A/N: Barrata - Glad you like it!
Guest - I love the Danvers sisters and it'd be great to see more of Maggie & Kara friendship on the show. I don't like how the show handled that. Thank you for commenting!
Maggie was taking a statement from the witness at the scene where the alien'd attacked. When she focused in on the crowd, she realized someone was lying on the ground as more and more people gathered around them.
Pushing through the crowd her eyes widened when she noticed the red cape.
"What happened?" Maggie asked kneeling down next to the soaked and unconscious Supergirl.
"I think she was shot down into the water." Ona man said. "We pulled her out."
She could hear her heart stop when she noticed that the superhero's chest was still and she couldn't feel her breath against her cheek.
"She's not breathing."
When the crowd was quickly getting bigger Maggie shouted to her partner to get rid of the onlookers as started pressing against the blonde's chest.
"Come on, come on. Breathe."
"Move away, detective."
Maggie ignored them all because Kara still didn't take a breath. O God.
"We'll help her at the DEO. Now, step away Detective Sawyer." Haley ordered.
But Kara was her only focus and Maggie could finally feel herself breathe when the blonde started coughing up water.
"It's okay. You're okay." Maggie comforted as she turned her on her side gently patting her back.
The blonde was still asleep. The effects of the sedative still didn't wear off.
Noticing one of the agents making his way towards the blonde with Kryptonite cuffs she jumped in front of her and exlaimed. "Stay the fuck away from her."
"We're glad for your help detective, but this doesn't consern you." Haley said.
"I don't care. That's how you treat the National City's hero? You shoot her down with a tranquilizer? Where you even going to pull her out of the water?"
"Supergirl's received multiple warnings, and yet she kept interfering with our missions. This ends. Now."
"You are not touching her."
"YOU don't tell me what to do." Haley threatened getting in her face.
"You weren't so brave when the alien was about to kill you. You should thank Supergirl for saving you and your team." Maggie countered not backing down.
They stared at each other for a long minute before Haley finally gave up and ordered to her team.
"Let's wrap this up people!"
"Be sure your captain will be notified of your actions, detective." She added before leaving.
Maggie sighed in relief and went back to the blonde. Patting her cheek she said. "Let's get ya out of here."

"You should really lay down on that potstickers of yours, ya know?" Maggie breathed out as she helped the younger woman up the stairs.
"You were the one who baked the cookies." Kara retorted leaning her head against the door.
"My bad. So where are your keys?"
The blonde patted her pockets. "Shoot." She leaned her head against the door in defeat.
"Picking the lock it is then."
"I don't know why they did that. I was only trying to help." Kara sighed letting the other woman pull a bobby pin out of her hair.
"She's just trying to show that she's superior to you, which she'll never be. But- maybe it's a good idea to lay low for a while."
"I can't let her win." The blonde sighed leaning back on the door.
Maggie knelt down and tried to unlock the door as she continued. "I'm not saying that. I only say that there are different ways to help. For now."
Before Kara could answer the door opened from the inside making the blonde lose her balance, she was only saved by Maggie's quick reflexes.
"Where have you two been? Why didn't you pick up your phones?" Alex asked clearly worried.
"Alex? What are you doing here? You were supposed to be at the conference." Kara asked dumbfounded.
"I saw the news. Why did you interfere with the DEO?" She angrily asked looking at Maggie. "You could've got hurt."
"Your guys shot Supergirl down. Somebody had to help her."
"I know. We had orders to contain her if she interfered again."
"She was the one who defeated the alien. The DEO wouldn't have been able to contain it." Maggie countered.
"Apparently Colonel Haley thought otherwise." Alex said before turning to her sister and noting how pale she was. "Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah, umm, just tired I guess."
"Why were you two breaking into your apartment anyway?" Alex asked sensing they were hiding something.
"Umm, it's just- Snapper told me to cover the case and Maggie happened to be there, so I asked her for a lift." Kara lied. "Oh, and I lost my keys."
Alex looked at her concerned. "You really don't look so good." She reached her hand to feel her sister's forehead with the back of her hand.
"'m fine."
"You should go lay down." Maggie insisted fixing her glare at the blonde.
"Go get changed, Kar. I'll check on you in a minute." Alex added.
As soon as Kara entered her bedroom she could hear the whispered argument.
"You can't take these kind of risks. It's outside of your juristiction." Alex said.
"If it wasn't for me she'd be locked up right now. Assuming they'd have bothered to save her in the first place."
"Haley is not that bad. She wouldn't have left her out there to die." Alex countered.
"Well, it didn't look that way from where I was standing." Maggie argued trying to keep calm. "Take care of your sister. I'll get something to eat."
Before Alex could protest Maggie was gone.
