You still got hurt
'Aleeeeeex.' Kara whined, pulling on her sister's arm. 'Please.'
'No way.' Alex said firmly. 'Mum will kill me, and J'onn said you're only allowed to in controlled environments.'
The younger sister rolled her eyes and pouted. 'They're not going to find out! I just don't want to forget how to do it.'
Alex shook her head, sighing. 'It's not safe. Someone might see you.'
'I promise I'll be careful!'
The redhead knew she had lost the battle and crossed her arms. 'You'd better be, because it'll be me getting into trouble for this.'
'It'll be fine.' Kara kissed her sister on the cheek, and ran out of the door.
Alex knew that Kara flying out of DEO grounds was a risky thing to let happen, but Kara's wishes were difficult to deny when she pouted.
The pair had been in contact with the DEO since Kara had turned 18. J'onn was a friend of their father, and wanted to help Kara be able to deal with her powers properly, and train her how to use them. The organisation had been asking for Alex to work for them for a couple of years, but she was waiting until she has graduated college before considering working there properly, but she still helped them out every now and then, and did minimal training each month with J'onn. Anything to keep Kara safe.
She got out her phone and text Maggie. Are you about tonight? -A x
Usually Alex got an almost instant reply, but tonight she was kept waiting.

Kara had been flying for about 40 minutes before she decided to walk through the town and grab some takeout for her and Alex.
'Put that down!' She heard a voice shout.
Maggie?
Kara followed the voice, finding Maggie face to face with a gun and a whole group of guys in...armour?
'Maggie!' Kara called out.
Maggie didn't turn around to find out that it was Kara. 'Kara, leave. Now.'
'What's going on?' She asked, taking slow steps towards them all.
'Well, these bunch of dum-dums were trying to kill Duke over there.' Maggie laughed nervously, nodding her head to the alien at the side of the alleyway. 'But erm, yeah, I wasn't going to watch that happen.'
Kara sighed heavily. 'Guys, let them go.'
She heard laughs come from their masked faces. 'What are you going to do about it?'
The blonde shook her head, trying not to think about how much trouble she was going to be in for doing this. 'Okay, let's do this.'
She ran forward, punching the first guy, disarming him quickly. 'Maggie get out of here, take Duke with you.'
Maggie refused, throwing her own fist towards another guy. 'Yeah right.'
The pair fought hard, taking a few blows themselves. Duke had ran off after the second punch was thrown, getting out of harms way.
Kara took a glance at Maggie just as the largest of the guys took a step towards the brunette, pushing her up against the wall. 'Get off of her!'
The guy sniggered before punching her in the head, knocking Maggie out and letting her drop to the ground. 'Maggie!'
The blonde took a step towards her sister's girlfriend but was met with the group of guys surrounding her. Determined to make sure her friend was okay, with anger rising in her chest, she shot her laser vision at the first guy she looked at. Sending him to the ground, she turned to another but not turning quick enough before she was thrown against the brick wall.
She fought to get herself back up, without stopping her laser vision for a moment, yelling out as she disarmed three of the four men. Her body growing tired, she knew she was about to blow out her powers.
Pleading with her body to keep going, she tried to get the last guy down but was met with nothing.
She had solar flared.
Whilst the guy took a second to recover, Kara dialed J'onn's number, giving him her location and what was happening before hanging up.
'Not so strong any more are ya kid?' The man sneered through his mask, standing over her as she lay on the ground. He lifted up his foot, stepping on her arm as she yelled out, hearing a crunch.
Not much else happened before Kara had passed out.

'Kara you could've gotten yourself killed!' Alex said angrily, pacing up and down in the medical room of the DEO. 'I told you not to go out.'
Kara groaned slightly, sitting up to talk to her sister. 'Maggie needed help Alex. I couldn't leave her.'
Alex put her head in her hands, sighing heavily. Because she knew. She knew that Kara was being helpful, had saved her girlfriend, but still!
'I erm, I should go.' Maggie had appeared at the doorway, stood awkwardly, hand on her side. 'I'm really sorry I caused all of this trouble. Kara I'm sorry you got hurt because of me.'
'No.' Kara shook her head. 'It's not your fault, you were trying to help someone Maggie.'
The girl shrugged in response. 'You still got hurt Kara. I'm sorry.'
'So did you.' Alex stepped towards her girlfriend, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. 'Are you okay? Should you even be allowed to leave?'
'It's just a broken rib, and a couple of bruises.' She replied, forcing a smile. 'I'm going to go okay? One of the guys out there said they'll escort me home, I've already signed a bunch of paperwork for them, so I can go.'
Alex hesitated, but could sense that Maggie wanted to get out of there. 'Okay, text me though, I want to know you're safe.'
Maggie nodded, giving Alex a kiss on the cheek before leaving the sisters alone once again.
'I'm sorry.' Kara said quietly.
'I know.' Alex sighed, sitting down to give her sister a hug. 'I was just worried about you both.
