I'm back from vacation so here is any update!
Lena marched into the DEO on a mission to get Kara back. She was furious that nobody had reached out to her. She walked up to central command but only Winn was there.
"Winn where's Alex?" Lena demanded sternly.
"Lena now is not a good time." Winn said completely dismissing Lena.
"Kara is missing so yes now is a good time." Lena said walking up to Winn's chair and turning it to face her.
"Look we are doing everything we can but we have other issues too. Maggie got injured badly and is in surgery. Alex is a wreck."
Lena immediately softened up for her future sister-in-law, well hopefully once she got Kara back she would pop the question.
"Where is she now?" Lena asked.
"She's in medical, she broke her foot when an alien escaped and Zack is sick so she's by his bed side."
Lena's heart sank for Alex and began to run towards the medical wing no matter how stupid she looked running in her skirt, heels and noisy jewelery. She ran in the room to see Eliza and Alex sitting next to Zack's bed, Zack sleeping.
"Oh Alex I'm so sorry I came as soon as I heard." Lena whispered walking up to Alex and putting her hand on Alex's shoulder.
"Thanks Lena." Alex said the defeat evident in her voice.
"Hey we are going to find Kara. I'm going to go find Winn and we're going to track her tracker and we will come up with something I promise you."
Alex nodded.
"Do you need anything food, water, company?" Lena asked.
"uumm I think I'm okay but thank you Lena. If I need anything I'll let you know." Lena nodded then left to find Winn.
"Winn we need to track Kara's tracker now." Lena said.
Winn looked puzzled, "what do you mean there isn't one on her."
Lena smirked and rummaged through her bang, "I may have placed a tracker in her neck one day when she blew out her powers and was passed out in bed."
Winn looked at Lena in awe but she shrugged it off, "what when you date a super you need to cover everything including knowing where she is at all times."
Lena sat down next two Winn and began typing a way, a few minutes later Lena shouted she founds something. It turned out Kara's tracker stopped an hour outside National City. Winn contacted J'onn who then assembled a strike team. Lena ran to inform Alex of the good news but by the time Lena returned, Alex was cuddled next to Zack asleep. So instead she informed Eliza about the good news then returned to central command
Kara was getting weaker with every teleportation.
"Please stop, I need to rest." Kara begged. The Alien looked at Kara and teleported to what looked like an intergalactic ship. Kara has been in similar ships with her parents back on Krypton.
"Why are we here?" Kara asked looking around. The alien pressed a couple buttons on the dashboard of the ship, a box emerged and the alien put the kryptonite in the box, locked the box and put it back. Kara instantly felt better and was about to attack the alien when he spoke, "I'm sorry Kara Zor-El of Krypton."
Kara looked at the alien confused, "why did you just kidnap me? What do you want and how did you get the kryptonite?"
The alien bowed and sank to his knees submitting himself to Kara, "I am in need of your assistance and did not know how to contact you. I crash landed here and was on food retrieval with my son when he was taken from me." The Alien lifted his shirt to show the bleeding wound, "the creature attacked me and left me defenseless I just want to find my boy and go home I do not mean you any harm and apologize for your discomfort."
Kara's heart broke for the alien.
"You know my name so what shall I call you?" Kara said holding out her hand. The alien stood up and took her hand, "Shelos."
"It is good to meet you Shelos and I forgive you."
Shelos bows, "thank you for your forgiveness. I did not mean for the bench to fly I did not know I could do that. This planet gives me abnormal abilities and I do not have control. As you could tell with jumping around several locations prior to ending up here."
"So that wasn't on purpose?"
"No, I do not know how that ability works. I wish to find my boy as soon as possible. The kryptonite I recovered from a planet my boy and I explored several years back. If you wish to keep it as an act of good faith I am more than willing to comply."
"UUmm maybe later do you have a picture of you and your boy?" Kara asked looking around the ship. Shelos pushed a button and a picture popped up on the screen.
"Oh he is a mini you. Who is the woman?"
Shelos bowed his head, "that was my wife. She died from a plague that ripped through our planet. My son and I were able to escape before we were infected."
"So once you find your boy you want to return back to that planet?" Kara asked.
"No we want to find a planet that we can call home. We were on our way to Venus when we had a technical issue and had to crash land here on Earth. The plague is airborne and will kill us if we return."
"Well when we find your boy we can help you create a life here on Earth if that is something you wish." Shelos thanked Kara for her kindness then a loud bang rang out as the door of the ship exploded off its' hinges. The DEO came in guns blaring headed by Vasquez.
"Vasquez stand down I'm fine. This was a misunderstanding." Kara said stepping in front of Shelos and holding her hands out.
"Winn we have Supergirl and she is safe. Not harmed over." Vasquez said through her comms.
"Weapons down," She commanded to her soldiers than hugged Supergirl and whispered, "it is good to see you."
"Good to see you too. We need to get Shelos back to the DEO. Someone kidnapped his boy and we need to find him."
Vasquez looked at Kara like she had two heads, "who?"
"Shelos," Kara gestured to the alien.
