Lena felt something warm on the top of her head. It was nice and comforting, and from her half-asleep state, she felt something gentle running through strands of her hair. Blinking away the sleepiness fog in her brain, Lena turned her head. She'd forgotten she had fallen asleep with her head next to Kara's side, her bottom half still in the chair. Opening her eyes, Lena lifted her head.

She gasped quietly. "Kara!"

Kara was smiling down at her, her hands stroking Lena's hair. "Hi," she whispered.

Lena touched Kara's hand and squeezed it gently, flashing her a smile. "How are you feeling? Do you need anything?"

"Oh, I'm alright," she shrugged.

"What about pain medicine? A glass of water? More pillows?"

"Lena," Kara chuckled and then immediately winced, her breath seeming to pull away from her.

"Are you alright?" Lena sat up and switched her position so she could hold Kara's hand with both of hers.

"Yeah, yeah," Kara exhaled, a hand over her abdomen. "I just kind of feel like I'm missing a part of me." A grin broke out on her face.

"Oh, you're reveling in that one, aren't you?" Lena shook her head, but she couldn't help the smirk that lifted the corners of her lips.

"Come on, that was a good pun," Kara sighed. "Admit it."

"It was alright," Lena rolled her eyes.

Kara looked over at her right to where Alex was still sleeping. She slid her hand from her abdomen and across the sheets to Alex's hand. She wrapped her slim fingers around Alex's palm, squeezing gently. Alex stirred, inhaling quickly. Then her head snapped up, her eyes wide yet groggy.

"Kara!"

"I'm right here, Alex," Kara whispered.

Alex's body visibly relaxed, a deep sigh filling her chest. She patted her hand. "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine," Kara grinned weakly.

"Do you feel any better? The sunlamps have been on all night."

"Well, I don't fell like I'm dying anymore, so that's a plus."

"Kara—"

"No, I am feeling better. A little weak and in pain, but getting there," she said.

Alex sighed again and then leaned back, her hand finding her short, auburn hair. As she sat back, Maggie burst into the room. She looked disheveled, her eyes puffy, but she was dressed in jeans, a sweatshirt, and boots.

"Maggie," Alex said. "What are you doing here?"

"You didn't call," she gasped, hitting Alex in the arm with the back of her hand. "It's three in the morning, Danvers. When you didn't come home or answer your phone, I got worried."

Alex closed her eyes and hung her head back, sighing. "I completely forgot to call. I'm so sorry, babe."

"What happened?" Maggie asked, scanning the three women in the room. "If there's a good reason, maybe I won't make you sleep on the couch, Danvers," she tilted her head and smirked.

"I died," Kara said.

Maggie looked as though she just choked, her eyes widening. "You—what?"

"Well, technically I died because my heart stopped beating and I stopped breathing, but I think I'm doing pretty well for a dead girl," Kara giggled, clearly enjoying her sense of humor.

Lena rolled her eyes and put a hand over Kara's face, shushing her and ignoring when Kara gasped a quiet 'hey.' "She got shot, Maggie. Yes, her heart stopped, but I got it beating again and now she'll be fine."

"Oh my God," Maggie gasped, a hand over her mouth. "Thank God you're alright, Kara," she sighed quietly, slowly shaking her head.

"Am I off the hook?" Alex asked, scrunching her nose.

"For now," Maggie grinned. She walked over behind Alex and draped her arms over her shoulders. "Next time this happens, please call me. I may be able to help."

"I will," Alex kissed Maggie's palm. "I just forgot. With everything that happened and it happened so fast that I didn't look at my phone. I'm sorry."

"It's alright," Maggie kissed Alex's cheek. "I'm just glad everyone here is okay."

"Come give me a hug," Kara pouted, reaching out to Maggie. Maggie smiled and walked over, bending down to embrace the younger Danvers sister. She tried not to squeeze too hard because she didn't know how healed Kara was. "Thanks for coming, Maggie."

"Anytime, Kara."

"And Alex," Kara pointed a pale finger at her, "I'm starved."

"It's three in the morning," Alex tilted her head, folding her arms across her chest. "I'm not getting you food at three in the morning."

"I agree," Lena said, planting a soft kiss on Kara's temple. "What you need is sleep."

Kara exhaled obnoxiously and looked up at the ceiling. "Uggghhhh," she groaned. "Fiiine. I'll wait five more hours."

"Thank you," Lena smiled, taking Kara's thin hand again.

"No, don't sit down," Kara's brow furrowed. "You need to go home and get some rest. I'll be fine here on my own."

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"No!" Kara chuckled. "No, of course not. But I care about you and you need to get some sleep."

"Don't try and put my argument back on me, Kara Danvers," Lena raised her eyebrows. "You will lose."

"Please go home and rest?" Kara tried again.

"Nope. No way," Lena shook her head defiantly. "Where you are, I am too."

Kara's chest flooded with warmth at her words. She couldn't help but smile. She squeezed Lena's hand, leaning back against her pillows. "Thank you," she whispered.

"Always."
