Kara winces, closing her eyes as she raises her hands to her face. Mon-El looks down, not pleased with her answer. He still had Alex and Winn, Jonn and his friends at the bar. And I think Kara was just trying to protect you from that pain., Lena shakes her head, hating how shes right. He already knows shes watching him, he can feel her eyes. Whoever was knocking was in pain. Big, crocodile tears. She stops, afraid that if she got closer Kara would try and touch her to comfort her. Soft pounding from outside her bedroom made her sit up, eyes narrowing to adjust to the darkness. She almost gasps, falling to her knees right then and there at the sight of him. Your articles get better and better. You do too. She winces and hears Alex snorting laughter behind her. The city, the friends, the family. I am too, Alex says, putting her hands on her shoulder and laying her back. Same goes for the doppel. But still, with each one that isnt Alex, she feels guilty that she is relieved. Kara bites her lip, battling with herself and her tears. It wouldve been easy for him to send a DEO lookalike signal to a Legion ship.. You know what shes done, Alex, you said it yourself, Kara growls, her face inching closer to Lenas. My marriage is seven years in the future, Kara. But now A genius? Let us form a plan to get him out of the public eye now, or risk him giving me a chance to stop him permanently., You would kill my brother for what? Quickly, his hand dives into his pocket and emerges with a grenade. She could never forgive herself if she took her to the Fortress and never came back. So, my question for you is, why didnt you tell me? Not off of straight alcohol, but Imra played a trick on his mind to make him tell the truth. She was Supergirl. We are so close to the end-, Do you really think there will be an end? Kara interrupts, snapping her head up to her. And dont worry. He looks up then, eyes watering. She had raked her brain for the current people in her life. I have to get out there, she tells, staring at Alex with hopeful eyes. Yeah, I know that, but, got shot. At the DEO, he lays in the infirmary, connected to various machines and tubes. Kara hands her the carton of ice cream as she sits, then leans her head on her shoulder. Imra and Brainy had awoken and were just starting to grow accustomed to the new planet and era. And since you should be dead, youre expendable. Monitors that show his vitals and images of his wounds rest on a cheap desk, and they are old. What choice?, Jonn glances over his shoulder at Kara and she nods at him slowly. This one she might not come out of. She only recalls it so vividly because it was missing something. Mon-Els eyebrows raise and he watches her carefully. His knees buckle and he leans against the door, sliding down, setting the boxes on his lap. I cant do that to Imra and neither can you. America wants to kill me, Nia needs training, CatCo needs coverage, Mon-El is gone, Winn is gone, Clark is gone, Lena hates me-, She does, Kara mumbles, stepping away from her sister. There was a man inside, my age. Kara shivers and shakes her head, unable to speak at the electricity coursing through her hand. Kara has his jacket splayed out as a barrier against the damp ground and loose dirt. Kara watches her, brow furrowed and listening. When he rebelled against me, it was the worst pain of my life. But their grief would have to wait until this new enemy was extinguished. Hes here? he says quietly, eyes narrowing and watching her closely. You know, to be honest, I think the universe could have chosen you to represent any one of the Paragons., Yes, Kara. A name. Also Known As But those emotions turned cold quickly as she remembered all the times Supergirl had put her in danger, went against her, how much Kara had lied. Every so often, when everyone is in the midst of a big laugh or a massive argument, Kara looks up at the door, as if waiting for someone to walk in. I can see why youre the Paragon of Courage., Kate grins, rounding the table and draping an arm around Karas shoulders. Alex is sprawled on Karas couch, her legs resting over Karas lap as they take turns sharing a carton of ice cream. You might surprise yourself, William shrugs, his shoulder nudging hers. You are an alien. I shouldve known most people lie on those. Kara laughs at him, not keeping it in. My dear friend and incredible reporter Kara Danvers told me something recently, and we have decided together that this is the best way to get it out into the world. I thought I killed my best friend.. No, no, no. You would have been in extreme danger with the government if you had known. A stranger shes met who left a subconscious impact, or maybe someone who isnt even on this Earth. Articles, reports, blogs, have been written that state us as being best friends. The world could never be good, pure. People didnt want to be around