The Betrayal

Kara Danvers was Supergirl, that was the undeniable truth she had just discovered, better yet, the woman she loved had told her. Kara, her Kara, the shining light of her life was the hateful person she despised, how could they be both the same person, yet they were. What was she supposed to do now?

"Lena, I have to tell you something important. I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time now. I'm sorry it took so long, but I was so afraid to lose you, I'm very afraid. Please don't push me away, I won't be able to handle it. "

"Kara , you can just tell me, I'm sure we can work through it together darling."

"Ok. Sit down on the couch Lena. So, since the day we met right here in this office you've gotten to know me and I, you. We've shared our secrets, our hopes, our lives basically. But still I have been keeping something for myself. A part of me that is very important, my other half, the one that fulfills my parents wishes. I am Supergirl , Lena. I protect earth from its most mortal enemies. My name is Kara Zor-El, and I am the last daughter of Krypton."

"I know, and I am very sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I was afraid I was going to lose you. I trust you with all my heart Lena, I wanted to tell you sooner, I was going to , but every time something got in the way, or someone. Please say something."

"Get out, get out of here now Kara. And don't come back ever again."

So Kara had gotten out and they hadn't seen each other in a week. Kara had left several messages, tried to call Lena a dozen times, but she wasn't ready yet, maybe she would never be.

Lena tried working herself to sleep everyday for a week, however she could only cry. Anything she'd look would remind her of Kara, her apartment was a living shrine of their friendship, photos of them hugging were on every surface she would look. Gifts Kara had given her were scattered everywhere.

Alex tried to call her too, but she didn't want to talk to anyone specially if they were Kara's friends and at this point all of Lena's friends were Kara's. She was the one to open Lena's life to friendships and game nights, to laughter, to a family she'd chosen, not the one she was born with but wasn't really part of.

Lena was at the lowest point of her life, she couldn't count on anybody, couldn't trust anyone. She had been used to it before, but then Kara changed all of that, she'd shown her all that Lena could be when she had someone to lean on. Lena'd gotten used to it, but the same Kara also took it all away from her now. How could that snowflake of a girl be Supergirl, the one who doubted her, who accused her of hiding kryptonite from her. How could kara have doubted her like that, worse she'd asked James to check if Lena was telling the truth, such a betrayal she'd never think Kara would have done to her. But she had. For now it was best to leave it be and try to move on.

Four months had passed since Kara told Lena the truth, and hadn't seen Lena since. She tried to reach her, but eventually Kara realized she should wait for Lena to get in touch on her own time. She shouldn't force it on her. It was Kara's own fault Lena now was out of her life, if she'd told her sooner this wouldn't be happening. She would have the woman of her dreams with her now; she could've told her the other truth she'd been waiting to share after the reveal, the one that her heart yearned for. She could tell the green eyed woman that she'd been in love with her for three years. But now, all she could hope for was that Lena would give her a chance to talk one more time.

This morning had been extremely busy for Kara and for Supergirl. She'd fought four aliens in four hours, one at each corner of the city, by noon she was exhausted, but she still had her CatCo story to write, although she'd been procrastinating at this particular one. She'd been tasked to interview Lena Luthor about the new product L-Corp was going to be releasing at tonight's event.

She'd tried to get a interview with Lena, but Jess, her assistant, had been avoiding her calls too. So the only alternative Kara had was to show up at L-Corp unannounced.

Kara showed up at L-Corp at 1 pm, when she knew Lena would in her office working, but she couldn't get passed the lobby. So Lena had her banned from the building, that was not good. She would have to tell Snapper to give the article to someone else instead.

"Miss Luthor?" - Jess called from the door.

"Yes, Jess. Come on in". – Lena motioned to Jess to enter her office.

"Miss Danvers tried to enter the building half hour ago, and as you requested she was denied entry on the lobby. I just came to inform you." – Jess said as she entered the office.

"Is this the first time she tried or has it been others?" – Lena interjected.

