Hi guys! So before we begin I really need to release some pent up frustration and stress. Recently, I've been bombarded with school work and regular work and basically life in general. Writing this chapter was probably the hardest thing to fit into my schedule this week due to all my other commitments and school work. At this moment, I apologize in advance if this chapter lacks something or isn't that long. I want you guys to know that I'm trying my best to upload every week after a new episode but that may or may not always be the case. If so, please be patient with me and the chapter will be uploaded quickly.

I know I promised you guys two chapters today but due to the amount of time it took to write this one, the next one will probably be uploaded either next week or the week after (depending on if I have internet or not). I am currently on spring break and not at home, so writing will be crammed into my schedule and difficult to do.

Enough with that, I really enjoyed 'Homecoming'. Seeing Mon-El and Kara together and happy just made my day and giddy. I was thrilled to see Mon-El be right after so many things that made him seem so wrong. And Jeremiah? I mean I knew I saw it coming but wow! The emotion in the episode was so well portrayed and I was on the edge of my seat for the entire episode. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this week's chapter based off of 'Homecoming'.

Chapter 12: Homecoming / This Is A Suspicious Homecoming

Previously on Mon-El vs Earth:

"That means nothing is... Nothing is stopping us." he asked

Could this be it? Could this be the moment that we missed?

"Nope. Nothing is stopping us." she answered quietly.

They stared at each other longingly for a moment. Mon-El stared at the beautiful person in front of him. He drank all of her beauty in, from her comet like eyes, her pink lips to the curves of her hips. He couldn't take it anymore, he had to do it...

And so he did. He leant in and Kara met him halfway in the middle, their lips colliding against one another, moving in unison. Her arms wrapped around his neck as he tenderly held her head in his hands. Soon he felt like they were falling and they landed on the couch, not releasing each other for a moment. Mon-El couldn't think, he was too busy drowning in the passion in their kiss. Nothing else in the world could ever replace this moment. It was in that one moment that Mon-El realized that Kara had saved him. She saved him from harm, from the brutalities of Earth, and more importantly from himself. And for the first time in a really long while, Mon-El felt genuinely happy.


Sun rays shone into room as he felt the sunlight hit the blanket around him, warming up the bed along with him. Mon-El didn't want to get out of bed. All he wanted to do was relive every single moment from the night before. The sensation he got when they had kissed. The feeling he got when their arms wrapped around each other, smothering the distance between them. He wanted to feel her hands on his body and how they had peeled off his clothes as the Daxamite pushed them towards the bed as their garments flew across the room, landing on random pieces of furniture. He desired the pleasure he felt when her legs wrapped themselves around his waist, their bodies moving together in synchronization.

"Good morning." Mon-El said as he reached beside him, only to feel nothing but air "Kara? Kara! Was it that bad? Was it that good?" he asked himself.

Knowing that there could have been nothing that could ruin this morning, Mon-El got out of the bed. He scavenged for some clothes, preferably a shirt. After a few minutes, he finally spotted his black t-shirt laying across Kara's dresser and walked into Kara's living room to see that the TV was on.

"and it's been quite a morning for Supergirl. National City's own feminist hero in a cape has already prevented five armed robberies, delivered a litter of puppies, and given one very lucky tugboat owner some extra help hauling a tanker. She's done a lot more than me." the newscaster said as he pulled the shirt over him.

"Morning." a female voice said behind him and he turned around to see Kara, her hair glittering in the sunlight.

"Hi."

"I got you these." she said, handing him a bouquet of flowers and a cup of coffee as she smiled brightly at him

"Oh! What a gentleman. Thank you." he replied as she passed by him. He was about to follow but Kara had kindly objected saying

"Just hang on, one sec."

"Okay." he answered and in a second, Kara had changed from Supergirl to regular Kara Danvers.

Finding nowhere else to put the bouquet of flowers, he dropped them into a lamp, which earned him a laugh from the blonde.

"Hi." Mon-El said

"So, I- I had a really nice time."

