“First off, you really think you should be casually talking about the DEO and your association in public?” Even Kara didn’t do that, and the little slip about having Kara there, instead of Supergirl, well it had to have been the worry making her do that. Of course every single one of Lena’s resources would be available to help Kara, no matter what it was, but that was beside the point. She needed to still make sure Alex calmed down enough to not make stupid slips. After all, even if Alex didn’t trust, or even respect her, she did trust and respect Alex.
“Secondly Alexandra, no matter what is needed you can always bring Kara here for help, although I can’t help but wonder why Kara of all people is in the DEO hospital. Did she catch something from supergirl? Maybe finding a cure for her would also help you treat Kara?” It was kind of a way out, but she didn’t want to put Alex in an awkward position of admitting Kara was Supergirl to her, and frankly if she wanted to treat Kara here that would become extremely obvious to anyone who was working on her when they needed kryptonite just to be able to draw blood or make an injection.
“After all if the disease is alien in origin it would help to work on the origin to find the cure.”
Alex froze for a second, her eyes widening as though she was a deer caught in headlights, as she realised how badly she had slipped up. So worried about Kara, she was barely even thinking straight. Hardly anything mattered to her, other than helping her sister. She saw suddenly, why J’onn had ordered her not to communicate with Lena; assured her that he would secure her assistance. When it came to Kara, or anyone she cared for, Alex was dangerous. For Kara, she would jeopardise everything and anyone else in the blink of an eye.
“You’re right.” A look of confusion crossed Alex’s face as she wondered what had led Lena to her conclusion, but she decided it didn’t matter, as long as that conclusion allowed her to continue to conceal Supergirl’s identity. “I’ve been so focused on Kara. Finding a cure for Supergirl first never even crossed my mind.
