October's Malevolence (..and Onto the End of Fall)
"Mmmmmmmm...such a pair you are." She purred. Rebecca winced as she pulled the metal wires out from under each elbow, gasping as blood came with them and she dropped one, then two down on the metal tray. "Well worth it though. How your little Angel Agency can manage with all those issues on technology and background checks...such a shame. Wouldn't you agree sis?"
"Indeed." Megan smiled and handed her twin the container. "You lost one." Rebecca took it and handed Ms. FBI her beer.
"How is she?" The Sergeant asked, sipping her own.
"Stable. She's not dying. Not healing either."
"We shouldn't kill her. I know you've fancied her Megs."
"I've got time for that later. I do have to say, how you figured out a way to manipulate that portal key...I'll never know."
"All the best secrets I keep under my sleeve." Megan growled, with Rebecca removing the metal tubes from beneath the skin. "Yours had to be a little deeper."
"Well worth it. Ouch."
"Now we've got that little pair back. Did you bring the formula that little Kieran came up with?"
"Indeed. I suggest we try a different approach this time."
"How so?"
"Well…..you kind of dropped the special ring when you pulled them into the portal."
"What ring?" Megan snickered. "Ohhhhhh...that ring."
"Somehow, even without it, they can communicate. I'll break Alex. You break her ex. I get you have this wonderful obsession for dear Alexandra. But...that won't help you. I do have to say, my blend worked well to confuse the little alien party. Sam nor Jehna were aware of their slip up. Well….slip on." Megan bent down and grabbed the Director's unconscious body, throwing her fireman style over her shoulder. "Don't use the breath."
"Suggestions?" Rebecca caught what was thrown at her. "Hmm hmm...a voice changer?"
"You will figure it out. I'm sure you can think of something." Both sisters laughed as the Captain was drug off by the wrist in the opposite direction as her ex. Megan smiled, carrying the gorgeous bad ass agent to a chosen destination. She wanted both Maggie and Rebecca maddened and psychotic enough to do anything to protect themselves. Then...they would begin to make...crucial errors..
Once she knew they were where Rebecca couldn't see them, Megan hit her own portal key opening a rift. 'Time for us to get better acquainted dearest Danvers.' She stepped in, only for them to disappear into the black clouds. One single item remained on the ground where they had once been. Megan's phone, that blinked with a tracker attached to the back. It wouldn't be long before both Rebecca and Maggie were found and by the time they were, her sister would be hyped up on the drug she'd laced the beer with. Such perks, of being...FBI..
Megan stepped out from the rift, smirking and singing to the rock band she had chosen to be her go to for her sinister games. Walking over to the exam style chair, with ease, she placed Danvers into it. "Sorry I had to do this the hard way Alex. No offense." Once conscious, she knew the Director wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her voice and Rebecca's. It was a full proof idea in her mind. Megan took the gorgeous metal collar-like necklace and slid it around Alex's neck, securing it with the puzzle lock in the back. This would keep any psychic interference and residual energies from being detected.
The former FBI agent brought the mask over Danvers' face, securing the tint shade over the eyes first. Once locked in place, she buckled the other part of the mask over Alex's nose. This would ensure she couldn't breathe in and out from her nasal passage. A trick Megan learned in the government, when introducing ways to build compliance or trust. She secured both arms on the armrests of the chair, buckling them at the wrist, forearms and upper arms. Two straps criss-crossed and the shoulders and chest were bucked in. A belt around the waist, kept for little movement. Ankle cuffs, metal knee pads were placed over the knees and upper leg straps aided in the rest of the movement. "Time for a tiny dose of my blend Alex."
Megan smiled, puncturing her science experiment in the side of her neck as she slowly pressed down on the plunger. "Just...enough." The violet-blue glow showed itself in Danvers veins, though not as strong as what was given to Kara. She wasn't thrilled with what Rebecca had done, injecting two mixtures into the blonde. That wasn't the plan. However...Megan's own blend of periwinkle kryptonite and ice should make her trials fun with Alex. Now, she just had to wait for the effects to take hold. A sudden groan, gave her the reaction she had hoped for.
Everything in her body felt tight and slowly she came to, finding pressure against her backside. Alex went to move, finding no give in doing so. She gasped, opening her eyes to pitch blackness. Pushing her power into her orbs left her blind completely and worse so, noticing she couldn't see through. Lead. "I'm...gonna...kill you...Becky.." She couldn't breathe in and out of her nose and with that realization she tried to fight what was holding her down. Alex fought tooth nail, noticing she could wiggle her fingers and toes. "How...the fuck...did you get loose?!"
"Careful beautiful." Megan cooed smiling. She left the Director's head unrestrained, minus what was on her face. "I wasn't through with you." She waited and waited, hearing the growl and one name.
"Maggie?" One slip of the device over her mouth, two clicks and she was ready for her plan.
"I'm here Danvers. Ughhhh...I can't move." Megan thanked her acting coach in college.
"Mags, it's Rebecca." Alex felt herself tense by the sound coming from her ex. "Mags? Maggie? Maggie!" She was going to do more than torture the bitch. The moans ripping from Sawyer were enough to make her fight at her restraints, flinging her head side to side and screaming her first love's name.
"Can't...ohhhh god Alex. Ohhhh it feels..sooo...good.."
"DON'T TOUCH HER MORDOH! LET HER GO! LEAVE HER ALONE!" The noises were killing her. Alex couldn't stand to hear Maggie like that, begging for more. Moaning to be touched in that way. "STOP….stop.." She knew she was crying and she lost track of how long the sex sounds continued. Then a noise she recognized far too well hit her ears and Alex felt the tears escape from under the blackout mask. "St….stopppp...Rebe...cca...stop...please...please stop."
Megan knelt down and ran her tongue Along the side of Alex's face making the woman shiver. "Please...don't touch her...stop." She clicked the voice box twice and waited, turning down the audio recording of Sawyer's panting and moaning. Once it was low enough, she took a seat on the stool next to her strapped down Director. "Leave her alone...please Becky."
"Very well." Megan adjusted the recording, to heavy enough breaths to warrant a passed out Captain. "What will you do for me?" She knelt down and licked up the escaping tears. The woman hadn't moved her head at all. "What..will you do for me?"
"Anything." Alex felt utterly broken from listening to Maggie that way.
"Anything?" Time to test her theory.
"Yes." It didn't matter and her head felt scattered and Alex had no idea why. Was she being dosed with scopolamine again?
