A/N: Thanks for the comments.
Guest (1) - I am planning on having a trip into Argo included in this with a few characters going, but not everyone.
"Go easy on your mom." Eliza said to her oldest grandchild the next morning.
"I will. Kind of." The teenager said hugging her.
"I know." Eliza said before moving onto MJ and pulling him for a very reluctant hug.
"Don't grow too much before I see you again." She said.
"Sure." He said escaping the hug and moving to a position behind his cousin.
"I'll see you soon. Remember you can call me anytime." Eliza said to the teenager as she hugged her. "And don't worry about your mom so much." She whispered before pulling away and looking at all three children. "There is plenty of food in the freezer."
"And after that mom's credit card." MJ said.
"Time for school." The adult Alex said before ushering the three out of the house.
Once the teenage trio had left for school Eliza turned to her daughters and pulled them both in for a hug.
"I am going to miss you."
"Us too." Kara said.
"I know it is hard and there is a lot going on, but take time for yourself as well." Eliza said pulling back and looking at Kara.
"Same goes for you." She said to Alex. "You don't need to shoulder this alone."
"I know." Alex said hugging her once more.
"Don't worry I'll get her back safely." J'onn assured Alex and Kara. "I'll see you tomorrow." He added before leading Eliza to his car.
"You okay?" Kara asked Alex as they watched the car drive off.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look it."
"I appreciate the pep talk." Alex replied sarcastically.
"You're welcome." Kara replied. "I have to go to a staff meeting. I'll see you at the DEO this afternoon."

"You know Eliza will come back if you ask?" Supergirl said as she approached her sister at the DEO late that afternoon.
"Yeah, why?" Alex asked turning to face her.
"You seem a little stressed."
"I am, but not from mom leaving."
"Then what?"
"I feel like we are speeding into a trap. I just can't figure out what that trap is." Alex confessed.
"Any news on our returned people?"
"All tests still coming back negative for everything."
"So they can go?"
"Not yet. We have to be absolutely sure and the threat Mongul made clouds the water. Not to mention all the missing lieutenants. Plus there is still a fleet out there who might be biding time. Things could be timed for the fleet to return at the same time the trojan horse is released." Alex listed.
"Or Mongul's empire could have disbanded. Or the people who have taken it over view us as unnecessary to their plans. I mean if they come back to rescue Mongul they ultimately lose power." Supergirl pointed out.
"Or they could come and kill Mongul and us to cement their power." Alex countered.
"I've missed these optimistic talks." Supergirl said before adding. "Well any news from Brainy and Nia?"
"No. Nothing new. The rumour mill is quiet at the moment." Alex said.
"That's good isn't it?"
"Or just really worrying."
"Ma'am, we have another problem." Harris said approaching the pair.
"What?" Alex asked.
"Do you remember that AR app that cropped up before the invasion?"
"The Pokemon game?" Supergirl asked.
"Please don't call it that." Alex said before looking back at Harris. "What about it?"
"It's back and this time they are using more than just LEOs and us. We think families are on there as well." He said displaying the map view of the game showing different colour dots.
"You think?" Alex asked as she took out her phone and looked at where Kara and MJ were.
"Yes Ma'am. We can't tell for sure as there is no personal information linked with the targets, but seeing how many extra targets are at schools and homes we think it is family."
"MJ and Kara are on that." Alex said suddenly correlating the map on the large screen with the one on her phone.
"Where are they?" Supergirl asked.
"MJ is by the school and Kara is a block from the house, I don't know about Alex." Alex said, knowing Kara didn't track her.
As Kara looked at the game screen and saw how many hostile dots were nearing MJ she made a decision and said.
"I'll get MJ first." Not waiting for Alex to respond she flew from the DEO.
"Ma'am, Pedersen is near your daughter, do you want me to re-route her?" Harris asked.
"Yes." Alex said knowing she was too far away to help either of her children.

"Don't you have better things to do?" The teenage Alex asked her cousin as they walked Chewie.
"Like what?"
"I don't know. Club stuff, friends stuff." The teenage Alex listed.
"You sick of spending time with me?" The older teenager asked.
"No. I just thought now your leg was better you'd go back to playing all those sports you talked about."
"My leg might be better, but I am not part of that group anymore." The teenage Kara said.
"Do you want to be?"
"I don't know. Do the questions mean you are thinking of joining a club?"
"No. I just don't want you to feel like you have to hang out."
"I don't. I don't do things I don't want to. Ask mom if you don't believe me." The teenage Kara assured her. "Besides I like spending time with Chewie." Kara said as her phone rang.
"Hey mom." She answered. "What do you mean? ...Yes she's with me …. Okay we're moving. Okay we'll hold on."
Suddenly a group of five, holding knives and baseball bats rounded a corner and approached them.
"Other way." Kara said quickly turning only to find three other individuals with weapons walking towards them.
-00-
As Supergirl approached the school car park she saw a gang surrounding a lone figure, who was her nephew. Despite how fast she flew she could reach the group before MJ had been knocked to the ground. Having to act quickly Supergirl landed in front of her fallen nephew and caught the baseball bat that was swinging towards him before using her freeze breath to blow all the attackers away.
"MJ?" She asked picking him up. "You okay?" Too shocked to answer the teenager blankly looked at his aunt who repeated. "MJ, are you okay?"
"Yeah." He said, sounding far from certain.
"Let's get you out of here."
"We going to fly?" He asked.
"We're going to fly." She confirmed before flying him to the DEO.
-00-
"It's the one on the left." One of the armed men said pointing at the teenage Kara. "Take her."
"The other?"
"Who cares. Just don't kill her or we are out of it." He said advancing on Kara.
"You know that scene in Star Wars? Want to recreate it with the dumpster?" Kara asked her cousin.
"I'll try." Alex said sounding unsure just as all of the men descended on the pair. As Chewie went berserk Alex tried and failed to move the dumpster, while Kara was grabbed and dragged towards a van.
"Kara!" Alex screamed as she decided to try and punch her way out of her situation, something her super strength made it easy to do. But by the time she was free of the three men who were attacking her, the teenage Kara was nearly at the van.
Shutting her eyes she tried to get calm before once again looking at the dumpster and trying to send it flying towards the men holding her cousin. Moments later the dumpster took to the air and crashed into the back of the would be kidnappers who went flying to the ground, taking Kara with them.
Wasting no time Alex ran towards the heap, followed by an enthusiastic dog, and started to pull Kara free. It was then she noticed they weren't alone and another set of hands were effortlessly pulling the groaning men off her cousin.
As she was pulled free, the very shaken and slightly bruised Kara looked at her rescuers.
"Ruby?" She asked confused.
"Let's get you out of here." Ruby said ushering them to the car.
"You guys okay?" Ruby asked as she started to drive the two teenagers back to the DEO.
"I guess. What's happening?" Kara asked, sounding far from it.
"Families of DEO workers are being targeted. That's all I know."
"Are we going back to the safe room?"
"No, your mom wants you at the DEO."
"She never wants us at the DEO." Kara said suspiciously.
"Well today she does." Ruby said before glancing round and looking at the teenage Alex.
"You're Kara's daughter right?"
"Yes."
"Nice moves out there. Are you hurt?" Ruby said.
"No."
"Good." Ruby said before adding. "When we are at the DEO it is really important you don't seem connected to Supergirl okay?"
"You know?" Alex asked.
"Ruby is half Kryptonian, kind of." The teenage Kara explained. "She used to babysit us." She added as if that explained the situation.
