Waking Up Is Hard To Do
Chapter 8
Kara wakes up groggy, looking around the room wondering where she was. Clearing her head she realizes the shooting wasn't a dream and that she is in fact at the DEO. Trying to get up she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"Kara, stay still you might reinjure yourself." Cat said calmly trying not to upset Kara.
Cat wasn't sure how Kara would react to her being in her room since the last time they saw each other Cat was horrible to her.
"Cat?" Kara asks as she blinks her eyes a few times.
"Hi, yes it's me. If... If you want me to, I can leave." Cat replies and begins to stand up.
"No! No please don't leave." Kara pleads.
"Are you sure? I wasn't sure how you would receive me after everything I put you through at Catco." Cat says softly as she wrings her hands together.
"I'm sure, Cat. I'm not in the best shape right now and I know we need to talk about everything but can we wait on that? Can we just forget all of that and ... and can you just sit with me?" Kara asks knowing that Cat is beating herself up on all the things that were said and done before she resigned from Catco.
"Oh Kara, I'm so sorry, I know I don't deserve forgiveness but I am so very..." Cat starts but is stopped by Kara.
"Cat, after the last couple of weeks I've had, all of that petty stuff seems like nothing now." Kara continues. "So, if it's okay with you, I would like you to stay with me and maybe in a little while we can talk, really talk about our feelings for each other."
"Our...feelings? You mean that you care for me too?" Cat asks taken aback at Kara's confession.
Smiling, Kara says "For some time now, and we'll talk just not right now, is that all right?"
Returning the infectious smile of Kara's, Cat replies "Of course, Kara we can most certainly do that."
Kara gently reaches over, takes Cat's hand, and brings her closer to the bed, "Please sit with me. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too, Kara, so very much." Cat replies holding Kara's hand.
Lucy is on her way to see Kara as Dr. Jules comes out of the OR to update Lucy on the Agent's prognosis. "It was touch and go there for a while but she's a fighter. There was bleeding in the abdomen and the diaphragm was perforated. The second bullet entered her left side and lodged into the tissue of her left lung."
"Is she going to be okay?" Lucy asks concerned thinking all of that sounds very serious.
"Yes, her prognosis is good, the main issue for her is an infection later on, but we're keeping a close eye on that. She had some contamination of the abdominal cavity and because of that; she could develop an abscess in her abdomen. There was also some contamination in her diaphragm as well so again, infection is the major risk for her." The doctor explained.
"She is a lucky woman; she got here just in time." Dr. Jules remarked.
"She was lucky to have you as her doctor as well, Aiden." Lucy replies knowing the DEO is lucky to have the medical team they do or they wouldn't have as many agents.
Chuckling, Dr. Aiden Jules shakes his head, "It's been a long time since I've had to deal with something that serious, it brought me back to my intern days." the doctor says looking back to the operating room door, "I hope I never have to deal with something like that anytime soon." And with that, he went back to the OR to check on his patient.
Knowing how eager Kara was to learn about Darcy's condition, Lucy continued on to her room. Not bothering to knock, thinking Kara was still asleep, Lucy was blown away with the scene in front of her, Cat and Kara hot and heavy, making out. Not wanting to interrupt, Lucy tries to quietly back her way out of the room when she hears Cat say, "We know you saw us; please, do come in Director Lane."
Smiling, Lucy stops and turns to close the door, "I'm sorry for not knocking, I won't forget the next time."
"Good to know." Cat quips. "Now was there something you wanted?"
"Yes, sorry, um Kara, Dr. Jules just came out to update me on Agent Jordan,"Lucy confirms then informs the ladies what the doctor had told her. "So it looks like she's going to be okay in a few days."
"Oh thank Rao, I thought... I thought she was going to die. When can I see her?" Kara asks as she tries to get up.
"Whoa there Kara, you're staying put until your doc gives you the okay, all right?" Lucy admonishes.
"But Luce, I need to see her, I need to see that she's okay, it's because of me that she was shot, I need to see her. Please." Kara all but begs.
With a heavy sigh, knowing that she can't say no to Kara, Lucy looks to Cat for a little help.
"Kara, let your friend..."
"Darcy." Kara answers the unasked question.
"Thank you. Let your friend Darcy recover, she just had surgery and you yourself suffered another trauma to your injuries by reopening them. No one is going anywhere, give yourselves both some time and you can see her in a little while." Cat tries to appease Kara.
