A:N: This is a point of view chapter. It is from Winn's point of view at the start, but then dives in and out of each character while cutting in and out of the action, I hope it works :)
WINN
"She believes she's right, what she did in her mind was right. How in anyone's mind can she justify what she did? I get it, she lost Maggie, but Maggie is alive and still she shows no remorse for what she did. I mean, I feel guilty because I was the one who inputted the codes, I pressed that shiny red button. I could have said no, but she would have put a bullet through my head if I refused. Winn was typing away at his computer, "Agent Danvers, they have another 15 minutes before they can start coming back. You cannot go out there!" Alex was busy getting kitted up, and she even had her gun fixed to her hip.
"Winn, I'm getting her back and then I'm getting my damn answers!" Alex snapped, clearly not wanting to listen.
"There she goes again. Damn I can't wait until she get's what she deserves, but then I wouldn't forgive myself if she was in prison for the rest of her life...Oh, what the hell?" Winn connected the video again, as he managed to find another signal, "Lena, hey. You have at least fifteen minutes before anyone can go out there."
"We also have another problem." Lena said to him, "It's Kara." Winn's eyebrows raised, "What about Kara?" Lena walked over to her and looked her over. Blue and red glows were coming through her skin, "She's...she's changing."
Alex then ran over to the screen, terrified, "Changing? Changing how? Is she awake? Lena, tell me what the hell is happening?!" Alex snapped. Lena appeared seconds later, "Winn, we can't accelerate the anti-toxin process, but Kara is ill. What mom gave her it's- it's rewriting her DNA on a molecular scale. I've no idea what she is turning into."
"Human." Maggie said from across the room, "That's the only thing it's gotta be. If your mom wanted you to be Supergirl, why not steal The Girl Of Steel's powers? It's like she switched the roles. You be the hero and she be the ordinary human. Lilian knows Kara would hate not being able to be who she really is. The only way to kill Supergirl would be taking away who she really is."
"Great, just what we need. A Luthor being the hero." Winn thought to himself,"Wait a second." Winn then looked at Alex, "Alex..."
"This will destroy her." Alex sneered through gritted teeth, "This will end her!"
"ALEX!" Winn snapped, "We have thirteen minutes now and then Kara will be home, you just need to calm down."
LENA
"I can't wait until all of this is all over. I am so sick and tired of it! This was the last straw. I have my best friend's powers, and now she will probably hate me. This is what comes with being a Luthor." Lena was cradling Kara in her arms. It had been five minutes since she last spoke to Winn. Kara began to stir. Lena heard her groan in her arms, "Hey." Lena smiled slightly, "You found me and now look how the tables turned." She laughed. Kara tried to crack a smile, "I like your eyes." They both laughed for a minute.
"God, she is so beautiful, when I looked into her blue eyes I felt so safe and now she is looking into mine, I wonder what she thinks now she is looking into mine."
"What happened?" Kara mumbled.
"You fell unconscious, but don't worry, we've got you now. Ten minutes from now, we'll be at the DEO, home and dry."
Kara frowned, "You use that expression?"
"Yeah." Lena laughed, "Is that an issue?"
"No, it's kinda cute." She said with a smile.
"From what I can hear." Alex said, shifting her feet, "She's okay."
"She has a nerve. Blew up the planet and now she has the guts to use that tone with me. God, wait until I get my hands around her-" Lena's thoughts were cut short by Maggie looking at the DNA scans, "Yeah, no Kryptonian cells left." Kara then suddenly sat up, "What are you talking about?"
"Kara-" Lena began, "Um, to create the hybrid..." She took a breath, "Lilian extracted every single Kryptonian cell and put them inside of me...so I guess that makes you..."
"I'm human." Kara gasped. She found her throat had constricted, "No, No, that can't be right. You can't be me!"
"Kara-I'm..."
Kara got up and stumbled across to the computer, "Winn please tell me there is a way to reverse this."
"Now she hates me." Lena thought to herself, looking over at Kara. She saw how desperate she was. When she collapsed to her knees, Lena was instantly by her side, "Kara I'm so so sorry." Lena gasped.
