Whalegang34 - What is my favorite thing to do? That's a good question. I like to edit videos and also like reading different fics on here. What is my favorite show? Aside from Supergirl, because it is on hiatus, my current favorite right now would have to be the 100, hands down.
"Lillian, don't move. Stay there!"
Alex looked on, unable to speak. Horrified that Lillian forced Kara to drink kryptonite.
That wasn't on any video.
Kara was clumsily backing away, fear written in her eyes.
Alex quickly hid the glass in the sink where Kara couldn't see. She started moving towards her little sister to try to comfort her.
Kara seemed to be conflicted as to whether the person in front of her was her worst enemy or her best friend. Her brain was stuck in the flashback, telling her it was Lillian, but her heart was beating alongside a familiar heartbeat.
Alex's.
Kara listened to her big sister's heartbeat and it grounded her. She started to come back to reality and realized she had just experienced a panic attack.
When she came out of her dazed stupor, she felt Alex rubbing her back soothingly with one hand and holding her hand with the other.
"Okay, Kar. Shhh, it's all right now. The smoothie is gone, don't worry. You don't have to drink kryptonite, there's none in this apartment. You're fine, Kar. You're fine..."
Kara calmed and collapsed into Alex's arms, sobbing.
"God, Lex. What's wrong with me?! I can't even drink a green smoothie. I can't be near syringes or oxygen masks, I don't... What is happening to me?"
Alex quietly spoke,"There's nothing wrong with you, Kar. Believe me. This is perfectly natural. What you went through was extremely traumatic, and now you may be having stress episodes related to the sources of your trauma. But it's okay, though, because I'm here to help. We'll fix it. Together."
Kara nodded shakily, and they both headed to the couch. Alex sat, while her little sister rested her head in her lap. Alex chuckled a little.
"Hey, sleepyhead. I bet the bed is more comfy. Wanna move there?"
There was no response except for a snore. Alex smirked.
"Guess not." She let out a small laugh and settled into the couch, and they passed out together.
The next morning, Alex woke up to an empty couch. She immediately jolted awake and scanned the surrounding area for Kara. Alex found her laying on the hard wood, the one area of her apartment that had no carpet.
"Kar? What are you doing over there? Why did you move to the hardest part of the ground? Did you have a nightmare or something?"
Kara shook her head sadly. "I was sleeping a little uncomfortably, when I suddenly woke in the middle of the night. I couldn't fall back asleep. The couch was... too soft, I think. I've become acclimated to sleeping on hard ground with no warmth, so I moved so I could get some rest..."
Alex's eyes watered as she briskly walked over and wrapped Kara in a fierce hug. "God, Kar, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Look at all the things she has screwed up. I... Tonight, I'll sleep on the floor with you, and we'll slowly start adding blankets underneath until you feel comfortable enough to sleep on the couch. From there, we can move you to the bed when you're ready. Does that sound okay?"
Kara nodded, determined, remembering Alex's words from the night before. "We'll beat it together... I will live a great life, just to spite her."
Alex laughed at the attempted joke and they stood up. "So Kar, what do you want to do today? Stay home and rest? Go outside for a little?"
Kara responded,"Anything is fine, I have a lot of energy I'm looking to burn off."
This caused Alex to ask curiously. "Are you in any pain?"
Kara shook her head happily. "I feel perfect today... maybe a little too much. I'm going to explode with all this energy."
Alex chuckled. "Well, that would be no good. We can't be having any wild Kara explosions happening anytime soon. If you're feeling up to it, I want to try and teach you some self-defense, in case you ever find yourself in need of basic combat skills. Does that sound like something you might be interested in?"
Kara nodded enthusiastically. "You were a pretty big badass when you burst in to my cell room and saved me. I'd be learning from the best after all."
Alex smiled and punched Kara's arm playfully, as they got dressed and ready to head to the DEO.
When they arrived, Hank had a red solar emitter room ready to go as requested by Alex the night before. She had texted him to set up a room that would strip Kara of her powers, but wanted to avoid potential PTSD with kryptonite.
J'onn found his solution in red solar energy, and the agents quickly had a room set up within hours.
Kara and Alex made a beeline for the room and immediately shut the door behind them.
As requested, it was large and spacious, so Kara wouldn't feel trapped. There was also a dial to adjust the red sun energy's strength, in case Kara felt unsafe without her powers. There were also no surveillance cameras, for Kara's privacy, which never happened any other time inside the DEO.
This was strictly their room.
Kara was in awe of the advanced technology in the room, and Alex laughed in amusement.
Then Kara finally spoke up. "This is so cool, I feel like I'm in the future."
Alex grinned. "It's because you are, dummy. Now get up here and show me what you got." Alex motioned to the raised platform in the center of the room, that she was currently standing on.
As Kara stepped up, she taunted,"Don't think I'll go easy on you just 'cause you're my big sister. I'm going to beat you."
Alex snorted. "Oh, I'm not too worried. Give it your best shot."
Alex underestimated Kara and took it easy, expecting improper technique and an easily beatable opponent. She fought almost lazily.
Rookie mistake, Agent Danvers.
