Dr Luthor - Supergirl AU

Doctor?

Lena POV

"So... for the past few days, you weren't avoiding me?" She asked. I looked at her pristine car. There wasn't a speck of dust on it at all. It wasn't new, she had bought it years ago but somehow, it was always clean.

"The day after Clarke caught us, I had to meet my mother for lunch but she drugged me and I woke up this morning on that boat."

"They were going to take you to a remote island. You are lucky I got there to fish you out of the water, the boat's engines were about to start and you were scary close to one."

"I didn't really have much of a choice." I laughed and Kara just kept looking at the road. She slowed down to pull into a driveway but didn't notice the truck heading straight for us. I yelled her name as she swerved to get out of the way of the truck but failing.

"Kara!" I yelled again as everything went black.

I woke up on the cold concrete. My heart was pounding in my chest and I could barely see through the blood and tears that covered my eyes. I looked around frantically for Kara. I couldn't see her anywhere. I saw a man run to me, he rolled me onto my back and started asking if I was okay. I told him I was and he asked about the driver.

"Is she okay? I saw you both in the car."

"I don't know. I don't know!" I just kept repeating it until I saw him straighten up. "What?" He stood and ran to a female form laying on the ground. It was now that I noticed the wreckage that was her car. I tried to stand but failed, then I tried to crawl to Kara, which worked.

"Lena?" Her painful whisper made my heart sink. I knew something was wrong but I couldn't tell what to do.

"Hey." I used my cleaner hand to stroke her hair while the truck driver called 911.

"I don't want to die!" She sobbed. I frantically searched for the right words to say to her.

"You won't die. You'll be okay. You're the surgeon, you know what's going to happen. Alex will take you to an operation theatre and make sure everything will be okay, right?" She nodded, then coughed. She was still crying and clutching her stomach. I was worried that something was wrong, like internal bleeding or something.

"Lena, I should have said it before but..."

"You can tell me later. Tell me when you recover."

"No, I have to tell you now! Lena, I love you. I need you to know that." Tears immediately streamed down my face as I was now realising just how much I loved her back.

"I love you too." I grabbed her hand, half to monitor her pulse and half to comfort her. Then, out of nowhere, I heard sirens and ambulances pull up on the scene. "Here!" I yelled, trying to wave my arms but I soon recognised how much it hurt so I just sat back down to be with Kara. She started closing her eyes but I made sure she kept them open while the ambulance pulled up.

They put her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital. I jumped in the back of the other ambulance while they stitched all of my wounds but as soon as we arrived at the hospital, I ran out and went into the surgery room that they had her in. When Alex looked up and saw me, her eyes widened.

"Lena! Come help." I froze and couldn't move. 

"I... can't." I watched Alex and a few other doctors put a tube down Kara's throat which brought her vitals up a bit. I came a little closer and bent down next to her head. "Just stay with us, Kara. Please. Don't leave me." I whispered.

"Doctor Luthor!" Doctor? How can I be a doctor when I freeze up like this. Yes, I had the degree but I didn't have the guts.

"Hmm?" I glanced up at Alex, who was stitching up the less deep cuts around where the others were operating.

"I need your help." She shooed a few of the surgeons away while I stood and looked at my girlfriend. "You are the only person I can rely on to do this properly. No-one else knows her well enough and cares for her enough to help me."

"Isn't it better for the others to do the surgery? Shouldn't they do it considering we are emotionally biased?" Alex glared at me.

"I need your help if she flatlines. I made an incision so that you can grab her heart and softly do CPR with it in your hand if her heart does stop."

"You want me to literally hold her heart in my hand?"

"Lena, I need you to be a surgeon and help me save my sister."
