Day 104

Caged,Max Lord could do nothing but cooperate. He knew that people disappeared,maybe not mainly by the DEO,which took care of aliens,but this didn't mean that the army couldn't take care of it,for them. So he chose to cooperate and help his cause.

"You'll have to trust me on this one".

"It's like a massive injection of whatever almost killed me"she wrote down.

"I crafted this antidote myself,when it will get in your blood stream and slowly attack the kryptonite which is already in there. If it works out as planned you'll be healed. For the senses I really can't do anything. I don't know what it has to do with it"

"I don't think it's necessary you ask for this information from Supergirl,Lord,now do what you need to do or we'll get you back in the cell"

The antidote consisted in a cocktail of green kryptonite,mixed drugs of the kind she had taken,and molecules of a new type of kryptonite. A white one he had come up with as he created the perfect mix to poison Supergirl.

J'onn thought he truly deserved the epiteth of crazy as he explained how he had meant to tease them with that,but just hadn't gotten the time. If he only stopped from punching him it was because Kara needed that cure.

Hank had studied the substance with Lord and it had had the same action of freezing the green one in a sample of blood they had taken from Supergirl.

It was pretty crazy,but clever. If such a thing could be done they could've frozen the bad cells then gone in surgically to remove it,and leave Kara's organs intact. Max had warned however that maybe some permanent damage could be left,maybe it woul've come back. That however was a bridge they would've crossed once they had been there.

"C'mon Mr. Lord. You may do it."

They hooked her up to the machines,then he injected the mix.

Kara had the feeling of it running in her veins,and she felt cold,but being properly covered and beside Cat she felt far warmer.

"Whatever happens right now,don't panic,she'll probably seizure, and OD,but when her heartbeat gets back to normal give her the meds she needs. Once per day, then you ll have check out how it progresses and only when you're sure she s making some improvement and is ready go in surgically. You ll notice the difference. When she comes out there might have been some damage. Senses in general have nothing to do with what I did"

Lord took a step back.

He was right as her eyes rolled back in her head and she started shaking,but doctor Hamilton and several nurses,even agents were ready to hold her down. She shook for several minutes before falling back without a sound. Her beating slowed down and the funcs came back to normal,but to a careful check out from doctor Hamilton's part it was clear that as anticipated she had fallen into a coma. Now all they were supposed to do was making sure the pharmac could have spread around enough for it to contrast the kryptonite and the rest of the substances Lord had introduced. As he had anticipated there would've had to be some waiting.

Cat observed from outside the room. She had chosen to get out at a certain point to just recover some strength before what she was about to see. From what she had been told,these days had been days of waiting for impending doom. If she could've gotten in touch with the herself who had lived through that she knew she would've found the same worry in that Cat. Though she was pretty sure that that version of herself was anything but hopeful. She was just waiting to watch her wife die without being able to do anything.

The seizures made her shot up from where she was sitting,but looking through the window was enough to calm her down. It was nothing different than what they had been told by Lord.

When Cat was allowed back in,she fell softly on the chair and resumed one of her favorite activities,which was stroking Kara's long air.

Even though her breathing path wasn't of the most normal,and there was some pallor in her face,she looked so calm that Cat couldn't panic to that. She looked a lot calmer finally.

As the media mogul sat at her wife's bedside,the doctors conferred again on where to intervene first. The whole body of Supergirl had been interested by the sickness,but thanks to Supergirl's knowledge of the incoming days they had managed to detect the damage in the bones,liver and organs close to it at last a week and something more before. For Supergirl the disease was spreading much faster,so having found out even a week prior was fundamental to them. It meant being sure they could contain the damage. First by injection the substance they had been given by Max Lord and then by going in surgically. It was their plan to start by the liver,then going for the bones and once,and only if they had been affected,all the other organs,paying attention to monitoring heart and brain. As far as the lungs were concerned,Lord,had confessed that they might stay that way as too many days had passed by. The substance could've only helped her out with a few symptoms,put the kryptonie in a sort of remission,but not eliminated it. Just like a person who had been affected by a lung cancer,she would've probably had to stick to oxygen.

Being full of advices and having a plan of action Hank deemed it the right time to bring him back into his cell,soon he would've been handed off to justice,though he was well tempted to tell him otherwise.

Waiting had become like a rule to them. It was all a matter of time,but soon they would've held the solution in their hands.

He felt like he could breathe again,when he realized there was a chance. At last for Kara.
