High School {A Supergirl FanFic}

Chapter 23: Making Amends

Alex POV

The days started to blend together. Mom said today was Friday when she visited earlier but I wouldn't of known that. To me it was still Tuesday, the day... the day...

My eyes started to swell up with tears at the memory. I took a deep breath and looked at her.

"The day I let this happen to you." I whispered to her.

I talked to Maggie a lot. Every time I desperately hope for a response and every time I'm let down. When I do talk to her I tell her everything. I tell her about how Kara is doing. I tell her what I did that day and how I felt. And I always, always, told her if we caught her dad yet or not. I tell her I want to be out there hunting him with the rest but J'onn won't let me leave her side. Which is understandable and I'm grateful to him for that but at the same time I want to bring this son of a bitch to justice.

Maggie seemed to be doing okay. Or at least, she wasn't getting any worse. Her face might've gotten a little paler and her abs are slowing starting to fade. I laughed a little.

"Remember that Mags? I came back from camp with abs and something in you sparked. You worked out everyday for hours to 'increase your abs power'. I told you you were just jealous and shouldn't be but every time you'd say it was training to become a detective in your future." I said through laughs.

But my laughter grew quiet when Maggie didn't complain once again that it was training. I gripped her hand right.

"Maggie please wake up. You've been in a coma for days now." I said desperately.

I watched her body closely. I needed anything. A flutter of the eyes, a twitch of her hand. Suddenly, another memory surfaced.

"Remember our official second date? We had hung out everyday for weeks before it so I don't know why I was so nervous. We were practically a thing by then but for some reason we held back from labels. We went to some Italian restaurant and got kicked out for having a sword fight with bread sticks." I felt tears start to fill my eyes as I let out a little laugh. "I thought the night was over. But you took my hand and we walked in the park until we found a good spot to lay down and stare at the stars. After a little you heard me crying and asked what was wrong. I told you I was different and you deserved better than me. I felt like a piece of garbage and you were the earth, I was just polluting you. But you grabbed my arms and looked me dead in the eyes and said, 'Alex your extraordinary. Everyone is a little different and that's okay. And you... your my sort of different'. Then you pulled me into your arms and you just held me as I cried on your shoulder. After awhile we pulled away and you gently placed your hand on my cheek and said I love you. In the moment Maggie... in that very moment, I knew I was going to be with you for the rest of my life." I finished.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

"Danvers." I answered.

"Alex. We got him." the familiar voice of Kara said.

I hung up immediately and looked at Maggie. The sadness had subsided. All the pent up anger I had been holding down had surfaced. And guess what? I'm fucking pissed.

"WHERE IS HE?!" I yelled as I stormed into the DEO.

All the agents silently looked around at each other, looking at each other for how to answer me. I don't have time for this. I pushed my way through towards our containment section. It was actually rather large. When you first walk in all you see is 3 different holding cells and 2 interrogation rooms. If you walked past all of that there was a large, heavy steel door. Inside there were several jail cells. Each and every cell and the interrogation rooms were equipped with power dampeners.
