A/N: Thank you for the comments. Sorry for the delay, I got writers block with this story and started turning the chapter I was trying to write too serious. So had to find a new plot idea for the chapter.

Emma16 - I will try.

"What have they done now?" Lena asked when she entered Kara's apartment and saw Maggie looking troubled.

"Who?" Maggie asked looking up.

"The Danvers Duo." Lena said. "You have a troubled look on your face. A look that normally only comes out after they do something insane. So is it alien related or therapy related?"

"Therapy. I think."

"You think?" Lena asked.

"I'm a cop and part of being a cop is following leads, doing the grunt work, but part of it is instinct and learning to follow your instinct."

"The infamous Gibb's gut." Lena said knowingly.

"I wouldn't have thought that was your type of show." Maggie said.

"Or I yours, yet clearly we both watch it and get the reference. So what is your gut telling you?"

"That I'm missing something." Maggie said. "I mean Alex and Kara are coming back from their sessions, while not happy, not miserable. And they are not talking about any of their paranoid theories. But it just seems too quick. So were they right and there is something odd about Landon and he has done something? Or are they up to something and cutting me out? Or is Landon a genius and I'm just being paranoid?"

"You do sound paranoid." Lena pointed out. "But I may have found something to suggest that there may be a connection between Landon and my mother." She added just as Alex and Kara walked in.

"I knew it." Alex said happily. "What is it?"

"His wife has been heavily investing in an organisation that is a shell company. A shell company that was set up by my mother."

"That doesn't mean Landon is involved. After all the marriage does seem like a sham." Maggie jumped in.

"But, maybe there is a link." Kara countered.

"It's not enough proof though." Alex said.

"That is a remarkably restrained and considered answer." Maggie said suspiciously convinced she was missing something.

"If we run with this and he can bluff his way out of it then we lose everything we have achieved over the last few weeks." Alex said.

"What exactly have you achieved?" Maggie asked feeling like she was missing something.

"Not exactly his trust, but he thinks we buy his psycho-babble. He thinks we are starting to trust him and confide in him. If we take this to J'onn he'll know we don't." Alex explained.

"Wait a minute, what have you been doing for the last few weeks to make him think that?" Maggie asked.

"Contributing to the sessions. Just like you told us to." Alex said.

"What if that's the plan? What if this is a test?" Kara said, ignoring the Maggie, Alex discussion. "He could have fabricated the records to test if we were still investigating him."

"You think he planted evidence to find out if you have stopped trying to dig into his past?" Lena asked.

"Yes."

"Wow, I'm impressed that you could come up with such a sneaky plan." Lena said.

"If you're right we have to play this carefully." Alex said thinking hard.

"Play what?" Maggie asked getting a sinking feeling. "The evidence points to his wife funding Lillian Luthor not Cadmus funding Landon." Maggie said. "So at worse it may imply his wife has sympathies to Cadmus."

"We still have to bring J'onn into this." Kara said. "He has to know he has a double agent working for him."

"Possible double agent." Maggie said.

"We don't have to reveal anything." Alex said after a minute. "We are going to get Winn to uncover the information."

"How?" Kara asked.

"He is trying to find Cadmus. He should be chasing down financial links to both Cadmus and Lillian. We encourage him to step up his investigation. He'll uncover the link and J'onn will have to act on it. If Landon does manage to worm his way out of it we are still in play."

"You have to stop using Winn." Maggie complained.

-00-

"Problem Agent Schott?" J'onn asked as Winn burst into the room J'onn was in.

"Yeah. Alex may have been right." Winn said.

"About what?"

"Landon."

"What do you mean?"

"I've expanded my Cadmus search to include all financial links, looking at tracing money back through shell companies." Winn explained.

"You've found evidence a shell company linked to Cadmus is paying Landon?"

"No. Actually it is more the other way." Winn said.

"Landon is paying Cadmus?" J'onn asked confused.

"His wife is. Maybe. She's investing in a shell company that is linked to Lillian Luthor." Winn said causing J'onn to stop what he was doing. Taking the tablet off Winn he asked, whilst reading. "Any evidence of a direct link between his wife and Lillian Luthor?"

"No. And all investments are made through a stockbroker, so it could be innocent. But it seems like a big coincidence." Winn said as J'onn read the documents.

"Why are we only just discovering this now?" J'onn asked. "According to this records she has invested for the last couple of years."

"Well I've only recently expanded the search." Winn said before saying. "But you're right...what if….What if the transactions were fabricated?" Winn asked.

"As a test of whether we trusted him?" J'onn asked confused.

"No. To frame him."

"Why would anyone want to frame him?" J'onn asked.

"Well Alex maybe, to stop having sessions." Winn suggested.

"While I concede it is a possibility, it's not Alex's style. Besides why now? She is actually making progress."

"That's the other possibility. Someone is seeing that Landon is helping and wants him to stop." Winn said.

"I don't think he is making that much progress." J'onn said.

"Really? Alex and Kara are closer. Alex has actually gone for a run of nearly forty-eight hours without snapping at anyone and Kara is smiling and almost back to how she was when she first came out as Supergirl."

"Let's just concentrate on the facts." J'onn said. "I am going to speak to his wife and find out why she is supporting a terrorist organisation. But Agent Schott, I do not want Alex, Kara, Landon or anyone else finding out about this until I have returned."

"Got it." Winn said.

