It's been a week since Kara revealed herself to National City and she's getting a handle on her powers. Today, the DEO is testing her powers by shooting rockets at her.

"Is that the fastest you can go?" Hank asks her through the comms.

"Are these tests mandatory for everyone or just because I'm a.." Kara was asking when Hank interrupted her.

"It's not because you're a woman, Miss Danvers. The DEO requires rigorous physical and psychological evaluation for all its prospective field operations." Hank says.

"I was gonna say alien." Kara states finishing her though process.

"Hey, you should've seen my training course." Peter tells her while sitting on a chair watching her flying around the area.

"He's correct. A novice superhero could be a liability in a field. I need to know all of my heroes are in full control of their powers. Stamina, strength, speed." Hank lists off when Kara passes and shatters the glass as she passes.

"There goes the sound barrier." Peter says a little unimpressed since he watched Superman do the same thing multiple times. After the thirteenth time, it becomes redundant.

"Fire again." Hank says and they send more rockets her way and she maneuvers them so they destroy themselves and comes back for landing.

"So, did I pass?" Kara asks them.

"I see you share your cousin's appetite for wanton destruction, Miss Danvers." Hank tells her as Peter and Alex joins them.

"You know, I am starting to answer to Supergirl." Kara tells them and they just give her a look. "It's cool, we'll...we'll find our thing." She tells them and Hank leaves the group.

"Well, I gotta go. Personal emergency." Peter says and walks away.

"Gwen doing okay?" Alex asks him as Peter closes his mask while walking away.

"Family emergency." Peter clarifies before blasting off into the sky with his repulsers.

"He's getting used to those repulsers." Alex says a little confused about what he meant by family emergency since everyone knows his family is gone.

"What was that about?" Kara asks.

"Not sure, Peter's never been one to talk much about his family." Alex says and starts walking with Hank.

"Is all of this really necessary?" Kara asks regarding everything. "I'm ready, Alex, for all of it. I can do this." She promises her sister.

"Believe it or not, he's just looking out for you. You know, they both are." Alex says regarding Peter. "I had a full year of training before he even let me in the field. Peter spent a full year and half getting used to his powers on assignments and getting used to his gadgets and suit before allowed into the field." She informs her sister. " But I'm really glad that you're here, though. I hated keeping this whole part of my life from you."

"And growing up, I always thought you were such a bad liar." Kara states.

"That's what a good liar makes you think." Alex responds when Winn calls Kara and tells her there's a fire on the National City port and needs to leave.

"Hey, you've been dodging missiles and pushing your endurance for the last two hours. Even you have your limits." Alex tells her.

"For the last twelve years I hid who I was. I don't have to anymore. And I don't want to miss a minute of it." Kara states. "Besides, this sounds like a job for Supergirl." She refers herself to the third person before blasting off into the sky.

Peter was making his way to Chattahoochee Hills where he was raised with his parents before he moved to National City and lands near his parents home, his childhood home. It seems to have been abandoned after all of this time out here.

He retracts his mask to breathe in the air of his childhood. The fresh, clean air was always much easier for his senses to handle. It's just the way he was raised, he had to quickly get used to the city's loud noises and everything.

Once he makes it to the door, he breaks down the doors since there are plants growing over it. Peter places his mask back on and does some scans of his childhood home and doesn't find anything that he didn't already know.

The upstairs isn't hiding anything except his childhood room and his parents bedrooms. Nothing in the attic except a thousand cobwebs. There's nothing below floor level so there isn't some secret underneath like Clark's folks had.

Peter just removes his mask and goes through the house and hears as the echoes of the past go through his head of childhood memories. He heads to the back door and starts heading around when he remembers an old barn they used to keep their truck in.

He quickly retracts his mask back on and does another scan and finds something hiding underneath where the barn once stood.

"What were you guys hiding?" Peter asks knowing his parents can't hear him but is still confused and starts making his way towards the barn graveyard.

Back in the city, Kara failed to stop the fire and caused a oil spill into the ocean. And somehow Jameson still is finding ways to blame Spider-Man.

