Kara sends Mon-El a text on her way to the DEO that she'd like to talk. She was out late with Alex, didn't get back till after 2a.m. She stopped by her place for her uniform before going to the base. Ready for sleep at long last before this grueling mission hits. Kara approaches the balcony.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" He quipped. "It is pretty early morning after all?"

Looking at him surprised, "I didn't think you'd still be up, thought you'd get my message when you got up... and yeah... Alex and I went out for a treat to Chicago." She lands in front of him.

"I got the text prepping my team. We are going with the agents. We are back up if needed. We have to be careful about changing the future. You are wearing DEO gear for the mission?" He saw she was in the black agent uniform that Alex and the other agents wore.

She shakes her head, "I wish you guys wouldn't be coming with us," Kara runs her fingers through her hair, "and I'm sorry I slapped you," she looks up at him, seeing there's no marking. Probably would have had to punch him to see anything behind.

He looked down. "The action didn't hurt. The feeling about how I feel about you did. If you don't have those feelings anymore that's fine. You made it clear how you feel now."

Kara puts her hands into her pockets, "the truth is, I still do love you Mon-El," she looks down, closing her eyes. "When my team, Imra included, got back from space and I saw you both embrace I felt jealousy... she has what I don't." She self consciously wraps her arms around her waist. "I saw a happy couple."

"Yeah well that happiness has dissolved since I got back here. She knows how I feel about you, and she respects you. She just doesn't understand how hard this is for me." He looked at her carefully, "You still love me? Then why did you slap me? You do realize that is the opposite of loving someone right?"

Kara looks up at him, "I respect her as well, she is a great person and I just didn't want to ruin your marriage." Placing her hands onto the railing and looking up at the stars, "I felt... I... why is this so damn hard?" She looks at her hands. "It took time to accept that you two were together... I had accepted that I wasn't going to have you and then I hear that you love me over your wife. I felt like I'd destroyed something that became special and got angry and that's why I slapped you," she angles herself to look at him.

He just looked at her. Nothing but love still in his eyes. "I don't want this to be a difficult painful thing. We still love each other. Imra knows it. There if there is a chance for us, then they are leaving without me. She knows we were together and when we got married neither of us ever thought I would end up on Earth again, especially in your time."

"But we needed to be here to help with the world killers. I saw you got hurt and I couldn't be there to stop it. I felt bad knowing I couldn't intervene your smack down. Alex was mad when I told her you would be okay. She knew at that point I knew you were getting hurt. I am so sorry I couldn't warn you." He wanted to hug her, started to come forward, then stopped himself.

Kara purses her lips, still feeling uncertain of pretty well everything. She looks down at the memory, "yeah... not my best moment for the whole world to see... to get beaten at full strength," she looks up at him. "Yeah that sounds like Alex... she felt guilty for pushing me to be alien in the fight and forget my human side..."

She reaches up to touch his face, "you couldn't intervene and risk altering time... I don't blame you and honestly knowing in advance would have probably gotten me hurt more. At least I tried... really tried against her," she holds her hand in the air, unsure of how to interact with him. She closes her eyes, opening her mouth to say something more before clenching her hands in frustration. "I love you Mon-El, I always will."

He grabs her and hugs her to him. "We have a bond that will never break. That is why I am divorcing Imra. I can't stay married and be true to myself. True to you." He pulls up her chin to look him in the face. "They are leaving without me."

Kara feels herself melt into him, she didn't realize how badly she missed the comfort. Wrapping her arms around him.

"I love you Kara Zor- El Danvers, I think I fell for you the minute I saw you when I woke up."

She nods, "you grabbed me by my neck and threw me I recall," she wants to give him a jab for it still.

"I know I fell deeply and uncontrollably when I was locked in the cell cuz you thought I was trying to assassinate the President. I was trying to fight it by joking about the ale you may recall? Which I heard you and Alex had an entire pitcher of - at my favorite alien bar. How did she handle that powerful ale?"

She holds him at arm's length and smiles, "we had a good time... very much drunk... gosh," she rubs at her eyes and looks up at him.

