With the nagging despair hitting her hard after countless hours working with Brainy to come up with a solution to eliminate the kryptonite from the atmosphere, it was his tears that had fallen her expertise in bottling emotion that got them both to figure out the puzzle finally. They pieced the places back together and prayed it was soon enough to save Kara from her confining tomb.

Both of them had heard the scream from the other room they had been working frugally in to come up with the solution to their biggest threat. Lena had immediately ran out at the sound of a voice she knew all too well. But as both of them rounded the corner it was Brainy whom held her back to bring a finger to her lips to silence her. Obviously he didn't comprehend how pissed off that made her. She'd let it go for now more concerned with the words she was hearing from a panicked terrified voice.

Within the room Alex had jumped up from the chair immediately waking up from the exhaustion that had forced her down for a few, upon the voice she'd been waiting to here. Her sister's body began to buck stirring then thrashing. She could hear the heavy breaths from the full headgear of Lena's design that had protected Kara from breathing in the dangerous air.

"Wha...what...what's happened..why am I in here...get me out!" The full blown trembles were raking Kara's body she tried to look around but barely saw anything. Her body felt constricted as if a python had clenched her in it's coiled up grip. She couldn't breathe, every alarm going off in her head through her entire body.

"Hey hey, it's okay...just breathe. I'm here." Alex leaned over her so Kara could see her sister's face.

"What.."

"Mercy fired kryptonite into the air.."

"I can't breathe...I can't breathe.." Kara thrashed her helmet wielded head unable to stop the enclosed space from wrecking her logic. She felt as if she was back in that pod in the phantom zone all over again.

"No, hey! Look at me! You're fine." Alex wasn't getting through to her and she knew exactly why. "This suit is keeping you alive. So just...breathe.." She knew the panic Kara was experiencing. It was claustrophobia at its worst. The heavier breaths had somewhat stopped the whimpers and sobs she heard but were dying down some as well.

"I'm okay.." Kara tried to tell herself looking at the computer like screen in the visor of the suit's face. She noticed the components and a part of her knew who had made what she was wearing. "Tell me everything…" That's when she heard a familiar set of footsteps, of heels tapping the tile floor. She turned her head and her eyes went wide unable to speak just choking to start hyperventilating again.

"Lena.." Alex wasn't sure this was the time but she knew she couldn't stop what was about to happen if she tried. Their gazes met and Lena tapped her head to the side motioning with her eyes with the Director sighing nodding. Alex looked back to her sister. "I will be right back, okay? Lena is here with you. More than you know." The two women met stares once more and Alex stepped away hoping she was doing the right thing.

"Wha…" Kara wanted out of the suit so badly. The tightness, that constriction only worsened and her panic rose to a dangerous level.

"You need to remain calm. You have to do that for me okay?" Lena leaned down and grabbed both of Supergirl's layered hands gripping tight to them and tugging back toward her own body to help the hero sit up. "Calm yourself. Center yourself back to a calmer heart rate." She would remain professional even though all she wanted to do was embrace her best friend and cry in her arms. Kara needed her all together right now.

"Lena I…" How was she going to break this to her? Did she know? Wait, she was in the room when Alex and her had talked. She was stumbling over herself with her words.

"I have something of yours." Lena reached into her pocket and pulled out Kara's phone. Her cerulean eyes widened seeing what her best friend was holding. "Defeated and out of air.."

Why did those words seem so familiar to Kara? Lena still held the device not giving it back yet looking from it to her face and how she wished she couldn't be seen at the moment. But those emeralds so stern became the softest of greens and Kara found herself lost to them in them. "Well you live and your learn, to fight...and do nothing but what you love.." Lena sang softly. "...yeah it seemed like the longest time...for me to get it right...yeah you live and you learn.." Kara felt a huge lump in her throat trying to swallow it down but shaking.

"You know." Her voice as shaky as her entire body, her fear gnawing at her like a pack of savage wolves. "Oh….oh Rao no…" She felt the panic attack hitting her like a kryptonite bullet and she began to thrash only for her arms to be caught at her wrists by her best friend.

