After watching over her resting girlfriend and her dozing self-appointed guard dog for a solid two hours Kelly sets her book aside not really interested in it anymore. She gets up stretching out the stiffness from her limbs from being forced to site across the room from her sleeping girlfriend rather than sitting on the couch herself with Alex's head pillowed in her lap as she slept. Next time the pup sleeps outside she decides feeling the growing twist of jealousy at how adorable Alex was snuggled up with someone else dog as she goes over to press a kiss against the sleeping agent's cheek.

Rory's eye cracks open but Kelly is already backing away least the dog's growling wakes her sleeping beauty.

Once she was sure the soundproofing she'd put up around the office was still active, double-checked that the take out box of pizza she'd brought in would be at a decent enough tempter when Alex woke up and once again replacing the fallen blanket across Alex's shoulder while she slept Kelly leaves the office trusting a once again dozing Rory to protect her girl while she was away. Once outside the office Kelly makes sure to lock the door behind her just to be sure her Director girlfriend was left to her dreams in peace.

Alex had been working so hard lately. Too hard in Kelly's opinion. She was more than deserving of a long uneventful rest.

As soon as the spare key Alex had given her was tucked back into her pocket Kelly heads in the direction of the cafeteria. After all she wouldn't be any help to anyone on an empty stomach. Her phone buzzes in her pocket as she rounds the first corner away from the short hallway bringing a hopeful smile to her lips as she pulls it out. "Finally." She smiles scanning over the waiting text then firing off a few of her own in answer.

Mostly another round of happy faces emojis. She really was spending too much time with Kara.

"Good news?"

Kelly's eyes lift from the screen at the question her smile still in place. "Very good news." She smiles earning a small one from Vaz in return. It seemed every time she'd seen her since the Cadmus bust Kelly was always on her phone.

Everyone guesses she was keeping her brother as up to date as she could given the more sensitive information, they were slowly piecing together from the charred remains of the security hard drives.

"Good. At least someone in this place is getting good news." She sighs looking in need of a break herself.

"What do you mean by that?" Kelly asks puzzled as she tucks her phone back into her pocket. Rather than answer Susan chuckles noting how Kelly's head was doing that cute head tilt Maggie's would from time to time. Then she blinks confusion taking the place of remember amusement. "You really don't know?"

Kelly shakes her head "I've been with Ally. She's been catching up on her sleep, so I locked down her office to give her some semblance of privacy."

Rather than argue over protocol especially given Alex's orders to be kept as up to date as possible on any kind of new information they found on Maggie case Vasquez nodes. She knows Alex's behavior was more than a little warranted given who it was Cadmus had chosen to snatch from her life especially after seeing a glimpse of what those monsters was doing to the feisty detective herself from what Lena and the cute Gotham nerd had managed to pull from what was left of the former Cadmus bases security system, but Susan couldn't stand seeing her friend and boss working herself as hard as she had been the last few days. Without a doubt even Maggie would agree that Alex should be taking better care of herself if she knew.

"What brings you over Vaz?"

Vasquez's jaw ticks at how friendly Alex's new girlfriend was trying to be with her. Yes, she like the rest of the agents at the DEO were trying to warm to the new woman in their Director's life but it was slow going. With Maggie, it had been easier for them to welcome her into the fold. With Kelly that warmth wasn't as easy regardless of her being James's sister.

Before she could answer the sounds of shouting from the lower levels could be heard. No real words but the range behind them was clear enough for both women to hear.

Kelly's head tilted to the side as if anyone without super hearing could hope to catch what the angry Russian was shouting now. "That?" she guesses

Vaz nodes. "That." Susan agrees. "They've been trying to calm her down for the last hour but." Vasquez lets out a slow breath shaking her head. "That's why I was coming to get Alex. I mean we all found it weird she didn't come storming down as soon hurricane Lin broke out."

"Like I said." Kelly reminded putting herself between the agent and the start of the hallway to her girlfriend's office but Vaz waves her off. Then runs a hand in her short-cropped hair "Yeah. To be honest I would have done the same. I mean I know its Maggie's safety and her life on the line here and believe me I want her back safe and sound just as much as the others do, but even Mags would agree that the teamwork ethic isn't exactly healthy"

Kelly's jaw flexes at the name but she holds her tongue. Mostly that is. "From what I've heard from James the detective wasn't exactly following the book herself when that lunatic kidnapped Alex."

"I wouldn't go as far as to compare Jamie to that…." Kelly tuned the agent out at the string of expletives that followed "but knowing that she is possibly somehow working with Cadmus? It's pretty damned close." The agent finishes

"Jamie? As in Maggie's little computer geek friend?" Kelly questions as she falls into step when the acting Director turns away from Alex's office to go check once again on the seething super. Going by the new muffled strings of different language curses the rest of the gang had yet to take Red Daughter back to her 'cool down' room.

Regardless of what Alex had said about wanting to be kept in the loop Vasquez didn't exactly want to be the one to tell her about Jamie's betrayal just yet.

Not until they were sure beyond the nagging doubts of even the other agents some of them intentionally stayed behind when their shifts were up to lead some form of help. Even if it was just making sure the coffee in the break room was warm enough. After all. Maggie may not be in any kind of relationship with their beloved director but that didn't mean the scrappy detective wasn't still part of their inner family. And the DEO sure as hell defends its family.

