Hank and Alex

Hurt

#

I was watching a show with Kara when she gave out a dejected sigh. I looked at her in worry I was still feeling terribly guilty. Killing Astra was both my biggest mistake and not at the same time. I hated that Kara's last real family had been killed by my hand. But I couldn't lose J'onn not when I had only just found him.

"I should go to bed." She looked at me with tears in her eyes

Seeing my disappointed face she explained. "I've got to see Miss Grant tomorrow between what happened with Adam and missing work, it's Oh, it's bad. It's really bad." She groaned I felt sympathy for her

"Hey no thinking, just cuddling." I wrapped her in a huge embrace and felt her sink into me and for a moment I felt like I was a little girl again comforting her after a bad dream this moment was promptly ruined by what Kara said next.

"You want to know the really messed up part? I miss Astra." I pulled back and Kara looked at me with sadness

"I was getting through to her, Alex. If I had just had a little more time, I could've brought her home. Brought her back. If Hank hadn't." When she said his name I saw hate fill her eyes worryingly

"Kara, there's something I need to tell you" I started I couldn't let J'onn take the blame for something that I had done, Kara would hate him if I didn't tell her. But would she hate me instead?

Suddenly I heard the window slam open and we both jumped up. I looked around expecting to see someone. When I saw that no one was there I let out a breath of relief.

"Just a bit jumpy I guess." I turned to Kara

"It would be so easy to kill you right now." I heard a snarl sound

I grabbed my gun my heart hammering knowing that Non could kill us in one moment.

"Get out." Kara coldly snarled back getting ready to fight

"I need you to come with me." He looked down

"Not a chance." I had my gun pointed steadily at him ready to shoot if he didn't go

"You have no part of this, human. I come for Astra." Suddenly a torment of guilt swept past me he was still grieving for his wife

"Not myself." He finished looking past me at Kara whom seemed to be moving towards him

"Kara, no." Knowing that she was about to go what if she got hurt

"I'll be all right." With that she jumped out the window after her uncle

I called J'onn the moment she had gone.

"Henshaw." For once I didn't stop to giggle at his tough guy voice

"J'onn, Non came for Kara and she went with him." I said frantically

"Right I'm coming over." Not two seconds later I saw J'onn flying through the same window Kara had left not ten minutes ago.

"Alex what happened?" He ran in realizing that Kara wasn't there

"Non came and said that he needed Kara and...and that it was for Astra." I stammered thinking why had I let Kara go

"It sounds like the kryptonian funeral. I think that we can let Kara go but I'm going to get the satellites to pinpoint where they are, lets head back to the DEO." He wrapped a protective arm around me and pulled me closer.

"Alex, she'll be okay. I won't let anything happen to her." I just nodded numbly

We got to the DEO where to my surprise Kara was already waiting for us. She threw a look at Hank that made my heart stop. It was even dirtier than the one she had given him when I hadn't trusted him.
