Epiphanies of Heroes: Agents and Knights

It was the first epiphany she had, and even then she hadn't realized the humor of it all or the impact it would leave just by walking into the right crime scene at the wrong time. But it hadn't been wrong, it had felt so….surreal. It had felt as if she was meant to be storming up to that stubborn yet so SO beautifully suited detective. Then they first argued, more or pushed their weight and all over a contamination of evidence. Then their eyes lock and that smirk…

"See ya around Danvers…" Those words, those four simple words. The beginning and...the end. How quickly things had gone from a nosy cop butting in to a game of pool and beers to the agent's WHOLE ideals whole meaning changed. It had taken just one woman to do that. One tough, gorgeous, strong, smart and amazing woman. It had taken one to make it all crash…


"WHOA!" Both women gasped then cheered, "THAT A GIRL RUBY!"

"Did YOU see that?! That kick was awesome!" Sam's eyes lit up watching how her daughter's skills at soccer had drastically improved upon a few talks and sessions with the agent beside her. The agent, Ms. Arias was doing her best not to swoon over especially not at her daughter's game whom was leading her team by a long shot over the other. "I can't believe how good she's gotten, thank you Alex." Sam chimed in as the agent, sporting her daughter's team soccer jersey, turned to smile at her winking as she leaned in.

"She just needed some encouragement and a few pointers Sam, not much.." Alex explained nonchalantly. The agent hadn't really done that much. She must have been kidding herself, kidding them all.

She had only rescued her daughter on several occasions, put her own life on the line to keep the World Killer Reign from slaughtering Ruby all the while Sam finding out she WAS Reign in a way, Ruby and Alex discovering Sam was Reign, everyone working night and day to get them back to being reunited.

Then Alex had watched the amazing kid run up to her mom give her a hug and that warm smile Sam had given her and the thank you. Now, she was there, beside Sam as they cheered Ruby on as the game ended and they all cheered on with victory.

Alex felt a buzzing in her pocket as she reached for her phone. Sam had noticed the agent's distraction.

"What is it?" Sam asked with a slightly worried expression. After the mother and daughter had been reunited somehow Reign had been resurrected all the while Alex's sister had returned to Argo City which absolutely had crushed the agent with the departure. Then everything had blown to bits, literally upon three World Killers showing up to Earth. Sam had gotten lucky and caught on quickly thankfully on how to use Kryptonian powers, doing her best to protect both her daughter and the gorgeous agent before her now. But now….something seemed OFF. "Alex?"

"OOOOOH man did you two see the shots I made? It was awesome!" Ruby yelled coming over with a huge grin pumped up from her win as Sam hugged her daughter and watched her run over to her hugging the agent from the side. Alex snapped out of what had her attention to engulf Ruby in a strong embrace only for her head to lift as she looked at Sam. "Thank you Alex! Those moves you taught me sure came in handy.."

"What..moves?" Sam asked with an eyebrow raised and the agent tensed her shoulders looking away whistling. "Wait...what moves?" The L-Corp boss repeated coming closer waiting for an answer watching Alex lean down to whisper something in her daughter's ear but that was short lived when she heard it easily.

"When I say pizza, let's book it cross the field. PIZZA!" But Sam was quicker and it must have donned on them both too when the two were snatched by their tops at the back by her and her unbreakable grip. "HAHA oh HI Sam...we were just in the mood for some grub. Weren't we Ruby?"

"Yeah after that game I could sure go for some pepperoni how bout you Alex?"

"Totally!" Alex chimed in as they both laughed and felt the woman behind them wrap an arm around them both. "Hi Sam!" The agent gave her best flash of pearly whites hoping to steer the conversation away as the teenager's giggling wasn't helping in the least.

"What did you show my daughter?" Sam inquisitively asked with an eyebrow raised higher now. It was Alex's turn to giggle but it came out more of a gulped 'I'm guilty' mode. "Alex?"

"Just some um….moves to help her on her feet. Just some um….side-stepping and flips and stuff." The agent gulped again.

"Agent Daaanvers…." Sam whispered low in the woman's ear and Alex felt her entire body shiver at how she was addressed trying not to let it strike down where she knew it was going.