"Deal. I am going to release you. There are dampening cuffs on your wrists and ankles Danvers. That mask you can't remove. I suggest you comply and do as I say. I want your gorgeous black suit removed." Megan began to unbuckle and unclip each band on Alex's body. "Don't try anything. Strip." Her taste was for the other Danvers, but this was an opportunity to further her research. She wondered if Rebecca had started to go mad with fury and betrayal yet.
Alex felt the last restraint removed, sitting up slowly to avoid the dizziness she felt. Her body was heavy for some reason and her thoughts were clouded, making it hard to focus on getting off the chair she was in. Two hands took her own and she let herself be helped onto her feet. Danvers put her head down, let go, reaching up and unbuckling and unzipping piece by piece of her favorite suit.
"Is..she okay?" Megan was touched by the bigger concern and not the fact that Alex was having to remove her clothes.
"She's resting. I won't touch her again." She tapped the earpiece, making sure the attachment would keep the agency and angels from finding them. With the dampeners placed around the room, Alex wouldn't be able to hear.
"MAGGIE! WE'RE HERE! GET your fucking hands up! NOW BITCH!" One pissed off Co Director came through first.
"SAM! Sam don't! Sis don't! DON'T!"
"SHE..deals with ME! Now, you fucking tell me WHERE MY MOTHER IS!" The youngest of their fighters absolutely fascinated Megan. She needed to have a little one on one with this Skye. Looking back, her tongue grazed along her bottom lip slowly. Alex was beyond stunning. The kryptonian blood in her, removed every ounce of fat from that well shaped figure.
"Ya know….you had us all fooled. BOTH of you." Megan's jaw tightened. "As a matter of fact, Rebecca, I am almost certain that she is listening right now. Do you hear me Megan? Your FBI cover might have fooled these guys, but NOT me. You might have taken the tracker out of Danvers' shoulder…"
"Let's get back in the chair my beautiful agent." She lead Alex up the step and back into the chair, making quick work to restrain her. Knowing the Director wouldn't risk fighting, she buckled in the legs first, then the belt around the waist. Smiling she attached the straps across the chest and shoulders, chuckling. "Good g.." Alex grabbed Megan by the throat, kicking off the restraints on her legs. "H...how.."
"You reeeeally..underestimate...the Danvers." Maggie snarled and shot out the panel, removing the dampener lights from the massive lab. Lucy and Sam walked up to the Captain's side and growled. "Still as stunning as ever Lexy."
"Daaaaamn..your wife is hot Artemis." Luvrii whistled.
"She injected something into me. Wait." Phoenix was ready to rip Megan's head right off her body, but her own body was having trouble fighting what was running through her veins.
"Hmm hmm hmm...release me." Megan smiled, feeling the hand around her throat lessen. She was set back down as the hand left her neck. 'Step in front of me and guard your owner.' She commanded, touching Alex's bare chest.
"Danvers?" Maggie's eyes widened, watching her ex slip in front of the one that had kept her captive. Alex closed her fists, her eyes burning amber with a powerful glow. "Alex."
"Phoenix." Ruby couldn't believe what she was seeing. She looked at her ring and tried to reach out, gasping when she felt a block. The woman, her other mom was guarding, just put her head back laughing. "Mom."
"She can't hear any of you. She doesn't recognize any of you. Did you really think Rebecca was the one that came up with that little concoction? She may have dosed her with the scopolamine, but I completed it when none of you had looked. She drank it. Just like she will now." Megan snatched the bottle from under the chair and unscrewed it, handing it to Alex. "Drink."
"Danvers! DON'T!" Jhune yelled and flew directly at the Director. Before she could get there, Alex had downed the whole bottle, crushing it in her hand. 'Alex..Alex Danvers! Alex, it's Jehna. Don't listen to her! She's drugged you!'
"Foolish move." Alex rushed right at her and slapped her away like a bug. Jehna smashed against the wall and dropped to the floor coughing.
Skye's eyes began to burn red, slipping darker as her mom's own matched it and she knew it was Reign that had taken over. 'We have to knock her out. It's gonna be the only way.' The dark kryptonian nodded and both shot forward then swerved around to attack at both sides of Phoenix.
"Take them down Alex." Megan said smoothly. Alex tightened her jaw and prepared for both attacks, crouched in a full blown defensive position. "Don't kill them. Just...knock them down."
Mother and daughter made contact, but Alex had been ready and began to block each punch and kick with ease. She drove both her knees up slamming them into Skye's and Reign's stomachs, forcing them back some. For a moment they forgot how skilled a fighter Danvers was. Still, they attacked reluctantly and furiously. Alex was punching and kicking back, using her combat training to fend off their strikes. Yet when she was sidetracked, Jehna and Astra had slammed their fists down on Megan's back.
"NO!" The minute she spun around to get to her owner, she felt a surge of electrical current at her back forcing a scream out from her lips. Alex dropped to her knees. Sam, now back in control and Ruby looked to the one who had shot Danvers. Maggie lowered her ex's favorite gun, sighing.
"We need to get her back to headquarters." Lucy had felt bad for commanding her wife, but she knew it was the only way to subdue the Director. She knew this was personal for Maggie and let her be the one to lift her up and carry her out. Sam stood, frozen in place by what had occured. It killed her to have to resort to trying to kick Alex's ass. Ruby felt it too and took one of her mom's hands squeezing it.
"Here." Jehna tossed her niece the wrist cuffs that Lena had developed. The electrical currents and doses of a mild tranquilizer would ensure Megan couldn't get up. Astra took it upon herself to rip one of the metal straps off the chair and grab a towel, wrapping it tightly. Once modified she slipped it around Megan's head shoving the thickest piece between her teeth.
"I'm taking her out." Ruby reached down and grabbed one of the monster's ankles, dragging her out with the rest of them walking toward the exit. No one, was separating again..
Agents walked up to the windows, one by one, unnerved by what they were witnessing. Once again, the Danvers sisters were down. Kara hadn't woken up and had an anti-kryptonite shield on her chest. The tinge of glowing green veins remained, not as strong but deep enough to trap her in an unconscious state. Alex had a shield over her own chest. Her tightened jaw and thrashing had left Lena in turmoil, trying to find solutions to fix both sisters.
"Can we try the rings?" Maggie asked, first to mention it to their group of angels.
"We put Alex's on her finger. Ruby can't get through." Sam struggled to get out. This was killing her, killing them all…
"Let me try." Sawyer knew what was at stake by offering. Maggie met Sam's eyes and saw the hurt but also the nod. Ruby tightened her fist, then slowly opened it and slid the ring off.
"Bring my Mom back Captain. Bring them both back." Skye warned, knowing Tijrea had heard it as one.
