Alex Danvers x Reader

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Alex, I might need a rain check on that date." You peeked around the corner to they and see where all the CADMUS Agents were hiding. You quickly ducked back when they began to fire at you though. Alex heard the sound of bullets and began to panic.

"(Y/N) what is going on?" You could hear the slight panic in her voice that she had tried to disguise. 

"Well it turns out that this might have been a trap. CADMUS Agents ambushed us. We are kind of trapped right now. Just thought you should know that we are going to have to out a hold on the date tonight." You tried to stay calm knowing that you were about to give your life to try and save your fellow agents. 

"(Y/N) don't you fucking dare. I have back up headed your way right now. ETA is 45 minutes." She was no longer trying to conceal the panic. You felt tears begin to flood your eyes. There was no way your team would be able to hold your position for 45 minutes. The CADMUS Agents were closing in on you and your team.

"I love you Alex never forget that alright. You have made these past years of my life from the day I met you to the day when we finally got married the best years of my life." You could feel yourself getting chocked up. You were trying to be strong for her and your team.

"You promised (Y/N). Please please please dont break your promise please. I need you and I just... you just need to hold your position for a little bit longer alright." Alex begged you. It broke your heart to hear her so panicked and distraught. 

"Thank you for being the best girlfriend and wife that a person could hope for Alex. I love your forever and always." You quickly cut off contact with her after saying that. You couldn't stand hearing her beg you. It was causing cracks in your heart. You turned back to your team and you could see the pain in their eyes. You were their family and they knew what you were about to do. You couldn't risk them ending up more injured than they already were though. You were the team leader and it was your job to keep them safe. The back up should arrive in time for them to rescue and save your team mates.

"Thank you for being the best team and the best family an Agent could hope to have. When you see Alex tell her that I'm sorry and that I'm gonna take a rain check on our date.

Alex started screaming into her ear piece but she could no longer hear you. 

"(Y/N)! Agent (L/N)! Answer! This is an order! GOD DAMMIT (Y/N)! ANSWER ME!" Alex began to break down. Everyone around her stared in shock. They had never seen her like this before. 

"Winn get Supergirl on route to their location now!" Alex screamed the panic and fear clear in her voice. Winn immediately got into contact with Kara and when Winn explained what he knew about the situation Kara shoot off on her way to where you were. 

"She's on her way Alex. She will make it in time. She will save them." Winn tried to reassure Alex but she was inconsolable. All the other Agents watched their Director break down. The pain in their eyes clear as they knew if she lost you she would never be the same. Neither would they. You had made friends with nearly everyone at the DEO. They all considered you family and knowing that they may lose not only you but also their director caused pain in all of their hearts.

You had no idea that Kara was on her way. All you knew was that you needed to do this to save your team. You rolled out from behind your hiding space and began to fire at every single agent you could see. In the beginning it seemed like you might actually be able to escape from this without any life threatening injuries. You had always had perfect aim. Every bullet landing perfectly between the CADMUS Agents eyes. You kept trying to duck and hide between anything and everything you could. You had managed to advance on them slightly and had taken out 12 of them before you felt the first bullet pierce your skin. You quickly dropped down behind the container you had been using as shelter. After that you became sloppy. You were losing blood too quickly and it was making you lightheaded and dizzy. You began to feel multiple bullets pierce your skin. You were littered with bullet holes. You honestly had no idea how many times you had been shot but you knew the amount of blood you had lost wasn't good. You had managed to take out enough of the CADMUS Agents to Gove your team a fighting chance until backup could arrive. You stayed ducked behind the container with your back against it. You began to cough and you could taste the blood in your mouth. You made brief eye contact with your team and gave them a small shaky smile. You felt like you couldn't breathe. You had closed your eyes and began to feel yourself when you heard shouts of fear from the CADMUS Agents and shouts of hope from your team. 

"Where are they? Wheres (Y/N)?" You heard someone who's voice sounded familiar ask with panic and fear in their voice. All of your Agents were crowded around you. You guess they had come to you when whoever had arrived took out the rest of the CADMUS Agents.

"Right here Supergirl. They need immediate medical attention." You heard one of your agents, Serena you think, say. Kara felt her heart drop out of her stomach as she saw the shape you were in. If it wasn't for here super-hearing she would have thought you were dead. 

"We will be ok. We can wait for backup but they won't make it waiting that long." Kara nodded her head before picking you up as gently as she could and taking off. You ended up passing out on the flight to the DEO.

You groaned quietly as you began to feel yourself wake up. You opened your eyes and immediately regretted it when all you saw was bright white lights. You immediately shut your eyes. You began to try and figure out exactly where you were and what had happened. You felt a weight on your hand and slowly opened your eyes, letting them adjust to the light before looking at where the weight was coming from. Your heart ached at the sight that greeted you. Alex had your hand in a death grip in her sleep. She had her head laying on your arm and you could see the dried tear stains on her face. You began to lift up your other hand to run your fingers through her hair but winced and whimpered out at the pain it caused you. It seemed that was enough to wake up Alex. She looked confused for a brief moment before her eyes met yours and then the tears began to flow. 

"Do you have any idea how close I came to losing you today. Your heart stopped so many times the doctors almost stopped trying to revive you. You lost so much blood its a miracle that you are even here right now. The doctors said that there is no logical explanation for how you are alive." You felt your heart break as she began to completely break down. You comforted her as best as you could but every tiny movement hurt and you were hooked up to a shit ton of wires.

"I'm sorry. I know that doesn't fix anything but I am truly sorry Alex." You rasped out. You felt the tears begin to fall down your face. Alex shook her head before she leaned towards you. You could barely feel her lips against yours and then she was leaning back.

"I know that this work is dangerous. I also know why you did what you did. But (Y/N) I cant lose you. I wouldn't be able to survive losing you. I know that sounds dramatic and it may seem like I'm over exaggerating but I'm not. I wouldn't be able to make it in this world without you by my side." You felt ashamed of yourself. You should've thought through your plan more. You should've known that she would send Supergirl your way. If you had just waited a little bit longer you would've been ok. You grinned your teeth as you felt pissed at yourself. 

"I'm sorry Alex. I should've waited and talked to you about a better plan of action. I promise from now on I will be as safe as someone can possibly be and yes I know that I won't be going back out into the field again. Not after the injuries I sustained from this last mission. I know I won't be able to pass the physical exam or possibly even the mental exam. I don't even care about that though. All I care about is you. Making sure that I am never the cause of your pain again. I love you Alex and I'm so sorry." Alex gave you a small watery smile and you returned it with one of your own. You knew that not only you but also Alex had a long road of recovery ahead of the both of you. At the moment though it didn't mattered. All that mattered was that you had been given another chance and you weren't going to waste it.
