Alliedstasis - There's a physical issue causing Kara's hallucinations. It'll be revealed soon.

Entering the restaurant Alex saw her sister sitting down at the table, not paying attention to her surroundings. Coming closer she noticed Kara fiddling with her mother's necklace.

"Hey." Alex greeted sitting opposite to Kara.

After Kara acknowledged her sister's presence she let go of the necklace and a fake smile appeared on her face. "Oh, hey."

"Sorry I'm late. Putting the collar on Krypto's not been easy." Alex explained trying to cheer her sister up.

"Yeah, he's already been stubborn back on Krypton when he was a puppy." Kara confessed smiling. But there was saddness in her eyes which deepened every time she was remembering her dead planet.

"Did it happen again?" Alex asked taking her sister's hand.

"No, no I didn't see my mom today." Kara said and technically that was the truth. She didn't want anyone to think she was crazy. Maybe that was it. She was hoping it wouldn't happen again, but a part of her also wanted it to happen. To reunite with her family, her friends. She was brought back to reality by her sister's voice.

"Kara?"

"What?" She said chastising herself for spacing out.

"I asked what you want to eat."

"Oh, I've eaten plenty already. Just go for something you like." Kara lied not feeling like eating after what she'd seen.

"Kara, are you sure you're okay? Alex asked seeing through her. "You seem different."

"Yeah, just looking forward to getting my powers back." Kara whispered.

"I'm sure it won't be long now. And until then, we get to hang out together." The agent smiled standing up and heading toward the counter, leaving no place for Kara to argue.

"Lena?" Kara asked as her friend approached the table.

"Hey. James told me you'd be here." Lena smiled.

"Do you need something?"

"No. Well, yes. I need you to let me make up to you for being such a bad friend lately." Lena explained looking guilty.

"What are you talking about?" Kara asked confused.

"We've barely talked since your accident. That's not how a good friend should act." Lena said shaking her head.

"It's not your fault. You've been busy." Kara shrugged.

"I still want to compensate for that. And that's why I have a story for you to run." Lena proposed before specifying. "My friend would like to share his research on Power System Stability and Control. It looks really promising and you'd be the first reporter to interview him."

"Really? That's great. You're saving my life." Kara said standing up and hugging her friend.

"That's no big deal." Lena said hugging her back. "Listen, I have to go but I'll call you later and let you know when he wants to meet up, okay?"

"Sure. Thank you so much."

"It's the least I could do. I'll see you soon." Lena said before leaving.

"What was that about?" Alex asked as she came back with the food.

"Lena's the story for me."

"That's great! So are you in the mood for celebratory chicken wings?" Alex asked trying to get Kara to eat something.

"We can have takeout tonight for dinner."

"I have your word on that." Alex warned pointing a finger at her sister.

"Yeah, yeah just eat your food unless you wanna be late for work."

"Right." Alex said as she started to eat her fries. "So, what time do you get off today?

"Well, according to my boss I'm useless right now." Kara explained pointing at her broken arm. "So I'll probably go home to Krypto."

"Actually, Krypto is at the DEO. J'onn'd insisted to check for himself if the collar's working properly. I can take you to him." Alex offered.

"No, that's fine." Kara said afraid that they'd witness her craziness.

"And we can check you out while we're there. You look a little pale." Alex said looking at her with concern.

"Alex, I'm fine." Kara assured her but when she saw how worried her sister was she finally agreed. "Fine, but no needles."

"Everything seems normal but you're running a slight fever." Alex said checking the monitors.

"I feel fine." Kara assured anxious to get home. "Are you done?"

"Yeah, but you should lay in your sunbed for a couple of hours." Alex suggested gently. When Kara was about to refuse she tried. "Please?"

"Okay. But only one hour and Krypto can lay with me." Kara insisted.

"Fine. But if J'onn asks it was your idea." The agent ordered detaching her sister from the monitors.

Lying under the emitters Kara finally started to relax. She felt safe with Krypto resting next to her, his head on her torso and Alex nearby. Her alarm was set to go off in an hour, so she let herself close her eyes and fall asleep.

"Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." Winn apologized when he saw Kara open her eyes. "Krypto's been running around the room for the last ten minutes. I thought he could use a walk."

"That's okay. I'll take him." Kara smiled getting off her bed and looking around.

"Did you lose something?" Winn asked petting the dog.

"My phone. It was sitting on that desk." Kara said pointing at the furniture.

"Oh, I think Alex'd taken it. She wanted to call Maggie and hers is broken." Winn explained before offering. "I can take him if you want to rest more. My shift is almost done anyway."

"Aren't you supposed to be here till five?"

