Capítulo 35: Chapter 35
Maggie and Alex walk towards the Danvers Castle hand in hand. They're stopped by one of the guards and Alex looks at his familiar face with confusion.
"Sir Alex, Sir Maggie. You're wanted by the Queen in the Throne Room." He says, his eyes shining sympathetically.
Maggie gives him a confused look. Why would he be sympathetic? Alex's face pales and she slowly continues walking, a lot more slowly and hesitantly than before.
"What's going on?" Maggie questions. "Why does your mom want to see us?"
"I may have not told her that I was going on this mission." Alex admits.
"Alex!" Maggie groans. "This is going to be the first official meeting that we're having with your parents since we started dating."
"Oops?" Alex says, wincing. "Sorry Mags."
"It's alright, Al." Maggie sighs and gives her girlfriend a smile, knowing she didn't mean to do this. "Now let's go get yelled at by your mom."
Eliza and Jeremiah are sitting on their thrones as they walk into the Throne Room. Eliza stands and rushes over when she sees them.
"Alex! Thank the Gods you're alright." She breathes out when she stops in front of them, running her hands over Alex's armor. "Are you hurt at all?"
"I'm okay, Mom."
Maggie gives her an unimpressed look, remembering how Alex was in pain as they walked here. Alex gives her a pleading expression and Maggie gives her a small nod. If it turns out to be a big injury, she's definitely telling Alex's parents. But if not, she will probably keep it to herself.
Jeremiah comes over and hugs Alex, keeping his arms loose like he knows she's hurt but won't admit it. He steps back and Alex braces herself for the incoming scolding.
"Alexandra Danvers!" Eliza snaps, making Alex flinch. Maggie winces in sympathy. Oh, full name. That isn't good. "You went out on a dangerous mission where you could've been and you didn't tell me!"
"Sorry Mom." Alex apologizes, avoiding her mother's eyes.
"You will tell me next time Alex, or I'll make sure J'onn puts you on desk duty for a month." Eliza threatens.
"Mom-"
"Alex," she cuts her off with a stern look.
"Fine," Alex relents. "Okay, I will."
Maggie squeezes Alex's hand, reminding her that she's there for her.
"Sir Maggie." Eliza says and Maggie's heart shoots up to her throat. She hopes she doesn't look as alarmed and surprised as she feels. "You'll do the same, yes? I want you both to let me know when either of you are about to go on a dangerous mission. Okay?" Alex and Maggie both nod mutely. "Good. Now Alex, go on to your room. I'd like to speak to your girlfriend."
Maggie's heart beats faster, fear and worry filling her mind. Alex stays where she is, giving Maggie a worried look. Maggie can't tell if it's because she's about to talk to her mother or if she's concerned about Maggie and the fear Alex definitely can see.
"Go ahead, Alex." Maggie says, her voice barely louder than a whisper. "I'll be okay."
"Are you sure?" Alex asks, rubbing her thumb across the back of Maggie's hand.
Maggie nods in response, not trusting her voice. Alex kisses her hand softly and squeezes Maggie's hand one last time before letting go. She walks out of the Throne Room, looking over her shoulder at them every couple of steps.
"Sir Maggie," Eliza begins.
Maggie's confused and a little thrown off by the use of her title. Usually when people tell her to fuck off or to stop 'poisoning their daughter's mind', they don't bother.
Eliza continues. "I'm aware that this is your first time talking to us since you started dating our daughter, and the first time you have talked to us alone. So I just want to say..." Maggie braces herself. She won't let herself flinch in front of the Queen of the Danvers Kingdom, even if she does end up saying horrible things like they all do. "Thank you."
That is so not what Maggie was expecting. She's so dumbfounded, so taken aback, that an unbidden "huh?" escapes her lips. Luckily, Eliza doesn't seem to notice it.
"I can honestly say that Alex has been so much more happy since you came into our lives." Eliza's eyes radiate kindness. Wait, are those tears? Nonono, Maggie sucks at dealing with crying people. "She's been in her own little box world of working at the DEO and taking care of her sister for so long, Jeremiah and I had nearly given up hope of her finding someone to spend her life with."
