Kryptonian

Falling

I don't own Supergirl!!!

Imilli was placed in a bed and given a sedative to calm her down and let her sleep. Kara and Alex stood outside the window, looking in on the sleeping girl.

"What's wrong with her?" Alex asked the doctor as she came out "Is she okay?"

"She'll be fine. A few bumps and bruises, some badly bruised ribs, and a nasty concussion." The doctor assured the sisters "I'm more worried about her mental state. But there's something else you should know. Her cells are reacting to something and making her more powerful. We couldn't get the needle in her skin to give her the sedative, we had to put it in liquid form and have her drink it."

"What are you saying?" Kara asked "She's an alien?"

"More than that." The doctor told them "We think she might be Kryptonian."

"Oh my God!" Alex whispered "Another Kryptonian?"

"I want to see her. The minute she wakes up." Kara said sternly.

The doctor nodded and went back to her patient.

Alex turned to her sister "You and Kal aren't the only kryptonians on earth anymore."

"No. It's weird but kinda exciting." Kara looked at her phone "I gotta get to work. I'll see you later, Alex."

"See you." Alex turned back to the window as her sister walked away. The kid couldn't be more than 15 but she had clearly been through more than most DEO agents.

Imilli was in a strange place. She couldn't move, open her eyes, or do anything. She simply lay there for hours. Finally she used all her strength and moved her pinky finger.

"She moved! She's waking up!" A voice yelled excitedly.

Imilli tried to open her heavy eyelids and ever so slowly, they fluttered open. She was under bright yellow lamps in a white room. Painfully, Imilli pushed herself up into a sitting position. She looked around, terror plain in her eyes.

"Hey, hey! It's okay!" Agent Danvers' voice rang out over the din of other voices "Back up! Let her breathe. She needs some space. Someone send a message to Supergirl."

Imilli moaned in pain as a sharp ache was sent through her back. She then clapped her hands over her mouth, ignoring the tears that sprang to her eyes. To make a sound was, according to her master, the worst thing she could do besides fighting back. She had made that mistake only once.

"It's okay. Calm down. No one's going to hurt you. I promise." Agent Danvers told her "Do you remember me? I'm Agent Danvers, Alex."

Imilli slowly nodded and looked around the brightly lit room. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Slowly the events of earlier came back to her. She was safe. But she didn't feel safe. She felt terrified and weak. Suddenly, she realized that she had been clutching the metal side of the bed, bending it nearly in half.

She let go and stared at the crushed rod.

Agent Danvers, Alex, reached over and took her hand "It's okay. You've been under yellow sun lamps. You're a Kryptonian, that means you have powers thanks to the sun. It's going to be alright. My sister is Kryptonian too. She can help you understand and control your powers."

Imilli shuddered suddenly and jerked her hand away, staring at it with wide eyes. Her hand was shaking and she grasped her wrist to try and steady it.

Kara hurried into the room and said "Can we have a moment alone with her?"

The doctors nodded and left the room. Kara sat down next to the bed, noticing but not commenting on the squished metal.

"My name's Kara," Alex's sister said "I'm going to help you. You don't need to be scared of me or anyone else here. We just want to help you get better and keep you safe."

Imilli was still staring at her trembling hand, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes.

Mon-El walked into the room "Kara!" He called and Imilli jumped at the sound of his voice. She pressed herself backwards against the bed and whimpered.

"Who's she?" Mon-El asked, noticing Imilli for the first time "Is she okay?"

"Mon-El!" Kara said sharply and pushed him, as gently but firmly as she could, out of the door, once outside she started explaining what happened "We saved her earlier today during that raid on the rogue alien hideout. She was in the basement and chained up. There's something else...we think she's Kryptonian."

"Wow." Mon-El's mouth dropped open "So you and Clark aren't the only Kryptonians still alive? That's...just...wow!"

"I know. But, Mon-El, she's very scared of people. Especially men. I think she was mostly around the male aliens and they're the ones who hurt her. So, maybe, try and keep your distance for a little while."

"Of course. I understand." Mon-El nodded "But where will she stay? She can't stay at the DEO for long. And I don't think she'd be comfortable in a cell."

"She can stay with me." Alex said, coming out of the room "She trusts me, at least a little. I think I can help her."

"If you're sure, but Alex, raising an alien kid isn't going to be easy. Do you think you can do it?" Kara asked.

"I have to. Otherwise I won't."
