FIVE

DEO Medical Bay

Alex wished that she would never have to hear the beeping of a heart monitor again. The first time had been traumatizing: when her mother had been involved in a hit-and-run because Kara ran out onto the road. Alex had loathed Kara; a huge flood of curses and insults had ran out of her mouth as she saw with her young, fifteen-year-old eyes as her mother flew across the concrete road, motionless.

But now she hated herself for hating her sister. Her sister who laid equally as motionless; the steady beat of the heart monitor was the only thing that kept Alex from going on a Sue-Sylvester-style rampage that included her much feared Alex-Rant.

Alex gently picked up Kara's limp hand, and watched as her chest rose up and down. Her eyes drifted over her sister's bandaged face. She brought her other hand to caress the Kryptonian's face.

She smiled, and whispered: "Oh, Kara."

Suddenly, there was a cough behind her. Alex whipped her head around to see a ruddy-eyed Lena Luthor walk in. "What do you want?"

"Nothing." Lena quickly said, avoiding Alex's eyes. She knew Kara's sister to a certain extent, but she felt now was not the time to bond and reminisce. Instead, she rapped her knuckled against the glass door and watched Supergirl breathe.

"Are you close?" she asked in a small voice."

Alex evidently avoided the question and replied: "Don't you need to visit Sam?" Her voice was filled with more animosity than she had wanted.

Lena's alluring green eyes were filled with despondency. "No." She sighed. "She is with Ruby. But she's safe."

Alex glared at Lena, and Lena bit her lip knowing that those were the wrong words. "I'm sorry." She whispered but Alex ignored it and stood aggressively. She strode out of the room, a tear trickling down her face as she wiped her eye – not before she threw another vicious glare at the Luthor.

Lena knew that Alex hated her. Had it not been for her, Supergirl would have not been injured and in such pain. Lena's hands trembled as she reached forward for Supergirl, her eyes wide as she saw the cuts and bruises mend in the gilt light of the sun lamps.

"Supergirl." Lena said softly. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. It was not your fault. I should have told you about Sam. It's my fault." Ire boiled her blood and she spoke again but with more vehemence.

"This is my fault. For God's sake it's my bloody fault! I hurt you! I can't... You have protected me on countless occasions and I stab you in the back? That's not how friends work. I'm no friend. I mean, come on Supergirl, look at you – you're hurt and you could die and it's all because I'm a... I'm a Luthor! You shouldn't have trusted me in the first place! I should have told you! How can you save the world if you don't know everything! Its my fault."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she rubbed her eyes. She clenched her fists until they were stark-white.

"No it isn't."

Lena jumped at the sound of the hoarse voice that was unmistakably the Kryptonian's. "Supergirl." Lena breathed out, feeling a wave of relief engulf her.

"How... How are you feeling?"

"Like I got hit by a train." Kara mumbled: "And then the train dumped all of its cargo on me. Because of that, I got pushed over the railways and into an immense chasm. This chasm was full of scathing hot lava. Then, multiply that pain by...how about 10? No, ten thousand."

Supergirl smiled weakly and offered a laugh. Lena returned the favour.

"I never knew Kryptonian's were so sarcastic and witty."

Kara coughed, raising her hand slightly as she pointed a finger at the scientist. "It's not your fault." Lena looked into Supergirl's beguiling blue eyes, and she feared that if she looked for too long, she would be lost in them.

"It is."

"No." Kara managed, she tried to sit up, but the various wires attached to her body prevented her from doing so. "It isn't. I should have trusted you. I shouldn't have gone behind your back and told James to spy on you."

Lena opened her mouth to speak, but Kara stopped her.

"Please don't tell me otherwise. Maybe if I hadn't got so caught up on the fact you're a Luthor then... And I'm the one who believed in you first and I completely ignored the countless times you've saved me."

"How have I saved you, Supergirl?" Lena said with more rage that she had originally intended. Lena threw her hands in front of her aggressively and yelled:

"I nearly killed you! I got distracted by Sam and forgot about you...Had I not, the cure would be ready and I could have saved you, Kara!"

Silence followed. Layers of tension had been gradually building up and Lena had cut them all of using a slick knife.

Kara was taken aback. She forgot about the anguish she was in and her eyes were wide. Words could not form. Kara Danvers was in shock.

Lena knew. Lena Luthor knows.

Fear took hold of Kara quickly, and she gulped. Lena knew. How could she let this happen? How could she have put her friend in danger?

"How...?" Kara trailed off.

Lena gritted her teeth, her ire dissolving away. "I always knew Kara," she said, a small smile playing on her lips as tears ran from her eyes. "When I first met you, I was lost in those-" Lena paused, wiping a tear. Kara's eyes were locked on Lena. For that one moment, it could seem that they were the only ones in the world.

"Those damn ethereal eyes of yours. And when my device that permitted me to scan for aliens supposedly 'broke', I saw that heat-vision was the only cause for its demise. And it broke after you, Kara. I refused to believe it, of course – but then when you always sided with Supergirl, I had gut feeling. And how you felt close to Sam. And how whenever I see you, its like a huge floodgates have been opened and my heart is subject to genuine happiness warm."

"But-" Kara tried, but with one smooth action, Lena pressed her rosy lips against Kara's.

Kara's eyes were wide, but she didn't fight back. Instead, she took her pale hands and grasped Lena's face, pulling her closer. Lena complied.

They hadn't care in the world. Such huge amounts of bliss streamed into Lena's heart and she was encapsulated by the moment: the moment that she had longed for.

When they came apart, all of the noise of the DEO was audible again. It was as if they had been taken out of monotone of reality and brought into their own little place. And at that little place, the sounds of reality had faded into background noise so that they could cherish the moment.

Kara could feel Lena's breath against her cheek. It was tickling her. Kara laughed gently and stared into Lena's emerald green eyes. They were breathtaking.

"Oh. My. God."

The two people whipped their heads around, surprised by the sudden interruption. Red-faced, they faced Winn Schott.

Winn was leaning casually against the frame of the glass door, his eyes glued to the two women. "Well," he said, raising his hands slowly. "Its about time." A grin was plastered across his face, and Lena awkwardly smiled back.

Kara, however, burst out into a mix of laughter and coughing and spluttering. Winn walked forward and whispered something in Kara's ear.

More laughter erupted from Kara, but Lena worriedly said: "Stop laughing. You'll rip your stitches."

Winn raised his eyebrows, and walked out, not before winking at them.

The Kryptonian cried out as he went out: "I will not be singing Summer Nights with Lena, Schott!"

As soon as Kara said that, Lena couldn't help but join in on the fun and started chuckling.

They both hugged each other tautly, and Winn looked back shaking his head.

"Yes you will, Kara Danvers. Yes you will."