"Miracle or menace? That's what the citizens of National City are asking themselves after the latest attempt at heroics by Supergirl left the bay facing an ecological disaster." The news goes on as Kara makes it back to work with Miss Cat's things and is getting off the elevator when Winn approaches.

"Oh, god, is that smell you?" Winn asks her.

"Three showers and I still reek of burning oil." Kara states angry and nervous seeing her incident is all over the news. "I went from superhero to ecoterrorist in a single bound."

"You're just, like, a week into this superhero thing, you're gonna make some mistakes. Like when you first started working here and Cat asked you to get her lunch and you went to Chipotle." Winn tells her.

"Yeah, except now I'm making mistakes in front of the whole world." Kara says and looks up to the news.

"Forget about Supergirl's lack of experience, I'm talking about the trouble she'll bring to National City. Look at Metropolis . Since Superman's arrival, a veritable super bad guy war has been waged on that city. Their maintenance budget s have quadrupled." Maxwell Lord states. "National City does not need Metropolis' problems."

"Who cares what that guy thinks?" Winn asks Kara.

"You do. Isn't Maxwell Lord your personal hero?" Kara questions him.

"I own a couple Maxwell Lord watches and his biography. And his autobiography." Winn admits. "You know, maybe Spider-Man could give you some pointers. Don't you see him like every day?" He asks her.

"Spider-Man has seemed to have vanished to a family emergency." Kara tells him wondering herself to where Peter left to when her super hearing picks up Miss Cat approaching. "She's here." She tells Winn.

"At least now I know how you do that." Winn says as Cat gets off her elevator and Kara hands her latte and she tells Kara a content meeting in her office fast.

-

"We're all aware of Supergirl's latest debacle, yes?" Cat asks referring to the incident.

"She made sure no one will surf National City for the next 10,000 years." One of the people in the meeting said. "Some hero." He also adds.

"It was the lead story on the Daily Planet homepage, and the Daily Bugle, their fifth in as many days. Which annoys me because they both already have a go-to superhero of their own, and now the two of them are stealing mine." Cat tells them referring to Superman and Spider-Man. "Now, when I branded her, there was an implicit promise that she would be, at a minimum, above average. But in the past week, she has proved herself to be...what's the opposite of super? #Terriblegirl?" She asks.

"You know, Superman made plenty of mistakes when he first started." James defends. "At least she's saving lives."

"In the sloppiest, most awkward way imaginable, James." Cat states to him and Kara is trying to stay calm. "So it is left to us to take control of Supergirl's narrative. Save her from self-immolation and scoop the Planet and Bugle. I want an interview." She suggests and Kara tries holding back a scoff, but it didn't escape Cat.

"I'm sorry, I just starting to think about this kitten video I saw online earlier." Kara says and quickly shuts up before she says anything else.

"James...perhaps your friend in blue would be useful in arranging a sit down?" Cat asks James. "Maybe you could broach the subject, the next time you bro hang."

"It doesn't really work that way, ms. Grant." James tells her.

"Well, let me assure you, Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and all of the hags over at the Daily Planet, and most of everyone at the Bugle are working day and night to get this exclusive. We need to get it first. I want a sit down with Supergirl. A girl to girl. And I want it by the end of the week. Start with Spider-Man. The Bugle wouldn't be caught dead using him." She states and they all leave.

Peter is working on digging through the wood of the barn using the arms to move the big pieces or digging into the dirt. Once his scanners picked up something large underneath the rubble, he knew he was looking in the right spot.

He removes the last piece and finds what appears to be a basement he never knew existed. Peter leaps down and looks to see something being covered by a sheet.

This could be the answers he's been looking for...but is he ready to know the answers?

Peter puts on a brave face for himself and rips off the sheet and reveals a shuttle craft.

"This...this cant be happening." Peter mumbled to himself shocked to see this. As he looks over the ship to figure out exactly what this is when he sees something in the back that's carved out that is actually the same as his necklace.

Peter removes the necklace from around his neck and places the emblem into the disk and watches as the ship hums to life.

A quick hologram appears of a man who looks similar to Peter, in fact, extremely similar. The man was tall, had short black hair like Peter's, even the suit he was wearing was similar to Peter's spider suit except without the color scheme.

