Kara wasn't looking good, still her condition was way better now that the doctors could help her trough the IV. The young woman, still under the solar lamps, looked pale but wasn't sweating anymore. Her temperature had lowered and her breath was almost silent.

Kara would never be alone in the medbay. There was always someone to look after her. Hank would pass regulary, taking a few minutes on his busy schedule, Alex would spend every night beside her sister and if the two weren't there, a nurse or even a doctor would always monitor her. This situation was very unlikely and no one had been prepared for it or how to behave. The DEO didn't want to take any risks. Supergirl couldn't die, not like that.

The good news was that the kryptonite needle offered a week more than the four days calculated by Alex. The bad news was that Alex hadn't come up with a solide lead yet and they were already in day 3. For now, the young agent was keeping her calm, more than the previous days. She wasn't talking to anyone, locked in her lab. Her only interactions with the exterior world was the report that her coworkers and doctors would give her on the virus.

Hank could only admire the faith and the determination that Alex was showing. But he also knew that a part of the woman he considered his daughter was in distress and needed help. That was why he had called Eliza earlier. The doctor was the most likely to help her daughter. She was probably the only person who knew more about alien physiology than Alex.

When she saw Hank, Eliza couldn't retain a little fear and disgust. Even if Alex had assured her that the man in front of her wasn't really involved in Jeremiah's death, she wasn't still trusting him completely. The director showed her around before bringing her to where her adoptive daughter was. There, Doctor Hamilton was waiting for her. She explained everything the DEO knew so far on Kara's condition. Hank let them after a few seconds, not understanding all the weird medical and scientific language. Sure the discussion was very alive. Eliza was asking a lot of question to be sure she knew all the details. One question still remained: how?

"And that's all you know?" Eliza asked hoping this would be just the beginning

"So far, yes. I'm afraid that's all." Doctor Hamilton replied with a sad look.

Seeing the glance her collegue gave to the alien on the bed, she decided to go away.

"I'll be in my lab if you need me."

Eliza nodded with a sad smile and waited for Hamilton to leave to walk next to Kara. She took a moment to observe her, realizing all of this wasn't a really bad nightmare. Eventually, Eliza took Kara's hand and, surprised by its warm, squeezed it lightly.

"We will get you out of this, sweetie." she said before brushing softly Kara's cheek.

With a last glance, Eliza left and asked someone to guide her to Alex's lab.

The agent was, as usual, leaned on her microscope, briefly leaving it to take some note. Even if she was extremely focussed, the young woman still heard someone stopping in her doorway.

"What?" she asked not looking back

"Need some help?" Eliza said trying to sound confident and strong.

But when her daughter turned around with eyes full of hope and in need of comfort, she couldn't hide her own concern. Alex raced towards her mother and didn't ask permission to take her in a tight hug.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" she asked finally pulling out

"You're boss called me to the rescue. I hope you don't mind." Eliza smirked

"If only you knew how glad I am to see you here. Have you seen Kara?"

"Yes..." she started suddenly looking worried. "And Doctor Hamilton told me everything you knew about that Argo fever."

"Alright, then let's go back to work." Alex cheered knowing her mother was the best in her domain.

The two women suddenly changed in bioengeniring research mode and stood by Alex's desk.

"Ok, so I don't have much yet but now that you're here, everything will go faster. I estimated our time at eight days." the agent started showing her work

"Have you isolated the virus yet?"

"I wish... Kryptonian cells are more complexe than human cells so that's why it took me so long in the first place. I'm almost there though."

"Good. Once we will be able to work on the virus alone, the anti-virus will come to us." Eliza assured. She then put a hand on Alex's shoulder, making her look up, and stared at her eyes. "We will do this, Alex. We are going to save Kara."

Alex nodded with confidence and they began their work.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Kara stired, waking up slowly. Her eyes fluttered open. She had to get used to the light. No. There was no lights. Only dust. Still lying on the ground, Kara started to finally see where she was. There was a cloud of brown dust all around her, she heared people shouting for help, screaming in agony. The young woman took a look around, sitting up. No, that was impossible. She was in the park, in a huge cratter. But she should be dead, this couldn't be.

And then Kara realized. She was very well alive and was witnessing her own chaos. Debris were all around her. Some branches, rest of trees, bench. And then, human objects. Balls, clothes, bottles. And finally, humans. A stroller, a leash, blood, an arm, a hand. Kara sat there, paralised from horror. Her horror, her destruction. Eventually, after twenty seconds that past like hours, she stood up, determined to help. She couldn't lose her mind now.

Her powers were back. How? Confused and shaken up, Kara started to search for survivors in the crater. None. Closing her eyes, sighing to refrain tears, she then started to help the people around. Most of them were fine and running, some screaming from fear, others from hysteria. Some were wounded, others were already dead. Kara used her super-hearing to quickly find the survivors and flew them to safety.

Five minutes later, she was back in the crater. Everything was quiet around her now. The only sound were the sirens at the other end of the park. Kara dared using her x-ray vision. She saw some bodies buried and some remains, right under her. She had litterally pulvurised people. The young woman couldn't retain her tears any longer. Her body started to shake uncontrolably and her sobs were growing more and more powerful. Kara's legs were shaking so much, they couldn't support her anymore. The young kryptonian fell on her knees, her arms along side her body. She hung her head, letting her blonde hair, dirty from the dust, hide her face. Suddenly, her fists closed tightly, so tight her knuckles became white. Kara cried harder and harder until the anger, the desperation, the shame and the guilt came out all at once. She brutaly snapped her head up and looked straight in the sky. Kara screamed in agony, as loud and long as her lung could allow her. The scream was raw, horse and powerful. At the same time, her heat-vision was unleashed in powerful blue twin rays. Kara hoped it would get straight to General Lane and pulverise him on the spot. But he was long gone and the harm was already done.

