A/N: Thank you for the comments.
Guest (1) - Thanks!
Guest (2) - Yes to guess A. Not really to B and C.
Guest (3) - I'm at the stage where I never want to write again...but at some stage I'm sure I'll be hit by inspiration. I never plan to write anything, normally I just wake up with an idea having taken hold and go from there. I don't know/can't remember the Batman world well enough to comment on bad guys in Gotham. I grew up watching Adam West, even from that the only thing (apart from the normal suspects) that stands out is the anti-shark spray. If it is on Earth 38 I'm guessing there will be a reference to Maggie, but I am also assume they can't get Floriana Lima again so there won't be any episodes with her. My guess is they'll make the costume more military (maybe not totally but definitely that feel).
"When was the last time you saw a doctor?" Cat asked as she handed Kara a glass of water.
"Just after the funeral."
"That was weeks ago. Why haven't you gone back?"
"They can't do anything." Kara said. "I just have to wait for my powers to come back."
"And how long before you realise they should have been back weeks ago?"
"I know that. But they may not come back this time." Kara confessed.
"Is there any evidence to support that?"
"I was exposed to Kryptonite as I was loosing them and after I had lost them. No one knows what effect that has. It's possible it is permanent loss of powers. They also think I'm too sad, too broken to get my powers back."
"What do you think?" Cat asked.
"I've failed time and again to protect those I love. I don't deserve powers."
"Even if your powers are gone for good, you should still heal like a human." Cat said. "Do you think you are improving at all?"
"I don't know."
"That's a no then." Cat replied. "This can't go on. There is clearly something very wrong with you."
"Does it matter?"
"Of course it matters." Cat argued.
"If my powers are gone. Supergirl is gone."
"But Kara still lives." Cat said. "And we are going to fix you."
"No one can help. Alex was the expert." Kara said.
"Then we find a new expert. Isn't there a walking, talking, supercomputer at the DEO at the moment?"
"Brainy?" Kara asked.
"Maybe it is time he lived up to his name." Cat suggested. "But for now, go get some sleep." When Kara didn't move she added. "That wasn't a suggestion."
When Kara had left the room Cat stood and saw Kara's phone lying on the couch. For a moment she looked at it before picking it up and sending a message.

"Ideally the block would fade naturally with time." J'onn said.
"During which time I don't remember a big chunk of my life?" Alex asked.
"Yes."
"I'm not waiting. I hate waiting. I need to know. I hate this feeling. I know something is missing." Alex said.
"The next best option is to reverse the block slowly, but I don't have that power and Raffa's skills have become faded." J'onn explained.
"Just do what you need to do." Alex said sounding impatient.
"Alex, I blocked a lot of your pain." Raffa clarified. "When the block is removed you will be hit by extreme sadness, fear and pain."
"I'm fine with that."
"Don't underestimate this Alex." J'onn warned as Raffa said.
"Those emotions stopped your desire to survive."
"You said I gave up after I heard that my sister had died?" Alex asked.
"Yes."
"But she isn't dead?"
"No." J'onn confirmed.
"And I know that now, so I won't feel the same things as before and even if I did, I know it's not true." Alex argued.
"The emotions will hit you so fast that you may not be able to apply logic." Raffa said. "It will be extremely draining on you, physically and emotionally and you are still not healed."
"It would be safer to fully heal from your wounds first." J'onn said causing Alex to look at her mother.
"Were we close? Kara and I?"
"Yes." Eliza said, not wanting to lie, but not wanting to help Alex along the wrong path.
"And you said she is struggling?" Alex asked looking again at the photos of her and Kara, frustrated she could not recall the other girl.
"Yes." Eliza confirmed.
"So she needs me back?"
"She needs you alive. If you do something that hurts you she won't forgive herself." Eliza replied.
"Can you fix this?" Alex asked looking from J'onn to Raffa.
"Yes. But it won't be easy for you." J'onn reiterated.
"What about for you two? Will you feel everything too?"
In response they both nodded.
"Will you be in danger?" Alex asked.
"No." J'onn said.
"I did this to you." Raffa said, "and I will do whatever you want to correct it."
"Will it take long?" Alex asked.
"Yes and no." Raffa said unhelpfully before explaining. "The process itself will only take seconds or maybe a minute or so, but to you it will feel much longer."
"Okay, let's do it then." Alex said.
"Are you sure?" J'onn asked.
"I may not know why, but I know that I need to remember." Alex said. "Please J'onn."
"Okay." J'onn agreed. "Sit down on the couch."
Nodding Alex sat down and waited.
"Are you sure about this?" J'onn asked one last time.
"I hate this feeling. I need to know what I don't know." Alex replied.
"Okay." He agreed as he sat on one side of her and Raffa on the other. J'onn then looked at Eliza who stood in the corner frowning in concern and said.
"She'll need you."
Not entirely sure what he meant Eliza stepped towards them and watched as both the telepaths placed their hands on Alex's head.
She then watched as anguish, pain and despair washed over Alex. Desperate to intervene but not wanting to endanger Alex she fought her instincts and held back, letting J'onn and Raffa do what they needed to do. Eliza watched for what felt like an eternity as Alex broke down, until finally J'onn and Raffa backed away and she rushed to Alex's side. Pulling her in or a hug she comforted and held her until finally Alex had cried herself to sleep.
"Is she okay?" Eliza asked as she cradled Alex's sleeping head in her lap.
"It was a draining experience. She needs to rest." J'onn said. "But she will be okay. I wouldn't have done it if I had any doubt. But we won't know if she has all her memories back until she wakes."
"And you two?" She asked.
"We just need rest." J'onn replied.
