It was cold. Kara was freezing. What was this? What was going on?
Dripping of water.
She thought she could hear it.
Blood, dripping from parts of her body.
She took a deep breath and exhaled.
She then heard feet.
Then a chain.
She was limp.
Her mouth was dry.
She couldn't see.
She was then blinded as the darkness that consumed her suddenly vanished.
"Wakey, wakey." She heard a soft, but dry voice say to her. As she managed to regain her full sight, she remembered that she had no powers. As she sat up and looked across the room, she saw none other than Maggie Sawyer and the former CEO of L-Corp. "L..." Her wording was dry. She couldn't form a word. She then looked up and saw none other than Lilian Luthor, "You survived." She said question involved, she knew it. She knew that Lilian had something to do with what was going on.
Kara had not yet noticed the various wires and I.V that were connected to her, injecting what looked like two different forms of a liquid. It was only once the nausea subsided that she took in everything that was happening. Then everything came crashing back down to earth.
Unknown strength now surged through her body, that was adrenaline, and Kara had no escape no matter how hard she pulled on the chains, "Let us go, Luthor. Or Spare them and take me!"
Lilian merely laughed, "And that would be so easy. Maggie would just head back to the DEO and my daughter would betray me. I think you'd better rethink your options Kara."
"Cut the crap Luthor." Maggie hissed.
Kara felt some joy that they hadn't changed Maggie in such a way her personality changed.
"You made my fiancee destroy the world, and you know that she would do anything for me-" Lilian then cut her off as she turned around, "Yes, but what you didn't know is that she thinks you are dead."
"What?!" Maggie spat.
Lilian smirked as she walked over, "We put you into a coma, created a doppelganger and sent you off to kill Supergirl, only your unconscious mind was too strong and our duplicate betrayed us. We had to kill her. And I think you'll find that's the only reason why you are still awake."
Maggie was speechless, and tears formed in her eyes. As Kara looked at her, she saw all of her hope was suddenly gone, "No Maggie, you cannot lose your hope, that is what they want. She hasn't moved on. Listen to me."
"She destroyed the world to avenge me. I'm alive while thousands are dead! Kara how am I meant to feel about that? I feel so guilty!" Maggie snapped as tears now fell from her eyes and were cascading down her cheeks, she then glared at Kara, "WHY DIDN'T YOU OR J'ONN STOP HER?!"
Kara's heart fell in her chest.
"KARA!" Maggie shouted. Lena looked between them both and did not know what to say or do, "Kara." Lena interrupted, "Why didn't you, or Superman do anything?"
Kara shrugged, "J'onn was reminded of the slaughter of Mars and Kal and I were reminded of Krypton. We all heard the screaming and it made us stop. We couldn't do anything because we were haunted by memories of long ago." Kara now had tears in her eyes, and one found it's way down her cheek, "The truth is, after all of these years and of all the tolerance we once had..." She then took a breath, "All of us on that day, you wanna know what happened? We lost faith in humanity. We lost faith in humanity. You are as vile as each other. No matter how kind, good and gentle of a person you are...Humans have something dark within them that aliens ourselves cannot see. I lost my faith in Alex that day, and that hurts Maggie. She should rot in jail, but because she is my sister..." She then paused, "I don't know what to see or think of her anymore."
"Or maybe that's the power of what humans call, love." Lilian intervened.
"No one destroys a whole planet out of love." Lena spat, "Kara, you love me right? As A friend? What would you do if I died?"
"Lena..." Kara said with her voice trembling.
"Tell me, what would you do?"
"She's an alien. There is a difference as to what she thinks and feels." Lilian interrupted.
"Oh shut up mother." Lena hissed, "You don't know what love is because you've never felt it."
Kara looked into Lena's eyes for a few moments, "You mean everything to me Lena. You are my only friend left. All I have is family. Maggie, Winn, J'onn..."
Maggie frowned, "What about Eliza and Jeremiah?"
"They died." Kara hissed.
There was then a moment of silence. Followed by a hissing noise. The four women in the room looked toward the sound. Cyborg Superman emerged from the darkness, "Is the hybrid ready?" He asked Lilian, glaring at the other three women.
"Almost." Lilian smirked.
Kara frowned, confusion swept over her face. "The hybrid? What is the Hybrid?"
Darkness then consumed the room, and there was nothing but silence.
PLANET DESTRUCTION IN THIRTY MINUTES.
PLANET DESTRUCTION IN THIRTY MINUTES.
