Kara didn't remember anything, but the struggling look in Lena's eyes as she begged her to be alive. She remembered her saying something and then the unmistakable torture of kryptonite entering her blood stream. She wanted to remember what had happened in those moments in between, she wanted to know that Lena was fine. That she hadn't really been struggling to hold on to her life line like her eyes had screamed. The way the looked identical to the way all the others had as she held them as they drew their last breath. When she woke to what felt like hundreds of cords and machines attached to her body she remembered nothing of getting there.

Had she blacked out? Had the kryptonite been strong enough to do that?

Turning over she felt the last of the kryptonian effects, the sudden pain causing every muscle in its wake to tense in agony. She hated it, she hated being so weak to such a stupid substance. She was supposed to be Supergirl! She didn't care about the pain or kryptonite, she needed to get out of this stupid rock of a mattress bed and find Lena. Ripping the ivs and plugs from her arm she forced her legs to carry her from the bed and through the lab doors. Entering the main room of the immense DEO laboratory had been a lot harder then she had first figured, but she remembered her whereabouts in the basement level of the building. I guess they wanted to keep her unconscious self a secret confined to the labs. She thought laughing out at the thought of the DEO trying to keep her a secret.

"Oh my!" Interrupted a shrieking voice from the short petite blonde sitting at a station in the front of the lab, her eyes widening in panic.

"Uh…" Kara reached up running her fingers loosely through her blonde locks in nervousness, how long had she been out? And when did they found a new intern? "Hi, can you tell me where Lena Luthor is?"

The question sent the new girl into a frenzy as her mouth gaped open and close over and over reminder her of a goldfish in water, but of course no words ever escaped. She had forgotten how easy it was to throw the newbies into shock. As an over excited Mon-El had put it when they came across the first starstruck intern, she is The Supergirl. If only they knew how much she really messed up and was just a big clutz. She was just like the rest of them.

"Okay, do you happen to know how to page Alex?" She pressed on and then added "Danvers." after the girl stared on in bewilderment.

"Ya know, the small bossy girl with shorter burgundy hair? Tends to threaten to take off people's arms if they touch her or her stuff?" The girl's blue eyes just widened even more at her words. "God, we are getting nowhere." She huffed out in annoyance as she quickly thanked the girl and left out the automatic doors to take the stairs to the main floor. You'd think the DEO's interns would be smart enough to at least figure out that Kara would be a regular at the DEO. She was an alien for kryptonian's sake.

"Kara!" Yelled a voice she had never been so thankful to hear in her life. Spinning on her heels she couldn't help, but smile at the angred look plastered across her sister's face as she was storming her way across the busy DEO floor. By the time she had reached Kara's side she was absolutely fuming, but Kara didn't care. Reaching forward towards her sister's armor covered shoulders she yanked her forward into her arms.

3...2...1 she counted softly in her head.

"What are you doing?!" Alex practically screamed into her ear, not caring for their embrace. Bingo!

"What can't I be thankful to see my sister? Someone actually competent enough to tell me where Lena is."

"You're not supposed to be out of bed!" She shouted blowing her comment off. "You literally were shot not once, not twice, but three times with kryptonite charged bullets!"

"And I'm fine." She said with a grin.

"Fine my ass!" Alex followed with a quick and painful jab to her upper bicep shooting the kryptonite remain through it and into her shoulder. Her pain not going unnoticed. "Exactly my point, Kara." She said pointedly her eyes staring daggers into Kara's.

"But Lena…" Was all she could muttered as she tried to focus through the burning Kryptonite that lingered in her veins. If she had been paying attention she may have noticed the way Alex's brown eyes softened and how all the frustration disappeared from her face. Or the way her whole body went slack knowing that Kara would do anything to check on Lena, even if it caused her immense pain.

"I know." Was all Kara heard though. "Come on i'll take you to her."

They walked quietly back down the stairs leading back to the labs, apparently Lena was being kept just a few doors down from where Kara had woken. They didn't speak, but Kara knew Alex had something to say. She could feel it in the thickness in the air, but she just remained silent. And before she knew it they had stopped just outside a set of lab doors. She had never been in this specific one, but she knew they all looked the same on the inside. Yet for some reason her heart picked up pace at their sight.

