Hello! Thank you again for all your reviews and for reading this story. This will be like a fill up chapter to prepare to what will come next. When I started this story I didn´t imagine it could go this far. Your reviews made that possible. So enjoy, here is chapter 12

CHAPTER 12: BACKWARDS

Winn couldn't believe what he just read. He quickly closed the files and kept on looking at his computer when he heard Kara

"Winn you´re here!"

He turned to where Kara was "Kara! You're awake, you're recovered!. You got me scared… I mean you got us"

"I know what you mean Winn, thank you for being here" She gave him a soft kiss and a hug

"That.. that was surprising and the nicest thing in years" Winn couldn't hide his happiness

"I know you came by to visit and help"

"Yes, and is more than that. I've a work here now, like full time"

"You're leaving CatCo? I´m going to miss you there. Good thing is that I'll see you here"

"You can count on that" He answered nervous as he remembered what he read on Alex's file. Kara noticed it "What´s wrong Winn?"

"Nothing, nothing. Is just this change of work was a surprise, you got me worried and now you're recovered and you… you just kissed me. Everything has changed too fast"

"Was that too fast, I'm sorry Winn I thought..."

"No, it was perfect timing"

"Mr Schott!. Director Henshaw called us to his office. We need to go now" Vazquez shouted him

"That´s not perfect timing. I´m sorry Kara I've to go"

"I understand Winn go. I'll be outside with Eliza. You can join us when you're finished"

Eliza waited for Kara and she saw her talking to Winn. "So Winn and you?"

"Yeah, I guess it was always in front of me and I didn't see it before"

"What about James? I thought you too were into something"

"That didn´t work. He still had some feelings for Lucy. He denied it but he was still mad about something I said about her"

"I see you're happy with Winn" They walked outside the DEO, it was a sunny day

"How much I missed this. The sun and fresh air. It´s wonderful! I wish Alex was here"

"She wants to be sure everything is over now" Eliza became silent and then she continued "Hamilton haven't said anything about her condition. She recovered pretty fast. I was so busy looking for a serum for you that... "

"What is it Eliza?"

"I don't know Kara but I'll ask Hamilton about Alex when we go back"

Vasquez and Winn gave Jonn the report of what they found

"This was all a trick!" Jonn said "They knew we were getting into their files!" He hit the desk angrily "I need to talk to Hamilton before Alex starts to show the symptoms. There has to be a way to stop this"

"That Dr. Hills. Why is he doing all of this?" Winn asked.

"With everything that had happened there hasn't been a report about that. I haven't had a chance to talk to Kara or Alex about it" Jonn said frustrated "I´ll talk with him first maybe he says something. Then I´ll go to Alex"

"Dr. Hills, enjoying your time at the DEO"

"Director you again! I would be better if I could watch something from Netflix"

"Why you did it? Why would you want to harm them?"

"Everyone has a motive. You are trying to get my help because you care about them. Why would you think I would help you? I´ve no reason to do it. Unfortunately for Agent Danvers she was the way to get my revenge. I want Supergirl to experience the same loss I had"

"Loss? Do you think she hasn't experienced loss? She lost her entire world before coming here"

"Yeah just as Superman"

"No! Not like him, he was a baby. He didn't knew anything about Krypton, or his parents but Kara had to say goodbye to hers, to her civilization, culture, friends… and still managed to come to this planet and care about the people around her"

"She didn't care about my Hannah!"

"What are you talking about?"

"My girl, she didn´t save her and that's why she will lose her sister"

Jonn punched the guy´s cell he wanted to punch him since he saw him for the first time. But he knew he couldn´t do it.

Cristina was leaving Alex at her bed the MRI was just finished. "The results will come by and we will be completely sure on what´s happening. How are you feeling?"

"Dizzy, pain" Alex began to cough and her breathing became elaborated

"Alex, what´s wrong?"

"I… I don't know" she kept on trying to catch air

Cristina gave her the oxygen mask "Here, easy, easy…. breathe with me Alex… Better?"