"In our defense mom…"

"In your 'defense'?" Sam gapped. Ruby cheekily smirked.

"She's made me a better player by showing me said moves and I can handle anyone who tries to pickpocket me now." Then as Ruby went to poke her mom's side Alex took the opportunity and slipped herself out of the Kryptonian's, not so firm grip, then turned spinning quickly to snatch both of Sam's arms in a light lock so she could wiggle free as all three began laughing. "Ha ha see mom?!"

"Veeeery funny you two now let me go Alex." Sam smiled chuckling hearing the agent snickering. "Come on…"

"Say the magic word first!" Ruby countered as Alex tightened her grip some which made Sam think of more than just defensive moves.

"Pizza?"

"PIZZA!" Both yelled as they all laughed again and Alex released her hold on Sam who instantly snaked an arm around Alex's waist to pull her into a side hug.

"Pizza it is you two brats." The L-Corp boss popped off as the three of them dashed toward Sam's vehicle.


Food hadn't taken too long at all and they decided to take it to Alex's considering Sam's place was still in renovation. After the chaos, construction to rebuild from the damages caused by the World Killers had skimmed down to a snail pace. So both Arias had been staying over between Alex's and Kara's places. And just on the dot, or the aroma from the boxes, the door had been knocked on.

"Do I smell the good stuff?" Kara poked her head in the door bringing orange cream and root beer cartons in with a couple of wide cerulean blue eyes staring at the boxes on the counter.

"The four over by the stove are yours. Hands off my Hawaiian and meat lovers Kara." Alex warned playfully as she tilted her head somewhat upside down to see her sister stick her tongue out at her which the agent did back.

"Aunt Kara!" Ruby piped in jumping over the bean bag on the floor she was sitting in to run over and give the blonde a hug grabbing her bag on the way. "We gonna do the arcades with Winn tonight?"

"You betcha kiddo, he's waiting in the car. Just um…..let me get our food to go." Ruby laughed.

"I already ate mine but I'll ride shotgun and you can engorge in the back with your boxes of slices how's that sound?" Kara grinned big nodding. Ruby waved to her mom and Alex. "Have a good night you two! Get out of the house more okay Mom, I promise it's safe and besides...you have a kick ass…"

"Ruby!" Both yelled as the girl laughed.

"...have a nice 'tough butted' agent to protect you. Love you mom night you two!" Alex glanced at her sister who easily carried out her boxes of dinner then stopped at one of the agent's Hawaiian boxes grinning wider.

"No no NO KARA!" The blonde laughed as she snatched a box of her sister's and ran for the door as it shut a little harder than intended. "I'm SO getting my sister back for that..dammit that was my last…" Alex jaw dropped as Sam held up the box Kara thought she got a huge smirk over the woman's face. "Wait….what did Kara get?"

"One of the veggie ones with ONE piece of meat." Sam held out the box for the gorgeous auburn short haired agent whom lunged in taking the box laughing. "Think she's gonna think it was me?"

"Ha ha nah….she will probably blame me." Alex told Sam as she slunk back into her spot on the couch next to the Kryptonian. It was then the agent's phone buzzed on the table. Sam was the first to reach to grab it but when she went to hold it out to Alex she had caught a glimpse at whom had called AND had texted..four times. Looking over she watched the agent's expressions shift between uncertainty, anger, sadness, guilt..and it was the last that made Sam put the phone back on the table instead of letting Alex take it.

"Alex?" Shaken brown eyes turned to gaze into her caring ones. "You..have NOTHING to be sorry for." Sam knew the woman was about to interrupt so she reached out and placed a gentle finger over her lips to tell her to hush. "You have absolutely nothing to feel that guilt about. Do you have...any idea how much you have done for everyone? How much you have sacrificed of yourself to keep the people you care about around you safe? You risked everything for me, for Ruby….for your family, for your friends..you nearly died Alex, RAO you nearly died by MY hand!" Sam spat out and nearly broke at what she had just spilt out of her trembling mouth. "So you have not a damn thing to be sorry for...ESPECIALLY to that person!" Sam slowly tried to calm down her breathing watching carefully the woman before her then reached out, to quickly drop the pizza box on the table over the device she had thrown back on it. She threw consequences to the wind lunging forward bringing a hand right behind Alex's head lacing her fingers in the woman's silky short hair and sliding a hand along the side of Alex's waist to slip behind and curl around the agent's lower back. Driving herself towards the sexy creature before her she captured Alex's lips with her own and a kiss that was intended to be soft sweet was filled with a fervor with rich wanton desire and it was no longer some soft contentment it was fire it was explosive and it became a passionate dance as they kissed like their very existence depended on it. Molded together like two perfect jigsaw pieces they crashed into one another and the collision was rapturous with ache for more.

