"Anything from the guys?" Supergirl asked as she entered the DEO control room the next day.

"The guys?" Alex asked confused.

"Valentine, Earl and Rhonda."

"We're not calling them that." Alex said.

"That's not what the camera feeds say." Supergirl said pointing to the screens that used the names as labels.

As Alex turned to Vasquez the DEO Agent said. "Those names are easier to use than x390-Mw2, x390-Mw3 and x390-Mw5."

"What happened to x390-Mw1 and x390-Mw4?" Supergirl asked.

"Production accident." Vasquez explained.

"Can we concentrate please?" Alex snapped.

"Snapping at the troops wasn't the negative emotion outlet I was suggesting." Supergirl whispered.

"I'm not snapping at anyone. Yet." Alex replied.

"They are about to go in." Vasquez said interrupting them.

"Are Alpha and Bravo ready?" Alex asked.

"They are holding three minutes out." Vasquez confirmed just as the feeds went dead.

"What happened to the feed?" Supergirl asked.

"Interference. It is possible they have set up a Faraday cage round the area." Alex said.

"We were prepared for this." Vasquez said. "As soon as they lose the link with us they run in an autonomous mode collecting data. The first one will leave the area in 24 hours. After that we can download the recordings."

"Why so long?" Supergirl asked.

"They are small, it will take time to move round the entire area." Alex explained before looking at Vasquez. "Have Alpha and Bravo teams stand down. But if that feed shows anything let me know." She added as her phone buzzed.

"Yes ma'am." Vasquez said as Alex read the message and walked off.

"Problem?" Supergirl asked hurrying after Alex.

"No. Not really. It's James. He's in the city and wants to meet this evening."

"That's good." Kara said. "Want me to come with you this time?"

"No. It's fine. I need to do this alone."

"What are you doing home?" The adult Alex asked her daughter when she saw the teenager lying on the couch.

"I live here." The teenage Kara reminded her. "Why are you here?"

"I live here." Alex mirrored. "Shouldn't you be at school?"

"Mr Waverly is sick so club was cancelled. Why are you back early?"

"I'm going out and wanted to get changed first."

"Where are you going?"

"To see your uncle James." Alex explained causing her daughter to sit up and ask.

"Are you telling him about the accident maybe not being an accident?"

"Yes." Alex said.

"I want to be there."

"Why?"

"Why not."

"That answer isn't getting you an invite. Seeing you have been avoiding your uncle, why do you suddenly want to see him?"

"I don't exactly. I just want to be there when you tell him."

"Why?"

"To see how he reacts. He either reacts like a human should and point out it could still be an accident and if it wasn't it's not your fault. And if he does I will accept what happened before was due to grief and cut him some slack. Or he goes the other way and blames you. If he does, you shouldn't be there alone."

"I can look after myself." Alex pointed out.

"Apart from when it comes to guilt." Her daughter said.

"I'll be fine." Alex countered.

"You know I'm not letting this go." Kara said.

"Fine, but that doesn't mean you can come. And it's not like you can force me into telling you where we are meeting."

"I can just get Alex to hack into your phone." The teenager shrugged.

"What?" The adult Alex asked.

"The point is, even if you try to exclude me I will still be there. So you might as well just include me."

-00-

"James, hi." Alex greeted as she and her daughter reached the table.

"Alex, Kara. Hi." He smiled standing before hugging them and asking. "How are you?"

"We're okay."

"I'm so sorry. I -"

"James, it's okay." Alex said.

"No it's not. I-"

"James. It wasn't your fault." Alex repeated as they all sat down.

James then looked at his niece and asked.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. I wasn't the one who was tortured. Mom made sure MJ and I were safe."

"Kara." Alex said, her tone bordering on frustration.

"What? He asked."

"I did." James said. "I'm just glad you are all okay." He then looked at Alex and said. "You said you wanted to talk about something?"

"Yes." Alex said as James became aware of how closely Kara was watching him. "We have been investigating Kai."

"I know." James pointed out.

"This is a deeper, less official investigation." Alex said. "We found that the FBI agent who may have been working for Kai had a brother-in-law who was killed in an accident. His wife thought it wasn't an accident and J'onn has been looking into it. He found evidence that the car's GNSS chip was hacked. We think Kai could be behind it. The thing is the chip was the same chip that was in Kelly's car."

"So you are saying Kelly's accident wasn't an accident?" James asked.

"It's possible."

"But Kai weren't even around back then were they?" James asked.

"We don't know."

"It sounds like a coincidence." James said unconvinced before getting lost in thought.

"James?" Alex asked when he didn't say anything further.

"Sorry, I have to go and look into something. Give me a few days and I'll explain everything." He said standing. "Say hi to MJ for me." With that he rushed from the table.

-00-

"How did it go?" The adult Kara asked when she saw her sister that evening.

"Don't know. I told him. He said it was coincidence then kind of ran off."

"Did he say why?"

"No. Just that he would explain everything in a few days." Alex said. "Maybe Kara scared him off."

"Kara was there?"

"She insisted on going as my protection."

"Clever kid." The adult Kara said.

"Like I told her it wasn't needed."

"So you're okay?" Kara asked.

"I'm fine." Alex replied.

"Good. Seeing I can't go back to my place why don't we have a sisters' night."

"Why can't you go back to your place?" Alex asked confused.

"The kids are camped out watching The Shining."

"You are such a wimp." Alex said.

"So sisters' night?" Kara asked.

-00-

"Kara? What brings you here?" J'onn asked confused, unaware that the teenager knew where he lived.

"I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Okay, come in." He said worried about how nervous she seemed.

"So I guess you know why I am here?" Kara asked.

"No."

"You didn't read my mind?"

"I try to stay out of teenage minds." J'onn said before asking. "Do you want me to read your mind?"

"Kind of." Kara said before explaining. "Mom is convinced the accident wasn't an accident and no matter what happens she will always blame herself unless there is proof it wasn't."

"I know. But we won't be able to prove a negative." J'onn pointed out.

"Maybe." Kara said. "But what if we could?"

"How?"

"The crash that wasn't an accident, when the chip was hacked there would have been things that happened right? I mean the guy who died would have known something was wrong or the car would have crashed in a weird way right?"

"Yes." J'onn said.

"And you know how it crashed?"

"Yes."

"So you could look for the same features in the accident and if they don't exist it would mean it was an accident."

"In theory, but your accident was a long time ago. The evidence is gone."

"Not all of it." Kara said.

"What do you mean?"

"I was there. You could read my mind or extract my memories right?"

"Your mother would never allow it." J'onn said. "Something you know, which is why you came here alone."

"If mom agreed, could you do it?"

"I could. But there is no way she'd agree. Even if she did I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it."

"But it would be possible?" Kara pressed ignoring all the issues.

"Technically, yes."
