Thank you Bia Moraes for the prompt that inspired this chapter: A mission goes wrong causing Kara to lose her sight temporarily and Alex has to help her until she recovers. It was so much fun to write.

I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

"I can't see."

"What do you mean you can't see?"

"I mean I literally can't see," Kara said from her position on the ground, sitting crisscross with her hands resting in her lap after the alien they were fighting had produced purple light from its eyes and aimed it directly at Kara.

"Kara."

"Aleeeex, I'm serious."

"Okay, okay… let me check," Alex said, shining a light in Kara's eyes and waiting for a reaction. Instead, she stared blankly in front of her.

With a surge of worry and muttered curse Alex clicked of the flashlight and turned to J'onn where he was fighting off the alien, filling in when Kara had stumbled down. "Hank," Alex called, being sure to use his pseudonym when they were around other people. "We have a problem."

He glanced over.

"Supergirl can't see."

At that, Kara smiled, looking almost proud, and waved in what she though was J'onn's direction. Instead, she was waving a solid ninety degrees to his left, her hand hitting Alex's leg.

J'onn gave Alex an all clear to go, letting her know that he and the rest of the DEO agents would finish up with the alien

Alex looked back down at Kara, taking her little sister's hand as she continued to wave.

"Okay," Alex said and patted Kara's shoulder before pulling the blonde to her feet. "Let's get you back to the DEO and figure out what's going to here."

"Got it," Kara said with a nod and started walking in the opposite direction.

Alex rolled her eyes and quickly put her arms on Kara's shoulders, redirecting her toward a DEO van. "It's this way, sweetheart."

"Right." Kara gave a determined nod and followed beside Alex, taking small, slow steps and clinging to her hand with as much dignity as possible.

It took an embarrassing ten minutes to walk to the car, but Alex didn't care. Kara's calm demeanor would wear off soon enough, and Alex needed to make sure she was okay.

In the hour long car ride back to the base Kara's rushed and nervous chatter had faded to silence by the time they reached the facility.

"Hey, we're here. You ready?" Alex said, opening the car door for Kara and helping her out.

Kara tucked herself under Alex's arm as they entered the base. It was loud, her superhearing especially active without her sight. The inability to see was starting to freak her out, it reminded her of the darkness of space when she was all alone in it; it reminded her of the phantom zone.

"You doing okay?" Alex asked, guiding them both down the hall.

Kara nodded, mussing her hair on Alex's tactical suit. The younger Danvers sniffled a little and pressed closer against Alex. "It's loud," Kara murmured.

Alex stroked Kara's hair, pulling her tighter. "We're almost there."

"Better?" Alex asked a moment later, leading them into the lab and closing the door.

Kara nodded, giving Alex a thanks and untangling herself from her big sister. Kara rubbed her eyes and wished she could see again. "It was kind of funny when this first happened, but now I'm a little scared," Kara said quietly.

"I know," Alex said as she sat Kara on the examination table. "But we'll fix it, until then we'll just hang out and I'll take care of you. No need to worry."

Kara nodded. "Thanks."

Alex smiled even though Kara couldn't see it. "Anytime, baby sister."

She shuffled around for a bit, looking over Kara's medical tests before the younger Danvers spoke up again. "Alex?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm bored."

Alex sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'm not done examining you, but like I thought earlier, the effects of the alien's light are definitely temporary. It seems to be an extreme version of flash blindness, so I expect your vision should begin to return in a few hours."

"What am I going to do until then?"

"We'll go home. You should probably rest for a while," Alex said.

"What time is it?" Kara asked from her position on the couch, seated in her apartment.

"A little past 3:00"

Kara nodded, then stood up suddenly, nearly tripping. "Shoot! Alex, I need to go. I have to help Cat prep for the most important meeting."

Alex put a hand on Kara's shoulder and pushed her back into a sitting position. "You are not going anywhere, Miss."

"No, Alex, you don't understand. I have to go."

"Nothing's more important than your health," Alex said, thwarting another one of Kara's attempts to stand up. "Take it easy for-" Alex paused, interrupted by her phone's ringing.

She stepped away for a moment, pacing and pulling a hand through her hair as she talked. "Yeah… I understand… I know, I know… Okay… yeah… I'll see what I can do…" She hung up and turned back to Kara. "Kar, J'onn needs me back at the DEO. Says it's crucial, but I can figure out a way to stay if you want me to? Or you can come with?"

Kara followed Alex's voice and smiled. "Go, I'll be fine. I'll probably just take a nap or something."

Alex shifted her weight, biting her lower lip. "I really don't want you being alone right now. Are you sure?"

Kara nodded vigorously in response. "I think I can survive a few hours."

A sigh slipped from Alex's lips. "All right." She hugged Kara and pressed a kiss to her sister's hair, ruffling it slightly. "I'll be back in a few hours tops, hopefully sooner. You need anything before I go?"

"Could I have my phone, please? So I can call you in case I need something."

"Of course," Alex said, giving Kara her phone.

Kara pocketed the device and snuggled into the couch. "I'll see you in a little bit," the blonde said.

"Please, please call me no matter what, Kara. I don't care if it's small. I'm so sorry about this."

"It's not a big deal, and I promise I'll call if anything happens. Now go, that way you'll get back sooner."

Alex and she exchanged goodbyes one last time before Alex slipped out the door. Kara immediately pulled her phone out of her pocket and fumbled with the numbers until she clicked what she hoped was Winn's speed dial.

