Alex spends more time with everyone's favorite teenagers, and the Nine Fort Rozz-ers run into some trouble looking for Jindah Kol Rozz. Also, Brainy is funny when he gets upset.

Enjoy!

Reign walked into her fortress, approaching the hologram in the center of the room, which frowned at her. "Why were you delayed?"

"It's her," Reign sneered. "I can feel her."

"Who?"

"The human side of me. She has strength I did not expect."

"She is no excuse for failure."

"You're right," Reign acknowledged, nodding. "I must focus and find the others."

"You have another mission first," the hologram informed her. "The fortress has detected a signal. Supergirl and your other enemies have boarded Fort Rozz."

"What for?" Reign frowned.

"For more information about you, I presume. The Dark Priestess Jindah Kol Rozz has been imprisoned in Fort Rozz well before the destruction of Krypton. She knows the entire extent of our mission. She knows of your friends, the other Worldkillers. If Supergirl gets to her to get any information – "

"It'll thwart our plans," Reign concluded.

The hologram nodded. "You need to get to her before Supergirl does."

Reign nodded in agreement.

Livewire frowned, shining her flashlight everywhere. "This place is like the Mall of America."

"Oh, you have that here?" Sara asked Kara, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, we do," Kara nodded. "Why?"

"OK, Thea, the next time we take a break, girls' day at the Mall of America."

Thea smirked. "Got it."

"She's not wrong," Laurel shook her head. "You can wander around here for days and not find a thing."

Psi wrinkled her nose. "Do you smell that?"

Kara frowned, sniffing. "What?"

"Another dead body of an incompetent male, perhaps?" Livewire asked snidely.

Imra stopped. "I smell it."

Someone yelled, then a dark silver staff caught Thea in the side, knocking her into one of the cell doors. The dark-skinned woman wielding the staff turned and pointed it at Kara with a snarl. "You!" she growled. "You bear the sign of the House of El. How dare you show your face around here!"

Zari stepped in front of Kara, blocking the alien's view of the crest, and tapped her totem, making it flare red. She threw out both her hands, blasting the prisoner away. While she was distracted, Imra telekinetically yanked a cell door free and tossed it at her. Psi braced herself, sending a shockwave at her, but it did nothing. Livewire shot bolts of electricity at the prisoner as Laurel and Amaya backed up to find a good attack point, Sara twirling her batons into its full staff form. Psi stepped forward when the prisoner's back was turned, but she spun her own staff, smacking Psi in the side of the head. The meta dropped to the ground, wincing and reaching up to her head.

The prisoner focused on Livewire next, but before she could hit her, Sara got in front of her, blocking her staff with her own. Thea scrambled to her feet, drawing her sword and running behind her. Imra watched them duel, then turned and headed over to Psi, crouching in front of her. "Are you OK?" she asked. "It's OK."

Psi lowered her hand from her head, then reached out and grabbed Imra by the shoulder. She gasped, eyes wide, mouth agape, as Psi used her powers on her, glaring at her. "Imra!" Kara shouted.

Sara ducked under a staff swing, revealing Laurel behind her, and the meta screamed at the prisoner, blasting her away. While she was disoriented, the snarl of a lion was heard, and Amaya pounced on the prisoner, overpowering her and dropping her to her knees. As she struggled to stand, Livewire threw two lassos of electricity at her, wrapping her up and shocking her.

Kara ran over to Imra, whose hands were clutching her hair. "Imra?" she dropped down by her, taking her by the shoulders. "Imra?" She was shaking badly, but she slowly released her hair, taking deep breaths. "You're OK," Kara rubbed her shoulders comfortingly. "You're OK. It's gonna be OK."

Zari watched Imra try and get her breath back, then scowled at Psi. "What the hell was that?"

"More like why did you do that to her?" Laurel narrowed her eyes.

Psi just held her head, grimacing in pain.

"Good job," William smiled, dropping the card he held.

"Thanks," Ruby beamed, then turned to Alex. "Your turn."

Alex didn't respond. William frowned, seeing she was staring into space, then waved his hand in front of her face. "Aunt Alex?"

She blinked, then focused on William. "Oh."

