As soon as she noticed the way this new one's eyes changed from shock to that narrowed appraisal as she looked her over Maggie's head immediately dropped in a scolded puppy. She did risk peeking up once after hearing what had to be Lena trying to pass off a not to innocent 'whipped' sound as a cough when Alex's tisked sidestepped pass immediately had Maggie first passing off her gear bag to an understanding Vaz then pivoting around to follow her.
"Grow up Luthor." The new Alex hissed when without even needing to look back to be sure the red-haired woman's hand closed around Maggie's wrist then slid down so the pair were actually holding hands without breaking stride as they made their way out of the hub. A move that was so like the Alex they knew it had the other three doing a serious double-take
"I'm—uh-" the Kara in the supersite stammered gesturing over to the retreating pair while Tessa's amused smile only grew even smugger the more flushed the hero's face and neck became under her gaze. "No one's stopping you." she shrugged flashing another not so innocent smile that had both versions of Kara's hearts skipping a beat.
"Maybe if you'd stop with the undressing her with your eyes look, she could actually think for longer than a few seconds." Her wife suggested bringing a bashful grin to the emerald-eyed woman's face. "Just checking something." She waved off
"Honey she is basically another version of me." Kar reminds. "You don't need to keep checking if she likes you. She does."
"I mean yeah. Lena and I are best friends." Kara agrees once she was freed from the hypnotizing eyes of yet another Lena Luthor. "I mean we were." she amended with a sad edge to her once cheerful tone.
"Aaww 'best friends'." Tessa cooed catching her wife's eye with a mischievous grin on her lips "I don't think I've had to use the 'besties' term with you since ohh when was it?"
Now is was Kar's turn to turn a few darker shades of pink knowing she wouldn't be able to worm her way out of this one without giving up the answer, "That time Sara and Ava locked us in the closet for 'seven minutes in heaven'."
"Oh yeah. The summer before Mags moved into our lives." Tessa smiled
"Hey. We going to skip down memory lane some more or are we gonna go kick some Malvern ass already?" Susan huffed but her amused smiled completely contradictory to her hardened composure.
"Honey do me a favor and call to come talk some manners into her girlfriend please." Tessa sighs her arms crossed against her front drawing the more superpowered Kara's eyes when the move shows off the bracelet the CEO was proud to show off.
"Hey, leave Luc out of this." Vaz huffs
"And on that note." Kar sighs sharing an exasperated eye-roll with her twin. "I'm going to go see where your sister ended up taking my sister in law."
The group with Supergirl in the lead follows the grumpy sounds of muttered curses and heavy sighs to her sister's lab rather than to the med wing.
"Dang it she's awake." Kar whispers under her breath.
"Be nice." Tessa says just as softly although Kara can't decide who she was telling that to at the moment as the reached the glass wall between the hallway and the makeshift med bay Alex had made of her lab.
'DEO Maggie' as Kara had taken to calling her was already all taken care of and propped up on one side now mostly stripped out of her DEO issue combat gear a while she pressed an ice pack against her shoulder with her unbandaged hand while the other was wrapped up much like Kar's was.
To anyone who wasn't as familiar with the Latina cop would think she was asleep with her eyes closed the way they were but the group outside the window knew better. The set of her shoulders was far to tense even as she twirled the stick of a lollypop between her lips as she like them listen to Kelly's winced grumblings as she lets her girlfriend tend to the cuts over her eye and across her hands.
"Come on Kels I'm almost done." Kara heard her sister promise
"Am I good to go Doc?"
Her tone was just a few notes shy of being genuinely playful as the double of her wife looks back at her over her shoulder eyes narrowed in thought. "That depends. You still going to walk out of here regardless of what I say?"
Maggie grins pulling the sucker out her mouth with a soft pop before she answers. "Thought that was obvious but I might feel a little bad about it if you want me to stay." She confesses already kicking her legs over the side to sit up.
Kelly's eyes roll as she kicks her legs up with only the smallest amount of difficulty so she could lay down properly while Alex was distracted. "Then by all means go." She grumbled under her breath.
"What are you going to do once you leave here?" Alex asks her voice even but the worry clear in her eyes.
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Maggie scoffed as she accepted the steadying arm Vaz offered. "I'm going to track down the ass hat that tried to take you away from me again."
"Hey," Kar called out already reclaiming Maggie's empty seat behind the human double of her sister as the three head back toward the hallway. "Jess wanted me to pass something along."
Maggie looked back just in time to catch the small black ring box her sister in law tossed at her head.
"I already said I didn't want-" the DEO commander reminded although her grip on the box was white-knuckled.
"Just because you don't want it doesn't mean it stopped being yours, Sawyer." Kar reminded almost as if she was parroting someone else's words. "Just take it alright. As a backup plan?"
About a hundred questions erupted in her head as Alex watches Maggie's eyes drop to the little black box in her hand.
"Fine." The double of her ex sighs stowing the thing in a velcroid pocket of her pants.
