Green Lantern: Daughter Of Supergirl

Chapter Five

Lena stomps her way through the DEO, noone daring to stop her, knowing who she is, and why she was there. Each agent avoiding any eye contact, in fear of getting yelled at. Her eyes were set on the DEO medbay, just up the stairs. "Where is she!" She screams, as she sees the Director come into sight.

"Hey Lena, she is getting checked out by the doctors. It's okay" Alex stammers out.

"Like hell it's okay." The raven haired woman screams. "My daughter passed out because of some weakness that we didn't know she had. And my wife, well we don't know where my wife is."

"We have people looking for Kara, and doctors looking at Alura. Last I heard she was going to be fine. Don't worry."

"Don't worry? Alex, what if Sam went missing and Ruby was severely injured. What would you do?"

"I..... I'd fight to look for Sam, but not leave Ruby's side." Alex looks down in defeat.

"Exactly. So. go look for my wife, and I'll take care of my daughter. I want hourly updates." Lena scoffs, her business face on.

"Your wife is my sister. Your daughter is my niece. Think a damn minute before you think that I'm not sad about this. I am. But I don't have the luxury to be sad. I have a damn agency to run." She retorts angrly.

"You know that isn't what I mean Alex." Lena sighs, pressing her fingers to her temples. "I just. I can't live without them. Either of them." She whispers, so only Alex can hear.

"And I am going to try my damn best to be sure that it doesn't happen." She sees her sister inlaw, tears forming into her eyes. "Go to Alura. I will take care of Kara. Stay with her." Lena nods, and goes into the medbay.

Alura lays there, tubes going through her body, throat, nose, arm, and more. Scratches all over and blood knotted in her hair, crusted to the point where she doesn't know if it will come out. "Oh my god." Lena cries, running to her daughter's side. "I got you is (baby girl). I won't leave your side. I love you so much." She cries into the hero's shoulder.

Days turn into weeks, and Lena starts to lose track of time. Without going to L-Corp, or really leaving Alura's side for anything but to go to the restroom, time starts to blur together. She does the same thing every day. Sit by the bed, either doing work from her laptop, reading, watching tv, or talking to Alura. Every day around the same time, Alex barges in with food and drinks. Sleeping either on the chair, or a small, uncomfortable cot provided by the DEO, by the bed.

"Oh, this is the one where Rachel gets that cat." Lena comments, eating a kale salad Alex brought -after learning not to protest- and using one hand to hold her daughter's. She feels a small, barely noticeable squeeze. "Wh... Alura? Did, did you just squeeze my hand?" After a moment, causing Lena to think he imagined it, there is another, this time a little bit stronger. "Alex! Alex! It's Alura! She squeezed my hand!" She yells through the DEO, not moving from her spot.

"What?" Alex asks, a pile of doctors coming in after her, all starting to crowd around the bed. "Lena, calm down." She says, grabbing her sister inlaw's shoulders, after the only response is stammering. "What happened?"

"I was sitting here, just eating and watching television with one hand in hers. When I commented on something, and she squeezed. Originally I thought it was my mind playing tricks, that was until it happened again. Much stronger."

"Director, her eyes are open." A doctor says. Lena pushes through to see the eyes of her terrified daughter.

"Hey sweetie. It's me, it's Mama. I'm right here." Alura's eyes look at her mother, tears starting to form. She struggles against the tube, but it just chokes her more than it is already. "Hey, don't struggle. Everything is going to be okay." She brushes the blonde hair.
