"You sure you want to do this J'onn?" Kara asked as they stood in the oval office, preparing to meet with President Marsdin, since Kara was relieved to find out that she was still in power, though she was disappointed to learn that Baker was still her vice president. She'd need to change that soon.
"Yes, if I don't, the truth will eventually come out in a much less favorable way. But you didn't have to come along." J'onn said.
"I figure Marsdin is more likely to listen to you if Supergirl is willing to back you up, since even though I haven't been active long, I've already become one of America's golden girls." Kara said and J'onn nodded his agreement as President Marsdin entered the room.
"Thank you for waiting Director Henshaw. And you must be Supergirl." Marsdin said with a kind smile.
"Yes ma'am. It's an honor to meet you." Supergirl said, shaking hands with the president and fangirling inside.
"The honor is all mine." Olivia said with a smile as she turned to face J'onn.
"Thank you for taking the time to meet with me." J'onn said.
"Of course. So, what can I do for you?" Marsdin asked.
"There is something I have been keeping secret for a long time. Something that needs to be revealed." J'onn said.
"Okay, and what might that be?" Marsdin asked, only to be shocked when J'onn changed to his martian form.
"You're not Hank Henshaw." Olivia said as J'onn returned to his human form.
"No, I am not. I am a refugee on this planet that Henshaw attempted to kill. Another DEO agent, Jeremiah Danvers, gave his life to save mine." J'onn said.
"Why would he do that?" Marsdin asked.
"Henshaw was not a good man. He thought that every alien on this planet was a threat and pursued and killed every alien the DEO came across, not just threats. I took his appearance so that I could reform the DEO to it's true purpose." J'onn said.
"What is your real name?" Marsdin asked.
"My name is J'onn J'onzz. I am the last son of Mars." J'onn said.
"And both Superman and myself can confirm that he didn't come here with hostile intentions." Supergirl was quick to assure her.
"You and your cousin both trust him?" Marsdin asked.
"We do." Supergirl assured her.
"Well, you have done nothing but protect this planet since you took over the DEO. So, I will grant a pardon, on the condition that you resign from the DEO to restore some integrity." Marsdin said.
"I was already planning on resigning from the DEO after this talk and I've already selected my replacement. Alex Danvers, she was my right hand." J'onn said and Marsdin nodded.
"From what I've seen, Agent Danvers is a very good choice." Marsdin said.
"I'll be sure to her you said that." J'onn said.
"Will that be all?" Marsdin asked.
"Actually, I was actually hoping to accomplish one more thing." Supergirl said.
"Really, what?" Marsdin asked.
"A super selfie?" Supergirl asked as she pulled out her phone and Marsdin laughed.
"Of course. See if you can get your cousin to take one with me to." Marsdin said and Supergirl laughed now.
"I'll see what I can do." Supergirl said as she walked up to the president and took a selfie.
"Thank you." Supergirl said happily before she flew out of the building, J'onn flying after her.
"Supergirl." J'onn said to her as they flew towards National City.
"What?" Supergirl asked him.
"Think we can make a stop before going back to National City?" J'onn asked.
"Depends, where?" Kara asked.
"The fortress of Solitude." J'onn said as they stopped in the air.
"Why?" Kara asked.
"I want to make peace with Mal before we go to Mars. He should be going with us and he can remain behind to help end the war if he wants." J'onn said and Kara nodded.
"Let's go." Kara said as they changed directions towards the Fortress of Solitude.
When they arrived at the fortress, Kara led J'onn over to the phantom zone projector.
"I'm surprised you haven't hacked the DEO transmitters to search for Argo yet?" J'onn asked with a smile.
"I've got Kelex tapped into every satellite on the planet, searching for Argo. Not just the DEO." Kara said and J'onn chuckled, not even that surprised.
"How long do you think it'll take to find it?" J'onn asked, and Kara knew that he wanted to add if it even existed in this universe, but he wisely kept his mouth shut about that.
"As long as it takes. I gave up hope once of ever seeing my family again and it turns out I was wrong. So, I don't care how long it takes, but I know that Argo is out there and I'm going to find it. For more reasons than one." Kara said.
"Kara, I don't need to read your mind to know that you're thinking of Ray when you say that." J'onn said and Kara sighed.
"Do you really think any hero expects to go on forever? I don't. I know that one day, the time will come for me to pass on my cape. Argo is my chance at having a normal life after that. I can settle down, live a life without powers, where I can grow old with the man I love. I can't give up on that." Kara said and J'onn smiled.
"Don't worry, I get it." J'onn assured her as they arrived at the projector.
"So, any idea on how to pinpoint where Malefic is so that we don't end up unleashing everyone in the Phantom Zone that wasn't on Fort Rozz." Kara said and J'onn chuckled.
"Don't worry about that. However, I would recommend putting this place on lockdown to keep Malefic from escaping once I release him." J'onn said.
"Good thing Clark told me that he actually designed a martian protocol for this place." Kara said.
"What?" J'onn asked.
"Just like how you kept kryptonite at the DEO in case he got out of control, Clark created a containment protocol here for you in case you ever became a threat." Kara explained.
"Guess he really didn't trust me." J'onn said.
"You didn't trust him either. Only seems fair that he'd put a failsafe in place for you." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
"Kelex." Kara called out as the robot hovered down.
"How may I assist you Lady Kara?" Kelex asked.
"Activate Martian protocol, put this place on lockdown." Kara said.
"As you wish." Kelex said as the door to the fortress sealed itself.
"Martian protocol activated." Kelex said.
"Great. Now, let's do this." Kara said as she nodded at J'onn, who nodded back at her and turned on the projector.
