Day 109(part two)

Waiting was over pretty soon as they brought Kara back into the room and Cat and Carter could finally sit beside her again.

"Dr. Hamilton ,how did it go?"

"Supergirl held her own in the OR,we got in and removed the kryptonite from the organs her liver,which was the most affected,and the spleen,the others were rarely affected and the injections will be enough. Maybe we'll go back in much later. As far as the blood is concerned,it already looks better,though the damage to the lungs is hardly fixable. In the next surgeries we'll actually take care of the heart and bones. The brain seems to be working great instead. If we keep on injecting,we'll have a good chance to remove it completely. Which doesn't keep her away from future trouble. She might relapse,but this will be something we'll face if it's needed. For now we're hopeful the prognosis might be better than it has been in a while"

"So this means she'll have to face other surgeries,but the kryptonite might have worked just fine"

"Exactly. The white kryptonite froze the green one,as the mix of drugs brought her temperature up,her body seemed to start contrasting this disease. There was like a reaction,and it worked. Now we'll just have to wait for her to wake up. I'll leave you alone with her."

left the room quietly shutting the door,as Cat,Carter and Hank looked at each other.

They couldn't keep the smiles off their faces.

If they had been granted this chance there was no time to waste. They needed to ride it to the end,make sure they could do anything to make her better.

Cat had been afraid that something might happen in that OR,but looking at Kara again brought confidence to her once more. How could she have thought that. Her wife was a rock. She had been her whole life,if there was somebody who could've survived to such a thing that was Kara.

Everything seemed to look up for them.

Kara might still have needed her oxygen to breathe and maybe she wouldn't have stood up tomorrow,but at last they could say that someday,hopefully soon,she would've actually managed too.

When she came to the typical pain she was used to had somehow been dulled,while on the other side she could feel some in the upper part anyway. She knew what they had done,and the pain would've gone soon enough. Her ears didn't pick up anything,nor in the usual way nor with her superpowers,which confirmed the fact that she was somehow deaf and it really had nothing to do with her disease;but she was shocked to find out that her eyes now had a problem with their surroundings too. It wasn't exactly she couldn't see,but they were foggy and could only recognize shapes. Which were well welcome anyway. A blonde beautiful one,and a shorter one with unruly curls.

"Cat"

Her wife sat up straight,and Kara felt her hand being squeezed. Luckily her voice seemed to work just fine still. She watched for whatever she could as Cat's mouth moved to say something than stopped as she remembered that Kara couldn't basically hear her. Then apologies.

"You apologize too much Cat Danvers"

The queen of media looked surprised at her,and Kara wished she could've had her usual 20/20 vision to have a full look at Cat. She did feel the slight push in her arm,and bursted into laughters. They left her breathless and a bit in pain,but she was so happy to have managed to take this first step that she could stand some of it to just have Cat relaxing a bit.

Kara was unsure of the way she sounded,because there was no way to hear herself,but she had to have managed to get out some words without messing them up,because they were understood.

Only problem was how to catch the possible answer.

She felt some movin around,and took the opportunity to point at her eyes,but she didn't have to voice her concerns for Cat to understand what was going on. Another part of the pact on her staying on earth was happening. Kara and Cat both knew that there was nothing that could be done if not facing the Dealer himself to actually solve the problem. That was something they had talked about,but Cat went to retrieve the doctor anyway to actually solve the communication problem and pheraps monitor what was going on.

Meanwhile she was left with an armful of Carter she didn't mind at all.

had a quick check up before proposing they use technology. The DEO was full of ways to help Supergirl.

For the time being some of the agents would've modified one of the usual coms according to the latest hearing aids which had been created. They were sure her hearing wasn't fully gone,as they had tested her. So the sooner they had gotten her those the better it would've been for her,and she would've been able to know how the surgery had actually gone.

Sight would've probably been an issue,but Doctor Hamilton suggested they focus on monitoring the other senses,and trying to solve her hearing problem,rather than sight.

Once she had been strong enough to face the Dealer,Hank was sure she could've faced him even using less sight than usual,but without both it would've been impossible for her to know where he was.

Being as good as he was at hiding and taking people by surprise it would've been easy for him to sneak out of the way and deal her with a bad hand. With her hearing back she could've heard him move,and shuffle around.

They were left alone for a bit more,with Cat lying by her on one side and Carter on the other,and she fell asleep.

If her knowledge was still intact something was supposed to happen at this point. She was supposed to have a crisis,as she could feel herself starting to have problems breathing,but she was sure they were ready,hence they would've known how to solve it. They were just a call away when she called out for them. This time things would've worked out,of that they were all pretty sure. Nothing to truly worry about,she wasn't. Not this time around.
