"I know, I know I should have knocked first but I heard how upset you were and I just….." Kara stammers her hands in the air but slowly picks her way past the splintered remains of the door so she could at least be out of the hallway while being held at alien powered gunpoint. Lucky for them Lex had good taste in picking hideouts. So, they wouldn't need to deal with complaints about Kara's missile-like attack on the front door but that didn't mean someone might not come out just to see what had caused such a commotion so late at night.

"Maggie?" the same voice calls a half-second later. The concern surrounding her name makes the detective's heartache as the tell-tale whoosh of air signals her other protector's arrival.

"Kara!"

Where she not being held at gunpoint Kara would have laughed at seeing essentially herself in such a disheveled state. It really, she was still getting used to being able to see herself from everyone else's perspective. It doesn't look like her twin had even started to wash out the shampoo from her hair and her hastily thrown on clothes were clinging to her wet skin like plastic wrap.

Maggie only redoubled her grip on her borrowed weapon aiming higher right in the center of the 'S' shaped crest when the intruder cleared the doorway. She knew that crest. And that name. "Kara" she thinks Lin said. That triggered a need to protect somewhere deep in Maggie's fractured mind. But protect who? Linda while looking adorable in her disheveled state was more than capable of looking after herself, she didn't need Maggie for that.

Maggie shakes her head her eyes going back on the intruder. She was sure she'd seen that red and yellow symbol emblazoned across the blonde's chest a time or two when she was happy with Alex before everything went wrong. But why had it all gone wrong? Was is because of this crest? Because of this 'Kara' person she was meant to protect?

This crest meant family to someone. But Alex was her family and her Alex wasn't here.

Maggie misses Alex so much it physically hurts. Her heart hurts like it's been ripped away from her and if her head would just stop hurting, she could remember why both the crest and that 'Kara' name were so important to the most important woman in Maggie's life. 'Sorry Rory baby but Alex did get here first.' She giggles to herself only to bring another round of pain in her chest and making the pain in her head flare up worse than before.

Rory was back in Gotham. Safe from the lab-coated doctors that twisted and morphed Maggie's mind like wet clay but that meant her little ray of sunshine was also away from the other source of light in Maggie's life. The two most important women to her and they will never be able to meet.

"D…D—Don't move." Maggie orders trying to hide the shake in her hands as she blinks away the tears from her eyes.

Her head was on fire half screaming to put the gun down while the other was shouting just as loudly for her to pull the trigger.

"I'm a statue." Kara promises hands still raised

"Drop them. To your sides." Maggie orders her voice a lot stronger than before as she gives in to the more docile part of her dueling thoughts.

She didn't want to hurt the blonde in blue, not yet anyway. Not until she turns on them like all aliens do in time.

Yet blue was her Alex's favorite color so an alien in a blue suit couldn't be all bad, could she?

That also looked like what she kind of remembered her Alex's sister looked like. But what was her name?

But no hang on, Alex's sister was already with her. Little Danvers has been the one working so hard in nursing a broken Maggie back to health it didn't make sense to her why this alien was wearing a friendly face when clearly Linda Danvers was standing in the same room as them.

Linda was Alex's only sister. Wasn't she?

Kara slowly lowers her arms even for human standers.

"Mags."

The trembling detective shakes her head "I said don't move alien." Maggie barks when Kara unthinkingly starts taking a step towards her twin who looks ready to collapse in worry as her eyes dart between the gun-wielding fragile minded detective and her sister.

"Maggie look at me." Linda begs again her voice quivering as she tries to hold back actual tears.

Maggie does but only for a few seconds before her eyes slide back to Kara just to check that she hadn't moved. "Supergirl isn't here to hurt us." Linda promises. The level of the gun drops a little.

Supergirl?

The name triggers another deeper buried fragment a ghost of a talk with the woman who so completely stole the detective's heart.

"Because Supergirl's your sister….."

Linda's hand flashes out catching the falling weapon before it could hit the ground or accidentally go off while Kara gathers a sobbing Maggie in her arms.

"Kara. Oh Rao Kara. Kara I'm so sorry….I."

Kara's steely strong arms fold around her cradling her while Maggie clings to the front of her suit. "It's alright Mags." She soothes pressing her cheek into Maggie's hair as she cries. "I know the pants do take some getting used to. It's alright." The super tries to play off bringing a wet hit of a coughed laugh from the head nestled against her shoulder.

"Still warm." Maggie hears Kara diagnose as she lets herself be led over to the couch whilst the other tell-tale whoosh suggests Linda it taking care of the splintered door.

"Da but the fever has been dropping." The sisters discuss as Kara tucks her cape around Maggie's shoulders as the detective curls up with her head resting on Kara's leg. "This is kind of impressive," Maggie adds her fingers just brushing over the blue material under her head.

"Yeah. Got an upgrade of sorts in the suite department since we saw each other last." Kara agrees with her fingers threading in Maggie's hair.

"Nice." Maggie yawned leaning into the touch. Alex would do that after long days. Just the two of them snuggled on the couch watching some doctor show that Alex would always grumble at while she played with Maggie's hair when they'd get something wrong.

"Just rest Maggie." Linda murmurs nodding Kara over toward the table as Maggie gives a sleepy "m'kay."

Kara shakes her head "Go finish your shower. I'll hold the fort."

Linda gives a puzzled look, but Kara shakes her head shooing her twin back toward the bathroom.
