Willow Greene // Supergirl //

//Book 1// ~ Damage

3rd Person POV

"Dude, I'm fine now." Willow tells Marvin as she sits propped up against the back wall in bed with an IV in her arm. Marvin finishes drawing another sample of her green blood from her arm and registering the sample into the tablet

"Soldier, I am your supervisor as well as your commanding officer." Marvin reminds her, checking her vitals on the tablet once again. "You do not call me 'dude'."

"What are you checking for now?" Willow asks

"I am just checking over your vitals one more time to make sure you are okay." Marvin says, clicking through the tablet

"Aww, you care." Willow teases and Marvin rolls his eyes. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Marvin gives her a glare. "Sir." She adds

"You had a kryptonite explosion." Marvin tells her, sitting on the edge of her bed and turning the tablet around so she could see the a 3D model of her with green kryptonite energy exploding from her body

"Yeah, I think I got that part." Willow tells him

"Soldier, if I need to remind you again that formality is key to your position--" Marvin starts, pulling the tablet away

"Sorry, sir." Willow interrupts him. "Show me the stats again."

Marvin turns the tablet back so Willow could see

"We have never trained you to absorb the insane amounts of kryptonite you absorbed last week." Marvin tells her. "Nonetheless, Ops was very impressed with your dedication to protecting Supergirl. You have proven that you are dedicated to protecting the Girl of Steel. In return, Ops will loosen the hold they have over you."

Willow cracks a smile and leans over, hugging him

Marvin holds his hands tightly to his side, clearly uncomfortable by the hug and Willow pulls away

"We'll work on that." Willow tells him, patting his shoulder

"I don't see why we would when our relationship is strictly commanding officer and soldier." Marvin tells her, brushing her hand away from his shoulder

Willow rolls her eyes and smiles

"The thing is," Marvin starts and Willow listens, his voice serious. "Something is coming. You know it, I know it, Ops knows it. But Supergirl doesn't. We must protect her at all costs...but we must also stay hidden."

Willow nods

Marvin stands up and turns the tablet off. He carefully takes the IV out of Willow's arm and puts a bandaid on the area

"You're good." Marvin tells her. "I will let myself out."

Marvin grabs his medical supplies and starts towards the door

"Sir?" Willow calls and Marvin looks over to see her fiddling with the edge of her blanket. "That thing you said about me...about how I'm just a girl with powers?"

"It is true. Ops did not design you to be a hero but to protect Supergirl" Marvin says. Willow looks down, nodding slowly. Marvin sighs, putting his hand on the doorknob. "That being said, it is possible that I was out of line in the delivery of that news." Willow looks up at him. "You have powers and you are protecting Supergirl. Maybe...maybe you can be considered a hero."

Marvin quickly leaves, shutting the door behind him

Willow smiles before closing her eyes and resting her head against the wall

Then, there's a knock at the door

"Ugh." Willow groans, pulling her covers off and combing a hand through her hair as she made her way to the door
