Lena rushed into the DEO, "Alex, where is she?"
"She's in the Sunroom Lena, but"
Alex never got a chance to finish her statement as Lena threw off her heals and ran for the Sunroom. She didn't even wait for the elevator just charged down the stairs.
Lena was charging down the hallway, sliding to a stop at Kara's door. She tried to enter the room, but the door was locked. "Someone come, and unlock this damn door, now!", she cried out.
"Ms. Luthor," the doctor said as he approached Lena, "We can't let anyone in right now, we have the sun lamps turned up to the highest levels possible."
"Oh my god, what happened to her."
"Sorry Ms. Luthor, but that information is available to DEO and family only."
"Dr. Hamilton, Lena is Supergirl's girlfriend, she is entitled to the information."
"Director Danvers, sorry ma'am, I didn't realize."
"it's okay Doctor, Lena and Supergirl have just recently gone public with their relationship, I will talk to her."
"Thank you, Director."
"Lena let's go in here.", Alex said calmly as she took Lena's hand and led her into an empty exam room.
"Alex what happened? How bad is it? Will she be okay?"
"It was a trap, set up by CADMUS. They were waiting and unleashed some sort of creature at her. She beat it, but that thing got in some incredible shots. She lost a huge amount of blood, it broke bones and she has a major concussion.", Alex took a deep breath, willing away the tears she could feel forming in her eyes. "She will be okay Lena, but they had to put her under the sunlamps at their highest setting because of the amount of damage there was."
"How long?"
"At least 6-8 hours."
"I need to see her Alex, please, even if just for a second."
Alex rubbed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded.
They stepped out and Alex waved one of the nurses over, "Can you turn down the lights so that Lena and I can step in and see Supergirl. Please."
"Yes ma'am, Director Danvers."
"Thank you."
The nurse sat down at her station and entered her code into the computer, she adjusted the emitters down so that a normal human could enter the room.
As they entered, the nurse let Alex know that the microphones were on in the room, so they would hear if something happened. Both women stopped, shocked at Kara's appearance, she was basically naked, except for some small strips of cloth covering her most private areas. Lena could see open wounds all over her body, scratches marks and bruises, especially the one on the side of her head. Kara's beautiful blonde hair was caked with blood and so were her hands, Lena approached, and rubbed her hand down Kara's cheek. Alex called over the microphone for water and some clothes. The orderly brought some in, and then left quickly. Lena picked up a cloth and started to wash the blood off of her girlfriends bruised face. As she worked, she started to sing.

Alex recognized the song from Kara's playlist at home and started to sing with Lena. The song finished before they could, so Alex started to sing another one.

They finished cleaning Kara up, Lena leaned down and kissed her on the lips and Alex squeezed Kara's hand. They took the water and dirty clothes out of the room, all the Nurses and Doctors were standing there, crying as they applauded the two women. Lena and Alex blushed slightly and then smiled. "Thank you all for taking care of her.", Lena said with tears in her eyes.
"Ms. Luthor, she should be able to have visitors all day tomorrow. I'm sorry for earlier ma'am.", Dr. Hamilton said.
"It's okay doctor, you were doing your job, and I am not very good at not getting my way."
"Get some rest, she will need both of you healthy."
"Yes sir.", they answered together.
The two women headed up to the next floor to get a little food and then settled into one of the bunk rooms. Alex, exhausted from the day she had, fell asleep quickly, Lena laid there staring at the ceiling. After a few hours, she finally dozed off, dreaming of her and Kara, singing.

