Alex and J'onn rushed into the DEO medbay to find Eliza and Jeremiah standing between Kara's and Mon el's beds.
"What happened?" Alex asked.
"Kara started to gasp for air then she started seizing. We had to intubate her. Mon el soon had the same episode, but we didn't need to intubate him." Eliza said with tears in her eyes.
Alex glanced at her little sister. Kara was pale and her eyes were closed. There were additional wires attached to her in addition to a tube coming into her mouth and down her throat. Mon el was also pale and asleep but had anoxygen mask strapped to his face instead of a ventilator.
"Where are you on the cure?" J'onn asked Eliza and Jeremiah.
"Close but we still can't figure out the right combination." Jeremiah said.
Suddenly Alex looked up from Kara's face, they could tell an idea was forming in her mind.
"What are you thinking?" Jeremiah asked his eldest.
"We have to call Lena. She's an expert in this field. We might not have Lillian at the moment but Lena has proved to be better than her mom. I can't believe I didn't think about this before." Alex said.
Eliza hugged her daughter, both seeking comfort and giving it." The important thing is tamhat you thought about is now. " she told her.
" I'll call Lena. " Alex said then grabbed her phone and stepped in the hallway and dialed Lena's number.
"Alex I've been trying to call you since yesterday. How're Kara and Mon el? Is there anything I can do to help?" Lena's voice welcomed her.
"As a matter of fact yes. Lena we need your help in finding the cure." Alex said.
"I'll be at the DEO in 10 minutes."Lena told her then ended the phone call.
Exactly 10 minutes later, Lena marched into the medbay. She had a mask of seriousness and fury on her face.
She took one look at Kara and the mask melted and for a split second Alex thought she was going to cry but then it resurfaced and she turned to Alex.
"Show me what you've got." she told her.
The 4 of them retreated to the lab where Eliza and Jeremiah showed Lena their progress.
"We still can't identify the write combination of magnisium, bismuth and gadolinium." Jeremiah told Lena as she looked into the microscope.
"Here it is. We need to increase the gadolinium isotope by 7% and decrease the activity of magnesium by burning." Lena stated.
Eliza got out the Brunsen burner and Jeremiah the isotope solution and the 3 of them set to work. Meanwhile, Alex went back and sat next to Kara who had woken up and after fighting the ventilator, calmed down and was looking at her with big blue eyes.
"Hey there sweet thing. I promise we'll find a cure. Lena is in the lab helping mom and dad right now." she assured her sister.
Kara's eyes flitted to Mon el
"Mon el's okay for now too. You're both stable." Alex said, knowing what her sister was thinking.
A single tear rolled down Kara's cheek and Alex wiped it away
"Hey it's okay. What's wrong?" she asked softly.
Kara pointed to the tube in her throat then the needles on her arm and hand. Then she pointed to her body and Alex knew she was telling her that she was in pain and it ached her heart to see her little sister in such pain and not be able to do anything.
Alex stroked her hair.
"Hang on just a little longer okay Kar. Hang on for me. I love you." she told her.
Kara nodded then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Alex sat in the chair next to Kara's bed and drifted off too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex woke up to the blaring of Kara's and Mon el's heart rate machine.
" They're seizing!" Jeremiah yelled.
"We have to try the cure!" Lena said running towards them
"But we haven't fully tested it yet." Eliza said.
Just then a beeeeeeep sound could be heard from both monitors. Lena snatched the syringes and marched to Kara's bed with tears in her eyes
"I don't care if we haven't tested it. I'm not loosing my best friend today. It's our only chance." she told them.
Eliza and Jeremiah nodded, tears streaming down Eliza's cheeks. Lena injected the cure in both Kara's and Mon el's IV bags and waited.
"Come on Kara you can do it." Alex whispered.
Then the beeeep sounds were replaced by beep beep beep sounds.
Both their hearts were back to normal
"Vitals all look normal. Their temperatures are dropping to normal!" Eliza said.
Alex smiled and hugged Lena
"Thank you Lena."
Lena hugged her back and closed her eyes as tears of relief streamed down her face.
"I'm just glad she's okay." she whispered.
Then they all waited for Kara and Mon el to wake up.
