A/N: Thank you for the comments. Alex - welcome back! Anna - thanks!

"Where's Alex?" Elle asked.

"I don't know." Adam said.

"You promised she'd come round."

"She will." Adam said before doubting himself and suggesting. "Why don't you phone her?"

"Because you won't let me have a phone." Elle stated.

"You can borrow mine." He said passing her phone. "Work your magic on her."

"What if she says no."

"I'm sure if you ask she'll say yes." Adam said as Elle started ringing. When they heard a phone ringing from outside the house Elle hurried to the front door and opened it.

"Alex." Elle said hugging her. "I thought you wouldn't come."

"Of course I came." Alex said.

"Have you forgiven mom yet?" Elle asked.

"No."

"Is helping people bad?" Elle asked.

"No." Alex responded.

"Then why are you angry with mom for helping?"

"Because I didn't need help. What your mom was doing was interfering."

"And that's bad?"

"It is." Alex said.

"I don't like it when you fight with mom."

"We're not fighting."

"I don't like it when you are angry at mom." Elle corrected.

"I know."

"So you'll stop being angry?"

"Not yet." Alex said.

"Why?"

"When you don't tidy your room and your parents tell you off, do you think they like doing that?"

"No."

"But they do tell you off because they know you'll learn and become a better person." Alex said.

"So you are trying to make mom better?"

"Yes."

"For how long?" Elle asked as Kara walked into the lounge.

"I don't know. She's a slow learner." Alex said staring at Kara.

"Are you staying for dinner?" Elle asked.

"Not tonight."

"Not even for me?" Elle pleaded.

"Not even for you." Alex said.

"Why?"

"I have a date."

"You do?" Kara asked eyes wide.

"I do."

"Who with? Amanda?"

"Who's Amanda?" Alex asked confused.

"The woman from….it doesn't matter." Kara said. "So who is the date with?"

"Maggie."

"Like Maggie Maggie?"

"Yes."

"How, when? I mean when did she come back?"

"She's landing in thirty minutes. So I really need to go." Alex said hugging Elle goodbye.

-00-

"You're not happy?" Adam asked as he and Kara sat on the couch having put Elle to bed.

"No."

"Alex is happy." Adam pointed out.

"But for how long? Maggie will stay for a few days, then head back to Gotham and Alex's heart will break all over again."

"Alex is an adult. She knows what she's doing." Adam reminded Kara.

"I just don't want to see her get hurt." Kara said.

"I know. But if things work out thing how happy she'll be."

As Kara and Elle walked Krypto through the park they saw a familiar couple walking towards them.

"Maggie!" Elle cried excitedly as she ran to the Detective.

"Hey. Wow, you've grown." Maggie stated.

"Of course I have. Five year olds grow about three inches a year." Elle stated causing Maggie to look at Alex.

"Don't look at me. Carter has been teaching her fun facts." Alex shrugged.

"Hi Kara." Maggie said smiling.

"Maggie." Kara said more cooly just as her phone rang.

"So do you want to hang out with us for a bit?" Alex asked Elle sensing that Kara was about to disappear. "We can even get ice cream." She whispered.

"Yay." Elle said taking hold of Alex's hand.

As Kara ended the call Elle said.

"I'm staying with Alex and Maggie."

"Okay." Kara said handing Krypto's lead to Alex before hurrying off.

As Supergirl arrived at the burning factory she landed in front of the fire officer in charge and asked.

"What can I do?"

"My team can't get close. It is too volatile. But if we don't stop it spreading it will reach that building over there, where there is a lot of gas. It could take out a few blocks."

"On it." Supergirl said taking to the skies again and using her freeze breath on the burning building. Just when she thought the fire was out it seemed to restart and she blew once more. Once again the flames receded, but not wanting to make the same mistake she kept using her freeze breath. However, as ice formed over and in the building there was a huge explosion.

"Supergirl, we have just spoken to Lena." Winn said over her ear-piece.

"Why?"

"It is an L-Corp building and it has lots of chemicals that don't react well to cold."

"Just figured that one out." Supergirl said dryly before inhaling and trying to deprive the fire of oxygen. With the fire out she flew towards the ocean before she exhaled before landing heavily on the ground and spluttering.

"When are you leaving?" Elle asked Maggie as she ate her ice cream.

"Leaving for where?" Maggie asked confused.

"Mom thinks you are going to go back to Gotham and break Alex's heart."

"How do you know that?" Alex asked causing guilt to wash over Elle's face.

"Ummm." Elle said trying to think of an answer that wouldn't get her into trouble.

"Were you listening to their conversation?" Alex asked.

"Maybe." Elle confessed. "I didn't mean to, but it was hard not to."

"What about those games your mom taught you to help stop you hearing?"

"They're boring." Elle complained. "Mom and dad's conversation was interesting."

"And private." Alex reminded her.

"If it was that private they would go to the secret place to talk."

"What secret place?" Maggie asked.

"Kara's loft." Alex explained.

"Am I in trouble?" Elle asked.

"Yes." Alex said.

"More than mom?"

"No."

-00-

"Are you okay?" Kara asked as she approached Lena who had just finished talking to the fire officer.

"Personally I'm fine. We are just lucky everyone got out in time."

"Do you have any idea who did this?"

"None. Security haven't reported any abnormal threats."

"Abnormal threats?" Kara asked. "What about normal threats?"

"We get hundreds."

"Each year?"

"More like each day."

"What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It is part of being a Luthor. Most of the threats are harmless. I have a whole team employed to figure out which are real and which are harmless. Any deemed real are investigated."

"You should tell me about them." Kara said.

"You have enough on your plate. Besides, as I said, most are harmless."

"This isn't harmless." Kara said waving towards the smoldering site.

"This could have been an accident. The chemicals used are highly volatile. One small mistake can be deadly." Lena pointed out.

"Then why do you use them?"

"Because people like gadgets. And to make the gadgets those chemicals are important." Lena said.

"Well until we know what happened I think you should have more security round you. And tonight you are coming over for dinner so I can keep an eye on you." Kara said.

"Isn't tonight Sisters' Night?"

"I am pretty sure that isn't happening tonight."

"Alex still mad about trying to set her up?" Lena guessed.

"Yes, but more importantly Maggie is back."

"Permanently?" Lena asked surprised.

"I don't know."

"Hence the frown."

"Is it wrong to not want Alex to get hurt again?"

"Of course not. But if Maggie is going to go back to Gotham you don't want that to be because you scared her away, do you?"

"No." Kara agreed.

"Besides you are the one who always says you need to have faith and hope."

"I know. It's just hard when Alex has so much to lose."

-00-

"Lena!" Elle smiled as Lena and Kara returned home.

"Hello Elle." Lena smiled as she took something out of her bag. "These are for you."

"Thank you." Elle grinned taking the crayons of Lena before hugging her.

"No hug for me?" Kara asked.

"Alex said you need to learn your lesson."

"Did she?" Kara asked.

"Yes. She said you need to learn not to interfere and until you do she's going to me mad at you."

"Are you mad with me?"

"No. I just want you to learn your lesson faster so Alex isn't mad at you anymore." Elle said.

"You not hugging me won't make Alex forgive me. But it will make me sad." Kara pointed out as she held out her arms.

"Okay." Elle said hugging Kara.

"Hey, you're back." Adam said joining the trio. "Are you okay?" He asked Lena.

"I'm fine. Especially as Kara has arranged a movie night."

"Can I pick the movie?" Elle asked, eyes wide and pleading.

"Who can say no to you?" Lena asked as Elle charged off the lounge. Lena then turned to Kara and said. "That is quite a superpower she has going with that pleading look."
