Kara shakes her head slightly, then feels the sharp needle of the Kryptonite dart impale her thigh. After Kara's fight with Reign, she is injured very badly and Mon-El sees her and Imra tells him she will be okay. She nods, shooing him away. Alex tilts her head at her sister. She grabs them both and returns to the bed, looking over the tattered cover of Romeo and Juliet. The girl turns to him, poking and prodding, asking him annoying questions to get a false reaction out of him. Kate had done some exploring by herself, and now Kara was looking for a nook of isolation. There was probably a bigger chance here. She quickly tapes the box and carries it over to the others, setting the book on the counter and opening the door. But I didnt bring any of my material with me, Kara says, trailing off toward the end of her sentence when she spots Lenas pen sitting on her desk. So its about satisfaction with you? She turns back to the alien, a smile now on her face. Lena, are you alright? She grips it tightly, stretching the fabric as she clenches her fists, then swiftly throws it in Karas face. Kara and Mon-El intercept a message about Cadmus as they fly through the city. I had promised myself after Lena and Is blowout I would never start something with anyone because I had to lie. She takes one to her wardrobe and opens the door on the right, containing all of Mon-Els sweaters and shirts. Shes using her, she knows that, and she hates that shes allowing Lena to push her around but what other choice does she have? He hardly ever heard Kara yell, and he internally flinches at her harsh tone. Afterward, he tells her that he was worried about her and that he still cares about Kara. Just not today. A helicopter emerges on the skyline, skimming over the tops of the buildings. No, Mxy answers. Why show me a fantasy?, Because you helped me, and while I was here I learned that I only made your life more challenging. Our first real connection.. She showed me my family, then took it away when she told me the truth about her. Pity. He shakes the gun, raising it again. She had been dreaming about it ever since they agreed to this date. Are you ready to talk to her?, Kara takes a deep breath in, pulling her arms away from Alexs waist and sitting up. Oh, I think youll see I have just the right amount., Will I? Alex asks, tilting her head. But at the same time, they both know the truth. Lena retracts the gun just enough for them to disappear, and Kara looks up at her confused. You flew me there., You risked everything for me. Do you remember when I perfected the formula for Kryptonite, and I brought it to the DEO because I thought it could help you fight Reign?, Kara grits her teeth, eyeing the gun. I hope you dont forget that., If you truly care about me youll tell me why you really broke up with me.. I am so glad I have you as my sister., Kara tilts her head at her, a smile crawling onto her face. Alex just glances down at her sister, gives Lena a nod, and slips out the door silently. I can tell you this. Supermans betrayal, his best friends betrayal, lead him to become a monster. The more he wants her. Alex turns the metal in her hands, looking it over. I just want to talk.As friends, she wanted to add. Tell me again why you guys decided my couch was the best place to watch the entire Harry Potter series, she retorts, applying lipstick as she glances at Alex and Kelly in her bathroom mirror. The story he wound was that he was the princes guard, fearless and loyal, and that the prince gave up his life to save him. If we have to lie, so be it. She looks up to Alex, who was already only half on-board with this plan. No, we did not break up. And maybe its because I come from a family who has done everything wrong that I feel the need to fix it. Over the bumps and through the turns, and if time stopped at that moment; if they were stuck on the repeated memory, she wouldnt mind. They arrive at the restaurant, scanning the line that snakes out the door and crowds at the front. Believe me when I say I almost killed him again. Kara hesitates, catching her words. The magic disappears and Kara brings her hand into view. Please dont say her name., Well, Im sorry, Kara, but shes his wife. With the help of a familiar face, they succeed in doing just that. Weve basically just become a filing system with a nice firing range.. Woah, there. What really happened in the Fortress?. They had an understanding of one another. Her suit lacks color and is pale, also shredded as it barely covers her. You have a wife and youre happy. Did kill her, actually, only she was brought back by the DEO just in time. Those cuffs really do work wonders, dont they? She pulls on her glove, making it tighter. Whatever it takes. Tell me about reporting. Karas face contorts into nervous disbelief. She doesnt know enough yet to make that conclusion, even if her sister made up her mind. The couple lays on the couch, Kelly between Alexs legs and leaning on her chest as the two of them are covered in blankets. Why?, I dont know. None of it was real. Her eyes shift down to her sisters attire. Kara watches her hand. Karas head snaps to the side and she spits, her lip splitting and letting a river of blood drip off her chin and onto her suit. People will understand. I cant, Alex.. Family. But as shes had to do all day, she reminds herself of what this truly is. Well, it had to come from someone. Only now do I realize how miserable you mustve been at times. He sighs, eyes closing in relief. See, before my beloved sister shot me in the chest, I revealed to her all the secret footage I found of you. So you knew? Lena swallows, nodding. That really isnt like Kara., But its not only that, Mon-El spits, trying to hurry his words. Her left leg is bent under itself, and her opposite one is shriveled from her femur sticking straight out of her thigh. Dont look at me, look at him. Because you are Alex Danvers, goddammit. Alex chuckles, letting Kara smile. I was in the army academy when I met the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with., Nowhere. They all follow