"That's right, Kara, Darcy is sleeping and is in recovery. The doc wouldn't let you in anyway. Give it a little time and you can see her in a while." Lucy agrees.
"Fine, I'll wait. But I won't wait long. I just want to see her." Kara says giving in. Realizing now just how trying to get up hurt more than it should have.
"You will Darling, you will." Cat replies as she brushes the fallen strands of hair behind Kara's ear.
"Okay, well I should get going. I need to fill out way too many reports after all of this." Lucy says as she turns towards the door. "I'll uhhh just leave you two, to it." Lucy says as she leaves the room with a knowing smirk.
Alex is sitting up on her bunk with her arms around her knees when she hears a light knocking on the door as it slowly opens. "Knock, knock Sunshine." Eliza says as she peaks around the door to see Alex.
"Hey Mom," Alex replies with a monotone voice.
"Hey Sweetie, how are you feeling?" Eliza asks as she sits besides Alex on the bed.
"How do you think I'm doing, Mom? I shot an agent and she might die." Alex replies angrily.
"She's not going to die, Alex. I was just updated on her condition and she's going to be all right in a few days." Eliza informs Alex as she puts her hand on her knee giving it a squeeze.
"I'm glad, I really am, but it doesn't change the fact that I shot her in the first place." Alex counters.
"Honey, from what I've heard, it might go as a good shoot. Is that how they put it?" Eliza asks.
"What? A good shoot? Who said that? How can they say that?" Alex all but yells as she jumps off the bed almost knocking her mother off with her.
"How can they say that was a good shoot?" Alex continues to ask as she paces her room.
"Alex, please calm down. I just overheard some agents speaking that's all." Eliza says.
Just as Alex was about to argue the door opens with Lucy and another agent.
"Hey, what's going on I heard raised voices?" Lucy questions as she steps further into the room.
"Mom just said that my shooting the agent was going down as a good shoot. Is that true, Director?" Alex questions standing within Lucy's personal space.
Lucy can see how upset Alex is and as wound tight as she is right now the wrong answer may cause some trouble.
"You know that I cannot discuss this with you Ms. Danvers and Dr. Danvers should know that she shouldn't have been listening or repeat things she is not sure of." Lucy conveys in her best commanders voice.
"You are not allowed visitors and it is because of my goodwill that your mother is allowed in here at all." Lucy adds, upset that Eliza would tell Alex about the investigation.
"You are not in custody for the shooting alone, Alex you have other charges to be accounted for and you know that." Lucy advises.
"I'm, I'm sorry Lucy, I didn't realize I was doing something wrong by telling Alex what I heard." Eliza says regretting telling Alex anything.
"Yes, well I think it best that you cut your visit short, Dr. Danvers. Agent Davis, please escort Dr. Danvers back to her quarters." Lucy orders.
"Yes Ma'am," Agent Davis replies as he shows Eliza to the door then down the hall.
Closing the door, Lucy has her back to Alex; she lets out a huge sigh and lets her shoulders slump, not showing the fierceness from before.
"Alex, I'm sorry I was so short but some agents here believe you are a danger to society and should be taken to Cadmus; Davis is one of them. I had to say those things, I'm sorry." Lucy says quietly as she turns back towards Alex.
Alex sighs herself wondering what had happened but now realizes that Lucy is still on her side and her friend. "Thank God, I thought... I didn't know what to think to be honest."
"Have you heard from J'onn?" Alex asks hopeful.
"No not since the cabin." Lucy replies sadly.
"It's for the best, if he was around he could be captured and well at least he's still out there." Alex says as she sits back down on her bed.
"Kara is feeling better, she still has a lot of healing to do, but she's better." Lucy tells Alex hoping that would cheer her up.
"That's good, that's really good." Alex replies. "I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that she didn't ask for me?"
"Well, when I interrupted her and Cat making out, Kara didn't have a lot to say." Lucy says with a laugh.
"Oh my God, really, they finally... talked?" Alex said with a smile. "It took them long enough."
Laughing a little, Lucy agrees then becomes serious. "Look, Alex, I know you feel terrible about Agent Jordan but your mom heard correctly. The final judgement will come when Darcy makes her statement."
