They all watch anxiously as the next video turns on.

"So you're a reporter?" Samantha asked as Kara led her and William to her part of CatCo.

"Oh you are?" Iris said.

"That's me," Kara nodded, laughing as she sat down at her desk, patting the chair next to it for William to hop into. "I'm actually the Supergirl correspondent."

"That is really funny," Iris said laughing.

"How would that work?" Cecille asked.

"Well it's weird," Kara said.

"You're kidding," Samantha grinned at her.

"I know!" Kara chortled as she booted up her computer. "But it's what my boss is happy with, so it's what I do."

"Is it difficult?" William asked as he went through his backpack. "Doing articles about Supergirl?"

"It's definitely weird," Kara admitted, clicking through emails as Samantha sat on the other side of her. "But at least I know my articles are credible."

"Credibility is good," Iris said.

"Even if Snapper is constantly on your case about getting a source other than National City's hero," Cat said dryly as she walked up.

"She must be important because she keeps showing up," Cisco said.

"Miss Grant!" Kara jumped, startled, hastily getting to her feet. "Hi!"

"Kiera," Cat nodded to her before looking from Samantha to William. "I wasn't aware you were having guests with you this morning."

"Ah, we came for a surprise visit," Samantha smiled nervously, looking at Kara. At least it was kind of the truth. Neither Kara nor Oliver had been expecting her and William to come.

"Miss Grant, this is Samantha Clayton and her son William," Kara introduced them, desperately hoping Cat wasn't going to pry. "Samantha, William, this is Cat Grant, the CEO of CatCo."

"Hello," William said politely, not sure how much he should say after that.

"Hello was fine," Kara assured him.

"It's nice to meet you," Samantha shook Cat's hand.

"Considering the both of you look like fish out of water, I assume it's your first time in National City?" Cat raised an eyebrow.

"Uh oh we don't have a cover do we," Oliver said.

Kara flinched, absently scratching the back of her head. "Uh, yes,"

Samantha looked at Kara worriedly. She had heard before that Oliver and his team didn't exist on this Earth, so did that mean – ?

"They're from Star City," Kara told Cat, nodding at Samantha.

"Well that's good that star city exists there, you guys have a cover," Thea said.

The woman relaxed slightly. OK, so at least the city still existed. That was good to know. "We thought we'd surprise Kara with a visit," she told Cat with a smile.

"Good," Cat nodded, surprising Kara. Her next words, however, made her barely refrain from rolling her eyes. "With all the moping she's been doing, you would think she had been turned into a puppy who lost their mother."

"Ha ha, see everyone agrees with me about you being a puppy," Sara said triumphantly.

"Thanks, Miss Grant," Kara smiled despite herself.

"However, you have been improving slightly since you were rescued," Cat tilted her head. "My, my, Kiera . . . did Mr. Merlyn have anything to do with that?"

"Oh no, that would never happen," Malcolm said blanching.

"Kara and Malcolm?" William's eyes widened. "Really, Mom?"

"No, William, I don't think that's the kind of relationship they have," Samantha shook her head, only to blanch. "Oh, that might have come out wrong."

"Yeah it did, but don't worry I say that kind of stuff all the time, no one minds," Felicity says reassuringly.

"No, Malcolm and I are not together," Kara quickly assured her. "He's more like a protective older brother, though."

"Yeah, I am," Malcolm said.

"The way he and Slade act sometimes," Samantha rolled her eyes. "It's like supervising children."

"Oh they are definitely children," Laurel says while Malcolm pouts at her.

"You know it's true," Laurel whispers to him.

"Some other friends of Samantha's came with her from Star City," Kara told Cat, watching as the mail carrier came around.

"I don't recognize that mail carrier," James says.

"That's not good," Roy said.

"Let's just say . . . several of them are rooting for me and someone else."

"That's an understatement," Samantha smirked. "Did you know there are bets going on?"

"Snitch!" Thea yells.

"In my defence, you should not be betting on them," Samantha said smirking.

Kara gawked at her, stunned. "You're kidding."

"I kid you not," Samantha shook her head, laughing as Kara shook her head, taking a manila envelope from the carrier. "I think I heard something about Quentin winning?"

"Wow I agree with Thea, snitch," Alex said.

Cat, meanwhile, was frowning. "Are you new?" she asked suddenly.

She said it just as Kara ripped the envelope open. A cloud of green dust blew out, and Kara immediately started choking, grabbing for her throat, her skin draining of color.

