While Kara was on her way to the D.E.O for medical check up, she was still enduring horrible pain. Her painful screams would make Silver Banshee cringe over in pain whilst holding her bleeding ears. Finally, someone gave Kara some medicine that would ease the pain greatly while letting Kara slowly relax.
Kara relaxed so much, she had fallen asleep.
When Kara woke up she felt someone rubbing her shoulders. With her eyes still shut, she muttered out the name of whom she assumed the hand belonged too. "Barry..."
"Alex."
Kara's eyes opened and she saw Alex standing over her with a faint smile on her face. "Alex?"
"Hey sleeping beauty." She chuckled. "Sleep good?"
Kara's mind was still a little out of whack. The last thing she remembered was fighting Valcana and Frezna. "Where am I?"
"The D.E.O. We got you here about an hour ago, after your fight with Valcana and Freza," Alex told her. "You were bleeding a lot when you got here."
Kara's mind slowly remembered the events. She shot herself up from the bed and yelled, "Baby!?"
"Shhh, shhh! Baby's fine," Alex said. Kara sighed in relief. "We did some tests. Nothing bad was happening. Some women just bleed."
"That much?"
"Well if baby's Mama wasn't fighting like baby's auntie told her so, several times." Alex told her. "You have to stay here over night, but you should be fine."
"About about work?"
Alex smiled. "J'onn is taking over. He promised to not mess up anything like the last time he had to go undercover as you while you in La La world."
"Okay." Kara said.
"Want me to call B?"
"No," Kara sighed. "He's super busy over there. Both lives. I'll tell him later."
Over the next couple of hours, Kara felt lousy but better. Everything in her body was healthy, baby was okay and everything seemed vaguely fine. Alex checked in on her once in a while, bringing her bagels and a cheeseburger for dinner. "Did you call Barry yet?" Alex asked.
"Hmm, not yet. Tomorrow." Kara said.
Alex looked at Kara strangely. "Why would you wait until tomorrow?"
"He's really busy and all that busy stuff is having him stressed." Kara explained. "I'd hate to be the one who adds more to stress to him."
"Kara, he'd wanna know about this." Alex said. "If you don't tell him, I will."
"Fine." Kara said. "I'll call him when we're done eating."
"Cool." Alex said.
Kara smiled as she bit into another burger. "So, I bled like crazy because why?"
"Women sometimes bleed a bit when they're pregnant. But all that fighting that you did with two people, your body just bled a lot more. I think it's kind rare to bleed that much."
"Gosh, guess I have to stop fighting then." Kara laughed. Alex didn't, which Kara took notice of. "What?"
"About that," Alex began.
"Oh come on Alex, I've been fine for the past seven months. I've been fine for nearly a whole year."
"Kara, what if something happened to you?" Alex asked her sternly. "What if something happened to your child?"
"Baby's protective, remember? The sac thing is keeping baby safe." Kara told her.
"Kara, that's not going to protect baby all the time." Alex told her. "Things can happen to the child before they're born!"
Kara was startled a little bit by Alex's sudden anger. Alex had never been this angry before ever. Why was she so aggravated with Kara all of a sudden? "Alex, are you okay?"
Alex lowered her anger, but still spoke sternly. "I'm fine. Just tell Barry ASAP or I will. Got it?"
Wow, bossy much? "Fine." Kara said.
"One more thing. I might as well tell you before someone else does."
"What?"
"It's about the fighting." Alex began. "J'onn and I decided something and we're risking it for the next two months."
"What?" Kara asked. Alex frowned and her body expressed uncertainty. "What is it, Alex?"
"We took some of your powers away."
"WHAT!?" Kara yelled. "YOU DID WHAT TO ME!?"
"Kara, please calm down. Please," Alex said as she tried to soothe the blonde. "We just did this for you."
"What did you take!?"
"Flying, strength and speed."
"Ugh! Why!?"
"So that you wouldn't have a reason to fight those girls and risk your live or baby's life again."
"But why!?" Kara yelled out again. "There was no reason for me to have those taken."
"I just gave you reason."
"Yeah, but, that's not the point." Kara whined. "I swear I won't get anyone killed."
"Kara, listen to me," Alex held her hand. "You can't do everything. You may be Supergirl, but you are first and first most Kara. Zor-El. Danvers...Allen," She winked, making Kara giggle. "Kara can't do everything."
Kara rolled her eyes. "But I can do this, I really can do this."
Alex sighed. "No, you can't. You can't do everything. Nobody can. Your cousin can't."
Kara had no energy to argue. She just accepted the answer and dealt with it. "Fine." Kara told her. "Can I sleep now?"
"Sure." Alex said. "Sleep tight."
Kara pretended to sleep. She was still angry and annoyed with a lot of things.
