Kara came to, upside down and disoriented. After taking a moment to collect herself, she broke the seatbelt restraining her and fell to the... well, roof. Looking around she could see Alex was on her right, but her seatbelt hadn't held her down and she had smashed into the windshield. Quickly breaking her sisters seatbelt as well, she cradled Alex in her arms before kicking down the door and half crawling, half floating out of the ruined car.

It was barely any effort to cradle Alex in her arms and run to the nearest ER, but she tried to look frazzled so people wouldn't be suspicious. Her glasses lenses had been cracked in the crash, but she could vaguely read out Sloan Memorial. Kara didn't know what it meant, but if Hank called she thought it good to know where they were.

The doors opened, and she could see gurneys bringing people around inside. Kara tried to see if Alex was waking up, but her face was so covered in blood she couldn't tell. When she had walked over to the ambulances, the only person still there was a blonde haired woman leaning against a wall.

"Help..." Kara croaked, realizing her voice was probably sore "Please help me...". The woman opened her eyes and shot up, staring at her. "Hello. What's your name?" The blonde asked, stepping closer slowly. "It doesn't matter. I need someone...someone to help my sister. I don't matter. She matters." Kara almost screams, trying to wipe the blood from her sisters face. "Well let us take her..." the woman started but Kara had heard enough "NO! No one. Takes her. I will kill anyone who tries to take her from me."

"We won't take her. You can come with her, be there with her. I'm Meredith. Meredith Grey. Can I take- will you come with me?" Meredith asked, smiling when Kara gave a brief nod. Kara took a step forward, and another, and suddenly they were through the double doors into this big room full of beds, and people. Some, who looked younger, started running forward but Meredith waved them away when Kara growled loudly.

After walking through several hallways with quite a crowd following them, Meredith led them to a room with a bed in the middle and closed the door behind them. "Now how did this happen? And how did you find her?" Meredith asked, pulling some machines over. "Car crash. I was in the passenger seat, my seatbelt held me down... her's didn't." Kara answered, light tears dropping onto Alex's lap below her.

"If you lay her down, I can fix her. You can hold her hand, if you want." Meredith said, laying a sheet on top of the gurney. "Okay. C-can I clean her face? Eliza always she was so beautiful, I think Alex would *hic* she'd like to, to look nice and presentable." Kara whispered, laying Alex down on the bed and brushing stray hairs from her face.

"Okay. Well, this will be a while. Grab a chair." Meredith soothed, stitching a cut on Alex's arm.

2 hours later*

Kara emerged from the room, exhausted, and fully assured that no one could touch Alex while she was gone. Meredith led her into the ER to get checked out, ignoring her protests. Sitting her on a bed, Meredith was grabbing bandages, scalpels, stitches prepared to find her covered in cuts and bruises. She checked everywhere, but Kara wasn't marked at all. "What the hell..." Meredith whispered, grabbing a needle to draw some blood. "No don't-" Kara shouted, but it was too late. The needle had broken against her skin.

"This is just what I needed" Kara grunted, grabbing Meredith and dragging her by the arms to a nearby storage cupboard. "I need to be able to trust you. Can I trust you?" After a brief nod from Meredith, Kara opened her shirt to reveal her super suit. "I'm Supergirl. That's why I'm not hurt."

Meredith just stood there while Kara rebuttoned her shirt, and took of her glasses."Wow these are broken badly. Do you have spare ones, I can't exactly not wear them" Kara asked sheepishly, aware she'd probably just dropped a bomb on this poor woman. "Umm. What. Yeah. Sure" Meredith stuttered, before coughing and continuing "We should probably go check on your sister. She might need surgery."

When they got back to the room, Alex was sitting up and pawing through the clothes around her bed. Kara immediately rushed to her side. "Kara... I need to... call people.. Hank...Eliza... I need t-to call. Where where where where..." Alex said, twitching and wiping her face frantically. "Alex. Alex, stop that." Kara soothed, taking her sisters hands and getting a few wipes. She started softly cleaning the blood from her sisters face, taking care of the places where she had small cuts, until Alex looked like Alex again.

She seemed to take stock of where she was. "I need surgery. My left tibia is definitely broken, and my collarbone feels fractured. Where am I?" Alex asked, leaning against Kara's shoulder. "Something Sloan Memorial. Hospital in Seattle" Kara answered calmly, but she frowned when Alex shot up and started packing her things. "Surgery can wait. I need to get out of here. Now. If Meredith Grey sees me I'm dea-" Alex hissed, looking up to see Meredith standing pale in the corner.

"Hello Meredith" Alex blurted. "Lexie" Meredith replied coldly. "I can explain." Alex said gravely. "I assumed as much" Meredith snorted, looking at a guilty Alex and confused Kara.