"Yeah? Me, too. -Um, one note though" the Daxamite said wrapping his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck.

"Okay?"

"I would like to wake up next to you." he said

"Oh?" she whispered

"Yeah." he answered quietly before leaning in to kiss her.

In this moment, Mon-El couldn't be happier. He had everything he wanted. A home, a decently paying job and Kara, the girl he had been dreaming about since their time together at Cadmus.

"Gosh, it's so nice to do that without breaking the guy's nose." she said laughing a bit at her own comment

"How many times did that happen?" Mon-El asked

"Um...Less than five." she answered

"So four? Exactly four times." he said and he earned a giggle and a kiss in return "Hey, so, since you got your little superhero-ing out of the way for the day, can we maybe just stay here? Hmm?"

"Oh, gosh, I really... I... Oh, no..." she objected, in an awfully cute way though, Mon-El thought

"Yes. Yes." he said trying to convince her

"No, no, no, 'cause we have to be at the DEO in like 20 minutes." she said as she rushed into her room and grabbed his pants and shirt from different articles of furniture

"Boo!" Mon-El complained

"I know, I know." she said, tossing his clothes to him "Speaking of which, um, can we just keep this quiet?"

"What you -You don't want people to know?" he asked

"No, no, I do. It's not that. It's just Just for now. 'Cause the last time I liked someone, everyone in my life watched and commented on it. And I just really don't want that to happen to us." she explained, causing all the worry that had begun to flood his brain fade away

"Hmm. So there's an 'us'?"

"Yeah." Kara answered

"Yeah? I like that." he said as she pulled him closer by his neck as they kissed once more "Well, okay. We can keep it quiet." he said smiling at the lady before they walked out the door and headed for the DEO.

As soon as the couple entered the building, Mon-El blared out the news without thinking about what he had agreed to literally 10 seconds earlier.

"Hey, everybody! Uh, quick thing. Kara and I are dating. Yes, it's awesome. Yes, we are very happy. And your jealousy is appropriate. You can carry on now. Thank you. Sorry." he announced as they approached the main hall.

"Ten seconds." Kara said from beside him

"Yeah, I thought that was..." Mon-El answered, realizing what he had just done

"You lasted We just walked in. It was 10 seconds."

"very, very short. I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I mean, back on Daxam, they used to throw parties when people got together. You're lucky I didn't arrange a parade." the Daxamite replied to his partner

"Ha ha!" Kara laughed jokingly

"I'm just saying." he said following Kara, who was approaching J'onn and Alex.

"Can we just pretend like that never happened?" she said as she stopped in front of them

"I'd like nothing more. But unfortunately, as your supervisor, I have to ask you to report to HR." J'onn said in a serious tone and Kara simply laughed at his remark but suddenly stopped.

Wait what is an HR?

"Wait, you're serious?" Kara asked

"Kara, you're dating a co-worker." he replied

"That's not. Wait, we have an HR?" she responded

"Walk this puppy down to the second floor and fill out all the forms Pam gives you in triplicate." J'onn ordered before walking away

"Oh, and you're gonna have to attend a mandatory sexual harassment seminar." Alex said to them before following J'onn.

"Seriously?" Kara exclaimed in disbelief

"It's going to be a rough sparring session for me." Mon-El stated

"You think?" she replied quickly

"Okay, I'm gonna warm up." the Daxamite said before walking off and into the training room but he never got the sparring match.

Not too long after doing his final round of simulation, Winn ran into the room and told him to meet with Alex and prepare a backup team for Kara and J'onn, who were about to head out and stop a Cadmus transportation. Mon-El wanted to join Kara in her chase but chose to stay behind and listen to Winn's orders.


Mon-El wanted to stay and keep an eye on Kara and her mission with J'onn but it was one of his work days. It was a slow day at the bar and honestly, Mon-El liked it. His somewhat terrible life had finally straightened out. He was happy, something that he didn't think he would be capable of after everything that had happened to him. Not too long ago, he would have given anything to get off of Earth but now it was the opposite. He would do anything to stay on Earth, to stay with Kara.