"Ho-Ren. My son." The man says and Peter is shocked but was also expecting it. "If you're hearing this, it means you're searching for answers. Our world and way of life was dying, and we knew nothing could reverse it. So me and the El family found a world where you could grow in peace. But knowing it was a new environment and knowing how the people of earth will treat others who are different, we have found a way of engineering your DNA to be the same as the humans, but we know you will still be different." He explains to Peter.

Peter looks at his hands in shock that that's why he doesn't have powers like Kara or Clark. Because, according to what he's saying, he was engineered to be different, but still similar to humans.

"My name is Al-Ren, king of Krypton. Your Kryptonian name is Ho-Ren, prince of Krypton. You are one of the few survivors of our home world. Even though you must have now been raised as a human being, you are not one of them. You will have great powers. We sent you here to live as one of them, to discover where your strength and your power are needed. But always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. This symbol, to humans is a spider, it truly means to help those in need of it, even when they don't ask for it. It's not about where you were born or the powers you have or what you wear in your chest; it's about what you do. I hope to one day see you, my son, but all I can give you now is a chance to live. I love you, my son, never forget that." Al-Ren finishes and the hologram shuts down and the necklace drops and Peter webs it back to him.

This explains everything to Peter, his powers, his family, where he comes from, why he was sent here, but also leaves a bit of a emptiness inside of him to know the life he's lived was bigger than he could've imagined. The prince of an entire world, that was not what he was expecting.

Back in National City, the DEO was called in to a chemical plant after an attack took place and killed someone.

Kara was looking over the victim when Hank and Alex turned up. They haven't heard from Peter and are starting to get either worried or suspicious to where he left to but need to put him on hold.

"What's she doing here?" Hank asks Alex regarding Kara.

"I called her, sir. We hunt aliens. She is one. It's a resource we didn't have before. Besides, with Peter absent, we could use her." Alex says as Kara sees them approaching.

"What can I do to help?" Kara asks them.

"Don't cause any oil spills." Hank states regarding the incident.

"Take a look around. Don't touch anything." Alex tells Kara and she leaves to do just that.

"Alex, this whole facility specializes in chemical manufacturing. Sodium hypochlorite, ammonium nitrate." Hank tells her.

"Ingredients for a chemical bomb? We should have Agent Stacy look over what they could create with what was stolen." Alex offers as a solution.

"Yeah, you do that. We need to know what they're planning and stop them as fast. Which means finding Parker. Where'd he go?" Hank asks her.

"Gwen last picked his tracker up in Chattahoochee Hills somewhere heading back to National City." Alex answers and pulls up the tracker is showing he's already back at the DEO.

Kara looks and sees the spike being pulled out of the man's face and knows the species name, Hellgrammites.

-

Peter walks into the DEO and is carrying the message that he was able to detach from the rest of the pod.

"Hey, here'd you go?" Gwen asks seeing him and what he's carrying. "What's this?" She asks him.

"My answers." Peter says when everyone returns and Peter pulls Gwen into a different room.

"You're looking for a Hellgrammite. That stinger you pulled out, I've seen it before on Krypton. My mother send one of their kind to Fort Rozz." Kara informs them.

"According to the data we salvaged form the wreckage of Fort Rozz, there was a Hellgrammite prisoner." Alex confirms.

"Wat do we know about his species?" Hank asks.

"Not much." Alex admits and pulls up the picture of the creature.

"It's basically a large insect, but he can camouflage himself into any shape he wants. Humanoid included." Kara explains to them.

"A giant insect trying to steal bomb grade chemical compounds." Hank recaps his morning. "This job never ceases to surprise."

"You guys track him down, and me and Peter will take him out, just like we did with Vartox." Kara tells them.

"Sure thing, Miss Danvers. If you can prove to us you can handle yourself without getting killed." Hank states and Alex brings her to the triaging room.

-

"I love you, my son, never forget that." Al-Ren finishes and Peter shuts down the hologram again and looks to Gwen who is shocked and confused.

"So...your real name is Ho-Ren. And you're royalty. And the only reason you don't have Superman's powers was because you were created to appear human and that's where your spider powers came from." Gwen recaps what she got from that message. "My boyfriend is a prince of a dead civilization. That's something that would give anyone else a check in the father-in-law check list." She jokes and looks to Peter who's head is facing down.

