Lena can't believe that her best friend lied to her for so long by hiding who she truly was. She was so angry, that the feeling of heat vision scared her. She knew she needed to get away from Kara as quickly as possible to cool off. Lena managed to hover herself with minimal flailing as she tried to orient herself after suddenly leaving her office. Lena's fear continued to rise as she looked down to see herself in Supergirl's suit and the city down below. 

As she panicked, she quickly lost altitude. She was pummeling towards the ground. Out of instinct, she was able to move herself out of the city limits into the woods. Lena let out a loud scream as she propelled through the tree branches and crashed into the ground, leaving and impressive crater. As Lena crawled out, she realized where she was: Luthor Manor.

As she walked through the woods to the clearing, she accidentally hit a trip wire. Guns raised from the yard and shot at her. Her reflexes had her superspeed out of the way, but not quite fast enough. A lone Kryptonite bullet hit her thigh. Lena let out a wail, feeling like the wound was burning with pins and needles that spread throughout her body. It felt like her flesh was burning off her bones. She tried to get up and walk but she stumbled and fell again. The pain was unbearable. She just laid on the ground, clutching her leg, sobbing uncontrollably from both the pain and the betrayal.

Alex and Kara made quick work of wrapping up the crystal before hopping on Alex's motorcycle, gunning for Luthor Manor. Kara couldn't help but feel tears streak down her face at the thought of losing Lena forever. Her anxiety was rising as she held onto her sister tightly to keep from falling off. As they pulled into the drive to a seemingly empty field. They saw a figuring on the ground in the unmistakable blue and red.

Alex barely brought the motorcycle to a halt before Kara hopped off and sprinted to Lena. Kara had a moment of surrealism as she realized that she sprinted towards her own body, but she knew that it was her best friend on the ground. As she quickly approached, she saw the green glow coming from her leg.

"Lena! Oh my Rao! Lena, are you alright?!"

Lena couldn't even form words to respond as she was sobbing too hard. She was surprised to hear her own voice with such concern.

"Lena! Lena! Let me see! Move your hand for me, okay?" Kara looked over the wound and saw a sliver of Kryptonite in the wound that was preventing it from healing. Alex ran up moment's behind Kara and Kara yanked the field kit out of Alex's hands to pull out the sliver. Once it was out, Kara let out a breath she didn't know she was holding as the wound healed over with the sunlight. "Lena, I need you to take a deep breath. Can you do that for me?"

Lena struggled to take a deep breath. She felt so much better without the nails running through her veins. She knew that she needed to get ahold of herself. She scrambled to sit up on the ground and moved away from Kara.

"Ka- Lena, I know this is a shock to you, but we really need your head in the game. We need to switch you two back. What were you doing when the switch happened?" Alex gently inquired. She was struggling to adjust to Lena being in her sister's body. 

Lena let out a shuddering breath to gather herself. 

"Alex! Not now! She literally just fell through the sky into the ground and was shot by Kryptonite no less. Lena, are you alright?" Kara chastised her sister before looking at Lena with pure concern.

"I'm fine. She was handing the rock over to me. I touched it, and a blinding headache took over. We were swapped when I opened my eyes," Lena said impatiently. She wanted nothing more than to be back in her own body and get away from Kara. "Maybe we should try touching it at the same time again? Did you bring it?"