"Are you OK?" he frowned, concerned.

"Yeah," Alex nodded. "I'm fine."

William and Ruby exchanged looks that clearly said they didn't believe her. "Maggie?" Ruby guessed. "From the text before? She's your girlfriend, right?"

"Fiancée," Alex nodded, then winced. "Ex. Ex-fiancée." She took a deep breath. "I wasn't expecting to hear from her. It's been a while since we broke up."

"Does she wanna see you?" William frowned.

"No," Alex shook her head. "She thinks that she left her passport here, I guess, and was asking I could please mail it to her."

William snorted, glaring down at Alex's phone. "Thanks, Maggie."

"Do you know where it is?" Ruby asked.

"Honestly?" Alex tilted her head back and forth, then pointed. "The only place I can think of is maybe in that top drawer."

Ruby nodded, climbing off the couch and walking over to check. She opened the drawer, peering inside, then held it up. "Here it is," she said, flipping it open to check it was hers. "Wow," she blinked. "She traveled a lot."

"Yeah," Alex nodded, taking the passport when Ruby handed it to her. "We had a lot of plans."

William moved the game aside so he could sit on the table, looking at the pages upside down, then looked up at Alex. "Are you really OK?"

Alex opened her mouth to answer, shut it, then opened it again. "You know, I really thought I was moving on. But I still feel so sad." Ruby gave her a sad look, then offered her hand. Alex smiled fondly, taking her hand, and William crowded in on Alex's other side, between her crutches and her. Alex smiled, leaning her head on top of William's as he leaned against her. "It's like . . . this is my life now, and I can't do anything about it."

"I'm sorry," William murmured.

"It's not your fault, William," Alex shook her head.

Ruby squeezed Alex's hand, smiling sadly. "I know what you mean."

"Oh, yeah?" Alex raised an eyebrow, looking at her.

Ruby nodded. "There's this girl at my school, Erika Morrison, and I didn't let her copy my homework, and she got upset and started texting and posting things about me."

"What?" William shot upright, frowning.

Alex frowned, too. "Can you show me?"

Ruby chewed her lip, then nodded. "Yeah."

She reached over to the table and picked up her phone, unlocking it and pulling up her texts. "Erika Morrison," Alex scoffed, taking the phone. "What does she know?"

However, as she started scrolling through, she got a dark look on her face that made William pause. "Aunt Alex?" he asked cautiously.

"Who died and made this girl queen?" Alex seethed, then scoffed and shook her head. "Uh uh. No." She put Ruby's phone down, then reached past William. "Come on."

Ruby blinked as William jumped up. "What are we doing?" she asked, confused.

"Oh, this we can do something about," Alex pointed at her phone, grinning viciously.

***

Psi grabbed Kara's hand, stopping her from locking the psychic dampener back around her head. "Is that really necessary?" she glared.

"Look, either we can't trust you, or you lost control of your powers," Kara told her. "Bottom line, you're unsafe."

Psi scowled, then released her. Kara put the key in the lock, and Psi groaned as the lights turned on, activating the dampener. "So you dragged me all the way up to space for nothing."

"Maybe you shouldn't have been so loosey-goosey with your powers on poor Matilda over there," Livewire sneered.

Kara sighed, walking over to where Imra was sitting between Laurel and Amaya. "You're sure you're OK?" she asked.

"Yeah," Imra nodded, giving her a small smile.

"I know what it feels like when she gets in your head," Kara assured her. "If you need a minute or two – "

"I'm fine," Imra shook her head.

"It was an accident!" Psi snapped.

"Didn't look that way to me," Livewire huffed.

"Do you wanna try this thing on, see what it feels like to have your powers taken away?" Psi narrowed her eyes.

"Get that thing near me and I'm gonna fry you," Livewire held up her hand, electricity crackling along her fingers.

Psi leaned closer, then steel flashed, and both made noises of pain when Sara's batons hit them each on the back of the head. "No one is getting fried, and no one is getting hurt," she glared between them, turning around and walking back over to Kara. "We still have a job to do."

***

The prisoner was thrashing about as Kara led the women to where she was held in restraints. "We're looking for Jindah Kol Rozz," Kara told her. "She has information we need."