"It will never be a good shoot to me, Lucy, never." Alex reaffirms. "I'll never forget how Kara looked at me." Shaking her head, she lays back onto her pillow. "She hates me and she will never forgive me and I can't forgive myself."
"Hey, give it time, give her time." Lucy consoles. "She was in shock and injured and in pain. She's getting better and she's calmer." Looking down at Alex, Lucy bites her lip, "She uhh actually blames herself for the shooting."
Sitting up quickly, Alex questions, "What, why? How did she come up with that?"
"I can't tell you right now, it's part of her statement and one of the reasons as to why it may go down as a good shoot." Lucy reveals.
"Dammit, she's probably worrying herself over it too." Alex responds quietly knowing how Kara will bear the guilt which will probably impede her recovery.
"I've spoken with her so has your mom and she's got Cat, she'll be okay." Lucy says hoping it will comfort Alex so she won't worry too much about her sister.
Lucy knows it won't be long before her father or another representative comes to take Alex to Cadmus. And they need a plan so that doesn't happen.
It was evening before Cat finally allowed an agent to escort her home. She didn't want to leave Kara but she did need to get home to Carter.
Kara had called Carter to let him know that she was all right and that she missed him. He chatted nonstop for most of the call. Kara, while laughing at his antics, realizes how much she adored this kid. Kara learned that Cat was going to apologize and make up for all that had happened between them and that Carter knew they were "into each other" which made Kara snort and Cat roll her eyes.
It's close to midnight when Kara awoke from her nap. After Lucy left the two earlier, they did continue what had been so rudely interrupted. Kara smiles thinking how great a kisser Cat is and that she never wants to stop kissing her and holding her. They did have a small talk but there was a lot more they had to work through but Kara has faith that it will work out.
It was great being with Cat and chatting with Carter and talking with her mother but Kara still needed to see Darcy, she had to see for herself that she was okay. Seeing that things were quiet this late at night, Kara slowly and gently sat up and got up off the bed.
Still hooked up to an IV full of antibiotics, Kara carefully pulled the drip stand with her as she exited her room to find Darcy's.
Kara stops short then leans against a wall when she hears voices coming near her. Thankfully, they head down another hall and miss Kara all together. Continuing down another hallway she finally finds Darcy's room.
Gingerly, she opens the door and Kara gasps when she sees Darcy hooked up to a lot of machines. Most of which Kara had no idea what they were for but she did see the one monitoring her heartbeat and there was a tube in her mouth helping her to breathe.
Seeing Darcy like this was too much for Kara and she begins to feel dizzy but catches herself by leaning on Darcy's bed enough to get her to a chair. Slowly sitting down Kara closes her eyes and takes in deep breaths, all she needed to do was to faint and be found on the floor, Lucy would kill her.
Once she feels better, Kara finally takes in Darcy lying in bed. If it weren't for the breathing tube, she would look as if she were only sleeping. It's hard to believe all of this happened less than a few hours ago.
Tears run down Kara's face seeing the strong, silly agent now looking weak and pale. "I'm sorry, Darcy." Kara whispers. "This is all my fault. If I had just listened you wouldn't have been shot."
She draws her chair closer to the bed and takes Darcy's hand in hers, "I'm so, so sorry."
It's about 2 a.m. when Nurse Lily Marshall finds Kara asleep sitting in a chair next to the FBI agent's bed. Shaking her head, she was warned that she may find Kara in there at some point during the night. She goes over to check the agent's vitals and change the IV bag before checking the monitors.
As Nurse Marshall records the vitals on her tablet, she notices the agent's heart rate slightly increasing. Looking over she can see the agent's head move slightly and some fluttering of the eye lids. Smiling, Nurse Marshall walks over to Kara and gently nudges her trying to wake her up.
"Kara, hey wake up Supergirl." Lily speaks into Kara's ear.
Jerking her head, Kara opens her eyes and looks around. Not remembering where she is until she hears the monitors beeping she knows she's in Darcy's room.
Seeing Nurse Marshall, Kara blushes knowing she was caught but then she hears what seems like a groan coming from Darcy.
"I do believe our patient is stirring." Nurse Marshall explains to Kara who is now more alert.
"She was heavily sedated but it's wearing off and she's slowly waking up." Lily tells her.
"Why are you doing that?" Kara asks concerned as she sees Lily placing restraints around Darcy's wrists.