"Yes, better. But I don't want to use this; I don't want to worry my mom, Kara, anyone"

"Leave it there for some minutes, they are still outside. Rest until the results come. I'll wake you up before they arrive"

Alex went to sleep leaving Cristina worried, the sudden change on Alex's condition was something she didn't wanted to happen but it was something that she knew it could happen. Kriptonian cells are not for humans. She had to do further analysis to know how this cells were damaging Alex´s body. She was walking to get to her lab when Jonn called her

"Dr. Hamilton I need to talk to you"

"Director, I´m working on some tests. Can I go to you later?"

"No, this is urgent. I need you here" He opened his office door and let her in

"I need you to read this, but you have to know this is between us by now"

Dr. Hamilton read Henry Cabot´s report and when she ended she kept silent

"Dr Hamilton" Jonn said "We need to do something before Alex starts to..."

"It already began" She said sadly. "She had symptoms this morning. She is having pain and had trouble to breath properly. I´m sorry I didn´t tell you earlier I was waiting for the results and it was also Alex´s request"

Jonn was frustrated and mad for not knowing earlier. "You had to tell me"

"I know but Alex didn't want to worry anyone"

"You have to decide if you are her friend or her doctor"

"I'm both, I can't chose"

"Then I'll have to choose for you. Dr. Stevens will take on Alex´s case"

"You can't do that! I know her and I know how to treat her!"

"If so, you will give me any update on her condition no matter she wants it or not!" Jonn shouted and regretted the minute he finished "Dr. Hamilton I´m sorry but you have to understand"

"I do. I acted as her friend and I´m sorry, but I was also hoping it was nothing. Now reading that file… I'll do my best to find a way to help her. I already run some blood tests and a MRI. I´m waiting for the results"

"Once you have them we will talk to Alex"

"Yes Sir. If you excuse me I'll see go to my lab"

"Is she awake? I would like to talk to her about the time Dr. Hills kept her captive?"

"She was trying to get some sleep but you can go and check"

Kara was walking outside, talking with Eliza feeling the warm sensation of the sun; watching the birds and enjoying the blue sky.

"It feels like I haven't done this in years"

"You scared us. Both of you scared me" Kara approached to Eliza and gave her a hug

"I know, this is a nightmare but it is coming to an end"

"I was hoping if you two wanted to go to Midvale for a couple of days"

"That sounds great! We have to tell Alex!"

Jonn went into Alex´s room and knocked. Alex quickly took off the oxygen mask

"Come in!" She shouted. Jonn opened the door and got in "Jonn, hi"

"How are you Alex?"

"Fine, I am just a little bit tired. I couldn´t sleep thinking about Kara´s recovery"

"Alex, don´t lie"

"You talked to Hamilton" She sighed "I told her not to worry anyone"

"Alex, we are here to help you. To do that I need you to tell me what does that doctor said while you were captive. How did he make you go?"

"He just told me to go to the place where I was arrested if I wanted to see my sister again. He knew everything about me Jonn. He knew when I was recruited and about the time I was arrested. When I was with Kara I was unconscious most of the time but I heard something about his daughter... Hannah, I think that was her name. He wanted revenge but I can´t remember more" When she finished she placed again her hand against her head

Jonn touched her forehead and noticed she had a fever. "I´ll go get Hamilton" Jonn said. He went outside when he found Hamilton at the hallway.

"Director the results are here. I might need some medical instruments outside the DEO to find a solution. We don´t know the compounds of what that guy gave her."

"Do what you must. You have my full authorization. What's going on with Alex?"

"Her immune system is rejecting the Kryptonian cells. The recovery is going backwards just as the report you showed me before stated, but there something else. These Kryptonian cells are fighting back poisoning Alex healthy cells. They are getting attached to other organs damaging them."

"Are you completely sure about this Hamilton?"

"I wish I wasn't… if this keeps on going everything will start to fail among with her other injuries I don´t know if Alex... "

Jonn stopped her "Run all the tests you need we need to find a cure, we can't let Alex die"

"What?!" Kara yelled as soon as she heard what Jonn and Cristina were discussing. Eliza was next to her and couldn´t believe either what they heard. .

