As J'onn flew Alex into the DEO and went back to get Jeremiah, she rushed to Kara's room as fast as she could. Looking at her sister's motionless body, attached to multiple machines and looking deadly pale she froze.
"What happened?" The Agent asked her mother who was sitting next to Kara looking defeated.
"Her body couldn't handle the virus. Her heart stopped twice and she stopped breathing on her own." Eliza said sobbing "She is brain dead, Alex."
"No, no Mom I have the antidote. It will cure her I promise." Alex said with more certainty than she was feeling.
"Alex, you are a scientist. You know it is not possible to reverse it. Not in her condition."
"No. You're wrong. How can you give up so easily?" Alex was shouting now not able to think about life without her sister. "Don't you care about her?"
"How can you think like that? She's my daughter too."
"You don't act like she was!" The Agent exclaimed frustrated.
"What's going on?" J'onn asked coming into the room and sensing the tension.
"Jeremiah?" Eliza asked in disbelief when she saw her husband standing next to J'onn.
"Yes, it's me. How is she?" Jeremiah asked looking at his younger daughter.
"She will be fine after we have given her the cure." Alex assured not seeing another possibility.
"I will get Hamilton." J'onn said leaving the infirmary.
"Alex, Honey you have to consider it won't work the way we want it to." Eliza said gently.
She didn't answer and just stood there holding her sister's hand, not taking eyes off of her for a second. Jeremiah came up to his daughter and not saying a word hugged her tightly.
"Are you ready?" Hamilton asked looking at everyone in the room.
After Alex nodded the doctor started to inject the cure into Kara's IV line. When she was done, they waited anxiously, their eyes glued to Kara. After five minutes of waiting they started to lose hope.
"Come on, Sweetheart you can do it." Alex encouraged her sister.
"I'm sorry." Hamilton said when ten minutes passed and Kara's vitals were not improving before leaving the family to say their goodbyes.
"Kara, come on. You are stronger than this." Jeremiah said.
"Alex, it's too late." Eliza cried.
"You can't leave me. Please Kara. Please fight." The Agent sobbed hugging her sister gently. "I promise I will do whatever you want just please wake up and I promise I will be by your side every step of the way when you're recovering. And we will have the sisters' night again and I will buy you so many potstickers that you will never look at them the same way. Please Kara."
"I think her vitals are improving!" Eliza exclaimed looking at the monitors.
"Her fever is down."
"Kara? Honey can you hear me?" Eliza asked hoping for Kara to open her eyes.
"Open your eyes for me Kara." Alex pleaded wanting to be sure that the cure had worked properly.
Kara hearing voices briefly opened her eyes, but instantly closed them again and fell asleep.
"You think that's normal?" Alex asked happy that her sister was okay but still worried about her well being.
"I will get Hamilton back in here." Jeremiah offered.
"Her vitals are stable. She obviously doesn't have her powers back yet." Hamilton said looking at the wound which still hasn't healed. "We will know more once she wakes up."
"Thank you." Eliza smiled relieved.
"I think she's waking up." Eliza said the next morning when she noticed her daughter started to stir.
"Kara? Can you open your eyes for me?" Alex called standing from the chair that she was sleeping in.
Opening her eyes Kara looked at the worried faces around her. Not recognizing any one of them she started to feel anxious.
"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked looking around.
"You don't remember us?"
"Should I? She asked before she realized how much her stomach hurts.
"What's wrong Honey?" Eliza asked seeing pained expression on her daughters face.
"My stomach hurts." Kara admitted closing her eyes briefly.
"I will get Hamilton to give you something for the pain." Eliza said before walking out of the room.
After her mother had left, Alex wanted to comfort Kara but when she tried to take her hand, the girl hid it under the comforter before her sister could even touch her.
"Kara, I know you must be confused but I promise you you're safe here." Alex assured her.
"Who are you?" Kara asked once again, trying to stay calm.
"I'm your sister."
"Why can't I remember anything? What's wrong with me?"
"We don't know yet, but I promise you we will figure it out."
