AN: Thanks for all the reviews! To answer some of the guest's question: I will keep Kara's Dreams discret for the people in the the reality. She will be alone to face what she sees. I will keep Alex focus on the anti-virus and Hank will be here to comfort her for now.

Also, this chapter is shorter than usual so that's why you get two new chapters today! (and also because I won't be able to post tomorrow)

I you hadn't noticed yet, I changed the rating. I hesitate between T and M for violence... I'll let T for now but it would be awesome, after you read the two chapters, if you could tell me if I should change it or not.

Alex was in her lab for three hours now. She was running simulations on her computer, observing samples of some terrestrial virus that could have the same effects as the Argo fever on her microscope. Not only she had to work on an alien virus but she had to search an anti-virus without having the virus in hand. It couldn't be more frustrating.

Angry and uspset, Alex stood up from her stool and kicked it against the wall. The agent stood there, panting and staring at the stool. Not three seconds later, a knock on a door made her head snap towards the noise. It was Doctor Hamilton.

"Is this a bad time?" she asked seeing the mess in the lab

"No, no. I'm good. What is it? Is Supergirl ok?" Alex questioned regaining some of her calm

"No changes. I came to see you because I might have a solution to get a blood sample." she started, getting the other woman's attention. "We could build a needle with a microscopic amount of kryptonite at the end to perforate her skin."

"Isn't it dangerous with her being sick?" the agent asked but seriously consderating the idea

"I know it doesn't sound very appealing but it would only weaken her skin just where want it to be. We could even try to get her an IV." Hamilton explained

"Did you speak to Henshaw about this?"

"Yes and he approuved. He just wanted you to decide."

"Do it." Alex said coldly.

Honestly, she was ready to give her approuval in Henshaw's back if she had to. Alex knew this IV and the blood were essential to Kara's survival. It would also buy her time to concive the anti-virus.

A day had passed since Alex had agreed to the kryptonite needle. She had also agreed to get some rest at the only condition that she would sleep in Kara's room. A bed had been installed next to Supergirl's sunbed. The doctors weren't even sure the solar waves would have any effect given the fact that the danger was coming from Krypton and it was perfectly adapted to the kryptonian physiology.

Alex was lying on her bed, sleeping. Her sleep wasn't quite peaceful but it was good enough for her to regain some strength. When the young woman woke up, she noticed something that didn't have its place in the room, something abnormal. It took her a few seconds to emerge fully and Alex found the source of her problem when she looked at her sister. Kara's breathing was loud and laboured. The older sister stood up and called for a doctor in the hallway. Hamilton came quickly and used her stetoscope. Alex never left her sister's side and waited for the doctor to speak.

"There is not very much I can do. The needle should be ready in one or two hours." she said as a nurse walked in.

Alex sighed and closed her eyes for a second. She heard the doctor say something to the nurse and then walk away. The nurse walked by Kara and put an oxygen mask on her head, covering her nose and mouth. A few seconds later, when the nurse was gone, Kara's breathing became lower and less laboured. Alex went to the sink in the back of the room and let the cold water fall on a towel. Then, she went back to the bed and pulled the chair so she could sit behind Kara.

"I feel so helpless." Alex started putting the towel on her sister's hot forehead. "But I'm trying very hard, I swear."

For the next few minutes, Alex used the cool towel to wash Kara's face, neck and arms with cold water. It wasn't doing much but at least it would get rid of that dirty sweat and lower her temperature a little.

Alex startled when she heard the alarm on her phone. She had planned it so it would ring the second her test would be over. Stopping the alarm, the woman squeezed Kara's hand and left.

An hour later, Hank was walking in the hallway when he sensed Alex's distress. He didn't want to use his telepathic powers on her but he couldn't help sensing her presence. The martian stopped in the doorway of the agent's lab. Alex was sitting on her stool, her elbows on her desk, her hands griping her short hair. More importantly, she was sobing. Hank hesisitated for a second before entering the lab, shuting the door. The noise made Alex turn. She was angry, frustrated.

"Nothing I do is working. The simulations..." she started without being able to continue.

"Forget what you did so far if you don't have interesting results. It doesn't really help that you are torturing yourself when you have nothing to work on, especially if samples are coming in less than an hour." Hank tried putting a comforting hand on her back

"Four days..." Alex said simply. She wasn't crying anymore but her voice was still shaking. "Four days and Kara dies. And you want me to sit here and do nothing!" the woman finished louder

"I'm just saying you could wait an other thirty minutes and clear your head. That way, you could be back in the game with more senses." the director explained

Alex didn't respond. She stood up brutaly, knocking the stool down, and went back to Kara. He was right, she knew that. But she wasn't going to tell him or herself because she wouldn't be able to live doing nothing, even for a couple of minutes, while Kara was fighting for her life.

As Hank and Doctor Hamilton had said, the needle was soon ready. The doctor came in the room with a trolley and an IV set.

"Ready?" she asked Alex who was standing next to her. The agent nodded, trying to hide her aprehension.

The doctor pushed the needle in Kara's arm, sighing with relief as she felt it perforing the skin of steel. Quickly, Hamilton took a few samples of blood and then prepared the IV. Everyone waited for any sign of complication but nothing came. Alex sighed in relief and let herself fall in the chair.

