Supergirl is gone

Lena has to lean against the wall to steady herself. She slowly moves towards the couch and sits down. She is in shock for a moment until she realises what just happened. She breaks down.

Crying and sobbing. She was so mad, so angry at Kara for hurting her that way. Lying to her about who she is, even though Kara knew how much it would hurt her. At the same time, she is mad at not seeing it. She should have seen the signs. She wanted so much to believe that someone could be purely good, that she blinded herself to the pain of one of the only true friends she had.

She should have been there for Kara. She should have created an environment where Kara felt save talking to her about those things. All the talks they had, those where almost always about her. Kara was always there to catch her. Even after she dismissed Supergirl as a friend, Kara stayed her friend. She was just as compassionate and kind as always, even though Lena had hurt her by not telling her about Sam, by lying to her about the Kryptonite.

Supergirl still tried so hard to fix their relationship, but Lena would only she her own hurt. She didn't even consider what it did to Supergirl. She always saw the hero and when the hero wasn't a hero anymore she throws her to the wolves like everyone else would.

She never saw the person that was wearing the cape. She only saw the cape and reduced that person to what she thought the cape should be. She was so mean assuming, that Kara did lie to her on purpose, hurt her like that on purpose. She never considered what it must have done to Kara. How hard it must have been for her, having to hide who she is all the time. Never getting to be herself.

Lena spends the rest of the day trying to wrap her mind around what just happen. Trying to accept that one of the worlds greatest heroes just broke in front of her. The once great hero shattered in pieces. The only thing left inside of the hero anger and pain.

Lena isn't surprised when Kara doesn't come into CatCo the next day. Supergirl doesn't show up either. A week pass, a month pass and she doesn't turn up. Lena is glad that she is gone, that way she doesn't have face her guilt and hurt. But slowly the city starts to turn into chaos. The DEO keep calling Lena, looking for Supergirl. They can't locate her heatsignature. They can't find her at home or any the other usually places. They find her suit and her clothes still in her closed. She had let everything just as it was.

The DEO holds off the funeral for Alex until they can find Kara.

After two-month Lena starts to feel even more guilty. Did she break earth hero? Where is she? Why can't anyone find her? National City misses their hero. The speculations start rising, but no one knows what happen apart from Lena, and she keeps it to herself. She needs to find her. She needs to bring her back. Lena hires a private detective and uses all the resources and connections she has until she finally finds a lead in Italy.
