Kara could feel the kryptonite in the air. She couldn't open her eyes, much less do anything to escape it. She tried to remember where she was, but everything was blurry. It wasn't until she felt something move underneath her that she remembered what had happened.

Lena!

Wake up Kara! You have to save her! You have to get her out of here. But she couldn't move. She could barely BREATHE! Whomever had done this knew her secret identity and had planted a kryptonite bomb. But who? Lex was dead. Lillian was in prison. Who else knew she was Supergirl?

She felt Lena stir underneath her again, this time with a pain filled groan, she lifted Kara into her arms and stood to her feet.

NO! Please, Lena! Please just leave me! Save yourself! She wanted to scream it at the top of her lungs, but she was still trapped in her own body, unable to move or even open her eyes. This was worse than being trapped in the Phantom Zone all of those years! Rao, please. Get Lena out of here! She has to live!

She heard Lena cry out in pain and they were once again on the floor. Lena's legs had buckled under her. Please Lena, Kara pleaded in her mind. Please just leave me! But she was up again, this time Lena held her close to her chest. So close that even without super hearing, she could hear every sound that Lena's heart was making. Normally hearing the sound of her loves heart would comfort her, but she could also hear every sound Lena made as her body was tearing apart from her injuries.

Oh Lena. Please don't do this. Don't die just to save me. She could feel her body giving out on her. She'd been breathing the kryptonite in for too long. Nothing short of a miracle could save her now, and she didn't want Lena to die too.

They hit the floor again. Hard. This time Lena was on top of her, and she could feel how limp her body was. Lena had no strength left in her. The pain and desperation in her voice broke hurt Kara more than any of her injuries!

"Please Kara. Please, don't die on me. Not now!"

She felt as a steady drip of something warm fell on her face. Rao. Lena's tears. And blood, she'd recognize the smell anywhere. Lena's blood. Lena was injured. Lena was dying. And it was all Kara's fault. She heard another loud crash, and recognized her sisters heartbeat. Help was here, Lena would be safe. But it was too late.

Kara felt herself grow weak as her heart began to slow.

And then it stopped.
