Alex's POV:

My name is Alexandra Danvers and I am a Sergeant Major In the US Marines. I've been in the marines since I was 18 and I'm now 28. I also went to school while I was in the Marines and I have my MD and PHD, so I'm not just a soldier I'm also a doctor. I've just gotten back to California this morning, I've been out in Afghanistan for the last 5 years. I haven't been home in the last 8 years but I'm finally home for the foreseeable future due to my injury that I suffered last week. Our humvee got blown up by a land mine and I flew out of the car and landed on my back and hit my head pretty hard. I shattered my tibia, broke my opposite arm, I have a concussion and several bruised and fractured or broken ribs. My best friend Lucy Lane decided to fly home with me to make sure that I was ok, she took personal leave for about 2 weeks then she is going back out. Lucy helps me out of the airport as we get cheered on by others in the airport for our services. We walk out to my shiny black and matte black Camaro ZL 1 and put our stuff in the truck and I get in the car while Lucy drives us to my place.

Lu: Nice car Danvers!!!!!

Al: Thanks Luce, but it's not the only one, I have 3 others and my ducatti

Lu: Damn Danvers

Al: I know

Lu: Does Kara know that you are back?

Al: No and she doesn't know that you are back either

Lu: She's gonna blow when she finds out

Al: True, I haven't been home since my second year and you've never been back to National City since we enlisted, you went to go see Lois and Clark

Lu: That I did, is it also ok if I stay with you till I go back, I don't want to go to my place all the way downtown for two weeks, plus that would be just too hard, too many things that remind me of jimmy there

Al: It's fine Luce it's not a problem. Of course you can stay at my place and I'm sorry about you and Jimmy though he was a great guy

Lu: (smiles) Thanks Danvers, and he was but it seemed like he just couldn't handle my military career, it was too much for him especially with me rarely coming home

Al: Oh the wonders of the job huh

Lu: You got that right Danvers

We continue the almost hour ride to my place from the airport as I contemplate calling Kara and my mom to let them know that I'm back in National City. I decide to put it off for now, I'm not really up for my mom's overbearing concern because I'm hurt and Kara's cheery peppy mood, I just want to be alone for a while and I'm pretty sure Lucy can sense that so she doesn't push me to talk or anything the whole way home. We get to my place and grab our stuff the Lucy carries hence I'm on crutches and we head up, I walk in my apartment and I'm hit with a smell that I instantly recognize it smells like Maggie. Me and Maggie have been together for 8 1/2 years, I met her when I came home on leave my second year in the Marines. Were not married or engaged yet but it's somewhere down the line in the near future for us. As I'm lost in thought I don't hear a third person walk in the living room from my bedroom till I hear the click of a gun.

Ma: NCPD who's there? (comes around the corner to see Alex and Lucy)

Maggie comes out with her gun pointed at me till she looks to see who it is and when she sees that it is me she drops the gun on the table and runs over to me and hugs me hard in which I grunt in pain and she let's me go apologizing. Lucy making her way to the guest room after dropping my things by the door, she knows where it is and this isn't her first time staying here either.