him anymore and he was alone. And that is why she needs to confess. And look where we are. Lena throws her hands in the air, smiling angrily. . Hope.. Her sister leans into her, closing her eyes. "Yes, darling?" Lena already knows what Kara might ask for: donuts, potstickers, or pancakes. And what choice do I have when I have direct orders from POTUS to do this?. I do, Lex. But he was at the bar with Imra. You scared me today. Mon-El had frantically shown them her note that morning she left him and everyone disregarded him, waving their hands and telling him shes just taking some time off. Not willing herself to throw it away, although she doesnt want it, she places it in the box. She cant see his face, his new expression of pain he wears every day, his eyes that no longer yearn to look at her. I loved her!, I loved her, too! Lena screams back. Friendships are always harder than relationships. What now?. Lillian and Hank, take Lena to safety but leave Kara and Mon-El, on the ship the President has ordered to be definite grated by the positron-cannon in the DEO. Her weight brings them both to the floor, and her hand tightens on the strap that holds Alexs gun to her thigh, squeezing so tightly the buckle pops and its pieces trail to the ground. Say them and it can all be yours. But it also made her vulnerable. After everything Kara had taught her; to be sympathetic, forgiving, ruthless, Lena didnt take anything away from it. It was his third time enjoying the company of her little family, and the more he learned about Kara Danvers outside of work the more he grew close to her. She had told Lena the truth. He becomes Sebastian Smythe at 14. The CEO of a billion-dollar corporation yes, but it becomes a front for creating deadly weapons and materials used to defeat Supergirl and help rid the human race of their humanity., Bile rolls up the back of her throat. I was finally able to blend in. I took her last name and Sawyer now has mine, she explains. Kara presses a hand to her mouth, compressing her cry of pain she wants to expel from learning this information. Alex watches as Kara struggles, her burnt hand splitting against the metal as she tries to free her. I mean, I did almost die, did die, a few times, but that was really nothing. Kara laughs, brushing it off. Perfect., Kelly gives a lazy smile as she takes in Karas outfit. He left his people behind while he was whisked away to freedom. She shakes her head. Cat Grant is the biggest name in media, yet shes so stressed she can hardly keep up. Okay, so lets say we hit my doppel and she goes down. But one remains. He turns back to her, interested. I dont know how to delete them, so most are about groceries or that shes on the way home, but they always end with her telling me she loves me, and that shell see me soon. His head drops slightly, closing his eyes and hearing her voice in his head. And the citys hero, Kara, could finally be at peace with herself and the Luthor name. But it wasnt. We learn from them together. The moment she straightens herself she collapses back on the couch, Kara already there to catch her and lower her into the cushions. Her friend, her family, was almost taken out by an order she made. Kara sighs, taking a step toward a large mound of rubble. A baby girl is in her arms, holding Maggies finger as she talks to her. No, no, no. Talk to her. And that is exactly what she hopes will happen with Lena. Thats why Im going over to Lenas to talk with her., Kara rips her head from her shoulder, staring with wide eyes at her sister. Never. Kara takes her reluctance as a yes. He lays still, pretending to be asleep. Or at least, trying to date. She didn't know why. With William, he made her real. She spots Alex from the ground floor, watching her pace through the conference room windows. Well, why dont you? One of those mannerisms he picks up on tonight. You arent necessary for this next part.. Just behind them are the civilians who came to see her press conference, but little do they know this conference is not in support of her company. No liquid sloshes inside. Its always been Kara. It was effortless. The would get to meet like the civilized women they were. Lena, are you alright? She had just failed to get Lena back, and now she had failed at doing the one thing she vowed to do; protect the people. A knock on her door broke her out of the trance and her head snapped to the source. But her sister stops her before she can get out a word. We need to change peoples perspectives., Lena smiles, shaking her head. Sam reaches for her, holding her sleeve. She was firing numerous questions at him and he was doing his best to keep up with her and answer honestly, but finding some trouble with making time for air. Her smile fades into a smaller one, and a part of him feels bad for pressing her. No, Lena, thats not a good idea-, You know what