Her ears were ringing,
Her vision was blurry,
And everything around her just seemed to be background,
Today started of normal she woke up, had breakfast, kissed and said goodbye to her gf as she left for work. She clocked in, went on a few patrol calls and everything was going as normal until a call came in about a bar fight at a local drinking spot. Maggie and her partner arrived on scene, separated the fight and arrested one of the fighters for drunken nuisance. Then the arrested man ripped out the handcuffs and transformed into an alien of some sort.
People were running and screaming and fleeing and that’s when it hit.
A wave of nausea, a loud ringing in her ears and a loud gust of wind along with a shake of the ground.
Supergirl arrived and was taking down the savage alien as Maggie’s hands raced to her ears as she attempted to squeeze all outside noise out of her mind. Maggies knees buckled as she fell to floor. Her vision blurry, the loud ringing in her ears, the consistent headache pounding at the back of her head and her NCPD jacket way too tight.
way too tight.
She discarded her jacket but then it was her almost turtleneck shirt she chose to brave and wear that same morning. She was scratching at the neckline trying to get some sort of air into her lungs and the shirt just molded to her back as the sweat trickled until she felt gentle hands place themselves on her shoulders. Throughout her blurred vision she could just about make out Kara’s red and blue supergirl suit. She was saying something probably to try and calm Maggie as her panicked breaths were on the verge of hyperventilation.
Before she knew it she was in Kara’s arms with the cold air filtering around her body, she assumed she was flying through the air but without a clear vision and mind it was hard to tell. She felt a thud as she landed. Kara holding up more than half of Maggies body weight as she knocked on the door.
Alex opened the door in a long sleeved top and baggy pj bottoms, as it was her one of very few days of from the DEO, Face full of realisation as she knew exactly what was happening. She had noticed something sort of off with Maggie this morning as she was very quiet and some sort of isolated, which was unlike Maggie.
“Maggie oh my god, Kara what happened.”
“I’m not sure she was the scene of a rampaged alien when I arrived and she was on the floor and seemed to not understand what I was saying or what was going on so I just flew her home to you.” Kara blurted out worried.
“Thank you Kara I’ve got her don’t worry.” Alex said as she immediately scooped Maggie up into her arms bridal style as she knew Maggie could not walk due to this happening several times before.
Alex closed the door and carried Maggie all the way to the living room before depositing her panicking gf on the couch.
Alex observed as Maggies hands stayed clamped to her ears, sweat trickling down her forehead, eyes bolted shut and her hair a mess due to the flying part.
“Maggie sweetie, hey hey. It’s okay I’m here” Alex softly reassured Maggie and she sat down next to her on the couch.
Gently placing her hands on Maggies shoulders and pulling her into a tight hug as they both leaned back against the soft cushioning of the couch.
Stroking and playing with Maggies hair whilst whispering reassurance to her Maggie continued to whimper and soon tears began to fall out of her clamped shut eyes.
“Hey hey Maggie your alright my love.” Alex said as she slowly sat up with Maggie still in her arms as she slowing moved Maggie until she was sitting sideways on her lap.
“Shh your good my love” Alex wiped Maggies tears away and carefully moved Maggies hands away from her ears until they were clamped in between Alex’s.
Maggie fell until her body was rested against Alex’s front and her head dropped onto her gfs shoulder and Alex leant back once again against the couch.
Alex hugged and continued stroking her gfs hair until her breathing slowed and her whimpering stopped along with the tears and violent shaking.
She peered down and realised Maggie was fast asleep in her arms.
“That’s it my love you rest” Alex whispered as she carefully picked up her unconscious gf, bridal style once again, and slowly carried her into the bedroom and placed her down on the bed. She carefully changed Maggie out of her tight shirt, leather bottoms and combat boots into something more comfortable and rearranged her until she was situated under the covers wrapped up like a sick baby.
Alex got into bed with her gf and wrapped an arm around Maggies waist. Alex kissed Maggies shoulder as she whispered
“I’ve got you my love it was just a bad day.”
