The Death of Supergirl

The Aftermath

The police came and took everyone's statements. Alex showed up as well to check on her team and to make sure the DEO was involved in the case from the beginning. She ran up to Sam and Ruby and wrapped them in a hug. They spoke for a few moments and then Sam headed towards Lena.

"Alex I'm sorry I put them in danger, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean too."

"Shut up Lena." Was all Alex said before she wrapped Lena in a hug. Lena accepted and both women wept together, for Kara and for themselves. They finally pulled apart, and Alex looked at the woman Kara had so much faith in, "We need to talk, tonight at Kara's. Okay?"

All Lena could do was nod, she was so freaked out, she was afraid she would shatter if she spoke. Finally she took a deep breath, "Are my guys okay?"

"They are all fine Lena. They caught the mole, he didn't realize one of the guys overheard his call. No injuries except for a few bruises.", Alex answered, then she smiled, "Your guys?"

"They took care of me Alex.", she started to cry again.

"We take care of our own Lena." Alex said as she pulled her back into another hug. "Thank you for protecting Ruby."

They pulled apart for a second time, "Alright guys, time to get the girls out of here, take them to Kara's apartment, and set up a full perimeter. No one goes in or out without my permission or Assistant Director Lane's."

"Yes ma'am"

"Eric and Wally, ya'll are going to get checked out, then off for the day."

"No ma'am."

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry Director, but until Ms. Luthor is at the apartment, we are still on duty, we will report to HQ after we get her there."

"Okay, guys, take care of them."

"Yes ma'am"

Then like a proud mama, she looked at them, "Are you both okay?", she whispered.

"Yes ma'am, a little sore."

"Okay, but make sure you both get checked out."

Alex then kissed Sam goodbye and hugged Ruby. Jess and Lena were sitting in the car waiting. Jess noticed Lena staring at the moment. "Lena, are you okay? I mean really okay?"

"No Jess, I don't think I am, who would have been the first person to come and check on both of us when this happened?"

"Kara, I was thinking the same thing, she loved you Lena."

"Everyone keeps saying that."

"Because it's true."

Sam and Ruby got in the car with them. Sam pulled Lena into a backbreaking hug, crying into her shoulder. Lena held her tightly, realizing that Sam was crying, not for herself, but for Ruby. "She's okay Sam, she's going to be okay."

"I know, but you didn't hesitate, you wanted to protect her when I couldn't get to her."

"You're my family Sam, you all are, I just forgot that in my anger."

"Thank you Lena."

"You are welcome."

Ruby then slid into Lena's hip and rested her head on her shoulder. "Thank you Ms. Luthor."

Lena slid her arm around Ruby and let the girl just relax.

15 minutes later they were at Kara's apartment. They decided that everyone deserved a glass of wine and Ruby had a soda. Then they sat on the couch and just tried to relax until Alex and the rest of Kara's family showed up.
