This chapter is mostly puns and should have been on the Superfriends Group Chat story, but I put angst into this and it perfectly fits the plot. It may get confusing since Oliver, Felicity, Lena, Kara, Alex, Maggie, Eliza, Thea, Laurel, and Sara are in this chapter. There are so many people, it's hard to count. 

Third Person POV

Alex's eyebrows dipped as she gave both of the other two women, Maggie and Lena, an accusatory pointed look straight to the eyes, shaking her head in disbelief.

Maggie took a step forward and reached for her betrothed's hands, only to be denied before she spoke, "Al, I-" 

Kara took Lena's hand, slightly squeezing to give her girlfriend the reassurance she knew Lena needed from her. Kara, leaning her head to the side to whisper into Lena's ear, "Lena, baby, Alex is just a little-lot... upset, but I'll talk sense into her, 'mkay?" Lena just nodded, feeling Kara press a kiss to her temple gently.

Alex just shook her head before speaking, her voice straining as she held back tears, "I wake up from a seven-week coma, and the first thing you guys do is lie to me for six days and not let me worry about my baby sister?" 

Lena started to speak, "I'm sorry, Alex... I didn't think that you needed the stress, prior to being in a coma..." Maggie nodded, agreeing with Lena.

"You don't know what is going on! You don't even know the half of it!" Alex suddenly shouted. Maggie and Lena shared a look.

Kara gritted her teeth, "Alex, that is enough." Her voice wasn't the soothing, calming, voice Lena had grown accustomed to. No. It was angry, almost defensive. 

Kara took a deep, quivery breath before speaking in a hushed tone, "Lena, Maggie, could you give us a minute?" She wasn't looking at either of them, but rather her sister, a fiery, angry look in her eyes. Lena looked Maggie in the eyes from across the room, a look of confirmation in her eyes as the shorter woman nodded, and they left the room, walking over to where Team Arrow was speaking.

Once left alone, Kara spoke, "You told me you wouldn't mention it, you said you wouldn't so as imply it. There are some things that need to be left untouched and unbothered." Alex sighed.

"Lena doesn't know?" the blonde's sister asked, looking for confirmation in her suspicions. Kara bit her lip, looking down at the ground, nodding.

Kara finally spoke after a moment, "How am I supposed to tell my girlfriend that I've tried taking my own life before?" Alex just sighed and sat back down next to her sister, pulling Kara in for a hug, the director's back pressed up against the wall as her sister silently cried into her shoulder.

Alex whispered, "Kar, shh. I'm right here. I'm right here, always will be," Once Kara had calmed down, the director asked her question, "What was the real reason why no one told me?" 

Kara gulped. Taking a moment to speak, in search of words, the heroine answered, "I told them not to. I- I didn't want to even imagine the look of disappointment you had on your face," Alex nodded.

"Were you being truthful when you said that no drugs were involved?" Alex questioned. Kara simply nodded.

"I believe you. Listen, I'm gonna go get you signed out, there is no way that you're staying here." 

Kara whispered a quiet 'Okay' before her sister pressed a kiss to her cheek, leaving the room, shutting the door. Alone, at last, Kara brought her knees up to her chest, sighing. The silence was disturbed only after just a minute.

Lena walked into the room, sitting where Alex had just occupied. Kara unexpectedly attached her lips to Lena's, her hands cupping the brunette's cheeks tenderly.
