Kara walks out of the DEO bathroom, rubbing her eyes of sleep as she had overslept by 5 hours. It was time for the group therapy after drinks with her sister and twin. Several drinks. She happily crashed on her bed at the DEO as per the Director's request. She vaguely recalls J'onn taking Alex home but it's mostly a blur. Walking to the room door she can see a faint glow of red sun emitters in the room.
The other Kara was already on a bed, the red sun lamp shining on her. "Miss Danvers, your bed awaits you." The doctor pointed at v a second empty bed with another red sun lamp shining on it. She also noticed 4 lamps set up in the 4 corners of the room. The doctor was taking no chances with these two supers. He waited for her to lie down.
She nods and walks in, "thank you," she says quietly. Lying down on her bed she closes her eyes waiting patiently.
"So I am sure both you ladies have noticed some precautions I have set up? You will soon be a human strength. No having fits, storming out, or breaking things will be allowed. Am I understood?" He asked sternly.
Kara inwardly rolls her eyes, "yes," she says flatly.
"Yes doctor." General Kara spoke up meekly.
"Kara Danvers, if I see you being defiant and roll your eyes at me one more time, I will report you to Director Henshaw. Am I understood?" He stood up and looked down on her, his face a now stern mask. This doctor is good, he quickly picks up on attitude.
Kara opens her eye's and looks at him in the eye, "crystal."
"Sarcasam Ms. Danvers? I am not bluffing when I say I can put you on report."
She watches him closely, "I am aware, now can we please start the session?"
"Alright. First I pick up not only reluctance but some hostility about these sessions. I will start with you Kara Danvers. Why are you so negative about therapy?"
She looks at him seriously, "maybe I don't like having a complete stranger talk to me about my personal life. Maybe I prefer to talk with such things with people that I know, instead of being analysed through documents. I'm just saying, it was a traumatic thing we both went through on that island. Not an alien invasion I stopped."
"I am your doctor, your therapist. Not a stranger Kara. As for what happened on the island, I think we got over the fact it wasn't just the island that was your problem. You were unhappy way before the island."
He looked at both in turn. "You both agree that the island only added to your emotional baggage correct?"
The general nodded.
"Yes," Kara answers.
The doctor was worried about Danvers' reticence.
"Why are you being hostile? Have I done something wrong?"
"She doesn't like you..." The general offered smirking.
"Clearly." He responded frustrated. "I am not here to make friends Kara Zor-El Danvers." He told her once again stern. "I am here to help you. We were making great strides. Now I have hostility and shut down." He gestured over to the general who hadn't spoken much.
Nor had she reacted in any real way... He was getting nowhere with these two.
He was losing patience fast. This was uncommon for him and he chided himself for letting them take control.
She takes a deep breath, "have I given you the impression that I intended to use my powers in here? Because right now I'm feeling you don't trust me, you want me to be human, or rather embrace being human. But now I feel like your treating me like I'm an alien you don't trust." She watches him closely.
"So it is the sun lamps? I understand if you feel offended. It is simply to bring you human for your sessions. One of you did use your super strength."
"I did apologize for that." The other Kara finally spoke up. "I'm sorry Kara- other me, we are enduring the lamps due to my bad judgment."
"Now that is settled. Why the reluctance of being here? Both of you. If we can break thru some barriers, this will be your last session. Both of you." He hoped this bit of news would get them talking?
Kara closes her eyes and takes another deep breath, thinking it over. "It's having to open up, I suppose," she opens her eyes. "I know that when Mon-El left Alex kept wanting me to open up to her, but I shut everyone out because I felt it was better to deal with it on my own."
"I see. Well believe it or not that is a very human response. Part of the hardest concept of therapy is the reveal process. I usually find once opened for reveal, it goes so much better. Like when we both discovered yesterday it was more than the island. But you both are in agreement that this is helping you right?"
Kara gives a small sigh, "yes," she admits.
"No." The twin responded.
Kara turns her head to look at her twin, "what's wrong?" She looks at her concerned.
"Nothing... everything. Needless therapy..."
Kara purses her lips in thought, "what if you just talked to me?" No idea if it would work but knowing they are the same person might help in her mind.
"I would like that. You two talk to each other. I will be here to observe." Livingston told them. Pulling up a clipboard to take notes.
