Chapter Text
Kara found herself stomping up the steps of Maggie Sawyer’s building at human speed, anger filled her entire body. She’d been up all night with Alex, holding her while she sobbed and talked about her emotions. She’d made up her mind while working on an article for Snapper and had made her way over at super speed to do what she should have done the night before.
She was going to give Maggie Sawyer a lesson in messing with her sister.
Knocking on the door forcefully she waited, not caring she stood in her Supergirl costume. The door opened and Kara was about to talk when a gasp made her look down to see a little girl with pig-tails, grinning like she’d just won an endless supply of cookies.
“Supergirl!” She all but screamed, her body practically humming.
“Jaime what did you say about Supergirl?” The sound of Maggie Sawyer made Kara do a double take and she saw the detective heading towards the door. “Oh, it’s actually her.”
“I know Mama, can you believe it and she’s at our door.” The girl looked back at Kara. “You can come in.”
Kara nodded, “thank you Jaime.” She bent down once the door was closed, “I actually have some super important, adult police business to talk with your mom about so you think you could draw me an amazing picture?”
“Yeah!” The grin on the girl’s face couldn’t possibly get any wider.
“Don’t forget to close the door because you won’t want to ruin the surprise would you? I might be able to see if after all if the door is open.”
She shook her head, “no.”
With that Jaime was out of the room and Kara stood up, her smile disappearing as she turned to look at Maggie. She folded her arms and practically glared, sure if her heat vision was activated the woman would be toast.
“Look, you know you could have just asked Danvers for my number instead of coming all the way here…” she paused when Kara put up a finger. “What’s with the finger?”
“You don’t get to say her name or even think about her. I don’t know what happened between you but all I know is that she was sobbing all night and ate an entire box of donuts and Alex Danvers doesn’t eat sugar except for on the weekend.”
Maggie motioned towards her, “I didn’t know you were a thing.”
“We’re not a thing but if you want the truth,” Kara bit her lip and wondered if the detective could keep a secret. Knowing the DEO hadn’t been exposed and Alex always stated Maggie said she was working with the FBI, she figured she’d be okay. “I’m Kara Danvers, Alex is my adopted sister.” She took a step forward, “and as my sister, if someone breaks her then I break them.”
“Whoa!” Maggie put her hands up, “way to spill the beans. Anyways, I don’t know what Alex told you but no matter how she’s feeling I did what I did to protect her.”
Kara paused in her advance, “protect her?”
Maggie sighed and sat down, looking up at the superhero standing in her living room. “She’s starting to find herself and I know from experience that diving into a relationship immediately after is a very bad idea, for both parties.” She sighed, “especially with alcohol and I know her pencient for it.”
Kara saw her eyes float to the back of the apartment, “Jaime?”
“Got drunk after breaking up with a girl whom I was a first for, I thought she was perfect and she thought I was too involved. I had Jaime.” Maggie shrugged, “she wasn’t the mistake.” Standing she groaned, “I don’t know why I’m telling you this?”
“I could break you in two.”
Maggie turned around, “good point, although I don’t think Alex would appreciate it.” She shrugged, “I just want her to find herself and experience what’s out there before she makes up her mind. I like her too much to let her hurt herself.”
Kara sat down on the couch, “here I was expecting to yell at you.”
“How is she really?”
“She really, really likes you.” Kara looked up at the detective, “I’ve never seen her like anyone like this so I don’t how she’ll act. Right now she’s happy with scotch, donuts and horrible TV.”
Maggie sighed, “I guess you didn’t tell her you were coming over to break me in two?”
“Nope and as far as she is to know, I was never here.”
The door to the back room opened and Jaime came rushing out, holding up a picture of Supergirl against a tall building on fire. She grinned as she held it out to Kara. “It’s you saving a burning building.”
“This is awesome work, you should totally help your mom with police sketches.” Kara took the picture and folded it, putting it in her skirt. “So it doesn’t disappear when I fly.”
Jamie grinned, “you’re awesome.”
“No you are!” Kara poked her belly and stood up, “now I got a city to save and you have to help your mom with whatever she needs.”
Maggie smiled, “thanks for that important info Supergirl.”
“Anytime, I mean it’s about very important business.” She gave Maggie a wink before heading to the door. “Bye.”
On the flight home, Kara could only smile as she realized that Maggie Sawyer really did care for Alex. The thought of her heartbroken sister made her smile disappear but she knew with time things would be alright. She could only hope in time the two would come together again and be stronger friends, or more, for the better. Also Alex adored kids and Jaime was just a mini-Maggie so she’d love the little girl instantly.
“Shoot, I almost forgot the Chinese!” She made a swift turn to head towards their favorite Chinese restaurant.
