Authors Note: I mean really I just wanna say sorry this took me so long. Things have been super crazy lately and I started a new job then got a promotion at that job and so I'm just settling into my new role there and just slowly working my way back into writing things. This chapter isn't my best but ya know, it is what it is.

Kara couldn't move fast enough. She found herself terrified to use her powers to set Winn free, to untie his hands from the chair. She moved with caution, careful not to bump him to cause him more pain. The knife was still in his abdomen, his cheek bleeding down his face as his shirt was turning redder by the second. "Winn." Kara spoke, her tone breaking as she finished untying his hands and letting him fall into her arms. "I'm okay." He spoke, his tone quiet. She had to pause, looking between Winn's mother and Winn. "I have to get him to the hospital, but I'll be back." She reassured the older woman before taking off.

Kara knew that she was fast, but she didn't realize how quickly she could fly until she landed at the hospital only seconds later. "I need help." She cried as she waited for the staff to notice the bleeding man in his arms, for them to bring a gurney over and take him from her. "Please save him." This was out of her hands, something her powers couldn't fix. She couldn't put the blood back in his body, she couldn't sew up his wounds. She had to hope that these humans could save him, because she couldn't. They only nodded as they rushed him away, speaking quickly as they shouted out medical terms.

It felt like forever. Kara had managed to free Winn's mother before going back to the apartment and changing out of her Supergirl suit. And now she was just another girl in the waiting room, sitting with Alex next to her as they both sat and waited. Time seemed to move slower for her, the second hands taking hours to move as they waited to hear more about Winn. She had texted Hannah and Lucas, letting them know that Winn was hurt and that she would keep them updated.

Of course the news was already out. People talking about how Supergirl had brought Owen into the hospital. Luckily no one knew the truth, of what had really happened. Instead it was just said that he was brought in and they were waiting for an update. Kara wished that she could force them all to change their attention to something else, that they wouldn't keep posting updates on something they didn't understand.

It was hours later that they finally called out his name, Kara grateful that Winn still had her listed as his emergency contact. Slowly she pushed herself out of her chair, and moved to meet the doctor. "How is he?" She asked, her hands sweating as she waited for a response. "He's going to be okay." The rest of her words fell on deaf ears, because her best friend was going to be okay. "You can see him, but he's on a lot of painkillers and needs to rest."

She didn't care, she needed to see her best friend. Following the doctor, Kara entered the room quietly. Winn was asleep, his figure looking smaller on the hospital bed then it normally did. His cheek had a few small bandages on it, the blood washed off his face to only show the shallow cut. He was pale, paler than normal. The IV in his hand leading up to the machines surrounding him. But the steady beat of the heart monitor was all she cared about. He was alive.

The lights were bright, that was the first thing Winn took note of. The next was the noise in the room. Voices talking so fast that Winn couldn't keep up with them. Maybe it was from exhaustion or maybe it was the fact that he was still on pain meds. Either way he didn't care, Instead he kept his eyes closed as he tried to bring himself back to reality. His father had plans to kill him, and that was something he wasn't sure how to handle. But maybe he didn't have to right now.

Kara saved him, he was safe. He almost died, but he didn't. He was in the hospital, he knew that much. The beeping of the machines, the needle in his hand putting fluid into his body, and the feeling of the hospital gown. He was safe. Slowly he opened his eyes as he looked up around the room. "Hey." He whispered softly, smiling as he noticed his friends all turning to look towards him.

Lucas and Hannah were sitting on a couch on the far side of the room, Kara took the seat next to the bed. And his mother was back against the door, keeping to herself. "Winn." Kara whispered softly as she placed a hand on the bed. "How do you feel?" She asked and he couldn't help but smile a little.

"Like I got hit by a truck honestly." He chuckled softly as he looked around the room. "I'll be okay though. Back on stage in no time." He knew that it wasn't going to be that easy, that they weren't going to let him back on stage for a while. But he didn't really care, he needed to put his mind at ease.

"You almost died." Hannah interjected as she looked over at him. "I don't think you should be worried about being on the stage." Winn looked over at her, pursing his lips as he thought about his friends. He knew that Hannah was right, she usually was.

"Kara filled us in on everything, don't worry. Your secret is safe with us." Lucas jumped in, knowing that Winn was confused as to what was happening. "I trust you." He replied quietly as he looked over at his co-stars. They were there from the start of this journey and he was glad that he could at least be honest with them now. There was no hiding.

"The doctors said you should be able to go home in a couple of days, and then you're on bed rest until you fully heal." Kara took back over the conversation, telling him about what would happen once he got home and how he needed to take care of himself. "I told the few reporters downstairs that you were in a really bad car accident, while driving out of state to visit some college friends." It was just vauge enough that it would work. Kara was always on top of these things.

The knock on the door caused Winn to almost jump. He wasn't fully awake and wasn't sure who would be trying to come in aside from a nurse or doctor. His mother was the one to open the door, Winn's face turning from confusion to shock as he looked at the newest occupant of the room. "James?"
