As the group finally entered the waiting room, where Kara, dressed as Kara, was impatiently pacing, her daughter immediately ran to her.
"Mom!"
"Hey." Kara said hugging her tightly.
"We saw you get hurt." Alex said.
"I'm fine." Kara assured her before looking at the other two teenagers and saying. "And your mom will be too." She then released her daughter and hugged both of Alex's children. "She is out of surgery and the doctor said she will make a full recovery, but she'll need lots of rest."
"Ms Danvers." A nurse said entering the room.
"Yes." The older Kara said.
"You can see your sister now. But it is hospital policy that only-"
"I'm sorry, I don't think we've met." Lena said approaching the nurse. "I'm Lena Luthor. As in the owner of this hospital."
"Yes Ms Luthor." The nurse said nervously.
"I'd like to thank you for everything you have done for my friend and I have every confidence you will do everything needed to make her family be comfortable. And at the moment these children need to see their mother."
"Of course Ms Luthor." The nurse said looking more nervous. "This way."
As they followed the nurse the older Kara mouthed her thanks to Lena who just shrugged in response.
"She is in here. But please keep the noise down." The nurse pleaded as they reached a room.
"Of course." Lena smiled as the older Kara opened the door and went in, followed by the others.
Seeing his mother in the hospital bed MJ suddenly turned and ran out of the room.
"I've got it." Lena assured the others before chasing after him.

"You are a hard man to find." Lena said when she found MJ on the hospital roof.
"Sorry." MJ said.
"It wasn't a criticism." Lena said moving over to stand next to him. "Want to talk about it?"
"When I saw her there, it reminded me of that night. I mean I know it's not the same, but I just went back to then." MJ said. "I guess I freaked out."
"Which is completely understandable." Lena said.
"I'm a coward."
"No, you are not." Lena assured him.
"I'm hiding on a roof."
"You have been through a lot. Being affected by it is healthy." Lena assured him. "There are other ways to be there for your mom."
"Like what?"
"I'm going to go and pick up some clean clothes and find some food to smuggle in. why don't you come help me?"

"How is she?" Eliza asked as she and J'onn entered the hospital room.
"Eliza." The adult Kara said looking round and seeing her foster mother.
"Hey Sweetie." She said moving to the other side and hugging her granddaughter, as her daughter explained.
"The say she'll be okay, but she'll need lots of rest."
"Where's MJ?" Eliza asked.
"He freaked out." The younger Kara said.
"Lena took him and Alex home." The older Kara added.
"Why don't you go join them?" Eliza said to both Kara's.
"I'm not going." Her granddaughter said resolutely.
"Can we keep the noise down?" Alex asked from the hospital bed.
"Mom!" Kara said looking back at her mother and squeezing her hand.
"I'm okay." Alex smiled trying not to wince in pain. "Mom's right you should go get some rest. I'm not going anywhere." She added groggily.
"I'm not going." Kara argued as Alex fell back to sleep.

"How's mom?" MJ asked as soon as his aunt entered the house.
"She's okay. She woke up briefly. Eliza, Kara and J'onn are staying with her." Kara explained as her daughter approached her and hugged her.
"Thank you for looking after them." Kara said to Lena as she held her daughter.
"Of course. But I should probably get going. Call if you need anything."
"Thanks." Kara said. "Oh and Lena. Could you give this to the DEO." Kara said reaching out and handing Lena the gem she had removed.
"I'll deal with it." Lena said leaving.
Kara then approached her nephew and hugged him. "Your mom is going to be okay." She then silently held him for a minute before pulling away and asking. "How are you?"
"Okay." He said non-committedly.
"I assume you don't want to go to bed?" Kara asked MJ. When he shook his head she said. "Then lets have a movie night. You can pick anything you want."
"Okay." He nodded.
"Go get ready for bed first." Kara said. "You'll be more comfortable in pyjamas."
Nodding again he disappeared upstairs as Kara moved over to her daughter.
"You okay?" Kara asked her daughter when it was just the two of them.
"You were on the news." Alex said. "He hurt you."
"He did." Kara agreed.
"It reminded me of Chibnell." Alex said.
"This time I healed much faster." Kara smiled.
"I thought you couldn't get hurt here."
"No. I can. My powers, our powers, don't make us invincible. But I am okay now."
"MJ told me someone nearly killed your cousin."
"Yes." Kara said. "But he's okay."
"I thought you were going to die."
"Hey, I'm okay." Kara said hugging her before pulling away and asking. "Do you know why I won?"
"You are stronger than your cousin?"
"Well yes. But the reason I am stronger is because of you." Kara said. "You make me strong. I will always fight as hard as I need to so I can come back to you. Okay?"
"Okay." Alex said as MJ came down.
"Let's get movie night started." Kara said moving over to the couch where Alex and MJ sat either side and hugged her.
