"You're not a part of this family, you're not my sister."

Those words were still ringing in Kara's ears, as she fought the latest alien that decided to attack National City. She knew Alex was hurting, but after that, after those words, Kara was hurting to.

"Supergirl stand down, we can see traces of kryptonite on him." Kara heard J'onns' voice coming across coms, but she could not. She had him this time, her anger towards Alex and the whole situation was working in her favour. "No, I've got this, I don't think he has any on him." John sighed in frustration, he couldn't stop Kara, he would just have to help her. Sending in a squad, he spoke again, "Supergirl, a team has arrived to help you, don't do anything reckless," there was a pause, "please," he said quieter this time.

The team sent in from the DEO, began open fire on the alien, it was not cooperating and harming the civilians around it. That is when Kara felt it, there was a dull ache in her body and her head began to hurt. "Kryptonite," she whispered to herself. To her horror, she watched the alien she was fighting pull out a gun, there was that familiar green glow coming from it that struck fear into her heart.

"Hey," there was a yell from someone on the ground below her. The alien turned, "how dare you address me, you worthless primitive creature." Kara looked down in shock to see her sister, Alex, yelling at the alien and firing at it, trying her best to get the creature away from her. For a moment, her heart ached, she missed her sister so much and this reminded her of the love she had lost. However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, because mere seconds later the gun that had just been pointing to the blonde was now pointing to her sister. For a moment Kara could hear nothing and then, the shot rang out. "No!" She screamed using all the strength, she flew as fast as she could in the direction of Alex blocking her from the bullet.

Instantly, her body became weak and she fell to the ground. At first, she could feel nothing and then, she could feel everything. Pain coursed through her body and she cried out in agony. Somewhere in the distance she could hear one of the agents saying they had taken the alien down. 'That is good' Kara thought to herself, 'but where is Alex?' Fear overtook her body as she felt her eyes beginning to close. She was going to die, and she did not even know if her sister was okay.

All anger and hurt from their pervious argument vanished when she saw the familiar brown eyes, "I love you," she murmured as her eyes closed.

"Oh God, Kara, Kara!" Alex cried out; she could not let her sister die on her. "We need medical evac for Supergirl now!" Alex ordered as she picked up her sister. "Come on Kara, don't die on me, not now, I love you, I didn't mean anything that I said, please…please."

It had been three months. Alex came to visit Kara every morning. Maggie had come with her for a little while at first, but she could not keep up with the daily visits, Alex's constant crying, begging Kara to wake up out of her coma. On this particular morning, Alex brought with her some yellow roses. She knew how much Kara love flowers especially brightly coloured ones. She said they reminded her of the sun. "Morning sweetheart," Alex said gently, running her hands through her sister's golden hair. "I brought you some flowers this morning, I think you would like them, yellow like the sun." Alex paused and took some deep breathes trying to compose herself, "You are my sun you know, my life got so much better when you came into it, I could have never asked for a better sister." A stray tear slipped down her face, "Please wake up, I love you so much." The brunette placed a firm kiss into the golden hair and turned to leave. She still had work to do, but she would be back tomorrow and the next day and the next, for however long it took for her sister, the most important person in her world, to wake up.

Two weeks later Alex got a call, it was three in the morning when she received it. It was from the DEO, so she answered it expecting it to be work. "Agent Danvers," a voice came through from the other end, "Supergirl she is awake and asking for you." Her breathe caught in her throat, her sister was awake. It had almost been four months; she could believe it. She was frozen in position for a moment, until Maggie rolled over,

"What was that call, do you need to go into work?" She questioned; her voice rough with sleep.

"It's Kara, she's woken up."

When Alex arrived at the DEO, she was dressed but still wearing her slippers. Displaying to those around her that she had moved fast, and they were not surprised. Not all of them knew her connection to Supergirl, but they knew they had a close bond. Alex ran through the corridors of the DEO, desperate to make it to her sister. When she reached the door, she saw a lot of doctors standing around and J'onn holding onto her sisters' hand. Kara was not sitting up like Alex expected her to be. Slightly concerned Alex opened the door and entered the room.

"Kara," she said quietly heading towards were her sister lay on the bed.

"Alex, Alex!" Tears sprung into the blonde's eyes. A cough came from one of the doctor's standing around Kara's bed.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need to inform you of Supergirl's position." Alex looked up and nodded, indication to the doctor that he had her full attention. "It appears that when Kara was shot, the kryptonite bullet embedded itself in a vein in her neck. We have done extensive testing and it would appear that Supergirl has lost all motor control from the neck down. Now we cannot say for sure, but we do believe this to be permanent because of the extensive time she spent in that coma. Of course, there is chance that she will recover as we have never seen this happen to a kryptonian, though I have to warn you I honestly believe this is an extremely small chance." By this point tears were streaming down, Kara, J'onn and Alex's face.

"Thank you, doctor," J'onn said after it was clear neither of the sisters were going to say anything. The man gave a nod and left the room followed by the other doctors.

"Kara," Alex began, "You are not alone, I promise, I'm not going to leave you, we will get through this together." Kara nodded; she still had not fully processed the news she was given. She was still trying to get over the fact that she had been in a coma for almost four months, let alone being paralysed from the neck down.

After a while, J'onn left leaving the two sisters alone. "Alex," Kara whimpered, Alex just held her sister, she knew, she understood. The realisation was hitting her sister and she was going to struggle.

