"For a prompt, I could really use a Sanvers fix-it. Maggie runs into Sentinel during a battle and of course she knows it's Alex. They talk/reconnect and then once they'ee officially dating again or on a one month anniversary , Maggie gifts Alex with a mask, like the one Arrow wears, because that blue eyeshadow isn't a great disguise." ~ someone on AO3.
now, I am putting this in 2 parts. this is part 1
I knew as soon as I saw you
Alex hopped off her bike as soon as Supergirl landed, "Ah damnit. Draw again," the Kryptonian muttered as she flipped her hair out her way. Alex smirked and tapped her bike in a smug way. Supergirl rolled her eyes and playfully bashed Alex's shoulder with her own; Alex winced and grabbed her shoulder when Supergirl walked by. She did that on purpose. "So, have you heard from Kelly?" Kara asked as they walked into the building.
Alex didn't looked at her sister. "Erm, not since I last heard from her. Which was two weeks ago," she replied nonchalantly. Supergirl nodded slowly.
"So you haven't heard anything from your girlfriend since a text that said 'I have to go home for a bit' and you are still hoping she is going to text you," Kara replied with her eyebrow raised. Alex clenched her jaw and walked a bit faster.
"I am not hopingshe is going to text me," Alex said in a matter of fact. Kara nodded and went 'mmm'.
"So, if I grabbed your phone now and unlocked it, it won't open up on WhatsApp on Kelly?" Kara asked knowingly. Alex didn't reply and instead walked away from her Kryptonian sister. Kara chuckled and caught up with her.
The recon didn't do much. All it did was tell the two girls that their assailant loved Big Belly Burger and Vodka ("that doesn't mean they are Russian Kara!") and they either were married or used to be. "How did it go Agent Danvers?" J'onn asked as they walked into the DEO.
"We found out our guy is-" Kara was interrupted by a tired Alex.
"Kara, don't even finish that sentence." Kara piped down and started to fiddle with her fingers. "Thank you. Apart from the fact our guy loves take out and booze, nothing. He wasn't in," Alex answered. J'onn looked pissed as he turned back to the controls.
Kara lifted her head off and zoomed out the balcony, almost making Alex fall over if J'onn hadn't of caught her. "What was that for?" she asked in almost a sigh, she really wasn't in a good mood.
"Robbery downtown," called an Agent. Alex nodded and then headed off to see it. Maybe get some action in as well.
When she got there (clad in her suit), Alex saw her sister getting a beat down. Alex's eyes went wide and she rushed over, forming an electronic baton in her hand and whacking them with it. They went flying by the sheer force Alex hit them with. Alex kneeled down by Kara. "What happened? You getting beat by humans now?" she joked weakly.
Kara chuckled horsely. "Yeah when they have Kryptonite," Alex moved her hair out her eyes. Alex felt like somebody was staring at her and lifted her head up to see a tanned woman in jeans and a tank and jacket staring at her with wide eyes. Alex quickly evaded her eyes and helped Kara up.
"Come on space puppy," Alex hefted her up. "Let's get you to the DEO,"
While it was happening, there was one woman who was helping everyone get up and escape. "Ah," yelled a woman (over loads of yelling) and the certain woman helped her up and pushed her to the way she needed to go.
"Go, quick- quick— get out!" she yelled over the noise. She turned to the left and caught sight of the man flying to the side and a woman in blue with a blue hood turning back around to kneel next to Kara— Supergirl! She reminded herself. She stopped moving and stared at the woman in blue; her eyes covered in blue paint.
The woman lifted her head up and their eyes met. She knew who this was. Even from a distance, she knew who this blue clad woman was simply by looking into the eyes of the love of her life. Deep down she knew. Quickly, the woman in blue tore her eyes away and helped Supergirl off the ground.
"Alex," she murmured. It was like seeing a ghost.
At the DEO, Alex was sat in the chair as Kara slept under the sun lamps. It couldn't have been. Right? She has been gone for around two or three years so why now? Why National City?
"Earth to Agent Danvers!" Alex startled and stared at J'onn. "Are you okay Alex?"
Alex nodded but didn't say anything. "Liar," murmured a quiet voice. They turned and saw Kara waking up. "I know who you saw. I heard her and I heard her heartbeat," she added.
Alex groaned and let her head fall backwards. "Who?"
"Maggie," both sisters said at the same time.
"Ah," J'onn said. "I shall leave you to it then. Glad you're okay Kara," he then walked out.
"Why is Maggie in National City?" Alex asked as soon as the Martian left. Kara shrugged.
"I don't know!" she exclaimed with a confused look on her face. Kara waited a minute before adding. "Want me to find out?" Alex stared at her hands for a moment. Did she want her sister to spy on her ex-fiancé? Was that weird? Controlling perhaps?
"No- yes. Yes," Alex said. Kara went to run off when Alex grabbed her arm with a panicked look. "Actually no! Don't!" Kara chuckled and stopped going to walk. Alex let go of her arm and groaned; her head banging on the lab counter.
Kara laughed and patted Alex's shoulder before walking out. Alex groaned again and rested her clasped hands on the back of her neck.
Maggie walked into the precinct and met with the chief of the department. "Ah, Detective Sawyer!" he greeted, shaking her hand. She shook it back and let out a smile; her dimples showing proudly.
"Chief Frank, thank you for thinking of me in your scouring for a detective. I hope I can help," she said with a smile. Richard smiled back and they let go.
"Yes, well, you have quite the reputation around here Detective Sawyer. I have heard amazing stories of your partnership with Alex Danvers, was it? The FBI agent if the stories are true," Maggie's smile faltered a little and she let out a hesitant smile.
