The Meets

Kara

Maggie had had her fair share of meeting "the friends" and even "the family" in various stages of comfort, discomfort, fun and awkwardness over the years, or let's be honest: over the girlfriends. She had been a bit confused when she learned over the time of her friendship with Alex that she normally was a pretty shut-off person, the exception being Kara, because with Maggie she had opened up rather quickly.

So, when Maggie finally got over herself and they started dating, Maggie wasn't expecting a lot of "the meets", so to say.

She was probably most afraid of meeting Kara again. Maggie knew that she was Alex's whole world and when they had first met, Kara's "And I have heard all about you" had made it pretty clear that Kara knew absolutely every detail of what had happened between Maggie and Alex. Kara didn't seem like the person who you would normally feel threatened by and Maggie had never been someone who gave a lot about other people's opinions about her, but she knew that Kara was the most important person in Alex's life and what Kara thought mattered to Alex, so it mattered to Maggie.

When Maggie and Alex got together, Kara was on a "business trip" although Maggie later discovered that she had been off to Earth One as Supergirl.

Not knowing this at the time, she had been a bit surprised of Alex's overreaction to her sister's coming back home, but they were just getting to know each other and Maggie already figured that there was a lot more to know about Alex Danvers than it would appear. And maybe, Alex was just happy to finally announce to her sister that she had a girlfriend now and Maggie certainly wouldn't stop her from doing that.

About a week after coming over to Alex and declaring that you should kiss the girls that you wanted to kiss, the two of them met up at the bar for a round of pool and drinks (and a lot of stupid grins and shy kisses). Maggie was just aiming her next shot carefully when Alex's phone beeped. As her DEO job sort of needed her to be available at all times, Maggie didn't think much of it when Alex immediately checked it and then froze.

"Rogue alien?", Maggie asked while positioning the cue on her fingers, studying the balls for the best angle. Alex had to laugh at that (Maggie only realized why when she finally knew about Supergirl) and said: "Not exactly, Kara's asking if she can come join us."

Maggie misplaced her shot at that, causing the white to directly sink into the far back corner. She hung her head in frustration and asked herself if it was better that Alex thought she was a terrible pool player or that she was sort of scared of meeting her sister again. She couldn't really decide.

When Maggie looked back up, she saw Alex with her big eyes, boring questioningly into hers. Maggie wondered how these beautiful eyes could sometimes look so ruthless when now they were wide, making Alex's features look innocent and also a bit worried.

"Sure", Maggie answered, smiling at Alex encouragingly. They had to get this over with and Maggie had never been someone to procrastinate, so rather sooner than later, right? Alex's response was a big smile and Maggie chuckled while she watched her shooting a text to Kara in excitement.

Needless to say that Maggie lost the round of pool spectacularly, even more so than usual.

"Okay, after this humiliation, I need something stronger than a beer", Maggie declared when Alex had put in the eight while she herself still had five striped balls left. When Maggie wanted to make her way over to the bar, Alex gripped her wrist and pulled her back in for a kiss that grew a bit more searing than it should in a bar surrounded by people with a baby gay. They only parted as a squeak rang through the room that turned out to be coming from an endeared Kara making her way over to them. Alex held Maggie's gaze for a moment, grinning in a slightly embarrassed way, before moving to hug her sister hello.
