Day 6
The first few days they had been live-streaming constantly and they were all very aware of it. Then they had to send videos pretty regularly, but just what they wanted to share with the public. So it wasn't until day five, when the live-cameras were finally off, that they began to relax and let everything sink in. There was not a lot of work to do besides making sure they were still on course.

They formed a routine pretty quickly. They had most things on a schedule — they needed it not to lose track of time. They all woke up within the same hour, and had breakfast. Alex checked in with Houston and then went to exercise with Kara. Lena and Sam were after them, and then came Maggie and Nia. Afterwards they had lunch. Some went to work in the lab, others to check things or report to Earth once again before having some dinner. Then they were free to do whatever they wanted for a couple of hours until it was time to sleep.

When Lena went to have lunch on day six, she floated right in the middle of an argument.

"I'm over it, Kara."

Lena saw Kara was ready to continue, so she decided to intervene, "Something I should know?"

Alex shook her head, at the same time that Kara said, "She's avoiding Maggie."

"Kara." Alex warned.

"Stop it, both of you. Alex, I'm sure she's just trying to help. Kara, give your sister a break, she'll talk to Maggie when she's ready. Plus, she's smart, she knows they have to talk if this is to be a smooth trip and a good working environment for everyone."

"I know what you're doing, Luthor."

"Woman up, Danvers."

"Where's Sam? I need someone on my side."

"Talking to Ruby, but she'd be telling you the same thing, you know?"

Alex rolled her eyes. "I'll talk to her."

"Of course, when Lena says it..."

Lena placed a hand on her shoulder, "Just take the win, Kara."

Alex ended up making food for two and leaving to find Maggie.

"Hungry, Sawyer?"

Maggie grabbed the food Alex had just pushed towards her, "Yeah, thanks, I was about to go there."

"Well, apparently we need to talk so I figured we could eat without the rest of them."

"Why does it sound like you're being forced to do this?"

"Because I kinda am. It's not... It's just that I don't really know what to say."

"Look, Danvers, this is ridiculous. Do you have a problem with me being here?"

"What? No, Maggie, of course not!" Alex almost pushed herself a little too hard, she had to hold on to Maggie, who had just extended her arms to help steady her.

"Easy there."

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I've been so nervous. I just want us to be okay."

"Well, I told you once that I didn't want to imagine my life without you in it. That's still true, even more so now than it was back then. So maybe we should try to give our friendship a real shot."

"I'd like that."

Maggie smiled, her dimples in full display, "Yeah?"

"Yeah." They pulled themselves into each other's arms and hugged.
