It was three in the morning. Alex was tired, but she couldn't leave her baby sister, who was now laying on her sunbed after inexplicably passing out. She could go "interrogate" the alien that caused this to happen to wake herself up. She just sat and looked at her sister. 'Please wake up' she thought, just as she drifted off to sleep.

Alex woke up with a jolt. She realized she had fallen asleep and cursed herself for it. She looked up at the clock, which now said it was seven in the morning, meaning more agents should start clocking in. J'onn walked in. "Good morning, Alex" he said, slightly amused. "Good morning. And don't laugh at me I tried to stay awake" she replied. They both looked at each other with humor in their eyes when they heard Kara stir. They both whipped around to the sound of the Kryptonian moving. Alex moved over to the side of the bed. "Kara?" she said softly. "Kara, are you awake?" The blonde blinked the sleep out of her eyes and looked around. She suddenly sat up. "Kara! It's ok look!" She caught her eyes "Look it's just J'onn and me." She looked between the two with confusion. Kara opened her mouth and spoke. Only it was in Kryptonian. 'Oh no' Alex thought. She looked over to J'onn with concern. She knew he could speak Kryptonian. "What did she say?" J'onn looked over at her with concern "She said 'Where am I'" Alex was a little relieved. Sometimes patients don't know where they are for a few minutes. But something was still wrong. Kara looked scared and blurted something else out in Kryptonian. She started to get up, taking her IVs with her. J'onn and Alex stood in her way. "Woah, wait Kara, sit down. They put her back on the table. She looked at J'onn. "What did she say that time?" He looked over at her. "She said 'Who are you people? Why am I here? I wish to go home now. Take me back to Krypton right this instant!'" J'onn said, looking a bit hurt. Alex was terrified. Whatever effected Kara has made her think that Krypton is still there. "Alex, I will have Winn throw together a quick translating program so you can talk to her." J'onn told her, failing at being reassuring. She snapped out of her thinking. "Wait, where are you going?" Alex asked desperately. "I will be trying to contact Superman" He left the room. Alex looked back at Kara, who was now shifting on her bed, fidgeting with the end of her cape. Alex's gaze softened a bit. 'Even when she has amnesia, Kara is still Kara' Alex thought.

Winn rushed into the room with a tablet in his hand. Alex looked at him. "Is this the program that will help me talk to her?" She asked, looking at Winn with a serious face. "Yes, it will take what she says out loud and put it into words on there. Also, you can type what you want to say, and it will translate to Kryptonian writing, so she will know what you said." Winn said, afraid of disapproval. Alex breathed out the breath she didn't know she was holding "Thank you, Winn." Winn turned to Kara and said something in Kryptonian before leaving. Alex looked down at the tablet, which now read 'Feel better Kara'. Kara looked after Winn in confusion. Alex typed on the tablet. She held it up so Kara could see. "Kara, I'm Alex. I am your big sister." Alex said with hope in her expression. Kara looked at her, confused. Kara said something else in Kryptonian, rather quickly. Alex looked at the tablet and read. 'I have no sister. Where is Kal-El? I swore to look after him tonight while mother and father went to dinner with my aunts and uncles.' Alex's face fell once more. She didn't remember she was her sister. She also seemed to believe Kal-el is still a baby and she needs to watch over him while her (dead) family meets up. She typed again. "Kara, you on a planet called Earth" Alex says as she holds up the tablet. Kara proceeded to look even more confused. Kara starts talking more, with the words rolling of her tongue naturally as she starts to get off the bed. Alex had to stop her once more before looking back down at the words in her lap. 'I have heard of earth. I didn't know that this is what it would look like. I really appreciate you for caring for me, but I really must be going. I don't want to keep my parents and my baby cousin waiting.' She looked back up at Kara. She was starting to get a little frustrated. While it was nice to be able to communicate with Kara freely, she wasn't quite sure how long she could keep doing this with her sanity intact. Thankfully, she knew another person who knew Kryptonian and would easily converse with Kara. Hopefully Kara would snap out of it by seeing more people she knows.
