Later that night, Kara flew in through Alex's open window. The curtains billowed as Alex set out the already ordered pizza.
"How'd it go out there, sis? First real day on the job."
Kara beamed. "It was awesome. I think you were right, it was exactly what I needed. I feel better already."
Alex looked at her little sister knowingly. "You think I was right? You know I'm always right. I don't know what this 'you think' business is."
Kara lightly punched Alex on the arm. "Yeah, okay. Whatever. Pass me the pizza."
Alex was about to hand it over before remembering. "If I give you this box of pizza, will there still be a slice left when I get it back?"
Kara smiled sheepishly and super sped the box into her hand. When Alex finally got a clear view of the box, all of it was gone.
"Alex, this is what you get for teasing me earlier. I was trying to compliment you for being correct in this current circumstance and then you went all 'I'm always right.' So, I decided to show you that I'm 'always hungry'!" Kara's smile kept growing wider.
Alex did her best impression of an offended person. "I have absolutely zero idea whatsoever of what you could possibly be referencing at this current moment in time. I will not stand for this slander! Don't try to act like a victim here. We both know even if I hadn't said anything, that box would still be gone anyways."
Kara grinned, but decided to ease up. "Sorry, Lex. I suppose I could go out to that awesome pizza place in New York and get you some of your favorite to make up for it. But, I can't promise the box will be full when I get back."
Alex smirked, but shook her head. "It's fine. At least I ate two slices before you got here. That's a record for me." She then patted the couch cushion next to her. "Come sit next to your big sister, and pick out a movie... Unless of course, you aren't going to be cooperative. It seems you've been having trouble with that tonight."
Kara shrugged. "I could never be uncooperative, especially with my older sister. You know what they say, respect your elders. And you're really old. I mean really old."
As Kara sat down, she found herself getting smacked in the face with a pillow. She laughed. "I've decided that I will be the bigger woman today and not hit you back."
Alex laughed. "All this heroing got you high and mighty, huh? Too good to even hit me with a pillow?"
Kara smiled. "I mean... If you insist, I could just-"
She was interrupted by mild protests from Alex.
Kara then grew slightly serious. "I think maybe if I keep up as Supergirl, and spend lots of time with you, everything will end up alright."
Alex nodded, in full agreement. "Keep your loved ones close, Kar. Me, J'onn, apparently Winn. We're all here for you." She said Winn's name with a playful frown.
Kara smiled and wrapped her arms around her big sister. Pulling her in tight, she whispered. "I love you, Lex."
"Mmm, love you too Kar."
They fell asleep on the couch, with the TV playing in the background.
The sisters woke up the next morning to a news recap. They were playing clips of Superman's rampage and apparent betrayal to his own city, as well as National City.
It reminded Kara. "Hey, have you made any progress with Clark's poison situation?"
Alex sighed, and shook her head no. "Sorry, Kar. But no. I just have no idea what's going on, and I can't even identify anything at the cellular level. His brain chemistry seems to be altered, but it's almost normal. I can't pinpoint the exact area that's off."
Kara pondered, wondering how she could help. "Is there anyone who could help maybe? We could call Eliza again."
Alex shook her head. "No, she just got back to Midvale. I'd hate to drag her out again so soon."
They both sat there, running through a list of people in their heads of anyone who could help.
That's when Alex jolted up. "I know who, Kar... Guess it's high time we pay another visit to Lillian, don't you think?"
Kara nodded, inwardly slapping herself for not having considered Cadmus as a possibility.
They quickly got dressed, and flew to the DEO. Simultaneously, they burst into Lillian and Hank's containment room and were not at all surprised when they found them smirking.
Alex sighed. "Definitely should have thought of them first. Should have known it was their fault."
All Kara did was nod, before she slammed the door shut, leaving just the four in the room alone.