Mon-El was just about finish his shift when his phone suddenly rang.

"Sorry. Could you excuse me for just a moment?" he said to the man to which he was about to serve his order.

The Daxamite pulled his phone out of his back pocket, seeing Winn's name appear on the screen rom and pressed the 'Answer' button.

"Hey what's up?"

"Something big happened" Winn answered

"What?"

"Jeremiah's back"

"How?"

"That transport that Kara and J'onn stopped. It was carrying Jeremiah in it"

"I'm on my way" Mon-El said.

Before running out the door, he served his final drink to the man from before. As soon as he walked out the door, he quickly ran over to the DEO.


When Mon-El arrived at the DEO, he ran around until he found everyone huddled around Jeremiah in the med bay. Upon seeing them, he opened the door and entered the room.

"I came as soon as I heard." he said as he walked into the room

"Mon-El of Daxam. We meet again." Jeremiah said from the seat that he was sitting in

"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried after you let us out that Cadmus was gonna-"

"Cadmus would imprison and torture me for betraying them?" Jeremiah finished for the Daxamite "Yeah, well, you'd be right."

"Dad, the uh, the damage to your hand is It's extensive." Alex said to her father

"It's a punishment for helping Mon-El and Kara escape. But I would do it again, in a heartbeat. I'm so lucky you found me. I'm so lucky to be back with you two." Jeremiah said to his two daughters, who looked at him worriedly.

"Well, it's more than luck." Mon-El commented

"What do you mean?" J'onn asked

"We got an alert that Cadmus was moving a weapon, and we don't get alerts unless they're releasing a video or we catch them red-handed." he answered

"But we did catch them red-handed." Kara said

"Though... No, they were waving their red hands around in the air literally like they just didn't care." Mon-El replied

"No..." Kara began to object

"No, Mon-El is right. You need to keep your guard up. 'Cause Cadmus does have a weapon." Jeremiah interrupted

"What is it?" J'onn asked curiously

"A nuclear fusion bomb. They're going to destroy National City, and blame it on hostile aliens" the Danvers man answered

"How did Cadmus get their hands on it?" Kara asked him

"Well, they didn't steal it. They built it. Using the radiation they mined from your heat vision when you were in their custody." Jeremiah answered

"Oh, my God." Kara muttered

This doesn't seem right... Things just aren't adding up


After the discussion in the med bay, everyone thought it would be good to get the genius' opinion on Cadmus' plan.

"So, what you're telling me is that Jeremiah Danvers, former DEO agent and Alex and Kara's long lost father has returned from Cadmus custody with news that our enemy has developed a nuclear fusion explosive using Kara's other-worldly heat vision radiation, and that they're going to drop that on National City and just kill us all? Ha! Is Is this Is this place bomb-proof?" Winn asked

"You could run a trace on Kara's heat vision radiation signature." Jeremiah said to him

"Right, yeah well, if the bomb is armed, then yes, I might be able to pinpoint its location before it goes off."he replied

"Good, get to work, Winn." J'onn said to him as Mon-El tried to think about how he felt about their current situation.

When he finally decided what he wanted to say, the Daxamite stood from his chair to see Jeremiah hugging Eliza, who Mon-El assumed just walked in.

"Hey, Kara, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah. What's up?" she asked worriedly as they walked to another corridor so they couldn't be hearn

"Look, I know you're happy he's back." Mon-El said as they stopped

"Are you not?" -

"I-" Mon-El started but stopped himself

"He saved us." Kara stated

"Yes. Exactly. I was there and I watched you solar flare, and it didn't look like they were trying to, you know, capture your heat-vision. It looked like they just wanted you to blow your powers out."

"Mon-El. You are not a scientist. And you don't know how that Cadmus device worked, but Jeremiah does. Why is it so hard for you to trust him?" Kara asked

"Why is it so easy for you?" Mon-El said

"Because he's always protected me, at great cost." she answered

"Hey, he also lived with your enemy for years. They-They forced him to keep Henshaw alive. What makes you think that they're not forcing Jeremiah to do something now?"

