Supergirl had tried her best to try and coax Jessica out of her apartment but of course failed. She had wanted the girl to come to the hall of Justice with her but she was to afraid. However because of the dead killer and the police work which needed to be done she also couldn't stay in her apartment at the moment.

"No! No one comes in" Jess locked her door as she heard the footsteps of at least two policemen, more were certainly on the way with a coroner and whoever else they'd need.

"Jessica, take a breath" Supergirl tried to place a hand on the girls shoulder but she jumped away at the slightest touch and fell on her ass. "Sorry! Look, the police need to do their jobs okay? They won't hurt you, I'll hurt them first if they even try. I promise"

"No!" Jess shook her head as she looked to (y/n) who was looking stressed out but was holding it together better. "Can't you just do it?!" She asked Supergirl.

"I'm not qualified" the girl of steel replied as she gave Jess a sorry look. "And I- I don't want to touch a dead body"

Jess looked to (y/n) for help and they both jumped when they heard a knock on the door. "Police" a voice spoke from the other side.

"Look Jess" (y/n) grabbed the girls arm, startling her at first but she settled into it. "Go to the bathroom, lock yourself in. Wait everything out there"

Jess was silent for a moment before giving the boy a scared look. "Come with me?"

"Sure" he nodded before leading the girl to the bathroom as Supergirl opened the door.

—————————————————————

Luckily none of the police tried to come to the bathroom, Supergirl must have told them about Jess and her phobia.

After an hour or so Jess had fallen asleep in the bathtub while (y/n) continued to just sit on the floor facing her and the tub she was in.

An hour after that Supergirl's voice came from the other side of the door. "They're gone" she spoke softly but not to soft. "You can come out"

(Y/n) opened the door before picking up the sleeping girl from the tub and slinging her over his shoulder. It was much to easy as she was now so light. "Thanks"

"No problem" Supergirl nodded as she watched the two exit the room. She walked alongside them until they reached Jess' bedroom and (y/n) placed her in the bed. "I don't mean to pry but- is she- is she getting help for..." she motioned to the girl.

"Not yet" (y/n) replied causing Supergirls frown to deepen. "She won't even leave the house, as you've seen"

Supergirl was very quick to respond. "They have people who will come to the house, or even just do online appointments!"

(Y/n) considered this for a moment before shaking his head. "I'll try to get her to do that but I don't see that going well"

Supergirl nodded again with a frown. "Yeah. Yeah I get that but it's always worth trying"

"I know" (y/n) nodded as he sat down on Jess' bed beside her sleeping figure. "So any idea when someone who can help out with this will be on planet?" She asked as she motioned to Jess' newfound ring.

"No. We'll just have to wait and see" Supergirl replied with a frown.

—————————————————————

Supergirl had left soon after that, she had offered to take (y/n) home but he had elected to sleep on his friends couch so she wasn't alone when she woke up.

Around midnight they were both woken up. Jessica by pain and (y/n) by the screams coming from Jessica's bedroom. "Jess!" The boy quickly got off the couch and ran towards her door.

Jessica cried as once again the ring that was stuck to her finger seemed to feed on her fears, bringing them all to the surface as it did so. Her tear filled eyes were drawn to her friend as she noticed him entering the room.

After a minute of neither of them knowing what to do Jess stopped screaming, now wheezing and panting as the ring finally stopped feeding on her fear. "I can't take this!" She cried as she slowly sat up and stared down at her ring in fear. "Get me a knife" she spoke coldly.

"Woah. No way!" (y/n) quickly walked over to Jess and shook his head. "You're tired and not thinking straight"

"Get me a knife" Jess repeated as she tried to stand up but (y/n) put his hand on her thigh and made her continue sitting down. "Back off!" She growled, her new outfit made by the ring slowly appearing over her pajamas.

"Right, sorry" the boy pulled his hand away and held his hands up. "But no knives. Wake up a bit more, then make a decision"

The skinny girl rubbed her eyes, one of which was glowing once more. "I'm not going to cut my finger off, just the knife"

"One slip and it's your finger!" (Y/n) replied as he lowered his hands and crossed his arms. "And it supergirl couldn't get it off what makes you think a knife could?"

Jess frowned when she realized the boy was right. "You-" she growled as the ring started glowing a bright yellow. "I- it wants me to- to-" she growled louder as she hit the ring against the nightstand roughly. "No!"

(Y/n) sat down beside Jess and carefully put his hand out. She glanced at him and took it with her free hand while she smashed the ring into the table again. "What does it want you to do?"

"It wants me to hurt- to hurt people. To spread my fear" Jess growled at the ring again before biting it, trying to pull it off with her teeth, hoping saliva would work to loosen the hold it had on her.

(Y/n) squeezed the girls hand before she suddenly started screaming again through the biting of the ring. "It's- it's hurting me" she whimpered after a moment before falling into her friends side.