"Please don't tell me you're overthinking things again." Gwen begs of him knowing he has the tendency to do just that.

"It's just...I knew I was different, and that I've been looking for these answers for years..but I never expected the answers to be a million light years from earth." Peter states and walks around the room.

"Is it better now that you have the answers, or is it worse?" Gwen asks him.

"I...I don't know. A part of me is relieved to finally know where I came from, but another part is seriously confused about everything. I don't know how to think." Peter says and looks down at the emblem and holds his necklace in his hands. "I wore this to maybe have someone say I know what that means. Now I know it's supposed to mean my family name, the House of Ren, I don't know if I can keep using it." He says before leaning against the wall and dropping to the floor

Gwen walks up and kneels down and puts her hand on the center of the Spider-Man emblem. "You want to know what I see when I look at your emblem?" She asks him and he looks up at her. "I see the symbol that has been given people of the world hope long before the big man with a cape appeared. I see the man that no matter how many times he gets hit never stays down, no matter how many times he's taken a beating. I see the man that I love. No message is going to change my feelings about you Peter Parker, Ho-Ren." She says trying out his real name.

Peter looks up and she hears how that sounded. "Are we sure there wasn't a glitch?" Gwen asks referring to the message hearing how the name sounded.

"Hey, it cheered me up." Peter admits before getting back up ready to get back out there.

Kara returned to work and was able to get some good advice from her boss and asked Winn to meet her in the alley.

But when Winn got there, he was met by James.

"Hey, what's up?" James asks Winn.

"Nothing." Winn says. "I...I like to come out here to...smoke." He quickly lies.

"Actually, I'm meeting someone right now so..." James tells him.

"You can meet him inside the building." Winn informs him.

"My friend likes to make an entrance." James says when Kara comes back wearing her suit.

"He knows?" Winn and James asks looking at each other.

"James already knew. And Winn's my friend." Kara tells the two of them. "If I'm gonna be a hero, and prove to everyone that I know what I'm doing, I'm gonna need to practice. Star small, get better. And to do that, I'm gonna need your help." She explains to why they're here.

"I'm in." They both say at the same time again.

The Hellgrammite was feasting on the chemicals when suddenly two Kryptonians appears and throw him into the wall.

"I don't want any trouble." The Hellgrammite tells them.

"Then you should've stayed hidden under your rock with the rest of the insects." One of them tells him.

"I have to eat." Hellgrammite tells them.

"General Astra promised she would take care of all your needs on this world. Her only request was your loyalty." He informs him.

"Tell her I prefer to go it alone." Hellgrammite replies.

"Tell her yourself." He says as Astra appears and flies towards them.

"I don't want part of whatever you're planning." Hellgrammite tells her.

"Like I told you all when we first crashed here and escaped Fort Rozz, we are stronger together." Astra tell him. "There are two Kryptonian's working with the humans. One happens to be my niece. She calls herself Supergirl. The other is from the house of Ren and calls himself Spider-Man. You will make excellent bait to help me capture them."

"I've seen what happens to people when they are on someone wearing those emblems on Krypton and from here." The Hellgrammite states knowing exactly how powerful the house of Ren is and Superman.

"This is not an invitation, it's a command." Astra informs him.

-

As for Supergirl, she's been spending the day taking care of small crimes throughout the city to build herself up to bigger crimes.

"A dazzling display of heroics by the Girl of Steel now has a grateful National City asking, what oil spill? You hear that wall crawling menace? You're not needed in this city anymore!" Jameson continues going on.

"He's gotta be getting sick of me at some point." Peter states watching the Daily Bugle.

"They've been hating you for a decade." Gwen informs him. "Isn't that what you started off doing? Rescuing snakes from trees and stuff like that?" She asks him while running a search for the Hellgrammite.

"Who names their snake Fluffy?" Peter wonders not seeing who would name a snake that. Cuddles, maybe.

While they're talking, Alex came back from talking with Kara.

"What's the news on the Hellgrammite?" Alex asks them.

"We've confirmed six similar attacks on chemical plants across the country over the past year." Hank says referring to the past activity. "He's been making his way to National City with enough chemical components to build a weapon of mass destruction."