"Yeah. It's almost five." Winn said pointing at his watch.

"I've been sleeping for four hours? Why did nobody wake me?" She asked afraid of what might happen soon. When she saw Winn looking guilty she guessed. "Alex didn't need to call Maggie. She told you to say so."

"What? No, no she wouldn't do that." Winn defended not meeting her eyes. "She's just worried about you."

"That's fine, but I really have to go now." Kara said taking Krypto by his leash.

"Kara, wait." Winn exclaimed rushing after her. "Do you want to talk? You know, we used to be best frends."

"I'm sorry. We still are, but it's just something I can't talk about." Kara explained looking at the floor.

"You can't, or you don't want to ?" Winn asked but Kara didn't look up to meet his eyes. "Kara, I promise I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to. But everyone can see something is bothering you."

"I don't want you to think that I'm crazy." She finally admitted.

"I'd never think that." Winn assured her waiting for her to talk to him.

"I have these..visions. I can see things, people. At the beginning it was just my mom, but then, then I started to see more. I felt like, like I was on Krypton again. It was so real, but I knew it couldn't be. I don't know what's happening." Kara confessed not being able to hold it in any longer.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Winn asked perplexed.

"I didn't want anyone to think that I'm crazy." Kara sadly confessed. "And you have to promise you won't tell anyone either."

"I will if you agree to let me know if it happens again." Winn reluctantly agreed.

"Yeah, yes I promise."

"Hey." Alex greeted entering Kara's apartment later that night, carrying take out.

"Alex, why are you here. I told you I'm fine." Kara said tired of Alex neglecting her relationship to be with her.

"I know. But you'd also promised before that we'd have dinner together. Besides, you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to give you your phone back."

"If you hadn't stolen it, you wouldn't have to return it to me." Kara said looking at her accusingly.

"Blame Krypto, not me." Alex tried to defend.

As the evening progressed and nothing strange happened, Kara was relieved.

"Alex, you should go to bed. You have to get up early." Kara reminded her when she noticed how exhausted her sister looked.

"We both should." Alex said taking the remote and turning the TV off and standing up, pulling her sister up with her.

After Kara laid down and started to make herself comfortable, Krypto rushed to her side before Alex could even come out of the bathroom. But after she finally did and was trying to lay down on the other side, Krypto started to growl.

"Don't tell me you're jealous." Alex asked in disbelief.

"Just come over here, so you don't have to be next to each other." Kara suggested scootching to the middle to make some space for her sister.

"I've never thought I'd have to compete with a dog." Alex muttered walking to the other side.

"He'll warm up to you. Just give him more time."

"It's not him I'm worried about." Alex countered.

"Let's just go to sleep. We can work on that tomorrow." Kara suggested feeling tired.

"Fine." Alex agreed as they were lying under the comforter. Ten minutes later Alex was fast asleep, snuggled up next to Kara and Krypto curled up in a ball on her other side. But Kara couldn't bring herself to sleep. After an hour'd past and she was still lying wide awake, staring at the ceiling she decided to make herself some tee. She carefully got out of bed and made sure Alex was tucked in before going to the kitchen. As she was waiting for the water to heat up, she heard someone walking in her apartment. Looking around she saw no one there. Assuming it was her mind playing tricks on her, she went back to preparing her tee.

"Kara." She jumped when she suddenly heard someone call her name. She was afraid to turn around so she closed her eyes and wished for it to go away. But as she was standing still, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Opening her eyes she saw her mother standing in front of her.

"Mom." She said pulling her in a hug. "Are you really here now?"

"I'd promised I'd not leave you alone." Alura reminded her hugging her back.

"But, where have you been all this time? Kara asked confused and overwhelmed.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here with you now and I want to show you something." Alura said taking Kara's hand and guiding her to the door. Kara hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should wake her sister up, but she was afraid that her mother'd leave her once again if she refused to go with her.

"What do you want to show me?" Kara asked curious when her mom guided them to the roof.

"Just see for yourself." Alura said before they found themselves back on Krypton. But this time it was Kara's apartment. Everything looked exactly the same. Her bedroom where her mom used to read her stories before sleep, the leaving room where they all gathered to spend time with each other and her parents' bedroom where she used to go and climb up their bed when she had a nightmare. It was all so real.

Meanwhile Alex's peaceful sleep was interrupted by Krypto's constant barking.

"Kara. Could you please shut him up?" Alex asked groggily without opening her eyes.

"I swear if you-" Alex started to say before she opened her eyes and noticed Kara was not lying next to her.