"When she wakes up she most likely will be disoriented and will not want that breathing tube in her mouth and she may try and take it out. This wrapping will help prevent that as well as talking to her which is what I want you to help with."
"Okay, I can do that." Kara responds looking at Darcy willing her to wake up.
"Just talk to her and keep her calm, I'm going to get another nurse to assist me." Lily explains then leaves the room.
"Hey Agent Doc, it's me Miss Kara, kiddo." Kara starts listing the names Darcy would call her.
"I know things may seem groggy but you're okay and I'm right here. The doctor did a great job and you're going to be okay, Darcy. Just wake up please."
Darcy's head begins to move a little more and her eyelids are fluttering open. A small groan could be heard which brought a huge smile on Kara's face. "That's it Darcy, wake up. You're okay; you're going to be okay."
Nurses Marshall and Parker enter the room and recheck the monitors and vitals. Then watching as Darcy opens her eyes.
"Well hello there Agent Jordan, nice of you to join us." Nurse Marshall greets Darcy with a smile. Then patting her hand she continues, "You have an endotracheal tube to help you breathe. It needs to stay in so please don't try and pull it out. Do you understand?"
Darcy is blinking rapidly and slightly shaking her head trying to wake up from this weird dream that she thinks she's having.
"Hey Darcy, it's me, Kara. Do you remember me?" Kara can see Darcy is confused with the nurse so she tries to get Darcy to focus on her.
Turning her head towards the familiar voice, Darcy tries to talk when she sees Kara.
"Hey, no you can't talk with that breathing tube, just relax. Umm blink once for yes, two for no?" Kara asks trying to think of a way to communicate. "Umm yeah is that okay?"
Blinking once, Darcy tells her yes she can do that. Then looking down at her wrists she sees that's she constrained and doesn't like it and starts to pull away. Hearing Darcy's heart monitor increase and the frown on her face, Kara asks the nurses to take off the restraints.
The nurse confirms with Darcy that she will not try to remove the tube if they remove the wrappings. With Darcy blinking once, they remove the bindings and Darcy's heart rate goes back to normal.
It can easily be seen by the nurse that Darcy is in pain so once everything was settled, the nurse explains to Darcy that she has a PCA (Patient controlled Analgesia) pump and to just press the button to administer the pain medication.
Darcy blinks once conveying that she understands. This isn't her first time with a PCA or a breathing tube. Then turning back towards Kara, she's wanting to ask what happened and if Kara was okay.
"You should get your rest, Nurse Parker said that when the doctor arrives in the morning they'll take the tube out if your breathing continues to improve, and then we can talk." Kara explains seeing that Darcy is in pain but is fighting it.
"Press the button, I'll stay until you fall asleep, then I should get back to my room before I get into more trouble." Kara says jokingly but knowing she'll get her ass kicked when Lucy and Cat find out.
Darcy blinks twice for no but then concedes after the glare Kara gives her. She had seen a lot of those for the past week or so. So with a blink of yes she pushes the button for her medication and quickly falls asleep.
The next morning, Kara is awakened by loud voices in the hallway. Slowly getting up she goes to the door and can hear Lucy and General Lane arguing about Alex. Kara slinks back to her bed realizing she hasn't even thought about Alex since she arrived here. Who does that? Alex her sister, her best friend, and who shot Darcy.
Eliza had told her that Alex surrendered herself but Kara was in no state at the time to comment or think about the consequences Alex now faces because of it.
"I need to see Alex!" Kara says aloud "I'm a terrible sister, she needed me, and I walked away from her."
No longer hearing Lucy and the General arguing, Kara takes her IV pole and walks out the door to go find Alex.
"Ahem and where do you think you're going, young lady?" Kara's doctor, Dr. Gibson stands behind her with a tablet in her hand the other hand on her hip.
Turning around slowly with the sweetest smile Kara can muster, all ready to tell a lie when Dr. Gibson says, "Save it, get back in your room I've come to check on your stitches." then gives Kara the 'don't mess with me' look.
With a gulp loud enough for the doctor to hear, Kara turns then heads back into her room.
Lucy enters her office and slams the door shut then kicks a chair over loud enough to be heard in the command centre, enough that Vasquez runs in the room. "ARRRGHHHH that man!"
