Quick warning, this is dealing with a start up to sexual assault, it doesn't go any further than the guy trapping Lena underneath him as he gets stopped.
But I still need to put that warning out there because I know this can trigger a lot of flashbacks for people, so if you are uncomfortable reading it, either please skip over it, or don't read this fiction.
I don't want any of you suffering from those kind of flashbacks while reading fanfic.
Also if that holds you back from reading this fiction, I am so sorry you had to go through something like that.
And I forgot to add the translation to the Kryptonian in the previous chapter, I'm so used to AO3 where you can add anything else with Author Notes that I forgot to include them in the actual file as well for this site.

It was dark and cold, stuffy and the smell of old wood lingered in the air as Lena tried to breathe in deeply.
She tried to sit up and rub her head but found herself restrained on a hard bed, a grunt leaving her throat as she moved her body and pain shot up from all over.
"Kara?" her voice sounded fragile and young, her CEO mask lost in the haze of waking up in pain "Kara, are you here?"
She swallowed thickly as she tried to remember what happened, she saw Kara in the audience as she got up the stage to adress the people.
A loud bang at the far end of the room grabbed their attention and Kara was gone and the hero in red and blue entered the building, but as she locked eyes with her another bomb went off.
She tried to look through the panic swirling in the pit of her stomach when Kara sped up towards her but got thrown back in the blast as Lena got thrown to the opposite side of the room.
Her back hit the hall hard with a loud thump and she fought unconsciousness, trying to look around her and searching for Kara in the chaos "Ka-Kara?" she whispered.
"There she is. Take her. We're going to need her. They'll believe she's dead anyway, so she has to help us now" Lena tried to focus her gaze to the feminime voice to try and locate a face, but her eyesight was too blurry.
"Pity, such a waste of Luthor genes" the voice said as she bend down towards Lena, her face a few inches away and her eyes widened in fear "my dear daughter, my how you have fallen"
Lena pulled on the restraints trying to loosen them, tears stinging her eyes as pain in her abdomen got more intense with every movement.
"Now now Lena. You don't want to do too much. You got hit by quite some shrapnel and too much movement could cause more harm" the singsong voice of her mother entered her ears and she stilled immediately.
"What do you want, mother?" she spat out the last word "finally figured out I will never help you so you decide to kill me? Or experiment on me?" Lillian scoffed "no, I'm not. You're already dead"
The television in the corner came to live as the restraints were loosened with a mechanical buzz, the small room was filled with a chaotic newsreport as Lena sat up slightly, mindful of the pain in her lower body.
Her eyes went wide as a gasp left her body, the destruction was impressive, multiple bombs had gone off in a small span of time taking dozens of lifes, Supergirl was seen being carried out on a stretcher, a frantic Alex giving out orders.
"No" she whispered, biting back the tears as the apparant lifeless body of her girlfriend was caried into a unmarked van, presumably the D.E.O., she looked over at her mother, shock and sadness clear in her eyes as her mother smirked "keep watching dear"
Lena looked back at the screen, her hand on a extremely sore spot on her abdomen as the words of the news anchor rung out in her ears again and again, echoing inside the walls of her skull.
She felt dizzy, the room was spinning as only one thought entered her mind "Kara. No I'm sorry, Kara. Please don't believe it" she whispered one of the thoughts, for a moment not caring if her mother could hear her.
She looked back at the television, the words now in big bold letters screaming at her as the images of the destroyed building was seen on the background.
'Lena Luthor among casualties in bombing Conference For Peace'
"What did you do?" she asked softly, but clear as day, as she stood up and almost immediately fell to the ground from the vertigo, clutching her side in pain.
"Lena, my sweet daughter, I warned you that I would get what I want one way or another" she said as she put a finger under her jaw and guided her face up to look her in the eye "what did you do to Supergirl?" she asked through gritted teeth.
"Well you're the one so adament about fucking a alien, I had to do something. Now I need your help to finish a device to get rid of the other Kryptonian" Lena just stared at her, lips turning to show utter disgust.
