"Winn." Alex called approaching him at the DEO.

"Finally." Winn exhaled relieved when he heard her voice behind him.

"I know I always go on about how cool it would be to be in charge, but this is impossible." Winn complained his eyes glued to the screen before he continued ranting. "This is complete chaos and no one is listening to me. I mean, I may not look it, but -"

"Winn!" Alex exclaimed turning him around in his chair.

"Oh, is that-" Winn whispered taken aback by Jeremiah standing a few feet away.

"That's what we need to figure out." Alex explained trying to keep her emotions in check.

"Not that I disagree, but this place could really use Acting Director right about now." Winn confessed.

"Agent Cane is in charge when me and Hank aren't here." Alex informed him before she asked confused. "Why would you think you're in charge?"

"Umm, well I just assumed-"

"Never mind. It's not important right now. Take him to Hamilton and let her in on what's going on." Alex ordered before she turned to Jeremiah and took out her cuffs. "I'm sorry, it's just a precaution."

"That's okay, honey. It's a small price to pay for being back here with you and your sister." Jeremiah gently reassured making Alex feel guilty for treating him so harshly.

"Where is Supergirl?" Winn asked at the mention of his friend.

"Resting in her sun bed." Alex said before looking at Jeremiah. "Winn and dr Hamilton will take care of everything. I have to debrief the troops and come up with a plan. I'll join you once I'm done."

"So it's really him?" Kara smiled when Winn got out of the room where Jeremiah was being tested.

"It seems like it. These results are identical to the ones from the first time he had been rescued." Winn explained. "But we could really use one more thing to be certain."

"What?"

"Do you remember the thumbprint scanner-like tool that L-Corp's created?" Winn asked.

"The one detecting aliens?"

"Yeah, that one."

"But it was a prototype and I think I might have destroyed it when I was trying to keep Lena from finding out that I'm Supergirl." Kara explained.

"I'm sure they've made more since then."

"Okay, I'll ask."

Flying into Lena's office, Supergirl saw her pacing around nervously.

"Supergirl." Lena greeted. "I'm glad you're here."

"Is everything okay?" Supergirl asked noticing how upset her friend is.

"I just found out my mother is back." Lena explained, seeing Supergirl's lack of surprise she added. "But I guess you already know that."

"I do, but that's not the reason why I'm here." Supergirl explained. "I was wondering if you could lend me something."

"What do you need?" The CEO asked curiously.

"I remember Kara Danvers wrote an article a few months ago about an alien fingerprint scanner you own." Supergirl explained. When she saw Lena was about to interogate her about it she added. "It's really important and I don't have much time."

Lena walked up to her desk and picked up the device.

"Be careful." Lena said fully aware of Lilian's resentment towards aliens.

"Is this the same prototype Kara was talking about?"

"No, we think that one had a multifacturing defect. Why?"

"Just curious. I have to go. Thank you."

"That was fast." Winn said when Supergirl entered the infirmary.

"We have to move soon." Supergirl pointed out handing him the device. "Is Alex here?"

"I am now." Alex said walking up to them before she noticed Winn holding something in his hand. "What's that?"

"Something which will help us determine if Jeremiah's telling us the truth." Supergirl explained.

"You went to Lena?" Alex asked after taking the device and inspecting it closely.

"It's the only way to be sure. Let's go." Supergirl said grabbing her sister by her arm before they entered the room.

"Just one more test and we're done." Winn said coming to Jeremiah and instructing. "Just place your finger on the sensor."

"Okay." Jeremiah agreed doing as he was told.

"Did I pass?" Jeremiah asked after the scanner beeped.

"Yes, yes you did." Winn said as Alex came closer.

"I'm sorry, dad." Alex apologised hugging him. "I can't believe you're really here."

"It's okay, sweetie." Jeremiah assured hugging her back. "You were just trying to protect everyone."

"I'm so glad you're back." Kara said hugging him after Alex let go.

"Me too. But we really have to go now." Jeremiah urged.

"Okay, so we know J'onn is locked up with the rest of prisoners." Alex stated while they were flying in the DEO's chopper.

"Yes." Jeremiah confirmed. "If they hadn't noticed my disappearance, the cells should be easily accessed with my key card."

"They've given you a key card?" Alex asked confused.

"Of course not. I stole it two weeks ago while we were being transfered to a new base." Jeremiah explained.

"And what about my cousin?" Supergirl asked concerned. "Why would they put him on the other side of the building?"

"That's where a Kryptonite cage is." Jeremiah admitted.

"And that's why we have to focus on getting to J'onn first." Alex said. "He can help Superman while we're getting everyone else out."

"I have a bad feeling about this." Supergirl admitted.

"Whatever happens remember that I'm proud of you." Jeremiah said looking at his daughters.