I dont think is a good idea? Lena almost laughs, putting the button back in her pocket and shaking Myriad as a reminder of why she was here. Though she wasnt feeling very mighty. Kara cocks her head at her and glances at James, then smiles at her friend. Beat yourself up for loving someone else. Kara sucks in a breath. But the main reason I talked myself through it was that he was so much smarter than me. It comes with a cost. A little worse for wear, but Im doing okay. When Lena first arrived at the DEO, the first person she saw was Kara. We couldnt communicate with the pod and I didnt see him again for seven months., Kara nods slowly. She knows she should be self-conscious, but its Brainy. She had trusted her. The jacket of his suit was bulging with the shape of a massive gun, and his pockets were filled with the round bodies of grenades. The city is protected, even without a Supergirl. No, he lied, Alex. Whats next?, Youll have to live it to see. She was a sister. She couldnt lie to her. I just I dont know what happened. She winces just as Alex comes into view. No, this is not about me, its about you. Kara jumps and Mon-El hugs her closer to his chest. Clark appears around the corner of the doorway, poking his head in. Hey! Hey, what did I just see over here? Alex asks, coming up to her. He told me. Retelling his life to all of the agents and friends he had made the seven years before turned into a challenging task. Its just Im used to the important stories. You had me believing you actually hated Supergirl., Lena almost chokes on her whiskey. Lenas brow furrows, confused more than anything, but a tinge of anger burns in the back of her mind. Thats all I asked for.. Its safe to say that this planet isnt keeping me from anything.. Her face is tight, strained and the veins in her neck protrude so much Mon-El can see her pulse. How did you know you wanted to write?, I didnt. Her shoulder was immensely sore, along with a burning gash on the side of her leg and a stiff torso, but she could move. Yeah, I know that, but Kara got shot. This is why I asked you to talk. Kara doesnt speak, she knows better. It was all out. Maybe catch you before you fall., She puts down her papers. I am constantly playing catchup to everything in my life. I want you to stay the loving friend of Kara Danvers, not the monster I know from the future. They sit close once more, a separate seat taken by their food. The new edition to her hand catches on the fabric of her suit, snagging a thread. Please know that if I could stay, I would. She weeps for their soon-to-be-shattered friendship, she weeps for her dead brother, and she weeps for herself. Alexs daughter, she figures. Life, I guess? Imra had ruined the memory for her, maybe now he will see that. I never meant to humiliate you-, No. Lena waits in front of her with her arms crossed, taking her in. Mxy? A sticker in the shape of a house sits in the middle of the park, nothing else surrounding it. You have no idea.. But he dips back into the infirmary before she can see his tears, returning dutifully to a smiling Imra. Our best chance is to stop him before he gets too far ahead., Lena shakes her head slowly, eyes on the ground. I wanted to hate you. Nor can I, Clark agrees, smiling down at his baby. Are you sure youll be alright?, Alex looks up at her honestly. Her best friend betrayed her just like everyone else in her life, and the only way she knew how to handle it was to get back at them. Kara, I dont know if I can believe you on that one, but Im sorry that happened to you.. I-. Good to see you., He raises his hand in greeting. Now he sits at Karas coffee table, deep into a serious game of Monopoly. To gain insight as to how I can help you. Its pale with exhaustion, red and dry eyes, lips cracked and broken. Ill join. He hears her from outside and sets the water bottle in the aliens lap, patting him gently on the shoulder and standing. I cant even express how I felt when I saw him. The gun fires and she spreads out her hand, catching the bullet as it soars through the air. Alex shakes her head, taking the back of her hand and swiping it over her cheeks. But she cant even get her words out before Mon-El jams the key into the lock and collides with her, hugging her to him so tightly she thinks she might burst. When she gets out of her coma, she and Mon-El fight alongside each other. If all goes to hell just call me and Ill give you an excuse. Family. He yells at Lena to drive and she obeys as James puts Kara in the back seat, climbing in and crouching over her. Do you believe that she will know Im telling the truth if I tell her?, Alex inhales sharply. Her knees buckle but she stays standing, trying to get the air back into her lungs. How in the hell did they ever get here?! Fix it.. She stares at the cell of ice surrounding her, enduring the steady pain that bites at her