Author's not: I'm assuming National City is New York City. Lena had to get out of there.

Chapter 1

"Kara is Supergirl". Lena repeats to herself.

She's been her best friend for almost three years but Kara managed to keep the biggest secret from her. She left National City and went to the perfect place to detach herself from everything she just knew. The worst part is everybody kept it from her. It wasn't only Kara, she figured out everybody in her life except Lex told her the truth.

Lena was away for three weeks already. She told everybody except Kara, she didn't tell them the reason. They assumed it was because of Lex's death. If only they knew.

She was in LA, some place out of her comfort zone. She spent most of her time drinking and meeting new people. She kept an eye out for innovation on the west coast. What's different is all the tech and scientific developments are known from underground sources. Only the richest of the richest have access to this. Being a Luthor ain't that bad after all.

NATIONAL CITY

Kara was standing in front of the DEO lobby with Brainy. Alex and J'onn joined them.

"You know everything would be easier with Lena around." Kara said.

"That's 98.3% correct." Brainy exclaimed.

"You're a level 12 intellect and you can't do this on your own?" Kara was upset. She looks like she's about to punch the monitors around.

"That's not a nice way to say to your colleague." J'onn warned her.

"Kara, go home and I'll call you for any updates." Alex commanded the younger Danvers.

"If any of you knows where she is, you better tell me the truth right now before you regret it." She went out the window and flew home to watch her movies and eat potstickers.

AFTER 4 HOURS

Alex walked to Kara's apartment.

"You were pretty intense earlier. You can't threaten any of us like that. That's so unprofessional of you."

"I know and I'm sorry. You can't blame me. I lost a lot of people who I loved so much. I'm not ready to lose the one who matters the most." Kara was in the brink of crying when Alex pulled her into a tight hug.

"I understand. Kara, I lost Maggie and Dad. I know what you're going through but Lena went away. She'll come back when she knows you need her."

"She left without telling me. Who does that?" Kara stood up and started pacing back and forth.

"Kara, she told me she was leaving. I kept it from you." Kara stopped.

Alex continued, "Before you go off and get mad at me, Lena asked me to keep it from you. She didn't tell me why she was leaving or where she's going. But she told me the day after Lex died."

"This is unbelievable. She is unbelievable." Kara was standing, hands on hips, shocked.

"We can't blame her. Maybe this is the way she's dealing with grief."

"Remember when Sam and Ruby left? We were happy cause they were starting a new life. We know where they are and we talk to them still. This is different. Lena left and it feels like she's never coming back."

"You're Supergirl. You can do everything you want. What's stopping you from looking for her?" Alex wanted to know why Kara never even fought for finding Lena before.

"Maybe she figured out I'm Supergirl, and she doesn't love me anymore."

"I get it. She might be angry knowing the truth but not loving you anymore? You're the only person who stood by her, Kara Danvers or Kara Zor-el. Everything you did for her is good." Alex was about to cry too. She knew her sister loves Lena more than friends. She never insisted because she wanted Kara to say it out loud.

"I love her. I love her so much that all I want to do is shield her from anything that causes her pain and harm. Now, I know that I'm the one who made her this sad and hurt to the point where she left everything she has just to get away from me." Kara was breaking down and Alex couldn't do anything about it.

They sat in silence for a few minutes until Kara decided to pack her bags.

"I'm looking for her, Alex. I can't stay here knowing she's out there alone. I can fly back whenever you need me but this time, I need her."

Alex knew she wouldn't be able to stop Kara. This is her sister at rock bottom.

"Call me when you find her." was all Alex can say. She knows the Girl of Steel can't be stopped.
