A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! A special thanks to TheLongWayHome!

I was slightly inspired by this weeks episode on writing this chapter! Still trying to get over the episode and all the feels.

Enjoy :)

"KARA, WATCH OUT!" Alex's voiced bellowed as she sprinted towards Kara across the pavement, running as fast as she could to get to her sister in time. Her heart was beating out of her chest watching the events folding out in front of her, all her focus on Kara.

Kara could barely make out the sound of her sisters voice shouting her name, as she felt like time had slowed down for her. She stood frozen in the road unable to move her feet from the position she was fixated too, her mind going completely blank from fear.

She closed her eyes tightly in anticipation waiting for the car to impact her, her tiny fists clenching as she heard the screeching brakes of the car. She was prepared for the worse.

Everything ended up as a blur to her as felt her body being swept into a pair of strong arms being dragged out of the way of the car.

She looked up to see her saviour was none other than her elder sister. Her vision however became slightly disorientated from the impact of the ground hitting her head as she and Alex tumbled to the pavement in a heap.

The driver of the car got out of his car immediately once he came to halt, sprinting towards both Kara and Alex to see if they were okay.

"Are you okay, Kara?" Alex asked in a worried voice as she looked down at the girl in her arms, not yet realising the damage to her sister's head.

"Hmmm" Was the mumble she got from Kara, who was still in a bewildered state of mind. The DEO agent didn't feel very reassured from the alien's response.

Alex urgently checked Kara's stab wound from the red kryptonite incident to see if it had reopened, relief washed over Alex's face as she realised it hadn't.

She perched her sister's small frame on the step beside them, so she could confront the driver.

The male driver strode over to Alex "I'm s-o-o sorry Miss, I didn't see her crossing the road" He said in a jittery voice, looking into intense brown eyes.

Alex however was fuming this man could've killed her younger sister, if she hadn't of interfered at the time she did. All anger took over Alex as she approached the shaking man fury shining within her eyes.

"Do you have any idea, how close you were to killing my sister?" Alex picked the guy up by the collar ready to punch him, all her self-control training as a DEO agent going out the window.

The guy had a petrified look on his face flinching at the fist "S-h-he came o-u-ut of nowhere, I'm sorry"

Kara could barely keep her eyes open as she spoke "Alex…"

Alex turned around to face her sister still holding the man firmly in her grip, Alex gave her younger sister the death stare.

"Kara, not now" She replied menacingly to her sister, not able to control her emotions any longer.

"Alex" Kara swayed as she tried to stand up "I don't feel too good"

At this Alex dropped the man, as he scrambled to this feet still scared for his life.

"Get out of my sight, before I do something I'll regret" She hissed at the driver.

Alex turned her attention to the younger girl once again, realising that Kara looked rather pale and unsteady.

"Easy, Kara" She picked the little alien into her arms, carrying the exhausted girl.

She positioned Kara into a comfortable position, placing her hands on the back of her sisters' head.

She was met with the sight of blood on her hands, and she realised Kara must have banged her head on the ground when they both hit the pavement.

Panic soon overtook her as she tried to keep her sister awake

"Kara, I need you to stay awake for me can you do that?" She tilted Kara's head up gently trying not to aggravate her injury.

The blonde drowsily opened her eyes "I'm…not…sure…I… can…Alex" Every breath Kara took felt like effort.

"Come one…..think about how many sticky buns you can eat"

A smile graced Kara's delicate features "I…do…like…Sticky…Buns" Alex couldn't help but smile at her sisters words, a lone tear ran down her face.

She immediately got her phone out as she dialled the number, she always called in an emergency.

"Hank, I need back up right now!"

Alex looked intently at the glass window of the room her sister was being monitored in, she felt a sense of Deja-vu plagued her mind. She had Kara taken to the DEO where they could monitor and heal her sister. She couldn't help but replay the events in her head, one minute her sister was joking around with her and the next she was nearly killed by a car. Alex shook the thoughts from her mind not wanting to remember what had happened.

