The DEO have already been searching for 5 hours before they finally stumbled onto Supergirl's earpiece.

"Director, we've got something !" Vasquez shouted holding the device.

"Okay, we have to split up." J'onn ordered. "Alpha team go West, Bravo team you go East."

"Agent Danvers, you're with me. We are going to fly up the hill and check over there." J'onn informed her taking hold of her before flying off.

"Nothing. It's getting dark and it's freezing cold. We have to find her." Alex said scared for her sister.

"She might have been taken. We have no idea what happened. We have to take a break and get everyone back to the DEO." J'onn said knowing what Alex's reaction will be he added." I will stay here and look for her."

"WE will stay here and look for her. "She emphasized. "I'm not leaving her alone."

"Fine." He said before ordering through his earcom. "Alfa team, Bravo team get back to the base. We're done for today."

"Come on." He said before they continued to walk up the hill.

After three more hours of searching with no results J'onn noticed how weary the agent was and offered. "Okay, that's enough. I will take you back and come back here by myself."

"No. I'd rather freeze to death here that let her down again. If she lost her powers she won't last much longer in this conditions." Alex insisted.

"Listen, I won't-" J'onn started to say before they were approached by a white golden retriver like dog with unearthly blue eyes. To their surprize, it didn't try to attack them. It just kept barking.

"Hi there, how did you get here, huh?" Alex asked getting closer to the animal.

"I think it wants us to follow." J'onn suggested seeing how restless it was.

When they started to trail behind the dog it took to the air leaving them shook. It guided them to the caves but didn't seem to trust them enough cos it used super speed to go back to Kara and crawl back onto her in order to protect her. A few minutes later Alex and J'onn arrived. After Alex saw her sister lying there pale and motionless her heart stopped. The agent hurried to her side but when she reached her hand towards Kara the dog growled at her.

"It's okay. We are here to help her." Alex assured gently. After a moment Krypto let Alex come closer to Kara but he was still standing next to her observing the situation.

"Kara? Kara, can you hear me?" Alex asked gently stroking her cheek and looking for visible injuries.

"Alex?" Kara whispered groggily.

"Yeah I'm here, I'm here. It's going to be okay now." Ale assured her smiling. "Are you hurt?"

"Umm, my arm. I think it's broken."

"Let me see." Alex said before gently rolling up her sleeve. After Kara hissed in pain Krypto immediately started to bark and his eyes started to glow.

"Krypto, stop! It's okay." Kara shouted trying to calm him down. "Zhed nahn bysh."

"Krypto?" J'onn asked appearing next to Kara.

"He's from Krypton." Kara explained looking around."Where is my mom?"

"Eliza? She's in Midvale." The agent said confused about the question.

"No, I mean my birth mom. Where did she go?"Kara asked getting agitated. "She promised she wouldn't leave me."

"You need to take her to the DEO. She's freezing." Alex said turning to J'onn.

"No. I'm not going anywhere until my mom comes back." Kara insisted stubbornly.

"Kara, you're hurt. We need to get you to your sunbed."

"No. I won't leave my mom."

"Alex, can I talk to you?" J'onn asked as Alex covered her sister with her jacket.

"Do you think it's possible Alura has also survived?" J'onn whispered.

"No. I think Kara wants so much for it to be true that she imagined her mother being there." Alex explained looking at her sister and Kypto who laid his head on her torso. "Give me a minute. I will talk to her."

"Okay. I will check the perimeter." J'onn said walking out of the cave.

"How are you feeling?" Alex asked coming back to her sister's side.

"My arm hurts." She confessed.

While Alex started to modify her shirt into an arm brace she was wondering what to say.

"Well, you'll feel better after we get you out of here." Alex assured her while Kara was looking around in hope of seeing her mother.

"I don't get it. She promised not to leave me." Kara muttered to herself.

"Kara, your mom is not here. You are exhausted and freezing. What you saw was not real." Alex explained gently taking her hand and tucking her hair behind her ear.

"No, no you're wrong. She's here, Don't lie to me." Kara said shaking her head.

"Is she ready?" J'onn asked as he came back.

"Come on, Kar. We have to go."

"You can go. I'm staying."

"No, you're not. You need help."

"No, I need my mother." Kara argued as tears filled her eyes. "Just leave me alone."

"You know I can't do that." Alex said before looking at J'onn indicating for him to get her sister out of there. As soon as Kara realized they wouldn't let her stay, she looked at Krypto and spoke in Kryptonian.

"Throniv khap sokao."

The command made Krypto stand in front of her in a protective way and growl.

"Kara, you have to come back. Everyone needs you." Alex tried to convince her.

"Everyone's been coping just fine without me for months." Kara countered sadly.

"I know I have not been there for you lately. But I really need you now." Alex pleaded feeling extremely guilty. When Kara ignored her she decided to try a different tactic."If you agree to come back with us, I promise we'll send a team to look for your mom."

"Okay, but only if Krypto can come back with me." Kara demanded after a few minutes looking between Alex and J'onn.

"You can keep him for now and then we will discuss what to do with him." J'onn agreed after he considered his options."
