Alex wasn't at all surprised that upon entering Noonan's, she immediately spotted Kara at the counter, laughing along with the barista she was ordering from.

Cat Grant's legacy had been many things, but every single employee at Noonan's knowing her sister's name was definitely a milestone. As Kara spotted her entrance, she waved enthusiastically with a sandwich and two take-out coffees. "That's her!"

"Oh geez, what did you tell her?" Alex said, stepping closer to the barista, who seemed to be eyeing her with an amused twinkle.

Kara smiled, and turned to the girl once again. "Alex, this is Ciara. I was telling her about you and Maggie!"

"Me and Maggie what?" Alex smiled politely at the barista, before turning back to her sister, who took a sip of her coffee and smirked. "That you're together! Maggie's a regular here."

"Is she now?"

The barista, Ciara, nodded. "Yeah, she comes here all the time. You know, cops and their donuts. Didn't know she had a girlfriend though, she seemed to be hitting on me a lot."

Alex' eyes narrowed at the woman, but when Kara started laughing, she realized it had been a joke. Ciara grinned. "Sorry, couldn't help myself."

"I already ordered your usual, by the way." Kara held up the extra takeaway cup. "I thought we could go for a walk? The weather's too nice to sit here."

"Yeah, sure." Alex smiled at the barista once again. "Nice to meet you, Ciara."

"You too, Alex."

Kara waved goodbye and lead the way out the door. Alex took her coffee and sipped it with a sigh. "Kara, we need to talk."

"About what?"

The pair walked through the street aimlessly, as Alex tried to figure out how to explain the situation to her sister. Finally, she cleared her throat. "Uh… It's about Maggie."

"Okay…? Is she alright? I mean, besides the obvious…" Kara trailed off nervously, looking her sister in the eyes.

"Someone did this to her." Alex said, trying her best to keep the anger out of her voice, because saying it out loud somehow made it even worse. "… Somebody planted a bug into her equipment so she'd hurt herself."

Kara's eyes widened, and Alex could almost hear the gears turning in her head. She seemed as angry about the fact as Alex herself was, and that somehow gave her a sense of security. At least she'd have an ally.

"Who? I mean, do you know?!" Kara's hands tightened into fists. Alex shook her head. "No clue. But my gut tells me CADMUS has something to do with it."

"Of course…" Kara grunted. "It all makes sense. So… Somebody's a mole?"

Alex shrugged. "I don't know where to start. That's why I didn't want to do it alone."

"You have me." Kara nodded decisively. "I'm with you, 100 percent."

Alex smiled weakly. "Thanks. That's good to hear."

"Did you tell her?"

A beat of silence. Alex took a shaky breath, and bit her lip. "I'm scared to tell her. I'm scared that… That she's going to shut me out, and put up walls…"

"Hey, no." Kara shook her head. "She loves you. She knows that you want to help. And if you tell her, she might know something. Maybe someone that seemed suspicious, or at least whoever handles her equipment besides her."

Alex nodded, knowing perfectly well that the situation absolutely required for her to know whatever Maggie knew. Yet the uncertain feeling in the pit of her stomach didn't go away at the thought of it.

Kara hummed. "Okay, so, what do you have right now?"

"The police precinct, the alien bar, and the DEO."

"I'll try to get something from the DEO. I have to swing by later anyway for a patrol." Kara thought for a second. "Though I'm highly doubtful anybody in the DEO knows she has diabetes."

"We can't be sure. CADMUS has been one step ahead of us every time now, who's to say we don't have a mole?"

"Mmhm." Kara nodded. "You're right… It makes sense. Can I tell J'onn about your plan?"

"He's the only one besides Winn at the DEO that I trust. Winn might be able to help with the tech part, so I think we're going to need them both anyway." Alex decided.

"Okay…" Kara frowned at her sister. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Alex smiled. Always so selfless. "No, I'm fine. Well, I mean, I will be, once this is over."

Kara pulled her into a hug, careful not to spill any coffee on either of them. "We'll get them. She'll be good as new."

Alex nodded, and after they said their goodbyes, started walking into the direction of the alien bar. It was odd seeing it in daylight, as she wasn't used to coming to this part of town during her shift. She was technically still out of duty until the afternoon, as J'onn had ensured her that her cracked ribs needed more time than just one evening to heal, and she was benched for field work for at least three more days.

Though normally, Alex would complain at the lack of action and excitement in the prospect of paperwork, it felt good to know that she could focus her attention on Maggie's situation.

As she entered the bar, she decided to play it cool and headed to the bartender to order a beer. She had a look around, but none of the aliens looked particularly shady or like they had something to hide. If anything, during the day it almost seemed like a regular bar to hang out at.

The beer was placed in front of her, and she slapped a few dollar bills down, when her phone rang. She grabbed it from her pocket and saw that it was Maggie.

Her stomach jolted as she hurried to pick up. "Hey, is everything okay?!"

"You need to come. Right now."

Alex frowned, and she was already halfway out of the bar before answering. "Why? What happened? Are you okay?!"

"Now."

She hung up. Alex stared at her phone for a second in absolute confusion, when she finally processed the call. Maggie sounded emotional, her voice creaked. Something had clearly happened to her…

Alex sprinted to the street, and thanked her lucky stars that Maggie's apartment was at a walking distance from the bar. She raced up the stairs, and sped through the hallway, toward Maggie's door.

When she yanked it open, her eyes widened.