Truth be told, she missed Alex. She missed having someone to talk to. She missed having someone to confide in, to laugh with. Most of all, she loved the feeling of solving a case with her and going into battle with her — like when they were against the Daxamites or when Maggie helped her find her dad. The thing about Alex herself that she missed was how it felt to kiss her and hug her.
All in all, she missed everything that came with Alexandra Caroline Danvers. Even the family and friends.
"Yes," Maggie said suddenly, remembering that she was at NCPD precinct with her boss for the time being. "Erm, Special Agent Alex Danvers. That- that was her name," she stuttered. Richard raised an eyebrow at her stuttering.
"God, did you guys date or something?" he asked jokingly. Maggie turned red and shoved her hands in her pocket. "You did! Is that why you moved away," he motioned for her to walk and talk.
"Erm, kind of yeah. We- well she broke up and I didn't exactly want to stay here but Gordon sent me an email asking if I wanted to transfer to Gotham PD. I thought it was a great chance," Maggie said truthfully. Richard nodded and opened his door for her to walk through.
On his desk sat a badge and a gun with two amo clips and paper work. "Right. Here is your badge you'll use for however long we need you. Your gun, amo, and this is the paper you need to sign for your gun to be legal. Here y'are," he muttered offhandedly.
Maggie signed it before clipping her badge to her black jeans and tucking her gun into the waistband of her jeans. "When is my first shift?" she asked as she looked at him again.
Richard scratched his head and thought, "Uh. Thursday at 7am to 3pm. We'll start you at an 8 hour shift so you can get reused to all ying and yang here. I will have one of the other detective's hand you all of our research tomorrow so you can get up to date,"
After Maggie left, she headed over to the dive bar. It had been ages since she had been in there and she wanted the memories back. Just not those memories.
As she got to the entrance, she spotted a familiar black bike parked in the shadows. The same one Alex rode the first time they went to the bar.
Taking a deep breath, she hopes to all gods on earth (including Kara's god, Rao) that Alex (or any of the Superfriends) would see her. All she wanted was a few drinks in the best bar she had been too. Catch up with a few folks.
Once she got inside, Maggie saw that they were sat at their usual place in the bar and that Brainy was walking away to no doubt order drinks. Maggie found that she couldn't take her eyes off of the back of someone's head. She knew it was Alex. How could she not?
Alex started to laugh at something Kara said. Her head went back and she took another sip of her beer only for James to say something else and Alex began to choke on her drink. The raven haired CEO slapped her on the back and Maggie watched, envious, as their faces lit up.
She missed them all.
"Hey!" fingers snapped in front of her face and Maggie was brought back to a bartender snapping her fingers. "Yes, hello. God, are you drunk already?"
Maggie glared at her. "No. I would like a double scotch," she said bitterly. She shoved the memories out harshly and waited impatiently for her drink.
"Thanks James. Thanks for almost killing me," Alex muttered as she stopped choking. Kara and Lena were laughing while Brainy looked concerned for Agent Danvers. James was holding in a laugh he oh so badly wanted to let out.
"Please. You were never going to die Alex," Kara passed it off with a wave of her hand. Alex rolled her eyes with a murmur of how she loved the love she was getting and how Kara was a great sister. "I'm your only sister," Kara chuckled.
Alex shrugged. "Eh. Lena would be my sister if one of you got your women balls checked and proposed," this time Kara turned red and spat her drink out while Lena simply spat hers out back in her bottle again as the liquid was halfway to her lips. "What? Wow you two a perfect match," she grumbled depressingly.
Kara's eyes snapped over to the far end of the bar and her drink stopped halfway to her mouth. The club sofa almost falling out her glass as the straw fluttered to the table pathetically. Her eyebrows were furrowed and by the change in her glasses she could tell she was listening.
Alex turned around just as the door shut to the bar but her sisters random behaviour was temporarily forgotten about as her phone chimed. She quickly grabbed for it as the chime was the alert she put on the SuperFriends contacts.
It was Kelly!
She turned her phone on the saw the notific— oh, it was J'onn. Kara watched her sisters face drop drastically when she read the message and she slowly put her phone down with a downcast look on her face. Kara sent her an encouraging smile but it fell short.
Maggie felt someone stare at her and she looked up to see Kara's blue eyes bore into her. They had a staring contest for what seemed like ages until Maggie quickly finished her drink and walked out the bar. She only caught a glimpse of the girl of her dreams turning over before the metal door slammed shut; leaving her alone outside.
To make matters worse, it started to rain. "Oh come on!" she muttered angrily. She kicked the wall and groaned in pain. The door opened and Maggie quickly turned around to find Kara. "Maggie. It is you," she said excitedly. Maggie's eyes were wide. She knew that she would eventually have to talk to Kara when she was Supergirl it if they crossed at a crime scene when Kara was a reporter but she didn't expect it to be this soon.
"Yeah, hey L- little Danvers. Alex it's the following you out is she?" Maggie asked nervously. She couldn't speak to both Danvers girls on her first day being back in National City. No way.
Kara shook her head and looked a little sheepish. "I told her I was going to the little Aliens room," Maggie let out an amused huff before slowly walking back to her bike.
"Look, I gotta go. See 'ya around Lil'Danvers," Maggie said before she got on her bike and drove off.
Kara watched in silence. Sadness loomed over her as she realised Maggie didn't want to talk to Alex ( At least not yet ) or her for that matter. "Yeah," she whispered. "Bye,"
Part 2 soon, hope you like it.
