It had been a few days nice and quiet. J'onn and Alex were spending a lot of time together not even trying to hide their obvious affection to each other. Besides a few embarrassing moments that Eliza created and a few fun games.
But if only that could last. By now the memory of Alex and J'onn being hurt was only a distant memory nothing that remained in anyone's head for more than a second when they saw Alex maybe limp or J'onn's still tight arm.
It was late at night Eliza was getting dinner ready everyone else was out in the lounge watching telly chatting happily amongst themselves. J'onn was the first to notice that was probably because he suddenly collapsed onto the floor. Sweat rolling off his forehead.
"J'onn? Are you alright?" Alex was by his side instantly
"Get out of here. Alex get yourself OUT!" He shouted his body trembling suddenly Kara let out a yell.
"Alex look!" Kara sounded shocked
Alex looked outside to see an army of aliens outside. There seemed to be all the aliens that had been at the DEO. Fire was behind them only seemed to effect J'onn. Everyone gasped in shock when they saw it. Alex tried to keep J'onn's temperature down but Kara knew they had to get him out of here.
"Well well, it's funny to see you here Supergirl. But where is your partner the Martian. Or is he a bit heated." An achingly familiar voice
"Indigo. You were dead?" Kara snarled full on Supergirl mode
"It's funny how such a great beast can be brought down by such trifle things." Indigo moved her way up icily towards Kara and now Clark.
Back in the house Alex had been working on something that would keep J'onn's temperature down. Running up to her father's office she went in and grabbed a small device.
"Mum do you have a needle that can pierce J'onn's skin?" Alex shouted frantically seeing that J'onn was getting worse. Much worse.
He was barely still here he was talking random words in his native tongue. His forehead was burning up his body lay on the ground hardly moving only the faintest rise of his chest made it known that he was still in fact alive.
"J'onn, J'onn. Listen to me. I'm going to inject a cooling agent into you it should prevent you from overheating. You're still going to be weak for a while but…J'onn stay with me." Alex frantically slapped J'onn's cheek
"Alex…" He mumbled hazily
"Yes I'm here. This is going to hurt at first." Before he could stop her she stabbed the thick needle into his arm and gently pushed it down injecting a cooling agent. J'onn's grip tightened around Alex's wrist as Alex injected the liquid.
Eliza was watching worriedly outside where Kara and Clark were talking to someone.
"J'onn hey, hey. Just because you're feeling better doesn't mean you are allowed to get up." Alex sounded just like J'onn and seeing the smirk on his face realized what he was thinking.
"Alex you have to get out of here you and the others." J'onn heard something outside that made him stagger up.
"Kara, Clark they need help." Alex grabbed J'onn and pulled him back down to the sofa
"You are in no condition to fight. I'll go and help them." Alex started to grab her gun
"No Alex. Don't…" J'onn never finished his order since Alex had kissed him
"You know I have to help my sister." She whispered against his lips
"Please be careful." J'onn pleaded
"I love you." J'onn realized it was the first time either one of them had said those few precious words
"Alex I…"
"I know." With that Eliza watched her daughter give the Martian a kiss before running out to help her sister.
"If she honestly thinks that I'm going to sit here and do nothing she has got another thing coming." J'onn whispered heaving himself up. Alex wasn't the only one whom could be stubborn.
"J'onn you shouldn't go out there. You're already weak." Eliza came over
"I am not leaving Alex out there by herself." J'onn huffed pulling himself up standing up taller
"Be careful."
"See if you can contact the DEO we'll be needing back up." J'onn stumbled out the door to where the fire and fight was immersing.
"Alex! What do you think you're doing out here?!" Kara shouted as she saw Alex run out and shot one of the escapee's down
"Helping you of course." She ran up and punched one of the hellgrammites
Suddenly Kara was battling one of the stronger aliens that of course was swearing for her blood. Alex turning her attention to where could help without becoming an alien's dinner ran over to help Clark.
Suddenly a familiar figure came and knocked out the alien that was currently trying to kill her.
"J'onn! What are you doing out here?" Alex stammered
"You would never abandon your sister and I would never abandon you." He replied simply pulling her to her feet
"Let's help them." Alex ran back into the fire one by one it seemed the escapees were being taken down J'onn and Alex were going around securing the prisoners till the DEO came. J'onn couldn't help while there was so much fire around him but since the cooling agent had helped him he still was weak.
"J'onn take a moment. I can see that you're having trouble." Alex ordered and for once J'onn didn't complain feeling rather tired.
Suddenly J'onn saw to everyone's relief that the DEO had indeed turned up full armoury and everything. J'onn was starting to have hope that everything would turn out not as bad as it had first seen.
Suddenly Lucy ran up to him to his surprise the heat didn't seem to effect her at all. He knew it wouldn't be as bad for everyone else but Lucy seemed to hardly have sweat on her.
"Director J'onzz we came here as soon as we could. Where is Danvers?" She asked J'onn was about to point her out when something made him stop. Lucy never call Alex 'Danvers' it was either her first name or agent Danvers. J'onn's eyes narrowed. Looking more closely at Lucy's face.
"You can't pull that trick on me twice." He growled lowly in his native tongue
Everyone looked up in shock as J'onn struck what everyone thought to be their boss. Many agents looking at him in fright. That was until the form of Lucy wavered turning into the White Martian.
Smirking the White Martian charged at J'onn the fire not effecting it at all. Alex seeing this pushed him out of the way earning a strike onto her leg. Letting out a yowl of pain as the White Martian picked her up and dropped her beside its feet.
Suddenly everything seemed to stop everyone looking at them J'onn noticed that Indigo wasn't there anymore suddenly realizing what the White Martian had been doing.
"Let. Her. Go." He snarled dangerously low
"E'lka y'alra m'eria." J'onn stiffened knowing that he didn't have many choices he looked down at Alex whom was there lying bleeding everywhere. She was trying to get up but slammed back down.
He knew there was only one choice he could make.
J'onn looked up to the White Martian. Before nodding.
"I accept."
