You are my Kryptonite

Chapter 9

LENA'S POV
  
In sat on the edge of Kara's bed, watching her chest slowly rise and fall. It killed me knowing she was in pain like this. I'd been sitting in the medbay watching Kara for nearly an hour and all I could think of was how I could help her, but the thing that made me want to break down and just cry was the fact that I couldn't do anything. All I could do was wait and see if Kara even recovered from this.

I hear the door behind me open and assumed it was Alex but didn't bother to acknowledge her arrival.

    "Lena... I need to talk to you.." Alex croaked in a soft tone. I turned my head around and noticed her eyes were red and puffy from crying.

Alex shuffled over to be chair beside Kara's bed and sat down as she rubbed her eyes, sighing. "So some of the doctors have been wondering.. if.. if maybe you could help them.. find something... something to help Kara.."     

Alex searched for my eyes but I refused to look at her. I guarantee that the stupid DEO doctors have found, next to nothing to help Kara. I could either try and help them, and possibly make a difference in Kara's recovery or I could sit and wait for Kara to die in front of me.

I looked over at Kara's pale, still body then turned back to Alex, who had tears streaming down her cheeks. I could tell she was holding back a tsunami of tears and that she too was also helping the doctors. I needed to do something to help Kara, because if anyone thought I was just going to sit and watch Kara die then they're crazy.

    I stood up from the bed and held Kara's hand to my lips, softly kissing her cold knuckles then gently placed it back down on the side of the bed.

Alex stood up as well and placed her hands on my shoulders. "Please, Lena... for Kara.."

    I pulled Alex into a tight hug, finally letting my tears out, as I whispered into her ear. "If you thought I was just going to watch Kara die, then you're insane."

KARA'S POV

What the hell? Where am I? Why is everything pitch black but everything sounds so loud? Who are those voices?

Lena..? Alex..? I feel like I've heard those names before... they sound so foreign but familiar...

My entire body feels like it's burning up, like it's a million degrees. My left arm is searing with pain and my ribs feel like someone's repeatedly stabbing me, over and over. The part that hurts the most though, is my head. It feels like it's being ripped opened and bashed against a concrete wall, nonstop. I just want all of this pain to stop. All of these odd voices to stop, and to wake up from this nightmare. Just to be alive and awake, not in darkness and dying. I... I just want-
"Kara!"

What?! W-who was that?

"Kara wake up...they need you Kara..." Who's Kara?? "Kara...she needs you.."

Wha?? Am...am I Kara..? And who needs me..?

"... Alex needs you.. Winn, J'onn, James, and Brainy needs you...she needs you...LENA.."

ALEX'S POV
I sprinted down the hall, pushing past doctors and other DEO agents, with Lena not far behind. When I got to the medbay, I saw a huge group of doctors, surrounding the doorway, examining Kara and writing things on a clipboard.

Lena tapped me on the shoulder and looked at me with hopeful eyes. "Is... is she...awake..?" I could clearly tell Lena was nervous and fidgeting with her hands.

I glanced back at the door and bit the inside of my cheek. I knew she was awake, since J'onn read Kara's mind and discovered she was up, but that wasn't what I was mainly worried about. Kara had a very severe concussion and the fact that she isn't dead right now is a miracle, but Brainy had calculated that the chances of her having memory loss and they were pretty high. I knew this might happen and as much as it kills me inside, it would hurt Lena then she'd go back into her protective and isolated shell.

"I...Yeah, she's awake but-"

"Can I see her?" Lena interrupted and seeming to have her hopes up a little too high.

"Well... I.. I don't know... Her memory is possibly gone and she may have no idea who either of us are..." I trailed off as my voice croaked and I tried to hold the tears back. I needed to be strong....for Kara's sake.

"I...she may have memory and if, so then... no let's just check on her first, before jumping to conclusions and fearing the worst happened. We know Kara is stronger then this and can beat almost anything."

I noticed Lena was crying and pulled her into a tight hug, stroking her hair and shushing her, trying to get her to calm down. She knew just as well as me this could happen, but Lena is going through just as much pain as I am right now. We separated and that's when I slowly walked towards Kara's room, hoping Kara was okay, had her powers back and her memories were still in tact.

I opened the door and peered into Kara's room, seeing her spectate my every move as I stepped into the room. Lena followed close behind me and I could tell she was seconds form breaking down, at the sight of Kara. Her face was badly bruised and had dry blood still on her lip. Her arm was in a splint and I could tell she was defiantly going to have scars on her body from the fight.

I walked a bit closer to Kara and looked into her blue eyes. I could tell something was off. That isn't my Kara.

I lifted my hand, waving a bit to her and cracked a small smile. "Hey Kara.. how are you feeling..?" My voice cracked as the words came out of my mouth and I tried, so, so hard to hold back the rush of tears.

"Oh, I...I feel good I guess." There was zero emotion in her face. I smiled again, looking down at the ground and fidgeting with the strings of my sweatshirt.

"Ka..Kara.. hi.. it's me Lena.. do.. do you remember me..?" I shot my head up immediately and turned in Lena's direction. No, no, no, no! Why is Lena doing this to herself!? To Kara? She isn't the same person anymore! As much as I want things to be normal again, I know she heals from this, Kara wont be the same, even with the low chances of her memory to come back.

I glanced over at Kara and saw her confused and saddened face as Lena asked her that. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it. Again opened it then closed it. She hesitated before finally answering. "I-sorry.. I don't know who either of you are... I don't even know what happened to get me here."

I put a hand in Lena's shoulder as tears were flowing down her face. She didn't respond, all she did was nod then rush out of the room. I wanted to go and chase after her and comfort Lena, but I needed to give her the space she needed.

I didn't even notice it until now, that I was crying too. Quickly I wiped my tears and sat down at the chair next to Kara and reached out to grab her hand. She winced as I placed my hand on hers but didn't move or say anything.

We just sat there in complete silence until Kara spoke up. "I need you to tell me who that was and what happened." I looked at Kara, slightly startled so I just nodded my head as more tears steamed down my cheeks. If I was going to tell her, I needed to start at the beginning.
