"You sound just like him."

"Like who?"

"Mon el! I realize that you're in your honeymoon phase but really Kara?! I mean you don't have to take every stance that he takes."

"I'm not. And this is not about Mon el this is about the truth and the truth is that Jeremiah breaking ino the DEO computer system is.. It's weird."

"He missed out on over a decade as our father. I don't blame him for wanting to catch up. However he can."

"Why not just ask us? We're right here! He spent an hour with J'onn today, well why does he have to wait till he's alone to access the system."

"God you really don't trust him do you?"

"No, I don't trust Cadmus. And i will do what i have to to protect us."

"Well then i guess you've chosen your side."

"This is not about sides!"

"No it is! Because you're either part of the family or you're not."

Kara stared at her, hurt "You don't mean that."

"He's my father."

"He's mine too!"

"Then act like it!" Alex yelled then stomped off, leaving Kara behind trying to control the tears that threatened to escape from her eyes. She quickly left the DEO and flew to her apartment, landing in an alley nearby and continued walking towards her building.

She didn't notice the man lurking in the shadows, following her.

She was so lost in her own misery that she didn't notice him aiming the gun at her and firing.

Kara gasped and collapsed, holding her abdomen where a red spot was rapidly spreading, staining her shirt. The pain was too overbearing but she knew she had to get away in fear of someone finding her and taking her to a hospital where her cover would be blown away for sure.

Using the little strength she had left, she got up on shaky legs and after making sure that no blood had seeped onto the floor, she limped towards her apartment, covering her wound with her hands.

Once she entered, she locked the door and collapsed on her couch, wrapped her wound to stop the bleeding, then passed out from the pain and blood loss.

She didn't notice the man pressing a button, allowing a poisonous substance to course through her veins and tenptemporarily take her powers.
