The funny thing about love is one minute you're an individual whose life isn't connected to another and then suddenly in the blink of an eye your life is woven and entangled in that person's. You suddenly can't remember a day when they weren't in your life and can't imagine another day with them not in it.

Lena entered Kara's room to find Eliza sitting by the bed holding her daughter's hand as she slept. Lena turned to leave and give the mom some time when she was stopped by a voice.

"Lena, dear you can stay," Eliza said with a smile on her face. She motioned to the chair across from her on the other side of the bed.

"Are you sure? I can come back if you want some alone time with her," Lena said as she hesitated at the door.

"Yes, I am sure. Plus, I could use some company and the more people here with Kara the better for her," Eliza said as she looked at her daughter sleeping with sad eyes. Lena made her way over to the chair and sat as Eliza turned back to her. "You know when Kara first arrived, she would fight sleep constantly. She would get nightmares every time she closed her eyes and so her solution was to just try to stop sleeping all together. For a while, she would only sleep a few hours a night if that and then one day I went in Kara's room in the morning and found that Alex had gotten in bed with her in the middle of the night. Kara was sleeping so peacefully just like she is now," Eliza motioned to Kara who was sound asleep on the bed and smiled at the memory of her two daughters. Lena had grabbed Kara's hand during the middle of the story and was lightly rubbing circles over her knuckles. She was happy that for now Kara seemed at peace.

"Do you know that Kara used to call me all the time after you two met and would tell me about you," Eliza said as Lena shook her head no but smiled at hearing that. "Yeah she used to tell me about her amazing friend who also happened to be in charge of a company. I think I knew Kara was falling in love with you before she even did," Eliza said as both women laughed.

"Eliza your daughter is very important to me. She has changed my life for the better and I will forever be grateful for that." Lena said as she looked at Kara.

"Lena you have also changed her life. Every time she talks about you, she lights up and I can tell how happy you make her so thank you for that." Eliza said as Lena looked back at her. Lena didn't know how to feel. She was used to having her walls up but here was this woman sitting in front of her saying that she was good enough for her daughter. That meant more to her than Eliza would ever know. For a split second she imagined what it would be like to have a mother figure in her life again. At a loss for words she just nodded her head at Eliza who stood up after a minute and kissed Kara on the forehead and then made her way out of the room.

"Everything she said is true," Kara softly said as Lena slightly jumped. Lena hadn't realized that Kara had been awake and had heard part of that conversation. "Lena you filled up a hole in my heart that I didn't even know I had. You are more than enough for me and I don't want you to ever question that," Kara finished as Lena got in the bed next to her with tears in her eyes. Lena cuddled up to Kara as best as she could without hurting the girl anymore. "Kara everything you just said about me is how I feel about you. You are the first person who has looked past my name right away and judged me for the person I am and not the name I carry." Lena said as she ran her fingers through Kara's hair and the two girls eventually drifted off to sleep.

Alex had been working in her lab when Eliza came in after a while and sat down.

"How's Kara doing," Alex asked without looking up from her work.

"She was sleeping when I left but Lena is sitting in there with her," Alex smiled at knowing that Kara wasn't alone. "Have you figured out why Kara's cells aren't recharging themselves," Eliza asked and watched her older daughter furrow her brow.

"I don't know. They should be recharging but the are not. The only thing I can think of is that she was drained twice in a row and maybe it is going to take longer for her powers to come back this time." Alex said.

"Have you considered the possibility that they might not come back," Eliza said, and Alex finally lifted her head up from staring at the paperwork she was looking at.

"I don't want to get to that conclusion until I have looked at every solution first," Alex said. "I am going to have you, dad, and Lena look over the data and see if you can find anything I couldn't," Alex said. "But for now, I don't want Kara to know. There is no need to freak her out if they are going to come back." Alex said and watched her mom's expression change.

"Alex, I understand wanting to protect Kara, but she has a right to know that she might never get her powers back. I think that we should really consider talking to her about it. We obviously will keep looking for solutions but for the time being she needs to be aware of the fact that she might not get to be Supergirl again." Eliza said.

"As much as I don't want to tell her, I know you are right. We can tell her, but can we at least wait until tomorrow. I want to talk to Clark first and see if he can come in. He is the only other person who knows what it is like to lose their powers and he might be good for Kara to talk to about it." Alex continued as Eliza shook her head to signal yes.

Kara slept peacefully down the hall completely unaware of the fact that her life might never be the same.
