"I take it by the look on your face that the intel Astra gave you was bad?" J'onn asked when Kara returned to the DEO, since after putting General Lane in his place, Kara had decided to do some recon on Fort Rozz.
"Actually, it's confirmation, since when I got to the coordinates you provided me with, I found one hell of a crater, but no prison. Best guess is that Non figured that Astra would defect, so he likely had his troops relocate the prison somewhere else, no doubt keeping its stealth tech online to conceal it." Kara said.
"And the DEO's scanners can't penetrate kryptonian cloaking technology, not even with the aid of the Argo Enterprises satellite network." J'onn said.
"And the Island's scanners won't be much good either, since even though it's Kryptonian tech, it's the same kind of tech that the prison was designed to be kept hidden from. Still, I'll see if maybe we can get lucky." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
"I'd appreciate it if you could link the Island's systems up with ours." J'onn said and Kara chuckled.
"Not a chance. There's a reason Superman and I limit access to our respective sanctums. There's no way either of us are giving any form of government access to Kryptonian technology if we can help it. Just like how I'm sure you're going to great lengths to conceal any Martian tech you brought to Earth with you from the government." Kara said.
"Fair enough. Speaking of which, do you mind if I store said technology on your Island. I get the feeling that it will be safer there than where I'm currently keeping it." J'onn said.
"Go right ahead. There's plenty of storage space there and I agree that it's a lot more secure." Kara said as J'onn realized just how tired Kara was.
"You okay?" J'onn asked.
"Yeah, just balancing being Supergirl and being a CEO is very draining. Not to mention this whole Astra thing. It's bizarre, finding out that I have family besides Kal that are still alive." Kara said.
"Especially since this family actually remembers Krypton the same way you do. Superman may be Kryptonian, but we both know that in his heart, he's more human. Unlike you." J'onn said, not cruelly, just in a matter of fact kind of tone and Kara nodded, since that was true.
"I've truly come to accept Earth as my new home, but it doesn't change the fact that in my heart, I'll always be a Kryptonian." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
"Just like how no matter what face I wear, I'll always be more Martian than human. And I wish I had the same opportunity you do. To meet just one other green martian." J'onn said and Kara smiled.
"Hey, you made it out, who's to say others didn't survive the war too? Even if you don't want to reveal yourself to the world, maybe you should consider at least sending out some kind of signal to see if any other Green Martians survived." Kara said and J'onn smiled.
"You know, my daughters, Kh'ym and T'ania, would've loved you. Loved having another sister." J'onn said and Kara smiled.
"I think that those girls were lucky to be able to call you their father." Kara said and J'onn smiled at her.
"Thank you Kara. But now I need to go and keep my promise to try and get Astra a deal, since I don't want her to think that I'm going back on my word." J'onn said and Kara nodded.
"I need to get back to my office to finish going over the details of the Star Labs acquisition, not to mention finishing getting ready for my trip to Central City to announce it." Kara said.
"And also get more information about this Flash character you met while you were there after the explosion." J'onn said.
"Yeah, he seems like a good kid and I think that once he gets more experience under his belt, he'll make a good ally." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
"On that topic, have you heard the reports about a new vigilante appearing in Star City?" J'onn asked and Kara nodded.
"It sounds like Batman has that guy covered for now and since Superman trusts the Dark Knight's judgment, I'm not going to get involved there unless he gives me a reason to. Besides, this guy could end up becoming a real ally in the future." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
"Still, it might be worth making a trip to Star City to investigate." J'onn said.
"Maybe once he's been active a little longer and has an actual name." Kara said and J'onn nodded in agreement at that.
"Fair enough. But anyways, hopefully, I'll have a deal for Astra by the time you get back. And in the meantime, I'm gonna see if we can switch from kryptonite to red sunlight for Astra's cell." J'onn said and Kara nodded at him gratefully.