"I'm not so sure about that, sir." Gwen interrupts and they look towards her. "The tests I ran on the blood indicates his alien DNA isn't carbon based like humans. It has a strange chlorine foundation."

"Each of those facilities stored confiscated DDT, which is a chlorine pesticide." Alex adds on.

"Well, if he's not building a weapon, what does he need DDT for?" Hank asks them all.

Peter thinks for a minute and realizes something. "He's eating it." He tells them.

"That makes sense. Given his home planet's atmosphere conditions, DDT would be the closest thing on earth he could use as a food source." Gwen tells them.

"Since DDT was banned, the government has been destroying remaining stockpiles. His food source is shrinking." Alex replies.

"Well, if this thing is hungry, let's buy him some dinner." Hank states and Peter thinks he's smelling what he's cooking.

-

Turns out, Peter was correct. That night, they grabbed all of the DDT they could get their hands on in short notice and threw it onto a truck and now are waiting for the Hellgrammite as Hank and Alex are in a car behind them and Peter is in the skies watching everything from above.

"Given The Hellgrammite's sense of smell, he should've sensed the DDT in the atmosphere by now." Alex says when suddenly, the Hellgrammite comes leaping in and feasting.

"Trap one, target is on the vehicle!" Hank yells and they start shooting at the vehicle.

Peter comes flying in as Hank gets hit by one of the spheres the Hellgrammite shoots out. The Hellgrammite leaps onto the vehicle but is interrupted by Spider-Man swooping in and the Hellgrammite starts fighting him in the sky.

"You'll see I'm not as easy as a human." Peter informs the Hellgrammite when he stabs Peter with one of the spikes into his legs and starts feeling weak and begins crashing. Seconds before hitting the ground, everything in his vision goes black.

-

Later he wakes back up to see his suit is missing and he's back in his normal clothes he keeps on underneath the suit and his hands handcuffed with string cuffs.

"Well, Well, Well, Ho-Ren." Astra greets before entering the room. "You have grown up, I see." She says looking at Peter closely.

"Sorry, have we met before? I haven't visited the loonybin in some time." Peter tries quipping.

"The other one didn't show." Hellgrammite tells Astra. "But he was there with the human agents. Hoping he's enough to keep you off my back." He says before leaving.

"I never imagined seeing another Ren alive after Krypton died, and yet here's the last of his family." Astra states to him.

"For the record, I just learned that I was a part of the house of Ren this morning." Peter informs her.

"Well, it's about time we had a talk." Astra says while smiling.

"To quote every good Star Wars movie I've ever seen...I've got a bad feeling about this." Peter says trying to be funny in this moment of terror knowing she's got the same powers as the Big Two.

-

Back at Catco, Kara was telling James how she'll do the interview with Cat and James explains how he moved here to try to get out of Superman's shadow and Kara explains how on Krypton that was considered an honor.

"Did he ever tell you what that S means?" Kara asks James.

"The House of El." James answers correctly.

"Yes, But, It also stands for a Kryptonian phrase, our family motto. El mayarah. It means stronger together." Kara explains to him. "You day people will see me the way they see Superman one day, but...I don't want to be a hero like him. My cousin. He's so used to going it alone, he doesn't know any other way. But I do. I see it now. You, Winn, my sister, Spider-Man, ms. Grant even, you've all showed me that. James, part of being your own man is knowing when to accept help." She says and James sees what she means.

"You really want to do that interview?" James asks her.

"First, I was scared, but I'm not anymore. I want to do it. For what were trying to do here together." Kara says when her phone rings and answers it.

"It's Henshaw. There's been an incident. Spider-Man's been hero-napped." Hank informs her.

-

All of the agents are being brought back in to be checked up on as Kara comes through the halls and sees Hank.

"I should've been there to help. If I was there...if you trusted me instead of putting me through your tests, I could've stoped this." Kara states to him.

"Or maybe you'd be captured just like him." Hank tells her.

"Look, Gwen is working on getting the tracking beacon from his suit back online, and we have every satellite and tactical drone up in the air, searching everywhere for him." Alex informs them.