"I know you're just trying to look out for us. For me."

"Mmm-hmm." he muttered

"But he needs us right now. Please." Kara pleaded

"Okay... Okay. Okay." Mon-El said, giving in. He knew he wouldn't win this argument

"Thank you. We're having a family dinner to celebrate his return." Kara said

"Yeah?"

Just come over and get to know him. Spend time with him and you will see that there's nothing to be afraid of. At all. Jeremiah's return isn't an 'accidental gift.' It's just a gift. And we should be happy about it." she said to him and because he didn't want to upset her, Mon-El simply nodded his head. After their discussion, Kara had to leave to prepare for the dinner, which was alright with the Daxamite, since he needed a break and wrap his head around everything that had happened.


Eventually, Mon-El was able to get ready, although he didn't change into a different shirt, he wondered whether certain articles of clothing were necessary for the dinner. Ultimately, he left the DEO wearing exactly what he had worn earlier.

When he arrived at Kara's apartment, he knocked and waited for a moment before Kara answered the door.

"Hi!" Kara said smiling brightly at him

"Hi. How are you?" he said before he pecked the Kryptonian on the lips and whispered "Was I supposed to wear a tie?"

"No" she answered simply

"Okay..." he said walking further into the room "Dr. Danvers! And Dr. Danvers! That's a knife. Don't shake your knife." he said as he continued towards the living room

"Hello, sweet boy." Eliza had said before he went and joined his girlfriend, her sister and her girlfriend by the couch. He, Kara, Alex and Maggie talked about their day and funny experiences they had before, which all resulted in them laughing so hard that their faces hurt from smiling. They were happy and having fun.

How can it get better than this?

"Kids! Drinks are ready!" Jeremiah called from the kitchen

"I'm ready" Alex said as they moved from the couch to the table in seconds

"Here we go." Jeremiah said as he served the drinks

"Let me help." Kara said, taking some of the glasses and passing them out

"Ah, thank you." Jeremiah said.

Suddenly, the door swung open and J'onn walked into the room.

"So sorry I'm late." he said

"Oh, don't be silly, J'onn." Eliza said happily

"Oh, hey! I forgot to do something earlier." Jeremiah said before pulling the other man into a tight hug

"Oh! Thank you. Thank you for saving my life again. Thank you for keeping your promise to watch over my girls." the Danvers man said to him

"It was an honour." J'onn replied

"A toast. To coming home." Kara proposed, raising her glass

"Coming home." the rest of them said in unison as they clinked their glasses

"Now, obviously, this is going to be a time of adjustment. But I hope you'll all be patient with me. I've seen and done things that I wish I hadn't." Jeremiah started

"Dad, don't." Alex said to her father

"No, sweetie. If I'm going to move forward, I can't ignore my past. Cadmus Changed me, they tried to break me. But in the process, they made me dangerous. I know their weaknesses, and I'm here to work with all of you to make our planet safer. So, if you'll have me, Director, I'd like to return to the DEO. Formally." he said to J'onn

"J'onn? Can he?" Kara asked

"Pending a full psych evaluation and a field readiness exam We'll give you the tour tomorrow." he answered

"Thank you, friend." Jeremiah responded "All right."

"I'm in the DEO for two months before I can pee alone, and he just walks right back in?" he muttered angrily to Kara

"Say something nice to him. Now." Kara ordered

"I just wish you were coming back at a time of peace, sir." Mon-El said

"We all do." Kara cut in quickly

"What a lucky thing that you have returned when you did." the Daxamite continued

"You mean when he was rescued, right, Mon-El?" Alex asked

"Um... I mean, that it is very fortunate that Dr. Danvers has returned just as a fusion bomb has become a threat. A fusion bomb that only he's mentioned and no one else has seen. I mean, what a gift." he answered

"What did you just say to my father?" Alex asked threateningly

"And now he's just gonna go right back to the DEO. With full access, I'm guessing, right, J'onn? No background checks for your old soldier buddy." he asked J'onn, who stood several feet away from him

"You know what you need to back up."