"Honestly what is there to say? I am a twin of you and though I don't want to go back to my own world I fear I have to if I am to survive."
Kara clasps her hands together, "what about your husband?" Not knowing the story behind him leaving.
"He left Kara. He went back to try to fix our war torn and despicable world. By stranding me he has only made me feel even more lost."
Livingston is worried the general is falling into a depression. That may or may not be a bad influence on Kara's anger issues that she is still exhibiting. He makes quick notes on this.
"I'm sure that wasn't his intention, from what I heard he cares deeply for you. Like my Alex he wants to protect you, do you still have an Alex on your Earth?" Kara asks, unsure if the war or what could have happened.
He's now thinking in the back of his mind group wasn't the best thing. The general's exhibiting clearly a depressed state. He writes on her file.
The other Kara quickly looks at her, her neck turning so fast it almost looked like whiplash. "No!" She shouted, "I can't talk about her..." She looked wildly around the room, "I can't do this anymore I can't deal anymore..." She jumped out of bed, and before Livingston could stop her she ran out of the room quickly gaining speed away from the red sun lamps.
He had been thrown into a wall, attempting to stop her path. Head dazed he looked at Kara.
Kara sits up quickly and takes off after her before he can tell her not to. It was her fault after all, she made her snap and in her mind her job to make things right. But she called out to Dr. Hamilton when she spotted her, "Dr. Livingston needs you!" Before breaking out in a full run.
Hamilton quickly helped Livingston up. "What happened?" She put a hurried call out to the Director, warning him of the out of control Kryptonian again.
"Bad Kara is really bad!" Livingston admitted. "I uncovered severe depression."
Kara lost her twin in a matter of moments.
Soon an alarm went off throughout the base. J'onn was just in time to see the crazed Kryptonian slam through and break the window door that both Supergirl and J'onn fly in and out of on the main control room floor.
Overgirl fell a few stories before her powers hit and she quickly flew off.
Kara ran to Winn at the computers, "Winn, I need you to locate my twin ASAP," she says making him jump at her being there suddenly.
"Geez! You should really wear a bell or have a buzzer so when you're about to burst into here-" Winn starts and stops, "she's out through your exit!"
Nodding she takes off in the same direction while running into J'onn who's ahead of her.
"Shit!" Alex breathed looking at J'onn's stunned face.
They both jumped out the window trying to find her. Kara too fell a bit till her powers kicked back in.
"We have to find her!" J'onn yelled over at Kara as he made sure her powers came back before crashing.
Kara nods in agreement and listens hard. Closing her eyes she focuses on listening very intently while J'onn goes off to the park near the ice cream place he took her to. She picks up on something and takes off.
The angry Kryptonian enjoyed flying again... it was always dangerous in her world, but here it was peaceful and... safe. Maybe she could find a deserted area on this Earth and live in peace... maybe there was somewhere here she could stay. She pondered the possibility while watching for traffic. They had allot of birds here and it wouldn't do to crash into one.
J'onn flies off to the bar after wondering if she felt the need for a drink. Kara goes over to each of the tallest points in the city, straining her ears for the slightest hint and then sees something in the distance. She approaches slowly, not wanting to spook her.
The lost Kryptonian was enjoying herself for the first time in a long time. She felt the sun absorbed thru her body, strengthening her even more. She looked around below her enjoying the view of the small buildings and even smaller cars and the ant like people that crowded the streets.
Kara watches her twin from a distance, wishing she could contact J'onn but she didn't grab a device before leaving. Studying her posture and recognizing it, she's done the same thing when in the need for time alone.
General Kara put on speed as she decided to leave the city. Best not be around humans when flying through the air... Not paying attention to what was ahead of her she ran into a bird that was curious about her and flew too close. She felt bad as the bird plummeted from the sky not handling the impact of hitting the steel alien.
She flew faster to get out of the city air space.
Supergirl takes off after her twin with more curiosity and decides to go faster, and faster and finally manages to catch up with her. She doesn't say anything, just watches her.
The doppelganger sees her and pulls up. "Why are you following me?" She asked slightly angry.
She was stopped suspended in the air. She was in normal jeans and shirt so looked like a flying human.
"You're not yet used to this Earth, let me help you," she says, hovering in front of her. "I'm sorry I upset you. I just want to get to know you."
