"I have a similar setup at home for Gracie." Maggie muses still cradling a napping Alex against her shoulder as she looks over the 'talking' layout the 'super friends' had rigged up. "Not this many, of course." She goes on eyeing the impressive number of buttons that seemed to be strategically arranged around the space. "Just easy ones. Yes. No. Water. Food. Cuddles. Outside. Play. Sleepy." Maggie lists spying the accompanying ones on this armament too. She even laughed aloud noticing the 'Outside' button had been set right beside what she guessed was the controls for the elevator.

"Kelly suggested them if M'gann or I wasn't around to…" J'onn starts to say only to quickly hurry on with a questioning "What are you working on, General Schott?" toward Winn who had been tinkering with something at one of the back work tables almost since he'd finished his 'fanboying' as Maggie had thought of it after they'd walked into the 'Bat Cave National City Edition' as he'd called it.

Maggie knew without needed to see his face even when he deliberately turned away from her that J'onn would deflect anymore questions on the M'gann subject but that didn't mean she was willing to drop it completely as she ran her other hand through the soft fur of Alex's back while she slept.

According to the note Winn had spotted Brainy and Lena had needed a break from the Alex problem and had gone to the park to clear their heads, but they did promise to return with food. Both human and puppy friendly.

"Kara and Alex both have been trying to get them to slow down since it happened." J'onn sighed

"But this Brains guy, you said he was from the future, right?" Winn reminds "something like this must have already happened so why not…"

"It's not that simple, Winn." It's Maggie, not J'onn that steps in this time as Winn tosses away a screwdriver with a little more force than was needed in his own flash of frustration. "What the heck are you working on anyway?" she asks changing the topic for the moment.

"Remember when Lin had us watch that movie with the old guy and the talking dog?" Winn asks with a guilty half-smile as he rubs at the back of his neck with his free hand as his eyes drop back to the thing he'd been tinkering with.

"You made my sister a Dug the dog collar?" Kara asks impressed as she steps down from the balcony still smelling of smoke from putting out an apartment fire uptown as she'd circled back toward Watchtower.

"Kind of." Winn nodes

"Sorry." The newly returned hero says guiltily noticing his tensed demeanor.

Winn shakes his head forcing himself to set the screwdriver back down after a pleading glance from a worried Maggie. "'s alright." He shrugs off. "but it will take a little bit to get it calibrated to her more human-based brain waves before we can really test if it works or not." He goes on grasping at the steadier ground of 'talking nerd' as Linda called it.

"So cool." Kara grins scratching her puppy-sized older sister behind her ear from Alex's chosen spot of in Maggie's arms. The cape-clade hero grinned wide when even in sleep Alex's head leaned into her fingers.

"You really think this is a good idea?" J'onn questions as Kara gingerly moves to watch Winn start keying in the codes they'd need.

"You have a better idea?" Maggie asked more than a little aggravated as she redoubled her grip on her sleeping ex. The act only making her worry more considering how light of a sleeper Alex normally was. Or at least how she'd been when they had still been together.

"I can't lose her again, J'onn."

Kelly stops dead in her tracks at the more verbalized representation of her own pain layering the statement. M'gann still wearing the borrowed face of Kelly's girlfriend and Nia both unintendedly walking into her given the suddenness of her stop just outside of the Watchtower elevators.

She hadn't exactly met Winn Schott in person before, but she'd seen more than enough pictures of him to recognize his boyish face even with a heavy dusting of an unkempt beard as he looks over at them from behind a computer. Thought in all their talks of Alex's computer-wise friend she'd never mentioned him being a soldier Kelly realizes. From beside her Kelly feels M'gann tracing letters into her back rather than speaking them aloud given the untrusting look the military-trained man was giving them.

'Multiverse refugee, not the one she knew.'

What hurts most of all was seeing just how happy Alex was nestled so gently in Maggie's arms as her puppy-sized girlfriend nuzzled under Maggie's chin trying to soothe her after having been rather abruptly woken from a worrying mid-afternoon nap.