They had been to see the musical earlier in the month and it must have struck a chord.
Hours later, Lena woke up, her first thought, Kara.
Alex came bursting in, "Lena, come on, she is waking up."
Not even pausing Lena shot out of the room and ran all the way to Kara's room. She paused, since the doctor was checking Kara out. "Is she awake?"
"No Ms. Luthor, she is still coming around, but she said your name in her sleep, so we thought you should be here."
"Thank you, Doctor."
"Of course."
The doctor and the nurses left the room and Alex and Lena got closer to the bed, Kara was dress in a hospital gown and the lights were kept on, but Lena noticed that the bruising was gone and so were the cuts.
Kara's eyes started to flutter and then opened slowly. She looked at Alex and smiled, but when she looked at Lena, she glowed. "You're both here.", she whispered.
"Of course, we are, Darling.", Lena cried.
"No tears Lee, I'm going to be okay."
"I know honey, but I was scared."
"Me too, but somebody was singing while I was asleep, and it kept me calm."
Lena and Alex looked up at one another, green met brown and they smiled, she had heard them.
"You too sang for me? Together?", Kara smiled, "Karaoke night is going to be so much more fun. Alex have you been here all night? What about Emma?"
"I called her and told her there was a family emergency."
"Alex, you need to tell her, before I break your relationship with her the way I broke me and Lena.", Kara said, looking up to Lena that is was okay to share the secret. Lena nodded, happy to be included in this decision.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, you two are just like me and Lena, she needs to know the whole you Alex."
"Do you want to see her?"
"Yes, and can you have her bring me some pajamas, this thing is a little to revealing for my taste."
The nurse stuck her head back into the room, the Doctor needs to check on the patient.
"Of course," Lena answered, "Alex, go call Emma, I'm going to go get Supergirl some food." Then she leaned in and kissed Kara full on the mouth, "I'll be right back love."
"Love you, Lee.", Kara grinned.
The two women left as the doctor came back in. "Alex, I need to ask you something before you call Emma."
"Shoot."
"I want to marry Kara, but I need your blessing."
Alex's mouth dropped open; she was speechless.
"Is that a yes?", Lena asked, biting her lip.
Alex shook her head, "Yes, of course you have my blessing. Not that you needed my permission. You and Kara are obviously in love, and this scared you, but you're not asking because of what happened are you? You already have a ring, don't you?"
"I bought it when we got back from Seattle. Oh god, Seattle, Kara's job?"
"Relax Lena, I've had to do this before, I already called and told them she was in a minor accident and would be back in a few days."
"Oh", Lena looked slightly upset.
"I want her back here too, but her contract is ironclad."
"Hmph, we will see about that."
Then Lena took out the ring to show Alex, a gold band with an emerald and a sapphire.
"It's beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as her."
"When are you going to ask her?
"When she gets out of here, can you invite your mom?"
"I'll have her come up later today. Your place?"
"Yes, your mom can stay there if she likes."
"She loves you to death, so I don't see a problem. But first I'm calling Emma."
"And I am going to run out to Noonan's and get some potstickers for our girl."
"See you in about an hour."
Alex headed upstairs, calling Emma as she went.
"Hey Alex, how's the family?"
"Hey hon, it was Kara, and she is fine now, she would like to see you."
"Okay, where are ya'll."
"I'm going to come and get you, then I can explain."
"Okay?"
"Kara helped me reach a conclusion about us today, so I need to tell you a few things. Are you at work?"
"No Lena gave me the day off."
"I'll pick you up in 10."
"Okay, love you."
"I love you too Emma."
Alex started her Cadillac and headed to Emma's. Her radio was playing, and she was singing under her breath.

She picked Emma up and started to explain everything, although she left the big reveal up to Kara. As she pulled back into the DEO, she called her mother quickly to tell her what was going on with Lena and Kara. Eliza would be coming later today to celebrate.
"Emma are you okay with this, with me?"
"Alex, you have been hurt several times in the past, I know that you and Kelly's break up hurt, but you have been open and honest with me, except for this DEO thing, so yes I am fine. We all have secrets Alex, even your open book of a sister."
Alex's face fell, "You know, don't you?"
"That's she Supergirl, yeah, I figured it out on the flight back from Seattle, her and Lena suck at the secrets thing. Not to mention, have you noticed how much she eats?"
"Yeah, about 20,000 calories a day."
"Holy shit?"
"Yep"
Alex led Emma through the DEO, got her a visitors pass and headed down to Kara's room. Her sister was sitting in a recliner eating with Lena. She tried to stand up, but Emma waved her down and bent to give her a hug and kiss the top of her head. She also stole a potsticker. As she popped it into her mouth, she looked at Alex and Lena, chewed slowly and asked, "What?"
Lena answered, "Kara is not very good at sharing her potstickers."
"It's okay, Emma's family", Kara said without looking up.
Emma smiled down at Kara, "Thanks Supergirl."
Kara's face fell, "Alex, you told her already?"
"Nope, she figured it out herself, after we got back from Seattle."
"Oh god, my job."
"Kara, breathe, I already took care of it."
"Oh, thank Rao. So, Emma, are you okay with this?"
"You mean the secret government organization my girlfriend is a member of, or the fact that my boss is dating Supergirl, or the fact that one of my best friends is Supergirl?"
"All of the above I guess", answered Kara.
"I'm fine, I love Alex, and we all have secrets."
"What do I owe you Lee?"
"I'll come up with something, maybe those Croissants that you got in Paris."
"Lost a bet did you Kara?"
"Normally people get mad at me when I keep this secret."
"Not this person. It's okay."
"Okay", Kara said, not quite convinced.
The girls talked for a few hours, then Kara started to get a bit tired. "Back to the sunlamps, Supergirl."
"I want to go home Lee."
"Is my place okay?"
"Anywhere you are is okay Lee."
Lena blushed, a lot at that statement, "I'm taking you home to my place tomorrow, then flying you back to Seattle on Monday."
"Okay."
"Now get some rest, I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon after you have had a good 24 hours under the lamps. I have to get ahead on some work."
"Yes ma'am."
Emma and Alex hugged and kissed her, then headed out. Lena kissed her deeply, "I love you Darling. I will be back tomorrow."
"Love you too Lee."
The next day, true to her word, Lena showed up to pick Kara up, fortunately she was allowed to walk out, since Lena was sure that Kara would have had a fit if she had to ride in a wheelchair. She got into her personal vehicle and drove Kara back to her apartment. On the ride home they just sat holding hands and listening to a very specific song, which Kara sung along to lightly.

They arrived home, and since her powers were still on the fritz Kara couldn't hear Lena's racing heart or the heartbeats of her friends and family upstairs. The walked in the front door and everyone yelled "Surprise."
Kara cried tears of joy that everyone was there, then out of nowhere, music started, one of Lena's favorite songs.

As the song came to an end, Lena got down on one knee, "Kara Danvers, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes"