"You need to get to sleep."

"I should get to the sun bed, need to be fully rejuvenated for tomorrow," she turns away from him and pauses.

"Isn't that thing uncomfortable?" he mused.

"True but if I'm to be at full health for the mission, I'll do it. Please... don't come as back-up tomorrow... any of your team. Everyone is already scared enough for me, I don't want to risk you, Imra or Brainiac 5..." She turns to him briefly. "And thank you."

"I need to be there, for back up if you need me. J'onn has stated in his plans. Maybe Imra can disrupt the sorceress with her telepathy."

She wets her lips, "okay," she sighs feeling defeated. Kara starts to walk away and stops herself again. Berating herself for doing this time and again, trying to figure herself out and Mon-El and this mission. She turns around and hurries up to him, wrapping her arms around him for one last bit of comfort. Later she won't allow herself to feel what she is now. Needing one last boost to her self esteem.

"We are getting a divorce," he pulled her chin up, and kissed her passionately and deeply on the lips. "I love you and nothing will change that." He told her after pulling away. "Get some sleep."

She could feel insecurities melting as he held her and she felt her heart flutter at the kiss. However still feeling guilty knowing he's still with Imra and the last thing she wants to do is hurt her further. "Thank you, I love you too... good night." She finally turns and heads to the med bay where her sun bed awaits her.

When she got there she saw her twin already asleep on one of the two beds they had. She saw a note on hers, that was in Kryptonese again.

Looking at it quizzically Kara picks it up while sitting on the rim of the sun bed.

When she opened it- it read:

Dearest Kara,

I thank Rao for what you are doing for me, helping to rescue my husband and stopping the threats.

You are stronger than me, everything I was and am now, I am a broken soul. I n think I have been for years.

Thank you for giving my life back to me.

Love the other Kara Zor-El

Kara looks at her twin and feels her hands tremble; she closes her eyes and lies down. 'I hope your right about me being strong... I have to be tomorrow. I just hope no one else gets hurt any further,' she thinks before slowly relaxing and feeling her mind drift off.


Kara Zor-El Queen woke up the next day and saw her twin next to her still asleep on another sun bed. She knew she had to have gotten to bed late as she had gotten to bed past midnight herself.

She couldn't stop thinking about Oliver and if he was alright. She will never forget what happened to them in that dungeon, or the darkness her other twin showed to her and her husband.

But as she sat there, attempting to get the sleep out of her, she realized how bad she was, and thanks to this good and pure soul sleeping beside her, she was able to see the error of her ways and repent. Could she turn the Sorceress as Kara Danvers turned her? She wondered. Her stomach growled and she headed to the mess hall for breakfast.

Rubbing at her eyes, Kara sits up to hit her head, opening her eyes she quickly remembers where she is and swings her legs over the side. She notices her twin isn't in bed anymore and looks at the time, "late breakfast is still breakfast."

She walks to the cafeteria and piles on the pancakes and looks around for Alex. 'Must be sleeping in,' she thinks as she spots her twin and pours the syrup on. A carton of orange juice and sits down next to her twin.

"How're you doing?" She cuts into the stack and starts to shovel it into her mouth. Glancing around for Mon-El or Imra or anyone else.

J'onn walks over and touches Kara's shoulder, "you've both got 30 minutes, then it's briefing and then we gear up." He looks at her concerned before looking at her twin and stepping over to her. "You'll be coming back with us after, I'm confident your husband is still alive and we'll treat him straight away."

"Thank you. He has been getting tortured all this time. I know it I am sure you saw him during recon. How was he?"

J'onn looks at her gravely, "he's holding on, he keeps talking about how you're coming for him. He hasn't given in." He won't tell her anymore, he doesn't want to get her more upset.

"I am glad he knows I am coming. Honestly we may need to stay here for him to heal. I know he will hate it but he is going to need therapy."

Giving a curt nod, "I agree, he'll need support from everyone, now I need to get back to preparations. Enjoy your meal." He walks away to go to the main computer.

