Supergirl watched from above as the young man jumped into crater left by the meteor. It had to have been a fifty foot drop, how did he not break a limb or two? Who the hell was this guy? He may have been strong, but Kara could tell he wasn't strong enough to fight the effects from the meteor waves. She watched as he fell to the ground next to his mother. This couldn't be good.

"Alex,I have two down by the meteor. I'm going to bring them in."

Supergirl flew down to the mother and son. The woman was trapped under debris and the boy...the boy had grown an awful lot of facial hair and some sharp teeth. What the hell did the meteor waves do to him?

Kara moved the rocks off the woman and picked up her and her son.

"Supergirl, you cannot bring them here to the DEO. They need the hospital," Alex Danvers said into Supergirl's earpiece.

"Alex, I can't bring them to a hospital. The meteor has clearly effected the guy. His physical characteristics have changed into something almost dog-like, and he was only down there a minute. His mother was down there longer, so who knows how she will be effected. I'm bringing them in."

Alex shook her head and smiled. There was no way of changing her sister's mind when it was set on something. "I'll tell medical to get ready."

"I've never seen anything like it," Alex Danvers said. "And I've seen a lot of out there stuff, I mean it comes with the job, but a dog-boy? That's definitely a new one."

Supergirl and Alex were in the medical room at the DEO where the two people she pulled out of the crater were being treated. They were both unconscious and specialists weren't sure when they would wake up.

"While it's true radiation from meteors can affect humans in many different ways, to alter someone's physical appearance so drastically in such a small timeframe is unheard of. I'm led to believe this young man was afflicted with these deformities before being exposed to the meteor waves," Dr. Goodridge explained.

"Doctor, I saw him before he ended up in the crater. He didn't look like this."

"It's possible it lays dormant and these traits only come out when a certain trigger is pulled. Is it really so hard to believe that this young man has an alter-ego just like yourself and many others out there?"

"Well, no, I suppose not."

"When do you think they will wake up, Doctor?" Alex asked.

"It really is hard to say. Neither have any life-threatening injuries. The woman has suffered some physical trauma, but nothing is broken. Just some bruising. It's really up to them as to when they decide to wake up. Until then we'll monitor them continuously for any changes."

"It's been three days. I hope they wake up soon."

Kara and Alex were sitting on the couch in Kara's apartment eating take-out from their favorite Chinese restaurant.

"They'll wake up, Kara."

"You heard Dr. Goodridge, Alex. The longer they're unconscious the harder it will be for them to wake up." Kara put the container of chow mein on the coffee table in front of her. She didn't have much of an appetite these days.

"Kara, you can't blame yourself. This was totally out of your control."

"If I had gotten there sooner, none of this would have happened. That boy and his mother would be okay."

Alex put her food down and scooted closer to her sister. She put a hand on her knee and said, "Kara, that's my fault not yours. If I had given you the right coordinates you would have arrived there in time to stop the meteor from making impact. That's on me, not you."

Kara placed her hand on top of her sisters'. "I still should have been fast enough. Clark would have made it in time."

"Don't do that, Kara. Don't compare yourself to Superman. Neither of you are perfect. You both have your limitations. You can't expect to always save everyone, Kara. You have to accept the fact that there will come a time when there will be casualties, but fortunately that time hasn't arrived yet, because those two people you pulled out of that crater are going to be okay. They are."

Kara leaned over and rested her head on Alex's shoulder. "Alex, this sucks."

"No one said being a superhero was easy. Just ask your cousin."

"Pshh, he makes it look effortless."

"Well, so do you, Kara. When you're on the outside looking in, things always appear different than what they actually are. Maybe you should reach out to him and by reach out I mean go see him, not text or IM. I think talking to him will do you good."

"No, if I ask him for advice he's going to think I can't handle it, and I can. It's just been a rough couple of days that's all."

"No matter what you think, Kara Danvers, you ARE human where it counts. You may be from another planet and you may have special powers, but you are also a woman who feels things just like everyone else; maybe even more intensely than anyone else. Don't try to bury that. Embrace it. It's your strength not your weakness."

"I wish I believed in me the way you do."

Alex embraced her sister in a tight hug. "You will, but until then and even after then, I'll be in your corner cheering you on. We're a team you and me."

"I love you, Alex."

"Love you more, Supergirl."

"Keira! Get in here now, please!"

Kara was sitting at her desk in front of Ms. Grant's office, trying to focus on getting Cat's schedule set for the following month, when she heard her boss call for her.

"Yes, Ms. Grant?"

Cat Grant sat behind her desk with a look on her face that would have made Hitler himself shake in his boots.

"Keira, I've got a bone to pick with you. I just got a very interesting phone call from Mr. Wayne's assistant asking me if I would still make our meeting that I was apparently late for. Now, you can imagine my distain and distress, Keira, when I realized I had no idea what she was talking about, because on my calendar at my desk and in my phone it says my meeting with Mr. Wayne is for NEXT Monday, not today. Would you mind explaining to me why I just had to pretty much make a fool of myself and BEG Mr. Wayne's assistant to squeeze me in at another time? Hmm, Keira?"

Kara could see the steam escaping from her boss's ears. "Ms. Grant, I apologize, I must have mixed up the dates. I am so sorry. That's not like me."

Cat stood up and walked over to Kara. "You're right, it isn't like you to be so careless and reckless and irresponsible with such a mundane task as handling my day-to-day schedule, Keira. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I, well," Kara didn't know where to begin. She wished she could tell her boss about the last few days and how all her thoughts and energy have been on the young man and his mother. She wished she could say how overwhelmed she felt with not just her life as Supergirl, but as Kara Danvers, too, but she knew even if she did explain herself it wouldn't have made much difference. Cat Grant didn't accept excuses from anyone.

"Cat got your tongue, Keira?"