"Kara!" William cried.

"Oh my god," Thea said.

"I can't believe they did that in front of William," Samantha said.

"Why don't we move around a bit, I kind of want to sit next to Ruby anyway," Sam said.

They nodded and Felicity moved to where Sam was, Sam moved next to Samantha and William moved to the other side of his mom so Sam could sit next to Ruby.

And the carrier suddenly lunged forward and buried a glowing green blade in Kara's chest. Kara let out a strangled cry, grabbing for the "carrier's" wrists, Cat calling out her name as William screamed, terrified.

"That must be terrifying," Thea said.

"Night night," the Cadmus assassin grinned at her, all of the CatCo employees in the area on their feet, some unable to move, some lunging for cameras.

"Please," Kara could only mouth, already starting to sink her knees.

Oliver growled a bit and put his arm around Kara.

Then a blue-grey breach snapped into existence, and out through it came streaks of dark yellow lightning.

"Oh, good you're there, thank you," Alex sighed.

Kara mouthed 'thank you' to Cisco and Wally, and they both nodded.

The Cadmus agent was literally thrown across the room, and a young black man in a yellow and red suit that hid his face skidded to a halt, staring down at Kara with an expression of utmost horror, a lightning bolt emblazed on his chest.

"Oh, my God," he stammered.

"Everyone's thoughts," Winn said.

Next through the breach came a man in dark red and black, gold accents on his suit, eyes shrouded by goggles with a blue tint.

"Get her out of here, now!" he shouted. "Go!"

The same lightning crackled in the man's eyes, and he carefully lifted Kara up and took off, papers spinning in tornadoes as he left.

"Oh my god, that's so annoying, when the papers fly everywhere," Caitlyn said exasperated.

The other man, who Samantha finally recognized was the meta who had transported them to Earth-38 in the first place, hurried over to Kara's desk, carefully picking up the envelope that had the Kryptonite dust in it and placing it in his jacket.

"What happened?" Cisco asked, looking from Samantha to William, to Cat who was still staring after where the speedster had gone.

"Uh, that guy, he just handed her the envelope and waited for her to open it," Samantha gulped, one hand over her mouth, tears in her eyes. "When she did, she must have inhaled some of the dust, and then – and then – " She choked out a sob, William running to hug her, tears of his own already going down his face.

"They just tried to murder her in her own office," Cat said with barely held back disgust, making the three from Earth-1 look at her. "Where she should be safe."

"Aw she does care about me," Kara said touched.

"I like her," Thea said.

"Well she can be nice," Kara said.

"She wasn't nice to me," Barry said pouting.

"She usually isn't nice though, so maybe that's why she didn't like you," Kara said.

"Where did he take her?" William asked.

Cisco seemed to collect himself. "I'll get you there."

"If I see one video or photograph leaked, everyone is fired!" Cat shouted at the employees, all of whom were in a sudden hurry on their phones.

"Yeah, she would do that, believe it or not," Kara said.

Cisco swallowed, then opened up another breach. "Go!"

William scurried through, Samantha and Cat running after him. Cisco took one last look around the office, staring down at the blood pool on Kara's desk before curling his lip, hauling the Cadmus assassin up, and throwing him through the breach, jumping in after him.

"Come on, come on, come on," Felicity hissed to herself as she dialed on her phone, Winn's fingers moving a mile a minute as he typed on his tablet. "Come on!"

They were interrupted by the sudden gust of wind blowing through the D.E.O. Winn hurried to grab papers that were blowing –

"Oh yeah that happened, a lot, in star labs until I got paperweights," Caitlyn said.

Thea screamed. It was enough to make him abandon everything and look up.

"Oh god, how bad is it if I screamed that loud," Thea said.

"Well you are naturally loud," Roy said smirking as Thea hit him on the shoulder.

"Oh, God!" he clapped a hand over his mouth to avoid retching.

"Yeah, that's what everyone was thinking," Sara said looking a bit green.

"Wally!" J'onn immediately ran over to the speedster covered in blood, Kara absolutely drenched in it.

"Where's medical?" the speedster, named Wally, asked in a panicked voice.

"There!" Rene pointed.

Wally was there in a second, laying Kara down on one of the beds.

"Oh, no," Quentin closed his eyes, seeing the jagged green blade still in Kara's stomach.

"That needs to go," Nyssa narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, it does," Alex growled.

"Kara!" Alex's voice suddenly shrieked, and everyone scattered as Alex barged in, rushing to her sister's side, shaking all over. "No!"

