Chapter 35

"C'mon Kara it's been a week" Alex tried to cover the moan in her voice but Kara still caught it

The blonde shook her head "Alex please don't moan at me" she sat back down in her pjs "I have continued to do all my duties as Supergirl, just let Kara Danvers do what she wants to"

Alex sat down next to her sister, sighing a little "I would if she didn't mope around her apartment" the blonde glared at her "I understand that Lena meant more to you than most realised but this isn't healthy for you, you need to get out there and live you life"

"Alex" Kara said cutting in to her sister's words "In the past three months I have lost two of the people I have cared for, both by my own hand, how am I supposed to get over that and move on?"

There was a moment silence as she thought it over "I don't want to get over Lena… I just want to get her back, I want to hold her in my arms again" she exhaled and fell back against the couch

Alex looped an arm around her shoulders "I know you do"

Kara leant her head on her older sister's shoulder, she felt the familiar sting of tears behind her eyes but she had cried all the tears she had.

Their embrace was interrupted by Alex's phone buzzing, she fished it out of her pocket and answered it, her features growing serious

"Yes of course" she said before hanging up "You up sis" she said hopping up ad glancing down at Supergirl

Kara nodded and stood speeding into her outfit and returning to Alex faster than she could blink

"Where am I heading?" she asked

Alex shifted slightly "L-Corp"

Kara's heart sank a little

"There's been an explosion in their lab and there is people still trapped inside" Alex added "Winn doesn't think Lena is there"

Kara nodded and flew out of the window

She landed outside of L-Corp where already fire crews and police were getting people out and cordoning off the surrounding area, Kara went straight past them and entered the building where the alarms were still blaring. She made her way quickly through the lob and down the emergency stairs to the lab

Kara come in Kara

"Go ahead Alex" Kara replied

The police are going through the log in records to see if everyone is out, but you should assume there are still people inside

"Copy that" she said as she continued to descend

She came to a heavy set of metal double doors, which required some sort of key card access, Kara ignored this and kicked the doors open with one swift kick, her eyes scanning the room, her eyes falling on a large silo the had ruptured but there was no other sign of danger

"Is anybody here?" she called out, but no answer returned

Kara decided to continue her way through the scientific maze of machines and vials, she wondered what Lena had them building down here, she prayed it wasn't another alien detection device due to what happened between them.

The blonde strained her hearing, trying to listen past all the noise of the countless machines and commotion upstairs, she thought she could hear a steady heartbeat, but she couldn't be certain, she moved forward in search of the noise

Kara?

"Go ahead Alex" she muttered while still trying to listen

The names have been cross referenced and all are accounted for, you can come back and allow the specialists to take care of the rupture

"I'm still hearing a heartbeat down here, can you get them to double check" Kara could definitely hear someone else down here, she could hear breathing now, it was steady and calm which struck her as odd in this situation with the sirens blaring and the evacuation taking place.

Kara used her xray vision to pinpoint a figure, crouched in a corner, holding a box close to their chest, Kara didn't know what to make of this so she decided to go in silently, if all the personnel had been accounted for then who was hiding in the lab, choosing not to evacuate with the rest, no, this was not right.

Kara crept forward, keeping an eye on the figure

Kara?

Kara didn't respond, she didn't want to disrupt, who she could now see was a man

Kara if you can hear me, they have double checked, there shouldn't be anyone else in that building, Kara proceed with caution… KARA!

The blonde ignored her sisters voice in her ear, this guy shouldn't be here, especially not in the lab. What if he was something to do with Lena's kidnapping, Kara couldn't believe that this was a coincidence and it made her angry.

With a burst of speed she had the man pinned by his collar up against the wall

"Who are you?" she demanded

The man smiled as he dropped the box, it cracked open revealing a green glow, Kara instantly felt ill, she tried to get away but her legs buckled beneath her as she collided hard with the floor, gasping for air she couldn't get.

The man straightened out his collar, he used his foot to roll Supergirl over so she could see his face, she squatted down next to her, bringing the harsh glowing kryptonite close to the blonde's face

"I'm a delivery man" he said glaring down at her "And it's time we hit the road"

He rolled her head to the side, his fingers reaching for the bud inside her ear "You won't be needing this Supergirl" he stood and crushed it under his foot before , drawing back the lump of green kryptonite and slamming it against Kara's head, knocking her out cold. The mysterious man grabbed a hold of her wrist and proceeded to drag the unconscious super into the shadows.
