"The trial of Lilian Luthor continued today. Luthor, the suspected head of the anti-alien terrorist organization, Cadmus, has been charged with a host of crimes, including the use of a bio-weapon in an attempted extermination of all aliens in National City." The news goes on about her as the gang are back at the alien bar.
"I'm glad she's never going see the light of day again." Peter tells J'onn.
"Well, on that we can both agree on." J'onn says as Kara returns.
"Another round is on its way." Kara tells the group.
"Well, I'm excited to meet Alex's new mystery man." Winn says.
"Do we know what he does for a living?" James asks.
"Cop." Kara tells him.
"Yeah, there's no way Alex Danvers would date someone who doesn't own a firearm." Winn comments when Alex approaches them with Maggie.
"Hey, you all remember Maggie, right?" Alex says as Winn and James take a minute to realize.
"Yeah. Good to see you again." James says.
"Hey there." Peter greets since this is the first time he met her without a mask on.
"Alex! I didn't...I didn't know." Winn says and turns to the others. "Did you know?"
"Of course I knew, I'm psychic." J'onn tells him.
"Drinks up!" Mon-El says as he brings them their drinks.
"Hey do you play pool?" Maggie asks Winn.
"Yeah." Winn lies.
"No, you don't." James informs him.
"It is-it is geometry with sticks, folks. Pool is easy." Winn says and James walks off, and Hank leaves to watch.
Kara looks to Peter who's smiling a lot more recently after the incident.
Peter notices her stares and is wondering why she's looking at him like that.
"What you looking at, Skirt?" Peter asks of her.
"I'm just happy that you're happy." Kara explains to him.
"Yeah, it's been tough. But I'm getting myself back together." Peter promises her.
"Testifying today against Luthor is her adopted daughter, Lena Luthor." The news says and the two turn and see what they're saying.
"That must hurt." Peter says seeing the news.
"Well, she's doing the right thing. Even though she still loves her mother." Kara replies. "I should probably go see her, she could probably use a friend."
"I bet she would like that." Peter says before raising his hand only to catch a pool ball in his fist. "Did you loose something, Winn?" He calls out to him.
"Sorry." Winn apologizes.

Kara went to Lina and talked her into seeing her mother, that's where Lena learned that she actually is a Luthor and not just an adopted Luthor as Lex's father is also her father.
During that night, Corbin or Metallo, got a package of Kryptonite that he could use to escape.
He was brought in to the trial of Lilian the next day as a witness and all he did was help and injur Lilian until he started using the Kryptonite to escape.
During his escape, he rescued Lilian and the heroes made their way to stop them.
A blast of energy almost hits the two as they look to see Kara and Peter.
"The job isn't done yet, Luthor." Kara informs them.
"You're right. You're both still alive." Lilian agrees.
"But not for long." Metallo says and tries blasting them and Peter activates his holo-shield and protects them both from the blasts.
Lilian tries running away, but Kara uses her heat vision to stop her.
Peter flies in and blasts Metallo, but Metallo does the same to Peter and sends them both flying in opposite directions. The Kryptonite itself didn't hurt Peter, more of the blast did.
"You can stop me, or you can save them." Lilian tells Kara and Metallo uses his blast to break a crane. "Make your choice."
Kara looks and sees that Peter isn't going to be able to help so she flies up and stops the crane from falling as they make their escape.
-
They both return to the DEO after scanning the entire city several times and they couldn't find anything.
"They're both gone. I should've stopped them when I had the chance." Kara tells Peter.
"Hey, you saved people's lives. You made the right decision." Peter replies to that as they walk through the halls. "We'll find them and take them down."
"I know, I know. It's just...I can't figure out where he got that Kryptonite. Clark was supposed to have taken it all." Kara reminds him.
"Yeah, Gwen was upset with him taking the Kryptonian-Slayer." Peter replies, walking through the DEO. "But my scanners seemed to be picking up a different construct other than Kryptonite. Like...it's unfinished."
"Wait, so it was man-made Kryptonite?" Kara asks.
"Cadmus must've sneaked it to him somehow, while he was in his cell." Peter says when Alex approaches them.
"Hey, Maggie did a search to see how Metallo could've gotten the Kryptonite and there was only one visitor. For Lilian Luthor." Alex informs them and Kara leaves to visit her friend.
Once there, Maggie was given security footage with Lilian stealing Kryptonite and has arrested Lena.
-
Peter didn't mean to eavesdrop on his friend, but he wanted to keep his eyes on her and used his enhanced reconnaissance mode while outside of CatCo to hear how Kara feels she's innocent and everyone tries to get her to see she's guilty and James promises he's going to prove she's a criminal.
Peter then comes up with a quick idea and goes to meet James outside of the building.
He, like Kara, believes she's innocent. His senses never lie to him and they say she's not dangerous and he knows to trust them.
James exits CatCo and Peter is leaning against the wall as he passes. "Where you running off to?" He calls him out and James notices him.
"What are you doing here?" James asks him.
"Look, I have a plan that could help you and Kara. I believe she's innocent, but I know you want proof. And I know the best way to get it. I just need Alex to make a quick call." Peter explains and starts filling him in on the plan.
-
An hour later, James is hiding in the prison where Lena is being held as Metallo has come for her and fights through the guards.