Cristina and Jonn looked at them surprised.

"What did you say? Alex is recovering why would you say that?"

"Something is changing Kara. She was healing because she received Kryptonian cells but now her system is rejecting them and her condition is worsening… "

"How? This can't be, please. No, there must be a mistake."

"She began to feel pain and problems to breathe, the tests show that all the recovery is going backwards. We can only make things comfortable to her while we find out a way to stop this"

"So you can´t do anything? What kind of doctor are you?"

"Kara!" Jonn understood Kara´s frustration but couldn't let that kind of attitude. Eliza stayed there watching everything but couldn´t say anything.

"No, she is right… I should know what to do…I should have known earlier. I´m sorry Supergirl I'll work harder to find answers" Cristina left with guilt in her

Kara wanted to see Alex, she found her with the oxygen mask on her.

"I can't leave you alone, can I?" She said as she saw her

"Hello sis…" Alex didn't want to see again those blue eyes frightened. "I´m sorry I don't know what is happening"

"Why are you apologizing? For getting sick? That´s only Hamilton´s fault"

"What about calling her Cristina?" Alex saw the anger on Kara "This isn't her fault Kara don´t blame her"

"Then what is it? You have been under her supervision and…" She remembered the injection "The only one to blame is that Doctor"

"Kara, I´m sure she will find a solution. Kara where are you going?"

Before she could say anything else she saw Kara walking away. She was walking towards the DEO prison bay. She wanted answers from Dr. Hills. Nothing got in her way

"Kara Danvers! You recovered? Wow, you're stronger than we thought?" Dr. Hill said while watching her coming in

"What did you do to my sister?!" Fortunately for the doctor the cell was closed

"I told you Supergirl you are going to suffer just as I did"

Kara´s eyes began to glow but Jonn arrived just in time "No, don´t"

"I´m going to kill him Jonn, I don't care about anything!"

Jonn stepped in front of her "Kara, I know how you feel I want to take revenge on him too but this isn't the way we do it"

"You want answers? You want to save your sister? Surrender before CADMUS!" The Dr. yelled as Jonn took Kara outside

"Did you hear what he said? I thought this was his plan what does CADMUS has to do with any of this?" She placed her hand over her chest and began to take deep breaths

"Kara? What are you feeling?" Jonn asked but Kara didn't answer "Stay here I'll call Hamilton"

Kara started to feel weak; she couldn't get why if she was bulletproof she was feeling that way. That didn't make sense. And CADMUS? What do they want? She was lost in her thoughts when Winn saw her lying over the wall.

"Kara! Are you ok?"

"Jonn went to look for Dr. Hamilton. I´m not feeling well" She whispered

Winn left and came back with a chair "Here sit down. What´s going on? I was about to go outside to find you"

"I wanted to come back sooner. To be with Alex and I heard something that Jonn and Cristina were talking about"

Winn knew about that. He didn't want to worry Kara more and since he saw her weakened he didn't say anything. He let her talk.

"Alex health… I don't know what´s happening only that she is becoming weaker and… Winn that Dr. said that I´ll get answers if I surrender to CADMUS. What does CADMUS know about me or about Alex?"

Winn saw Kara´s confusion; he wanted to help her "I found something Kara… CADMUS knows everything about you. They know Alex is your sister. Vasquez told me this Dr. worked there but I don't know why he abducted you and Alex or why he is so mad"

"It´s because of me" Kara said guilty, her sight was lost "He wanted to take revenge of me. He brought Alex because he wanted me to feel the same pain he felt… he lost his family because of me"

"What? Why would you say that?"

"Because it is true!"

"When did that happened?"

"The day of the earthquake. He and his family were at the bridge when it collapsed. They fell into the water. He survived but his wife and daughter didn´t make it"

"Kara you didn´t had your powers that day and when you had them back you helped as much as you could. Even without them you helped!"

"It wasn't enough and now Alex… she is paying for that"
