Okay, so this is my first fanfic posted EVER! Thanks to Liooness for explaining how post (I'm new). So this is pretty much about how the events of episode 24 'Adam and Eve of Destruction' are seen through Kara's eyes, mostly focusing on Adam's (dysfunctional) relationship with Brackus.

Kara struggled against her bonds, but to no avail. The glowing ropes held her tight. Tighter still was the traitor's grip on them. All Kara wanted to do, once – more like if – she freed herself, was to give him a few good whacks for betraying her and her friends. They'd all thought they could trust him. She had thought she could trust him.

Adam hadn't said anything to her at all when he'd grabbed her from her sleeping bag and tied her up, or during the long journey on foot. The last time he'd spoken was at their campfire. He'd been doing his best to change their minds about attacking Nazmul's castle. They'd all misinterpreted it as concern for their well-being, but now it was clear that he just didn't want them making trouble for the Order.

They moved, invisible, through the halls of Brackus' Keep. She recognized it, despite the fact that she'd been horribly sick and dizzy during her last visit. The pair, captor and captive, stopped in a room where Brackus and one of his officials were planning an attack.

"But my lord, what of Lord Nazmul?" Kara could hear the uneasiness in the man's voice. Thunk. The sound of a small, solid object was barely audible, but she could still make it out.

"The key to Nazmul's ultimate destruction." Brackus' nasal voice was unmistakable.

"The Nova Stone?"

"Indeed. Carry out your orders. Leave Nazmul to me." Kara was confused. She was sure Adam was working for Nazmul, but if that made Brackus an enemy, then why were they even there in his Keep? It made no sense.

After the other man left, Adam tugged at is cloak a little bit. The invisibility shield around him faded, exposing him, but not Kara. "Show yourself!" Brackus cried, pulling out his stones. Leaving Kara sitting helplessly in the corner, Adam stepped out of the shadows. Brackus gasped in recognition. "You! What are you doing here?" Kara knew that Adam had seen Brackus at Callisto, but there, Brackus had shoved him aside to get to her. Why was he suddenly so interested in him now? Was it just because he didn't know Kara was there?

Adam pulled back his hood. "Is that any way to greet your son?"

Kara now couldn't understand a thing of what was going on. The simple question had shocked her out of struggling to free herself. If Adam was with Nazmul, then he would be sure to keep her alive, which he had; Nazmul wanted her body as his host. But if Brackus wanted her dead, to keep Nazmul from getting to her, wouldn't Adam, his son, have instead finished her off for him?

And more importantly: ADAM WAS BRACKUS' SON?!

"What do you want?" Brackus still didn't seem too happy to see his child.
