Before Kara could even stand up, Maggie was already running outside of the cafeteria. Kara runs after her, almost flying, forgetting for a moment that she actually has a secret identity for a reason. She didn't care right now, and either does Maggie, who was still running until she reaches Alex's door. Stopping abruptly.
Kara sees the hesitation for a moment. Maggie takes a deep breath and turns around facing Kara.
"What if she doesn't remember me? What if this is in like every movie that the principal character forgets about the girlfriend? I don't want that to happen to us. Maybe I should stay out here. Maybe you should go inside first and see how is she doing and... I don't know, ask her if she remember someth-"
"Maggie" Kara says stopping her almost-sister-in-law rambling. She puts her hand in Maggie's shoulder "Remember the advantages of being Supergirl, right?" Maggie nods "That means that I have superhearing, like I said before. And that means that I can listen to Alex asking for you so you sho-"
"Oh thanks Rao!" Maggie says hugging Kara and facing the bedroom door, taking a deep breath again "Okay Mags, let's do this" she says encouraging herself, ignoring the soft chuckle of Kara.
As soon as she opens the door, Alex turns her head to her direction. Maggie freezing on the door. Nobody moves until a little smile appeared on Alex's face. And that's all Maggie needed to almost run the two steps to her girlfriends bed and take her hand between hers.
"Hey, you" Maggie says with a huge smile on her face. Tears starting to fall (Maggie couldn't believe how much she was crying in the last two weeks). Alex tries to wipe away the tears with her hand, but she fail. "Easy there"
"I-I..." Alex tries to say something but her throat was dry. Gesturing with her hand to her throat, Kara has already went for a glass of water. Alex seems to notice Kara for the first time when her sister hands the glass, giving her the same smile that she gave Maggie.
"Hi, sis" Kara greets, helping Alex to stand up a little. Just a little so she can drink the water.
"Well, that sucked" Alex says chuckling, making Maggie and Kara laugh.
"Jesus, Danvers. Do you even remember what the hell happened?" Maggie asks to her girlfriend, grabbing her hand again, making small circles with her thumb.
"I recalling us going to that grocery store that afternoon, and then us going back to my apartment after that. But I have to come back because we didn't buy the bottle of water, so I did that." Alex stops talking, thinking if she could remember something else "after that all is a bit messed up, I hear screaming and someone with a gun... Oh wait, I tried to stop him, when he turned around to grab all the money I tried to get my gun out, but he saw me. And then..." Alex lowers her head watching her own abdomen, she lifts the sheets and see all the bandage around her "well, he... He sh-shot me"
The realization hits Alex. She knew she was in the hospital the very first moment she opened her eyes, she knew what had happened, but saying it out loud was something very different.
"How much I've been out?"
"Like two weeks and a couple of days" Kara answers, brushing some of Alex hair out of her face.
"Oh...wow" Alex stares at the wall in front of her, when suddenly her eyes widen "Did he hurt anyone else? At the store, I mean" Alex says looking at Maggie.
"No, no. For what I saw on the surveillance video, he-he shoot you" Maggie looks away "Then he grabbed the money and ran away"
"Didn't catch him?" Alex asks concerned.
"Not yet. He was wearing a mask and there are no cameras down the streets he went, so we have no idea where he is" Kara answers this time.
"Okay" Ales says yawning. "When I get back to work, I could-"
"Alex, why don't you go to sleep again? You are tired, honey" Maggie says cupping Alex's cheek.
"I'm not tired" Alex says resting her head against her girlfriend's hand, closing her eyes.
"Of course you are not" Maggie leans over kissing Alex's temple "Go back to sleep, Al. We are gonna be here by the time you wake up"
"Mm'kay" Alex says finally falling asleep over Maggie's hand.
"We should call a doctor, shouldn't we?" Kara asks, now sitting in the chair that Maggie has been sleeping for the past two weeks.
"Yeah, we should" Maggie says while she walks toward the exit "You should tell the gang she is awake too"
"I'm on it. They asked how she was" Kara says as she read the Whatsapp group, 'SuperFriends'. It was Winn's idea, and she loves it.

Dr. Hunt comes into the bedroom with his characteristic serious face. As soon as he sees Kara, he smiles.
"Miss Danvers, glad to see you again" he says as they shake hands.
"Likewise" Kara smiles.
"So, Maggie here told me that she woke up" he says reading Alex's chart, glancing to the monitors and the fluids bags "That's a good signal. She remembered everything? What happened? Who are you? Who is she?" the doctor keep asking as he keeps checking all the cables and things around Alex.
"Yes, she remembers everything. Well, we didn't ask her to tell us her name, but after she told us about that day we assume that it wasn't necessary" Maggie shrugs looking at Kara, who was nodding.
"Okay then, I'm afraid we need to wake up her now, so we could do her some studios. Just for control" Dr. Hunt moves her hand to wake her up when Maggie stops him.
"Wait. Can I?"
"Yes, of course" Maggie gives him a thankful smile.
"Babe, Al? Wake up honey" Maggie whispers. She leans over and kisses Alex's cheek "Are you awake?" Alex murmurs something "Come on, Al. The doctor needs to run some test"
"Five more minutes" Alex tries to go back to sleep. Maggie chuckles.
"The sooner you let the doctor runs those test, the sooner we are going home" That seems to catch Alex's attention, because she opens her eyes.
"I'm going home?" Alex asks.
"Well, that depends on the results. I'm Doctor Hunt, by the way"
"Pleasure to meet you, doctor" Alex says giving the doctor a smile "and thanks, for saving my life"
"Just doing my job. So, I'm going to do son test, and keep you on observation about one more week-"
"One week? But-but I'm fine" Alex says crossing her arms in her chest.
"Here we go" Kara says rolling her eyes.
"What?" Alex says looking at Kara "I'm a doctor, I know when I'm not fine. And now I'm just fine and there is no way in hell I'm staying here one week more"
- ONE WEEK LATER -
"Come on, honey. We are going home" Maggie says as she starts to put all of Alex's clothes on a bag.
"Yassssssss! Thanks God" Alex says almost jumping off of her bed.
"Watch out Alex" Maggie warned.
"Yeah, I know. I just want to go home. With you" Alex says approaching Maggie.
"I know you want, but you still need to be careful" Maggie hugs her girlfriend.
"Just... Let's go. We need to finish the moving in thing"
