After Kara left, Lena felt back asleep again. But shortly after she woke up because of a nightmare, so she decided to get up, eat something and take a shower.
Now standing in front of the mirror she stares at her scars, wounds and bruises. Tears start to fall down her check at the view of her body image. Her finger travels over the wound at her breast, caused through the bullet that nearly hit her heart.
He should have just killed me.
Shocked about that thought she stared at her face.
Tired. Broken. Weak.
The woman she remembered? Long gone. Now there is just this exhausted fragile figure.
Panic starts to rise inside her. Her body starts to shake.
What if he's still out there? What if he comes for me? To finish what he started?
Scared she tries to hide in the edge of the bathroom, pulling her legs to her chest and staring at the door.
I don't want to go through that again! Please no!
Lost in her mind she didn't notice that Kara came back.
"Lena, I'm back! I've got you some snacks! Lena?"
Where is she?
Worried she searched the apartment with her x-ray vision.
Oh Lena...
Quickly, she runs to the bathroom and opens the door.
But Lena couldn't see her. All she saw was the man that caused her pain for weeks.
"No! Please! Let me go!"
"Lena, it's me. It's Kara. You're safe."
"Let me go, please!," She begs to her imagination.
Carefully, Kara sits down in front of her. Fighting the fist that tried to push her away.
"Lena, calm down."
"No, leave me alone!"
"Lena stop!"
She takes her face between her hands, forces Lena to look her into her eyes.
"It's Kara, you're home. You're safe."
Lena blinks a few times till reality hit her.
"Kara..."
"Yes, everything is ok. I'm here."
Kara pulls her into her arms and strokes over her back.
"You gonna be ok."
They just sit there a while till Lena calmed down again.
Her head buried in Kara's neck and her hand clings tight to her shirt.
"Do you want to get up again?"
A little nod and Kara stand up again, taking Lena's hand to help her up.
With her other hand Lena holds the towel which covered her body.
"I'll wait outside ok?"
Scared, Lena clings to her hand, not wanting to let her go.
"Hay, it's ok. I'm just outside the door. I'm not leaving."
She let Kara go and leave the room.
I didn't know she has so many scars... and it's all my fault!
After she changed, Lena stepped out of the bathroom and joined Kara on the couch.
"Here, I got you some snacks."