The sound ran through the DEO. Winn looked at Alex for help, but with no Supergirl around, no one could help them. Winn forced the lump in his throat down as he swallowed, "So this is your last act is it?" He hissed at Alex.
"There isn't another way. There is no way to clean the air. The earth isn't habitable and the longer we leave it, the more will die." Alex snapped.
"Oh I hope you rot in prison." He sneered.
Alex turned to him, glaring, "You think I wanted this? It's over, Winn. The sooner we accept our fate, the better."
"Whatever this hybrid is, it could save the world. You just decided to activate EVERY SINGLE MISSILE ON EARTH WHEN THERE COULD BE A CHANCE! YOU WANNA KNOW WHY J'ONN AND KARA GAVE UP ON YOU?!"
"Go on Winn, tell me!" Alex snapped, now merely inches from his face. Winn swallowed hard, and took a breath, "Because the one thing that normally makes a human happy destroyed you. Love destroyed you. If Maggie were here, she'd hate you for this and you know I'm right." His voice trembled as he spoke. Alex was forced to face reality. When she didn't reply, Winn knew she finally listened, "Switch off the detonation." He demanded.
"No." Alex sneered.
"AGENT DANVERS, AS OF NOW I AM STRIPPING YOU OF YOUR RIGHTS AS AN AGENT!" Winn shouted.
"Excuse me?" She spat, "You don't give me orders. Only J'onn does."
"He talked to me earlier, he stepped down because he couldn't bare to look at your stupid face any longer. I am your commander in-chief." Winn said bravely, "J'onn now believes that the humans got what they wanted. To reign supreme, and I don't want him to be proven right with our destruction. Call. It. Off." He ordered.
Alex glared at him for a second longer before calling out the order, "By the way Winn, J'onn would never ask you to do that. It was a load of crap wasn't it?"
"Yes, yes it was but..."
"Nice try." She sneered, before walking off.
Winn sighed in relief before the screens were hacked and none other than Lilian Luthor appeared, "Hello, remaining earthlings." She smirked, "How nice is it to be proven right? That all aliens are just evil? I have something special for you, a little project I have been working on. Oh agent Danvers." She said as she was walking away, "I have something that belongs to you."
"Supergirl." Alex breathed in shock, "What have you done to her?!"
"Well, if you insist. The hybrid needed a kickstart, so I have modified both her and Lena's DNA. Kara is still a boring old Kryptonian but Lena, oh she is so much more." She laughed, "But I wasn't on about Supergirl." She said with a sly tone, before showing a live image of Maggie. Alex's heart fell, "No, she can't be." She gasped in disbelief, "I DESTROYED THE WORLD BECAUSE I THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD!" She screamed.
"You royally screwed up Danvers." Maggie said with a small smile, "But it's great to hear your voice."
Alex tried to smile,but found it too painful. Living with a heavy burden wasn't much to smile about.
"So the hybrid." Winn interrupted, "It's what we thought all along? Lena is the hybrid? Why all of this for just that?"
"Seeing how far someone will go for someone they love is always fun Mr Shott, but our hybrid...A double of Supergirl, yes."
Winn's face dropped, when he saw Lena right behind Lillian.
Lillian turned around, and as she did, Lena grabbed her and pinned her to a wall across the room, "This ends here." She sneered.
"No dear, it only end when I say it does." She smirked, "You won't kill me, we know you won't."
Lena looked over at Kara who appeared limp and lifeless, before glaring back at her mother who was now practically fighting for her life, "You got your prize, seeing how far a woman would go for someone she loved and your ultimate weapon. You made a huge mistake." She laughed darkly, "I'm sentient and I have a mind of my own which means, I can do this." She sneered before breaking her neck.
Alex and Winn gasped in surprise at the screen. Winn immediately got set on tracking them down, "Lena, I need coordinates."
"It's not safe for them to walk out there." Lena reminded him.
"I know, but you created five boxes."
"The anti-toxins, I know. I managed to manipulate the doppleganger into thinking like me. I will send you their codes over and put them on the land. Give it an hour for National City and another 24 for the globe. Oh and Winn, some of this destruction. It's not real. I can deactivate it."
"What? Some of it was like a perception filter?"
"Twenty percent was exaggerated. That bomb wasn't harmful enough."
"What do you mean it wasn't?" Winn gasped, "It was nuclear."
"A lot of the city was destroyed and lots of people died..."
"They did." Was all Lena said. The line then went dead. Lena rushed over to Maggie, "You'll be home soon. I promise."
