Chapter One
Dr. Alex Danvers, just moved from New York City, where she studied her medicine and finished her residency. Thinking about it now, Thursday next week it will be a year since she's been in National City. It feels like a long time since her move, considering that she's already engaged with someone she met here. The 27 year-old dedicated trauma surgeon, met her fiance Maggie Sawyer through her older sister's girlfriend Lucy Lane.
Susan Vasquez Danvers is a 30 year-old advanced law professor at National City University and Maggie works as a lawyer at the same firm as Lucy. Alex, met Maggie, a week after her move, a month later they were already dating and six months later they were engaged. Alex, is happy. She lives near her sister, she lives with her fiance, their mother visits them almost every month and her bestfriend, Lena Luther, is in the process of moving to National City to takeover her family business here.
It's Wednesday afternoon and it's been a slow day at the hospital today, she's doing paper work in her office. She was so focused on her work that she jumped at the ringing of her phone. She picked it up and looked at the screen, it's a private number. "Danvers" she answered hesitant.
"Uhm Mrs. Danvers, My name's Jane Carey, I'm calling from Sharp Memorial Hospital. Your wife's just admitted here with a dislocated shoulder and minor concussion and a few scratches on her face. You're the only person available, her mother is out of town. If you can hurry to the hospital the doctor will finish operating on her shoulder soon." By the time Jane, finished her rumble Alex, was entering the reception. Phone still on her ear, "what the hell Jane!? What happened to Maggie? Where's she? Why wasn't I paged earlier? And It's still Miss Danvers, by the way."
"Doctor Danvers? You're the Mrs. Danvers? It's not Maggie in there, it's Mrs. Kara Danvers, your wife?" If you say Jane, is confused right now, well it's an understatement. What confuses her worse is Alex's own confused look. Before Alex, can form an answer, three people entered the reception running and stopped in front of help desk. It's two boys and one brunette haired girl. "Hi, we're here to see our friend, she's the victim of the mob going on downtown, the other friend of us told us she was taken here." The white, shorter man said between deep breaths. "Her name's Kara Grant age 26." Said the dark skinned taller man. "I'm Nia, this is Winn and James. Can we please see Kara." The girl introduced and asked calmly.
"Well good afternoon Miss Nia, I'm Jane and this is Dr. Danvers..." Nia, gasped and look at Alex, with wide eyes as if recognizing her or perhaps she does. "Uhm Welcome to Sharp Memorial. Your friend is in good hands here, but I can't tell you anything else as it will be against the rules, but Dr. Danvers here will be the one deciding you see her or not." Jane, explained very aware of the sort of recognition running through Nia's face. Alex, noticed it too, "do we know each other?" She asked, suspiciously and confused by the girl's reaction. "No no I.. I just know of Dr. V-D, uhm... the Dr. Danvers, the professor at NCU. I didn't know she has a sister, or owh ow you're her wife? D.. do you know of her right?...." Nia, stammered out. Jane, stifled a laugh that was threatening to come out, James and Winn looked at their friend wide eyed and Alex, look at the girl shocked with raised eyebrows, "perhaps I should marry Maggie sooner than I planned to if I'm being called someone's wife twice in just less than 30 minutes." She thought.
Alex, grimaced at the thought that this girl think she's married to her big sister. Jane let out a chuckle and said, "professor Danvers is Dr. Danvers's sister."
"Sorry" Nia, said shyly. Nia wondered not for the first time if these Danvers women in National City are related to a certain Danvers in New York City.
"""""(Nia Knows of an Alexandra Lindsay Danvers, because she's the one keeping safe the copy of a marriage contract of Kara and Alexandra Danvers, with their id numbers and signatures and the signatures of the unknown witnesses. The contract is dated 21 of June 2018. Nia, vividly remember that day. It was their last night in Nevada, Las Vegas, they would be returning back to National City the next morning. She vividly remembers a girl with a long wavy brown hair stumbled out of the bar with her bestfriend laughing like they have known each other forever. Nia, remembers calling after her friend to "play it safe" and her friend winking at her.
Nia, remembers opening the door of their hotel room for her friend the next morning and Kara, stripping off her jeans and jumped to the bed. "Kara, we are leaving in 3 hours, you better collect your things now." Nia, had said. "Do, it I will do your laundry for a week." Kara, said covering her head with blankets. "You better keep your word Grant, here drink this and sleep I will wake you an hour before we have to leave." Nia, handed two pills and a glass of water to her friend to help ease the hangover.
