"Kara, please, don't do this." Maggie begged as she took in the sight of Kara, cape flowing and eyes burning as she held Rick Malverne in the air by the throat.
"Stay out of it, Maggie." Kara growled.
"Alex wouldn't want this!" Maggie tried to appeal to her.
"It doesn't matter now what Alex would want! Alex is dead, because of him!" Kara shot as she turned her attention back to Rick, who was smirking.
"I did tell you, we could have all gotten what we wanted. You just had to release my father." Rick said. "It's your fault, both of you, that she died."
"Enough!" Kara roared as she threw Rick across the room and onto the floor.
"Kara!" Maggie cried as she saw the rage overtake her friends face.
"Listen to your friend, Kara. You don't have it in you to end me. You'll cry and beg and moan, but in the end you'll accept it. Alex Danvers is dead, and it's because of you."
With a primal scream of pain, Kara rushed over to Rick, and grabbed him once again, slamming him into the wall, as Maggie yelled for Kara to stop, and J'onn's voice came over the comms to call her off, Kara could only see Alex, lying there, motionless on the floor, and Rick's smirk at hearing that she had died. Without a hint of regret or remorse, Kara felt her eyes heating up, saw Rick's grin falter, and she felt herself let go.
Maggie could still remember the screams, the look of horror on Rick's face before his face disappeared entirely, the calmness of Kara after he stopped screaming and shuddering and became still, the calmness as Kara dropped his body and simply walked from the room. Maggie would also never forget the smell from the room, the smell of roasted flesh.
Even now, three years later, Maggie could remember it all.
