A dazzling light was the first thing Kara saw when she woke up. Slowly blinking, she became aware of her surroundings. The smell of bacon was the next thing that brought her attention. Glancing over her shoulder she saw her sister cooking, well at least attempting to cook breakfast.

That's when the memories of the previous night started flooding back. Feeling ashamed she closed her eyes once again and tried to come up with a way to apologize for being so reckless which had caused her sister to drop everything in order to take care of her. Again.

"I know you're awake Kara." She heard Alex say before she could gather her thoughts.

The blonde finally sat up rubbing her throbbing head.

She slowly stood up, still feeling a bit wobbly and staggered into the kitchen before dropping down into a chair next to the counter, glad when Alex filled a glass with water and handed it to her.

"Want some breakfast?" Alex asked placing a plate on the counter. "They are a bit burned but probably more edible than the first batch." She pointed at the trash can.

"Are you mad?" Kara finally asked when Alex turned back to the stove and kept quiet.

"I'm not mad, Kara." Alex said turning back to face her sister. "But I'm disappointed you didn't come to me."

"I promise to come to you next time." Kara said not thinking much, making Alex raise her eyebrow.

"That's not what I meant." Kara clarified rolling her eyes.

"I know. But remember that if you do get drunk again, and I'm not saying that to encourage you to do so, you can always come to me. I promise I won't judge. Besides, it would be kinda hypocritical of me to do that."

Their conversation was interrupted when there was a knock on the door. Looking through the door Kara immediately jumped from her spot and whispered in panic looking at her sister.

"I thought you aren't mad at me!"

"I'm not mad at you." Alex repeated confused.

"So you didn't call Eliza?"

"Mom is here?" Alex glanced at the door eyes wide when they heard another impatient knock.

"She can't see me like this. I'm gonna get to your apartment." Kara said changing into her suit.

"No, wait. You can't leave me here!" Alex begged when Kara got to the window.

"I'll be back soon. Promise." Before Alex could argue the blonde had already disappeared.

"Traitor." Alex whispered, fully aware Kara could still hear her.

She took a deep breath and went to open the door.

"Mom." Alex smiled as Eliza immediately hugged her.

"I've missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Alex said hugging her back. "Kara is not here." She added when Eliza looked around the apartment. " Umm, were we expecting you?"

"I wanted to surprize you." Eliza said letting her go before taking her bag and entering the apartment.

Besides, both you and your sister have been avoiding me for the last few weeks, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands."

"I'm sorry. Things have not been easy lately."

"I know Sweetie." Eliza wrapped her arms around her daughter once again, frowning when she noticed Kara's phone sitting next to the untouched food on the counter.

"Kara left without her phone?" Eliza asked surprized knowing her daughter's got into the habit of having her phone by her side since becoming Supergirl.

"Oh, umm she had to leave in a hurry." Alex explained, and technically she wasn't lying. She had just failed to mention what was the reason for the Kryptonian leaving in such a hurry.

Eliza decided not to push any further and suggested. "What about a family dinner tonight?" She asked picking up her bag and not waiting for her daughter's approval she added. "I'm going to do some shopping and prepare a decent meal."

"Mom, you don't need to do that."

"I know Honey. But I really want to spend some time with my girls."

"Hey." Maggie greeted entering Kara's apartment later that night with Krypto by her side.

The dog ran towards Kara happily wagging his tail.

"Hey boy." Kara smiled petting his head.

"I thought your mom would be joining us for dinner?" Maggie asked confused when she looked around and Eliza was not there.

"She's out getting more supplies."

"Did he behave himself last night?" Alex asked hugging Maggie. Noticing a guilty look on her face Alex prodded. "What did he do this time?"

"Nothing much." Maggie shrugged. "Krypto had a little accident, but you didn't like those shoes anyway."

"Which ones?"

"Your jogging sneakers." The detective specified.

"The black ones with blue dotts?"

"Yeah."

"They are my favorite. Tell me he didn't." The agent sighed and Kara couldn't quell her giggles anymore and started laughing.

"We'll see who's gonna laugh when he does the same to you." Alex countered pointing her finger at the blonde.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not the one who did it." Kara replied.

"Relax Danvers. I was joking." Maggie finally admitted. "I can't believe you fell for that."

"That was a good one." Kara cheered giving Maggie a high five.

"I swear you two deserve each other. Children. That's what you two are." Alex grumbled grabbing a beer, silently celebrating the fact that everything was coming back to normal and Kara was getting better.

She sat on the couch to rest for a bit after the long day at the DEO, closing her eyes briefly. And od course that's when her mother decided to come back to the apartment, carrying bags with food.

"Let me help you with that." Maggie quickly joined Eliza taking the bags from her.

"Thank you." Eliza smiled gratefully before spotting her eldest sitting on the couch sipping beer.

"Alexandra."

"Here we go again." Alex muttered under her breath.

"Eliza, umm, is there gonna be a chocolate pecan pie too?" Kara asked trying to prevent any arguments that may be about to come.

Hesistantly turning her attention back to her youngest Eliza replied. "Of course Sweetie. But it may be a while till it's ready."

"And who is that?" Eliza pointed her finger at the dog when he joyfully ran towards Kara, holding his leash in his mouth.

"Oh, this is Krypto. I don't know how, but somehow he's ended up on Earth." Kara explained grabbing the leash.

"Would you mind if I took Krypto for a walk?" Kara asked.

"Go ahead. But make sure you get back before dinner."

Strolling around the park Kara could hear her family discussing the recent events. But her eavesdropping was interrupted when she noticed a man coming up to her.

"I believe you have something that belongs to me."