Kara hadn't stop screaming. Her face was red and her eyes were still crying and unleashing heat-vision at the same time. The cloud of dust had fallen down and some firemen were now around the fallen hero. No one here knew what had happened but Kara. The only thing they knew, based on Supergirl's suit that was torn at multiple spots, was that the young woman had made the crater and it was also her that had killed so many people. But they couldn't resolve themselves to hate and rage because of what they had just in front of them. Their heart broke at the sight of National City's protector in such distressful way. Two of them approached Supergirl when she finally stopped her heat-vision. She was now crying, her head hanging, looking down. They wanted to make her stand up, to help her get to an ambulance or at least away from her destruction. The firemen grabbed each of the fallen hero's arm. Her fists were still closed. When they tried to stand her up, Kara almost fell back. The two men supported her, on each of her sides, and helped her get to the ambulances. Finally, after a walk that seemed like an eternity, the firemen sat Supergirl on a bench near a paramedic truck. There, some of them tried to examinate her under the different looks of civilians. Some were surprised, sorry, worried. Other were disapointed, angry and hateful.

Kara's face was now completely blank. No emotions, no feelings, just emptiness. She let the doctors examinate her but they quickly figured she was fine, physicaly. An other minute later and she was let alone on the bench, surrounded by the doctors treating wounded people.

This couldn't be happening. A hero who killed civilians by her incompetance and weakness. No. This wasn't her fault. Lane was entirely responsible. Kara's face suddenly filled with rage. She was about to shoot in the sky and make him pay when she remembered Alex. Why didn't she respond earlier? Worried, Kara tried to call her again.

"Alex, do you read me?" she asked putting a hand on her earpiece.

Nothing.

"Hank? Anyone?"

Kara was now more concerned and sad, seeing all the agitation around her. She was about to fall back in desperation when she saw a friendly face in the crowd, running towards her.

"Miss Grant, what are you doing here?" she asked when the Queen of all Media made her stand up and hugged her

"The Catcopter caught all of what happened and your fall shook up the entire building. I went down to see if you were ok." she said, not hiding her concern. "You look fine but you can't say the same for your suit." Cat said releasing the young woman and checking her for any wound

"I killed them, Cat." Kara started feeling the tears coming back. "I killed all of them because I wasn't fast enough at recovering my powers." she added staring at the other woman

"I saw you fall from the sky. Who did this to you?" Cat asked with anger in her voice.

Whoever had done this to her assitant, her hero, her protegee, her friend, was going regret this very soon. They were going to be exposed and ruined by all the bad publicity Cat was about to create. She was going to fight and get this bastards to jail.

"General Lane." Kara simply said

"What? But that's insane!" Cat exclaimed

"No more insane than an alien killing civilians in a skirt." a too much familiar voice said making Cat turn suddenly.

Maxwell Lord stopped a few steps away from the two women who were now next to each other. Cat suddenly wore an angry and annoyed expression. Kara became simply angry. She knew that Max wasn't all clean in what just happened.

"What do you want Max?" Cat asked putting a hand on her hip

"See if my dream has come true. Clearly my friend didn't do his job right." he said with a detach expression

"You're with Lane. You planned this with him!" Kara yelled suddenly wanting to kill the scientist

"Why do you keep trying to kill Supergirl? She only means good for this city!" Cat started but didn't let him the time to respond. "No you know what? Never mind, you're just digusting, Max. You play with life and death, not caring about how many people will go down with your game." she added taking a step further, threatening him with her finger. "I'm going to put all my reporters on this. I'm going to start a deep investigation and work night and day. And in the end, Max, I will .Down." Cat finished looking deadlier and scarier than ever.

But Max didn't flinch. Instead, he took a step further, the two now being only a meter apart.

"Oh I don't think so, Cat. Those are empty threat. An you know why?" he started confident. "Because I've already won and you lost big time."

Not a second after the end of his sentence, a gun was fired and Cat fell hard on the ground.

"No!" Kara screamed rushing over her boss.

She knelt next to her and put a hand on Cat's wound. But it was too late. Cat stared in Kara's eyes only for a second, not understanting what had just happened to her. It was so fast. Then her head fell lightly on the side, dead, a bullet in the heart.

Kara only allowed a quiet sob and then looked up only to see Max, with an evil grin on his face, still holding a gun pointed where Cat used to be.

"You monster!" yelled before brutaly standing up and starting to run, fists ready.

But Kara didn't even finished her first step that she was falling again, hurting and dizzy, a kryptonite bullet in the right shoulder. The young woman struggled to catch her breath, gasping in pain. Two seconds later, Max was standing over her, the kryptonite gun still pointing at her. He was smiling.

"Poor thing..." he started enjoying the pain on Kara's face. "See you later, Supergirl." Max added before lifting his foot and brutaly kicked the young hero in the face.

AN: So here are the first two nightmares. Kara is in serious trouble in her dream and Alex gets major help.

I know you have two chapters in a row but don't forget to tell me what you thought about chapter 3 as well as this one. What did you think about the nightmares? Eliza to to the rescue?

Also don't forget to tell me about the rating.

Next, doctors have bad news, Cat gets a visitor and Kara's nightmare gets worse.
