Chapter 93 - The Search For Kara

"Lena?" A voice says.

Lena only sees blackness, but hears the voice, which she recognises.

"Lena?" The voice calls out again.

Lena slowly begins to open her eyes, and she sees light again. Lena's vision is blurred, but she makes out the silhouette of woman looking down at her.

"Kara?" Lena calls out.

"No, Lena, it's me." The voice says again.

Lena then blinks a few times, and her vision clears, revealing to the brunette that it is Alex leaning over her, not Kara. Lena is, of course, immediately disappointed.

"What... what happened?" Lena asks, confused, not really remembering how she got like this.

Alex gives Lena a sympathetic look, and then turns and look up at J'onn, who has been standing there by Alex's side.

"J'onn, can you please take Lena to the medical bay. I need to speak with Winn, and make a phone call." Alex says. "Of course." J'onn replies in a tone that confuses Lena.

Alex then stands up, and J'onn then crouches down next to Lena. "I'm going to pick you up now. Okay?" J'onn says.

Lena nods her head in response.

J'onn takes Lena into his arms, and walks with her towards the medical bay. As soon as Lena is out of sight, Alex takes out her phone and rings Sam.

"Hey, babe." Sam replies, with a smile in her voice.

"S...sam..." Alex says, tears now running down her own face.

"Alex?" Sam quickly replies, worried. "What's wrong?"

"It's..... Kara.... Lex..... has her." Alex explains.

"Wh... how?" Sam asks, confused.

"There.... was a prison break out...... in Metropolis prison..... Kara went..... but it was .... a trap.... She's now missing.... and so is Lex." Alex explains.

"Oh my god, Alex!" Sam says, "Where are you now? Do you need me?" Sam says.

"I.... I do..... but..... I was calling..... because Lena needs you more...." Alex explains.

"Oh..." Sam says, in realisation, knowing that Lena will 100% be taking this horribly.

"After J'onn came back...... and told us that Kara was missing..... Lena collapsed.... and passed out....... When she just woke up.... a few minutes later..... she seemed to be a bit confused.... I.... I need you to come help..... I don't know what to do..." Alex admits.

"Of course. I will be right there." Sam replies, "Where are you?"

"At the DEO. Do you remember where it is?" Alex replies. "Yes. I'll be there in 10 minutes." Sam says. "Okay, thank you." Alex says, still in a sad tone. "And, Alex?" Sam says. "Yeah?" Alex replies.

"We will get her back. I just know we will." Sam says, attempting to try and lift her girlfriend's emotions.

"Hmmm.... I hope so." Alex hums.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Sam replies, accepting she isn't going to get much more out of Alex right now.

"Kay... bye..." Alex says, and then ends the phone call.

Once Alex ends the phone call, she takes a deep breath to gather her emotions, before she then makes her way to the DEO hub, where Winn is currently seated, typing away.

"Winn?" Alex calls out, as she approaches.

"Yes?" Winn turns around in his chair, looking at Alex.

"Do you know?" Alex asks. "I could tell from you and Lena's reactions after J'onn arrived." Winn says, "Is Lena okay?"

"I don't know.... she's obviously devastated.... I'm guessing once she heard the news.... she got overwhelmed with emotions.... and passed out from a form of panic attack." Alex explains, "But I called Sam, so hopefully she will be here to help Lena in a bit."

"That's good." Winn nods.

"So, I'm over here, as I need to know...... Is there anything you have, anything at all, that we may be able to figure out where Lex is, and where Kara is?" Alex asks, desperate for some sort of information or lead to find her sister.

Winn glances back to his computer and sighs. "I have been going through satellite imagery, looking at heat signatures during the prison escape.... As well as other readings.... But it's not meant to be that accurate... There were far too many people in the area to be able to lock in on a specific person." Winn explains. "What about some sort of reading for something.... As there is no way Lex was able to capture Kara without somehow using Kryptonite, or something else that could weaken her?" Alex asks.

Winn sighs again.

"I can't track for Kryptonite using a satellite. We'd have to have someone taking readings for Kryptonite at the prison." Winn explains.

Alex nods her head.

"Okay, get on that. Arrange for someone to take Kryptonite readings ASAP." Alex says. "Sure." Winn says, nodding his head.

Alex then makes a step to walk away. "Alex?" Winn calls out.

Alex stops in place and then turns back around to look at Winn. "Yes?" Alex replies.

"How are you doing?" Winn asks, with sympathy on his face.

"Fine. Just help me find my sister." Alex says, not letting any of her emotions show right now.

"Okay...." Winn replies in a tone that shows that he clearly knows Alex is hiding her emotions from him.

Alex walks away from the DEO hub, and then heads for the medical bay. A few moments later, Alex arrives, and Lena is lying down on one of the beds, with J'onn standing over her.

"How are you doing Lena?" Alex asks, as she approaches the bed.

"I.... I...." Lena stammers. "I think she's in shock." J'onn replies.

Alex nods her head at J'onn, and then gives him a look which silently tells him to leave. In response, J'onn nods his head, and then exits the medical room, leaving Lena and Alex alone.

"Lena?" Alex says, softly, as she takes a seat right by Lena's bedside.

Lena looks over at Alex, still with a confused expression on her face.

"Lena, I need you to just focus on my voice okay. And take some deep breathes." Alex says, in a soft tone. "In.... and out...... in..... and out...."

As Alex guides her, Lena takes deep breaths in, and out, the breathing exercise calming herself. After a few minutes of doing this, Lena feels her heart rate return to normal, and feels like she has more of a focus on the world.

"Wha... what happened?" Lena asks, as the fog slowly begins to clear from her brain.

"I think you had a panic attack, Lena." Alex explains, with a sympathetic look on her face.
