Twins - Supergirl AU

Chapter Eight

I sighed, taking a seat under the kryptonite lights, which were painful, to say the least. When I sat down, I looked at my arm. The bullet was glowing brightly so I took a deep breath and grit my teeth, fishing for it until I finally found it and pulled it out. I threw it to the ground, realising that the bullet wasn't the kryptonite that was hurting me now and it was useless discarding it like that. I ripped off a strip of fabric from my shirt and wrapped it tight around the wound.

I then thought it would be a great idea to attack the glass walls of my cell and I ended up covering the wall in blood from my arm and my knuckles. When I finished, I collapsed onto my back onto the floor and closed my eyes out of exhaustion.

"You thought you would give up already?" I sat up to see who was talking and I was surprised to see 23 standing there.

"What are you doing here?" I grumbled. "Don't you have somewhere to be, like pretending to be Kara Danvers or something." She went to fire back but the doors opened. Alex walked in and 23's whole mood changed into someone that looked too much like me.

"You know... this charade is getting old. Why won't you just accept that Alex knows me well enough to.." She turned around, pretending that she had only just seen my sister. "Hi!"

"I came in to patch up the bullet hole." Alex stepped forward and put a hand over the control panel. "If you try anything, Kara will take you down." I nodded and Alex opened the door. 23 smirked at me and left Alex to fix my arm, big mistake. A mistake that would be her downfall.

Mon-El's POV

I was beginning to worry. Kara hadn't been back to work since my brother shoved her off of Catco. I couldn't bring myself to call her. Every time I closed my eyes I envisioned her falling to her death and it pained me that she was alive and I couldn't tell her the truth. It killed me that I couldn't get a hold of her to tell her that I wanted her to come to the roof so I could confess my feelings, not to throw her off the edge.

"Mike? Are you okay?" I looked up from the desk and smiled. "You look pretty zoned out, what's wrong?"

"Have you heard from Lena Luthor or Kara Danvers lately?" Cat furrowed her brow and I waited intently for her to answer me.

"Lena Luthor is..." Cat's voice caught and a tear dropped from her eye. She didn't need to say more after that, I could tell that Lena wasn't alive.

"Oh..." I looked down, then suddenly, I started to panic. "What about Kara? Is she dead?"

"No, she's..." Cat turned and pointed at a figure sitting at a desk. I nodded and stood, trying not to use my speed to run to her and just go at human speed.

"Kara?" She jumped when I put a hand on her shoulder. Her 

"Mon... I thought... I didn't think you would be so quick to... nevermind." She was acting weird, I could tell something was off.

"Are you okay?"

"Are you referring to when you threw me off a building? Because I was fine after that, yeah." The attitude in her voice wasn't her either. There was somthing very wrong.

"That wasn't me, Kara." I knew it would sound ridiculous to her but it was true. "I have a brother who has technology that can alter a person's appearance. I got the looks in the family so naturally, he pretends to be me all the time." I joked to lighten the mood, "I wanted to go to the roof to tell you that I loved you, not to push you off." but Kara just stood.

"I would've thought that a Daxamite would be better at lying." She walked away, heading for Lena's office. I followed her, bewildered that she would make a comment like that. Kara Danvers might be the grumpier twin but she sure wasn't this mean all the time.

"What's going on? You're different and it's scaring me." I grabbed her arms, pulling her close.

"Just leave me alone." She stormed into Lena's office and packed a few things into boxes. I thought now would be a good time to just let her be. I wanted to help her clean out Lena's office but I also wanted her to be happy and leaving her alone for now would do that.

Alex's POV

I grabbed 23's arm roughly, not caring if I hurt her or not. She yelped when I did and I noticed cuts over her knuckles.

"You had a great time assulting the walls of your cell, didn't you?"

"You have to believe me. I'm Kara, that... monster is 23, not me." She looked sincere but I knew that it wasn't her.

"The wound is infected. I would try and keep it elevated if I were you. I'll bring in medication if you need it." I grabbed a needle out of my bag to take blood samples and she stood, running t the other side of the cell with a look of complete fear in her eyes. "You're a great actress."

"Alex, you know how much I hate needles, and why." I looked her in the eyes and just saw pain and fear. It was too alike my sister to be anything but. "Please, Alex. Don't hurt me."

"Come here." I grabbed her arm and she cried in pain. "I would say this won't even sting but after what you have done, 23, I hope it does hurt." I pulled a knife from my boot, ready to get revenge for Lena.

I walked out of the cell an hour later, feeling like I had done something wrong. What if my sister was really locked up and 23 was parading around as Kara? No! I had to believe that my sister was at Catco, safe from harm. But with Mon-El there, I was worried that she wasn't as safe as I had previously assumed.

Amber's POV

I flew into the window of Lena's apartment. I took in the smells and memories of my late girlfriend's house. As I looked around, every spot in every room made a different memory come to light.

I looked over at the kitchen and thought of when Lena tried to teach me to cook and we got food everywhere.

I looked at the couch and remembered the numerous times our feelings and urges would interrupt movie night.

This was only the second time I had visited after her death but it hurt more than last time. All the furniture was gone, her memory and whole life in National City had been in this tiny apartment. 

"Amber?" I turned around. "Why is my apartment empty?"
