On my Island (Kara x Reader)

18. My secret to tell

Y/n pov

I feel my whole body feeling more normal than before, it's not as cold, it's not as... i don't know what but it feels right. But that warmth that i was feeling the last time i woke up... or had i woken up, could it all have been a dream?

As i open my eyes i'm meet by the hard light of sunlight. No, not sunlight, sunlamps. Like the ones that gives Supergirl her powers on earth. I feel it's warmths tickling my skin and i realise that i'm no longer in all those clothes i put on. Only a pair of white shorts and matching top.

I try to move but something moves inside my arm and i realise i'm hoked up to a bunch of machines. And as i look around i realise that i'm not in a hospital. This must be the DEO and... where's Kara? I could have sworn she was laying next to me just a second ago.

But as i try to move i see someone entering the room, that bundle of blond that i love more than anything in the world stuffing her face full of fries. And i can't help the laughter that erupts from my throat at the sight. Her face jerks up to see me sitting up in the bed, laughing.

She drops the fries on the floor as she calls out a name. "Alex." And runs up to me. How had i not figured out that Alex is DEO, seems so obvious now. The way her eyes look at me is as if i'm the at the centre of the universe for her. "Are you okay? How are you feeling, does anything hurt?" Her hands barely move to touch me, only hover lightly above my arm.

"I feel like i wanted some of those fries." I try to joke but her face is etched in stone, etched in worry. Tears are falling down her cheeks and i can't stop myself from bringing my hand up to brush them away. But as soon as my hand meets her skin she breaks down in sobs and her hands finally touch me, falling over to hug me. Her head pressed against my chest, as if listening to my heart beat.

Alex comes running in, stepping over the fries, to see the scene unfolding. My hand has travelled all around to her neck and i feel how my fingers are entangles with her hair. A sob even racks through me as Alex comes up my other side to hold my hand. It all felt like a dream, like a nightmare.

"How are you feeling, Y/n?" Alex asks as she looks between me and the monitor.

"Warm." I answer and even let out a small laugh, trying not to move for Kara still crying. "And hungry, did any of the fries not touch the floor or your shoes?" And to that even Alex laughs.

"I'll see what i can get, just..." She looks at Kara and i know what she means. What really happened? She squeezes my hand once more before giving me a smile and heading back out, hopefully to get more fries.

"Hey, Kara, you're kind of squeezing me here." It's mean as a joke but she gets up so fast that i don't think she got it. Somehow, even with her superspeed, i catch her hand before she's too far away. "I didn't tell you to let go."

Her hand comes back up to my face to brush some hair out of my face. "You have no idea of how scared i was, finding you like that. What were you thinking?" I can't tell if she's mad or not, because she's still crying and honestly, i've never actually seen Kara mad. Irritated, yes, but never mad.

Leaning into her touch i answer. "I missed my house." Is all i want to answer, but i know i need to tell her. If someone. But i change the subject. "What happened?"

"Power went out in the whole city during the snow storm, and i couldn't find you. We even checked your brothers apartment but you weren't there." She sniffles. "But then, when i was flying over the city i heard someone scream, i heard you scream. You screamed my name. I don't think i've ever flown so fast like i did to that island, which is kind of nice sort of if it wasn't overrun by snow. You were close to ice blue when i found you by the fireplace."

"I'm so sor..." But she doesn't let me even apologise for what i must have put her through.

"Don't even, it's my fault. If it weren't for me there wouldn't even have been a blackout. I was in this fight with an alien at a powerplant, he caused the storm and our fight caused the blackout." I hold onto her hand as i feel the ache starting to lift.

"Kara, it's okay. I'm fine. And honestly, i probably should have checked the backup generators before. Actually they were pretty shocking." I joke again but her face is still frozen serious and in worry. "I guess you're till wondering about the island?"

"Yes, and from now on you're never going anywhere i don't know where it is." And finally her mouth breaks from all seriousness and into that smile i love so much.

And i can't help from saying it outloud. "There's that smile i love and miss." A blush spreads upon her cheeks as i take a deep breath and tell her everything. Everything there is to know about the island, why it's important and why i go there at this specific date every year. And Kara holds my hand throughout it all.