Alex felt herself drawn in like a moth to a flame and burned for all Sam could provide. She found her hands clinging to the gorgeous Kryptonian beauty as she moaned and offered herself willingly to all Sam would offer and knew she could. With the parting of Alex's lips Sam wasted no time in slipping her strong tongue into the agent's so very smooth hot mouth and lashed at Alex's tongue until they were swirling and stroking one another feverishly. The agent's moans increased their volume as both of their gazes on one another became far too difficult to hold and both Sam and Alex felt their eyes roll back into their skulls even more so when the hand along the short haired woman's lower back slid it's way downward with a firm grip on the wonderfully toned DEO agent's ass. The need for breath broke their hungry kisses as both parted their mouths from one another panting.

"Fuck….." It was all Sam could respond with and then their gazes met and the woman before her held such a powerful stare than glistened with all the desire her universe could fathom. "Alex…" She felt the agent's cheek in her grasp so she curled her fingers more and it made Alex jump slightly as one hand rested on Sam's shoulder the other held firm to one of her hips. "Alex…" Sam repeated searching the woman's beautiful brown orbs for a sign that this wasn't okay and found none. "Alex….fu…." She couldn't handle it anymore tightening her grip on the agent's ass and sliding the hand that was behind her head to her cheek slipping further forward and grasping Alex's chin. Sam let her eyes fill with the hunger she had festering for the woman before her. A woman that was HERS for the taking and she WANTED to cease that. She pushed Alex's head back with the grip still on her chin leaning forward and practically growled for the agent. "You've been desiring for someone to reaaaally take you…..haven't you agent…" She smiled as she watched the woman in her strong grasp swallow hard. "You've wanted to know how it felt to have someone powerful like me…..show you what it means to be truuuully hungered for." Sam darted her tongue out and stroked it all the way from the top of Alex's chest to up along her throat to the side of her neck and flicking her earlobe just ever so gently causing the woman to tremble and whimper a moan. Then she moved her face closer and brought her teeth against the lobe closing them gently with just enough pressure tugging down a few times as Alex gasped whimpering again. Sam released her light nibbling of the agent's ear. "I can see the shape of you through all this material agent…..it's such a purrrrrrfect view…" She purred as she began to knead Alex's ass with her hand. "How would you feel….if I tore...every inch...of this...from your shaking…..hot…..desiring body?" Sam knew the answer but it was far too pleasurable to make the agent she longed for so badly, beg for it.

"Sam….pleeeease…." Alex felt herself caving with pent up sexual frustration and the tauntings of the woman whom was handling her so beastly wasn't helping the tension in her any. She knew then, she knew just by how Sam was making her feel, she wanted the woman and she made it clear to the beautiful brown haired vixen with two final words. "Fuck….me…" The woman whom held all the control brought her most devious of grins purring.

"With Pleasure.." Sam growled as she tugged the agent from the couch in a matter of seconds with her slammed up against the far wall of the living room pinned by her strength that she let up enough as the woman whom was mere inches off the ground was now back on her feet but arms spread out palms flat along it. Sam wasted no time using her Kryptonian strength tearing off the t-shirt first tossing it away to reach up at the straps of the tank and rip them apart from one another as the tank tore some but she chose to leave on the partially torn deep blue tank. Reaching in she clasped the bra maneuvering her fingers to unclasp it and let the straps slide down partially on Alex's bare upper arms. With the new flesh so very visible Sam's gaze slid downward as she slipped both hands up and cupped the soft plump breasts of the woman's and heard her wanton moans of pleasure as she continued to massage the beautiful mounds paying such fervor attention to the nipples hardening between rolled fingers she carefully worked over the pink tips. Alex's hands were no longer spread out on the wall but gripping to Sam's forearms as she rolled her head back doing her best to keep her vision clear but the sexual desire was becoming too damn good to care about seeing shit right now.

