A/N: Alliedstasis - It will be revealed how Krypto got to Earth in a few chapters. And also there will be something more to Kara's visions.
I'm really grateful to all of you for commenting and following.
"Okay, come on Krypto, come on boy." Alex called trying to get him off Kara who was sleeping under the lamps.
"What are you doing?" Kara asked as she was aroused from sleep.
"Your arm X-ray image came back, it's definitely broken. We need to put a cast on it." Alex explained as she started to prepare equipment.
"Can you bring some food for Krypto? He must be hungry." Kara asked petting the dog.
"We need to take care of your arm first and then I'll bring something for both of you."
"I'm not really hungry." Kara said sitting up.
"You haven't eaten anything for two days. You'll have to have something." Alex coaxed gently.
"I can't just sit here and do nothing while my mom is all alone out there." Kara said feeling guilty.
"That is exactly what you will be doing. You're hurt and you need to rest." Alex said sternly."Now, can you please get Krypto out of your bed ? He keeps ignoring me when I ask him to do something."
"He's just scared." Kara defended before looking at him and saying. "Buahn ile."
The command made the dog fly out of bed and stand next to Alex.
The room fell silent for a few minutes until Alex finally said.
"I'm sorry." She apologized while working on her sister's arm.
"For what?" Kara asked confused.
"Abandoning you." The agent clarified. "I hadn't realized how much I let you down until you disappeared."
"It's okay." Kara asked avoiding Alex's gaze.
"No, it's not. You're my sister and I promise to be a better sister from now on."
"Is it done?" Kara asked looking at her arm not wanting to dwell on the fact that Alex had to waste her time to take care of her. "I'm tired."
"Yeah, yeah all done." Alex said feeling even more guilty. "Wait here. I'll ask Winn to watch over Krypto."
"Why?"
"I need to take your blood and I don't want him to try to use his heat vision on me again."
"Oh, okay. Tell him to bring some toys. Krypto used to love playing with them on Krypton." Kara recalled with a smile.
"I'm sure he'll find something. I'll be right back." Alex promised squizzing her hand.
"Can you turn off the lamps for a while? My head hurts." Kara asked lying back down and covering her eyes.
"Okay, but only for a few minutes." Alex agreed before shutting them off and leaving the room.
"How is she?" J'onn asked after Alex approached the control room.
"Physically she should be okay." Alex assured them and added. "But she's convinced that Alura is still out there."
"When I came back to the cave it was empty and no one was nearby." J'onn informed her.
"What about the cave?" Winn asked turning around in his chair.
"What about it?" J'onn asked.
"Was there anything strange in there? Any weird looking plants producing toxins, maybe? It could have caused hallucinations, right?" Winn suggested trying to find a possible explanation.
"No. I have checked it thoroughly. It must be something else."
"She'd been working tirelessly before the accident and she's been through a lot these past few days. She just needs to rest." Alex said before looking at Winn. "I need you to take care of Krypto for a while."
"What? Why me?"
"You said you always wanted a pet."
"Yeah, but not the one which can kill me with heat vision or turn me into Popsicle." Winn countered nervously.
"You'll be fine. Just try not to annoy him like you do with the rest of us." The agent advised. "Go, integrate. I'll join you after I get something for Kara to eat."
"Don't worry Mr. Schott. Your health insurance will cover any damage." J'onn assured him before leaving.
"It so doesn't make me feel better." He muttered before walking towards the infirmary.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Alex asked bumping into Maggie on her way back to Kara.
"You weren't answering your phone after you'd texted me that your sister was back. Is she okay?" Maggie asked worried.
"She's hurt but she should be okay. I'll be staying with her for a few days."
"Of course. How are you holding up?" The detective asked gently. When Alex just shrugged and her eyes filled with tears Maggie came closer and hugged her.
"I have to go back to her." Alex said pulling out of the hug after she remember where they were.
"Alex? I've heard what happened. Can I see her?" James asked walking up to them.
"No. I have to make a few more tests and after that she needs to rest." The agent explained.
"Can you give her this when she feels better?" James asked handing her a folder. "Snapper wants her to rewrite it. I wouldn't bother her but after the last incident she's not in his good books."
"What incident?" Alex asked looking confused.
"She didn't tell you?" James asked surprised. After Alex shook her head he explained. "She wrote an article on Alien Drugs Smuggling based on an interview with the Alien who'd wished to remain anonymous. Snapper refused to publish it unless Kara revealed his identity, so she came to me and after she explained the situation I agreed to publish it. Snapper found out that Kara'd come to me behind his back and suspended her for a few days."
"That's why she's been so bummed out and instead of talking to her I just ignored her." The agent realized mad at herself for letting her sister down once again. "I have to go."
