"Alex?" She took the phone, already imagining who could be at the other end.

"Maggie, I need you to go to Kara's" She could sense her wife's voice about to crack, which wasn't a good sign. And after years of being with the woman, she knew better than to question her franticness.

But what she found when she got to Kara's wasn't what she had expected. The main window, the one with access to the balcony was in shreds, the whole apartment was upside down, there were holes in the walls, the size of a fist and the ceiling had a couple holes too, but from heat vision. She knew from the moment she had stepped into the apartment, that it was going to be one of the longest nights in her life, more so than the night she had to sleep in the street, after being thrown out of her house. She took out her gun and proceeded inspecting the place.

The master bedroom was a whole other level. There was no bed, just stuffing laying around the room and the walk-in-closet Lena had bought was literally inside the wall. And there were pieces of kryptonite laying around in the floor, forming a circle. But, the worst part was the brunette woman lying on the floor in the corner, her hands covering her growing belly. After kicking the kryptonite to the other side of the room, she rushed to her, it wasn't every day that she found Lena Luthor in shock.

"Lena, are you okay? What happened? Where's Kara?" She looked into the woman's eyes and knew that she would get a couple words in, if she was lucky.

"Kal" That was the only word Maggie needed, she pushed the button in her intercom.

"Alex, any news on Superman?" She asked, not wanting to know the answer.

"How is she?"

"In shock, she's not talking and I'm gonna need paramedics ASAP." Maggie lifted the pregnant woman and carried her to the big couch, the only thing that had been left unscathed. "Danvers, what the hell happened?"

"Clark, he found out about Lena being pregnant with Kara's baby and tried to get rid of the baby." She sighed, it wasn't the time to judge Clark Kent's moral code. "How's the baby?"

"It looks good from here." She swore under her breath and unzipped the CEO's black pants, she ran a hand through her panties and looked at her fingers. "Alex, she's bleeding." She cried out after seeing blood in her hand. She wiped it off and took off her pants. "How long till the paramedics arrive?" She went back to the main bedroom and by chance found some sweatpants to put on Lena.

"Five more minutes." She didn't know if they had so much time. "Maggie, lay her down and don't let her get cold" She did as she was told, taking off her oversize NCPD jacket and covering Lena with it.

"Kara" She heard the pregnant woman whisper. "Kara" And Maggie sighed, she didn't want to get into Supergirl's ear if she was fighting her cousin.

"Alex, is Kara reachable?" She asked, she moved around the apartment to the balcony, from where she could see the black van approaching and smoked coming from some place in the city.

"She's gone rogue, Mags. She has her intercom with her, it's on, but she's not answering" She could hear Alex's desperation for her little sister as clear as day in her voice.

"Put her on"

Margaret Sawyer was bilingual. She was fluent in Spanish, being her parent's native language and she knew how scarce was the English language with curse words. If she had counted it right, there was a 62% of missing curse words in English. And she was also familiar with alien languages, being a regular in an alien bar, she knew her way around cursing in almost seven different languages from three different galaxies. She thought she had heard it all, until Kara.

Kara Luthor, or Little Danvers as she still called her, was literally kindness in person. She was gentle, loving and had a smile that could cheer you up at any moment. But a mad Kara Zor-El, a mad Supergirl was a whole other person. She didn't recognize the words thrown to the Man of Steel, she didn't need to. The raw anger in the blonde's voice chilled her to the bone. She had never heard anyone that hopeless, that desperate to put an end to a threat, and she was a cop. She didn't have time to reconsider as she felt Lena's weak hand reach for her intercom.

"Kara" Just a word and the superhero doubled her strength and rudeness. Gone was the Supergirl who fought for peace and tried to resolve conflicts by talking rather than punching. The woman they were hearing at the other end, was the woman who had seen her world end, who had failed the mission given by her parents, who wore her family crest knowing she was the only one who knew what it entailed. The Kryptonian was at a point where she was eager to end the last son of Krypton, even if it was the same person her parents had sent her to protect, even if it meant she was going to be the last Kryptonian in the galaxy.

Because at the end of the day, she didn't care what happened to Kal-El. She didn't care what happened to the world she had taken refuge in, to the city she had called home for more than fifteen years. No. She didn't give a damn, because the hero who stood for justice was the same man who had threatened her family and that was all that mattered to Kara Zor-El.

