A few days after the raid on Cadmus, Supergirl was on the Island, walking towards its living quarters to speak with her new guest who'd been living there since they'd reduced him from Cadmus. The Coluan who claimed to be from the future, Querl Dox, Brainiac 5.

"How are you feeling?" Kara asked him as she entered his living quarters.

"My systems have finally fully recovered from my imprisonment at Cadmus and I look forward to using all my skills to repay you and your comrades for freeing me from them. It's truly an honor to meet the legendary founder and leader of the Justice League, Supergirl." Brainy said and Kara smiled.

"Call me Kara. But based on the report Powergirl gave, it sounds like you were a member of the 31st Century's version of the Justice League?" Kara asked him and Brainy nodded.

"The Legion of Superheroes. The Legion was formed by superpowered individuals like me who were inspired by the heroics of the Justice League and by you." Brainy said.

"So why come here? To this time period, since I doubt that it's for a vacation." Kara asked him.

"You're right. I'm here because while I chose to leave my ancestors' villainous legacy in the past, my other relatives chose to continue on the legacy. One of my cousins, a particularly vindictive one who's the most like the Brainiac of this century, created a plague to wipe out all AIs other than himself. Meaning that the 31st century is no longer safe for me there, so I came here to escape. At the Legion's insistence." Brainy said.

"Got it. And don't tell me anymore about the future, we don't want to risk messing things up. But you're welcome here in this time period and on my team. My team here in National City, not the Justice League. At least not yet. But we can set you up with a real life here in the 21st century and you can either work for me at Argo Enterprises or join the DEO or find a completely different job if you want." Kara said.

"I think that I'll join your sister and J'onn J'onzz at the DEO. I don't want to risk advancing your company's technology too much due to my 12th level 31st century intellect." Brainy said and Kara nodded.

"I'll let them know to expect you. But you'll need to move off the Island. You need to develop a life." Kara said.

"I know. I was just staying here while I recovered and until I found a place to live." Brainy assured her.

"Good. And if you ever change your mind and decide to come work for me, you've got an open invitation." Kara said and Brainy nodded as he shook her hand.

"Welcome aboard. Come on, the rest of my team should be assembled by now, since my sister should be back from Oa by now." Kara said and Brainy nodded as he followed her out of the living quarters.

"This must be our new teammate." Alex said when Kara and Brainy joined her, Felicity, J'onn, Lena, Karen, M'gann and Krypto in the main room.

"Meet Querl Dox, aka Brainiac 5. He's going to be joining our team here in National City." Kara said.

"Welcome aboard." Alex said, holding out her hand to Brainy, who shook it.

"Pleasure to meet you all. And I was hoping I could secure a job at the Department of Extranormal Operations. I believe my experience and knowledge would be most beneficial there." Brainy said.

"Done." J'onn said, since he was honestly relieved to no longer be the only man on this team, since Krypto was a male dog, it wasn't the same thing.

Speaking of Krypto, the dog cautiously walked up to Brainy and began to sniff him.

"Time for the ultimate test to see if Brainy gets to stay." Karen said to M'gann, who nodded, since she'd gone through this test too.

After a few minutes, Krypto barked happily and wagged his tail to show that he approved of their new team member.

"It's official. But anyways, Alex, what did the Guardians say when you told them about Felicity's scarab?" Kara asked, since she wanted to be sure that the scarab was safe for both Felicity and the general population before she allowed Felicity out in the field.

"I showed them the scans I took of Felicity's scarab and they provided some answers about why it's not acting normally compared to most Reach scarabs. Something disabled the scarab's reach programming, putting it off mode as the Guardians called it. As long as nothing puts it back on mode, it should be safe to use. Though what put it off mode in the first place is a mystery to them. And unfortunately, since it's off mode, it can't be used as proof that the Reach violated the treaty. So unless the Reach come here and put the Scarab back on mode, while it can't be used to prove the threat the Reach are, it's no threat to us either. Felicity will just need to learn to control it." Alex said.

"But I'm clear to start training with it?" Felicity asked and Alex nodded.

"Which makes it even better that Brainy's joined us, since now that Felicity's in the field and Lena's learning to master her magic, we need more tech support here." Kara said.

"How is your magic practice going?" Felicity asked Lena.

"Slowly. Zatanna's teaching me as best as she can, but she's still working on controlling her power herself." Lena said.

"I thought she already had years of training in that regard?" J'onn asked.

"She does, but before our dad died, she mainly used her magic to entertain people in Vegas. I think she's kind of afraid to do the kind of magic that our father did or that Doctor Fate does." Lena admitted.

"She'd better pull it together soon, since it's only a matter of time until your dad's old enemy the Wizard surfaces and I want to have as much mystic firepower as possible to counter him." Kara said and Lena nodded.

"She's trying, but I think I might need to look into an alternative teacher." Lena said.

"We'll discuss it later. But for now, I think we all have lives we need to get back to." Kara said and the whole team nodded as they began to go their separate ways.