"Kara?" She said louder hoping her sister'd show herself. When she didn't answer Alex began to worry. She pulled the covers down and started to look around the apartment.

"Kara? Where are you?" She asked her worry now turned into full blown panic. When Krypto appeared next to her, she removed his collar and ordered.

"Krypto, where is Kara. Can you hear her hearbeat?" Alex asked hoping for the dog to listen to her. A second later Krypto started to bark at the door. After Alex opened it, he used his super speed to get to the fire escape, Alex following him as quickly as she could. After getting all the way up to the roof, she noticed her sister standing there and talking to someone.

"Kara?" Alex called but Kara was oblivious to her presence. She decided to come closer, wondering if her sister was sleepwalking.

"Kara? What are you doing up here?" She asked once again, standing next to her sister.

"Alex? I told you my mom was here and you didn't believe me." Kara said smiling. But all Alex could see was her sister standing alone, lost in her own world.

"Kara, what are you talking about? Did you see her again?" Alex asked confused and worried.

"Why are you actng like this? You know she's right here." Kara said pointing at someone she thought was there.

"Kara, there's no one here but us."

"Mom, tell her. She doesn't believe me." Kara pleaded not sure how to convince her sister.

"Kara, my daughter, human brain is not able to comprehend my presence." Alura tried to explain.

"So how can I prove to them that you're really here." Kara asked with tears in her eyes.

"Kara. Come on. It's freezing, we need to get you inside." Alex said putting her arms around her sister.

"She won't let us stay together." Alura warned.

"What do you mean? She's my sister. She'll understand." Kara argued pulling out from Alex and coming closer to Alura.

"No, she won't. She'll try to fix you, so we can't be together anymore." Alura said walking to the edge of the rooftop.

"I won't let that happen." Kara assured following her mother.

"Kara. Stop! What are you doing?" Alex asked running to her sister and gripping her arm tightly.

"Alex, tell her. Tell her that she can stay." Kara shouted trying to break free from her sister.

"I am so sorry Kara. I love you." Alura said disappearing in the darkness of night.

"No!" Kara shouted as she managed to break out of her sister's hold and run after her mother. Luckily, Krypto tackled her down before she fell down and Alex was there in a second.

"Kara! You have to listen to me. It's not real!" Alex was shouting now while she was holding her down, trying to reach out to her.

"Let me go!" Kara was struggling until she finally gave up and started sobbing.

"Shhh, it's going to be okay." Alex promised hugging her.

An hour later Alex was standing near her sister's bed, biting her nails nervously and trying to figure out what might be wrong. After she finally convinced her to get back to the apartment and lie down, Kara cried herself to sleep in Alex's embrace. Although it broke her heart, she didn't know how to console her sister. She couldn't even imagine how hard it must be to constantly lose someone she loved dearly. But what she can do now is help Kara cope with everything and come up with a way to fix it.

"Krypto, come here. Let her rest." Alex whispered when the dog flew over Kara. His only response was to snuggle closer and Kara in her sleep put her broken arm around him.

"Alex? What time is it?" Kara asked as she opened her eyes six hours later and saw her sister.

"Almost nine." Alex said checking her watch before coming closer and asking gently. "How are you feeling?"

"Did that really happen?" Kara asked covering eyes with her hand.

"We'll figure it out together, I promise. But you need to talk to me." Alex said sitting next to her and caressing her shoulder.

"They all look so real." Kara started to confess after a few minutes of silence. "At the beginning it was just my mom, but yesterday when I was at the park I saw my best friend from Krypton." Kara sighed before continuing. "But it wasn't just her, for a few minutes I've been back on Krypton, everything was exactly the same, just like on the roof with my mom." Kara admitted almost crying as Alex squeezed her hand. And they're trying to convince me that they're really here and I don't know what to think anymore."

"You should've said something."

"I know. I'm sorry, but I didn't want to worry you." Kara admitted.

"You can always talk to me. Always." Alex assured hugging her tightly making her hiss in pain.

"Sorry." Kara said after she quickly pulled away.

"I think I have my powers back." Kara smiled drying up her tears and using her heat vision to cut the cast on her arm.

"We should still get you to the DEO." Alex insisted.

"No, I have my powers back."

"But we have no idea what's been causing the hallucinations. It might be a psychological issue."

"I'm not crazy." Kara defended not liking what her sister was implying.

"I never said you were." Alex quickly assured and added gently "You've just been through a lot lately."

"Can we just wait for a few days and see what happens?" When she noticed Alex's hesitation she added. "Please?"

"Okay, but no Supergirl till then." The agent commanded still not sure if it was a right decision. "Okay?"

"Fine." Kara reluctantly agreed.
