Willow Greene // Supergirl //

//Book 4// ~ Willow Week - Breaking and Entering

3rd Person POV

The moment that Marvin opened the door to let Kara and the others into the apartment, Kara had made a beeline for Willow's bedroom where the green-eyed girl was laying on top of her covers looking in bad shape

When Kara saw Willow's beaten body, her heart stopped and her cheeks heated up with anger. She could feel her frozen heart burning in her chest. She wanted to run to Willow but, like her heart, her feet were frozen and would not move 

Alex rushes past Kara, rushing over to Willow and immediately checking her vitals. Alex and Marvin talk about what Marvin had already done to help Willow, what her condition currently was, and about next steps 

J'onn stays back as M'Gann and Kelly also rush forwards to where Willow is laying on the bed, listening in on the conversation between Alex and Marvin. J'onn stands about two feet behind Kara, watching her 

And Kara? Well, the Girl of Steel was not paying attention to a single word that was being said. She physically couldn't hear anything that was being said. Her ears ring with anger and pain as her eyes remain glued on Willow's body on the bed 

And then, all of a sudden, a hand lays gently on Kara's shoulder. And as if it was a trigger, the girl is brought back into the present reality. She unclenches her jaw and her fists. "I'm gonna kill him." She declares. And with that strong declaration, the entire room goes still and silent, looking over at the Girl of Steel...

There was barely time for anyone to react to Kara's declaration about killing Rama Khan. The second the four words came from her mouth, J'onn had grabbed her hand and pulled her from the room, from the apartment, and out into the hallway 

"J'onn, let go of me." Kara tells him through her teeth, trying to free herself from his tight grasp on her wrist

J'onn says nothing. Instead, he opens the door to the stairwell in the hallway and leads Kara up the stairs and to the roof. He closes the door to the roof and turns towards Kara, finally letting go of her wrist 

"What are we doing up here?" Kara questions 

"We need to talk." J'onn tells her 

"I don't want to talk!" Kara shouts. "Willow is dying downstairs and we know who is responsible."

"So you kill Rama Khan, then what?" J'onn asks. "You go about your day? You kill this man and everyone will know, everyone will be against you, and there will be no hope of restoring your name or your image."

"I don't care about my image!" Kara shouts

"Killing is never the answer. Ever!" J'onn says the word powerfully through his teeth, growling

"This is different." Kara tells him

"Like hell it is." J'onn shoots back at her with a scoff. "How many bad guys have we gone up against?" He asks her rhetorically, giving a pause. "And how many have we killed?" He asks, pausing again and Kara is silent at the rhetorical question. "We don't kill."

"Willow is dying!" Kara exclaims 

"I know." J'onn says and with those two simple words, Kara slowly lowers to the ground with tears in her eyes. "I know she's dying and I know you love her." He says, sitting next to her on the ground. He puts a comforting hand on her back. "I know that it would be easier just to go after Rama Khan... but you and I both know that you are not a killer." He tells her in a whisper. "And you never will be." And with that, it's silent

"Hey, sorry, I don't mean to interrupt..." Kelly says, opening the door to the roof and looking over to where Kara and J'onn are sitting. "You might wanna come downstairs."