"Why don't you just let him right back in?" he asked them as Kara pushed him away from the scene "What?Why are you pushing me? So, we're just gonna give him free rein? Why is- Why is no one questioning this? Is that not crazy?"

"If your father walked through that door right now, after all these years that you thought he was dead, what would you do?" Kara asked accusingly

"I would run." the Daxamite answered immediately

"Run?"

"Because he was not a good man. So..." he replied

"You know what? I'm sorry about that. But this is not about you and your suspicion, and your disrespect are out of line. And you need to leave my home." she said a serious tone to her voice

"Kara"

"No." she objected, strongly

"That's the-"

"No, no! You've ignored what I need from moment one today. I asked for privacy and time and you ignored that. And I asked you to give Jeremiah the benefit of the doubt and you ignored that too. So I don't" she interrupted

"Okay, okay, hey! I'm sorry. That is two strikes on me, okay, but let's just- let's, let it go" he said apologizing but only got a laugh from her in response

"I am not baseball. And unless you learn that what I say counts, this isn't going to work." Kara said to him before Jeremiah entered the room

"Why don't I show you out?" he said to him

"I think that's a really good idea." Kara answered for him

What? You're just going to kick me out? But Mon-El knew the consequences of arguing with Kara, it never ended well for him

"Okay, I was heading out, anyway." he said as he let the older man walk him out of the apartment andante the corridor outside her door "Sir, as a scientist, you have to believe in questioning. That's all I was trying to do in there. I'm sorry if I hurt you" he tried explaining to Jeremiah

"I know who you are." Jeremiah said

Crap

"And?" Mon-El replied

"That's it. I know who you are. And I doubt Kara would like the truth." Jeremiah said before entering Kara's apartment, living him standing in the middle of the hallway alone.

Oh no...


The next day, Mon-El didn't have the guts to face Kara and her father at the DEO. He had to resolve this issue about Jeremiah though. But how? The Daxamite eventually came to the decision to call the one person that he thought could understand his side of things.

Mon-El sat on a stool at the bar, sipping on his drink and waiting for the other man to come. Suddenly, the bar door swung open and Winn entered the room and joined Mon-El at the bar

"Hey." Winn said as he sat down next to him.

"For you." Mon-El said as he passed a glass to him

"Ooh!" Winn said as he happily took the drink

"Perfect timing. Thanks for coming." the Daxamite replied

"Always happy to grab a drink, but you do realize we're like kind of in all-hands-on-deck situation right now? You know,

trying to track down that fusion b-o-m-b." Winn said, trying to cover up his previous set of words

"Very discrete." Mon-El declared sarcastically

"Yeah. And speaking of What's so top secret that you can't talk to me at the DEO?" Winn asked

"Um It's Jeremiah's return. What if What if Cadmus allowed us to "rescue" Jeremiah so he could sabotage us? Just when this, this doomsday bomb is about to be detonated. I mean, think about it" Mon-El explained hastily,

"Okay. You know what I knew I shouldn't have given you my Netflix password. Because watching that much 24 at once is not healthy, I told you." Winn said to the alien

"I-I-I'm not being paranoid here, Winn. I'm not. When When is the last time we were this lucky? Lucky enough that Cadmus was moving their most valuable prisoner, a guy that the DEO has been unable to find for over 15 years? And he just He just lands in our lap?" Mon-El questions

"So, you think Jeremiah is…"

"It's just He is somebody that we need to keep our guard up around. At least until we know exactly what he's has been doing for the past 15 years." Mon-El finished for him

"Yeah. Okay… I'll help you." Winn replied

"Are you really? Hey, thank you."

"Yeah, yeah." Winn said brushing the comment off

"You're a good friend"

"I know." Winn said as Mon-El laughed before taking another sip of his drink "You-You realize now that you That you owe me a favor in return."

"Anything." Mon-El answered. He was just so grateful that somebody understood his plan, let alone help him like Winn did.

