Alex's eyes fluttered open, her head pounding like it had been hit with a sledgehammer.

"Hey," Kara smiled meekly down at her.

"Did you do it? Did you catch the alien?" she asked hopefully.

"Yeah," Kara said. "J'onn and Winn did."

"What happened?" Alex asked.

"I stayed back to make sure you didn't hurt anyone," Kara said and she saw Alex deflate.

"How bad was it? I didn't escape, did I?" she asked, but in reality, she knew every horrible word she said, every insult she had spoken, and every move she had made to get under Kara's skin. She remembered the defeated and wounded look in Kara's eyes and, despite everything she had said, how her sister had tried to keep her safe.

"Uh, no, no you didn't hurt anyone," Kara started, "but you hurt yourself."

Alex looked confused, so she scanned her body and found her right arm in a sling and her left wrist in a cast. "What the hell did I do?" she whispered.

"You—not Alex—thought that I wouldn't be able to stop you from hurting yourself," Kara said softly.

"I'm alright thought," Alex said.

"Yeah, I kind of knocked you out before you went all psycho," Kara grimaced.

Alex smirked up at her, thankful that she didn't actually remember that part. "That's what I asked you to do, so thank you. I couldn't bear the thought of me hurting you or anyone else."

"How's your head?" Kara asked, pointing to the bruise on her temple.

"It feels like I got punched by Supergirl," Alex chuckled. "I'm alright, Kara, really. I'll heal eventually."

"I'm glad I have my Alex back," Kara leaned down and hugged her sister, sighing in relief.

"I'm glad to be back," Alex whispered, rubbing Kara's arm.

J'onn entered the room, his hands on his hips. "The prisoner is ready for interrogation if you two are up for it."

Kara and Alex looked at each other. "Hell yeah," Alex said.

"The alien is an Atgas, a species known for their psychic abilities," J'onn said as they walked down to containment. "Mr. Schott was able to find some information on them. Apparently, one of their kind once took down the biggest government in the universe through the hatred they were able to spread through people's minds."

"Then it's a good thing you got to him before he could do any more damage," Kara said.

They entered containment, and the Atgas was seated on the bench inside the room. He appeared to be a middle-aged human, except for the two glowing red marks on his temples which looked like rhinestones pressed into his skin. When the three entered, he opened his eyes and grinned.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Supergirl," he chuckled.

"Who are you?" Kara asked, crossing her arms.

"I'm Caezra," he said.

"Why were you using Alex?" Kara asked, but Caezra just smirked.

"Come now, Supergirl. Did you really think I'd just give away my entire plan?" he chuckled.

"There are ways of making you talk," Alex snapped, although she didn't feel very threatening with a weak arm and wrist in a cast.

"Stand down, Agent Danvers," J'onn warned. "We have reason to believe that you weren't doing this on your own agenda," J'onn pulled out a small device that lit up and showed a picture of Kara as Supergirl along with a reward amount.

Caezra looked terrified, and his hands went to his coat pockets, but his device wasn't there anymore. "That's mine," he growled.

"Actually, this is property of the DEO now," J'onn said. "Unless you want to tell us who wants Supergirl dead."

Caezra scoffed. "I'm one of the most powerful psychic aliens in the galaxy. What makes you think I'll do anything you ask?"

J'onn grinned and walked forward, standing right in front of the glass. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," but Caezra remained silent.

"Hard way it is," J'onn said, widening his stance. His eyes turned red as he penetrated the Atgas' mind. Caezra's hands went to his temples, unable to fight J'onn at all since his cage blocked the use of his powers. He sunk to his knees, his head jerking back and forth as he fought to remain in control, but J'onn was powerful. Finally, Caezra screamed, falling to the floor.

"Lilian Luthor!" he cried, panting painfully. "She sent out the bounty on Supergirl!"

Kara and Alex looked at one another stunned. "How is that possible? Lilian Luthor is in jail," Alex said.

"She's in a human jail," Caezra snorted. "It's so easy to pass information along from that place that I could be giving my coffee order to a barista."

"Is Lilian Luthor still there?" Kara demanded.

"My job was to kill you, Supergirl, not break out a human convict," Caezra huffed. "She said she'd pay what was promised, so I couldn't pass it up."

"Well, you failed!" Alex shouted, pounding her good fist against the cage glass.

Caezra's eyes gleamed maliciously. "Alex Danvers. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed in you," he tsked. "It was just too easy to get into your head and twist things around. Have you told Supergirl about the things you've said? How you loved every second of it?"

Kara glanced over at Alex in confusion. "What is he talking about, Alex?"

"Oh, so you didn't tell her yet," Caezra chuckled.

"Shut up," Alex growled at the alien.

"What didn't you tell me?" Kara asked, putting a hand on Alex's shoulder.

"Nothing," Alex whispered. "You don't need to worry about it."

"If it concerns you I do," Kara said.

"What did she tell you?" Caezra asked. "Did she say how she didn't remember anything and that she was so shocked to see what she'd done?"

"Yes," Kara said slowly.

"That's just not true," Caezra sighed. "She remembers every single thing she did. And the best part is, she loved feeling that way."

Kara's brow was knitted together in confusion and disbelief. "Alex, is this true?"

Alex glowered at Caezra, but when she turned towards Kara, her face softened. "Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"When he took over, it was like everything that I loved about you and everything that made me so proud, made me hate you. I hated you, and the worst part was that I enjoyed the pain I inflicted. There was something so invigorating about the anger and hatred that had bloomed in me, and I loved the feeling," Alex choked, pressing a hand to her mouth. "As soon as I was brought back, I remembered everything I had said and done and I felt s-so h-horrible!" Alex hiccupped tearfully. "I didn't want to do any of it, but I wasn't in control!"

"Shh, shh," Kara soothed, pulling Alex in for a gentle hug. "I know you weren't in control. You're my big sister and you will always be, no matter what alien tries to tear you away from me."

"I'm so sorry, Kara," Alex whispered into her ear. "I'm so, so, so sorry for everything I did and said."

"It's alright," Kara whispered back. "Now, what do you say we go get a drink?"

Alex smiled, linking arms with Kara. "I think I'm going to need more than one."
