"Don't pick it up, you can let the DEO be Danvers-less for tonight, a night off will do you good" Maggie Said softly

'But it won't be" Alex replied curtly

"What? 'Asked a slightly confused Maggie

"It won't be Danvers-less, Kara will be there and she is a Danvers" Alex said slightly more forcefully than she had meant to.

Maggie didn't know how to respond, at first she was taken aback by the sharpness in Alex's voice.

Then her mind slowly worked through the words, of course Kara was a Danvers but in Maggie's mind Kara Danvers didn't work for the DEO Supergirl did. Supergirl in all her flying, bullet proof superhero glory. Then suddenly Maggie's brain did what Alex's must have done all along, it shifted and Supergirl and Kara Danvers became the same person. Maggie knew she loved Alex even if it was a little too soon to say so out loud and along with that came caring deeply about Kara. It wasn't hard either the kid was a freaking ray of golden sunshine, it would have been harder to not care about her. They hadn't been in her lifelong but she knew to be happy she needed the Danvers sisters to be safe and happy too. Her mind had wrapped around Alex's job fairly easily it wasn't that different from her own. However she never thought about how freaking Kara Danvers flew into burning buildings on purpose, she got in front of bullets, and flew bombs out of the city. Once that switch flipped it only took about 20 seconds from being blissfully unaware to in a state of medium panic.

"Maggie are you okay, I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound so harsh I just said something to Kara earlier that I shouldn't have," Alex replied looking closely at Maggie

"Kara is Supergirl" Maggie said matter of factly

"You knew that Maggie, are you okay, you look a little pale" Alex asked with concern

"Little. Kara. Danvers. is Supergirl oh no, no way, nope not okay, but when and then that one time, and then there was that, what, no, nope ,I forbid it , we can't have this, you have to tell her to stop" Maggie said quickly

"Stop what, Maggie slow down are you okay?" Alex mimicked breathing trying to bring Maggie back to her.

"Kara, we have to stop her from being Supergirl like right now, do you know how dangerous the crap Supergirl pulls is, she intentionally heads toward danger, she's flown a bomb out of this city at least two times that I know of, Little Danvers can't be doing that I can't let something happen to her" Maggie said with intent

Alex just smiled at Maggie, Maggie was suddenly experiencing things closer to how Alex had when Kara came put as Supergirl. Alex had and always would see her as Kara Danvers her adorable little sister first and even though she's a superhero who was bulletproof most of the time she would never stop seeing her that way even when she had on the suit. It had taken Alex almost a year to be okay with the Superhero thing, mostly because she knew it was what Kara needed to do and because she could be right by her side as part of the DEO. Looking at the panic in Maggie's eyes was almost like looking in a mirror for those first few months. It was so overwhelming to Alex that Maggie loved Kara this much.

"She can't be stopped Maggie, trust me I tried at first but Kara Danvers has the heart of a hero and always has. Even when she wasn't using her powers, she volunteered for every possible cause with every free moment. She has always been extraordinary kind, inherently good and extremely helpful. "

Maggie still looked unconvinced so Alex thought back to a fun story with Kara that might break the tension.

"You know there was one time I did see her act slightly closer to us earthlings. In college I was dating David Harvey pretty seriously so I brought him home for winter break to meet Kara and my Mom. I can't even honestly remembering the reason but he broke up with me at my house, it ended with me crying in my room and Kara came upstairs gave me a hug and then with this intense scowl she asked me if she could punch him in the face. If of course she held back on her powers and I swear the way she asked made me laugh so hard that I forgot why I was even upset. I just smiled at her and told her that she could punch him if she wanted, now I was thinking this is Kara she doesn't even smash bugs she wasn't actually going to follow through. Then I looked up and she was gone and I'm so bummed I didn't get to see this part because Eliza says it was epic. She marched down the stairs looked him straight in the eyes, pulled back her arm and just cold cocked him right in the nose. I came running downstairs when I heard the commotion and Eliza is apologizing to David who is cursing under his breath and Kara is looking so smug that she didn't break his nose but injured him just enough. "Alex smiled as she told the story although it caused a pang of guilt to reverb through her body recalling what she said earlier.

"But she carries bombs out of the city Alex, Little Danvers!" Maggie states with purpose.

"And it scares the crap out of me every single time" Alex replies with a soft smile

"How do you do it, because right now I don't think I can ever separate adorable Little Danvers from Supergirl?" Maggie looks at Alex

"I don't separate them, they are both Kara Danvers my baby sister." Alex states simply

"This is going to be tough isn't it "Maggie looks at Alex

"Just for a few months and then you get used to it, until a major disaster strikes and Kara flies straight toward it leaving you behind. Then you take a few years off your life stress listening to the DEO com system trying to decipher if she's okay. Then she comes home a little roughed up and you put her on a sunbed and then she smiles at you and you can't even be mad. I mean have you seen that kid smile, it could melt even the coldest of hearts" Alex says fondly

"She does have a powerful smile but I think that might be a Danvers sister trait. Also that sounds absolutely awful. It sounds like I am going to have to get a cardiologist and take up running so your little sister doesn't give me a heart attack before 40. Does she really go places without back up? Seriously can we stop that because that's insane we can sit her down and be like look little Danvers you can save the world but you aren't allowed to without backup" says a flustered Maggie

"I tell you what you can try to have that conversation, I will be there to back you up" Alex laughs

"Okay, well for now you need to go" Maggie states

"What happened to the DEO can go Danvers-less" Alex smiles slightly at her

"Kara needs back up" Maggie smiles at her

"Yes, she does, I'll see you later Sawyer" Alex says leaning in for a kiss

"Yeah I'm going with you I thought that was clear in this conversation" Maggie says standing up and re-holstering her gun

"Of course, you are" Alex smiles