"You're a bunch of fools," the prisoner spat.

"She's not wrong," Livewire remarked.

"You're not helping, sweetheart," Laurel glared at her.

"Xitheria," the prisoner told them.

"Never heard of her," Thea shook her head. "Who's that?"

"The last one who ever went to try and find Jindah," the prisoner answered. "Xitheria was a brutal criminal, but she had softened. She wanted Jindah to join us. We never did see her again, but we heard her screams."

"OK, OK, you tried the scare us away approach," Zari clapped sarcastically. "You gonna tell us where she is?"

The prisoner snorted. "You wanna risk your life? You be my guest. Jindah is in the Dendara Corridor, beyond the dark fog. Good luck."

Zari smirked, about to say something snarky back, when turbulence hit the ship again. All of them stumbled backwards, the prisoner seething in her restraints, and Imra ran back towards the bridge. "Imra?" Querl said. "We have a small emergency here."

"Brainy?" Imra called. "Are you there?"

His voice was staticky when he answered. "A solar flare has critically – "

Kara froze when they heard nothing else. "Did we lose him?"

"That's not good," Thea ran to join them.

"No, it's not," Imra shook her head, tapping on the console. "Communication with the D.E.O. was reliant on our orbital path."

"He said something about a solar flare," Amaya told her.

Turbulence hit again, this time even harder. "You have got to be kidding me!" Psi groaned.

"Fort Rozz has been hit by a solar flare," Imra swallowed. "It's been knocked out of orbit, and it's pulling us with it."

"Pulling us?" Laurel repeated.

"Pulling us where?" Kara demanded.

Imra gulped, turning and pointing out the windows, towards the blue star which was growing larger and larger. "We're falling into the star."

Zari ran around the console to help as Imra came back, an automated voice announcing "Vessel temperature rising." "You don't say?" Sara scowled.

"I hate space," Livewire decided.

"We need to get out of here," Psi insisted. "Detach from this monstrosity of a prison, and let's go back to Earth."

Zari shook her head, pointing to a reading on the console. "The docking port's jammed."

"So how long before we meet our fiery maker?" Livewire raised an eyebrow.

Imra shook her head, trying to think. "One hour, maybe two?"

"So we have time," Kara took a deep breath. "We still have a job to do, so let's find Jindah. Imra, you stay here and re-establish communications with the D.E.O."

"I can stay and help," Zari volunteered, though she looked nervous when she said it. "I've been helping Jax with the Waverider, and I'm good with tech."

"Are you sure, Zari?" Sara asked in concern, putting a hand on her arm.

Zari looked pale, but she took a deep breath and nodded. "I'm sure."

"OK," Sara nodded, patting her arm. "You've got this. You're a badass, remember?"

Zari smiled slightly. "Yeah, I am."

"Psi, you stay here, too," Kara ordered.

"What use am I here?" Psi protested.

"Too much could go wrong if you lose control of your powers out there, so find a way to be useful here," Kara answered, then turned to Zari and held up the key to the psychic dampener. "And if anyone attacks the ship, cut her loose."

Zari nodded, taking the key. "Copy that."

"All right," Kara turned around. "Ladies, let's go."

***

"So all communications are down?" Mon-El asked in disbelief.

"Do you have impulse satellites here?" Querl asked.

"No," Winn shook his head. "I mean, none that are gonna reach that ship."

"Perfect," Querl gritted his teeth, sitting down at a computer. "Just perfect! I'll go down in history as the 12th-level intellect who let Supergirl burn up in a blue star."

"He's also a pessimist," Malcolm pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's perfect."

"Give me my space," Querl closed his eyes, interlocking his fingers. "I need to think."

"Listen," Winn leaned forward. "Listen to me, what if we just try and reroute – "

"No!" Querl shook his head, shouting loudly. "Space!"

Winn jerked backwards, giving Malcolm a weird look. The assassin just shook his head, and Mon-El put an arm around Winn's shoulders, guiding him away. "When he gets like that, it's best to just let him do his thing," he patted his shoulder.

"You're remarkably calm, kid," Slade raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm not," Oliver shook his head, snorting. "I'm just more used to Kara's life or death situations being more extreme than mine usually are."

