Why is your arm all floppy?!

- enjoy :)

It was 11pm. Eliza and Jeramiah were about to pop off to bed and Alex wanted to go out. Not like a rebellious teenager out but more like 'my sister is an alien and she can fly' out. "Kara. Pst. Kara!" Alex whisper-yelled. Kara opened her eyes and looked at Alex with confusion and frustration.

"What is it Alex. Eliza and Jeramiah will be mad if they know you're still awake," Kara asked. Alex hid a smirk and opened the window.

"Come on. Let's go to the beach," she said with a now prominent grin. Kara debated it all in her head and decided that it wasn't bad. She got up out of bed and they both quickly changed into shirts and T-shirt's before climbing into the roof.

"This wasn't my idea if we get caught," Kara said suddenly. Alex scoffed.

"As if you'd get the blame anyway," she said incredulously. There was an awkward silence then so Alex mumbled "sorry" and then Kara held her and they shot off.

"Either way. We are both dead if they catch us. Elizas rath of fury is almost as frightening as …as my mother's," Kara said, a sad look casting over her face but gone in an instant. Alex tried to rub her back but it was a little hard as they had already taken off.

And Alex didn't feel like falling any time soon.

They landed on the beach and Alex immediately lay down on the cold sand. Kara watched her new sister like she had a third head. "Why are you laying in the sand?" she asked.

"Because it's nice and cold," Alex replied. She had shut her eyes and was loving the breeze that was going on on the beach. She loved the breeze. "Come on, you try. Kara," Alex said as she tried to pull the Kryptonian on the floor.

"But it's so small and it gets in your clothes," Kara protested, she learnt that the hard way. Alex rolled her eyes again and surprised her sister by sweeping her legs out from under her. Kara yelled out in shock and landed on the floor. It momentarily winded her. "Alex!" she yelled.

Alex started to laugh hysterically and stood up to avoid the playful punches off her sister. Kara got up to and began to chase Alex around the beach. They soon got to where people hunted for crabs and Alex climbed ok the rocks. "Alex, be careful!" warned Kara. She turned her back for a minute as she thought she heard somebody. Somebody familiar. Kara brushed it off and turned back to Alex just as the fourteen year old slipped and fell inbetween the rocks. She screamed in pain and wouldn't stop. "ALEX!" Kara yelled. She floated over to her sister and found that Alex was trapped. She grabbed the hood of her sisters jacket and tried with all her might to lift her up; Kara managed to do it at the end but they went crashing the short distance onto the main beach.

Alex groaned and cried with pain as she held her arm. "Owww," she whined. Kara kneeled over to Alex and inspected Alex's hurt arm. Alex hissed in pain and recoiled her injured body part when Kara gently took it. Kara immediately let go and looked worried.

"Alex what's wrong?" she asked in concern. "Why's your arm all floppy?!" Alex didn't answer. Instead, she held her arm with pain flashing on her face. Alex had tears leaking out her eyes and her breaths came in short, pained gasps. "Alex! I'll-I'll go get Eliza!" Kara said.

"Nuh-no! Kar-rah!" Alex cried as she grabbed Kara's foot. "Don't lea-leave. I'm scared!" she started to cry and hit her head on the sand in pain as she scrunched her eyes shot.

Kara looked troubled as she looked back and forth from the direction of home and Alex. Thinking quick, she yanked her jacket off. "Alex. This is going to hurt," Kara said with glassy eyes. Alex took a deep breath and closed her eyes before taking a deep, shuddering breath.

"Oh-kay," Alex whimpered as Kara went to touch her but the alien knew she couldn't stop. She sat Alex up gently and Kara wrapped the arms of the grey sweater around Alex's neck in a double knot and made sure her injured arm was resting nicely in the cradle now made from the body of the sweater. Alex winced during it all but sighed in relief when her arm was rested.

Kara helped her stand and then picked her up bridal style and getting in the air. "Ahh! Kara gen-gentle!" scolded the injured girl. Kara looked at her with sorry written across her whole head and she flew off— slowly.

