The next few weeks went by extremely slow. I was used to being on the run, not getting enough sleep, and fighting my way from day to day. But now, I did nothing. I didn't have a job, I didn't work as Supergirl, and Alex and I were still on cold terms, but Barry and Maggie always tried to get us together. They made it an event that happened almost weekly.

It hurt that I wasn't anyone to this world. It was killing me on the inside, but I couldn't do anything. Supergirl couldn't just come back from the dead, and Kara Danvers was long gone to the people who she worked with.

Barry was constantly leaving to save National City. He finally visited his father and the others. The smile on his face after seeing everyone was so bright, it was almost contagious.

I was sitting with Barry, Alex, and Maggie on my couch. Barry had a comforting arm around my waist. Maggie and Alex were both holding onto each other lovingly as we watched the tv. The tv cut to black for a second. We all looked at each other with alarm. Maggie's phone went off and we all jumped slightly. Barry laughed and I smiled while Alex shook her head. "Detective Sawyer. Uh huh. Okay, I'll be there in 20." She stated and stood up. "Trouble?" Barry asked. "Yeah, but they're not sure what it is. Come on Flash." Barry followed Maggie out the door.

Alex and I both looked at each other and sat in silence. "Now what do we do?" I asked. She shrugged. "Nothing, unless we're- I'm called in to help." My shoulders sagged lightly. Alex noticed.

"Sorry."

"No. That life is over."

We turned our attention back to the tv, which was now following breaking news. I watched as Barry arrived along with the NCPD. The helicopter's spotlight was scanning the dark roads until I saw it. Standing tall and lanky with its bright orange eyes. "Cruid." I growled.

"Huh?"

"These were some aliens on Terram Two. Nasty things. Venomous. I was bitten by one. Not fun." I stated. We continued to watch as the NCPD was pushed back. The creature grabbed Barry and slammed him into the ground. He didn't get back up. I could practically hear the Cruid snarling. One cop noticed the Flash's weakness and began to fire at the Cruid. It immediately turned to the cop. I read the back of the jacket. I jumped up and rushed out the door. "What?Kara!" Alex called after me in confusion. She didn't know.

Without thinking, I jumped to the skies and flew off to the site of the conflict. I landed between Maggie and the Cruid. "Get out of here! Go! Grab the Flash and go!" I commanded. I turned away from Maggie and the others. "Remember me?" I asked. "Kryptonian. It's been a while. I was wondering when I get to taste your blood again as last time, I clearly didn't finish the job."

"This time it's fair."

"How so?" It purred.

I used my heat vision and burned its left eye. It roared in pain. "No handicaps." I smirked and lunged to it. The Cruid used its massive claw to parry my attack. It overcompensated to parry my first attack. I spun around and kicked its lanky leg. It roared in pain as I saw its yellow blood gush from the large crack in its pale pink skin. "This time, I'll make sure the venom hits your heart."

"You won't have time to. You'll be long dead before then."

"Then I'll make sure I'll take some victims before I go." It jumped straight over me and landed 50 feet away, right in front on Maggie. The Cruid wrapped it's claws around her torso. "NO!" I flew to intercept the two, but I was a second too late.

The Cruid's teeth sunk into her stomach. Maggie screamed in pure agony. I pulled it off Maggie and threw it into the ocean. I kneeled to her side. Maggie's eyes were starting to roll into the back of her head. "Hold on Maggie." I pressed down on the bite mark. She started to convulse and foam at the mouth.

I was torn away from Maggie's fallen form. "I'm not done yet, Kryptonian!" I gritted my teeth and let my anger control my powers. I pummeled the Cruid into the ground and burned its other eye. Now, it was blind. "I can still smell your sweet blood."

"You want some? Come take it!" I spat and jumped into the sky. I stopped mid-flight and let gravity haul me down. My fist connected with the Cruid's head and I felt it crunch. It fell limp to the ground and there was a pool of yellow blood surrounding its unconscious body.

I ran back to Maggie. Her eyes were shut and she was turning pale. Sickenly bright green veins wrapped up the sides of her neck and trailed wherever her veins went. I wiped off the excess venom that pooled on top of her wound, trying to seep into her veins. The venom burned as it touched my skin and tried to crawl up my forearms. I ripped a part of my shirt to get the rest of venom off of her injury. "Hold on Maggie. Hold on." I grimaced as I wrapped my arms under her and flew as quickly as I could to the DEO. The medical team took her in and tried to get her stable, but I knew that they never encountered this level of toxicity before. I stood outside the bay as they worked.

