"Kara it's me," I said knowing Kara could hear me. The pizza in my left hand was starting to burn as I waited for the door to open. When it finally did I walked straight in and dropped the burning pizza on the counter and set my motorcycle keys, handbag, and helmet down.

"You ready to watch Game of Thrones? I have it set up. Your cutting it real close, Alex.The new episode starts in 3 minutes, so you better get comfy," Kara said and made her way towards the counter for some pizza.

"Well if my lovely sister would ever come to my house to watch Game of Thrones, maybe I wouldn't have to pick the pizza up every night," I replied as she handed me a plate of pizza and pop.

"Last time I went to your house for a movie night Alex, I heard you and Maggie having a make out session. No blaming me for this."

"Kara, I can blame you for that. It was not a movie night for us," I let out a small laugh and settled down on her couch.

"I still can't get those sounds out of my head," she shuddered a little bit just thinking about the still fresh memory. "Besides, it's not like I was listening, just whenever I get close to your apartment my ears automatically listen to what your doing."

"One day, I'll make something so you can't hear me from miles away. And it'll be genius."

"Whatever Alex. Now shut up because the movies starting."

"Actually it's a TV show, Kara," I corrected only to have a pillow thrown at me as she sat down to.

An hour later I was helping pick up empty plates and crumbs as we talked about the latest episode.

"I can't believe that Arya went blind. I kinda feel bad," stated Kara.

"Of course you would Kara. She's your favorite character," I smiled throwing away the last pop can. "I can't believe how much pop you got me to drink Kara."

"Well you gotta get some meat on your bones that isn't muscle."

"So your pretty much saying I need to get fat? How is me getting fat going to help anyone?"

After everything was picked up I grabbed my stuff from her counter.

"It would help the pop company."

"Kara Danvers. I'm not getting fat off of your pop. Now, thanks for the movie night but I gotta run. I have to be early to the DEO tomorrow to get the lab results from the latest crime scene. They should be done at exactly 5:30 so I'm going in at 5."

"Are you talking about that new case you got where an alien is kidnapping humans?"

"That would be the one, yes. Maggie is helping me on it."

"Be careful, Alex. From what I read he takes humans and experiments on them to see what they're useful for on this planet."

"That's why I'm gonna stop him. Or her. As soon as I get the test results I'll have my DNA sample to match to a species of alien. It'll all be down hill from there," I reassured."Besides, who would want Alex Danvers anyways. I heard she's a real pain in the ass."

That got a laugh from Kara as I turned towards the door and started walking away.

"Night Alex, drive safe!" Kara called. I turned and waved bye to the blond head sticking out of her doorway.

As I got to my motorcycle I texted Maggie letting her know I was on my way home. I then slipped on my helmet and started the engine. It was supposed to rain tonight so I wanted to get home soon, even though I only lived 20 minutes away.

The crisp night air kept me awake as I drove on the slightly busy roads. I was halfway home when the first raindrop fell on my helmet. Well, looks like I'll be getting a little wet before I make it home.

Only five minutes away from Maggie and my apartment, I turned down a more abandoned road to take a quicker route. The rain was now pouring down and I drove slowly and more carefully, not being able to see 15 feet ahead of me.

When I got to the parking lot I took my helmet off and ran towards the doors. When I finally got to our door I slipped in quietly as to not wake her. After changing and slipping into bed cuddled with Maggie, my eyes closed automatically.

The next thing I woke to was the sound of feet on the floor. Not feeling the warmth of Maggie next to me I assumed she was up and making breakfast.

Damn it Maggie, I hate sleeping in.

My eyes felt way to sluggish to have been asleep very long but I guess that's what I get for watching Game of Thrones all night with Kara. I opened my eyes to complete darkness, which was odd. Wasn't the sun usually shining this early?

I sat up and reached for my gun on the nightstand. Not feeling anything, I shot out of bed and jumped to the ground. Maggie never touched my gun and I never touched hers. Ever.

Something was wrong. Where was Maggie? Who was outside of our bedroom? Why isn't my gun here?

As I started making my way towards the doorway, I heard the footsteps again. Closer. And more than one. There was something off about the footsteps though, almost as if...

I popped out of our bedroom with my fists ready to fight. Only to see our apartment lights on and three people on the ground, and three more standing above them.

One of them on the ground was Maggie being held down by two others, face bloodied. Acting on instict, I jumped at the closest ones next to me and took him down with some easy puches to the face.

Every punch I threw seemed to be returned by one of their own. I quickly knocked out two of them, coming out bloodied like Maggie, and then another two jumped on me. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Maggie struggling to keep the final two of the six off me.

The men that stood in front of me both pulled out knifes. Well, this will be interesting.

The first one stabbed at me so I grabbed his knife arm and threw him to the side, focusing on the now coming second one. The knife narrowly missed my stomach as I threw my back to his chest while holding his arm. I then jabbed him in the face a few times with my elbow until I heard the satisfying crunch of his nose breaking.

I turned around to help Maggie, ignoring the constant throbbing of pain, when suddenly someone grabbed me from behind. I was airborn for a split second before I crashed into something wooden, something hard. After that, everything went black.
