'God, Sawyer, where are you?'
It was a thought that had been replaying like a broken record in her head every time they failed to find where those Cadmus monsters had taken her Maggie.
That was another thing that Alex couldn't shake. Even in her own head. Calling Maggie, Hers.
Maggie wasn't hers. Not anymore.
She was with Kate and Alex was with Kelly.
And she was happy that way.
Not as happy as she had been a few days ago wondering that twilight light beach with the woman she'd once thought she'd be spending the rest of her life with of course, but it was something resembling happy when she thinks of Kelly. The more she considers this the more Alex realizes that really no one would be able to compare to her feelings for Maggie.
Maggie was the one. Was her one.
Her first real girlfriend. The first person ever to get Alex to finally be alright with just being herself.
How could any woman compete with that?
Then again Alex reminds herself she hasn't really stopped to give Kelly a real chance to know her like Maggie did.
She couldn't make herself take the risk of being hurt again. Not like that.
'God, Sawyer, where the hell are you?'
Lena tugs on her arm with a pleased smile diverting any other thoughts than 'what the heck?' as she pulls Alex down the hall at a quick pace "Guess who's awake?"
Alex doesn't get to have much time to answer as she's hassled into the med wing.
"Len who?" the agent starts to ask but the question stalls when the CEO pushes her into the recovery room.
The wide smile she'd missed and loved to dearly greets her "Hey you."
"Mags." Alex whispers at the husky greeting.
It was the transfusion iv that makes the overjoyed agent stop her eyes widening when she follows the lines to the arm on the other side of it.
"It's Alex. Hi Alex." Linda's greeting is just as dreamlike as Maggie's. "See told yeah I can help my dude." She reminds with a pleased grin as her hand tightens in Maggie's against the side of the bed.
"Guess we have to wait to see if this means I get to join the supers club." Maggie laughs following Alex's eyes.
"It's amazing really Lin is like a cuter blonde Khan." Jamie gushes huddled together at a computer between Winn and Lena. "Only not as power crazy." Winn defends sharing a smile with Linda.
A shadow at her back has Alex turning.
"She's ready to talk now." Her mother says rather pleased with herself as she steps into the room sliding an arm around Alex's shoulders.
"Mom your hands." She wasn't just talking to her own mother as she spoke but Alura as well spotting the same telltale signs of a fight as the more super-powered mother follows her own from the hall into the crowding private room with Jeremiah Danvers rounding out the numbers again with the same red stains on his hands.
Eliza waves the worry in her daughter's voice off. "It's not mine sweetie."
"We did warn what would happen if any of those Cadmus monsters hurt our family." Alura reminds resting a comforting hand against Maggie's shoulder then turns to press a kiss to Linda's forehead. "We protect our own. She knew this when she chose her side. Saying she was one of us when she was a part of this." Alura gestures to Maggie with a pained look.
Alex's mind reeled.
"Would have gotten more out of her if J'onn hadn't stepped in." Jeremiah sighed bitterly.
Who were they talking about?
Where was Kelly?
"Hey, you."
Maggie.
Maggie. Was back. Maggie was back and Maggie was safe.
Maggie was reaching out to her. "Please?"
How could Alex say no?
"Come on Danvers time to save the day."
Kate's giddy call and the added weight of something landing on her that really gets the sleepy agent's attention forcing her eyes open as she bats away the jacket the cop tossed at her.
"Time to go get our Mags back."
Rory lingers long enough to give the waking agent a wet kiss before bounding off after Kate while Alex tries to sort out what her latest Maggie related dream had meant.
"Give them hell for me." Her father whispers as he pulls her in for a hug while Eliza talks to her more super-powered daughters "bring her home." He adds pulling back to meet his daughter's eyes. "Victory ice cream on me when this is over." he proposes "with extra everything." he winks making her smile and leaning back in for another grounding hug.
