Kara woke up to the smell of a tasty breakfast. Getting up, she saw two plates containing pancakes, biscuits, sausage, and hash-browns. "You finally learned to cook breakfast," Kara said impressed with Mon.
"If you mean me going down to McDonald's and getting a breakfast platter then sure," Mon replied.
"Have you ever cooked in your life?" Kara asked disappointedly.
"That kind of work is meant for female servants," Mon told her.
"Men can be chefs too," Kara pointed out.
"And when they are, they are the best like Iron Chef," Mon smirked.
"I'd argue with you further to dispute your bullshit, but I'm starving," Kara said digging in. "Hey, any word from your parents?"
"Nope, probably plotting to kill you, I imagine," Mon said nonchalantly.
"Would you rather have in-laws that are dead or alive but wanting to kill you?" Kara asked.
"I would rather have them alive. It makes it more interesting when it's personal," Mon answered.
"Alien rampage in Metropolis, yet again," the news anchor reported.
"Well...shit," Kara said annoyed.
Kara flew straight for the attacking alien with the laser eye-patch. The alien had reptilian skin and horns on his head. Kara came in just in time to block a laser beam from incinerating a couple. "Move guys. This is how super-heroes end up breaking necks and getting hated on for a generation," Kara told them.
The alien fired again but Kara blocked the beam with her hand. Walking up to him, she blasted his laser eyepiece off. "You are one ugly mother-fucker," Kara said as she punched him to the torso and legs breaking several bones. Kara then punched through his head killing him to the amazement and disgust of the crowd.
"I need a cleanup team to send another alien bastard to the morgue," Kara radioed the DEO.
Hank took a video call from President Donald Trump, himself, in the conference room at the DEO. "Mr. President," Hank addressed respectfully.
"I understand Supergirl killed another hostile alien in Metropolis this morning," Trump remarked.
"Yes, its been taken care of," Hank said.
"You know, the galaxy isn't sending its best. They're sending murderers, rapists, and thieves, and some, I assume are good people," Trump said.
"Well, we do our best to kill or imprison the bad ones," Hank smiled.
"Very good, but I have other concerns as well, director. What is going on with that Saiyan ship?" Trump asked.
"It's hovering over Iceland as we speak. They appear to be doing training exercises on the beach, hand-to-hand combat mostly," Hank said.
"Iceland is a NATO ally...but they haven't been paying their fair share. They owe NATO at least two percent of their GDP, and they're not doing it," Trump said.
"So, fuck'em?" Hank wondered.
"Exactly right, director. What are the Saiyan weapon capabilities?" Trump asked.
"Their shields are strong enough to deflect a nuclear missile. Their weapon systems are powerful enough to level a city within a few hours. The ship itself is not as dangerous as the Saiyans themselves. Each one of them has super-human strength and the ability to produce energy waves from their own ki," Hank said.
"I was elected to end wars, not start them. I think we could make a very favorable trade deal with the Saiyans," Trump said.
"I am always hopeful for peace," Hank allowed.
"I know that Supergirl had a brief fight with the ship over Metropolis. I need you to reign her in before this becomes an intergalactic war," Trump ordered.
"Understood, Mr. President," Hank said reluctantly.
"I'll be in touch. You and the rest of the DEO are doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work," Trump said and then signed off.
Trump then turned to VP Mike Pence who was out of view of the camera. "So, how was that?" Trump asked him.
"Very good," Pence nodded.
Kara and Mon came to the DEO in civilians. Hank approached Kara about the alien she had just killed. "Remember that alien you fought this morning?" Hank asked.
"Yeah," Kara recalled.
"He's from a race of bounty hunters," Hank said.
"We found a message inside the alien when we did the autopsy," Winn said and activated a hologram of Supergirl.
"Hey, that's me," Kara pointed out immaturely.
"Supergirl: focus," Hank snapped at her.
"Three hundred quartz crowns upon proof of death," the message continued.
"Is that a lot?" Kara asked Mon.