"I will. Put the sisters closer together and have their hands touching."
"Got an idea I take it." Lena chimed in and nodded to Jehna and Astra to move the beds. Once they were side by side and Ruby put one of Alex's hands in Kara's, Lena grabbed Maggie by the hand that had the ring on it. 'Bring them back. That's a command.' She shared that mental message.
"I will." 'Trust me with the Danvers. Get everyone out and lock the door. I know what I'm doing. Trust me.'
"Let's go." Lena told them, noticing the uncertain expressions on their faces. She took one more look at her wife and sister, then flicked her gaze into nervous chocolate ones. "You better bring them back."
Maggie watched as they all left and went over to the small speaker, taking Alex's phone off the table and plugging the cord into it. She knew what song to play. This was going to bring up some good and bad memories, but Sawyer was willing to do it for her Danvers duo. Once the music was up just enough, she took a seat at the head of their beds. Maggie reached out and put fingers on the side of both their temples. 'You two are missing out. I know you both can hear me. I know you feel weak and I know you feel like giving up. I'm telling you both...fight. Fight like the Danvers girls that kick everyone's ass. Fight and show me those crisp blues and gorgeous milk chocolates. Find each other...and fight...'
The sights were just as both of them remembered, just like the day they slipped the bonding bracelets on their wives. One leaned on the balcony wall, overlooking Argo City. The other leaned against her, with an arm around her back. Cerulean and chestnut took in the views, admiring the vivid colors and exotic wonders of kryptonian nature.
"I remember, us up here. This was the first thing I saw, when I woke up and you were at my bedside." Alex told her sister.
"The first time I discovered this, I was overwhelmed by everything. I had found out that she was alive. I had found out that..some of them had survived. Mon-El and I were...it was as if we were together again. I had wanted that. We had come for the Harun-El and for a moment I had forgotten that. My own shock could have cost Sam and all of you your life's."
"Then you went back. I'll admit, I was scared. How could I have anything on this place. How could I compete with what you knew before you became my sister? I asked myself this, every day that you were gone." Alex had never confessed what she had felt, lost without her person. "I was so relieved when you showed up. Yeah...everything had gone to hell in a hand basket.."
"Nothing we hadn't faced before." Kara smiled and leaned against the wall with her sister, their hands finding each other. "How did we end up here?"
"Me." Both of them looked back, turning around slowly. Maggie stood before them, smiling. "I came to remind you two of something." She walked over to them and they made room for her to step in the middle. Now, the three of them looked out at the city. She took their hands and squeezed them. "I know you both feel a sense of loss. For you Kara, as if you've fallen and found yourself unable to fly. For you Alex, like you're in that tank again and the water is rising. I was there, when we searched high and low for you Danvers. Kara and I had different methods, but in the end we found that common ground. We got to you and we saw you in that tank. I thought I'd lost you. She was the one to free you. We heard you cough and we knew we had brought you back to us...together."
They didn't say a word, merely listening to someone that had forever changed their lives. "I wasn't there, when you fell Little Danvers. I was sitting at a bar, about to leave after practically getting hammered off my ass on your favorite Holiday Kara. I looked up and saw the fight. I had told everyone I had been somewhere else. I lied. I felt horrible. I felt responsible. I stayed at the bar, until my buddy that owned it called me a cab and paid for a hotel room."
Maggie put her head down and squeezed their hands tighter. "I let you both down."
"No you didn't." Alex told her. "We were apart and you were in Gotham. I was well aware at where you were. Susan had kept tabs on you, to make sure you were okay." Her ex just shook her head. "I heard about how you got shot undercover."
"Maggie, it was you that helped us find Alex. You made her happy and brought her out of her shell. For the first time, she had love that wasn't a sisterly kind." Kara said, putting her head against who she would always consider her big sister too. Alex did the same. "You came to bring us back, didn't you?"
"You two are my Danvers girls. That won't ever change. Oddly enough, this place that both you actually see differently, seemed to be your solace. That's why you came here. But you know there is somewhere else that is some place we have in common." Maggie tapped the top of the wall and suddenly their scenery changed. "The loft is such a special place you know."
"How.." Both sisters couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"Here's the rundown girls. Megan and Rebecca were working together." Alex snarled and Kara clenched her jaw. Maggie sat down on the couch, patting both sides of her to have them join her. "They were both drugging you two. Megan took you Danvers. It wasn't Rebecca."
"I'm gonna kill them." Sawyer heard the ruthless tone in both their voices.
"I need you both to cool down. I don't know how, but even my body has fallen asleep. It's October." They dropped beside her and Maggie could tell they were shaking. "I promised the angels I would bring you two back. I don't care what it takes."
"How long have we been out?" Alex had a bad feeling about this.
"Two weeks. Two weeks too many honestly. Remember when I told you Danvers, that you were my lifeline when I was taken?" She nodded. "That I was yours?"
"Yes."
"You...are Kara's. You two have that bond. Even though you are both unconscious, you are together. I may...have made sure of that." Maggie smiled.
"How?"
"I kinda had your beds pushed together and...you guys are holding hands." She chuckled. Alex quirked an eyebrow up. Kara wasn't sure what to make of the news. "I have Ruby's ring and yours is back on you. The bitch that had you Alex.." Maggie took a deep breath, letting it out slow. "..had a kryptonite that sure as hell was new to me. Luckily...thanks to that asshole Lex, we figured out what kind. She also laced your water with ice." Danvers was floored.
"Ice? Meth?"
"Yes. All three were in Kara's bloodstream, along with scopolamine. We got three out of the four out her. Yours is a tad more difficult."
"What happened to Alex?" Kara needed to know and one look in her ex's eyes and Maggie knew she couldn't keep it from them. Their gazes locked and with them facing one another, she reached back and took Kara's hand.
"Somehow...she controlled you."
"What?!"
"Lena found an entire pack of water bottles under your desk. Your coffee bags had the same thing in the bottles. Lucy had your desk inspected by forensic teams. Your computer, printer, top of desk, chair and the vents pumping fresh air in your office all had traces of ice and scopolamine. Your suit you um...removed..had the drugs on it too. If I had to guess Alex, Megan's been dosing you for months."
"How could I not know?" Alex put her head down, trying to piece together what was missing.
"Anonymous phone calls. Lena traced them. All from Megan's apartment. We think that Kara has been having the same thing happen to her."
"Is...was...she responsible...for.."
