"I have it." Lena said hurrying back into the lab several hours later.

"Finally." Alex said taking it off her and disappearing.

"Where is she going?" Lena asked.

"To give it Kara." Eliza explained as she walked out of the lab.

"Shouldn't we test it first?" Lena asked alarmed as she followed Eliza.

"There's no time." Eliza explained. "Kara's organs have shut down. If we don't use it now, it will be too late."

"How are you going to flush it through her system?" Lena questioned.

"Clark is here. We're using his blood." Eliza said.

"What can I do?" Lena asked as she followed Eliza into Kara's room.

"Just hope and pray." Eliza said watching as Alex set up the equipment.

"It's up to Kara now." Alex eventually said. "We've done all we can do."

"Did your father give any indication of how long it will take to work?" Lena asked.

"No." Alex said.

"I'll be back." Eliza said suddenly disappearing from the room.

"Lizzie?" Jeremiah greeted surprised. Guessing what the visit was about he asked. "Is Kara…?"

"She's alive. Barely." Eliza assured him.

"Thank god." He said. "If I thought that the weapon was still around I would have told you."

"For Alex's sake you had better be telling the truth." Eliza responded.

"I swear to you I am."

"Even if I believe you, which I don't. What else haven't you told us?"

"I was there for over a decade. I can't remember everything." Jeremiah said.

"Well you should start trying. Your latest slip may have cost you Kara and Alex." Eliza pointed out.

"I love both the girls. Everything I have done has been about protecting them."

"Well your protection has left Kara on deaths door." Eliza said.

"I have sat in this cell everyday, telling J'onn and everyone else what they want to know. I have answered every question honestly."

"With holding something like this is as bad as lying." Eliza pointed out.

"What do you want me to tell you?" Jeremiah asked.

"Everything."

"Any change?" Lena asked as she handed Alex a coffee an hour later.

"No." Alex said looking at Kara, her face obscured by a mask.

"Can I get you anything else?" Lena offered.

"No." Alex replied before saying. "I have always doubted you because of your family. But it is my family that is responsible for this."

"I am pretty sure Kara is the only person on this planet who can truly over look the fact I am a Luthor." Lena said. "But regardless, what has happened is work done by my mother and her henchman that is responsible." Lena said before reminding her. "Your father was a prisoner. Who knows what my mother did to him. All we know is your father didn't mention an experiment. But I imagine there were hundreds if not thousands of experiments conducted during his time there. Don't lose faith in him now." As Alex looked at her surprised Lena added. "Don't get me wrong if he is complicit in anyway I will happily put my resources to good use and ensure his final days are worse than anything my mother could have inflicted. But until we have proof Kara would want us to afford him the benefit of the doubt."

Before Alex could respond Kara's heart monitor suddenly showed a spike before Kara started to convulse.

"Kara!" Alex cried as she ran to her sister's side. But no sooner had Kara start to have a seizure she stopped. The sudden cessation of movement causing Alex and Lena to look at the heart monitor in dread. But despite their fears the readout was normal.

Not believing the machine Alex felt for Kara's pulse, checking and double checking, before looking at Lena and saying.

"She's still alive."

Picking up the portable Kryptonite scanner Lena started to run it over Kara before eventually saying.

"No traces of Kryptonite."

"I'll analyse a blood sample." Alex said.

"I'll do that. You stay with Kara." Lena said.

As Alex waited for Kara to wake up she oscillated from pacing up and down the room to sitting by Kara squeezing her hand.

Just when she was beginning to doubt that Kara would ever wake up she saw Kara move.

"Kara?" Alex asked leaning in closer. "Kara? Can you hear me?"

"Lex?" Kara croaked trying to open her eyes.

"Right here. You're okay." Alex soothed.

"Elle?"

"She's fine." Alex promised her. "Adam is with her and we have them under guard. How are you feeling?"

"Can I see her?" Kara asked.

"We just need to make sure all the Kryptonite is gone. As soon as we know it is safe we'll bring them here." Alex assured her. "Until then get some sleep."

"Stay?" Kara said gently squeezing Alex's hand.

"I'm not going anywhere." Alex assured herr as Kara passed out again.

"How is she?" Clark asked as Eliza entered the lamp room he was waiting in.

"Alex and Lena think all the Kryptonite is out of her system. All of the tests have come back negative."

"Apart from me." Clark said. "No offence to Alex, Winn or Lena, but I'm pretty sure I am more sensitive to Kryptonite than their gadgets. I should go in there."

"Are you sure?" Eliza asked.

"Of course. It's the least I can do." Clark smiled.

"Are you feeling okay? You gave up a lot of blood."

"The lamps help and Winn has brought me plenty of food and drink." Clark smiled. "I'll be fine."

"You sure?"

"I am. Something else on your mind?" He asked seeing her frown.

"What are you going to do?" Eliza asked.

"How do you mean?"

"Henshaw probably has more of those bullets. You could be in danger."

"Actually I have a solution." Winn said from the doorway. As the two turned to face him he added. "Not that I was listening. Because that would be wrong, but I was kinda..um...passing….yes passing and I heard you talking and I wanted to tell you I had a...um…."

"Solution?" Clark guessed.

"Yes solution." Winn agreed.

"Which is?" Eliza pressed.

"Right yes. After eight years in the making I have managed to perfect and miniaturise the anti-kryptonite technology that Astra and Non used."

"Lena mentioned you were all working on that." Clark said.

"Yes, well, I have done it and here it is." He said passing a small device to Clark. "It works just like the devices Non and Astra used and while you are wearing it, it should shield you from Kryptonite." He then looked at Eliza and said. "I have one for Kara and Elle as well."

"Nice work." Clark smiled causing Winn to blush.