"When did this happen?" Malcolm demanded, Oliver and Laurel halting in their tracks, eyes wide in shock.

"Literally just a few minutes ago," Curtis swallowed. "Felicity got a call from Cisco, and then the next thing we knew – "

The crackling of a breach opening made most people turn, and William stumbled out.

"William!" Oliver ran over.

"Where is she?" William asked frantically, trying to see past his father. "Is she alive?"

"Yes, please be okay," Thea said.

"William," Oliver swallowed. "It's bad. Listen – "

"Miss Grant?" James stared in surprise.

Oliver blinked, looking up when Samantha tripped out, followed by an older blonde woman.

"Kara's boss?" Dig blinked in surprise.

"We couldn't stop her if we tried," Samantha said apologetically.

"Yeah, no one can stop ," Winn said.

"Where is she?" Cat demanded as she stormed forward.

"Miss Grant," J'onn began.

"One of my best reporters, my former personal assistant, was stabbed right in front of me, and yes, I know who she is," Cat snapped angrily. "So don't tell me I can't see her!"

"Wait what! Miss Grant know I'm Supergirl, I thought I fixed that," Kara freaked out.

"Hey, she doesn't seem like the type to tell anyone, because if she was going to tell anyone she would have done it by now right," Oliver said reassuringly.

"Right," Kara said.

"Hey, she called you one of her best reporters so there's that," Alex said.

"Oh yeah she did, yay," Kara said.

Samantha yelped suddenly, and everyone turned to see a man get tossed headfirst through the breach, landing with a crunch on the D.E.O. floor. Cisco was out last, and with a curl of his lips, he used his powers to throw the man to Oliver's feet. "Got a gift for you."

Oliver's eyes narrowed to slits. "Slade. Malcolm. Put him with the other one."

One look at the Star City vigilante's face, and both men didn't argue. They just roughly handled the limp assassin out of the area.

"You called Felicity?" he asked Cisco sharply.

"I vibed Kara being killed," he nodded, taking off his goggles. "I didn't know if you would have time to get there or not, and when it sounded like none of them would, I sent Wally through."

"It's a good thing you did," Thea said.

Oliver closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose, listening to monitors wail and Alex's sharp orders as D.E.O. doctors ran about trying to save Kara.

"Thank you," he finally said.

"No problem, man," Cisco shook his head at once. "J'onn!" he called, and the Martian started, looking over. "Got two others waiting to come through, if you don't mind?"

"I doubt I could stop them," J'onn said dryly.

"The more support for Kara, the better," Maggie nodded, and Cisco nodded back, jumping through another breach.

"Yeah, she's right," Sara said.

An inhuman scream suddenly came from the medbay, making everyone spin around.

"Oh, it's me that's screaming," Kara said.

"Oliver!" Alex shouted.

He immediately pushed through the small crowd in front of the medbay to get to Alex's side.

"Kara?" his eyes widened, seeing she was wide awake.

"Oliver," she choked, blood coating her lips as she tried to draw in air to breathe.

"I'm here," he promised, brushing her hair away from her face. "I'm here." He glared at the glowing green blade that seemed to be taunting them. "When can we get that out of her?"

"Ugh, I hate that stupid rock," Felicity said.

"That's what I need you here for," Alex admitted. "It's going to hurt like hell, but the sooner it's out, the sooner we get the sun lamps on her."

"And the sooner she heals," Oliver nodded, wincing. "Do it."

Alex nodded, pulling on a pair of gloves. "Got it." She chewed her lip. "Can someone help me with the vitals?" she turned and asked, just as Cisco's breach opened again.

It wasn't Cisco who came out first. It was Iris West, a squeak coming from her mouth when she saw the amount of blood already starting to stain Oliver's hands, Kara's clothes so drenched they were dripping onto the floor. "Oh, no!"

The man who came out with her, clad in black with glasses, was not so frozen. "What's normal for her?" he asked, pushing through the others.

"Basically, I have the same vitals as humans, right Alex," Kara asked.

"Right," Alex said.

"Just let me know if anything spikes or drops dramatically," Alex answered, and he nodded, standing by the computers behind her. "Mags, I need the rest."

"H.R.?" J'onn asked in surprise as Maggie moved around, gathering supplies to help clean Kara up after Alex was done.

"Nope," Iris said looking down.

"Not quite," the man shook his head.

