Lena had joined everyone at DEO headquarters, it seemed that command had been given over to Oliver Queen, the Arrow from Earth 1.

"Oliver is a natural tactician Lena, that's why we are allowing him to lead."

"Does he know how important Kara is?"

"Lena, he likes Kara, he knows her, he won't let anything happen to her. I know you are stressed and worried, but Lena, we are all here to make sure nothing happens to Kara."

Lena took a deep breath, centering herself, "Okay.", she said softly.

"Dominator ship has entered the atmosphere, they are currently on course to settle directly over our current location, everyone to your stations. Heavy weapons and defense measures are being deployed. I repeat, everyone to your stations."

"Alright everyone, saddle up, time to take the fight the them, as we discussed, anyone with the ability to fly is responsible for their air forces. All ground forces, you know what you have to do, remember these creatures will die, if you are not comfortable with that, leave now.", the Arrow ordered.

No one left, many were from other earths that had lost their own Kryptonian defenders when the Dominators attacked, this wasn't just a protection mission for them, this was payback.

Alex, Sara and Lena gathered around the comm board and contacted Kara.

Kara was sitting under her sun lamps with a multi monitor system so that she could be involved in the battle, even though she couldn't be there physically, Oliver wanted her to help, her ability to read the field made her an invaluable asset behind the scenes, she could guide the flyers towards targets.

"Hey sis, what are your readings?", Alex was in director mode.

"Kryptonite levels at 7 percent, system should be cleared in 2 hours.", Harley answered.

"I'm fine Alex, not happy, but fine.", Kara frowned. Her eyes flashed red.

"Temper Zhao.", Lena spoke. Watching as Kara took a deep breath trying to calm herself.

"Kara, please keep yourself safe, love you."

"Kara, everything will be okay, I'll keep Alex safe."

"You better, you'll never forgive yourself otherwise."

Sara laughed and Kara smiled. Lena and Alex looked at one another trying to figure out how they could laugh at a time like this.

"Sara, thank you."

"Kara, when all this is done, we need to talk."

"Sara?"

"After this is over, okay Kara?"

"Of course, whatever you need Sara."

Finally, Kara was looking at Lena. "You look fantastic Tempest. Remember you turn tighter than they do, and your weapons system can be controlled by…"

"Kara stop, I'm scared, I've never done anything like this before."

"Lena, Zhao, you will be amazing. Just remember what you can do, it's okay to be scared, we all are, even Oliver. It's the nature of what we do. Some of us hide it with humor, some get quiet and others just get angry. You'll be fine, I have faith in you Lena."

"Thank you, Kara, I love you, I won't let you down."

"You never could Lee, I love you beautiful, now go show them what you can do."

"Sara, watch our girls."

"Comm check everyone?", Oliver yelled.

Everyone checked in, "Kara, you have good comms?"

"Affirmative Ollie, be safe."

"Watch our backs Supergirl."

"Gotcha Arrow."

The heroes from all over the Multiverse headed up to face the Dominators, no one paused, even the rookies. The airborne heroes shot through the opened roof of the DEO, they shot skyward, heading directly for the incoming ship. The DEO troops locked down the command center and lit up their own weapons. Alex and Sara were the last to the surface, both stone faced and looking dangerous, when Sara paused and looked to Alex.

"Sara, are you okay?"

"I am, I just need to say something before this starts. Alex, I think I have finally found my home. I have been wandering for so long, but now, when I see you, I want to settle down, I want to stop drifting, I want to stay here."

Alex looked at the beautiful woman in front of her and saw something very few people ever got to see, not Canary, not a member of the League of Assassins, but Sara Lance. She smiled and pulled Sara to her, and for once Alex to charge, kissing her, probing for a boundary, letting Sara know that she was welcome, not only to this world, but to her heart.

The kiss ended, both women breathless, "Is that a yes?", Sara breathed heavily.

"Yes.", then Alex kissed her lightly and took her hand and headed forward. Oliver was in front of them, watching, and smiled as they interlocked their fingers.

The flying heroes were about a mile out when the Dominator's attack craft launched, but Kara caught the launch and warned the group they were coming. "Group A, go high, Group B down, split on my count," Kara watched the approach closely, "3, 2, 1, now!"

The groups split, just as the laser fire erupted, one hawk winged hero paused just a moment, but his feathers were only singed. The heroes concentrated their attack as soon as the Dominator force flew past them. Not a single Dominator survived that initial attack. Lena personally took out 3 fighters.

"Good job team, no one get cocky, the next round is coming soon and that trick won't work twice.", Kara said, "Ollie, you have troops dropping 500 yards on your left flank, DEO can do more damage than your team at this time."

"You heard Supergirl DEO, light them up."

The DEO waited until the Dominator force was 100 yards from them, trapped in a wedge of troops and then fired a full barrage. Dominator forces were caught completely unaware since they deemed human resistance worthless. A cheer went up as the last of the Dominators fell back.

"Everyone focus, that was a test run, now they know what they are facing, they will come full force."

