Supergirl (TV 2015)
by Roadie
Maggie can usually tell when people are on their outbound rides or their homebound rides. She can tell by the state of women’s makeup, by whether the men have loosened their ties and how wrinkled the backs of their suit jackets are. Kitten-heels catches a 10 pm train for her outbound journey, and Maggie isn’t quite sure what to make of that. She doesn’t look like a third-shift type. And then there’s the fact that she’s got to be in her mid-twenties but never, apparently, rode the commuter train between Midvale and National City before that day last week when she got her arm caught in the door. Maggie has a theory on that point, at least: woman who lives in Midvale and looks like she comes from money, paying careful attention to her appearance, generally nervous and defensive demeanor, suddenly riding the train every day when she’s never ridden it before in her life?One too many DUIs. Lost her driver’s license. Maggie would bet money on it. But if every person is a puzzle, Maggie’s only put together the first couple of pieces. And she doesn’t know why, but she’s curious to know more.