"For what hit you in the tunnel? Yes. For the gases, the technology, the research for Kayla's little mind tricks. Rebecca was how Lex got the president to pardon him. She had recommended Colonel Haley be sent to aid the president. Megan is the one that provided Arleen the tools of kryptonite torture. She and her sister had learned enough about the Earth jumping and the dimension tech to get a message to Alura. She was the reason for the attacks from the kryptonian traitors. Jehna has been feeding me everything with her powers so I could tell you two."
"Anonymous...calls?"
"What can ice and scopolamine do Danvers?" Sawyer knew the Director had extensive knowledge about all forms of drugs, human and alien.
"Fuck with memory. Force..suggestion? Fuck. She was using suggestive terms." Alex sat back, looking up at the ceiling. "She's been doing this...since when the DEO was up."
"It wouldn't have come up on a drug test because it was meant to leave your system soon enough that it wouldn't be detected. The calls were a way for her to weasel her way into your head Alex. Peri k forces the lowering of inhibitions. Ice did the rest. Every call, she was probably using various ways to shift your thoughts...just enough that you couldn't figure out what's happening.
"What...what about...Roselyn?" Kara was panicked now. Maggie turned some to lean back and pull both sisters into her arms.
"She wasn't using that on you Little Danvers. She was responsible for some of it, but not all of it. My guess is she's been dosing her sister to keep her in line. Rebecca would have been like a puppet on a string and easy to the same suggestions. I'm not saying the bitch isn't responsible because she had this...fucked up stalker obsession with you Alex. That was all her sick mind."
"How did you figure all this out?" She was looking for answers, just like her sister.
"The bitches kept journals. We found Rebecca's easily. Megan's...were harder to find. Jehna had said that a few of them puked. I would have too if I had seen them with my own eyes. Look..you two need to go back. Go back." Maggie let them go and dug into her pockets. "Remember what Brainy said to you Kara? He showed up and got you to see some stuff. Remember...you are Kara Danvers. Alex..you're Alex Danvers. You two were sisters, long before you put on the suit and you became an agent. Tap into that."
Alex and Kara turned some and curled against Maggie. She was right. They had..to go back..
Lena felt broken, watching Rose cry and hug her mama then her auntie. Maggie was slumped over both sisters and when they had attempted to pull her away, her body spasmed and vitals spiked. The Captain was risking her own life to save them. Something had to give.
"Thanks Nia." She smiled at the hero who was holding an exhausted Little One in her arms. Kieran heard her leave and sighed, rolling her engagement ring and wedding band around on her finger. She was getting ready to go get some coffee when she heard two gasps and forced herself off the chair and over to the wall, hitting the button that would alert the other angels. "Kara? Alex?" Both sisters were groaning and their heads were moving some. "Darling?" Lena ran around to their feet and watched brown and blue open and visible.
"What's the...thank Rao!" Sam praised and flew over to her wife. Slowly but surely, the rest of their family came in. Lucy however, screamed out.
"MAGGIE!" The Danvers turned their heads, forcing their bodies to shift some and looked on in horror as the Co Director held her wife's unconscious body. Maggie was shaking badly, her head back, letting out a choked sound and Amelia and Jackie dove down and told the medics to hoist her up and lay her on a stretcher. Ruby nodded and took the lead, wheeling the Captain out of the room.
"Careful. Careful. We will get you two there." Sam promised them. She and her sister grabbed both Danvers, flying out after the medical staff. Lena and Lucy ran out after them. Halfway there, screams erupted and Kieran watched her Co Director's legs give out. Astra was quick to assist and pick Lucy up, flying toward the screams.
Their hearts cracked at the sight. Alex couldn't remain upright, her wife being the only one to keep her on her feet. Astra being who held Lucy from crumbling. Kara however, had found the strength to run over and push even her niece away. The moment her eyes burned orange then red, everyone stepped back. "Kara?"
"Supergirl?" Lucy wasn't sure what she was seeing.
"Solaeris." Kara looked at Alex. 'Go.' She nodded and took Maggie's lifeless body looking up at the ceiling and firing her heat vision directly into it, shooting straight up. Alex forced herself to Lucy and took her hand. 'She's gonna save her.' When her Co Director turned her head, Phoenix knew her eyes were glowing. "She will save her." 'She saved us Luce.'
"I trust you Alex. I trust Kara."
"Good. I know we are all worried about Captain Sawyer. I'm asking you, just like always, to trust in what my sister and I do. In the meantime, as we wait for news, I want everything on these fucking sisters!" 'Save her Kara...save her please.' Alex knew her sister could hear her, because Maggie still had that ring on.
"Director." Aaron walked over and handed her the tablet, pointing to the files and explaining each one. "Did Captain Sawyer tell you what we know?" Alex looked at Jehna who nodded, then turned back to Remzi.
"Yes. So they're responsible, for ALL of it."
"Records.." Lucy struggled to speak but Alex assured her, holding one of her hands. "Records show eight years of journals, database files and...they had...everything."
"From Reign on?"
"No. From Myriad on." Danvers had full blown shock slam into her, knocking her off balance. 'Everything. Fuck.'
The Mordoh sisters were responsible for the destruction of the DEO, internally. Everything the Director was seeing before her eyes, on the tablet, warranted the research that Cadmus had needed for their weapons. They had used every tool available to them, to concoct their own personal mission to screw over anything and anyone that got in their way. Alex didn't ask for permission and hoisted Lucy into her arms and walked to her office, leaving questions hanging over everyone's heads.
Once inside, she kicked the door shut and set Lucy in the chair across from her own behind the desk. "Everything is clear? No...blends on my box?"
"None." She wasn't sure why the Director wanted this private conversation. It was then that Alex tossed her the ring she wore, to keep in contact with her sister and ex. "Wha.."
"There is power in those rings. Kara can keep in contact with you as long as she stays in physical contact with Maggie."
"I don't understand. Don't you need this?" 'No.' Lucy dropped her jaw. 'I have the blood of my sister. I have the blood of my daughter. I have the blood of Jehna. I also...have the blood, of Reign. Kara covered all bases. We are both aware that the powers of the other World Killers are in us. How Megan found a fucking way around that and blocked everyone from reaching me, I've yet to understand.' "I don't know. All of this…"
"Phoenix. I've got her body stable. I know you can hear me. We always have a backup Danvers method."
"Told you." Alex let Lucy know. 'Kar, Lucy has my ring on.' "Is she awake?"
"She will be. I'm gonna transition her over."
"You are gonna...turn her kryptonian?"
"Her body is far too weak. Her organs will shut down if I don't Lucy. I want your permission. I won't do it without it. Lena has the bonding bracelet, that expands her lifespan. If I do this, I will have one made for you. This is your choice. I know that might overwhelm you Luce. Maggie saved me. She saved my sister. I need to know, what you want to do."
