Author Note: Going to change for a chapter (or two don't know yet) to Maggie's POV since Alex is momentarily out of commission.
"What?" I barked into the phone my voice still thick with interrupted sleep. Someone had better be dying for the precinct to be calling me back in after the week I've had and after I'd just gotten to sleep on top of that.
"Detective Sawyer this is an emergency…." a voice I didn't know answered but ended with a lower whispered plea of "Please come in while I can still talk her into Not starting any fires." Before the call dropped sending me flying from the bed in an all-out mad dash for warmer clothes other than my pajamas and my bike keys. Yet when I couldn't find them in my frenzied state I just decided to just flat out run out of my apartment and back to the precinct.
"Where's the fire?" I wheeze as soon as I've forced my way passed the front door almost running smack into a very familiar leather jacket-clad back in my hast to get into the lobby. But no, it couldn't possibly be her. Even when her breath of a laugh at some joke I didn't know about was exactly the same as I doubled over to catch my breath.
For one Alex didn't know that I'd transferred back to Gotham not that I could know that for sure but for another this woman's hair was all wrong for it to really be Her. Too long and wavy even factoring in the weeks since we'd broken up besides my Alex's had much less red highlights.
If that was J'onn or some other shapeshifting alien I was seriously going to punch him and/or them once we had fewer witnesses. No one gets to use Alex against me like this. I miss her enough already all on my own.
I was saved from any more comparisons or spiraling thoughts by a blonde in a very well fitting but freshly battle warn white tactical suite stepping up to me after sharing a look with the possible Alex look alike. "You need to come with us please." She tells me with a seriously appealing commanding air about her.
"What I need is for someone to tell me what the hell is going on." I demand pushing my hormonal feelings down where they belonged. My eyes still fixed on the blonde. No way she was going to kidnap me right in the middle of my own precinct.
"Look either come with us willingly or I'm going to have to toss your sexy ass over my shoulder and carry you back with us kicking and screaming." The Alex want to be announced sending traitors pleasured shivers down my spine when that warm breath tickled against my ear as she stepped up behind me talking just low enough that only the blonde and I could hear her.
"Andra." Blondie groaned motioning for us to follow her back to the double doors.
"What?" 'Andra' Alex whispered making my head spin with the sudden pain in her voice "We are wasting time with this back and forth Sara and you know it." Her hand was already fisted in the sleeve of my jacket pulling me along with them as they argued: "They need us back in National City and even if she won't admit it Alex needs her."
"Would one of you mind telling me what the hell is going on already?" I shout pulling my arm out of Andra's grip nearly burning my arm in the processes and stopping Sara from answering her.
"She's a time-traveling assassin who I'm guessing slept with your girlfriend at some point," the red and brown haired woman beside me stated her eyes locked only on me as she explained whatever this was to me. "I'm said girlfriends doppelganger from another Earth…I think I heard someone calling it Earth X...Sara" she paused motioning to the blonde "and I and the Alex and Kara from your Earth as well as a mix of people from more different Earths just fought in and survived an end of the world battle with the crueler versions of your Kara my sister who we called Overgirl as well as others from my Earth who wanted to take over yours and other Earths under the Fatherland command." Andra summarized in a rush with that distracting hint of Alex's overly sexy growl in her voice that only happens when she's stressed to breaking or barely holding in her anger over one thing or another.
"She's from a world that is what life would have been like if Germany had won the war." Sara clarified when I just blinked trying to take everything in, but Alex wasn't finished in her rant or apparently messing with my need to just pull her in a kiss her already, as her hand closed once again around my wrist keeping me surprisingly grounded as I listened to what they wanted me to believe.
"Ja. Genau." Alex…no Andra nodded then changed back to English as her hand tightened around my pulse point keeping me beside her. "Now you have to come with us because your Alex was hurt and will want to see you when she wakes up from surgery to repair the damage Dark Arrow caused her when he tried to avenge the death of his wife Overgirl."
"Alex and I have been broken up all this time, so I am the last…." I scratch out hating to even remind myself about that painful fact but its Sara that interrupts me this time. "All Alex talked about besides getting her sister back was coming back to you Maggie." She informed me with a too casual looking expression and tone I knew all too well.
Yeah, she and Alex had definitely been together at least once before everything went down.
"Please Mags." Alex's voice pleaded with me bringing me back out of my jealously while also reminding me all too painfully of her asking me to stay over and hold her the night she'd cried into my shirt after the disaster with her Dad.
"One question." I rasp my eyes now trained on the brown I've dreamed about for weeks on end since I'd walked out of her life. "Anything." Alex hiccupped blinking back tears as I let her wind her arms around me seeing as we both needed to be held in some way right now. "Why did Sara say you would start a fire if I didn't come down here on the double when she called earlier?"
"Because I am what is known as a Pyrokinesis." The red-haired woman in my arms admitted honestly her fingers twisting in my hair absently as she confessed this.
"So, you're an Infernian?" I question unable to keep the smile from my lips as she nodded now sliding her arm around my waist as I nodded for Sara to lead the way out of the lobby with the receptionist sitting in spluttering shock behind us. "Talk about meta." I laugh leaning into her side when she pulled me even closer to help block out the chill of the Gotham night air with her warmth. Something I greatly appreciated when the wind picked up again.
"The first time Alex and I met was when an Infernian woman tried to murder the President." I admit when my comment was met with twin eyebrow raised looks as we headed down the street "I'll go with you to National City but if this isn't just some really weird dream from my overworked brain and this does turn out to be just an elaborate kidnapping thing I'm personally kicking both your asses." I tell them earning matching smug laughs from both women as they led me into a dark alleyway always from any watching eyes.
"As feisty as ever it seems." Andra hummed in paradise her hand finding its way into mine as we walked before Sara pulled some disk looking thing from her jacket pocket and opening some kind of portal thing in the middle of the empty side street.
"Shut up fire starting nerd." I groan leaning more into her side than I'd wanted to admit as my earlier fatigue and sleep deprived started to kick in again.
"Love you too Maggie." Andra purred against my ear half supporting half dragging me forward into the swirling gray-blue colored pool Sara had just created.