"That's affirmative, Ollie, 4 air groups and 2 ground assault units coming now, full left flank attack, the DEO will need support. Air groups, split into 4 units, 1 group give aerial support to the ground units, groups 2, 3 and 4 prepare for the next round of attacks."

The Dominator assault force hit efficiently on the ground, but they were not prepared for Kara's force field generators, they couldn't get a shot in. The heroes and the DEO were behind the shield, firing at selected targets, never moving from their assigned positions. "Kara, it's working, your shields are holding up."

Kara was too busy watching the air groups and watching the field, she would celebrate if this ended their favor. She watched as two heroes fell, tracking their vitals, and guiding the medical team to them. Her eyes followed everyone on the field, but she always knew where Alex, Sara and Lena were. "Ollie, new assault group coming up from the rear, 200 yards out, Alex and Sara's group is in the best position."

"Sara, show them what Canary is capable of.", Oliver hadn't let anyone know that Sara had been mutated during her travels through time and space, and had truly gained her Canary cry.

"Gotcha Ollie, Kara, let me know when all our troops are behind me."

"Okay Sara, the Dominators are 150 yards out, our troops are headed towards you."

"125 yards, 10 more troops."

"100 yards, last troop is behind you. NOW!"

Sara let loose with a sonic cry that stopped the Dominators in their tracks, more than ¾'s of their number was destroyed. The other heroes and DEO troops waited till she was done, then opened fire. They wiped the floor with the Dominator troops.

In the air, the battle was a little closer, Kara could guide, but she couldn't control the Dominator ships. She watched two of Lena's group go down to a large fighter, then heard Lena tell Harley to increase the shields and shift 15% more power to her boosters. "Lena?", was all Kara could get out before her Luthor shot forward at the speed of sound and blasted towards and then through the ship. She almost yelled out but held back because they were on public comms.

"Kara, current Kryptonite levels are at zero, you are cleared for combat.", Harley spoke.

"Thank Rao.", Kara sighed, "Lena, the kryptonite is out of my system."

"Thank God."

"Wait, they are sending an assault force towards the city. Ollie, there is an assault force headed towards National City, I have to go."

"Go Kara, we got this."

"Harley, track the battle, I have to go."

"Be careful Kara."

Kara tapped the charm on her necklace and was in the air before her cape and boots finished forming.

"Kara, 20 Dominators just landed in the park outside of L Corp, there are 10 police officers there, pinned down, 2 injured."

"Got it Harley.", she poured on the speed and landed between the dominators and police in the park.

"Officer are your injured stable?", she yelled.

"Yes Supergirl, put we can't seem to get a shot in, they have us pinned down."

"These are shock troops, anywhere you hit them is fine, aim from low, radio it in."

One of the cops took a shot from under his car, hitting one of the Dominators in the ankle, the creature went down and he immediately shot it twice more, dissolving the creature.

"Great shot!", Kara cried as she took out 5 of the aliens with her heat vision. The cops cheered and fired at the remaining aliens. The battle was over in seconds.

Kara ran over to the injured officers, one was shot in the leg, not life threatening, the other had a hole in her side. Kara x-rayed her and noticed damage to her kidney. "Dammit", she thought, then remembered, she had a nanite capsule on her. "Water!", she cried out. One of the officers handed her a bottle, she gave it and the capsule to the injured officer. "Take this.", it will help repair the damage. After the officer swallowed the capsule, Kara lifted her up, "I'm taking her to the hospital."

"Go Supergirl and thank you."

"No thanks necessary, its my city too.", then she took off taking the police officer to the hospital. When she arrived, she told the nurse to contact Jess, and give the code word KD1959, and she would get the data on the nanites that were currently working inside the woman. Then she was back in the air.

"Lena, I just gave the hospital some of the data on my nanites. I had to give my tablet to one of the downed officers in the city."

"It's okay Kara, Jess will scrub the info, no one will know till you are ready."

"How's it going there."

"We are doing better than they are."

On board the alien ship, the commander realized that Supergirl kept focusing on three certain human units. He decided at that moment to use his literal big guns.

"Alert, the command ship is building up its power, focus seems to be a weapon on the bottom of the ship. Air assault headed towards the city"

"Ollie, get everyone underground now!", Kara screamed as she flew towards the air assault.

"Everyone fall back underground, now."

Lena was acting as rear guard, so were Sara and Alex. Oliver was inside the doorway waiting so he could drop the blast doors. Out of nowhere, a blast rocked the entrance, causing the doors to fall. "Kara, the girls, they are trapped outside."

Kara was battling the aircraft, laser vision, kicks and punches taking them out as quickly as possible. She was moving so fast the enemy couldn't even target her.

"Lena, ship will fire in less than 2 seconds.", Harley actually sounded panicked.

Lena flew towards Alex and Sara and they all looked at each other. "Harley, emergency protocol, Absolution. Sara, I need you to scream as soon as they fire, can you do that?"

"Whatever you need Lena."

