This is a request I got on Tumblr so I'm posting it here too!! (my tumblr is @ supergirl-imaginess for those of you who care lmao)
Request: A oneshot where bby!danvers casually admits during truth or dare at game night that she's terrified of one of her sisters dying on the job. The next day Kara and Alex decide to try and get their sister to talk about it and she ends up breaking down in Kara's arms and they comfort her as best they can. You can decide how to end
"(Y/n) it's your turn!" Alex grinned and poked your side.
"Truth or dare?" Winn asked from in front of you in the circle, mischievously.
You thought for a second before smiling and answering, "Truth!"
"Oooh, I've got a good one for you," Winn smiles. "Okay, Little Danvers, what's your biggest fear?"
Your smile immediately fell and your gaze fell down to Lena's hand, who had been absentmindedly playing with your fingers. You cleared your throat a bit when you realized the room had gone silent and finally spoke up, "I'm afraid Kara and Alex are going to die at work every day."
Kara looked at Alex with a worried glance and Alex put her arm around you right before you excused yourself and left to grab a bottle of water from the kitchen as an excuse to get away.
The game continued and eventually picked up the same energy as it had before, but Kara and Alex (along with everyone else) could tell that you weren't yourself and the question Winn had asked you earlier was clearly the reason, not that it was his fault.
At the end of game night when people were about to start trickling out, you were the first to leave, and you left without saying goodbye to anyone, you just didn't feel like talking.
After reaching your apartment, you changed and threw yourself into bed while memories of Kara and Alex having near death experiences swirled around in your mind.

Around the time that you finished cleaning up your breakfast, you heard a knock at your door. You sighed and looked through the peep hole. When you saw it was your sisters, you plastered a smile on your face and opened the door, "Hey guys!"
Alex raised a brow and Kara looked at Alex with a weird look, like she felt bad for a poor puppy, which was annoying because you knew that in this situation, you were the 'puppy'.
You stepped aside and let them inside, your smile fell when they passed you, but you quickly picked it up before turning around once you locked the door.
"No hug? What's up with you guys?" You asked, knowing that you'd overdone it.
"Please stop pretending to be happy, (y/n), we know you way too well for you to try this with us," Alex said, before pulling you into a hug, even if what you had said was fake.
"Bub, we're worried about you," Kara spoke softly once you were out of Alex's arms, taking your hand into her own.
The three of you migrated to the floor and your sisters sat in front you. Your fake smile had faded significantly and Alex took your other hand before squeezing it softly, "Can you tell us what's going on, please?"
"About what?" You played with the carpet, knowing you were only stalling, and Kara and Alex knew it too.
"With what Winn asked you last night, hun, you left early, too, without saying goodbye to anyone," Alex remained patient, knowing you were upset and not wanting to push you.
"You didn't even say bye to us," Kara added, which honestly only made you feel guilty.
"I'm sorry," You mumbled and now moved from playing with the carpet to playing with your fingernails.
Kara and Alex exchanged a look of pity and Kara tried again, "You don't need to apologize, (y/n/n), we just want to talk about this so we can make you feel better."
The more they talked the more they made you want to cry. You were scared, terrified, that they would die one day and you would know after everyone. What would you do? Your entire life your sisters made you feel loved and safe and not alone and if they were gone one day you would lose yourself with them.
"You can't make me feel better," You muttered, still refusing to let your eyes meet there's, especially as they started to water.
Alex pursed her lips before talking, "We'd like to try, maybe if you tell us you'll feel like a little bit of weight is lifted off of you."
"I'm afraid," You admitted, finally looking up to meet the eyes of your sisters. "You guys always leave and put yourself in danger and I know it's because you guys need to and its your job. I get it, but every time you guys walk out this door during a sister night or - or leave game night early or you're at work even, I-I just remember all the times you guys have almost died and when I close my eyes I see my big sisters and I just can't get it out of my head that you guys could literally die every day," by the time you'd said all of this there were tears streaming down from your eyes. "Please don't leave me alone, I need you and I know it's selfish but -"
"Hey, no," Kara cut in, knowing that you were hurting and pulled you into her lap. You rested your head on Kara's shoulder while your face was towards Alex. "We will never ever leave you alone," Kara kissed the top of your hair.
"And you're not being selfish at all. Your feelings are so valid and we completely understand that you're scared that we're going to get really hurt and sometimes we will, but we promise you that we will always come back and stand right by your side. Always," Alex offered you a small smile as she rubbed your back gently when you started to cry again, clinging to Kara with one arm and pulling Alex closer with the other.
In a moment, you were engulfed in a hug between your two sisters who were whispering into your ear things like, "We're right here." "We're not leaving." "You're okay." "We're okay," Everything you could've needed to hear and more.
When you eventually ran out of tears, you lifted your head and smiled softly at your big sisters gratefully, "Can we move sister night to tonight, please?"
"Of course, bub. We can just take a day off of and hang out with you, would that be better?" Kara asked, still rubbing your back.
"I would love that, guys. Thank you," You smiled.
