Hi everybody, here's the next chapter. Thanks to the person who requested it and for everyone taking the time to read it. I hope you enjoy and if you have a prompt let me know.
Prompt: A version of "Alex remembering that Kara is Supergirl/ Take the Grass" scene from episode "Red Dawn" (4x21).
As Alex watched Supergirl fight Red Daughter, she shook her head to try and rid the feeling that something was off.
Something felt weird, something wasn't right.
Suddenly an image passed in her head of her and her sister at a campfire, Kara roasting the marshmallows with her eyes.
How was Kara roasting a marshmallow with her eyes?
Another memory of her and Kara as kids at Christmas time flashed through her mind.
In this memory it was snowing in their living room. But why was there snow in the living room?
Then another of her and Kara floating over the edge of a cliff, Kara holding Alex.
Alex shook her head, the memories didn't make sense, she watched as Red Daughter hit Supergirl once more, and another image passed through her mind.
Supergirl saving her on the Cadmus ship.
Only it wasn't Supergirl, it was Kara or rather it was both of them, they were the same people.
Kara was Supergirl.
The memories of the last few years came flooding back in one quick second, right up until Alex got her mind wiped to protect Kara.
"Kara," Alex whispered as she watched Red Daughter knocked Supergirl down once more.
Alex ran faster than she ever had, unsure how she was planning on stopping Red Daughter but knowing she wouldn't let her get to Kara again.
But when Alex tried to pull her away, Red Daughter just tossed Alex aside in one quick motion.
Alex weakly started to sit back up, watching as Red Daughter approached Supergirl.
But instead of attacking her once more, Red Daughter only stood over her for a moment before flying off.
And somehow that was worse, because if Red Daughter was leaving that could only mean one thing.
Supergirl was dead.
But she couldn't be dead yet, not after Alex just got her back.
No, this could not be happening.
Alex ran towards where Kara lay, dropping down next to her sister's still and bloodied body.
She placed her head on Kara's chest and listened for her heartbeat.
The heartbeat that was always there, that was always beside her, that was always beating, it had to be there.
But Alex heard nothing.
This could not be happening.
"You can't go now Kara, I remember…" Alex thought of all the years of memories she had been hit with in the last few minutes.
All the good times and the fun times and the awful and terrible times.
All of them had one thing in common, Kara was there.
Always.
"I remember everything Kara," She said, the name rolling off her tongue and feeling more natural than it had in months.
"We're here together," Always together, the Danvers sisters were always together, even when they were apart, they found a way to still be with each other.
Alex thought of all the nights as kids they spent talking, and all the phone calls and letters sent in college, all the brunches and dinners and sisters' nights as adults.
"and I- I know you- better than anyone knows you, so I know that you don't quit."
Alex looked at Kara's face, begging for some kind of reaction to show she was ok.
But the only movement was the blood that trickled down the side of Supergirl's face.
This could not be happening.
Kara couldn't be gone, Alex couldn't lose her, not again.
"You can't go now! Kara you can't go!" Alex cried more than yelled, futilely putting her head back down to her sister's chest to search for a heartbeat but already knowing what she would hear.
Silence.
This could not be happening.
"Alex," said a voice, pulling Alex's head up to see her mother.
She knew that look; it was the look her mother had given her when she had told her that her dog had died when she was a kid.
It was the look her mother had given her when she told Alex her father was gone.
It was the look her mother gave her when she told Alex bad news.
Like 'Your sister is dead.'
This could not be happening.
Alex cut her off before her mom could say anything.
"It's ok," Alex said, even though absolutely nothing was ok.
"She's ok," Alex said, even though she knew Kara was not ok.
Because Supergirl didn't break, she couldn't break.
The science side of Alex began running, taking control of her frantic thought process.
Maybe if they could get some sunlight, if they could get her back to the DEO and under the sunlamps, but Alex knew there wasn't enough time for that.
"She's gonna be fine, it's just that it's dark so she doesn't have any sunlight..." Alex said, her voice coming out like she was convinced of what she said.
But she wasn't.
This could not be happening.
"But…"
But what? Kara was dead, there was no light around, and no time to get her to some.
Alex looked around desperately, willing her mind to find some solution to the problem.
Because she always did.
She and Kara always figured it out, they always saved each other.
And now could be no different.
Alex felt the warm ground beneath her, as if it was mocking her with the sunlight it had received not long ago.
The grass, the grass had sunlight.
"But there's sunlight in the grass," Alex said out loud, yanking a clump of it out and placing it in her sister's hand.
"So Kara just take it."
Alex's science side reminded her that never had her sister been able to draw sunlight out of plants, but Kara had to be able to now.
Because she always lived, the Danvers sisters always made a way.
"Take the grass!" Alex yelled, pressing her sister's hands around the weeds, but Kara made no movement.
This could not be happening.
"Please?" Alex begged, looking at the face of the only person who had always been there for her. The only person who truly knew Alex, the only person who was always by her side.
"Kara" Alex whispered, begging for her eyes to open, for her hands to flinch, for there to be any sign of life.
But nothing happened.
Alex knew she was gone, but she couldn't accept it.
"Please don't leave me," she cried, dropping her head down to rest on the lifeless body of her sister.
She couldn't hold back the onslaught of tears that came, her hands still holding onto Kara's for what she thought would be the last time.
Everything else faded away as her sobs were muffled into the fabric of her sister's suit.
This could not be happening.
"Alex," said her mom's voice, "She's doing it, she's pulling the sunlight."
Alex let the words sink in before jerking her head up, watching in shock as sunlight was drawn to her sister.
As it hit Kara's body, her foot twitched, then her arms, until it reached her head and Kara Zor-El Danvers took a breath.
Alex stared in disbelief at the now life-filled eyes in front of her.
Was this real, could her sister really be ok?
Kara's shaky breaths pulled Alex back to reality as she leaned over her sister.
"Hey, I-I'm here," Alex said, the words carrying more weight than either sister registered at the moment.
I'm here because I remember now, I'm here because I'm always here when you need me, we're in this together, the words said.
Kara's eyes settled on Alex, the deep blue eyes Alex had been looking at for months but only now saw them for what they were.
These were the eyes of her sister and the eyes of Supergirl, these were the eyes of National City's hero and the eyes of Alex's best friend.
"I missed you so much," Kara spoke, her voice cracking and weak and hardly more than a whisper.
But Alex heard her.
"I really missed you," Alex responded, and that was all she could get out before the tears returned, this time not for the death of her sister, but for her life instead.
Alex dropped back down onto Kara's stomach, her hands holding onto the weak grasp of her sister's hands.
And they stayed like that for a while, both recovering from the drama of the last several minutes.
After all, Kara was just dead. She needed a few moments to collect herself.
But Alex had almost lost Kara, and that was more draining, more agonizing, than anything Alex could ever imagine.
But Kara was alive and breathing, Alex reminded herself as she felt her head lift with Kara's breaths.
Because the Danvers sisters always made a way, together.
I hope you all liked it. If you have a request, let me know. Have a great day/night!
