Chapter Text
It had been three months since the funeral. Alex knew that she couldn’t put her life on pause, but it was still hard to get up and go to the DEO every morning. It reminded her to much of… Kara. Everyone at the DEO was devastated, but they kept working. And Alex shouldn’t be any exception to that. She walked into the control room. She couldn’t help but remember when Kara would stand on the other side of the table, dressed in her red and blue suit. Winn walked over to her. It had been incredibly tough on him too. Kara had helped him through some tough times.
J’onn walked in. He was the bravest of them all. He managed to keep his stoicism throughout this entire thing. “Brief me, Agent Schott.”
Winn nodded and pulled up some information on the big screen. It was another alien. It seemed that it had some telekinetic powers and would attack entire areas at a time. “So, we think she is a Blomavarian. Which means her powers have limits. So, we should be able to take her down without…” Winn trailed off.
He was right. If Kara was still here, she would have been back with the alien in custody already. It was so bad, none of them could so much look at potstickers without feeling sick. Even Maggie was devastated, and she didn’t even know Kara that well. She jerked herself out of her thoughts.
“Ok, we need to assemble a strike team. Winn, come and brief us on what we need to do.” Alex said, starting towards the armory. She sighed. National City may have lost its Supergirl, but it will never be left unprotected.

“I will get out of here! And when I do you will all pay!” The alien hissed at Alex and the agents. She turned on the alien.
“You won’t get out, just like the rest of your cell mates who said they would and didn’t.” Alex wasn’t sure how much longer she could do this. Not feel.
“She’s alive.” The alien quietly said.
She turned around once more. “What did you say?”
The prisoner looked up into Alex’s eyes. “The girl. She is still alive.”
She stepped back. “No, she’s not. We looked for weeks. Plus, she would never abandon the city like this. She’s gone. Forever.” She choked out. Alex started walking away. She’s gone.

Alex was back at Kara’s apartment. Nobody had the heart to clean it out, so she paid the bill to keep it that way. She unlocked the white barn door. She hung up her coat and set down her purse. “Hey, Kara.” She spoke to the air. “Today we took down a rouge alien. I bet you would’ve thought she was fun.” She went to the fridge where they kept waters. “She was chucking cars and everything.” Alex chuckled dryly. Her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller ID. What does she want?
“Hello Lena, what do you need?” Alex promised herself she would protect Lena, for Kara. It hurt her every time she heard the CEO’s voice or saw her. Alex knew it wasn’t her fault that CADMUS did this, but she needed someone to blame.
“Alex, get to L-Corp, NOW.”
Alex flinched at Lena’s tone. “Is everything alright? Do I need a strike team?”
She heard a sigh. “No, everything is not alright and no, no strike team. Just, hurry.”
There was a click and the call ended. Alex quickly grabbed her stuff and headed towards L-Corp.

“What is it?” Alex asked as she burst into Lena’s office. The CEO turned to face her. It was very clear she had been crying. Alex had forgotten. It might have been the hardest on Lena, she lost her best friend and the one person who could keep her on her feet.
“It’s Kara.” Lena said quickly.
Alex perked up. “What about Kara?” Alex knew that Lena had been searching whenever she could when it came to Kara. “What? Did you find something?” Alex was afraid to have hope, but after what Lena was about to say, she filled with it.
“I think I found a picture of Kara.” Lena said, barely holding it together.
“You mean like, recently?”
Lena nodded.
“Let me see, please.”
Lena picked up a slip of paper on her desk and handed it to her. It wasn’t the best resolution, but the person in the photo sure as hell looked like Kara. There were a few things that were different, she didn’t have glasses and she was wearing a baseball cap. Alex breathed out a breath of slight excitement, but she couldn’t let it get the better of her. “How can we be sure that it’s her?”
Lena looked her dead in the eyes. “We have to hope.”
Those words brought Alex back to Myriad when Kara gave her speech. “Ok, where do we begin?”
It was cold. What did she expect? She was in Colorado. She shuffled up to the rough-looking building and knocked on the door. It was opened by a girl with white hair in pigtails.
“Hey, Super.” The girl quipped.
Kara managed a slight smile. “Hey, Quinn.”