"I will NEVER help you with killing Superman" she seethed but yelped as she got lifted to her feet by her hair, swinging her arms back to try and land a hit on the person manhandling her, but a gruff voice halted her actions "stop or I will break your arms"
"Lena, don't make me do this. Don't make me hurt you more than you already are. You will help us finish this device, or Hank will break your arm. It's your decision really" Lillian smiled "I am giving you a choice" she added as Henshaw growled in her ear.
She stopped thrashing around and stood with her chin high, tears in her eyes from the pain in her sides and the upcoming headache as she glanced at the televison where they were now replaying the footage of Supergirl being loaded in the van again.
"What do you need to have done, Lillian?" she asked and Lillian smiled while motioning to Hank to let her go "I need you to hack into the D.E.O. I know you're friends with the director, so I know you can get in. You can use that computer" she said tilting her head to a table on the other side of the room.
Lena nodded and walked to it, grunting as she sat down "I'll leave you to it then, enjoy the news broadcast" Lillian said as she walked out the door and closed with a loud thud, locks falling into place.
She had no idea how long she had been typing away at the keyboard, quick taps to try and get into the D.E.O. mainframe, she knew she could get in, she knew her way around a computer, Winn had taught her the hacking basics after he had broken his hand and couldn't do his job for a while.
The D.E.O. database was brought up on her screen and she got a idea and silently praid to whatever god was listening at the moment for a little more time as she brought up three phonenumbers and gave the command to call them while entering her own phonenumber.
A pop up showed that Kara had picked up, but wasn't able to hear or read what was being said, realizing she shouldn't press her luck too much she disconnected the call and shut off the D.E.O. page and continued pretending to be hacking the secret organisation.
A single tear rolled down her cheek as the realization hit that Kara was alright, or at least her phone had survived the blast 'no' she thought 'Kara is alright, Alex would've picked up her own phone then' she nodded her head with finality and started tapping away on the keyboard again.
'I have to try one more time' she thought to herself as she brought up the hack once more and dialed Alex and Kara's number, trying to remember how to get a message across, mentally berading herself for forgetting.
The pop up showed Kara had picked up on the first ring and as she was furiously typing away the door opened and she jumped up and accidentally closed the call when her hand hit the keyboard on accident.
"I am so disappointed in you, Lena" Lillian spoke as Henshaw walked up to her, a scowl set on his face and Lena gulped, shrinking away from him shaking her head "please don't" she pleaded as she locked eyes with him.
He grabbed her by the arm and yanked her away from the computer "please no! You're hurting me!" she yelped as her arm got twisted around while Hanshaw looked at the screen "D.E.O. is hacked, she was stalling. We got what we wanted. We're in"
The half human looked at his commanding officer for instructions "well then. We don't need her anymore. Do as you please" and Lena's stomach rolled at the grin that he sported, her mother turned and walked out the door leaving Hanshaw alone with her.
And for a moment Lena didn't fear for her life, but feared for what would remain of it after he was done "please don't. Please don't do this" she begged as his eyes raked over her body, his grin still plastered.
Tears were streaming heavily down Lena's cheeks as her arm was bend even more and she fell to her knees in pain "don't do what? She did give me permission to do whatever I want" he lifted her up by her arm, releasing his hold once she was standing.
"What should I do first? You betrayed your brother, your mother and this organisation. Don't you see we're only protecting this earth from those freaks?" he snarled "are you that blinded by that blonde freak?"
Lena's lips curled up in a snarl "I'm protecting this earth from maniacs like you" she spat out before she was laying on the ground, a gash next to her eye from where his fist collided, she gasped and tried to blink the pain away.
She felt him grabbing her by the collar of her blouse, lifting her head off the ground "you're blinded by that bitch" he said as he kneeled, with either leg on her side.
Lena looked at him, pure hatred seeping through her eyes and she spit in his face, he reacted by roughly pushing her down, hands on her neck, the back of her head hitting the concrete roughly, blinding her temporarily.
