A/N: English is not my mother tongue, so I apologize for any grammar and spelling mistakes.

Hi, guys! Thanks for the kind guest reviews and the follows/favorites.

I wasn't really sure what to write at the beginning, since I already had written the lower part of this last week, but I needed something to begin this chapter and this is what I came up with…kinda.

"Is it working?" J'onn asked, watching as Kara's body convulsed and lifted off the bed every time Alex pushed the button on the machine. Since Kara had been electrocuted several times, Alex thought, that maybe they could stimulate Kara's brain through electrocution as well. But unlike the harsh torture Kara had went through, this treatment required precise electrical power and frequency. The slight electrical currents would stimulate Kara's Kryptonian body to repair itself.

"I'm not really sure." Alex said, checking Kara's vitals. "I'm going to have to run a few tests again and see if it worked." She turned to the door, about to leave when her mother suddenly exclaimed, "Kara?!" Eliza gripped Kara's hand, expectantly. She believed she had heard a moan coming from her younger daughter.

In an instant Alex was at Kara's side, observing very closely for any movement she might make.

Looking up to the machines, she noticed the slight elevated heart rate. "Kara, can you hear me?"

She tried asking and to her surprise, the Kryptonian responded with a moan.

Kara could hear a voice, that sounded very much like her sister. Her body felt heavy, even her eye lids. Nevertheless, she sent a command to her brain to open her eyes. Very slowly the sight of a relieved Alex and a concerned Eliza filled her vision. A little at the back there was J'onn, standing there with his usual stern expression, thought with a light touch of a smile at the corner of his lips.

"How are you feeling?" Alex asked.

"Some-" ,Kara cleared her throat, "-somehow drained and my throat hurts. Wh-what hap-pened?" she managed to choke out.

"Oh Kara you're okay!" Eliza couldn't hold herself back any longer and had her younger daughter entangled in a hug, before offering her something to drink. "Here sweetheart, drink." Eliza handed her a glass of water.

"Take it easy." Alex helped Kara sit up, as she removed the wires.

While Kara took small sips of water, Alex started to explain, "There was an explosion at a facility and we all got caught in the shockwave, you got most of it though." Alex gestured to Kara's left arm that was in a cast.

The blonde looked down at her arm and her confused expression changed, recalling the event. But then she frowned at the thought of why she got injured in the first place. She was a Kryptonian. Her bones shouldn't break so easily.

Already knowing her next question, Alex said, "One of the scientist who worked there, successfully created green Kryptonite and when the facility went up in flames, you got exposed. We don't know why he was working on creating green Kryptonite, but don't worry, he's not your concern anymore."

"Do you remember what happened after that?" The brunette then asked cautiously. Her heart pounded in her chest, every second her sister stayed silent, trying to remember.

"No-I…" Kara's hand went to her throat massaging it. "I-I don't remember."

Alex let out a breath, she had unconsciously sucked in. She exchanged a glance with J'onn and his expression told her to leave it at that. Not letting her surprise and uncertainty show, Alex said, "Well, you must have hit your head pretty hard, because you suffered some brain damage, but we kinda brought you back and it's not really that bad if you can't remember what happened after the explosion. You were pretty out of it anyway, but we still have to run some few tests and put you under the sun bed." Alex spoke cautiously, trying to sound as normal as possible. She caught her mother's thoughtful expression and added, "While we put the priority to monitoring your brain and finding a solution first, we couldn't put you under the sun bed right away, so the fact that you're still injured is because, your self-healing abilities have decelerated due to the damage done to your brain."

Kara had a frown on her face, totally failing to let the information sink in and she opened her mouth to ask, "Wait, how long have I been out?!"

"Two days." J'onn said from the foot of the bed.

"TWO DAYS?!" Kara's eyes were wide in shock.

"You do know, that it could have taken a little longer to bring you back." Alex said.

"Bu-but what about work?!" Kara exclaimed. She knew it. Yep, Cat was most likely going to fire her.

She was going to lose her job, then she would have to find a new one, but what if she couldn't find a new job, then she would have no job at all, and then she wouldn't be able to pay for rent and…

"Relax," Alex said, cutting into her thoughts. "We already covered for you, or rather J'onn did."

"Oh." Kara didn't really know if it was a good thing, but at least she still had a job, if J'onn hadn't already exploded in Cat's face. She turned to J'onn and smiled wearily. "Thanks, I guess. But I have to ask, do I still have a job?" She had to make sure.

J'onn smiled, hearing the question. "If I can handle two Daverses, I can handle Cat Grand."

He turned to Eliza and added for her to hear, "And your daughters are tough."

The oldest Danvers smiled at that, gently squeezing Kara's hand. Looking at both her daughters she said, "Yes, I'm proud to have two brave and strong girls."

At that, Alex grimaced and clenched her hand.

Alex plopped down on her king-sized bed and buried her head in her pillow. She felt emotionally and physically exhausted, like she had been drained of all energy. Being awake for god knows how long had been tiring, but it had paid out, since Kara was back and with a little time under the sun bed she would recover just fine, her lost memories aside.

Alex hadn't told her the whole truth for one sole reason, and that was to spare Kara the pain of remembering what happened after the incident at the facility. She didn't want the Kryptonian to know that she had been tortured and thrown into a nightmare she wouldn't even wish for her worst enemy to experience.

Alex closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, but only so much until her stitches tugged on her side and her ribs slightly complained in pain. It was back. Hidden under all the exhaustion and soreness, the feeling that had gripped her so tightly, it just didn't seem to want to let go. She hadn't forgotten about it, but rather pushed it aside and shoved it down all the way. Yet, the guilt kept resurfacing, becoming apparent in a self destructive manner.

"It's your fault." A voice cut into her thoughts, coming from a dark corner in Alex's room.

In an instance, Alex's adrenaline level spiked. She grabbed her weapon on the night stand and shot up from her position, pointing her gun at the intruder, that sounded very much like Vander Fleming. Alex waited for a tranquilizer to pierce her skin, for a taser to connect with her body, but the awaited surprise attack never came. Instead she was left, looking at an empty corner, her eyes frantically searching for the danger. Though after a while of reassuring herself, that there was no monster lurking under the cover of darkness, her trembling arm sank onto her lap and she put her weapon away. Her heart beat fast and her hand came to her chest. It trailed down a deep red thin line, that started to scar right above her heart. Yes, it would be constant reminder of what had occurred not too long ago.

—

The knife cut into her skin, leaving a bloody line with a hook on each end.

"This," the man pressed on her wound with one finger, causing Alex to hiss through clenched teeth, "is what you're trying to protect, yes?" It was more a statement than a question. Vander Fleming maneuvered himself behind Alex and leaned forward to whisper into her ear. "It's a shame that it will remind you every day, every minute, every second, that you failed."

Alex's heart sank even further down the spiral of guilt and shame, her head hang down. Her ribs hurt like hell, her wrists burned, rubbed raw, her pulse pounded loudly in her ears, aggravating the pain with each heartbeat. But the pain she felt, was nothing compared to Kara's. Over and over she had to experience the nightmare she has escaped years ago. And now her scars were being ripped open by a monster, that took pleasure in watching her suffer.

"I know you, agent Danvers." Fleming began, circling the chair Alex was sitting in. "I know you better than you think. I know that you are not innocent. You're looking at me with disgust and hatred, but let's be honest. Even you have blood on your hands. I believe his name as Morrow; the man you killed."

The dark figure bend down until he was at Alex's eye level. "You are as much of a monster than I am."
