I watched Alex carry her to the med bay and sped after her. I went to walk inside when an agent held me back.
"Miss you can't go in there yet." He said politely. I nodded. Time seemed to slow down. I couldn't do anything but stand and watch as she started to crash. The agents were sprinting around the room, trying to save her.
After what felt like forever, her levels stabled and she was put in a coma for her own safety. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"She's a fighter." Alex said from behind.
"I know." I turned to face her.
"How. How did you know lena was in trouble?" I asked curiously.
"She called me. She said she remembered everything. She wanted me to tell you that she loves you."
"She remembers?" I asked in shock. Alex nodded and I turned back to Lena.
"How long?"
"We don't know. All we know is she is stable." I walked inside the room. Sitting by Lena's side.
"Krypto is worried about you. That dog is smart. We miss you. The apartment feels so empty without you. Take your time. We will al be here for you when you wake up." I gently kissed her forehead and walked out and down to meet J'onn, Alex and Winn.
"Anything on the Radar?" I asked.
"No. I would have thought you'd have wanted to stay with Lena?" Alex said.
"Like you said, we don't know how long it will be until she wakes up. If I stay here all the time, the waiting will slowly kill me. Besides, I know she is safe here. I know she is here." I smiled and Alex nodded.
"There is an armoured bank robbery down the road." J'onn mentioned.
I nodded and flew towards the crime.

Alex's POV
Kara had been fighting crime all day, checking in on lena after every victory. It was late, the day agents had all gone home while the night shift arrived. J'onn was with Winn doing something and I went to check in on Lena. I sat by her side and smiled.
"When you wake up, I hope you remember, Kara Loves you so much and this is killing her."
I sat there for a while before Kara walked in Behind me.
"Any news?" She asked.
"Not yet." I replied sadly. This went on for a few days. Kara checking in on Lena every free second she had. Nothing had changed. Her levels were the same and we had no indication of when she would wake up. If she ever did.

Kara's POV
It had been a week since Lena had been put in a coma. My heart ached and I really missed her. I sat holding her hand, gently rubbing it with my thumb. Her heartbeat was steady and rhythmic. When I was out fighting, I could focus on the sound and it gave me strength.
"Come back to me Lena."
I sat staring at her for a few more moments. Her eyes fluttered slowly. One blink and I would've missed it.
"Lena?" I asked softly.
"Kara." She replied in an almost inaudible whisper.
"I'm here. I'm here."
I called for Alex and soon her and some other agents were removing the wires from Lena. Once they left I sat by her side.
"Hey." She whispered.
"Hey."
There was a silence.
"How long has it been since lex kidnapped me?"
"five weeks." I replied sadly.
"Im sorry." She said suddenly.
"You have nothing to be sorry for Lee. None if this is your fault."
"Its my fault you're in pain though. I should have tried harder to remember."
"You remembering was the thing that put you in a coma." She smiled sadly.
"I remember bits and pieces. Not the full thing. Alex said it would take a few weeks, potentially a few months to get all my memories back."
"We will take it step by step."
"Can we start from the beginning? I have memories of us but it doesn't explain much to me. I want to be able to live them. I want to be with you again."
"Of course. We will take it slow. I think we both need time to get our heads around what's happened."
"Maybe in the meantime, you can tell me about things."
"Of course.
"We have a puppy?" She asked with a smile.
"Yeah, his name's Krypto. We rescued him after coming back from Disney."
"I only have one memory of that. When we were dancing in the rain."
"That was the happiest time of my life."
We spent the next few hours going through her memories. She remembered quite bit about me and her. She remembered about me being supergirl which made me breathe a sigh of relief, it made her worried though.
"All those times I watched you get hurt and I never realised it was you. That time with the plane, when, when."
"Morgan Edge?"
"Yeah. When he tried to kill me." Alex cleared her throat making her presence known to us.
"Lena as much as I know you've only just woken up. We need to ask some questions." She said from the doorway. Lena nodded and I went to stand. A hand gripping mine made me stop.
"Stay?" I nodded and sat back down, my hand still intertwined with hers. Alex came and sat on the opposite side of the bed.
"Do you remember about anything when you were taken?" Alex started.
"I remember, getting up from the sofa. Krypto trying to make me sit back down and Kara just giggling from where she was sat. I remember walking into the bathroom. There was something, someone there. I called kara in panic but they knocked me out with something. They were wearing a mask so I couldn't see who they were. When I woke up, I was in a kind of jail cell. all there was was an old mattress with a blanket in the corner and a faucet. I was so scared. A guy came in and dragged me out. I walked past rows of cells, each person with the same terrified expression. there had to be at least fifty people I walked past, maybe more. After that, we came to a big open main room and in the middle was a chair with restraints and tables with different thing on. I tried to get free from their grasp but it was no use. They were so much stronger. I remember screaming and crying. Trying so desperately to break free. They forced me onto the chair and secured my wrists and ankles. I was so scared. I remember seeing Morgan talking with Lex. I called after him, begging him to free me." Tears were rolling down her face and I held her hand tighter, wanting nothing more than to comfort her.
"They. They took my blood, tested my strength. Pushed me to find my breaking point. It was torture. I remember sitting in my cell. Not knowing how long I had been in there. There was a small whole in the wall, I could faintly see the outline of bunkers in the distance. It was like a dessert." I quickly turned to Alex.
"The DEO dessert facility?" I asked.
"Maybe. Do you remember how you got out?"
"A man, one of the guards who was tasked with bringing us food and drink. He helped me escape. Before we reached the exit, he knocked me out and I woke up in my office. A few hours later. Supergirl flew in."
"The man who saved you. Can you describe him?" She stared at the bed, trying to think of anything about this man. Her face dropped and she looked terrified.
"Jack. It was him. He was the one that helped me run. He came to my office the day after I got home. Pretty much forced me into a relationship with him."
"Thank you Lena. I know that was hard."
She nodded. I looked at her softly.
"Ill be right back. Alex, outside."
She nodded and we both left.
"We need to find them."
"We will. I'm sending a team to get jack, Completely undercover. We're hoping no tips will be given to lex. if he is at the old facility, we will get him." I nodded.
"Now go be with her. She needs you." I smiled and walked back in.

Time Skip

Alex's POV
We'd arrested jack and he was now In DEO custody. I went to walk into lena room but stopped dead in the doorway, a small smile appearing on my face. Kara was laid in Lena's bed, Lena with her head rested on Karas chest and they'd both fallen asleep. I brought in a blanket and covered them both before closing the curtains and shutting the door quietly.
