Chapter 13

As she flew back towards Central City, Kara debated about whether or not to take Jeremiah back to Star Labs or to the DEO and she ultimately decided that the DEO would be best, since Jeremiah could receive a more thorough examination and she also wanted him to meet Astra.

"Hank, I'm coming in with a plus one." Kara said over her comms, since she'd let Hank sync it to the DEO for when she needed to contact him.

"What, you can't just bring someone to the DEO." Hank said.

"Relax, he already knows about the DEO. He's an agent who was thought to be dead." Kara said.

"Who?" J'onn asked over the comms as she landed at the DEO behind him.

"Turn around and see for yourself." Kara said as Hank did exactly that and nearly dropped his tablet at who was with her.

"Jeremiah." J'onn said in shock.

"Hello Hank." Jeremiah said, since Kara had told him about J'onn on the way to the DEO.

"Get him to the medbay." J'onn barked to a few agents who nodded as they moved to help Kara move Jeremiah to the medbay.

While the doctors were treating Jeremiah, Hank pulled Kara aside.

"How did you find him? Better yet, how did you even know he was alive?" J'onn asked her.

"A member of my team has the power to have visions of things. He used my glasses as sort of an anchor point and saw that Jeremiah was alive and he showed me where he was." Kara said.

"Do you know what happened to him?" J'onn asked.

"Why don't you ask him yourself." Kara said with a smile.

J'onn smiled but before he could walk away, Kara stopped him.

"Have you thought about what I said?" Kara asked.

"I have and maybe you're right. My people can only live on through me if I stop hiding. Besides, I can't keep hiding forever. I'm positive that if you hadn't told Jeremiah before you arrived, he would've blown my cover." J'onn said.

"And you owe Alex the truth to." Kara said.

"I have a meeting with the president tomorrow. Hopefully, she will give me a pardon and allow me to remain the director of the DEO." J'onn said.

"President Marsdin right?" Kara asked and J'onn nodded.

"Why don't I come with you. I've always wanted to meet the president." Kara said.

"I guess having the girl of steel vouch for me couldn't hurt." J'onn said and Kara nodded.

"Now, why don't you go talk to Jeremiah while I call Alex and Eliza, since I think we both know they'd kill me for not telling them." Kara said and J'onn nodded with a chuckle as he moved to talk to Jeremiah while Kara pulled out her phone and dialed Alex's number.

"Kara, now is not a good time." Alex said when she picked up.

"Alex, Jeremiah is alive." Kara said and she could tell that now Alex was completely focused on her.

"What?" Alex asked, thinking she misheard Kara.

"Your father is still alive and I found him. He's here at the DEO." Kara said.

"Tell him I'll call mom and be out there as soon as I can." Alex said.

"See you soon." Kara said as she hung up and smiled.

Once, J'onn and Kara were the only ones visiting Jeremiah in the medbay, they got him to tell them what really happened to him.

"I thought you were dead." J'onn said.

"So did I. I don't know how long I was out for, but I was certain I was dead. When I finally came to, you were long gone, I assumed that like me, you thought I was dead and left. Not that I blame you. I'm not sure how long we were rotting out in the Amazon for before Cadmus found us." Jeremiah said.

"Hold on, we?" Kara asked.

"The real Hank Henshaw. The one who blackmailed me into working for the DEO under the threat of turning you into a lab rat if I refused." Jeremiah explained.

"So he and all of Cadmus likely know who I am?" Kara asked and Jeremiah nodded.

"The reason I worked for them is because they threatened to kill you and Alex and Eliza. I tried to escape, repeatedly, but they didn't appreciate that." Jeremiah said as Kara x ray visioned his arm.

"I'm seeing lots of metal in your right arm." Kara said.

"Cybernetic enhancements. Cadmus saved me so I could save Henshaw." Jeremiah said and Kara nodded.

"I'm just glad that you're finally safe. We'll let you rest and I'll let Alex know where to find you when she gets here." Kara said as she hugged her foster father one more time before she and J'onn moved to let him rest.

There will be one or two more chapters that are more Kara focused to help finish this Jeremiah arc and then I'm going to move on to a short Barry arc.