"Not like this." Maggie finishes looking down at the puppy that was Alex in her arms. Alex stretches up once more to lap her little pink tongue along Maggie's lips and chin as her tail thumps happily against her arms. "I don't care who I upset I can't just walk away from her not this time." She goes on not noticing the three newcomers still crowding the doorway.

"Cleaver having a cover like that, then." Winn interjects nodding towards M'gann "and that might not be the real one, but you weren't kidding about her being easy on the eyes." He praises "Not Lin pretty but cute non the less."

Maggie only rolls her eyes "cavities." She grumbles earning a laugh from her best friend and a puzzled bark from Alex as she pivots around to see just what Winn was talking about.

"You." She breathed noticing the woman in the front of the trio.

"Surprise." Kelly says trying to sound unphased her eyes sliding down to the puppy-sized version of her girlfriend in the other woman's arms.

"Do you want…?" Maggie starts to offer but when she tried to pass off her ex-fiancée to the woman who was for the lack of a better term her replacement in Alex's love life with Alex herself only snapping angrily at the other woman's fingers when she attempted to touch her puppy-sized girlfriend.

"It's alright." Kelly sighed but even Winn could hear that was an outright lie as they watch Alex settle down with a rather contented sigh when Maggie shifts her back so she could nuzzle against her shoulder once more.

"If I didn't know better, I'd swear you really were Gracie, Danvers." The detective chuckles smoothing her fingers down the still raised heckles alone Alex's back. "Always wanting the royal treatment when she's tired." As if to prove her point Alex gives a wide yawn as she settles back against her chuckling ex's shoulder.


"Someone taller and with thumbs. Assistance, please." Alex barked pausing in her vein attempt to open the door herself to look towards a few of the passersby seeing as Linda was busy locking up her own motorcycle next to Winn's along the sidewalk. "Please? I have tiny puppy paws and this door is really heavy." She whines around the pet toy she had yet to put down since tugging it back from under the couch before they'd left the apartment.

"Kara? Kelly, I know you're there I can smell you." Alex growls catching another faint trace of her younger sister's as well as the fresher flavor of her current girlfriend's scent on the air as she pawed once again at the door to her Papa Bear's offices. "Come on Kara let me in, I have something to show you." She goes on still trying to talk around the toy between her teeth. "It soft and fluffy and the best part is it squeaks." She cheers even flexing her jaws to bring a weak squeaking from the toy in question as her tail continues thumping happily against the sidewalk as she sits down and waits for the pretty smelling blonde that had brought her here to notice her.

Maggie and Winn were safe and sound with her Papa Bear. J'onn wouldn't let anything bad happen to them. Alex could smell each of them, so why was pretty scented blonde so worked up now neither were answering their phones? "Hey, Lin, calm down, Maggie's safe, so is Winn." Alex called out helpfully towards the Kara look-alike still holding her phone to her ear.

"What's up Gracie, girl?" Linda asks pushing her hair out of her eyes as she replaces her phone in her jacket pocket. "You know where they are?"

Alex knows Linda was just goading her, but she also couldn't help the excited play bow she gives along with a soft confirming whimper.

"Yeah? You know where your Mama and Uncle Winn are?" Linda asks again earning another happy bark from Maggie's dog. Gracie even giving her new favored Supergirl-inspired toy a loud squeak as her tail wagged matching her more eager demeanor. "Well don't keep me in suspense, girly. Where are they?"

A few passersby chuckled at the back and forth but neither Alex nor Linda gave them an acknowledging glance as the puppy that was Alex Danvers spins around in a half-circle in eager joy then charges back as fast as her small furry body would allow her towards the front door to J'onn's offices.

"Hey, hey careful there," Linda warns when Gracie nearly trips herself dragging the Supergirl crest-shaped toy Maggie had gotten for her. "Maggie will kill me if I let anything happen to you."

"Is that a secret elevator?"

Had she not been already hurrying to catch the closing outer doors Alex would have laughed aloud at the mirrored shock from the first time the real Kara had seen the not-so-secret, secret entrance into the 'Superfreind's' main base.

"Yes, now hurry up before the door closes." Alex groaned in the form of an inpatient bark in Linda's direction.

"So cool." The in-awe blonde whispered hurrying after the waiting puppy.
