"Kara, hey what are you doing here?" Maggie asked surprised to see her waiting at her desk in the precinct.

"Can we talk?"

"Umm, sure. But make it quick. I have to follow up on a lead." Maggie said guiding them to somewhere more private.

"Actually, that's kind of what I came here for. I was wondering if you could use some help." Kara explained causing Maggie to stop in her tracks and turn to face her.

"Help with what?" The detective asked confused.

"One of your cases, maybe?" Kara suggested hoping to find something to get her mind off everything else. "I can't show up at work without a broken arm after only few days, Alex made me promise not to do any Supergirl stuff and the interview for my article isn't for another three days." She listed trying to convince Maggie to take pity on her.

"Aren't you supposed to be home?" The detective asked squinting her eyes.

"Why?"

"Your sister called me an hour ago and asked if I had a minute to check up on you."

"Oh, well, technically she told me this morning that I better be home when she gets back."

"Fine." Maggie finally agreed. "I was gonna drive to your place on my way back anyway so I guess you can come with me as well."

"Thank you." Kara said following after Maggie.

"Not a word to Alex or she'll kill both of us."

"Hey." Alex greeted entering Kara's apartment later that day.

"Hey. How was work?" Maggie asked glancing up from the laptop.

"Busy. Where is Kara?" Alex asked looking around.

"She took Krypto for a walk."

"Where?"

"Just outside the building."

"How did she seem?" Alex asked sitting on the couch next to Maggie.

"Sad." Maggie said putting her laptop away. "But as you'd said before, she's been through a lot."

"Where are you going?" The detective asked when Alex stood up and put her jacket back on.

"To keep her company."

"I think she'd rather be alone for a while." Maggie explained but when Alex didn't look convinced she added. "Don't worry. You can see her from the window."

Coming to the window Alex saw Krypto bringing a stick back to Kara. She was glad that at least the dog brought her sister some comfort.

"She'll be okay." Maggie reassured her coming closer and hugging her from behind. "She just needs some time to process everything."

"I know but I'm her big sister. It's my job to be overprotective." Alex said hugging her back.

"And there's nothing wrong with that. But there're things that she needs to figure out by herself first."

"I know." Alex admitted turning to face her. "Are you in for a movie night?"

"Sure. But please no musicals this time. That song about birds's been stuck in my head for days." Maggie complained.

"That's fine by me but there're no guarantees when it comes to Kara." Alex smiled grabbing a remote.

"Pizza's here." Maggie said hearing a knock on the door.

"I'm going to get Kara. She's been there for two hours already." Alex said putting on a jacket after Maggie came back with the food. "We'll be right back."

"Kara?" Alex called when she saw her sister sitting on a bench.

"I promise I'll let you know. Listen, I gotta go. I'll call you tomorrow." Kara said when she saw her sister. "I love you, too."

"Eliza?" Alex guessed.

"Yeah." Kara confirmed putting the phone in her pocket.

"Did you tell her?" Alex asked sitting next to her.

"No. But she knew something was wrong anyway." Kara admitted looking at the sky.

"You can tell her when you're ready." Alex said squeezing her hand.

"Have you two finally decided what we're watching?" Kara asked teasingly. "I'd go for a musical."

"You know, some day your constant eavesdropping's gonna bite you in your ass. Who knows what you might hear when me and Maggie-" Alex teased back glad that her sister was getting back to normal.

"Oh my God. Let me stop you right there." Kara exclaimed standing up.

"I'm just saying." Alex smiled guiding them back to the apartment with Krypto shadowing them.

While they were watching TV Kara noticed a human-like shadow standing still amongst the darkness in her bedroom. She felt her heart beating faster when she realized all three of them were still on the couch. She couldn't go through it again. She snuggled closer to her sister and closed her eyes for a second. But when she opened them back she saw it started to slowly approach them.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked feeling Kara tense up.

"Can you turn on the light, please." Kara asked with panic in her voice.

Maggie quickly stood up and rushed to the switch. After she turned it on and they looked around they saw no one else there besides them.

"See? No one's here. We're safe." Alex reassured trying to calm her down.

"I'm sorry. I was sure I saw someone." Kara confessed shook.

"Kara." She heard a man's voice behind her. She immediately stood up and turned around as fear gripped her.

"Alex, it's happening again." Kara said not taking her eyes off the man.

"Your mom?" Alex asked standing next to her while Maggie was watching the interaction with concern.

"No." Kara said shaking her head. "It's my dad."

"Me and your mother had to go through a great ordeal to get back to you, Kara." He said as he started to get closer. "But now we can all be reunited in Rao's Light."

"Stay away." Kara ordered backing away. "You're not real."

"Don't be afraid." Zor-El said before asking gently. "Do you remember what I always used to tell you?"

"That it's okay to be scared, but only if we don't let that fear control us." Kara recalled feeling more peaceful.

"That's right."

"Can you grab my bag?" Alex asked turning to Maggie when Kara wasn't paying attention to them.

"What are you doing?" Maggie asked nervously, handing it to her girlfriend.

"I couldn't get through to her the last time it happened but at least she didn't have her powers then." The agent informed her while taking out a syringe filled with Green Kryptonite from the lead box before hiding it in her back pocket.

"Kara, we need to get you to the DEO." Alex said putting her arm around her sister's waist.

"Your mother is waiting for us. Let me take you to her." Zor-El offered.

"No. You're lying." Kara said shaking her head.

"Come on, Kar. We need to figure out what's wrong." Alex said as she and Maggie exchanged worried glances.

"There is nothing wrong, Kara. Your family and friends need you back." Zor-El tried to convince her before pulling out something from his pocket. "I kept it safe for you. You must have lost it."

"My bracelet." Kara said pulling out from her sister before taking it from her father. "Is Lara there with you?"

"Of course she is. Do you want to see for yourself?"

"But I can't leave Alex." Kara argued torn on what to do.

"No, you can't." Alex agreed not liking what she was hearing. "I need you so much. And I need you to let me help you."

"You know she blames you for her father's capture and as she'd told you before, you are not part of her family."

"Kara, whatever he's telling you, it's not real. He is not real." Alex tried to reason with her when she saw how upset her sister was. "So, let's get you out of here, okay?" She said standing in front of Kara and putting her hands on her shoulders.

"How do you know?" Kara argued stepping away. "Maybe you can't see him cos you're not a Kryptonian."

"But Krypto is and he'd react in a different way if your father was really here." Maggie pointed out.

"See? They don't understand. They are not even trying." Her father said taking her hand. "Ni ho shimoni hii shu zhu aonah."

"Ni ho shimoni hii shu zhu ukr."

"Kara, It's time to go. I can't stay here much longer." Zor-El urged letting go of her hand and walking over to the window.

"No, wait. I'm coming with you." Kara quickly decided.

"Kara, stop. You are not going anywhere." Alex grabbed her hand. Maggie pulled Krypto by his collar when she noticed he wanted to get to Kara.

"Don't worry, Alex. I'll be back, but I have to go with my father now." Before Kara could make another step, Alex reached for the syringe before pulling the cap off and pushing the needle into her neck. They didn't have to wait long before the Kryptonite started to take effect. A second later Kara dropped forward to her knees before using her hands for support.

"I'm so sorry." The agent cried kneeling down next to Kara and held her after she completely passed out.
