Summary
Set one month after Kara returns from the phantom zone. Kara is crumbling and Lena is there to catch her.

“But over the past month I even had trouble picking out your heartbeat. My mind has been so unfocused lately that I lost that source of comfort. I guess that’s another reason why I came here today. I just needed to be closer to your heartbeat.”
That confession made Lena’s heart ache. To hear that Kara had even cared enough to memorize the pattern of her heartbeat was already a lot to process, but the fact that audible proof of Lena being alive and well was what calmed Kara down was almost too much to handle.
Blinking away the wetness in her own eyes, Lena put Kara’s hand above the left side of her chest, pressing her palm right above her thumping heart. She figured that if listening to her heartbeat already calmed Kara down, actually feeling it might be even better for her.
Kara’s reaction was immediate. She sank lower into the mattress, seemingly being able to relax her body for the first time in weeks.