"Oh um okay. What about the kryptonite?"
"It was a false alarm it only looked like kryptonite. It was from another planet." Kara lied to protect Shelos.
"Okay Alpha squad return to vans and head back to base." Vasquez commanded, she didn't believe Kara about the kryptonite but let it go for now. The car ride was quick, silent and very awkward. Vasquez sat across from Shelos and Kara just starring at the two aliens. She tried to engage in conversation but failed miserably. When they returned to the DEO, the first thing Kara did was run to Alex's lab.
"Alex?" Kara said but she wasn't there. Kara went to the medical wing to find Alex and Zack asleep in the hospital bed.
"Oh Alex," Kara thought to herself. Kara knew that Zack was sick but she didn't know how bad, and from the IVs that were stuck in his arm it had to be pretty bad she thought. Then there was Alex who had a cast on her ankle.
"What did she do this time," Kara thought as she used her x-ray vision to inspect Alex's ankle. It wasn't too bad but it did warrant a cast for a few weeks. Dr. Hamilton walked in heavily focused on a medical chart. In the chair in the far corner sat Eliza who was also asleep with a science journal covering her lap.
"Supergirl you're back. Are you injured?" Dr. Hamilton said.
"No I'm okay I was looking for Alex. Can you tell me what happened to them?"
"Well Zack seemed to have contracted an alien version of the flu requiring fluids and antibiotics because his fever got dangerously high. Alex broke her ankle during an alien escape. She went to central command to see the progress with you and it seems her timing was awful. Thankfully she didn't sustain any other injuries and yes we already checked the baby and they are as healthy as can be."
"Oh thank Rao," Kara said with relief but still listened to her niece or nephews heart beat just in case. Dr. Hamilton checked Zack's vitals as well as his temperature. The movement woke Alex, "is his stats improving?"
"Yes Alex his temperature is down to 101. He should wake up in the morning much better."
Alex noticed Kara standing in the corner of the room and went to get out of bed but Kara sped over to her and stopped her from moving with a hug.
"Oh my god I'm so happy that you are okay Kara." Alex said into Kara's neck as a few tears escaped.
"Alex I'm fine, Shelos is actually really nice he was just lost that's all."
"Shelos?" Alex broke the hug and wiped her eyes.
"That's the name of the teleporting alien. He said that his boy was kidnapped and he was looking for him when things went south. His ship broke down on his way to Venus. Alex we have to help him." Kara begged Alex to help Shelos as they all could relate to his story one way or another.
Shelos' story pulled at her heartstrings, as a parent herself she felt for him and knew she had to do everything that she could to help him, "okay fine we will help him but I want to meet him first but before that can you go and find out how Maggie is doing."
"Maggie? What happened to Maggie." Alex's eyes got teary again, damn hormones she thought as she wiped her eyes again. Kara handed Alex a tissue and Alex hesitantly accepted it before she explained, "she got shot during a robbery after you got taken. Dr. Hamilton performed her surgery and said it went well but that must have been a couple hours ago. I would go myself if she didn't confine me to this room and if Zack wasn't half on me asleep." Alex played with Zack's hair trying to distract herself from the emotions raging inside her.
"I'm sure that she will be fine, after all we do have one of the best doctors in the country. I'll go check on her and be right back, do you need anything?" Alex shook her head so Kara sped out the room.
Kara was gone for ten minutes, "Okay Dr. Hamilton said that there was no post complications and that her sedative should be wearing off within the next hour. She also said that you can leave in a half hour as long as your in a wheel chair and somebody is pushing you. She wants you to rest your body not rest it out anymore." Kara said holding out a candy bar to Alex as she ate her own.
Alex sighs, she knows Dr. Hamilton is right but she hates the idea of being confined to a wheel chair. It makes her look weak in front of her agents. There was a big difference between being pregnant and limited in working and being in a wheel chair.
"I know you hate wheel chairs Alex but don't think of it for you, think of it for your little one. Everyone won't think any less of you I promise."
"Kara you know how much I hate wheel chairs."
"I could always carry you if you want," Kara offered.
"Uh no I'll go with the wheel chair over that." Alex said. On the way to Maggie's room they bumped into Shelos.
"Supergirl lovely to see you again. I'm suppose to be finding a human named Winn but I don't know where I am."
"Where is the agent escorting you," Alex said annoyed that he was left alone in the DEO. He wasn't an agent nor a habitant of Earth so he should have been accompanied.
"Director J'onn read my mind and cleared me to find Winn without humans following me around. I understand you want to take precautions but I am not here to harm you I only wish to find my boy."
"I apologize for sounding so rude I'm not accustomed to being confined to this chair."
"It is completely acceptable agent. I can tell how important you are by how everyone acts around you. I respect your protectiveness of your family and friends; it shows you have noble character. Everyone looks up to you and as I see you have a family of your own." Shelos says gesturing to Alex's stomach.
Alex holds her bump and nods, "yes I have a little boy and another on the way."
