Author's note: Hope you are all enjoying the weekend! So I finished another chapter... Hopefully it will help with that last cliff hanger a little... Enjoy! And as always please let me know what you think :D


"Lena!" Kara called out, desperately trying to see through the haze, the occasional lead infused rubble playing havoc with her x-ray vision. "Lena!"

Her super hearing suddenly made out a call for help, and someone else shouting out Lena's name

"Ms. Luthor! Can you hear me?!"

Kara sped as quickly as she could through the debris, trying to minimise any further collapse by propping up unstable beams as she went. The calls grew louder to her sensitive ears as she pressed on and by her judgement; she was nearing the approximate location of where Lena's office used to be.

She ducked under a partially collapsed doorway and finally spotted someone moving up ahead. A brunette woman crouched over another's body, desperately bracing a fallen beam, trying to prevent it crushing the person underneath.

Kara immediately rushed forwards to lean down and lift the beam clear and out of the way. The woman immediately dove underneath to check the person in front of her, trusting that the presence of Supergirl would keep them safe from further danger.

"Ms. Luthor? Ms. Luthor? Can you hear me?"

"Lena!" Kara cried out as she finally got a glimpse of the dust and blood covered woman lying on the floor with her leg twisted awkwardly underneath her.

"K… Kara..? Lena whispered before a harsh coughing took over.

"No Ms. Luthor, it's me, Paige Matthews. Remember? I'm covering for your secretary Jess whilst she's away. Supergirl is here as well."

As she spoke, Paige efficiently checked over Lena's body. After confirming that there was no spinal damage, and that her leg was fractured, not broken, she moved to the improvised, now blood soaked, bandage covering Lena's lower stomach.

Kara glanced down and blanched as she saw a thin metal pole erupting from the CEO's stomach, surrounded by the bandages.

"Right, Lena, are you still with me?" Paige asked in a calm voice

Lena nodded, her gaze still a little vacant.

"I need to fix up the wound in your stomach before we can move you, this will hurt Ms. Luthor. Supergirl, can you keep her still please?"

Kara nodded silently and moved to where Lena's head rested on the broken concrete. She removed her cape and bundled it up before slipping it carefully under the Luthor's head. She leaned forwards and braced Lena's shoulders, pushing her gently but firmly against the concrete.

"Hey there…"

"Supergirl?"

"Yea, I'm here." Kara smiled down at Lena. "Paige is going to fix you up, so I need you to just focus on me OK?"

"O…K…" Lena stared up at Kara, their eyes crossing the distance between them as Kara did her best to hold Lena's attention and distract her from the imminent pain.

Kara kept her gaze focussed utterly on Lena's eyes, thinking to herself how beautiful they were, and then suddenly wondering why she was thinking that way... Those eyes distracted her from the sudden bright white light that surrounded Paige's hands as the woman focussed on Lena's injury. She pulled the metal bar out in one swift motion, her other glowing hand pressed firmly against Lena's stomach.

Lena screamed out once as the bar was removed, her hands shooting up to grip Supergirl's arms with surprising strength.

"You're OK; everything will be OK, just a little longer..." Kara tried to sound reassuring, not quite sure why she was trusting Paige rather than flying out to find an emergency doctor. But Lena trusted her… And Kara suddenly realised that that was enough for her.

She looked up to check on Paige's progress and gasped in shock. Her eyes widened as she saw the mystery woman had reduced a gaping, heavily bleeding wound to a fresh, raw scar that looked months, instead of moments, old. White light surrounded her hands as the last of the wound knitted itself back together. She wrapped the area with a strip of slightly cleaner cloth ripped from her shirt. As she tied the last knot she looked up at Supergirl, and a slightly healthier looking Lena.

"I hope I can trust you to keep my secret Supergirl?" She asked

"Of course… but…"

Paige spoke again before Kara could finish the question "Ms. Luthor, how do you feel?"

"Like I've had a building fall on me…" Lena smiled, trying to joke, but finishing instead with a coughing fit. "I'll live, thanks to you Ms Matthews, and you too Supergirl." She gripped both of their hands in thanks. "It's always handy to have alien friends and employees." She smiled in gratitude.

"So you already know about…" Supergirl looked pointedly at Paige's hands.

"Of course! When she applied, I thought it would be highly useful to have somebody with Ms. Matthews incredible abilities here at L. Corp, considering how many times people have tried to kill me… And that reminds me, Ms. Matthews? Make sure to remind me to give you an extra bonus this month"

"That's really not necessary Ms. Luthor…"

"I insist." Lena replied firmly, sitting up with Kara's help and a wince. "Now, can you both help me stand up so we can get out of here before the rest of my building collapses?" The two women helped the still unsteady Lena to her feet and each ducked under one arm to give further support as they walked out and towards the way Kara had flown in.

"I really need to have a word with the contractor about building a sturdier tower next time…" Lena commented as she looked around the wreckage that used to be her place of work.