"If Lena was bad, I knew it was only a matter of time before you showed up to free her." James says dressed as Guardian.
"I do work for the Luthor's after all." Metallo says and James remembers his part of their plan.
Metallo sends a blast his way and James uses his shield to block it and the two start fighting hand to hand combat.
From the cell, Lena looks and sees from a mirror the green blasts and hopes this works.
Metallo eventually got the upper hand and starts feeling weaker and walks over to Lena's cell and breaks the door.
"Hello, ms. Luthor. Sorry for the delay." Metallo apologizes, not knowing he fell into their trap.
-
James goes to the DEO to get his wounds checked up on while Lena met up with Lilian and are driving away from the city.
"Are you okay?" Lilian asks her daughter.
"Don't." Lena warns her.
"You're still angry I had Metallo liberate you from jail?" Lilian asks.
"It makes me look more guilty when I'm not."
"Even if they found out the truth about you, no one would change their mind. The public wants to believe the narrative they expect from us. Luthor's are evil. We don't get second chances. Look at what they did to me. Stripped me of my medical license without even a hearing. Or worse, what they did to Lex. He could've fixed this planet for generations. But Superman twisted what he was doing, and they all turned on him."
"Lex went insane, driven mad by power." Lena informs her.
"Exactly. And if they could take the brightest mind on Earth and drive him crazy defending himself, imagine what they could do to you." Lilian keeps defending.
"You're just as insane as he is." Lena states.
"I just want to be the mother you always wanted. Because I do love you. Let me prove it to you now." Lilian asks of her.
In the driver seat, Metallo's Kryptonite is starting to become unstable, like Peter's scanners indicated.
They keep driving as they come up across a mountainside storage unit that was bigger inside.
Lilian and Lena walk through as she looks at everything.
"What is this place?" She asks Lilian.
"One of Lex's facilities. A giant satellite receiver embedded in the top of this mountain monitors outer space for signs of intelligent life." Lilian explains to her.
"To warns of alien invasions?" Metallo asks.
"Cause we know more are coming."
"Which makes me glad I joined the cause." Metallo says.
"There's enough here to sustain us for a long time if we need it, but I suspect we won't." Lilian tells them.
"Why's that?" Lena asks.
"Your brother didn't only keep rations for times of emergency. He also kept an Arsenal. Vaults around the world loaded with all the things he'd collected to level the playing field and defeat Superman once and for all." Lilian tells her and leads them to a keypad. "All we need is to open it."
"It's a biometric lock." Lena sees taking a look to the pad.
"It stand for Luthor DNA." Lilian says.
"Please tell me you don't have a bit of Lex frozen up here." Lena begs.
"I didn't say Lex's, I said Luthor. And you, my daughter, are part of the family tree." Lilian explains to her.
"So that's why you broke me out of prison, wanted to get close to me. You wanted to get into that vault, not because you care." Lena says.
"It's true I need you, but one doesn't negate the other. I still love you." Lilian promises.
"The only person you love is yourself." Lena says when cyborg Hank comes up and pushes Lena towards the pad.
"Put your hand on the pad and we can all start getting along again." Lilian promises and Lena refuses.
Cyborg Hank takes her hand and places it on the pad and it does a scan, but it doesn't go through. It says that she doesn't have any fingerprints.
"What?" They all question and Lena just smiles and turns to them.
"Didn't want to make it too easy on you." Lena says, but her voice sounds like Peter's.
She raises her hand and sends a repulses blast to Hank, Metallo and Lilian looks as the hologram turns off to reveal Spider-Man was Lena all along.
"Don't worry, your daughter was moved to a secure place, off the books." Peter assures her since that call he made to Alex was about moving Lena somewhere else and use him as bait for Metallo. "Oh, I might've called a friend. Hope you don't mind."
Supergirl comes crashing in, ready to finish them off when Metallo blasts her and Peter gets an alert on Metallo's Kryptonite.
Metallo is going to explode in the matter of minutes. And if he keeps using it, he's going to die faster.
Peter gets ready to send a blast to the Kryptonite, to get it out of his chest when the real Hank comes back and attacks him.
"Don't you ever give up?" Peter asks as Lilian starts making her escape and Peter tries stopping her when he hears Kara's cries and sees she's stuck.
Making a decision, he quickly sends a detonator to send Metallo flying as they see he's about to explode, so Peter grabs onto Kara before flying her out of the warehouse as it goes up in smokes.
-
Returning to the DEO, Lena was released and was cleared of all charges, thanks to some exclusive footage of Lilian confessing she had nothing to do with it from Peter's mask.
"That was an amazing idea." Kara congratulated Peter.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" Peter questions. "I have a lot of good ideas. Just a lot of them don't tend to work." He admits.
"Thanks for helped prove she was innocent." Kara says.
"I have a sense about people, way before I got my powers. Lena is one of the good apples of the Luther bunch." Peter tells her and they go their separate ways for the night.
-
Later, Peter and Winn were taking in the DEO when suddenly, Mon-El appears and he's not wearing any clothes...like, he's wearing nothing.
Completely nude.
In the middle of the DEO.
"Mon-El?" Winn calls out.
"Hey." Mon-El greets as the two look over his body.
Peter is seriously confused when he looks over the naked man. "Huh."
"I'm gonna kill him." Mon-El promises and they have no idea who he's talking about.
