A/N Okay if you aren't Jaxxx you are welcome to skip this paragraph... Dear Jaxxx, you have made your opinion very clear that you think I am a disgusting, homophobic individual that doesn't care about the LGBTQ community all because of a choice I made while writing a fanfiction... First of all I wasn't aware you knew so much about me? When did we meet... Oh that's right you know absolutely nothing about me. You claim to know I'm straight, what if I'm not? You know it's people like you that make others who know nothing about this community want nothing to do with it. It's a freaking story... I'm not going around throwing the bible in peoples faces telling them they are going to hell because of who they love. You claim you wont support my decision to write Alex/Lexie as straight... I'm sorry when did I ask for your support? I'm not sure if you've ever written something, put your whole heart into a story then put it on the internet for perfect strangers to read and criticize you for simple choice, but in case you haven't I'll tell you it's not an easy thing to do... I made a choice and I stand by it. No one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to read my story so you are welcome to not read it... In fact I would honestly prefer you didn't... Have a great day Jaxxx. (Oh and you might not want to read this chapter since you're so apposed Alex and Mark)

Okay rant over... here is the next chapter for all of you! I kind of love the way it turned out! Leave a review down below telling me what you think!

Chapter 3: Rock and A Hard Place

"Mark…" She whispered. A small smile spread across her face.

Mark could feel tears brimming his eyes. "Lexie."

Alex didn't stay awake much longer but Mark had heard all he needed to hear. This was Lexie, this was his Little Grey.

"I love you," Mark whispered kissing the side of her mouth. "I love you."

Mark quickly cleaned himself up and walked out into the hall. "You're welcome to come back in now."

"How is she doing?" Hank asked. He was still being very wary of the doctor.

"The incisions are looking great." Mark couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Lexie during those five years. She now had a new name, a younger sister, and was participating in Search and Rescue missions with an Alien named Supergirl. "If you need anything, have any questions or when she wakes up please have a nurse page me."

"Thank you doctor."

Mark walked out of the room. He thought he would go straight to Meredith but instead he found himself heading to one of the sleep rooms. He had to think things through. When he got into the room he sat down, then stood up immediately and started pacing the room.

How was this even possible? How had Lexie come back to him? He had seen her die, he was right there when she took her last breath. He held her hand through all of it. He saw her…

Mark just couldn't figure it out. He was a man of science and there was no scientific explanation for this. There wasn't a single way to explain Lexie still being alive.

Mark had spent the last 5 years dating then pushing away every single women he ever thought he was about to start having feelings for because Lexie Grey was the only person he would ever truly love. She had his heart and he would never give it to anyone else. He and Lexie Grey were meant for each other!

An hour Later

Alex slowly opened her eyes. The room was bright and she couldn't focus on anything. But she couldn't help the small smile that spread across her face. She had had a dream and Mark was there. The man she loved still to this day, had been at her bed side and he looked amazing. Thinking about him…hurt, it always hurt because she knew she would never see Mark again, but she also knew she could never be in love with anyone ever again. Not like she was with Mark. Mark Sloan had her heart and there would never be another man that she wanted to have it. Her heart was meant to be Marks, even if he had moved on.

"Alex." Kara rushed up to her sisters bed the second she saw her eyes open.

"Kara." Alex grabbed Kara's hand. She was suddenly very aware of pain, everywhere on her body. She couldn't help the wince that came.

"Are you in pain?" Kara asked, Alex could see the worry written all over her face.

"A little." Alex down played.

"I'll get your doctor." Kara gave Alex's hand a light squeeze before she walked out of the room.

Kara walked up to the nearest nurses station. "Excuse me, can you please page Dr. Sloan for my sister?"

A male nurse looked up, he had been in and out of Alex's room since they put her in there. "Sure."

"Thank you." Kara gave him her usual, contagious smile and headed back to Alex's room.

Mark continued to pace around his room trying to think of any logical explanation for the last hour. He didn't know how it was possible but he did know one thing and it was the only thing that mattered, Lexie was alive.

Just as he was trying to now get his brain wrapped around that fact he got a page, to her room.

Mark instantly ran out of the room and over to the elevator. By the time he was on the floor of her room he decided it would be best to not act like an idiot by running to her room so he just walked as casually, but still quickly, as he could stand.

He tapped on the door before entering.

"Hello, what can I help you with?" Mark asked first looking at Kara and then his eyes fell on her and his heart felt as though it was going to beat out of his chest.

XXsupergreyXX

There was a tap on the door before it opened, the second he walked in Alex couldn't breathe, she couldn't think, she couldn't do anything but stair at him, at Mark.

He said something to Kara but Alex didn't hear a single thing that came out of his mouth. It was taking everything out of her not to just burst into tears the second she saw him.