"You just want to take me back. Lock me away... I am not being cuffed, strapped, poked or probed again!" She growled viciously. "And I am not going back!" She declared.
She holds up her hands, "no I don't. That is the absolute last thing I want for you," she feels a chill up her spine at the memory. "I was right there with you... I feel the same as you," she says calmly.
"Then why follow me?" She asked suspiciously. "Why not leave me be? You know you look like a cheerleader in that ridiculous suit don't you?"
Kara hovers there for a moment, "to talk... finally. Without the doctor's, agents, everyone... please." She ignores the comment and waits.
"Talk about what? The fact that I am you and don't even belong here with you? Or talk about how karma bit me in the ass and I am stuck here where I don't belong because of the mean act I was attempting to carry out on you? No matter what I don't belong and need to go away."
"Why do you think you don't belong?" Kara asks bewildered.
"Two Kara Zor-Els on the same earth? Please Kara you of all people can tell I don't belong. You are already here- this is your ideal earth. I got handed Nazi world and had to adapt." She got tired of talking and Kara could see she was ready to speed fly off.
J'onn can see them in the distance, a tranquilizer gun in his hand, staying low to the ground. He looks through his scope and curses to himself in his mind. Finger on the trigger.
Kara nods, "okay... I see what you're getting at. But flying away from your problem isn't going to help," she flies closer to her.
"Flying away is all I have now Kara." She starts to fly away.
He pulls the trigger as he watches Kara try to talk her down. Watching the dart make its mark.
Kara doesn't bother to look and see where it came from; she just wished she could connect with her twin.
The lost Kryptonian felt the sting of the dart, then the feel of the Kryptonite pouring into her system. She looked down and pulled the dart out of her side and started to falter. Supergirl could tell her twin was about to plummet, and having done that many times she knew it would hurt with Kryptonite in her.
Kara moves quickly to catch her, not wanting her to get hurt.
J'onn flies up next to her, opening his arms to take Overgirl from Supergirl. "You tried," he says to her quietly.
"Thank... you Supergirl..." She slurred, head lolling to one side and passing out.
Kara shakes her head as she passes off Overgirl to J'onn. "Please," she whispers and watches J'onn fly off with Overgirl back to the DEO. She hovers there for a minute, before settling down to the ground and going down to her knees. Balling up her fists into the ground. Slowly her body shakes just taking in the chat and everything from the last several days.
A passerby sees Supergirl and walks up to her. She is a teenage girl and looks at her curiously. "Are you okay Supergirl? I love you!" She gushed, "I thought I saw you in the sky with a human disguised alien. You are my idol Supergirl and it is a real honor to meet you in person!"
Just then a DEO van showed and Alex hobbled up in crutches. She stood back listening to the teenager try to comfort her sister.
Upon hearing the new voice she takes a few breaths and forces a smile. She knows she can't lose herself in the public eye, she needs to be who she sees. Clearing her throat she lifts her head and smiles, "I'll be fine sweetie, thank you." She manages to get herself to stand up, doing her best to keep her legs firm. She extends her hand to the young girl, "what's your name? Would you like a picture with me?" She offers giving her best smile. In the back of her mind she keeps thinking about her twin but focuses on the present.
J'onn brings Overgirl into the med bay and brings her to Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Livingston. "Are you alright doctor?" He asks as he sets her onto a stretcher.
"Yes. Just a headache. She is clinically depressed, and I am sorry to say a danger to herself and others." He handed the report over to J'onn. "Keep her under sedation until we know what to do with her." He suggested walking off to get rest.
Dr. Hamilton had her placed on a bed in their isolation ward. "What now Director?" She asked at a loss. She pulled him away while the girl was being placed in another hospital gown and strapped onto the bed. "Do you want cuffs again or a red sun lamp?"
She looked over at her assistants while they were ratcheting the restraints over her chest stomach and thighs. Wrists and ankles already enclosed in kryptonite cuffs.
J'onn sighs, "Red sun lamps doctor, I don't want to cause any unnecessary pain," he runs his hand over his bald head. "Let me know when she awakens."
Hamilton nodded and had the kryptonite cuffs changed to regular cuffs. They attached sensors to her monitoring her vitals, and a red sun lamp was moved from the psychiatric room to the unconscious Kryptonian.
The teenage girl hesitantly put an arm around Supergirl. "My name is Tina, and I would love a selfie with you Supergirl!"
