You are my Kryptonite

Chapter 8

Lena's POV
    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

My eyes fluttered open, as I smashed my hand down on the snooze button. It's the first time in days that I've actually slept in my own bed and the feeling was almost comforting.

Except... for the fact that I am currently a train wreck. I haven't left my apartment in two days and I haven't heard anything from Alex or the DEO, and it's had me on edge the entire time. I've been working from home, but been burying myself in paperwork and filing. Alex hasn't responded to any of my calls and hasn't texted me back once. I'm getting nervous and don't know if Kara is okay-I don't even know if she's alive!

I sat up in my bed and rubbed my eyes tiredly while getting up to change. I peered in my closet and decided I was going to check up on Alex and the DEO, to confirm my crazy suspicions. Just the thought of Kara even being- No! I'm not going to think negatively like that and immediately assume the worst. Kara is stronger than that, I know she'll be fine.

Before I left my apartment, I grabbed my keys and purse and strode out the door, with a million things rushing through my head. I worried the hell out of me and I didn't think I could take it any longer.

    I knocked on the door to Alex's apartment, hoping she and Kara were both ok. I know I shouldn't immediately think of the worst, but then again, this isn't the first encounter Supergirl and the DEOs had with Reign. Still, it worries me considering, Kara still didn't have her powers and her head was hit pretty hard.

I knocked again and waited but still, no one answered. "Alex? It's me Lena! You home?" I put my eye to the peephole, trying to see inside, without any luck. I placed my ear against the door, listening for any movements or a response, to no avail.

Where the hell else would she- the DEO! I quickly bolted down the hall and the stairs making my way back to my car and driving to the DEO headquarters. How could I be so stupid! It's only been a few days and if Kara was still....hurt they wouldn't bring her to a hospital.

In a few minutes, I arrived at the headquarters and noticed multiple "CAUTION" tape spread around the entire perimeter of the building, as well as construction going on, to fix the hole. Reign must've done quite a number... I stepped out of my car and bolted towards the entrance and saw Alex near the entrance, looking down at a tablet with a bandage wrapped around her head and bruises covering her arms.

     "Oh my god, Alex!" I rushed towards her and engulfed her in a tight hug. She seemed surprised and slightly in pain, but hesitantly hugged me back.

     "Oh. Uh, Lena... that's a little tight, 'round the stomach.."

I pulled away, biting my lip and feeling a bit embarrassed. "Sorry.. I'm just so relieved you're ok and I got worried and no one called me or sent a text and I just had no idea what happened to Kara and I saw Reign when I was leaving and I just ugh! I missed her hugs and cute, bubbly smiles and reassurance all the time and...and.." I quit my rambling and wiped my eyes, realizing I had tears strolling down my cheeks. Alex wrapped her arms around me as I rested my head on her shoulder and just let the tears come. I heard Alex sniffle and soon we were both standing in front of the DEO, sobbing.

Alex pulled away and wiped the tears from my cheek and cracked a small, weak grin. "Do you wanna see Kara now..?"

I nodded my head and she led me into the DEO, which was almost like a construction site on the inside. The ceiling had an enormous hole in it and had rubble and debris scattered around the main lobby. I noticed Brainy and Winn were all huddled around a computer, clearly looking tired and beaten, while J'onn was across the lobby ordering a couple of agents.

Alex and I slumped up the stairs, and walked down a long, sliver hallway until we reached a secure looking door. She opened the door, motioning for me to go in, following close behind me and shutting the door behind us.

      I almost broke down right there in that room at the sight of Kara's limp and hardly breathing body. I saw her chest slowly rising and falling and cuts and bruises, scattered all along her arms. I slowly trudged over to Kara's bed and placed my hand on hers. I turned my head to Alex, my eyes glassy with tears.

      Alex came closer to me and bit the inside of her cheek. "She has severe brain damage,  multiple broken ribs and a fractured arm. If-when she wakes up, she may have zero..." Alex took a deep breath and squeezed her eyes shut, before finishing her sentence. "...she may have zero memory of who she was before." Alex's voice cracked as she held back the tears.

I sat on the edge of Kara's bed and I tucked a strand of her hair, behind her ear. Even completely unconscious, Kara seemed peaceful and happy. I never understood how she was always so optimistic and bubbly when she was in times like these. Kara was always in a good mood and made other people around her happy even when the atmosphere was dark and gloomy.

But right now, I'm depressed, in pain. Feeling like my entire world is slowly collapsing around me, enclosing me in my worst fear. I know Kara and I only recently admitted our true feelings to each other, but ever since that fateful day we met, I knew Kara Danvers was the woman of my dreams. Nothing will change that, even if she won't remember anything. I will find a way to fix Kara. I will make sure she survives this mess, and I know for a fact that she is so much stronger than a few broken ribs, a fractured arm, and a concussion. Kara Danvers will get out of this crazy predicament alive, and I will make sure of it.

*Ok sooo sorry it's been a week but school started back up and it's been a bit hectic, but I will try to update a bit more often in the coming weeks. I will also try to add another chapter by tomorrow and also update "Never Underestimate" also. Hope you all enjoyed!"
