Finding The Way Back to You

Chapter 21- The Truth

                                                                               Alex

When Kara told us about how Rhea was saved, it got me thinking. One, why would they save her? Maybe they got tired of her? Or maybe they knew that Kara would be the one to come look at the warehouse and wanted to find a way to sway her onto their side? Why would they need to do that though? If there were other Kryptonians, Kara wouldn't hesitate to take their side.

I head to Kara's apartment with my wife, Sam, to find out what they learned. We get there and I stand by the side of the couch that Sam is sitting on. Kara and Mon-El tell us everything that they learned from Rhea and Imra. I'm not surprised that Mon-El talked to Imra. He would do anything for Kara. 

"I need to tell you guys what I figured out."I say. They all turn towards me. "I already told J'onn and Winn. I was thinking about how Rhea survived. She said that they almost drained her of her blood to get the lead out of her system. I don't think she was telling the full truth.

"Why?"Kara asks.

"Because in order to do that and survive, you would need blood going into you at the same time. It's like a blood transfusion."

"What are you saying, Alex?" Mon-El says, his voice shaking.

"She would need someone else's blood to replace what's going out. There must've been another Daximite to give the blood to save her." Mon-El looks down as a tear falls down his face. Kara puts her arms around his waist, comforting him.

"Who could it have been?"Sam asks and I shrug.

"It had to have been someone related to her,"Mon-El remarks looking up. 

"Aren't you an only child,"I ask. 

"That I know of," Mon-El says sighing, clearly tired. "My mom was notorious for seeking attention from other men. Us Daximites are not loyal to our partners most of the time."

"You are not anything like them. You are so much better,"Kara says. Mon-El smiles at her with so much love in his eyes, it's hard not to melt at the sight of it.

"So you might have a sister or brother," Sam states and Mon-El nods sadly.

"I'm glad that I know now, not when I was selfish and immature," he says cheering up a bit. "We have to find my sibling if their still alive." He looks to Alex, getting her opinion. 

"They might be. The fact that Rhea lived should show that your sibling probably did too. Especially if they had the equipment to do a blood transfusion." 

"Let's go talk to Rhea," Kara says and we all go to the DEO. When we get to Rhea's cell, she's standing there like she was expecting us.

"I assume that you want to know about your sister." She remarks. So Mon-El has a sister. 

"Where is she?" Mon-El asks forcefully. 

"The Kryptonians have her," she tells us. "They won't give her up. Not without getting something in return." She looks at Kara. Mon-El shakes his head and opens his mouth to say something, but I beat him to it.

"Nope. That will never happen," I say, grabbing Sam's hand. "It can't happen."

"It's okay. We won't let it," Mon-El says putting his arm around Kara. 

"Do you think that you have a choice? If you don't cooperate, then they'll take her by force." Rhea says with a smile on her face, obviously picturing that scene. "You'll be torn apart and you won't be able to do anything about it. Mon-El, you will finally be safe. Kara won't be able to betray you like Kryptonians do." She's still spouting out stuff when we leave and head to the center of the DEO. James and Lena are standing there, waiting for us. 

We fill them in on everything that's been going on. Lena hugs Mon-El and Kara, comforting them. 

"We will find a way around this. I promise,"James says. J'onn comes up to us with his usual poker face, but I can see panic in his eyes.

"We have another alien alert."He tells us. Kara is about to fly off when Mon-El stops her.

"I'm going too,"he says. She nods and they fly off together. I hope that they'll be careful and they better come back.