It had been a stressful day for L-Corp's CEO. She had been buried by paperwork, a visit to the HR and the lab to oversee the development of the new piece of technology they were developing. Not counting the two-hour meeting, the hour and a half discussion with Winn over how to upgrade the DEO's firewalls and lunch with an overprotective Kara that with time, was getting on her nerves.

So, when she opened the door to the apartment, she didn't even change clothes. She plopped down on the couch and took off her high heels. She sent a text to Kara, to let her know she was home. It had become a usual thing as of lately to have Kara Luthor drop at the office to drag her home, so she could rest. She understood her wife's concern but it was starting to get overbearing.

She woke suddenly when she felt the floor shake and consequently, the couch. She opened her eyes and found a figure dressed in red and blue staring at her from the balcony. Even in her sleepy state, she wouldn't have mistaken him for Kara, she was considerate and didn't make much noise if she was sleeping, and she had a key, which she used frequently. Also, she didn't look at her as sternly as the man in her home did. The blue eyes turned cold as he stepped forward, and by the frown in his face, she could tell he wasn't happy to see her.

"What do you want, Clark?" She asked him, daring him to break the uncomfortable staring.

"I want you out of Kara's life" He ordered and she stood from the couch. Not even Superman himself was going to tell her how to live her own life.

"I'm sorry but I can't do that. Kara and I got married three years ago, a wedding you were not invited to." She crossed her arms, the protruding belly very visible in that posture.

"I think you are mistaken, Luthor." He spat her last name, as countless others had done in the past. "It was not a question, it was an order." And that was when air became a necessity, because she couldn't feel the floor below her feet. All she could feel was the hand encircling her throat, taking away all opportunities to breath. She knew that if Kara didn't come soon, she was going to die at the hands of the Man of Steel, the American symbol of Justice, because his moral system had rigged his reasoning. How ironic, she thought.

"Kara… will end… you" She managed to say between breaths, maintaining eye contact with him.

"By that time, you'll be dead, and so the unborn monster you're carrying" And she screamed like she had never done before, because she felt a hand on her belly. She felt his hand pressing her unborn child into oblivion, trying to kill the life she and Kara had fought for, over the course of a year and a half.

That was the last thing she saw before darkness took her.

…..

Kara was helping Alex put together the shelf they had bought in IKEA, because according to Maggie, if a lesbian and a bisexual woman weren't able to put the thing together without looking at the instructions, they would have to reconsider their sexuality. It had come as a joke, but with Alex's competitive side showing, it had turned into a full-blown competition between the Danvers sisters and Maggie. But Maggie wasn't home, which gave them the advantage of time.

Kara was about to place the last shelf, when she heard it. And she was gone faster than a bullet, she had gone so fast, Alex was sure she had broken the sound barrier. It had been the worst sound Kara had ever heard, and she had heard and watched her planet explode to extinction. But nothing had prepared her for what she had heard. The agony and desperation clinging to the voice of the woman who held her world, was utterly terrifying and Kara knew that there was no going back.

She didn't think it through, she flew directly to him, to let her go. She didn't take into consideration that Kal-El was six feet tall and that he was holding Lena up to four feet above the floor, which subtracting Lena's height, gave her an approximately six feet of free fall. Adding the state of unconsciousness, she was in. So, Kara did what she could and with all her strength threw Superman out of her apartment, which gave her time to get Lena to the bed, where she could wait until Alex got there. She texted a single word to Alex and prayed that she saw it. She didn't have more time, Superman flew to where she was waiting and threw in the first punch. Kara ducked it and hit him with the heat vision, which he countered with his own. Using that as a distraction, he moved around until Kara was facing the bedroom, where he knew Lena was laying and let go of his heat vision, causing hers to demolish whatever was in front of her.

That was the turning point for her. She used her x-ray vision to check if she was alright. She sighed in relief when she found out that Lena, who had regained consciousness had moved to the only place where she was safe. To the corner of the room. She had taken the security box from under the bed and had laid the green crystals far enough so that the baby wouldn't be hurt, but close enough so that neither of them could be near. Kal-El tried to use his heat vision against her, but Kara elbowed him, causing him to miss and hit the bed, which didn't make it.

By that time, Kara could hear the rapid breathing her wife was exhibiting, and she knew that if she didn't get Kal-El out of the house, they could lose their baby and Lena her life. And the prospect of losing everything didn't appeal to Kara. So, she punched him time and time again, until she was sure he could not move and with all her might, and one last look at the woman clutching her belly, took the Man of Steel by the neck and threw him to the outskirts of the city, following him closely.

