After a long time holding Alex, neither of them saying a word, J'onn just comforting her, the hug broke apart. Alex wiped her eyes as she looked up at J'onn. "Did you know?" Alex questioned.
"No," J'onn answered. "I thought she was dead. Just like you did." J'onn hated seeing Alex upset. She was like a daughter to him and he wanted to help take away the pain but he had no idea how to.
"How could she do this to me?" Alex questioned. "To Isaac?"
J'onn exhaled as he gave a light shrug. "I don't know," J'onn answered. "But Maggie Sawyer doesn't give up without a fight so I doubt she cooperated very easily with Ty. I'm sure it would have taken her a lot of persuasion to go along with this." J'onn lightly rubbed Alex's arm as he spoke.
Alex looked lost for words as she sat there in a heap on the floor, her head still shaking in disbelief of the event that has just occurred. "I need to go get my son." Alex stood to her feet, looking at her watch as she did so. She was now nearly two hours late to pick him up.
"Isaac is fine," J'onn told her. "I called Eliza and she's picked him up and taken him to hers."
Alex gave J'onn a thankful smile. "You didn't tell her, did you?"
"I just said you were caught up at work," J'onn replied. "This isn't for me to tell," J'onn gave her shoulder a loving squeezing, letting Alex know that J'onn was there for her. "Is there anything you want me to do for you?"
"I need Kara." Alex felt like she was going to cry again. She and Kara still hadn't cleared the air over their argument but right now, Alex needed her little sister. She needed her a lot more than she was mad at her.
"I'll go call her." J'onn said as he stood up, once again, giving Alex's shoulder a comforting squeeze.
"J'onn?" J'onn turned around as he heard his name. "You still haven't brought me that scotch." Alex said and J'onn gave a little grin as he nodded and walked out of the room.
Kara traced her finger over Mike's bare chest. She looked dreamily into his eyes, a big smile of her face. "I've missed this." Kara spoke softly before placing a soft tender kiss on Mike's lips.
"Me too," Mike pulled Kara into him, their naked bodies pressing together. "But we do have the rest of the evening to make up for times missed." Mike gave a cheeky grin as he gently squeezed Kara's bum cheek, clearly wanting to go for another round then probably more.
"Mmm, we sure do." Kara placed another kiss on Mike's lips, this once quickly getting intense as their tongues swirled around each other's. Mike's hand wander up and down Kara's back, caressing her lightly. Kara pulled back as she heard her phone ringing. She glanced to the side before looking back to Mike.
"Ignore it," Mike whispered in her ear before kissing down her jawline and finding her lips again. "See? They've gone." Mike mumbled between kisses.
"No," Kara sighed as her phone immediately started to ring again. She pulled herself away from Mike and sat on the edge of the bed, seeing it was J'onn calling her. "It's J'onn."
"Well it's probably some alien thing," Mike said. "He can call Kal or James." Mike took the phone from her, it still ringing out loudly. Kara exhaled lightly as she turned around in the bed, looking back at Mike as she tilted her head to the side.
"It's not going to stop," Kara said as there as a small break in the ringing, J'onn clearly going to keep calling her until she answered. "Just let me answer and I'll tell him I'm busy." Kara held her hand for Mike to give her her phone back. Mike looked at the phone and then to Kara and then back to the phone. He sighed, sounding annoyed as he gave her back her phone.
"J'onn," Kara answered the phone. Mike saw the look on Kara's face and looked confused as he watched her jump of the bed and look around the room for the clothes he eagerly tore from her earlier that day. "No, I'm not busy. I'm on my way now."
"Kara," Mike sighed as Kara had broken her promise of a day just for the two of them. "You were supposed to say you were busy."
"It's Alex," Kara raised her voice. "I need to go see Alex." Kara didn't give Mike any time to respond. She was already at the window, flying out as Supergirl. She knew she promised Mike that for one day she would just be plain old Kara Danvers but it sounded like Alex really needed her and of course flying was a much quicker way of getting there than the public transport. Mike lay back on the bed as he sighed. If it was for any other reason, he would probably get mad a Kara for breaking her promise to him, but he knew that Kara felt awful about her argument with Alex and he also knew that nothing could come between their bond and he needed to let Kara go see Alex without getting mad.
Kara found Alex waiting in the medical room. She glanced at the bottle of scotch before looking back to her sister. It was hard to see her face, as Alex was looking down, her head in her hands. "Alex, I'm here," Kara said walking closer to her and reaching out to touch her arm. "I'm glad you wanted to talk because it kills me when we aren't getting along," Kara said. "I want you to know that I am so sorry for making it -"
"I don't want to talk to you about that," Alex cut Kara off. "That's forgotten. That's not important right now." Alex took a deep breath as she looked up to her sister. Kara widened her eyes as she saw how upset and hurt and broken her sister looked.
"Alex," Kara spoke in a soft, worried tone. "What is it? What's wrong?" Kara put her hand comfortingly on Alex's shoulder.
"It's Maggie." Alex answered. Her eyes glazed over but Alex wasn't sure if she had anymore tears left in her she'd cried that much over the last couple of hours.
"Alex, I…." Kara paused. "I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be for you, dealing with losing your wife but -"
"She's not dead." Alex spoke louder, drowning Kara's voice out.
"What?" Kara sounded shocked as she looked equally as confused. "What do you mean?"
"She's not dead," Alex said. "She's here. She came here. She's alive and she's not dead and she was here and she's…..she was here. I saw her and I….she's not dead," Alex babbled. "What the hell am I supposed to do, Kara?" Alex questioned. She looked up to her sister with wide eyes. Kara's eyes were equally as wide, clearly in shock at the information and was needed a moment to process it.
"I…." Kara was gobsmacked. She didn't know what to say, so right now, she did the only thing she could do and held her sister and gave her the comfort she was seeking.
Maggie walked into the hotel room where she was currently staying. She exhaled as she took off her leather jacket and hung it over the chair. She walked over to the mini-bar and pulled out all the miniature bottles. There were two whisky's, two gins, and two vodkas. "That is not going to be enough." Maggie muttered as she opened the first gin and downed it in one, her face scrunching at the taste. She wasn't a gin drinker but right now, she needed alcohol to numb the pain. She made quick work of the second gin bottle and wasted no time in moving onto the vodka's. She left the four empty bottles scattered across the floor and she book out a bottle of beer and twisted it open. She picked up the two whisky bottles and walked through to the bathroom, turning on the taps for the bath and putting the plug in the hole. She unscrewed the bubble bath and poured in a very generous amount. She wasn't really a bath person. She only enjoyed them if she was sharing the tub with her wife, but right now, she knew those days would only be distant memories. She began to undress herself as Alex's last words to her kept repeating over and over in her head. 'You wanted to be dead, Maggie, so you go and be dead' The words stung as they kept playing over and over. But she couldn't give up hope. She didn't give up on what she wanted and she'd be dammed if she'd lost Alex and Isaac for good. She took another swig of her beer before slipping her panties off and getting into the bath, turning the taps off. It was a little too hot, but right now Maggie didn't mind the pain from the water burning her legs. It was a welcome relief to the other pain she was feeling. She sat down in the tub and brought her legs up to her chest, her arms wrapping around her legs as she let the tears fall.
