Shape of My Heart

Inspired by: This post by @from-a-recklesswriter

A/N: The image below is how I imagined Kara being found in the tub, just without the background.

Other notes: AU. Angst with a happy ending.

TWs: Angst, death, murder

Kara and Lena had made up somewhat, and only after saving the world from Leviathan, Lex, did Ben Lockwood escape from prison and lace the air with Kryptonite again.

Nobody saw it coming, not even Lena Luthor. Superman had been lucky enough to get into a specialized room that contained two cells where Clark, Kara, and Jonathan would be safe. Unfortunately, Kara had been at home taking a relaxing bath when she suddenly couldn't breathe. She managed to grab her cellphone from the floor and call Alex before passing out.

It caused her to go into a coma and the sun lamps weren't helping, a day turned into weeks and weeks turned into months.

Eventually a year has gone by and Alex is the only one still holding onto hope strongly. She's been in here every day and had to be forced to get some sleep.

Maggie had shown up, completely worried, as well as Sam and Lucy.

Kara doesn't even realize she's in a coma at first until she hears Lena's voice. Talking to her at first, then reading a book.

Her heart has stopped once but that was because she hadn't been getting enough oxygen.

One day she could hear Lena's voice closer than usual. "It’s okay, Kara. you can let go now, I love you, i’ll always love you and i’m going to be fine. We’re all going to be fine. Rest now, my love.”

It was at that moment that her heart stopped beating, causing Alex to run into the room and panic trying to save her sister.

Begging and crying, clutching onto her as hard as she could. Lena had started crying, along with everyone else. Eliza had fallen to her knees at the sight of the heart moniter.

Alex had been crying for a half an hour when Maggie and Sam tried to pull her away.

"NO! NO! DON'T MAKE ME LEAVE HER! SHE'S NOT GONE!" It was a heartbreaking sight. J'onn was crying.

But then, as if a prayer was answered, a person in a protective armored suit appears and walks over to where Kara lay motionless, stuffing her hands full of decontaminated grass, and then covering a bed in it, moving Kara to lay on it. The person spoke and then watched, a bright golden glow appearing around the blonde.

Just as Lena started crying harder, the heart monitor beeps, causing everyone to hold a breath.

As Kara opens her eyes, an all too familiar voice is heard. "El Mayara."

"El Mayara." Kara responds.

Alex runs over to Kara and hugs her, an air purifier being set up in the room.

The armored individual turned to face Lena. "I know you poisoned the air with lead to stop a Daxamite invasion. I have something that will purify the air of Kryptonite, can you get it to work?"

"Of course I can." Lena says in a matter of fact voice.

It took a few hours, but when it was finished and turned on, Lena smiles and thanks the person that helped.

It was at this point the armor was removed and Lena was in shock.

"Hurt my niece again, and I'll kill you myself." It's firm and serious, leaving no room for being told to stop.

Non turns around and looks at Kara and Alex. "I didn't understand what you saw in this planet before, what made Astra change her mind...but I see it now." He tells Kara. He looks at Alex and clenches his fist. "I still haven't forgiven you for killing my wife. But it's a start, seeing as how much you care about my niece." Alex is a bit tense, but nods before thanking him.

Non offers a small smile before he starts to head for the door to leave the room.

"Uncle Non, where are you going?" Kara asks, looking at him.

"Don't worry, dear one. I still have one last battle to win, then I'll be back here." It's reassurance at it's finest.

Kara doesn't pry, but says okay. With that, Non left and found the person that dared to poison the air with Kryptonite.

Looming over the man's bed and looking at him with pure hatred, he does the one thing he vows to never do again unless absolutely necessary. He kills the person responsible. Making sure that he's dead before leaving the body and setting the building on fire.

"I brought back this ice cream you Humans talk about so much." Non says, holding five tubs of ice cream in his arms.

"Have you had pizza?" Kara asks.

"Pi what?"

"You have so much to learn, uncle Non."

"I have time to, dear one." A small smile before he's dragged away by Alex after setting the tubs of ice cream down. "You killed him didn't you?" Alex asks in a whisper. "I did." A confirmation. Kara doesn't have her superhearing back yet, but Maggie, Lucy, Lena, and J'onn all heard them, deciding that this one time, it was completely okay to kill someone.
