Chapter 8: THE RELIEVED [Extra]

Alex sits in the infirmary, on an empty bed. Her eyes glisten as the sun rays appears from the glass window. A tears runs down her eye as she loses herself in her deep thoughts.

J'onn passes by the infirmary and sees Alex sitting there, alone. On his guess that she must be going through something, he enters the room.

"Alex, what are you doing here?" He asks. He stands in front of her like a statue, his arms folded.

She wipes off her tear and says, "I'm just-" she takes a deep breath in from her mouth and releases the air from her nose and continues, "When Winn told about the undercover mission, I reminisced that time when Maggie and I went on such mission."

J'onn just watches her and bends down to sit beside her. He doesn't say anything and lets her continue. He can understand what she's going through.

"It was our first case together." Her voice cracks. "She looked beautiful that day." She smiles as she remembers just how pretty Maggie was when she didn't have to pretend to be someone else. "I really miss her." She whispers.

"I know you do." He says. "We all do." He puts his hand around her shoulder to comfort her.

"I don't know what to do." She breaks down but resists he tears.

"Hey, hey!" He says as he looks her in the eye. "You are the strongest person I know. I know you'll get through it. I believe it."

She smiles at him and he smiles back. This time, her smile is genuine. She knows that she has so many people to rely on during the hard times.

"I couldn't get a successful love life," she says. "So I'm going to make sure that my sister does."

"I'll help." He says as he pulls her into his arms for a warm hug.

Jeremiah might not be here but at least Alex has J'onn as such a strong father figure who looks after her and her sister. She's just relieved.
