I don't know what happened but this stuck in my head for a while and I realized it was only going away if I wrote it. So there you go. Read and review, please! (This is AU! Set in episode 207 when Mon-El and Kara get captured by CADMUS)
"What are you going to do with me?"
Kara Danvers had never really been one for fear. Not only because she had super powers beyond any other who would want to hurt her, but because she was raised to not be afraid, by both her set of parents.
"She was supposed to save Mon-El!"
When she was strapped to the table though, fear raced through her veins.
"Don't worry, Supergirl. He'll be fine." The way he said her name sent shivers down her spine and she wished she still had her powers.
"Mr. James. It's time," Lillian Luther said.
"First, some blood," a voice said close to her head. Kara turned toward the voice just as she felt the knife slowly slide across her skin, leaving it burning. She almost but off her tongue in order to keep quiet as Mr. James squeezed the burning skin, drawing blood.
"I didn't think you'd be so...primitive." Lillian laughed softly as she watched and Kara wished she could hurt the woman.
"You think I want to be careful with our little superhero alien? After all she's done to us?" Mr. James replied.
"No, I suppose not."
Kara felt the tears burn in her eyes as he worked, slowly taking a couple of vials of blood. Most of her blood though, spilled on the table and she could feel it soaking through her suit. She'd have to talk to Winn about that.
"What are your plans? Now that you have her here?" Kara turned her head away from Mr. James and glared at Lillian.
"I have something in mind." Mr. James turned away and Kara wished she could see what he was doing. "I need some privacy though."
"I'm not sure that-"
"You gave me free reign, get the fuck out of my face before I make you."
Kara shivered this time as his voice promised her pain, and lots of it. She had heard it before and she wished she could ignore it, but she couldn't. Not strapped to the table she couldn't.
"Alright, Mr. James."
Lillian's heels clicked agains the floor and Kara realized that the room was clearing as Mr. James was busy setting up something she couldn't see.
"Supergirl…now that you don't have your powers, you're in for so much pain, it's going to show even when your powers return."
"Kara?"
Alex. She'd been all Kara had been able to think about, keeping her safe and getting out of that hellhole alive to do that.
She opened her eyes and stared right into Alex' eyes, relieved that her sister was safe and scared out of her mind that Mr. James could still be out there.
"Wh-" she almost chocked on the dryness of her throat and as she coughed, she realized that they were still in danger.
"Take it easy. Here, drink something." Alex pushed a straw between her lips and Kara sipped. It cooled her throat and made her mind a little clearer.
"Alex, we have to get out of here." It didn't even sink in that they weren't in the bunker anymore.
"We're at the DEO. Don't worry, Kara. We're safe." Alex took Kara's hand and smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes.
"Oh thank god," Kara breathed out, everything in her body suddenly making itself known. "What about..."
"Lillian Luther got away, but the man...the guy hurting you was apprehended."
Kara felt herself pale, her whole body turning cold and she gritted her teeth against the tears burning in her eyes. She closed her eyes as she let the news settle.
"Good." At least one of the people hurting her had been caught. She was safe against him.
"He's going to rot in jail for a long time Kara. I promise you."
"I know." Kara opened her eyes and took a deep breath. "Alex, things happened...I have to...I lost my powers, and...they...he...used that against me."
Alex paled and shook her head. "Kara, the cuts and bruises tell me a story. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"But I do. Don't you see?" Kara tried to sit up but her body protested against the movement, her sides, her back and her stomach aching beyond belief. It was something she was going to have to get used to. "Alex, he did things to Supergirl that...he was...damn!"
Even though she knew she had to tell her sister, she wanted to tell her sister, it was harder than she had imagined.
"You can tell me later okay? When you feel up to it." Alex closed her eyes for a moment before fixing her gaze on the machines beeping next to the bed. "We know he tortured you even though there doesn't seem to be anything he wanted to know. He admitted he did it just for the fun of it."
"I know."
"He admitted to taking your blood for Lillian Luther but he didn't tell me why. I think he doesn't even know." Alex cleared her throat. "He was gloating. He was proud of himself because he is the only known person to hurt you."
"It's...what else did he tell you?" Kara asked even though she knew.
"He told me to ask you." Alex swallowed. "He told me to ask you because you had enjoyed it as much as he had."
Kara gagged as she thought of what he had done to her. "I didn't-"
"Kara, I know. I know you didn't enjoy being tortured for nothing. I know, okay? It's what he said. He's crazy. Dangerous." Alex shivered and Kara cleared her throat as it seemed to close around the words.
"Alex he...after he got done cutting into my skin he needed something else and I was weak...not just because I had lost my powers but because of the blood...I couldn't fight because I was strapped to that table." Kara swallowed again, the words only becoming harder to say. "He...he forced himself on me."
