Stronger Together

Chapter Three : Failure

Lena's POV:

I hope Kara is okay, she seemed pretty shaken up when she left my office. I hope she didn't do anything stupid, after what she did earlier....
I felt tears in my eyes as I thought of Kara going through this by herself. She deserves better than this, all she ever does is save people and make them happy. All she deserved is happiness and laughter yet she gets this? One of my many reasons why the world is a cruel, unfair place.

My phone started vibrating. Alex was calling me.
That's weird, Alex never called me unless it was about Kara ...
Shakily, I unlocked my phone, brought it to my ear and said "Hello?"

All I heard were hysterics on the other end. This triggersd something in me to start covering my panic and determine what was wrong with Alex.

"Alex! Alex, what's wrong?" I Demanded, refusing yo let my voice crack.

"Its... Kara... Come.. To the DEO..." She said, in between sobs, and then hung up the phone.

Immediately getting up and rushing out of my office, I told Jess to cancel all my plans for the evening and that I was attending a personal affair.

I jumped in my car and rushed over to the DEO, maybe going a little over the speed limit in the process.

In the doorway to the entrance, I saw Hank who immediately gestured for me to follow him. His eyes were slightly red but I didn't want to jump to conclusions about Kara. By now, silent tears of fear were running down my face and I didn't even attempt to wipe them away.
He lead me into some sort of hospital bay, taking so many twists and turns that my head began to spin.
Finally I saw the familiar jumper and jeans duo that I had become so attached too. She had tubes going in and out of her, she was unconscious with her sister holding her hand next to her.

I ran to her other side, grabbed her hand and wiping her golden hair out of her face. I know how much she hates her hair in her face.

"What happened?" I asked Alex, quietly as to not make the crying women jump.

She just looked at me with sad eyes, her hand raising to muffle her sobs. I briefly let go of Kara's hand to comfort Alex. I slowly lifted her to her feet and let her crumble against me, her arms instantly wrapping around my neck, her head on my shoulder with my arms supporting her around her back. I don't know how long er were like that but after a while, we heard Kara stirring.

"Wha... Where am i?" She asked, instantly sitting up and looking around her.

"Shhh... Sweetie, your in the DEO" Alex said, rushing to her side and laying her sister back down on the bed.

Kara's POV:

I heard talking. I saw bright lights. Everything seemed louder then usual. I felt my chest moving up and down and knew I was alive.

I had failed.
The one thing I wanted to do.
I couldn't even do it right.
I had failed to kill myself.
Again.

I opened my eyes and groaned at the bright lights. I didn't recognise where I was at first and panicked.

"Wha... Where am I?" I asked, seeing figures in the room. I couldn't see properly so I didnt know who they were.

"Sweetie, your in the DEO" a voice said.
Alex. My sister. Of course she wouldn't let me go that easily. She probably used my tracker to get me.

I closed my eyes and mumbled something.

"Why couldn't you let me die"

I opened my eyes again to see a sympathetic, broken Alex and a horrified Lena.
