Four days later, the two heroes were in the alien bar.

- "Excuse me? Oh, hi." Kara saw a man bent behind the counter. "Could we... Could we just please have two club soda?"

Mon-El got up.

- "Hey." He smiled.

- "Hi." Maddie frowned.

- "Hi." The Danvers woman raised her eyebrows.

- "Hi." The Matthews man smiled.

- "That's your new job?" The Matthews girl asked.

- "Wait, you work here?" The Kryptonian frowned.

- "I do. Since yesterday." The Daxamite nodded. "Yeah, you know after the, um... Gosh, after the incident, they were a little short-staffed, so I took a job. And you know, I like alcohol. I've been known to like alcohol. So I just really feel like this is gonna be a great job for me."

- "I'm proud of you." The quadbrid said.

Mon-El smiled happily.

- "Well, I'm glad someone's feeling like they fit in somewhere." Kara added.

- "Oh, that's a sad sound?" The Matthews man asked. "You wanna tell me what's going on? Huh? Come on, talk to me." He gave them their drinks. "I am a bartender now."

- "I've just been feeling betwixt and between of late." The Danvers woman replied.

- "Betwixt and between?" Maddie frowned.

- "Yes. But, a story came across my desk today. A missing girl. I'm gonna find her." The Kryptonian nodded.

- "Can I help?" The Matthews girl questioned.

- "I was going to ask you." Kara smiled softly.

- "Let's find her." The quadbrid smiled back.

- "Can I offer you some unsolicited advice?" The Daxamite asked.

- "Do I?" The Danvers woman frowned.

- "If you go looking for trouble... Trouble... Ye shall find." Mon-El said.

- "Wow." Maddie chuckled.

- "Thank you for the completely useless advice." The Kryptonian replied. She took a sip of her drink and spat it out in her glass. "That's not club soda."

- "Yeah, what exactly is club soda?" The Matthews man asked.

Kara got up and ran to Maggie.

- "Not this." The Matthews girl frowned. "Try to find what are the drinks you serve here."

- "I'm gonna do that." The Daxamite nodded.

The quadbrid got up and followed her mentor.

- "Thanks for meeting me." The Danvers woman said.

- "Hey, Maggie." Maddie smiled.

The three women sat down.

- "Hey, Maddie. And always happy to help a Danvers." The Sawyer woman replied. "Here is the missing persons report on Izzy Williams that we have." She handed a USB drive. "But unfortunately... It's not that much."

- "Well, any little bit helps." The Kryptonian said.

- "You know, it's funny you asked for that." The detective added.

- "Why?" The Matthews girl frowned.

- "Well, we've just had a spike in missing persons over the last few weeks." Maggie said.
