She stroked her sister's cheek, watching her, focusing on the pallor she continued to present, her breathing as weak as her heartbeat, a fact that alarmed her for a couple of seconds, as she remembered what Alex had told her. In spite of everything, that meant that she was stable.

"Did you sleep here all night?" Alex asked.

She got scared, of course she did, since she was so intent on her thoughts that she had not heard her come in, so yes, it took her a couple of seconds to relax before nodding slightly to her question.

She knew she had promised her that she would not sleep there, that she would go home, but she could not help it, for she could not bear the thought of her sister staying alone, if only for one night.

"Kara, do you know that you're late for work?" Alex said, causing her to panic as she realized that it was true. "I told you to sleep at home because you had to be earlier at work today"

She did not say anything, just got up from the chair where she was sitting to leave as quickly as possible, but not before kissing her sister's forehead.

"If anything happens, call me, please," she begged, leaving.

She reached the maximum speed she could to get as soon as possible, however, hse knew she would not be rid of Cat's scolding, who should be calling her desperately.

Winn was waiting for her on the other side of the elevator, relieved by Mrs. Grant's absence.

"How's your sister?" She asked.

"Well, the teddy thing works, relaxes her enough so I can leave the room," she explained with a smile.

"I have a knack for sewing," he laughed, causing her own laughter, which was watered by the voice of Cat Grant, causing her to run to his office.

"Mrs. Grant, I'm sorry, but ..." she began as she held up a hand to silence her.

"I want clear answers, Kora, bluntly," she asked, making her nervous enough, remembering the interrogation she had done only a couple of months ago. "Where were you?"

"In the ... hospital," her voice faltered for a few seconds, showing insecurity.

"At the hospital? Why? "She continued, wondering.

"Eh ... my sister ... she's there," she replied, feeling that the desire to mourn took over.

"I'm going to tell you one time, do not make me repeat it, Kira, go to that hospital with your sister, I don't want to see you here while she's there, "she said seriously.

"Tha ... thanks, Mrs. Grant," she whispered nervously, genuinely surprised by what she had just said.

However, she did not reply, because she was not going to complain about the offer, so after saying goodbye to Winn she started her return to DEO, frightening her sister, who did not hesitate to believe that something had happened..

"Well, then I think you're going to like to hear the news." Alex smiled. "She's starting to respond, which means she can wake up for the next few hours," she explained.

She smiled as she heard her say that, realizing the reality she was experiencing, that her sister might wake up, yet she still saw it as very difficult.

She strode into the room, stroking her hair, watching her again.

"Kaelah, I know you can hear me, I know you're doing it, you've started doing it recently, but you do it," she said in a whisper. "I need you, so you can do everything you can to get back." She laughed, "I know you can do it, I don't have any doubts, because you're one of the strongest person I know." She caressed her face. "We're waiting for you when you feel ready, okay? We love you, I love you" she kissed her forehead.

She watched as her hand moved indicating that she was listening, she was being aware of what was happening around her, however, what most caught the attention was that her sister struggled to open her eyes, but above all to get it, passing to look at her.

"Hey, sweetie," she whispered, stroking her hair.

The tiredness and confusion were reflected in the face of her sister, who closed her eyes again before she began to cough.

"Shh, do you want some water?" She asked, getting her to just look at her for a couple of seconds.

She sighed, she was not understanding what was happening at the moment, because her sister did not seem to respond to what she had just asked, she had not spoken, not even made the slightest gesture, seriously, this was the last thing it had to happen.

She needed Kaelah to be okay, to see her smile, to hear her laugh, but this meant that she was far from all of that, for her own sister seemed being away mentally.

She watched as she turned her head in search of Alex when she heard her speak, without stopping until she identified her.

"Hey, I knew you were not going to leave so easily" she smiled, getting the same as she had gotten before, silence . "Kara, can we talk outside?"

She hesitated for a couple of seconds, but finally she nodded, releasing her sister's hand, beginning to walk, not before stroking her cheek. Once outside she stood in front of Alex, waiting for her to speak, to explain it, if there was some kind of explanation.

"This ... they're going to have to do tests, obviously something is not right, she doesn't respond the way it should," she said a little uncertainly.

"Do you know what it can be?" She asked.

"No, I don't know, I was quite surprised that she responded in that way" she answered sincerely making her nodded as trying to understand. "Hey, Kara, it's going to be okay, surely this has a solution" her siter whispered as she hugged her.

She blinked away the tears, wanting to believe the last words her sister had just said, wishing they were true, that she had a solution.

The message she had received from her sister had made her too nervous, for the fact that she was in a hurry could only mean that something had happened, although she could not say that it was good or bad, so she tried to get there as soon as possible.

She looked for her sister all over the DEO, finding her in the laboratory, scaring her by greeting from the outside, which she could not bear her laughter.

"I have good and bad news, which one do you want first?" She questioned.

"The bad and then the good," she replied.

"I know I said that in a couple of days everything would return to normal, but they have no solution, Kara" Alex explained. "And the good thing is that she can go home with you, she's clean, the last analysis indicates that there is no kryptonite in her blood" she smiled as she spoke.

She could not help but smile, it was hard to believe that it was true that she could take her home, that she would be with her again. At this moment all the feelings were mixed in her, making her want to cry, but at the same time could not stop smiling, honestly, she could not describe it.

She had no doubt, this was the best moment of the day, for she had her sister sitting in the couch of the apartment, but that she was completely absent from everything around her.

"Do you want water?" She asked, bringing her a glass, but she did not receive a reply, so she left it on the table in front of her, watching as she picked it up and began to drink almost non-stop. "Hey, hey, Kaelah, small sips, "she whispered, getting a small result, because she seemed to slow down." Do you want to go to bed? "She asked after observing that she left the glass and rubbed her eyes.

She got no answer, but Kaelah got up and went to her room, so she followed, seeing that she lay on the bed hugging the stuffed animal dressed up as Supergirl, which it had not been separated of her during all these days, snuggling.

"Good night, Kaelah, I love you," she whispered from the doorway shortly before turning off the light being held back by her voice.

"Ka ... ra, don't go," she said in a whisper. "Stay with me."

She felt her eyes wet as she heard her speak for the first time after all these days, coming to her, lying down beside her, resting her head on her shoulder, hugging her tightly.

"Do ... don't leave me alone ... please," she pleaded in a trembling voice.

"Never, Kaelah," she whispered, kissing her forehead, trying to make her feel protected.
