(Y/n) marched back into the DEO determined, she needed to find her cousin and she needed to find her now.
So far she was having no luck.
"Superwoman." Sara ran behind her, the smaller woman rushing to keep up with (Y/n)'s long strides. "Wait."
" What is it Sara, I need to find Supergirl. "
"She isn't here she had something to deal with she never says what." The blonde woman shrugged.
" Dammit. " She looked around hoping that she would find Kara suddenly appear from somewhere, she wasn't in luck.
"(Y/n) I need to talk to you." Sara pulled her to the corner of the room away from any prying eyes.
" What is it jeez Sara. " She complained.
"Your little enemy is around here somewhere." She said mysteriously.
" My mother, what the hell is she doing here? She doesn't even know this place exists. "
"No, Detective Sawyer."
( Y/n) tried to smother the surging emotions that were rising within her, she remembered the joint promise she and Alex had made, she had to remember that even more when she saw both of them walking down the hall towards them together, talking.
"Dammit, they are coming this way." ( Y/n) fumed.
"Just don't act all jealous and crazy she will know she has something over on you." Sara pointed at her hoping that she would listen.
" Got it. "
"Superwoman what are you doing here alone with the tiny bird?" Alex glared at them.
" I am not a tiny bird. " Sara defended herself.
"I brought the info to Alex about the missing women she is going to be working with us on this." Maggie smiled.
No fucking way in hell is that happening!
"My Dad asked for your help did he, Alex?"
" Of course he didn't he doesn't know Alex works here unless you have told him. " Maggie accused.
(Y/n) scowled. "I would never tell anyone anything that was private for my girlfriend Detective Sawyer."
" Yet you brought your little girlfriend here quite quickly. " She pointed to Sara who frowned.
"Actually that was Supergirl, not me."
" More importantly she is not her girlfriend. " Alex finally spoke with an exaggerated sigh.
"Oh yes I remember now, she stole my girlfriend instead." Maggie glared at her.
" Nope, you are wrong actually because it was you who stole mine, I merely was the better woman and won her heart back from a cruel little goblin. "
"Oh wow, yes epic burn." Sara laughed excitedly clapping her hands together.
"Can we worry more about the women going missing?" Maggie asked trying to get the high ground but failing.
" You started it. " Sara shrugged.
Alex had grown tired of the audience, she smiled at her girlfriend. "Can we talk."
(Y/n) moved away from the group Alex following closely behind her when they got far enough away she turned around to face her.
"You know you can trust me," Alex said softly.
" I want to but last ti... "
Alex didn't give her time to finish she moved closer placing a kiss on her lips.
"Last time is gone, remember what we said about moving on and not looking back."
(Y/n) sighed sadly. "Please don't leave me again Alex I'm not sure I could take a second blow."
" I'm going nowhere, no one would dare try to break us apart. "
(Y/n) smiled throwing her arms around her neck and embracing her, burying her head in her neck she took in her scent.
"Are you sniffing me?" Alex laughed.
" Shut up you do it all the time. " She protested holding her tighter.
"Oh (Y/n) if you knew how much I loved you, you'd never be afraid I'd leave you, you are my whole heart, without you, I'd die."
" Sure, you're like the strongest person I know, you'd survive. "
"Surviving is not the same thing as living (Y/n)."

"Did you ask Alex about the double date?" Lena asked lifting her head from the pile of papers in front of her, she had brought her work home with her tonight instead of staying alone in her office.
"Gosh no I forgot." ( Y/n) held her hand over her mouth.
"Bruce is coming to town in a few days, so it's going to be then."
"I'll ask her."
"What is wrong?"
(Y/n) sighed her talk with Alex had eased her worries a little but she still had that doubt in her mind that fear of it happening all over again. "Alex is working on the missing women case with Maggie ."
" Aww I see and now you are worrying that it will happen all over again. " Lena said knowingly.
"Yes, I know its stupid but I really don't trust that Maggie woman I don't want her touching Alex." She cringed at the very thought.
"Or this could be what you need to see if you can trust her."
" I do trust Alex but the Sawyer woman not at all if you saw how smug she was that day. "
"I saw it." Lena held her hand up, she'd never forget that day for as long as she lived.
" So you really think this could be good? " (Y/n) asked doubting it could work in her favor.
"Yes I do if she can survive working with her then you know that Maggie Sawyer is no longer a threat."
" Hmm maybe. "
"Just think about it (Y/n) do you worry about anyone else?" Lena asked putting down her work and coming to sit next to her.
(Y/n) shrugged. "No, no one."
"See if Alex can do this and still nothing happens, then you can wipe this fear from your mind, because surely if there was something still there then they would be at it as soon as they were out of sight right?"
(Y/n) paled at the image. "Yes thank you very much for that image." She sighed she still had to find Kara to tell her about her mother. "I gotta go try and track Supergirl, my Mom is going crazy again, only this time she kinda creeped me out."
"What do you mean?" Lena asked her eyes darting around her.
"I don't know it was the things she said, something about me being stronger and knowing how to get me on side."
Lena stared at her, her mouth opening wider as she gazed. "Err..."
"Oh well I'll tell Supergirl she'll know what to do."

(F/n) sat in his office darkness had overtaken the city hours ago, he should have been home he moved his tired red bloodshot eyes to the pictures on his desk, running his finger along the cheek of his wife, even in a normal photo she pouted.
He smiled affectionately, she was so unlike Kharys, hard but underneath everything she had a great heart, she just tried to hide it, he wondered sometimes whether his first wife had had one, he could never have left (Y/n), not for anything.
She smiled at him now, her (e/c) eyes shining like big diamonds that captured an innocent light and made his heart warm at the sight.
She is hiding something though.
His daughter never kept secrets, she was an open book even when going back to date Alex she had been open with him, despite his disappointment.
As if he had summoned the woman there she stood at his door, Maggie Sawyer beside her, he narrowed his eyebrows at the image that conjured up an alarming feeling of deja vu.
"Sir I brought in Agent Danvers I thought we could use her on this."
"Did you really." He said cautiously. "I want to speak with Agent Danvers alone."
Maggie nodded. Okay, Sir."
Moving away, Alex stepped into the room alone. closing the door when he motioned for her to do just that, she stood before him intensely nervous, his eyes boring into her.
"Does my daughter know about this?"
"Yes, Sir."
"And what does this mean Agent Danvers because I trust you as much as I would trust a puppy around a cake."
Alex'd face reddened. "(Y/n) knows I am doing this Sir, and she believes in me."
(F/n) raised an eyebrow. "Interesting, Danvers the fact you are not a man hinders me somewhat if I give the ancient line, hurt my daughter again and I will kill you, that sounds rather threatening, but I will say it anyway, my daughter doesn't give second chances ever, the very fact you have been graced with this is a miracle if you ruin it and hurt her you will have reason to fear me, do you understand me?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good, remember Danvers."
"There is no need to tell me to remember Sir, I asked for a second chance because I love your daughter I made a mistake but I'll be damn certain never to mess up again, even if I die trying."
The man leaned backward, pursing his lips in thought, moving his fingers through the few days worth of beard on his face making a light scratching sound. "Talk is cheap Danvers."
"I know."
"Good."
