A/N: Thanks for the comments.
Jennifer Baratta - Thanks.
"Something on your mind?" J'onn asked as he approached Alex.
"Don't you already know the answer to that?" Alex asked.
"True, but it might help to talk about it." J'onn countered.
"Why do you think he didn't do it?" Alex asked. "I mean reveal Supergirl's identity."
"My guess is when Lena escaped he needed us to help find her. We were too useful to endanger." J'onn replied. "The bigger question is why hasn't he done it now?"
"To blackmail Kara?" Alex suggested.
"That was my first guess too. But it is Lex so there could be more to it than that." J'onn replied.
"What I know is we need to stop him." Alex said.
"We will." J'onn assured her. "How's Kara?"
"I don't know. She seems more like her old self, but she barely sleeps and when she does she has nightmares."
"It will take time."
"I know. After Kryptonite was released into the atmosphere and she was put in the suit it was two weeks before she could sleep through. So much has happened to her I wonder if she will ever be okay."
"She will. She has you." J'onn assured her. "Where is she?"
"With Kelly. She seemed to open up a bit more to Kelly so I left them to it." Alex explained.
"Have you seen your mother?" J'onn asked.
"No. Why has something happened?"
"No. But she was thinking about returning to Midvale with you and Kara."
"Change of scenery could help. But we'll have less protection from Lex." Alex said as she started mentally weighing up the pros and cons. "But we can't hide forever. It's got to be Kara's decision though."
"I agree." J'onn said. "But if she wants to I can take you there whenever you are ready."
"You guys leaving?" Kate asked as she approached them.
"We think Kara would do better in Midvale." Alex said.
"Makes sense." Kate replied.
"Thank you for everything and sorry for being-" Alex started.
"A pain in the ass?" Kate asked.
"That's a charitable description, but yes."
"You're welcome." Kate smiled before asking. "So are you all going?"
"Why?"
"I'd like to borrow Kelly."
"For what?" Alex asked.
"We have a plan to get Lex. Kelly could make that plan more likely to succeed. She won't be in danger and I promise you I will protect her."

"What have you found out?" Lex asked as he sat in his office, the leader of Team Kilo sat opposite.
"So far nothing. The Martian and Alex Danvers seem to have disappeared again. The Martian was definetly in the city a couple of days ago."
"I know that. I saw him." Lex pointed out.
"But there has been no confirmed sightings of Alex Danvers for several days. No phone calls, no credit card purchases. But no one has reported her missing."
"Find them and we find Lena." Lex said. "Continue following Kelly Olsen."
"That could be a problem. She seems to have disappeared too." The man confessed.
"You were picked as you were meant to be the best of the best. Was the test wrong or have you become significantly less able since your promotion?"
"No Sir. I will find them."
"Good. I only tolerate failure once." Lex warned as he stood. "Let's go back to the DEO, maybe Dox can help."
As they walked out of the office Lex saw copies of CatCo magazine in the waiting area. Coming to an abrupt halt he asked. "What is that?"
"It is CatCo magazine. I know some of them it is out of date, but people still seem to read them. Would you like me to remove it?" The PA asked.
"No." Lex said picking it up himself. As he read the headlines on the front page he asked. "How could I be so stupid?"
"Sir?" His specialist agent asked.
"Before this all kicked off Lena was spending a lot of time in Gotham. A place where she and others may have allies."
"Others Sir?"
"Get to Gotham and find out where Lena visited. There is a chance she went back." Lex said handing him the magazine before walking off.

"Hi Sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. All my powers feel normal again." Kara said.
"That's good." Eliza replied. "Is your sleeping getting any better?"
"Hasn't Alex already told you the answer to that?" Kara asked.
"I'd prefer to hear it from you." Eliza said.
"I think nightmares are going to be a constant occurrence." Kara said sadly.
"They'll get better with time. Have faith." Eliza replied. "Being trapped here probably doesn't help."
"Alex gets really grumpy if I suggest leaving." Kara countered.
"She's worried about you." Eliza reminded her. "So am I. So how would you feel about coming back to Midvale for awhile?"
"We can leave?" Kara asked.
"If you want. It's up to you."
-00-
"You okay?" Kelly asked.
"Honestly, I don't know." Alex confessed. "I just feel so helpless."
"Alex, it may not feel like it, but you are helping Kara."
"It definitely doesn't feel like it." Alex confirmed. "It's so easy to say something that causes her to freak out."
"That will improve in time. The important thing is when you do stumble across one of those topics you take time to talk it through with her. Even if she doesn't want to."
"That's easier said than done, she's kinda stubborn."
"So are you." Kelly countered. "You know Kara better than anyone. You know when to push and when not. Just keep following your instinct. And I'm here to help if you need."
"About that." Alex said. "We are going back to Midvale."
"You want me to go back to National City?" Kelly asked not wanting to cramp the sisters.
"No. I'd like you to come to Midvale. But Kate wants you to stay here."
"Kate? Why?"
"She has a plan for getting Lex. She thinks you can help."
"I will do anything to get him." Kelly said. "What's the plan?"
"They are going to wage a social media war on Lex. They are going to try and destroy his reputation. Apparently Mary, Kate's sister, is good at that type of thing." Alex explained. "Kate would like you to use your skills to help shape the messages to have the biggest impact."
"I will do anything to help, but I'm a trauma specialist. Back in college I studied crowd psychology, but that was a long time ago."
"It's still more than the rest of us. But if you don't want to -"
"Alex, I want to help. I'm just worried I won't be much use." Kelly said squeezing her hand. "But I will do everything I can." Sensing Alex's other concern she added. "And I will stay inside and be safe, so don't worry about me."

