You asked for a sick Kara story, you got it. This chapter is focused mostly on sick Kara being cared for by Alex and a little by Maggie.
"Kara," Alex yelled as she watched her sister fall to the ground after she used her heat vision to destroy a robot that was threatening National City.
Alex ran to her sister, knowing something was wrong before she even got to her.
"I think I blew my powers," Kara said, rubbing her head as Alex helped her sit up.
"You think?" Alex said, shaking her head after she realized Kara was pretty much alright.
"Come on," Alex said, helping Kara up, "Let's get you back to the DEO."
The sisters walked back toward the car, Kara leaning on Alex as they did. Kara fell asleep in the car on the way back to the DEO, Alex hating to wake her but having to when they got back. They spent the rest of the night at the DEO, recharging Kara and running tests to make sure she was alright.
By the end of the night, Kara was cranky and miserable and exhausted, and they all decided it would be best to let her go home with Alex for some rest instead of keeping her for more tests.
"How about we stop at the diner on the way home for breakfast?" Alex asked as they headed back to her place.
"Sure," Kara said with a sigh, "But can we get it to go?"
She was so tired from being up all night and being poked and prodded and the thought of interacting with people made her want to cry.
"Of course," Alex said, seeing how worn out and emotional her little sister was.
On their way to their favorite diner, Kara called in sick from work, knowing there was no way she would be able to work with how tired she was. They stopped and picked up breakfast, eating on their way home.
Alex noticed that Kara was just kinda picking at hers, but she figured the blonde girl was just tired.
By the time they got there, Kara was feeling gross and desperately wanted sleep.
"Go get into pajamas and bed," Alex said, letting her sister into her apartment.
As Kara headed into Alex's bedroom, she felt her stomach turn over and before she knew what was going one, she threw up on the hardwood floor. She ran for the bathroom, throwing up in the toilet as soon as she got there. As she wretched, she felt someone pulling her hair off her shoulders.
When she finished, she pulled her head away from the toilet, closing her eyes.
"Kara," Alex said, grabbing a wet washcloth and wiping her sisters face, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know," Kara said, rubbing her face with her hands as tears started to form, "I feel really awful. And I threw up on your floor. I'm sorry."
"Floors can easily be cleaned," Alex said, rubbing Kara's back getly as the alien curled up in her lap, "There's a stomach bug going around, and with your powers blown, I know your immune system is gone. Maybe you cought it at the diner or the DEO. A few people have come down with it there. Maybe we should go back to the DEO?"
"So I can throw up there?" Kara asked miserably as tears formed in her eyes, "Can't we just stay here? You've been sick like this plenty of times and been fine."
"Alright," Alex sai, wiping the tears off her sister's flushed face, "Let's get you into some pajamas and into bed. I'll get you some medicine and something to drink."
Kara nodded sleepily. However, as Kara went to get up, her stomach flipped again and she was back heaving over the toilet. Once Kara's stomach settled, Alex helped her up and got her changed into pajamas before tucking her into bed and putting a trash can next to the bed.
"Alex," Kara moaned, looking at her sister, "Don't leave me."
"I'll be right back," Alex said, smoothing Kara's hair off her forehead, "I need to get some medicine and a drink for you and I need to call Maggie. And I need to clean up the floor."
"You were supposed to go on a date tonight," Kara said as her brain cleared a little, "You should go. I don't need you here."
"No offense Kara," Alex said, looking at her sister, "But you have never had a stomach bug before. It's not fun. We also have no clue how your body will react to this so there is no way I'm leaving you alone."
Kara didn't have the energy to argue so she just let Alex go. The first thing the older Danvers sister did was clean up the bedroom floor. Alex then went into the kitchen, grabbing some pepto out of the fridge along with a bottle of ginger ale. She grabbed her phone and called Maggie.
"Danvers," the agent said, answering, "Hey. We still on for tonight?"
"Actually…" Alex started.
"Danvers," Maggie said, "Are you serious? You better have a good excuse."
"Kara blew out her powers," Alex said, pouring the ginger ale into a glass filled with ice, "Which, normally, wouldn't be a problem. However, she caught that stomach bug that's going around the city and is so sick. I can't leave her like this. Especially because she's never had a stomach bug before. She's so pitiful Mags."
