《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 25

As they waited to hear if Alex was ready for more visitors, Eliza couldn't help but notice how much her other daughter was avoiding looking at her and she had a feeling she knew why.

"Kara, can we talk?" Eliza asked and Kara nodded as she let her foster mom lead her out into the hall.

"Kara, I don't blame you for what happened to Alex. It wasn't your fault." Eliza said.

"Yes it was. I never should've sent her to get Henshaw." Kara said.

"Kara, Alex told you herself that she knew the risks and she accepted them. And do you honestly think I haven't been prepared for something like this since I learned Alex was a DEO agent? Things like this, they happen in the line of work that both you and Alex have chosen. I don't blame you, Jeremiah doesn't blame you and Alex doesn't blame you. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the only person here who does blame you is you." Eliza said and Kara actually smiled as she felt a bit of weight be lifted from her shoulders knowing that no one in her foster family hated her for this.

"Deep down, I know that, but you also know how hard I am on myself when I'm not able to save someone and considering it was Alex I failed to save, I guess I'm even harder on myself about it." Kara said.

"I know. But feeling guilty about something that you couldn't control isn't going to help Alex recover and she is going to need all the help and support we can give her." Eliza said.

"You honestly expect her to ask for help at first?" Kara asked and Eliza chuckled, since they both knew it would take Alex some time to accept that she'd need other people to help her do things she used to be able to do herself.

"No, but that won't stop us from being there for her regardless. Though I suggest that you tell Lena and your father to work on that serum as hard and fast as they can, before Alex says something she'll regret or hurts herself further trying to prove that she doesn't need anyone to help her." Eliza said.

"I will pass along the message." Kara said, since she honestly agreed, since knowing Alex's personality, she likely wouldn't be able to accept her change in lifestyle until she faced something that forced her to and when she did, it likely would not be pretty for her or anyone else involved at the time.

A little while after she talked to Eliza, Kara saw Brainy arrive with Nia and Winn and after hugging him, they all found out that the reason Brainy was in the present was because his cousin had created the same virus to wipe out all other AIs again and he'd fled to the past for safety, but he refused to tell them anymore, which they all understood since Brainy couldn't tell them much about the future without risking changing it.

Kara had also gotten in touch with her father, who agreed to refine Lena's research to make the serum stable and permanent to both heal Alex and give her powers.

Anyways, about a week later was Alex's discharge day and Kara, Kelly and J'onn were helping her up to her apartment.

"I appreciate the help you guys, I can still wheel myself to and from my apartment." Alex said as Kara opened the door to her apartment and Kelly pushed her wheelchair inside.

"Alex, I know you're annoyed that you have to start depending on other people for stuff you used to be able to do for yourself, but please, just let us fuss over you while we can, since my dad is in the Tower's lab right now, looking over the Harun-el research Lena gave him." Kara said.

"Fine." Alex said.

"Hey, it's just temporary and you'll come back from this stronger. Literally." Kelly said.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it." Alex said.

"Alex, I get it. It will just take time for you to adjust and who knows, maybe you won't even need to." J'onn said.

"Please don't get my hopes up. We don't know how long it will take Zor-El to modify Lena's work." Alex said.

"Well my dad said that he and my mom aren't going back to Argo until it's done. So I guess it's a somewhat good thing that this happened while they were still on Earth." Kara, ever the optimist, said.

"I guess. But I have to admit, I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a party going on right now." Alex said.

"The party is going to be after you can walk again. Not much to celebrate now." Kara said and Alex had to acknowledge that.

"Fair enough. But Kara, promise me that you won't put taking care of me ahead of either of your jobs. The world needs Supergirl and running Danvers Daily News has been your dream since you learned what a reporter does. Besides, you've still got at least one big story to finish working on." Alex said.

"Yeah. Thanks for your help with that J'onn." Kara said, since J'onn had used his DEO clearance to get her more information on the ASA for her expose.

"No problem. I'm concerned that the ASA has been able to operate for as long as they have. I've also been keeping tabs on Amanda Waller and Argus after what Oliver told me." J'onn said.

"I'll start working on that once I'm done with the ASA." Kara said, right as her phone rang and while normally she would've ignored it, when she saw who was calling, she picked it up.

"Kate, this is a surprise." Kara said.

"Kara, this is not a social call." Kate said.

"Okay then, why are you calling?" Kara asked.

"Because I thought you'd be interested in knowing that my dad, who runs a private police force in Gotham called the Crows, is very anti vigilante and it sounds like he wants to use those resources to, instead of keeping Gotham safe, to actually wage war on vigilantes, including you and your cousin." Kate said.

"Okay then. How obsessed is he?" Kara asked.

"He'd rather focus on killing vigilantes than actually protecting Gotham from its current psychopath." Kate said and Kara sighed.

"Sounds like I'll be opening my Gotham office a lot sooner than I was planning on." Kara said.

"Wait, what?" Kate asked as Kara explained Danvers Daily News to her.

"Let me know when you head to Gotham. One of my company's new subsidiaries is a real estate firm." Kate said.

"I'll let you know when I head out there." Kara said.

"See you soon." Kate said as she hung up.

"That sounded serious." Alex said.

"Yeah, that was Kate Kane, giving me a heads up that her father is a lot like Sam Lane, very anti vigilante." Kara said.

"Jacob Kane." J'onn said.

"You know him?" Kara asked.

"Only by reputation. Former army colonel turned commander of a private security firm called the Crows. A few DEO agents are former Crows agents. How bad is he getting?" J'onn asked.

"According to Kate, he'd rather kill vigilantes than actually focus on protecting Gotham." Kara said.

"Sounds like something you should look into. Establishing your Gotham office would give your media firm a chance to expose him." Alex said.

"Are you sure?" Kara asked.

"Kara go. It's not like much will change for me right now. Honestly, I'll feel better knowing at least one of us can still help people and it's not like you'd be gone for more than a week right?" Alex asked and Kara nodded.

"Okay. I might take Mon-El with me, since honestly, we have not had a date night since he got here." Kara said and Alex rolled her eyes.

"Have fun. We'll hold down National City until you get back." J'onn said and Kara nodded.

"Okay then. Look out Gotham, here comes Supergirl." Kara said.
