious danger with the Daxamites being Supergirls family. After the briefing Alex organised two patrols to go out into the city to keep watch. She was in charge of team one. The orders were to alert the base of any unusual activity.

Returning a few hours later Alex debriefed her agents and was collared by Winn.

"Alex I have something for you!" He smirked.

"Ok that sounds so wrong yet intriguing at the same time!" Alex replied. She followed the geeky agar t to his computer room.

"This is something I have been working on for you!" Winn started as he bent down to pick something out of the box at his feet. He stood back up and Alex felt a little disappointed when she saw one of her black government issue tops.

"Oh Ok thank you!" She said quietly.

"Don't look so sad Alex. It's very deceptive isn't it? Well I would like you to take out your knife. Not to use on me I might hasten to add! Try and cut it!" Winn smiled.

Alex did as she was asked and went forward to try and cut the top. As soon as the metal of the blade touched the top it went solid and the knife snapped in Alex's hand.

"What the ...!"

"Cool eh? Ok now come with me to the firing range I want you to see what happens when you shoot it. He said as he ran out the room in such a gleeful way.

Once in the range Winn hung the top on the target and moved it to the end of the hall. Alex removed her gun from her holster. She took aim and then fired. Upon impact again the top went solid and the bullet disintegrated.

"What is that?" She asked confused.

"Ok I have basically made you a bulletproof and stab proof and probably all other kind of proof too! It's made of similar material to Supergirl's outfit. Yours is lighter to accommodate the fact that unless you're in danger it is just a top. We need to keep you safe Alex so many times I have seen you rush out with no protection on. Now you never have to worry about that again. I'm even working on pants too. Until then protect your legs at all costs!" Winn smiled.

"Winn I can't thank you enough!" Alex said taking the geeky agent into a hug. "But you tell anyone about what I just did remember I can kill you six ways with just my index finger!"

"I won't say a word!" He said quickly the smile falling from his face.

Alex made her way back towards the changing rooms. She needed to check in with Maggie. It was an unsaid thing between them that they would check in during the day. Reaching her locker she opened it and took out her phone. She had a few missed calls from Kara. They could wait a little longer. It was probably some drama with Mon-El again.

She looked at the messages she had received.

Hey Danvers how's the life of an agent treating you? Are you as bored as me? Miss you.

OK Danvers I am so bored now and you are not talking to me do I have to sulk and bring vegan ice cream with me later!

Alex couldn't help but laugh at the second message Maggie could be such a brat sometimes. She started to write a reply.

Hey babe been busy patrolling. You are such a spoiled soul aren't you with your sulking x

The reply was almost instant.

I'm only spoiled because you spoil me so much :) Anyhow Emily called me a little while ago she wants to meet us both for dinner. Do you fancy it?

Alex smiled she was happy Maggie was talking to Emily again.

Sure why not. But why does she want me there?x

Because honey I want you there.

Alex smiled at the reply. Maggie was such a cutie sometimes.

I'm always with you Mags x

Alex smiled because she knew Maggie would be cursing her for calling her Mags. She hated it.

I also gave her your number so she could text you the details too. I hope you don't mind?

Alex thought about what to reply for a moment.

As long as she doesn't expect me to become text buddies with her that's fine x

I knew you would be cool about this :) I'm just finishing up my paperwork now do you want me to come pick you up?

Alex smiled.

Definitely come pick me up. Can't wait to see you ;) x

I will be there in about an hour. See you soon :)

See you soon babe. Be safe :) x

I always am Alex. I have you to come home to :)

Alex put the phone back in her locker and began to get undressed. She would grab a shower here to save time at home because she knew she always took too long to get ready. She was just folding her pants when her phone started ringing. Thinking it was Kara she answered it.

"What has Mon-El done now?"

"Who is Mon-El? Is this Alex?" The confused voice said in reply.

"Oh god I'm sorry I thought you were my sister. Yes it's Alex here!" Alex apologised quickly.

"Hi it's Emily. I'm just ringing because I was kind of wondering if you wanted to meet before dinner tonight for drinks. Just you and me. I want to take some time to get to know you. Maybe even become friends?" The woman asked.

Alex was a bit taken aback. The last thing she expected was her girlfriends ex to be talking to her whilst she was stood in her underwear.

"Erm yeah ok. Listen I'm at work at the minute and can't really talk?"

"Oh I'm sorry. Ok meet me at my hotel at say 5? That's what 2 hours away?" Emily suggested.

"Ok I will see you then. Bye!"

"Bye Alex!"

Alex text Maggie.

I have just been speaking to your ex in my underwear!x

Damn! Wish I was there but alas I have just spilt my coffee down myself reading your underwear message!

Haha! Nooo! Really?x

Yes really. What did you and Emily talk about?

Oh we are just meeting for drinks before dinner. She said she wants to get to know me?x

Do you still want me to come get you?

You can come and get me anytime babe ;) x

Danvers I have never seen this cheeky side to you before?

Well Maggie I am kind of stood almost naked x

Damn stop being a tease and get showered before Winn walks in and sees you like that!

Ok babe anything for you :) x

I'm going home to grab a shower now after the coffee incident be there soon.

Ok. Be safe x

Always :)

Alex licked her phone and put it back in her locker. She loved it when she and Maggie could be playful with each other. She finished getting undressed and wrapped her towel around herself before grabbing her wash things and making her way to the shower.