Stars danced in front of her eyes as oxygen was being cut off to her brain by the pressure on her neck, she gasped as her neck was released from the deathlike grip and she tried to take a swing but her hand was caught and held tightly above her head, the other hand soon to follow.
"Stop. Please" she cried "don't do this" her legs were thrashing around, trying to get free from his inhuman grasp, but it was all in vain as one hand glided from her throat to the top button of her blouse.
Lena felt the grip on her wrist loosen and managed to get one hand free and took a hard swing at his face but he captured her arm and growled "you really need to watch where you put that fist" he said as he snapped her arm in his grasp.
She screamed out in pain, the throbbing of her arm travelling up to every part of her body, tears flowing freely as the pain became more unbearable by the minute as he was still holding on to it, putting pressure on it to prolong the pain.
The metal doors opened and revealed one of Lillian's workers "we have to go. Boss's orders" a gruff familiar voice echo'ed in the room, familiarity hung around her as the pain was about to take her consciousness.
"Seems our time is up" he said as he stood up after giving one last squeeze on her arm, ensuring that the pain would be too much for her to get up and follow them.
She turned her head trying to see the figure who had stopped the assault and recognized the heavily tattooed arms "Bob?" she whispered before the door to the room was closed once more, the lights flickered but stayed on.
She kept blinking to stay awake but the pain overtook her body and unconsciousness quickly took over her senses and she passed out from the pain and stress.
When she woke up the first thing on her mind was how sick she felt, she sat up cradling her broken arm and she grunted as her head fell forward trying to take control over her own body and will it to hurt less.
She rolled her neck, cracking it to release some tension and she looked around the room, her eyes falling on the computer and she stood up as fast as she could.
After taking two steps she stopped and threw up 'great' she thought 'I'm stuck in a room that now smells like vomit. Great going Lena' she berated herself as she staggered to the computer.
She tapped the keys on the keyboard, nothing, deciding to try the mouse, it proved to be unlucky as well.
Grumbling she decided to try to turn the monitor on by pressing the on button, hoping it was as simple as that, but once again it proved futile.
Looking around the room she noticed that the television was unresponsive now as well, screen as black as the night, the only thing remaining on were the lights "at least thats something" she mumbled and sighed.
She took another step but promptly fell to the ground as her face got a deadly pale look instead of the rosy pink cheeks she knew too well, she held her side with her unhurt hand and brought it up feeling sticky wetness and gasped when she saw the red covering her hand.
"Kara" she whispered as tears stained her face once more "Kara. I need you. Kara please" she sobbed heavily as she kept whispering "sokau Kara. Khak tulem rrip" she felt the blackness of unconsciouness tugging at her so she sat up, willing herself to stay awake.
"I need to get that computer on" she grunted as she shook her head, her right hand tentatively touching the painful spot near her eye and wincing as it made contact with the torn skin.
She forced herself to get up and looked around and scoffed when she saw a small control panel near the television, she limped toward it and grinned when she saw it was a panel to control the electrical equipment, she pried it open and it revealed a small keypad with a five digits lock.
Taking a moment to consider all the possible numeric codes her mother could have used she grinned as she got an idea and entered "16421" and smiled victoriously as the computer beeped and the television spurred to life.
"Oh mother, you have always had a weak spot for Lex" she said out loud smirking as she turned around and stumbled to the computer, only for the room to start spinning.
She closed her eyes tightly, trying to stay upright but failing miserably and she fell taking the t.v. with her.
Glass splintered everywhere as unconsciousness once again took Lena out of the living world, tears once again slipped through her eyes as her eyes slowly blinked closed, Kara's name the last thing on her lips.
She woke up in a pain induced haze and she turned, realizing that she had fallen on her left arm, still bend in a unnatural position, she whimpered as she pushed herself to her feet.
"Get it together Luthor" she said breathlessly as she walked in what seemed like slowmotion to the computer and wrote out commands with her one good hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she got back into the D.E.O. mainframe.