"And now you have me too." Kara says and leaves to find him.

"Wait!" Gwen's voice fills the room and they look to see her carrying a small device that's about the same size of a tuna can. "This is Peter's backup Iron-Spider. The name grew on us. With how the tracker is disabled, I'm guessing his suit is broken. Just place it on his back or chest, and the suit will form around him." She explains to her and hands it to Kara.

"I'll get him back, I promise." Kara tells Gwen and takes her leave.

-

Kara goes around the city flying and tries listening that could give her any indication where Peter is.

In the said location, Astra looks to Peter's leg that was injured in the crash.

"You're bleeding...I suppose that being built up from human blood makes a Kryptonian so fragile. It's amazing you were able to make it out of infancy." Astra states to him.

"Alura." Peter tells her.

"How do you know that name?" Astra asks Peter.

"I saw the footage of Fort Rozz with someone wearing your face." Peter explains.

"Twins were rare on Krypton, you know.." Astra informs him. "When we were children, Alura and I took great pleasure in confusing our parents."

"To be fair, that does sound like something I'd do." Peter mumbled to himself. "So you're the evil twin. Good to know." He states thinking it's not a good idea to mock his captor.

"I am General Astra. And what is the earth name you go by, Ho-Ren?" Astra asks him and Peter has more sense than to answer that, knowing they'll go after his friends and Gwen. "You're brave, I'll give you that. Braver than most of this planet for someone who was raised by them."

"What do you have against this city?" Peter asks her.

"What do you think my goal is?" Astra asks him. "That my goal is simply to kill humans? No, Ho-Ren, I am here to save you all." She promises him.

"Wouldn't count on it." Peter says knowing by now, Kara has been contacted and is somewhere listening for him.

Kara did in fact hear Peter and knows where he is.

"Director Henshaw, I found him." Kara informs into her comms. "A warehouse at the corner of 78th and Washington. I'm going in, and I'll get him back." She says and Hank tries warning her, but the feed gets cut.

Kara lands and looks around before seeing Peter without his suit, as Gwen though, on the floor holding his bruised leg.

"Peter, thank god." Kara says moving to him.

"No! Run! It's a trap!" Peter tries warning before Astra comes speeding in and punches Kara across the room.

"It's been a long time, Little one." Astra says to Kara who's confused seeing how similar she is to her mother. "Look how you've grown. So beautiful."

"But you...you died. When Krypton exploded. Everyone died. You died. Aunt Astra.." Kara states as Astra looks to Peter.

"Looks like someone never told the rest of his team." Astra states.

"I just found out this morning, back of, crazy." Peter states when he suddenly realizes Kara dropped his second suit holding case close in a pile of garbage.

"Told us what?" Kara questions.

"Oh, it doesn't matter right now. I wasn't on Krypton when it perished." Astra says getting back on track. "I was a prisoner aboard Fort Rozz. Did your mother not tell you? How she sent me away? Banished her own blood? Imprisoned me for speaking the truth while she told only lies?"

"Why'd she send you to Fort Rozz?" Peter asks while trying to sneak towards the suit canister.

"For being a hero." Astra tells them. "For trying to save our world."

"I remember so many nights, sitting on your lap, listening as you taught me all the names of the stars." Kara says as Astra approaches her.

"Then let me educate you once again, dear niece." Astra says to her while moving some hair out of her face. "Your alliance with the humans and this weak...insect is misplaced. Do not stand against me." She threatens Kara. "I let one planet die, I will not do so again."

"Funny, I was going to say the same thing." Kara tells her and moves out of the way as Peter, finally dressed into his Iron-Spider suit, blasts Astra through the building.

"And FYI, spiders are arachnids." Peter corrects her when she called him an insect.

Astra soon gets back up and shoots them using her laser eyes and Kara does the same thing to countermeasure it. Peter was about to help stop Astra when the Hellgrammite comes back and throws Peter across the room.

"Last week, I was a Agent of the DEO. Today, I wish I moved to Metropolis." Peter mumbles to himself wondering where he went wrong in his life.

"Maybe I was wrong about you." Astra says regarding Kara. "Join me, little one."

"Never call me that again." Kara demands before floating casting their lasers to hit a part of the ceiling and it falls onto Astra.

