Okay so this was a pretty important chapter overall. This is the turning point of the story in my opinion. I hope you all like it :)

Again I don't own Supergirl but i really wish I did at times haha

Chapter 5

Kara's POV

"LENA NO!" I screamed her name as the thug hit her on the side of the head and I watched as her body went limp. I felt more rage than I had felt in a long time when that happened. "I've always liked Lena, even when we were kids. She was always so nice to me. Lex and I used to joke that we would grow up and get married," the guy said as he looked down at Lena's limp body.

He brushed some hair out of her face. "Stop touching her. Put her down and fight me like a real man!" James snarled as he stepped forward. I rolled my eyes.

Typical of him. Has to challenge the other guy to prove he's the big guy in the room. The guy laughed and lifted Lena up into his arms. He pointed the gun at James, and I flew into James to knock him out of the way and whatever he shot me with before, hit me again, in the chest. I cried out and fell to the floor. "SUPERGIRL!" I heard a voice yell from behind me. It was Alex. The DEO had arrived. I tried to stand up, but whatever he hit me with hurt really good and I collapsed.

The man holding Lena put the gun to her head again. "Nobody comes any closer or I'll shoot her!"

Alex walked forwards. "No, you won't, if you did, your boss there wouldn't be too happy with you killing his sister, right?" Alex said calmly. He froze. "Also, unlike these two behind me, I don't give a shit about the girl you have there with you right now," she told me sounding like she was bored.

I knew Alex was just trying to screw with this guy. She actually does like Lena. Or she used to until everything fell apart.

Alex continued to walk towards the guy holding Lena. "Let her go and you will live, I'll personally see to it that you get a cell next to Lex if that helps," she offered. He glared at her angrily and then looked over at me and grinned.

"I think you have bigger problems than little old me here, your superhero there is hurt and with what I shot her with, she's going to have a problem getting better," he said. Alex glanced back at me and noticed I was still on the floor.

In the blink of an eye, Alex raised her gun and shot the guy in the shoulder. He screamed and dropped Lena to the floor. J'onn ran and tackled him to the ground hard. While James went to Lena.

I started trying to crawl over to where Lena was. "Whoa, slow down there you. You need to be taken back to the DEO," Alex said as she ran to my side. "No, I need to see her. I need to know she is okay," I said as Alex put her arm around my waist and helped me to my feet.

"Lena is coming back to the DEO with us. We need to make sure she is okay as well, so you'll see her there." I groaned and gave in. I let Alex lead me to a van they brought there, and she laid me in the back of it. James came around to the back as well and laid Lena in the back with me. I reached over and put my hand on her neck.

I needed to know she was okay. I felt her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief. Then I let the pain take over and I passed out.

Next thing I knew I was waking up in a bed at the DEO with a special IV in my arm. Winn was standing over me and when I turned my head, I saw Lena. She was standing at my side looking down at me.

"Supergirl, are you okay?" She asked in concern. "I should be asking you that question." I replied with a smile. She smiled at that and reached out to squeeze my shoulder.

Alex walked in at that moment and frowned at us. She came up and Winn moved out of her way. She leaned over and checked what I assume are my vitals. "How long was I out for?"

"Two days." Lena responded. I sat up quickly at those words. "Relax, its okay everything has been taken care of while you were out of it. The gun that guy used was filled with a diluted version of kryptonite and he shot you in the chest. It was pretty close to your heart," Alex told me.

I looked at her and realised how worried she must have been. "I'm okay Alex," I assured her. "I can't lose you," she said softly.

Lena's POV

Wow Alex really cares about Supergirl. I was worried too. I kept coming back to the DEO everyday. I even brought my laptop with me today, so I didn't have to leave again. I don't think that Alex was super happy to have me around though. But I didn't care. I needed Supergirl to be okay.

Winn was super nice. We talked a lot. Back before everything changed thanks to my falling out with Kara, he and I used to talk quite a bit. Probably helps that he's very smart and can keep up when I dork out and start talking about techy stuff.

"Get it now, why we needed to know where Lex was Lena?" Alex said coolly. I froze. I had been waiting for this to happen. Waiting for her to say something about Kara.

"Alex no don't do this right now," Supergirl told her. Alex ignored her. "That's not important right now," I answered stoically. Alex rolled her eyes as she moved to remove the IV that was in her arm.

"No, we are going to do this now," Alex said heatedly! I looked at Supergirl who was staring at the floor. "I was wrong to keep his location from you all… I admit that much," I said. It hurt to say that to Alex of all people, but I was wrong.

He could have really hurt Supergirl. I shouldn't have kept his location to myself. I'm still not pleased with the fact that Kara told Alex… however I think I might have to talk to her. "I'm not the one who you need to say that to," Alex snapped.

Supergirl shifted a little and her hair fell a bit in her face. When she looked up at me I froze.

Oh. My. God.

Kara is Supergirl. Supergirl is Kara Danvers.

How did I not see this before?

I gasped and took a step back.

Supergirl… I mean Kara, looked up at me and she knew. She knew I had figured it out. Her face paled instantly when she realised. Alex looked between the two of us. "What's going on?" She asked quietly.

"Lena… wait, let me explain please," Kara said as she stood up. I looked at her. How did I not realise it before? When the piece of hair fell into her face that's when it hit me because I had seen hair fall into Kara's face hundreds of times.

This is why I was always so comfortable with Supergirl. Why she brought me a sense of peace that I had only ever found when I was with Kara. It's because they are the same person.

"You… you kept this from me. For so long… the other night… when you came in as Supergirl and talked to me about… you…" I trailed off. Kara looked down at the ground.

"I was desperate Lena… you wouldn't answer my phone calls or texts… I needed to see you," she said and looked up at me. I didn't know what to say. On the one hand my best friend has been saving my life in more ways than one.

I noticed Alex slowly walk out of the room. "Kara," I said her name while looking at her in the super suit. She walked over to me so that she stood directly in front of me. "I'm sorry Lee," she whispered.

She used the nickname that only she is allowed to use for me. "Kara… you lied to me. You kept this from me. You didn't trust me and at first, I can understand why you wouldn't have told me right away because of who my brother is. But I thought I had gained your trust… I was wrong," I said softly.

She reached out and put a hand on my arm. I stiffened. "Lena… I didn't know what to do. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell anyone who wasn't directly involved with the DEO," she told me.

I can't do this right now. I need to process this, also she is much too close to me right now. I pushed her hand away and stepped back from her.

"I need to leave… I can't do this right now Kara… Supergirl, whatever you want me to call you."

She looked heartbroken as I turned, grabbed my laptop bag and walked out of the door. I couldn't turn back or look at her again or my resolve may break.

Kara Danvers is Supergirl.
