I Will Follow You Until the End
Despite Alex’s obvious reservations concerning Lena, lunch and shopping had gone well and soon all three of them were walking back to Kara’s apartment with content smiles and easy laughter and for a moment Kara felt completely at peace. But then Alex’s phone rang and only a moment later Kara heard the sirens and she knew her brief shining moment of peace had come to an end. One night. I just want one night of peace. Can’t criminals and aliens just relax, Kara found herself thinking as she tossed Lena an apologetic look and started running down the nearest alley in order to step into her role as Supergirl. She paused before flying away completely though looking at Lena. “Go home. Stay safe.”
Lena nodded and continued her trek back to Kara’s apartment.
Kara heard Winn in her ear shortly after she took to the sky. “It a fire. a Big one. Not sure how it started yet but I am sure a lot of people are going to be hurt if it doesn’t get put out soon.”
“I’m on it. Is the fire department there yet?”
“They’re about a minute out.”
Kara focused and flew as fast as she could to the site of the fire. Winn wasn’t exaggerating when he said it was a big fire. her first focus was getting the people out of the building. Even with her super speed she struggled but when she was sure all the people were safe she started on the flames with her ice breath even still it was one of the longest fires Kara had ever experienced.
“Kara, That was no natural fire. A witness saw a woman start the fire. Alex caught her. She... ” she heard Winn in her ear but she couldn’t concentrate on what he was saying.
She frowned. “Something’s wrong....” Kara said suddenly. “Alex... you there?”
“I’m here. what’s up?” Alex’s voice crackled some over the ear piece. Kara focused on Alex for a moment listening to calm even breaths and a steady heartbeat. A frown tugged further at Kara‘s mouth.
“Something.... Lena... where’s Lena?”
“She went to your place? you sent her home?” Kara could practically hear Alex frowning.
“No.... no somethings wrong with her... her heartbeat... it’s not right... it’s to far away for her to be at home” Kara closed her eyes to concentrate. The noises of the rest of the city faded into silence as Kara focused on Lena and only Lena and in moments Kara heard a painful cry and the erratic heartbeat is if she were pressed against Lena and not miles away.
Suddenly Kara heard a new unfamiliar voice break through and the words she said sent a chill down Kara’s spine. “Lillian Luthor sends her thanks for making Lena so easy to find.”
Everything after that is a blur. She hears Alex yell something about back up and the distinct sound of a body hitting one of the interrogation tables at the DEO ... hears Winn’s typing and his voice which is cracking anxiously despite his reassurances. But she only hears those things for a short moment because the next she is in the air tearing her ear piece out and allowing the sounds of Lena and only Lena to guide her.
I will find her and I will destroy anyone that hurt her.
