"So I am causing her pain? I don't get it. How?", Alex looked up from her hands, unshed Tears in her eyes. After they had left the Room, Hank guided her all the way down the Hallway into a private Room where he had her sit down before he started to tell the whole story. She had listened carefully, clinging to every word.
"Yes", her first Tear fell.
"But how? I still don't get it." Alex still wondered Hank didn't tell her about the Kryptonite yet. He was pushing that part as much away possible.
"The person who captured you he.." Director Henshaw took a deep breath, he was sure delivering all this information wouldn't be easy. He knew Alex would take it hard. Everyone would, but especially her. She was practically raised to protect Kara, keep her safe and make sure she was alright. Finding out what had happened, it would break her. Nevertheless, he continued. "...he put a piece of highly concentrated Kryptonite...He put it in your Body."
"Wh-What do you mean?" Alex went about tree different shades of pale in that very moment. "That's crazy! That can't be. There must have been a mistake", she felt like she was in a Nightmare that she couldn't wake up from.
"I'm sorry, it's true. He wanted to find out Supergirls true identity and figured out that you two had some sort of connection. He put the Kryptonite inside of you to see if Kara would just fly of or getting you out without her powers and weak and risking dying with you instead. Like one would most likely only do for family."
She still didn't believed him. The look she gave him, Hank would never forget that look. "No. I'm sorry I don't belive you. There must be a different explanation. This can't be it just...can't."
"Alex...", he used her first Name trying to make her feel more comfortable and trying to show that he wasn't playing around."..lift up your shirt. Just up to your Belly button."
"What?!"
"Just do it, trust me.", he had to make her see. The Agent looked at him a little bit longer and then slowly lifting up her shirt, hearing the seriousness in his voice. She stared at her stomach, not sure what she was looking for. Then she saw it, so tiny it would go unnoticed, if you don't look very closely. There was a tiny scar going alongside her Belly Button so small and blending in, that she didn't even notice until now. She looked up in Horror, she didn't remember the scar ever being there or more important, how it got there.
"He..he opend up my Stomach..and and put something inside of me?", She swallowed. "Kryptonite inside of me?", She wasn't even aware that she was asking the questions, her head was spinning.
"Yes." There was no trying to make it sound better as it was, it was the cold truth.
Without any warning Alex leaped forward and bolted to the Trashcan that was standing in the corner of the Room. She threw up with such violence that the veins in her head were showing. After she was done she turned around and looked ar her Boss. The sudden realisation was clearly visible in her eyes.
"I am hurting her. I HURT her. My presence is making her be in so much pain." Her hands flew to her mouths and silent Tears went down the side of her cheeks.
"No! Agent Danvers it is not YOU that is hurting her. It is just the Kryptonite that..is inside of you. You don't have any part in this."
Alex was past the point of listing. Her sadness and shock was replaced by rage.
"Take it out." She said so quiet that Hank wouldn't have heard it if he wouldn't have been standing right next to her.
"We are working with a Surgical team right now. They are trying there best. It is just..a difficult procedure."
"Take. It. Out...Now." Alex said with clenched teeth. She wasn't having any of what her Boss was saying. She wanted to have this piece out of her. It made her feel so sick and disgusted, knowing some maniac had his hands inside of her stomach, knowing she was hurting her sister. Knowing she couldn't be with her, hug her.
"We are trying our best to.."
"Its not good enough! I want it out Now! I want it out of me! Take this damn think out of my Body!" She was screaming now. She went and grabbed a chair and flung it across the Room. Kicking away a little table and knocking over machines that were in the Room while screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Agent Danvers stop! You are going to hurt yourself. Stop!" Hank grabbed Alex arms strongly with both hand, she trashed in his grip, kicking and screaming.
"I want it out. I'm hurting her! Take it out now or Ill do it myself!" She screamed, turning red and fighting against the strong arms that held her. The commotion was heard outside and a doctor came in the Room, holding a needle in his hand. He looked at the Director, waiting for his consent. As he saw him nod, he moved over to Alex quickly and put the needle in the side of her neck. She didn't notice him walk in and was taken by surprise as she began to feel weak and tired. She knew what was happening. She gripped on to Hanks shirt and looked him in the eyes.
"Please..I-I'm hurting her. I have to protect her..." She said tiredly and her eyes were starting to close. Her legs were getting weaker and she was slowly sliding to the Floor with Henshaw guiding her, making sure she wouldn't hit the Floor and get hurt."..it's my Job..", was the last thing she said before losing complete conciousness and going limp against her Bosses body.
He sat like this for a few moments to process what had just happened. He had just witnessed one of the most brutal and heartbreaking Breakdowns from one of his top Agents. He closed his eyes and took a shaking breath in before picking Alex up and carrying her back towards her Room, being sure that Supergirl was back on the other side of the DEO under the Sun wave machine. As he walked he looked down at the unconscious women in his arms, a sympathetic look on his Face. The next few weeks were going to be though, that was for sure.