"Luce. Uh Director, are you all right?" Susan asks as she picks up the chair.
"YES! No, no I'm not, Sus." Lucy confides, "The General wants Alex taken to Cadmus today. I don't even know how he knew she was here already." Lucy says as she paces. "Dammit!"
"Well I'm sure one of his cronies here divulged it when she was brought in." Vasquez deduces wishing she knew who it was who disliked Alex so much.
"I know it's hard to talk to her or to anyone about her that I can trust. You're the only one I can trust. I'm not even sure about Thompson and Sawyer anymore." Lucy says looking perplexed.
"You're right; you can trust me, Luce. And I'll help in any way I can." Vasquez comforts Lucy giving her shoulder a light squeeze. "We need a plan to get Alex out of here; I don't think hijacking the transport and allowing her to get away by bike will work this time."
"You, you knew about that?" Lucy asks shocked that Vasquez knew that she and Kara helped J'onn and Alex escape the last time.
Chuckling, Vasquez answers, "Of course I did, Luce. I know you, I know Kara, and there was no way you were going to let them take Alex and J'onn to Cadmus. You didn't then and we're not going to this time either, I'm with you."
"Thank you Sus, thank you. We're going to need all the help we can get though. I'm not sure how we can pull this one off." Lucy explains as she continues pacing her office.
"Maybe I can help you." Kal-El replies as he walks through the door, then points to his ears. "I still have my super hearing abilities."
"Kal!" Lucy bursts out then runs to give him a huge hug.
"NOOOOOOO!"
"You just don't understand so stop trying to because you have no idea what I'm feeling, or what I've lost!"
"KARA! What the hell?"
"Christ, Kara just calm down and take it easy!"
"Someone is out there. Stay put. Kara I said stop!"
Waking with a jolt, Darcy tries to sit up but is in too much pain. Pain, why is she in pain. The cabin, this isn't the cabin, what the hell is this place? Hospital? Or...shit no!
While trying to gather her thoughts a woman walks in and smiles then goes and checks the machines.
"Good morning, or well it's almost afternoon now. How are you feeling, Agent Jordan?" Nurse Graham who just came back on shift types in the vitals she just read.
"Ahhh..ahem I...I..." Darcy tries to reply but can't talk.
"Oh hey now, the endotracheal tube was taken out earlier when you were still asleep. It may be a little while before you can talk. Here, drink a little bit of water, I'll see about some ice chips. Just hold on until I get back." Nurse Graham explains then quickly leaves the room.
"Sh...iit!" Darcy tries to say.
"Here you go, Agent Jordan, try these ice chips it will help." Nurse Graham urges Darcy to take the cup.
"Th...tha...nks" Darcy replies then takes a few ice chip into her mouth.
"Wh...ere?" Darcy asks.
"Where are you? Well you were shot up on Mount Higgins and you were brought here with... "Nurse Graham stops not sure if she should say Supergirl or Kara knowing of the secret identity.
"Ka...ra Ok...ay?" Darcy again tries to talk, wanting to know what happened to Kara.
"Yes, Kara is doing well, she opened her wound a little, but she's resting down the hall." Nurse Graham explains. "I hear she snuck out of her room to come and see you last night. Do you remember that?"
Shaking her head no, Darcy tries to think back but the last thing she remembers is pulling Kara back away from door and screaming, so much screaming.
"Sh...ee's ok?" Darcy asks again wondering about the screams.
"Yes she is and I'm sure she'll be back to visit but properly and not sneaking around." Nurse Graham says laughing softly.
Smiling knowing Kara, Darcy can see her sneaking around this ... where is this again.
"Wh... ere heere?" Darcy asks again hoping the nurse will tell her where they are. "Hos..hospital?"
"Well this is the medical division but it's not a hospital, we are a government agency not unlike the FBI but a little different. Nothing to worry about Agent Jordan, you're in good hands here." Nurse Graham replies. "I'm going to let the doctor know you are awake and very alert. The Director will want to chat with you as well. I'll be right back!"
"I can't, we can't ask that of you Kal, it's not a great plan, and they'll be after you if you tried that!" Lucy tries to convince Kal-El to not just break Alex out of here full tilt through walls.
"But what else can we do, Lucy? The General will have her transported out today and you know it. How are you going to stop him?" Kal argues knowing Lucy is right but he's all out of ideas.