the gazes trained on Kara. But we cant use Kryptonite. She needed to pause and sleep, eat something. I want to catch up. She unlocks the door, finding her apartment very different. It would make her look weak, it would make her vulnerable. He turns away and closes his eyes, letting all the air in his lungs escape and then takes a shaky breath in. Hey! Lena had been searching for the right time to tell Kara the truth. But until then, she would wait and let him sort it out for himself. And who knows what damage you did to her throat. She listens. Kara please-, Why do you have to be like him? Kara shouts, batting her hand away. Lena clicks her tongue, shaking her head. I know its not exactly home, but its-. Lena never saw her for the rest of the day. That they didnt have to do it themselves anymore, Supergirl will. She stands, now getting into her thoughts and agreeing. To protect you., God, you sound just like her. I am terrified of you, Lena. She feels the bullet crush against her stomach and she tumbles to the ground, clutching her hands to her abdomen. Karas heart breaks, worried about how he will react when she is not with him. Now it is a large dome filled with holographic images and small monitors. I came to Catco with no experience. Shes always right. Everyone does., She sighs, taking steady breaths. I feel guilty that Im not grieving for Oliver like the rest of them, but I didnt know him enough to shed any tears. Kate shakes her head, squeezing her eyes shut and then opening them again. Jonn! She shouts, trying to get a reaction. I was going to tell you once you healed, once everything was back to normal. Imra. Kara looks over at him, brow furrowed. She turns to him and holds up the firework. The city would be safe, yes. I highly recommend that you guys check out that story before you read this one! It always ended with him crushing it. That thought only lasted a second and it was gone.. Kara leans back and scrunches her eyes. She doesnt have an answer for the woman she left because of the reason she now holds in her arms. Kara changes out of her suit in front of her sister, slipping on a pair of jeans and a casual button up. The team didnt know when Kara would return to them. After being constantly abandoned, Spider is confronted with a bunch of newborn Recoms with a strong family drive. Hope didnt come from Supergirl. We had a few bumps in the road with memories but they smoothed out.. I will help you. Sorry, I thought I was alone.. However old grudges and old enemies make themselves known as Landslide must balance protecting his "family" with protecting the world. Your power scares her, and she was hesitant to let you be around her daughter. Please, Winn, answer the question., He sighs, brow still furrowed with concern. Until he didnt. Knowing that he didnt love me, or care, and still having to work with him and see his face was, Kara looks over at her, signifying she said the right word. What do you want to do today?, Can we just stay here? He pulls her even closer, now squeezing her slightly. He said that it was all her job's fault but it wasn't. So Mon-El, you can say whatever you believe about me not ruining things between you and Imra, but I am. I wonder how shes doing.. With Nia under her mentorship, that was her first lesson: create a goal she can accomplish on a day-to-day basis. He had vowed long ago that hed never lie. Well, that fact runs in the family. And that was what made Lena so afraid of her now. I was really worried about you waking up. She looks down shyly and bites her lip. You know what shes done, Alex, you said it yourself, Kara growls, her face inching closer to Lenas. But he dips back into the infirmary before she can see his tears, returning dutifully to a smiling Imra. She was focused on her friends wellbeing first, their friendship second. Kara, I know you miss Ellen, and ithas been a long time since youve seen her, but you cant go over there. He squeezes the trigger and a spray of dark-green bullets imbed into Kara. But he gave me an explanation. Youre free., Kara raises her eyebrows at him with great force. A huge grin, baring all his teeth. A small tilt of her chin and her ear would have been seared clean off. Where are you going? Alex asks, her eyes wide again. Mon-El? She asks, placing a hand on his scruffy cheek. All of these relations have two connections. The bullet fired was made from Kryptonite, its intended target Supergirl. At some point, her mind forgot about Lenas gun aimed at her head and she looked away, diving so deep into the memory she lost the severity of the situation. I dont think Ive seen you this worked up over your appearance since the first day of school, Alex calls from her living room. When things were fizzling out with us, a Kryptonian pod crash-landed on Earth. She sighs and inhales a deep breath of air, feeling the oxygen fill her indestructible lungs. She had one hand on the arm that pinned her chest, the other clawing at the heros face but leaving no marks. She couldnt do this one. Kara falters, shifting on her feet. Yeah, that. She closes the door and walks into the living room, finding him standing at the end of the couch, looking down sympathetically at Yvette. If you tried everything, we would be safe. Karas face screws for a moment, an expression of wanting to say something spreading over. Kara whirls around, catching his arm. I missed you. Plenty of angst and eventual fluff. Thank you for coming, Lena., The Luthor raises her eyebrows, looking between the sisters. And Roger and Sarah are both concerned. That night when we were about to go back, I was so ready to tell you. Shes not the Luthor you remember her to be. Who did she promise to love eternally? Im not going to die, am I?, There is a scenario in which I can show you how the world would be if you did, but for the moment I would like to present you a different one. I could kill you at the push of a button, but I didnt. Alex sees Lenas eyebrow raise in curiosity, the wheels turning in her mind. To Lena, your colleagues at work, unknowing agents at the DEO. She seemed