I'm Here (Supergirl AU)

Plans

Kara just hung her head, feeling Alex poke her side. She really should've worn gloves. She had gotten so used to none of the chemicals in the DEO affecting her that she had gotten careless.

"I'm just thankful you're okay...but we will be going over lab safety again."

"Again?!" Kara grumbled but nodded.

Eliza heaved a sigh. "The tests showed the goo completely overtaking your DNA, turning you into, well, a golden retriever. Your Kryptonian DNA was absent, which I found to be shocking. However, I've been keeping an eye on some samples, and I've been able to see hints of Kryptonian. I will try sun blasting it later today and see if there are any changes. I can only assume the goo is somehow mixing with your DNA but there are still a lot of unknowns. Such as your ability to return to normal."

Eliza took a breather. "There are several ideas. It could be a waiting game, or we could find a cure, or the alien itself could change you back. We can't communicate with the alien currently, and I don't think you want to wait for too long."

Kara shook her head furiously at that.

"The alien communicates with some sort of sign language. I think if its use of appendages was anything to go by. It's not similar to any sign language on the earth from what I could tell. It looked very similar to a human, had very pale skin, almost white and its eyes would change color. It didn't have any ears or nails, so I'm assuming it did not communicate verbally hence the sign language and maybe it remains transformed most of the time. " Alex poked Kara's side. "You wouldn't happen to know an alien sign language by any chance?"

'An alien that talks with signs, very pale skin, changing eye colors...hmm, doesn't sound familiar to me at all, and I don't know that sign language. ' Kara just shook her head. She had heard about several species that communicated in such a way but had never met one personally.

"We have an NCPD detective in custody, says she knows a place where there could be someone who knows of its species. An alien hideout or something. She made a deal with me, but I can send another agent in my stead." Alex informed kara.

Eliza spoke up, "J'onn has spoken with the detective after you left. She was very adamant that she made a deal with you, and is not willing to work with anyone else." Eliza shifted a little in her seat. "She made that very clear with J'onn. You can expect a call from him later today, Alex."

"You can't be serious. I'm not leaving Kara alone with Ms. Luthor." Alex flinched as Kara nipped at her hand. "Fine, Lena." Kara let go.

"Isn't Winn with you? He could stay to watch over Kara." Eliza suggested.

Alex gave her mom a look. Kara just smiled widely at the thought of her best friend staying to hang out. She had a feeling Lena would get along with the tech genius.

"And Ms. Luthor is a very important woman. I'm sure she has her own security."

"She does. I just don't." Alex let out a frustrated sigh. "I just don't want to leave kara, okay? She doesn't have her powers."

'But I kind of do, I think.' Kara nudged Alex's hand, 'I just need to find a way to tell you.'

"I'm just letting you know. How is Ms. Luthor?" Eliza asked.

"She's super nice! She didn't even get mad at me when I chewed on her heel!" Kara barked in succession.

"She's a stubborn one. It turns out she had a concussion and didn't inform me until we finished signing the NDA's" Alex shook her head.
