Chapter Text
Pajama-clad and popcorn on their laps, the Danvers sisters were enjoying their typical movie night watching A Walk to Remember, Kara's newfound favorite movie. Alex grumbled when Kara got teary-eyed at the sad scenes, and drank more in response. It was Kara's turn to pick the movie, and of course she had to choose something romantic rather than Alex's preferred thriller genre. She was laying on the couch, Alex wrapped around her half-asleep.
10:52 PM
J'onn: Come to the DEO ASAP. Urgent.
J'onn: Leave Alex out of this one.
Kara sat up carefully to read the messages, not to disturb her sister.
Kara: Is everything alright?
J'onn: I'll explain when you get here. Just don't tell her right now Kara. I already texted Maggie to bring her home.
As if on cue, a knock on Kara's door caused Alex to get up groggily.
"Hey Danvers. Thought I'd pick you up on my way home from work. Kara told me you were already asleep and pretty drunk." She smiled. Maggie had taken a few months to realize that she could see herself as a mom. Many of her friends at the precinct were already married and had children, whom once she watched some of them a handful of times, realized she did crave a part of herself in her life. That she wants Alex and a mini-her. One they could teach to be a badass, how to be loving and caring, but tough. She had a heart-to-heart talk with her and while they did have to settle disagreements, they were the one for each other. It took some time and they'd take everything slow, making sure they talked about each and every one of their differences before getting back to where they had been.
"I'm not tha-"
"You've said two words and you're slurring them."
"In my defense Kara chose another sappy love story gone wrong movie." Alex rubbed her eyes and looked guilty.
"Hey!" Kara shot her a look.
"Plus I was just going to crash here."
"Change of plans. Come on. Go get your stuff and I promise you this will put you out of your movie-watching torture."
Alex looked defeated and slowly walked into Kara's bathroom to change into her normal clothes.
"Kar, any idea what's going on? Or why J'onn texted me this?" Maggie held her phone up showing the martian's text. All it said was: Take Alex home ASAP. I need Kara right now.
"No idea. I thought maybe you'd know. I'll keep you updated though." Kara smiled as Alex held her purse and went to hug her girlfriend.
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Hell yeah, because I love you and you're my little sist-"
"Okay Alex go sleep that off."
"And we work together! Isn't it awesome having your sister work with you?"
Kara laughed at Alex as Maggie turned her around and guided her out. She mouthed see you soon and motioned for Kara to call her when she knew what was up.
Curious as to why Alex couldn't come, she had worry on her mind.
As Alex walked out the door, Kara listened to her heartbeat. Normal. Safe. When the door closed, she went on her way to see why J'onn needed her now.
"Supergirl." J'onn greeted her at the door and seemed off. He was somber and Kara knew there was no time to ask how he was or what happened. She would get the answer soon enough.
As she walked past Winn, he gave her a sympathetic look. Something wasn't right.
"J'onn, what's going on?"
"Does Alex know you're here?"
"No. We were having movie night and she was drunk and Maggie took her home. She doesn't even know I'm here."
He sighed.
"It's Jeremiah. He's been found and it's not good."