"Just be good to her." Winn

Kara. That's right. They're friends. Best friends in fact.

"I will." Mon-El answered, not only promising Winn but himself as well. He couldn't bear for her to get hurt. She deserved someone who would treat her with every ounce of him. And Mon-El was determined to be that man.

Suddenly a blond Starhaven woman approached them and clutched onto Winn.

"Hey. I didn't think we were meeting until a little later." the woman said to Winn as she played with his hair.

Who the heck is this? I never heard of a girlfriend… And from Starhaven? Wow, that's something that I'd never expect.

"Hey you. Yeah, I'm just catching up with my friend, Mon-El" Winn answered

"Uh-huh?" she responded

"Hmm." Winn responded quietly

"Pleasure to meet you." Mon-El said to the woman

"And you." she replied when she finally acknowledged the Daxamite's existence until she turned back to Winn "I'll see you

tonight."

"Okay." Winn answered

"Mmm-hmm." she said before kissing Winn's nose gently and walked away.

What just happened? Mon-El thought. He even had to look back to check if Winn's girl was actually real. But of course, she was and he turned back to Winn.

"You be good to her." the Daxamite said as the pair of them raised their glasses and clinked them against one another.

The two of them talked for another half an hour before Winn had to return to the DEO. Mon-El, on the other hand, decided to wander around National City and explore.


As he walked in the park, Mon-El thought about his time on Earth. He didn't really believe in gods or God as Kara would say, but if some mystical force was the reason that he had landed on Earth, the Daxamite had a lot of thanking to do. He compared his life now to when he lived on Daxam. Back then, he was a jerk and yes, he was self-righteous, but now… Okay yes, he was still self-righteous but at least he was changing, and although it was to be better for Kara, it was also for himself.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket. Mon-El pulled it out from his jeans and glanced at the screen.

Why is he calling me now? We just talked 20 minutes ago.

Regardless of what the Daxamite thought, he pressed the answer button displayed on his screen and held the phone to his ear.

"What's up Winn?" he asked

"I don't know but I just saw Jeremiah do something really sketchy" Winn answered

"What?" the Daxamite

"I think he was trying to break into the DEO mainframe"

Yes! I finally got him! Wait, Kara need to know about this, she doesn't know that he's not on our side.

"We need to tell Kara" Mon-El said into the device

"Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll get her right now"

"Thanks Winn. I'll be there as fast as I can" Mon-El said before he hung up and ran to the DEO.


As soon as he got back, he met Winn in one of the storage spaces. Mon-El didn't know how he was going to tell Kara that her father was not the man that she thought he was but he had to. For Kara's safety.

"Winn, you wanted to see me?" Kara said as she entered the room

"Yes. Give me… Just" Winn said looking at him, signalling him to close the door behind Kara as she turned around and acknowledged what was going on.

"If this is what I think it is…" she said attempting to walk out the door but Mon-El stood his ground, refusing to let her pass

"No. Nope. Turn around. 180. Back to there." he said as he spun her around and guided her back to the centre of the room "Listen, Winn found something and we think you should know about it."

"Okay." she said, not sounding all too pleased with them

"Okay. So, earlier today, J'onn's giving Jeremiah a tour of the facility. Right. So, when J'onn stepped away, I-I saw Jeremiah trying to break into the DEO mainframe" Winn explained

"Wait, wait. Stop for a second. Were you spying on Jeremiah?"

"Kara" Mon-El said

"Did you put him up to this?" she asked him, complete judgement in her voice

"You are not listening! Winn found something." Mon-El replied

"A "big" something." Winn added

"What?" she asked annoyed

"He actually broke in to the DEO system." Winn said, raising his voice just a tad too high

"Too loud." the Daxamite whispered

"I'm sorry. But it sure as hell looks like Jeremiah is spying on us." Winn said lowering his voice

"No, I told you. He's just trying to help us"

"He's not! Look I get it, he raised you and he is your father on this Earth but you can't let that blind you from what he's really doing"

"And what might that be?" Kara asked

"Helping Cadmus get what they want"

"You know what? Why don't we just ask him?" Kara blurted out before walking out of the room

What? You can't do that! Mon-El thought, but it was already too late. Kara was already halfway up the stairs. There was nothing that the two men could do but follow the Kryptonian.

