A/N: Thank you Anna!


"What's wrong?" Adam asked when he saw Elle frowning at the TV the next morning. Moving next to her, so he could see what she was watching, he sighed. "It's better not to watch." As he turned the TV off he said. "You were the one who told her the world needed Supergirl."

"I know. But I'm scared." Elle confessed.

"She'll be fine." Adam said as he hugged her. Seeing Elle was still preoccupied he asked. "Sure you don't want to go to the birthday party?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to go to the park instead?" He offered.

"Really?" She asked perking up.

"Really."

"Can we get a sticky bun as well?"

"They're not good for you." Adam replied.

"Mom eats them." Elle countered.

"Your mom should know better." Adam said.

"I'd worry less if I had a sticky bun." Elle tried.

"But I'd worry more." Adam countered. "Come on go get your jacket."

"What about grandma Eliza?"

"You tired out her yesterday." Adam said. "So it'll just be us."

"And Krypto."

"And Krypto." He agreed.

As they walked towards the park Adam kept looking round ensuring the DEO squad were still there. His movements were picked up by Elle who pointed out.

"You look like a bad guy doing that."

"And what do you know about bad guys?" He asked amused by her comment.

"Loads. They're always in the movies Alex brings round." Elle said.

"Are they?" Adam asked. "Maybe we need to start controlling what movies Alex watches." He added before gunfire erupted. Turning he saw Henshaw shoot at the DEO Agents. Activating the beacon in his watch he picked up Elle and ran, followed by Krypto. As he sprinted down an alley Henshaw landed in front of them causing Adam to put Elle down behind him.

"Elle, run!" Adam said as he blocked Henshaw's path to her.

"You are inconsequential." Henshaw said firing at Adam and hitting him in the shoulder. As he collapsed to the ground Henshaw added. "Your family will perish." As Henshaw walked towards and then over Adam, Adam kicked at Henshaw making contact with the kneecap as he said.

"No they won't."

The action causing Henshaw to kick him in the ribs before commenting.

"Know they will die bettering our resilience to the alien threat." Before Adam could reply Henshaw aimed a gun at Adam.

"No!" Elle screamed as her eyes glowed moments before heat vision kicked in and she hit Henshaw with a blast of energy. Surprised he stumbled backwards as Elle kept using her heat vision uncontrollably.

"Elle, listen to me." Kara said landing next to her daughter. "It's okay. You're safe. I need you to calm down. Just listen to my heart okay." She said.

"You need to stop her." J'onn warned as he stood by to detain Henshaw.

As Elle's heat vision kept hitting Henshaw Kara stepped in front of her daughter and pulled Elle into her arms ignoring the discomfort caused by the heat vision hitting her. "It's okay. We're all safe." She soothed as Elle started to regain control.

Finally Elle managed to stop her heat vision and clung to Kara before recalling what had happened.

"Dad?" She asked releasing Kara and running over to him.

"Stay back." Adam said as he clung to his shoulder. "There could be Kryptonite."

Taking the device Winn had given her off her uniform, Kara handed it to Elle before approaching Adam. "It's okay I can't sense any." Taking the statement as permission Elle ran to Adam.

"I'm okay." Adam said trying to ignore his pain as he hugged her.

"I'll take him in." J'onn said as he secured the barely conscious Henshaw before flying him away.

As Kara and Elle waited in a room at the DEO, Elle clung to Kara who did her best to comfort her.

Eventually Elle calmed down enough to ask.

"Why wouldn't it stop?"

"Because you don't know how to control it." Kara said. "When I first started getting powers I couldn't control them either and neither could Kal, I mean Clark."

"Did I hurt you?"

"No."

"But I would have hurt dad or Alex. What happens if it starts again?" Elle asked frowning.

"That's why it is important to learn control. All those exercises for your hearing, that you haven't been doing, will help with other powers as well." Kara said. "But you did really well out there. You saved your dad. You were so brave."

"I didn't feel it." Elle said.

"Being brave isn't about feeling brave. It's about doing the right thing no matter how scared you are." Kara said as the door opened. Seeing Alex Kara immediately asked.

"How is he?"

"He'll be fine." Alex said. "But his shoulder is going to be bad for a few weeks and he has a broken rib." She added before looking at Elle. "So he won't be able to carry you for a while." She then knelt down in front of Elle and asked. "How are you doing?"

"Okay." Elle said, her voice full of uncertainty.

"Are you in any pain?"

"No." Elle replied shaking her head. "Can I see dad?"

"Like I could actually stop you." Alex said. "But he is just being tested for residual traces of Kryptonite, then he'll be right in." She then looked at Elle again and asked. "You sure you're okay?"

When Elle silently nodded but didn't look Alex in the eyes Alex said.

"Did you know your mom once set fire to my bed with her heat vision?"

"No." Elle said looking up.

"Then she got really upset and set fire to my wardrobe." Alex went on. "That made her even more upset and she burnt a hole in the wall. Eventually mom came in and managed to get her to calm down. But my room was never the same. What you did today, being able to calm down so quickly and stop the heat vision, that took your mom months to figure out. You did really well out there."

"Didn't feel that way." Elle said.

"Trust me, you did great." Alex smiled as the door opened and Adam walked in.

"Dad!" Elle said charging up to him and hugging him, causing him to wince in pain.
