Chapter 1.

Pain was all that Kara could feel in her body, After a brutal battle with a machine built by none other than Maxwell Lord, Kara could barely fly back to the DEO. As she limped through the doors she was greeted by a familiar voice and set of arms. Alex rushed as quick as she could to Kara's side, supporting the Kryptonian so she wouldn't fall.

"Oh my God Kara, you scared the hell out of me!" Alex yelled. Kara couldn't tell if she was mad or worried.

"Don't worry Alex I'm fine" Kara mumbled. She was lying of course. Her body felt like it had been hit by a meteor and then some, but she didn't want to worry Alex anymore than she already had.

Normally if it had been anyone else trying to help Kara through the halls, she would try and break apart from them, declaring she could walk by herself. Although since this was Alex, she gladly leaned her head on the brunettes shoulder and wrapped an arm around her waist, relaxing her tense muscles. The sisters walked slowly to the sun room where Kara could heal from her battle, not uttering a word. As Kara settled herself on the table, Hank had entered to talk about the monster she had faced.

"We haven't been able to locate Lord but from what the scout team was able to bring back from the nuts and bolts you left us," Kara smirked, proud she had beaten her foe, "we have enough to place this tech from that weasels company." Hank went on and on about how the robot was so powerful and this and that, but Kara wasn't listening. Instead she was glancing at Alex every time she wasn't looking. Kara would never admit it, but every now and then when she would face an enemy as deadly as the android, she would be a little shaken up. The only comfort she had at the moment was the brunette standing beside her. Alex's presence brought Kara a familiar sense of relief. While sneaking another glance at Alex's face, Kara's eyes began to droop. It was if the last few days of late nights, fighting crime had finally caught up to her. Alex noticed Kara's tired expression and stopped Hank mid sentence.

"J'onn, Kara doesn't want to talk about the android right now. She needs rest and time to heal." She states not angrily, but defensive.

This surprises both Kara and Hank on how she interrupted the man. Alex hardly ever got stern with her superior before. Sure the three of them had a bond most of the other agents wouldn't understand, (mainly because only Alex and Kara knew he was a Martian) but there still remained a professional relationship between them. Hank only raised one eyebrow, his face wasn't angry, confused or even irritated. His expression was completely unreadable.

"Okay. Kara, you get some sleep. Alex let's leave her alone." Hank started for the door and yet again Alex surprised them didn't move a single inch. Kara was having an extremely difficult time not laughing. Hank looked at them both and walked out of the sun room chuckling and shaking his head. Alex turned her attention back to Kara.

"I'll leave you in a minute. First I need to see how hurt you are."

"I'm okay Alex, really I'm just sore." Kara responded grinning. She succumbed to her amusement and laughed at how defiant Alex was towards Hank today.

"Stop lying, I'm not an idiot you know."

Alex carefully lifted Kara's torn Supergirl top to reveal her torso. Her skin revealed many bruises and a long but thin cut across the right side of her rib cage. Alex's eyes grew with worry.
"Kara just look at this! Your body looks like a blueberry muffin!" Kara laughed at the strange comparison Alex made, then she did her best to stop because it really hurt her chest.

Alex traced her fingers lightly on the bruises, trying her best not to hurt the blonde beneath her. Alex wanted to to retract her hand but something was stopping her. Seeing Kara's body (Yes, even with a sports bra and a hell of a lot of bruises) made Alex's heart rate Kara noticed Alex's lingering hand rather quickly and welcomed it with her own own. She intertwined her fingers with Alex's and squeezed lightly, breaking the agent out of her trance.

"I'm okay. Seriously. You don't need to worry about me Alex. I'll be fine in a few hours." she said in a sweet voice. Alex hesitated, not wanting to leave Kara alone, but she could see the Kryptonian's eyes droop with exhaustion. "Okay Kar, I'll let you get some sleep. Call me on the mic' if you need anything." Kara nodded and smiled as Alex placed a quick yet gentle kiss on her forehead. As Alex began to leave the sun room, Kara stopped her.

"There is actually something you could do for me if that's okay with you." She asked shyly. Alex immediately spun around, ready to hear her sister's request. "Could you go to my apartment and bring me back some clothes? I'd wear something from here, but DEO clothes are not that comfy."

"Of course, anything else?" Alex asked a little too quickly.

