CH 33
A collision of two titans. A mortal duel is what was going to happen between the two Karas if it wasn't because their weakness is in front of them. Yes, these two blondes have a weakness for green. And, we're not talking about Kryptonite, we're talking about the two piercing green eyes which are looking at them, as they are flying in the sky and fighting as two savages.
"You two stop this madness! Right now!"
"But…"
"To the ground! Now!"
Yelling very loud, Lena forces them to land. The encounter started when they were on the plane but the moment Lena landed and got out of the plane, she got their attention immediately. Like two kids, they pout while Lena scolds them.
"I ban any fight between the two of you!"
"But, Lena…"
"No 'buts'! Now, shake hands and put an end to this conflict"
The CEO is leaving no room for a discussion. If she says 'no fight', it's 'no' and both Kara angrily puff their cheeks and cross their arms as they don't agree with the dear Luthor.
"But, Lena, she started this, she…"
"I didn't start anything! You came here and started to act hostile!"
"I'm Supergirl! I'm not hostile!"
"You're hostile with me! You threw the 1st punch!"
"Because you kissed my wife!"
Both blondes were having a strong discussion, red eyes ready to shoot lasers to each other but, once again, before these two could hurt each other, Lena strongly scolded them and put an end to their fight when she slapped them on the back of the head.
"Auch!"
"Stop acting like two big dummies!"
Lena lectures them about their silly behavior and both blonde sadly pout as they see the dear Luthor very angry.
"She's scary…"
Mumbles Red daughter to the other blonde who replies.
"You have no idea"
Their arrival to Kaznia was far from being perfect but everything changed the moment that Kara & Lena learned about how Red Daughter came to their world.
"You… you're part of me?"
Kara mumbles in shock as she realizes that this Kara is a version of her which came into existence as a consequence of the use of Harun-El to fight Reign. Like a torrent of dark magic, her doppleganger hit Siberia, a cold land which has brought her nothing more than pain. Confined in a cell, forced to train to become a human weapon. Watch her only friend die. Now, Kara understands better why this version of her is so cold and mad against the world. And, that's why the 1st instinct of Kara is to hug her other self.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"I'm hugging you! Because life has been so hard on you! I'm so sorry!"
"Get off of me, dummy!"
Red Daughter tries to push away a crying Kara away but Supergirl is glued to her, sobbing and crushing her into a big hug. Lena smiles when she sees the soft heart of her wife, sobbing for all the injustice that her other half has endured.
The Soviet Kara was supposed to kill Kara, she was supposed to hate her and fight her to the Death. But, her supposed enemy is hugging, is crying for all the bad things she has endured so, somehow, Red Daughter doesn't find a way to do what she promised to do.
"I'm sorry, Alex, I cannot kill her after all"
"Alex? You know Alex?"
Red Daughter keeps telling her story and she even becomes their guide inside the big bunker that Alex, aka Lex Luthor used to put his plans in motion.
"He's not Alex! He's Lex! My psycho brother who brainwashed you!"
Lena snaps, she's so angry to find out how Lex manipulated the other Kara. She wants to put an end to Lex and all his evil actions. But, making him look like the bad guy in front of the world and in front of the eyes of Red Daughter is not going to be easy. But, if Lena says he's bad, if Lena says that all has been a lie, then, Red Daughter decides to follow her heart and not her brain because she has no intention to be against Lena after all.
For the Soviet Kara, Lex was the good guy. Lex did a great job on blinding her to believe that. The blonde never thought she would ever betray her Alex, but once again, Lex underestimated Lena. Because, one look from those green eyes, it's all what Red Daughter needed to sell out Lex without hesitation.
'Anything for Lena' said Red Daughter and Kara looks very jealous of all this devotion towards her dear Lena. But, you cannot fight against love, especially when Kara realizes that the Soviet Kara has a big collection of pictures of Lena. Red Daughter shows them her most precious treasure she has on her cell, pictures of Lena on the walls, on every inch of her room.
Lena gasps, feeling chills for all this attention towards her. It's a little creepy to realize that all this time, she had a big stalker but to be honest, she has two big stalkers because…
"OMG! I've the same picture!"
"What?!"
Lena says in shock as she watches her wife and the other Kara starting to exchange pictures and compare notes about their stalking habits.
"I can't believe we got the same picture of her, drinking her coffee"
"I still recall that day, she was wearing the black dress that…"
"That has a great cleavage! I love that dress!"
"Me too!"
Lena rolls her eyes, she can't believe the conversation she's hearing right now.
