Praying that one day, he would see me and love me for who I am. Thank you, for coming to the shower. You gave me an amazing gift. You showed me that I'm not that scared little girl in that picture anymore.

Following an assassination attempt on President [[Olivia Marsdin]], Maggie began collecting evidence at the airport when [[Alex Danvers]], who claimed to work for the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation (Earth-38)|F.B.I.]] instead of the clandestine [[D.E.O.]], approached her and asked what she was doing at the crime scene.

Alex tried to throw her off the investigation, but Maggie proved herself as the other woman's intellectual match, culminating in an exchange of banter between the two of them that finally ended with Alex sternly asserting herself.

A few days later, Maggie brought Alex to a crime scene where they found the corpse of an alien.

On Valentine's Day, Maggie criticized the holiday, deeming all of the traditions and romantic gestures which people do for the occasion to be "lame", which Alex seemingly agreed with. That night however, Alex tried to surprise Maggie with a romantic gesture when she invited the latter back to her apartment, to which Maggie reacted with great anger.

====Alex's kidnapping====

[[File:Kara meeting Maggie at a robbery.png|thumb|250px|Maggie meeting Kara at a robbery.]]
 
Maggie was trying to deal with robbers who had taken people into a bank hostage, but Supergirl stopped the robbers. While dining with Alex, Kara and [[Mon-El]], Maggie complained that Kara's intervention would provide excellent defense support during the robbery trial, and that Supergirl should not have interfered in common crimes. Mon-El tried to act as a peacemaker but Kara left, and Alex chased her to try to reason with her sister.

[[File:Kara gets a ransom call.png|thumb|250px|left|Maggie sees Kara geting a call from someone claiming to have kidnapped Alex.]]

The following day at Catco, Kara ran into Maggie who asked if she'd seen Alex. Kara had believed that she had stayed over with her but Alex had apparently tried to catch up to try and talk to Kara after she left and hasn't been seen since. She also told her that Alex hadn't checked in with the D.E.O. either. Kara then got a call from Alex's phone and a mystery voice answered and told her that he knew she was Supergirl and had Alex. He told her that Alex would die in 36 hours if she didn't break a man named [[Peter Thompson]] out of prison. The two went to the D.E.O. but they were unable to track Alex's location and couldn't find any leads on where Alex could've been taken to or by whom. Maggie, Kara and J'onn went to the prison to visit Peter Thompson to find out if he knew anything. Thompson claimed to not know anything about who would want to have him freed but Kara angrily demanded that he tell them what he knew. Winn then called and found that visitor logs and surveillance footage show that Thompson had a son called [[Rick Malverne]] and he found where he lived. Kara recognized the name as an old classmate of her and Alex from Midvale and quickly flew there. She found surveillance of Alex in full display and quickly found Rick. Kara told him to let Alex go but Rick told her that he wouldn't do that until she broke his father out of prison like he wanted.
  +
  +
[[File:Maggie and Kara confront Rick Malverne.png|thumb|250px|Maggie and Kara interrogate Rick Malverne.]]
  +
Kara took Rick back to the D.E.O. where he was then interrogated by both Maggie and her. Rick revealed that he knew Kara was Supergirl from back in Midvale when she had saved that mother and child from the car crash. He told them that he had been watching them and preparing for all of this for a year. Kara asked what had happened to Rick, as she remembered that he was a nice person that had a crush on Alex, and he told her that he really had a rotten childhood with an abusive mother. He then had learned about his father Peter who had then taken him away from Midvale and always did what he could to take care of him and even helped to send him to college. Maggie pointed out to him that Peter killed two people but Rick said they deserved it and if they wanted Alex back then Kara had to free his father within the next 24 hours. He then let them speak to Alex and she told Kara to not do what Rick wanted as Supergirl was bigger than her. When they managed to find where the signal was coming from, Kara quickly moved to get to Alex though Rick told Kara not to go there. Kara then flew over but found that it was a decoy and it triggered a trap that made the holding area where Alex was start to fill with water, cutting her time to only four hours.
  +
  +
So Maggie was gone and she had went off to the prison to free Peter Thompson herself. Kara flew there to stop Maggie and tell her that she couldn't do this. She then tried to reason with Peter and tell him what his son was doing. Peter then told the two where he believed that Rick had taken her. They went over there and found that Alex's cell was full of water and Kara quickly went and broke through it to get Alex out.
  +
  +
[[File:Kara and Maggie save Alex.png|thumb|left|250px|Maggie and Kara rescue Alex.]]