I listened in on their conversations. "She won't last long. This toxin is killing her. We don't have antitoxins for anything near this severe." Derek stated. Alex tried to rush into the bay, but I stopped her. "What are they doing? Will she make it?"

Derek walked out of the bay. "Will Maggie make it?" Alex pleaded. "I'm sorry, Alex. There is nothing we can do, but slow it down. The venom is killing her. And it seems that she is losing blood, the venom seems to be burning away at it."

"NO! Give her my blood! I don't care how much you need! Please! You have to try!" She begged and tried to break through into Maggie's room.

Derek shook his head. "You know that you are not compatible with her blood type. And you don't have the antitoxins for this."

Realization dawned on me. "But I do." Alex looked at me. Tears trailed down her face and her eyes were filled with panic. I looked away from her briefly. "Kara." She breathed. "I've encountered Cruids before. In the other universe. I've been bitten, and survived. I should have the antitoxins."

"You're not human. It won't work."

"You have to try. Take my blood, find the antitoxins, use my blood to heal her. I don't care what you do, as long as you save her."

Derek bit the inside of his lip as he contemplated. Alex was staring at me like I grew another head. "Fine, come on Kara. Alex, stay out of our way."

Derek had me lay down on a bed next to Maggie's. I looked over and I instantly thought about my first time with the Cruid. Derek turned on a Kryptonite emitter and grabbed a needle.

He punctured my arm and attached it to a machine. He then attached another needle from the machine to Maggie. He typed in some numbers before the machine whirred to life. The blood loss started to affect me instantaneously. My breathing picked up and I started to lose feeling in my fingers and toes. "Kara, I need to stop you. You'll become hypo-anemic and go into cardiac arrest."

"K-keep going. I can handle it." I swallowed the lump in my throat. He continued to take my blood. I took in deep breaths as my vision began to waiver and dim. My eyes rolled into the back of my head and I heard Maggie's heart rate pick back up to normal just before I passed out.

I woke up and everything seemed too bright. I looked down and saw a few layers of blankets on my body. My throat was dry and my head pounded. I pulled myself up into a sitting position and groaned as the room swayed. I slid off the bed and held onto the railing for support. I started to make my way through the med bay. As I did, I saw Maggie's prone form. I froze for a second, and my mind jumped to the thought of her not making it.

I cautiously walked over to her. As I neared her, I heard her heart beating rhythmically. I sighed in relief and sat down by her side. I felt awkward as I looked on her sleeping form. I reached out and held her hand gently. I closed my eyes and sat in silence. I heard a painful groan. "My hero." Maggie stated weakly. I opened my eyes.

Maggie smiled at me with a pale face. "Hey Maggie." I smiled sadly before it changed into a frown. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay Kara. I'm alive. You saved me."

"No, it's all my fault this happened to you. I'm sorry I let the Cruid get to you. I know how painful that was."

"I'm okay Kara. Derek told me what you did for me as I was unconscious. Thank you."

I smiled at her. "Anytime Maggie. We are family, aren't we?" She chuckled. I caught on and laughed with her. "Yeah, we are. Blood sisters, right?"

My face fell. "Alex has been waiting for you to wake up. Barry too."

"Oh, Rao, Barry. Is he okay?"

She nodded. "He's fine. Just a little banged up and a bruised ego. But he's okay." I squeezed her hand and stood up. "Just fair warning, Alex may be a bit chaotic right now."

I nodded and left the med bay. I found Barry and Alex in a conference room. Alex spotted me first and her eyes were on anything, but me. Barry walked over. "Hey Kara. How are you feeling?"

"Better. What about you? The Cruid got some good punches in." He smiled sheepishly. "Yeah. I know. I'm okay. That was a really brave thing you did for Maggie."

"Barry, you know that I couldn't let her die."

"Yeah, I know that, but I can still say how much I love you and how awesome you are."

"Thanks." I leaned in and gave him a quick kiss.

I looked over to Alex and her eyes finally landed on mine. They were swirling with emotions. "You are so stupid, Kara! You can't go charging into fights with all these aliens! Do you have a death wish?! You can't-"

I smiled at her and pulled Alex in a tight hug. She broke down instantly and held onto my shoulders tightly. Her entire body was shaking as she buried her head into the crook of my neck. I rubbed her back as she sobbed. Barry nodded at me and walked away, giving Alex and I some privacy. "Hey, hey. It's okay, Alex. Maggie will be fine. It's all okay. She's alive." I soothed.

