A/N: Sorry it has taken so long for an update. I sat down to write this chapter many times in the last month but nothing ever came to me. Wrote this over the last 2 days and hopefully I'll have another chapter posted in the next week. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Lucy was taking forever as usual to get ready. Alex was downstairs waiting for her girlfriend to put the finishing touches on her outfit and makeup. Alex had originally planned on wearing a dress but decided a simple, yet stunning suit would be best with Lucy's dress. Not that she wanted to ever treat Lucy as arm candy but tonight she kinda wanted to. She knew her girlfriend was going to be dressed to impress and she wanted to make sure she was dressed just as impressive but not so much that she out shined Lucy.

When Maggie had called earlier, she was a bit concerned that something major had happened and they would have to head back to National City. There was a reason she had left Maggie as J'onn's right hand woman. What Maggie and Lena were proposing was a great idea and she had no doubt that they would get results. Maybe not the results they had originally thought but results either way.

Lucy put the finishing touches on her make-up. She had promised Alex she was going to look sexy as hell tonight and she was going to deliver. Alex had teased her earlier about it taking two hours to get ready and Alex was definitely going to give her shit for it now. She hadn't originally intended to take this long but she wanted to try something new with her make-up and had to watch the tutorial several times to get it just right.

She walked downstairs to find Alex staring out the window. She was probably thinking about the phone call with Maggie earlier. She looked stunning in a fitted black pant suit. The pants were short, showing off a bit of her ankles and the heels accentuated her calves. The suit jacket was just fitted enough to highlight her lean frame. They were definitely going to be a stunning couple tonight.

Lucy quietly walked up to Alex and put a hand, gently, on her lower back. "Sorry I took so long. We've waited a long time for tonight and I wanted to make sure I knocked your socks off."

Alex turned toward Lucy and she indeed would have had her socks knocked off if she had been wearing them. Lucy hadn't been exaggerating about the dress and the heels. Alex almost couldn't form words. "It definitely was worth the wait." Alex held out her arm and escorted Lucy to the car. She was still worried about her sister and the new development in this mess with Lucy's father but for a few hours she was going to enjoy the company of her girlfriend.

National City

It hadn't taken J'onn long to approve of the plan Lena and Maggie had formulated that morning. Alex had given her the server name and passcode that she kept her encrypted file on Max. Only problem was Alex hadn't given her the password to the actual file. Because in Alex's mind an encrypted and password protected server wasn't safe enough. But that could wait, she had Vasquez get all the necessary paperwork together, so they could transfer Lillian to DEO custody. She was about to head to the garage to get the transport van ready when the kryptonite alarms started going off. "Vasquez please tell me Supergirl is nowhere near the kryptonite?"

"I can't get her tracker online. I have no way of knowing if she was near the blast. I've tried reaching her on her comms, but they are offline as well. J'onn is on his way to the blast area to see if she is there."

Maggie gripped the back of Vasquez chair. She didn't want to be the person who got Supergirl killed on her watch. Alex would never forgive her. Might even go as far as to kill her and hide the body so no one would ever be able to find it. Aside from Lucy, Kara was the most important person in Alex's life.

After what felt like an eternity J'onn confirmed he had an unconscious Supergirl and he would be at the DEO in 3 minutes. Maggie called Lena and had Hamilton start prepping the med bay. Lena was already on her way to the DEO and was 5 minutes away. Maggie released her grip on Vasquez's chair and made her way to the med bay to meet J'onn.

J'onn landed with Kara just as Maggie arrived. Kara didn't look good. She had definitely been attacked with some form of kryptonite again. Maggie didn't know much about the various different forms of kryptonite, but she knew the regular stuff left Kara's veins glowing green. Whatever this form was left Kara cold as ice and her veins pulsing with a silvery glow. Maggie was reaching for her phone in her back pocket when she felt a hand stop hers.

Lena could tell Maggie was terrified of loosing Kara. Especially when she had started making progress with Alex. She knew Maggie was going to call Alex and tell her to expect J'onn, so he could fly her back to the DEO to fix Kara, but Lena knew she could help Kara. If she tried everything, she knew on how to get the kryptonite out of the girl of steels system and wasn't successful then she would let Maggie call Alex.

