A/N: Sorry for the wait! But this chapter does have more dialogue! And instead of creating a whole story line (I tried) I'm going to do scenes/one-shots of things I would really like to see in this upcoming episode!
Maggie walked into Alex's apartment with Kara trailing behind her. After J'onn had sent them home, they both decided that it would be best to stick together. Even if they didn't admit it, they both felt better when they were together. Kara placed the pizza and pot stickers on the island, as Maggie made her way to Alex's closest. She quickly slipped on a pair of sweats and one of Alex's favorite t-shirts.
Maggie's plan of action was to surround herself with everything Alex: Kara, the apartment, her clothes.
She felt herself start to unravel at the DEO, and did her best to hide it, but the looks that Kara kept giving her told her she wasn't doing a good job. They still didn't have a strong plan of action and that unsettled her tremendously. Time was slowly ticking away, and she didn't even know where to start. Walking back into the kitchen/living room, she found Kara sitting on one of the island stools, back towards her.
Maggie quietly took a seat beside her, focusing on the the little plant that Alex kept on the window sill.
"We're going to have to get that bastard out of jail, aren't we?"
"Yes."
"J'onn's not going to be happy."
"No," Kara breathed, "he's not."
"So we're going rogue?"
At that, Kara turned her head staring deep into Maggie's eyes.
"What other choice do we have?"
Silence took over the room again. They both knew what they had to do to save Alex. Even if it did go against everything they stood for, they would do it for her.
"Do you know why I pushed her away at first?" Maggie asked. Feeling a sadness surround her at the thought of not having Alex in her life.
"Well, at first I thought you were a jerk…"
"Hey!" Maggie laughed. It was the first time she let herself laugh since this thing started.
"But then," Kara said, while bumping shoulders with Maggie, "I realized that you were just scared; that you were certain she was going to reject you."
"You're good, Little Danvers." Maggie sighed, deciding to take a chance, and open a piece of herself up to Kara, "My, uh, parents kicked me out when they found out I was gay. Ever since then I've done everything in my power to make sure I never felt anything like that again."
"Maggie," Kara whispered getting her attention, "I know we probably haven't told you this directly but you are our apart of our family now. Whether you like it or not you're going to be stuck with us for a long time."
Kara watched as small smile spread across Maggie's face before she quickly looked down at her hands, Kara simply reached out, taking one, before giving it a tight (light) squeeze.
"I was going to tell her I loved her." Maggie breathed. "And then we had that stupid fight."
"Couples get in fights all the time," Kara said, "Look at me and Mon-El!"
Maggie snorted, "Yea, well that is a whole other prob-" Maggie cut herself off when she saw the look on Kara's face, "That's not the point! The point is that I should have told her."
"And you will."
"You can't promise me that."
"No," Kara responded, wrapping an arm around Maggie's shoulders, "But with us fighting for her, we'll get her back."
"Thanks Kara." Maggie said with immense sincerity. Taking comfort in the arm around her.
Kara sat up quickly when she was awoken by the piercing ring of her phone. It took her a moment of scrambling to grab it from the coffee table. Kara was able to convince Maggie to take Alex's bed. Not only would it help the Detective sleep better, but Kara took it upon herself to look after her while Alex was gone, it was the least she could do.
Looking down at the caller id, she was grateful that it was Winn and not the mystery man that took her sister. She brought the phone to her ear, waiting for the Techy to start talking.
"Winn?"
"Huh? Oh! Yea, sorry, okay you and Maggie need to come into the DEO as soon as possible. I got the computer up and running and you need to be here to see this..." Winn said trailing off at the end.
"Okay, will be there in five."
Kara ended the call and got up from her sitting position on the couch. She easily made her way to Alex's bedroom in the dark, Kara looked down at the detective. Kara really didn't want to wake her but she knew Maggie would want to go with her to the DEO.
Kara leaned down, and placed a hand on Maggie's shoulder, "Hey Maggie, wake up."
With a little shake of her hand, Maggie eyes blinked open. She looked dazed for a moment, and then everything came flooding back to the forefront of her mind. Alex. Maggie caught Kara's eyes.
"Winn found something."
Maggie threw the covers back, walking over to the corner of the room to pull on her jeans. She grabbed her gun off the dresser clipping it on her belt. Same with her badge. Kara headed towards the window opening it, Maggie right behind her.
She looked back seeing the dread on Maggie's face. She hated when Kara flew them places.
"It's the quickest way, please Maggie."
Once she got a curt nod, Kara flew herself and Maggie to the DEO, as soon as she landed she kept walking until she got to Winn.
"What is it?"
Winn looked at her a moment, almost preparing her for what was coming. In a couple of clicks he projected the live feed of Alex onto the multiple TVs.
Kara inhaled when she saw her sister in a glass box. Alex was facing the camera, she obviously spotted it, it looked like she was speaking.
"Can you get audio?"
Winn started typing quickly, in seconds her sisters voice flooded the DEO.
"-cannot let yourself be black mailed, Supergirl is bigger than me."
"Alex, no!" Kara screamed even though she knew her sister could not hear her. "Why does she always have to protect me!"
"Because it's all she's known since she was fourteen." Maggie said, trying to mask the fear building inside her.
Kara opened her mouth to defend herself but Maggie cut her off.
"I'm not blaming you, Kara, it's just how it is." Maggie said, "But now it's our turn to protect her, and I'm guessing by that water rising at the rate it is we don't have much time."
Kara looked back at the screen seeing how the water was now at Alex's hips.
"You with me?" Maggie asked.
"Always," Kara whispered, following Maggie to the launch-off window, "let's go save my sister."
A/N: Since I changed it up, I will correct the description of the story, sorry if this disappoints anyone, I just don't have enough information to recreate a story-line. But I do have what I've read, heard, and seen so I'll be doing more chapters! And who knows where this will go, might be another one-shot central! So send me some ideas! I love prompts!
I also set up a tumblr account, not that I have any idea what I'm doing lol, but I'm hoping to set it up so that I can post little snippets of the chapters I have going! Account name is letlivego. I'll post it on my profile as well!
Thanks for reading!
