Lena took Ruby to school. They stopped at the store to buy a strap for her glasses.
"Lena, do you think my mom is going to ever come home," Ruby asked
"Someday, sweetheart." The C.E.O. replied.
At school, Ruby had a good day. She felt like a normal girl. In gym class, the "fit test" was given. Ruby was paired with Erica Huff. The fit test was six stations, each lasted two minutes. Couch Score, would blow her whistle every minute and yell ether yell switch or move. Their first station was sit-ups. Erica did 97, while Ruby did 104. Next was jumping jacks. Ruby did 133 of those. Next came push-up Ruby did 97 clappers, on her toes. The fact Ruby clappers got her an extra 10 points. By the end of the class, Ruby was sweating profusely.

Alex and Kara had lunch together. Kara told Alex all about her fight with Reign. How she took her to the Fortress of Solitude. How she told both Lena and Ruby everything. How Ruby's heat-vision somehow slept Reign and Sam apart. How god showed up. How Sam destroyed the world-killers and their base.
"You told your secret to Lena Luther? Lena fucking Luther! KARA! Stop talking."
Sam was getting used to the test being run on her. She was tested, mind, body, and soul. Her powers were also tested. Fourteen days after the test began, all the doctors, that tested her said she was "safe." Sam didn't believe them.