"Save my wife Kara. Voikir Khuhtiv Zrhemin."
"I will. You did really good speaking that and it's right Luce. I'll save her. I promise. Maggie...it's time for you to stop suffering. You saved us. I'm saving you."
"Promise me something Alex." Co Director and Director locked gazes. 'Promise me, no matter that I'm married to her, that you will protect her.'
"I promise." 'Thank you Luce.' Lucy smiled as they kept a firm grip on each other's hands. It was up to Kara now..
"Amarah..Ta Non..done to..me.." Sawyer's throat was dry, her body felt strange. She noticed the icy ceiling.
"Do try to stay still Tijrea. Your body is not well enough to leave the yellow sun lamps." Maggie's eyes widened. Then she turned her head and panic rose immediately.
"What happened to her?"
"After the transfusion, she is in need of rest. The solar lights will aid in her recovery. She has given more than her body is used to. Her concerns were of making sure you came over correctly. She forced herself to solar flare. It takes time for her to rise from that. Lady Kara has added you to the list of those able to access anything you need or wish to know from me. Is there anything I can do for you Margarita Zor-El, anything at all?"
"Don't call me Margarita. Maggie is fine."
"Very well Lady Maggie. I will be here if there is anything you wish to ask." Maggie looked at Little Danvers and noticed what was on Kara's finger. She owed her little sister her life. Kara titled her an El.
"Amarah, teach me kryptonese." Sawyer wanted to know and was shocked at how she suddenly knew the symbols before her eyes. This was...Kara's world..
"Right away Lady Maggie. Shall I request sustenance for you as well?" Maggie smirked.
"Hmm hmm...kryptonian metabolism. Fuck yes.." She heard what sounded like a door open and spun around, noticing just how quick she did so. But it wasn't a door opening but a portal. "Who.."
"Mags." Alex flew over and engulfed the woman in the strongest of hugs, smiling as Maggie's arms were just as tight. 'You're okay.'
"Little Danvers. Did you know she was going to do that?"
"I wasn't certain, until she picked you up and flew out. Lucy heard her ask for permission. She wanted her permission before doing that. I talked to Luce about a bonding bracelet."
"Amplifying her lifespan?" Alex nodded. "She flared Danvers." Maggie watched the grim expression and knew that the Director hadn't expected that. "How long does it usually take her to get back her powers?"
"I was shocked that she could even take off with you. We had just woken up? Neither of us should have been at full strength. She has always found this inner strength and I've never known how deep it goes."
"What it is?"
"You should know. Us."
"Amarah had told me that she had given me more than was safe practically. On top of a solar flare. I'm gonna owe her like...pie for life."
"Potstickers and pie and you're good. Lena set me up a way to get here without flying. We do need to check something though. Amarah?"
"Yes Lady Alex?"
"I need Maggie's body scanned, the fetus too." Alex had been worried with every attack at her ex, after learning that Sawyer was with child. She would be Maggie's personal doctor, especially after this change to her body. "At least she isn't calling me by my full name anymore."
"She tried with me. If I had control on the light-bright eyes I might have fried her circuits for that one." Danvers smirked. "All tests have been good so far. I was double and triple checked when my body got purged of that shit that bitch one gave me." Alex raised an eyebrow. "Thing one and thing two are not a couple of psychopaths."
"Agreed. Listen...Mags.." Maggie sat up and faced Alex. She slid the loose short strands of her ex's behind her ear. "Mags."
"We gotta protect her Alex. You and me. We have to."
"We will." Alex put her head up some, shutting her eyes. "She taped it. She taped it."
"She did." Sawyer wanted Danvers to know and understand everything she was about to say. "She used me to get to you." Brown on brown, their eyes shook from what had been done to them.
"She...she made me think...you were.." Alex was done being strong over this, falling against Maggie. Arms wrapped around her instantly. "It was horrible. So horrible Mags."
"I think that I can't remain an angel Danvers." She felt the Director pull back some, looking at her. "I want to murder them both Alex. I don't think I can hold back."
"I'll...help." They glanced over and noticed just the slightest movements in Kara's hands. It wasn't so much the fingers twitching, as the green streaks in her veins still. The cracks were there. "She's...gonna be immune."
"What?" Alex watched her sister point to the crystalized pedestal across the fortress, by the command dash. One single tube was left in the tray, empty. It finally hit her, what Kara had done. What could have saved her, she gave to Maggie. "Kar.."
"I'll...be...okay. I just...nee...need...t...to...rest." She was sure, this time she would be in the dream longer. No matter who it had been of their family, she would always put them first.
"She didn't sound good. Amarah?"
"Scanning Lady Kara's body for anomalies."
"Alex?" Maggie held on tighter to her ex's hand. They needed to get her back to the AOD...now..
Lena and Lucy stood by, when the two portal towers began to surge with power. Then Alex and Maggie walked through, with the Captain carrying Kara in her arms. The Co Director yearned to hug her wife, but her eyes locked on the cracks of glowing green through the blonde's unconscious trembling body.
"I suggest we get her to a clean room right now." Sawyer told them. Kieran motioned to bring her wife through the side door. "Were we already.."
"Yes." Ruby announced her presence as Sam came forward too. "She looks worse than before. Way worse."
"She is." Alex explained. "She made sure Maggie made the transition safely. She solar flared and her veins began to glow again. Worse than before."
"Alex?" Lena grabbed her wrist, making sure Danvers knew the fears running through her. 'Alex.' 'She gave Maggie the cure.' "What?"
"I didn't know she had one." Alex pulled out the empty vial, holding it up. Even Lena could see a few minute drops." 'It was all that was left. Tell me you can do something with this.'
"I'll help you Aunt Lena." Ruby offered, tossing her other mom a set of gloves. Alex slipped them on and stepped into the clean room. Her own fears hadn't lessened in the least. Kara's fingers were twitching and Alex knew what that meant. She just wanted them all left alone and safe for once. She didn't know what they had done wrong in the cosmos, but this was taking everything left in her, not to give up for once. Her sister needed peace. Kara had sacrificed enough of herself for all of eternity, the way Alex saw it.
"It's not good Alex." Sam forced from her lips, wearing a suit meant to protect her from the kryptonite. She tossed the second one at Alex and instantly it covered her body. "Lena figured we could use some extra shielding."
