Kara POV
                          
After leaving Lena I flew around the city. I was so excited and completely hyper. I was doing all sorts of aerial stunts. The kids at the school loved it. It made my heart even more fuller. I finally had everything I was looking for. I had a home. With Lena. I fly to the deo. I land so softly. J'ohn looked over and smiled. 
"Kara what has you so happy? I've never seen you smile so much since you worked with super man." He asks with a grin. 
"No reason. I have a perfect girlfriend and my life is great." I say pulling the older man into a hug. He really was my space dad. 
"Alex isn't here if you want to go talk to him." He says softly. I know exactly who he is talking about. I take a deep breath and focus on on Lena's heart beat across the city. Thump. Thump. Thump. As strong and dependable as the woman who owns it. I sigh softly and walk down towards the cells. I reach my adopted father. He was still looking so angry. 
"What do you want?" He snarls.
"I want to help you. I want to be able to turn you back to who you truely are." I say simply. He didn't deserve kindness. But Lena is right as always. He isn't in control. I have to save him. Even if it hurts.
"You can't. If you try and tamper with me Alex dies. You don't want your sister to die do you?" He says with a touch of resentment in his voice. This isn't my fault.
"What do you want? To be saved or stay in here for ever?" I ask sternly. 
"I won't be here forever." He says with a smile. As soon as the words left his mouth the deo went black. Someone had cut the power. It was all over in thirty seconds. The power is back in and he is gone. I storm back into J'ohn. 
"He escaped." I snapped. This could only be bad news. Once everyone has rebooted the computers I ask them to sweep the city for any activity. I listen closely for Lena's heart beat, it's beating sort of fast. Then I can hear the sound that almost shatters me on the spot. I can hear a bullet being loaded into the barrel of a gun, near my Lena. I don't think twice I shoot out of the deo, poring on the speed. I need to hurry. I have to save her I can't lose her! I fly faster than I ever have before. I'm a few blocks away when I hear it. Bang. My heart stutters. I have to remember how to breathe. I quickly listen for her. Her heart is still beating strong and steady. Oh thank you rao! I pray slightly. I look around for a shooter across from Lena's office. I see a very familiar figure packing up quickly. I fly over and silently land behind her. She stand a up and turns around. I'm not happy.
"What did you think you were doing Alex?" I snarl. I look across the road at the scene in Lena's office. The is a body laying on the floor. I grab Alex by the wrists. I quickly fly her to the deo. I tell J'ohn what had happened. Alex was going to get locked up in the deo until further notice. I fly back to Lena's office. I land quickly. Lena heard me and come running into my arms. She looks so scared. 
"Babe what happened?" I ask softly. Jess was standing in the corner a look of shock on her face. I look over the body. Isn't that Morgan edge? 
"He came in to threaten me with your identity and our relationship. I honestly thought about throwing him off the roof for a second. But then all I hear is the glass shatter behind me and then he is dead on the ground." Lena says starting to sob. I gently run her back. That is when I notice the bullet hole in her top. Jess looks over. She must have seen what I saw. 
"I don't think who it was for once was after Morgan." Jess whispers. Lena tightens her hold on me. 
"Jess send everyone home, every one will get paid for the full day. Go home. I will take Lena home. I think she needs to process this all." I say on my typical super girl voice. Jess kids and leaves the room. Lena snuggles into my neck. I can feel her tears are slowly subsiding. I fly her home. Slowly. I didn't realise the effects of the bond would happen so quickly, but I am so glade they did. I was so close to losing my Lena. I didn't want to think what would have happened if she was still human.
