When she woke up, Kara took the time to think. Was it a good idea to go to work like a normal day while her uncle was on the loose? She didn't know. What about flying all over the country to find him? No, that was a bad idea. If she finds him she would be alone and the DEO would be too far away to help her in time. Plus, if Non decided to attack the city, no one would protect it. In the end Kara admited to herself that it was for the better to go to work and wait for the DEO to find Non.

Kara got up and went straight to the bathroom. A quick shower later, her mind was a little bit clearer. When the blonde entered her kitchen, she found her sister, the head in the fridge.

"What are you looking for?" Kara asked starting the coffee machine

"Milk." Alex responded still searching.

"Don't bother, I'm out."

"Seriously!" the older sister complained closing the door.

"But I have sticky buns."

"Of course you do..." Alex said sitting next to her sister.

"Did you have a good night?"

"Nope. But it was certainly better than alone at my place."

"Same here." the blonde admitted

A few minutes of silence and a box of sticky buns later, Kara stood up and took her purse.

"I have to go to work. Call me if there is anything new."

"I will... And Kara?" Alex started making her sister turn. "Be careful."

"You too." the blonde added with a smile before leaving

The morning went really fast for Kara. A lot of work to do as it was the first day of the week. The young woman didn't mind at all. At least she had her head occupied. Two hours after leaving her place, Alex had called Kara to complain about Astra. The general had made a scene because she wanted to patrol over the desert but no one would let her leave. With her anger growing, she had punched a guard who had tried to calm her down. Hank had been forced to intervene and put her in a cell. But a few minutes later, Alex had freed her and now she had to babysit Astra, who was still complaining. It had been one of the only moment that made the Kara smile so far.

It was the middle of the afternoon now. Kara was focussed on paperwork when a voice distracted her:

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Kara Danvers."

The blonde looked up very serious when suddenly her face lighted up and a big smile settled on her face.

"Adam what are you doing here? Were we supposed to meet?" she looked confused at the clock on her desk, wondering if it was already the evening.

"No but I thought I would check up on you." the man smiled.

"I'm good." the young woman started standing up and coming closer. "Thanks for coming." she added then pressed her lips against his.

Not one second later, a loud and fake cough caught their attention and seperated them instantly. They both looked at the source and quickly found Cat Grant staring at them with sweet anger in her eyes. This made Kara very uncomfortable.

"Lets go somewhere private." Adam suggested taking Kara's hand.

"Euh... yes, yes. I know a place." she said guiding him to the elevator.

"So that's your private place? The roof?" Adam said following his girlfriend

"Yes. And it's also where I get change when Supergirl has to show up."

"Interesting." the young man said leaning foreward and kissing her with passion.

"For a second I thought your mother was the one with laser-eyes." Kara joked

"True. At least she have some mercy for her son. Speaking of which... You were right about Carter. I think he likes me."

"That's great, Adam! I told you so." Kara smirked cercling his neck

"Yeah I had to learn how to play Settlers of Catan but we're good. He was shy, and still is a little bit I think, but I really look foreward to know him better. I have to say, Cat was awesome. When I came back from your place, Carter was in his room and my mom was watching TV. She was so nervous."

"She must have been, she loves you both so much. You can't imagine how much she wanted this to go well."

"I have to admit, I was anxious too." Adam started. "Cat called Carter and intoduced us. It was weird but it fell normal too. Like we knew we were bonded somehow. Cat went to her office to give us privacy but Carter wanted to go in his room anyway. I think he doesn't like to talk in the living-room."

"It's more like he prefers to be in a safe environment and his room got to be the safest."

"After that, it was awkward as we didn't have much to talk about. So we began to play Settlers of Catan and everything came naturaly after that. It was so easy" he smiled

Kara smiled back at him and kissed him gently. She then turned towards the sun and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment.

"I like this place. This roof is like Carter's room for me. Here I get a full exposure to the sun. It help me think and relax. Plus, I like the view."

"Have a good look, Kara Zor-El." a voice Kara knew too well interumpted their happiness. "Because it will be the last" Non added flying mid air

Kara backed up fast, protecting Adam with her arms. In a split second, the young man heard a woosh and his girlfriend was now standing before him in the Supergirl suit.

"Get away from us!" Kara yelled ready to defend herself

"Only when you will be dead." Non spat

Kara took off and rushed over him, screaming. She landed a powerful punch on his jaw before her uncle could react. While Non was still away, Supergirl activated her earpiece.

"Alex! Non is at CatCo Plaza, on the roof."

"We're coming." the sister simply said.

That's when the older kryptonian showed up again and took Kara by surprise. Under the petrified body of Adam, Non used his heat-vision to destabilize his opponent and forced her to land. The lieutenant landed next to Kara and threw a punch in her stomach. Supergirl was expecting it and gasped as she managed to get quickly in a fighting position. She gave him an upercut and then continued with a serie of smaller punches in his face. At each punch, Non was gasping in pain and backing up as he felt the shock waves getting to his brain. Eventually, his legs gave up and he found himself kneeling before Kara, panting. That's when he regained his senses and used his powerful breath to send his niece crashing on the ground a few meters away. Non quickly got on top of her and kicked her in the ribs to prevent her from standing up. Kara cried out of pain when she felt her bones cracking under the pressure. He smiled as it reminded him of their fight in the park. Only this time, Supergirl was on her back. The older kryptonian bent over and started punching the Girl of Steel in the face.