They were relieved to find that Alex had used her training to try and buy them more time to find her. Alex was then taken back to the D.E.O. where they learned that J'onn was going to wipe Rick's mind of Supergirl's identity and the D.E.O. Alex agreed and then punched Rick in the face. Maggie then thanked Kara for stopping her from making a mistake but Kara told Maggie that she merely reminded her of what she had told her before of not always being able to charge in with her powers and that she had been right. Then they shared a hug.<ref>{{Ep|Alex}}</ref>

Maggie is one of the few humans who does not have an anti-view on aliens in general; as she treats both humans and aliens alike with the same equal rights, while not as scientifically specializing as her ex-fiancée, Maggie has proven capable of keeping up with the extraterrestrial at her own pace, having discovered the existence of an alien bar before the [[D.E.O.]] did. Maggie also has a tough exterior, but once you crack down her walls, she's a cinnamon roll, being very supportive of [[Alex Danvers]] as the latter gradually came to terms with being a lesbian.

"That little girl so desperate to win her father's love... you left her on the side of the road, and all these years I've been that little girl. Yearning for my papa to come back for me. Praying that one day, he would see me and love me for who I am. Thank you, for coming to the shower. You gave me an amazing gift. You showed me that I'm not that scared little girl in that picture anymore. I am an adult woman, and I am happy in my own skin, and I am so fortunate that I am surrounded by people who value and cherish me. I finally understand I don't need you to see me, or get me, or to even like me. I don't need anything from you. I'm already good. Goodbye, Papa."
—Maggie Sawyer to her father, Oscar Rodas[src]

Detective Margarita "Maggie" Sawyer[1] (born March 29, 1987[2]) is a police detective of the National City Police Department and a member of the Science Police. She is also the estranged daughter of Oscar Rodas and an unnamed woman, the niece of an unnamed woman and the ex-fiancée of Alex Danvers.

Biography

Original multiverse

Early life

Maggie Sawyer was born on March 29, 1987 to Oscar Rodas and an unnamed woman. She was raised in Blue Springs, Nebraska, in a very conservative family. Maggie unfortunately had a hard childhood, being discriminated against and treated as an outcast by her peers.[3] Growing up, she idolized her father and aspired to be a cop just like him.[1]

When she was 14, Maggie realized she was gay when she had her first crush on her friend, Elisa Wilkey. Believing the feeling was mutual, Maggie wrote a Valentine's Day card expressing her feelings and asking Elisa to the school dance, which she put in her friend's locker. However, Elisa showed the card to her parents, who then outed Maggie to her parents.[4]

When Maggie came home from school that day, Oscar had packed her a suitcase for her and ordered her to get in the car. They drove in silence for a while as Maggie stared out the window, initially too scared to speak. Eventually, Maggie timidly asked what she did wrong, to which Oscar declared with contempt, "You shamed me." He left Maggie with her suitcase on the side of the road near her aunt's house.[1] Maggie then lived with her aunt for the next three years. She would subsequently have no contact of any sort with her parents until adulthood, though was still hurt deeply by their rejection. Due to this incident, Maggie also developed a disdain for Valentines Day.[4]

At some point in her life, Maggie was in a serious relationship with Emily and they dated for five years. However, Maggie cheated on Emily with an unnamed woman, which led to a very sour break-up. Emily said some horrible things to Maggie, including that she didn't deserve to be happy, which stuck with her for a long time.[5]

A hard-working and tough woman, Maggie joined the police force, rising to the rank of detective. During that time, she cracked the Martial murder, an 18-year-old cold case, by looking for clues in the seemingly mundane details, as her father taught her.[1] Maggie later transferred to the National City Police Department's Science Police division, which dealt with aliens and "all things that go bump in the night". Shortly after her arrival, she began to routinely attend Al's Dive Bar and had a brief romantic relationship with one of the bartenders, Darla.[3]

Working with Alex

Alex meets Maggie

Maggie meets Alex.