"She's right." Amelia added. Jackie and her came in, scrubs and all and went to work on examining Kara. The shade of pale her skin was, came far too close to blue. She was not only still poisoned, but losing body heat in the process. Even placing the latest anti-kryptonite shield over her, was doing no good. "That will keep it at bay for now." Hamilton stated. "We just have to wait, pray for a solution...and hope…"
Seventy-two hours had been how long it had taken for Danvers to lose it. Two days in and Maggie was ready to pay the bitches a visit, at day two. Lucy had been cocking her gun ten hours in. Lena had sharpened her twins, ready to jump when she got the go ahead. Sam and Ruby were ready to break the Supergirl code to take care of things. Jehna and Astra had taken turn on watch, giving Julee and Aaron downtime along with their teams. Everyone wanted their piece of the Mordoh, but it had been one they hadn't expected to feel that vengeance and one they never saw coming.
Two hours into the punishment, Dreamer had unleashed astral hell on them and the President had gotten her personal favorite type of justice for the one she named in the first place. Everyone had heard screams just twenty minutes in and begging to die ten minutes later. By the third and fourth hour, Nia needed a shower and Cat Grant needed coffee. Alex had met her in the break room and offered to go back down with her. She had agreed to take Agent Scully back, as long as Danvers kept her hands in her pockets. Alex made sure to where her agent ass kicking suit, promising to keep her hands on her belt. Cat had requested all firearms be handed over. The Director was reminded of why she wanted to kick her sister's old boss' ass in the first place.
Once both had went down to the glorified dungeon, Cat had announced that she was back. Before they even opened the door to the block, Alex had put a suit on like the security guards had, minus the guns. Taser batons were sufficient enough for Danvers. The guard entered the security codes, followed all measures and escorted them in. The President and Director stepped through, walking passed each cage. Some, had the remains of corpses. A few held prisoners that were on their last breath.
She took in the view, ignoring the fact that Cat had walked right on. For Alex though, this place was personal. Even under the agent mask, her eyes ventured to the first cage. The sobs and gasps could be hear from his raspy dry voice. This man was once a father. A long time ago, he had been a good man. She knew though, he had always been far from it. The day that Superman had informed him of the request to look after his cousin, he had changed. It still hurt her, that he had chosen the path he did. Oh well.
The second cage, held a body that was far from the human he once was. The monster may have been born human, but he had never really been much of one. True...he had been fed lies. She could never forgive what was done to her sister and especially to her. The Director could tell that her wife had been here. There were scorch marks from heat vision and Reign had burned her own symbol into his thigh, leaving his package destroyed. A smile crept over her lips.
The third had a corpse, another end to a ruthless battled. Across from that cage, was the tattered remains of the vile banshee that had once fucked with all their heads. Especially..hers. The tongue, that had been cut out, was pinned to the wall behind the motionless body. Two thick rebar posts pinned down her feet, impaling them into the cement floor. Smaller rebar rods were sticking out of her back, five in total. Danvers contemplated opening the cage and exacting a little more revenge, but the caged animal had gotten her dues.
She had been surprised, the one in the fifth cage was still breathing. That may have been the Directory's doing, using jumper cables as a way to prolong the bitch's agony. After everything done to the one that ran a ruthless evil organization, dismemberment, acid burns, bullet wounds, electrical shock and many other gruesome torture techniques...she still had a pulse. Mother and daughter had somehow remained living. Not for long.
Fitting that the one beside the Cadmus cunt, was none other than the high and mighty judicator. She had came down here, more than once, to unleash the fury of the devil on the one that gave birth to an angel and didn't deserve to be in the same universe as her daughter. The damage done to the kryptonian, that didn't deserve to be even that, was evident in the wounds. Danvers had brought her wife and daughter down here, taking turns injecting the most painful of kryptonite formulas her genius sister could come up with. She had to admit, Kieran was certainly creative in her own little spark of devilish intentions.
Thanks to her other sister, that had came to them as an enemy and ended up being one of the strongest of her family, the bones of the warlord scattered the floor of the cell. She had been grateful that Jhune had kept the death off their caped savior of Earth. The Director often reminded her, that the thanks should always be given to her.
One after another, the shattered corpses of kryptonian traitors remained. They were kept here for a reason and she had explained this to her comrades. That even in death, they should remain trapped in hell for eternity.
She stopped at one particular cage, facing it and looking into the one partially good eye the bastard had left. He didn't deserve to breathe at all, but she knew that this was his permanent prison. There was though, another reminder of fury burnt in. Apparently Reign and Astra liked the same methods of vengeance. She didn't mind, this monstrosity shouldn't have even been born with the same blood as her sister. Even though her other mom had enacted her own fury on him, she had been the one to pin both his balls to the floor two feet away, with her suit on though to avoid touching that grotesque pair. He hung on the wall whimpering and it brought her the greatest pleasure knowing that he had been forced to swallow his own pride down..inch by inch. Perhaps he lost his appetite after his stomach revolted, but she had made sure that his own manhood wouldn't be coming back up. Muzzling an animal was appropriate. Luckily, Space Dad had handled that PERSONAL revenge.
Then there was the cell that held the sobbing, whimpering, pathetic excuse for an Earth creature. She had held onto that suspicion after he had come to them, pretending to care. The Director thanked Dreamer, for the discovery of betrayal. Nia ran CATCO, with her second in charge being Lena's old assistant herself. Bringing Jess to a private chamber to unleash all that pent up rage, was quite refreshing for Danvers. She didn't even think the woman had it in her to be so...brutally gifted. Alex had told Jess, whenever she wanted to hang up her hat at the office and put on an agent suit, she'd welcome the woman gladly.
The L-Corp assistant, promoted to CEO had definitely come up with some clever ways to smash apart that putrid Guardian suit. The Director remembered the day she got the call about how the emails had been traced back to Olsen, in contact with the Mordoh sisters. Jess had made sure to get several good punches into his nuts with a set of brass knuckles Danvers gave her. Finding out he had been fucking both of the twins had certainly brought out the best in dear sweet Jess.
She halted her steps, standing beside the President that had certainly been waiting for her to catch up. Apparently, glancing down at the impatient tapping at her side, Alex had spent far too much time rolling the film of past events.
"Took you long enough."
"Sorry Madam President." Danvers said behind the mask. "Would you like me to unlock the door Ma'am?"
"Indeed. Chop chop." Alex rolled her eyes, putting in her codes, slipping the four keys in the keyholes and triggering the commands to pull back the last of the bars for the door. She opened the door, like the gentlewoman she was, which Grant accepted and entered the more secluded prison. Once she was inside, Cat heard the door shut. "Hurry up agent." Perhaps she sounded a little too impatient.