She sighed in relief a minute later when Winn's voice came through the phone. "Winn," she said. "I need to ask you a huge favor."

"Remind me why I'm doing this again?" Winn asked as they rode the CatCo building's elevator.

"Because I really need your help and I promised I'd buy you whatever candy you want."

"Right," he said with a nod.

Kara smoothed her skirt. "And everything looks okay? It's kind of hard when I can't see."

"It's perfect," he said as the elevator dinged and the doors opened.

"How exactly do you plan on doing this?" he asked as they stepped out.

Out of habit, Kara pushed up her glasses. "To be honest, I have no idea."

"Kiera, you're late," Cat Grant called from her office.

"I know. I'm so sorry, Ms. Grant. You see, I had an emergency and- "

Cat held up a hand, silencing Kara. "I don't care. I need you in my office now."

"Right… Yeah, of course," Kara said, trying desperately to visualize the office in her head and use sound to guide her.

"Why are you moving so slow?" Cat said with a snap of her fingers. "Let's go. We have things to do." Kara heard Cat turn on her heel, heading back into the office.

Kara bit her lip, screaming a small pep talk in her mind as she hesitantly shuffled toward Cat's office. Her thigh slammed against a desk and she let out a sharp yelp as the table groaned against the ground. This is bad, she thought, this is so bad. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, lowering her head.

Cat looked up, brows raised. "Where are you going? I said my office, now."

"Sorry," Kara said quickly and used Cat's voice to guide her into the office. "What would you like me to do?"

Cat was silent, squinting as she studied Kara. "You can't see me."

Kara wrinkled her nose and waved her hand dismissively. "Pshh, what? Of course I can…"

"Really?" Cat said, receiving a nod from Kara in response. "Hmm." Cat murmured, her hand hovered over her desk, selecting a pen and tossing it toward Kara.

"What was that for?!" Kara exclaimed a minute later, when a foreign object collided lightly with her side.

"Just confirming that you, in fact, can't see," Cat said, and Kara listened as the older woman made her way out from behind the desk and bent down to pick up the pen.

Kara swallowed and bit her bottom lip again.

"Well?" Cat prompted. The sound of her foot tapping impatiently on the ground filled the room and Kara shifted uncomfortable, wrapping an arm around herself then dropping it.

"You see, I, um, well…"

"She was… in an accident!" Winn said, appearing behind Kara, who nodded vigorously in support of his answer. "A bad accident," she added on, "But not, like, super bad. It wasn't bad bad… Just sort of bad, kind of—what I'm trying to say is I'm okay."

Cat stood in front of the pair, eyes shifting between them. The sharpness of her gaze made Winn temporarily wish that he was the blind one.

"What she's trying to say is that she has flash blindness from a minor explosion and is explicitly disobeying her doctor's orders not to attend work."

Shit. Kara grimaced, her stomach dropping at the sound of Alex's voice. She spun around in the direction of her sister's voice, accidently knocking into Winn as she did so.

"An explosion?" Cat inquired.

"Kara was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, the police handled it."

"Interesting," Cat said dryly, wearing what Kara could only assume was an amused expression. "And you are?" she asked, looking at Alex.

"Alex Danvers, Kara's sister."

"My sister," they answered at the same time, Kara's response punctuated with a groan.

Cat looked at Winn. "You may go," she said waving him out before facing the sisters.

"Kiera, while I appreciate your… persistence in showing up to work, you are of no help to me when you can't see. I want you to go home, follow your doctor's orders and come back when your vision has returned."

"Understood," Kara said with a firm nod.

"Good. Let your sister take you home and don't try something like this again."

"Okay. Thank you, Ms. Grant," Kara said, turning and allowing Alex to lead her out of the office.

"One more thing," Cat said, causing Kara to pause mid-step and face her again. "I hope you feel better soon, Kiera," the older woman said with a rare, small smile.

"Thank you," Kara said, a smile pulling at her lips as she left, entering the elevator with Alex.

As soon as the doors closed, Kara spoke, disbelief coloring her voice. "Was she smiling when she said that?"

"Yes," Alex answered, causing Kara to grin even wider. "My turn to ask a question."

"Sure."

"What the hell were you thinking, Kara?"

Kara flinched at the volume of her sister's voice before answering. "I just wanted to help. You know how much I hate letting people down."

"It's not letting people down when you're hurt, Kara," Alex said, seeming to soften a bit. "You've got to take care of yourself. As much as you hate disappointing people, I hate seeing you in pain or neglecting yourself. Do you know how terrifying it was to see your apartment empty? And then you must have had your phone muted because you weren't answering any of my calls… It's a good thing I have a tracker in your phone."

"You have a what?!" Kara sputtered.

Alex rolled her eyes. "Yes, I tracked your phone and no, it's not the first time I've done it."

"That's ridiculous! You're infringing on my privacy."

"Kara, I'm your big sister, it's practically my job to infringe on your privacy. Plus, someone has to look out for you if you won't do it."

Kara sighed heavily. "Thank you," she said, leaning her head on Alex's shoulder as they walked out onto the sidewalk. "Sorry I'm difficult to handle sometimes."

Alex shook her head and tugged Kara into a gentle side hug. "You're not difficult. You're perfect."

Kara smiled, shuffling down the street. "I have no idea where I'm going," she admitted a moment later, furthering her point with dramatic hand gestures.

"Yeah, I know," Alex said with a laugh and steered Kara in the opposite direction, keeping an arm wrapped around her sister's shoulder. "I've got you."
