When Alex and Barry arrived back in the sub-basement, Kara’s status hadn’t improved much. She was still unconscious and still strapped down to the gurney so if she were to wake up, she wouldn’t hurt herself. But Barry could see several lasers traversing her body. The beams didn’t seem to be causing her any pain nor did they leave any lasting marks on her skin.
“Alex, what exactly are those lasers doing to Kara?”
“Destroying the sand particles in her bloodstream. This is only the first step, Barry. The particles in her lungs and stomach are going to require a different form of expulsion from her system.”
“How do you propose for that to happen?”
“Well for her stomach, we’re going to have to induce vomiting.”
“I hope that’s going to work.”
“Tests show a 95% success rate.”
“Okay, what about her lungs?”
“That’s trickier. The way I see it, we have two options. The first is that I intubate a suction tube down her trachea and into the lungs and hopefully expel the particles via aspiration.”
“And the second option?”
“Would be if you were to run fast enough in a continuous circle to create a vacuum that deprives the room of oxygen. Since Kara is unconscious the process would have little effect on her except for potential severe coughing.”
“No…no way. If I do that, I could kill Kara. I’m not willing to risk her life that way…”
“You’ve done this before?”
“Yes. I was undercover once and a fight broke out between Captain Cold and Heat Wave. These guys are like brothers but they had a falling out. Captain Cold has a no killing code, and Heat Wave killed a guard that got in the way of their robbery. The only way I could stop the fight was to form a tornado that sucked all the oxygen out of the room, extinguishing the fire. Heat Wave nearly suffocated. That’s why I can’t…”
“You may have to Barry. Would you rather she remains as she is and never know it until one day she really does snap and kill you? Or would you rather do everything you can to save her? I think I already know the answer to that one. But you’re going to have to make the choice. I can’t make it for you.”
While Barry was weighing his options, and knowing how even while holding back, suffocating both Snart and Rory could have killed them, Kara was beginning to wake up. At first she was disoriented while trying to move. She wasn’t sure how long she had been out, but the feeling of being restrained was confusing before she realized she was looking up at a red light when her eyes fluttered open and cleared.
Panic started to set in for Kara she realized just where she was and looked down at her wrists. The red light she instantly knew was a simulated red sun and she didn’t have her powers. Now terrified; she screamed out in a state of severe anger and fear.
“ALEX! YOU PROMISED ME! YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULDN’T DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!”
Kara started to shake as an intercom activated off to her right. All she could do was turn her head to the side to locate the source of the sound, but she couldn’t see anything in the darkness of the room. As her panic levels increased, Kara began pulling her wrists up against the restraints as her sister began to speak.