Alex hobbled up in her crutches. "Should I take a few pics Supergirl?" She offered smirking.
Kara smiles and moves her arm around the teenage girl, hoping to make her feel more comfortable. Looking up at Alex she nods, "yes, please."
Alex takes Tina's phone and snaps a nice gallery of Kara and her fan.
Tina could not help hugging on Kara, gushing the entire time. "You are the coolest Superhero of all time! You rock! Superman has nothing on you! I cannot wait to show my friends!" She reached up and kissed her on the cheek, still swooning she fell back quickly falling back in the grassy area where Kara originally had landed. Embarrassed the girl quickly brushed herself off.
Kara smiled, always enjoying when a fan came to see her. The simplest of jobs as Supergirl but it always brings the genuine smiles. She reached over to help her stand up, "even I fall down sometimes," she winked.
Alex pulls out a note pad. "Give her an autograph Supergirl." She grinned. "Write something Kryptonian."
"Yeah she is allot cooler than Superman." Alex agreed grinning. She knew it was a huge ego boost for her Sister and she enjoyed being a part of it.
Taking the notepad she signed the girls name and wrote 'my super fan' in Kryptonian before signing. "Thank you," she holds it out. "It says my super fan by the way."
The girl just stared at her. Finally uttering."Thank you Supergirl. I... I cannot believe I finally had a chance to meet you. I... I love you so much!" She again gushed now holding onto the notepad.
Alex sidled over to her sister. "Blow her away- give her something to seriously brag about. Fly her and I will take a pic." She whispered.
Kara was tempted to give her an elbow, but she knows she isn't just trying to help her cheer up. She enjoys meeting the fans as well. Placing her hand onto the girls shoulder gently, "would you like to go for a lift? My friend can take a photo."
"Oh my god! Yes Supergirl! Yes!" She started to jump, too excited for words. She handed her phone back to Alex, and waited for Kara to fly her.
Kara scoops her up into her arms, "ready?" She lifts off gently, not wanting to hurt her with whiplash. "Let me know if I go too high, okay?" She says while going up higher. Once at about 4 stories high she hovers.
"Too high?" She calls down to Alex.
"Nope, I got it but as you fly down get closer and I will get close ups of the two of you in the air." Alex responded.
"This is beyond great Supergirl! You must love to fly! I always wished I could!"
Kara nods and grins at the teenager, "yes I do, I find it to be a free feeling, just me in the sky listening to what's going on in the city below." She lowers herself nice and easy closer to Alex.
Alex snaps over 10 pics of the two in the air. "Got a nice gallery for you." She told her while landing. Tina placed her feet on the ground, once again swooning; she gave Kara a huge hug. "Thank you. I am going to have them all developed and put on my walls." She actually teared up looking at her idol.
Kara gives her a small kiss on the top of her head before rubbing her head.
"Supergirl has to go patrol for bad guys. But I am sure she'll say hi when she sees you again." Alex told her gently ushering her away.
"Thank you again Supergirl!" She ran off beyond delighted with her experience.
She sighs as she folds her arms across her chest. "I almost forgot how good that feels... guess I've been away and dwelling and also cooped up," Kara looks at Alex while waving to Tina.
"You just made her decade Kara." Alex smirked ushering her into the waiting DEO van.
"J'onn has your twin back at the DEO. What in hell made her take off like that?" She handed Kara a water bottle. "I had them make a stop." She told her thinking of her sister. A take out container of pot stickers was placed in her lap. Along with a plastic fork for Kara to inhale b them with.
Kara takes it and chugs down half of it, "it was my fault," she looks at Alex. Frowning, "I asked if she still has an Alex on her Earth. She said no... that she couldn't talk about her and left."
"Hmmm. That kind of reaction? I would say she did something to the other me..." She smirked, picking up her container of pot stickers as well. "I ordered you a double batch figuring you might be hungry."
Kara raises her eye brows, already half way done with her first batch. Chewing and swallowing, "angry... I don't think I'll learn about that one," she chugs the last of the water down. "Did Dr. Livingston say anything?" She starts to down the second half of her first batch.
"Yes... unfortunately he has diagnosed her as clinically depressed. Good news for you though, as long as you come to him once a week, and try to get back to the dating scene he has cleared you for duty. He is on me to socialize more too. So it's not you. He thinks socializing will help work through the emotional pain."