Following an assassination attempt on President Olivia Marsdin, Maggie began collecting evidence at the airport when Alex Danvers, who claimed to work for the Secret Service instead of the clandestine D.E.O., approached her and asked what she was doing at the crime scene. Maggie pointed out that she was from NCPD's Science Police and her work is to investigate everything regarding aliens. Alex tried to throw her off the investigation, but Maggie proved herself as the other woman's intellectual match, culminating in an exchange of banter between the two of them that finally ended with Alex sternly asserting herself.

The two would later meet again when Alex led her D.E.O. team into a warehouse raid in search of a supposed rogue Kryptonian. Maggie was already there, thanks to her street contacts, and casing the evidence from within. Alex's armed gear and the team allowed Maggie to discern that the former was in fact affiliated with the D.E.O., much to the agent's chagrin. Later, Maggie invited Alex to the Al's Dive Bar, where she explained multiple aliens tended to congregate and introduced Alex to her ex-girlfriend, Darla. The two asked a patron about Mon-El's whereabouts, as he was assumed to have been the perpetrator of the assassination attempt. With some "encouragement" from Alex, the alien revealed Mon-El was asking about space transmissions, wanting to send out a signal to his home planet.

The next day, Maggie and Alex attended President Marsdin's signing decree on the Alien Amnesty Act. However, the ceremony was interrupted when Scorcher, an Infernian, tried again to assassinate President Marsdin, revealing herself as the real attacker. Maggie and Alex to stop her, but she escaped after kidnapping Maggie. Maggie was chained up in an abandoned factory, but was later rescued by Supergirl and Alex. After they incapacitated Scorcher, Maggie knocked her out with a piece of metal.

Maggie was taken to the D.E.O. for a brief medical checkup. She complimented the facility and thanked Alex for saving her. Alex in turn thanked Maggie for reminding her that not all aliens are dangerous. Maggie then left, stating she had a date with a girl.[3]

Alex and Maggie at the fight club

Alex and Maggie undercover at the alien fight club.

A few days later, Maggie brought Alex to a crime scene where they found the corpse of an alien. According to the bruises on his fists, the two concluded that before his death, he fought and was killed by another alien. Later, they went to their prime suspect's home, only to see him being kidnapped by a few unidentified people in a van. In the evening, Alex and Maggie infiltrate an underground National City fight club hosted by socialite Veronica Sinclair aka Roulette, in which the aliens are forced to fight to the death for the money. In the first battle, M'gann M'orzz fought and nearly killed kidnapped alien Quill until Supergirl arrived and intervened. Alex and Maggie fired shots into the air to disperse all those present, saving Supergirl.

After Kara discovered the new address where Roulette planned to host the next battle, Alex and Maggie organized a police riot and arrested the woman. However, Roulette managed to get released due to having "friends in high places". Afterwards, Alex invited Maggie to have a drink together, but the latter declined and left with her girlfriend.[6]

Helping Alex come out

Sometime later, Maggie broke up with her girlfriend, as the woman believed Maggie focused too much on her work. Alex met her at Al's Dive Bar and tried to cheer Maggie up. After they met at the site of a diamond robbery, Alex invited Maggie to go somewhere like a bar or cafe. When Maggie refused, Alex tried to persuade Maggie to help "keep each other company". Maggie replied she didn't realize Alex liked girls. Thrown off, Alex denied it. Maggie pointed out that a lot of lesbians say the same thing, prompting a shocked Alex to leave.

Alex comes out to Maggie

Alex tells Maggie that she may be a lesbian.

After the arrest of a criminal gang, Maggie placing them in the police van, when one gang member, Chet Miner, started to tell her who supplied them with alien weapons. Suddenly, the ears of all the members of the gang began to bleed and they die on the street in front of Maggie. That night, Alex found Maggie at Al's Dive Bar, asking if she was okay. Maggie apologized for how she behaved before when she accused Alex of being a lesbian, but Alex confessed that she could not stop thinking about her sexual orientation since and it be the truth.[7]

Alex kisses Maggie

Alex kisses Maggie.

