3rd Person POV

The room shakes and an alarm goes off through the DEO

"What was that?" Willow asks. Supergirl grabs the tablet from the side tablet and opens up scans of the city. She looks at Willow with wide eyes. "Kara, what is it?"

"The city is under attack." Supergirl answers. The room shakes violently and Supergirl stumbles. Willow sits up straight, ready to throw her telekinesis out to catch Supergirl but the Girl of Steel was able to stay upright. "I have to go." She breathes

"I'm coming." Willow says, throwing her legs over the side of her bed with a slight groan. Now that the blanket was off of Willow, both girls could notice Willow's vibrant green veins under her pale skin and a spiderweb of green creeping up her neck

"No, you need to stay there." Supergirl tells her

"I need to be out there." Willow says

"I can protect the city." Supergirl says

"But who's going to protect you?" Willow questions

"I have a team." Supergirl tells her

"And I'm on it." Willow tells her. "Kinda. I'm like a solo backup bodyguard squad." She says to which Supergirl gives a small smile. "I'm your protection."

"You need to rest." Supergirl tells her

"But--" Willow tries

"I mean it." Supergirl says. "Please, Will, just stay here and rest." She says to which Willow smiles slightly at the nickname. "We can handle this. Your focus should be on getting better."

Supergirl and Alura use their ice breath to freeze over a large wave that was heading straight for the city

They hover in the air having just finished. "You're all clear, kid." Supergirl tells Brainy through the comms. "Now let's blow this thing and go home."

"I assume that's some sort of film reference." Brainy says

"We never showed you Star Wars?" Supergirl asks, shocked. "Not a single Star War?"

Brainy uses the spaceship to blow apart the ice wave. In blowing it apart, giant ice shards and blocks are thrown through the sky. One hurls straight towards Supergirl, whose focus was on the city instead of the ice wave that was being demolished behind her

Luckily though, someone had her back. Green wisps envelope around Supergirl's body, wrapping her in a forcefield. As the ice chunks hit the forcefield, they shatter and green wisps throw the shards into the ocean below

Supergirl looks over to see Willow standing on the dock, her black mask over her face to conceal her identity and her loosely curled brown hair in a messy ponytail

Willow's wisps pull Supergirl over to the dock, Alura flying close behind, and Supergirl lands next to Willow. Willow stumbles slightly having used a lot of energy, coughing a bit

"I thought I told you to stay in the medbay." Supergirl says

"I should have mentioned." Willow says, leaning against the railing out of breath as more green webs spread around her body, the green lines stopping just above her jawline under her lip. "I don't actually take orders from you."

"You're not supposed to be here right now." Supergirl says

"Bet you're glad I am." Willow says. "Those ice shards would have beat you into the ocean."

"I'm indestructible." Supergirl counters

"That means nothing if you're unconscious." Willow counters. "Besides, don't be mad, I just saved your life." She says, straightening up. "Come on, we have a city to save." She says turning to the city that was rumbling