"We're so near her to take all these shots and she never notices it, right?"
"Yeah, that scares me a little, she has her guard down very often. There are a lot of creepy guys out there, she should be more careful about her surroundings"
Kara nods, she agrees with Red Daughter and Lena just rolls her eyes because to be honest, she should be more careful about these two creepy Kriptonians who stalk her 24/24h, 7/7.
"Now, I understand why I always feel like I'm being watched. You two, you understand that this behavior is wrong, right? And, that you need to stop, right?"
Both Karas shake their head, refusing to stop their hobby of stalking her all the time.
"We must sear every detail of your life into our memories and if it's possible, get records of it"
From the moment Lena wakes up, goes to the gym, takes her 1st cup of coffee, takes a nap on the couch, or even when she's sleeping with the mouth open and drooling, the two Karas have a big collection of moments of Lena that the brunette wish they weren't in photos because it's just embarrassing to watch.
"Shadowing people is wrong and a waste of your time!"
"It's not a waste of time! It's a token of our love for you!"
"OMG! I can't believe you're my stalkers! I'll not have another choice but to report you to the authorities, right?"
"Lee, me and the other Kara, we're not stalkers! We are simply watching over you from far, constantly following you, always hearing all your conversations, taking more than 50 pictures of you by day and compiling information about you and your day-to-day, as much as possible"
"Darling, that's the meaning of the word: 'stalker'..."
"Oh…"
Kara giggles and Lena rolls her eyes as she notices how both Kara's have no intention to be limited to worshiping her. It's a little creepy to be honest even if both Karas say that it's a gesture of pure love.
Picture after picture, Kara hits the jackpot when she finds some olds pictures of Lena, when she was a child.
"Aww! You've pictures of baby Lena? How did you get them?"
"What?! How did she get those photos of me?!"
"Alex… I mean, Lex had lots of photo albums of his family, I got all these pictures from him"
Kara's eyes are glowing as she sees an adorable Lena, angrily posing for a picture. She has always wanted to see Lena when she was a kid, but Lillian hasn't shared anything because Lena has made it very clear to never show that.
'You show a picture of myself when I was a kid and, you'll never see your little heirs' Under such threat, Lillian has never dared to show any picture of Lena when she was a kid. Kara had lost hope to ever see any old picture of Lena till now. And, no matter how much Lena tries to compels to stop watching so embarrassing pictures of her as she grew up, the blonde has no intention to stop.
"Awww, little Lena is so cute! Adorable!"
"Lex, I'm gonna kill you for this!"
Lena closes her fists as she has another reason to hate Lex. It's scary to see Lena like this. And, if you think that Lena is scary, you've no idea how scary her daughter can be. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree since Clarke is as scary as her mother, or even more if she feels the need to protect those she loves. And, there's no one she loves more than…
"Lexa!"
The little blonde screams the name of the girl who has been pushed to the ground by a boy, named Roan.
Many miles away from Lena & Kara, their kids were invited to a birthday's party from an old friend of Alex. As any other time, the super kids were following the only rule that their moms always say: 'no powers in front of normal people'. They are very little to understand how this world works and why they have the need to hide from others. But, they respect that rule. They don't fly, they don't use their super strength when they are around ordinary people.
Yes, they follow Kara & Lena's rule to the letter till now. Till the moment when Clarke sees from afar how this boy pushes her dear Lexa to the ground with no reason. The blue eyes of little Clarke became red, her rage was unstoppable and she would have definitely hurt someone if it wasn't for Lexa, who stops her.
"No! Clarke! No!"
The little brunette was on her feet again, as soon as she saw how the bubbled blue eyes of Clarke became red. She's strong enough to fight her own battles, but, mostly, she doesn't want Clarke to do something she might regret. So, little Lexa rushes towards Clarke, cupping her cheeks with her little hands, she forces the blonde to look at her. And, it's just when green meets blue that Clarke is able to cool down.
"Lexa"
Lexa smiles when the red of her eyes is gone and, once again, there's nothing more than the beautiful blue on those innocent eyes.
"It's okay. I'm okay"
"He pushed you!"
Little Clarke pouts, still angry with what she saw. And, Lexa chuckles happy, because Clarke looks so cute when she's upset.
"No powers"
"But…"
"No powers, Clarke"
Clarke puffs her cheeks, she understands that she made a promise to not use her powers or her laser vision in front of people. Specially, hurting others, it's something she's not supposed to do. She knows that, but she cannot let this Roan get away with what he did. So, that's why, without powers, she puts him in his place when she eats all his cake, without leaving anything for him.
