- Ok, ok baby it's ok, listen to me - Kara said agitated through the earphone while Lena could hear her - You're going to be ok, you're going to be ok Right? ...I'm going to be ok -
- Kara no, you won't turn this into a suicide mission - Lena expressed with a pleading voice - You can't love, everything will work out -
- Lena... I know I said I'd come back and I'm so sorry... but there's no other way - Kara Danvers took a deep breath - I don't have much time - She confessed, then fell silent for half a second - Lena I love you, today and forever -
- Don't say goodbye, don't do it... Kara don't you dare - She tried to sound threatening, but her eyes welled up with helpless tears - Kara...-
- Sister hey, you can't give up... keep fighting - It was Alex's broken and desperate voice - Kara don't give up, please -
- It's late, but I'll be fine, okay? - There was the clanging of a metallic sound.
- Kara there has to be another way! - Lena pounded on the DEO's central table - Please - There is no other way.
- There isn't, the world will be fine...but hey, hey honey, listen to me, I'm gonna be ok Lena...I love you with all my soul...- There was an icy silence - Alex - She called - tell mom that we won't make it to dinner together because of me this time right? tell her to forgive me, tell them that I love them... - The DEO director didn't say anything, but Kara knew she would - Alex... I need you to promise me something - She went hoarse as she could hear her sister's agitated breathing.
- Kara... I can't - She was crying, with one hand on her chest and one on her face.
-You have to promise me, please - The heroine asked - I want you to find love, I want you to be happy and I want you to have the life you deserve - Her voice was starting to become shaky.
-Kara... - Her sister pronounced as a plea.
- You have to promise Alex, there is no time - Alex looked at Lena shattered.
- I promise - She said as best she could while the lump in her throat became more painful.
- Well, I love you sister...- Alex could hear a low sob - And you, my sweet Lee...- Kara mentioned with wet eyes - The love of my life, I'm so sorry this happened...I'm so sorry, I wish we had more time - Kara was breathing more agitated - There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do to make you safe...I hope you can be happy okay? do it for me -
-Love...Don't ask me -
-Baby... -But there was nothing left to do.
- I love you - Lena whispered in a broken tone.
- I know my darling... Take care of each other, I love you both - She expressed, the communication was heard between cut off, but her determined voice could be distinguished.
- Kara don't leave me - Alex mentioned sobbing.
Then there was a beep and then nothingness.
- Kara! - They uttered in a choked cry, Alex and Lena watching the changing color in the sky. The communication had already been cut off.
Both women looked at each other in the perpetual silence of the room and then with nothing to say they embraced, giving each other a comfort that would never be enough.