"Are you okay? I know you feel bad that you couldn't help your angry twin. That's not on you though Kar. Remember my speech about not being able to save everyone? Well now that apparently includes her."
Kara nods, happy to hear that bit of news. "Maybe more time with the fans?" She smirks at Alex. She closes her eyes as she finishes the first batch of pot stickers and gladly chugs down on the next water bottle. Wiping her mouth, she looks down, "I was..." Kara looks at Alex. "I was dealing with it when Tina approached. I was..." she looks up at the ceiling of the van. "Feeling angry at realizing I couldn't help her. I finally realized that, but I started to feel everything else from the past week."
She handed her two more bottles of water. "My thirsty Kryptonian." She hugged her sitting beside her in the back seat.
"I think he is right about Lena. Spend more time with her. Maybe you will meet a decent guy through her circles."
She wraps her arm around Alex and gives her a gentle squeeze. Raising her eye brows, "I guess I'll take the advice, maybe take a fly by her office." Kara looks at Alex, "what about you?"
"I am on light duty. So the van is heading back to the DEO. Maybe you can arrange a meet up with Lena tonight... that is if the city doesn't need Supergirl."
Kara shakes her head, "I meant for the dating life," she gives her a little nudge. Nodding, "I'll send her a text, I should probably go on patrol," she looks at the second box while drinking her water. "I'll have those tonight."
"Okay. I'll put em in the fridge for you. You can pick em up at the DEO. You want to fly now?" She told the driver to pull over.
"Yeah... I feel the need to be in the sky, just for me," Kara smiles, "you know we need to get back to focusing on you and not me." She opens the door and steps out.
"See you back at base when you ever decide to come back." She smirked knowing her sister spends hours in the sky and felt jealous.
"Love you," Kara whispers before closing the door and in seconds takes off into the sky.
They headed back to the DEO without the Girl of Steel.
General Kara woke up pinned down all over again. She looked around her and saw the thick straps over her this time as well. She growled, vainly pulling on them but getting weak rapidly due to the red sun lamp beating down on her. She shouted angrily to be allowed loose.
J'onn steps into the room, "you're awake, how're you feeling?" His arms crossed and looking at her sternly.
"How do you think I feel!" She spat angrily.
Raising his eye brows, "we had an arrangement and you took off, again. We're trying to help you and you are easily angered. What was it about Alex that set you off?" He asks curious. "And I made sure to not put the cuffs on you; I thought you'd appreciate not being in pain."
"Don't do me any favours Director!" She snarled. "I thought you liked me? Why the gifts the ice cream the praise? I never agreed to stay! I have told you all along I don't belong here. Keeping me pinned against my will is not right!" She struggled that much more, but the red sun emitter was draining her powers rapidly. "Why are you doing this to me?" She wept openly as she couldn't shield her face due to the restraints.
"I was under the impression you didn't feel your husband was up to the task of fixing your Earth. That you would be stuck here, and therefore I set out to be getting you accustom to our city. Unless you have another way of getting back to your Earth, you are stuck here... it is not a matter of you agreeing to stay or not. It is the facts I've been seeing and given by you," he watches her closely.
"Like our own Kara, we prefer her not to be taking off angry... She was once influenced by Red Kryptonite, it took her a while to regain the trust of Earths people. And I'm not willing to jeopardize that, if you stick to your word... and I mean stick to it I'll consider removing your restraints. But," he moves close to her, "you need to control your anger."
"I want to leave! I should not be a prisoner here. Why won't you let me leave?" She seethed, still with tears falling down her cheeks.
He places his hand onto her forehead, "until I know you are not a danger and have plans in place to figure out what you can do on our Earth instead of stating-" he hears a bizarre noise coming from somewhere behind him.
He pulls his sidearm and spins around, "someone there? Identify yourself!" He orders.
"Whether my husband manages to fix our world or not... I have no plans on staying here indefinitely!"
J'onn steps out from her room and scans the area till a door opens. "Hands in the air!" He barks and out of the bathroom steps Oliver with his hands up.
"Sorry, you can't totally control where you appear," Oliver comments wearing full combat gear and carrying his weapons. "Where's my wife?"
We're coming to the end, there's only a few chapters left! We enjoy reading what you think ^_^
