Broken Hearts

Dreams

Alex is deep in sleep, but something seems off. She squirms in bed, and Maggie wakes up, still half asleep, and rubs her shoulder. "Shh, its okay. Its just a dream."

But Alex can't hear her as she can't help but feel trapped in her own head. 

Alex is in somewhere dark. Or maybe its the other way around. The darkness is somewhere in her.

She is huddled up in a corner, the air crisp and cold. It bites her skin and makes her hairs stand on end. Goosebumbs spread across her arms. But something is wrong. Am I in a dream?

It feels so much more real than any other dream she has had before.

"I know you're there!" She calls out into the blackness. Her voice echoes. "Stop messing with my head!" She cries, anger growing low in her voice.

"I'm...I'm not messing with your head, Alex! You have to beleive me!"

Alex has dreams like this frequently, but they usually all end in Lillian Luthor killing Kara in gruesome ways. Sometimes even Alex is the one killing her.

But she usually is screaming at her own subconcious. Nothing ever repiles. Until now.

Alex pounds the balls of her hands against her temples. "It's just the injury, it's not real." She mutters to herself.

"Alex, I know that you got hurt, and I know that you are blaming this on yourself, but its not your fault! I promise you my world it's not your fault! You just have to beleive me on this one. I am here! I am alive!"

She jolts up from bed.

"Not possible. Not possible. Not possible." She repeats to herself.

Alex starts to rock back and forth. She runs her hands through her hair. She drags her palms down her face.

"Hey, hey. What's wrong, Danvers?" Maggie whispers to her with a soothing voice. Alex catches her breath, and then she can suddenly think straight. "It's..." The fight slips from her voice. "It's nothing, just go back to sleep."

Maggie nods her head and sinks back into the bed, followed by Alex. But Alex waits until she is fast asleep and then tries to fall back asleep herself. But she can't, so instead she stares at the ceiling. Just like good old times.

She hears the the doctors the next morning. Alex swallows thickly. She heard all about the paralysis from the waist down.

"Did anything come up?" She asks nervously. It's clear that she has been tearing herself up about this.

There is a groan and Alex turns to see Maggie awakening. She smiles and Alex smiles back.

"Ahh, perfect timing. You woke up just for me to break the news." The doctor smiles and a weight is lifted from the room.

His smile means something good, right?

"Well, your paralysis is just temporary. It will last a month, garunteed."

Maggie and Alex look at eachother. They both start to laugh. They find comfort in one another. It makes this journey a whole lot easier.

"Does that mean I can leave?" Alex asks, maybe sounding a little more excited than usual.

"I would prefer if you would stay for some more tests, but I guess we could do those tomorrow. I see no problem with you leaving, as long as there is someone with you at all times."

They assigned Maggie Sawyer to be her "babysitter" per say. Alex was finally aloud to leave, and oh God how it was refreshing. But she has something else on her mind, and she has to get away from Maggie to help her get to her true destination.

It feels odd being in a wheelchair, but she got used to it after a while. "Hey, can we go to the bar? I'm not gonna drink, but I was hoping to talk to Mon-El." She says.

Maggie shoots her a weird look, but doesn't question it. They go to the alien bar.

Alex rolls in and a bright smile spreads across Mon-El's face. "I'm so happy you are okay!" He squeals, ignoring the wheelchair.

"Thanks, Mon-El, but I was hoping I could talk to you." She sneaks a glance at Maggie. "Alone."

The daxamite swallows, a bad feeling stiring in his stomach, but ultimately nods. He takes her to the back when Maggie is too distracted by pool and a little booze.

"What's up?"

"Well, I need you because I need your super speed to give me a ride without being noticed."

"To where?" He asks, wondering if he should just bring him back to Maggie or not.

"L-Corp."

Lena Luthor has not been having a good time over the past two years. She kidnapped her own best friend for her own sickening reasons. Then her own mother killed her, because Kara killed Lex. But she blames herself...for all of it. Her self hatred, just like Alex, has turned into self loathing in booze.

Neither one of them know how to cope.

Alex hasn't really thought much about the Luthor since, until now. A small part of her blames Lena too, but she remembers that they might not have made it out of that predicimate two years ago if it wasn't for her.

Lena was surprised when her best friend's sister, walked in, or rolled in. She froze and gasped.

"Oh my God, Alex! What happened? Are you okay?" The Luthor panics, rushing to her.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just a DEO mission gone wrong." She lied and waved her off.

"But..." She paused. Is this a good idea?

"But that's not why I'm here."

Lena's brows knotted together and her silence is a way of telling Alex to continue.

"Look, I'm not here to give you shit about the past. That's behind us and nothing can change it." Lena swallows her guilt, continuing to stay quiet.

"But I'm here becuase something had happened and I think there is more to the story than what appears two years ago." Alex explains, careful not to let her guard down. She has barely even mentioned that night until now.

Lena's stomach twists and turns as she stares at the ground, feeling crazy guilty. She musters up her emotions and puts them into tiny little boxes, locking them up forever. And with a deep breath, she looks back up from the floor.

"So, what are you saying?"

"I think that Kara is alive."

Wooh, what a plot twist right? Well I am feeling super creative and inspired so I might be updating this story a lot. I am getting excited by my own story line!
Also, if you were confused on the whole Lena kidnapping thing and Lex Luthor dying, it's because I didn't mention this, but this is actually a sequel to my hit story. Lena Finds Out (One Shot). So, if you wanna be all caught up, go and read that story!
Hope you enjoyed!