-00-

"Where's J'onn?" Alex asked.

"J'onn?" Winn asked.

"Yes J'onn. Your boss." Alex said.

"He's um, not here." Winn replied.

"Well where is he?"

"Personal day?"

"J'onn doesn't take personal days." Alex countered.

"He is today." Winn said. "Look at the time I have to go."

"Not so fast." Alex said spinning his chair round and placing her hands on each of the arm rests, trapping him. "Where is he?"

"He wanted to chase down a lead."

"Alone?"

"Yes."

"Need I remind you that DEO protocol states backup must always be on hand especially for command level personnel, such as the Director? And anyone complicit with that not happening can face disciplinary action which could result in suspension of firing?"

"Um, really?" Winn asked.

"Have you actually read the DEO handbook yet?" Alex asked.

"Ahhh, well, not in detail, more of a skim." Winn confessed. As Alex filed that information away for later she pressed.

"Don't turn this into a disciplinary matter. Where is J'onn?"

"Out. He's chasing a lead. I don't know what or where." He squeaked.

"Agent Danvers, stop terrorising Agent Schott." J'onn said walking up behind them. "Winn my office. Alex aren't you meant to be training your sister?"

-00-

"Why are you looking so happy?" Kara asked when Alex entered the gym.

"It's working."

"What is?" Kara asked.

"I think Winn found the records and reported them to J'onn who is investigating."

"That was fast." Kara said. "But J'onn hasn't told you yet?"

"No. He probably doesn't want to until he is sure. This is working out perfectly. No matter how this turns out we are going to be in a strong position."

-00-

"You wanted to see me?" Landon asked.

"Dr Landon. Please come in and take a seat." J'onn said waving to a couple of empty seats next to Alex and Kara.

"Is there a problem?" Landon asked.

"Yes, some worrying evidence came to light today."

"Evidence about what?"

"Evidence that your wife was financially supporting Lillian Luthor."

"That's insane. She may have issues but she would never side with Lillian Luthor. Unless there was a lot of money to be made at which point her morals may jump ship. Wait you think I'm involved. You've seen my financial records, I can barely pay my rent, let alone fund an illegal organisation."

"You can't pay your rent?" Kara asked confused as Alex asked.

"You don't have access to your wife's money?"

"We're estranged so no I don't have access to her money." He said.

"I did not bring you in here to accuse you of anything." J'onn said.

"You didn't?" Alex asked surprised.

"No." J'onn said. "I wanted to tell everyone at the same time so there could be no rumours that would threaten to destroy the progress that has been made recently." He paused then looked at Landon. "I spoke to your wife earlier. I did not explain my connection to you. I just said I was investigating her funding of terrorist organisations. She denied it and called in her stockbroker. Well, now former, stockbroker. The claim is the Shell company is called FGT Holdingz. Up until two years ago your wife was investing in FGT Holdings. Two years ago that company was bought up and a new company was created. Apparently your wife's stockbroker didn't pick up on a subtle name change and kept investing in the newly created FGT Holdingz."

"Bull." Alex said.

"I'm with Agent Danvers, that sounds fabricated." Landon said surprising Alex.

"Indeed. So I had Agent Schott do some more digging. It turns out it wasn't just your wife caught in this trap and FGT Holdingz is not a lone case. Over the last two years following mergers involving the dissolving of one company, Cadmus, or at least Lillian Luthor have made new Shell Companies with very similar names to the dissolved ones. A surprising number of investors don't realise and when a letter comes through saying the bank details have changed, they just redirect funds. It can take months for the investors to realise, by which time Cadmus has made a lot of money. The good news is now we have figured this out we can more actively stop it happening. It may even help us track down Lillian Luthor." He then looked at Alex and said. "There is no evidence that Dr Landon has done anything wrong. I trust that you will continue to show him the same professional respect you have for the last few weeks."

"Nothing will change." Alex said. "But I would like to work with Winn on tracking down leads to Lillian."

"Of course." J'onn said worrying he was unleashing an uncontrollable beast.

-00-

"So it was a scam that his wife got caught up in?" Maggie asked that evening.

"Seems to be. At least that's the story that J'onn is buying." Alex replied.

"I have to ask. Did you plant that transaction details?" Maggie asked Alex.

"Of course not. Why would you ask that?" Alex asked.

"Because I know you would do anything to protect Kara and it is a good way to remove him. Also it all seems a little to convenient."

"I prefer the direct approach." Alex said. "But I agree, something does feel off."

"Like what?"

"Maybe Landon planted it not just to test how much we doubted him but to get us to sympathise with him and trust him more."

"You think Landon tried to frame himself to get you to trust him?" Maggie asked feeling the headache set in. "You know I'm not going to continue this conversation. I'm going home. I'll bring the car round." Maggie said. "I'll see you." She nodded at Kara before leaving.

"What?" Alex asked Kara once Maggie had gone.

"Did you?" Kara asked.

"Did I what?"

"Plant evidence?"

"Of course not." Alex said. "I told you I'll tell you all my plans. I do kind of wish I had thought of it though, it's a good plan."

"You coming for sisters' night tomorrow?" Kara asked.

"Sorry. Maggie and I are seeing that new band she likes." Alex apologised. "The day after?"

"Sure." Kara said as Alex left.

Once her sister was gone Kara removed Simon from his drawer and asked.

"So what do you think? Did someone try to frame him or did he frame himself?"
