CHAPTER FOURTEEN
A/N While this doesn't strictly follow the path of the episode. I just wanted to put my oath of the episode. i wn spin on it and I hope you enjoy.
ALEX
It is chaos in the DEO. There is a white Martian loose in the building. We are on lock down and I am meant to be on my way to meet Maggie at the concert now. My phone is locked away in my locker so I can't even message her to tell her what's going on. She is going to be so pissed at me I know it.
At least I made peace with Kara which is what I came to do. I still think she is pissed at me for wanting to spend time with Maggie. It's like we are growing apart a bit. I hate that thought because Kara and I have always been so close and shared everything. Then I realise that I am twenty eight years old and I have not got a live outside of work until now. I am the happiest I have ever been and yes that is down to Detective Maggie Sawyer.
Just thinking about her makes me smile. I must look so goofy to others when I just break out. Right now I cannot afford to think about Maggie. I need to concentrate on finding the alien and putting it down for good.
"Agent Danvers status update!" J'onn asks through the ear piece.
"Nothing so far sir. I am just making my way to the hold…" I stop when I see Winn in what looks like a cocoon.
"Sir I have found Winn. He is in corridor 7b but the holding cells. I am continuing my mission!" I say and I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye.
I spin round and come face to face with Winn/White Martian.
"I thought you would never come looking for him!" He snarls at me as I get in a position to attack.
"Well you have under estimated me then haven't you?" I respond. I go to attack but I am suddenly in a vice like grip and he pounces on me.
"Get off me!" I shout trying to get out of his grasp.
It is useless I am wriggling around in the hope that he lets go but he just grips me tighter. I feel myself falling. I couldn't tell you if it was falling onto the ground or falling unconscious. All I know is that everything just went black. Everything disappeared.
My head feels heavy like it's been pushed onto something and is being kept there. I can't move. I try and speak but nothing comes out. I think I'm dead but then I hear Maggie's voice somewhere. It's calling me back.
I remember thinking about Kara, she was sad. I had said something to her. But how could I when I was here? I am so confused. I know I am thinking stuff then it goes blank. It's like memories and thoughts are just disappearing.
I concentrate on Maggie; I know that she is one thing that I know I can think about with ease. I think about how when she smiles her full smile and her dimples show I fall all the more in love with her than I already am. How when I am feeling down she tenderly holds me until I have finished crying. How when I gave her the keys to my apartment there was a new spark in her eyes. Something I had never seen in them before. It was mesmerising. I felt as if I could just look into those beautiful brown orbs forever.
I had loved Maggie from the very first kiss we shared. I don't know why I just kissed her that day but I sure am glad I did because I might not be here in this position now. In a meaningful relationship with someone that adores me whom I adore back.
We haven't actually done much in the physical side of the relationship and I thought that might put Maggie off but she just seems to be taking it in her stride, the few times we have started to do things work has got in the way. Maggie must be as frustrated as I am. I find myself thinking about her kisses and how they light my soul in new ways every time. The way she gently places her hands either side of my face before she reaches up and kisses me is so magical. To me it's like she is making sure that I am real. That I am there.
I love how understanding she is when it does come to anything to do with Kara. How she admitted to me that she knew Kara was Supergirl and how we laughed about it. I don't give her enough praise for how smart she is.
I feel pain in my body. I think I am being beaten by the Martian. I feel some senses start to come back. My eyes flicker open and I see I am in one of the things that Winn is still in. my arms pinned by my side. Again pain shots through me and then as soon as it started it stops. I managed to move my arms enough to get the gun I brought from the other planet. Sweat begins to form as it is so hard to move. I get my finger on the trigger and the cocoon breaks up into pieces and I fall hard onto the floor.
I have to take a minute to let the blood flow to all my limbs before I get Winn down and let him come to at his own pace. I run back to the reactor room where I see the Martian fighting with Kara. Winn enters just after me and I get him to disarm the reactor.
I lock my arms as I move towards the Alien and fire. He goes down. Kara looks over towards me.
"Did I tell anyone how much I love this?" I say cradling the weapon in my hands.
Kara runs towards me and then Winn disarms the reactor with literally 2 seconds to spare.
Kara and I talk; I explain that I could feel she was hurting even though I wasn't there. Kara explains that the Martian psychically connected with me and used my memories to get to her.
I messaged Maggie to tell her what happened. She never replied she just turned up to the DEO instead, the worry evident on her face. I just wanted to hug her so bad. I wanted to tell her that it was her that kept me going. Instead I took her hand smiled at her and then gave her a smile wink.
MAGGIE
I had been waiting by the gates for sges for Danvers to turn up. She didn't so I went in. I left her ticket at the gate waiting. I knew she had stuff to sort out with Kara I only thought it would take half an hour but she had been gone for nearly an hour now.
I hated when she went into work for whatever reason on her day off because then she would be MIA for hours. Something was telling me this was different though. I took my phone out of my pocket and called her up again.
"Hey this is Alex leave a message…" I put the phone down. Straight to answerphone again. That never happens. I then try her DEO issue phone. That just rings out. That is unlike Alex not to answer either of her phones? Has she run again, has she realised that I am not the one for her anymore? I feel bad for even thinking that but it crosses my mind none-the-less.
I feel a headache come on. It's not the usual headache type of pain but it's like Alex is calling out to me. Trying to let me know something. I leave the concert; I know I don't want to be here if Alex isn't. This was all for her because I want to see her smile and be happy.
I return to Alex's apartment hoping that she would be there but she isn't it's empty. I can't help but think that something really bad has happened. I grab my keys off the side and lock up. I make my way over to Catco Magazine headquarters I know that Kara will more than likely be there. I go up to her floor and I spot James. He has his head in a pile of papers looking stressed.
"Hay you know where little Danvers is?" I asked him. He jumps as I speak.
"Err no she went to deal with something a couple of hours ago. Sorry I need to get back to these we print tomorrow you see!" He replied going straight back to his work when he stopped talking.
I leave as I find myself getting more and more worried. I call Alex's phone again. I wait for the beep of the answerphone then speak.
"Hey sweetie, listen I am worried about you. I'm not at the concert now I didn't want to be there without you. I'm going to go back to your apartment and wait for you to call me. Ok. I miss you!" I then put the phone down and went back to Alex's if anything had happened she would at least know where to find me.
I pace up and down the length of the apartment it has been over four hours since she left to go talk to Kara and nothing. Not even a sorry. I need to do something. I need to calm down first. I need to stop thinking the worst. My phone vibrates on the table. I almost fall over the sofa trying to grab it!
Hey Babe. Call me am still in the DEO. A x
I put the phone in my pocket as relief sweeps over me. Relief that Alex is safe and not hurt. Relief that she hasn't run from me. I grab my helmet and make my way out. The last thing I wanted to do was call Alex. I just wanted to see her and old her.
I drove over the speed limit I'm sure but I didn't care I just had to get to the DEO as soon as possible. I think that I got there in record time. I flash my pass at the guard and make my way to the control centre.
Hank directs me to her office. I see her and she looks at me and I see relief wash over her face. I walk up to her. I know no words could ever express how we feel right now. Alex takes my hand and we just stand there in a deep understanding. Knowing what we mean to each other.
A/N OK so a little bit of mush goes a long way. There will be so much more mushiness to come in future chapters. Chapter 17 is the big one for that hehehehehehehehehehehehe anyway much love and respect to everyone who has read and reviewed, you all have a special place in my heart 3