They followed her all the way to the main hall, where they saw J'onn, Alex and Jeremiah standing in front of the big screens.

"Hey, Jeremiah Can we talk for a minute?" Kara asked

"Sure. What's up?" Jeremiah said

Oh like you don't know…

"Is everything okay?" Alex asked

"Um…. Earlier today, you accessed some highly classified files from the DEO mainframe." Kara said, clearly unaware of how she should say the accusation that was on him

"That's true. I did." he answered

Ha! Gotcha you little weasel!

"Why?" Alex asked

"I tried to use my old passkey to look at some case files. But the access codes have changed, so I did a workaround to get inside." Jeremiah answered

"What were you looking at?" J'onn asked curiously

"Case files from the last 24 months. I wanted to see what my daughters had been up to. The crises you faced. The people you saved. The adventures you've been on. I've been away so long Case histories are just a way for me to feel like I was there. A little. I'm sorry." Jeremiah explained

"Winn?" J'onn asked

"Uh..Your… Yeah-Yeah He's-He's telling the truth. I mean, looks like it's just a bunch of old case files." Winn answered after pressing a few buttons on his tablet

"Oh, Dad… Um You both are unbelievable." Alex said to both Winn and Mon-El but then she turned and pointed her finger at Kara as she walked away "But you, you're something else."


"Look, dude, just don't try so hard. Kara's a badass. She's doesn't need a protector, or Or someone to show her off. The girl does that all by herself." Winn said

"So what's left for me?" Mon-El asked curiously

"Maybe, ask her. Just listen to her. She's the one you're dating." Winn suggested, but they were interrupted by the chiming of Winn's cellphone

"Yo, hold up. Okay." he exclaimed as he glanced at his phone

"What?" Mon-El asked

"Remember that time I was good at literally everything?" Winn asked

"No." Mon-El answered, and he was being entirely serious

"Well, it paid off! We tracked Supergirl's radiation signature. Cadmus is moving the fusion bomb." the young genius said as he walked off and out of the bar. Knowing that they would probably need all hands on deck, the Daxamite followed the DEO agent, all the way back to the large building, where the both of them met with the rest of the team.

"So what's the plan?" Kara asked

"I have already given the coordinates to Alex. You, Mon-El and Alex will assemble a team to join you on checking out this location" J'onn answered

"Well okay then. Let's finally catch these guys" Kara said.

Shortly after the plan was made, Mon-El and Kara changed into their suits as Alex gathered the team. As soon as they were ready, they grabbed what they needed and jumped into a van and quickly drove to the location.

Once the van pulled up to the warehouse, everyone leaped out of the vehicles, weapons ready, and approached the closed doors. "All right.I'm in position. Dad, you there?" Alex said into her comms

"Right here, Alex"

"Standing by for your instructions once we get inside." Alex informed them

"Be careful. Anything happens to that bomb before you disarm it, the whole city could go."

"Nothing's gonna happen."

"Let's stop them once and for all, girls." Jeremiah said into the comms

"Ready when you are, J'onn." Kara said

"On my mark." J'onn said "Three. Two. One. Engage!"

Suddenly, Kara and several of the agents shot at the door, causing it to explode and create a large hole. Hastily, every member on the team went separate ways and began searching the dark warehouse, but they found nothing.

"What the hell?" Mon-El asked as he looked around the dimly lit warehouse

"Something's not right." Kara said from beside the Daxamite

"J'onn, please advise. There's no sign of target." Alex asked but there was no answer "I repeat, there's no sign of target. There's nothing here." but once again, there was no response.

Even if no one said anything, everyone could hear an explosion through the comms.

What the hell is going on over there?

"We have to get back now" Kara said to the others and Alex simply nodded in response and they headed out of the warehouse.