"Hey, I'll just be upstairs if you need me." Alex said lightly with a gentle touch to her shoulder, she was afraid to cause Kara anymore pain.

"Thank you." Was all she could mutter as she watched Alex retreat back the way they had come. She turned back to the door, but felt her heart race out fast as she took in the electronic panel she needed to push to open it.

What if Lena wasn't okay? Or what if she wanted nothing to do with Kara after that night? What if she hated her?

Before she could think to run the other way the door chimed out and began to open.

"Figured I give you a hand." Rang out Alex's voice over the intercom and she found herself both relieved and even more terrified as the doors finished opening.

She had been right about the lab room being identical to the rest. Minus the added bed to the corner, the lab table was against the whole left wall with a computer station perpendicular on the wall which is where Lena sat. Her hair was put up in the perfect form of a bun as her head barely budged from its engrossed state in her notes. She always loved Lena's science side. It was incredible at how dedicated the woman was.

"I told Alex that I want nothing to do with that grease trap called a burger." She spoke out her voice slightly lower, but still demanding all the same.

"I.. uh…" She blabbered trying to think of what to say as her eyes dropped in embarrassment to her hands as if they'd hold the words she was searching for.

"Oh Kara…" Came out in a rush seconds before heels sprinted her way sending Lena crashing into her as she pulled her in as close as their bodies could possibly get. The surprise contact caused everything in her to tense, but she immediately relaxed at the warmth of Lena's embrace. The way her arms held Kara's own body in as hard as Lena could muster as if she'd disappear made it impossible to do anything, but the same. Lena's face perfectly found the space between her neck and cheek allowing her to breath in Lena's smell as Lena's tears dampened her neck. The way it all felt like home and happiness brought the sting of tears to her own eyes.

"Lena…" She whispered out pulling her impossibly closer as she pressed her own face closer into Lena's. She never wanted to let go, she didn't want this moment to end. She wouldn't risk losing her again and if she held on longer, forever no one would ever be able to take her away from her. No one could get to Lena, no one could ever hurt her again.

"I thought I had lost you." Lena breathed out against her neck, the warmth of her breath causing a fire to blossom deep within her stomach.

"No, no, never." she babbled out pulling herself away to hold Lena at arms length.

She looked way worse than Kara had remembered. Her right cheek had been split open and was now held together with three very small black stitches that matched the dark purpling beneath them that paired with the deep bags hanging beneath her soft green eyes. Ones that were starting to overflow with tears. She couldn't stop from bringing her right hand up to gently wipe them away, she couldn't bear to watch Lena hurt so much.

"I'd never leave you." She choked out over her own tears making herself cry harder as she continued to smooth away Lena's tears. She wasn't ready to stop, she knew she should ignore the growing warmth she knew all too well in her stomach. That she should let Lena go and take a few steps back. She should put some distance between herself and Lena, but she couldn't. She couldn't stop herself from enjoying the way Lena's smooth damp skin felt underneath her fingertips or the way Lena stared at her in pure relief and a tint of something else. She knew this wasn't what friends did, but she didn't care. Lena was alive and well. Lena was here right in front of her and beneath her own fingertips and she wasn't ever going to let that go. Following the shape of Lena's perfect jawline she reached with both hands to find the soft, delicate skin at the back of her neck. Glancing into the intense green eyes once more she leaned forward and did what she had wanted to do ever since that first night in Lena's office. She felt the breath hitch in Lena with a small gasp as she closed the distance between them and placed her own lips softly against Lena's. The warmth immediately exploding within them as Lena's hands found Kara's hips pulling her in closer. The fire erupted from within her stomach and flowed deeper into their bodies as she pressed forward not getting enough, the feeling dragging her in more and more. She couldn't get close enough, she wanted to feel every living part of Lena against her.

"They are in this room." Sounded out, shooting them apart as Lena's current test tube collection crashed to the floor.

"Fuck." Lena muttered as she quickly turned around to take in the spill as the doors sprung open.
