Hey everybody, I hope you're all doing well, here's the next chapter. Thanks to everyone for reading and thanks to the person who requested this. I hope you all enjoy and if you have a prompt feel free to let me know.

Prompt (a combination of two): Kara solar flares and is lost in woods, it is cold and starts snowing, she almost dies when Alex finds her/ Kara fights an alien that uses kryptonite and she is left badly injured.

Kara slowly began to wake up in a pile of leaves, surrounded by fallen branches and twigs, feeling like she had just gotten run over by a truck.

As she opened her eyes, she began to recall the events that led to her laying on the floor of a forest.

She had been fighting an alien who had somehow gotten access to a piece of kryptonite, and in addition to this was a lot stronger than anyone had predicted.

The two of them had flown all over the world as the fight went on, and the alien was starting to win.

After he had knocked Kara down once more, he began heading in the direction of a town, and in desperation Kara had used everything she had to tackle him and use her last bit of strength to try to prevent his attack.

Because of the effort, and her close proximity to the kryptonite, she had solar-flared.

She was pretty sure she weakened him in her attack, but still he was strong enough to grab her and throw her off, and the force had knocked her out.

How long ago was that?

Shakily she stood up, only to fall back down again as pain shot up from her leg.

Tentatively, she looked down to see that her thigh was ripped open, deeply, and bleeding.

Probably from when the alien had grabbed her with his claws.

As she tried to settle her nausea at the sight, she examined the rest of her body to see how much damage had been done, the conclusion was a lot of damage.

Her head was bleeding from where she hit the ground, her back felt like it was covered in bruises and scrapes, and there was a cut in her shoulder that matched the one in her leg.

"Ok," she said out loud as her body continued to protest the treatment it had endured in the form of sheer pain.

"I just need to contact someone, someone will come soon." She said to herself as she reached up to her ear to press into the coms.

Her hand brushed across her ear but found no wire. It had been knocked out during the fight.

"Ok, so no communication…no problem." She tried to convince herself.

Suddenly a thought hit her, her coms were also where her tracker was located, so not only did she not have communication with anyone, no one knew where she was either.

Did Kara even know where she was?

She tried to remember the last landmark she had seen, but she couldn't think of anything.

She was sure she was in North America because she didn't remember flying over water, but that's still a lot of ground to cover.

And how long ago had it been? A few hours? It was just getting light, and she had been fighting the alien at nighttime.

Was the alien still out there? If he found her, she knew was dead.

"Don't panic," she told herself.

She knew that if she could get to a town, she could contact someone. She had seen lights before when she was fighting, but which direction was that?

Kara looked around, trying to remember or recognize anything, but no matter which way she faced, it all looked the same: Deep dark woods with no sign of anyone or anything else.

It was cold and Kara started shivering, both from shock and from genuine coldness.

It was such an uncommon thing for her to experience that it made it much worse.

She knew she couldn't just sit there; she'd freeze to death and there was no reason to believe someone was coming.

She had to move.

Taking a deep breath and trying not to notice the pain in her ribs when she did so, Kara stood up again, carefully leaning on her less-damaged leg.

Slowly she began to walk, picking a direction that looked easiest to walk through and going with it.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that she felt the snow falling down, freezing her already cold self even more.

"Great," she said out loud, "this is just perfect."

Alex leaned down and picked up the broken wire that had once been Supergirl's coms.

In the bed of snow that surrounded it, it was easy to see the red blood that ran across parts of the small piece of equipment.

At the sight, she felt her stomach knot and her hands shook a little as they held the piece.

Alex had been traveling to what she thought was her sister's location ever since the DEO had gotten a reading that Kara had solar-flared, but now she saw that she had only been following a signal from Kara's broken tracker.

The helicopter above her hovered impatiently.

"Danvers did you find Supergirl?" Said the pilot through her ear.

Alex took a deep breath and put the tracker in her pocket.

"No, her tracker's here but not her." She said, looking around for any signs of what direction Kara might have headed in.

"Well where is she?" said the pilot.

Alex rolled her eyes at the stupid question, thinking to herself how if she knew that she would already be on her way there, but she didn't respond to him, just kept looking.

She didn't see much, everything was just a blanket of white hills and scenery.

To her left there was a distant clump of trees, a mountain range in front of her, and a lake behind her.

Which direction was Kara in? Alex thought to herself, trying to guess what had happened in the place she stood.

There was some footprints and marks in the snow, definitely a fight had happened here, but where had they gone?

Alex walked over to where she saw footprints running and then suddenly disappearing.

It could of course be that the fresh snow had covered the steps, but considering how everything else could still be seen, Alex guessed the real reason the footsteps disappeared was that the owner had flown off.

Alex looked up in the direction the steps ended, seeing the distant forest in front of her.

She squinted her eyes, trying to see as far ahead in the blinding white.

Maybe it was just her eyes playing tricks on her, but she could've sworn there was a dip in the trees, like something had fallen into them and knocked them over.

It was a long shot, a wild guess that was probably wrong, but Alex had absolutely nothing else to go on.

"That forest," she said into the com, as she ran over to the rope hanging down from the helicopter, "My bet is they went that way."

Kara stumbled through the trees, trying to keep her head up so she could see but unable to do so because of how heavy the snow was.

Blindly she took another step, almost tripping and crashing down the little hill she was on.

She had given up on finding a town when the snow had picked up, now she was just trying to find some shelter or something to protect her from the storm.

She honestly had no idea which direction she had come from.

