Author's notes: Thanks for the continued support everyone! I'm sorry I've been absent for a little while, been having a bit of writer's block... I think I'm back on it now though so please enjoy the next instalment of Ice ice baby... ! :D


After a brief stop off at Alex's apartment to pick up her agency credentials, they rode to the DEO on Alex's Ducati. Maggie was perched behind her with her arms sitting comfortably around Alex's waist. The agent enjoyed the feel of the woman behind her. Even the seriousness of what they were doing couldn't detract from the fact that the detective's arms wrapped around her made her skin tingle in a very pleasant way.

Behind her, Maggie tightened her grip as Alex took a sharp corner. She leaned in slightly and inhaled deeply, smelling her shampoo on Alex's hair and the scent that was all her own. She smiled, remembering again how it had felt to have Alex between her thighs… She clenched them around the bike a little harder, before trying to resume her concentration on the road ahead.

Fifteen minutes later saw Alex parking her bike in the underground car park and unzipping her leather jacket. She turned to Maggie and stretched out a hand.

"Come on, we'll need to get you signed in"

Maggie grasped the hand gratefully and let herself be pulled along to a lift on one wall, she watched as Alex swiped her card and pressed a few digits on the key pad. The door opened silently and they walked into the steel box.

Alex pressed a button, the doors slid shut and Maggie felt the lift begin to rise. She briefly glanced around, noting the small, discrete camera in one corner of the ceiling along with a number of suspicious looking vents in the walls. Did the DEO's security extend to gassing unwanted visitors who entered this way? She shivered a little and gripped Alex's hand a little tighter. Alex turned to her and gave an encouraging smile. Maggie responded with a forced smile of her own, but she was nervous and she was sure Alex could tell. This would be the first time she had been to DEO's headquarters and she was unsure of what she might find…

The lift came to a smooth halt and Alex was soon pulling Maggie out and into a brightly lit corridor leading to an open plan foyer. Maggie noticed a number of agents walking around purposefully, but each of them had time to nod respectfully to Alex who smiled in return as they passed. Alex picked up the pace and Maggie matched her, felling a little more confident the further they went into the hidden depths of the DEO. They paused at the desk of an agent in the foyer and the man stood up and briefly saluted Alex.

"Agent Danvers, welcome back, and Detective Sawyer I assume?"

Maggie nodded as Alex spoke "Yes. Thank you Agent Boswell, it's good to be back" She gave him a small smile.

"Director Henshaw is expecting you both. Detective Sawyer I need you to read this, and sign here, here and here, and thumbprint here please" He handed Maggie a think wad of papers after pointing to each page requiring her mark.

Her eyebrows rose slightly at the number of pages, she glanced to Alex who nodded apologetically, and accepted a pen off Boswell. She sighed and signed the required pages without reading them in detail. She trusted Alex and knew she wouldn't get any further into the DEO unless she followed protocol (and she wasn't entirely sure that they would let her out again if she didn't either…)

After pressing a freshly inked thumb to the last page under her signature, she handed the papers back to the agent with a smile and accepted a tissue to wipe the excess ink off. She looked down as Alex clasped her hand and tugged her gently forwards, a broad smile on her face as she introduced her lover to her DEO world. Maggie followed; her smile quirking up on one side as she let herself be pulled forwards by the other woman.

Alex swiftly led Maggie into the nerve centre of the DEO, where Hank and Winn were waiting at the central operations table.

"Hello." Hank stated and offered his hand out to the detective who shook it firmly. "I'm director Henshaw, we spoke over the coms system once." He stated it succinctly and Maggie could tell he was a man of few words.

"Yea I remember" Maggie smiled at the serious man in front of her before turning her attention to the almost bubbly man beside the director.

"And I'm Winn, the tech genius of this establishment!" He waved one arm around a little flamboyantly before lowering it after a stern glare from Hank. "What the director meant to say in his introduction was welcome to our top secret facility!"

"Yes… that" Hank answered, glancing sideways at Winn, "And please note Detective Sawyer you have now signed our NDA; I'm sure I don't have to explain the repercussions of breaking it… But please be forewarned; you won't just be arrested for disclosing any information relating to the DEO, you will completely disappear…" With the end of his statement, Hank met Maggie's gaze firmly, his eyes seeming to burn right through her as he emphasized his point. He held it for a few seconds before turning around to speak to a passing agent.

Maggie turned to Alex, a slight look of incredulity on her face, thinking that maybe Hank was exaggerating, but she gulped a little when she saw Alex nodding in agreement with the director's words.

"Sorry babe… "Alex whispered, shrugging slightly "You did sign it…" She squeezed Maggie's hand to reassure her "You'll be alright"

A few seconds later Maggie was saved from any further intense conversations with Hank by the whirlwind that was Supergirl flying in and landing a few steps away. She took a step back as Alex ran forwards to greet the super woman, feeling a twinge of jealousy as she saw how excited Supergirl looked to see the agent and vice versa.

"Alex!" Supergirl hugged the woman tightly "I couldn't get hold of you! I had to go without you; there wasn't time to wait… I'm sorry…"

Alex hugged her back. "It's OK, did you find the alien? Are you OK?"

"Oh I found him alright…" Kara lifted up her arm to show a long gash down the side of her suit, her Kryptonian biology having saved her from an injury which would have killed most humans.

A sudden gasp drew everyone's attention to the side where Winn had leapt to his feet in a panic. He ran over to Supergirl, his hands going to the rip at her side as he asked "What did you do to my suit?!"

Kara chuckled, "I'm fine though Winn, thanks for asking"

"Well of course you're fine! You're Kryptonian! But my poor suit isn't…" He sighed as he realised the suit may well be beyond recovery. "OK strip… Wait… I mean… I need to fix your suit so you can't be in it…" He started babbling, and then sighed "Just get it to me as soon as you can?"

"Of course!" Supergirl replied, laying a hand on Winn's shoulder.

"What happened out there Supergirl?" Hank asked her. He stepped forwards as Winn retreated.

"I'm sorry Director but he escaped again… I got distracted saving a family from a car he launched at them, and when I turned around he was just… gone…" Supergirl sighed and looked down at her feet, disappointed in herself.

"Don't worry, we'll catch him" Hank reassured her before turning away to talk with a seated agent about tracking options.

Supergirl turned back to Alex and attempted to take a few steps forwards but stumbled instead, the only thing preventing her from hitting the ground were Alex's quick arms catching her.

"Supergirl?!" Alex cried out, everyone in the office turning at her cry.

"I'm OK, I'm OK…" Supergirl tried to reassure her sister, as well as the entire DEO within earshot "The fight just took more out of me than I thought; I just need to sit under the sun lamps for a little while…"

"OK let's get you into the medical bay" Alex replied, not trying to hide the worry in her voice as she half carried her sister through to the next room.

Maggie stayed where she was, slightly shocked that there was something out there that could, if not physically injure Supergirl, could significantly weaken her…

"Don't worry, she'll be fine after a little R&R, Alex will take care of her." Winn tried to reassure Maggie before clapping her on the shoulder and heading back to his terminal. Maggie was left standing in the centre of operations in her own little private bubble as agents rushed around her, not knowing quite what to do…

But that twinge of jealousy was growing stronger however, as she watched Alex fuss over the cute alien in the other room…
