Jennifer Baratta - Help is also coming
As Brainy sat at a console an alarm started ringing.
"What is it?" Lex asked appearing from nowhere.
"A large energy spike has been detected over the Pacific." Brainy said typing.
"Can you be a little more specific?" Lex asked.
"I am just cross correlating various different sensors." Brainy said. "I believe it had a terrestrial source. It appears to have come from this island." He said showing a map. "It could be volcano, but the heat signature only lasted nine point seven seconds."
"Send Team Kilo." Lex ordered.
"We have no reason to believe it is an alien attack." Brainy pointed out.
"Maybe. But you don't know what it is, so let's be safe. How soon can they get there?"
"Four hours and thirteen minutes." Brainy said.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Lex said.
Having issued the instructions to Team Kilo Brainy started to leave the control room.
"Are you going somewhere?" Lex asked.
"Yes. I need to access all the scientific research missions and pull significant amounts of data in order to more accurately pinpoint the location. It will be easier to do that in the server room."
"Let me know what you find." Lex said looking suspiciously at Brainy.
As Brainy walked down the corridor he sent J'onn the coordinates and a text stating.
"J'onn go here ASAP. DEO not far behind. Won't be good if you lose. You will be followed. Don't contact me."
Once sent he deleted the message and set about his task.

J'onn was just applying the finishing touches to his hot chocolate when he saw the text from Brainy. Without thinking he flew to the co-ordinates he had been sent. Landing in the dim dawn light he looked around wondering why Brainy had sent him there. Not seeing anything out of the ordinary he took to the air again and scanned the island from above. He was almost giving up when he saw two bodies lying on the sand. Quickly he flew down and landed before pausing in disbelief.
"She's alive. Barely." Lena said cradling Kara's head in her lap. "You have to get her off the island. If Lex finds her he will kill her." She then offered J'onn the portable hard drive. "This has everything you need to know. Now go. She needs help. She has Kryptonite in her."
Knowing he wouldn't have the energy to fly Kara to safety then come back for Lena he picked them both up and flew upwards, praying he wasn't too late.

"So what do you want to do today?" Kelly asked just a breeze blew threw the apartment and the Flash appeared in front of Alex.
"Hi Alex." Barry greeted. "We need you." With that he grabbed hold of her but then paused. "Where is your phone?"
"Here." Alex said holding it out.
"We don't need that." He said tossing it to one side before taking hold of Alex again as they both disappeared in a blur leaving Kelly worried and confused.
"What is going on?" Alex asked when they finally stopped.
"Kate told me to bring you here." Barry said.
"Here?" Alex asked before recognising the room. "Gotham?" She asked.
"Gotham." Barry confirmed.
"Why?" Alex asked.
"I'm just following instructions. Kate said it was important though. Whatever it is must be bad as she gave strict instructions to ensure we weren't followed and not to bring any phones. She said she didn't want anyone able to find us." Barry said as Luke approached them.
"Thank god you're here. This way." He said leading to the secret entrance of the Bat Cave.
"What's going on?" Alex asked.
"You don't know?" Luke asked.
"Know what?" Alex asked getting frustrated.
"We have some good news and some bad news." Luke said as the elevator started to descend.
"What type of bad news?" Alex asked frowning.
"Best to start with the good news." He said as the door opened. Seeing Kara lying on a table in the Bat Cave, J'onn at her side, Alex sprinted over to her sister.
"Kara?" She asked grabbing her hand. "What's happened to her?"
"She has Kryptonite in her. Lena couldn't get it out." J'onn said as Alex started to test her vitals.
"What can I do?" Barry asked.
"Here, I need this equipment." Alex said quickly scribbling down a list.
"On it." He said disappearing.
"I ran some scans before you got here. The results are here." Luke said pointing to some screens.
As Alex looked at the scans she swore under her breath.
"Problem?" J'onn asked.
"Plenty." Alex replied as Barry zoomed back into the cave.

"It's Lena Friggin Luthor." Mary pointed out.
"I know." Batwoman said.
"Why is Lena Luthor here?"
"She needs your medical expertise."
"I'm serious. She's a fugitive. She murdered Supergirl. We should be handing her to the cops or the feds or whoever arrests billionaire psychopaths."
"Mary, it is more complicated than you think. She didn't murder Supergirl." Batwoman stated.
"If you believe that why is she cuffed to the bed?" Mary asked.
"Like I said, it's complicated. But we need her alive, so please help her."
"Fine." Mary said. "Wait are you staying?"
"Yes. She may be in danger." Batwoman confessed.
"This city keeps getting more weird." Mary said as she started to examine Lena, who was silently watching the exchange.
When Mary grabbed a syringe Lena finally spoke and asked.
"What are you doing?"
"Giving you some pain relief."
"I'm fine." Lena said.
"You have a broken leg. You are not fine."
"I don't want drugs."
"Why?"
"Like she said I'm in danger." Lena said looking at Batwoman.
"Not from me." Mary said ignoring Lena's protest and injecting her.
"What did you give her?"
"Pain relief and a sedative."
"When will she wake up?"
"A couple of hours." Mary said. "Should I have not given her anything?"
"No. It's fine." Batwoman replied annoyed she couldn't ask Lena further questions.

As Eliza stepped through the front door she felt something was different, but couldn't figure out what. As he walked into the lounge a voice said.
"Hello Eliza."
Screaming she spun round to see J'onn.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." The Martian apologised.
"J'onn? What are you doing here." Eliza asked, as her heart continued to thud. "Has something happened to Alex?"
"No. Alex is fine. It's Kara. We've found her. She's alive."
"How?"
"I don't know yet. She was on an island with Lena."
"She's alive?" Eliza said dropping to the couch.
"She is. But she's hurt. Badly hurt. Someone put Kryptonite in her. It looks like it has been in there a while. Alex is trying to remove it, but there's a chance she won't be able to." He explained as gently as possible.
"Where is she?" Eliza asked.
"I'll take you." He said helping Eliza to her feet.

"What did they find?" Lex asked looking more agitated than normal.
"Nothing. According to Team Kilo it was an uninhabited island. There was some evidence of a temporary shelter set up near the beach. Their guess is that it is used by amorous couples. It is only an hours boat ride away from civilisation." Brainy replied.
"Then what caused the energy spike?"
"At first I thought it might me a broken sensor." Brainy said.
"Only several satellites picked it up." Lex said.
"Indeed, so I looked for natural phenomenon that could have caused it and found nothing. This has led me to believe that a foreign power may be using that site as an illegal weapons testing area. I recommend that this is reported to the President and the area is put under greater surveillance." Brainy said.
"Send me you report when ready." Lex said walking away before suddenly turning back.
"Where are J'onn and Alex?"
"I don't know. Shall I ask them to come here?"
"No show me where they are."
"You want me to track their phones?"
"Yes. And don't talk about legality. Just do it."
"Alex is at her apartment and J'onn is at his office."
"How long have they been there?" Lex pressed.
"Alex, since this morning. It would appear she is working from home and J'onn since around seven."
"Let me know if they leave town." Lex said walking away.
