J'onn had been around Izzy a few times before she was left in his care. Winn was off from work, Alex had a date with Maggie, and Mon-El went with Kara. Normally the little girl was placed somewhere out of the way, on a quilt that used to belong to Superman, playing with her things or drawing.
But not today. No, today she decided to follow J'onn around as he commanded.
"Sir," one of his agents called. J'onn walked over, ignore the pitter-patter of feet behind him. He glances to the floor when he gets to the console, watching Izzy catch up to them, Eva being pulled by her tail.
His eyes catch the ash blond hair and his mind gets thrown back to him.
J'onn, not wanting General Lane to get the girl, had put Izzy's other donor under so much red tape that other than the DEO agents, who are all under contract to keep their mouths shut, only the President knew of Izzy's true parentage. And J'onn was determined to keep it that way.
"Do you want something sweetheart?" Vasquez asked Izzy when she sits down next to J'onn.
The girl tilts her head to the side, growling when Vasquez gets too close. She stares at the woman before replying, "Khehthgr."
"What?" Vasquez asked as J'onn grips the side of the console tighter.
"Khehthgr," Izzy replies as she points at J'onn.
Vasquez stands up and looks at J'onn, him ignoring both females.
"Sir? What does kethgir mean?" Vasquez asked, mutating the word completely.
"Nothing you need to worry about," J'onn replies, "And Agent Vasquez, I wouldn't suggest trying to speak Kryptonese around Supergirl."
Vasquez looks slightly horrified as she leaves, probably thinking she insulted someone or said a cursed word.
Not possible. Kryptonese doesn't have curse words like most earth languages seem to have. That was one of the reasons why Kara didn't really curse. They had curses, ones similar to 'Go to hell', but taken much worse by those who understand the religious or mythological history behind them.
(J'onn remembers Kara screaming at Non to 'go and freeze' and he chokes. Later he has to stop himself from lecturing the woman like she was a young teen.)
J'onn moves to another part of the floor and Izzy follows him again. He's tempted to pick her up, but the way kryptonians hold their children is weird to him and Kara hates it when Izzy is carried like a human child.
"Khehthgr," the girl calls when he gets too far away from her. J'onn stops walking, waiting for her to catch up, as he wonders who taught her that word.
"Izzy, why are you calling me that?" J'onn askes her as he takes her hand.
"Mamma and Aunt Alex say you like their papa. So you Izzy's grandpa," Izzy reasons.
She smart, J'onn realizes that moment. She's easily able to connect dots and figure things out on her own.
(Then again, Kara always talks to her like she expects Izzy to understand what she's trying to say. Never giving her the answers to things as she waits for Izzy to figure it out on her own. J'onn wonders if that is just how Kryptonians are raised. If their obsessive love for learning is forced onto children. And that Kara's intensive need to raise her child so un human she will accidentally teach her daughter the mistakes of Krypton as well.)
J'onn tightens his hold on Izzy's hand and wonder if he can get a miniature DEO uniform for Izzy.

Khehthgr- Grandfather
Kyrptonians teach their children to figure things out for themselves to the point of almost never giving them the answers.