Kara gently shook her head and smiled, "Thanks Alex i really appreciate it." Alex returned the smile and gave her another kiss in the forehead and headed off to find Hank, so she could tell him where she was going. It didn't take long to find the old man; as usual when things were quiet, he was sitting in his office, eating a bag Jerky and and drinking a Pepsi whilst reading a book. This combination always made Hank happy, as there was no soda or jerky on Mars.

"Ah Alex, do you need something?" he asked without even looking up from his book. Before she could respond, he raised his snack to her and asked, "Want some?" continuing to focus on his reading.

Alex politely shook her head and stated, "I'm going to make a trip to Kara's place to pick her up some clothes, so I'll be gone for awhile."

Hank snapped his eyes to meet Alex's and he chuckled, "Okay go ahead, but try and hurry. I know traffic can be slow and it's a drive and a half to get to the city, but you and i need to have a talk when you get back."

"Abou-"

Hank just cuts her off with a wave of his hand and says, "We'll talk later, for now just go get your alien her clothes." This makes Alex blish and she rushed out of Hank's office before he could notice her embarrassment. Hank laughed and went back to eating his snack. Seeing his top agent like this always made him smile. He loved those two girls like his own, but sometimes they really made him want to knock some sense into their heads.

Alex passed the sun room on her way out only so she could look through the glass to see a sleeping Kara. All Alex could think of was how cute the blonde looked when she slept. Her face so still. It was as if Kara had never endured a single shred of pain or anger. She looked utterly peaceful. The sight made Alex's heart skip a beat as she continued on her mission.

Alex drove for quite some time before she finally got into the city. 'God i hope there isn't any traffic.' she thought. With that thought, as if the universe was giving her the middle finger, she ended up catching red light, after red light all the way to Kara's apartment, extending her time away from the DEO to a whole hour. As the elevator slowly went upwards, Alex was tapping her foot impatiently.

'Come on, I have somewhere to be damn it!' Alex knew Kara was probably still asleep right now, and most likely remain that way, but Alex wanted to be by her side before she woke up. The brunette finally found herself in front of Kara's door and breathed a sigh of relief. Her mission was almost complete.

Kara woke up gasping for air. Her dreams were haunted by the android nearly killing her in front of her friends and family. Kara caught her breath and winced at the pain in her ribs. 'Ugh I wish I had a couple boxes of aspirin right now' she thought. Looking at the clock on the wall Kara saw that she had only been asleep for an hour.
Kara gently sat up and swung her legs over the edge of the sun bed. The alien wanted to stretch her legs, despite her sore body. She carefully stood up and put on a spare lab coat, which was much too big for her. She limped out of the room and thought of where she wanted to go. Maybe she could go check on Hank. He's probably still here even though its past midnight. As she staggered through the base, she saw that hardly anyone was here. The DEO always seemed to have a large mass of agents flooding the halls, both day and night. As she continued to Hank's office, she noticed that she was right next to Alex's lab.

Kara hardly ever got to go in her sisters lab. Alex was very private when she was in there. She even had the door and walls laced with specks of Kryptonite so that Kara couldn't hear what she was doing. She probably just enjoyed the silence.

'Oh what the heck, Alex won't mind if i take a peek inside.' the pretty alien guessed.
As she entered, Kara noticed not a lot had changed since the last time she's been in here. There was still a picture of both the girls in the woods by a campfire, and Alex still had her coffee mug that said, 'World's Best Sister" that Kara gave Alex for her birthday.
Kara sat in Alex's chair and turned on the computer. Maybe she could look up some things on social media, considering her phone was still at her apartment. The desktop loaded into a background of… Kara? The Kryptonian was surprised at the sight. Sure she wouldn't have been surprised if it was of both her and Alex or maybe a kitten, but she didn't expect it to be just herself.

Kara studied the background closely, examining her wide smile and big blue eyes.
'I remember when Alex took this' she thought, letting out a soft chuckle. The sisters were at Kara's apartment celebrating her new job at CatCo. They had been eating pot stickers and watching 'Game of Thrones' until it was about midnight.
Kara smiled at the fond memory but something else caught her eye. It was a folder in the top right hand corner of the screen labeled, 'Video Logs, K'
Maybe K meant Kara.

'Should i click on it?' she thought with her mouse hovering over the folder. 'No I shouldn't, it's Alex's private stuff and I can't-" Before she could finish that thought, Kara clicked on the folder. She had always succumbed to her curiosity.
The pretty alien clicked on the first video, not sure of what was to come next.
