Hi readers, I'm sorry for the delay. I decided to continue this story till the end, but as I said in the beginning, I am just letting it go as it comes from within, so that's why I don't have a schedule for the updates.

I hope you like the story, I see a good amount of follows and favs already, I would like to have some more reviews to know what you're thinking. Thank you so much :)


Finding the bar in daylight was a challenge. Walking in, it looked so much different that the night before. Now it was still dark and hidden, but not so packed. The atmosphere was actually chilling and the music wasn't so loud. People in the booths and at the bar were chatting and laughing casually. Alex walked towards the bar followed by Kara and motioned for the bartender to approach.

"You must be last night's entertainment" The young woman said smirking at Alex and winking. "Maggie has your wallet, she's at the pool table just around the corner." She then brought her attention to Kara, "Hey pretty, I've never seen you here before... beer?"

Alex didn't wait for Kara to finish her small talk with the bartender. Her mood was starting to become really bad, her headache was still there and she just wanted to get her wallet back and leave. So she walked round the corner and found the pool table where she recognized the woman from last night playing on her own, maybe trying some new techniques.

"Maggie?" Alex called approaching her more violently than intended.

"Danvers!" The brunette greeted looking up. Her big smile softened Alex just a little bit for almost a second.

"They called saying you have my wallet"

"Yeah I do."

Maggie didn't move, she just stood there smirking and holding her glance to Alex's, until the latter shifted uncomfortably, crossed her arms and looked away with a cough. She quickly recovered though, and asked "Can you give it to me, please?"

"Oh, sure" Maggie answered pretending she had forgotten about the wallet. She gently put the wallet in Alex's hand and added, "But um... are you in a hurry? I thought maybe we could-"

She was interrupted by Kara walking towards them and standing next to her sister.

"Hi, you must be Maggie... Um, congratulations on winning last night" Kara said reaching out to shake Maggie's hand.

"How did you get my number?" Alex asked abruptly, catching Maggie's eyes again.

"Oh, well I am in the police department. I saw your name in a card inside the wallet and just did some research" She smirked again. Kara smiled at her and looked at her sister, who was so not smiling.

"Thank you" Kara said looking at Maggie and gently elbowing Alex's ribs.

"Um yeah, thank you. This is important for me I have... important stuff here" Alex said awkwardly, pointing at her wallet.

"You're very welcome" Maggie told them both sensing the tension was leaving the room. "And you are?"

Kara realized she hadn't introduced herself, "I'm sorry, my name is Kara, I'm Alex's sister" She shook Maggie's hand again causing her to giggle sweetly.

Alex felt something. She would try denying it by all means but she did feel something. It was fleeting like a shooting star, some kind or spark trying to light up a fire, but she wasn't ready to embrace it. Alex didn't want to make space for that, for Maggie. She had to protect herself. The spark was gone just as it came.

And as the sisters said goodbye to Maggie after insisting they were late to get somewhere, Kara touched Alex's arm and noticed it was cold. Abnormally cold. She also noticed something different in her eyes, they were somehow darker, distant, still.

"Are you feeling ok, Alex?" She asked, worried.

"Yes Kara I am feeling ok. Just keep walking, we need to get to the D.E.O. before J'onn gets mad" She answered annoyed.

The sisters didn't say another word until they were inside the secret building. By the time they got there Alex was back to normal. Kara insisted on running some basic tests on her to make sure it was maybe only stress. Alex's body had normal temperature, the blood test gave a good result and a quick x-ray check performed by Kara showed everything was working well inside.

"Kara, stop worrying. I am fine, only tired and angry with the world, but those are human regulars." She embraced her sister briefly before getting to work. Kara shook her head with a small smile trying to let those words sink in.

Later that night it was hard to sleep, because every time she drifted off to sleep nightmares would wake her up. Alex was tossing and rolling in bed, angst pressing on her chest. Her dreams showed her a blurry Kara trying to wake her up, a blurry Maggie laughing adorably, J'onn running towards her and cold. So much cold.
