Chapter 4: The Erasure

"Imra, come here. There's something you should know." Brainy called Imra to the center of their ship. He had discovered something related her sister.

"What is it, Brainy?" said Imra, approaching him on the deck. She looked at him serious intentions.

"I found your sister." Brainy revealed.

"You found her!" she exclaimed in surprise. She couldn't believe that he had found her sister, so she told him to recheck his calculations. He argued that he was a 12th-level intellect and that he didn't need reconsiderations. He was certain that he had detected her sister.

"Well, where is she?" she asked with utter enthusiasm.

"Yes, she's not actually here." Brainy replied which lowered her enthusiasm.

"What do you mean that she's not here?"

"I mean that I found where she is, just that she is not in this era." He explained distinctly.

"How come?" her enthusiasm turned into sudden worry. "But didn't you track her in this century?"

"I did but I also said that the results were not a hundred percent confirmed." He mentioned.

"Well then where and in what era is she?"

"She's in the 25th century. In Berlin." he informed.

Imra was so certain that she would find her sister in that century but that hope was futile. She had promised her parents that she would bring her sister back home. She was present in the wrong moment.

"What do you say we do?" Brainy interrupted her thoughts.

"We go to the 25th century and get my sister back." She replied with thorough determination.

"But Imra, it would affect the timeline greatly. My calculations are certain and a hundred percent accurate." He notified her. "If we go to the 25th century, then it would change the future. The Legion will be present but Mon-El will no longer remain its founder. It would be like nothing ever happened to him."

Imra took a long pause at this. She wanted to get her sister back but she could lose Mon-El. She had promised her mother that no matter what happens, she will not fail to bring her sister home. She had to take this risk in order to keep her promise.

"Okay, I get it. But I can't break the promise I made to my mum." She tried to persuade Brainy. "Brainy, if I don't get her back… We have to get her."

"But Imra,"

"Brainy, you said that Legion will exist yet but Mon-El won't be included. I'm able to risk that."

""But that's not your decision to make." He argued.

"I'm sorry, Brainy, but please. I can't do this if you don't support me." She tried to convince him. He agreed to it but there was a part that regretted his decision.

"How are you going to break it to Mon-El?" he asked.

"I'm not going to. I'll just erase his memory."

Imra reached to the D.E.O. She was looking everywhere for Mon-El. She couldn't find him anywhere. She saw Winn at the deck and asked him if he knew where Mon-El was. He said that he was in the training room. She ran to the mentioned room.

She discovered him hitting at the target and practicing. He was so frustrated and confused of his feelings that he noticed nothing around him and kept on hitting the target continually.

"Mon-El!" she called out to him.

He turned around to find her. What was he supposed to say after the way he stormed out that moment where he admitted his feelings for Kara? He remained silent for a moment to let her continue.

"Mon-El," she said looking down at her feet as she crossed her arms, "I found my sister."

Mon-El lifted his head up and bit his lower lip and gasped. "Oh, well, congratulations. Now you can finally get her back." He said with zero keenness.

"Look, Mon-El, I'm sorry," she said as her eyes tried to search his, "I really am."

"No, Imra, an apology won't mend it." He said rising up, in a moderately flashy voice. "You lied to me."

"I told you - I had no choice." She argued.

"You did something selfish. I never complained of coming back here because I knew it would be a great risk. It could change the timeline. I didn't want to be that guy. It's not what Kara would've wanted me to do. So I didn't. But then you tell me about the mission and I agree." He broke down with pain in his voice. "And it was all a lie. OUR MARRIAGE IS A LIE!"

She heard him with guilt reflecting in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Mon-El… again."

She placed her fingers on her forehead and looked inside his mind. She could feel the guilt in his mind; and the grief and sadness. It was difficult for her to just erase everything, but for her sister, she had to. And so she proceeded with it. She didn't erase it all – just the part of her existence and him establishing Legion. She erased the memory of their marriage but kept the part where he was still a hero.

He stood static and rooted to the spot as if he was daydreaming. She escaped from the moment and fled to the ship.