Kara looks at her, "I need you to do something for me... but only if you're comfortable with it." On her last bites of pancakes.

"What is that? You got my letter?"

Nodding, "yes... I just hope your right about me," she looks at her. "You mentioned how I changed you and right now I'm being told to not try to change the Sorceress. And I know she's done terrible things but... knowing she was once good... deep down I wonder if she could be turned back? I know it can't be attempted right away but when she's injured... you know?" She rubs the back of her neck, "maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part."

"No it's not; I was thinking the same thing. You see because the dark faerie attacked her and changed her, I would think there has to be a way to change her back. But I will be honest; because of what I tried to do- she hates me. I plan on trying to talk to her, but I am not sure either of us will get through to her." She looked at her twin's plate. "You should go get eggs and bacon. You need protein besides the carbs." She smiled at her.

"You know, I know we are the same person, and that's just strange in all sorts of ways. But I feel like your twin Kryptonian sister. Do you feel that way too?"

Kara nods and spots Mon-El on the other end sitting with his team and Winn. Looking back at her she smirks, "Yeah... it must feel strange for everyone to see us together all the time, eh?" She giggles and points, "see the guy with the beard over there?"

She looks over, "Yes."

Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear, "he's my ex... I forced him to leave Earth or he'd die. He came back with this team to help with the World Killers and married to the girl next to him... we talked last night and he's going to divorce her to be with me again because," she runs her fingers through her hair and looks at her. "I still love him and he confessed he still loves me."

"Oh that's sweet! I can tell you'd be a cute couple. Yeah what is it about us and cute guys? Have you seen my husband? Rao!" So he's not human? The only aliens that were forced to leave were Daxamite. Oh Rao! Is he the prince I heard about?"

Kara face palms when her cheeks go red, "I've met another version of him. First time he met me he hated me... but he apologized. His first alien invasion and thus first time working with an alien, we're cool now." She shakes her head, "he's a Daximite, and yes he is and I changed him."

"Stories I have heard about you and the prince of Daxamite. What is it with you and changing people?" She giggled, it felt good to talk with well her.

Kara blushes more, "I don't know! Honestly... ugh and they're coming with us as back-up. I don't want them getting hurt."

"Don't you think it is beyond strange that we are the exact same Kara from Krypton yet two totally different personalities."

Looking at her sideways, "I'm not surprised at all, it's nice having a conversation with myself without the mirror and not knowing what'll come out of your mouth," she busts out laughing and looks up at Alex walking in. "Time for those eggs and lots and lots of bacon," she winks and gets up to head her older sister off.

"Hey you! You stayed here last night didn't you?" She asked starting her tray.

"Yes, figured I needed to be fully rejuvenated after our night and I wanted to talk to you about it actually, and..." she looks at Alex's hand.

"Enjoying talking to yourself?" She smirked. "Why are you looking at my hand? Its fine I did not break it on you."

Kara nods and bites her bottom lip, "can I talk to you privately? It won't take long."

"Of course. Where do you want to talk? It's not very private here in the cafeteria."

"Over in the corner by the stairs there," Kara suggests and tries to act like normal as she walks with her. Hands in her pockets as she stops and turns to her older sister. "Alex... is there something that I've done to upset you?"

"No why? We had a blast together last night! Why would you think I am upset?"

Holding her hands up defensively, "I had to ask... the thing is... you've never attempted to hit me for making a light jab, at least not as hard as needing the comment of hitting a wall," she looks at her carefully. "Maybe I'm looking into this too much but we don't typically resort to violence and I think if I had no powers the punch probably would have hurt and you'd feel guilty but it's me feeling guilty for hurting you and..." she sighs, trying not to ramble on.

"No I just got carried away in all the excitement. It was probably the joking that caused me to punch you, knowing full well you wouldn't feel it. So I wanted you to feel it which caused me to have to hit harder. I love you and we were just messing around." She sobered up, "I won't lie to you. I am worried about this mission. I think last night was just blowing off steam, you know nerves before the mission." She went in for a hug. "We good? By the way, hitting things for me, is how I blow off steam or anxiety. You hit cars sometimes, like punching bags!" She laughed.

