Ep 7: Touch

"Winn, what happened?"Supergirl asked as she hurried towards Alex. She saw that her sister is getting paler and barely breathing.


"We need to find Sierra. I know what's happening. Come on"


Winn explained to them that Sierra's mother came from a family that knows witchcraft and that she inherited a power that she doesn't know.


In Filipino, they have a word for it. Maca-amling or Maca-usog where someone who has this weird power causes harm to someone they look upon without even knowing it. With a strong spell, adults could sick, like Alex. That results in vomiting and weakening of the muscles like someone has gotten the flu.


"Only someone who caused it would cure Alex. And it's Sierra which is by my investigation, hasn't come to the NCPD office since yesterday. A guy said she was sick"


"But how will she heal Alex?" Kara asked, confused. Not knowing what Sierra would do to cure her poor sister in a fragile state.


"Oh, just by touching"


"How?"


"I don't know but all I know is that we need to find Maggie to help us find Sierra to cure Alex and be the badass that she is"


"I'll talk to Maggie. Thanks, Winn"


***


"Lena, have you seen my phone? I mean I haven't checked it since I got here but I think it's missing. I gotta go to the NCPD. My colleague has not been showing up for work" Maggie continues as she was rummaging through her things at the L corp Lab.


"Not that I remember but when we kidnapped you with consent from the DEO, you were just in your medical gown"Lena answered working on her computer. L corp lab has been their hang out place since they've decided not to go to another place to avoid people they don't want to see, specifically at the alien bar.


"Well, if anyone finds it. I hope they know what's the password"a defeated Maggie sighed and continued fixing her things.


"Let's just track it. I know I can"Lena suggests, Maggie was nonchalant, "Oops. I think it's off. Go find another phone"


"Thanks for the effort, Little Luthor. I'll see you"


"Wait, I was kidding. But seriously, I think your battery has run out. Is there something in there that you don't want other people to see?"Lena teased Maggie and the latter just showed her dimples.


"Not that I remember, but some things aren't meant to be"Lena understood what Maggie has said so she helped her fix her things and hugged Maggie.


"It was nice with you here. Thank you for being my friend. I'll see you, Sawyer. Take care"


"Yeah, you too. See you, Little Luthor"


Maggie just went of L corp when someone swoops her in before she knows it she was flying with care.


"Supergirl, what can I do for you?"


"It's Alex"


"Oh"


***


"Do I really have to do this?"


"Maggie, listen. I know that you and Alex are not together anymore but I know that you still care for her. We need your help"


"Okay, Kara I know what you're trying to do but I am needed at NCPD office. My colleague is missing and I need to take care of that and I really wanna help Alex but-----"


"But you can do both"Winn intruded, cutting Maggie, "Your colleague, Sierra Devera has magically touched our Alex and poof! Alex is lying in the medical bay"


"I don't understand"


Winn explained what they found out about Sierra including the scanning activity of Kara that earned a chuckle from Maggie. Kara shrugged it off but felt her ears reddening.


"And she is missing and we need to find her both to help Alex and help your colleague as well" Kara added, a pleading look at Maggie that Maggie couldn't resist.


"Unfortunately, we couldn't track her and no one knows where she is well except you?"


"I know where to find her, "Maggie said, she looked at Kara and nudged her, "Mind giving me a ride?"


***


They were walking now to where Sierra is. They just enjoyed their time flying and storytelling like it was the old time. Even though Supergirl's justice doesn't fit into Maggie's she knows that she's trying and she loves the girl behind the suit.


"I know it's hard for you, but I need you and Alex needs you"


"Save it, Little Danvers. I will always care for her. I'll save her. She's the biggest part of my life," Maggie sighed and whispered, "and I will always love her"


Kara tapped Maggie's back. Even if it was just a whisper, with Supergirl's super hearing. She can hear and feel Maggie's words.


"We're here"


***


"Sierra?"


"Chief Sawyer?"


"Yes, it's me. I'm with Supergirl" Maggie regarded to her friend, a shocked Sierra can't find the words and started hiding behind the couch.


"Sierra, what's wrong?"


"No. No. I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing. I'm a bad person" Sierra was panicking, she sweats beading and mumbling to herself.


"No, no you didn't. Calm down, now"Supergirl brought her a glass of water and chugged it down.


"Now tell me what happened"


Sierra stood up and went to sit on the couch facing Maggie and Supergirl.


"It was a thing that I inherited from my mother side. It was when you accidentally put a spell on someone without knowing that it was you and I feel bad for having put it in your Alex"Maggie froze at the mentioned of your Alex and Supergirl suppressed a laugh earning a kick from her friend.


"Ouch"


"Focus" Supergirl playfully zipped her mouth and listened to Sierra.


"And I know I can control it but I got distracted, "Sierra said and looked at the floor, her cheeks are burning red," She.....she was....she was so attractive" she whispered that only Supergirl heard.


"What?"Maggie was confused and Supergirl didn't spill the beans, "But you do know how to heal her, right?"


"Yes. Yes. Where is she? Is she here?"Sierra asked excitedly that earned another confused look from Maggie, "I'm sorry. Yes, I know how. Take me to her?"


"Sure, we would but Kara----I mean Supergirl would fly us there so get a grip," Maggie said and held Kara's hand.


"Maggie, you're so small. I could lose you, keep it close"Supergirl exclaimed and she and Sierra laughed but Maggie just groaned. She's small but she's incredible.


"Yeah? Your sister says I'm a great cop"


"Yes, you are. You surely are. We're here"


***


"Winn, they're here" Supergirl announced and they went to Alex. She's getting worse and her skin looks so pale.


"Come on, Danvers. Fight this"Maggie said, he was joined by Winn watching Sierra, Supergirl, and Alex.


"Funny because she said the same thing when you were here. Alright, I should keep my mouth shut"


"Thanks, Winn. You probably wouldn't see me around often. Tell Danvers I said hi" and give a piece of paper to Winn. Winn took it and placed it in his pocket.


Maggie walked away fighting back tears. She knows Sierra could heal Alex and she doesn't want to ruin the healing process and doesn't want to ruin Alex's happy life.


She glanced around the DEO headquarters and remembered the moments she's had with them. She probably wouldn't be around fighting with her team and the DEO but it will always have a place in her heart.


As the elevator door opens, she was met with someone she didn't really want to see.


"Hi. You're Maggie, right? Thank you so much for the help with Alex's situation"


"No problem, Little Olsen"


"Yeah"


"Yeah. I should get going"


As the elevator closes, Maggie pressed the ground floor with her shaky hands. She couldn't take it anymore so she let herself cry and feel the pain of what could've been between her and Alex.


The elevator door opens and Maggie was shocked to see Kara waiting for her offering a hug.


"Super hearing. I need to get you to your apartment and I'll get back to Alex as quickly as possible"


Maggie wiped her tears until it was all a whimper and moments later, she was in her empty apartment that is 2 blocks away from Alex's.


"Thank you, Kara"


"Thank you for the help, Maggie"


"Kara, you should stop doing this"