Across the building, Peter and the Hellgrammite are fighting each other off. "It's nothing personal, your highness. Just every species has a will to survive." Hellgrammite tells Peter.

"First things first, don't refer to me as your highness." Peter warns him. "Also, I have something giant insects don't." He states and activates the metallic arms and slams him into the wall and punches him in the face, causing him to be knocked out. "Arachnids have eight legs." He finishes knowing he can't hear him and the arms retract.

Kara and Astra are flying around the inside of the room fighting each other from above and Kara is taking a beating but is still fighting.

"You chose for it to end like this instead of allying with your family." Astra says as she slams Kara into the ground. "Now you can die alone." She says and picking up Kara. "You might wanna rethink the cape." She informs Kara before throwing her using said cape.

Kara comes back in and smashes Astra into a steel pipe and they begin to fight again and Kara remembers what Alex told her about using an a opponents strength against them. She uses that knowledge and smashes Astra to the ground.

Peter comes in and sees he missed the fight. Not that he was complaining.

"Are you okay?" Kara asks before they both get hit by a blast of cold air from Astra sending them flying.

"I saw on the news you haven't quite mastered that one yet." Astra says referring to the oil incident when Hank appears behind them.

"Stop! Stay where you are." Hank yells while raising a gun at Astra.

Astra just speeds off and grabs him by the neck. "You possess no weapon that could harm me." She informs Hank.

"You are so wrong." Hank says and reveals a Kryptonite knife and stabs her arm.

Astra quickly drops Hank and takes off into the sky leaving them behind.

"Any more family I should know about?" Hank asks the heroes as more agents come in to move them all out.

-

Back at the DEO, Peter and Kara just got finished getting checked out.

"Nice work with that Hellgrammite." Kara congratulates Peter.

"Hey, I've been fighting aliens long before you showed up, Skirt." Peter informs her smiling. "Besides, you were a little busy with the family reunion." He states.

"Yeah, regarding back then, what was she talking about you hiding something?" Kara asks him and Peter goes into a moment of silence trying to find out what to say.

"Come with me." Peter says knowing it's better to show than tell.

He then brings her to his room they gave him in the DEO and plays the same message he showed Gwen and activates it.

"Ho-Ren. My son. If you're hearing this, it means you're searching for answers. Our world and way of life was dying, and we knew nothing could reverse it. So me and the El family found a world where you could grow in peace. But knowing it was a new environment and knowing how the people of earth will treat others who are different, we have found a way of engineering your DNA to be the same as the humans, but we know you will still be different.

It's not about where you were born or the powers you have or what you wear in your chest; it's about what you do. I hope to one day see you, my son, but all I can give you now is a chance to live. I love you, my son, never forget that." Al-Ren says once again before Peter turns it off.

"Wow. That's a lot to take in." Kara states and looks to Peter. "I don't know what you could possibly be going through."

"Nothing's changed." Peter says while looking down hearing the message for the third time that changed his life. "I've been searching for answers for over ten years, it just took going back to where it all began to learn the truth."

"My aunt...she knows about us and we need to stop her." Kara states to him.

"I'm all for that." Peter agrees with her.

"I have to be ready for her next time. Show me how to fight. Train me to be like you." Kara asks Peter.

"Only if you can keep up." Peter tells her happy to help a fellow hero.

"On Krypton, I remember aunt Astra and my mother always arguing. And my mother told me it's because she never had any faith in people." Kara explains.

"Well, I have faith in you, skirt." Peter tells her.

"You have to stop calling me that." Kara states, while laughing at the stupid nickname he's given her.

"Not gonna happens, skirt." Peter mocks before leaving.

"Does Gwen know about this?" Kara asks regarding the message.

"She's the only one other than you who does know this exists." Peter says before leaving her for a date with said Gwen and Alex comes looking for her sister.

Alex then later shows to Kara an artificial intelligence version of her mother she could talk about Astra to.

"Thanks for helping me set up that room for her." Alex thanks Hank.

"Anything for Supergirl." Hank states.

"I won't tell her you called her that." Alex promises.

"I'd appreciate that." Hank says before walking away and his eyes start glowing.