"I get it," Maggie said, smiling a little as she heard the worry and love in Alex's voice, "We can reschedule for when Kara is feeling better. Let me know if you two need anything."
"Thank you," Alex said, smiling a little, "I'll talk to you soon."
Alex headed back into her bedroom where Kara was curled up in a little ball in the bed.
"Hey sweet girl," Alex said, setting the medicine and drink down on the side table, "This should make you feel a little better."
Alex had Kara drink about half a bottle of pepto because of her crazy metabolism.
"Alex," Kara said shakily about two minutes later.
Alex grabbed the bucket and got it under Kara's mouth just as the younger girl threw up all the medicine and more food. Alex rubbed her back, trying to do anything to help her feel better. When Kara was finished, Alex took the trash can and rinsed it before climbing into bed with her little sister.
"Alex," Kara whined, shivering as tears started running down her face.
"I know," Alex said, wrapping her arms around Kara, "I know. You feel terrible. I'm sorry. This should only last twenty-four to forty-eight hours or until your powers kick back on. You'll be alright."
Alex knew hugging and being near Kara exposed her to the same nasty bug, but her little sister needed her so Alex just cuddled Kara close.
"Do you want to sleep or watch a movie?" Alex asked gently, rubbing Kara's back.
"Movie," Kara said, sniffling a little bit.
"Lilo and Stitch?" Alex asked, knowing that was one of Kara's favorites.
The younger woman nodded, whining a little bit as Alex let go of her.
"I'm just going to put the movie on," Alex said, giving Kara's hand a gentle squeeze before going to get the well-loved DVD.
She turned on the TV and within a few minutes had the movie on.
"Come back," Kara demanded as soon as she heard the movie start.
"I'm coming," Alex said with a laugh as she climbed back in with Kara, the younger girl snuggling as close to her big sister as possible.
Alex rubbed Kara's back, feeling her little sister shivering.
About twenty minutes into the movie, Alex felt Kara tense and grabbed the trash can just as Kara threw up in it. Alex calmed her down once she was done before cleaning the can again. The pattern continued for most of the rest of the day. Kara tried sipping on the ginger ale, but couldn't hold it down.
Kara grew more and more irritable and cranky as the day wore on, the exhaustion from both the blow out and sickness wearing on her. Alex tried to keep her calm and comfortable, but Alex was also exhausted from being up with Kara for the whole night and day.
By that night, around eleven, Kara hadn't thrown up in about two hours and managed to fall asleep. Alex tried to stay awake incase her little sister needed her, but not sleeping the night before made that impossible, and soon, she too fell asleep.
Kara woke up around 2 am, her stomach clenching. She rolled over, grabbing the trash can and throwing up into it. Alex woke up when she felt Kara moving, rubbing her sister's sweaty back as she threw up.
"Alex," Kara whined, rubbing wiping off her mouth.
"I know Kar," Alex said, bringing her little sister closer to her, "You should start to feel better soon."
The Kara fell asleep quickly and Alex wasn't far behind. The next morning, Alex woke up around nine, carefully slipping out of bed without disturbing her sick sister. Alex had texted J'onn and told him she wasn't coming in because Kara was so sick so she wasn't worried about work. Alex made herself a quick breakfast, eating some of it.
However, she noticed the eggs she made didn't taste as good as she was hoping. She ate about half of them before throwing them away. Alex grabbed herself a bottle of water before getting Kara some ginger ale out of the fridge. She poured it into a glass, stirring out some of the carbonation before bringing it to her sick sister.
"Lex?" Kara said sleepily, opening her eyes a little.
"Hey Kar," Alex said, setting down the cup and brushing a hand over head sister's forehead, sighing when she still felt a fever raging in her sister's body, "How are you feeling this morning?"
"Icky," Kara said, rubbing her eyes, "Less vomity but still icky."
"This might make you feel a little better," Alex said, handing her the ginger ale.
"Can I take a shower?" Kara asked after she finished her sip of ginger ale.
"Sure," Alex said, "But you know I don't care if you're gross?"
"I know," Kara said, "But I feel so gross. And sometimes when you were sick, you said showering helped, right?"