…..

It was a sight to see, really. The most powerful beings of Earth fighting for their lives against each other. The last two remaining people of a long-lost culture trying to exterminate it. It did made for one hell of a breaking news, and Snapper Carr couldn't reach the blonde reporter who was in charge of all Supergirl latest news. James Olsen, for once in a long time, decided to stand down, and instead of joining the fight, put on the Guardian suit and went to make sure every person in the vicinity was safe and secured. Winn, stopped eating his donut once the fight was broadcasted in the large monitors of the DEO. He scurried to let J'onn know that he could count on him for whatever he could, at what J'onn answered with a nod of his head. It wasn't long before a very angry Alex made her way inside, not wasting any time in changing clothes, and placed her intercom in her ear, trying to get to her little sister.

Nobody questioned Winn when he went to make a fresh pot of coffee.

…..

She had been kicking him for over two minutes, not giving him time to recover between hit.

"Ewuhsh-u khap rrup!" She punched him again, not caring if he understood what she was saying.

She kept screaming at him in kryptonese until she switched to English to make sure he was listening.

"How could you?" She took him by the neck and tried to choke him, but he broke her grip and managed to kick her down. "I will end you, Kal-El. Ewuhsh-u khap rrup!" She said once again.

"You won't Kara. And you know why? Because that woman you call wife, is a monster! A :Dokhahsh!" He received heat vision as an answer to that comment.

Kara stepped forward and tried to punch him in the side, but he enveloped her fist around his and twisted her arm, so his arm was around her neck, depriving her of any chance to breathe. She took in a breath of air and slammed her head against his, breaking his nose in the process.

"You are dead to me, Kal-El! You had no right to touch her, nor were you invited in" She avoided his punch, but wasn't so lucky when he yanked her hair and brought her to her knees.

"You are a disgrace to the House of El! Did you honestly think that Zor-El and Alura would be proud of you? No, Kara. You married the woman whose family swore to bring us down!" He was red by that point, trying to get his cousin to see reason. "And having her carry the next heir of Krypton?" He kicked her in the face, smashing her body against the nearest building.

"You're wrong Kal! Krypton is dead, dhehraogh. There's no Krypton. And don't even try to bring up my parents, you didn't know them, they died to save you, to make sure you and I were safe. You don't know a thing about Krypton, you don't even speak our language! Just some words in between verbs. You didn't see our planet explode, everything I had been raised to love shatter. I did, Kal. I see my planet die every single day and the only thing that keeps me going is my family, and whether you like it or not, Lena's my family. KHUHP I W ZEHDH!" She had gotten enough of Kal-El, she was decided to end him, once and for all.

….

Maggie held true to her word and stayed with Lena until the very moment she was rushed to the ER. She had been handed back her jacket once they had covered Lena with a much more appropriate blanket. And she couldn't help but stare at the piece of clothing she had cherished throughout the years.

Because it wasn't just a jacket. It was the very same jacket she had been wearing since her late Captain had given it to her. The same one she had found countless times in Alex's side of the closet. She had used that jacket to cover the lost kids who were left to their care, the devastated widows sobbing their way to a light interrogation. And in that moment, with the jacket sporting a bit of blood, she wasn't sure if she was going to wash it or throw it away.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Winn came running and literally crashed into her without any warning. She hugged him back, their tears soaking each other's shirts. She knew she could confide in Winn, it had been a long time since he first saw her crying after Alex had been badly hurt in a battle. It had been him the one who confronted her parents before she got word of their whereabouts, and it had been him the one who had been able to calm her down when her father had stepped into her life and made a mess once again. She had come to see him as a brother, someone who cared about her and didn't have any alter motives than just being there.

"How was she?" She sniffed and blew her nose with the tissue handed to her.

"She was stable. She went into shock after Clark tried to kill the baby. She's being checked out right now." She went to the waiting room and sat down. "How's Kara?"

"She's lost it." That was all she could handle at the moment. She couldn't imagine how Alex was feeling, seeing her sister trying to kill the last member of the long-lost planet.

James arrived shortly after.

….

Clark didn't know how they ended up in the Fortress of Solitude, but he didn't like it. He wasn't too keen on knowing that Kara had access to crystal that could pierce his skin and end his life. But he kept on defending himself, blocking her punches, kicking her back, trying to break her. And she did it all back, and they both knew she was stronger than him, and that as driven as she was at the moment, it wouldn't be long until she would have him on his knees.

