Don't you go evade me now
Whatever Maggie was lying down on, it was extremely comfortable. Opening her eyes required more strength than she could muster at the moment, so she decided on paying attention to everything she could hear. Machines were beeping and voices were hushed - but she didn't feel as defensive as she thought she should have been under the circumstances. It didn't occur to her to think back and try and remember how she got wherever she was - she was too drowsy to remember - besides - deciphering it this way seemed more natural to her.
Ever the detective.
Turning her head to her side, with her eyes still shut tight, Maggie could make out two people talking in low voices. She couldn't quite make out any words - but the sounds themselves were quite clear to her. One was a voice she loved to hear - clear, authoratative yet so full of love. Alex. Her heart stumbled at that realization - that Alex - amazing, beautiful Alex was right there, near here but seemed so far.
Will she talk to me? Why won't she talk to me? Danvers - I'm sorry.
The second voice was a bit harder for Maggie to make out. It sounded extremely familiar - yet it was terribly confusing. It felt like something impossible to consider - as if two people had the exact same voice and manner of talking.
Is that Kara or Super-?
The realization hit Maggie hard enough to jolt her awake, but her eyes still remained stubbornly shut. She wasn't droopy anymore. Her mind was racing - piecing together everything she could think off.
It's Kara. It's KARA. How did you not figure that one!?
No wonder Batman always spoke 2 octaves lower.
It was as flooding back to Maggie - escaping out of the Cadmus holding cells and - You told her sister. YOU TOLD HER SISTER!
It took Maggie a while to mentally calm down after that, she did fall back asleep a few times as well before being woken up by someone gently rubbing their hand on the side of her face.
"Maggie? You okay? You've been out long enough."
Alex.
She knew it was unquestionably teenage of her - but every time she knew Alex was near her - she felt so gleeful and happy, quite like a very faithful puppy.
"You took a lot of bad hits so I had to sedate you quite strongly - but you should be good in a while."
It took Maggie a few tries, but she managed to open her eyes. Alex hovering over her face - slowly brushing her hair aside was such a welcome sight, Maggie couldn't stop herself from smiling so wide- her dimples showing.
"You okay?" Alex inquired, stopping to look intently at Maggie, holding her breath.
"I'll be fine Danvers." Maggie groaned out as cheerily as she could, hoping that Alex would smile back at her, and ecstatic in her heart when she saw Alex softly smile back at her in relief.
Maggie was soon realizing what Alex was talking about though. Her whole body hurt as she came to her senses- her ribs, her knee- her left hand. Alex was intent on giving her a full checkup - and Maggie was quite prepared to let her - that was till she saw Kara-Supergirl Supergirl? make her way to her bed.
Oh no. OH no. OH NO.
Kara seemed to be back in shape in her Supergirl outfit - ready to fight and her usual self - and was skipping slightly as she approached Maggie and Alex. She didn't waste any time and went straight to the attack.
"Alex! I think Maggie had something she wanted to say to you." Kara beamed, school-girlish as ever and grinning mischievously. Alex looked up from her tablet which she had just been keying in - first glanced from Kara to Maggie - and Maggie knew she had to think fast.
"Yeah, looks like you're not the only badass to save Supergirl." Maggie managed, with all the coolness and smugness she could manage. Alex chuckled at that and left the quarantine bay of the DEO, while Kara glared at Maggie.
"I'm pretty sure you had something else to say." Kara began, her voice suppressing her anger.
"Now that I'm alive - it does seem rather, stupid don't you think?" Maggie replied back, overcome with sadness for some reason.
"And I'm back to hating you guts!" Kara muttered, exasperated at Maggie's behavior. Kara was just on the verge of stomping out of the room to find Alex and explain it all to her, when Maggie called out to her.
"Kara!"
For a second, Kara stopped right where she was - her mind quickly noting that Maggie had found out her secret. Taking that in, she turned as dramatically as she could to face Maggie, who was gritting her teeth at the pain. Whether physical or emotional - she couldn't really say.
"Please don't tell Alex." Maggie pleaded, her heart thumping fast - she was sure that Kara would be able to make it out.
Kara considered it for a moment - but then replied Maggie before walking out of the room- leaving her alone with her pain.
"I already did."