Later, Maggie advised Alex to come out to her family and promised that immediately after that, they'll go to have a drink together. The next night, Alex came back to the bar and revealed to Maggie that she successfully came out to her sister Kara before kissing her. After the kiss though, Maggie kindly turned Alex down, explaining that she does not want to have a relationship with someone who just came out, as it never has a good ending, and Alex still has a lot to figure out about her new identity. Alex then left, devastated and embarrassed.[8]

Relationship with Alex and allying with Supergirl

A few days later Maggie, came into Al's Dive Bar and asked Alex how she was doing. Alex pretended not to be offended by what happened during their last encounter, claiming that everything is fine and agreeing to be friends.

Alex tells Maggie they can't be just friends

Alex tells Maggie they can't be just friends.

The next day, Maggie gained a warrant for the arrest of the vigilante Guardian and reported it on the news. Later, Alex approached Maggie and asked her to stop the hunt for the vigilante, telling her that they are targeting the wrong person without revealing any further details. Maggie asks for confidential details because "we're friends," but Alex reveals she is still hurt that Maggie doesn't reciprocate her feelings and knows they can't just be friends.

That evening, Maggie visited Alex at Kara's apartment and tells her that she hopes that they will be able to become friends because she did not want to imagine her life without her. Alex agrees to be friends with Maggie and meet her the next night and play pool.[9]

A few days later, after Alex found out that to spread the Medusa virus on National City, Cadmus needed a substance produced by L-Corp, she called Maggie and asks her to send all their available troops to the company headquarters. When Maggie and several police officers arrived, they found Supergirl fighting Cyborg Superman and opened fire on him. Suddenly, a breach opened above them, distracting the cyborg and allowing Kara to knock him down. However, he managed to shoot Maggie in the shoulder with his cybernetic laser eyes.

Maggie kisses Alex

Maggie confesses her feelings to Alex and kisses her.

Maggie was taken to the D.E.O., where Alex stitched up her wound. Alex informed Maggie that she had come out to her mother, and thanked Maggie for having opened her eyes. Alex stated that she now feels more like herself than ever and accepts that being a lesbian is her "new normal".

The next evening, Maggie visited Alex at her apartment, confessing that she has feelings for her, and the two shared a kiss.[10]

Maggie and Alex first morning together

Maggie and Alex the morning after they slept together for the first time.

Maggie began to spend more time with Alex as they explored their new relationship and eventually spent the night at Alex's apartment. When the duo woke up the next morning, they decided to call in sick from work.

Later that same day, Kara went missing and was eventually tracked to a planet Maaldoria, where she didn't have her powers. Alex became worried and blamed herself, feeling she had become distracted by her new relationship with Maggie and didn't protect her sister. When Maggie arrived at the D.E.O., Alex told her that she couldn't see her anymore because Supergirl had gone missing and that it was her fault. Maggie was confused by how she was acting, but Alex claimed that she had to focus on getting Supergirl back and Maggie couldn't help her.

After Alex rescued her sister and returned to Earth, Maggie visited her and revealed that she knew that her sister Kara was Supergirl because Kara was the only person whom Alex could worry about as much as she did. Alex confirmed this and explained that she had to look out for her sister for years and often found it difficult to have a life of her own. Maggie assured her that she (Maggie) wasn't going anywhere and Alex deserved to be happy.[11]

After Livewire is broken out of prison, Maggie and Alex helped Supergirl in her investigations to track her down strengthening, both their professional and personal relationship.[12]

When Kara was getting ready to spend her Earth-birthday with Alex, Alex told her that she and Maggie had plans to see a concert. Maggie had scored tickets to their favorite joint band, The Barenaked Ladies, and they were going together. Unbeknownst to Maggie though, Alex had been replaced with a White Martian who was working with Armek to try and kill M'gann M'orzz. When Alex was saved, she quickly called Maggie to tell her of the deception.[13]

When Lillian Luthor and John Corben had escaped from police custody, Maggie checked with the prison logs and saw that Lena Luthor had been the prison's only visitor the night before to see Lillian Luthor. She checked the L-Corp security and found footage of Lena Luthor taking Kryptonite from a safe that was used to give Corben back his power as Metallo. Maggie then went to Lena's office and arrested her in front of Kara.[14]

On Valentine's Day, Maggie criticized the holiday, deeming all of the traditions and romantic gestures which people do for the occasion to be "lame", which Alex seemingly agreed with. That night however, Alex tried to surprise Maggie with a romantic gesture when she invited the latter back to her apartment, to which Maggie reacted with great anger. Maggie then tearfully revealed the reason she hates Valentine's Day so much: 15 years ago, she developed feelings for her friend, Elisa Wilkey, and confessed them on Valentines Day in a homemade card. Once Elisa's parents found out, they outed Maggie to her parents, resulting in Maggie being kicked out of her home and forced to live with an aunt. When Alex wondered why Maggie didn't tell her about this before, Maggie tried to explain that she wanted their relationship to be different but stormed out.