skin. Which would mean my initial hypothesis is wrong, and that you didnt grow evil in the future because you never made up but rather because you were ready to and Kara wasnt. That was the biggest difference between them. I would never kill her. But Kara, her betrayal physically hurt. Living with your brother has been peaceful and quiet but soon enough your peaceful life is turned upside down when you both are forced to live with Denji and Power. I wont tell her.. The last box is for his personal items. I never used her, but she thought I did, and looking back now I can see why. She almost gags. He sighs, then nods. It was the need for a connection that could tell them they were going to be alright. Take what off?. Hey! Its a shield, she announces, rubbing her hand over the front of it. But she hides it too well, and he backs away defeated. I hurt you in ways I cant even imagine, but youre starting to sound like Lex and I know thats the last thing you want., Maybe youre wrong, Lena snarls, her hand squeezing the grip. Lena makes her way to the balcony, jumping when she sees the hero fallen on her balcony. Alex puts a hand on his arm and shoves him in the direction Kara went. The bus stop, several parking spots, and a few picnic tables sit at the edge of the mountain. If you cant she pauses, closing her eyes. Trust me when I say this, Mon-El. The dim lights and soft rocking of the bus soothe the remaining nerves Kara had, allowing her to cross her legs and lean back. I was not aware the lab was going to be having visitors. Eve glances at Lena for direction. But, thank you for letting me know where we stand. Cat Grant.. If she needs help theres always Jonn or you to pitch in, right?. Better?. Hey, you. Then she laughs. That was the only time I thought about being human, she finishes. One moment she was standing. She turns her head to the entrance just a few hundred yards away. Lena had been searching for the right time to tell Kara the truth. You will persevere. Kara takes a few more big breaths. This the story where I became my Rival's Girlfriend. Alex hums, and Kate moves closer to her. Their gazes meet, and secret words are exchanged between them. I havent known you very long, but you have shown me love, humanity, honor, hope, truth, courage, and destiny more than anyone has in my entire life., Kate chuckles. Shh Kara says, closing her eyes. Jonn leaves them once more, closing the door behind him and wrapping them in silence. She and I we separated.. I cant live any longer with pretending there is nothing between us. When he is finished with his work he turns around, showing off a bracelet-looking figure. It soaks into the knees of Alex and Lena, the heros sisters. There she is! She looks up at him. Kara and Supergirl. He leans into her, his lips coming to a stop just before hers as she puts her fingers to his mouth. Her sister already made up her mind on Lena. The amount of Kryptonite in the dart was enough for half an hour, but with how much Supergirl has already been exposed to in previous battles, she may have built up a tolerance. Kara steps into the room coldly. He pauses, cracking his knuckles, and his eyes begin to water without him letting them. Her heels prevent her from moving very fast, but the moment she is out of the building the wail increases. Woah, there. I will never leave you ever again, Kara. Its freezing out. She leans closer, finally hit with the wave of bar that steams off Kara. She smiles at him. He lets out a groan, watching her as she dresses. Aurelia now has to navigate her relationship with Fred and his family as well as coping with the reappearance of dangerous forces. I would never love her the way I love you., No! One emotional, the other strong in body. She put the blame of losing all the Earths on herself, even though the other heroes were doing everything they could. He turns his head, observing her body language and finding her irritated. Kara is so important to her. She reaches out to the bedside tray and drops the bullet into a metal tin. What are you Shes still sleeping, barely awake. Yes. She had taken their friendship so seriously because she knew Lenas history, she knew Lenas past. Hey, hey, Kara, listen to me-. He pauses, face scrunching as he looks up at her. He waves an arm at the weapons. How?. "[The 3x07 Karamel reunion from Mon El's POV]. Wheres Alex?, He pauses and puts his hands on his hips. He turns to her, eyebrows pinched as she listens to Jonn. "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. Talking to her heroic identity as opposed to her human one always seemed to be easier on people, and perhaps it will be for her as well. You should have been there.. Some fast, working too hard to keep them alive, and others so slow I marveled at how they still smiled at me, laughed. Karas eyes widen. By some form of seriously messed up nature.
