A/N: Thank you for the comments.
Guest (1) - The solution with Sam is covered in this chapter
Guest (2) - If she is I'm not covering it.
Superkara - Ha! Thanks - but no. Apart from today I generally like my day job.
"Easy." Eliza warned when Alex started to move.
"Mom?" Alex asked forcing her eyes open. "Are you okay?"
"Me? You were the one stabbed." Eliza said, her face displaying guilt and concern.
"I'm fine." Alex said before moving and gasping in pain.
"No you're not. Which is why you passed out." Eliza said trying to keep Alex still. "I've done all I can, but you need a hospital." She added unable to hide her worry.
"I'll be okay." Alex said squeezing her hand. "J'onn and Kara will be here soon."
"You really think J'onn, your sister and the DEO will be enough to beat them?" Eliza asked.
"Have some faith." Alex said. Seeing her mother's surprised look she added. "I know Kara is the designated family cheerleader but that doesn't mean we can't have a little faith and hope when she's not here."
"I will always have faith in both you and Kara." Eliza said. "But as a mother I can still worry."

"You have returned to us." The woman Winn called Reign mark two commented when Sam and Supergirl walked in.
"Who are you?" Sam asked.
"We are your sisters. Pestilence and Purity." She said nodding over to her comrade.
"Give me my family." Kara demanded as she stepped between Sam and the Worldkillers.
"Can't you see they hold you back?" Coville asked stepping forward. "Accept the blessing you are being offered."
"What blessing?" Kara asked.
"They can help you be reborn. Forget what you have learnt on this planet. All we humans have done is corrupt you. You need to return to your Kryptonian roots to help with the salvation of Earth. Embrace the death of your Earth connection and relearn Rao's will."
"Rao was not a murderer. Rao was compassion." Kara said.
"Only after the weakness and sin had been purged. We can not be saved without accepting we need to be saved." Coville said. His tone and words making Kara want to blast him with her heat vision.
"They don't even believe in Rao." Supergirl pointed out looking at the Worldkillers.
"You don't have to believe in something to be part of it." Coville smiled. "Their purpose is to bring salvation and justice. Just as Rao's is."
"Why are you doing this?" Kara asked Pestilence unable to stomach Coville any longer.
"It is our destiny. A destiny we have thanks to your father." Pestilence said.
"My father?" Kara asked confused.
"You don't know?" The woman asked her smile becoming even more sickly.
"Know what?"
"We exist because of him."
"What?" Kara asked confused.
"His work led to our creation. Without him we would not exist. He created the perfect solider." Pestilence said before looking carefully at Kara and asking. "I wonder why he did not perfect you?"
"You're lying." Kara said.
"Don't listen to them." Sam said as Winn said over the ear piece.
"Now."
Burying her feelings Kara took a red light grenade off her belt and pulled the pin. As the light bathed the room she launched her attack on her opposition, using the moves that Alex had taught her. Only as she attacked she discovered that her opponents had been unaffected by the grenade.
Smiling, the one who looked like Sam, grabbed Kara by the throat and raised her off the ground.
"Like I said, we are perfect soldiers. We are not limited like you. Our powers are true." As Kara started to black out she saw Sam transform into J'onn who attacked Pestilence. Distracted by the Martian attack the Worldkiller dropped Kara to the ground to focus on J'onn.
As Kara tried to breathe she crawled towards the door hoping to get exposure to the sun. Only before she got there she was kicked in the ribs by the other Worldkiller. Even without her superhearing she could hear at least one rib snap as she cried in pain. Scrambling to get up she saw Purity open her mouth moments before an excruciating sound was emitted, which hit her with a sonic wave so strong she went flying backwards and hit another wall.
Dazed and in pain Kara forced her eyes open in time to see Purity walk towards her. She saw Purity raise her foot to strike her again. She knew without her powers the blow could be fatal and that she had to move, but she found herself stuck. Just as she thought she would be kicked she became vaguely aware of the woman grabbing hold of her head before falling to her knees muttering.
"No...no...no."
Before Kara could dwell on what had happened Imra helped her to her feet and dragged her towards sunlight.
"Stay here." Imra instructed once Kara was exposed to the orange sun. With that Mon-El's wife disappeared back inside.
Lying on the ground Kara started to feel her strength return, although her ribs were still unbelievably painful. Eventually she managed to get to her feet and started to return to the scene of the battle. Before she had made it back inside though J'onn and Imra came out.
"Time to go." J'onn said.
"Alex? Eliza?" Kara asked.
"Mon-El got them out. They're back at the DEO." J'onn said.

"Eliza!" Kara greeted before rushing towards her adoptive mother. "Are you okay? I'm sorry."
"Kara, I'm fine." Eliza said hugging her.
"Alex?" Kara asked trying to ignore the pain in her ribs.
"She'll be okay." Eliza said.
"But she was stabbed." Kara said pulling away.
"She'll be okay." Eliza assured her as she took in how pale Kara was looking. "You I'm not so sure about."
"I'll be fine." Kara said.
"Why don't we go to the lamp room?" Eliza suggested.
"No. Alex shouldn't be alone." Kara said.
"When she wakes up, if she sees you looking like this she'll blame herself." Eliza gently countered.
"Okay, I'll go." Kara agreed. "But you should stay with her."
-00-
"Mom?" Alex asked opening her eyes. "You okay?"
"I'm fine." Eliza said, trying not to cry in relief.
"Where are we? Wait are we at the DEO? How'd we get here?" Alex asked confused, fighting to stay awake.
"Mon-El brought us here."
"He did?" Alex asked not remembering that. "Kara?"
"She was distracting them to allow us time to escape."
"Is she okay?" Alex asked looking round, concerned when she couldn't see her.
"She's under the lamps." Eliza said hoping that was true.
"How badly was she hurt?" Alex asked frowning as the pain and tiredness washed over her.
"Not as badly as you." Eliza assured her.
"Does she know about her father?"
"According to J'onn, yes."
"How was she?"
"Subdued. She was more concerned about you."
"She shouldn't be alone." Alex said struggling to stay awake.
"J'onn is keeping an eye on her. Get some rest."
Any argument Alex wanted to offer was cut short when she was firmly gripped by tiredness and she passed out once more.
