Yesterday night soon after the bomb ignited in the air
Mon-El couldn't peel his eyes away from the sky, "Did they make it out?" Alex and Winn had walked up next to him, "I hope so." Alex said, staring at the sky so hard it was as if she was using x-ray vision to find them, like Kara would. A few moments later, the three appeared as the remnants of the bomb began to fade, "I see them, they're okay!" Winn yelled, pointing up at the sky. Alex sighed in relief, "Oh, thank God." Mon-El squinted at his daughter, lying lifelessly in Clark's arms, "Luna doesn't look okay. She looks really limp." "You're right, that's not good." Alex replied, looking up at her niece.

All of the sudden, they shot off, "Wait, where are they going?" Mon-El asked. Winn started over to one of his computers, "No idea, but we can still track them." Mon-El ran up behind Winn and leaned over his shoulder, "Can you see their heart rates, too?" Winn pulled up their heart rates on the screen, "Yeah, I can. They're all normal." Mon-El slowly stood up, "Good. That's good." Alex glanced over at him worriedly. "Are you okay?" He wiped his mouth, "I just want to know that Luna's okay." "She is. Winn just said-." He cut off Alex, "I know what Winn said, but I want to physically see that she's okay. Because from here, she wasn't looking good. She looked like she was unconscious." "And with the kryptonite radiation, that's quite possibly the case!"

Mon-El looked down at the ground, "Hey. She's gonna be okay." Alex said. He threw up his hands, "We don't know that!" Alex put her hand on his shoulder, "Mon-El! We're all worried, but we have all of their heart rates on the screen. They're still alive. They just went somewhere else for now." "Where?" He asked. "We'll find out when they get there. Their trackers are still on." Winn replied.
"I just hate not knowing." Mon-El said. "I know. I do too." Winn said looking over his shoulder at
Mon-El, "They'll be okay, buddy."

Present day
The Kent Farmhouse
Kara walked into the guest room where Luna slept the night before. She had been feeling a lot better since then. Luna was sitting on her bed waiting for Kara, "Mommy, when can we go home?" Kara walked over to her daughter's bed and sat next to her, "Not quite yet, baby." Luna climbed onto her mother's lap, "Why?" Kara put her chin on top of her daughter's head, "It's not safe yet, okay? We have to stay on the farm for a while." Luna sleepily curled into Kara, "Otay. How long?" "I don't know." Kara replied. Luna looked up at Kara, "I miss daddy." Kara smiled slightly, "I know you do sweetie. I do, too. Just try and get some sleep, okay?" Luna nodded her head and laid down. Kara tucked her in and kissed her on the head, "Goodnight princess. I love you." "I love you too, mommy." Kara shut the door and Luna fell fast asleep.

Meanwhile at the DEO
Mon-El dropped down onto the landing and began walking over to Winn, "Any word on where Cadmus could be hiding?" Winn spun his chair toward Mon-El, "Yes, actually." Alex appeared in the doorway of a neighboring room, "Where?" Winn pivoted to look at her, "Where do you think?"
Mon-El raised his eyebrows, "Creepy abandoned warehouse?" Winn tossed his hands in the air and turned back to face his computer, "Where else would a criminal mastermind be hiding?" Alex puckered her lips and nodded her head, "That's fair." She walked up next to Mon-El. Winn continued to type on his computer, "You guys going in?" Alex and Mon-El turned to face each other, "I am." Said Alex. "Not without me. "Mon-El immediately retorted. Alex patted his shoulder, "Alright, let's go." They walked up the stairs to the landing. Alex threw her arm over Mon-El's shoulder and the two flew to the creepy abandoned warehouse.

When they arrived, the two stood in front of the severely distressed door. Mon-El looked at Alex, "Alright, you wanna go in first, or do you want me to go in first? I don't want this to be a whole-." Alex rolled her eyes and smirked at him, "Just go."
Mon-El pursed his lips together, "Kay." The door creaked open. Alex had her gun held tightly to her chest. Mon-El gestured that it was safe to go in. Alex tip toed over to him and whispered, "Do you see anything?" He quickly glanced back at her, "Nope. Not yet at least. Do you?" Alex shook her head, "No. I'll check over here you check over there." Mon-El whispered back, "Sure, sounds good." They quietly went their separate ways. Alex walked through a door leading to the loading dock. A floor board creaked causing Alex to jump. Lillian Luthor grabbed her from behind, "Miss me?"