He said something again but Alex still couldn't make it out. Finally Kara pulled her back into the present.

"Alex? You okay?" Kara asked, Alex broke eye contact with Mark to look at Kara. Kara had a much more worried expression on her face then before.

"Umm." Alex shook her head, trying to clear her mind. "Yeah, I'm good. Sorry what did you say?" She directed the last part to Mark.

"Ms. Danvers, I'm Dr. Mark Sloan. I'm just here to check up on you. How are you feeling?" Mark walked up to her bedside. It killed her to hear him call her Ms. Danvers , she shouldn't be Ms. Danvers to him she should be Lexie.

No get your head on straight Danvers. You are not Lexie you are Alex Danvers. Mark Sloan is nothing but your doctor. Alex told herself.

"I'm feeling a little sore. Like all over but it's my leg that's killing me." Alex explained.

"Yeah a broken femur will feel that way, especially considering you broke it in two places." Sloan explained. "I can get you some pain meds for that. How's your memory? Can you tell me your first name?"

"Alex." Alex stated, she was trying to study Mark's face but he wasn't showing her anything that would be useful. Did he know who she was? Did he even care?

"Who is this beautiful blonde right by your side?" Mark asked writing something on the chart then smiled up at Kara.

"My sister, Kara." Alex answered.

"Alright and this young man over here?" Mark pointed at Hank.

"Hank Henshaw, my boss and friend." Alex was trying to figure out what Mark was doing. These were not questions you ask someone who might have memory loss. They had specific questions and these were not it.

"Very good." Mark wrote a few more things down. "Alright Ms. Danvers we'll get you some pain meds. They'll probably make you a little tiered but that's a good thing. You'll need your rest."

"Umm do you mind if I speak with you, alone for a moment?" Alex asked the question before she even knew what she was saying. Kara gave Alex a questioning look, while Hank gave Alex a look that screamed what the hell are you doing?

"Yeah," Mark nodded his head. "Do you two mind waiting in the hall again?"

Kara gave Alex a quick kiss on her forehead and squeezed her hand. She walked over to the door but Hank didn't follow.

"Alex?" Hank had his judgmental look written all over his face. He feared she was about to compromise herself and he couldn't let that happen.

"Hank it's fine. I'm fine." Alex promised him even though she fully intended on doing exactly that. She had to talk to him, the man she loved was standing right in front of her and she couldn't not do something about it. Plus she trusted Mark and knew that he wouldn't deliberately do anything that would hurt her.

Hank finally sighed in defeat and followed Kara out in the hall.

Mark's entire facial expression changed. He dropped the professional doctor act and walked up to her. He grabbed her hand in his and brought it to his mouth, kissing it gently. "Lexie, how?" His voice was full of emotion, tears beginning to fall from his eyes.

"I'm so sorry Mark." Tears were beginning to fill Alex's eyes as well.

Mark brushed aside the tears that had made their way down his face. "I have so many questions and so much I want to tell you." He stopped and just looked at her. She could tell he was trying to take it all in. "My god you're alive."

Alex opened and closed her mouth several times, trying to figure out what to say to him, how to explain all of it to him. "Mark… kiss me damnit."

That was all she could think to say, she needed to kiss him. She had to and he didn't waist anytime. He bent down and kissed her… That kiss wasn't any ordinary kiss, it felt like coming home.

Mark pulled away, after all she was still recovering from a collapsed lung. "I love you Lex."

"I love you too." Alex had tears streaming down her face.

He bent down and gave her another short kiss. "Wait until Meredith finds out, she's going to be so happy."

"No!" Alex blurted. "Mark you can't tell Mer who I am."

"What are you talking about Lexie, she's your sister." Mark had a confused look on his face.

"Mark, she can't know." Alex hated that she had to do this, she figured she could talk Mark into not saying anything but not Meredith. She couldn't do that to her. Lexie is better off dead to Meredith. "That blonde girl out in the hallway, she needs me to be Alex Danvers. Mark, she needs me to be her sisters and I…I am her sister."

"But you're not Alex Danvers, you're Lexie Grey." Mark was still holding her hand but she could tell he wasn't liking where this conversation was going. "I don't know who this Kara Danvers is but Meredith is your sister, she's your blood."

"Mark, Kara may not be my blood but she's my everything." Alex squeezed her hand. "I love Mer but she has people, she has family. Kara has me, that's it. I'm her only family and I can't lose her."

Mark studied Alex for a moment. "Lexie, I can't lie to her."

"I'm not asking you to lie to her, my name really is Alex Danvers." Alex told him. "I'm only asking you to withhold the fact that I used to be Lexie."

Mark sat in the chair by the bed, he could tell that what she was saying was important to her. He could tell Kara was important to her, but what about her own blood? "I don't know if I can keep this from her."

