"We have to take that sword out of her." Max stated while the older Danvers watched her sister with worried eyes.
"I'm afraid that if we take it out she'll bleed out. It's a kryptonite wound Max, she'll not heal in 10 seconds, it could take several days, even weeks for her to heal completely without the solar chamber." Alex's tone was filled with worry.
"We can't let it there forever though, who knows when we will get people out of The Walking Dead state so we can go to your secret organization for her to heal. Aren't you and Max kind of doctors?" Cat said in her bossy way which was letting out a bit of worry too.
"Ok, but we'll have to be careful and before we do it we'll have to gather supplies so we can stop the bleeding once the sword comes out. We have the advantage that she's passed out but when she wakes up she'll need something for the pain. As I can see, she has some badly bruised ribs that we have to take care too" said Alex while moving from under Kara's head to try to find something that could help.
"I have a first aid kit and some medical supplies on my purse, sometimes Carter is a clumsy kid. I'm going to get them." Cat went to grab her things.
"I'll keep watch. Who knows if a crazy zombie will show up." Max said.
Alex glared at him and went inside with Cat to find supplies.
"Doesn't it hurt her? You know, this green glowing things in your suit." Cat asked.
"Damn! I completely forgot about that!" Alex said while breaking the kryptonite parts of the armor.
"Your sister is a great person, she have inspired me so much. Both as Supergirl and as Keira even if I don't like to accept. She sometimes talk about you in the office, you are her hero, don't fail her now, she'll need you." Cat said when she saw the guilty look on Alex's face.
"My sister likes you a lot too, Ms. Grant. She sees the good behind your cold attitude. She'll need you as well." Alex said looking at the smaller woman with a little more empathy, Kara was not completely wrong about her after all.
Alex went into the small restroom of the station and found some towels and pain meds in the cabinet. When she got back to the main room Cat was pouring herself some whisky.
"We totally could use that." said Alex pointing to the bottle full of the alcoholic drink. "I think that Kara's alien metabolism will prevent infections but it'll be good to clean the wound, just to be safe."
"Sure." Cat said while she finished drinking from the glass in her hand. "I already got the things." she said raising her purse to show Alex the supplies. "Let's go, chop chop!"
Max was pacing around like a caged wild animal. It was cold outside so he had taken out his jacket and covered Kara with it as if it was a blanket.
"Okay, let's do this! Max, I need you to hold her leg in place, she'll try to move it when I start to pull the sword out, I don't want her hurting it more, gladly the wound is not near important arteries. Ms. Grant, I need you to keep her calm, the pain will make her wake up, you will have to make her stay still and keep her from panicking." Alex commanded.
"Okay." said Max while grabbing Kara's leg and holding it with a strong grip.
"Just make it quick." Cat demanded as she laid Kara's head in her lap and started to play with the superhero's hair in the same fashion Alex was before.
The older Danvers started to pull the sword out and when she was halfway through it Kara came to screaming.
"Calm down, Kara! You are going to be alright, baby!" Alex said looking in her sister's eyes.
"Damn! She's strong even without super strength." complained Max while he struggled to hold her leg.
"Keira, if you don't stay still you are fired." Cat couldn't think of anything to say, Kara's screams were making her really stressed she was going to need extra Lexapro after this was finished.
When Alex finally got the sword out of her, Kara was struggling to breathe, the combination of the screaming and the bruised ribs making her a sobbing mess. Cat whispered comforting words as she caressed her hair and face.
"It's going to be okay, sweetheart. Just hold on for me a little more. It's going to be over soon." Alex said in a gentle tone as she poured the alcohol to clean the wound, dressed it with the gauze from the first aid kit and made a makeshift bandage with the towels and some medical adhesive tape.
By the end of this, Kara was exhausted. She could barely keep her eyes open as Cat continued to confort her.
"It's all done baby. You're okay know. Everything is going to be alright. Please, stay awake a little while for me." Alex said caressing her sister's cheek.
Kara nodded weakly. Alex could feel that her sister was shivering she didn't know if it was because of the blood loss or because of the cold night air. "We have to take her inside. She's freezing out here."
"So, what we can do to help?" asked Cat, her voice full of concern.
"You two can go and prepare somewhere inside where I can lay her down." Alex said as she lifted Kara from the ground, carrying her bridal style minding her injuries. "I never thought I'd say that but thank Rao for this armor, you weight a ton."
Kara gave her one of her bright smiles despite the pain that she was in. "We will take care of you. I love you, Kara. You can rest now baby, I'll wake you up when needed." Alex said while placing a tender kiss in her sister's forehead.
Kara could feel the exhaustion making her mind confused and making it difficult for her to stay awake. The only thing she was sure of was that her sister would take good care of her, and with this she could sleep in peace.
