"Alex, you can't keep getting drunk. It's not healthy." Kara said as she approached her sister at the bar after Alex missed work again.

"And what's a healthy way to deal with a break-up, huh?" Alex slurred turning to Kara. "Shutting everyone out like you have for the last few months?"

"What, no excuses?" Alex asked harshly when Kara kept quiet.

"It's not about me. I won't let you waste your life like that." Kara said sternly.

"Why? I have nothing to lose anymore." Alex said downing another drink and waving to the barman for one more.

"What about Jeremiah? We have to find him." Kara tried to motivate her in some way.

"He's missing because of you, so you find him." Alex countered.

"I know. I'm sorry." Kara apologized feeling guilty.

"Sorry won't bring him back."

"I know." Kara sadly admitted. "Please, at least let me take you home."

"I can make my own way." Alex argued standing up and leaving some cash before turning to Kara and adding. "Don't follow me."

So she didn't. She followed Alex's heartbeat and after she made sure her sister was safe at home she let herself fly up into the sky.

"Lena?" Kara asked opening her door the next morning. "Please, come in."

"Thank you."

"Is everything okay?" Kara asked surprised at the morning visit.

"Everything's okay. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be out of the city for a few days. I can't do lunch so I was hoping we could grab breakfast before work." Lena informed before she spotted a laptop sitting on the counter next to Kara.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt." Lena apologized pointing at the laptop.

"That's okay." Kara assured closing the device. "I was just trying to find some answers."

"About what?" Lena asked curious. But seeing her friend's hesitation she added. "I understand if it's private. You don't have to tell me."

"It's about my sister." Kara finally admitted. "She's trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol and I was looking for some ideas how to help her."

"Just give her time. She'll come to you when she's ready."

"But I hate seeing her like that. I can't just do nothing." Kara explained helplessly.

"Then don't try to question her choices, just let her know you're there for her." Lena suggested.

"Do you mind if I take a rain check on that breakfast?"

"Supergirl, there's an ambulance stuck in a traffic on St. George Street." She heard Winn through her earpiece when she was on her way to Alex.

"I'm on my way." She answered before she heard a loud hissing sound. Knowing there're more important things to worry about, she went on to help. But after she was done the sound wouldn't stop.

"Winn. What is that hissing sound?" She asked confused.

"Winn?" When no one answered she decided to find the source by herself. After she started to follow a specific direction it grew louder. Finally it lead her to the building outside of the city.

"Well, it's definitely been easier to lure you here than I'd presumed." Lilian Luthor boasted holding the device.

"I guess the noise is bothering you?" Lilian said coming closer. "And probably also some other aliens, and dogs."

"Where's Jeremiah?" Supergirl demanded while using her x-ray vision on the building.

"He's waiting for you inside." She informed her smiling.

"Winn, can you hear me?" Supergirl asked trying to figure out what trap she was about to fall into. "Hank? Anyone?"

"I wouldn't waste too much time on chit-chats." Lilian suggested turning the device which was interfering with Kara's superhearing off.

"Can you hear more clearly now?" Lilian asked as Supergirl heard a ticking sound coming from the building. Without further hesitation, she flew inside as fast as she could. She passed through the corridor and went to open the door from where the sound was coming from.

"Jeremiah!" She exclaimed as she saw him tied to a chair behind the glass. And now she realized why Lilian had let her get to her foster father so easily. The cell was filled with Kryptonite Dust and the only way to get to the bomb was to break the glass.

"Kara. Please, help me." Jeremiah begged. "It's going to blow."

"Don't worry. I'm gonna get you out of there." She reassured before coming closer and banging on the glass. When she finally managed to break it, she tried to get the bomb out but she felt herself getting weaker. She stumbled to Jeremiah and tried to untie him, hoping he'd be able to disarm it.

"Jeremiah." She called as she started to cough. "The bomb."

"Don't worry. It's a fake." He reassured not bothering to check on it.

"I don't understand." Sha said confused and scared when her vision started to blur.

"You're an alien. We should've gotten rid off you when we had a chance." Jeremiah admitted frustrated. "This is the only way to repay my real daughter for all those years she'd been forced to take care of you. She will finally be free of you.

"I'm sorry." Kara said as she was struggling to breathe.

"Get away from her!" J'onn exclaimed flying into the room.

"We'll get to you, too, Martian." Jeremiah warned standing in front of Kara before J'onn knocked him out and rushed to Kara.

"Kara." He called kneeling in front of her and looking into her eyes which were now unearthly green.

"J'onn. I, I can't see." She said as she was gasping for breath.

"We have to get you out of here." He said picking her up and flying back to the DEO.
