A/N: Thank you for the comments.
Guest (1) - It was a lot more upbeat than I was expecting...all in all nothing that bad happened. Hopefully next season Supergirl can emerge from the darkness of S3 and return to the upbeat nature of season 1.
Guest (2) - Thanks!
Guest (3) - That's probably overstating it a little. To be honest I've kind of lost my mojo a little and none of the new stories are working out. I was hoping seeing the season finale would spark something, but that hasn't really happened. So there may be a longer story to come, but I doubt it will be that long and I'm not sure when it will be.
Guest (4) - It will be interesting to see if they make the new Kara an evil twin or just a different version of Kara with both good and bad points.
Guest (5) - Thanks for the ideas, but as stated above nothing is really flowing for me at the moment so I doubt I will be writing a Season 4 variant (any time soon at least). My speculation (wild and based on nothing other than too much coffee) is Lena's and Eve's experiments on the rock will backfire and an evil Eve will be created.
Alliedstasis - The Alura - Cat dynamic seemed so different from everything else it was hard to ignore. I will try to include more of it in later chapters.
"Hello Adam." Lena greeted as she entered the house.
"Hey Lena." Adam nodded. "They are just out walking Krypto, they'll be back soon."
"I'm a little early." Lena confessed. "I've learned it is best not to disappoint Elle."
"She's definitely developing mom's withering stare." Adam agreed. "But I'm glad you are here early as I have something I want to discuss."
"Sound ominous." Lena said. "What is it?"
"So Elle said something the other day that implied someone is encouraging her to use her Superhearing." Adam said.
"Isn't that against the rules you and Kara lay out?" Lena asked.
"It is." Adam said looking at Lena.
"Has she said who is encouraging this despicable rule breaking?"
"Not yet. But I'm sure she will. I was just hoping the person responsible comes clean before Elle implicates them."
"I see." Lena said. "But I do have a question."
"What's that?"
"Do you want to explain to Kara why you accused her best friend of exploiting her daughter when you have no evidence?" Lena asked.
"No." Adam said.
"Then perhaps you should remember that I own L-Corp, which has several technology divisions. If I wanted to know what people were saying I would just use some L-Corp tech." Lena said. "Unlike some people, like….your mother for example, who don't have access to such technology, but still like to know everything."
"You never denied using Elle." Adam pointed out.
"You never actually accused me." Lena countered as the door opened.
"Lena!" Elle said enthusiastically as she hugged her.
"Hello Elle." Lena replied. "You ready to go?"
"Yes."
"Be good and don't do anything you think is wrong." Adam said to Elle.
"She's seven." Kara pointed out. "It's our job to say what is wrong."
"Well I think she might have better judgement than some." Adam said looking at Lena.
"What is it with your family and paranoia? You are worse than your mother." Lena said.
"Have I missed something?" Kara asked.
"We were just discussing who might have asked Elle to use her Superhearing." Adam explained.
"And why it is wrong to accuse without evidence." Lena said.
"Which is different from falsely accusing." Adam added.
"But rather than rehashing the debate I will take Elle. I will see you both later."
"Have fun." Kara said hugging Elle.
"No sugar." Adam warned.
"Are you always this much of a killjoy?" Lena asked as she led Elle from the house.
"What was that about?" Kara asked Adam after they had gone.
"Just trying to see who is exploiting our daughter this week. I am pretty certain it is either mom or Lena." Adam said before asking. "Where's your mother."
"J'onn is showing her round."
"And Alex is with Maggie?" He asked stepping towards Kara and taking her hand.
"She is." Kara agreed.
"So it's just us?"
"It is." She replied as Adam leaned down and kiss her.
As they started to lose themselves to each other they heard an apology from across the room.
"Mom?" Kara asked pulling out of Adam's arms.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." Alura said backing out of the room.
"I didn't think you'd be back yet." Kara said.
