Hi everyone, here's the next chapter. Thanks to the person who requested it and I hope you all enjoy. If you have a prompt feel free to let me know.

Prompt: Kara gets taken by Cadmus and tortured. Alex and the DEO team rescue her.

Supergirl was missing.

Supergirl had been missing for 4 days, and it was starting to create a panic in National City.

But Alex Danvers was already in a panic, had been the moment Supergirl had gotten captured.

As Alex remembered the day, she couldn't help but let out a groan.

She should've prevented this, she should've seen it coming.

Looking back, she saw how everything was too easy and simple, but at the time no one had noticed.

Supergirl had gone to detain an alien, it wasn't even a major threat, so no one had thought to send backup.

But it was a trap, a well-set one by Cadmus, and Supergirl had been taken.

Alex could never forget the feeling that implanted itself in her stomach the moment she realized it was a trap, but that feeling had only gotten worse when she heard Kara's ear-piercing scream before her coms went off.

By the time the DEO got there, Supergirl was long gone and so were her attackers.

Cadmus must've used some sort of kryptonite weapon, because traces of the stuff were found all over the site.

Alex shook her head at the memory to rid herself of it and instead went back to her work, which was trying to track Kara.

Every minute she had was spent trying to find Kara, she had to find her.

"Agent Danvers," someone said behind her, making her jump at the noise.

"What is it?" she said as she gave an agitated look to the agent behind her.

"They think they found Supergirl's location."

"Clear!" Alex yelled, eyes scanning the room as she moved through it.

Agents came in behind her, flooding the building they had tracked Kara to.

Alex slowly made her way through, carefully watching for any movements as she went.

"I have her!" someone yelled from further back.

Alex ran towards the voice, pushing agents out of the way as they all crowded around the body of Supergirl.

Kara's hands were chained together and attached to the wall, and Alex could see kryptonite embedded in the chains.

Kara's skin had the usual green glow that came whenever she was in such close proximity to her weakness, but it was her least concerning feature.

Blood covered almost her entire stomach, spilling from some unseen injury.

Alex kneeled down next to her, careful not to touch her sister until she was sure it wouldn't frighten her.

Kara looked like a deer in the headlights, eyes darting between all the movement and voices, she didn't register Alex or acknowledge that she was next to her.

"Everybody back up, back up." Alex said as she motioned to the other agents to give her some space.

"Hey Kara, Kara it's me, it's Alex," She said gently, still not touching.

Kara's eyes settled on Alex.

"Lex?" She whispered.

"Yeah, it's me, I'm gonna get you out of here ok?" Alex said, gently pushing back the sweaty hair that fell across Kara's pale face.

Kara only nodded, her eyes still trained on her sister as Alex called for someone to come help break the chains off.

Once Kara's arms were free, she moved to sit up, but the motion only caused more pain and her arms gave out.

Alex grabbed her before she fell back against the ground.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Alex said, helping Kara stand.

Once they were standing Kara moved to walk.

Her mind was alert enough to tell her to still act strong, she didn't want all these people to see her being carried away like a damsel in distress.

She was Supergirl, she could walk.

But the second she took an unaided step, her vision faded and she felt herself start to collapse over.

For the second time, Alex caught her before she could fall.

Kara abandoned her pride and leaned against Alex, letting her sister guide her out of the building and outside.

Once they were outside, sunlight hit Kara and Alex could feel her steps grow steadier.

Once the medics saw Supergirl, they ran over to try and help, but she flinched away from their touch.

"No," she said, the first word she had spoken besides the mumbled version of her sister's name.

Kara turned to Alex, "Please," she said, "I just want to go home." It was so soft, more like a whispered plea than a spoken question.

Alex looked at her for a second, taking in her sister's wobbly form and bloody side.

Even with sunlight, Alex knew it would take Kara time to heal completely and truthfully she needed to be under the sunlamps for a few hours.

But Alex knew that wouldn't go over well, and she understood why.

She had no idea what had happened to her sister in the last 4 days, but it clearly wasn't good.

