7. Chapter 7

And Alex’s family is absolutely shook with Maggie.

“Alexxxx, you didn’t tell me Maggie could COOK like this!”

“That’s because I’d like to eat occasionally, Kara.”

“Alexandra, you know Winn tells me that Maggie double majored in biology and chemistry with a minor in literature: why didn’t you tell me your girlfriend was so well rounded?”

“Must have forgotten to bring her CV when I brought her over for dinner, Mom, sorry about that.”

“You know, Alex, Detective Sawyer was able to offer some tactical improvements to our search and rescue drills: quite impressive for a local cop, I have to say.”

“Thanks, J'onn, I’ll pass along your drippingly enthusiastic words of praise.”

“Please thank Maggie again for taking that bullet for me when you all rescued me from Cadmus, Alex: I’m really glad she’s okay. She seems wonderful, if her reaction time and the way she looks at you are any indication.”

“I’ll let her know, Dad, but she told me to tell you that next time you thank her, I should remind you that you should really be thanking the kevlar.”

“Alex, look at the photo Maggie just sent me! You didn’t tell me she likes photography!”

“Yeah, you should see the ones she takes of me in bed.”

“Oh man, Alex, you need to make sure Maggie comes to game night this week, I just got the newest Warcraft and she promised to show me some tricks.”

“Yes, Winn, I’ll tell my nerd girlfriend that my nerd best friend wants to play his nerd game with her.”

“Calling someone a nerd there, Danvers? Takes one to know one.”

“You know my entire family loves you.”

“That so?”

“Mmhmm. Which is pretty convenient for me.”

“Yeah? Why’s that, Danvers?”

“Because I love you too, Maggie Sawyer.”
