Waiting Room-Kaiser Permanente Central NatCity
The three blonde women sat in the waiting room staring at their individual phones. The flurry of late-night messages keeping their minds off the reason why they were at the hospital in the first place..
Cat's phone: GOT ANYTHING ON THE NORCROSS RALLY ON SUNDAY? - Snapper
"BEEN TRYING TO REACH HANK...GOT SOMETHING DEFINITIVE ON BIZARRO...CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THIS.." - Lucy L.
Leslie's phone: "YOU GUYS COMING HOME SOON? INDI HELP WITH MY HISTORY AND MATH. HISTORY WAS FUN, MATH WAS HARD. LOVE U GUYS - Carter
Kara's phone: "MET UP WITH MAGGIE. SHE AND ASTRA HIT IT OFF WELL. TOO TIRED TO COME HOME...IF YOU NEED US ROOM 108 DT RESIDENCE INN." - Alex
Kara was the only one to respond to her text...
Kara: "So...did the orgy start already..."
Alex: "You guys should talk. All THREE of you. Hell, Leslie herself is louder than SIOBHAN! Anyway,.goodnight horndogs..."
Kara had to chuckle a little at that. She had been noticing the flirtatious body language between her adoptive sister and the detective for sometime and had wondered if Astra had picked up on it. She'd never seen her aunt in jealous mode. Kara knew that Astra knew of Maggie and wondered how she'd react to that.
If that text meant anything, Astra seemed fine with that.
Which was good, because at the moment, she and her companions were concerned with the young brunette in the private room on the same floor. Kara, Cat, and Les were on their way to meet Lena Luthor to probe Lena's desire to buy Catco Media, the firm built almost solely by Cat Grant from the ground up. But that was before the young woman now in that hospital room fell from the sky...actually jumped off the top of L Corp Tower, only to have Supergirl (who had to change in lightning speed from Kara mode) catch her in mid-air and and eased her down to terra firma.
The young woman was about 25, jet black hair, and all three women thought devastatingly beautiful. The usual crowd started to gather, and someone had the foresight to call a fire department ambulance. Supergirl flew over the ambulance that was headed for Kaiser NatCity. Cat and Les followed in Cat's SUV.
That was 4:30 in the afternoon.
Now it's almost midnight. Thankfully there was a Circle K across from the hospital, so that Kara, Cat, and Les were surviving each on their own Family Size Lay's Biscuits and Gravy flavored Potato Chips. Damn that new increased metabolism.
And as they downed chips, they all wondered what was going on. The medics who arrived said that the woman may have passed out on the way down. But you should be up after almost 8 hours.
Suddenly, two doctors walked out of the room, two females, one brunette the other blonde. The brunette spoke first, introducing herself as Dr. Zambrano and introduced the blonde as Dr. Cameron. Kara was still in her Supergirl gear, and Cameron did all she could do not to to gush at the Girl of Steel. "Pardon me, I've been a fan since you first showed up." Supergirl smiled, whilst Cat, Les, and Zambrano simply rolled their eyes.
Cat and Leslie introduced themselves to the doctors. Cat made sure that they were not here for a "story," but just to make sure the woman was alright.
Dr. Zambrano: "The woman will be alright, however there was a complication..."
Supergirl: "Such as...?"
Dr. Cameron: "Such as the 25 Seconal pills we flushed out of her system..."
To Kara, Cat, and Les it became clear what happened: if the pills could not do the job, the fall from 50 stories might.
"One more thing...do you have an id on the the woman?" Dr. Cameron said that information would not be released to the press until notification of next of kin.
Cat: "This is not a press request. This is a personal one. Nothing will be published..."
The two doctors looked at the three and one could guess they could be trusted.
Dr. Zambrano answer the question. "The reason we're cautious is because..." Zambrano hesitated for a moment. "We went through her ID that she had in her pocket. The name we came up with was...Lena Luthor..."

Author's notes:
Short chapter, but I guess I work better with brevity, which is soul of wit, like comments are the soul of a writer. HINT!
A personal thanks to AXEe, who has created a wonderful OC named Connor Jeremiah (CJ) Danvers for her Supergirl "Family Matters" series. You should check it out, especially her newest work, "Chronomancer" I think you will love it, as well as all of her Supergirl works.
Thanks for reading...