The next day, Maggie arrived at the D.E.O. to apologize to Alex for her outburst. There, she ran into Kara and recounted the situation. Kara explained that Alex never meant to hurt Maggie and was just really excited to have someone to actually celebrate Valentine's Day with. She suggested that Maggie try making some changes for the holiday, which Alex tried to do for her.

That evening, Maggie went and made a romantic gesture of her own to Alex by arranging for a private, belated Valentine's Day-themed prom for the two of them. As a gift, Maggie sent her girlfriend a new red dress to wear. Once Alex arrived at the venue, Maggie gave her a corsage, apologizing for letting old wounds affect the present, as she now has a reason to like and look forwards to Valentine's Day again. The two shared a kiss and began dancing together.[4]

When Jeremiah Danvers was found by the D.E.O. after being missing for over 12 years, Maggie went over to Kara's apartment to meet him and celebrate with the rest of the family. Jeremiah was surprised to find out that she was Alex's girlfriend but was still happy to meet her. After Jeremiah's betrayal, Maggie went to visit Alex and found her drinking whilst in tears. Maggie stopped Alex from continuing to drink and hugged her as she broke down.[15]

When Alex was suspended from the D.E.O. for her erratic behavior regarding Jeremiah's betrayal, she told Maggie that of her desire to find and protect her father. Maggie understood and agreed to help her. They laid in wait with a registered alien and when Cadmus arrived to kidnap him the two of them came out and foiled their attempt. Maggie used Alex's alien gun and took out two of Cadmus' men. Alex tracked Cadmus' hideout from the transport and Maggie offered to go with her but Alex told her that she would go alone. They shared a kiss goodbye before they went off.[16]

When a painting was stolen from the museum, Maggie had to summon Winn to the police department, since in the recordings it could be seen that he had entered at night. Maggie realized Winn had been framed by his girlfriend Lyra, and Alex and James persuaded her to leave Winn in custody for a day as they searched for evidence to exonerate him. Eventually Winn's innocence was proven and he, with the help of Alex and James, managed to retrieve the painting and arrest a gang of alien thieves, and Maggie decided not to prosecute Lyra and her brother.[17]

Maggie convinced Alex to do a yoga class with her. On their return they bumped into Emily, and Maggie stopped to greet her. After a few pleasant conversations, Alex convinced Maggie to ask Emily to go to dinner with them, and she accepted. Emily didn't show up, and Maggie admitted that they hadn't left each other on good terms and that she had told her that she didn't deserve to be happy. Later Alex went to talk to Emily who told her that Maggie had betrayed her. Alex later told Maggie that she had discovered the truth, and that after her parents rejected her, she had lost the ability to trust those she loved, then trying to make her understand that she could trust her.[5]

Alex's kidnapping

Kara meeting Maggie at a robbery

Maggie meeting Kara at a robbery.

Maggie was trying to deal with robbers who had taken people into a bank hostage, but Supergirl stopped the robbers. While dining with Alex, Kara and Mon-El, Maggie complained that Kara's intervention would provide excellent defense support during the robbery trial, and that Supergirl should not have interfered in common crimes. Mon-El tried to act as a peacemaker but Kara left, and Alex chased her to try to reason with her sister.

Kara gets a ransom call

Maggie sees Kara geting a call from someone claiming to have kidnapped Alex.

