Peter and J'onn are keeping an eye on the the Daxamite ship that's still up there and also is trying to come with the strength to get rid of G.W.E.N.
It all makes sense to him now, as Gwen didn't make this A.I. to replace her. She made it so that Peter could wait until he was ready to say goodbye.
He then heard news of a new alien attacking and sees that Kara already took care of it.
J'onn and the President were talking about the Daxamite ship and she tells them not to attack unless they attack first as Kara and Mon-El come in.
"That alien you fought this morning, he wasn't just any rogue." J'onn informs Kara as Peter joins them. "He's from a race of alien bounty hunters called Amalaks."
"A bounty hunter?" Peter asks.
"Yep. When the DEO was intaking our new monocular best friend, they found this." Winn says and walks up with a (in Star Wars terms) puck that shows a hologram on Peter and Kara.
"Hey, that's us." Kara says, sounding a bit overeager.
"What is it?" Peter asks them.
"It's an interplanetary messaging device." J'onn explains
"It accesses a universal Darknet for evil people, bounty hunters, smugglers, things like that." G.W.E.N. adds on.
"That is still freaky." Winn says looking at the ceiling where her voice came from.
"Is there a message?" Mon-El asks as Winn activates it.
"Target 1. Supergirl. The last daughter of Krypton. Target 2. Spider-Man. The prince of Krypton. Location. National City, USA. Planet Earth. Three hundred quartz crowns for each target upon proof of their deaths." The message says and shuts down.
"Someone put a bounty on both of your heads." J'onn says and everyone is confused about who would do that and why.
"How much is three hundred quartz crowns?" Alex asks.
"A lot. Enough to buy a planet." Mon-El tells them.
"Like we're talking like a planet in a good neighborhood? Or like, a hipster, up-and-coming kind of vibe?" Winn asks.
"With that kind of bounty, every low life killer in the universe will be headed this way to take their shot." Alex adds.
"Well, that's fine. We can take them on together. Right, Spider-Guy?" Kara asks Peter.
"Well, Otto was basically a bounty hunter who wasn't getting paid to capture me. I was able to stop him." Peter agrees.
"Not that I doubt the two of you, but a series of battles with interstellar bounty hunters doesn't seem like a good way to ensure public safety." Alex warns them.
"Alex is right. I want the two of you to stay out of sight until we can figure out who is behind this." J'onn tells them.
"Makes sense, I suppose. We can't get people hurt, the bounty hunters don't know where we are. Strategically, it makes sense." Peter agrees with them.
"Fine." Kara agrees.
"Thank you. Agent Schott, see if you can find a way to locate some more of those things. Maybe we can stop those bounty hunters before they strike." J'onn tells the team. "Agent Danvers, run a database search for other species who might be using this network."
"Actually, I had plans, but I'll cancel." Alex explains.
"No. Don't cancel." Kara tells her.
"These databases won't search themselves." J'onn adds on.
"Actually, we can get G.W.E.N. to do it. Simple." Peter says.
"Great. Less work for me." Winn says, agreeing and walks off.
Mon-El had a bit of an idea of who could be behind this, that being his parents.

That night, Peter asks Kara if they can talk about something important at her place while they're laying low.
Peter knocked on Kara's door and Kara opens it to let him in.
"I hate being stuck inside." Kara informs him as he chuckles. "I mean, you probably like it. Don't spiders like closed spaces?" She asks him.
"You know, I'm not a half spider, right? I know I'm half Kryptonian and human. It's just my body was altered so my brain couldn't be mind controlled that gave me apider-like powers instead of your powers." Peter reminds her.
"Right. So what did you wanna talk about?" Kara asks.
"This is gonna be hard to explain, but Music Meister opened my eyes to what I've been doing when I said I moved on from Gwen. I've just been talking to her ghost." Peter tries starting off and looks to Kara who's confused. "The artificial intelligence that I've been using, Gwen didn't make her in case she died...I think she made it so I could have a proper chance of saying goodbye."