She walked over to the set of stools at the wall, taking one and purposely dragging it over to make as much noise as she could. Grant knew the Director had the helmet that cancelled out the louder sounds, to avoid damaging Agent Scully's eardrums. Once before the massive chamber, with clear impenetrable glass, she sat down and studied the group. "I was aware of the two of you. I had even been informed of the newest born of yours. Did you really think that I...Cat Grant..would not know a fraud when I see one? Captain Lance informed me about her team's discovery of Superman and his family on another Earth. My beautiful, selfless ray of sunshine was told that Clark, Lois and their two sons were quite well and visiting a vibrant red speedster."
Danvers was floored. This was the reason for Kara's quiet state earlier. This news. "Superman would never hurt Supergirl. He was rather hurt by the betrayal of a friend that he had sent to look after his cousin. I shouldn't be surprised, that you two would find a way to bring a different Lois and Kal-El to this Earth. Did you promise some protection for their two daughters?"
The Director looked at the four people, restrained by shackles and metal belts to the four chairs in the center of the box. She glanced up and noticed the warm red sun lamps, making sure to stay out of their glow. Sure enough..the President had been busy down here. Two figures sat sobbing and pleading, blood pooling at their bare feet. Danvers watched Catherine reload the chamber with a set of cartridges, specially made, for Grant's delight. She motioned to Alex to open the door to the box as she flicked off the safety and stepped inside, the moment the wall slid back. "Chop chop." She hated that little habit of the President's.
They walked over to where both sisters were strapped down in their chairs, shaking so bad they were rattling the frames. "Would you like to test out my prized rounds agent?" Cat offered the gun and Alex gladly accepted. She could already see the carefully crafted thing of beauty and she was almost certain that Lena had been the one to come up with the precious gem. "The muzzle velocity of my rounds is four times what any military branch carries. Those tips can be quite painful. Care for a go?"
Alex smiled and she was definitely asking for a bigger gun. Sure she loved her all time favorite and she was a walking fireball in itself, but there was something about combat toys that really just got her engine purring. She stepped over and smirked at the signs hanging over both sisters. Bitch one and Bitch two. Maggie must have been down here then. Knowing exactly who the first one was, she walked closer and aimed for the elbow. "That might hurt." Cat grinned and basked in the gagged screams that erupted when two shots went off. "Oooooooo..that had to hurt. That sounded like a break at the humerus." She chuckled as Danvers fired two more on the other arm of Megan's. "Guess she won't be able to feed herself now."
Danvers wasn't done. She lowered the gun, so the muzzle was lined up with one of the former FBI agent's kneecaps. "Pardon the agent, it's been a long week." Grant shut her eyes, still smiling, hearing the pain filled screams when Alex shot holes through one kneecap then the other. Once she opened them, both arms and legs were barely hanging on at the four places shot to high hell. "Oh dear. Did you know...that both Keira and Scully are my girls. One bubbly reporter and one incredibly gifted soldier. I don't take kindly to those that hurt the people in my circle."
Alex fired the rest of the rounds in the clip, shooting off some toes in the process and shattering both ankles. When she looked up at Cat, the President held two more loaded clips and the smiled grew wider for the Director. "Looks like the fun won't end for a while." Alex was looking forward to it. Revenge...best served...in courses..
Kara blinked, gasped and looked around. CATCO. What was she doing here? Glancing down she saw the mounds of paperwork, left by no doubt Snapper. Her eyes flicked down at the cream colored coat, hung over her chair. What was she doing here? Kara felt a sudden thirst and glanced at the corner of her desk.
"Lemonade." This seemed...familiar. Kara heard screams, tension emulating from her. She was just about to slip away, when Lena walked towards her. More screams filled her ears even as her name was spoken.
"Kara?" She met those beautiful emeralds and felt herself sinking into them, pulling at her like no other could. The moment she looked away, the realization hit her.
"That's right." Kara spun around and noticed she wasn't in CATCO anymore. She was far above the clouds, the day she flew Fort Rozz into space. "The bravery, to save a planet so many from other worlds found fruitless." She watched as her body fell into the darkness, taking one last breath before she succumbed. "No foe, did you kill with your own hands." The battle between her and Rhea, the poisoning she fought to rise. "Faced with the greatest darkness, the mirrored image." Kara felt the loss of her strength, told by the Earth X that she didn't need her own heart, that she wasn't using. "You struggled with your demons, your fears, even your failures." The night, that Holiday, where Reign had struck her down and nearly killed her.
"Why am I seeing this?" Kara asked, looking around with her eyes widening. Before her, was the day she was sent away by a mother that ended up turning on her, abandoned her and stopped believing in her. "Why…"
"Because.." She heard the voice closer and looked to who appeared beside her. It was..her. "...we have risen each moment of our life, the first real rescue..of our sister. We have strived to be this hope. We refused to fail. For if we did, before those we protected, they would have nothing left to fight for. We give and give, no matter how much it takes out of us. You know it, as I know it, we are tired. We are spent. Our wings have wilted. Our strength has left us. We gave the last of us, to the one we sought to save. It is time, we rest."
Kara hated what she was hearing, but knew it was all true. Had she, had they…
"It's true." It was time she admitted that. "Are we...are we...dead?"
"No. Death does not come to take us yet. We will need what our beloved bears. We need...to let the angels we have saved and redeemed, be our wings now. Let them, lift you now Kara. Let yourself be given hope. Hope..by them…"
Kara felt an immense rush at her, surrendering to it and shutting her eyes to be taken where she was meant to. Where Rao, was sending her..
Alex held onto her sister's hand, smiling as those beautiful angelic cerulean sky blues were brought back to her view. She wasn't ready to call anyone in. Danvers wanted this time with Kara, watching her blink and smile back at her. The blonde was about to speak, but Alex stopped her and pointed to her mouth. A slight groan and gaze upward told her the irritation her sister had with an oxygen mask on. 'You scared me sis.'
Kara looked into the warm browns of Alex's and read all the emotions that flickered through those hues. She went to squeeze her hand and found her kryptonian strength lacking. 'The green kryptonite in your body is gone.'
"You could have saved yourself Kar." Alex slowly took the mask off.
"Ma...ggie...would have...die...died."
"Where were you sis?"
"Lots...of places." Kara told her watching the Director roll her eyes. "The day at CATCO. The first time I flew far too high. So many places."