"You all set?" Kate asked as she approached the sisters.
"We are. Thank you for everything." Alex said.
"It's not like you didn't help me out when I needed a double." Kate shrugged.
"You doubled for Kate?" Kara asked confused. Before her eyes went wide and she asked. "Wait you doubled for Batwoman?"
"What? J'onn doubles for you all the time." Alex pointed out.
"J'onn?" Kate asked.
"Yes. Although less so since she dropped the skirt." Alex pointed out.
"He did like the skirt." Kara agreed.
"J'onn?" Kate asked again unable to picture it.
"Yes." Kara confirmed. "And by the time he gets to his fourth attempt he's pretty good, if you want to borrow him. He was way better as Supergirl me than he was at Kara me though." Kara added.
"I'll pass. Thank you. I take it you are leaving Lena here?"
"Yes, here she will be safe." Kara replied.
"I'll look after her."

"Sir." The Team Kilo leader said entering Lex's office.
"I assume this interruption means you have news?"
"Yes Sir. Agent Cole has just called. J'onn J'onzz has been seen in Gotham."
"Alone?" Lex asked leaning forward.
"No Sir. Cole positively identified Alex Danvers as well. There were two other women but he didn't recognise them. One seemed to being trying to obscure her face." He explained. "I have photos." He said handing Lex a tablet.
"That one is Eliza Danvers." Lex said pointing to the photo taken of them in J'onn's car. "But that one." He said pointing to the other woman. "I can't tell from this picture."
"Do you want us to pursue them?"
"No. Send a report to the, what are they in Gotham, the Ravens?"
"The crows."
"Send a report to the Crows saying Lena is travelling with J'onn. Let them deal with it."
"Yes Sir. And Cole?"
"Keep him on his current assignment."

"Leave it." J'onn said as Alex reached towards the car stereo.
"But-" Alex said.
"This car is like a brother to me. A brother with sensitive ears. It can't cope with your taste in music." J'onn replied.
"What's wrong with my taste?"
"Everything." Kara chipped in. "Although, it does seem to fit nicely with Gotham. Dark and weird."
"There is nothing wrong with my music. It is way better than Brittney."
"What's wrong with Brittney?" Kara asked.
"Everything." Alex replied parroting Kara's words.
"Who is Brittney?" J'onn asked.
"You know. I played her on Mars." Kara said.
"That was Brittney?" J'onn questioned. "Her music was an effective weapon." He commented as sirens sounded behind them. As he pulled over Alex asked.
"Don't suppose you have any weapons stashed here?"
"I'm hoping we won't need them." J'onn said watching the Crows approach the car. "I suggest we don't mention Kate. Let's not draw attention to who we have met with." He then lowered his window and asked.
"Problem officer?"
"We have received information that you are harbouring a fugitive." The Crow said hand on his gun.
"A fugitive?" J'onn asked.
"Yes Sir. I'll need you all to step out of the car."
"Of course." J'onn said slowly getting out of the car.
"All of you will need to get out." The Crow said causing the others to get out.
"Which one of us is meant to be the fugitive?" Alex asked as another looked at her and then a photo.
"Lena Luthor." He said.
"Seriously?" Alex asked.
"I'm just following orders." He said moving onto Eliza.
"What brings you to Gotham?" Another Crow asked as he looked at J'onn's driving licence.
"Family vacation."
"To Gotham?" The Crow asked.
"There's a new exhibit in Parkhurst Galleries." Eliza said as the original Crow compared her to a photograph. "And I'd always wanted to visit Madame Soleil's Wax Museum."
He then moved over to Kara before looking at his photo. After a moment he looked at his partner and shook his head.
"Can you open your trunk please?" The first man asked J'onn.
Nodding J'onn opened the trunk. Seeing it was empty the man said.
"Sorry to take up your time. We'll make sure your plates come off the register."
"Thank you." J'onn said as they all got back in the car.
"Do you think that was Lex's doing?" Eliza asked.
"It may not mean anything. Lex has my plate details. He could have been trying to locate me when we all disappeared." J'onn said. "Saying we were transporting Lena was a good way to get the cops and Crows onside. But now we have been searched and found to not to hiding Lena we shouldn't be disturbed again."
