Reunion

Chapter 1
Things seemed even happier than they had before now that the Worldkillers were gone. The sun was brighter. The birds chirped louder. The hustle and bustle of the city had returned to normal. Along with it, the run of the mill things that needed heroes.
"I hate to say it but I'm bored," Winn said. They had just stopped a bank robbery and now it was getting late in the day near dinnertime.
"Hold your tongue. For a change, boring is nice," Mon-El shook his head.
"Yes, I will take a bank robbery over you know who any day," Kara told him.
"Well since we have so much time on our hands, does anyone know why J'onn wanted off today?" Alex spoke up. She'd been quietly contemplating for the last few minutes while the others talked.
"While odd that he take a day off, I didn't ask why. I figured he was probably just going to spend the day with his dad," Winn said. That seemed like something he would do, especially since they had lost so much time together. Kara secretly wished that her family had survived the destruction of Krypton back when the Martian was discovered. After dealing with Reign and her sisters, she began to wonder how she would react if she could see her father again.
"I suppose you're right," the redhead nodded.
"Is something bothering you?" Kara asked. She could tell that Alex wasn't her usual self.
"It's probably nothing. I just felt like he was distracted the last few days," her sister shrugged.
"I thought so too but I didn't want to say anything. You guys have known her far longer than I have," Mon-El said.
"The man runs a top secret government agency, his finds out his dad survived the war on Mars, and now he has to help him adjust to Earth, and we just stopped three crazy ladies who were trying to destroy the second planet he calls home. He's had a lot on his plate lately," Winn pointed out.
"Very true. He may be Martian but he's not that different than anyone when we get overwhelmed," Kara nodded.
"So am I ordering pizza or should I call James and see if we're going out Guardian'ing tonight?" Winn asked.
"I say, call it day. Meet up at the bar? I'm supposed to work the late shift," Mon-El suggested.
"Then I'll make a call," Winn smiled. He was about to pick up his cell phone when the computer in front of him started beeping.
"Trouble?" Kara asked. She hadn't heard anything with her super-hearing so she wondered what it was.
"We're picking up some sort of signal from out in space. It's too weak to get a clear signal though. I'm going to boost the satellites," Winn said. He hit a few buttons on his keyboard and the signal started to come in.
"It's a distress signal," Mon-El said. Kara just stood there. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"How can that be?" The blonde asked as the beeping repeated.
"We get distress signals on occasion. What makes this one so special?" It was obvious that Winn couldn't hear what she and Mon-El could hear.
"Inside the signal is a recording," Mon-El said. Winn quickly worked harder to boost the signal. He was straining the limits of the satellites.
"Who or what is it?" Alex wanted to know.
"It's Kryptonian," Kara couldn't believe it.
