Chapter 27
When they landed, they were met by Mon-El. Kara immediately asked him about her sister and he led her away from Dax-Ur as Alura moved toward them.
"You must be Kara's mother," he bowed his head slightly as she approached him.
"I am. My name is Alura Zor-El. You must be Dax-Ur. Your reputation precedes you," Alura smiled.
"I was afraid it would. Your daughter and nephew have been understanding but I guess it is because they do not know my reputation," he said.
"I think that we're under different impressions. You were known as one of the greatest Kryptonian scientists. Your disappearance was legendary and one of the great mysteries of our history," Alura raised an eyebrow.
"I created Brain InterActive Construct. It was supposed to be a way to store our knowledge and the knowledge of all of the peoples we met but the more I designed, the more I grew concerned at what it was capable of. I abandoned my work and Krypton, hoping that no one would discover it," Dax-Ur explained.
"My brother-in-law picked up your work and he finished it. He renamed it Brainiac. Though I must admit I do not think it survived the destruction of Krypton," she told him.
"Let us hope not," he said. Alura wanted to ask him more when she heard Kara shriek. The two elder Kryptonians rushed toward the sound, which was emanating from the medical lab. When they arrived, they found that it was a good shriek. Kara and another blonde woman had their arms around Alex, who was now awake. Dax-Ur marveled at the control that the younger Kryptonian was able to exhibit, given how she's talked about Alex on their flight over. He noticed that the redhead was well loved. There was a woman there who appeared to be her mother, her adopted sister, another woman, and the man that he could have sworn was a Daxamite.
"No hogging the redhead," Maggie joked as Mon-El helped her over to her fiancée.
"There's enough of me to go around," Alex croaked out. Doctor Milo shooed them all out of the way. He handed her a pink cup so she could take a sip of water and hydrate her mouth and throat.
"Take it easy Alex. You were in a coma, you need to be careful," he cautioned.
"Not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth but J'onn seemed very concerned when he contacted me. I thought something bad had happened," Kara said. Mon-El looked around the room. Both Winn and the Martian were missing.
"Speaking of J'onn… you notice how he and Winn disappeared?" The former Daxamite asked.
"That can't be good," Alex spoke up. Kara left the medical lab and Mon-El followed.
"Ricky, where are J'onn and Winn?" The blonde asked. Ricky swiveled his chair away from the screen he was looking at and found the blonde within two feet of him.
"They said they were heading out to get some food. Why are you giving me that look?" The young tech wanted to know.
"Because I'm surprised you fell for that. Track Winn's phone and if he turned his off, find J'onn's," Kara told him. Ricky swiveled in his chair and quickly ran a search.
"They must have a lead on Coville's helpers," Mon-El put a hand on her shoulder.
"And they went out alone?" Kara frowned.
"Yeah they didn't go alone," Ricky piped up.
"They took a strike team and no one noticed?" The blonde asked.
"Not exactly. Both of them have their phones off and they must have switched their comms to a different frequency but James left his phone on," Ricky said.
"Give me the address," Kara told him.
"I'm going with you," Mon-El said.