"So, you're planning on getting rid of the AI?" Kara asks him.
"According to G.W.E.N. and this group I've been going to, I can't move on until I let her go. And I think I'm ready to do it, but I'm also scared to do it." Peter says and looks to Kara who starts walking but suddenly stops moving and Peter's senses alert him somethings wrong.
"I...I can't move." Kara tells Peter. "Like..." she tries saying when she grabs Peter and flies the two of them into the air and crashes them into a parking lot.
-
Peter quickly gets back up and activates his spare web shooters.
"What's going on, Skirt?" Peter asks her, preparing to fight her off.
"I don't know! I can't control myself!" Kara warns as she starts swinging her arms at Peter and he was able to block every attack. "I'm sorry." She apologizes.
"I'm sorry about this." Peter says as he shoots Kara with a taser web and it causes Kara to spaz uncontrollably and drops to the ground. "Again, sorry." He apologizes to her as she fights up against it and breaks the web.
J'onn comes flying in and sees what's happening.
"Schott is searching for the hunter." J'onn assures them.
"I can't fight it." Kara says as she gets to laser J'onn when Peter leaps in the way and activates his shield that comes from the the web shooters.
In an alley, a telepath is controlling Kara to have the targets kill each other when Alex points her gun to his back.
"Let him go, or your mind won't be so useful." Alex warns him and he lets Kara go.
Peter was holding the laser back when they finally stop and they wait for another attack and they look to see Kara is free.
"We gotta stop fighting like an old married couple." Peter tells Kara since this is possibly their third attempt to kill the other.
-
They bring their new telepathic friend to the DEO where he's put into the cell as everyone returns with him.
"So, Creepy McGee here got inside Supergirl's brain and thought he could use her to have her and Spider-Man try and kill each other. And since Spider-Man's brain is protected by his mental block, he couldn't get into his brain." Winn explains to them.
"Who put the bounty out on us?" Kara asks the hunter.
He just smiles and looks at them like he knows nothing.
"He knows. You can tell he knows." Alex tells them.
"I'm the most powerful telepath in the Alcorian system. I know more than you could imagine." He tells them. "You'll never get me to talk. You humans are too moral to do what's necessary to penetrate my mind."
"Allow me to get my suit." Peter dares him.
"That won't be necessary." J'onn says as he joins them and starts trying to get into his mind.
He and the hunter fight mentally until J'onn seems to be out thinking him.
"All right! It was the Daxamites!" He tells them and they look to Mon-El. "Queen Rhea placed the bounty...on both of the Kryptonians."
They all return upstairs as Mon-El is mad at his parents.
"I know them, on their minds, they honestly believe that if they get rid of you, then I'm just gonna go back home. They must see it as just a bonus to kill the last of the Ren family. No offense." Mon-El tells Peter.
"Why would I be offended by that?" Peter asks, not seeing the offense in not being the main target.
"We need to retaliate, get them to pull ack the bounty and leave earth." Alex tells them.
"Listen, as much as I like revenge, need I remind you that they have an impenetrable warship?" Winn reminds them.
"We can't take any action against the Daxamite ship whatsoever." J'onn warns them. "We have orders from President Marsdin. Attacking them could start an intergalactic war."
"They attacked us." Alex reminds him.
"I'll brief the President and wait for her instructions. Until then our only mission is to keep you two safe." J'onn tells Peter and Kara.
-
Peter decided to help Kara clean up her apartment from the mess that the telepathic hunter caused as she talked to Mon-El about his parents.
"So, I've been thinking about a solution to our problem." Mon-El tells them.
"Yeah, and there's only one thing we can do." Kara says as Peter finishes cleaning up the glass.
"Talk to your mother."
"Run for our lives."
They both say at the same time.
"So there's this planet that a Durlan emissary told me about when I was a kid. It's got water, and a yellow sun, it's got everything we need to survive. My parents wouldn't find us there. We'd be together, we'd be safe. I've been reading this play, Romeo and Juliet."