"Damn it" She burst angrily "Why couldn't I protect her?" She asked rhetorically, currently venting to Hank watching her sister being hooked up to machines.

Hank stepped forward placing a comforting hand on Alex's Shoulder, as the woman's head dropped in defeat "Alex, this is not your fault" He said in his deep commanding voice.

"Yes it is!" A single tear rolled down Alex's face "I'm her big sister, I meant to protect her from any harm!"

"You saved her life, Alex" The DEO chief used her name on a rare occasion "If it wasn't for you, Kara would not be here right now"

Alex bit her lip "It was my fault that she ran into the road in the first place, if I didn't scold her this never would've happened"

"That is enough! It was an accident" Hanks voice rose a few notches.

"I promised I would protect her" The DEO agent eyes reflected pure despair as tears cascaded down her face "I promised her when she got attacked last time, that I would protect no matter what the cost" She hated crying in front of anyone, but right now she needed to let out her frustrations.

Hank looked at the torment in Alex's eyes, it pained him to see her like this. He viewed Alex and Kara like the daughter's he never got the chance to be a father to and he felt lucky that he could have a second chance with both Alex and Kara in his life.

Hank let out a deep sigh "You're only human, Alex"

Alex let a humourless laugh "That's the problem isn't it, I'm only human" The Martian could sense the bitterness in her voice.

"You know I didn't mean it like that" Hank stated "We can't protect everyone, even if we really want to" He fell quiet for a few seconds, thinking about his home planet and the family he lost to the white Martians.

"You might not acknowledge it but Kara looks up to you as her hero, she thinks the world of you. I've never seen Kara look at anyone the way she looks at you"

Alex was silent for a few moments taking in Hanks words. She never thought Kara looked up to her as hero, sure she knew Kara viewed her a role model and her big sister. But it never actually occurred to Alex that Kara viewed her as a hero.

The woman calmed down slightly "You know I thought she was going to be safer like this" Alex admitted guiltily "I thought losing her powers again and turning into a child, would've made her have little break from the whole superhero business and take her mind off work"

Hank understood where Alex was coming from, Kara was such a free spirited and in the moment person. Nothing could stop her when she had her mind set on something.

"I just feel like, I've failed her"

Hank shook his head in disagreement "You have failed no one, Agent Danvers"

The two were interrupted by one of the DEO doctors.

Alex wiped her puffy eyes "Why isn't she waking up?" She asked in a broken voice.

"How is she, Dr Smith?" Hank asked in a concerned voice, placing both his hands on hips.

"She's...doing better" The doctor hesitated "But..." She drawled off.

"But?"

"She might have some psychological damage"

"What do you mean psychological damage?" Alex queried.

"We're not quite sure yet, but the impact of the concrete impacting her head was quite intense, Agent Danvers" The doctor continued "We'll have to wait until she wakes up to see the full diagnoses"

"Do you know when she will wake up?" Alex's voice was quiet and hard to read.

"In an hour or two we hope" Doctor Smith looked at the elder Danver with sympathy "We do however have some good news, she should regain her powers in the coming days. But in the mean time we hope she'll pull through for us soon"

Alex nodded her head in acknowledgement "How about the traces of red kryptonite still in her system?"

"She still has the same measure of red kryptonite within her blood stream that we are aware off, however this shouldn't affect her head injury in a anyway" The female doctor finished.

"Thank you, Dr Smith" Hank dismissed his colleague, turning to the quiet browned hair woman beside him "She's in good hands, Agent Danvers"

Alex once again turned to the to the glass window looking at how small her sister looked on the hospital like bed "I know"

"Why don't you go home, get a change of clothes. I'll keep an eye on Kara while you're gone" Hank suggested worried for his agent.

Alex looked at him with sad eyes "I'm staying here with her..." She made her way into Kara's room, positioning herself beside her little sister wrapping a protective arm around the comatose girl.

All Hank could do was pray for a miracle, as he looked through the glass window at the two sisters.
