Kara sighed as she checked her phone for the thousandth time.
Alex put a hand on her sister's shoulder as she walked up to her.
"Is she still ignoring you?"
Kara nodded and brushed her blonde hair back.
"Yeah. I've tried calling her and I've lost track of how many texts I've sent."
"She'll come around." Alex told her reassuringly with a small smile.
"You sure about that?" Kara asked with a sour look.
"Just give her time."
"I've given her time! How much does she need?!"
Alex nodded in understanding.
"Have you tried going to see her?"
"No...do you think I should?"
Alex shrugged.
"It couldn't hurt. I mean seriously, after all this, how could you make it any worse?"
Kara nodded.
"You have a point."
Alex nodded and left her sister to make her decision.
"Good luck."
Kara allowed herself a tiny smile.
More than anything, she wanted things to be all right between her and Lena. The Luthor woman had come to mean a great deal to her, Lena had even admitted that Kara was her best friend and Kara knew she felt the same way.
Kara had been the one to believe in Lena when everyone else wanted to brand her with the same iron as they had her family but Kara knew that Lena wasn't like that.
She good and decent and she wanted to help National city and it's people. Not just because she wanted the people to like and respect her but just because she hated to see people suffer and even though, yes she was a business woman, she had a heart of gold and Kara found herself wanting to protect that as much as she was able.
...
Supergirl flew to Lena's house and landed gracefully just outside of the gates.
If the guard at the front had been told to reject her, she would either fly over the top or go home, she hadn't decided yet.
The guard was missing at the front and Kara frowned.
Lena would have to have a word with him about that, she thought.
Flying over the top it is.
As she flew over the trees, she saw Lena's house and then a frown, deeper than the lasr one appeared on her face as she landed again.
The door to Lena's house was laying on the ground, clearly it had been ripped off it's hinges.
"Lena..." Kara breathed then louder as she raced towards the house.
"Lena!"
Inside, she found no one one.
"Max!" She tired, maybe her son was here.
She ran upstairs, into Lena's bedroom and then Max's. Nothing.
"Lena!" She tried again, even though she knew she wouldn't get an answer.
Suddenly, Kara heard a blast coming from the center of National city.
Lena disappearing, the blast, it couldn't all be connected, could it?
Just then, Alex came through in her ear piece.
"I'm gessuing you heard that."
"You guessed right. What was it?" Kara asked as she strode back out of the house.
"A bomb went off in the city."
"Is anyone hurt?"
"No but there's something definitely going on. Maybe you should check it out."
"I'm on my way."
Kara took off into the air and headed back towards National city.
It didn't take her long to see what was going on.
Below her, police were trying to get everyone to stay back.
As Kara used her x-ray vision, she saw that men, dressed all in black guarding the building.
When she looked closer, she saw that a little boy was locked in one of the rooms, as young as he was, he was trying to open the doors and he was crying that he couldn't get out.
"Max!" Kara realized.
It was then that she realized the men were members of cadmus which meant that Lilian was using her own grandson to manipulate Lena into doing something, whatever that was anyway.
When she looked down, she noticed the black van parked at the back of the building and inside was Lilian Luthor and an unconscious Lena.
Kara looked from Max to Lena and back again.
She made a beeline for Max as she knew was what Lena would want her to do but as she neared the building, she felt that familiar feeling of weakness come over her.
Kryptonite.
Supergirl shook her head to try and clear the haze but it was difficult.
The Kryptonite was slowly draining her power and Kara knew that without her powers, she wouldn't be able to help anyone, it was possible it could even kill her if she was exposed to it for too long.
"Supergirl are you there?"
"I'm here Alex. Is there any way inside this building?"
"You know it's filled with Kryptonite, right?"
Kara nodded.
"I do but Lena's son is in there."
Alex sighed.
"I know you want to help but for now you have to sit tight and wait til we get there."
"There are guards all over this place Alex. It's just as dangerous for you as it is for me."
"The Kryptonite will kill you Supergirl! You have to sit this one out!"
"I can't just do nothing Alex! It's Lena's son in there!" Kara shouted, feeling her temper and frustration rise.
Kara looked at the van and saw that Lena had gone.
Kara frowned.
Where had she gone?
She now saw that Lena was standing with Lilian outside the building. This time, she could hear them talking.
"That building will explode and your son will go with it if you don't do something."
Kara watched as Lilian handed Lena the immortal chemical.
Kara's eyes widened.
"Alex, Lilian is trying to get Lena to take the immortal."
"Why?"
"I don't know and that doesn't matter but I think I've just found my way in."
"How?"
"If I take the immortal then the Kryponite won't affect me...right?"
There was a pause.
"Alex? You there?"
"Suprgirl, we've been doing some digging on the immortal chemical. It's not safe."
"What?"
"If you take that, there's no guarantee that you'll be ok and if Lena takes it... she'll die."
Kara frowned and she watched as Lena took the immortal chemical from her mother.
"But Lilian must know that...why would she do this?"
"She wants to use Lena for a long as possible while she has the immortal in her system. After that, she doesn't care, but Supergirl you can't let Lena take that."
Kara flew down just as Lilian got back into the van and drove away, confident in the knowledge that her daughter would do whatever it took to save her son.
"Lena, you can't take that!"
"I don't have a choice! The building's coming down and the Kryptonite will kill you! I don't see any other way!"
Kara nodded.
"There has to be another, we'll find one! There are people coming to help, we just have to wait."
"I don't have the time to wait. I need to do this. Now."
Kara stepped forward and nodded.
"I can get in there and if I'm quick, maybe I can get out before the Kryptonite affects me too much. I promise I'll get Max out, Lena. Trust me."
Lena's expression suddenly turned sad.
"I did trust you..."
"You can again. I won't let you down again Lena, I swear."
Lena smiled brokenly.
"I know you won't want to, but sometimes we hurt the ones we care about."
Before Kara could stop her, Lena opened the jar and downed the immortal chemical.
Kara's eyes widened.
"Lena no!"
Lena dropped the jar to the ground and it shattered as she turned and headed into the building as it suddenly started to explode.
"Lena wait!" Kara called but the blast of Kryptonite, knocked her back.
"You have to go!" Lena shouted.
"No I'm not leaving you! Kara yelled.
"You have to Kara! One more blast of Kryptonite could kill you!"
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine, now get out of here!"
Kara reluctantly turned to leave, it was too dangerous for her now. Both her and Lena knew that.
"Kara?!" Lena called, making the blonde turn around to look at her.
A broken smile crossed Lena's lips.
"I love you."
A moment passed between them and Kara smiled sadly at her, knowing this could be last time she saw her.
Lena nodded that she understood the silent message. If she made it out of here, they would have a lot to talk about.
"Now go!"
Kara fly up into the air wondering if she would ever see Lena again. Now that she knew how the Luthor felt, Kara wondered what that would mean for them if she made it out alive.
And not only that but did she feel the same?
There were too many questions and not enough answers.
A/N- OK so Lena took the immortal which means she should make it out alive but what about what happens after? Just how long does she have before the immortal rejects her body and how will things stand with herself and Kara?
I will update as soon as I can and as always, feedback is appreciated.
