When Lena went the next morning to L-Corp, she was met with the sight of a member of security taking posters off her building.

"What's going on?" She asked, the man straightened, she was sure he almost saluted

"Ma'am, I found this missing person posters all around" He handed her one and she looked at it. Teenager, blonde hair, last seen a day ago

"Don't take them off, leave them."

Lena walked into an alley and willed her suit into existence before flying off to the alien bar.

"Could I have a glass of scotch, please?" Lena requested as she sat on a stool

When Kara appeared, Lena slammed her hand on the bar

"Hey!"

"Hi!"

"You work here?" Lena asked, brows furrowing

"Well, they were a little short-staffed. I know a bit about alcohol. I would rather be a scientist but I would risk to blow my cover."

"Hmm..Smart choice." Lena said as she took the glass Kara poured her and took a taste, humming in approval.

"So, what are you doing?"

"I've seen missing person posters all over. I'm trying to gather more information." Lena explained

"Huh. Do you need any help?"

"No, no. If I do, I'll ask you..Thanks, though." Lena replied

"Maggie said that there were a lot of missing persons lately. See if you can find something in common between them, Winn."

"Will do!" Winn typed away at his keyboard, and it was only seconds later when he came up with a result

"Alright! So! There is a connection between these people, and that is..They all got blood work done a few days before they disappeared."

"Blood work..? That's weird."

"You would not believe the size of those mutton chops, they were-- Hey, Lena!" Kara exclaimed as she saw Lena's figure hunched over

"Hi.." Lena trailed off without looking up, but when she finally did, "Wait, what are you doing here?" They were both at CatCo, Lena going to James to find more news and cover more ground, but what was Kara doing here?

"Oh, I just took a day off."

"It's your second day." Lena deadpanned,

"Yeah, I didn't wanna overdo it." Kara replied easily.

She was infuriating! What's with her and switching personality every two seconds? First she kisses Lena, then doesn't remember. Though that isn't necessarily her fault. Then she works at a bar with the excuse of not exposing herself, which is pretty brilliant. But then she starts being lazy?!

God.

"So, lunch?" Kara smiled at her, placing her hands on hips.

"No, actually, I'm working."

"Oh, on that missing persons case. Want me to come with you?"

"Oh--You know just-- Don't really--" Lena stammered

"Oh come on, two heads are always better than one. Except on the planet barvex, because they have two headed cannibals so you--"

"Okay, okay! Just--just keep your mouth shut." Kara stepped into the elevator and placed her hands in front of her, she was quiet for a moment but just as the door was about to close she piped up