"Well, it's the first time she tried coming here, but she has called a lot to try to get in touch with you, I would say more than thirty times. I just didn't tell you because you said you didn't want to hear from her again."

"It's okay Jess, I just wanted to know. So more than thirty, huh? Wow!" – Lena said surprised by the number of times Kara tried. – "You can leave now Jess, thank you." - Jess left Lena to her thoughts.

So Kara didn't quit so easy. This got Lena wondering if she should give the reporter a chance. Maybe she should let her explain herself. She was missing Kara so much. Maybe her anger had diminished a little.

Kara had called Snapper to tell him she wasn't able to write the article. He was very disappointed in her, but there was nothing she could do this time, and Rao knows she tried a lot of ways to get in contact with Lena.

She decided she needed a drink to relax a bit. It wasn't her usual go to but this was a low point for her. So Kara went to the alien bar and ordered an Aldebaran rum glass.

She was about to drink her first sip when a chair came at her direction. Kara stopped the chair and zapped at the restroom to change to her Supergirl suit.

Once she came out, she assessed the situation. There were nine huge aliens waiting for her at the bar, all in a semi circle around her. They looked more like reptilians than normal people, and they all had a green glow to them.

It only took Kara two seconds to realize that somehow they had kryptonite. Maybe that glow they shared was the green substance that was the only thing that could harm her. But how was it part of them, Kara didn't know, and she wouldn't be able to find that out now. She would have to flee, there was no way she would be able to fight them all with kryptonite.

They were alone at the bar at this point, everyone else had fled.

Kara was already feeling weaker; she got to her knees, as the first one attacked her. She managed to deflect with her laser eyes. Soon three were on top of her. She battled them all, and all at once. The nine reptilians came for her with their tongues out . First one, then another, then a third, after ten minutes all of them had bitten her, and injected the green mist that exhaled from their bodies.

Kara was down, her body burning with kryptonite all over. She was going unconscious any minute now. All she could think of was to call Alex on her coms.

"Alex, help… Alien bar…." Kara trailed of, her voice weak, her body failing her.

"Supergirl? Are you there? What happened?" – Alex said, surprised by the tone her sister's voice had.

"All units, Supergirl needs back up at the Alien bar, I repeat all units must go to the Alien bar now!"

Lena had been working on her prototype all afternoon preparing to unveil it tonight at the event when an urgent message from Alex appeared on her cell phone.

Alex: Lena, please pick up your phone, this is urgent. Get back to me as soon as you can, please. Alex Danvers.

There were 5 missed calls from Alex, and 5 from the DEO. Lena got worried, maybe something had happened to Kara. So she decided to just go there instead.

At the DEO, Lena watched as the chaos took over, there were agents running everywhere, it seemed like the end of the world was starting, little did she know her world was about to come crashing down.

"Alex! I'm here. What is going on? What happened that everyone is running like crazy people." – Lena asked with a worried look on her face. But as soon as she saw Alex's her jaw almost hit the floor. She was crying, her face was red, dread spread all through her body as she waited for an answer.

"Lena, come here." – Alex said as she sniffed and tried to clean her face. – "It's Kara, she got hurt really bad on a fight. We don't know if she's going to make it. I think you, you…"- she couldn't continue talking, so she just took Lena to Kara.

"Just take me to her Alex. I wanna see her." – Lena said as she followed Alex to the med bay. Her eyes werw already starting to water without control. She was trying to hold control, but as soon as she saw Kara there, looking like a Christmas tree, glowing green and all broken up. Her face was unrecognizable, she had a cervical collar, and her body had diminished somehow.

"Noooo!" – Lena broke down right there. She couldn't stand anymore, her knees hit the floor. She began crying copiously. Alex reached for her, but she was barely holding on too.

"We are working on it already Lena, but she was injected with too much kryptonite, somehow it attached itself to her DNA, and we don't know if we'll be able to detach it. Let's pray she pulls through."
