Hello there! So this is the final chapter! I'm really thankful to all of you for the support on this story, for the kudos and the comments! Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas or Hanukkah or just a wonderful day :D
And now I have a question for you all, should I write a epilogue with their wedding? It's just an idea and I don't know when I'll write it, but I just wanted to put this out there!
Enough talking, enjoy the finale! -All the mistakes are mine-
"You have what?" Maggie asks frowning. Immediately Alex puts a hand on Maggie's shoulder and looks at her with a concerned look.
"Something happened. It's long to talk on the phone, it'll be better if you just come by the station so I could explain it to you better"
"Okay, give me ten minutes" Maggie says.
"See you now, then" her partner says as goodbye and ends the phone call. Maggie stays for a few moments looking at the phone.
"What happened?" Alex asks concerned about the fact that Maggie is still silent.
"They have a lead on your shooter" Maggie says with caution. She puts Alex's hands between her own "Johnson want us to go to the station so he can show us" Maggie sense how Alex tightens her grip on Maggie's hands "And it's okay if you don't want to go, I know that tomorrow morning you start with the physical therapy and you have to sleep well so you can-"
"I want to go. I have to go" Alex says cutting off Maggie's rambling.
"Are you sure? You totally don't have to go, I can go there by myself and see what's happening and keep you informed with all" Maggie says caressing the back of her fiancée's hand with her thumb.
"I am. I can call the doctor and reschedule the appointment" Alex shrugs and Maggie shakes her head in negation.
"Nope, nothing of reschedule, you have to go to physical therapy if you want to go out to the field again. You heard Dr. Hunt"
"Okaaaaay mom, I'll go" Alex says smiling and Maggie chuckles.
"Let's go to the station then. Let's go catch this son of a bitch"
- :D -
Maggie and Alex rush in the station hand in hand, straight to the second floor, where the science division was placed. They found Johnson in his desk talking over the phone.
"Yeah" Johnson says to the phone "Maggie is here" a pause "Alex is here too" another pause "Of course, bye" Johnson ends the phone call "Hey" he greets "how you doing, Alex?" he asks.
"I'm doing fine, tomorrow I'm starting physical therapy" Alex says with a nervous smile on her face.
"I'm glad" Johnson mirrors her. He gets up from the chair and reaches for two chairs from the nearest desk for Maggie and Alex to sit. They thank him and take sit "Mags, remember the body that we found last week? The one-" he is cut off by Maggie.
"The one that we suspected was part of an alien drogue ring?" Johnson nods and she turns to Alex to explain the case better.
"The owner of the abandoned building found the body and called the police, when we arrived, we took samples and they were ready when I called you. The fingerprints where a match with the ones we found in the grocery store" Maggie sees how Alex's face fall and in a heartbeat she is hugging her "we didn't have a match back then because he wasn't on the system, but after the shooting we uploaded everything we had on him and when I ran the fingerprints a while ago, it was a match" Johnson stops talking giving Alex a minute.
"We know something about him?" Maggie asks still looking at Alex, who was totally silent.
"Nada" Johnson turns to his desk to grab a file "This is all we have. Date of death and now we have the shooting" he hands the file to Maggie.
"We don't have a name? You looked in missing persons?" Maggie asks as she reads the file.
"Yeah, nothing" Johnson says and Maggie nods, focusing in Alex.
"Al? Are you okay?" Maggie asks to a silent Alex.
"Yes yes, I am. I just want to go home. Tomorrow I have to be up early" she says getting up "Bye, Johnson. Thanks for everything" Alex flashes a smile towards Maggie's partner and starts to walk to the elevator.
"Can I took this file with me?" Maggie asks and Johnson nods "Okay, I'll see you"
"Bye, Mags"
- :D -
Alex was already in bed when Maggie finished her shower. When Maggie steps into the bedroom she sees Alex reading the file with her eyes filled with tears. Maggie approaches to the bed and climbs to Alex's side of it.
"Are you okay?" she asks softly.
"Yeah" she says as she wipes a few tears "It's just that he's dead and we don't know anything about him. And I don't even know if I want to know now. He hurt me, but I'm alive. And I have the feeling that you will obsessed with this and I don't want you to" Alex says now looking straight to Maggie's eyes "I want us to move on. I want us to enjoy our engagement and plan the wedding" Alex says caressing Maggie's hand "I want to go to therapy tomorrow and get better so I can go back to the field, I want to be like I was before. Okay? I want to forget that this happened, with the security that this men" she says pointing at the file "is not bothering us nevermore. I know that Johnson will do an amazing job hunting that drogue ring and if he needs help of any type, the DEO will be there. But I just want to end all this, okay?''
"Are you sure?" Maggie asks "Are you sure you don't want me to investigate a little bit more? I could-" Maggie is cut off by Alex's lips on hers.
"I just want to marry you" Alex says after she broke the kiss, with her forehead against Maggie's.
"I love you, Alex"
"Love you too, Mags. Forever"
Two months later
''Agent Danvers, welcome back'' J'onn greets her as soon as she enters to the control room. Everyone was there, Kara, James, Mon-El and Winn.
Kara flies to her and hugs her tightly ''I'm so glad you are back'' she says into her ear.
''I'm glad too, sis'' Alex says hugging her back, smiling. Alex steps back a little and talks louder ''I know you all missed me''
''I didn't that much'' Winn says shrugging.
''You'' Alex says pointing at him ''Missed me the most''
''Puff, you wish'' Winn says as he get back to whatever he was doing on the computer.
''I read the messages on Whatsapp in the group, you know?'' Alex says with a cocky smile.
Everyone laughs as Winn's face turns to red.
''I told you that Alex reads it'' James says approaching Alex and giving her a hug ''I'm really happy that you are back''
''Me too, Alex'' Mon-El says and he taps her on the shoulder.
''Okay, we all are happy for Agent Danvers to be back, but now we need to go back to work, we have a case'' J'onn says and everyone goes back to work ''We are collaborating with the NCPD in this one, maybe Maggie is on the case''
Alex was about to answer that she didn't know about the case when her phone rings. She looks at the ID and it reads 'DD'
''Look! It's Maggie'' she says to everyone ''Danvers'' she answers.
''It's Sawyer. Wanna see a dead body?''
''Always''