She kept her hand on Maggie's and looked her in the eye, "I can save Kara, ok. I've got her Maggie. Alex isn't going to lose her little sister." She let go of Maggie's hand and started working on Kara. She also hoped that her revelation about knowing Kara's secret identity would distract Maggie enough for her to assess the situation.

Lena quickly looked over Kara and looked at her vitals. What she saw wasn't good. Kara's heart was beating faster than it should. If she was a human, she would have been dead by now. She felt cold to the touch but when Lena took her temperature it was extremely high for a kryptonian. She had an idea but the only person who would know the answer was in Colorado.

Colorado

Lucy was impressed. Not about Alex's selection of restaurant but the fact that merely 30 minutes away from Lena's place Alex had found one of the fanciest places Lucy has ever been to. They were quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Well Lena's place was in the middle of nowhere and this was a rather small town by her city girl standards but still this place was impressive.

"Alex you really have out done yourself. When you said fancy, I wasn't expecting this in the middle of nowhere Colorado."

Alex couldn't help the mischievous smirk that played across her lips. "Only the best for the best. Plus, I figured that your fancy black dress deserved more of an audience than just me, so I searched until I found the perfect place."

"So, she's into other people checking me out. Dually noted Danvers. If it helps it would appear that the couple to your left is extremely jealous of our devilishly good looks. Or they're extremely homophobic and can't stop staring at the atrocity that is us as a couple."

Alex stole a quick glance at the couple Lucy was referring to. The man looked curious as to how two beautiful women were together and his girlfriend/wife looked like she wanted to join in on whatever would be happening later tonight.

She also used her stealth training to look around the room and notice they were getting a few stares from several other tables as well. Alex hated what the looks did to her, but she got such a thrill from knowing that they were turning heads. It didn't matter for what reason. But despite all the eyes on her and her girl all she wanted to focus on was Lucy and how beautiful she was tonight.

Well Lucy was always beautiful but tonight that dress, the heels, the extra pop of color in her makeup, and the expertly tousled locks almost sent her over the edge. There server came, took their orders and thankfully left them alone.

"Why do you keep staring?" Lucy had caught Alex staring at her again and it didn't make her uncomfortable it was just unlike Alex to stare. Shoot her longing glances, sure, but outright staring wasn't like her.

"I'm just taking it all in."

"Taking it all in? What the hell does that even mean Danvers?"

Alex knew that Lucy knew what she meant by the starring. Lucy loved hearing Alex talk about what she was thinking and feeling. Because Lucy was very much a thoughts and feelings kind of person but only for people she cared about.

"Just how beautiful you are without even trying. Tonight, you are trying, and it hasn't gone unnoticed but just in a general sense. Still beating myself up over how oblivious I was to how undeniably attracted to women I am and how I passed up on the chance to be with you sooner. But most importantly taking in that this moment is happening. That we are here able to just be two normal human beings going out for a nice dinner and enjoying each other's company. Like normal couples do. Because let's face it we are anything but a normal couple."

Lucy took a sip of her wine, an excellent Cabernet selected by Alex, and took a moment to digest what Alex had said. They had talked about how oblivious Alex had been multiple times and the fact that she herself still couldn't get over it spoke volumes. But the fact that Alex found her beautiful even when she wasn't trying was great but the fact that she took notice of the extra effort she put in for their date tonight put a huge smile on her face.

"I know how attractive you find me Alex but the fact that you know I'm putting in a little extra effort to look good for you means more to me than any other compliment you could send my way. I have been to a few places like this with James put in a little extra effort to look nice and he didn't even notice. Honestly, I don't think he ever noticed how beautiful I was wearing sweatpants and an old t-shirt. But you do Alex and that means more than you can honestly imagine. It's been a long time since someone has admired me for me."

"It's a shame James seems like the type of guy that would. Maybe he is, and he just wasn't able to fully appreciate you for what you are. Which is a beautiful woman both inside and out. But James isn't a bad guy just not the person for you."

"You think you're that person Danvers?"