"Congratulations agent, having a family was of the highest honor on my planet. As our race was dying, offspring did not come easy and only came to those who were deemed worthy. Unfortunately my wife passed away from the disease that plagued our planet so it is just me and my boy."
"I promise you Shelos the DEO will do everything we can to find your boy. Family is important to us and it's not taken lightly. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us."
"Thank your agent, if you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated." Kara gave him directions and were on their way to Maggie's room. Kara parked Alex right next to Maggie's bed and left to keep Zack company. Alex held Maggie's hand and kissed each one of her knuckles.
"God Mags when are we going to catch a break." Alex laughed, "I mean why can't we go at least a year without someone being kidnapped or hurt. Wasn't that the point of me stepping back and you getting promoted? You should have seen Zack this morning, he was crying out in such pain and I felt so useless for the first time and now I'm stuck in this stupid chair." Alex rested her head on Maggie's stomach.
"I wish you would wake up Mags, I can't do this without you and I'm so stressed. I have so many emotions I don't know what to feel or how to act. I'm trying to keep it together I really am but it's hard. I wish I was back home with you snuggled on my right side with Zack asleep on my left and Gertie lying on my lap being the cute guard dog she is. I wish we could be a normal couple that knows when their wife will be home." Alex wipes away the tears.
"Mags I need you to wake up. I can't wait to wake up in the middle of the night to hear you talking to the baby. I don't know if you know I listen but it makes me so happy. You are going to be the best mom to our children and I can't do this without you, I'm not strong enough. I love you. We have so many more firsts to do."
"how long?" Maggie croaked, her throat felt as dry as the desert.
"Mags," Alex's head jumped up.
"How long have you known I talk to the baby?"
Alex laughed, "ever since our date to that Italian place. The tomato sauce gave me heart burn but your voice managed to cure me and put me right to sleep."
"Ever so sappy Danvers. Water?" Maggie asked. Alex gave Maggie a cup of water with a straw. Maggie took a few gulps before lying back in her bed.
"I'm sorry I scared you."
"Oh babe it's not your fault."
"How's Zack feeling?"
"His fever got pretty high so I brought him here for fluids and medicine. Dr. Hamilton looked at him and gave him some antibiotics and said that he should be fine by the morning."
"Thank god I was so nervous leaving him it was hard to concentrate on my work. That was the first time he was sick."
"I know babe, I know. Kara is with him now just in case he wakes up early."
Maggie looks closer and sees the wheel chair and is instantly concerned, "Danvers why are you in a wheel chair? Is everything alright? Is the baby okay?"
"Yea everything is okay. I went to central command to check up on Kara's status but an alien escaped. He did catch me a bit and broke my ankle but Dr. Hamilton already checked on the baby and said that everything was okay."
"Al, babe, I'm so sorry. I think we should have another staycation and confine ourselves to our house." Maggie laughs
"And we can order take out all week long."
"Good try you and I can cook together but you may have to take the reins. I'm not letting our baby eat that much take out. They need nutrients from fruits and veggies."
"Okay mama sounds good, but I say we let my mom stay with us and have her cook." Maggie took her hand out from Alex's and put it on her bump. All of a sudden she felt the baby kick.
"Al was that?" Maggie looked at the bump in awe.
Alex had tears in her eyes and could only nod, she was at a loss for words.
"Wow that's amazing. I've never felt anything like it. Hi baby it's your mama. Oh another one wow." Maggie was in awe by the baby's movements. Alex placed her hands over Maggie's and they sat there saying sweet nothing to each other.
Zack woke up to Kara running her fingers through his hair.
"Super auntie?" Zack said rubbing his knuckles over his eyes.
"Hi little one how are you feeling?"
Zack snuggled closer to Kara, "good. Where's mom and mama? Can I see them?"
Dr. Hamilton came in and took out the IV, "it is good to see you feeling better Zack."
"Thank you Dr. H."
"Kara can bring you to see your moms." Dr. Hamilton said before leaving the room.
Kara stopped Zack right outside Maggie's room, "okay buddy you need to be really careful with your mama because she got hurt working yesterday. She will be okay but be extra extra careful with hugs okay?" Zack nodded.
Kara and Zack walked in to see the two curled together on Maggie's bed, "mom, mama," Zack said smiling. He was so happy to see his moms. Alex lifted Zack onto the bed very carefully and set him on her lap.
"How you feeling baby?" Maggie asked.
"Much better!" Zack said then curled into his moms. They were both so happy to have him back in good health.
"Super auntie says you are hurt?" Zack looks to them in concern.
"Mama hurt her shoulder and I hurt my ankle but we are okay." Zack kisses both of them and snuggles further into their embrace.
"I love you moms." Zack says as he starts to doze off again. Maggie is right behind him with her eyes closed.
"I love you all so very very much," Alex says. Maggie hums in response too far gone to say any actual words.
"Hey Kara?" Alex whispers. Kara moves close to Alex, "yeah?"
"Can you go check on Shelos, Winn, and Lena to see where they are at then let me know so we can come up with a plan." Kara nodded and was out the door faster than a cheetah. Alex moved the blanket higher completely covering both before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