"Meet Harry, the Harrison Wells of Earth-2," Iris told J'onn before seeming to realize who was practically right next to her. "Black Siren?!"

"Well there's a problem," black siren said.

"Who?" Harry's head shot up.

"Still don't like you," black siren said smirking.

"Save her first!" Laurel snapped, pointing at Kara, who was whimpering as Alex started cutting away her shirt to get to the blade easier.

"You're gonna be OK," Oliver assured Kara, swallowing when he saw just how gruesome the stab was. Oh, he was going to butcher that assassin when he got the chance.

"Please do," Alex said.

"Hurts," Kara whimpered.

"Ugh, they're horrible," Clark said.

"I know, Kara, I know."

"OK," Alex took a deep breath, grasping the handle of the knife with one hand. "Three, two – "

Oliver felt Kara tense in preparation for the end of the countdown, but Alex pulled the blade out on two.

"Alex, that's cold," Kara said.

"Yeah, but it's better that way," Alex said.

She screamed in pain, sounding as if it was ripped from her. One of her hands immediately flew towards the wound now gushing blood, the other scrambling to find something to hold on. Without thinking, Oliver grabbed hers with his. He did cringe at how tight she held on, but it was nowhere near as bad as it could have been.

"Yeah, that could be way worse than it looks," Kara said.

Then again, he did have the Kryptonite to blame for that. "Get that thing out of here!" he nodded at the blade.

Wally snatched it from Alex and sped away, Maggie running forward with a few towels.

"That's pretty convenient actually," Alex said.

"What is?" Barry asked.

"Being able to speed that away really fast," Alex answered.

"Stem it as much as you can," Alex ordered, and Maggie nodded, leaning forward to help. "Get those sun lamps up!"

Winn, Felicity, and Curtis all ran in to help set them up, just as Slade and Malcolm hurried back in.

"What did happen to the other guy?" Dinah suddenly asked.

"You don't want to know," Malcolm said grimly.

"Oh yeah you definitely don't want to know what happened to him," Oliver said.

"How is she?" Slade asked.

"They got the blade out,"

"Thank God," Alex muttered.

Dinah answered, clenching one fist as she watched the sun lamps start to power on, Alex and Maggie catching as much blood from Kara as they could, Oliver trying to comfort Kara as much as he could.

"Knowing she was hurt is one thing . . . but to see her bleed that much . . . "

"Is horrible," Oliver said scowling.

"This was scarier than when we found her at Cadmus," Laurel admitted.

That gained Iris's attention. "You guys got her from whoever did this to her?" she asked.

"Me, Slade, Malcolm, and Oliver," Laurel confirmed. "And . . . " She closed her eyes. "Well. They certainly had enough Kryptonite to torture her with."

"Needless to say, we blew up what we could," Malcom smirked darkly.

"I cannot believe I'm having a halfway decent conversation with supervillains," Iris mumbled faintly, turning back around.

"That's fair," black siren said.

Laurel raised an eyebrow. "Not too bad, is it?"

"Yeah, not half as bad as I thought it would be," Iris said.

Before Iris could answer, there was a nervous "Kara?" from Alex.

"No, no, don't," Oliver shook his head when everyone started to worry the moment they saw Kara's eyes were closed. "She's just exhausted, and in pain."

Alex slumped, leaning on the bed. "Relax, Danvers," Maggie rubbed her back. "I can bandage her up."

"Let me help," Nyssa offered.

"Alex, come on," Oliver reluctantly stepped away from Kara.

As if on automatic, Alex shuffled after him, Nyssa stepping up to help Maggie.

"How bad is it?" Quentin finally asked.

"You probably don't want to know," Thea said.

"I don't know how long it'll be until she gets her powers back," Alex admitted as Harry joined them. "That blade was in deep, and she lost a ton of blood."

"She inhaled this," Cisco pulled an envelope from his jacket, handing it over.

Alex opened it and peered inside. As soon as she saw the green dust in the bottom, she closed her eyes. "They ground up Kryptonite?"

"Mmm I hate them," Alex said.

"Really, hadn't heard," Oliver said sarcastically.

"I know it just feels good to say it out loud," Alex said.

"Never mind monsters," Slade shook his head. "They're idiots."

"Understatement of the year," Oliver said.

"She'll be in hysterics when she wakes up," Oliver warned.

"Well that'll suck," Thea said.

"She'll want you there when she does," Alex added.

"Aw-," Thea started before she was interrupted.

"Not the time Thea," Oliver interrupted her.