Wait, life? I mean yeah, Maggie wants to marry Alex in the future, but talking about it, hearing it out loud? So early in their relationship? Yeah, Maggie's panicking a bit. Because this isn't some lady from a shop mistaking them for wives, this is her girlfriend's mother saying she could see Maggie and Alex being together forever. Which Maggie is more than cool with, but it's so early. Hell, they haven't even said I love you yet. Or had sex.
"You're good for her," Eliza continues. "And I don't know you too well yet, but I like to think she's good for you too." She smiles warmly at Maggie. "Thank you for making her so happy. Thank you for helping coax her out of her shell. Thank you for taking care of her. And most of all, welcome to the Danvers family, sweetheart." Maggie's mouth opens and her eyes widen in shock. "Is it alright if we hug you?"
Maggie nods, too flabbergasted to speak. Eliza comes forward and wraps her in her arms. It's the kind of embrace that Maggie hasn't really had since she came out. A motherly, warm hug. Jeremiah embraces her too and she desperately fights back tears. Just today, her family has grown. She has been 'adopted' by not two, but three people. Her girlfriend's parents and space dad.
"Welcome to the family, Maggie." Jeremiah murmurs in her ear and her jaw trembles as she lets one tear slip down her face.
Jeremiah and Eliza pull away, looking at the newest addition to their family affectionately as she wipes away the tear making its way down her cheeks.
"Go on, I'm sure Alex is waiting for you." Jeremiah says, smiling wider when Maggie blushes.
Maggie gives Jeremiah and Eliza one last quick hug, thanking them profusely, before rushing out to go to her girlfriend.
"They remind me a little of us when we first met." Jeremiah admits to his wife.
Eliza beams at Maggie's back as she jogs towards their daughter. "I was just thinking the same thing."
Maggie dashes to Alex's room, ignoring the guards in the halls giving her alarmed looks. She walks inside, breathing heavily, to see Alex nervously pacing. Alex looks up when the door opens and they immediately fall into each other's arms.
"Hey," Alex murmurs. "What did they want?"
She rubs Maggie's back, feeling her shake as she finally lets the happy tears she has been holding back fall.
"They basically thanked me for being such an awesome girlfriend." Maggie says, resting her head on Alex's shoulder. "Then they welcomed me to the Danvers family."
Alex pulls back to look at her girlfriend in surprise, her shocked expression morphing into a beaming smile. "You're one of us now, Sawyer. You've officially been adopted by my parents J'onn. In one day. That's pretty impressive, Mags."
"Thanks, ." Maggie puts emphasis on the nickname, knowing her girlfriend would punch anyone else who says it. Instead, Alex rolls her eyes then maturely sticks out her tongue. "That's really mature," she laughs.
Alex's eyes sparkle with happiness as she retracts her tongue to grin dopily at her girlfriend. "You like me anyway, Sawyer."
"That I do," Maggie confirms, giving Alex a quick kiss to the lips.
"That's it?" Alex pouts.
"Until I finish checking your injuries out." Maggie taps Alex on the nose, causing her to smile.
"Fine. Don't get distracted by my abs, Sawyer." Alex teases.
"No promises, babe." Maggie says with a wink. Maggie helps Alex take off her surprisingly complicated armor chest piece. "What's this made of, anyway? It looks really cool."
"It's made of a polymer I created myself. If it works right, it helps absorb the strikes I don't block so it doesn't do as much damage."
"Smart," Maggie remarks.
Alex hums and sets it down on her bed. She pulls off the tank top she was wearing beneath it and Maggie's gayness level goes through the roof. Because holy crap, Alex wasn't kidding. She has the hottest abs Maggie has ever seen. And she's also too less except for her cloth bindings. Maggie fights off the urge to stare and drool and focuses instead on the dark bruise on her lower left side.
She gets down on her knees, fighting the urge to smirk when she hears Alex audibly gulp. Maggie moves closer to the bruise, frowning at it. She makes a mental note of other minor looking cuts and bruises she sees to check out afterwards.
Wow, that was... Really cute! And yeah, next chapter features doctor Maggie. Also, there'll probably be a time jump soon so Kara and Lena get there faster. Danvers sister reunion!! And I promise, Kara and Lena have a lot more time together in the story coming up, there just isn't much I can do with them traveling except having them talk about stuff. Or creating angst. Thank you for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
