so on monday, we’re supposed to be getting a public kiss. plus that imagine of alex with her phone that reads “Sawyer” just.. imagine.
DEO base under attack, on lock down and on high alert. the white martian has been tearing through the DEO, floor by floor, causing agents to fall back repeatedly. Kara and J'onn are trying their damnedest to keep it contained, but J'onn’s bleeding and Kara is almost drained. M'gann steps in as J'onn falls back. Alex seeing her sister being thrown around and she won’t let Kara die, not today. So she charges through with her forces and the Martian’s attention is drawn to them.
They push it back enough with tranqs and silicone bullets. Alex doesn’t go unscathed sadly. She’s still on the fourth subfloor, claw marks along her abdomen and bruises on her ribs. One hand grips at her bleeding abdomen and another goes for the phone in her boot. Her fingers dial a familiar number, blood staining her screen as she hits call.
Across the city, Maggie picks up her phone with a smile on her face as “Danvers” lights up her screen. “Hey, I was just about to call-” All Maggie hears is groans and hisses of pain. “Alex?”
“Mags, we never went to the carnival.”
Alex’s voice was weak and strained, Maggie was on the brink of tears. “Alex, what- what are you talking about?”
“You know in those shitty highschool romcoms. We never went to the carnival, never kissed at the top of the ferris wheel. I never won a stuffed panda for you.” Alex tried to laugh but it turned into a wheezing fit. Maggie couldn’t help but let out a little laugh at the thought of Alex getting competitive at a ring toss stand. “The DEO is under attack. And, there’s a photo on one of these fallen over desks with Agent Brian and his boyfriend at the carnival.”
“We’ll go this summer, my treat.” Maggie was holding in her tears as she stood from her desk, walking around and setting up a task force. “You like roller coasters?”
“Mags, Thank you. I- I didn’t know what I wanted in life for a long time, I felt as if I was missing something. And then, then you came in and I knew. It took time but I knew. Thank you, Mags.”
“You can thank me once I see you tonight, remember we still haven’t had that ice cream.” Maggie’s voice was strangled and Alex couldn’t hold her tears back any longer.
“We may need to reschedule that date. I’m sorry, Mags. I lo-”
The line was cut. Maggie heard the dial tone, the buzz of the line ending made her tears fall faster. “Alex, Alex!”
It takes ten minutes for the task force Maggie wrangled to get to the DEO, secrecy be damned. Once she’s there she sees Kara’s bright costume, now covered in blood and dirt, carrying J'onn’s limping form. M'gann’s behind her with other agents pulling bodies out of the rubble.
“Kara. Kara!” Maggie races to her, one thing on her mind. “Where is she? Is she out?”
Kara’s eyes are puffy and red, her head raises and she shakes solemnly. Maggie feels her heart drop into her stomach. She races forward, ignoring the cries of Kara and J'onn.
She’s on the ground floor, surrounded by rubble and limping soldiers. There’s no exit, hallways are collapsed in, doors are closed and beaten, unable to open. Her knees feel weak, her head is spinning and she doesn’t know what she’s feeling but she hates it.
Maggie tries to hold on to hope, walking around the ground floor and pushing rubble that she can move on her own, aside. Shouting out to the void, horrified and scared. When her screams stop echoing, she heard metal hitting metal. Turning towards the sound, Maggie sees a leg in between a door and wall. The door closes but hits the leg so it opens an inch to close once more, repeating the action on the leg.
The leg belongs to a body, thank god, and the body is breathing. Blood running down it’s hands and chest, across it’s neck and legs. Maggie pushes the door fully back, it locks into place once its in the wall. She kneels down, moving the person’s head and hair out of their face.
Staring back at her is a face she thought she wouldn’t see again. “Alex, hey. Please.”
The woman’s head turns on its own, her eyes flittering open and when her vision steadies on Maggie’s form she gives her a signature smirk. “Hey, you look a lot like my girlfriend.”
Maggie chokes out a laugh, tugging Alex’s face closer to her and holding her girlfriend in her arms until someone finds them.
