A/N: Thank you for the comments.

Reader - Thank you! I do want at some stage to bring Cat in, I just haven't figured out how yet.

"You seem more agitated than normal." Landon pointed out as Alex glanced at her watch again. "I'd ask if you have some where to be, but regardless of the case you'd answer in the the affirmative."

"Very astute, but as it happens I do have some where to be, so if you want to wrap this up early I'm good with that." Alex said.

"Okay." Landon said.

"Wait. What?" Alex asked suspiciously.

"I said okay."

"Why?"

"You asked." Landon explained. "There is no point in you being here if you aren't contributing anything more than looking at your watch."

"Okay." Alex said still sounding suspicious.

"But you will make up for it next week."

"And there it is." Alex said standing. "But I'll take it."

"Not you." Landon said to Kara noticing she was also trying to get up.

"Not me what?" Kara asked.

"You get to finish the session." He said. "There are some things I need to speak to you about alone anyway."

"I'll stay." Alex said reluctantly as she sat back down.

"It's fine. Go." Kara said.

"Are you sure?" Alex asked.

"I'm sure. Go." Kara said. When Alex continued to hesitate Landon asked.

"What exactly do you think I am going to do to your sister?"

"Based on past experience, knock her down and make her feel like crap before falsely accusing her of sexual harassment." Alex listed.

"Next time I will know better than to ask." Landon said dryly. "All I want to do is discuss recent activities with Kara. She is more than capable of looking after herself...or do you doubt that?"

"Are you trying reverse psychology on me?" Alex asked.

"I merely asked a question." Landon said. "Are you trying avoidance again?"

"I'll be fine. Go." Kara said. "You don't want to be late."

"Are you sure?" Alex asked.

"I'm sure."

"Okay. Let me know how it went." Alex said before giving Landon a warning glance and leaving.

"Your sister is definitely the most consistent patient I have ever treated." Landon mused as the door shut behind Alex, before looking at Kara.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Kara asked.

"You tell me. You seem a little down. Is everything okay?"

"It's fine." Kara said.

"Alex isn't here any more, you can tell the truth."

"Alex doesn't force me to lie."

"I know. But I'm guessing you are trying to hide something from her. Something is wrong, but you don't want her to miss whatever she is doing tonight."

"A concert." Kara said.

"So what don't you want her to know about?"

"It's nothing." Kara said.

"So it's not that you are feeling a little down because of what day it is?"

"What day?" Kara asked.

"It's the anniversary of Krypton's destruction."

"How do you know that?" Kara asked.

"It's my job to know about things that may affect you. The anniversary of losing everything is bound to be one of those. Of course I'd like for you to just tell me about it, rather than me having to read up n it. But I accept we are not there yet." When Kara didn't say anything he asked. "So how do you normally mark the day?"

"By offering prayers to Rao and my family."

"Does Alex normally take part?"

"No."

"Really? Why?"

"When I first came to Earth I didn't really want to share the experience with anyone from Earth. I wanted to keep it Kryptonian. That makes me a bad person doesn't it?" Kara asked.

"No. Of course not. But I am surprised you never let Alex in." Landon said.

"Later I wanted to, but that would involve admitting I cut her out of it for years so it was just easier to go it alone. But Alex was always there for me, even though I said I wanted to be alone or to forget what the day marked. But I guess eventually I made such assurances that it was a nothing day Alex started to believe it."

"And now you are alone tonight?" Landon asked

"I guess. I mean I can meet Lena or Winn. But it is the first time Alex won't be a phone call away. Why am I so pathetic? Surely I should be over this by now."

"I don't think losing everyone is something you get over." Landon said sympathetically. "So what will you do tonight?"

"Help others." Kara shrugged before noticing the time. "Speaking of. Time to go."

"You okay?" Maggie asked as she drove to the concert.

"Yes." Alex said distractedly as she looked at her phone.

"And the truth?"

"I'm worried about Kara."

"Why?"

"I left her with him."

"You do remember your sister is the girl of steel? She is literally bullet proof." Maggie reminded her.

