"You have been the sun of our lives. Our prayers will be the sun that lights your way on the journey home. We will remember you in every dawn and await the night we join you in the sky. Rao's will be done."
From the depths of the sky, Supergirl fell. Plummeting to the earth; she almost reached the speeds her pod had as it too had hurtled down towards the planet. Her hair whipped her face in the wind as she stared blankly at the explosion that had thrown her down so far. Her skin ―that glowed a warm, sickly green―stood out from the blue and red costume she fought in.
The heavens of fire framed her body as it fell, sprinklings of pure white sunlight burst through the black cloud dabbled with the shrapnel and flames that rained down around her. It was almost a beautiful sight; the end of the Girl of Steel was one to be marked in history for millennia to come.
Across the city, loved ones looked up. The ones who always spoke found themselves wordless, those who always took things slowly raced towards their friend, the people who constantly hurried around couldn't inch forward even a step.
Kara Zor-El, for she had forgone her earth name of 'Danvers', herself was hardly awake however she could comprehend a solitary thought: no one in this universe is going to miss me. She had pushed so many people away. She had tried so hard to be more than human. She had become so obsessed with being more loyal to her Kryptonian roots. In return she was now alienated from the world, suitable for a creature like her.
Someone would save her...wouldn't they? Yet she was getting closer and closer to the ground with no one in sight. The city's heart pounded harder and harder. The ground opened it's arms to welcome her.
On the ground, J'onn held Alex back as she screamed for her sister.
"Kara!" A ravaged cry out for someone to help her. The woman's mouth flooded with blood as she tore herself apart to help, Supergirl's fists had done their damage.
"You can't stop me, Alex!" Kara had yelled. "I want to go home!" Alex had known the truth...why hadn't she listened?
Kara why didn't you listen!
She got closer and closer...closer and closer...Alex dropped to her knees with a silent cry, curling up: she couldn't watch.
A shockwave jolted through the city when she hit the ground and a burst of green exploded into the sky. Kara convulsed. The pain….it was too much...a guttural scream left her lips as she shook and cried.
I want my sister.
She sobbed in her mind. Alex. She wanted Alex. She couldn't even think about what she had done to her.
No-one was allowed to get close, Kara assumed they didn't care. She couldn't hear Alex crying, or Cat collapsing to the ground, or Winn getting angry. She could hear so little, and less and less with each passing second.
What Non had said was true. She couldn't get that thought out her mind. He was right, he had been right all along. It didn't matter now did it?
Kara could only hear silence, but the city was screaming along with her and when she stopped crying...when she stopped moving, a darkness overtook the skies. Supergirl was dead.
Hey! I've been working on this fanfiction for a little while now so if anyone's up for leaving a review I would appreciate it! If people like it I think I'm going to aim for posting a chapter a week? And maybe one or two extra here or there if I feel like it. :) Just so I have some idea about what chapter lengths people would like if they want me to continue posting the fanfic could you take a look at the Poll in my bio and vote? Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
