I do not own Supergirl, this story was written for fans to enjoy.
Finally the evening has ended, after this strung out day it's hard to believe its all taken place in one. Alex is in Kara's apartment, sitting on her couch running her hands through her hair as she listens to Kara take a shower, taking her time to feel the hot water pour over her body. Trying to cleanse herself from Lillian, from the beatings, the blood, she knows it was all cleaned away by the doctor at the DEO, but she felt like it was still lingering.
Stepping out of the shower, Kara wraps her towel around herself before stepping in front of the mirror, seeing the steam on her mirror she wipes at it with her hand so she can see herself. She sighs I look the same…. but I don't feel the same she stares at her reflection and plants her hands onto the sink. I now know the true depth of her hatred towards me… but she is one in a million she closes her eyes remembering when the firefighters and the civilians came to her aid. They care about me… they helped me even though they could have been hurt… I can't dwell on one person. Yes, she hurt me badly; the nightmares will still be there like Alex said. However, Alex also said she'll be there for me and right now I think she needs me too.
Kara towel dries her hair as best she can and gets herself into a different set of pajamas, the set Alex brought are still at the DEO and right now Kara wants to be at home. Stepping out of her room and into the living room, she can see that Alex looks troubled still; her head is still in her hands.
Sitting down next to Alex, Kara wraps her left arm around her shoulders and gives a gentle squeeze; Alex slowly pulls her face up from her hands to look at across the room. "I wanted to hurt her, Kara, I really did. The longer I spent one on one with her the more my memories flooded with images of you," she turns her head to look at Kara finally. "Hanging from your wrists, then in the infirmary all bandaged up… seeing the extent of what she did to you tore me up inside. And to have the chance to get back at her… I have never felt so angry."
Kara watches as Alex's hands shake ever so slightly, her eyes grow moist, "She hurt you so bad… I didn't want her to get away with what she'd done. But when you came along, you were so calm, despite what she'd done and created with your heat vision… but what you said to her in the end. That you've felt alone, helpless and vulnerable… I was part of the reason or there with you when you went through it," she looks at the table now in front of her. "You made me strong enough not to take action, you made me realize that I had to do the right thing, just like what you once told J'onn when he nearly took the white Martian's life. You made me want to be the stronger person, and helped me regain my self control."
Pulling her in closer, Kara smiles at her sister and places her head against Alex's shoulder. "You may not realize it, but tonight you were my hero," Alex turns her head at this bit of news in confusion. "I saw how strong you were being, despite being so angry at what she'd done to me; you didn't let your emotions take over. You had the gun, the chance, and you were my big sister. You did the right thing and I am so proud to call you my sister," Kara smiles at her, looking up at the smile that slowly spreads on Alex's face.
"I love you Kara," Alex kisses her forehead, cherishing this moment with the younger girl.
"I love you too Alex," Kara smiles, sits up and hugs her just like when Alex had been crying when she opened up to Maggie. Placing a kiss onto the top of her head, "you're my hero," Kara whispers again to earn a giggle from Alex.
24 Hours Later…
A woman in high heels is walking briskly down a cool hallway, her heels sounding off the walls with every step, no decorations, white walls and fluorescent lights. She is wearing a black blazer, a white silk blouse under that shows at the neck line, navy dress slacks, and large sun glasses. No phone is on her, nor a purse, walking with purpose as she turns a corner to meet two guards at a steel mechanical door.
"Gentlemen," she says coolly, they step to the side and press a button out of her view for the door to slide open, "thank you," she says politely. She knows she doesn't have to be, typically she isn't, but on this occasion she is pretty happy with herself.
Stepping into the room she spots Lillian Luthor sitting behind a bullet proof glass with leather cuffs around her wrists and ankles, also an orange jump suit. She looks up at the other woman, surprised, "my-my, to what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from you Cat Grant?"
Cat smiles, pulling her sunglasses off and takes a seat across from Lillian, "I am here to give you a message," she answers.
Blinking in surprise, "really? A-"
"Nu-uh, I am not finished," Cat says, always hating it when someone interrupts her, waiting till Lillian gives the look for her to proceed she nods and her CatCo business look is on her face. "I have friends in high places, just like you, only there are more people in the world that care about my girl that you hurt than there are haters."
Lillian wishes she could cross her arms, but instead she sits back, looking just a tad annoyed she has to listen to a lecture.
"On that note, if you try to get out again I have already been in contact with Lena, and she has frozen your assets. Any outgoing funds to keep projects going with your money will cease immediately," Cat continues and watches Lillian's eye brows go up. Cat figures that she probably has a hidden account somewhere, but chooses not to bring it up. "If you should try to escape on your own, which is highly unlikely," she says with an air of superiority, "you'll freeze once you set step outside of this place. It is -25*c outside presently. And I won't even mention how cold it gets with the wind," she chuckles to watch Lillian's face fall.
Clearly Lillian has no idea where she is, or how long she was sedated on the plane ride to her destination for. Cat sees the look and sits back in her chair, placing her hands onto her lap, "you are in Antarctica, and this place was meant for something else back in the day but a government agency wanted to be sure you could never put harm to Supergirl again. So they bought this place just for you, but don't feel too special," Cat grins, watching Lillian look irritated by this news. "Appreciate what you have here… the power to keep you warm, the water and food as there is no plumbing here, the nearest town is miles away, the only reason why you have lights is the solar panels."
Pursing her lips in anger, not having realized just how bad off her situation had become, Cat leans forward, folding her fingers together on her lap. "If you try to get out, get back to National City and try to go after my girl again I promise you," she glares at her, "I will come after you personally. And I will not hold back."
With that Cat Grant pulls her chair back, stands up straight, grabs her sunglasses, she doesn't say another word and Lillian doesn't say anything in return. Cat turns and walks out of the room, pleased with herself as she heads out to the coatroom to get herself bundled up for the freezing temperatures that await at the small landing strip.
