Winn was in the locker room, putting cream on his bruise, while wincing when James walked in. "Hey," James said and Winn glanced at him. "You good?"

"Peachy keen," Winn said sarcastically before looking back at his mirror.

"I got a real nice and easy 10-37 come over the scanner last night, and the cops still haven't found the suspicious vehicle. So I was, um...Just wondering if you and Iris wanted to-" James started.

"I actually thought that just maybe you came to check up on me," Winn said.

"Dude, I came all the way out here because I knew you were upset," James said.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm upset. You know, I almost got killed," Winn said.

"Winn, everybody gets their ass kicked," James said.

"Just stop," Winn muttered.

"Winn, let me help-" James muttered but Winn slammed his locker shut.

"Just stop!" He yelled and James looked at him taken back. "I'm good here, maybe. Or you know, at a desk, but I can't go out there with you again. I can't, all right? Just stop. I can't. I quit."

Then the door opened and they looked to see Alex. "Hey, am I...Am I interrupting something?" Alex asked.

"No, no, we're good. Just um...What's up?" Winn asked.

"Have either of you heard from Kara or Barry? Neither of them are answering their phones," Alex said.

"Isn't she and Iris supposed to be on a story?" James asked.

"Yeah, missing persons," Alex said but James and Winn didn't know anything. "Okay, just text me the details."

Outer Space
Unknown Planet

As the group continued to walk up the path, Mon continued to get more annoyed. "You know how on Earth they rate everything?" Mon asked and Iris looked at him. "One-star. This is a one-star."

"Are planets always like this?" Barry asked.

"No," Kara said.
"No," Mon said.

"I used to love going to other planets with my parents. They'd take me to the pretty ones, though. Not like this. We'd spend solstices on Sedenach...The Bismuth mountains. They'd grow right underneath our feet. It's all those crystal staircases raising us up," Kara explained.

"Took a girl there once. It's a great spot, you know-" Mon said but suddenly something caught his leg, and he couldn't move. "Uh, Iris?"

Iris, Barry and Kara looked back at him to see he was behind them now. "What? Oh, come on, now you won't follow us?" Iris asked.

"Um, I can't. My leg is stuck," Mon said and Kara saw a type of trap wrapped around his ankle.

"What is this?" Kara asked before she leaned down and tried to break it open, but she couldn't. "What..."

Suddenly a bullet ricocheted past them and they all turned to see an alien in the distance, pointing a rifle at them. They put their hands up in surrender and Mon looked annoyed. "This planet sucks," He muttered.

Local Clinic

Alex and her strike team stormed into the garage like back room to see the unopened portal, and through the web camera, J'onn and Winn were able to see it back at the DEO. "Are you seeing this? What the hell is this? I've never seen anything like that," Alex said.