"Not the best story to describe your predicament." Peter tells him. "I mean, by the end of it, they die."
"I...did not see that coming." Mon-El admits.
"Never enjoyed Shakespeare in school." Kara admits. "And no. We're not leaving. I'm Supergirl, I don't run from anything."
"You two don't know my parents, they won't stop. They want the two of you dead and they want me to come home. And they're...they get what they want."
"That's why we need to talk with your mother." Kara states.
"J'onn did we can't engage with them." Peter reminds her.
"No. He said we can't attack them. We can still talk to her." Kara tells him.
"I am not having anything to do with this," Peter warns them.
"Fine, have it your way. But your mother can change." Kara tells Mon-El.
"People don't change." Mon-El says.
"Sure they do. You did." Kara reminds him.
"Okay, we'll, I'll contact the ship. It's worth a shot." Mon-El agrees.
-
Kara and Mon-El met up in the Fortress of Solitude in order to talk some sense into his mother.
"Krypton on earth? And I thought the location of our last meeting was vile." Rhea states.
"This place is sacred to me and my cousin. I thought it was the only place on earth worthy to entertain you, Your Majesty." Kara explains.
"The Kryptonians were never very good at entertaining." Rhea replies.
"Look. We know it was you. One of your bounty hunters gave you up." Mon-El tells his mother. "I know you love me, okay? And I know that you think you want what's best for me. But can't you see that being here on earth with Kara makes me happy? Call of your bounty. And maybe you and I can still have a relationship."
"I'm your mother. You do not dictate the tears of our relationship." Rhea tells her son.
"Your son has found a home here. Friends, a life...he's happy." Kara tells her. "Don't take that away from him. I know our worlds have had their differences. Which is all the more reason that we need to fight to make peace. When Mon-El first landed here, we didn't understand each other. But we found a connection. Through the kindness in our hearts. And that comes from somewhere. You have kindness in your heart. Please just try to understand that letting him stay here us the right thing to do." She begs of her.
"Whatever connection you think you've found with my son during this tryst is a lie." Rhea says and Kara starts to feel weak as Rhea pulls out a krypronite sai and goes to strike Kara when it gets blasted out of her hand.
They turn and see Peter coming down and aims all of his arsenal at Rhea.
"Make your move, Tiara head." Peter dares her.
"Where'd you get kryptonite?" Kara asks as Mon-El helps her stay up.
"Our planet is littered with the corpse of your people." Rhea explains and pulls out another weapon to attack Peter and it doesn't even affect him. "How..?"
"Sorry, only half Kryptonian. Your tricks don't work on me." Peter informs her.
"I crossed an ocean of stars looking for my son. I'm not gonna let the last son of Ren stand in my way." Rhea promises.
"Then you have some nice views on your way back." Peter replies to her, knowing he can take her. "Return to your ship, call off the bounty or I blow you with a lead encased blast." He warns her.
"Lead?" Kara asks.
"G.W.E.N. was able to see that lead does the same thing to Daxams as kryptonite does to you." Peter explains as Rhea vanishes and returns to her ship.
Peter shuts down his entire arsenal and looks back to them and retracts his mask.
"Good move." Peter says to the empty air.
"Thanks for your help." Kara says.
"You're lucky I decided to stay behind and make sure you two didn't do anything stupid. Which you did." Peter tells her. "But we might've started an intergalactic war."
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Kara assures him.
"Just so we're clear, I will throw you under the bus when J'onn finds out." Peter warns her. "And you know he will. But until then...Small Fry, Skirt, I'll see you around." He says before walking for the exit of the fortress and he realizes he was going the wrong way.
"The exit is this way." Peter says as he walks in the opposite direction.
-
J'onn did in fact learn about it but saw that with the ship leaving, they don't actually have any reason to be mad at them.
You know, yet.