Nia, packed their things, she wandered how their other friends are doing, Winn, had left with some guy last night and James came to the hotel with to girls. She hopes they're all safe too. When she picked the jean that Kara, had carelessly throw off, the pieace of paper dropped off from the back pocket of Kara's jean. Curiously, she picked the paper thinking maybe her friend had won few numbers last night. She open the paper and scanned it, she gasped and scan the paper again slower this time. "Grant, what have you done?" Nia, whispered not believing her eyes. She looked at the bed to her snoring friend, "Kara, what have you done?" She repeated loudly this time. Nia, rushed to the bed and rudely uncovered her sleeping friend. "What the heck is wrong with you?" Kara, snapped blindly pulling the blankets over her head, but Nia, catches her hand before she succeeded. "Come on Nal, my head is killing me."
"What have you done Kara?, What did you do last night!?" Nia, asked
"I didn't kill anyone, I probably poisoned myself with alcohol to the point that I couldn't even unzip the jeans of the beautiful girl I wanted to fuck and I ended up cuddled her the whole night and left her alone in her sleep this morning and come back here." Kara, sleepily finished her rumble. "Seems like you also married the beautiful girl." Nia, said sarcastically...)"""""
"Alright, I'm going to check with my colleagues and see if you can see your friend. For now, you can seat there." Alex, said effectively interrupting Nia's thoughts. The three friends noded and went to sit. "Why are two people, assuming I'm someone's wife in just less than 30 minutes? Why did you call me?" Alex, asked.
"I call because you are the next of kin of Kara Grant Danvers. It seems like you are automatically added as her spouse in the system, because when I looked to her file, her next of kin is her mother only, who I can not get hold of and resulted in me checking in the system and found your contacts. Alexandra Lindsay Danvers, birthday 10 April 1993?" Jane, asked.
"Yes" Alex, confirmed. "Unless you've have a clone and happen to share names and id's and apparently the cell numbers too." Jane, said.
Alex, reached the OR, when the nurses wheeling Kara's bed back to her ward. She saw the glimpses of blond her and thought, "Well blondie, a very opposite of my usually girls."
"Dr. Williams, how is she doing, any complications I should worry about?" Alex, asked the other doctor as he left the OR. "The shoulder has been returned in its place, minor concussion and few stitches on her face. She should be fine when she wakes up except the little pain in her shoulder of cause. Anyway we should send her home tomorrow if nothing changes." Dr. Williams, answers automatically. "Ok, thanks Doc." Alex, said following the direction of the nurses wheeling her "wife" apparently." Alex, was curious as mush as she was confused.
"Do you happen to know her?" Dr. Williams, asked like it was an after thought. Alex, didn't think she answered distracted, "wife." The other doctor looked at her shocked. "I thought, you were engaged to a certain brunette lawyer, not the Princess of the media, her mother being the Queen of the media of cause."
"Just kidding" Alex, said leaving the other doctor shaking his head. "Owh my! So my "wife" is Cat Grant's daughter, apparently in the spotlight too." Alex, thought.
Alex, entered the room Kara's in, the nurses has already left the patient to her sleep. She take a look at Kara's patient book with doctor's notes and noticed that the girl will wake up in a few minutes from now with a massive headache. She went to stand next to the bed and look at the peacefully sleeping girl. Alex's heartbeat quickened, the other woman was gorgeous even with the stitches and scratches on her face. "What happened to you princess?" She thought. Few minutes later dark blue eyes stared directly to Alex's brown ones, startled Alex, jumped back like she's being electrocuted for a moment before she gained her composure. "Good afternoon. I'm Dr. Danvers, how are you feeling?" Alex, asked avoiding eye contact with the other girl, as she fishes her penlight reflex from her coat pocket. She checked for any signs of concussion in the girl's eyes. Happy, she grabbed the pain killers and gave them to the blue eyed beauty and the glass of water.
"I'm Kara Grant. What is yours doctor?"
"Dr. Danvers." She answered backing to the door.
"If I say, I'm Kara Danvers, would you tell me your first name?."
"I would tell your doctor to extend your nights here, clearly my penlight reflex is faulty and you are still suffering from concussion." Alex, said trying not to smirk at girl's widening eyes.
"I thought you were my doctor?"
"No, I'm not. Your friends are here, I'm going to call them in and you will have 10 to 30 minutes with them. I need you to rest."
Kara, noded dumbfounded.
"We couldn't get hold of your mother, but we left the message, anyone else you want us to call or anything else you want?" The Dr. Asked
"I woke up with you looking at me and you have been avoiding looking at me since then, why?" Kara, asked.
Alex, raised her eyebrows at her, "I have been looking at you, that's how I know you will spend 5 more days here. Goodbye, I will check on you later Kara Grant-Danvers."
Alex, said and slip out the door, leaving behind a gaping blue eyed blonde.
