Chapter 9

The machine blasted Supergirl with the power of many suns and the blonde's body began to convulse. Alex wanted to stop what they were doing but she knew that this could be her sister's only shot and she could not interfere, no matter how much she wanted to. What came next surprised everyone.

Kara let out this primal scream and that caused Agent Symmons to let go of the button. Alex didn't stand on ceremony and busted into the room. Making her way to her sister, she could see that the blonde's eyes were glowing, like she going to fire her heat vision.

"Get back Alex!" Kara managed before she covered her own eyes with her hands. Following her sister's orders Alex ducked back towards the room's door. Unable to hold it back, Kara's heat vision struck her hands and she screamed again before passing out. Alex quickly went to her to find that Kara's hands had third or fourth degree burns.

"We need to get her back under the sun generators now!" Alex shouted. Aides rushed in and quickly rushed the Girl of Steel back out of the room.

"What the hell happened?!" Alex demanded of the Doctor and Lena.

"We must have over charged her and her powers needed release. What we were trying was something that had never done before. I had no idea her body would respond that way," Rodgers said.

"You're right, of course, I'm sorry," without another word, Alex left the two standing there with Agent Symmons.

"We may need to do this again given our enemies have managed to gasify the Kryptonite. We should fix it," Symmons spoke up, trying to get them to focus.

"Yes, you and Lena do that. I'm going to check on Supergirl," Rodgers nodded and then left the room. Lena was confused at the turn of the events but said nothing, knowing that as a civilian, she had to watch her step.

"We need to recalibrate the rate of the rays and their bandwidth," she said. Symmons nodded and the two got to work.

Over in the medical lab, Alex watched as Kara's skin quickly began to heal itself. She was still unconscious so the redhead wondered what that meant. Had it been from the pain of forcing the Kryptonite gas out or from the heat vision?

"She'll be ok," Doctor Rodgers put a hand on her shoulder and the redhead turned to him.

"Will she? This is an entirely new enemy that doesn't have a weak spot. It's spreading faster than wildfire and the very people, who used to look to her to protect them, look at her like she's something to be squashed under their shoes. I know she's affected by it, how could she not be? But she won't talk about it. If only everyone could see what I see, then maybe they wouldn't judge but she can't expose herself like that," the redhead said.

"Doctor Martin Luther King said "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." As Supergirl, she is a beacon of hope. She shows love to her adopted planet by protecting it with the abilities given to her by our sun. As a hero, she has even saved those who are beyond saving, always hoping that underneath they have some redeeming qualities. She is the light that will drive out the darkness and she is the love that will drive out the hate. It won't happen overnight but she's the hero we need, even if we don't deserve her," Rodgers told her. His words caused her to shift her head in his direction. He winked before letting his face shift back to the human form he was used to.

"J'onn," Alex pulled him into a hug.

"I wasn't sure if your government overseer was here yet and I wanted to check up on you two," he said.

"We needed it," the redhead admitted. That's when the sound of the heart monitor spiked and the two quickly turned to Kara. The real Doctor Rodgers rushed in through the door and went to his patient.

"What happened? How'd she get like this?" The Doctor wanted to know. He had stepped out to go to the bathroom and then all hell had broken loose. Alex looked at J'onn and they stepped into help him.

"Director Danvers, you're needed at the main desk. Colonel Haley is here," one of the aides announced after answering the medical lab's phone. Alex looked at J'onn.