"Alex, get down behind Sara and cover your ears. Lena did the same. "As soon as they fire Sara, focus your scream on the two crystal at the top of our cover."

Kara took out the last two ships and turned towards the desert, seeing a huge beam of energy fire. "No!", she screamed, "Lena!"

The beam struck and Sara screamed, they were rocked, and the scream charged the forcefield, but the beam was strong enough to push them down into the earth, effectively burying them. Kara landed less than a second later, but it was gone, Lena's heartbeat, it was gone. She screamed and focused her heat vision on the Alien troops coming towards her, wiping them from existence. Then she released the solar energy from her suit, supercharging her body. Then she launched herself towards the alien ship. She stood outside the bridge, staring at the creatures within. She focused all her anger into the most powerful beam of energy she could muster, slicing the ship nearly in half, causing it to fall from the sky. Then before it could hit, she blasted to the ground and fired again and again until the ship was vaporized.

Oliver approached, but Kara's body was so hot, no one could get closer than 20 feet. She turned and looked at Oliver, tears streaming down her face, "Lena?", then she collapsed.

Twelve feet behind Kara, the ground erupted, and Alex, Sara and Lena emerged. They all saw Kara's form lying on the ground and rushed to her. The heat was still powerful, but they couldn't stop. Suddenly, Frost was there, cooling Kara down, Alex checked her, she was breathing. Lena was on the verge of tears. "What happened?"

Oliver answered, "She saved us all Lena, she blew the ship to pieces."

"Was she glowing Oliver?", Alex asked.

"Yes, like a small sun."

"She supernova'd Lena, she will be okay, but no powers for a couple of weeks."

"Thank Rao, but why?"

"You're why Lena, she couldn't hear your heartbeat. She thought you were gone."

"Oh my god, my poor Zhao."

"We need to get her home, now, under the lamps."

"My suit is gone Alex."

"Negative Lena, Tempest has arrived."

"Harley?"

"You have a few backup suits thanks to Kara, she had them made before the battle started."

Lena stepped into her suit, lifted Kara, and zoomed home. Once there, she settled her into the Sunroom. Sara and Alex arrived an hour later. Alex checked Kara's vitals, everything was good, except she didn't seem to be waking up."

"Alex?"

"She will wake up Lena, but her power output was incredible. News drones caught the blast and you could see it from the International Space Station."

"What?"

Alex flipped on the news, and sure enough there was an image of Kara going full supernova with the headline, 'Supergirl Saves the World.' Then the picture changed, and you could see the light burst from space.

"Wow."

Kara's vitals started to jump. "She's having a nightmare.", Alex said, then remembered Astra, "Harley call up Astra file 02."

Astra formed, "Hello Ms. Danvers."

"Astra, please sing Kara's lullaby from Krypton."

"Very well", the hologram stated, then started singing. The effect was immediate, Kara settled down and went back to sleep.

"Harley, if Kara's vitals spike, and her REM pattern changes, please start the lullaby again."

"Yes Alex, I understand."

"Lena, we are going to go up and take a shower, we need food, what do you want?"

Lena thought for second, "Pizza and Pot stickers and donuts"

Alex smiled, "I'll order when I get up there."

30 minutes later, Sara and Alex came back downstairs. "Hey Lena.", Sara said, "Go upstairs hon, we will watch her, besides the food should show up while you are up there."

"Okay"

Lena was in the shower, when Kara started to stir. She came to, "Alex", the turned, "Sara". "Where's Lena?", her heart rate started to spike. "Oh Rao, I lost her, she's gone?"

Suddenly Lena appeared in the doorway, wearing a towel. "Kara, I'm right here."

"Zhao, you're okay?"

"Yes, Tempest saved us, combined with Sara's canary cry.", Lena explained, "We overcharged the crystals, and it made the forcefield strong enough to resist the blast."

"Thank Rao, I thought you were gone, all of you, I lost it, I lost my temper, did I hurt anyone, is everyone okay."

"Kara slow down, you saved the planet", Sara said. "We had some injuries, but your tech saved everyone and then you kinda took down the whole ship."

"I supernova'd, didn't I Alex.?"

"Yeah sis, it was impressive as hell."

"How long?"

"Two weeks minimum."

"Wow, I really blew myself out."

"Wait a minute,", Lena interrupted, then swore in three languages Kara spoke, one she didn't and Kryptonian.

"Lee, language."

"You are discussing this like it isn't a big deal."

"Lena I'm okay, the enemy is defeated, and my family is together."

"But you could have died."

"Lee, I have faced my mortality several times, I made peace with it."

"But I haven't, I just got you, I want you around for a long, long time Kara Zor-El."

"Lee, I'm here now, and I will be by your side for as long as Rao allows. I promise to always be there for you.", then she got up off the bed and walked over to Lena, gathered her in her arms and just held her.

"Your food is being delivered."

"Pizza and pot stickers meet you upstairs.", Alex said as she and Sara headed up.

Kara released Lena, who looked up at her Super and simply smiled. "I love you Kara."

Kara looked into those beautiful green eyes, "And I love you Lena."
