A/N: Thanks for the comments.
Jennifer Baratta - Thank you.
Supergirl101- Thanks. I claim (again) it will be my last.
"Hello." Lex smiled as he approached Kara's cell. Stepping past William's body in an over dramatic way as he did so. "How are you this morning? Better than your friend here, well former friend." He smiled as Kara glared at him. "Now now, where is that sunny Danvers disposition you are famous for?" Lex asked.
"You will pay for what you have done?"
"I doubt that. I don't mean to brag, but this is probably my best ever plan. You see not only is no one looking for, on account of you being dead, or in Alex's case, just not caring. But even if they did try to find you they wouldn't. No one knows about this place it is literally in the middle of no where. And I don't mean the Midwest. I can get here through my, I hesitate to say incredible, but if the shoe fits, technology. But I am the only man on Earth with access to it. So no one is coming." He said pausing and looking at Kara. "Don't look so glum, I am really looking forward to whatever time we have together. I am going to enjoy taking everything you care about away from you. But don't worry I'll let you share. I'll let you see Alex getting destroyed as everyone she cares about meet unfortunate ends, on account of the world knowing you you really are, well were, before she herself reaches the end of the line. But first I need to move you somewhere a little more comfortable and give you a few enhancements. So night night." He said pressing a button that caused green gas to fill the room, knocking Kara out.

As Alex woke with a pounding headache she was aware of a warmness. Opening her eyes she found herself looking at Kelly, who was holding her tightly.
"How are you feeling?" Kelly asked.
"Okay." Alex croaked before her memories flooded back and she asked. "Mom?"
"Is fine. J'onn said she slept straight through. As soon as you have had breakfast we'll go to the hospital." Kelly said handing Alex a bottle of water.
Having sipped some water Alex put the bottle down and Kelly asked.
"What were you thinking riding up here drunk?"
"When I got that call, I thought I was going to lose her." Alex confessed. "All I could think about was getting up here."
"I get that, I really do. But you should have called. You don't have to do this alone."
"I know."
"Do you?"
"Yes. But yesterday, I wasn't exactly thinking straight."
"Which is why you rode up here drunk?"
"Yes." Alex said. "All I thought about was getting here."
"Okay." Kelly said.
"You're not lecturing me on that?"
"No need. You know you were stupid and J'onn has a lecture prepared already." Kelly said pulling Alex in for a hug. "You had me so worried."
"Sorry." Alex said clinging to her girlfriend. "I'm sorry for everything."

"Sometimes I amaze even myself." Lex commented to himself as he hooked an unconscious Kara up to various tubes. "I do wonder if I may have over done it with the Kryptonite though. That would be a problem as I'm not taking it out. But if I have you can consider it your reward for your dedicated service to the DEO." He went on before putting contacts in Kara's eyes. "Perfect." He said picking up his tablet. "Now all we need to do is start the nightmare. Well nightmares. Is it one or many? No difference I guess." He said tapping a button. "Now, if you'll excuse me I have to deliver your eulogy." He said walking out of the sound proof cell and locking the door.

"You didn't have to stay here all night." Eliza said when she woke and saw J'onn sitting uncomfortably in the corner.
"I did, for both you and Alex." J'onn replied.
"How is she doing?"
"Kelly texted to say she passed out as soon as her head hit the pillow. Hopefully the sleep will help." J'onn said. "How are you doing?"
"A little sore. My head is less foggy than yesterday, or this morning, whenever it was."
"Last night." J'onn confirmed. "Can I get you anything?"
"Water?" Eliza asked.
"Of course. Sorry." J'onn said holding the beaker in front of her. After she had taken a few sips he took the beaker away before asking.
"What happened?"
"I got distracted and had to swerve to miss a possum."
"I should have flown you here myself." J'onn said.
"It was an accident." Eliza pointed out as the door opened and Alex walked in with Kelly.
"Mom. How are you feeling?" Alex asked moving to her bedside.
"I'm okay." Eliza said as Alex gripped her good hand.
"We'll give you some space." J'onn said leaving with Kelly.
"I'm so sorry." Alex said to Eliza. "When I got the call I thought you were dead-"
"I'm okay." Eliza said squeezing Alex's hand.
"I'm sorry for driving you away and not being there for you." Alex said as a tear ran down her face.
"Alex, I'm okay." Eliza repeated. "It's you I'm worried about."
"I'm not the one in hospital." Alex said.
Knowing that Alex wasn't ready to talk about what she was feeling Eliza didn't press further and instead went back to reassuring Alex. "I promise you I'm okay."

When Eliza next woke she saw Alex sitting reading her chart.
"Isn't that meant to be confidential?"
"You're awake? Can I get you anything?" Alex asked putting the chart down and moving closer to her mother.
"I'm fine. I'm pretty sure the chart belongs at the end of the bed."
"Hmm? Oh right." Alex said putting the chart back.
"Is everything okay? It seems rather quiet out there." Eliza commented, noticing the lack of movement and noise from outside the room.
"They're all watching Supergirl's funeral." Alex said before looking back at her mother. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."
"Alex you have always done so much for this family. Right now you have to do what is right for you. Put yourself first for a change, let Kelly help with that. Speaking of, Kelly where is she?"
"I've not seen her and J'onn since they left this morning." Alex said. "They probably wanted some time away from me."
"If that were true they wouldn't have come up here in the first place." Eliza said shifting in the bed before gasping in pain.
"Do you want me to get a nurse?" Alex asked standing. "You are overdue your next dose of pain meds."
"No I'm okay." Eliza assured her. "As long as I don't move the pain isn't too bad."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Eliza smiled weakly. "You look tired, why don't you go get some rest?"
"I'm fine." Alex said before a thought dawned on her. "Unless you don't want me here."
"Of course I want you here. I'm just worried about you." Eliza said taking Alex's hand again.
"I'll be okay." Alex said as the door opened and the doctor walked in.
"How are you feeling this afternoon?" The doctor asked picking up the chart before approaching Eliza.
"Looking forward to going home."
"Something you can do tonight. If you will have supervision at home."
"She will." Alex assured him.
"Good. I'll give you a full briefing just before discharge. However," He said turning back to Eliza. "The next few weeks will be hard. Your ribs will reduce you mobility and your arm being in a cast will make normal tasks hard. I strongly recommend you stay with someone at least for a couple of weeks." He paused again and scribbled something on the chart. "As long as nothing happens I will be back to discharge you in a couple of hours."
As the doctor left Alex turned to her mother and was about to speak when J'onn and Kelly came back into the room.
"Everything okay?" J'onn asked.
"It's great. I get to go home in a couple of hours." Eliza replied before asking. "Where have you been?"
"We went back to National City to get my car." J'onn explained. "Then we stopped at the house and Kelly picked up some clothes for you."
"Thank you." Eliza smiled.
"But just because they are releasing you doesn't mean you don't have to rest." J'onn pointed out, used to lecturing Alex.
"It's just a broken wrist." Eliza said.
"And cracked ribs." J'onn added.
"Bruised, not cracked."
"The pain is the same." Alex pointed out. "Plus you are going to need some help, the doctor said so."
"I'll be fine."
"No you won't. Why don't I move back here for a few weeks until you are better?" Alex suggested.
"Because you have a life in National City."
"Why don't you come back to National City where we can look all after you?" Kelly suggested.
"You are welcome to stay with me." J'onn offered. "And unlike some, I can cook."
"I can vouch for that." Alex said.
"You've all done enough already." Eliza replied.
"We're family. There is no such thing as too much." J'onn pointed out.
