It was after another round in the ring that they had brought her…well dragged her that is into the butcher shop they called the med wing. The Infernian from earlier was already there laying out on a table by the door making the fresh burns she'd given the beaten down cop sting at the sight of her again even as lifeless as she while Maggie was pushed down into the chair her legs already being strapped down with her arms soon to follow as she enjoys finally having a break from the bloodshed of the ring enough to keep from putting up a fight.
They've been putting her and Caroline through literal hell. What else can they possibly do to her now that would make her talk?
"You know what we're after."
Maggie let her head roll forward dropping her chin against her chest at the voice. "And I've already told you I don't know what your talking about." She reminds them letting out the softest grunt of pain while the medic started peeling away the blackened skin on her shoulder as a needle of some self-healing alien's blood was injected into her arm at the same time making her black out from the pain.
"Dammit, that's what I was afraid of." A grumbled voice says before more voice that Maggie wasn't sure she would ever hear again filled her ears as she clawed her way back from the blackness of unconsciousness. "Maggie wake up." "Come on Sawyer." Kara and J'onn's voices were so clear so close that Maggie almost believed her ex-family had finally found her. "Maggie?" the barely conscious cop felt gentle shaking fingers at the pulse point on her neck.
"God Dammit Sawyer don't you dare give up on me now." The love of her life whispers against her ear half angry and half completely helpless. It was that pain that made Maggie force her eyes open when really all she wanted was go back to the darkness where there was less pain. She really wished these jerks gave anesthesia before they sliced into her this time. They must have gone deeper this time given the lingering pain.
Unfortunately, the sight she woke up to wasn't the one she wanted. "Time to move that sexy ass of yours." Her savior grins pulling Maggie's arm across her shoulders. "We only get one shot at this." Caroline encouraged guiding Maggie to the exit.
Only to be blocked by the no longer dead fire starter to have it morph into a White Martian right before their eyes.
J'onn pulled himself out of Maggie's mind with a gasp returning to the familiar glass walls of the DEO conference room.
"What was that….at the end…." Maggie asks redoubling her hold on Alex's hand in her own grounding herself in the warm of the fingers rubbing calming circles against her hand. "So, after all that we're still no closer to what they wanted from me?" she guesses when no one answers her question leaning her head against Alex's shoulder while J'onn nodes "Your mind was protecting itself it happens to everyone no matter how much consent you consciously give to let me see into your memories." he tells not only Maggie the other three in the room with them.
"How Carline?" Alex asks noticing Ethan lurking by the door.
"Comatose but still stable for now." He answers sitting down in a far chair "Any progress as to what the hell they used?"
Alex shakes her head feeling Maggie shift closer with a low groan in annoyance, but Ethan rolls his eyes before asking "When was the last time you actually ate anything Mags?" he asks getting up.
"Real food? Three days ago, I think." Maggie answers
The tiny cop pounces on two of the three greasy bags her follow cop set on the table ripping into the burger it contained without much thought giving Ethan time to sneak Alex and Winn away leaving Kara and J'onn for company.
It was only after they had put a hallway and a half between them that Alex felt safe enough to speak. "Well?"
"You were right." He states making the other two share a glance as he holds up the last fast food bag, he'd taken from the table on the way out the door. It had been a long shot idea, but it had been a clever one none the less.
"Huh?" Winn asks eagerly accepting the fries Ethan offers him.
"It means that that woman in there isn't the one I am still in love with." Alex admits re-reading the receipt on the bag she was holding. The one from Maggie's favorite vegan burger place in all of National City.
Winn blinks confused as he continues munching on the fries. "But if that's not Maggie then who the heck is it?"
