Chapter 20
J'onn managed to get the plane on the ground and the back hatch was already lowering before he had a chance to move toward the back of the aircraft. He knew that Alex would be waiting for that door to come down, expecting to see her sister standing there. Swallowing, he met the door and the redhead. Her face fell, not because she wasn't glad to see the Martian, she was, but her sister needed her, she knew it.
"Where is she?" Alex demanded.
"She made me let go of her. She's…" he didn't get to finish as suddenly Alex started running. J'onn turned to see bright trails of light heading back in the direction of where Kara fell. He flew toward the lights, grabbing Alex as he went. They landed next to where the trails ended and found Kara. The blonde didn't seem to be breathing but suddenly she took a large gasp and opened her eyes. Alex dropped to her knees and took hold of her sister's hand.
"I'm here," she told her.
"Alex," Kara heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank the Gods. Don't ever make me do that again," J'onn said.
"I make no promises," Kara smirked.
"Can you sit up? How did you do that with the lights?" Alex asked.
"I may need a few minutes and I have no idea," the blonde admitted.
"We need to get you checked out and we need to know what happened to you. How did you end up like that?" J'onn kneeled down next to her and gently scooped her up.
"That is a long story and I don't have all the answers," Kara said.
"Well we'll figure it out together, we always do," Alex said as they started walking back toward the airplane and the emergency crews that had arrived on scene.
"We're going to need Brainy, James, and Nia," Kara told them.
"Why Nia?" J'onn asked, confused how a cub reporter could help them.
"Nia is not just a cub reporter. I've been letting Brainy train her at the Fortress," the blonde admitted.
"That trip to Nia's hometown, Parthas. She knows who you are?" Alex was a little surprised that her sister had kept that from her.
"She's been through a lot and I wanted to keep her our ace in the hole. In a time where no alien is safe, I don't think they'll see the distinction between a half-alien, half-human, and a complete alien. Her powers are not strong enough to protect herself just yet, which is why Brainy was helping her in secret. Especially now that our friend from Washington is keeping an eye on things," Kara explained.
"That was a smart move. Until we get a read on the Colonel, we need to remain cautious," J'onn agreed with her move. Alex nodded. She didn't like it but she understood. The climate was not exactly ready for another alien hero, especially if she wasn't able to protect herself.
"Director Danvers!" Agent Robert Waterston shouted and they looked at him.
"Agent Waterston, what have we got? How is everyone?" Alex wanted to know.
"Just bumps and bruises thanks to Supergirl and Manhunter. The local FBI is helping with the prisoners until the nearest DEO office can get us a new plane. Anything we need to worry about? Does Supergirl need medical help?" Robert asked.
"I need some of those sun generators and then I'll be all right," Kara smiled at him.
"Coming right up. Agent Bernard of the FBI said that he'd see about getting us set up in a hotel until the next plane is available," Robert explained.
"Good work," Alex smiled at him. He nodded and went to retrieve the sun generators. J'onn carefully set Kara down on her feet. She wobbled a little but she seemed better.
"Now who is the person who did this to you?" J'onn asked.
"Me, or rather my evil twin," she said.
"Pardon?" Alex gave her a look.
