I look over the charts Poison Ivy handed me then give them back to her when I'm done. Kara's vitals are stable and everything is in working order. In fact, she has a fit bill of health except for the fact of being in a coma.

"It has to be the cryogenic freeze. Something went wrong out in space and the machines were damaged. I've seen it before but usually the conclusion is death, not a coma," I say while looking over the EKG charts The Flash handed me. Most of the people working on Kara In-Ze are people who know my alter-ego, those who don't weren't brought into the room until Diana and I changed into our uniforms. It's not that I don't trust them to keep it a secret; I just don't trust they won't bother me outside of League duty.

"What were the causes of death?" growls out Bruce. I've always enjoyed his transformation from carefree Bruce Wayne to world-on-his-shoulders Batman; sadly, I've come to know Bruce's alter-ego is Bruce Wayne while Batman is the real Bruce.

"There's a small chip in a device placed at the base of the skull where it meets the spine. It's used to keep the brain active and fed. Think of it as a back-up in case the actual cryo-machine fails. For example, a young soldier was placed in a machine for six months. During a crystal storm, the machine failed but the device we affectionately named 'The Leech' was intact. His brain was fully active and in good shape but his body was all but destroyed. It took ten years just for him to get the use of his arms and face back."

"So it paralyzes them," comments Diana.

"Yes and no. The cryogenic freeze, at least the kind Krypton was testing, put your body at a temperature that actually freezes the molecules. Not only are you kept from aging but your body is completely still. If the machine malfunctions, your molecules go in a rage to put it mildly. I wasn't being trained in the field so I'm not completely up to par with the details but don't think of it as being paralyzed but your cells refusing to react."

Flash hands me another chart and finishes my thoughts. "When you're paralyzed, it's due to damage to the brain or spine. This sounds as if the muscles themselves are dead, unable to receive signal."

"Something like that," I say absent-mindedly. The chart I'm looking through displays Kara's brains signal. There's something odd. "Flash…" He stops talking and looks over at me. "How recent are these?"

"I printed them off five minutes after you arrived."

"See Batman, this is why the League needs iPads." I know Bruce well enough to know he's rolling his eyes on the inside. "Let me see what's going on now." The Flash zooms over to his station and pulls up the monitoring system tracking Kara's brain activity. "Do me a favor. Watch that while I talk to Kara. Make sure you keep track of the times when I talk and what the activity is during then." Flash nods while I walk over to the tank. I place my hand the same place I did earlier and lean my head against the glass; it's still cool to the touch.

"Kara, Kara can you hear me? It's me, your cousin Kara Zor-El. Our mothers were sisters." I look over at Flash and he motions for me to continue. I decide to try a different tactic; I start speaking to her in Kryptonian. "Kara In-Ze…I know you hear my voice. It is I, Kara Zor-El your cousin. I am sorry for what happened to you. I want you to know Kal-El and I will do all in our power to wake you. I promise."

"Supergirl, you need to see this." I move from the tank and look at the monitor. "See this area here? This is where you were talking to her in Kryptonian. Do you understand what this means?"

"She can hear me. This is good, if her brain is reacting like this then the The Leech wasn't completely damaged. But it will take a while for her brain to heal. It's still early in her recovery so it's too soon to tell how long it will take." I walk away from Flash and stand with Diana, Kal-El, and Bruce. "The signs are good now but like I told Flash, it's still too early to tell."

"What do we do until then?" asks Diana.

"We wait. The brain is a delicate piece of the body. For now, let's continue her treatment the way it's been going."

"Who said you were getting involved with this?" I hear the faint sound of Bruce under the serious Batman question.

"I figured I'm only here because Kal-El thought it was the right thing to do. Besides, my expertise in this science can be of use to you."

"You also need to consider the peace talks that are taking place next week," he says in retort.

"I've been playing the two-sided coin for a while Batman. I think I can handle this." A ghost of a smile plays on Bruce's lips but only I catch it.

"Very well." He's back in his Batman persona and walks away to speak with Flash.

"Kara. Why don't you and I go check in? We'll come back later tonight." As much as I don't want to leave, I know Diana is right.

"See you tonight Superman." Kal-El hugs me goodbye and I leave with Diana. On our way out, we change into our civvies.

It's an hour drive to the hotel and Di and I talk mostly about how our days went and what are plans are after the peace talks. "Steve and I are planning our one year dating anniversary. Or he's planning it and I'm dropping large hints," says Diana with a wink.

"That's sweet. I'm glad you two are working out."

"So am I. What about you and Wally? You two have been dating for seven months now. How are things going?" I sigh and lean my head against the seat.

"Fine, as fine as it'll ever be."

"Linda, what's wrong?" I take my glasses off and rub the bridge of my nose.

"Wally has been great, it's just…there's something missing Di. I love him, I know that. But deep in my heart I know Wally and I are not meant to be."

"How long have you been thinking like this?"

"After he and I celebrated our six month anniversary. He put so much effort into and it was beautiful but I can't keep stringing him along. He's a great guy and he did nothing wrong, but there is a woman out there that is willing to go the same direction he is and I'm not her." Diana turns left at the light.

"When are you planning to tell him?"

"Soon, probably after the peace talk." Di doesn't say anything after that. She pulls into the hotel's parking lot and we get out. After we check in as Yeomen Diana Prince and Daily Planet reporter Linda Lee-Danvers, we leave and come back as Wonder Woman and Supergirl. Immediately, we are swarmed by reporters asking us about what would take place these next few weeks. We answer with the usual "no comment" or "you will know when the talk is over" and a few other lines with a tad more detail to their names.

After we enter our room, the bell boy leaves us alone. I perform a thorough sweep of the room then head to the one we're staying in as our alter-egos. The UN arranged to have Yeomen Prince stay in the adjoining room so that Wonder Woman and Supergirl would always have someone to speak to for any need. Then there was the perk of me rooming with her which meant the Daily Planet didn't have to pay for such an expensive room.

I change out of my uniform and relax on the bed. She lies on the bed with me but stays in her Wonder Woman outfit, sans the boots and cape she usually wears when in diplomat mode. I was wearing a traditional white uniform the politicians on Krypton would wear; a long tunic-like design with a golden headband that symbolizes my authority.

It felt odd wearing it the first time around but now I've been doing my duty as an alien diplomat for almost three years. It's more like a second skin to me, similar to my more colorful uniform. Right now, I'm in a plain white t-shirt and black sweatpants; I try to avoid wearing socks whenever I can. I wiggle my toes while lying on the bed and search for a movie to watch. With no one meeting us until 7:00 pm, Di and I have time to kill.

Meanwhile, back in Gotham city…

Kate Kane plops down on the couch and flips on the television. Her cousin Bette is in the kitchen getting the popcorn ready. While Kate is changing the channels looking for the movie Bette said would "knock her panties off," she pauses on the news channel. PGN is broadcasting a segment having to do with the peace talks between Qurac and Bialya in Washington D.C.

Footage is being shown of Wonder Woman and Supergirl entering the hotel. They don't speak much and when they do it's usually a "no comment" or something similar. Kate remembers meeting Wonder Woman when she was patrolling as Batwoman years ago. It was one of the most intimidating and exhilarating moments of her life. Who wouldn't want to meet an Amazonian princess from an island of all women?

"She's grown into quite the woman, hasn't she?" says Bette while placing the popcorn bowl on the coffee table and sitting down next to her cousin. "Supergirl I mean. She's grown from this slightly awkward yet powerful teenager to this beautiful and even more powerful woman, don't you think?" Kate gives Supergirl a once over then changes the channel again in search for the movie.

"I guess."