"Sammmm…." Alex moaned practically whimpering when the loss of contact to one of her boobs brought her concern but it was short lived when that hand that left was at the button of her jeans and the agent didn't care that one of her breasts had been abandoned.

"I can smell your glorious perfume Agent Danvers…." Sam purred in the woman's ear nudging it with her face. She'd undone the button and slowly pulled the zipper to the jeans down stopping all movement of that hand then. "Want them torn off? Or…..do you want me to slide my hand inside them and see how your panties are faring in this?" Sam smirked as her jaw cracked slightly and the sound of the agent's whine was enough to wonder just what kinks would REALLY send the very proud and noble agent to her begging knees. "Let's see..shall we?"

"Fu….Sam…." Alex spattered out as her eyes slid back breathing heavily when fingers stroked downward and into her open pants. The pressure of that hand sliding over her lacy underwear was enough to drive her achingly close to dripping though she was pretty sure she already had. Then fingers slipped over the material and down to curve cupping her sex bringing a gasp from her. "Sam...I...fuck….I'm…"

"So very moist for me? Oh I know agent….I also know how much of your pleasure has slipped down your thighs...and by the feel of these, mmmmm...your panties are absolutely soaked.." Sam felt the power high then as she slipped her hand out pulled from the agent for a moment then spun Alex around and pressed her face first against the wall with her gasping by the move. Sam held Alex by the back of the neck massaging it some then slipped her hand over the back of the agent's jeans right at one of the pockets sliding her fingers in one of them. Alex whimpered from the lack of contact once more. "Mmmmm….I hope you won't miss these.." Sam smirked growling then tore one of the pockets down some making a hole in the back of her pants gripping and tearing more slipping her hand inside. "Part your shaking legs for me Alex.." She demanded and knew just by how quickly the woman obeyed she had her right where she wanted her. Sam slipped her fingers right between Alex's trembling thighs sliding forward finding the nice deeply moist spot taking a couple fingers slipping them around the panties and yanking as the material gave way and dropped exposing a very soppy area. "Oooooh agent….Danvers you are absolutely drenched for me aren't you…" Sam purred in Alex's ear hearing the moans break out of the woman she had pinned as she drug two fingers along the soft ripe folds. "One, two, or….three agent?" Alex was panting heavily feeling Sam massaging her center which felt so damn fucking good but was driving her stark crazy with need.

"Wh….what?" She stammered out as the massaging went quicker and harder which only made Alex drip more and she was pretty sure Sam's hand possibly wrist was completely saturated in her desire.

"Pick, or….I'll stop making your nicely shaved flesh down here pulse with pleasure.."

"Fu….fuck…." Alex whimpered deeply as the hand completely stopped.

"Pick.." Sam growled in the woman's ear knowing how turned on Alex was at seeing this side of the woman she'd desired just as much as Sam hungered for her.

"Two….!" Alex strained out of her vocals gasping with eyes slipped forward and wide then slamming back just as her head did still pinned facing the wall. Two fingers were shoved passed the folds and directly into Alex's saturated pussy and she didn't have it in her for coherent thought anymore. "Fuck Sam….oooooh shit so damn good...fuck….your fingers...fuck please...fuck me harder with those….fuck!" The agent felt the waves in her crashing as her entire body shook with pleasure and without even fathoming her situation Sam had brought them to the floor with Alex on her back ,Sam between her bent and spread legs and the two fingers pounding into her wet core pumping with force and speed as the agent easily went over pleasure's edge as she plummeted into wanton ecstasy. The screams of her orgasms were music to the Kryptonian's ears and Sam just kept the plunges coming and she brought her head down to clasp her lips over Alex's clit sucking on it bringing the woman she hungered for to a whole new high of sexual fulfillment. Alex's body spasmed shaking as she came under Sam's powerful advances feeling her entire being struck by each orgasm until she had one final explosive release which left her body in a state of paralysis from such wonderful sensations. "Ooooh shit that was…" Alex began barely hearing the knocking at the door as she gazed over realizing through all this Sam was still clothed but in less and down to a silky tank bra and nicely fitting black jeans.

