Lena walked around the DEO for ten minutes trying to find Winn, J'onn and even Kara.
They weren't in the med bay, which is what made Lena worry the most. Eventually, she strode up to a lab door, light was lit up.
She saw Winn and J'onn there, over a huge tube. She saw cables suspended in the air, and her mind wondered.
She opened the glass door, and Winn looked up with goggles on his face, wearing surgical gloves, "Miss Luthor-"
"Lena, please." Lena hissed, as she strode in. She crossed her arms as she stopped two meteres away from the tub.
"What's going on and where is Kara?"
Winn frowned, he thought she knew, "I thought someone would have told you..."
"I'm a Luthor and she is a Super, I hardly think people would keep me in the know when it comes to things about her or Superman." She then glared at him, "I'm staying in this spot because you clearly need space from...Whatever you are doing." She said, waving her hand.
She noticed how slimy Winn's hand was and frowned further, "I'm guessing...Whatever that is...Kara is...in that tub."
Winn looked at J'onn and then nodded, "Lena, come here." He said, waving her over.
Lena reluctantly walked over.
When she looked in the tub, her breath was taken.
The wires suspended from the ceiling had ends of velcro straps that were around Kara's ankles and her wrists.
Winn and J'onn watched the Luthor carefully.
Her jaw hung ever so slightly, and she had even paled.
"Are you okay?" Winn asked softly.
Lena took it all in. Kara, Supergirl, was beneath a thick white liquid. It was opaque and Lena could make out the naked pale flesh that levitated beneath the substance.
She felt sick.
Her mind went fuzzy, clouded.
Winn saw her eyes were stinging with tears, "I know it is a lot to take in..." He soothed, "But the sun lamps, our usual method of healing her...That wasn't working...Alex kept this liquid if ever she ended up in a position like this..."
"And what is this liquid?" Lena gasped, her voice trembled slightly.
"It is like an amniotic fluid...But Alien...we all know how it works in a human body when growing babies...It kind of has the same effect on Kryptonians but it also has the ability to heal..." He kept his voice low and saw how relieved the Luthor looked.
"She will be okay?" Lena asked, still not taking her eyes off of the comatosed blonde.
"She will." Winn smiled sadly.
"So how uh..." Lena cleared her throat, "She knows how to breathe on air, so how isn't she drowning?"
"It's the effect of the fluid...Kind of resets the brain and make it believe that uh...That she doesn't know how to breathe on earth and so it does the work for her."
"Like respirators."
"Like them." Winn smiled, as J'onn came out of his trance.
"Her brain is safe...She will be okay...Mr Schott, we will leave her here for 48 hours and after that alloted time, she will be back under the sun lamps." J'onn spoke, before noticing Lena, "Miss Luthor." He smiled, "Kara will be okay."
Lena nodded, "Thank you."
"We have to leave her now..." Winn said to Lena.
"Can I just have a moment, please?" Lena almost hissed, but was soft.
"Of course." Winn said, before leaving her alone.
After the door shut, Lena felt a tear fall down her cheek.
Lena leaned on the side of the tub and broke down. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she mourned Kara, even though she hadn't gone, she still missed her light and happiness.
Tears dripped into the fluid and they soaked through it. Those tears shed by a Luthor, now belonged to a Super.
As did her heart.
That wasn't going anywhere.
