Going on almost full week.
Six days to be exact. Six days of worrying. Of waiting. Of fearing the worst.
Six days of waking up to twin lumps of fur pressed against her front and her back instead of getting to wake to the steely soft arms of the alien that had stolen her heart.
The last time she'd been this worked up about Alex's safety it was the time her hero of a wife had been nearly killed by that burly world killer Mon-El a few years back. Rao was a jerk he'd been.
Trying to force Alex into marrying him while she was already dating and self-admitted 'madly in love with' Maggie.
Maggie slowed to a stop unable to keep running as the broken body of the woman she loved forced their way into her mind before she could stop them. Her heart already throwing itself against her ribs picked up the pace a new at the memories.
He'd thought he'd had some actual binding claim on Alex's heart just because of some dumb betrothal law from a dead and gone distant planet. It didn't matter that the two supers ended up being cousins however distant in their family trees voiding the hypothetical clime but didn't stop him from trying to force himself into Alex's life.
Needless to say, it had been oh so satisfying watching Alex set him straight one last time.
At least then Alex was there. Broken, unconscious and close to death or at the very least until the last time nursing broken bones, yes but at least she was there.
She was at least around to let Maggie hold her hand. So, Maggie could cry and yell at her unconscious body as Alex had been recuperating in the med wing.
Almost a full week she'd been trying to find any trace of where her wife had been sent to or at the very least how she'd been sent to wherever it was she went.
Rao, she missed her wife and not just in the bedroom. She missed Alex's giddiness when she was tinkering with something or other in her workshop or the cute faces she'd make when she was puzzling over some new specimen in her lab.
The way she'd giggle to herself or humming some lovely sounding alien lullaby to herself as she tried her hardest to cook something without setting off the fire alarms or using her powers to speed up the process. The sound of her rocking out in the shower whilst using the shower head as a microphone.
Just being able to come home to maybe getting to see her gorgeous wife laid out on the sofa surrounded by their twin fur daughters for some much-needed cuddle time instead of her needing to fly off to save the day or in some cases the night from some new threat.
Maggie's hand drifted to the chain around her neck. She needed to find Alex. She needed to tell her to show her that she'd found them. She had put an end to that stupid fight they'd had in their well at least in her half-asleep state.
She'd found the perfect solution now she just needs to find her perfect woman.
"Mags?"
Maggie stayed hunched over her hands now braced against her knees as the speaker jogged closer. Unfortunately for Maggie, her guards were friendly enough to let the intruder crashing her spiraling thoughts closer. Dam Kara for softening them up. If only Alex's older sister wasn't so in love with the CEO. Maggie would need to have a talk with her second in command later.
"Lena." Maggie greets plastering a smile on her lips as she straightens up.
"Any news?" Lena asks softly as she holds out her own water bottle in offering when Maggie remembered her own had been left at home given how hurried she'd been to get out of her too quiet apartment. Maggie takes it trying to keep her hands from shaking. Of course, her sister in law would want to know updates. Unfortunately, she had none to give.
"Oh, Maggie," Lena whispers at her shaking head pulling a barely holding on Maggie in for a tight hug while the twin shepherd mixes at her sides circle them with duel sympathetic whines.
"I also guess that's why Kar hasn't been home the last few days." The billionaire muses "She hasn't been returning my calls."
"I've tried to get her to go home but you know the Danvers sisters. Those three are too stubborn for their own good." Maggie sighs as she kneels to give both her 'fur daughter's' a drink before returning the bottle to its original carrier.
Lena finished off the last of the liquid before tossing the empty bottle into a nearby trash can. "How about we get something stronger instead? Or do you girls want to run some more?"
Instead of answering herself Maggie's eyes dropped to the two other women standing beside them. "What do you think girls? Wanna get a drink with Auntie Lena?"
Gertrude dropped into a play stance while the calmer of the two Belle pressed herself closer against Maggie's side nudging her hand with a soft whimper.
"Seems we're tied up." Maggie sighed scratching her eldest 'daughter' behind her ear affectionately. Alex's spoiled baby Gurty was buzzy jumping up at her Auntie Lena wanting to play.
Lena nodes in agreement doing nothing to curb Gurty's eagerness. "How about a compromise. We go visit 'Auntie Kar' and 'Uncle Winn' at work. You can see if there's anything new and I can finally have some kind of contact with my allusive wife before Lin's fight comes in."
After letting out a slow breath Maggie agrees. "Okay, Alright. Let's go."
"What?!" Winn whispers the half-chewed Twizzler almost falling out of his mouth as he leans in closer to the screen when his computer gave a faint pinging sound again. "Holy Rao." He gaped twinging the chair around so he could sit down his fingers flying over the computer keys as he leans in closer to the screen unsure but curious. "Come on baby give Daddy a hit. Give us something, please." He coaxes as he types his leg bouncing in anticipation as his eyes scan around the rest of the control room just to be sure no one else was around in case it turned out to be another dead end.
The back of his head still stung after his last false alarm. The bosses really had a deadly backhand.
The place was for once quiet despite the week of nonstop action given the noticeable absence of the cities favored black and blue clade hero.
Luckily for Alex her 'real person job' boss was aware of her other 'super' important job and had immediately granted sick leave as soon as the blue fluff ball had somehow just vanished in the middle of a brawl in the downtown area along with the cities favored hero.
Lena was considerate like that, yet Winn and the rest of the DEO suspected it was more Kate's doing since she was really Alex's boss over at L-Corp.
"Hot Schott."
Winn sat up a little straighter in his chair at the call but relaxes considerably as he swung around.
Luckily for him, it was the third of the Danvers sisters skipping toward him instead of his intimidating boss and Maggie's second in command at the DEO.
"Snowbird." He greets as his girlfriend drops into his lap with a grin. "I got an earlier flight in." she admitted snuggling against his chest.
"Well good cause I may have found a way to track your favorite hero." Winn smiles between traded kisses with his favorite of the Danvers sisters.
"Wonder Woman?" Linda jokes meeting his eyes with a wickedly playful smile on her lips.
Winn lets out a slow breath as he corrects "Second favorite superhero?"
"Wynonna Earp?" Linda laughs pressing a slow trail of rewarding kissing along the exposed skin of her boyfriend's throat
