Authors note: So, been a while since my last Supergirl fanfic and decided to jump onboard a new pairing, trendsetter here as I have done Cat x Kara, Alex x Kara, and Alex x Lucy. So in this story it will be the pairing of Alex x Maggie. It seems like the perfect time to ride this ship and for those who are also open to it hope you enjoy this story. For those who aren't open to this ship or feel opinionated about the pairing as you stick to your own ship that is fine, just please keep it to yourself. We are all entitled to our own ship we sail, to that I have no argument as I have my own. This story will find Alex and Maggie working together on a case and things get a bit too…personal between the two.

Alex and Maggie: In over their heads

CH.1: Common ground

Alex Danvers woke in her apartment and stretched her arms over her head as the first rays of sunlight peel through her blinds and onto her sleeping form. Her body was exhausted from the late night trying to track down this alien. Since the days of first meeting Maggie Sawyer she felt a slight thrill in seeing her working the case, throwing her weight around as she did her best to wrangle in one of the alien hostiles. Since meeting Maggie Alex found herself adjusting to her presence…while before it was more of an ice and fire thing going on.

Kara was busier than ever working the journalistic angle and being Supergirl leaving less time for their girl night in. Their shows were starting to pile up and Alex would hate to get rid of something without first discussing it with Kara. She got it…Kara had a life…but she also had one too working long hours at the D.E.O. and there was paper work. She could not remember the last time she had been on an actual date.

Pulling the covers over her head she tries to catch a few more minutes of sleep but her alarm blaringly goes off leaving any sleep left to yesterday. Throwing the covers off she walks to the bathroom. She is wearing boy shorts under a white short shirt that shows off her stomach. Shucking off the clothes she steps into the shower and lets the water run over her form.

Body wise she had an athlete's form, not exactly one to fixate on beauty as she grew up playing ball or working out. She was always in top shape for whatever came to her in life. Running her hand through her hair and down her body she found herself thinking of Maggie…in fact of late it was all she thought of. Maggie was so confident in herself and in the way she handled any given situation. She related to the aliens who hung out in this safe haven that Maggie had introduced her to…and after hearing her story she felt she had misjudged her, misjudged much of the hostiles she had hunted.

Running her hand along her stomach she doesn't even realize where her hand is going till her eyes snap open. Finishing up her shower she dries herself off and gets dressed. No, that did not just happen; she did not…could not sink to such a level. Her showers were usually cleanly yes, but, that cleanly no.

Hearing her phone she presses it to her ear. "This is Agent Danvers…what…I will be there shortly." Alex hung up feeling she would be meeting with Maggie again.

Maggie was lying in bed and as she opened her eyes she smiled seeing the naked back of some alien she had hooked up with. Dinner was great and the evening was inviting for pleasantries and the like. She had spines along her back, like one of those veggie dinosaurs. Of course she was drawn to what was currently smooshed against the sheets. Aliens, humans, for the most part they had the same anatomy so she worked with that.

Ever since she was young she was always concerned with equality, whether among the LGBTQ community or that of race/skin color. There was an issue right now in the world concerning lower pay of women against that of men. They had a female President and that was fine, she was proud of that. And this President was hoping for Aliens to have the same rights as those of humans. One alien didn't quite agree with that, it was hard to say if she was truly wrong on that subject.

"I take it this was only for one night," Maggie turns to see the woman lift her head and her orange eyes gaze at her.

"I mean it doesn't have to…but…the life I live and all doesn't give me much time off. It was fun; I really had fun, did you?" Maggie reached out rubbing her spine a bit causing the female to push off the bed a bit.

"Oh yeah…for a human…you weren't half bad. So…big case?" Maggie shrugged as she usually did, no case was too big or small really. Shucking off the sheets she begins to put on her panties and then her bra as she doesn't feel quite awake till she feels the material against her skin.

"National City is full of crime…some committed by humans, some by hostile unruly aliens. If you ask me, both are working at making this world unstable. Neither of our kind can be ruled out of what happens on some scale. That being said…it is a case like any other."

Maggie slips on her pants and feels the woman up against her from behind. Her scaled like hands running along her sending a tickling sensation through her, not the kind that made her laugh but more like pleased. "Then why go?"

"Oh you know, I am a cop, it is in my blood. I can't turn away from someone in need of help just as much as I can't put down the shield that indicates I swore an oath. After this you will go find something else to entertain yourself…me…this part of life does not come easily."

Before she could retort she turned around giving her a quick peck on the lips before finding her shirt and everything else she needed for the day. Walking to the door she knows the woman is sizing her up and she shakes her head in an amused manner. By the time she walks out the door into the main part of the safe haven of sorts she nods her head to Darla before walking out.

Alex was already at the crime scene by the time she saw Maggie pull up in the squad car. The scene was quite a mess with several bodies cut into. She was looking at one piece of evidence in particular when the dark haired woman joined her. "What do we got?"

"Do you always arrive this late?" Alex noted. She didn't mean to be judging her any, she only got here early so she can focus on something other then what her thoughts had been in the shower.

"Excuse me…some of us like sleeping in…or when we don't want to be rude and leave the girl we are with." Alex looked away from her as she said that not really wanting to picture that. She did not know why she was acting this way…she liked guys…or at least she thought she did till Maggie waltzed into her life. It had become a point where she couldn't go to a crime scene without her there.

"So…we have three bodies, all of them cut up with something sharp…extremely sharp to cut through the marrow of the bone. I'm not sure if this fits the usual MO of most of our hostile aliens here in National City."

Maggie walked past her as she examined the bodies looking over them with those eyes; they were so intense she swore she'd have X-ray vision or something. "I concur. We are either looking at someone who has a katana or a blade folded over more then what is safe or…a Meta of sorts with claws that would ravage the human body to chewable proportions."

"I should take over this investigation…given my experience in dealing with this sort of thing. No offense but something this dangerous-."

"Let me stop you there Danvers…I am a big girl and I am not afraid of getting cut. You need to remember that I have some experience in what you are dealing with. I am capable and I can take care of myself. If you feel you can handle this, great, I'm still joining you on this. We good?"

Alex found her now facing her as she rose up from examining the body. There was this bright intelligence in her eyes…but it was more than that…there was this stubbornness as well. The two of them working together on this…she'd rather do it on her own or with a squad…whatever was out there might be even more than the two of them could handle.

"I hear no argument on your end so it is settled. We are partners on this case then. I might know a place to start out so if you will join me in the Squad car we can get going. Let your boss know when we get there, no need to let him know just yet."

"That is not how things work…I need to report…" She saw her walking away and heaved a sigh. However she found her eyes going behind and she had to look away quickly as she looked back at her.

"When you are done checking me out we can go." She teased causing Alex to fluster and she was about to respond when she went into the car.

"I was not looking…much…" Alex followed after her while texting the D.E.O. of the case and where she would be.

Authors note: Alex and Maggie are on the case, however will they find themselves in way over their heads on this?
