3rd Person POV

Willow is sitting at the table in her apartment across from Marvin who is reading the newspaper late at night when her phone starts ringing

Willow grabs her phone and answers the number. "Hey." She greets through the phone

"Willow..." Nia says urgently through the phone and Willow stands up abruptly. Marvin immediately puts his newspaper down and watches Willow intently

"Nia?" Willow asks. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"I...." Nia chokes on her sob. "Please, I need you."

"I'm on my way." Willow says. "Text me your location." She ends the call before looking at Marvin

"I'll get my keys." Marvin says, not giving Willow time to even ask the question

"Thank you." Willow whispers her answer. And with that, the two leave the apartment quickly

As Willow and Marvin gets to Nia's apartment, police officers leave through the front door. Marvin and Willow drop their heads immediately and in sync in habit of covering their identities from others

"Nia, are you okay?" Willow questions, rushing into the apartment. Marvin walks in as well, closing the door behind him and standing with his back against the door as if to protect it

"I..." Nia whispers before launching into the story of what had happened the night before. As Nia and Willow sit on the couch, Willow could hear Nia's voice go from upset to angry. "And he was just targeting her because she was trans. He was trying to use her to get to Dreamer."

"What did he want with Dreamer?" Willow asks

"Kara asked the same question." Nia says

"You already spoke to Kara?" Willow asks

"Yes." Nia says. "She's back at CatCo right now. I told her I needed to talk to you and you two can't be in the same room..."

"Thank you for thinking about our situation." Willow says. "But we need to focus on you and Yvette right now. What did this guy want with Dreamer?"

"He wants me to stop being a superhero." Nia says. "He's going after my community to bully me into it."

"So, what's our move?" Willow asks. "What do we do? What do you want us to do?"

"I want to go after this guy." Nia says. "But we need to keep it on the DL."

"Alright." Willow says with a nod. "Let's get to work."

...at her desk in CatCo, Kara makes a phonecall...

"Kara Danvers." Brainy greets on the other side of the phone, his voice monotone. "I hope this is important, I'm very busy."

"It is." Kara says. "It's about...Dreamer."

"Yes. I just saw the coverage of her victory over the Dominator." Brainy says

"No, it's not that. She needs our help." Kara says. "There's an attacker targeting the trans community trying to get Dreamer to take her cape off."

"That's awful." Brainy says, monotone. "I mean... it is only logical that violence begets concern."

"Listen, I know this guy's human, but can you help me track him?" Kara asks

"Consider it done." Brainy says and then he ends the call

Kara pulls her phone from her ear before dialing another number into her keypad and holding the phone to her ear

"Hello?" Willow's voice asks on the other side of the phone