"I love that song now, because of you." Lena began sliding her grip from Kara's wrists to her hands holding them tightly. "Only you could bring me that much depth within soft yet strong words. Like you are….both soft and strong." She felt Kara's body starting to shake less but she knew the woman, she understood that anxiety. "I had heard the broadcast over my screens my radio at L-Corp. I saw footage and it terrified the hell out of me. I went to grab my phone to call you in hopes….it wasn't you that was falling for the second time before my eyes. I was just about to call Alex when she called me. I was out the door after that at full speed and for the first time in a long time I grabbed my bike keys and sped off towards the DEO. I was on the phone, on my bluetooth talking to the Director and despite her best efforts, I heard the panic in her voice."

"Lena.." Kara needed to explain but then she saw her best friend chuckle.

"Flew here on a bus hmm?"

"Oh Rao.." Of all the dumb things she'd ever said to Lena. No wonder she'd put the pieces together. "How long.."

"Honestly? Your eyes the first time we met with Kent in the office with you. Your eyes so unlike any blue I'd ever seen. Those eyes may have hid behind lenses but those eyes were looking in my own when you saved me the first time. Those eyes were ones I stared into each time you protected me and put yourself in harms way just to do so. Those eyes I looked into when you told me everything would be okay and how amazing I was. How good I was. Those eyes that gave me warmth and promise that I could do more, be more." Lena looked away sighing still holding Kara's hands. "Those eyes I filled with fear and distrust for my actions with what I made. Those eyes that shook when I asked you what your name was."

"Juru." Kara felt such a depth of calm wash over her suddenly and perhaps it was Lena's presence that did that.

"You were ready to give yourself over, to die to save me. I knew when Reign grabbed me what you would do to get her away from me. I bottled up my feelings my angers my rage at myself my failures before we went in there. I tried to stay formal but what we were causing between us, that stale air….I couldn't breathe. I attacked you. I did it in the elevator too with what I said."

"But you knew it was…"

"I had separated your identities out. I had forced myself to forget who you actually were. I had started to believe my own selective vision." Lena removed one of her hands from Kara's and grabbed the phone off the table she was sitting on. "This song.."

"I don't know exactly where I'll land..

Though I know where I'm at and I'm not turning back,

But it's crazy that…"

Lena reached out and put a hand over the hero's chest right where her heart resided. "For so long, oh how I didn't know where...I was going I was long gone...defeated and out of air…"

"But you live and you learn to fight…" Kara sang under the suit.

"And do nothing but what you love.." Lena sang with her.

"Yeah it seemed like the LONGEST time, for me to get it right...yeah you live and you learn!" Both of them sung together Lena's hand pressing against Kara's chest and Kara's hand gripping with some strength holding her best friend's own.

"I will not fail to get you free of that Kara. You have my word on that." Lena told her with all the conviction she could give in her words her voice her eyes. "I will not let you down again."

"I promise...no more falling." Kara said jokingly but serious enough. "No more falling on you."

"I'd rather you fall for me." Lena felt the words slip out at exactly the wrong time. "Shit.."

"Bout damn time one of you said something." Alex made her presence known as she walked over with a look from a grin to an expression of pure stern concern. "We have a problem.."

Lena clenched her best friend's hand a little tighter and prayed to Kara's own Rao, that Supergirl wouldn't be needed anytime soon. She looked passed the Director to Brainy whom motioned for her to come out of the room. Had he figured out the last of their dilemma? Lena looked from one Danvers to the other. Whatever it took, she was gonna give Kara back her light. She looked once more at Kara and patted her chest.

"I will be back okay? Listen to your sister Kara. You need to Supergirl." She heard the scoff from the Director and a sigh from the stubborn one. Nope, Lena was staying out of this conversation. She had a job to do. She had to save the person in her life that was meant to be there all along. She would be that hero, her hero...Kara always believed she could be..
