"Alex?" Kara called when she woke up and her sister was gone.
Feeling thirsty, she decided to try to move to the kitchen and get some water. But as soon as she sat up, she got a little dizzy.
"Alex, are you in here?" Kara asked, hating how vulnerable she was feeling without her powers.
Hearing no response, she unwrapped herself from the blankets, the action causing her to shiver slightly. She placed her favourite one back around her body and slowly stood up. Swaying slightly, she made her way towards her fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. She then stumbled towards a chair near the countertop and sat down before finally soothing her sore throat with cold water.
"Aghh, I hate being human." She complained to herself, resting her head on the cold countertop in order to ease her throbbing headache. She closed her eyes and let sleep claim her. And that's how her sister found her entering the apartment five minutes later.
Alex quietly walked into the apartment and put the food on the table before walking up to her sister and gently feeling her forehead. When Kara didn't even stir, she decided to let her rest a little longer.
"Hey, Kar. How are you feeling?" Alex asked when Kara woke up half an hour later.
"Not-not so good." Kara answered, her voice raspy.
"That's what I thought." Alex smiled sympathetically. "But I've got something for you." Alex added picking up a soup she had brought for Kara.
"I don't know. I'm not really hungry." Kara said before coughing.
"That's because you haven't tasted this delicious soup yet." Alex said tying to get her sister to eat.
"Yeah, I guess I can try some of it."
"That's the spirit." Alex smiled putting the food in front of Kara.
"After you're done we will get you some more medicine."
"Okay." Kara conceded wearily.
"Done?" Alex asked when she saw Kara playing with her food.
"Yeah." Kara answered her eyes drooping.
"Let's get you in your bed then." Alex suggested helping Kara to the bedroom.
"Stay with me?" Kara asked with pleading eyes when she saw Alex walking away.
"I'm not going anywhere." Alex promised sitting on the bed. "I'll be back in a second. I just need to get some medicine from the kitchen, okay?"
"Okay." Kara agreed watching her sister walk away.
Waiting patiently for her sister to come back, she bagan to wonder if the woman she had saved was okay. What about her family? Her friends? She must have had someone important in her life. She was brought back to reality by Alex waving a hand in front of her face.
"Kara, are you okay?" Alex asked concerned, sqeezing her hand.
"Umm, yeah, I-I'm okay. Do you know how that girl is doing?" Kara asked as Alex helped her sit up.
"She's going to be okay." Alex reassured. "I'm more worried about you right now." Alex confessed handing Kara a couple of pills and a glass of water.
"I'll be okay." Kara assured before swallowing the pills.
"I'll make sure of that." Alex promised helping her get back under the comforter.
"My head hurts." Kara whispered, exhaustion evident in her voice.
Alex rushed to the bathroom and filled a bowl with lukewarm water and grabbed a cloth before coming back to her sister's bedside. She climbed into the bed next to Kara and dabbed her face and neck with the cloth before leaving it on her forehead.
"Try to get some rest." Alex stroked her cheek, reaching for the thermometer as Kara tucked her head in the crook between her neck and shoulder.
"Okay." Kara breathed a sigh of relief when Alex placed the cloth back on her forehead.
Waking in the middle of the night Kara felt a burning sensation in the back of her throat. Trying to get her coughing fit under control, she turned away from her sister, trying not to wake her.
"Sorry." Kara wheezed coughing uncontrollably when she felt Alex rubbing soothing circles over her back.
"Shh, just focus on your breathing." Alex instructed while Kara continued to struggle with her breathing.
"Don't- don't leave me." Kara pleaded when she saw her sister getting up.
"I've already told you that I'm not going anywhere." Alex repeated. "But I have bought some supplies to make you feel better." She added heading back to the kitchen.
"This should make your breathing easier." Alex said putting the inhaler in her mouth.