"You...you died Kar. We had to put you in a tank like what you were put in, when you were taken down by Reign. This is the first day, you haven't needed the breathing machine. The first time in a month, your body is warm to the touch again. Kar...don't leave me again.." Alex fell forward with her head on her sister's stomach, breaking out in heavy sobs. She had been praying to Rao every day and every night, to give her back her sister. Every day, for four weeks then five, begging for him to release her. Finally...he had let her come home..
Hours had passed with information upon information, update after update and with each thing told to her, Kara too found herself thanking Rao. She had figured out, when explaining to Alex about her dream, that it was him. Kara knew it, deep down she knew that he had come to her to remind her that not everything came with a yellow sun. It didn't matter if you had super powers or not. All you needed...was the Heart of a Hero within.
Alex had yelled to the snoring crowds through the penthouse, with Kara finally noticing that she wasn't at the AOD. Once that realization hit, the aquarium of her stomach announced itself. Upon the growl, everyone's head turned from the noise. Shortly after, Alex helped Kara walk out and into the living room. Their family all stood, showing the love and support for their caped hero. Loved ones surrounded her and Kara felt each and every one of their hearts, through their hugs and smiles.
Little Roselyn had ran over to her mama and given her the biggest hug she could. It had been a tad difficult for Kara to lift her up and right away she noticed the bracelet on her daughter's wrist. Her wife had explained that their adorable Little One had been having a few..minor incidents, the worst being the sneeze that blew out a window. Kara laughed at that and noticed a bracelet of her own, understanding why hers matched her wife's. She felt a gentle touch on her arm. 'Longevity bonding bracelet Kar. Your wife also had the cure to lead, compliments of Imra.' The information could be processed later, along with a huge thank you to Saturn Girl. Right now, this is what Kara needed most.
Despite everyone's complaints, Alex had put on her sister's repulsively favorite band and two songs in, it was changed by a Speedy recovery. The Danvers saw Sara and Thea walk in, holding baked goodies and wine. Kara had found a way to sneak over, snatch the basket of cookies and other treats, then try to make it to the couch with the goods. Roselyn, even with her dampener bracelet on, had ran over and stole it right out of her mama's hands. Kara pouted, Alex laughed and Maggie videotaped the whole ordeal.
Two hours later, Rose had wiped the floor with each and every single one of them on any game they played. Brainy had returned from his off world trip. With Nia's arm linked with his, they came in with more baked treats. Rose got her hands on those too, sharing with only one person. Ruby.
Maggie announced that her and Lucy had found out that they were having a girl. The Captain wanted to give away the name, but it had been the Co Director to. Ellie Xandria Sawyer. Ellie for the House of El. Xandria for how Alex saved both Lucy and Maggie the very first time she met them. It was honoring both their biggest heroes, rescuing them from a darkness they had faced in silence and seclusion. Before the Danvers, they were lost. Alex and Kara had found them.
They had brought out the bottles of wine, made coffee and tea, as the Co Director had told everyone the story of her and Danvers first hello on the training field. Ruby kept an ear out for little Rose, who was asleep in her room. Lucy explained their first sparring match on the mat. Alex had commented that wasn't how she remembered it. Kara however, was listening attentively. Despite the side remarks from Alex, Lucy went on about how she knocked the bad ass agent on her ass. Her Director shot off with how she dropped little miss stripes flat on her face.
Maggie and Sam were passing the bag of chips back and forth, far too engulfed in the story to support their wives. Lucy and Alex had turned at one point to see two empty bags at their feet, with a third being shared until both froze at the glares. Lena had gotten up and played hostess, until Nia offered to help. Kara was sitting in the giant fluffy bean bag with a plate of cookies. Ruby snuck two off the plate. Jehna took the whole plate and ran. Brainy tried to explain the physics behind the theft and Alex ended up throwing a pillow at his head.
Three hours, a little competitive gaming and a pillow fight later, everyone had settled down to watch a movie. Sam had pulled Lucy away afterward, handing her a bonding bracelet. She explained how Maggie made the design for it and the Co Director cried in Sam's arms. They talked about everyone hanging up their armored suits for a while, since the AOD agents weren't taking on anything they couldn't handle. Lena and Alex had joined them out on the patio, discussing a plan to restore Kara's powers. Maggie and Nia had joined them outside. Ruby had come out after, informing them that Kara and Amelia were talking while Susan and Julee were at a rather serious game of checkers. She had also brought up a point that no one had thought of.
She explained that, ever since that first plane rescue, her Aunt Kara had sacrificed day in and day out all of herself. She had put her life at risk, every moment she was out fighting. No one wanted to see their greatest angel, lose that part of herself for good. Ruby had reminded her other mom about how Alex had trained her, with no powers, making Kara that hero without the yellow sun additions. Danvers had told them about the time Kara had no powers for a day. She had gone in a bank and talked someone out of their darkness. She had saved lives, without that kryptonian side.
Kara watched from the window, part of her wishing to hear what they were talking about, but enjoying not being able to for once. It was an adjustment sure, but she was a hero no matter what. She didn't need a red and blue suit. She didn't need the family crest. Kara had exactly what made her the hero they all saw her as.
She had love and she had family. Kara had been blessed, the moment Rao brought her to Earth. Sure, there would be days when things weren't always the greatest. There would be times that were far too precious to take for granted. It had taken her far too long to know exactly what they were to her. That yellow sun might have given her a special gift, but every single one of these people, Rao had bestowed upon her, gave Kara her brightest light. It was a light she showed to them every day they were in her life. That light...called HOPE_

- - - This has certainly been a journey I never expected to take. It had started out as a way to unleash all the frustrations and 'what ifs' the show hadn't given us. So many opportunities the writers of our favorite program, neglected to offer to the viewers. Then, this became something I had grown to love escaping into, with each word written and each picture painted. I never would have known how to keep the gallery going, if it hadn't been for a reader that had reached out and became a friend I hadn't seen coming into my life. He has been my biggest fan here and shown me a way to improve with each chapter how I could build this into something more.
For the viewers here, I know most of you are writers too. So take a moment, sit back and remember this:
We look upon a blank canvas and we wonder what should be there. We pick up a brush and we begin to paint, what comes to us naturally. It is then, we find our stride and we let that creativity be the artist. No matter what you begin to paint, never think that you are coming up with something someone else won't like. Think about what comes from within and let that be the muse, to give yourself over to a vibrant imagination. The artiste is the one that can see without looking, hear without sounds and feel without needing to reach out and touch. When you do that, you can do anything_
Thank you, for stepping up and buckling in, to travel beside me on this glorious journey. From A Week's War, to 7 Turns and finally 4 Seasons, this road continues on. Rest assured, in the future I will give you more. Until then...until next time..
