A/N : I'm glad you're still enjoying the story :)

"Hey." Maggie greeted coming into the apartment as she saw Alex sitting on the couch with Krypto sleeping next to her.

"Hey." Alex smiled. "You're home early."

"I thought you could use some company." Maggie admitted knowing how worried about Kara she is. "And I picked up some food on my way back."

"That's great, thank you."

"I'm actually surprised Krypto hasn't tried to steal it from me yet." Maggie said putting the bag on the table.

"He's not eaten much lately." Alex informed her petting the dog. "I think he misses Kara."

"I'm sure she'll be back soon." Maggie tried to comfort her.

"She's been gone for almost two weeks and when I call her she always finds an excuse not to talk to me." Alex sadly confessed.

"Everyone deals with grief differently."

"But she's not dealing." Alex argued. "Supergirl's constantly on the news all over the country. She's burying herself in work."

"You know what I think?" Maggie asked sitting next to her and hugging her. "I think that helping people also helps her heal. That it's her way to cope with her pain and loss."

"But why won't she talk to me?" Alex asked feeling helpless.

"She will when she's ready." Maggie assured her before standing up and suggesting. "Let's take Krypto for a walk. He could use some cheering up, too."

"If you can convince him to get off the couch then be my guest."

"Come on, Krypto." Maggie called picking up a leash and waving it in front of the dog. "We're going for a walk."

"Told you." Alex smiled triumphantly.

"Zhgam buahn." Maggie said making Krypto jump down from the couch.

"Since when do you speak Kryptonese?" Alex asked confused.

"Those are the only two words your sister'd taught me. I'm surprised you haven't tried that yet. Kara'd mentioned before that you know some Kryptonese."

"Believe me, I have, but for some reason he won't listen to me." Alex explained.

"Well, he has a lot in common with your sister, then." Maggie said smiling. "Or maybe you should smile more."

"Thanks for such a useful advice." Alex said sarcastically before opening the door.

"You're very welcome."

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this." Winn muttered standing in a park and shining a flashlight.

"Don't look at me. I'm not the one who insisted that we let him off the leash." Maggie defended.

"He was looking at me with those pleading eyes." Alex said. "If I'd known he would trick me like this, I wouldn't have let him go."

"I should've planted a tracker on him." Winn admitted.

"Okay, okay, let's spread around. Maggie, you go that way." Alex ordered pointing a finger. "Winn, you go north and I'll go east."

"You so owe me." Winn said as he started walking away.

"Winn." Alex called.

"What?" He asked turning around.

"North is that way." Alex said pointing the direction with her finger.

"Pff, I know that." Winn said laughing awkwardly. "That's where I was going."

"Sure you were." Maggie smiled before looking at Alex. "I'll call you if I find him."

"We've searched the whole area. He's not here anymore." Alex said when they were all back together.

"He can be anywhere." Winn admitted wearily.

"We have to keep looking, then." Alex said.

"I can go back to the DEO and check the city cameras." Winn suggested after a moment of silence.

"Of course, why didn't I think of that."

"Because I'm the brilliant one." Winn boasted smiling.

"You can go be brilliant at the DEO." Alex ordered.

"We can drive around the city. " Maggie suggested guiding them to the car. "He can't have gone too far."

"This is pointless." Alex said frustrated when Krypto was still no where in sight.

"Calm down. He couldn't have just vanished." Maggie stated.

"Kara'd be devastated if something happened to him."

"Nothing's gonna happen to him." Maggie reassured. "We'll find him before Kara comes back."

"Of course." Alex said chastising herself for not realizing it earlier.

"What?" Maggie asked confused.

"I know where he is."

A few minutes later they arrived at Kara's building. After they climbed up the stairs, they saw Krypto curled up in a ball sleeping in front of Kara's apartment.