"Something like that."

Cat gave Kara a knowing look. "Don't let it happen again. Go back to your desk and look over my schedule with a magnifying glass and make sure there are no more errors. Go, you're dismissed."

"You're not firing me?"

"Don't tempt me. Go, Keira," and with a sway of her hand Cat turned and walked back to her desk.

As Kara was walking out of Ms. Grant's office, her cellphone began to ring. Kara looked at the screen and saw that it was Alex calling her.

"What's up, Alex?"

"Kara, get to the DEO as soon as you can. The boy, he's awake."

"I'll be right there."

Kara hung up the phone and walked over to her best friend Winn's desk.

"Hey, Kara. What's with the look on your face? Everything okay?"

"Yeah, uhm, look can I ask a huge favor of you?"

"Anything, name it."

"I need to get to the DEO. The boy I saved from the crater the other day woke up, but I kind of messed up Ms. Grant's schedules and if I don't go over them and fix them immediately I can pretty much kiss my job goodbye."

"Say no more. I'll fix the schedules. Not a problem."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Oh, Winn, you're the best," Kara planted a kiss on her best friend's cheek. "I owe you!"

"Uh, yeah, no, don't even worry about it, really. It's cool."

Kara raced toward the stairs to the rooftop of CatCo.

"Where am I, where's my mother?" Scott McCall asked the woman who had introduced herself as Alex. He didn't know what the heck was going on, but he wanted answers.

"Your mom is right over there." Alex pointed behind Scott.

Scott turned and walked over to his mom. "How long have we been here?"

Alex walked over to the young man. "Four days. Do you remember what happened?"

"The meteor. It's a bit hazy, but I remember a girl in blue who could fly. I think. That sounds like a dream or something, but it seemed so real."

"I'm real, I can you promise you that."

Scott turned and saw the girl with the red cape standing in the doorway. "So, I didn't dream you up."

"Nope. You can call me Supergirl."

"Like Superman? Are you guys related or something?"

"You know of Superman, but you don't know me? I'm his cousin."

"Everyone knows Superman."

"Fair enough. So you know my name, what's yours?"

"I'm Scott, and this is my mom, Melissa. We're from Beacon Hills."

"Never heard of it."

"Well, I have," Alex chimed in.

"You have?" Supergirl and Scott said in unison.

"It all makes sense now," Alex said as she made her way over to Scott and her sister.

"What does?" Scott asked.

Alex reached out and lightly grazed her hand over Scott's face. "Your face. We thought it was due to being exposed to the radiation from the meteor, but now I know. You're a werewolf, aren't you?"

Scott instinctively put both hands on his face and noticed that he was morphed in his wolf form. "Oh, no."

"A werewolf? Alex, what are you talking about?" Supergirl asked her sister.

"There have been rumors for years here at the DEO regarding supernatural occurrences in different parts of the country. Beacon Hills has been on our radar for quite some time. It's a fascinating little town. So many unexplainable "animal attacks" and fatalities. We never found any concrete proof, but off the record, we knew it was werewolves."

"I seriously can't believe this," Supergirl said, dumbfounded.

"What are you going to do to me? Whatever experiments you want to run on me, you can leave my mother out of it. She's not like me."

"There will be no experimenting," Supergirl said. "Right, Alex?"

"Of course! Scott we don't want to do anything with you, but get you and your mom better. That's our only objective."

"I think the meteor did have some sort of effect on me. Usually I can turn back to my human form seamlessly, but it's not working. Do you think I'll be stuck this way?! I can't be stuck like this!" Scott started pacing back and forth. "This is a disaster. I knew nothing good would come from this move. I didn't want to say anything for mom's sake, but I knew it. I had a bad feeling that it was going to be bad, and now look!"

Supergirl put her hands on Scott's shoulder and looked him in the eyes. "Scott calm down. We're going to help you through this. You're not alone.

"But I am alone! I don't know you people! How can you expect me to trust you?!"

Scott let out a roar that shook the room, shattered all the glass, and knocked Supergirl and Alex across the room.

"Whoa! Dude! So not cool! Next time can you send out a warning before you decide to knock us and everything else on our asses? Mucho gracias," Alex said as Supergirl helped her get back to her feet.

"Scott, what the hell was that?" Supergirl asked. "You're unlike any werewolf I've ever read about."

Scott just stood there, unable to move and stunned by what had just happened.

"Scott? Are you alright?"

Scott shook his head back and forth. "Definitely not alright. That's never happened before. I don't know how..."

"The meteor," Supergirl said. "It must have effected your wolf side."

"Scott, I'd like you to see our team of specialists. Before when you were unconscious, we only ran the standard tests for humans, but now knowing that you're much more than that, we can run more in depth testing. We can help you understand what's going on in your body."

"Okay, but I'd like to sit with my mom for a while before getting into all that if you don't mind."

Alex put a hand on Scott's shoulder and gave a comforting squeeze. "Whenever you're ready."

Supergirl and Alex walked out of the room and gave Scott some privacy with his mom.

Scott picked up a stool that had been knocked over from his magnified howl and brought it next to his mom's bed. He sat down and took a hold of her hand.

"Oh, mom. I am so sorry. Please wake up. Please. I don't know what I would do without you." Scott rested his head on his mother's shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Scott."

Scott opened his eyes and shot upright. "Mom?" Melissa was awake.

"Scott, honey, are you there?"

Scott sat on the bed, held his mother's hand, and looked her in the eyes. Something was wrong. Melissa's once deep brown eyes were now an unnaturally bright shade of purple, almost amethyst-like.

A panic started to wash over Melissa. "Scott where are you?!"

"Mom, I'm right here."

Melissa began to cry. "I hear you and I feel you, but why can't I see you?! Why can't I see anything, Scott?!"