Quickly typing out a message in the hopes that they would get it in time before she bled out, she looked the message over.
'This is Lena. I'm not dead. Help. I'm hurt. Tell Kara'
She pressed send and prayed that the message would arrive and that Winn would find it, she didn't wait long before a pop up appeared on screen, she struggled to keep her vision clear to read what it said.
'prove it' Lena's eyebrow shot up "how the fuck do I prove it to you Winn" she mumbled out loud and smirked when she thought of something, Kara would be mad she used this to prove herself, but all fair in trying to survive, so she typed as fast as she could.
'You walked in on me and Kara in the training room while I had my hand down her pants and she got startled so badly her heatvision got set off and almost took your head off' she chuckled despite the predicament she was in at the memory.
Another pop up 'LENA! I'm tracking your location now! Keep sending messages okay' Lena nodded but she felt a wave of dizziness take over as another pop up read 'Lena, hang in there, write something'
She quickly wrote a reply before she collapsed again 'hurry. It's bad' her breathing was slow and she felt like her time was running out, her heart was beating slowly, almost in slowmotion.
Her eyes were threatening to close again, but Kara's voice echo'ed in her head "Khak zao rrip Lena" and she smiled "I love you too Kara" she sighed as her eyes rolled back and she lost the fight against unconsciousness again.
"Lena you need to stay awake. Please baby. Wake up. You need to fight this okay honey. Lena. Please. For me. Khepp shahrrehth. Wake up!" Kara's voice rang out in her ears.
"I'm so tired Kara" she whispered "I'm so tired. I want to sleep. Please Kara, let me sleep" she blinked her eyes open but didn't see the blonde in the room with her, she turned her head to where she heard her voice, but there was no one there.
"Kara?" she spoke up, but no reply came and she started crying again after a sharp pain in her side rippled through her body after a sob that wrecked through her tiny frame.
She looked around and saw that she was now currently laying on the floor, the chair was toppled over and she could feel a sticky wetness pooling around her abdomen "Kara where are you?" her voice was raspy and soft.
There were sounds coming from the hallway so she turned her head towards it, sitting up slowly she shook her head, her eyebrows furrowing in concentration as she listened closely to the clanging of metal on metal.
Not trusting that these were good people she stood up, almost slipping over her blood on the floor and she backed away towards the broken television, gripping her side trying to slow down the bleeding as her left arm dangled uselessly besides her body.
There were three taps on the metal door before a series of small explosions took out the door and men dressed in all black and helmets came barging in and walked towards her.
To say that she was scared was an understatement, deep down she knew these people were here to help, but being on her own for god knows how long and being on the brink of death made her act irrational and she screamed at them to stay away.
One of the soldiers removed the helmet revealing Alex running towards her "Lena! Lena you're okay. Winn send us! He found you" Lena flinched backwards at Alex' outstretched hands and tripped over her feet.
Alex tried to grab her by the hand but wasn't fast enough to cover the distance that Lena had put between them, she watched as she fell backwards and landed on the broken television igniting a gasp of pain from Lena.
"LENA!" she shouted and ran the few steps and lifted her off the broken object, blood already dripping steadily from the glass shard stuck in her back onto the floor, Lena took Alex' shirt into her fist and tugged.
"T-Tell Kara I-I love her. Please" Alex frowned, trying to stop the tears from falling "no! You can tell her yourself when you see her, you understand?" Lena smiled tiredly and repeated her question "p-please Alex" so she swallowed and said "she already knows, just hang on. We're going to get you the help you need"
She blinked tiredly, feeling the pull of blackness consuming her, she could vaguely make out Alex' voice talking to her but not understanding a word of what was being said to her.
The darkness was all around her, filling her heart with dread as she looked around, trying to find any source of light as she held her hands out trying to feel her way around her.