"Yeah," Alex said with a smile, "Come on. I'll help you."
Alex pulled back the covers and helped Kara stand up.
"Woah," Kara said, putting her hands on her head.
"You alright?" Alex asked as Kara sat back down on the bed.
"My head feels weird," Kara said, "And my vision is kinda blurry."
"You're probably starting to get dehydrated," Alex said, sitting down next to Kara and rubbing her back, "We should probably get you to the DEO."
"Has this ever happened to you before?" Kara asked, rubbing her head.
"Yeah," Alex said, "Sure. Lots of times when I was sick, especially with a stomach virus or fever."
"Then I'm fine," Kara said.
"But we don't know how this will effect you," Alex stressed, nervous for her sister.
"I'm fine," Kara said, "I can see again. Let's try a shower."
"How about a bath instead?" Alex asked, "It will make you feel better, and you won't have to stand to do it."
"Alright," Kara said, staying put while Alex went to run a bath.
Alex knew just how Kara liked her baths and added a eucalyptus scented bath bomb to help calm Kara.
Once the bath was ready, Alex went to get Kara.
"You ready?" the older Danvers sister asked.
Kara nodded and got up, this time without the head rush. Kara got in the bath, sighing as she felt the warm water on her skin. She had never felt this sick in her life, mostly because she had barely ever been sick before, and she couldn't wait for this to be over. Kara must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knows, she hears voices outside the door.
"Alex," Kara called weakly, the water cold and her body feeling more off than before.
"Hey," her sister called through the door, "You alright in there?"
"I think I fell asleep in the tub," Kara said, rubbing her eyes.
"Do you need help?" Alex called, cracking the door slightly.
"I think I'm alright," Kara said, "But can you stay by the door just in case?"
"Of course," Alex said, closing the door again.
Kara pulled the drain plug and grabbing her towel. Kara got up, wrapping her sore body in the towel. She sat down on the edge of the tub, letting her head catch up with her body.
Kara managed to pull on her pajamas before exiting the bathroom.
Alex smiled a little at her younger sister as she came out of the bathroom.
"Feel any better?" Alex asked, wrapping her arm around Kara's waist.
Kara just shrugged, leaning on her sister.
"Want to go back to bed?" Alex asked running her hands through her sister's wet hair.
"Can I go out to the couch?" Kara asked, not really wanting to go back to bed just yet.
"Of course," Alex said, "Just so you know, through, Maggie is here.
"That's ok," Kara said, sleepily, "I like Maggie."
Alex smiled as she guided her sick sister into the living room before going into the kitchen.
"Hey Little Danvers," Maggie said, offering Kara a smile, "I heard you've had a rough few days."
Kara nodded, crashing onto the couch.
"Are you feeling any better?" Maggie asked from her place in the chair.
Kara just shrugged, closing her eyes. Maggie got up, wrapping a blanket around Kara before going into the kitchen with Alex.
"Hey," Maggie said, wrapping her arms around Alex's waist, "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine," Alex said quickly, pouring a can of ginger ale into a glass for Kara before breaking out of Maggie's grasp, opening the cabinets under her sink to grab out a bucket for her sick sister, just in case. Maggie didn't miss the bags under Alex's eyes or the way she wouldn't look at her. Alex went to grab the glass, but Maggie grabbed her hand, turning her around to face her.
"Come on Mags," Alex said, "I need to get this stuff to Kara."
"She's sleeping," Maggie said, looking over at the couch, "I'm more worried about you right now. Have you slept at all in the past few days?"
"Some," Alex said, avoiding her girlfriend's eyes.
Maggie lifted Alex's chin so her eyes were looking at her own.
"You look exhausted babe," Maggie said, brushing a piece of lose hair from Alex's face, "I'm here now. Let me take care of Kara, just for a little while, so you can sleep."
"I'm fine Mags," Alex said, "She needs me. She's never been this sick before. I need to help her."
"I know how to take care of a sick person," Maggie said, putting her arms around Alex's shoulders, interlocking her fingers behind her, "Half my squad has had this bug over the past week, and we've all taken turns running soup, crackers, and ginger ale around to everyone who had it. I'll take good care of her. Please go sleep."
