A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 302 - Recovery

After spending a little more time with Morgan, Alura, Lori and Lena, Kara decides to leave her family for a few minutes, and just go and check how Nia and Maeve are getting on in the medical bay with Eliza. Kara hasn't seen them since Vivienne took them out of Leviathan, so she does think it would be best to check on them, and make sure they are okay. The only thing Kara is hesitant about in regards to this, is the fact that Nia and Maeve are probably going to ask her about Vivienne, and she is going to have to, once more, rely the news that Morgan's mother didn't make it. Kara just hopes Nia and Maeve don't feel guilty about it, as while Vivienne did die helping Maeve escape from Leviathan, it was still Talia that killed her, and at the end of the day, Vivienne made her own choices. Kara just kind of wishes she could listen to her own thoughts about Vivienne's death, as even if she doesn't want Nia and Maeve to feel guilty, she herself feels guilty. Mostly because Kara thinks that if she had just finished fighting her people a few moments earlier, she might have been able to see Talia creeping up behind Vivienne, or perhaps she should have kept more of a closer eye on Talia after she knocked her to the ground, and that would have prevented things. Kara just knows that these thoughts, and the feeling of guilt, isn't something that is going to go away for her for a while yet.

Kara soon enters the medical bay, and once she does she sees that Maeve is lying on one of the beds, with Nia sitting in a chair next to the bed, and Eliza standing over the bed, running various tests. Obviously Maeve was in captivity, under Leviathan's watch, for multiple months, and in that time it's doubtful that she got to live a very healthy life. So, because of all that, it is very important that Eliza runs these tests, to just check the overall medical health of Maeve.

"KARA!" Nia says, with a gasp, quickly getting up from the chair and running over to Kara.

Once Nia runs over to Kara, she takes her in for a tight hug, which Kara responds to by hugging the young reporter back.

"Hey." Kara says, with a smile.

After a few more moments, Nia backs away from the hug, with her then growing a look of realisation on her face, and looking back at her sister. Nia has literally just realised she accidentally gave away Kara's secret identity to her sister by yelling out Kara's name.

"I uhh..... I mean.... Supergirl....." Nia says, awkwardly.

Kara can't help but chuckle at Nia's awkwardness.

"It's okay." Kara says, with a smile, "I think, after everything we have been through, your sister can probably keep a secret. I mean, she is already going to have to keep a secret from everyone about the powers you have."

"Hmmm.... yeah...." Nia nods.

Kara and Nia now approach Maeve's bed, and as they do Eliza looks at Kara and gives her a bright smile, briefly taking her in for a hug, before getting back to work checking over Maeve.

"Hello, Maeve. How are you doing?" Kara asks.

"I..... I feel alright.... Supergirl.... I really feel these tests are unnecessary." Maeve replies.

"They are not." Nia quickly says.

"They are certainly necessary." Eliza says, almost at the same time as Nia.

"Yeah, I think you should listen to Eliza and Nia, Maeve. Eliza certainly knows what she is doing, and what she is talking about, and Nia is only concerned about your health, because she's your sister." Kara says.

"Yeah..... I guess you're right, Supergirl." Maeve replies, with a sigh.

"She is." Nia nods.

"You can just call me, Kara." Kara says, "You probably already overheard Nia calling me that."
