A/N: Hi Guys! Sorry it took me so long to update, I've just been moving around to so many places (China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka) and I have finally settled in the Middle East. So it's been quite a ride with so many beautiful places to see. Chapter 6 is finally here, and Chapter 7 is already in the works, so you don't have to wait too long for that. The story is turning out to be a little more Alex-centric than I had anticipated, but I am really enjoying taking her character out of her comfort zone. Like I said before, it's going to be a little bit of a slow-burn so I hope you hang in there and like it.
Now that the 2nd season has started, this is officially AU. So I wouldn't expect any spoilers to be included beyond the 1st season.
I appreciate all your comments, and follows! I hope you enjoy this!

J'onn and Lucy were standing in the command center when Alex finally stepped it. Things have been quiet post Myriad, the city, and its potentially rouge aliens, still a little shaken.
"We've done a sweep of the area. If the suspected target was there, they're all gone by now" Lucy was pointing to an area in the abandoned warehouse district, and shaking her head. The hunt for a suspected alien with knack for minor vandalism didn't go as well as she wanted it to.
As Alex walked up to them both J'onn and Lucy looked at her unexpectedly, she almost always came back with information after seeking a consultants help.
"Good Morning Agent Danvers. I hope your trip was fruitful last night?" Hank turned to face her a hint of a smile grazing his lips.
"Good Morning Director." Turning to face Lucy as she briefly addressed her "Assistant Director."
Lucy nodded in acknowledgment, an actual smile filling her features. She and Alex had become close in the last weeks.
"Well Dr. Davis seemed really intrigued by the material that I provided her with last night, however limited it was. It seems like the language is some sort of primitive Kryptonian, but she couldn't be sure with only the documents I had provided."
"The originals cannot leave the DEO, you know that Alex." J'onn was adamant to keep whatever information they had safe, especially in the event of the last few months. Cadmus was still out there, and he couldn't risk them getting wind of the infant arriving on Earth.
"I am well aware of the protocols when it comes to this, Director." Alex said, a little peeved that she wasn't heard all the way. "I was thinking of bringing her here."
"Are we sure we want to bring another civilian into this?" Lucy said, gesturing around. Of course, she didn't mean the facility; although it was still looking a little worse for wear, she meant the DEO; the secrets, the danger.
"It's the only way for her to see the whole manuscript. We need a break in this and soon. If not for us, then for the child." Alex wouldn't readily admit it, but she was a little more than concerned for the still mysterious infant.
J'onn seemed to consider it for a second, and took a couple of steps around them, leaning on the control panel and sighed deeply. "Are you sure you could trust her to stay out of trouble?"
"I'm not sure, it's the outsiders that bring us the trouble. We seem to have enough of it here to go around right here." Alex was a little more than concerned about the prospect of putting Davey in actual crazy alien danger. She huffed, slightly. "What other option do we have? I trust her, sir. I really do."
J'onn crossed his arms, and uncrossed them, weighing the issue at hand. He looked over to Lucy and she shrugged. "If Alex trusts her, I don't see why not."
Lucy turned to Alex and took her slightly disheveled look in. There was another issue brewing under the surface, and it was upsetting the usually stoic Alex. "You want us to bring her in? Or do you think it would be better if you brought her in?"
Alex ran her hand in her hair, and sighed. She needed about 20 more coffee mugs to feel like herself today.
"I'll bring her in. She's the academic type, so I'm not sure a group of paramilitary operatives rolling into her office at the University would do much to motivate her to help us."
"Alright then, it is settled." J'onn began to walk away towards his office. The repairs needing a mountain of paperwork signed. "Take Johnson and Perkins with you."
"I can go with her Director." Lucy quipped before Alex could accept J'onn's conditions. "A couple of agents with guns, isn't exactly low key"
J'onn turned around, and found that Alex seemed relieved by Lucy's offer. He nodded and continued walking. Whatever was going on with Alex, he wasn't really sure he wanted to get into right now.
As J'onn disappeared down the hallway, Lucy turned her attention back to Alex. To the untrained eye, Alex seemed calm and collected, but she could sense something was crawling underneath her friend's skin.
"Are you going to call your asset, or should we just show up unannounced?"
"We should just go, she doesn't have any classes today. She should be in her office." Alex said matter-of-factly and began to walk towards the parking facility.
"You get to drive, Assistant Director Lane." She said almost teasingly, trying to clear some of the awkwardness that has settled between the friends.
"Not if your life depended on it, Agent Danvers." A grin spreading across her face.
As they walked towards the parking facility, occasionally nodding and greeting agents as they passed by, nothing was said. The silence between them was comfortable and devoid of any questions that Alex probably wanted to avoid.
As they drove back to the city, Lucy's phone shimmed and she opened up a file that she had texted Vasquez to send her. A file on Dr. Andrea Davis, filled with all sorts of professional achievements as well as any other information the government has gathered up on her.
Lucy still cringed on how much information, a simple computer search can bring up on government servers, and although she knew it was at times necessary, a part of her always thought it was a bit excessive.
Dr. Andrea Davis, born in 1985 in an affluent suburb of National City. Schooled in the most prestigious academies as a child, she had later graduated from Standford University with honors in 2014, only to be immediately hired by The University of National City. She had already published a more than decent amount of academic papers despite her relatively busy teaching schedule, her classes having become the most popular in the faculty. This meant that despite the chance at an easy and luxurious life her family's wealth is able to easily afford her, Dr. Davis worked like a dog.
"Busy." Lucy uttered to herself, still looking through the file.
"Busy? Busy what?" Alex asked quizzically. They were still on the lonely desert road leading up to the city, and even then the traffic should be considerably light.
"Sorry I was just looking through the file we have on Dr. Davis. She seems like she keeps pretty busy." Lucy still continued to muse, unaware of Alex climbing anxiety. "What makes you think she would even give us the time of day?"
"She can't really back down from anything she considers a challenge." Alex said, matter-of-factly, keeping her eyes on the road.
"You know her well enough to say that?" Lucy had looked up and began arching a suspicious brow towards Alex.
"Yes. We lived together in college." Alex clutched the steering wheel tighter, hoping that would put an end of a line of questioning she had a feeling Lucy had begun.
"I did not know you went to Stanford, Alex!" Lucy said a little too enthusiastically.
"Yes you do. You read my file Lucy, you aren't fooling anyone." Alex just smirked. As she had suspected Lucy was now curious and she wouldn't let it go.
Lucy chuckled just a little. She knew her little fib wouldn't pass, especially not over Alex Danvers.
"I'm honestly just surprised you managed to keep any friends at all since college. Face it Alex, you aren't exactly the most social person I know."
"Well Davey wasn't really my friend." Alex know very well that Lucy wasn't going to drop this. She knew she was on to something like a bloodhound on a hunt. It was time for her to come clean, and Lucy had become a close friend of confidant lately, so it might as well start with her.
"She was my girlfriend."
Alex turned towards Lucy just to flash her a smile, and then turned her attention back to the road, but not before seeing her friend's jaw lax and her eyes bounce around subtly in their sockets.
"Don't tell Kara just yet, but Andrea Davis was defiantly not my friend."

Here it is folks! Sorry it wasn't much in terms of plot lines, but I really wanted to get some information about Davey out there.
Also Alex coming out, just in time for "Coming out Day" is just the icing on the cake. Are you excited for Kara and/or Supergirl to finally meet/face Davey? Tensions are climbing for Kara...
