"Yes..Yes Vasquez. I know-"
Kara paced back and forth, on the phone with the DEO Agent, who was kept interrupting her.
"Listen."She waved her hand, as if the other woman could see her. It was late in the evening and the Moonlight was the only thing illuminating the living Room Area.
"I know it is not much to go on, but you have t try. Please. If anyone can do it, it's you."She turned the corner and peaked into the bedroom, seeing her sister still sound asleep. The Phone was still pressed to her ear and she closed to door slowly to fully concentrate on the conversation again. The other Agent was rambling.
"Vasquez!", she whisper yelled.
"We have to do something. I know it seems impossible and its very dangerous, but you have to try. Please, for me."
Her voice softened.
"For her."
Silence filled the apartment for a few seconds.
"Oh! Thank you! Yes...Yes Keep me posted. I will be there as soon as I can. Yes I will. Thank you. Really." She waited for the reply and than hung up with a quick goodbye.
A small smile played on her lips. They would find out what had happened. Kara still had Hope. Maybe they were still alive, maybe they got out in time and were in hiding. Maybe Kara could bring them home. She had to try at least.
The Hero really wanted to stay with her sister, making sure she was OK and cared for, but she also had to do this. She was really torn on what to do, nervously biting her lips. Then, she made up her mind and unlocked her phone again. After the 3rd ring an answer came.
"Winn! Hey. I need a favor!"

One and a half hour later Winn was sitting in the older Danvers Apartment. His best friend had left about an hour ago and he was nervously tapping his foot. Although seated in front of the TV, he couldn't seem to relax. Of course he was in the light with everything that had happened and everything that was going on. That didn't take away the respect and slight Fear he had for the Agent. He knew she was not in on this and probably wouldn't appreciate the gesture. Just like that his thoughts were interrupted by someone calling his Name from behind him.
"Winn?"
He jumped up quickly and turned around.
"Alex! Hi! Um h-how are you doing? Did you sleep alright? I'm sorry if I woke you."
The Agent didn't respond to any question, she just looked around the Room nervously.
"Where is Kara?"
"Um..She had to go..She um Miss Grant needed her. There was no way around it. Yup, couldn't do this very important thing without her. This um Thing..Anyways, she said she was sorry but, but that shell be back as soon as she can."
Silence felt the Room. Winn giving her and awkward smile as the Agent just frowned at him. She really wasn't in the Mood for this.
"I don't need a Babysitter.", she said as she walked to the fridge to get a water.
"I know!", the reply cam a little to enthusiastic. So he settled down when he continued.
"S-she knows. I mean we know."
He avoided the brunette's gaze.
"It's just that in case you needed anything. She didn't want to just leave, but also didn't want to wake you."
Alex was boiling on the inside. Knowing her sister only meant well, but mad and embarrassed at the fact that the blonde got someone to watch over her. She saw a chance in the whole situation though, maybe she would be able to do something she was thinking about for days, but had no chance with when her sister was there. She moved over to Winn, sat on the sofa and faked a smile at him.
"Winn. I get it, really. You guys only tried to do what's best. Thank you for that."
Winn had a big smile on his face, happy that he could help.
"It's just that.."
Alex let out a long breath and then got of the sofa.
"Nevermind."
Winn frowned at her.
"Anyway I'm going back to bed. Help yourself with what you can find and Thanks again."
She was about to walk of when he stopped her.
"Wait! What is it..Maybe I can help." He took the bait.
"Nothing, I'm just a little hungry, that why I woke up. Kara and I had Takeout planed. But I wouldn't ask you to go get me Food."
"Oh don't worry about it! I'm happy to!" Winn was already up, his jacket in hand.
"What are you feeling like?"
"No Winn it's fine really."
"Ill just grab some Chinese and be right back. Don't you worry about a thing."
He finished and walked out the Door, giving the Agent one last quick smile, happy he could provide some help. When the Door closed behind him Alex took a deep Breath, it was the first time she was alone since she got back, really alone. She started to panic, but pushed all of those feelings aside and rushed into the Bedroom to change. She had to get out of there.

