Have a nice weekend!

Chapter Nine

Alex awoke to muffled sniffs coming from her sister to the side of her, slowly opening her eyes she could see silent tears rolling down Kara's cheeks. Not wanting to pull Kara to quickly out of her obvious nightmare, Alex slowly placed her hand around Kara's shoulders and pulled her sister into herself, hoping the contact would ease Kara slightly.

Kara opened her eyes carefully, sniffling and rubbing at her nose, looking into Alex's eyes and pursing her lips, the nightmare that had struck her once again finally coming into full transition. She had seen Jeremiah in her dreams. But he wasn't the Jeremiah she grew to love. He was mean, spiteful and had tried to kill her, all under the hands of Reign. How was Kara supposed to tell Alex all this? How would she react? Would she be mad at Kara for not helping get Jeremiah to safety? Would Alex push her to reminisce all these memories before she was ready? She wasn't sure she was ready to tell Alex until Kara herself was ready to process what she was recalling.

"Hey, whats wrong?" Kara could hear Alex trying to bring her back into the world of the living as she once again lost herself to her fears, forgetting her sister was laying next to her.

"Nothing Alex, I'm okay just old nightmares coming back to the surface." She lied, past nightmares weren't an issue no more, but right now she couldn't let Alex know the truth, it would kill her inside.

"Okay Kar..." Alex didn't believe her sister for a second. The crinkle was forming on Kara's forehead. But she wasn't about to tell her that. Obviously something was spooking Kara and Alex knew she couldn't press.. just yet.

A few days later and Kara was still struggling to come to terms with the horrors that had appeared in her dreams. She became socially secluded and stopped allowing Alex round to stay. Stating 'she was fine' and 'didn't need you to worry about me'. However inside she was screaming for help.

Finally after a week of being pushed away Alex felt it was time to bring in reinforcements to get her sister out of the shell she had come accustom too. Carrying a box of potstickers and pizzas she made her way to her sisters apartment with Winn and Lena in tow. Knocking before placing her key that she had into the door she walked into what could only be described as a pigsty. Sighing she placed the food on the kitchen counter and turned to Lena and Winn and instructed them that she was going to get Kara, and that they should start plating the food up as she would only be a second.

Tip toeing into Karas bedroom she glanced at the blonde who was drenched in sweat sleeping in her bed. Jumping in next to Kara she carefully shook the kryptonian and whispered in her ear, "potstickers, pizza and special guests are waiting for you, come on sis" Kara groaned and moved her head to look at her sister. "You don't need to be here, I was about to head out and do Supergirl stuff"

Sighing at the obvious lie Kara just said she replied "We're not taken no for an answer... come on." Slapping Kara on the back and bouncing up and down on the bed to try annoy Kara to moving.

"Errrrgh fine. But there better be loads of potstickers." Kara groaned.

"Of course i'm not stupid" Alex grinned, happy to see her sister finally socialise.

Kara and Alex walked arm in arm into the kitchen, where Kara was greeted to Lena and Winn chomping on some pizza.

"Hey you! How you feeling?" Lena questioned whilst swallowing a chunk of pizza.

"I'm ok thanks" Kara replied whilst motioning to Winn to pass her some potstickers.

"Good to hear. I've missed you! I have so much to tell you!" Lena excitedly replied.

Alex sat down next to Kara and looked to Lena, "Tell her Lena"

"Okay, okay. Well Kara, do you know how there is the statue unveiling for yourself at the water front on Saturday?" Lena smirked throughout her little speech.

"Oh yeah, thats soon isn't it.." Kara didn't seem as excited as previously thought.

"Yes it is, you better be there, National City would like to honour a true hero" Lena continued. "The exciting news I want to share is that it will be myself given the speech." Lena looked at Kara with a proud expression on her face, hoping to see the same glee on Karas face on knowing that her best friend would be celebrating her role in protecting the city in front of the citizens of National City. Ever since that fatal day where Alex nearly died in the plane Kara had be non-stop, not allowing any major harm to come without putting herself at risk to stop it.

"Oh wow. I don't know what to say.." Kara was stunned to think that it would be Lena talking in front of the crowd of people about her. Instead of the president or the mayor of the city. "I guess I should be making sure I'm nice to you so you don't say anything mean." Kara joked, internally questioning why there was a statue going up in her honour anyway after she couldn't even fully destroy Reign and save Jeremiah. However no one needed to know that.

"Well say you will be there." Lena looked at Kara, Winn and Alex just spectating the two woman's interaction.

"Of course I will." Kara smiled, hoping she looked more confident then she felt.

Alex felt a small victory had just been won with Kara, hopefully this was the start of Kara being more socially active with herself and friends. As the last couple days had been hard not knowing whether she was okay. Maybe after the statue reveal she would even come to her and tell her what had been causing her so much distress recently. Alex could hope at least.
