A/N: Sorry this is later than planned, but I unexpectedly got to fly home on Friday so lost 24 hours transiting through places.


"How is she?" J'onn asked when he entered Alex's room.

"All her vitals are stable and Dr Hamilton has stopped all the sedatives so she's drifting in and out." Eliza said. "Hamilton said if she does as she is told it should be a quick recovery."

"It's probably a good thing she is asleep while Kara isn't here." J'onn said. "We'll have enough trouble getting her to rest as it is."

"What exactly happened to Kara?" Eliza asked. "Why is she being so distant?"

"She was attacked by a telepathic being. I don't know much about them, but according to Mon-El they can induce visions based on fears. Kara said she was immune but I'm starting to doubt that." He explained as Alex started to stir.

"Hi Sweetie." Eliza said gently.

"Mom?" Alex asked confused.

"I'm right here." Eliza smiled. "Do you want anything?"

"Where's Kara?" Alex asked as she looked round the room.

"At home resting." Eliza said hoping it was the truth.

"Is she doing okay?" Alex asked frowning.

"Right now you need to worry about yourself." Eliza said. "Follow Kara's example and get some rest."

"When did you get so good at deflecting?" Alex asked trying to blink away her tiredness.

"I'm not deflecting, I just want you to take care of yourself for once. Please get some sleep."

"Not tired." Alex lied.

"Sure you're not." Maggie said as she squeezed Alex's hand.

"Maggie?" Alex asked.

"Right here." Maggie smiled.

"What happened?" Alex asked.

"You were shot." J'onn stated.

"I remember that. Wait! The Kryptonite." Alex exclaimed wincing as she moved.

"Calm down." J''onn said. "Winn is monitoring the city for Kryptonite."

"Why is Kara at home? She should be here where the Kryptonite can't get her." Alex said.

"Kara needed rest." J'onn said. "We have her under surveillance. She'll be fine. But you need to rest."

"So she's safe?" Alex asked.

"As safe as she can be." J'onn said. "Now get some sleep before I order Hamilton to sedate you again."

When Alex finally drifted back to sleep Maggie offered.

"You want me to go talk to Kara again?"

"No, you stay with Alex. I'm sure she'll prefer your company. It is time Kara and I had a long talk." Eliza said.

Having knocked on the door Eliza waited, surprised when she heard some bangs from the other side.

"Kara, it's me. Is everything okay in there?" Eliza called through the door.

"Just a minute." She heard Kara call before hearing some more bangs just before the door finally opened just as Kara asked. "Eliza? Has something happened to Alex?"

"She woke up. And you weren't there." Eliza said.

"I'll come down later."

"I think you should come down now."

"I can't, I'm doing something." Kara said not moving away from the door.

"Something?" Eliza asked.

"Yeah, something." Kara said not able to come up with a suitable lie.

"Why aren't you letting me in?" Eliza asked. "Come on Kara, let me come in, we need to talk."

Reluctantly Kara glanced back into her apartment before stepping to one side and letting Eliza in.

"Why are you staying away?" Eliza asked looking round the apartment trying to figure out what Kara had been up to.

"She's been through so much because of me." Kara said.

"What do you think she'll go through when she finds out you are avoiding her?" Eliza asked.

"I'm not avoiding her."

"No, you are avoiding everyone. Why? What's happened? Does it have something to do with the Narth?" Eliza questioned before she realised what was wrong in the apartment. "Where is all your stuff?"

"I was redecorating." Kara lied.

"Redecorating? Please don't like to me." She said immediately detecting that Kara was lying. "Are you leaving?" Eliza asked, when Kara didn't immediately deny it Eliza wrapped her arms round her. "You can't leave. Alex needs you."

"No she doesn't. She'd be better off without me."

"Listen to me Kara." Eliza said pulling back so she could look her in the eyes. "Alex does not want you to leave. You need to come to the DEO with me. Alex needs you."

"I can't." Kara said pulling away. "I have to go. There's been an accident." Not giving Eliza the chance to respond she flew out of the window.

Left alone in the apartment Eliza started to look around. Moving towards the lounge area she looked into Kara's bedroom and saw all the boxes that Kara had been packing.

"Oh Kara." She said sadly before noticing the trash can full of scrunched up bits of paper. Picking one up she un-scrunched it and saw it was the start of a letter written to Alex. Torn between invading her daughter's privacy and getting closer to discovering what was wrong with her she sat on the bed before finally reading the note.

'Dear Alex,

I am so sorry for all the pain I have caused you and everything I have cost you. I know what I have to do but I'm not strong enough to tell you in person because I know you will try to stop me so'

With that the letter just stopped. Guessing the rest of the thrown away paper was similarly started letters Eliza sighed before writing her own note to Kara, pleading with her to come to the DEO.

"Alex? You're up? Should you be?" Mon-El asked as Alex, supported by Maggie, approached him.

"I need your help." Alex said.

"Of course, what do you need?"

"Do you speak Narth?" Alex asked.

"I'm a little rusty, but I can speak some."

"Good, come with me." Alex said.

"Come where? Should you be walking?"

"No." Maggie said supporting most of Alex's weight.

"I'm fine." Alex said before explaining to Mon-El. "I need to speak to the Narth so I need you to translate."

"Okay." He agreed before offering. "Do you want me to carry you? I know how painful bullets are."

"I'm fine." Alex said as she arrived at the containment area.

"I need you to ask what he did to Kara." Alex explained.

"Um okay." Mon-El said turning to face the Narth.

"Foj Jeh ben mi, hud akata benitto flast gat."

"Huj, huj, huj. Pleb hakate flune kanata grekko." The creature replied.

"He said he meant no harm, he was scared and she touched him. He had no control." Mon-El said.

"I don't care about that. I need to know what she saw in the vision." Alex said.

"Foj jekko haddin mekkillo fantic." Mon-El said.

"Mekkillo, fraij jin hak funde hakkote adnin...iin beffit kune."

"Well?" Alex asked impatiently.

"Just give me a second to translate." Mon-El said. After a pause he explained. "He said he doesn't control the visions, nor does he see them. But he did see so much sadness in her."

"I could have told him that." Alex said feeling angry and frustrated. "So he causes her to have visions but can't say what. All he can do is state the obvious. Great we have found the equivalent of a Betazoid."

"A what?" Mon-El asked confused.

Ignoring him Alex looked to Maggie and said.

"I need you to take me to Kara."

"Absolutely not." Maggie said. "I shouldn't even be helping you walk round the DEO. You need to rest."

"Once I have seen Kara I will. I'm going to go and see her with or without your help."

"I get that you need to see Kara, but if you turn up at her apartment and collapse in an unconscious heap it is going to stress her out even more. Your mom has gone to see her, at least see if she can get her to come down here first." Maggie reasoned. "If your mom fails then I'll help you, but if you start getting worse I will bring you straight back."
