A/N: Thanks for the comments.

Jennifer Baratta - Thank you.

"Where is it?" Alex asked entering Lena's room.

"What?" Lena asked.

"Lex's hideout. Where he stores all his darkest secrets."

"You really think I am working with him?"

"I think you know more about him than anybody. So where is it?"

"I don't know.

"You must have some ideas. I mean you found Kara."

"That was more luck than skill. I have already giving J'onn a list of every location I know about." Lena said. "But Lex is always one step ahead."

"We have to be missing something. I mean William found out where Kara was in a few days."

"Technically he didn't. He went to one of Lex's labs at which point he was caught in Lex's trap. Lex used one of his transporter devices to take him to Kara and then kill him." Lena pointed out.

"Do you know how his transport tech works?" Alex asked.

"Yes."

"Can you work with Brainy to identify some signature we can search for?"

"That may not be a good idea." Lena said.

"You want him free?"

"You can't begin to imagine the horrors I want him to suffer. I meant working with Brainy." Lena said.

"Why?"

"He was working with Lex."

"We know, it was part of the plan, me investigating from the outside, him from the inside." Alex said.

"He was more inside than you know. He was helping Lex stop Leviathan. He was doing whatever it took to stop Leviathan. And I mean whatever it took. Maybe you know everything and it was part of the plan. But that is not how it looked to me."

"I trust Brainy." Alex said. "And for the record I always said you didn't kill Supergirl." She started to leave before turning back to Lena and saying. "Thank you for saving Kara."

-00-

"Here." Alex said handing Kara a phone.

"Thanks." Kara said. "But I'm not really in the mood to talk to anyone."

"That's not why I gave it to you." Alex said. "I downloaded your music library into it. I thought some background noise might help you sleep."

"Thank you." Kara said.

"I know it doesn't help, but we will get Lex. He will pay for what he did."

"What will happen to Lena?"

"She is not a prisoner here. But if she leaves, how safe it will be I can't say.I mean as far as the world is concerned she murdered Supergirl."

"She saved me."

"I know. But the people don't know that."

"It's not fair." Kara said.

"What happened to you isn't fair." Alex corrected. "And as grateful as I am to Lena for finding you, don't forget she has been helping Lex for weeks."

"He manipulated her. Something he was able to do because of my lies to her." Kara pointed out.

"Lena chose her own path." Alex reminded her. "But speaking of manipulation I saw what Lex said to you. You know I love you?"

"Of course." Kara said.

"I know I am a complete jerk sometimes, but you will always be my sister."

"I know." Kara assured her.

"But there was something he showed you that was real. Your funeral. The reason I didn't go to your funeral is because-"

"You didn't believe I was dead. Kate told me. She also told me you never gave up and that you have been searching for me."

"It wasn't just me. J'onn and Kate searched as well."

"She didn't mention that part." Kara said. "Thank you for not giving up."

"I will never give up on you." Alex assured her. "I'll let you get some sleep."

"Will you stay?" Kara asked. "Just until I'm asleep."

"Of course." Alex said sitting on the temporary bed next to Kara. "Do you want to talk?"

"No."

"Okay. No talking. Just hugging."

-00-

"Any ideas?" Kate asked as she sat with Barry on the roof.

"On how to help her? No. Kara always takes on the weight of the world. I guess we all do."

"I meant how to get Lex, or is going after someone else's nemesis against the rules?" Kate asked.

"There's not really a rule book, more of a code."

"So it's against the code?" Kate asked.

"Kind of. I guess it is like the way vampires can't come into your house unless invited."

"So we're vampires?" Kate asked.

"That's not exactly what I meant." Barry pointed out. "What I meant was it's up to Kara to ask for help. Although I guess technically Lex was more of Clark's nemesis not Kara's so it is a bit of a grey area."

"Okay, but while they figure out who has more rights to go after Lex we could combine resources to make sure everything was in place when she asked." Kate said.

"What do you mean?"

"Lex's argument is there is no real proof. It's all made up. So we need to find proof."

"But what counts as proof?" Barry asked. "He's convinced the world video evidence can be doctored."

"But not DNA evidence."

