Believer
Supergirl and the lawyer walk through the warehouse together very cautiously so as not to make noise. Supergirl is following the lawyer.
"So what exactly is this problem you need help with?" asks Supergirl with a whisper.
"As you can imagine, I meet a lot of people in my line of work. Recently I've started hearing about some really strange people. They're very big fans of yours." explains the lawyer.
"I have a lot of fans." responds Supergirl, trying to sound dismissive.
As the lawyer speaks, they start to hear chants, "Not like these. The rise in accidents and crimes recently? I think they're behind it. I've been hearing from a few former clients that it's all part of some master plan, and from what I've been hearing, they should be meeting here today. In this warehouse in fact."
"But why?"
The chants get louder.
"It's all for you." suggests the lawyer.
Supergirl and the lawyer hide as they come upon a large room with people in cloaks standing around who don't notice them. The lawyer moves out of Supergirl's line of sight.
"Me?" wonders Supergirl.
"They don't think that you get the credit you deserve. All those anti-alien activists out there? They want to prove them wrong. To show them all what a great hero you can be. A true god on earth." suggests the lawyer.
"You seem to know a lot about them. Why not just report it?" asks Supergirl.
The lawyer adds, "That would be self defeating. After all, I am one of them."
Supergirl turns to the lawyer, who is now wearing a cloak like the other people in the room. From his cloak, he reveals a piece of Kryptonite. Supergirl begins to feel weak and falls to the ground.

Alex and Wynn are watching Alicia in her cell at the DEO on the monitor.
"She's been gone too long." declares Alex.
"You think it was a trap?" asks Wynn.
"I know it was, which is why Supergirl wouldn't let us go with her. The only question is whether she knew what she was sending Supergirl into."
Alex walks towards the holding area, entering it.
"What did you do to Supergirl?" Alex asks angrily.
Alicia is confused, "What do you mean?"
"Don't tell me you don't know. You sent her into a trap." insists Alex, trying to get Alicia off balance.
"What? No..." insists Alicia.
"You couldn't handle that Supergirl and Kara Danvers weren't the same person so you sent Supergirl into a trap as revenge." Alex accuses.
"I would never do that. I... I love Supergirl. She's my hero." Alicia declares, getting more worried.
Alex looks at her with skepticism, "The thing about heroes is that they never live up to your expectations."
"Supergirl does." Alicia pushes back, clearly believing what she's saying.
A moment passes between them as Alex considers what Alicia is saying.
"Then why did you send Supergirl after that lawyer?" wonders Alex.
Alicia answers honestly, "She asked me for my help, so I gave it to her. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless he was part of the group." says Alicia ominously.
"Which group?" questions Alex.
"There's this group of Supergirl fans. They tried to recruit me, but they're too creepy for me. You don't really hear about them unless you're really plugged into the fandom. They... have some really bad ideas." explains Alicia.
"What kind of ideas?"
"The kind that involve Kryptonite."