"It will buy us a few more days. That way we can hydrate her, help her with the fever and the breathing."

"Thank you." Alex simply said less angry than before.

She didn't wait long to get back in her lab. Now that she had samples of Kara's blood and virus, finding a cure would be a little easier. A sparkle of hope lit Alex's mind.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Kara was flying. She was happy, relaxed. She had always loved flying. The clouds, the sun, the blue sky. Everything was united for this day to be a wonderful day. Except not. Suddenly, Kara's smile disappeared when she entered a sky full of black clouds and rain. She tried to go back to the sun but when she turned, it was nowhere to be found. Kara stopped flying, staying up in mid air. She observed carefully, quietly around her. She used her vision to scan her environement and saw four flying objects heading towards her, fast. A few more meters and she recognised planes. The sky got darker. A few more meters she recognised US army soldiers in the planes. The rain became thicker. Finally, an other few more meters she recognised General Lane's sadistic smile.

Fear filled her mind. Kara had seen what he was capable of, what he did to her aunt Astra. She flew away, trying to avoid them, hoping they hadn't seen her. But they had. The four planes were following her so she accelerated, flying faster. But the planes managed to follow. She looked behind her. They were still there. Now the simple fear let the place to panic. Kara was still flying faster. She broke the sound barel in a loud boom. They followed, getting even closer. How was that possible? Flying faster than she ever did, Kara almost dropped when lightings began to empale the sky. The storm wouldn't go away. Kara tried to pass under it, then above it, nothing worked. She could only go forward even if the storm became darker. Panic let the place to terror when Kara heard the very caracteristic sound of weapons behind deployed. A quick glance behind her and her eyes widened as she identified kryptonite bullets in the planes' weapon.

"Alex, I need help." Kara tried using her earpiece.

Nothing.

"Alex, they want to kill me!"

Still nothing.

"No, no, no. This can't be happening. Why would they do that?" she asked the storm covering her voice.

Suddenly, the soldier started to fire. The dark sky lit up between yellow lightning and green bullets. Kara tried so hard to dodge them and she did good. Trying to contain her terror and to regain full control, just like Alex had tought her, the young woman tried to make up a plan. She didn't need or even want to kill them, just dammage the plane.

"Think Kara, think!" she yelled at herself, her soaked hair sticking to her face

Brutaly, she changed her course. Supergirl flew right up and did her best to hide in the clouds. She used her vision to confirm that the planes were also flying up but not as straight as her. Plunging on them at full speed, Kara managed to fly through one of the wings of the first plane and before they could react, she used her heat-vision to incapacitate an other. Two down, two to go. Kara smiled with hope when she saw the planes falling and the parachutes deploying.

But she was still chased and fired at. She flew faster one more time but they wouldn't give up. The storm was still raging. Kara barely dodged a lighting. Lukily for her, that wasn't the case for one of the remaining planes. The engine stopped working and it started free-falling before the pilot could eject himself.

General Lane was still going. Kara could hear the man screaming with rage and griping the firering commands like his life was depending on it. Suddenly, more bullets came closer to Kara until one of them brushed her arm. She screamed in pain and lost a little altitude. Fortunatly, it wasn't enough to harm her.
The chase continued. Kara tried to surprise the General but everytime her strategy failed. She tried and tried so hard until a lightning came out of nowhere and struck her. The young woman couldn't even scream, she was like paralised. Her body started to shake uncontrolably as long as the electricity was passing through her. It seemed to last an eternity.

When it was over, it was too late for Kara to avoid the missle rushing towards her. She saw it at the last moment, not even sure she could have dodged it if it had been slower. The missle hit her, exploded. It wasn't kryptonite. But it was far enough to knock Kara in a half conscious state, free-falling from several kilometers.

She watched herself fall in slow motion, her back alternately turning towards to sky and the ground. The lightnings were beautiful. And on the ground, there was National City, closer at every turn. Kara was falling, always closer to the ground, always faster. But she didn't care; the sky was turning blue. It seemed like the closer she was getting to her death, the bluer the sky would become. And it was beautiful.

Now half way in the fall, Kara's thoughts shifted on Alex, Eliza, her friends. She became suddenly well aware of her condition and brutaly snapped her eyes open. She was falling fast, without restrain. The young woman generated a thrust but it didn't work. She tried again in panic. It wasn't working. Her powers were gone and she was still falling. Kara began to wave her arms and her legs, hoping to catch something that would brake her fall. But she was alone in the sky. Her eyes widened, her hair and cape making a terrible noise in the wind just behind her ears.

"No, no, no! No, please work, come on!" Kara yelled as she tried to fly again and again

Eventually, she gave up trying and just screamed in agony for the next six hundred meters. Kara was screaming for help, but no one would come. She was screaming for hope, but she was still falling. She was screaming, begging to live, but she was dying.

Kara's vision became blurry due to the tears. Her face was red, her ears were ringing, her heart was pounding.

The young woman finally saw where she was going to crash. And that made her death even more horrible. She was falling straight to the park, next to CatCo, crowded with people peacefully walking, children playing with their dogs. Kara stopped screaming. It wasn't worth it anymore because it was too late. Just as she was about to hit the ground and cause dozens of deaths, everything went black.
