So I am very sorry it took so long to update this chapter! I started writing it a few months ago, but never got around to finishing it because of school. So I had some free time today and decided I might as well post it (even though it wasn't finished) just so y'all would stop yelling at me. (JK I love the yelling) Well I hope you all like this new chapter!
<><><><><><><><>
Barry and Joe walked into the med bay and found absolute chaos. Caitlin was trying to attach monitors to Kara and Alex wouldn't let her for some reason.
"Caitlin stop what you're doing!" Alex yelled.
"Alex, even if I wasn't a doctor, I'd be able to tell that Kara is not okay. I need to hook her up to the monitors so I can see what the hell is the matter. I understand that you are her sister, but please let me do my job and help her."
"I think I am perfectly qualified to take care of my sister considering I've been functioning as her doctor for the past three years. So I'd appreciate if you and your team would leave so I can do MY job. The one thing you can do to help Kara is find me the biggest solar lamp you have."
Caitlin looked at Alex skeptically, and Alex momentarily blanked.
"It...uh...helps me see better." She managed to stammer out.
Barry, Joe, Cisco, and Caitlin just stood there. Alex raised her eyebrow and 'shoo'ed them away with her hand.
As they left, Alex turned to look at Kara laying prone on the table.
"Alex, what are we going to do? Asking them for a sun lamp was strange enough, how are we actually going to do anything to help Kara without outing her as Supergirl?" Winn worried.
"I'm thinking." Alex answered, her face covered with anxiety.
"Here is your solar lamp." Cisco declared, waltzing right into the med bay.
"Cisco!" Alex yelped.
All of the super friends immediately recognized Alex's 'I have an idea face.'
"Cisco, my dear, dear friend, do you think you could maybe turn the video cameras in the med bay off? My sister really values her privacy and I don't think she would appreciate you being able to watch us working on her."
"Why? So Barry, Caitlin, and Joe don't figure out that the needles won't actually pierce her skin?"
No one was able to speak for a full minute.
"You know?" Alex demanded.
"Have for a while now. Kara even knows that I know."
"How?" J'onn joined, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Facial recognition can be a bitch. And don't worry Kara already threatened me, but yes I will turn off the video feed. It should be her choice to tell someone. She is too good to have that choice taken away from her." Cisco walked out of the med bay and the team got to work.
Alex hooked Kara up to a heart monitor. J'onn moved the solar lamps so they were above Kara. Alex had started to take Kara's vitals when the heart monitor went haywire.
<><><><><><><><>
"I don't understand why Alex made us leave. I know I haven't know Kara for as long as she has, but in the short time we have known each other we've gotten close. I care about her. I want to be able to know what's going on. I haven't felt this helpless since Iris." Barry was moping.
Joe put his arm around Barry as they made their way to the Speed lab.
"Think about it from Alex's perspective, her sister is barely holding on. I bet she is very worried and needed to be able to work without us looking over her shoulder. Son, I think everyone in this building will agree with me when I say that we will all do everything we can to make sure that what happened to Iris will never happen to anyone ever again. Especially not Kara. I can see how much you two have grown to care for each other."
"I appreciate that, Joe, I really do. But Alex could have at least let Caitlin stay. I mean she is a doctor."
"Yes, but it seems like Alex is one as well. Kara is in good hands Barry, don't worry."
They stopped in the middle of the hallway, no longer caring about going to the Speed Lab. Cisco eventually joined them and they stood there talking about meaningless things for what felt like forever. That's when Barry heard it. His eyes went wide.
"Shit! That's the heart monitor!" Barry ran to the med bay, trying very hard to get there quickly without using his powers. Caitlin, Joe, and Cisco eventually all caught up behind him. Everyone had stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of Kara Danvers floating ten feet above the ground.
<><><><><><><><>
The heart monitor went haywire seconds before Kara shot off the bed and hovered above the ground, far out of anyone's reach. Alex's eyes went wide, the heart monitor was load enough that you could probably hear it throughout the building. So she probably had ten seconds tops to get Kara back in the bed before everyone in the building came running. It might be a tight squeeze considering how confused Kara looked.
"Kara I need you to lay back on the bed."
"Why?" Kara looked around and seemingly became more confused by the second, "Where am I?" Kara's confusion was bordering on panic.
"What is going on?" Alex looked up to see Joe, Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco standing in the room with their jaws on the ground.
"Shit." Alex muttered.
"I'm going to say it once more. What the hell is going on?!" Barry demanded.
<><><><><><><><>
Team Supergirl had managed to get Kara back into the bed and ease some of her confusion. Winn was standing next to her and quietly explaining everything that had happened. Everyone else had formed a protective line in front of her. They were trying to deal with the mess that had been created.
Joe was pointing to where Kara had been hovering to her bed and then back again. "How the crap did that happen?"
Alex leaned over to J'onn, "Can we trust them or do you need to wipe their minds?" J'onn straightened up before looking into their minds.
He started with Caitlin. He saw her talking to a man who sacrificed himself when the particle accelerator exploded and felt the loss and anguish she had felt when that man had died. He felt the joy and happiness when Barry woke from a coma. So much pain and loss in someone so sweet. J'onn decided Caitlin reminded him very much of a particular kryptonian. He determined that Caitlin was a trustworthy person.
He moved on to Joe. He saw all the drama unfold with his wife and daughter. J'onn paused and thought it was weird that he had never heard of or seen Joe's daughter. He continued and saw Barry moving in with the Wests, the years he spent working at the CCPD, Barry falling into a coma, waking up as the Flash, Wally coming into his life and becoming Kid Flash. As J'onn got closer to the end of Joe's memories he realized why he had never heard of the daughter. He watched her very painful death play out right in front of him. This man had experienced such lose, but was still so kind at heart. J'onn felt he could relate to Joe, J'onn's own children had died, while he also had his adoptive superhero family.
Barry was next. Just from looking at the other's memories, there were so many question marks surrounding him. J'onn saw his mother being murdered and his father going to jail for it. He saw Barry going to live with the Wests, Barry falling in love with Iris, Barry becoming the Flash, proposing to Iris, and Iris dying. J'onn saw so much sadness and then happiness when Kara came to live with him. Interesting.
J'onn deemed them all trustworthy. He didn't feel the need to look into Cisco's mind considering he had kept Kara's secret for weeks.
J'onn leaned back over to Alex. "We can trust them."
"That was quick." Alex whispered.
"For you it was. I detest doing that, but I'll do whatever it takes to keep you and Kara safe."
Alex started to explain before she heard a horse voice behind her.
"Alex, let me be the one to explain."
Kara had mostly healed thanks to the sun lamps, but she was still a little weak. She tried to stand up and stumbled a little before J'onn caught her.
"Thanks J'onn." Kara smiled and faced Joe, Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco.
"Well, to put it simply, I'm Supergirl."
