Author's note: Thank you all so much for the comments, faves and follows! Here's chapter 11 for your enjoyment :D
The next morning Alex woke up in a strange room, dawn light was starting to peek through the curtains and she panicked for a moment, automatically reaching for a gun that wasn't there beside the bed. She stilled for a moment as memories of last night began to filter back, she turned her head to the side and saw Maggie curled up in sleep beside her. She smiled as she watched the Detective's chest rise and fall gently with each breath, Maggie snuggled in closer to Alex and the agent wrapped an arm around the other woman. She nuzzled the Detective's neck, breathing in deep the unmistakeable scent of Maggie Sawyer interlaced with the smell of sex. Alex blushed a little in the early morning light as she remembered the more intimate details of what they had done last night. She smiled, buried her face in her pillow and closed her eyes, content to try and get a little extra sleep before morning truly set in.
A few hours later Alex woke again, but this time to a loud bleeping noise and Maggie groaning beside her.
"Ugh… Stupid alarm…" The detective's hand appeared from underneath the covers to slap absently at her bedside table until she successfully hit the clock and the noise stopped. The hand disappeared again and Maggie wiggled back into her spot as the little spoon, sighing as she felt Alex's warmth behind her.
"This is nice… Sorry about the alarm, I forgot to turn it off last night… Was a little pre-occupied…" Maggie turned so that she was still in Alex's embrace but facing the agent instead, and grinned.
"Maggie last night…" Alex started, but paused when she saw the worried look on Maggie's face, she suddenly realised the way her words might be interpreted as they were and quickly added. "Maggie last night was amazing!"
"Oh thank god… I thought you might have been having second thoughts…" Maggie let out in a relieved sigh. She relaxed back down into Alex's arms and looked up into her eyes.
"Really Maggie… Last night was… I never thought sex could feel like that…"
"Well Danvers" Maggie reached up to tuck a few strands of hair behind Alex's ear "You ain't seen nothing yet…" She smiled again and pulled Alex down for a heated kiss.
When they finally left Maggie's bed over an hour later, Alex was physically exhausted, but mentally she was buzzing. She sat on the side as Maggie gently stroked her back "Why don't you go have a shower whilst I fix us some breakfast?" Maggie suggested.
"That sounds amazing…" Alex turned her head and captured Maggie's lips in a quick kiss. She stood up and stretched her arms up above her head, sighing with relief as her shoulders popped. She giggled as she felt Maggie press kisses all over her bare bum cheeks and wrap her hands around to stroke their way down her abs.
Reluctantly Maggie loosened her grip, allowing Alex to turn around "If you stay there much longer you won't make it to the shower…" The Detective threatened as she bit her lip and gave Alex a gentle push in the right direction.
"Why don't you join me?" Alex asked suggestively, she placed her hands on her hips, her naked self still covered with the glistening sweat of their previous exploits.
"Maybe next time." Maggie chuckled, she stood up and kissed Alex "There are so many things I want to show you, to share with you, and we have all the time in the world." She cradled Alex's cheek in one hand "I'll make a start on breakfast, I don't know about you but I'm starving!" She grinned and gave Alex a light slap on the arse to start her moving which made her squeak and blush.
Alex nodded and headed to the ensuite bathroom adjacent to Maggie's bedroom. Maggie watched her go, smiling as she saw Alex's hips sway from side to side; the agent knew what she was doing and enhanced the swagger as she walked. As she entered the smaller room she turned her head and winked at Maggie before shutting the door, soon enough water could be heard cascading from the powerful showerhead.
Maggie rummaged around for a pair of shorts and a loose t-shirt; she pulled them on without bothering with underwear, and padded barefoot through to the kitchen. Clattering soon emanated from the small galley, quickly followed by spitting fat as the Detective started prepping a fry up.
Neither of them heard Alex's phone buzzing in the bedroom…
Fifteen minutes later a fresh faced Alex wandered through to the kitchen. Her hair had fallen around her face in damp ringlets and she was wearing a clean pair of short shorts she had liberated from one of Maggie's draws. Paired with this was one of the Detective's shirts half buttoned up at the front leaving nothing to the imagination. She stepped up behind the cooking Detective and wrapped her arms around the other woman's stomach.
"That smells amazing!" Her stomach growled, confirming how hungry she was.
"Well it's just about done; can you grab a couple of plates from the cupboard?" Maggie pointed to her left and Alex obliged. Maggie heaped their plates with eggs, bacon, sausage and a small stack of pancakes, laughing at Alex's hungry face as she accepted one of the plates and they made their way over to the sofa to eat.
"Are you wearing my shirt?" Maggie questioned as Alex dug into the food in front of her.
"… Yea…" Alex blushed and gulped down her mouthful of eggs and bacon. "Is that alright? I didn't really bring anything for a sleepover…"
"It's more than fine" Maggie smiled and leaned over to kiss Alex "Have I told you how sexy you are? Especially in my clothes?"
Alex just blushed and ate another mouthful of her delicious breakfast.
"What did you want to do today?" Maggie asked "I'm completely free from work for a couple of days…"
"Is it bad that I just want to stay hidden away in this apartment with you..?" Alex asked quietly "I don't want this moment to end"
"We can do whatever you want, I have a fully stocked fridge, lots of ice-cream and takeout on speed-dial as well as netflix, we could pretty much survive the apocalypse in here!"
They finished their food and Alex curled up next to Maggie on the sofa as she turned on the TV. They flicked through Netflix before settling on a movie they both agreed on watching. Maggie's hand drifted to Alex's back and she traced circles through the checked material, smiling as she felt Alex nuzzle in closer.
Ten minutes into the movie Alex reached for the control and pressed pause.
"You OK babe?" Maggie asked and Alex smiled at the term of endearment before remembering why she had stopped the film.
"I thought I heard something…" She stood up and walked towards the bedroom; she paused and then entered as the buzzing became louder. "It's my phone" she called through, "looks like it's gone to voicemail."
She walked back through holding the device and flopped back onto the sofa.
"Anything important?" Maggie asked.
"I'm not sure…" Alex replied as she scrolled through her notifications. There were 6 missed calls, a voicemail and two texts, one earlier that morning from Kara:
Kara: Hey Alex, hope you're having a good time. Let me know when you're free, we can go get lunch or something, K x
And another from Kara's DEO number (her 'Supergirl' phone) a few minutes ago.
SG: Alex please call me when you get this, we have a situation x
Alex quickly called Supergirl's number and pressed the phone to her ear. Maggie was sitting up now, starting to worry as she saw the look of concern cross Alex's face.
"Shit" Alex swore when her call went through to voicemail. She hung up and pressed the button to check her own messages.
Voicemail: "Alex, I've been trying to get hold of you, are you still with Maggie? You need to come in… bring Maggie with you, Its the Ice alien… He's back…"
Alex shivered a little as she heard Kara's voice mention that particular alien threat. She killed the message and turned back to Maggie.
"What's wrong?" Maggie asked and placed her hand on Alex's, concern on her face.
Alex looked up at the Detective "We need to go" She pulled the other woman to her feet and quickly towards the bedroom to get dressed.
"Where are we going?"
"The DEO..."
