Chapter 7

"Major Lane, you have a visitor." Lucy's secretary said to her.

"I don't have time for that." Lucy said, too busy with her work.

"Ma'am, it's Director Henshaw." her secretary said and now Lucy was nervous, since while she'd never interacted with the director before, she knew enough about him to be nervous.

"Send him in." Lucy said as she tried to prepare herself for that meeting as J'onn entered the office.

"Director Henshaw, what brings you here?" Lucy asked nervously.

"Don't worry Major Lane, you have nothing to be worried about. In fact, I want to recruit you for my division." J'onn said.

"You want to recruit me to the DEO. But why?" Lucy asked.

"You'll understand in a minute." J'onn said as he placed his hand on Lucy's temple and proceeded to restore her memories.

"J'onn." Lucy said.

"So, how about it Major Lane?" J'onn asked.

"I'm in." Lucy said.

"Great, but I can't make it official quite yet." J'onn said.

"Why not?" Lucy asked.

"Because right now, we need you to get close to your father." J'onn said.

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked as J'onn played the recording of the conversation between her father and Jacob Kane.

"My dad is willing to risk dangerous kryptonian killing weapons to a terrorist just to try and get rid of Supergirl and Batwoman." Lucy asked.

"And we have reason to believe that the supplier that he and Jacob Kane both referenced is Lex Luthor." Jacob said.

"Of course he is. Just when I think my dad can't sink any lower, I find out that he's resorting to working with my future brother-in-law's greatest enemy." Lucy said.

"So you figured it out." J'onn said.

"Once I learned Kara's identity, it was pretty easy to put together. Which reminds me, I need to call Lois and apologize to her." Lucy said.

"You can do that in person, since she's waiting outside." J'onn said.

"She is?" Lucy asked, surprised.

"Yes, we decided that it would be best if she waited until after I restored your memories. I need to get back to Gotham to help, but Lois can bring you up to speed on the whole plan." J'onn said.

"Okay then." Lucy said as J'onn left her office and a few minutes later, Lois entered it.

"Lois." Lucy said awkwardly, since even though the two of them were sisters, they'd drifted apart to the point where they were practically strangers.

"Lucy. I see you're looking well." Lois said.

"Are you finding this as awkward as I am?" Lucy asked.

"Probably more." Lois said and they both laughed awkwardly.

"So anyways, what's the plan for dealing with dad?" Lucy asked.

"I'm working on an article to expose Dad, but to do that and also stop the sale, I need you to plant this on dad." Lois said as she handed Lucy as a bug.

"Don't you think dad will notice if he's been bugged?" Lucy asked.

"Normally yes, but Winn and Lena figured out a way to infuse the bug with martian DNA, allowing it to shapeshift, so once you plant it on dad, it'll change form and he'll never even know he's wearing it."Lois said.

"Wait, you trust Lena Luthor?" Lucy asked.

"Clark doesn't and I'm on the fence, but Kara does. I guess it's possible that not all the Luthors are horrible people. Though honestly, I think that if Lena does have good in her, it's because she's not Lillian's biological daughter." Lois said.

"Probably true. So anyways, what's the plan after I plant the bug?" Lucy asked.

"Once you plant it, we can use it to learn where the buy is going down and we can also use it to access dad's files and see if we can find any incriminating information in them." Lois said.

"I won't let you down. And I get to do more in your wedding than just attend right?" Lucy asked and Lois rolled her eyes.

"You will be a bridesmaid, but you know Kara is still going to be my maid of honor right." Lois asked and Lucy nodded.

"She deserves it more than me, since honestly, she's been more of a sister to you than I ever was. That's part of why I didn't like her so much. I wasn't just jealous of her friendship with James, I was also jealous of how she is so much closer to you than I am." Lucy said and Lois smiled.

"Well, now that you know the truth, maybe someday we can have a relationship like that." Lois said and Lucy smiled.

"So, what else is going on?" Lucy asked.

"I'll bring you up to speed." Lois said as she brought Lucy fully up to speed on the plan.
