A/N: Thanks for the comments.
Jennifer Baratta - Thanks!
Guest - After I wrap up the stories I have going I'll probably be taking a break. Even if I do write again I doubt I will write any with Lena as a villain.
"How is she?" Alex asked as she entered Kara's apartment.
"Still asleep, but her temperature is dangerously high." Eliza said. "She's restless, but there have been no more hallucinations or sleep walking. How did you get on with Lena?"
"She has an idea that she is working on with Brainy." Alex said.
"You didn't want to stay and help?"
"Pacing and threatening apparently wasn't helpful." Alex said as she moved to Kara's bedroom and looked at her sleeping sister. "She looks really pale." She commented wishing she could help her. After a few moments watching Kara Alex finally asked, her voice cracking.
"What if she doesn't make it?"
"Your sister is strong. She is a fighter, just like you. She'll make it." Eliza said.
"What if she gives up because she feels alone?" Alex asked feeling guilty.
"Alex, she knows she is not alone." Eliza said hugging her. "You have always been there for her."
"Not recently. She has gone through so much and I was no where."
"You didn't know who she was."
"And what does that say about me?" Alex asked as Kara started to stir. Rushing to her side Alex sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand.
"Hey." She said.
"Alex?" Kara asked, her voice hoarse.
"I'm right here." Alex said. "I need you to hold on though."
"Tired." Kara complained. "Hurts."
"What hurts?" Eliza asked sitting on Kara's other side.
"Everything." Kara said.
"How about some water." Eliza suggested knowing she must be getting dehydrated. Nodding Kara let Eliza and Alex help her into a sitting position before taking a few sips from a glass. But no sooner had she swallowed she was throwing up. Quickly putting a bowl in front of her Eliza held Kara's hair out of the way and soothed.
"It's okay."
Once Kara had stopped vomiting she sat back and apologised.
"You have nothing to apologise for." Eliza said. "I'm going to take this away, just try to relax." She added removing the bowl. As she left Alex took Kara's hand and squeezed.
"You are going to be okay." Alex said. "I am not going to let you not be."
"Missed you." Kara said before drifting back to sleep.
"I'm sorry for not being there for you." Alex said quietly to her sleeping sister as Eliza re-entered the room.
"Is she asleep?" Eliza asked.
"Yeah." Alex replied as her phone started to buzz. Looking at the message Eliza saw hope wash over her.
"Lena thinks she has found something. I need to get to L-Corp. Are you going to be okay here?" Alex asked.
"We'll be okay." Eliza said.

Concerned with how hot Kara was getting Eliza went to the kitchen to cool down some more cloths. As she drenched the material in icy water she saw Kara stumble from the bedroom.
"Kara Sweetie." Eliza said rushing over to her.
Ignoring her foster mother Kara kept stumbling forward before reaching out an arm, grasping at nothing obvious and crying.
"Mom! Dad!"
"Kara." Eliza called reaching her side.
"No. Please no. Don't die. Don't leave me." Kara sobbed.
"Kara." Eliza said taking hold of her. But Kara was so lost in the hallucination she was oblivious to Eliza's presence.
"Kara." Eliza repeated feeling helpless. Her voice once again having not effect on Kara who continued to scream for her parent. Not knowing what to do Eliza wrapped her arms round her until she finally stilled and fell back to sleep.

"What happened?" Alex asked as she entered the apartment and saw her mother sitting on the ground holding Kara.
"Another hallucination." Eliza said. "After she calmed down she collapsed and I couldn't get her back to the bed." She explained. "Have you got anything that could help?"
"We think so." Alex said kneeling next to the pair and examining Kara's wound. She then looked at Eliza and asked. "Can you hold her?"
Nodding, Eliza saw Alex take out a Kryptonite jacketed syringe which she plunged into Kara's arm before pressing the plunger. Once all of the contents were in Kara's system Alex removed the syringe and placed it in a lead box. She then looked at her mother and said.
"We need to get her closer to window. She needs sunlight."
Nodding Eliza helped Alex move Kara to the window so rays of light hit her body. Even in the new position Eliza continued to act as a pillow for Kara.
"How long before we know if it worked?" Eliza asked.
"I don't know. A few hours." Alex said as her pone started ringing.
"Danvers." She answered. "No ma'am. Yes Ma'am. I have a fam- yes ma'am." Alex said angrily ending the call.
"I've got this. Go." Eliza said guessing Alex had been summoned.
"You sure?" Alex asked not wanting to go.
"When Kara is recovered she is going to need you to get Haley on side." Eliza pointed out.
Reluctantly nodding Alex bent down and whispered to Kara.
"Hold on. I'll be back."
