Hero or weakness?

Soldier

AN: I think this is my longest chapter so far. :) enjoy.

Laughter flows into the DEO though the opened doors, leading outside, where Supergirl lands.

"Freddie you good, pal?" Supergirl says with a smile, while walking and patting his legs that are still wrapped around her waist.

"Um... yeah.... are we on the ground yet?" Replies a shaky voice.

"Maybe you should open your eyes and see." Her voice full of amusement.

Tightening his hold on Supergirl, Freddie pries open his eyes a little and takes a look around. Looking at all the computers and people everywhere, Supergirl was standing in the middle of the DEO, and he realizes, with a blush, all the eyes that were on him.

*Cough*

"Um.... thanks, Supergirl," he jumps off her quickly and fixing his clothes, "I enjoy the ride."

She laughs, "Really? So that wasn't you screaming the whole time?"

"No." He squeaks.

"You sure?"

"Yup."

"Well then okay. Let's go see the boss."

Supergirl changes the subject, don't want to embarrass the guy more than he already is. They slowly start walking toward command central (I really don't know what else to call it lol) passing agents and receiving a few snickers, when it finally hits Freddie that he has no idea where he's going.

"Hey, Supergirl, what's the DEO, I've never heard of it before, and why am I here?" Tilting his head to slightly face her as they walked.

"The boss wants to talk to you and ask a couple questions about what you did back there. As for what the DEO is... well... why don't you save that question for him." She begins looking around for J'onn. "Look he's right over there."

J'onn was behind Winn, as he typed away at the keyboard, standing in his usual intimidating way, looking at the footage they acquired from Catco to try and get any clues from the attack. Winn seemed to be really focused on whatever he was looking at. He squinting, must be interesting, She thinks.

"Supergirl, I've heard you had some help at the site of the attack." J'onn says, seeing her approach him with a stranger. "I take it you're the one that helped?" He gives Freddie a pointed look.

"Yes, sir, I saw a situation happening and I handled it to the best of my abilities," Freddie said, throwing he arms down to his sides and pointing his chin straight out.

"At ease, soldier, I would like to thank you for your help capturing the criminals before anything badly could happen." J'onn hides his amusement at Freddie's stance and continues, "Please come with me to answer a few questions and I'll answer any you may have after." J'onn gestures toward the hall leading to his office. Before he moves any further Supergirl cuts in.

"J'onn have you heard anything else about the attacks."

"It seem like Lillian's men are looking for something, and for some reason, they think it's at Catco." Winn interrupted before J'onn can answer.

"Well, what is she looking for?" She asks.

"I think it's a picture or something...," Winn begins typing really fast on the computer, zooms into the camera footage and throws it on to the big screen. "They don't seem to find it though, it look like they didn't get much time to go through the photos before they were stopped." Winn side eyes Freddie, making everyone listen eyes shift to him.

Freddie nervously smiles with all eyes on him so he says, "I wasn't going to let them take my pictures. I worked hard on those."

"So those are your pictures?" J'onn questions suspiciously.

"Yes sir, I took most of  them on my travels around the world, after I left the marines. It's the reason Cat hired me to replace Mr.Olsen since he was taking her job."

"Mr.Olsen?" Winn and Supergirl question with hardly concealed laughter.

J'onn gives them a heard look and they back down, both looking like kicked puppies. "Let's stay on topic. Soldier, I'm going to need you to tell me about everywhere you went and what you took pictures of."

"Yes sir." Freddie says giving the sad puppies a weird look.

"Supergirl, I need you to go see Lena Luthor and ask her if she has any idea about what's going on."

Supergirl's face immediately shifts and hardened, "We've been through this J'onn, Lena has nothing to do with her mother's business."

"I just want you to ask her a few questions about the last time she saw her mother."

"You mean when she left Lena to die," She spits out.

J'onn rubs his head, "Supergirl, we know Lena had nothing to do with it last time, but we need to know if Lillian told her anything about the pictures when she held her captive."

"Okay..." Supergirl concedes, "Should I go Now?" Looking down at her Supergirl suit.

"Yes, then come back so we can discuss what to do with Mr.White here." J'onn swiftly says, he turns walking away towards his office.

"Wait, I never told you my name," Freddie says with a frown of his brow.

"Come soldier, we have a lot to talk about."

Freddie looks at Supergirl for some kind of reassurance and, seeing her light head nod, he follows J'onn.

"Well looks like you get to go have a visit with your new bestfriend." Winn teases Supergirl without thinking. Turning bad around to face his desk.

"What are you talking about?" She questions.

"Oh... I thought you guys were bestfriends now. You know with the 'Lena has nothing to do with it' and going out for coffee every other Thursday." He says with a hint of a hurt tone.

"Winn, you know you'll always be my bestfriend," he smiles at that, "Lena doesn't have anything to do with this either," she quickly defends, shaking her head, "and how to you know about the Coffee."

"Alex told me." He nervously looks down at his keyboard.

"Alex told you?" She says shocked.

"Yeah, she was asking me questions about how to get into someone's phone and...." Winn sees the look she's giving him and nervously laughs, "....so I may have help her and Maggie hack into Lena's phone." His voice getting smaller at the end, he sinks down into his chair.