Confusion hit when her left hand touched a wall 'wait, wasn't my left arm broken?' she thought as her eyebrows furrowed together and quickly retracted her hand and touched her side, no pain and no blood 'what is this?' she thought as she touched the wall again.
Focussing back on the apparant hallway she was in she looked closer ahead of her and saw a small streak of light come out from under what appeared to be a door so she walked towards it, but the light never got bigger.
She got more agitated and scared with every step that she took, trying not to look back, scared to see her mother standing there with a wicked smile, she fell to her knees and started sobbing, scared she would never get to see the blonde love of her life again.
"Lena" her head shot up at her name being called by such a familiar voice "Kara!?" she yelled out "where are you!?" no answer.
"I thought that I would never hear your laugh again" she sounded broken, her voice was so small and she focussed her hearing on her voice, pinpointing it, realizing it came from the small sliver of light ahead.
"They told me that you died-" her voice trailed off in the darkness and Lena screamed out "I'm right here Kara! Please! I'm here. I can hear you! Sokau Kara!" and she started crying, surprised she still had tears left to cry.
Kara's voice came back to her "I killed a guy, Lena. I killed someone to avenge you" and Lena's heart stopped in shock, a whispered no falling from her lips.
She never wanted this, never wanted Kara to be this lost, she felt guilt creeping up and taking over her bones, seeping into every pore of her body untill she heard the next words "I found the ring"
Her heart was pounding so hard that she couldn't hear the rest of Kara's words as she still sat on her knees on the floor, tear tracks over her cheeks, a loud sob breaking free at Kara's next words ringing through the dark hallway.
"Lena khak zao rrip, rrip zehdh ukep, sokau Lena" her head connected with the floor as she let the sobs take over her for a while "Khak nim nahn i zrhemin, Lena, sokau nahn voi"
Lena was still learning Kryptonian, confused by the words that she didn't understand, but she pulled herself up, her head high as Kara's voice rang out "khak zao rrip" followed by "rrip zehdh ukep" repeated through the dark hallway.
She knew what they meant, Kara was begging her to hang on, telling her she belonged with her, she heard the heartbreak and the sorrow in her voice so she stood up and took determined steps to the door.
It felt like a lifetime went by before the light finally became brighter and the door came closer and closer until she could finally touch the doorknob and it swung open, bathing her in bright light causing her to shield her eyes from it.
She looked around and saw the medical equipment around her, the methodical beeping and whirring of the machines keeping her alive and as she looked down and to the left she saw the mess of blonde hair she thought she would never get to see again and she longed to touch it.
Her hand twitched and the movement followed up her arm and to the broken bone causing her to groan in pain and Kara got startled awake "Lena! You're awake! Nahkluv Rao!" Lena smiled softly.
Sure she had heard her voice in her dream, or was it limbo? Either way she was glad to officially and truly hear Kara talk again "khak ulir rrip"
Her voice sounded rough, even to herself and she wondered how long she was out for the count, not even sure she had said the right words in Kryptonian she repeated herself in English "I heard you talk, Kara" her fingers entwined with Kara's and felt the ring on her finger so she traced it.
"Do you like it?" she asked, fear etching into her spine as she wondered if it didn't live up to Kara's expectation, but she knew it was dumb as soon as she saw Kara nodding heavily and telling her that she loves it.
Kara stood up from the chair and pressed her lips against Lena, a small tear escaping her eyes at the missed familiarity of Kara's lips pressed against hers.
Kara pulled away and whispered "khak nim nahn i zrhemin" that sentence again, Lena tried to translate it in her head, she knew her eyebrows were furrowed judging by Kara's loving gaze so she asked "what does that mean?"
And Kara smiled even wider and the explanation making Lena smile just as wide as Kara brought their lips together again, soft and tender, loving and familiar, but it was over as soon as it started as the door to her room opened and a amused voice rung out.
"Good to have you back Lena. Less good to catch you hooking up with my sister, again" and Lena chuckled remembering the times that she and Maggie had walked in on them getting to know each others body.