"LET GO OF ME!" Kara snapped in tears, but Lena kept a firm grip on her. She soothed her and looked up at Maggie, who seemed only saddened by what was going on.
MAGGIE
"I've messed up everything. Alex thinks I hate aliens and I think she is trying to forgive me. She can't though. She won't even be able to forgive herself for destroying the planet...I know the truth and none of them have a clue, yes Lena is the hybrid but...With Lena thinking that some of this was faked, she is so wrong." Maggie was looking down at both Lena and Kara, and seeing Kara hurting so much, hurt her too. She took a deep breath, leaning against a table. "Lena, there are some things you should know." She then stood straight and walked into an empty space in the room, "You all need to know that...I don't hate aliens...I was a cop at the time...I was young, arrogant and I thought I knew best...I'm sorry to all of you. None of you have a clue." She laughed half-heartedly, feeling a lump rise in her throat, "Lena, you think some of this was faked, but it wasn't. I knew what was gonna happen...Lilian knew you'd kill her and she knew some would survive...I knew everything that was going to happen."
Back at the DEO, everyone was listening, no one was stirring. Alex was holding back tears herself.
"Everything...I knew it would happen. Alex, you were meant to deploy a missile and for a few hours after you'd been out on duty, you set off that second missile. The reason you don't remember is because Lilian used your DNA and managed to do something to it to control you. I knew all about everything. Believe me, I didn't want anyone to get hurt...but I had to go along with it all. Alex isn't the guilty one here J'onn, I am." Maggie went quiet and just waited for a response from at least someone. But no.
Silence.
Alex tried to stop her lip from trembling, "How the hell can I forgive you after all of this? How would you know if I would use a stupid missile?"
Maggie held back tears, while shrugging, "It's the power of love."
Click.
The sound echoed through the warehouse, and as Winn looked at the screen, his jaw dropped, "Supergirl, what are you doing?" He gasped. Maggie turned around and there Kara was with a gun in her hand, "Little Danvers."
"Don't call me that, you don't get to call me that ever!" Kara sneered, forcing back tears, "You took away not only human life, but aliens too. You then took away what made me! Why didn't you warn ANY OF US?!"
"How could I? One word, and she would have killed you."
"Oh how heroic of you!" Kara sneered with sarcasm in her tone, "I'd rather die than listen to and see what I did on that day! You destroyed everything! You need to pay for what you did."
"Supergirl, no." Winn urged, "This isn't how this works."
"She destroyed everything." Kara sneered at Maggie. Lena was stood behind Kara, eyeing Maggie carefully, "Kara, this isn't the way and you know it isn't. Just put the gun down." She said softly, "Winn, how long before we can leave?"
"Five minutes." Winn confirmed.
"Come on Kara, five minutes and then you can go home to Alex...You miss her, I can tell."
"I just want life the way it was. I want normality and I can't have it because I don't have my powers."
Maggie sighed, "Just do it Kara."
"Don't you dare!" Lena sneered, "You don't get an easy way out Sawyer, that is not happening." The moment Lena turned around, the gun was fired.
"Just so you can't run anywhere." Kara sneered, looking at the blood now seeping from her leg. She then walked over to her and knelt in front of her, "You will answer for what you did, and no, Alex does not escape punishment so easily, but what she does do is have me...She will always have me." She sneered, before throwing the gun across the room.
Lena hugged Kara after she walked over, and only stared at Maggie on the floor, "It'll be okay Kara, the DEO will figure out what to do. I promise." Kara stayed quiet as tears were still in her eyes.
A few minutes later, an alarm bleeped. Winn looked over National City and surrounding areas, "The air is clean and ooh would you look at that, it's a nice sunny day."
"Come on Sawyer." Lena sneered as she walked over to her. She then looked at Kara, "You'll be alright here, won't you? While I take her to the DEO." Kara merely shook her head, "Yeah, I'll be fine." Lena looked at her with concern, but she picked Maggie up and flew her back to the DEO.