"Yeah you're right this seems like a pretty serious situation," Thea said.

"I know." When everyone gave him varying looks of curiosity, he sighed. "Kara told me what happened to her," he admitted. "And none of it is good."

"How bad?" Dinah whispered, Samantha and Cat bracing themselves.

"It got to the point where the point of making her bleed was to see what made her bleed most," Oliver said bluntly.

"Oliver, work on your bluntness," Thea said.

"No," he said bluntly.

She just sighed and shook her head.

Iris narrowed her eyes, her temper rising to the surface. She'd never met Cadmus, but she'd heard a bit about them when she'd last seen Kara. They hadn't been a group Iris liked, and this took the cake. What she was most surprised at, however, were the growls coming from not only J'onn and
Dig, but also from Malcolm and Slade.

"Oh, they're probably going to slaughter cadmus," Oliver said.

"That's it," Laurel threw her hands up, clenching her jaw as she started to pace restlessly. "I need to punch something before I go find them and bring their roofs down on their heads."

"Can't you do both," Oliver said.

"Yeah, I can and probably will I'm not sure," black siren said.

"And you trust her?" Harry asked Oliver with a raised eyebrow.

"Rude, I'm obviously saying that stuff because I care, god, you knock like 20 buildings down and suddenly no one trusts you, god, grow up," black siren said, while people just stared at her, not sure if she was kidding or not.

"Are you kidding me right now, no way you're being serious right," dark archer whispered to black siren.

"Of course I'm kidding but I like to freak them out," black siren whispers to him.

Oliver raised an eyebrow back. "She owes Kara. And considering none of us are dead after three months of her being in Star City following Lian Yu, I'm trusting her."

"So either you deal with me being here, or you head back to Earth-1," Laurel glared at Harry.

"I'm not leaving."

"Actually, that was the plan."

"What?" Felicity blinked.

"Joe and Julian are back in Central City covering for us right now," Cisco explained. "I had no idea what exactly happened to Kara, so I asked Harry to come along just in case his help was needed. He and Wally are going back. Iris and I are staying."

"Thank you so much," Kara said.

Alex opened her mouth to say something, but Cisco shook his head. "We're doing this for Barry, and because we want to."

She swallowed, barely holding back tears. "Thank you."

"Of course," Iris nodded, smiling through tears. "She was like a sister to him. That makes her family to us, too."

"Yeah, she's right," Barry says as everyone nods their heads in agreement.

Alex smiled back through tears. "I never knew Barry, but . . . if it's worth anything, I'm sorry."

"Well, I know who definitely is sorry," Malcolm gave Oliver a knowing look. "Or soon will be."

Oliver's eyes darkened. "I won't need you this time."

"Uh oh," Sara said.

"Didn't expect you would, kid," Slade nodded.

"What's he doing?" Cat whispered to James.

"You really don't want to know," James grimaced. "Trust me, you don't."

"It's true, I don't even want to know," Sara said.

"If she shows even a single sign of starting to wake up, say something to pull me out of there," Oliver ordered, taking off his jacket and throwing it on his bag.

"Say what?" Thea called after him.

"The same thing I said to call her to the monastery," Oliver shouted back.

"Aw that's cute," Thea whispered to Alex who looked at her like she was crazy.

"That's a code word to make sure he stops torturing someone," Alex whispered to her.

"I know but it's just so cute," Thea whispered.

"What was that?" Curtis looked around.

"El mayarah," Rene recalled.

Alex let out a small laugh at that. "Stronger together."

"OK, if that doesn't give him away, I don't know what will," Thea folded her arms triumphantly.

"Really," Oliver said to Thea who just shrugged.

"Are we seriously having this discussion right now?!" Winn gestured to a limp Kara.

At Team Flash's confused looks, Dig sighed. "This might take a while."

They all waited for the next video to turn on but it didn't. Then red light's and sirens came on.

"What's going on?" Sara asked worried.

Future Ruby came in and said "can you two come here," she pointed at Laurel and Malcolm who immediately got up and followed her out of the room.

"What just happened?" Sara asked as the lights and sirens turned off, but the next video didn't turn on it was just a black screen.

Zari touched her comm as she heard something on her comms and then got up and left.

"Hey what's going on," Sara asked her.

"Nothing to worry about I'll be right back, you all wait here," Zari said, looking dead serious.

AN: uh oh I don't know where I'm going with this I know the outline but I don't know how I'm going to write it, like at all. That's a problem right.
