A/N: Thanks for the comments.

Jennifer Baratta - Thanks!

"You're up early." Eliza said joining Alex on the porch.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Alex asked.

"No." Eliza said sitting next to her eldest and handing her a coffee. "So why aren't you sleeping?"

"Guilt."

"About?" Eliza asked.

"Letting Kara down, letting you down."

"I remember it was you who refused to accept that Kara was dead." Eliza said. "It was you who kept looking."

"In the wrong place. I spent my time drinking, not looking." Alex said. "But it's not just that. After dad died I did what I always did and lashed out at Kara. If I hadn't maybe she would have told me where she was going that night. I could have had her back. I could have stopped her being taken."

"Or Lex would have killed you to prove a point." Eliza countered. "Alex, no matter what you said I know that Kara doesn't hold anything you said against you."

"She should." Alex said bitterly. "And now the time she needs me most I can't do anything."

"What do you mean?"

"I thought if I stopped Lex it would give her peace. Only she doesn't want to stop Lex because she is terrified of what he'll do to us."

"I know you want to stop Lex. So do I. But what Kara needs more than anything right now is her big sister. You have always managed to help her, long before you joined the DEO." Eliza reminded her as the door opened.

"Hey Sweetie." Eliza said seeing Kara.

"Sorry, should I go?" Kara offered sensing she was interrupting something.

"No. You two need to talk. I'll go make some breakfast." Eliza said going inside.

As Kara sat next to Alex, the elder sister said. "Sorry."

"For what?" Kara asked confused.

"I didn't want you to wake up alone. I was going to come back inside."

"It's okay." Kara said. "Besides it's probably safer not to be around when I wake up." She added looking sheepish.

"Another nightmare induced scorch mark?" Alex guessed.

"Yes." Kara confessed.

"I'll fix it later." Alex said wrapping an arm round her.

"I've been thinking and there is a way." Kara said after a few moments.

"What?" Alex asked confused.

"There's a way to stop Lex. William never trusted Lex and has been compiling, I wouldn't exactly call it evidence, but that type of thing to use against him. He was almost ready to publish. I have access to his research. I could write the story instead."

"I thought you didn't want to take Lex on?" Alex asked pulling away.

"Part of me doesn't because of what it will mean for you. But you were right if nothing changes you will still be in danger because of him."

"Sir we think we have found the source of the smear campaign." A suited man said entering Lex's office.

"Who is it?"

"We don't know who, but we know where."

"Then where is it?" Lex asked.

"Gotham." The man said.

"Get my jet ready." Lex ordered as he stood.

"Where are you going?"

"Gotham of course. It's time to reunite the team."

"Team Sir?" The man asked.

"Someday I will tell the world about it. But today I have bigger concerns." Lex smiled.

"Are you sure you are okay with me doing this?" Kara asked once she had finished her article.

"Of course." Alex said. "Lex needs to be stopped. But how exactly are you going to do it?"

"I had Nia tell Andrea that I was alive and that I had been undercover working on a story."

"What did she say?"

"That I was fired." Kara said. "But then Nia told Andrea that I had been working with William."

"And Andrea bought that?"

"Not to start with but when Nia said Lex really had killed William and I had faked my death to stay safe she became more open minded."

"And you trust her?"

"Well according to Nia, Brainy said Lex doesn't know that this story is coming. So at least Andrea didn't tell Lex. But if she does stop the article then we just release it on line."

"That didn't go so well for you last time." Alex reminded her.

"Well seeing everyone thinks I am dead I'm not sure they can fire me. And I'm still not sure if Andrea would take me back anyway." Kara said. "But will you read this and make sure it is okay?"

"Sure." Alex said moving to in front of the screen. As she started to read Kara nervously paced. "It'd be easier to read if you sat still." Alex pointed out.

"Sorry, I just always forget how slow you are at reading. I mean not you specifically. Humans in general." She said. "You know I'm going to go talk to Eliza." She added leaving Alex in peace.

"You okay?" Eliza asked when Kara entered the kitchen. "You want some food?"

"I'm not hungry." Kara said.

"Words that worry me." Eliza commented.

"I'm okay. And I did eat a huge breakfast."

"That doesn't normally stop you." Eliza countered.

"I know. But I guess I am not burning as many calories now I am not using my powers."

"Well there is plenty of housework to do if you do want to use your powers."

"Didn't you call that Kryptonian exploitation when Alex made me do that growing up?" Kara asked.

"That was when Alex made you do her chores." Eliza countered as she stood and started looking through the cupboards.

"What are you doing?" Kara asked.

"Well if your appetite is hiding, maybe we should entice it out with chocolate pecan pie?" She said putting the ingredients on the side.

"It is the best pie in the Galaxy." Kara smiled.

"Do you want to help make it?" Eliza asked.

"No. I want it to taste nice. But I'll tidy up afterwards." She offered as Alex entered the kitchen. "Well?" Kara asked.

"You are still terrible at spelling." Alex said. "But it's a good article."

"Hey again." Barry said skidding to a stop in front of Kelly.

"Is Alex okay?" Kelly immediately asked.

"She's fine. I think. I mean I've not heard. So I assume she is fine. I'm actually here for you." He said grabbing hold of her and speeding off.

"What just happened?" Kelly asked as she tried to regain her balance. "Where are we?"

"This is STAR labs, in Central City." Barry said.

"Why am I here?"

"Kate asked me to bring you. Apparently Lex is on his way to Gotham."

"What about Lena?" Kelly asked.

"Already here." Barry said pointing to the Luthor in the corner. As Kelly looked round she realised there were others in the lab.

"This is Caitlin and Cisco." He explained.

"Hi." They waved.

"So we hide here?" Kelly asked.

"Well Kate was hoping you could continue your work from here." Barry said.

"We have far better facilities." Cisco said. "And we can give you any help you need."

"You may be the Paragon of Courage, but you are definitely not the Paragon of security. I expected more. I mean I just walked straight in." Lex said as he stepped into Kate's office.

"Out of all the psychopaths that have walked into this building you are by far my least favourite." Kate said looking up.

"That hurts. Especially after all we went through. We're team mates. We saved the Universe together."

"You and I have a different recollection of that." Kate said. "Why are you here?"

"Can't I want to catch up? To bond over old times?"

"You always have an agenda." Kate pointed out.

"Like it or not we created this universe together. It needs us all to work as one."

"Then why kill Supergirl?" Kate asked.

"That was Lena." Lex reminded her. "I can't control her."

"So Lena is more powerful than the universe?" Kate asked.

"Cute." Lex said. "But although you may have a low opinion of me, Lena is far worse than I am. I don't lie about who I am-"

"Yes you do. You claim to be humanity's saviour." Kate pointed out.

"And I am. This world exists because of me."

"I thought you said that was a team thing?" Kate asked.

"Well you can't have a team without me." Lex replied.

"I'm busy. Why are you here?"

"Lena is dangerous. You don't want to trust me that is fine. But Lena is far more capable of evil than I am. If you don't believe me, next time you see her ask how her mother died. But I digress. I still feel sentimental about all we achieved together so I just came to warn you that Lena can't be trusted and she is in Gotham."

"Well if I see her I'll call my dad." Kate said.
