Superwoman grimaced as she stepped over the rubble and debris the alleyway stank of rotten decay that made her nose twitch with revolution.
The flash of blue lights flashed into the back alley, breaking into the dark hollow patch with a blue glow.
This was a world away from her life as a chef, that safe, comfy world where the only fear was cutting a finger or burning a tuna steak. Sometimes when (Y/n) was faced with the horrors of the world her father had confronted for decades, she wished she could run away and go back to her old life.
Her boots squeaked as she slipped past the body with apprehension. She hadn't expected to find such a scene when she had arrived.
Forensic scientists had already started their work in preserving the scene and collecting evidence.
(Y/n) felt her stomach churn the smell of death was everywhere she feared it would cling to her. She wanted to run home and cleanse her soul with a sweet smile from Alex and watch Yogi and Bear play together.
Right now, she needed Alex; she felt like such an immature child she was supposed to be a hero like Kara, not a shaking mess crying for her wife.
Superwoman took a deep breath to steady herself as she turned towards the body, it was covered now, but a hand stuck out from under the cover.
The super let her eyes drift to the body, hating she could see beneath it, clenching her hands together tightly to control her nerves so she couldn't freak out. She hoped she wouldn't freak out.
Memories of the phantom zone flooded her mind as she tried to stop herself from staring at the discarded human bring on the ground.
"Are you okay?" A hand landed on her shoulder as Kara's concerned voice appeared as though from nowhere.
(Y/n) swallowed the bile that burned her throat. "Yeah, it's just a bit triggering for me."
Kara's face grew grim with concern, pulling her cousin closer to her with an arm wrapped around her. Feeling protective of her younger cousin. "You should go home, you don't need to stay here. I will finish up here."
"Are you sure, won't they say something if I leave?" (Y/n) pointed to the police who were dotted around the area.
"We'll tell them you had to leave to sort out another emergency." Kara smiled, trying to reassure her cousin, (Y/n) never acted like this.
(Y/n) hesitated for a moment before giving Kara a relieved smile and rushing for the entrance of the alleyway.
Once out in the street (Y/n) took a deep breath beginning to feel the heaviness leave her slowly. She was so invested in doing as Doctor Dick had told her to do, breathing deeply and counting before letting the breath out again she didn't notice the woman heading her way until she collided with her.
"Are you okay?" (Y/n) asked scanning the woman to make sure she was unharmed.
The woman pushed her dark hair over half her face ignoring (Y/n) rushed past without saying a word.
"What the hell was that about?" (Y/n) muttered under her breath before lifting off into the sky.
It was in the air she realized that Alex wasn't home she was working late at the DEO she didn't want to face the place tonight, but the need to see Alex was too high and she didn't want to wait until Alex got home (Y/n) knew that she would be left alone to overthink and that was where her problem would get worse.
So (Y/n) headed towards the DEO and soon enough she was inside walking down the corridor to Alex's office, trying not to hurry too much she was supposed to be a super not a dainty little woman wanting her wife to save her from the big bad boogie man.