Alex and driven Kara back to her apartment, a couple of days later when the DEO cleared her to go. At first Alex had wanted to bring Kara back to her place, but when Maggie refused to have Alex's 'crippled' sister in the apartment, Alex moved out and ended things. She needed to be there for her sister and having that kind of toxic negativity around Kara would not be good for her mental state which Alex knew was going to suffer. Alex had already moved all of her things in the day before, ignoring Kara's half-hearted attempts of telling her she would somehow be fine. Sitting Kara down on the couch, Alex began making the apartment wheelchair friendly. She cleared a path from the door, through to Kara's bedroom and one to the bathroom. Entering the living room again, Alex kissed the blonde on the head before heading into the bathroom to install a shower chair. Alex knew that she was going to have to help Kara with almost everything, but she still wanted her sister to feel like she had some independence, even if that only meant having a place to sit, instead of leaning on her sister at all times. "Alex," Kara called quietly from her position on the couch.

"Yes sweetheart," Alex answered entering the living room again, Kara nodded to the tv. Seeing that the movie Alex had set up for Kara to watch was over, Alex began to flip through the channels until Kara asked her to stop. Smiling at her sister Alex then moved to the kitchen to make a start on dinner.

The two sat eating the pasta Alex had made. J'onn had given Alex some DEO technology to help out with Kara. A small machine sat in front of Kara's plate and thread her at regular intervals, so Alex did not have to. When they both had finished, Alex brought the plates to the sink, "Its time to shower," Alex said. Kara groaned; this was so frustrating she should be able to do these things herself. She was not that embarrassed growing up, sharing a room together they had seen each other naked plenty of times, but Kara was Supergirl, and she should be able to look after herself. Alex undressed Kara and lifted her onto the shower chair. Quickly, she washed her hair and body and then carried her out, putting her in pyjamas. Alex then helped Kara into bed, sensing that her sister was tired. "Goodnight, sweetheart, I love you."

"Love you too." Was Kara's reply but in the back of her mind she thought of the words her sister had said to her months earlier, "you're not a part of this family, you're not my sister." Kara could not help but feel her sister still meant this and she was only helping her out of a sense of obligation or guilt or something like that. These thoughts plagued Supergirl all through the night.

Two months. Two long gruelling months Kara had spent paralysed. She was so annoyed; she knew what the doctors had said but she was convinced that in no time her powers would be back, and he would be all healed up. However, that had not happened, every day was the same. Alex would help her get up and dressed, Alex would make breakfast, Alex would help her go to the toilet, Alex would help her wash, Alex would put her to bed, Alex did everything. She had not complained once, she had treated Kara with nothing but love, still Kara did not think she meant it and with each passing day this frustration towards her situation grew. Today, J'onn was coming to visit, he did this every now and again, he really did care for the girls.

"Hey J'onn," Alex said cheerly when she answered the door.

"Hey Alex," he replied pulling her into a quick hug, "And hello to you two Kara." He sat down on the couch next to the blonde and pulled her into a hug.

"I'm just going to head out then," Alex said, grabbing her keys and kissing Kara on the head before leaving. She used these opportunities to go out shopping to get things for her and Kara. "What's wrong?" J'onn questioned after Alex left, "you look a lot sadder than usual."

"It's nothing," Kara sighed,

"It doesn't look like nothing, talk to me." And she did. Out came a long rant about how she wanted to be able to things again and how she was growing angrier and more frustrated with each passing day. What also came out, was how Kara felt about Alex, how she believed what Alex had said all those months ago and that she still meant it. "Oh Kara," J'onn sighed gently, "that is not true. She was hurting at the time, but after the accident she visited you everyday she brought you flowers, and she was so incredibly grateful for you saving her. You mean everything to her Kara." Having heard most of it outside the door Alex walked in,

"Of course, I care about you Kara, I love you. I am so incredibly sorry for what I said, I should have apologised sooner but with everything that happened I honestly forgot. You mean the world to me. Everything I have done, and I am doing for you is out of love, nothing else. I swear on my life that is the truth sweetheart."

Tears streaming down her face, Kara nodded, "I love you Lexie,"

"I love you too, so much," Alex pulled her little sister into a hug, and gave her a firm kiss on the temple, "you're my everything Kara."

"Are you sure," Alex questioned a week later. They did not have any food in the house, and no one was available to pick any up for them until later. Alex had ordered them a pizza but had to go and collect it.

"Yes, go I hungry, you'll only be twenty minutes. I can survive twenty minutes without you I promise." Kara replied laughing slightly.

"Well if you're sure, I'll be quick." Alex kissed the blonde head and headed out the door.

Twenty minutes later the phone rang, Kara answered it using her voice. "I'm going to be five minutes late," Alex's voice came through slightly panicked, "Traffic is a nightmare, are you okay?"

"Stop worrying so much I'm fine, and I will be fine for another five minutes,"

"Okay if your ahh…." Kara heard the scream then the line when dead. Fear coursed through her veins, shooting up, she flew out the window to where her sister was. Car accident. Using her X-ray vision, she saw Alex trapped in the car and pulled her out. She could hear the applause behind her. Somebody screamed, "Supergirl is back." Alex looked up from her position in her sister's arms.

"Are you okay," Kara questioned her voice full of concern,

"A few bruises but nothing major." There was silence for a moment. "You're back."

"I'm back."