Walking back to her desk running both hands through her hair, Lucy is exhausted she's been up for 48 hours now and doesn't see sleep or rest in her near future.
"I don't know how, but I have to, she can't go there, Kal. She'll never leave, or if she does she won't be Alex anymore."
A knock at the door interrupts Lucy's next thought, "Yes come in."
"Director, Superman, sorry for the interruption, but I thought you would like to know that Agent Jordan is awake and alert and wants to "get out of here"." Nurse Graham shows the quote fingers as she reports to the director.
"I'm sure she does, thanks Beth, I should go and meet Agent Jordan and debrief her." Walking towards the door, Lucy turns back towards Kal, "Get some rest and we'll talk later okay?" Then she and Beth walk towards the medical wing.
Unsure of the predicament that Lucy has herself in, Kal knows they need more help and he also knows who that person is that can help them.
Checking in on Kara one more time, Kal leaves the DEO to enlist a co-conspirator to help them get Alex out of the DEO, away from the General and keep her from going to Cadmus.
Lightly knocking on the door, Lucy opens it then walks in quietly in case Agent Jordan was asleep.
"It's all right, I'm awake." Darcy speaks quietly with a slight croak to her voice.
"Hi, it's good to see you awake and talking. My name is Lucy Lane and I am the Acting Director here."
"Well talking seems to be new to me, my throat is a little sore but otherwise I can give my statement, it's why you're here, correct?" Darcy asks though knowing all too well what Lucy is here for.
"You are correct, Agent Jordan I need a statement about the shooting and debriefing about your time with Supergirl." Lucy continues knowing there is no need to beat around the bush with this agent.
"Please, call me Darcy. And sure, I'm ready to make my statement, Director. Shall I just start or would you like to ask questions as we go?"
"Why don't you just start and I'll stop you if I have any questions." Lucy replies as she places a recorder on the table, then sits on the chair next to the bed with her tablet.
Taking another drink of water Darcy begins, "Well, it was an up and down day for Kara. She was fed up with being injured, she had a long walk to the river, and back which made her tired and grumpy."
"We were getting our dinner ready when Kara cut herself peeling potatoes and got upset and threw the knife which went right out the door. I was shocked and pissed and I yelled at her." Darcy recalls shaking her head. "She's got a temper that one but I'm sure you know that."
Lucy smiles and nods but doesn't want to interrupt the agent. So far, what she is describing matches with Kara's statement.
"We argued a bit, I wanted her to calm down but she was pissed without her powers. I tried to placate her and remind her of her injuries. She turned quickly or something like that and it must have pulled her stitches because she grabbed her stomach in pain." Darcy stops and rethinks what she has said.
"Is something wrong, Darcy?" Lucy questions wondering why the agent stopped, she seemed to be going along well.
"Umm no, I...just. Thinking back and recalling it, I have to stop and think how the shooter would see it. There are windows on either side of the doorway. They might have thought I had hurt her."
"Well why don't you tell me what you remember and we'll take it from there, all right?" Lucy knows what the agent is thinking and is glad because this will help it go as a good shoot.
"Um yeah sure, I'm sorry about that." Darcy looks at Lucy frowning now wondering who it was that shot her.
"Uhh yeah arguing, hurt stomach, and I heard something outside. It sounded like someone was running. I told Kara to be quiet and then to stay inside. I went to grab my gun when I saw out of my peripheral that Kara was making her way outside."
I yelled to Kara and then I grabbed her arm and was trying to pull her back when I saw someone, I think I raised my gun but he/she shot first. I don't remember anything after that, except a lot of screaming. I'm not even sure that I got a shot off." Darcy says reliving the moment, thinking she had failed Kara. And what if the shooter was someone who came to hurt Kara?
"Are you all right, Agent?" Lucy asks concerned.
"Uh yeah, the person who was there, were they after Kara? Who was it anyway? And what happened to them?" Darcy questions.
"First, you didn't fire your weapon and the person who was there was not after Kara, well not in a bad way. She was part of a team trying to find Kara, to bring her home." Lucy acknowledges that much to Darcy hoping she wouldn't ask too much too soon.
Darcy watches Lucy and realizes that the person who shot her is someone Lucy knows. She also realizes that Lucy was there that night when she started talking to her, she remembers her voice, and there was a man there as well. Tilting her head, she knows she's making Lucy nervous so she continues to watch her and say nothing waiting for Lucy to tell her more than she should.
