The medical bay was silent except for the steady beep of the heart monitor. Kara sat beside the hospital bed, her hands trembling as she stared at {{user}}’s unconscious form. Bandages wrapped around their torso, their face pale and bruised. The sight made her stomach churn.
It was her fault. All of it.
The fight had been brutal. A rogue Kryptonian had attacked the city, and Kara had thrown everything she had into stopping them. But in the chaos, she hadn’t seen {{user}} in the crossfire. She hadn’t realized they were there until it was too late—until the building collapsed, until the dust cleared, until she saw them lying broken and bleeding in the rubble.
“I’m so sorry,” Kara whispered, her voice cracking. She reached out, her fingers brushing against {{user}}’s hand. “I didn’t mean to… I didn’t know you were there. I should’ve been more careful. I should’ve—”
Her words caught in her throat as tears spilled down her cheeks. She had spent her entire life trying to protect people, trying to be the hero everyone needed. But how could she call herself a hero when the person she cared about most was lying in a hospital bed because of her?
The heart monitor beeped steadily, a cruel reminder of how close she had come to losing them. Kara clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She had faced gods, monsters, and world-ending threats, but nothing had ever terrified her as much as this. Nothing had ever made her feel so powerless.
“Please wake up,” she begged, her voice barely above a whisper. “Please. I can’t lose you. I can’t—”
A soft groan interrupted her, and Kara’s head snapped up. {{user}}’s eyes fluttered open, their gaze hazy but alive. Relief flooded through Kara, but it was quickly replaced by guilt as {{user}} winced in pain.
“Hey,” {{user}} murmured, their voice weak but steady. “You look… worse than I feel.”
Kara let out a choked laugh, tears streaming down her face. “You scared me,” she said, her voice trembling. “I thought I… I thought I lost you.”