All the trees looked the same, blurry grey obstacles that fuzzily came into view right before she ran into them.

This was not good.

She was beyond cold.

Her legs and hands had started to go numb, which was not only concerning but also unhelpful as she couldn't see to begin with because of the snow, and now she couldn't feel much of anything either.

The only thing she could feel was the pain in her shoulder and leg.

It felt like every step she took, someone was taking a knife and stabbing her.

She had no idea how long it had been since she first started walking.

As she took another step, her foot caught on something, and she lost her balance, crashing to the ground.

Unfortunately, she didn't stop there and ended up falling down the hill she'd been standing on, landing at the bottom in a heap.

Now the pain that had felt like a knife before suddenly felt like ten knifes, and all of which were on fire and covered in angry wasps.

It hurt.

Kara screamed through tears she couldn't hold back, never had she ever felt this much pain, and on top of that she was completely alone.

No one was coming to save her, no one knew where she was.

She couldn't walk, not anymore, and she knew it.

So, she laid on the ground, trying to cover herself up as best as she could with her cape but giving up when the simple movement made her feel sick with pain.

Freezing, powerless, hurt, and completely alone, she closed her eyes from the onslaught of snow and just tried to stay awake, a thing which was becoming harder to do as her powerless body continued to respond to the cold.

Distantly she had one comforting thought, that maybe Alex would come soon.

After all she knew her sister would be out looking for her, but she also knew Alex had no idea where Kara was, so the thought was more of a vain wish, one that Kara decided to hold on to.

Alex trucked through the pilling snow, shielding her eyes to look through the storm and call her sister's name.

She had flown over the forest where the trees and had fallen and found even more evidence that Kara had been there.

The forest was thick and it was impossible to see through it from above, so the pilot was circling overhead as Alex followed the faint tracks she only hoped belonged to Kara.

However, the snow had picked up and quickly erased the little bit of path Alex was following,

Now she was only left to guess which direction her sister would have headed in.

The wind was picking up too and blowing around her, adding to the list of things that were making finding Kara complicated.

But Alex wasn't giving up, not until she found her.

She looked ahead in her limited visibility to see what looked like a place where someone was dragged down the side of a hill.

Of course, it was very hard to see at all, and Alex wasn't entirely sure she was actually seeing anything, but she had no other hints as to where her sister was, so she went with it.

She followed the half-buried tracks down the hill, trying to keep upright as she went further down.

Finally as she approached the bottom, she saw something other than white in front of her.

Was that blue and red?

Alex's heart pounded in her chest as she ran as best as she could to the body in front of her.

It was definitely Kara.

Alex's initial relief at finding her sister was replaced with fear however, as she saw the state Kara was in.

Alex couldn't see well with the blinding snow, but she could still make out blood splattered down Kara's pale face. Her lips were tinged blue, her eyes were closed, and blood was spilled onto the snow next to her.

Alex collapsed down beside her, shaking her as she called her name.

"Kara can you hear me?" she called, grabbing her arm and searching for a pulse.

It took a few seconds but, she found one, weak and small, but there nonetheless.

Alex alerted the pilot of their location and once again tried to get Kara to respond.

This time, Kara slowly opened her eyes, blinded by the blurry snow surrounding her.

She felt cold, so very cold and numb, but slowly the blurry image above her cleared to show the familiar face of her sister sitting over her.

"Lex." She said, her voice barely made a noise, and the wind was howling around them, but Alex heard her.

"Hey, hey I got you, I'm here. I'm gonna get you home Kara but I need you to help me get you up, please Kara?" Alex said as she ran her gloved hands over her sister's freezing arm to try and warm her in some way.

Above her, Alex heard the helicopter approach.

"In position." said the pilot in her ear.

Kara tried to sit up, but she felt like she was trying to bend ice, it wasn't going to bend, just break, but Alex grabbed her before she could lean back over and pulled her up to a sitting position.

Kara's head spun as she sat up, but Alex was next to her and held her up.

It took several minutes but Alex was finally able to get her sister standing, albeit most of her weight was on Alex.

In front of them Alex saw a rope with a harness attached to it a few feet away, leading up to the helicopter.

Kara took a step, but pain shot up her leg again, it was so strong she thought she was going to throw up and if her muscles weren't so stiff she probably would have.

Her legs collapsed and she stumbled.

Alex steadied her, seeing the pain flash across Kara's face.

"I got you." She said, reaching down to put her arms under Kara's legs and picking her up.

Five minutes later, they were in the helicopter, Kara leaning against the walls of the aircraft as she tried to ignore the pain burning through her entire body.

Alex got busy getting anything she could to help her sister, making a make-shift wrap for her leg and covering her in blankets.

Kara watched her, she had no strength left even to support her own body so she moved as Alex moved her, finally leaning back against the wall as Alex wrapped one more blanket around her.

She was still freezing, but she was starting to get warmer.

Alex looked up and Kara caught her eye, giving the smallest smile her cracked lips could handle.

Alex gave a big grin back, reaching forward and pulling Kara into her arms.

"I'm so glad you're ok" She whispered as Kara pretty much became deadweight in her arms.

Alex moved them around so Kara could lay down, her head resting in Alex's lap.

Kara couldn't speak much but still she tried, "T-t-thank you Alex" she murmured, a thanks that was for more than just saving her life.

It was a thanks for always having her back, always being beside her.

Alex ran her hands through Kara's hair, pulling out pieces of leaves and clumps of ice.

"I got you Kara. Always."