"Ummm is there anything else that you remember or that you would like to add or to retract from your statement?" Lucy asks hoping the agent will stop staring at her and move on.
"I remember voices; I assume it was your team that brought me here. I know you were there because I recognize your voice." Darcy reveals to Lucy to see her reaction.
"Yes I was there; I arrived by helicopter after the shooting was reported." Lucy replies as she stands up and turns off the recorder.
"I'll have your statement typed up for you to check over and sign. I don't want to overtire you so I'll come back a little later to go over your time with Supergirl." Lucy continues, "Unless there was anything more?"
"No that's all I remember, for now anyway." Darcy replies wondering why Lucy cut the meeting short.
"I haven't called anyone at the FBI to let them know what happened. Is there anyone in particular you would like me to call for you, or a family member?" Lucy adds before leaving.
"There's no real reason to call anyone at the FBI, I'm on sabbatical so I haven't been taken off any cases. So no, you don't need to call anyone, it's not needed. And I have no family to call." Darcy responds hoping Lucy won't call anyone at the FBI. It's the last thing she needs.
"All right, but if you change your mind, please let me know." Lucy says as she accepts Darcy's request and leaves the room.
Kara is up and walking gingerly around her room, an injured person's version of pacing and being completely bored out of her mind when someone knocks on her door.
"Come in." Kara calls out wondering who is visiting.
"Hi there." Cat says shyly as she comes in, closes the door, and leans against it. "How are you doing besides being bored out of your mind?"
"Cat!" Kara says with excitement as she walks as quickly as she can towards her. "I'm so glad to see you, I missed you."
"You did? You mean our making out session wasn't a dream?" Cat quips then meets Kara half way with a gentle hug and kiss which turns into more and not so gentle.
"Not. A. Dream." Kara replies with a kiss after each word. "And I can't wait to get out of here and show you what else won't be a dream." Kara smirks then kisses Cat again.
"Oh no, you need to stay here to get better, when the doctor gives you the all clear then we'll talk about the 'what else' then." Cat contends.
With a smile that weakens Cat, Kara kisses her then backs her way to the bed sitting down pulling Cat beside her without breaking the kiss. A knock at the door produces a groan from Cat which makes Kara blush a bright red enough for the visitor to know they interrupted something they shouldn't have.
"Hi Kara and Ms. Grant." Eliza greets her daughter and her... boss/girlfriend?
"Eliza!" Kara calls out with a squeaky voice. "Hi!"
Cat chuckles and pats Kara's knee, "It's okay Darling, I've spoken with Eliza and she knows about my feelings for you." Then looks to Eliza, "And please, it's Cat."
"She does?" Kara asks then looks at Eliza, "You do? And...And you're okay with it, with us?"
Laughing at Kara's shock and nervousness, Eliza answers, "Well I knew of Cat's feelings but I wasn't sure of yours towards her that is until I walked in." Chuckling at how red Kara's face is turning.
"When you left that phone message, I knew you left Catco because your heart had been broken and I knew it wasn't the job but that it was someone." Eliza explains to Kara.
"To say I was a bit shocked when Cat called and told me about her feelings for you, I knew from that message you left, that you felt the same at least in some way." Eliza confirms.
"Well we have a lot to talk about and I have a lot of groveling to do..." Cat begins to explain, but is cut off by Kara.
"Cat."
"I do Kara, I have a lot to make up for, and I don't know if I'll ever make up for all that I've said and done." Cat says looking down at her hands.
"Cat, we have a lot to talk about and we will but stop worrying, I've already forgiven you so you need to forgive yourself." Kara conveys to Cat then gives her a hug.
Kissing Kara's forehead, Cat breaks away from the hug, then turns to Eliza, "I'll leave you two for a visit, I need to speak with Director Lane, I'll be back in a little while." Cat says smiling at them both then leaves the room.
Eliza turns towards Kara, "She does feel badly about the way she treated you. But I think you're good for each other. Take it...umm slow and talk. You two need to talk."
"I know and we will. I... we need to have it out, to clear the air so to speak because if she can't forgive herself it's not going to work." Kara agrees thinking about the rough conversation they'll be having sooner rather than later.
