This is just what Alex needs as she pulls up to a crime scene. Just when she was hoping she wouldn't have to face her so soon after the break up, there she is looking as perfect and amazingly beautiful as the first day Alex had seen her messing with her crime scene. She wouldn't admit to anyone (except to Kara) that the break up still affected her.
Even though she's a complete badass and the agents at the DEO are terrified of her. They respect her completely and she wasn't about to let them see that this whole situation was absolutely destroying her, she couldn't risk it ruining her "Intimidating" image at work. She takes a deep breath, mustering all the courage she had left and gets out of the vehicle.
"What do you got Vasquez?" Alex says as she gets near to her, but as soon as Alex speaks Maggie is taken aback, she wasn't expecting her to be here, at this crime scene. She wasn't expecting anyone from the DEO to be there because it's just a normal human homicide, but here they are.
"Our victim is Jake Solis, 22, single gunshot to the head. Witness statements say that Jake here was arguing with another person." Maggie is watching from the side, listening to their conversation, wondering how Vasquez got that information so quickly after arriving just before Alex. "Most of the witnesses describe the other person as male, short blonde hair, about 5 '8", last seen wearing a black hoodie with some kind of sports logo and dark jeans."
Alex catches Maggie out of the corner of her eye just watching her. She wants to say something so badly but knows that this isn't the time nor the place. She finishes listening to what Vasquez has to say about the victim and then gives out orders to the DEO agents there, hoping that this will be a quick open and shut case. Feeling terrible for this Jake guy, she really needs this to be open and shut, because she can't take being around Maggie any longer than she has to. It takes everything both of them have to not call out to each other and say their goodbyes like they would've done in the past. Just as Maggie is about to turn around and leave, she hears the familiar sound of Supergirl landing.
Kara looked around as soon as she landed. Alex had texted her and told her to come to the crime scene, for what she had no idea. She immediately saw her sister and started walking, her eyes drift a little to the left side of Alex's head and spots Maggie "Fuck" she thinks to herself. As soon as she reaches Alex, she can already tell that her sister is in pain from having to be around Maggie.
"Director Danvers." Kara says with a nod
"Supergirl, nice of you to finally join us." Alex replies with pleading eyes but not saying anything relevant about Maggie.
Alex knows that she's seen her already so there's no need for her to fill in the blanks because let's be honest it's Kara, she's always been able to pick up on things when it comes to her sister.
"What's up? Your text sounded urgent"
"Yes it is, I'm going to need your help assisting with this case."
"Is there anything else you need my help with?" Kara asked eyeing her sister.
"No, I can handle the other thing." Alex pulls her aside to make sure no one hears what she's going to say next "I need you to use your resources at Catco, to find out if our victim Jake Solis has ties to any of the gangs here in National City, the sooner we find out and find the killer the better." Kara smirked at Alex as if to say that there was more to the story than she's letting on.
"What?"
"Um..nothing, are you sure that's all you needed?"
Alex sighed knowing full well what her sister meant. She knows her sister means well but now is not the time to discuss the one person who is literally still standing ten feet away.
"Yes Supergirl, that is it, if I need anything else I know how to contact you." Kara was surprised at her sister's response, but then again she really shouldn't be surprised considering where they were.
"Of course director." And with that she left. Alex knew she was going to have to talk to Kara later but right now she had to focus on this case. It may seem like a normal homicide, but nothing is ever normal in National city. Alex turns around to start walking to the DEO vehicle, she locks eyes with Maggie for a split second, seeing the same look she use to get whenever she took over one of her cases. She continues past her "Not now Maggie!" she states. She's about to get into the van when she hears her following her, Maggie grabs her arm and spins her around.
"What the hell do you mean not now Danvers?" Maggie is fuming at this point, Alex had just basically swooped in out of nowhere and just stole her case. "I mean exactly what I just said, not now Detective Sawyer." Maggie shies away a little bit at the coldness Alex is having towards her but she bounces back.
"You can't just swoop in and steal my case! This a regular homicide and that means it's NCPD jurisdiction not DEO!" she almost yells. Alex looks at her for a moment trying not to think about how hot she looks right now. They've always had a problem with who got jurisdiction on cases and who didn't. Alex gives a little laugh "I can and I just did, I sent papers to your captain this morning. So if you could leave my crime scene so my guys can finish, that would be great."
Before Maggie even has a chance to say anything, Alex was already gone. The only thing that she can do now is go and talk to her captain, because there is no way in hell Alex is going to take this case without a fight from her.
"WHAT THE FUCK SINGH!" Maggie yells as soon as she sees him.
"What is it now Sawyer?" Captain Singh replies not looking up from the pile of papers he was currently looking at on his desk.
"Did Director Danvers send you papers this morning, stating she was taking over my case?" She has to mentally tell herself to breath, she's been so stressed for the past few weeks and this isn't helping.
"Ah yes, as a matter of fact she did. There is nothing that you nor I can do about it, the President even approved it."
"Like hell there isn't, why is she even taking it, it's just a normal homicide there's no need for the DEO to get involved." She's standing in front of his desk this time and he finally looks up at her.
"I don't know why she took the case, I just got orders to let her. But if you want someone to yell at, then I suggest you need to talk to both her and the President. Now will you please get the hell out of my office, I am quite busy."
She stares at him for a long time before deciding that she should probably leave before she gets fired. "Looks like I have a President to call." she says to herself.