"I know it'll be hard and I know what I'm asking of you isn't fair but Mark you can't tell her. If you tell her, I will lose Kara and I can't." Alex stated. "I'm asking you if you really do love me, if you really do want me back in your life, you don't tell Meredith Grey that her sister's alive."

Mark put his head in his hands. He felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he told Meredith the truth Lexie would never forgive him, and if he didn't he would be keeping the biggest piece of information from his best friends wife, the love of his life's sister. "Lex, I'm going to need time to think this over."

"I know. Take the time you need." Alex put Marks hand to her mouth and kissed it. "Take your time."

"I'm glad you're back Lex." Mark smiled at her. "I really missed you."

Once Hank and Kara got out into the hall and the door closed Hank turned to Kara. "Use your hearing, I want to knw what's being said."

Kara gave Hank a shocked look. "I can't do that. No, I wont do that."

"Kara, that man in there's name is Mark Sloan. He and your sister were in love back when she was Lexie." Hank whispered all of that. "I need to know what's being said."

Kara just shook her head, she wouldn't invade her sisters privacy like that. But for some reason she found herself staring to concentrate on the room.

"Lexie how?" Mark asked, she could hear the emotion in his voice.

"I'm so sorry Mark." Alex's voice matched the same emotional level as Marks.

Kara felt sick that she was doing this. It wasn't her business, if Alex wanted her to know she would tell her. But still, she listened anyway.

"I have so many questions and so much I want to tell you." Mark took a breath. "My god you're alive."

There was a pause in the conversation, Kara could tell Alex was trying to think of something to say. "Mark…kiss me damnit."

In that moment Kara knew she needed to stop listening. She trusted Alex knew what she was doing.

"Did you listen?" Hank asked watching her carefully.

"No." Kara, for probably the first time in her life, convincingly lied. "No I didn't. I told you I wouldn't."

"Kara I need to know what's happening in there!" Hank growled.

"No you don't!" Kara snapped right back. "I trust my sister, why don't you?"

"I trust Alex, I just don't trust Sloan." Hank glared.

"Well if Alex was in love with him then that means she trust him and that's good enough for me." Kara stated. She knew Hank meant well but she trust Alex to do the right thing.

Kara knew that it had been extremely hard for Alex to leave her life as Lexie Grey behind. She knew that Alex has given up so much to be in her life and there wasn't a day that went by that Kara wasn't grateful for the fact that she had Alex.

When it had been about a year since Alex was introduced into Kara's life they had their first massive fight and Alex and threatened that she would go back to being Lexie Grey. It had broken Kara's heart because since the moment she met Alex she finally felt like she had someone that she could think of as family again. Everything had eventually cooled down and they talked about everything, that was the first time Kara had really learned anything about who Alex used to be. She knew her name was Lexie Grey and that she was a doctor but she had no idea just how difficult everything had been on her. After that day Kara promised herself she would trust Alex's judgment. The only other time they fought was the night Kara revealed herself. Kara now knew that Alex had feared that she would lose Kara. So now she knew that Alex wouldn't do anything that could potentially ruin their relationship. They had both fought to hard to keep each other for them to just be torn apart.

Kara trusted her sister.

Mark had left Lexie's room shortly after he told her he would need time to think about it. He knew he needed to avoid Meredith and Derek while he thought everything through. So he figured what better way to distract himself then in a surgery.

"Hey you got any surgeries I can take?" Mark asked walked up to Webber.

"I figured you want to be around that women who may or may not be Lexie." Richard studied Mark for a moment.

"I just need to work." Mark stated. "You got anything for me?"

Webber continued to study Mark, trying to figure out what was going on with him. But then he decided he would be better off just letting him work. "Yeah here. "He handed a chart to Mark. "Broken cheek bone and jaw on the left side. She's scheduled to go to OR 3."

"Thanks man." Mark patted the old chief on the back and left.

XXsupergreyXX

Mark walked out of the OR feeling good. He still wasn't sure what he was going to do about Meredith but his mind was cleared and he had finally accepted the fact that Lexie was alive. Just as he was about to head to the elevator to go see her, Derek walked around the corner.

"Mark." Derek walked up to his friend. "What's going on? No one's seen you in hours."

"I know. I had a surgery." Mark explained.

"Well Meredith is going crazy." Derek and Mark both entered the elevator, Sheppard pushed the bottom that would lead to the doctor's lounge.

I guess I need to decide now. Mark thought to himself and he made his choice on what to do, there in that elevator.

By the time they walked into the room where everyone was still sitting, almost as if no one had left, Mark felt good about his decision.

"Is it her? Mark is that my sister?" Meredith jumped up from where she was sitting.

Mark looked Meredith straight in the eyes. "She's…"