"Except I know it can be. It was me who confirmed that Kara had died." Barry said, clearly feeling guilty about it.

"It was a clone. There was no way for you to tell it wasn't Kara." Kate said.

"Maybe. But it goes back to my original point, what counts as evidence?"

"Maybe we are looking at this wrongly." Kate said after a moment's silence. "On Kara's original Earth, Lex was a villain. The world hated him. But he still saw himself as a saviour. When he made his deal with the Monitor he shaped this reality so he was the beloved hero he always wanted to be."

"So?" Barry asked.

"What if we forget about evidence that will stand up in court? What if we focus on showing the world Lex's true nature? What if we turn public opinion against him?"

"How?"

"We change the battle ground to social media."

"You want to unfriend him?" Barry asked.

"I was thinking more of a global unfriending."

"After the video leaked he still managed to emerge a hero. We have no idea how to win in that space." Barry pointed out.

"There is one way round that. Mary is the Queen of Social Media. She could fight on that front."

"You don't sound happy with that idea." Barry said.

"If she gets involved it will make her a target. I mean Lex knows who I am. He will know who she is. If she fronts a campaign against him, even without her connection to me I have no doubt Lex would go after her, but her connection to me is going to make that evening more likely."

"You could talk to her." Barry said as his phone buzzed. Seeing the message he said. "Sorry, I have to go. But I'll see what we can dig up."

Alex woke to the feeling of the life being crushed out of her. Opening her eyes she saw blonde hair as her ribs were squeezed.

"Kara?" Alex said, trying to sound calm. Realising Kara was crying she placed her hand on Kara's back and said. "It's okay, but I really need to breathe." When Kara ignored her or didn't hear her Alex said louder. "Kara, need to breathe."

Suddenly realising what she was doing Kara released Alex and moved away at superhuman speed.

"I didn't say no hug." Alex said, enjoying being able to suck oxygen in again.

"I'm sorry." Kara said keeping her distance.

"It's okay." Alex said sitting up. "What happened?" She asked.

"Nightmare. I thought you were dead."

"I'm not." Alex said moving over to Kara. "I'm right here." She said pulling Kara into her arms.

"I'm so stupid." Kara said crying. "It wasn't even real. So why am I so badly effected?"

"Because it seemed real. As far as you are concerned it was real."

"It was just VR."

"No just about it." Alex said. "After dad died Kelly suggested I tried VR. What happened in there, I was so sure it was real and I ended up getting stuck."

"Stuck?" Kara asked.

"I couldn't get out. I mean I didn't want to get out. It was like I just accepted it was real. Kelly came in and tried to free me, but I just dismissed her."

"How did you get free?"

"Kelly kind of sent in a virtual version of a teenage me who made me see it wasn't real. After that I managed to come out. But up until that version of me showed up I was convinced the whole reality was real."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I was too busy trying to apologise." Alex said. "But the point is I know how real VR seems, just because we didn't go through it out here doesn't mean it didn't happen to you."

"You called." Mary said entering Kate's office.

"Yeah. I need your help with something. But if you help it will put you in danger."

"More danger than your psychotic twin trying to kill me?" Mary asked.

"Maybe."

"What exactly do you need?"

"I want to discredit Lex Luthor. Something tells me that you are the best person to do that."

"I don't know Lex." Mary said.

"I know, but I could provide you with the evidence. I mean you have championed causes before and led campaigns against cooperate abuse of power."

"And if I do this you think Lex will take it personally and come after me?"

"Yes. Only I think he'll come after you more because of me."

"What exactly have you done?"

"He just knows I don't sit in team Lex." Kate said. "I know it is a lot to ask and I hate doing it. If you don't' want to I completely get that, but maybe you could give me some pointers."

"No." Mary said.

"Okay." Kate replied trying not to look disappointed.

"I can't give you pointers as let's face it you are completely clueless when it comes to social media. But if you give me the evidence I will make sure it gets out there and everyone sees it."

"You will?"

"Well we're sisters and part of that is helping. The other part is trust and I know I can trust you with anything." Mary said, letting the statement hang, hoping Kate would say something.

"Thanks." Kate said not seeing the hint.