"I know. But Landon gets into her head. I shouldn't have left her."

"You want to go back?" Maggie asked.

"No. It's fine." Alex said as her phone buzzed. "It's Kara." She said sounding relieved.

"And?" Maggie prompted.

"She says she's fine."

"So we're good to go to the concert?"

"Yes."

"What does 'fine' mean?" Alex asked after a minute.

"That she's okay?" Maggie guessed.

"What if she is just saying that?"

"You think Landon is holding her hostage and making her text you to say she is okay?" Maggie asked sarcastically.

"Of course not. Well I didn't until you suggested it." Alex said.

"My suggestion was not serious." Maggie said.

"I know."

"You don't sound like you know." Maggie pointed out.

"I know." Alex said more confidently. "I'm just worried. I feel like I am forgetting something."

"To leave your paranoia at home?" Maggie suggested.

"I'm an idiot." Alex said bolting upright in bed the next morning.

"Not arguing on that front." Maggie said trying to pull the covers over her. "Where are you going?"

"I need to see Kara."

"Why?" Maggie asked sitting up as Alex tried to find some clothes.

"Because I forgot"

"Forgot what?" Maggie asked confused.

"What yesterday was." Alex said leaving the apartment.

-00-

"Alex? What are you doing here?" Kara asked as she opened her apartment door. "And at six in the morning?"

"I as worried about you."

"I told you I was fine." Kara said.

"I'm sorry." Alex said.

"For what?" Kara asked confused.

"For leaving you."

"I was only with him for five minutes. It was fine."

"I didn't mean that. I meant leaving you on the anniversary of Krypton's destruction. I'm sorry. I forgot. I shouldn't have."

"Why not? You know I don't do anything."

"Actually, I know you always have a private ceremony and pray to Rao." Alex said. "And I know you don't want me to be part of that, and I am fine with that. But I also know you shouldn't be alone. I'm sorry."

"Alex. It's fine." Kara assured her. "And it's not that I don't want you involved. I just didn't want to tell you I had shut you out of the ceremony for years."

"I shouldn't have forgotten."

"Why? You have your own life to lead." Kara said.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked.

"I'm fine." Kara promised her.

"I can't believe I abandoned you with Landon when you were already vulnerable."

"Alex, it's okay. And he was actually nice about it. Supportive almost."

"Wait Landon knows? You told Landon?" Alex asked surprised.

"No, he already knew." Kara said.

"How?" Alex asked suspiciously.

"I don't know. It's probably in my file." Kara shrugged before asking. "Where's Maggie?"

"At home."

"Well seeing it is six in the morning, why don't you go home too?"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay." Alex agreed before asking. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Why would I?"

"Because it matters to you."

"You had the concert to go to."

"You are more important than a concert." Alex said hugging her.

-00-

"You remember that you were the one who brought the tickets?" Maggie asked after Alex had filled her in.

"I do." Alex said.

"Yet I get the feeling that you are about to suggest that Landon is responsible." When Alex didn't immediately respond Maggie said. "This is going to be bad."

"Do you know how I found out about the concert?"

"The internet?" Maggie guessed.

"No. There was an advert in a magazine that had been left out, open at the right page in the break room. Had it not been there I probably would have been too late to get the tickets. And then the therapy session was rearranged to yesterday. That's a huge coincidence"

"Wasn't it rearranged as you and Kara ditched the last session because of an alien?" Maggie asked.

"Rearranged to a day of his choosing."

"Does Kara also think Landon is behind a this scheme?"

"No. Which makes it even more obvious that he is."

"Why?"

"Kara said Landon was actually nice and supportive yesterday. What if he arranged the whole thing to win her over."

"Pretty sure there are easier ways to win Kara over...most of them involving food." Maggie said before asking. "Do you want to know what I think?"

"Sure."

"That you have a huge guilt complex and need to blame someone and Landon is an easy target." With that she kissed Alex goodbye and left for work.

Once she was alone Alex pulled out her laptop and was about to cyber stalk Landon when she realised where she should be and instead headed over to Kara's.
