[ Looking back, there's no way she would've seen him in the church. Kara had been reeling from the attack, holding Alice close, wondering if Luther made it out alive. Her sole focus had been Alice's safety. She'd even told Markus as much. And after that, she'd kept going until they were on Canadian soil.