Kara landed at their window and put Alex down. She then climbed in and helped Alex in. Alex collapsed onto Kara's bed and squeezed her eyes shut again as pain took over. Kara isn't exactly a smooth flight; there was a lot of turbulence. "Kara. You're gon-gonna have to go in-in mom and dads room," Alex said. Kara looked nervous but nodded and left the room.

"Eliza. Jeramiah," Kara called tentatively as she knocked on the door. She knocked again and heard a tired come in from Eliza.

Shuffling in, Kara stood next to Eliza and fought the edge to cry at what she was about to say. "What is it sweetie?" Eliza asked as she became more alert.

"Me and Alex snuck out. Alex is hurt," she said quickly; biting her lip and messing with her hands. Eliza became even more concerned and turned to her husband.

"Jeramiah. Alex is hurt!" Eliza said as she stood up. Jeramiah woke up and followed Kara and his wife down to the sisters room where Alex was desperately trying not to cry.

"Mom. Dad. It hurts," cried Alex. Her eyes were red and puffy and Kara immediately felt like she was intruding. Despite the fact she had been living with them for three weeks already, she feels like she doesn't belong here. "Make it stop," she begged.

Kara walked over and sat at the end of the bed. "We went to the beach and Alex slipped on the rocks," Kara explained quietly; shame filling her. What if she wasn't an alien? They would still be at the beach and Alex would be in so much pain without her parents. Just an orphan for company.

"Kara, can you use your x-ray vision?" asked Eliza. She was in mama-mode so whatever wrongdoings her girls had done can wait.

Kara rubbed the back of her neck. "I can't just… you know. X-Ray. I haven't controlled it yet," Kara replied nervously. Jeramiah crouched down.

"Kara. Please try," he begged. Kara got closer to Alex and stared really hard at her sisters arm. "Anything?"

"Urm.. she has a freckle," Kara replied with a nervous laugh. That even made Alex laugh but she stopped when it aggravated her arm. Kara tried it again. Really focused. She saw it! "Woah. There's a-a long bone, I'm guessing, and it's cracked. There's a shorter piece that is not attached to it and it's at the side," Kara explained as best she could.

"Point to where the fracture is," Eliza said. Kara pointed to the middle of Alex's forearm. Eliza sighed and rubbed her face. "We are going to have to go to the hospital," she revealed.

Alex pulled a face but she was too tired to say anything. Kara didn't have an opinion; she didn't really know what a hospital was. Jeramiah looked knackered, and Eliza looked frustrated and concerned. Jeramiah got close to Alex and pulled her in for a gentle hug. Alex relished in this feeling. After all, it had been a while since they had been close like this. He had been taking his time to help Kara deal with her powers.

Kara got a coat on and the two adults helped Alex get a coat around her shoulders. "Do you want me to sit with you in the back Alex?" Jeramiah asked her daughter. Alex nodded enthusiastically. She turned and caught Kara's sad face. Something was bothering her little sister. Alex but her lip and turned back to her dad.

"Actually, I want to sit with Kara please," Alex said. Jeramiah (and Kara) looked surprised but they got in the car. Alex winced, softly cried out and shook slightly as she tried to get in the car without hurting her arm, but she got there in the end.

A few minutes into the drive and Alex turned to her sister, she had tear tracks down her cheeks. "What's up buttercup?" Alex asked quietly.

"This is my fault. If I had said no then you wouldn't have gotten hurt," Kara whispered back sadly.

Alex shook her head. "I would have made you take me Kara. It's all my fault. I knew the rocks were slippery," Kara have her a small smile and Alex rested her head on Kara's shoulder.

"I'm meant to be looking after you, Miss Broken Arm," joked Kara.

"You are. You are my pillow," Alex yawned and closed her eyes. Kara stared at her older sister and smiled at her sleeping form. "S'op s'arin'. I's c'eepy," Alex mumhled. Kara smirked and rested her head on her sisters and fell asleep too.

At the hospital, Eliza went to speak as she turned to look at her quiet girls. "Honestly. You two wake us up at midnight and you've both fallen asleep," she mused incredulously. "Have you seen this Jerami-"

A soft snore was heard from next to her and she turned to see her husband was fast asleep too. Deep breath in. Remember you love them and it would be very wrong to murder them. Although we are outside a hospital, Eliza thought. She shook her head and woke her husband.