After a few minutes, Alex pulled away from me. "W-why did you do it?" She asked with a broken voice. I smiled at her. "There was no reason not to. She's your wife, and you're my sister. She's a part of our family. We take care of each other."

Alex choked back a sob. "El Mayarah." She whispered tearfully and I nodded. "I think it's time we talk." I stated somberly. Time to face the music.

I sat down on a seat and she took one right next to me. "Yeah, I guess so." She agreed sullenly. "What I said to you was wrong. I was conceited and I had no remorse for anyone else's feelings. And what I said about our family was wrong. I should have never thrown it all away so easily. All of you took me in, treated me as family, and never let anyone say anything negative about it. I shouldn't have done that. It wasn't fair. Can you forgive me?"

Alex smiled grimly. "No, Kara, there is nothing to forgive you for. This was all my fault. I acted like a complete bitch. I was an obnoxious, stuck up, just overall a terrible sister. I should have never expected you to be 100% right away. You were right, you needed time and space. And you should've gotten it without question. I felt absolutely terrible after our first fight, and it only got worse as you stayed away. I wanted to see you and apologize right away, but you didn't return."

She bit her lip before continuing. "I also heard that you were going to Caitlin for advice and comfort, and that really hurt me. I always thought that I would be the one you wanted to go to. The one you would depend on. To be honest, there was some twisted sort of enjoyment it when you came to me with your problems. I wanted you to come to me because I knew you to be this amazing superhero. And I had this hero coming to me for advice. It made me feel better about myself when you did. For some stupid, childish reason, hearing about that made me upset and jealous and I didn't want to talk with you. And after came to my apartment and took away that necklace, I was afraid that I lost you forever. That was the last thing that I thought held our mangled relationship together. I didn't know what to do. Maggie talked a lot of sense into me after you left. Everything I said was completely wrong. I don't expect you to ever forgive me for all the terrible things I said, and I have to be okay with that." She sniffled and looked away from me briefly.

"When I showed up at your cell and saw Caitlin there, all my anger came back and all sense of rationale left my body. And all these weeks being forced to see you because of Maggie and Barry, it was hard. I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to apologize. I wanted my sister back, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to be sisters anymore. I was worried that you would reject me. No matter what, I shouldn't have acted that way Kara. I'm so sorry. You were right, 5 years of anger, loneliness, and pain tends to change people. You could've went all brooding psychotic vigilante on us." I smirked and she laughed shortly. I opened my arms to her. Alex's eyes widened and she smiled at me shyly. I nodded at her and she accepted my hug. We held each other tight. It was great to have Alex back.

We pulled away and I wiped away a stray tear from her cheek. "It may take some time to completely forgive you, Alex. But I still love you, more than the universe combined." She squeezed my shoulders lightly. "I love you too, Kara. More than the universe combined."

We walked out of the conference room. Barry joined us. "Oh, thank god you two made up. Maggie and I were trying so hard to get you two to make up!" He smiled at me. We all walked down to the control room.

J'onn walked over to us. "Kara. We need you over here." He stated and walked to the computers. I followed shortly. All the computers had headlines pertaining to me. From The Girl of Steel Lives, Supergirl Returns, Supergirl or a Hoax, and National City's New Hero?

Dread filled my stomach. I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "What are we going to do J'onn? Is there any way to stop the people from thinking Kara is back?" Barry asked. "There are a few ways, but it won't be easy at all. Agent Schott-" J'onn started, but I interrupted him. "No, let them know."

"Kara?"

"Let them know. Supergirl is back. Let's be honest, not being Supergirl has been killing me. Not being Kara Danvers is killing me too." Barry laced his fingers into mine for support. "I miss everyone. I hate hiding out, not being able to leave my apartment without a disguise. I miss flying through the skies. I miss helping the city. I miss my cape. I miss being a hero." Around the room, smiles broke out. Alex placed a hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure about this?" She asked. "Yes."

Woohoo! The Danvers sisters are back! I couldn't keep them mad at each other forever. I love their relationship too much to keep them angry. And Kara wants to be Supergirl again! Yes, finally!

Thank you all for the reviews/favorites/follows! I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoyed the double update and I'll see you all in the next chapter! ~Raya Kor-El