But when they returned to the DEO, they found that the alarm has been triggered and found J'onn in the med bay.


"Is he okay?" Alex asked as they walked into the room

"Yeah, yeah, he will be. Look, Jeremiah got the jump on him." Winn said as one of the medics checked up on him

"He couldn't have. Hey, look, even if my dad has turned there is no way he could have overpowered J'onn." Alex said, defensively

"Yeah. That's what I would have thought." J'onn said groggily from the medical bed

"Oh, thank God you're okay." Kara sighed

"Jeremiah's arm, the one we thought had nerve damage, it's been enhanced. Cybernetically." J'onn said

Wait what?

"Like Hank Henshaw?" Kara asked

"Jeremiah isn't who he was. I'm sorry." J'onn said to Alex

"Not as sorry as Cadmus is gonna be." Alex said

"We'll find him." Kara reassured her sister

"How?" Mon-El asked after staying silent for the entire conversation

"Oh, okay. Um Okay. Don't be mad. But, I may have hid a tracker on Jeremiah." Winn confessed

"Where is he?" Alex asked

"Um…" Winn said as he looked at his tablet "I don't know exactly but it is definitely somewhere in the forest by the bridge"

Suddenly, Alex began to walk out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Kara asked

"To go track those jerks down" Alex said as she continued to walk out the door

"Wait hold up. You don't want to get a team ready?" Kara asked

"No" she said, continuing to walk towards the exit

"Let us come with you" Kara asked as she and Mon-El followed her older sister

"What no" Alex said but Kara gave her a disapproving look "Okay fine, but Mon-El stays here"

"What?" the Daxamite opposed but Kara shot the exact same look that she gave to her sister moments ago "Okay, fine" he said as he retreated his steps and

"Let's go" Alex said and the two Danvers sisters walked out of the DEO.

Nearly half an hour later, Winn had told Mon-El that Kara and Alex had returned from their scavenge for Jeremiah while he was training. As soon as Winn told him the news, he ran up the stairs to see her but he must have missed her because she was nowhere to be found.

"Where did Kara go?" he asked one of the agents

"Um… I don't know. It's pretty late. Maybe she went home?" the agent answered

"Okay" Mon-El replied "Do you know if they were able to catch Jeremiah?"

"Um, I don't think so…" the man replied

"Alright thanks" Mon-El said before walking out of the building and to Kara's apartment


It didn't take long for Mon-El to arrive at Kara's apartment. Once he stood in front of the white door, he knocked on the wood softly, scared that he might wake the Kryptonian if she were sleeping

"It's unlocked." Kara said softly

Mon-El pushed the door open and walked in to see her curled up on her couch in a blanket

"Hey. You okay?" he asked

"No." she answered quietly

"No? Yeah. Hey, today was a-a little… I just want to… I'm not-I'm not gonna talk. Hmm?" he said as he took a seat on the couch with her "Why don't you Why don't you tell me what you need? I'll listen."

"Just be here with me." she answered and he couldn't help but feel complete and utter sadness as he looked at her face, full of pain and despair.

"Okay. Hey, come here. Come here." he said as he pulled her close to him, resting her head in the crook of his neck "Just Just sit here?"

"Yeah." she murmured

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, just like this" she said before sniffling

"Do you need anything else? Or…" Mon-El offered

"To wake up with me." Kara answered simply

"Hey. I'd love to." he replied before he kissed her gently on the forehead

It was so quiet you could hear the citizens of National City talking outside the window but then the silence was broken when Kara's phone rang

"You don't need to…" Mon-El said but Kara had already picked up her phone

"Winn, did you figure out what Jeremiah stole from the DEO computers?" she said into the phone "Okay, I'm coming in."

"Hey, what? What is it?" he asked

"Cadmus has the list of all the aliens in the country." she answered

"Well, what do we do?" Mon-El asked

"We get up." Kara said as she got off the couch and began to walk to her front door

"Yeah, we do." he said as he followed her up and out of the apartment
