Injustice
Anyone thinking this is close to Myriad Succeeds, in certain ways it is, however this is evil Kara, not a Kara who is good but pragmatic. The stories will change wildly eventually, with this story going beyond Myriad, Myriad succeeds will end shortly after the Myriad event.
Non and Kara flew in the opposite direction to Fort Rozz, heading towards where Non explained they were in hiding, and where Kara could reunite with Astra. Non had told Kara all about the fact that they'd seized control of the prisoners and they all followed them, and having seen what life was like on Earth in the past few weeks, they had realised Earth was on course to end up as Krypton did, and that they would need to stop it at all costs.
"What do you mean, Uncle? How will you stop it?" Kara asked, confused by it all, would they seize power as they tried on Krypton?
"There was a program, on Krypton, named the Myriad project. Had we had control and used it, we would have saved the planet. We shall modify it for Earth and when it is ready, we shall use it." Non informed her.
Kara smiled at this, no other planet should suffer the fate of Krypton, and if this Myriad could do that, she'd be behind it entirely.
"What of the humans, what would it do to them, Uncle?" Kara asked, wondering if this was designed for Kryptonians, how would it impact them? They weren't all bad, the female she was with for a time, Alex she believed she was called, seemed kind enough.
"It will make them work for us, work to better their planet, work to create a new Krypton." Non informed her as they landed, missing the look of awe and hunger in Kara's eyes. A New Krypton, now that was something worth fighting for, a Krypton with all its grandeur, away from those who ruined it. A utopia, in Kara's eyes.
Non took her into a cave system where they found many pairs of eyes looking upon them. Kara could hear their mutterings as they walked, yet despite the hostile glares aimed at her, none of the others made a move against her. As they got to the back of the caves, Kara noticed a familiar face.
"Wife." Non called as Astra turned towards him.
"Non, there you are, have you-" she trailed off as she noticed what Non had with him.
"Is that a child? Why did you bring a human child with you?" She demanded before Non interrupted her.
"Look at her." He said, pushing Kara towards Astra, so she could see her face clearly.
"Little One?" Astra asked, breathless and eyes wide in shock.
"Aunt Astra!" Kara cried happily as she rushed forward and embraced her aunt, feeling her aunt wrap her arms around her, Kara sighed in contentment.
"How? How are you here?" Astra asked, pulling away to hold Kara's face, drinking in the details of her niece's appearance. It had been many years since she had seen her, but finally, Rao was smiling on her, Kara should have been her daughter, not Alura's, and in this new world, this new Krypton, perhaps, finally, she could be.
"I was saved, sent to Earth to raise and protect Kal-El, but I got knocked into the Phantom Zone as Krypton died, I landed here to find Kal-El no longer needed me and he abandoned me to live amongst the humans." Kara growled out, the anger in her voice evident to Astra and Non.
"Kal-El? I'll kill him myself." Astra promised, seeing how he had hurt Kara.
"No, please, Aunt Astra. Kal-El is only a fool due to his following the guidance of Jor-El, if he had survived Krypton's destruction, I'd take his head myself for damning our planet." Kara promised.
"Kara, what are you saying?" Astra asked, shocked her little one could have such venom and hatred in her voice.
"You knew what was coming, didn't you? It's why you vanished, you were sent to the Phantom Zone, weren't you?" Kara asked, tears pricking her eyes as she thought of the suffering of her aunt, all because of the High Council and its unwillingness to do what was needed to save Krypton.
"Yes, Little One." Astra admitted, knowing she couldn't hope to have a motherly role in Kara's life without being truthful with the young girl. "We saw what was happening and took steps to use a program named Myriad to save the planet by uniting the people under the cause of healing the planet."
"What happened? A cause like that should have been used." Kara stated, wondering why the High Council would have opposed saving Krypton. It just made them all even bigger fools in her mind, to have a way to save the planet and still allowing it to die.
"I agree, and we fought to try and ensure our planet's survival, but we were branded traitors for opposing the High Council, I was called to see your mother, under the pretence of visiting you, when I arrived, you were sent away, and I was captured, we were tried and sentenced to Fort Rozz, to spend eternity in the Phantom Zone." Astra finished as Kara clutched tighter to her and wept.
"You were captured because of me?" Kara asked, wishing she hadn't caused the destruction of her planet indirectly. Astra seemed to sense that Kara was blaming herself for the failure of Myriad and Astra's capture and she aimed to soothe her niece's fears.
"Hush, Little One. You were not to blame for our failure, nor for my capture. All that matters is we are together again now, and together we can stop this planet from sharing in the fate of Krypton, we can lead humanity, through Myriad, to a better future, we can create a new Krypton."
Kara sniffed as she smiled up at her Aunt, maybe, just maybe, it would be alright. They were together once more, and her aunt would bring about a new Krypton, she just knew it, the glory of Krypton would once more be in the skies, thanks to them.
Next time, Astra begins training Kara.
I've also had a few requests for commissions, let me state this now, fanfiction writing should, in my opinion, be for fun, not for money. If you want me to write you a work because you don't think you could develop it or whatever, I will do if the idea appeals to me, but I will never ask you to pay for it.
