When Lena steps into the hospital room, Kara is sitting on her bed, staring blankly at the knee brace she's wearing.
And the sight makes Lena's heart aches.
"Knock knock" Announcing her entrance by making the knocking sound, Lena hopes to lighten the mood of Kara.
"You came" Kara looks up from her knee, a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Yes, I like to keep my promises" Lena offers the blonde a smile.
Lena is no longer in her white coat, but a button up flannel and a pair of jeans.
Simple, yet mesmerizing. Kara can't help but stare at this beautiful brunette standing in front of her.
"Thank you" Kara whispers, bowing her head again. She doesn't even know she's longing for companion until this moment, until Lena is here.
Maggie, Alex's wife, arrived after Kara had settled in the room, with an obviously worried expression on her face.
The couple stayed for a few hours, showering Kara with love and care.
Alex wants nothing but to stay with Kara, Maggie too. But Kara insists that they should go eat something and head home. And they can come back later that night with some of her stuff.
Kara thought she want to be alone when she urged her sisters to go.
"How are you feeling?" Lena sits down at a chair beside the bed, taking up the empty space left by Alex and Maggie.
Kara's head is still bowed, showing Lena a side view of her face.
She's pale, and again, this makes Lena's heart aches.
"The pain meds have kicked in" Kara says blankly. The physical pain has been relived, thanks to the medication, but not the mental ones.
"Hey, it will be okay." Lena hesitated before placing her hand on Kara's.
The moment Lena's hand touches hers, Kara can feel a slight sense of electric spark sent through her.
It makes Kara looks up to face Lena.
And their eyes meet.
Blue and green.
And the world seems to stop, everything fading away.
There's that pain, that fear, that confusion in Kara's sapphire eyes, making Lena wants to take the blonde into her own arms.
There's that faith, that hope, that light in Lena's emerald eyes, making Kara starts to feel like it's possible for things to get better.