"I'll get it." Sam offered as she turned away from the melted mind and body blown agent on the floor smirking. She easily saw through the door but walked over and turned the knob just as the key was making its way into the door. She swung the door open and was met by the stunning leather jacket clad woman before her. Sam studied the darker hair the smooth and well put together darker shirt though quite low then glanced down at the rough looking jeans with slight tears realizing it was the flare fashion as of late. Looking back up she smiled wide realizing the woman before her wasn't gazing at her at all, she was glancing wide eyed jaw dropped at the tattered mess of Danvers in the agent's place. "Was there something…" But the woman paid her no heed and slipped passed her running to Alex's side diving down worry still all over her face. "Don't mind if you come in at all detective…" Sam grumbled turning to see what was before her.

"Danvers...what happened? It's okay, I'll…" The woman was easily pinned to the wall by Sam whom narrowed her eyes as the detective's eyes widened and she tried to break free of the Kryptonian's grip. "What the hell?!"

"Shit….Sawyer…" Alex stammered rolling herself to her side then front and slowly raising herself up some glancing down at how she looked widening her own eyes then shaking that away as she carefully stood slightly wobbly. "Sam...damn not steady...Sam..it's okay." The agent tried her best to explain but watching the woman the….POWERFUL woman like that..it did things to the agent and Alex swallowed hard. Arias had been right. Alex had wanted to be taken like that. She wanted more of it, she wanted to do things with Sam that she'd never have been able to do with anyone else, including the woman whom her protector had pinned. She lifted her eyes as they met the woman whom had walked out on what she wanted, what she needed, on her and her expression shifted. "What are you doing here Sawyer.." Alex crossed her arms leaning against the couch uncaring how much of her body was visibly open to her ex.

"Danvers...who's the guard dog?" Sam growled and pinned the detective harder. "Whoa whoa, I was kidding shit! Let me go bitch!"

"You..watch yourself.." Sam growled deeply in the woman's ear letting up on Maggie then stepping back to turn and walk to the couch sitting down but keeping focus on the detective at the door. "Haven't checked your phone I guess." Sam reached over sliding her hand under the pizza box and held up the agent's phone after going through her ring tones as one part of one played.

"I'm not ready to make nice,

I'm not ready to back down..

I'm still mad as hell, and I don't have time

To go 'round and 'round and 'round…

It's too late to make it right

I probably wouldn't if I could,

'Cause I'm mad as hell

Can't bring myself to do what it is

You think I should…"

"Um…" The detective noticed the gaze between both of the women and sighed putting her head down and walking back to the door leaning down to grab the black duffle bag and swing it onto a chair by the entry. "I uh...found some stuff of yours and thought you might want it back." Both Sawyer and Danvers knew it was true but it was also pure bullshit for an excuse Maggie was using to come see the agent. "I...I saw everything on the television. I saw the fights. I saw….shit Danvers...I saw you nearly get killed three times! Little Danvers twice!" The detective shouted with clenched fingers shaking with how upset she truly was. She didn't care about the danger anymore, or the strength of the woman before her that she seen on the news nearly end both the Danvers more than once. But now...now that very same woman was in the agent's apartment and Alex looked like..looked...like… "I'm sorry." It was all the detective could say seeing her ex that way. Then her gaze steeled and it turned to Sam. "You...WHAT are you doing HERE?!" It was more of a demand to know rather than a question and the Kryptonian felt it's force.

"Sam.." Alex spoke softly and Maggie stumbled back some mouth open at the calm sweetness of the agent's voice to the killer in front of her. Then her ex gently caressed the woman's face and their foreheads came down meeting and leaning against one another. "It's okay Sam." The agent slowly reached her other hand out to take one of Arias' and they both nodded when Sam's fingers interlaced with Alex's.

