Disclaimer: I don't own Supergirl or the characters. This is written purely for fun.
A/N: This is based on a prompt from maryamm70 where Kara gets hurt and requires Alex and Eliza to take care of her.
I couldn't write fast enough so this is set a couple of weeks ago before Alex gets her memories. It is mainly comfort, with a little bit of angst.
As Kara walked down the alley way to the side of her apartment building a man armed with a knife stepped out in front of her.
"Give me your bag." He demanded as he waved his knife.
"Seriously?" Kara asked unimpressed.
"I'm not messing. Give me your bag." He demanded. "Wait, I know you. You're the human hating, alien lover."
"No, I'm a reporter who respects everyone. Except you." Kara replied as he leaned forward and grabbed her bag.
"I don't think so." She said keeping hold of the bag, trying not to use to much strength.
When the mugger couldn't pull the bag away easily he looked at her confused before slashing the knife at her demanding.
"Give me the bag."
As he made the demand Kara felt a searing pain in her side.
"You stabbed me." She said looking just as surprised as the mugger who panicked and fled.
As the mugger ran off Kara put a hand to the side where it hurt and felt it was warm and damp. Pulling her hand away she saw it was covered in blood.
"So not good." She muttered as she placed a hand over the wound and tried to stem the bleeding.
Not wanting to be seen by any helpful bystander who might take her to a hospital Kara stumbled to the end of the alley and into her apartment building.

As Kara got into her apartment she threw down her bag and shrugged off her coat so she could look at the wound, worried it was still bleeding.
Knowing she couldn't call Alex she tried to clean and treat the wound as best as she could, wondering why it wasn't healing even though she had powers.
Moving to a mirror she tried searching for any sign of Kryptonite, even though she did not sense the telltale signatures. Not seeing anything in the wound she rinsed it once more before trying to dress it in a way that would stem the bleeding.
Having cleaned and bandaged it she picked up her phone and called J'onn, hoping he had returned to the city. Getting no response she leaned on one of her chairs and wondered what she should do. As she considered her options her front door opened and Alex walked in.
"Alex?" Kara asked surprised.
"Nice to see you too." Alex replied entering the apartment. "Did you forget you said you were going to help me look for patterns in the recent attacks?"
"Um, yes." Kara said.
"Do you want me to go?" Alex asked.
"No of course not." Kara said before noticing her blood stained coat and quickly moving to pick it up and remove it from Alex's view. But as she did so she stretched her side and grimaced in pain.
"What's wrong?"Alex asked hurrying to her side, too focused on her sister to see the coat.
"Nothing." Kara replied.
"Kara, don't lie. You're in pain. What's happened?" Alex asked, her voice full of concern.
"I hurt my side."
"How?"
"At the umm, gym. Yes the gym with Lena … I err, lifted too much." She lied.
"I thought you did spin, not weights."
"Well I was so pumped after spin class I thought why not. Now I know why not."
"You shouldn't push so hard." Alex said before turning towards the kitchen. "I'll get you some ice."
"No." Kara said quickly causing Alex to turn back and face her. Seeing Alex's confused stare she added. "I've just iced it."
"Do you want me to look at it?" Alex offered.
"No, it's just a muscle strain. I'll be fine. How about going over those records?" She suggested as Alex's phone rang.
"Danvers." Alex answered although she continued to look at Kara with an expression of concern and suspicion. "Damn it. Okay, I'll be right there." She said hanging up.
"There have been some more attacks I'm needed at the DEO. Are you going to be okay?"
"I'll be fine." Kara said. "Go. But be careful." She asked.
"Always." Alex said giving Kara one more concerned glance before leaving.
Once Alex had gone Kara turned on the TV before heading to the bathroom and removing the bandage. Seeing the wound still hadn't healed properly she considered calling Brainy. But then she heard the news about Nia's exploits and didn't want to disturb either of them. So instead she redressed the injury and crawled into bed. As she lay there, her side throbbing she really started to miss Alex and the relationship they used to have and a deep routed feeling of emptiness and solitude passed over her.