The following day at Catco, Kara ran into Maggie who asked if she'd seen Alex. Kara had believed that she had stayed over with her but Alex had apparently tried to catch up to try and talk to Kara after she left and hasn't been seen since. She also told her that Alex hadn't checked in with the D.E.O. either. Kara then got a call from Alex's phone and a mystery voice answered and told her that he knew she was Supergirl and had Alex. He told her that Alex would die in 36 hours if she didn't break a man named Peter Thompson out of prison. The two went to the D.E.O. but they were unable to track Alex's location and couldn't find any leads on where Alex could've been taken to or by whom. Maggie, Kara and J'onn went to the prison to visit Peter Thompson to find out if he knew anything. Thompson claimed to not know anything about who would want to have him freed but Kara angrily demanded that he tell them what he knew. Winn then called and found that visitor logs and surveillance footage show that Thompson had a son called Rick Malverne and he found where he lived. Kara recognized the name as an old classmate of her and Alex from Midvale and quickly flew there. She found surveillance of Alex in full display and quickly found Rick. Kara told him to let Alex go but Rick told her that he wouldn't do that until she broke his father out of prison like he wanted.

Maggie and Kara confront Rick Malverne

Maggie and Kara interrogate Rick Malverne.

Kara took Rick back to the D.E.O. where he was then interrogated by both Maggie and her. Rick revealed that he knew Kara was Supergirl from back in Midvale when she had saved that mother and child from the car crash. He told them that he had been watching them and preparing for all of this for a year. Kara asked what had happened to Rick, as she remembered that he was a nice person that had a crush on Alex, and he told her that he really had a rotten childhood with an abusive mother. He then had learned about his father Peter who had then taken him away from Midvale and always did what he could to take care of him and even helped to send him to college. Maggie pointed out to him that Peter killed two people but Rick said they deserved it and if they wanted Alex back then Kara had to free his father within the next 24 hours. He then let them speak to Alex and she told Kara to not do what Rick wanted as Supergirl was bigger than her. When they managed to find where the signal was coming from, Kara quickly moved to get to Alex though Rick told Kara not to go there. Kara then flew over but found that it was a decoy and it triggered a trap that made the holding area where Alex was start to fill with water, cutting her time to only four hours.

So Maggie was gone and she had went off to the prison to free Peter Thompson herself. Kara flew there to stop Maggie and tell her that she couldn't do this. She then tried to reason with Peter and tell him what his son was doing. Peter then told the two where he believed that Rick had taken her. They went over there and found that Alex's cell was full of water and Kara quickly went and broke through it to get Alex out.

Kara and Maggie save Alex

Maggie and Kara rescue Alex.

They were relieved to find that Alex had used her training to try and buy them more time to find her. Alex was then taken back to the D.E.O. where they learned that J'onn was going to wipe Rick's mind of Supergirl's identity and the D.E.O. Alex agreed and then punched Rick in the face. Maggie then thanked Kara for stopping her from making a mistake but Kara told Maggie that she merely reminded her of what she had told her before of not always being able to charge in with her powers and that she had been right. Then they shared a hug.[18]

Personality

"No, it's real. You're real, and you deserve to have a real, full, happy life. Okay? Tell your family. This is the biggest thing that's ever happened to you, and you shouldn't have to do it alone."
—Maggie Sawyer encouraging Alex Danvers to accept her sexuality[src]

Maggie is one of the few humans; who does not have an anti-view towards all other aliens in general, as she treats both humans and aliens alike, with the same equal rights, while not as scientifically specializing as her ex-fiancée, Alex Danvers, Maggie is; proven capable of keeping up, with the extraterrestrial at her own pace, having discovered the existence of an alien bar, before the D.E.O. did.

She once cheated on her ex-girlfriend Emily, but expressed extreme guilt over it, knowing that, it was wrong, proving that, she has a moral compass.

After Maggie's parents rejected her, when she came out as a lesbian, Maggie became closed off to those around her. She doesn't trust easily and doesn't like to talk about herself and her problems, mainly out of fear of being rejected for, who she is. After she started dating Alex, the latter started to help her heal and overcome this fear of being rejected, and help her to be not closed off to those closest to her.

Maggie is calm and patient always maintaining her emotions, she is able to talk down bank robbers, even after seventeen hours of negotiating. But; when her investigation was compromised by Kara Danvers's interference, she was seen losing her patience for the first time. Later on, when her girlfriend Alex is kidnapped and only has mere hours left, before drowning, she compromises her beliefs and to help a criminal escape from prison, in order to save Alex. When Kara intervenes, she expresses that, she doesn't want to lose Alex and was willing to do whatever it took to save her. In the end, Maggie returned Peter Thompson to prison.
