15Author's Note: So this is my first supergirl fan fiction. I had originally watched the show when it was on CBS, and started to watch it on the CW during the second season, but ended up not liking some changes so I dropped it. This past summer I got back into the show, and really enjoy it. I'm kind of happy I waited after the whole Mon-el situation, because I would have been even more pissed if I had watched it on air. I really did end up enjoying the pair. Anyways, I hope you like the story. I have two other stories I'm currently writing for for Supergirl as well. Also, I have no Beta, so sorry for any mistakes.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Supergirl or any of its characters.
2 and a half months, 11 and a half weeks, 81 days, 1944 hours, 116640 minutes, and 6998400 seconds. That's how long its been since Alex felt as if someone plunged their hand into her chest, tearing her heart out and squeezing just enough to make the pain radiate through her from head to toe, but not enough to kill her; not enough to put an end to the misery she had to swim in for the past, how long has it been since she last counted? Oh, eighty two days now.
Eighty two days since Supergirl, since her sister and best friend Kara, disappeared into thin air. Eighty two days since she went on a mission, and never came back.
It was supposed to be simple too, just survey an area where they thought a rogue alien was hiding out who had been causing trouble around the city. Alex suggested asking J'onn for assistance, but Kara smiled and shrugged her shoulders saying this was just like old times, nothing she hasn't done a million times by herself. That didn't exactly help ease her worry of Kara going somewhere alone, but she trusted her sister's judgement. After all, she always had contact with Kara—including the tracking device they put in her after she started working for the DEO.
She could hear Kara laugh as she flew to her destination, the wind blowing her cape and hair making her feel as carefree as always. Alex had smiled, her sister appreciates all the little things in life; the things most people are too busy to see.
Kara landed, and Alex could hear her breath hitch. She knew something wasn't right. "Kara, what's wrong?"
"Alex, it's not—"
That was all her sister got to say before her comm cut off, the tracking device being immediately deactivated. Alex wasted no time contacting J'onn for assistance, who was already rushing out the door when he heard something had happened to Kara. Alex met him at the factory, but it was exactly as it had been for years, abandoned. J'onn already searched the entire building, including the surrounding wooded area, but couldn't find any sign as to what happened to Kara. Alex didn't care though, she searched for hours again. Searched until J'onn threatened to fly her back home without her consent.
There really was nothing, though. There was no sign of anything that shouldn't have been in the abandoned factory, no fingerprints, no footprints, and no tire tracks. However, an agent had found a single syringe filled with Kryptonite on the last five minutes of the search thrown into a bush near the front of the woods. The only thing that told them though was Kara had been taken against her will.
Alex began tracking everything related to Kara. If someone even whispered Supergirl's name, she wanted to hear about it. With no real evidence to even know where to begin, Brainy suggested they try using a system where if Supergirl was mentioned anywhere, whether it be a phone call or text, the DEO would be alerted about it. Alex was willing to try anything, but after Brainy set everything up and alerts started coming in, Alex never realized just how much people text or tweet about Supergirl; bad and good stuff, nothing though that would look like the person might have an idea of where Kara is.
Alex even goes to the Alien Bar every night, keeping her ears out for anyone speaking about her sister. Nothing came of that either.
Eighty four days of living like that. It wasn't easy, but Alex couldn't give up on Kara. She knew her sister was out there somewhere. She would know, she would have this feeling of doom in the pit of her stomach if Kara was dead. Alex didn't even want to think of that possibility.
Alex sat upright, quickly jolted out of her sleep. Darkness still engulfed her apartment, so it was still night time. Had she gotten any sleep? She checked her phone which read 2:36 AM, August 25th. Today marked the eighty fifth day without her sister. Alex rubbed her eyes, laying back down, when she heard a loud bang at the door. That must have been what caused her to startle awake.
Sighing, she removed her covers and headed towards her front door not in the mood to socialize with anyone this early in the morning. You can say she was surprised to find Brainy on the other end. "Brainy? What are you doing here so early?" He gave her a look that made the tiredness she felt evaporate immediately.
"Yes, well this is urgent. I told you I would stay later to keep going through the texts and phone calls to see if anything popped out. Well, I found this." Brainy held up small futuristic device, displaying the tweet for Alex to read. "It's funny, I thought life without Supergirl would be easier...more carefree. As I've sat here for the past two months of Supergirl's sudden disappearance, I realize that it's not Supergirl who has plagued this city, it's the technology we use. I've watched for years as the advancement of technology has destroyed families, not supergirl. I had listened to the Children Of Liberty, let them control me into thinking it was aliens that needed to be taken down. I realize my mistake now. Supergirl is not the enemy, is no longer the threat I thought her to be a few months ago, no alien is. It is the very phones we use that are. The people behind all the advancements, those people are the enemy. I know the truth, and soon everyone will too."
"His name is Ronnie Walters."
Alex didn't need anymore convincing that this guy knew something about what happened to Kara. She threw on a coat and some shoes, not bothering to change out of her Pajamas. "Let's go."
"Right now?" Alex rolled her eyes. "I said let's go didn't I."
"I don't think going alone in the middle of the night is a good idea. You should wait for J'onn."
"I'm not waiting a few more hours for J'onn when we have a lead right now, and besides I'm not alone. You're coming too." Alex didn't leave room for any more argument as she grabbed her keys and walked out her door, Brainy following behind her.