"I know right." Susan exclaims "Winn and Kate swear up and down that she is being framed somehow and even J'onn and Eliza are saying the same thing but not even they can dispute what Brainy and the other lab guys have been digging up." If the agent had been looking her way, she would have caught an almost amused looking smile on Kelly's lips before she schools, her face into something more appropriate to the situation as she rests a hand against the agent's shoulder.

"When was the last time you got some decent sleep?" Susan shrugs. "Alright well, when was the last time you've eaten anything?" Again, her question was answered with a shrugging of black tactical gear clade shoulders as she thought it over then spoke: "I had a protein bar yesterday morning."

Kelly tisked under her breath. "Come on. I'm dropping you at the break room for something better than just a protein bar than making sure you get some real rest then going to see if I can do anything to help quiet hurricane Kasnia before she brings the place down."

"I think the place is safe for now. From Lin at least she solar flared and blew her powers. Kara and Alura on the other hand-" Kelly files that away for now as they turn another corner away from Alex. "and it was more than just a protein bar." Vasquez argues letting herself be tugged along back down the hallway. "It was one of the strawberry banana ones. Trust me those are like gold around here."

Her phone buzzed again just as she reached the door to Linda's 'cool down' room for the second time that afternoon, but for once she doesn't check it immediately.

If she remembered correctly now she was really looking at it beyond having to help guide an angry crying super clone into it before sliding off to pick up a few things before making a return trip that this was also the cell James said Kara's alien ex was held after he came back with not only a scruffy beard but also a wife.

It takes some sweet-talking the second time around, but she manages to get the guards standing watch on either side of the door to let her in.

Linda is sitting cross-legged in the middle of what passed for a bed her head down letting her long hair shield her face like a scolded child awaking, even more, scolding to come. At least they'd allowed for her to have her trusty long cape with her before locking the door behind them as it was now wrapped around her shoulders like a soft blood-colored cocoon.

It's only when the door is closed behind her and Linda had yet to signal that she knew anyone else was in the room that Kelly chances pulling out her phone to check the latest update.

"It was only a matter of time." She muses realizing a little to late that she'd said the words aloud. Not that she could really be too upset considering that was what caused Linda to look up from her meditative like state.

"You have good news?"

"Very good news." Kelly nodes quickly punching in the code Vaz told her to open the cell door to allow her inside. "One of my more stubborn patients is starting to accept her treatment," Kelly explains at Linda's quiet prompting for more information while also rummaging in the shopping bag her sister's girlfriend had smuggled into the cell with her.

"Oh?" Linda knew from talks with Alex that the new one was some kind of doctor in her own right as Kelly slides down the wall across from the sulking super while tucking her phone back into the safety of her pocket but only after snapping a picture of the super's delighted face when she saw just what was in the bag Kelly had offered her.

"A tough one?" Linda questions tugging the wrappings off each of the cookie packages to start mixing them together into one package.

Kelly nodes "Extremely tough. You have no idea." She laughs then her eyes turn sad. "A Jane Doe case I'm afraid so we don't really know her name and she keeps going in and out of consciousness so it is difficult for us to ask her."

Linda scoots a little closer to the end of her bed as she takes another cookie from the pack Kelly had managed to smuggle in for her. This one consisting of a mix of Carrot Cake, Peppermint cookies along with a new one Kelly had found after a quick internet search and a trip to the closest conveyance store called Marshmallow Moon. A specialty cookie to commemorate Earth's 50th year of landing on the moon.

If she was being honest Linda liked the moon landing cookies the best. Apart from the different space-y looking designs stamped on them the icing was also tented purple. "Good thing I bought out the two cases the store had in stock then huh?" Kelly comments nibbling on one of the other flavored ones.

Linda gives a bashful smile at that taking another cookie from the pack as she thought of something. "But if this patient of yours is conscious enough to be responding to this treatment as you say then that must mean that she will wake up soon, so she won't have to be Jane Doe much longer."

Kelly gives a light smile at the alien woman's optimism that was until she reaches for another of the dwindling cookies left in the sleeve only to stop with a low hiss of pain as her hand goes to her side before she can stop herself.

"Kelly?"

She waves away Linda's worried tones. "It's nothing." She promises but Linda is already scooting away with a guilty expression. "I hurt you, didn't I? When I pushed you out-of-the-way when you stepped between Kara and me?" Even without her powers at the moment the accident happened she'd thought Kelly had fallen too hard into the side of a table but at the time she'd been too consumed by her anger to check on her properly.

"A little bruised is all." Kelly soothes.

Linda was about to say something else but a soft taping against the main door pulled her attention.

Alex had finally woken from her nap and was standing with Rory and Kara in the doorway to the holding cell. For now, Kelly couldn't decide if her girlfriend hadn't been told what had been happening while she slept or if Alex was just pushing down her feelings regarding Jamie's betrayal.

Either way, she seemed to have eyes only for her sister while her hand was busy spinning one of the rings around her neck around her little finger. "Are you up for a field trip?"

Linda tilts her head curious but doesn't make a move to get up other than pulling her long cape security blanket tighter around her shoulders.

"There's someone in the med wing that wants to meet you." Kara elaborates leaving Alex and Rory standing at the door as she crosses to the keypad to punch in the access code then steps back as the security door slides open.

"Other Papa is awake?" Linda guesses both excited and nervous over the thought as her sisters node.

What if he didn't like her?