He did manage to keep up with her for far more time that she had initially thought, always trying to be one step ahead of her. But as his body slammed one of the columns down, he knew. He knew it was over. Yet, his mind had not been changed. She walked up to him, saw him looking her in the eyes, and glancing at the broken pieces of crystal on the floor. One caught her eye, it was sharp and thin. It would pierce his skin and tear his heart, she just needed to bring herself to actually do it.

She remembered all those evenings with her cousin, laying on the roof of the Danvers' house staring at the stars, she teaching him the exact location her home had once been. She recalled the times she had confessed her feelings for her crushes through the years, her doubts when she came out as Supergirl, his words of wisdom after being in Earth far more time than her.

Yet, other moments came into her mind as well. And she remembered as clear as day the suspicious glances he had given Lena, the numerous talks she had had to sit through, listening why exactly he didn't approve of her friendship with the youngest Luthor. She remembered all the side comments anytime the name Lena had appeared in conversations, the accusing words of a man scared of the only thing that could kill him. She recalled the time she had dropped the bomb, telling him that she and Lena were happily dating, and she had thanked Lois for being there, for keeping him at bay. For reasoning with him, to talk rather than fight. But it only had helped to a point, because in that moment there was no Lois who had stopped him.

And the last thing she heard in her mind, the one sound that had been replying in her mind, was the only thing she heard as the Man of Steel let out an agonizing scream. The only thing she could think of as she watched the light vanish from his eyes, as he let out his last breath. And she sunk to her knees, instantly dropping the bloodied crystal to the floor. And cried for her cousin, for the caring and loving being he once had been. She cried for Lois too. For the woman who had seen her grow into the woman she was, and the woman who would never forgive her.

"Ehrosh :bem, Kal-El. Krym-u rrup Rao." She closed her eyes and let her head fall, Lena's scream following her as the darkness took her.

….

"Alex?" She watched as Winn got up from the chair and ran down the hallway.

She waited patiently for him to come back, to tell them what had happened, how it had ended. She woke James up and pointed at the hallway Winn had disappeared to, letting her head rest on his shoulder, she took his hand and held tight.

"Winn, what happened? Is Kara alright?" James got up from the chair and moved closer to the younger man.

"Superman's dead." He handed her the phone, and looked at James Olsen, Clark Kent's best friend. "I'm so sorry, James" And James found himself sobbing, wrapped tightly in Winn's arms.

"Alex? Is it true?" She asked.

"I was the one who placed the kryptonite cuffs on her, Maggie. She stabbed him in the heart." She let the words sink in, she tried to stifle a sob.

"Where are you?"

"No, you stay there with Lena. Make sure she and the baby are alright, I'll take care of my sister." There she was, Agent Danvers controlling the situation.

"Alex, I'm sorry it came down like this." She didn't know what she was referring to, Alex had lost a member of her family, but her sister was going to face justice.

"I love you, Maggie"

"I love you too"

Someone tuned on the TV and they couldn't keep away from seeing their friend.

"Superman was killed a few hours ago. He was found in an unknown location, stabbed in the heart by a piece of kryptonite. The person accountable for this heinous act is no other than Supergirl. According to our sources, they had been fighting over National City hours prior to his death." They showed some footage of the two Kryptonians fighting in the sky, Kara throwing Clark to a building, kicking him when he fell to the floor. "In the next couple days will know what will happen to Supergirl, meanwhile she will be kept under surveillance in a federal prison. What is clear at the moment is that today, the United States of America had lost two heroes."

"Family of Lena Luthor?" A doctor came in, glancing at the TV.

"That's us." James called out, and the doctor nodded. "How is she? Is she alright? And the baby?"

"Mrs. Luthor's fine. We managed to stable her condition, but we had to deliver the baby before it was too late." She looked at them. "He's healthy for a seven-month premature baby, and will need to stay in the hospital for a few weeks so we can monitor his progression. Mrs. Luthor will probably stay asleep as long as the meds work, so that would be three hours from now." She smiled as she saw them relax. "Do you want to meet him?" She asked kindly.

"No, not until his parents has" Winn made the decision.

"Okay, you can go and see her, but one at a time" She nodded and left.

"Winn, would you mind staying? I gotta go and make sure everyone in the city's safe and Maggie needs to go to Alex" Winn nodded and left them go, making his way to the room Lena was resting in.
