A/N: This is set early in Season 2.
"Both of you, I want caution." J'onn warned over the radio. "If this is CADMUS we have to be careful."
"Always." Alex said.
"Relax boss, I won't let anyone hurt her." Kara said.
"And you?" J'onn asked.
"I'll be fine." Kara said as she landed at the scene along side J'onn. "Looks harmless enough."
"Looks can be deceiving." J'onn reminded her.
"Very apt words from you." A male voice said from the shadows. "A shapeshifting alien warning about deception, if you weren't so dangerous I would laugh."
"Who are you?" J'onn demanded.
"Humanity's saviour." The man said walking out of the shadows. "We will win as we have focus." He added as J'onn noticed cameras hidden round the scene.
"That's right Director J'onzz." The man said. "You two want to be on your best behaviour, else the American public, the global public will see you for the monsters that you are. Soon you will want to kill me, but if you do everyone will see the real you and we win."
"What do you want?" J'onn asked.
"Justice and salvation." The man said. "Director J'onzz you have been found guilty of crimes against humans and you are sentenced to death."
"Sentenced by who?" J'onn asked.
"CADMUS." The man said before firing something from the device in his hand. As the beam made contact with J'onn the Martian disappeared.
"J'onn!" Kara shouted.
As anger welled up inside of Kara she turned to the man and said. "What did you do?"
"Carried out his sentence." The man said.
"Why would you kill him?" Kara asked in disbelief.
"He is an alien. He deserves to die. You all do." He then smiled. "I can see the anger build in you. You want revenge. It really is win win for me. You want revenge, I want justice. How those ends come about is almost unimportant. But for you, would you like your last act to be standing there meekly, or an act of defiance, striking down the man who killed your friend?"
"I will not play your games." Kara said. Her hands in tight fists by her side.
"Very well, Supergirl, you have been found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death." He smiled aiming the device at Kara.
"Put the device down." Alex interrupted as she and several other Agents trained their guns on the man.
"Another traitor. We have plans for you." He said still aiming the device at Supergirl.
"Put it down." Alex repeated before shouting. "Supergirl go."
"Leave and the lovely Agent Danvers will be next." The man warned causing Kara to hesitate. The hesitation was enough time for the man to trigger the device as Alex opened fire on him.

"What happened?" Kara asked trying to stop the ringing in her ears. Looking round she saw Alex staring at her. Her face pale and her expression one of shock.
"Alex?" She asked climbing to her feet. "Alex, what's wrong?" She asked concerned when Alex didn't respond. Walking towards her sister she couldn't understand why Alex kept staring at the spot Kara had been.
"Alex?" Kara called again, relieved when Alex stood and looked straight at her. Relief quickly turned to concern when Alex walked up to her then through her.
"What the?" Kara asked as she turned and tried to reach out to Alex, only to find her hand passing straight through her sister's body. "Alex!" She called, but Alex just kept on walking. Getting more and more confused, Kara went and stood in front of one of the other Agents. But again, when the Agent moved they just walked straight through Kara. "That's really freaky." Kara called out to the Agent who remained oblivious.
"You should try watching it." J'onn said from a few feet away.
"J'onn? You're alive? You can see me?"
"I can." He said as Kara approached him and poked him, sighing with relief when she felt his solid chest.
"What the hell is going on?" Kara she asked.
"I don't know. I remember being shot then this." J'onn said.
"It's like we've been phase shifted."
"Phase shifted?" J'onn asked.
"Yeah, you know shifted from normal reality or dimension or time stream." Kara explained.
"I know what a phase shift is, but doesn't make sense." J'onn said. "I don't see how it could have happened or how we can see them but they can't see us. Why don't we sink through the ground? In fact why does gravity exist at all?"
"Don't know, but it works in Star Trek." Kara pointed out. "Oh wait, what if we jumped back in time slightly? They can't see us because you can't see back in time."
"You can't see forward in time either." J'onn pointed out.
"Minor issue." Kara said frowning.
"Wouldn't explain why we can't touch the rocks and buildings, but we can breathe and can walk on a ground." J'onn added.
"Some people are so picky." Kara grumbled as J'onn crouched down by the dead CADMUS operative.
"Damn it." He exclaimed.
"What?" Kara asked.
"If that device sent us here we could be in trouble."
Walking over to him Kara saw the device lying smouldering and in pieces. "Alex will figure it out."
