A/N: Thank you Anna!

"Where's Elle?" Eliza asked the next morning as she looked into the lamp room where Adam and Kara were sleeping.

"With Alex." J'onn explained.

"Does that mean Alex didn't go home?"

"It does. But Elle stopped her working. Last I checked they were both asleep on Alex's temporary bed in her lab."

"Speaking of which, is it really a good idea to have a bed in there? It will only encourage Alex to stay here more." Eliza asked, her tone mildly chastising.

"I put it in because she was staying here anyway. At least this way she gets some sleep. When she pushes herself too far Kara drags her out." J'onn said. "I know it is not ideal, but we are doing everything we can. You know how stubborn she can be."

"I do. And I know you are doing everything you can. I just worry about her." Eliza said as they reached Alex's lab. Peering in they saw Alex was fast asleep, while Elle lay next to her wide awake. When the child saw Eliza and J'onn she carefully climbed out of the bed and silently left the lab.

"Hi Sweetie." Eliza said hugging her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Do you want to go home?" The question earning a vigorous shake of the head.

"When your mom wakes up she is going to be really hungry and she says the food here sucks. So why don't we get her something nice?" Eliza suggested.

"Okay." Elle smiled before looking at J'onn. "Will you come too?"

"I should-" He started to say trying to decline.

"Pleeeeeease?" She pleaded.

"You are your mother's daughter." He grumbled.

-00-

"Hey sleepyhead." Alex smiled as she entered the lamp room. "How are you feeling?"

"Where's Elle?" Kara asked noticing her daughter wasn't with Alex.

"Mom and J'onn have taken her to get you some decent breakfast. They should be back soon, but before then I can run some tests."

"I'm fine." Kara said.

"Well you scared the hell out of us yesterday so today you are a pin cushion." Adam said.

"And you may prefer the tests to the impending interrogation." Alex said.

"What interrogation?" Kara asked confused.

"Elle has plenty of questions for you." Alex explained, but when she saw Kara stare at her blankly she looked at Adam and said. "You didn't tell her?"

"Tell me what?" Kara jumped in.

"Elle knows you are Supergirl." Adam said. "I don't know how long she has known as we've not really had a chance to discuss it."

"Is she okay about it?"

"A little confused but excited about the prospect of potentially flying." Alex said.

"How do you know that?" Adam asked.

"After she escaped from here last night she came and saw me and asked a few questions. Most of which I told her to ask you about, but some she wouldn't take no for an answer. Cat has taught her well."

"Does she resent me?" Kara asked.

"You saw her last night." Adam said. "She doesn't resent you. She loves you."

"But I lied to her."

"We lied to her." Adam corrected.

"The only thing Elle cares about right now is getting you back home. So let me run my tests." Alex said.

"I'll give you some privacy." Adam said kissing Kara goodbye.

-00-

As Adam waited for Alex to finish testing Kara he heard a familiar voice shouting for him moments before Elle collided with him trying to hug him.

"Hey you." He smiled as he bent down and picked her up. "You are getting far to big for this."

"Is mom okay?" Elle asked.

"Alex is just running some tests." He said.

"Can I see her?"

"As soon as Alex is done you can go in. After that I'm going to take you home."

"With mom?"

"That's up to Alex." Adam said. "She needs to make sure mom is one hundred percent recovered."

"We got breakfast for mom to help her feel better." Elle said.

"That's great." Adam smiled as he put her down.

"And J'onn showed me his alien face." Elle said excitedly.

"Did he?" Adam asked looking over to J'onn who just shrugged.

"He can fly too. I want to fly. But I know I can't tell anyone." Elle said sadly as Adam saw Alex waving him in.

"Looks like you can go in if you want." Adam said causing Elle to grin before taking the box of food off J'onn and entering the lamp room.

"How are you doing?" Eliza asked Adam.

"I will be glad when Henshaw is locked away for good." Adam said.

-00-

"Hey." Kara smiled as Elle came back into the room.

"Are you okay?" Elle asked.

"I'm fine."

Not believing her she looked at Alex and asked.

"Is she?"

"Well, she needs lots of rest." Alex said. "Think you can make sure she gets it?"

"Yes."

"Good. You're in charge then." Alex smiled leaving the room. Once she had gone Kara patted the bed next to her and Elle approached the bed and handed her the box.

"We got you breakfast."

"Thank you." Kara said opening the box. "Sticky buns? My favourite." She added as she ate one. Noticing Elle was standing unmoving she asked. "Do you know what would make them taste even better?"

"What?"

"A hug." Kara replied causing Elle to climb up onto the bed and hug her.

"So your dad said you know I'm Supergirl." Kara said. When Elle silently nodded Kara said. "I'm guessing you have some questions?"

When Elle nodded but didn't speak Kara prompted. "You can ask anything."

"Alex said you needed to rest." Elle reminded her.

"I can talk and rest." Kara pointed out as she kissed Elle's head.

"What are the lights for?" Elle asked. The question surprising Kara who took a moment before explaining.

"They mimic the sun and help me recover faster."

"The sun gives you powers?"

"Yes. Where I'm from we had a red sun. The yellow sun of Earth charges my cells and gives me powers." Kara explained.

"And you're from Krypton?" Elle asked.

"Yes. How do you know about Krypton?"

"Everyone knows about Krypton." Elle said looking at Kara like she was stupid before reciting. "When you were twelve Krypton was dying and your parents wanted to save you. So they put you in a pod and sent you here to look after your cousin Clark who was a baby. But your pod got knocked off course and he had grown up by the time you had arrived."

"How do you know that?" Kara asked confused.

"Your Wikipedia page." Elle said before asking. "How did you end up with Alex?"

"My cousin found me and wanted me to have a normal Earth upbringing so asked his friends, Jeremiah and Eliza to look after me. So I went to live with Alex, Jeremiah and Eliza."

When Elle didn't ask anything else Kara asked.

"How long have you known?"

"A while." Elle shrugged before quickly adding. "But not because I used my hearing."

"Then how?"

"You're my mom, it's kinda obvious." Elle pointed out.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Kara said.

"Alex said it was because you wanted me to feel normal." Elle said.

"Ever since I arrived on Earth I knew I was different I have never felt like I fitted in. I was hoping that if you didn't know you might be able to fit in better. Plus you used to get really stressed about keeping secrets and no one can know this one." Kara said. "There are people out there who will hurt you if they find out you are connected to Supergirl."

"J'onn and Alex and grandma Eliza and grandma Cat and dad have already told me." Elle said before falling silent as if thinking. Finally she said. "Dad says Alex has to run some tests on you to make sure you're okay."

"She does."

"But you can come home when she is done?"

"That's up to Alex, but I promise I will home as soon as I can. But in the mean time can you take your dad home and look after him for me?"

"Can't I stay with you?"

"Alex needs to run tests and your dad needs to sleep. I'd feel better if I knew someone was looking after him."

"Okay." Elle agreed.