The last thing Kara needed was to be surrounded by a bunch of people in another room she couldn't leave.

"How about I take a look at you, and then we go home, ok?" Alex asked softly.

Kara didn't say anything for a minute, but then she gave a weak nod and allowed Alex to guide her over to one of the medic vans.

20 minutes later, Alex and Kara rode in silence to Kara's apartment.

Kara had leant her head against the window, and Alex thought she had fallen asleep.

No surprise either as Alex's examination had revealed some serious injuries, even for Supergirl.

The wound in Kara's side was deep. Alex wasn't sure what it was from, and Kara hadn't offered any information about it, in fact she hadn't spoken since she asked Alex to go home.

Alex guessed herself that the wound was from something like a knife or blade.

Kara also had a dislocated shoulder, a few broken ribs, and what was probably a broken wrist.

But more concerning than all of this was Kara's mind state, whatever Cadmus had done, it had destroyed her.

Cadmus had found a way to break the Girl of Steel, and that scared Alex.

She was glad that they had finally rescued Kara from whatever prison she had been in, but how helpful was it to physically get Kara out, if her mind was still trapped?

Alex parked the car and looked over at her sister, she still hadn't moved.

"Kara," she said, shaking Kara's shoulder.

Kara moved her head to look at Alex, tear-stained eyes meeting her.

"Hey," Alex said, "what's wrong?"

Kara didn't say anything, and for a moment she tried to get control of her tears, but silent sobs still choked their way out of her.

Alex cupped Kara's cheek in her hand, gently wiping her tears away.

"Kar, come here," she said, opening her other arm up to pull her sister into her embrace.

Kara fell into the contact, all attempts of controlling her emotions fading away as she cried into her sister's shoulder.

Alex held her tight as she gently ran her hand through Kara's hair and murmured sweet nothings to calm her.

"I thought you were dead," Kara whispered through her tears, "they told me that you and everyone else had died because you were looking for me, that you had fallen into another one of their traps and they killed you all. I- I didn't want to believe them, but then no one came and I thought-" Kara turned further into Alex's neck, hiding her tears in the safety of her sister.

"It's alright," Alex said over and over again as she ran her hands through Kara's hair.

Gently she pulled back to look her sister in the eyes, deep blue eyes that had turned bloodshot from crying.

Alex casually played with the golden locks of hair that fell over Kara's shoulder as she spoke.

"Kar, I'm so, so sorry that all of this happened. But I'm right here, everyone is fine, and no one will lie to you like that again, it's over. It's all over and you're safe now, it's gonna be ok."

Kara gave a weak nod, like she didn't quite believe it, before wiping her eyes off and hanging her head down.

"Let's get inside," Alex said, rubbing Kara's shoulder.

Kara just gave another nod.

After Kara had eaten and taken a quick shower, and the sun had long since disappeared behind the horizon, Alex and Kara plopped down on the couch, sitting a little closer than they normally did.

"You wanna watch something?" Alex said, reaching for the remote as she anticipated Kara's response.

To her surprise Kara shook her head.

"Ok," Alex responded, putting the controller back.

"Do you want to go ahead and head to bed?"

"No," Kara said quietly.

"Ok, what do you need?" Alex asked, turning to look at her sister.

Kara shrugged in response and purposefully looked forward, ignoring Alex's gaze.

Alex turned back to stare at the blank television screen and watched as dust floated in front of it.

"Is your side feeling better?" Alex said a moment later, "I should look at it again, and I should get you some water, you need to get some fluids and-"

Kara reached her hand out, grabbing her sister's hand underneath her own.

"Alex stop," she said, "Just…just stay, that's what I need you to do."

Alex placed her other hand on top of Kara's and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Ok, yeah I can do that."

Kara leaned over and placed her head on Alex's shoulder as Alex wrapped one arm around her, holding her tight.

Their hands remained intertwined between them, neither wanting to let go of the other.

And that was how the Danvers sisters spent the night, holding on to each other.
