Capítulo 15: Supergirl ~ Far From The Tree ~ Part One

"The loft looks great," Alex told Kara with a smile before grimacing as she looked at a poster board on the coffee table. "Now, if we could just burn then it would be perfect."
"No," Kara laughed. "Come on, it's adorable!"
"I don't know why I thought throwing a lesbian wedding shower would curb Mom's cheesy antics," Alex rolled her eyes.
"Nope," Kara giggled. "Gay, straight, whatever, Eliza will not be stopped until she digs up every bridal shower game since the beginning of time." She nodded when Alex held up a napkin advertising the shower, making a face. "You know what?" she asked, just to rub it in more. "You're gonna bridal bingo."
"Kill me now, please," Alex begged, making Kara burst out laughing. "So, are we expecting anyone from Earth-1?"
"Ah, yes, Oliver and William will definitely be here," Kara nodded. "I think all the girls are hoping to make it, and it sounds like Malcolm and Quentin might try as well. All in all, most of the gang might be here."
"That's a lot," Alex blinked. "Wow."
"Well, any distraction from that FBI investigation is welcome," Kara wrinkled her nose.
"How's that going, by the way?" Alex asked in concern.
"I want to throw her into space," Kara answered, looking up. "She had William on her list of people to interview."
Alex's jaw dropped. "You're kidding!"
"Nope," Kara shook her head. "Oliver and I are not letting that happen."
"Good," Alex nodded. "He does not deserve to be interrogated by an FBI agent."
"Absolutely not," Kara shook her head, then took a deep breath. "OK, enough about my life on Earth-1. This is about you and Maggie. This is supposed to be happy."
"Right," Alex chuckled. "Happy times."
They nodded, then Kara straightened when there was a knock at the door. "Oh, Eliza's early," she remarked, heading for the door.
"OK," Alex blew out a breath.
"Hi!" Kara began cheerfully as she opened the door, only to blink when she saw it wasn't Eliza. "Oh, J'onn! Come on in! Is everything OK?"
"Yeah, yeah," J'onn nodded, but he seemed distracted as he entered. "Everything's great. I just . . . I just needed to talk to you both." He turned to them. "I have to go away for a few days. I'm gonna need you both to manage the D.E.O. until I get back."
"Where are you going?" Kara asked in concern.
J'onn steeled himself. "Mars."
Alex's jaw dropped.
"M'gann sent me a message," J'onn nodded. "She needs my help."
"Help with what?" Kara frowned.
"Message was short, urgent," J'onn shook his head. "I tried to make contact, but I couldn't reach her, but I can sense that she's in danger."
"No, J'onn," Kara shook her head. "You're the last Green Martian. The Whites have been trying to kill your kind for Going back would be a suicide mission!"
"Look, M'gann came to our aid when we were in need," J'onn looked up at her. "I must go for M'gann."
"If you're going to Mars, then Kara is going with you," Alex stated.
Kara immediately nodded in agreement. "Yeah."
J'onn shook his head just as quickly. "I won't have you endanger your life just to fight my battles."
"Your battles my battles, J'onn," Kara fixed him with a steely look.
"I can't take you away from Alex's shower!" he protested.
"Are you kidding?" Alex scoffed. "If I thought that I could survive Mars, then I'd be right there fighting by your side."
"J'onn," Kara walked forward. "If Krypton still existed and I had to go back to where my parents were buried under rubble, I know you wouldn't let me do it alone."
J'onn sighed and nodded in acceptance, making Kara smile.

"Shouldn't we just call Winn to fire up the transmat portal?" Kara asked as she and J'onn walked down the street, Kara in her Supergirl suit.
"No, you can't transmat planet to planet without a gate on the other side," J'onn shook his head, stopping in front of a garage. "We'll have to get to Mars the old-fashioned way."
Kara raised an eyebrow when the garage door went up and the lights turned on, revealing a bright blue car with white leather seats. "It's a cool car," she remarked. "So, is this like an elevator to a secret hangar that'll take us – ?"
"No, it isn't," J'onn shook his head, opening the driver's side door.
Kara blinked. "This is your ship?"
"Yup," J'onn nodded.
" . . . we're taking to Mars?"
"Yes, we are."
"OK," Kara shrugged, opening the door to get in.
"Careful with the leather there, Supergirl," J'onn added when she went to sit.
"Sorry," she held up her hands placatingly, listening to the radio as J'onn got it working. "There's no seatbelt."
"It's from a different era," J'onn reminded her.
"And a different
J'onn raised an eyebrow at her. "I come from a race of shapeshifters, Kara. Why shouldn't our technology shapeshift, too?"
Kara thought it over, then nodded in agreement. "Fair enough."
J'onn smirked, blasting rock music from the radio as they cruised out of the garage, and Kara watched with excitement as the car shifted into a spaceship and took off for Mars.

"Eliza, the lasagna is Maggie complimented that night as she ate dinner with Alex and Eliza. "Alex and I order in so much, I forgot what real food tastes like."
"Thank you," Eliza smiled. "It is the girls' favorite. I'm just disappointed Kara couldn't be here. I know whatever she is doing with J'onn is important, but I just . . . I do worry about her."
"It'll be interesting when Oliver gets here, and you meet the boyfriend when she's not here," Alex giggled slightly.
"Oh, come on, Oliver faced down Lillian Luthor," Maggie playfully swatted Alex's shoulder. "Surely he can handle your mother."
"Who is also adoptive mother," Alex reminded her. "What's not scary about that?"
"Well, if what I've heard from you and from Clark is correct, I shouldn't have anything to worry about when I meet Oliver," Eliza smiled. "Now, this weekend is about happy matters of the heart. And I did want to make a bridal board for you, too, Maggie, but Alex said you have no childhood pictures."
