Dr. Hamilton was not sure what was going on. She knew Connolly's team had gone on a mission, but taken no back up. Director Henshaw was directing the mission from the secure desert facility and she was on duty in the downtown medical bay. If at all possible, medical emergencies were transported to the downtown facility due to its superior medical ward. Henshaw had called her and told her to wait outside then hung up. By the time she reached the front of the building, a DEO SUV pulled up and escorted her at break neck speeds to the desert facility. Hamilton noted that the electrical grid was charged and ready for activation. This was usually only done when a Kryptonian attack was suspected. The facility had a large electric barrier around it, strong enough to hurt a Kryptonian, giving agents time to procure Kryptonite weapons, even if the Kryptonians broke the field.

Once inside, Director Henshaw met her at the door and practically dragged her at a run towards the emergency bay. This was a sealed off wing, making her suspect that an agent had been exposed to an alien virus.

"Director Henshaw! Could you tell me what is going on, please?"

The man took a deep breath and looked at her. Hamilton's night became even stranger. For the first time since she had known him, Hank Henshaw looked scared, even terrified.

"Dr. Eliza Danvers is on location. She is researching a parasite that has attached itself to one of our...assets. She has pictures but the asset will be here soon. The parasite is the size of her torso, definitely alien, tentacled and every attempt to pull it off of her has caused her to react violently, her heart beat escalating, throat being squeezed and cut off from air. Her blood pressure drops. The strange thing is, the creature has not penetrated her body. It hasn't even broken through her uniform. The only touch it has are the tentacles holding it to her."

"Okay. Has Eliza found the type of parasite we are dealing with?"

"She is looking. We haven't found anything yet. Look, the asset...I guess you have been watching the news?"

"Yes..."

"Its Supergirl. She has been working with us, trying to find information on where the Rozz escapees are. She has taken out two on her own, including one Kryptonian. We thought we had found others tonight. She went in first to make sure it was safe for our team. When she didn't come back out, they went in and found her."

Hamilton said noting for a moment, trying to soak this in. She had been as surprised as the rest of the world with the girl's emergence. Not because of her being an alien of course. Hamilton knew everything there was to know about aliens. She was shocked because this blonde teen was the first alien she had seen not trying to harm humans and actually saving them.

"How long..."

"It doesn't matter. What matters is we keep her alive until Dr. Danvers figures out a way to get this off of her or even what it is. We cannot use red sunlight because her strength may be the only thing saving her from death. Same goes for Kryptonite."

"So I can't use any drugs requiring injection. Any drugs at all, actually."

"Yes. You should also know that both Danvers and their daughter Alex may be distraught. Kara is the adopted daughter of Eliza and Jeremiah Danvers. This is not well known in the DEO and I would like it kept that way for as long as possible. I expect your discretion."

"Of course." Hamilton assured her. The woman liked the Danvers and had admired this Supergirl, even if she was suspicious of the girl's true motives. Knowing that she had been raised by the Danvers made things clearer to her. She also remembered that while their daughter Alex had been an intern there had also been another very shy blonde that had accompanied the Danvers a few times. The girl had worn glasses and had much darker hair than Supergirl but she was obviously the same.
