A/N: Thank you for the comments. Anna - There are still a few emotional moments to come in this. I'm glad you are still enjoying it. Guest reviewers - Thanks!
When Alex opened her eyes and realised she wasn't dead she looked round confused and saw a familiar face looking down at her.
"You saved me?" Alex half asked, half stated, not able to conceal hers surprise.
"Kara needs you more than anyone else. Without you she loses hope." Astra said. "Without hope she doesn't have purpose. I told you I had only two concerns. Kara was one of them. Saving you helps Kara."
"Killing Max was your other concern." Alex reminded her.
"There's still time." Astra pointed out. "But first we need to get you to Kara. Can you walk?"
"I guess." Alex said getting unsteadily to her feet until her injured leg gave out and she found herself being caught my Astra.
"Lean on me." Astra said.
"How did you save me anyway?" Alex asked confused as she used Astra as a crutch.
"I flew you through several walls. The detonation was not that powerful and was in part neutralised by the dark energy. But your human body may be slightly damaged."
"Did it work?"
"I believe so, on this Earth anyway." Astra said as they walked back to the room Kara was in.
"So your powers are back?" Alex asked, fully catching onto the situation.
"They are." Astra agreed. "But do not fear, I did not go to the effort of saving you just to kill you."
"Good to know." Alex grimaced as they entered the lab. As soon as they stepped inside and Kara saw them she exclaimed.
"Alex! You're alive."
"Thanks to Astra." Alex said. "You okay?"
"This is getting a little heavy." Kara confessed, still straining to hold the weight.
Looking round Astra found the remnants of the support pillar and lifted them into position before pulling metal from the workbenches and placed them next to the pillar. She then used her heat vision to weld the pillar into place.
Once done she looked at Kara and said. "You can let go."
Hesitantly Kara lowered her arms and when the ceiling did not fall she launched herself at Alex.
"I'm okay." Alex assured her as she hugged her.
"I thought you died." Kara said squeezing Alex a little to tightly.
"I'm okay." Alex repeated. "But we need to get to the others."

"Careful, it's a trap." Oliver warned when the three women entered the room he and Barry were trapped in.
"There's some type of invisible forcefield, well more of a diode I guess." Barry explained.
"Did you just walk into it?" Astra asked.
"Pretty much." Barry confirmed as Oliver just glared.
Moving to the wall Alex typed at a control panel before saying. "Try now."
As Barry started to step forward Oliver put an arm on his shoulder to stop him. "Perhaps we should test it first." Oliver suggested as he pulled an arrow from his quiver and threw it towards Alex, who caught it.
Content Oliver stepped towards the women and asked. "What's the situation?"
"This Earth and your Earth are probably safe." Kara said.
"The bomb has been dealt with." Alex said. "But Max got away."
"But the immediate threat is gone?" Barry asked.
"Seems to be." Winn confirmed over the radio.
"I'm assuming you are okay with us doing something while you were resting in here?" Alex asked Oliver.
"Funny." Oliver responded moments before Winn radioed.
"Gloat later, escape now."
"Why?"
"The DEO is moving in."
"Get to the rendezvous point." Oliver said. "We've got this."
"You sure?" Winn asked.
"Yes. Go." Alex confirmed before adding. "Don't get caught or followed."

"General Lane." Alex greeted as they found themselves standing in front of the General and his men.
"Danvers. Is the situation contained?"
"The bomb and portal are not longer a threat." Alex said. "But Max escaped."
"We have already cleared up your mess. Maxwell Lord is in our custody." Lane explained before asking. "Where are the weapons?"
"What weapons?" Alex questioned.
"The anti freak weapons." He clarified.
"No idea what you are talking about." Alex shrugged.
"Don't give me that crap." Lane said. "I want the weapons."
"On our Earth please helps." Kara pointed out.
"You have got to be kidding me." Lane growled.
"No." Kara said.
"Please can I have the weapons?" He said, looking like the words caused a bad taste in his mouth.
"No." Alex said. "I, well we, don't trust you."
"I have had enough of you." Lane said before ordering his men. "Detain all of them. Make sure you give special treatment to the Kryptonian."
"I wouldn't do that." Alex said. "And if by Kryptonian you are talking about Astra, Kara is extremely protective of her. And if you are talking abut Kara I am very protective of her."
"We all are." Oliver said as he stood next to Kara.
"Astra is a fugitive. She is wanted for warcrimes. She is also a prisoner of Fort Rozz and was put there by your mother." He added looking at Kara.
"She also murdered J'onn and my sister on this world." Kara added. "But I have forgiven her."
"I don't know how things work on your world, nor do I care. But here we do not follow a handholding hippy justice system. Anyone who commits a crime is accountable and will be punished. And anyone who is a threat to this country is also a criminal."
"Before you accuse us of committing a crime I should warn you that we represent two worlds. Worlds which work collaboratively to keep each other safe from all threats. Worlds which have the latest weaponry, both of Earth and other worlds." Oliver said.
"Are you threatening me?" Lane asked.
"No General, when I threaten someone there is no question about what I'm doing. I am merely pointing out the landscape in which you find yourself." Oliver said.
"He's good." Winn commented to Kara over the radio.
"Well he is a mayor." Kara pointed out. "He has lots of practice at politicking. Is that a word?"
"I think so. Let's hope Alex never gets into politics. That's a scary prospect." Winn said.
"To be honest, I don't care what you do on your Earth as long as it doesn't impact mine." Oliver said, ignoring the exchange on the radio. "However, the exception to that is when you threaten my allies, be they of this Earth or mine, or even this planet. So here is what is going to happen. You and your agents are going to go back to your headquarters and we are going to go home. Once we have gone you will reassess what and who you class as enemies of the state. You will offer fair and equal justice to all humans and aliens. Meanwhile we will go back to our Earths and order them to stand down, until we hear they are needed again." With that Oliver turned and walked away from Lane.
"Tell me your plan involves more than empty threats." Alex said as she fell into step along side Oliver.
"Of course." Oliver said.
"Feeling like sharing?" Alex asked.
Before Oliver answered Lane growled.
"Stop."
"Why is it, that where ever you go there is always someone in a position of power who always choses the stupid option?" Oliver asked as he stopped walking. Gripping his bow tightly he slowly turned aware of several soldiers aiming weapons at them. Before anyone could say anything though the building that they had been in suddenly collapsed.
"Subtle." Alex commented to Oliver as Lane as his men assumed they were under attack and ran for cover.
"That wasn't me." Oliver said confused.
"It appears my repairs in the building were less than optimal." Astra commented watching the dust fly.
"So we didn't need your plan after all?" Barry asked.
"I wouldn't be so sure, but we should move." Oliver said. Not waiting for a second invitation Kara took hold of Alex as Astra grabbed Oliver and flew them to safety as Barry ran after them.
