Alliedstasis: Thank you! I don't like Henshaw either
A new chapter with a new prompt will be up tommorow hopefully.
Alex was working in her lab when she was interrupted by a knock on her door.
"Hey Alex." Lena greeted her.
"Hi Lena." Alex said getting up and hugging her.
"So when's Kara getting discharged?" she asked Alex.
"It's been a week and she's driving me crazy about wanting to go home. But if she goes out there she's prone to viruses and bacteria. I'm just worried. But given her nagging she's getting discharged tommorow." she replied.
Lena placed a hand on Alex's shoulder.
" Don't worry Alex. I banned her from coming to Catco or working until she feels better and the risk of catching pathogens passes. "
Alex smiled" Thanks Lena. You know I'm glad Kara has you as a girl best friend as you're mine too. "
Lena blushed" Awh Danvers you getting soft on me. "
Alex rolled her eyes" Let's go see Kara. I promised I would keep her company after I finish from here. " she said.
So Lena and Alex made their way to the medbay until they reached Kara's room. Alex opened the door to find Kara partially sitting up in bed as her bed was angled in a 60 degrees angle and typing away on her laptop.
" Kara Danvers what did I say about not working until you're feeling better?!" Lena demanded.
Kara looked up in an innocent-guilty way "Hi Lena." she said sweetly and innocently.
Lena and Alex put their hands on their hips and glared at her.
"Kara we talked about this." Alex said.
Kara sighed "I just got so bored and I was itching to write an article." she complained.
Lena walked and snatched the laptop from Kara "Not on my watch you're not." she said.
"But.." Kara started to complain.
"No buts Kara. You are not to write a single article until you feel better." Lena said.
"What am I supposed to do while I'm bed resting at home. I can't watch TV all day." Kara asked.
Lena sighed "Alright you can write articles but on one condition. Two actually."
Kara started to sit up, eager but winced and leaned back "Shoot." she said.
"One you don't write anything until you're discharged. Two you take it easy and you write as many articles as you can, no deadlines and don't push yourself too hard. Alex will see to that."
Kara rolled her eyes "Yes boss."
Alex watched the exchange between the two best friends with a smile on her face
"Well I have to get back to the lab. I'll leave you two." Alex said getting up and leaving, glad to see that her sister was in good hands.

"Home sweet home!" Kara cried the other day as she walked in her apartment after being discharged from the medbay.
She was on crutches as not to put weight on her injured leg, and they were the ones were she puts her elbows on the supports to keep them stabilized as not to disturb her wounded and stitched abdomen.
"Kara remember to take it easy. I'm staying with you anyways." Alex told her.
"What Alex no you already stayed with me in the medbay for too long. You need to sleep in your apartment."
Alex stared at her in her are you serious right now look " Do you actually think that I would let my little injured sister stay at her apartment when she knows nothing about handling injuries. Or that she's reckless and could go out behind my back and get sick. Well if you did, you're wrong." she said then helped Kara sit down and put her leg up on the table then took her crutches away.
Kara sighed. Once Alex made up her mind there was no way to make her back down.
" Thanks for taking care of me Lexie. "Kara said as she leaned her head on Alex's shoulder.
Alex smoothed her sister's hair" Hey you're my sister. I would do anything for you. "she told her.
The pair was interrupted by a series of knocks on the door. Alex got up and opened the door revealing Eliza and Jeremiah.
" Alex ! How're you sweetie ?" Eliza said as she and Jeremiah hugged their daughter.
" I'm good. " she said, closing the door.
They made their way to the living room where Kara brightened up when she saw them.
"Mom! Dad!" she cried.
"Hey honey. How're you feeling now??" Elzia said as she sat down next to Kara and hugged her then checked and fussed over her wounds.
"I'm better now thanks to Alex." she told them.
"Well your mother and I are going to stay at your place for the next couple of days until you feel better." Jeremiah told her.
Kara hugged them both and soon they were joined by Alex. They didn't say anything but they were all thinking the same thing.
They were stronger together.
