Chapter 12

When M'gann and Kate landed inside a corner of Lena's lab, the Martian did not hang around, knowing that J'onn should not be left alone. Nia saw them and quickly came over to Kate. She was no longer wearing her uniform and Kate guessed that Lena must have lent her some regular clothes.

"You're looking for Kara?" She asked.

"Figured there was trouble afoot when she didn't report back to the Tower. J'onn tracked her here. Alex said that Kara wasn't answering her phone," Kate explained.

"That's because she's assisting Doctor Rodgers. He used to work at the DEO," Nia said. The human-Naltorian hybrid led her over near the containment unit where Brainy was. Lena was standing by watching them carefully and retrieving whatever they needed, feeding it through the mini-airlock on the unit.

"What's going on?" Kate wanted to know.

"Doctor Rodgers is attempting a tricky procedure. The typical medicine that we use for radiation poisoning isn't working as well in his Coluanian system. So the good doctor is attempting to flush his system out before then injecting the medicine directly into his arteries,"

"Better spread of the medicine to help defeat the radiation," Kate seemed to understand it.

"Yes but he's also doubling the dose of medicine. Since Brainy was able to withstand the larger amount of radiation before having major organ failure, he should be able to handle more of the medicine," Lena was being quite clinical but that did nothing for Nia's nerves. Kate put her arm around her, just to reassure Nia that they were all there for her and for Brainy.

"Kara is assisting since she can stand next to Brainy without needing a special suit like Doctor Rodgers," the Luthor told them.

"Well she was freaking everyone out. Alex showed up at the Tower. She said it was because Kara wasn't answering her phone but I think her sisterly concerns overrode her concern for her broken ribs," the Gothamite said.

"The best thing for her is to lie down and rest," Lena was concerned now.

"I have a feeling that when it comes to each other, the Danvers sisters don't really think clearly. Most people would kill for that," Kate told them; her own sister issues were definitely an example that no one hoped for.

"I would agree," Nia said. After the explosion her sister had, the two had not been talking. Kara tried to help but there was only so much that the Kryptonian could do. Most of what needed to be done had to be done by Nia and Maeve.

"Yes well I wish my brother wasn't a maniacal narcissist but here we are," Lena said.

"Good to know I have company in the screwed up family department," Kate shook her head.

"Now that Kara has brought you into her circle, you will receive more than you can possibly give. She may love Alex more than anyone here but do not doubt that she loves us all," Nia spoke up.

"I did notice that about her," the brunette nodded. Their chit-chat was interrupted by Doctor Rodgers.

"We've done all we can do. Now Brainy must do the rest," he said.

"Thank you. Thank all of you," Nia told them.

"Of course. When was the last time you had something to eat?" Kara wanted to know as she headed for the large airlock, the only way in and out of the containment unit.

"I made sure she had a bagel this morning," Lena said.

"Yeah I think she needs more than that," Kate admitted.

"I think we call could," Kara told them as she headed for the radiation shower.

"Who's buying?" Doctor Rodgers wanted to know. He had exited the airlock and was heading for the radiation shower as well. Before anyone could say anything else, J'onn busted in on the comms.

"There's a Lexosuit sighting down in the park. Civilians are in danger but it is probably a distraction," he said.

"Send M'gann to get me. We'll handle the Lexosuit. Supergirl, head to J'onn. That tube…" Kate said. The blonde nodded and was out a nearby window. M'gann was there in an instant and Kate disappeared with her.

"Some things never change do they?" Rodgers asked.

"No they do not," Lena said.
