Chapter 9

So...I have never written 2 chapters in the span of a couple weeks but I wanted to write another one because I am starting to get more busy with school. Didn't do too well on a test so now I need to change my habits. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter.

Lena's one thought was, what happened?

Lena began to pull out of the hug and held on to Kara's shoulders instead. "Kara what happened?" Lena was looking at her girlfriend with so much love and compassion that just caused Kara to break down in tears again and look down. Lena just brought her finger up to Kara's chin and lifted it so she was able to look into Kara's eyes and all she saw was pain and guilt. Lena was about to ask what had happened but all of a sudden her Lcorp TV inside turned on and Lena saw.

"Supergirl rushed onto the scene of the fire earlier today. She went into one building and got the 30 people that were in it out and went into the next and got about 65 people out before we started to see that she was running out of steam and knew she still had to put the fire out so she started to do just that. After the fire was out she went down to ground level and checked to see if anyone was in need of urgent care. Once she saw that no one was she turned back towards the building and flew away. We know she did her best." There was a pause. "We are just getting word on how many civilians have been injured and there have been multiple deaths. There has been 25 that were minorly injured, 11 that have been put into hospital with smoke inhalation. As for deaths, there has been 13 confirmed dead."

As soon as Kara heard the number of people severely injured and all the deaths she just broke down sobbing harder than Lena had ever seen before. She was trying her best to sooth her girlfriend but nothing seemed to be working. She thought about calling Alex but before she even had a chance to reach for her phone there was a knock on her office door. Next thing she knew Jess was walking into the office with Maggie and Alex trailing right behind her. They rushed over to Lena and Kara and brought them inside.

" I'm guessing she told you what happened Lena?" Alex asked. Looking over to her distressed sister.

" no. the news came on and I saw it. She heard the death toll and just lost it." Lena paused " Alex can you take her? I can't move" Nothing had to be said to get Alex to go down to her sister and help her up so they could move to the couch so Kara could lay down.

Once they got settled on the couch Alex moved Kara onto her chest and she heard her sister sniffling and Maggie came over to them with a box of tissues. Alex grabbed one and gave it to Kara. Kara blew her nose and got comfortable on Alex's lap. " Kara listen to me. You won't always be able to save everyone." Alex paused "you saved over 100 people. I am so proud of you okay? You did so great. You stopped the fire before it could spread to anymore buildings too. You did amazing." Alex gave Kara an extra squeeze and Alex heard her little sister sniffle and begin to wipe away her tears. Kara turned to face her sister with a small smile on her face. Lena came over to Kara's other side and grabbed Kara's hand to hold. Lena gave Kara a small smile and a small glass of water.

" Thanks Lee" Kara said before taking a sip of the water.

" I guess we'll leave you two alone" Maggie said getting up from the end of the couch. Alex also getting up and giving her sister a kiss on the top of her head and then following Maggie out of the office. Once the door closed Lena brought Kara into her arms and just hugged her as hard as humanly possible and a kiss on Kara's cheek.

Lena had been holding onto Kara before they broke the silence

"Kara-"

"Lena-"

They both said at the same time and gave each other a big grin and a small giggle.

" you can go first" Kara said while getting off of Lena's lap to look at her girlfriend.

" Kara it's okay to be sad about this but you do have to know you can't always save everyone. And like Alex said. You should be so proud of yourself. I love you Kara."

" thanks Lena. I love you too" Kara went to give Lena a kiss but Lena stopped her.

" okay I'd love to give you a kiss but not until you shower. You smell like smoke." Lena says. Kara just pouts and flies out of the office and 10 minutes later she comes back with her hair up in a messy bun wearing a pair of sweets and one of Lena's sweaters that was at Kara's loft.

" Now can you kiss me?" Kara asks giving Lena her puppy dog eyes and Lena just pulls Kara into her and starts to kiss her. The kiss starts off slow but soon it gets more heated as they begin to move their lips faster and their hands begin to rome. As they were starting to move their hands under each others clothes they heard a knock on the door and looked at each other with a frown on their faces and moved their hands from under each others shirt. They stood up right away an parted, standing a couple feet apart. They saw Jess come in.

" oh Ms. Luthor I'm so sorry I didn't know Ms. Danvers was here. Your mother is here Ms. Luthor. Should I send her in?" Kara looked at Lena

" I can leave if you want Lena." Kara went to walk to the door but Lena quickly reached out to grab Kara's hand.

"Stay. please" Lena asked Kara with a expression on her face that Kara just couldn't say no to. Kara nodded her head.

" send her in Jess" Lena was immediately in work mode.

" Hello mother" Lena said with a cold expression towards her mother. She was upset because they kept getting freakin cockblocked the few times they were getting further than kissing they were always interrupted. And because it was her mother of all people that had come to see her that just made her more annoyed.

" Hello Lena. I'm sorry if I've interrupted but I need to speak with you. Preferably alone." Lena looked towards her mother and then Kara.

" No. she stays. Whatever you have to say to me she can hear it too" Lena's mother looked over to Kara and gave her a glare.

" alright. But I don't know if you'll like this." Lena's mother paused. " I thought you might like to know who Supergirl's true identity is." She paused again watching how Kara's faced turned to one of fake concern and on Liliana's face was a small smirk. On the inside tho Kara had the biggest smirk. 'Finally beat her at something' Kara thought to herself.

