Kryptonian

Safe?

I don't own Supergirl!!!

'Am I safe?' Imilli wondered 'Could I say something? What should I do?'

Alex walked back into the room "Hey," she sat down next to Imilli and took her shaking hand "It's okay. Listen, I know you probably don't want to stay here for too much longer. So, would you like to come home with me?"

Imilli looked up, shocked. Why would this nice lady want her? She was broken and worthless. The alien men who had kept her captive had told her that time and time again.

Alex saw the shock in the girl's face and quickly said "I would love for you to stay with me."

Slowly, Imilli nodded. If this woman was serious and really, truly wanted her to go home with her then maybe not everyone on Earth was as bad as her captors had been. She should give Alex a chance.

Alex grinned widely and moved forward to hug the small girl. Imilli allowed it, to Alex's surprise, and while she didn't hug back, she did pat Alex on the back gently.

"We can leave as soon as the doctors check you one last time." Alex let go of Imilli "I'll go get one of them now and then we can go shopping for some new clothes for you." And she hurried off, leaving Imilli alone with her thoughts and worries.

'What if she doesn't like me?' Imilli wondered to herself 'What if she decides I'm nothing more than a burden who should be on the streets?'

The doctor came in and Imilli tried to push those thoughts out of her mind, Alex wouldn't do that. She had invited her to stay with her in her home. That was nothing but kind and selfless. As she was being poked and prodded she looked out the window to see Alex talking to one of the women who had saved her, the one with the large 'S' on her chest, what was her name? Keira? No, that wasn't right. Kara. That was it.

Outside

Alex and Kara stood outside the window looking in on Imilli and talking.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Kara asked worriedly "It's going to be a lot of work especially with her past."

"I'm doing this Kara, I think it's for the best, and she can learn to be human just like you and Clark have. I can help her." Alex sighed.

"If you're sure," Kara hugged her sister "Then I support you. And I'll help you too."

The doctor came out just as the heartfelt embrace finished "She's clear. Her injuries are all almost all healed, and she seems to be much calmer."

"I can take her home then?" Alex asked.

"Yes ma'am, although I do recommend some counseling, maybe here at the DEO, for the trauma she's endured."

"Of course." And Alex went inside to talk to Imilli.

Before the doctor could follow Kara grabbed her arm gently "Is she safe to be around? She's not going to go crazy and try to kill my sister, is she?"

"With proper care and counseling she should be alright. I do advise care and patience though. She might startle easily or try to avoid physical contact, she could become angry or upset easily over little things that seem insignificant but may trigger memories of her imprisonment." The doctor told the superhero.

Kara nodded and released the doctor to return to her medical room. Worried, Kara checked her phone to see she was needed at CatCo and she flew off to see what was going on.

Snapper was waiting for her "Finally." He grumbled.

"What's going on?" Kara hurried to follow her boss.

"New story. An alien girl was found in the basement of a house belonging to another alien and some of his ugly friends. A neighbor saw the whole raid. They think it was the feds. I want you to go interview the neighbor, the police, Supergirl. Anybody."

"Oh-oh?"

"Go!"

"Okay!" And Kara dashed out the door to get the story she already knew.

Back at the DEO

"Are you ready?" Alex asked Imilli as she entered the medical room.

Imilli, sitting on the bed swinging her legs, nodded and got up.

"We'll go home and get you settled in then we'll go shopping for some new clothes." Alex grinned and led the girl out and away.