"Did anyone tell the Legends about this?" Malcolm asked.

"I'll let them know," Winn pulled out his phone. "Who knows? Maybe one of them working on the Waverider could help with getting communications back."

***

"We should be close to the Dendara Corridor according to the directions," Kara announced, rejoining the five others.

"Glad one of us was listening," Livewire griped. "So, what's the deal with that beautiful girl? I mean, does everyone in the future look like that?"

"Clarify which beautiful girl," Sara smirked. "Both of them are from the future."

"The one with a planet on her belt."

"She's my ex-boyfriend's wife," Kara answered.

Livewire's eyes widened, and she burst out laughing. "Ohhhhhh snap! Wait, Cosplay's your ex-boyfriend?"

"Cosplay," Laurel tilted her head back and forth. "I may use that."

"Feel free," Livewire cackled. "That's some Real Housewives drama right there. So, do you hate her with every fiber of your being?"

"No!" Kara shook her head. "It's not her fault. It's nobody's fault."

The fort rocked again, and Thea yelped as she hit her head on one of the cell doors. "OK, I agree with the living taser. I hate space."

"Hey!" Livewire glared at her, then looked at Kara. "Are we sure the Real Hosewife's gonna be able to figure out – "

"Just focus on the mission, OK?" Kara snapped.

"Fine," Livewire huffed, continuing on ahead of everyone else. Kara ran to catch up with her, leaving the Earth-1 heroes behind them slightly. "So this Reign character, we're getting information so we can kill her?"

"No," Kara shook her head. "Of course not. The Priestess will have information that I could use to get through to her."

"What?" Livewire asked incredulously. "Come on! You and your Pollyanna BS. You think you're gonna get through to Reign?"

"I got through to you," Kara gestured to her. "There must be something good in you that I could trust to come with me."

"And yet you've got a whole other team you brought, too," Livewire pointed out the heroes behind them, stopping in front of her. "Look, I came with you because there is a maniac on the loose, and I wanna take her down. If you think I wouldn't fry you right now – "

"So do it," Kara challenged.

Livewire blinked, not expecting that, but Kara raised an eyebrow, waiting. Livewire clenched her jaw, sighing. "All I'm saying is somebody as evil as Reign deserves to die."

"And anyone else who thinks otherwise is just a sucker?" Kara scoffed.

"Now you're catching on," Livewire nodded.

"Guys," Amaya called, making them turn. "There's the fog."

"Creepy, dark, ominous fog," Thea nodded, chewing her lip. "Why couldn't it have been something other than that?"

"Because it's boring otherwise," Sara answered, clenching her staff with both hands.

Kara took a deep breath, walking forward, Livewire on one side, Sara on the other. A few steps in, and Kara shivered. "Is it colder in here?"

Amaya started to answer when she heard a hissing noise behind her. She turned around, reaching instinctively for her totem, but frowned when she didn't see anything. "Amaya?" Thea asked.

"I'm fine," she took a deep breath, turning around.

"OK," Thea nodded, turning to head on as well, only to jump when a dark face came out of the fog.

***

Sara turned to look behind her, then narrowed her eyes. "Where'd they go?"

"What?" Kara turned to look, too.

"Oh, great," Livewire rolled her eyes, scoffing and turning, walking on. "Dr. Dolittle and Merida ran off together."

"We'll find them," Laurel told Kara. "Go on."

Kara nodded. "Be careful."

Sara nodded, tucking her staff under her arm, and she and Laurel headed off together. Kara watched them go, then turned to follow Livewire, just as a black-cloaked figure with a dark face appeared in front of her.

***

Livewire stopped when she didn't hear footsteps behind her, and she turned around, finding she was now alone, too. "Supergirl?" she called, trying to find her.

Something snarled, then slammed into her, knocking Livewire back into the wall behind her. Electricity sparked as she collapsed, and Livewire grunted as she hit the ground. When she looked up, more of those weird figures were running towards her.

Livewire narrowed her eyes, then heard cracking behind her. She scrambled to grab onto something to hang on, but the wall collapsed behind her, sending her and those creatures out. She thrashed in space before closing her eyes, turning herself into electricity, heading back to the fort.