" just spit it out Mother. I have a lot of work that needs to be done today." Lena was annoyed and her mother clearly knew that.

" Oh Lena dear. You're so naive." Lilian paused " Kara Danvers is Supergirl, Lena. I thought you would've figured it out by now. Maybe you're not as smart as I thought you were." Lilian said giving her daughter a cold look with a hint of a crooked smile. Lena looks to Kara with a blank expression and then turns back to her Mother.

" Mother. I want you out. Now." Lena says while moving forward towards her Mother.

" But Lena. Now you know that your so called Girlfriend is a liar. And a fucking Alien no less. How can you be with someone as her kind? You know all about what her cousin did to Lex, Lena."

" Mother you honestly think I'm that dense? I've known Kara was supergirl for months. You keep underestimating me. When will you learn that I'm way smarter than you have pegged me to be." Lena paused while giving Lilian the coldest stare Kara had ever seen from her girlfriend. "so again. Get the hell out. "

" you're just going to stay with this freak? She's nothing but a worthless alien who should've died on her planet. She's the scum of this earth. She deserves to die." everything went in slow motion from there. Lilian pulled out a knife laced with kryptonite and Lena tried to protect Kara by going in front of her but Kara quickly pushed Lena away and Lilian stabbed her in the chest and all Lena could do is watch as her girlfriend fell the floor bleeding. She quickly grabbed a towel that was sitting near the couch and brought it to the spot that Kara got stabbed. Lena was too busy being focused on her girlfriend that she didn't notice that Lilian had left. Lena didn't know to do.

" JESS. JESS. I NEED YOU IN HERE RIGHT AWAY" Lena screamed while tears were falling down her cheeks. Jess came running in.

" What's going on Ms. Luthor-" Jess paused when she saw what had happened. "Oh my god" Jess looked sick at all the blood that could be seen. It was all over Lena's hands and shirt and pants.

" Jess I need you to call this number." Lena paused to give her phone to Jess and pointed out the number. " Call her. She'll know what to do." Lena paused to look down at her girlfriend. " Please hurry Jess" Lena says on the verge of tears.

Jess called Alex while trying not to cry herself. She and Kara may have not started off their relationship off right but they had gotten to know each other this past year.

" Alex said she'll be here with a medical team in less than 5 minutes." Jess said while putting Lena's phone down on the coffee table in front of the couch.

Jess was standing by the door keeping a lookout for Alex and her team while Lena was crying while holding the towel to her girlfriend's chest wound.

" Kara stay with me" Lena paused covering one of her hands over mouth not noticing there was blood on it trying to quiet her sobs. " Kara I love you so much. Please don't leave me. I can't lose anyone else I care about. Please Kara" Lena was watching Kara's eyes flicker and it was clear that she was losing the battle of keeping her eyes open.

"I love you so much Lena." Kara was trying not to cough " Tell alex" Kara had to keep pausing in between words because of all the weezing " tell her I love her."

" Kara no! You can't leave me. You can't leave all your friends behind." Lena was no longer in control of her tears and was sobbing uncontrollably. " you can tell her that yourself. You are not going anywhere."

" I want you to...to keep..this. Keep it safe. I love you Lena." Kara paused and handed her mothers necklace to Lena. " please take care of Alex." blood started coming out of Kara's mouth.

" tell her I love her." she coughed a couple times " tell everyone I love them" another couple of coughs. " tell Alex I never stopped fighting. I love you Lena." Kara was fading into the darkness.

All Lena could do was watch as Kara's eyes closed and Watch the blood coming out of her chest. The next few minutes were such a blur that Lena didn't even know how she ended up at the DEO. She didn't remember Alex coming in and Kara being put on a stretcher and she had no idea how she ended up sitting on a chair outside the medical bay.

As Alex went into Lena's office she didn't know what she was going to be walking into but she never thought it would be this bad. Lena was crying over her little sisters body. Alex quickly raced over to Kara and checked for a pulse. She was only able to find a slow one, too slow. She knew she had to rush to the DEO to get Kara into Surgery right away. She pulled Lena away noticing that Lena had blood all over her including on her face and she realized that Lena was also holding Kara's mother's necklace in her hand that didn't have any blood on it. She puts a hand on Lena but when she doesn't react she calls Maggie over to help. Maggie grabbed Lena's hand and slowly and gently lifted Lena to her feet and helped her to the DEO medical truck. She stayed beside Lena and tried to get her to respond to her but all she was doing was staring at the necklace in her hands.

Back in Lena's office Alex was loading her sister onto a gurney rushing past Jess out to the truck. As she passed Jess she said. " I'll let you know how she's doing when I get an update. Thanks for calling me Jess"

Alex rushes to the truck and gently places the gurney with her sister on it and looks towards her Girl and to Lena and feels her heart break when she sees her face. There are dried tear tracks on her face and blood on her hands, her pants, and her shirt. Alex had never seen something more heartbreaking than what she is seeing now. She looked up to Maggie to see that she looked just as heartbroken as Alex did looking at Lena. They all looked to Kara and shed a tear when they saw her pale white face, no sign of waking up.

When they got to the DEO Maggie brought Lena to the chairs in the medical wing when they weren't able to follow Alex and Kara anymore.

"Stay with me Kara." Alex said looking down at Kara's pale face as she ran down alongside the gurney as Kara was headed into surgery.
