I give you...the next chapter! I hope you enjoy and thank you all again for reading.

I should note, Kara and Mon-El are not in a relationship in this fic.

As Kara flew she tried to control the emotions she was feeling from holding Lena so close. As soon as Kara's feet had left the ground, Lena had tucked her head under Kara's chin and turned into her shoulder so as to block her eyes from the view. Kara had felt her heart drop as she remembered how much Lena was afraid of flying.

"Hey, you ok?" she asked softly.

Lena just nodded into Kara's chest.

"I'm sorry, I hate to admit it, but I had forgotten you're afraid of flying. You could have said something! We didn't have to fly," Kara said, tightening her grip slightly hoping to provide some level of comfort and safety.

"It's ok. Flying is faster," Lena responded, nuzzling into the crook of Kara's neck, her only solace knowing that Kara would do anything to protect her.

Soon they landed outside the DEO. Kara carefully place Lena on the ground next to her. Lena straightened her hair and clothes before correcting her posture and slipping back into powerful CEO mode. She didn't know anything about this place, but she figured it was safe to assume they'd respect a confident woman over a nervous looking girl. When Lena was ready, Kara and her strode into the DEO building together.

Winn was the first to see them, he scurried up next to Kara and said, "Ummm, Supergirl?"

Kara looked at Winn and answered, "It's ok Winn, she knows."

"Oh, uhhh, ok. You know J'onn...err uhhh...Hank probably isn't going to be too happy about this."

"Hank will have to deal with it, she's helping us save Alex again," Kara said sternly.

Winn just nodded, then smiled and waved at Lena before returning to his desk.

Kara and Lena went to find Maggie is Alex's exam room. Alex was still unconscious, but Maggie was sitting there holding her hand and whispering in her ear. Maggie's voice was too soft for Lena to hear, but Kara caught every word.

"You're going to be ok babe, we're going to take care of you. Everyone here is working to find a way to make you better. Even Lena is helping again. I have a feeling you'll have a lot to catch up on with that once you're better. You just have to keep holding on. Remember, I love you. I love you so much I don't known what I would do without you. And I miss you, so very much. Please hold on for me...please…"

Kara cleared her throat as she approached the room. Maggie looked up and quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Any news?" Kara asked.

Maggie shook her head, "They're still waiting on results of the DNA tests."

"This might help speed things up," Lena offered, stepping forward.

Maggie cocked an eyebrow at Kara before taking the device from Lena to look at.

"Thank you. I can't even express how grateful we are for your help."

"It's the least I could do," Lena said. "I'm so sorry you all are going through this. Especially right after getting her back…"

"It's a hazard of the job I guess," Maggie said, shrugging. "So, how does this thing work?"

"We just need a drop of blood, the device will analyze it for any specific markers that will indicate alien origin. It will then use a database of planets to help narrow down the viral or bacterial source," Lena explained.

Before anyone could do anything, J'onn walked into the room.

"Supergirl, can I talk to you in private?" he said in his deep, stern voice.

Lena locked eyes with Kara and Kara nodded to her, trying to reassure her that she'll handle whatever it was J'onn was about to say.

As soon as Kara and J'onn were out of earshot, J'onn whipped around to look at Kara.

"What were you thinking bringing her here?" he growled.

"I was thinking that she helped save my sister once before and now she's helping again."

"She can help from a distance. This place is secret for a reason, just like your identity. Which you're putting at great risk by bringing her here might I add."

"She's not going to tell anyone about us. And she figured out my identity already."

"Kara, her mother is the head of CADMUS. Do you really think we should trust her? Letting her figure out who you are was a huge tactical error."

"I didn't let her figure out anything. She just knows me that well. And I think she's proven enough times that she does not support CADMUS. We're stronger with her on our side."

J'onn seemed to be battling with his own thoughts. He groaned before saying, "Fine, but she's your responsibility," stabbing his finger in Kara's general direction

"I would expect nothing less," Kara responded.

"Good, now how can she help Alex?" J'onn asked, his demeanor relaxing slightly.

"She has a device that could get us closer to a diagnosis."

"What do you need us to do?"

"I just need the doctor to come get a small sample of her blood for the device."

J'onn nodded and walked away to find the doctor. Kara returned to Alex's room.

"Everything alright?" Maggie asked. Lenna looked at Kara questioningly.

"Yeah, everything is fine," Kara said. "He's just gone to get the doctor."

As soon as the doctor arrived, Lena began explaining to him how her device worked. Kara couldn't help but watch how animated Lena got when discussing something scientific. Even then, when her thoughts were mostly occupied by her sister and her sister's wellbeing, she couldn't help but to stand in awe at this beautifully intelligent and passionate woman.

The doctor took the device and observed it. It was a small silver and grey rounded object. Where the fingerprint scanner once was, there was a concave detector where a blood sample could rest. A tiny flap closed this section off from the air. The lid doubled as an LED screen which would display the planet of origin if the detected DNA was alien.

"This is truly impressive Miss. Luthor. I've never seen anything quite like it, very innovative."

"Thank you Dr. Warren."

"Shall we?" the doctor said, gesturing to Alex.

Lena nodded. The doctor handed the device back to her as he prepared Alex's arm to collect the blood sample. Lena stood, holding the device out steadily as the doctor placed a small droplet of blood from his sample onto the detector. Lena closed the lid and they waited. The device lit up while planet names flickered across the screen. Finally, the screen flashed red and displayed a single planet: Daxam.
