Supercorp/Supergirl - Short Stories/Scenes/One Shots

Now Or Never

So I got my first request. The person has decided to remain untagged, but here is the prompt I do hope I did it justice.

Based on episodes 20 and 21 of season 4.
Lena finds out the Kara and Supergirl are the same and gets mad at Kara. When Kara is kidnapped by the president and ends up facing red daughter, she gets shot in the body rather than the arms. Sat on death's door, she decides to go to Lena rather than J'onn. What better time to say goodbye? Red daughter attacks, almost dying in the process. Faced with regret and an overwhelming wave of panic Lena doesn't know what to do. She'll try to help, wanting of course to save the dying hero but can she find a solution in time? Seeing very few options she calls in reinforcements by the names of Alex Danvers and Samantha Arias. Sparks will fly but so will bullets and memories will come a-knocking. There's only so much you can do while making up for lost time.

Narrator's POV

"Hey, have you heard from Kara? She's not answering any of my calls." Alex was worried if anyone else had as reckless a sister as she did they would be too. Whether she was or wasn't Supergirl, the woman was not particularly responsible.
"She went to tell the President what we found." Technically that was true, it didn't mention all the danger she was in though.
"Kara's okay." If only Lena had known how much irony that one answer could hold.

In the capital 2 halves were finally being reunited, only not in the way one hoped.
"I'm supposed to kill you, you know." Known as sisters to one and one to the other, either way, there could truly only be one of that bloodline.
"I see that." There was a long conversation between the two before finally Supergirl broke free and went to run. The gun hadn't gone off in the heat of the battle, instead firing when the opportunity presented itself, landing a bullet right in the chest of the hero about to soar. The only indication that it had landed on its target was the grunt she let out as she both broke out the window and flew away. Flying home proved a lot more difficult while losing blood at the same time. She'd already changed though, didn't want to bloody up the coat Lena brought her. She could pick up her clothes later. Who could she go to for help? She didn't know where Alex was and she kind of didn't like Supergirl. So her own sister was out. J'onn could only do so much. She needed a genius, Lena. Well, if it didn't work, what better time to say goodbye? Hopefully, Lena could save her, or who knew what her brother would be free to do.

Lena's POV

Finally, I had taken Kara's advice and left work at a decent time. I needed sleep. There was a large selection of pyjamas for me to pick from at least. People had sent me numerous sets of Supergirl and Superman memorabilia. Stationary sets, lunch boxes, bags, shirts, sweaters, pyjamas, the whole lot. May as well use it, right? Most of the stuff I anonymously donated, but the pyjamas were so comfy. On cold nights the Supergirl onesie, that had a cape, was perfect with some thin clothes underneath. A knocking at my window just before I was going to get into bed was not. It was frantic and there was only one person it could be. Supergirl. Who else could land on my balcony?

Her head was bowed as she continued knocking, what was going on? When she finally lifted her head and spotted me she stumbled backwards slightly. I had to help her. I only opened the door for her. As she pulled her hand away from her chest, I only saw blood. She went to step towards me, only for her legs to give out underneath her. I caught her, I couldn't let her just fall when she obviously needed my help.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Panic was building within me, I'd never seen her like this.
"Kryptonite." One word. One word that could destroy both my hope and her in general. The suit could only work if I knew what state the kryptonite was in. She just needed to hold on.

She needed surgery and sun lamps by the looks of it, one of which I couldn't provide. This was where I lived I didn't just have those things handy. My office had more than enough equipment but I still wasn't a surgeon, Alex was though. It may have been late, but we'd made a promise to help and we couldn't just leave Supergirl to try to help herself. I called Sam too, she'd been working on control and unlocking her powers. We needed some brawn. Unsurprisingly, it did not take much convincing to get the ladies on their way. Sam was flying and Alex only lived around the corner, this could actually work. The whole thing had probably taken only 5 minutes to set up, now all I had to do was get Supergirl to my office.
"I don't have the resources here, we need to get to my office." All I needed to do was message my driver and use the time to get dressed. Apparently Supergirl has other ideas. As she listened to me, she also pushed herself off the wall and walked towards me.
"Let's go then." She offered me her hand, and I stupidly thought it was to help her. Nope. She picked me up, and we flew out my balcony door and into the night.