She materialized back in the fort, panting heavily, and as the electricity died down, she called again. "Supergirl!"

***

"Kara Zor-El . . . "

Kara blinked her heavy eyes open, frowning in confusion. Where was that coming from?

"Kara Zor-El . . . "

Kara blinked rapidly, shooting upright, surprised she was on the floor. She looked around, trying to find a familiar face. "Livewire?" she called. "Leslie?" She turned around as she stood up. "Sara?" she tried. "Laurel?"

"Kara Zor-El . . . "

***

The sound of a breach opening made Querl jump in his seat, and Oliver sighed in relief, turning around. "Oh, thank God."

"What happened?" Ray demanded as he ran out, followed immediately by Jax and Lily.

"A solar flare hit Fort Rozz, knocking it off course, and now it's heading for a blue star to crash and burn – quite literally – and we've lost communication with the Legion cruiser to try and help them," Slade answered.

"With everyone still onboard?" Nate blanched, he and Mick rounding out the group.

"Uh huh," Oliver nodded, grimacing.

"Can I?" Ray pointed to a free computer.

"Please," Winn nodded.

"OK," Ray sat down as Jax and Lily pulled up chairs behind him. "Well, we've done some pretty crazy stuff with the Waverider, so hopefully we'll come up with something."

"Is that blue thing really poisonous to men?" Mick frowned, looking at the diagram of the star still on the screen.

"Unfortunately," Mon-El confirmed. "Why?"

Mick shrugged. "Just thinking of a few people we could throw its way."

Jax snorted. "Man, don't tempt Sara with that."

***

Alex knocked on the door in front of her, keeping a calm face out front, while inside, she was still fuming. When a blonde girl opened the door, she put her hands on her hips, looking at her. "Are you Erika Morrison?"

"Yeah," she answered in a careless tone.

"Special Agent Danvers, FBI," Alex held up her D.E.O. cover badge. "Have you been sending harassing messages to a young woman named Ruby Arias?"

"No, I haven't," she denied.

Alex smirked, holding up her phone, showing otherwise. "We intercepted this earlier today. Did you know the FBI monitors cyberbullying? I have twenty-three separate incidents of harassment catalogued here."

"But I didn't mean it," Erika stammered.

"You violated three criminal statutes," Alex continued as if she hadn't spoken. "Do you know what that means?" Erika shook her head numbly. "That means you could go to juvie."

"I don't want to go to juvie!" Erika blurted.

"Well, you should've thought about that before you broke the law," Alex countered.

"I'll never do it again," Erika shook her head violently. "I promise!"

Alex shook her head, clicking her tongue. "I don't know . . . I think I should probably still talk to your parents about this."

"No, please don't tell my mom!" Erika blocked her, shaking her head. "She'll kill me!"

Alex arched an eyebrow coldly. "OK. You will apologize to Miss Arias, and if I ever hear another incident of bullying from you ever again, you will have the federal government to deal with."

If she hadn't been a highly trained federal agent, she wouldn't have heard the muffled giggles coming from the side of the house. "You won't," Erika shook her head, not hearing them. "I swear."

"Have a nice day," Alex smiled coldly, then waved as Erika shut the door. "Go ahead, close the door."

As soon as it was closed, Alex turned and raised an eyebrow as William and Ruby bounded out from where they'd been hiding. "That was awesome!" Ruby grinned widely.

"Right?" Alex grinned back. "Give me the crutches."

"OK," William handed them over.

"OK, so there's a girl who lives three houses down, she shoved me in kindergarten," Ruby began.

"Don't push it," Alex shook her head, William and Ruby following her down the driveway.

William hung back slightly, and Ruby grinned at him. "Did you get it?"

William grinned back, holding up his recording of Alex chewing Erika out, even if Erika wasn't in the shot. "I got it."

Ruby squealed, jumping up and down, and William nodded eagerly, both of them running to catch up with Alex.

***

Ruby and William are adorable together. Expect lots more interaction in the later part of the Supergirl season!

One more part to go, which I'm hoping to finish today or tomorrow.