"Agent Danvers, how I've missed you." Lillian hissed in Alex's ear. She pulled Alex's com out. Alex wrenched her head away from Lillian, "You haven't missed me." Lillian held on tightly to Alex's wrists, "Not you, but I've missed fighting with the DEO." "Yeah, it's been, what, like a week now?"Alex said, attempting to wriggle away from her grasp. Lillian began twisting Alex's wrists, "A bit less actually." "What do you want?" Alex winced.

Lillian leaned over to Alex's ear yet again, "I want you to release my son from prison." But this time Alex turned to look Lillian square in the face, "I can't do that. He's in for life, you know that." Lillian smirked; "I do. But I know that you know the president. You could make it happen." "But I won't." Alex said. Lillian's smile widened, "Fine. Then you die." All of a sudden, Mon-El threw the door open, "No! Don't kill her." Lillian turned to Mon-El, "Always the hero, aren't you?" "I don't like it when people hurt my family." Mon-El replied, looking over to Alex, gun at his side. Lillian merely smirked again, "How sweet." She aimed the gun at Mon-El. Alex got up and grabbed Lillian and the gun from behind, "You're coming with us." Mon-El grinned at Alex, "Thanks for saving my life." She grinned back, "Thanks for saving mine." "What else is family for?" They both looked at Lillian, who was not very amused, then back at each other. They walked through the warehouse doors with a cuffed Lillian Luthor.

Back at the DEO, they had no idea what had happened. J'onn was distraught, but attempted not to show it, "Winn? Have you gotten Alex's connection back?" Winn shook his head, "No, not yet. " J'onn put his hands on his hips, "What in the world is going on here?" "I'm guessing it was Cadmus." Winn replied, without looking up.
Mon-El and Alex appeared on the steps once again, this time with Lillian, "Indeed it was." Alex said happily. "But, they were no match for the dream team." Mon-El said. The two fist bumped, clearly proud of themselves for a successful mission. Winn cheerfully got up and sped over to Lillian, "Well, well, well, look who it is." She immediately spat on him, "Get out of my face Toy Man Jr." "Okee, I'm going." Alex pushed Lillian toward the cells, "Follow us, we have 5-Star accommodations for you." "Yes, far better than Slaver's Moon." Mon-El added. "True." Alex replied. She sat down on the cell bench. Lillian was losing her patience with their joking around, "Shut up and just leave me be." Mon-El gaped at her, "Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Lillian glared at him, "Get out." Mon-El simply smiled, "Fine! Have a nice stay."

The Kent Farmhouse
Kara and Clark had left earlier in the day to go out into town. Martha was standing in the kitchen. She walked over to the bottom of the stairs and yelled, "Luna! Come here sweetie." Luna poked her head out from behind the wall and stared at Martha with her large, sparkling blue comet eyes, "Yes?" "Do you want something to eat?" Martha asked. Luna began slowly descending the staircase, "Aren't we gonna wait for mommy and Uncle Clark to get back from the town square?" Martha shook her head, "No, they've probably eaten at the café already." Luna leaped off of the second to last step with a huge smile on her face, "Oh, otay. Can we have gilled cheese?"
Martha smiled back down at her, "Sure!" Suddenly Kara walked through the door, "Hey!" "Hi honey." Martha replied, though she immediately noticed Kara was one short, "Where's Clark?" "He's at the café. But, I have to make a phone call. Alex texted me, something about Cadmus and to call her." Kara said, sounding very flustered. Martha had wandered back to the kitchen to get the bread, butter, and cheese out, "Okay, do you want a grilled cheese, too?" She asked. But Kara had already gone upstairs to call Alex, "Alright, never mind." "I'd still make her one. She's always hungry." Luna piped up, causing Martha to snigger.
