Winn got a message from J'onn: Mr. Schott, please come to the conference room.

With a little confusion, he left his console and went to the conference room they usually used. In it, he found, besides J'onn, Kara and Alex, a tall, slim man he did not recognize.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Schott." J'onn said.

"What's going on?" he asked, eyeing the stranger who was staring at him.

Kara spoke, "Winn, this is Ray. He's from Earth 1, but he's been living and working on Earth X."

"With General Schott." Ray said.

Ah Winn thought, no wonder he's staring at me.

"He has a favor to ask you."

"Which you are under no obligation to do." J'onn said sternly.

Winn glanced between his friends, then asked. "What's the favor?"

Ray spoke. "General Schott, the leader of the Freedom Fighters, has contracted a disease. It's rare, but curable. But it's going to require several weeks of treatment. During that time he's not going to be able to do his work as our leader. We're at a crucial moment. Killing the Fuhrer and his wife helped, but there are others eager to take his place. We need to keep hitting them hard.

"But without the general there, our people will lose focus. Mr. Schott, we need you to be the general for a few weeks."

"What? I'm not a general. I don't know anything about leading the resistance. I'm a tech guy. A nerd."

"You wouldn't have to do anything but be present. Leo and I know the plans. We've worked closely with General Schott and he's laying out a plan for the next part of our campaign."

"Winn, Leo and Ray helped to save my life." Kara told him.

"That still doesn't obligate him to do this." J'onn repeated.

"He won't get the treatment if you don't." Ray said. "He won't leave the mission. And he'll probably die."

"That's not fair." Alex said. "It's wrong to lay that kind of guilt on him."

"Winn, what are you thinking?" Kara asked.

"I don't know. But I think my wife should be here. This affects her too."

Alex quickly texted Sam, who entered the room a few seconds later.

"What's wrong?" she asked, going to Winn.

"This is your wife?" Ray asked.

"Yes, why?"

He shook his head. "Nothing."

Kara and Alex brought Sam up to speed on Ray's proposal. She spoke to Winn. "Do you want to do this?"

"I'm not sure. That's why I wanted your input.'

She looked at Ray. "How dangerous is it for him?"

"I can't say there's no danger, but the general spends most of his time at command, directing everyone. I don't foresee any instances where he would be required to fight. And I would be right beside him throughout this."

Sam nodded. "Would you mind leaving the room? I think we should talk about this without you."

Ray hesitated, then left.

"I repeat," J'onn said, "You are under no obligation to do this."

"Why don't you want him to go?" Sam asked.

"He's my agent. While their cause may be noble, he belongs to this world, not that one. And the man he'd be helping was not willing to help Supergirl."

"He did, ultimately." Kara said.

"No, Ray did. He convinced the general to give us an hour. But General Schott launched the weapon before the hour was up." Alex told her.

"Okay, so Ray did. It's Ray who's asking for our help."

Winn watched this exchange, but Sam watched him.

"Honey, what are you thinking?"

He took a deep breath. "I realize I may sound like a power hungry idiot, but there's something satisfying about the thought of killing Nazis. And about being in charge of that.

"And I know I don't have to, but Ray did help save Kara and I do owe him for that. Cutting out my best friend's heart would not have been good."

"So…?" Kara asked.

"So, my final thing, Sam, are you okay with me doing this?"

"Winn, you're a grown man. I'm your wife, not your parent. If you need to do this, I support you."

He nodded. "So, yes, I'll do it."

Alex went out and brought Ray back into the room.

"My answer is yes." Winn told him.

"Thank you!"

J'onn spoke up. "I have some conditions. One, you are beside him protecting him the entire time."

Ray nodded.

"Two, General Schott spends his convalescence here."

"Why?" Ray asked.

"I want to keep track of his progress and to be sure nothing is amiss."

"I told you—"

"Humor me. Because I will not allow my man to do this unless you do."

"Fine." Ray said, then to Winn, "How quickly can you grow a beard?"
