Standing next to her sister on the hospital bed with wires and tubes attached to her, Alex felt tears leak from her eyes. She wasn't used to seeing Kara like that.

J'onn, James and Winn were all standing next to Kara's bed, which was situated next to Mon el's. James placed his hand on her forehead

"She's burning up." he stated.

Right on cue Kara bolted right up and threw up everything in her stomach. J'onn had the hindsight to shove a bucket under her mouth before all hell broke loose. Alex held back her sister's hair and rubbed her back while Winn talked to her soothingly.

Kara collapsed back after she was done and weakly accepted the glass of water Alex gave her, even if she took small sips.

Alex got out a needle and tubes and drew blood from Kara who was also powerless at the moment, making her skin vulnerable and penetrable. Kara, who hated needles was too exhausted to even argue or react. After Alex took Kara's blood to the lab to analyze it, Winn and James perched on the sides of her bed.

"We'll find out who did this Kar I promise." James told her, smoothing her hair.

"Yes and we'll make you feel better. So better that I'll buy you 5 boxes of potstickers." Winn added.

At the mention of food, Kara felt her stomach turn again and she sat right back up and vomited in the bucket that James placed under her mouth.

This time James held back her hair and Winn rubbed her back. They helped her lie back when she was done and watched her close her eyes with worried expressions.

J'onn took one last look at them before joining Alex in the lab.

"What did you find Alex?" he asked her.

Alex, not looking up from her microscope answered "The foreign bodies in Kara's cells are an exact match to the ones in Mon el. She's got the Medusa virus too."

J'onn frowned "But I thought that the Medusa virus could only affect non kryptonians."

Alex shook her head "That was the original Medusa virus. This one is a modified version and apparently it is capable of attacking Kara." she said with a glance at her sleeping sick sister.

"Do you think it's CADMUS?" He asked her.

She looked at him " I know it was CADMUS. They're the only ones with the brains to do so."

"Our priority is making Kara and Mon el feel better at the moment. When are your parents arriving?" he asked her.

She glanced at her watch "They should be here in an hour. But they don't know Kara's been infected yet."

"I'll dispatch a car to get them from the airport. You start on the cure.. Scratch that Winn and James are leaving, go keep Kara company. She hates being left alone when sick." he told her.

"No need to tell me twice." she said and walked into the medbay and sat down next to Kara on her bed.

"Hey Kar," she talked to her sister with a low soft voice "Mom and dad are on the way. We're going to make you and Mon el all better. I promise." she said.

Kara smiled softly, despite the pain "I know." she said leaning into her sister.

When Eliza and Jeremiah arrived, J'onn was waiting for them at the entrance

"Eliza, Jeremiah. Good to see you again." he said.

"Good to see you too J'onn." Eliza said hugging him and so did Jeremiah.

"So Alex said that Mon el was back and infected with a modified version of the Medusa virus?" Eliza said.

J'onn nodded as they walked towards the medbay "However Mon el was not the only one infected." he said as they entered the medbay.

"Kara !" both Jeremiah and Eliza shouted upon seeing their daughter sitting up in a hospital bed puking her guts out while Alex held her hair and Mon el had a coughing fit in the neighboring bed. Jeremiah rushed to tend to Mon el while Eliza rushed to Kara who finished and was back lying in bed. She took a stethoscope from the table and positioned herself to listen to Kara's heart. After a few moments she repositioned herself to listen to her lungs. Jeremiah did the same for Mon el.

Eliza then kissed her daughter's forehead and she, Alex and Jeremiah made their way to the lab to start on the cure while J'onn stayed with Kara and Mon el.

"They're stable for now. But Kara's Vitals are not looking too good." Eliza said grimly.

"Mon el's too." Jeremiah agreed.

"Then let's start working on the cure." Alex said, setting to work.

Kara woke up a while later feeling like the insides of her body decided to have a bonfire. Everything hurt and it was so cold. Nevertheless she looked around and saw Mon el staring at her. She turned on her side, wincing as she did so and careful not pull the IV tubes or the wires monitoring her vitals.

"Hey you." he told her.

"You feel bad too?" she asked him.

"Like my body was dipped in fire then broken every bone in my body." he replied.

"Me too." she said.

"How did we get infected? I mean the last time it was the gas. I don't remember encountering any gas recently." Mon el wondered aloud.

"So the Medusa virus takes a couple of hours to take effect. Where were we the last couple of hours?" Kara asked.

Both widened their eyes and said in unusion "The restaurant!"