"Danvers?" Maggie sputtered and she didn't feel the fierceness of her convictions and angers anymore. The detective watched as Alex tilted her head some still keeping it against the Kryptonian's but looking at her. "Alex?"

"I appreciate you bringing my things." Alex spoke calmly knowing Sam was helping ground her, help ease her tension by how much controlled force she was using with their hands together.

"Sure." Maggie responded, as she pulled her gaze away and backed up to go to the door then stopped turned and gave her a warm smile. "See ya around Danvers…" The door shut and Alex shut her eyes collapsing into the strong arms she now desperately needed. Sam knew the moment the agent did that she was to take the lead and she easily unwound their fingers and slid hands under Alex's body hoisting her up and felt the woman's arms and legs wrap around her as Sam carried her away from the energy of the room toward the bedroom to hold the woman, the gorgeous fierce agent, in her arms on Alex's bed and let her scream or cry out all of what the visit had brought to the door.

"I've got you Alex…" Sam whispered against the woman's ear cradling her to her body hearing the whimpers and sobbing breaking loose. "I've got you…" How Sam wished...how she wished that she could take away the cruel agonizing pain the agent was enduring. How she wished she could turn back the clock and stop ALL of it from happening…

Losing consciousness as the entity in her closed her off from the world, from everything replacing it with a haunting cold and eternal dungeon of nightmares of unimaginable hell. Where she felt she would never see her daughter again where she felt she'd never get to tell Alex how she truly felt about her. And then the horrific treacherous visions watching from an unwanted view as the monster in her body fought Supergirl, and nearly killed Alex's little sister.

Even worse, begun an absolute terror streak of violence and some sick depraved game of purging of Sin even though Reign was the worst of the 'sinners'. Watching all this unfold, helpless to do a damn thing. She was absolutely scared for her daughter and what would happen if the people that were protecting Ruby were slaughtered by the woman baring her flesh.

Then Lena showed up in the dead world she had been trapped in, and Alex and Supergirl which Sam was seeing more and more as the only one that wouldn't kill her vessel while she was stuck in the nightmarish realm. They had told her to wake and with it leaving Reign to wreak havoc on the three that came to rescue her. She found out later that Reign had nearly killed Lena and that Kara, the noble Supergirl, had offered herself up instead. Luckily the future 'Legion' members had pulled the three out alive. But it was way too close.

Then Sam had woken up in a med bay after last awakening to a crystal blood and black colored fortress, and her daughter was safe and happy and in her arms. Then she met gazes with the woman in the doorway and their smiles to one another said it all along with the thank you…

"Sam…" Alex had been calling the woman softly for a few minutes when she had been lain carefully on her bed to have Ms. Arias tenderly holding her in a way that was both gently and protective. Then the eyes that had been unfocused regained their destination meeting Alex's brown ones.

"I know….right now, you don't feel strong Alex. I know that part of you is wanting to run to hide and guard yourself against anything and anyone that seeks to approach you…" Sam spoke with level intent. "But you don't have to search for that strength. You have it right here, with me." Their eyes locked with a pure conviction as Alex nodded feeling Sam's hand slip into her own their fingers interlacing once more. "El Mayarah.." Sam remembered Kara telling her the meaning of those words. They were perfect for what she needed Alex to know.

"El Mayarah.." Alex spoke back and they both smiled into one another as Sam pulled the woman into her warm embrace. The detective's visit was forgotten as the tears stopped slipping down the agent's face. Them laying together tangled in one another, Alex's hand resting on Sam's cheek the other intertwined with Ms. Arias'. Sam's hand pressing softly around Alex's back to keep the agent warm and cared for along with safe and stable.

It felt right. It felt serene. It felt like…..home.


*The song, "Not Ready To Make Nice" by the Dixie Chicks, I include in here. After the trials of two years, the abandonment and loss, the tears and anger….I write this.

Cherish those you have, that do not judge you but are simply there, they are there…through thick and thin.

In a way I have felt like the agent though not much strength at times, I stand strong still determined to protect those I care for…no matter the cost. 'El Mayarah' holds so much more meaning.

Until next time you incredible souls…
