693. Chapter 693

Alex tries to avoid letting Kara know.

About Maggie and her motorcycle.

First, because Kara will tease her about having a type.

First Lucy, then Maggie.

Second, because as soon as Kara’s done teasing her, she’ll take Alex’s bike and ride out with Maggie, and get into ridiculous shenanigans, because both of them are about twelve years old, and if they don’t land themselves in a hospital – well, Maggie, anyway, because Kara will of course be fine – they’ll be, at the very least, absolutely insufferable together.

Alex’s predictions, of course, are correct.

Because Kara’s eyes fly wide open the first time she sees Maggie pull up on her Triumph.

“Alex, you didn’t tell me Maggie rides!” she squeals.

“You do too, Little Danvers?” Maggie asks as Alex groans.

And that’s how it starts.

Their weekly bike trips.

They head out into the desert and they speed along the coast and Kara teaches Maggie some tricks while Maggie teaches Kara some of her own.

They set up a bluetooth connection in their helmets so they can talk, and it’s that, more than anything, that makes Kara accept Maggie into their family.

“It’s so peaceful out here,” Kara tells her one week, and she hears Maggie’s sigh with her superhearing and through the earpiece.

“Home was a little like this,” Maggie says after a while, and that’s how Kara hears about Blue Springs for the first time.

“Hey, can you teach me how to brake like that?” Kara asks of one of Maggie’s car chase techniques another week, and Maggie doesn’t tell her that her sister will kill her if Kara gets hurt.

And that’s how Kara finds out that Maggie knows she’s Supergirl.

“You want any help asking Luthor out, Kid Danvers?” Maggie asks casually during another of their rides, and Kara nearly totals her bike in response.

It’s all the response Maggie needs; and that’s how she got her first date with Lena Luthor.

“You know, if you wanted to marry my sister, I’d be okay with that,” Kara tells her during another ride, and it’s Maggie that almost crashes this time.

Which is how she becomes Kara’s sister-in-law.
