Kara sat next to Alex, the two trying to digest what had happened the last couple days, neither really watching the TV. A news station reported a Supergirl sighting, flying over National City but none had seen her on the ground, saving the day in the city or any other city. Questions were being raised, was she gone? Had she done what she came to do? People who had formed churches based on her, had followers in the streets, praying to the skies. The governments of the world worked tirelessly to find her, the United States included. Hank Henshaw had told the President that the Kryptonian would assist the DEO but had no idea who she actually was. Lane, Waller, they would not rest until they found out. Unfortunately if they came close, their entire cyber network would be wiped clean by Kara's supercomputer and tiny robot butler.

"So when is your next outing?" Alex asked.

"Not until this whole thing is done."

"That could be a while..."

"Shhh!" Kara ordered. She heard it, one of three voices her mind had become attuned to, one that stood out above all the others in this city.

"Kara, help!"

"Clark." the blonde whispered.

"What?"

"Call Connolly and tell him our parents home is under attack. Astra is there! Get Dante to launch the drones!"

"What...drones?" Alex asked but Kara was already gone, the shattering of glass telling her as much. She never saw the blonde move and the girl didn't even bother to open the window.

"Oh no." Alex picked up her phone, dialing Connolly and ran out, towards Dante's apartment, hoping he was home.

At the Danvers beach house, Eliza and Jeremiah stood in front of their little boy as Astra took her time, walking around the living room.

Everything she saw infuriated the woman more. There were pictures on shelves, pictures of her Kara, as she was when she landed, pictures of the girl and this so called sister of hers in different locations, alone or with these three present. Vacations, school, sporting events. A framed photo of Jeremiah and Kara looking through a large telescope.

Astra took note of the pictures of Kara at different ages, watching her grow in the past five years.

These should have been her memories. These years, the last of Kara's childhood were given to these humans.

She heard the boy call Kara for help. The boy, all that was left of Jor El, the man who stood for everything wrong with Krypton.

"Kara is at her residence, little Kal El. The city has millions of noises. I doubt she can hear you. No, we are going to spend a little time alone. I am going to educate you, on the history of our planet, my planet, my home that your father and uncle destroyed!"

"Don't speak to him."

"Shut up woman! You won't be speaking soon enough."

"You are a liar. My parents tried to save Krypton. They were heroes!" the little boy shouted.

Astra looked at the boy and realized he believed this.

"You are the bad guy. You are the one who scares Kara. She told me about Krypton..."

"Then she must have lied to you. Krypton was destroyed because of the House of El. Kara knows this. She told me the truth. She loves you for some reason so she lied to you. Did she tell you your mother and father were heroes? Really? They destroyed a planet! They are responsible for millions of deaths! Your family, your blood!"