Alex opened her mouth to argue, but instead, a yawn came out.
"Bed," Maggie said, pulling her girlfriend into a hug, "I'll go watch Kara."
Alex nodded, grabbing a quick kiss from Maggie before going into her bedroom. Maggie grabbed the bucket and ginger ale before walking into the living room. Kara had just woken up and looked a little dazed.
"Hey," Maggie said, sitting down on the couch, letting Kara move to have her head resting on Maggie's lap.
"Want me to braid your hair?" Maggie asked, running her fingers through Kara's slightly damp hair.
"Sure," Kara said, moving a little so Maggie could braid her long locks, "Where's Alex?"
"She went to lay down," Maggie said, making quick work of braiding Kara's long hair, "You're stuck with me."
"That's fine with me," Kara said, smiling at her sister's girlfriend, "Thanks for taking such good care of Alex… and me."
"That's what family does," Maggie said, tying off the last of the braid, "Now, would you like to watch some TV?"
"Sure," Kara said, settling back down onto Maggie's lap.
However, before Maggie got the TV on, Kara felt her stomach turn over and sat up, hand over her mouth.
"In the bucket," Maggie said, grabbing it, "In the bucket."
Kara grabbed the sides of the bucket, throwing up what little was left in her body.
"It's alright," Maggie said, rubbing Kara's back, "Let it out."
When Kara finally finished, Maggie handed her a tissue before getting up to clean out the bucket.
"This sucks," Kara said, frown on her pale face.
"It'll all be over soon," Maggie said, sitting back down, "Now lay down."
Kara did, closing her eyes. Maggie flipped through the channels, settling on the news so she could find out what she may be getting into the following day.
As the news progressed, a breaking story came up.
"Breaking News," the reporter said, "There is a massive fire in the L-Corp building. It had been reported that Lena Luthor is still unaccounted for, and it is believed she is still in the building. It is unknown if firefighters will be able to reach the fire in time, and Super Girl has yet to show up."
As they heard L-Corp was on fire, Kara suddenly jumped up, running into Alex's bedroom for all of one second before she came out in her Supergirl outfit.
"Feeling better I see," Maggie laughed, watching her pseudo-sister about to fly.
"Yeah," Kara said, "Got my powers back. See you soon."
Maggie left the news on for a while, watching Kara put of the fire and Lena Luthor from the fire. Once everyone was saved and the fire was out, while the news was still covering the fire, Kara was flying back into the apartment.
"Nicely done," Maggie said, smiling.
"Luckily there wasn't too much damage," Kara said, "Hopefully they are able to get the repairs done quickly."
"And I'm sure Lena was grateful that Super Girl was there to save her," Maggie said, smiling a little.
"She's my best friend," Kara said, "I would do anything to save her."
Maggie just smiled because she and Alex had discussed many times that Lena and Kara would make a great couple, but they never told Kara about these conversations.
"I think I might head home," Kara said, "I'm sure you and Alex would like some alone time, and even though I'm all super, I still exhausted. I'm gonna go see if Alex is awake before I go."
As much as Kara loved Maggie and knew that Alex needed sleep, she still craved her big sister when she wasn't at her best. Kara went into Alex's room, seeing that her sister was just waking up.
"Hey Alex," Kara said, smiling at her big sister, "I got my powers back."
"Good," Alex said, rubbing her eyes as she looked at her sister before putting a hand on her stomach, "Oh. I don't feel well at all."
"Oh no," Kara said, going to her sister and putting a hand on her forehead, frowning when she felt the warmth of a fever, "You probably caught what I had. I'm sorry Alex."
"It's not your fault," Alex said, rubbing her stomach, "I'll be fine."
"Do you want me to stay?" Kara asked, sitting down next to Alex.
"I've got her," Maggie said, coming into the room with a glass of ginger ale, "I'm not kicking you out or anything, but I know you said you're tired."
"Ok," Kara said, nodding, "I think I am gonna go. I just want my own bed. Call me if you guys need anything. Feel better Lex."
Kara hugged her sister and Maggie before heading out the window.
There was the first chapter. I have at least one more chapter planned. Anyone have any suggestions for other stories?