exhausted, broken, beaten. Its a little late for that, she gasps, shaking her hand in an attempt to cool it down. Work Search: Alex narrows her eyes at her. You have no idea how happy I am to have you back, Jonn says, touching her leg gently before following Alex out of the infirmary. Im sorry.. You were kind, friendly. The screen blinks on, an image of Alex standing at a wedding alter in a sleek white suit, smiling as she looks into the eyes of her partner. But Lena is her next stop. Ill do anything to damage the Girl of Steel., The woman chuckles, continuing her path to the door. All of the heroes had managed to evacuate Kara and Clarks earth, and for the moment, everyone was safe. You did Nothing., Youre right, Lena cries. She brings her hands to her face and sobs, her shoulders bobbing up and down. She swallows and smiles into the already smiling face of Mon-El. How could Kara manage this before she told her? What are you doing here?. Its because Im a Luthor., Kara grits her teeth, grinding them. Their eyes meet, and Lena tilts her head at her in confusion. Whats wrong? Extremely patient when it comes to the people Im interested in. He makes the selfless sacrifice to fulfill his role as a Legionnaire and return back with Imra. An empty gurney awaits them on top of the seal, a few DEO doctors waiting for her. Now, we best be going and have you get settled in at my place. She was definitely nervous. It had started like any other day. His eyes close and his head tilts back into complete darkness. Tears have started to roll down her cheeks and Kara stands stiffly at the front of her desk. How had she not noticed that her best friend was Supergirl? How would she react when she learns that her hero and friend was nearly dying from her sisters actions? How can one resist living the life they wanted when all they really need to do to have it is be a little bit selfish. And you are the cause of that., He closes his eyes. How could a Super align themselves with a Luthor? "My body will rot at the gates of hell, but my soul will wander the earth until I find my beloved and be able to sleep on her chest of honey" promised the being before ceasing to exist. It couldve put you in danger-, Bullshit! She spits. And I think I havent had enough. Alex squats down next to Karas chair, coming to eye level. Rubble covers all lanes, crushed cars leak gas onto the pavement, and burning green fires flicker across the site. All real. This was the first place he went to. Thats mercy., Alex takes a cautious step forward, the sister in her wanting to comfort Kara, but the doctor in her wanting to tend to Lenas wounds. Kara looks over at her, an eyebrow raised. Brainy! Alex has to take a moment to register what has happened. Mon-Els eyes gloss over as he remembers the moment, the look on her face. She deserved it. It's no surprise to her when she quickly finds . Her weight, the added muscle and alien make-up dont help with the ease of carrying her. Writing puff pieces has its advantages.. If she just decided to call in sick for a day off like any other person. How could you put up with someone who had lied to you from the very start? The moment Kara says it she regrets it. But she had underestimated the heros capability of honesty. She turns and disappears out of the sliver the Monitor has cut for her in the universe. Her legs swing loosely from Karas grip, sending shooting pulses up her limbs and into her hips. No thought comes to mind at Karas question. Immediately, she picks up her leg, hopping over to the monitors. Jeremiah worked for Cadmus and betrayed you, Alex is the Director of the DEO, and I know plenty of aliens who would love to get their hands around her neck for arresting some of their loved ones., The man grins, nodding. We were so close anyway, only a few weeks. I came back when my step-sister called and told me Sophie was in trouble. ***WARNING: CH 25 "Goober" Contains Graphic Scenes of Abuse***, Susan and Neil are dead. Then we cant let it get out of control, Jonn says smartly, standing from the table and walking over to the whiteboard set up at the front of it. We? Kara breathes, knowing he came with others. Ive realized that now. Heroing and all, Lena teases. She suspected it was because she just didnt trust her. Kara, he says stopping her. He stops near a long metal table, a single man with a handlebar mustache and balding head checks over finished plates and hands them to staff, barking orders. As it should be. Be quiet, she responded, and burst into the sky. Mend things. In his mind, he was saving it, too., Kara shits her weight, leaning a hip against the conference table. He pulls a doctors stool over to the bed and sits down. Maybe now her friend can forgive her. James helps Kara into his arms again and runs inside the building, Lena following close behind. So far, she hasnt given up on that goal. Tell Yvette I say hello and I wish her well. Kara is not of sound mind, and she has deadly superpowers. Im fine. He feels as if hes been punched in the stomach. Hey, look at that, Mon-El says, holding out the slip of paper that reads his fortune. Lena waits in front of her with her arms crossed, taking her in. God, no. Finding none, she takes a large step forward and shoves open the door. It had already been a few days with Kate at the DEO, and Kara was practically living there to spend more time training and teaching her. Anyone I care about will be vulnerable. I put on an act to make you believe I still cared about you. Alex told me the first thing you did was-. Go through the interaction. He looks at them one by one. Are you safe?. Kate turns around, facing her. This is the third book in a five-part series following Jack and Sarah, and their growing family, through life's ups and downs over a period of 60 years. I That was me. A certain familiarity with a treasured employee perhaps, but her hatred for her had allowed her to work on without guilt. He needed her to feel him in order to sort out the imagination of her mind to the reality of her world. How did you get out? Mon-El asks, his voice cracking.