Supergirl was in the control Room, her and a few other Agents were looking at Maps and other Data to see where Cadmus could be and what was left of it. When her Earpiece rang she excused herself and turned around to take the call.
"Hey Winn! How are things looking?"
A frantic reply came fast.
"Kara I'm sorry! I was gone for 20 minutes. I think she played me she..I'm sorry." Her smile suddenly turned into a frown.
"Hold up! Slow down! What happened?" The concern was clear in the Hero's voice.
Winn took a calming breath.
"She's gone. Alex is gone."
"What do you mean she's gone?! Where did she go?"
"I don't know! I left to get some Takeout and when I got back...she Was gone."
Kara slammed her hand against her thigh.
"Dammit!"
She started pacing slightly, trying to think of a plan.
"Alright. You sit tight in case she comes back. I will..I will search the city and try to find her."
"Ok. Kara I'm sorry really I-"
"I know. It's although. Just hang on..I'll call you when I find her. You do the same."
"Alright."
With that she hung up and started walking towards the DEO exit. And then flying back to the city as fast as she could.

A couple of hours had passed and Kara was now on her sisters sofa, she had sent Winn home. He had complained but she said she could handle it. Supergirl had searched every inch of the city and hadn't found her sister anywhere. She was exhausted, but couldn't even think about sleeping before Alex was back. Horrifying scenarios played out in her head, when she thought about where her sister could be or what could happen to her. She was still in her Supergirl costume, debating whether to go out there again or to stay and wait.
The decision was taken from her when she heard a key turn in the lock and the door open shortly after. Alex walked in, stumbling slightly. She was holding up her hand which was bleeding. The cause was a deep cup in the palm of her hand. Also, she reeked of Alcohol.
"Alex!" Kara shouted and was at her sisters side half a second later.
She couldn't decide between anger, relief or concern, so she settled for all tree of them at once.
"What the hell were you thinking! What happened? Are you OK? I have to get you to a Hospital! Why would you just leave like that?! You could've just let me know!" She was franticly checking her sister over, wrinkling her Nose from the strong smell that came from her.
"Ka.."
"Lets get you cleaned up and I will take a look at that cut. See if we have to go and get you stitches"
"Kara I'm.."
"Don't. We'll talk about it tomorrow. When you're all sober and better."
Kara didn't look her sister in the eyes the whole time and turned the other way to direct her towards the bathroom.
"Kara! I'm not.." Alex stopped and pulled her arm free from her sisters grip, stumbling back in the process.
"Just look at me for a second. I-"
"No Alex! That's the thing! I CAN'T look at you!" Kara was shouting as she spun around.
"You promised! After everything that happened tree years ago. You promised! You said you'd never do it again! You don't even know! You don't know how I begged you or how I picked you up from different Bars every single night! I begged and cried for you! I wanted to have my sister back and you ignored it! You ignored ME & your words...they Hurt so much. Damn you didn't even remembered the next morning! Pretended that nothing happened & PROMISED me it wouldn't happen again. Just for us to go through the same game the next night. And here we are again! I leave you alone for five freaking seconds & you go out and do this?!"
Her voice softened at the last part
"And get yourself hurt to?"
Kara stopped her rant and looked her sister in the eyes. Oddly enough they didn't seem glazed over and glossy like they usually did.
"Kara.."Alex voice was shaking. She had no idea that her sister felt this way
"I'm not drunk. I didn't have one sip."
The blondes shoulders slumped over in disappointed, she had hoped that her speech had some kind of effect on the Agent.
"Alex..Please. Just don't. Don't lie to me. I can smell it all over you. You told me that a Million times before."
She tugged her sisters arm again and hung her head.
"Let me just clean you up and take care of your hand. We'll talk about it in the morning." The Hero sounded defeated.
"You probably won't remember.", she mumbled to herself.
"No. Kara listen."
Alex tugged her arm free once more and used her good hand to spin the Alien around by her shoulder.
"I'm telling the truth. Just look at me. I'm sorry. I did went out to get drunk. I bought a bottle and sat on a park bench for a long time. I started feeling really bad about everything. About what I was putting you through...so I couldn't. I couldn't let you deal with one more thing. Even though it would have felt so good to make everything go numb for a while. But I promised didn't I? I felt terrible, so I got up and tried to get back as fast as possible, I tripped when I was running with the bottle in my hand. That's how I cut my hand and got the Liquor all over myself."
She took a deep Breath.
"I am really telling the truth here. I'm sorry." Tears were welling up in the older sisters eyes.
"I'm sorry that I'm making you feel that way." She was about to ask for forgiveness one more time when her sisters arms wrapped around her faster than she could look. Her grip making it almost hard to breathe.
"Oh god. Thank you. Thank you for keeping your promise."
Alright guys, really didn't plan this chapter to got this way, but it kinda happened. Well. What do you guys think about it? Thanks for all the reviews and all the people who take the time to read! You are the best.
