Day 109

It was all pretty much ready. The pharmac had been in her system pretty much for 5 days. They had been checking out her vitals. And asides from the present problems,and some pressing on her spine which didn't convince them,she looked ready. Ready enough to actually go in,and face a surgery. The white kryptonite seemed to have acted out quickly enough,for starters. Kara being in a coma they didn't have to do much if not sedate her to make sure she couldn't feel anything. It was not known to them how much she could feel,but after the other day they were sure it wouldn't have been easy for them to be heard by her. From what they had been explained it had something to do with the alien Hank had tortured right after he had been caught,solely out of rage. All they could do was solving what they actually had informations about.

Cat got there pretty soon that morning,and with Carter in tow. He had insisted on coming and she had stopped holding him back. After Kara's overdose she had considered it pretty stupid to keep him away from this. Not after what they had been through and also considering they were now a family. Joined in marriage,and Carter was their son,and he couldn't be kept from such a big thing.

They slid through the hallways knowing them by memory by now and reached Kara's room pretty quickly. They were well in time as they hadn't even started preppin her for surgery.

Cat and Carter sat on each side of Kara,and held her hands.

It was a great step for all of them. If this had worked out there would've been a way for her to heal. She would've been a step closer to getting better.

If this hadn't worked out,she would've lost her life,long before than when it was supposed to happen. They would've had even less time with her than what they had been given.

They were well aware of how big this day was. It could be the beginning and the end. It could either mean they would've survived or there would've been nothing but tears.

There was some sitting in silence,mulling over what could've happened,before they heard knocking at the glass door.

Cat shut her eyes for a moment and let go of Kara's hand before stroking her arm softly.

It was time. She needed to let go of those fears and actually believe that things were to work out. They were supposed to,there was no other solution in her mind that at last this time around she wouldn't have had to cry for Kara's death and go on without her. Because she could imagine no life without her. Not after she had been there for so long already.

In so few Kara had come to mean the world to her.

"Miss Danvers,you may come with us if you wish"

"You'd do that?"

"Only till we really don't get in. But you may follow us till outside the OR"

Of course this was no normal hospital,so there wasn't a window into it GA style,but she still was allowed to follow them till outside the OR and that was a lot more than many people could've said.

An agent proposed to stay with Carter 'till she hadn't come back and off they were.

It would've been needless to say,those hallways looked darker than the ones they had been into,and again nothing like an usual hospital,but she would've trusted those people with her own life. And as she did so she knew they could be trusted with Kara's. Above all after what they had done to help her deal with her addiction and the issues coming from it.

Soon,at last much sooner than they were supposed to for Cat,she had to let go of that soft hand,and kiss those lips goodbye,as she watched the stretcher disappear behind the corner,and the doors shut in front of her.

Inside of the doors the surgery began. Cleaning,choosing a path,actually getting in.

They would've never thought the day would've come in which they would've had to operate on Supergirl,but right now their only focus could be that of saving her.

Liver it was and then other organs if necessary.

Meanwhile Hank had chosen on usual prison being perfect for Lord. No people were to disappear by his hand,he was not part of the army,but something could be still done,as he handed him out to some agents he trusted. He was to end up into the typical federal prison and all the informations about him and the whys of his being there were to be kept hidden. Or so had seemed to promise the police and he would've made sure of it. Their cover of the FBI was to work out perfectly. Their work to be hidden to anybody else. It was a way to take his mind off what was going on a few floors below. He wouldn't look,he knew better than to. J'onn should let such a thing run it's course and have some faith.

It was incredible how a day could work out finally the right way.

The surgery went on for several hours,but Cat was constantly updated. She was eager to find out if it had worked and she was glad for the news. They seemed to have relaxed some of her nerves without her getting any headache.

The pacing and sitting down and pacing again however didn't stop. That was ingrained into her as much as it was into Kara.

But eventually it had to as an agent came to get her. Their were about to finish and he was to escort her back to Kara's room to wait. She did make a fuss about it,but he assured that this was nothing to worry about and for the sake of the floor to sit down.

The frown was pretty evident on her face as he left laughing,and Hank came in,with her son in tow.

"He said something wrong?"

"He said I was wearing a hole in the floor"

Hank laughed too and sat down besides her.

"He meant no offense. Sometimes they go too far,all good kids anyways."

"He also said there was nothing to worry about"

"Then there's not. They're coming in. We'll wait for them here. They're right behind us. Don't worry,Cat".