"I assumed as much." Alura replied. "I will give you some space." She said leaving the room.
"I should go talk to her." Kara said leaning against Adam who kissed the top of her head and said. "I'll finish fixing Elle's bike."

"Morning." Alex said as she walked into the kitchen, grabbed a fork and sat next to Elle before she took a pancake off her plate.
"Hey!" Elle protested.
"You don't want me to starve do you?" Alex asked.
"No." Elle conceded.
"Maggie still feeding you plain bagels?" Adam asked amused.
"Plain would be an improvement. They have a weird green spread on."
"Avocado?" Adam guessed.
"Who knows." Alex shrugged.
"And where does Maggie think you are now?"
"Here. Maybe not eating, but here." She said reaching out to take another pancake off Elle's plate only to have Elle move the plate away from her. Unfortunately for Elle she moved it closer to Kara and lost a pancake anyway.
"You two are shameless." Adam said giving Elle some more pancakes as Alura entered the kitchen.
"Good morning." She greeted as Elle took her plate and moved to far side of the table away from all Kryptonians and Alex.
"Morning." Alex smiled before asking. "More sight seeing planned today?"
"No, I think I will have a day off." She said before looking at Adam and Kara. "Perhaps you will allow me to cook tonight." Alura suggested. "It is the least I can do, especially after yesterday."
"What happened yesterday?" Elle asked innocently.
"Nothing." Adam said. "Finish your breakfast before the evil twins steal it."
"Can you cook?" Alex asked.
"Has Kara said I can't?" Alura asked.
"No. It's just that Kara's cooking is so bad we assumed cooking wasn't done on Krypton." Adam said. "That maybe there were robots or something to do the cooking."
"There were robots, but none that you would trust to cook decent meal." Alura said before explaining. "I'm afraid Kara inherited her culinary skills from her father. We almost lost several friends to his cooking."
"Wait dad poisoned people?" Kara asked.
"No. The food tasted so bad they assumed he no longer wanted them in his life." Alura explained.
"So you have a genetic reason." Adam said to Kara before looking at Alex and asking. "Still don't know what your excuse is."
"Perhaps I was more focused on school and life skills."
"Cooking is a life skill. Ordering take out isn't." Adam countered.
"Kinda debatable." Kara said as Alex shrugged before looking at Elle.
"You ready to learn some real skills?"
"Yes." Elle said excitedly.
"Let's go then." Alex said.
"What life skills today?" Adam asked suspiciously.
"You'd be happier not knowing." Alex said.
"That doesn't make me feel better." Adam pointed out.
"I'll be fine." Elle said hugging her father goodbye. "Alex got to practice on mom and she's fine."
"What life skills is she teaching Elle?" Alura asked sharing Adam's concern.
"Karate." Adam said. "A style of fighting."
"To a seven year old?"
"It helps her learn control and Elle may not be safe." Kara said.
"What do you mean?"
"There was an organisation that wanted to get rid of all aliens. We fought them for years and when I was pregnant they took me. We thought we got rid of them, but a few weeks ago they came after Elle. Hank Henshaw, the original Hank Henshaw shot Adam and that's when Elle's heat vision came out." Kara explained.
"She saved me and herself, but became terrified of her powers." Adam added.
"And this Henshaw?" Alura asked.
"Captured, but won't tell us anything." Kara explained.
"But the way he spoke made it sound like he wasn't working alone." Adam said.
"So Alex keeps training Elle, whilst I try to figure out who is after us." Kara said. "It's where being a reporter comes in useful."
"Isn't it dangerous for you to investigate?" Alura asked.
"Not as dangerous as doing nothing." Kara pointed out.
"Can I help in your search?" Alura asked. "I am capable of research."
"Are you sure?" Kara asked.
"Of course." Alura said.
"Okay. I'll take you to the DEO and fill you in on everything else."
"Everything else?" Alura asked concerned.
"It could be a long day." Kara said.