Kara reaches up and cups Alex's face in her hands, "I won't let anything happen to you, okay?" She smiles. "Oh and I meant the risk of you puking on a passerby, not on me," she giggles.

"That's why I smacked you! The puke statement! I don't get airsick Missy."

Returning the hug, "we're good and before the gossip train hits you... Mon-El is divorcing Imra... we talked last night and... I told him I still love him."

"Wow! Okay, and so he is staying when the team leaves?"

Pursing her lips together and glancing at him, "he is..."

"I am so happy for you! Everyone knows you love him!" She went in for a tight hug so her Sister could feel it.

She gives her a hug and rubs her back, "Imra knows too and according to him she understands... though the last time I told you about him you told me to stay away," she laughs. Kara places her hand onto her shoulder, "Alex... thinking about the amount of cheese and beer in your stomach had me thinking if I flew too fast it would all come back up!"

"That would not have happened! How do you fly on a full stomach by the way?"

Holding her at arms length, "girl of steel... steel stomach?"

She just laughed very hard and loud at that. She grabbed her sister for yet another hug.

"Get a room Danvers..." Vasquez joked walking by. The two sisters looked at each other and laughed out loud all over again.

Looking back at the room, "I'll get into my Supergirl suit... then grab eggs and a pile of bacon and then it's briefing time... remember what you said at our house?" She turns to Alex before walking away.

"What?" She asked getting ready to sit in the meeting room.

"You and I can get through anything together," Kara quoted and hurried away to get changed so she could eat more.

"Exactly!" She called out to her.

Alex sat in the meeting, just finishing up her breakfast. She saw Kara's twin, and offered her a seat. She still felt strange interacting with her Sister's twin.

"How hard do you think this is going to be Agent Danvers?" Kara Zor-El Queen asked.

"Please just call me Alex. On a scale of 1-10? A 9 or 10." Alex admitted truthfully.

Kara nodded, "I know what we are going up against. I am not sure we will get out alive."

"J'onn and I met up after recon. It is going to be difficult." She agreed.

Kara comes walking in with a piece of bacon getting sucked in, the last piece to be exact. Though the agents know better than to think anything else will happen, she sits down on the other side of Alex, smiling at the two interacting. "Hey it'll go over well, I'm ready and bring some of the awesome!" She says trying to bring in positivity.

J'onn stands at the table tapping on his tablet with Winn standing next to him. "Agent Schott has special small gauntlets for you ladies to share and I'll have one as well. There will also be these," he gestures to Winn who holds up lead bottomed lanterns.

"If he won't go near you right away, toss each of these into a corner and they'll bring up a containment area where his speed will drop to zero!" He says proudly.

"Lead slows him down too?" Alex asked.

Winn shakes his head, "no, the lead bottoms are to keep the machines to land or roll to be right side up. Just push in the inner button on the top on each," he does a demonstration and the thing glows red when on. "They have to be within 25-30 feet of one another but they'll last for two hours."

J'onn brings up a 3D hologram of the place, "Here is where we'll be entering from," he points. "Now, I'll bring team Supers down first, to the main hallway in the basement. I would bring you directly to the torturer room but we need to handle the enemies one at a time. Otherwise the Sorceress could take out those machines before we can take action. Your group will advance," he indicates, "there's a few rooms and hallways on the way to the room.

"Take your time, I don't know where her room is and we don't know if they'll be all together or not. Stay sharp," he reminds and then points at a spot further to the right. "I'll take my team over here, we are going to investigate her chamber, maybe catch her asleep or just off guard, in any case I won't put all my eggs into one basket. We can't all go to the same location, we have to split up but we'll be in constant radio contact. Radios will be on at all times," he looks around at all the faces.

"Mon-El's team will stay by the gate and inform of what's being reported. If anyone is badly hurt, you report so medical can have what we need when we return. I want this organized.. there's of course the chance that radio waves are disrupted... expect the unexpected. We take Dr. Wells alive, the Scorceres will not go down without a fight and I expect she will go down trying to kill us."