"Mommy!"
The little Roan runs towards his mother, crying because he couldn't taste his Superman's cake. And, Clarke smirks happily because he made him cry, but…
"Clarke, you ate it all?"
The little blonde just giggles to her Aunty Alex and her grandmas who are looking at her with a disapproval look. The grown-ups don't look happy about it, just like her siblings who didn't have the chance to eat cake.
"No powers, Clarke, remember?"
Says Eliza as she cleans the messy face of the little blonde.
"I don't think that eating a lot is a superpower, mom"
Alex says and everybody chuckles as they recall how Kara did the same when she almost ate their wedding cake. There are pictures about it, Kara with the mouth filled with cake as Lena just smiles, at her side, trying to clean her messy face with a napkin.
"Cake… I want cake"
Says Alec and Izzy with a cute pout and, giving up to their pout, Lillian proposes to leave the party right now and buy them a cake on their way home.
"Awww, look at you, Lillian, you're a softy with your grandkids!"
"Oh, shut up, Eliza, and, let's just go"
They grab their belongings and go home. Lillian buys so many cakes and sweet things that Alex gets worried that their kids will have a sugar coma after eating so much. But, all they have are happy tummies and happy smiles. Yeah, everyone was happy, especially Clarke, till she, once again, saw her precious Lexa on the floor, but, this time, no one pushed her down.
"Lexa!"
Alex rushes towards her kid as soon as she hears the scream of Clarke, everyone gets worried, especially when the little brunette starts to have seizures.
"Lexa!"
Alex says in tears and no one has a clue what is happening till the beautiful green eyes of Lexa become black. Black like…
"Harun-El… she's having a reaction to the serum of Harun-El"
Lena mumbles on the phone as she's talking on the phone with Alex, her sister in law who's freaking out right now in Midvale. Of course, Alex is over the edge, her kid is sick by the serum which was supposed to save its life. The day when Lexa got shot because of Alex, it's the worst day in Alex's life till now. Till the day when she feels once again powerless to help her child.
"Alex, please. Calm down. We're gonna fix this, I promise"
Lena tries to steady Alex's nerves but, it's hard to do it, miles away. She was still in Kaznia, collecting files and data from all the things they found thanks to the help of the other Kara.
"Lillian has all my research about the Harun-El. She will start working on a solution. But, we need to go back now, Alex needs us"
Kara nods, she needs to be there for Alex and Lena is sure that Lillian is smart enough to find a solution to the problem but she wants to help. She needs to help. After all, she created the Harun-El serum and feels guilty as once again, one of her creations is causing pain to others.
"This is my fault. I did this! I…"
A tear fell from her green eyes and two hands rushed to wipe it out. Once again, the two Karas want to fight over Lena, but they care enough, for the dear Luthor, to understand that right now, they need to put aside their differences and be there for her.
"It's not your fault, Lena"
"It's gonna be okay, Lena"
Lena chuckles when she hears both Kara's, giving her words of encouragement and hugging her with nothing more than an immense love. She could get used to this, to have two Karas hugging her, loving her. It's a sweet dream which doesn't last too long since once again, her brother has no intention to let her live happily.
"Lex!"
Armed with his green suit, Lex is flying over them, ready to fight them. Missiles are on their way towards them and Supergirl is getting ready to fight when her other self stops her.
"Leave with Lena, now. I'll take care of them while you leave"
"What? But…"
"Lena must stay safe. No matter what…"
"We're not gonna leave you behind!"
Lena says as she holds Red Daughter's arm. She cannot lose a part of Kara, she refuses to do that. And, Kara wants to argue with Red Daughter too about this decision, but she knows she will not make her change her mind. So, the two Karas just exchange looks and say nothing else as they understand very well what they need to do.
Everything happens so fast, one minute Kara was using her superspeed to put Lena, safe and sound in the plane with all the data they collected, and then, Lena screams with tears in her eyes when she sees through the window of the plane a big explosion.
"Kara!"
It wasn't her Kara but it was still a version of Kara. A version of Kara who cared deeply for her, or why would she risk her life because of Lena? That's all Lena can think as they fly their way back home.
"Do you think she's alive?"
Lena mumbles, tears still rolling over her cheeks as she recalls the big explosion they saw.
"I don't know. But, I hope so…"
Kara wasn't a big fan of the other Kara. But, she would never wish the death to anyone, not even to her worst enemy. The flight home is quiet as both women have no clue of what is coming next. But, if you should know, what is coming is far from what they are prepared to face as it has been predicted, a fatal doom is coming.
