Summary
She’s been called aloof and cold before, but she decided long ago that it was better than being nasty and out of control. She would rather be hated for being distant than hurt someone out of anger.
Except sometimes - some people - they get under Maggie’s skin despite her best efforts. Alex Danvers can control Maggie’s mood with a smile or a raised eyebrow, without even trying. It drives the detective crazy but also brings her a deep sense of joy.
Right now, though, Alex is giving Maggie a dose of her own medicine, and the same power to sneak through the cracks that led to late nights giggling over pool and stupid jokes was scraping against that part of Maggie made up of loneliness and wrath, and driving her to that place she hated to be so much.
***
Kara has some choice words for Maggie, who is just trying to make it through her next beer.
Missing scene from 2x07.

Summary
"And just what are your intentions regarding my sister?"
The question is asked in all seriousness, the blonde woman standing tall, legs shoulder-width apart and arms crossed under her breasts, making the muscles of her arms seem carved out of stone.
Maggie wonders how long she is supposed to pretend she doesn't know Kara is Supergirl.
"Kara? We've been dating for like, weeks now. You know this - you practically yenta'd us," the detective teases, smiling when Kara's cheeks flush pink.
****
Maggie is finally taking Alex out on a proper date, but Kara has some questions first...