"I know I'm that person Lane." Alex was about to say something else, but her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see Lena calling her. There were only two people who were permitted to contact her, and Lena wasn't one of them. She answered anyway. She knew Lena was on the DEO payroll as a consultant and it could have something to do with their current situation and they didn't have time to go through proper protocols.

"Danvers."

"Alex It's Lena. I know I shouldn't be contacting you, but it is a matter of life and death for Kara."

Alex looked at Lucy and immediately knew Lucy was aware of the severity of the situation. "What is wrong with Kara?"

"She was hit with another form of kryptonite. She's cold to the touch but her internal temp is extremely high for a kryptonian. I think the only way to fight this is with a blood transfusion, but I don't know if Clark is a close enough match to her blood type. If he isn't then I don't know what else to do."

Alex very quickly had to come to terms that Lena knew that Kara was Supergirl and the fact that her sister was dying, possibly from some synthetic kryptonite from Maxwell Lord. Lena was on the right track with the blood transfusion, but Kara and Clark weren't an exact match. Lena would have to do some manipulation to Clarks blood to make it match Kara's. What needed to be done couldn't be explained over the phone.

"Lena have J'onn get a hold of Clark. Tell him Kara is dying and he needs to get to National City asap. Then have J'onn come get me. But have him bring Maggie to keep an eye on Lucy. Things have been quiet here, but I wouldn't put it past whoever the players are to try and get at Lucy while I'm away or make this out to be worse than it is, so they can get at some other information they need. In the meantime, keep Kara in as cold of a room as you possibly can. Also, if it's possible keep the sunlamps on her but not on the highest setting. We'll talk about you knowing Kara's secret identity later."

"Got it Director Danvers. We'll be awaiting your arrival." Alex sounded like a disapproving older sibling, but Lena knew she wasn't actually mad. J'onn left before Lena could even relay the information. That spoke volumes to how dire this situation was. For the first time since she met Kara, she was worried that she might actually loose her friend. Alex sounded calm on the phone but that could be her government training. Lena was so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed Maggie was still there.

"Why didn't J'onn take you with him?"

"He said there was no way Lucy was going to stay behind so he left me here."

"He probably made the right choice. I just hope Alex isn't mad that I never said anything about knowing Kara was Supergirl."

"I don't think you have that to worry about but what I would worry about is if we can't save Kara. Alex is madly in love with Lucy but not even Lucy will be able to console Alex if we lose her sister."

Lena knew Maggie was right and she didn't want to dwell on that thought to long. She took some samples to the lab to start running tests. Hopefully J'onn would be back with Alex soon.

Colorado

Lucy saw just how quickly the confused look left Alex's eye's to be replaced with absolute panic. That could only mean something was wrong with Kara. Her suspicions were confirmed a few seconds later. J'onn was coming to get Alex and leave Maggie with her. If Kara was dying there was no way Lucy was staying behind. Alex hung up the phone threw a handful of bills on the table from her clutch and took Lucy by the hand.

"What's happened to Kara?"

Alex didn't answer until they had reached the car. "Kara was hit with a new type of kryptonite and it doesn't look good. Can you grab my earpiece out of the glove box?" Lucy retrieved the earpiece and handed it to Alex. She placed it in her ear and tried to get a hold of J'onn, "J'onn can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear Alex."

"Lucy and I aren't at the house we're outside of a restaurant 30 minutes northwest of there."

"Copy that I'll be there in 2 minutes."

"You know I'm coming with you right?"

"J'onn is bringing Maggie to hold down the fort here. I don't want you going back to National City only for us to be attacked out of nowhere."

"Alex has it even crossed your mind that they attacked Kara, so you would have to come back to National City and leave me alone. Not that Maggie and I couldn't keep ourselves safe but it would be the thing I would do if I was them. Besides if something happens to Kara, I want to be there with you."

Alex had to admit Lucy did have a point. She didn't have time to argue because J'onn had just walked up to the car without Maggie. She turned toward Lucy and wasn't prepared for the devilish smirk. "Papa bear knows me well."

Alex rolled her eyes, "Let's just get out of here." They couldn't waste any more time she had to save her sister.