"But Director! I thought the two Supers are going to heat vision him and blast him? He deserves to be taken out Sir."Alex argued angrily.

"I concur!" Kara Queen stated. "He was the main torturer with me and my husband, and he nearly killed Kara Danvers! If anyone should be turned, it is the Sorceress. I was the cause for her hostility towards us. I want to try to reason with her." The general spoke up, acting like a General.

She stands up. "I am quite serious about my intentions. I feel I owe it to her. I owe nothing to Dr. Wells!"

"I know Dr. Livingston told me not to try and change her... but I'm with my twin. She was once good, and like other's, I believe we should explore the option of trying to save her," she glances at Alex, expecting her to give a look of disapproval.

J'onn watches both Kara's carefully, "he will be punished for his crimes accordingly. We will not sink to his level and give him an easy way out with the heat vision. We are better than him," he wets his lips and recalls his Kara on her stomach being operated on. Closing his eyes he tightens his hands, "if he gives no other choice... if you have no other alternative, then he's to be killed. But," he looks at the three ladies. "I cannot stress this enough, you are good people... do not go dark for revenge on him."

He stands up straight, "given what I've seen of her and Lillian... I believe she is beyond saving and I do not wish for you ladies to risk your lives any further with her." He looks at Lillian.

"I will not hold back!" She growled, "He is one person who deserves to die! He deliberately humiliated me and my husband! We could not have been more vulnerable! We were in the shower when he kidnapped us!" She yelled, now very angry.

"I did not want that out, but if I have to give up my privacy to this room to be on my side, then so be it." She looked around the room, eyes glowing from anger; she blinked to get them back to normal. Tears started instead, hot down her cheeks. "I know he is still hanging in chains as I speak very exposed, a beaten and broken man. Wells dies!" She eyes J'onn fiercely.

He studies her closely, he grips the table tightly and is thankful that he isn't as strong as Supergirl or he'd break it. J'onn doesn't have to picture anything, the mere idea of her or both of them in a predicament has his blood boil. He keeps his face stoic, but they can no doubt see the vein that is ready to burst from his temple.

He swallows a hard lump, "against my professional judgment. You may kill her, however as a personal thing... our Kara doesn't. She doesn't kill, she doesn't watch," he eyes Alex to be sure she is on the same page. He looks at the General, "I am sorry about what you endured... is everything else clear?" He looks around the room.

"That was his dagger that went into both of us!" She raged. "I am not killing The Sorceress! I am killing Wells!" She snarls. "The Sorceress I am going to try to save. She hates me, and I don't blame her. I don't care how much you feel it is a lost cause. I am still going to try."

Kara sits back and hugs herself, the images quite vivid in her mind. She watches her twin and all she wants to do is give her a hug, but she knows that what she needs is to settle things.

J'onn puts his eyes back on Overgirl, "if it comes down to my girls getting killed or the Sorceress, it will be her!" He states and stands up straight. "The situation is dire enough, now everyone suit up!"

The meeting is adjourned, and Kara Zor-El Queen is shaking.

Kara stands up and places her hands onto her twins shoulders. "I'm sorry," she says quietly.

"Are you okay?" Alex asked concerned.

Overgirl shook her head. "No," she said quietly, "I am not okay. I am mad as hell at the Director for making me confess what really happened. Now I think I need therapy..." She starts to walk off.

Winn walks over and hands over the small gauntlets, his face is red, "make him pay," he whispers and looks at her.

Kara gives her shoulders a squeeze, "I know he didn't mean to... maybe if he'd of had an idea he wouldn't have made that decision. He... was trying to make a detached decision from us. And I know we've always worked to bring our targets in for questioning." She looks at her, "I'm not giving any excuses, honest."

She looks over her shoulder after pulling away from the two sisters. "He dies." Is all she said and walked out of the room to get ready.


Things are getting intense! What do you think of both sides argument? How do you think this is going to unfold?