Kara moved away from her as Alex moved closer so she looked at her and asked "How long have I been out?" she tuned out the conversation as she realized Alex was talking around the question and Lena narrowed her eyes.
"Thats not what I asked" she simply said and Alex smiled wryly, she could tell she was apprehensive about telling her this part of the truth "you've been out for a week, but it took us six days to find you" she gasped as she let the words swirl around her head.
Six days, she was stuck in that room for six days, in a coma for a week, her eyes blinked rapidly as she tried to comprehend that if they had found her a day later that she probably would have been dead.
"-they made us believe you were dead Lena. I'm sorry. We should've been looking for you" she blinked her focus back to the present and managed to overhear the last part of Alex broken voice and she grabbed her hand with her unharmed one and spoke with conviction.
"It's not your fault Alex, if the roles were reversed I don't think I'd have done anything differently" she said honestly as she looked at Kara with meaning in her eyes, she remembered what she heard Kara say when she was unconscious and she knew Kara was struggling with it.
Alex told her that she was going to round up her examanination and the women nodded at her, she finished her work quickly, apologising when she heard Lena hiss from pain.
"All done. You'll be able to go home in about three days, I just want to keep you here for observation for a little bit" and Lena nodded her understanding, not looking forward to being stuck in a uncomfortable bed for three more days, but knowing that arguing about it was futile.
She watched Alex turn and walk out the room and her eyes locked with Kara "how are you doing?" the urge to laugh came over her as she saw the utter shock and confusion in her partner's eyes, but bit her lip to hold it back.
"I should be asking YOU that! Lena you were dead, we were going to bury you and I-I just- I ki-" but Kara couldn't finish her sentence instead her hand flew to her mouth and she took a loud breath as the words sunk in.
"Hey hey Kara, come here darling" she watched Kara slowly walk towards her, almost like a scared jumpy cat, ready to run at the slightest movement.
She sat up as good as she could without causing too much strain on her wounds, Alex had said that the pain was less than it would've been had they not put her in a medically induced coma, but she was still sore.
"Why did you?" were the only words coming to mind and she could see the tears pooling in her fiancé's eyes and her heart broke for the young woman "because he was responsible for your death"
Tears streamed freely over her cheeks as a loud sob broke free, Lena could tell this was the first time she was talking about this "I had lost my whole word again and I couldn't deal with it, I wanted revenge. I just- I- I wanted the pain to stop and I thought by doing that it would get less. But I was wrong, it only made it worse"
Kara sat on the edge of Lena's bed and she started rubbing her back, trying to rub comfort into her body as Kara nuzzled her face in the crook of Lena's neck, a wet spot quickly forming on her gown.
"It's okay Kara, we can help each other through this" Kara grabbed the gown into her fist, she could feel the carefullness and tenderness seeping out from Kara "rrip non dhehraogh, Lena"
Lena stilled for a moment, working her brain to translate the words, judging by the situation she figured that it must've had something to do with her presumed demise, but couldn't be sure "but I'm here now Kara. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, I promise. Darling look at me"
Kara reluctantly pulled away at the soft pushing from Lena's hand, her eyes red and puffy and swollen and Lena's heart broke at the sight "we can work through this together, khak zao rrip Kara Zor El. Khutiv zrhemin"
A happy sob got pulled from the blonde kryptonian at the words uttered by her human lover in her native tongue and she surged forward once more kissing Lena deeply.
Her tongue tracing her bottom lip as Lena's lips opened instinctively, their tongues dancing together for what felt like a lifetime before they broke apart.
Lena felt the tug of unconsciousness pull at her again, this time knowing she was going to wake up again she didn't fight it instead she whispered "I think I'm going back to sleep now, I'm really tired"
She felt Kara nod and she helped Lena get comfortable on the bed, she felt sleep take her away before her head even properly touched the pillow.
The last thought on her mind of that day was the tingly sensation on her lips of where Kara had kissed her and the thought of marrying the gorgeous woman and wearing the symbol of her house over her heart on their wedding day.