Adam, who was watching the fight with terror in his eyes, couldn't resolve himself to leave. He had to know what was happening. Until now, the young man was petrified by the violence that was playing in front of him. But seeing Kara taking punches after punches activated something in his brain: a protectiv instinct. The young man gathered his courage and ran towards the two aliens, screaming with rage. Adam jumped on Non's back and tried to strangle him.

"Get off her!"

It only took a little effort for Non to get back in a standing position and grab the young man by his shirt. With a powerful turn, Non threw Adam off the building.

"No!" Kara screamed with horror as she was still wining her breath back.

The young superhero didn't wait any longer and forgot about her enemy, only to jump after her lover. Adam was screaming and waving his arms and legs, begging for something to hold, in vain.

"Got you!" Kara said relieved when she finally grabbed Adam.

The young man thightened his grip on the hero's cape and closed his eyes for a second. When Adam opened them again, Kara was lifting him to his mother's balcony. Panic came back on his face when he saw Non standing right behind them. "Watch out!" he screamed. But it was to late. The kryptonian used his super-breath on them. Kara had just the time to turn around so she could protect Adam when she felt her back smashing against the window and then on Cat's office floor.

"What the hell!" Cat yelled as she jumped off her seat. "Adam!"

The journalist ran towards the two intruders, incredulous, and walked on the shatered glass to finally join them. Her son was still panting when Supergirl tried to sit hersleft up, lifting Adam with her.

"Stay here." she ordered flying back to the roof before he could say anything.

"What happened? Are you ok?" Cat asked still coping with her son landing in her office in the arms of Supergirl.

The woman carefully took her son by the arm to help him.

"I-I-There's a fight up there an-and we were on the roof..."

"Ok, you need to sit and calm down."

"No! No I've to get back there! Kara is... She's still on the roof." He said as his panic hid his lie.

"Oh my god!" Cat gasped putting a hand over her mouth. "No, Adam you have to stay here it's too dangerous!" she reacted when she saw her son walking out of her office.

The young man was stopped when what looked like an explosion caught the attention of the entire floor. James and Winn were on their way to Cat's office when the noise made them stop too. They looked outside and saw Supergirl crashing her opponent through a building. That's when James and Winn took the initiative.

"Ok we have to evacuate the building." James said

"Agreed. Adam? Little help would be great." Winn added trying not to freak out.

The three man guided the other employees to the stairs and prevented anyone from taking the elevators. Last thing they needed was a replay from the earthquake. Cat was helping too by calling every floor to clear up the building.

"You have to go." Adam said walking in her office

"I will when everyone is safe. Including you."

"But-"

"No buts. It's like the Titanic. I'm the captain. I stay and help." Cat said determined to get everyone safe.

"I'll stay with you." Adam stated.

With the look on her son's face, Cat knew she wouldn't be able to win. Instead of arguing, she got back to her phone, thinking about her assistant trapped on the roof. Cat's heartbeat rised with the idea of the blonde alone, terrified and getting hurt.

Even if the woman didn't know the relation between her assistant and Supergirl, Cat couldn't be more right about how Kara was feeling. After punching Non through the building, the young hero had grabbed him by one leg and brought him back on CatCo's roof. She didn't want to get down on the street and endanger more people. The rage on Non's face was growing and so was the anger in Kara's heart. Seeing her boyfriend dropping in the air only made her hate against Non stronger. Supergirl used her heat-vision to plunge the older kryptonian deeper in the ground. But he fought back and now a laser-vision duel was happening. The two aliens were well rooted on their feet and none of them would give up. It was until Non managed to deflect Supergirl's beam and surprised her by doing so. The man rushed over her and punched the hero in the face to distract her.. Non was now behind his niece and blocked her between his arm. The two enemies lifted mid air before the older kryptonian used his secret weapon. Non took the kryptonite knife out of its scabbard and put it under Kara's throat. The young woman felt the sudden dizziness envelopp her and gasped in pain.

"Clever uh? Using a lead scabbard to block the kryptonite radiations." Non started. "You fought well, Kara Zor-El. But now it's time to die."

Kara closed her eyes waiting for the blade to enter her skin. It was over and she knew it. What could she do to save herself with the kryptonite weakening her? She felt sorry for Adam, Astra and Alex, sorry for the pain that her dead body would give them. The young woman felt also relieved that, with her death, the people she loved would be safe for at least a few days and it would buy them time to find a way to stop Non. A tear rolled down her cheek as she felt the cold blade pushing more against her skin.

"Non stop!" Kara heard giving her a light of hope.

Right after those two words, Non was sent flying away by Astra, freeing her niece. But without her powers, the young woman dropped on the ground and managed to brace herself for the impact. While she was falling, Kara heard a distinctive 'clink'. The young woman looked around and saw that Non had dropped the knife.

"Astra...How could you be on her side when you know what will happen to this planet?" Non asked flying mid air in front of Astra.

"You're not fighting for our cause, Non. You stopped when you let your hate for our niece blind you. You betrayed me and our people. And if you want to pursue your madness, know that I am not afraid to fight you." Astra warned

"So be it."

AN: Thanks for the reviews, follows.

The battle is just begining! Get ready because the fight will end in the chapter but not the angst.

As usual, let me know what you think ;)