"A quartz crown is like ten bucks," Mon said.
"The bounty on my head is only three thousand dollars? What the fuck?" Kara said outraged.
"Oh, wait, my calculation was wrong," Mon said using a calculator. "It's actually worth a typical-sized planet."
"That's more like it," Kara said pleased.
"For that kind of money, every scumbag in the galaxy will be trying to kill you," Hank said.
"Excellent," Kara said brightly.
"Yeah, except for all the civilians that will be killed in the crossfire," Alex said.
"Alex is right. You need to lay low until we know who is behind this," Hank said.
"You want me to hide? You must be fucking high if you think I'll do that," Kara refused.
"Sometimes hiding is a strategic necessity," Alex said.
"Yeah, bullshit. I don't need strategy when I got these guns," Kara said raising her fists.
"Actually, I too think you should hide," Mon chimed in.
"Your opinion doesn't count, because you're likely working for the enemy," Kara said dismissively. "I know exactly who is behind this. It's your mother," Kara said obviously.
"Look, if you go out there and cause a big fight in Metropolis, the president will have my ass," Hank said.
"So, now it all becomes clear," Kara realized.
"Wait...this isn't about her safety?" Alex wondered.
"Fuck no, she's practically invincible," Hank said.
"Thank you," Kara said pleased.
"I need you to be a team player," Hank said to Kara.
"Only if you make Alex work late, so she misses her date," Kara said.
"Done!" Hank agreed
"What the fuck?" Alex wondered.
"I need you to search the databases for other aliens that might be on this bounty hunter network," Hank instructed her.
"I can write a program that can have the databases read themselves," Winn said helpfully.
"Sounds like you signed up for more work," Hank said to him.
King Mon and Queen Rhea casually toured the alien gay bar. "This is positively queer," Queen Rhea remarked.
"Mother, father," Mon greeted them and placed two drinks on a table.
"Can I get a pint, dude?" a random alien asked.
"I'm not working, today. Talk to Rhonda," Mon told him.
"You work here...as a servant?" King Mon realized.
"Yes and no. I'm here to gather intelligence on what aliens are doing here on Earth. I'm very good at getting people to talk about things they don't want to talk about," Mon said.
"And why are you doing this job?" King Mon wondered.
"It's a requirement for Kara to train me," Mon said awkwardly.
"So, this Kryptonian orders you around. You sound positively whipped, Mon," Queen Rhea frowned.
"Damn, well, I wanted to talk about something else. I think the two of you put a bounty on Kara's life," Mon accused.
"Quite the active imagination you got there," King Mon said condescendingly.
"Who else has 300 quartz crowns and wants her dead?" Mon said, not backing off.
"Kara has no shortage of enemies," Queen Rhea reminded him.
"I assure you, we have nothing to do with this," King Mon said.
"So, why are you still here?" Mon asked.
"We're hoping you will come to your senses," King Mon said obviously.
"We've spent years looking for you. Did you really think we would give up after only a few weeks?" Queen Rhea asked him. "I would rather die than leave Earth without you."
"All we want is for you to come home. We wish no harm to your friend," King Mon said.
"We're your parents. When you call, we come, even to a place like this," Queen Rhea sneered at the those around her.
That night, Alex and Maggie had dinner and were waiting for Maggie's ex, Emily. "Maybe, she's having trouble parking," Alex excused.
"Yeah, bullshit. She's always late which is why I dumped her ass after five years," Maggie said.
"Damn, that's cold," Alex said. "I feel bad for pushing this on you," Alex said sincerely.
"If it weren't for the fact that you have no dating experience, I would actually be pissed-off, right now," Maggie admitted.
"Well, I'm sorry," Alex said awkwardly.
"When we go out, can you wear this ring," Maggie said handing it over to her.
"Is this an engagement ring?" Alex wondered.
"No, it's just something to make sure I know it's you and not your boss," Maggie said slightly paranoid.
"Oh my God, how often does he impersonate me?" Alex asked.
"One time is one time too many," Maggie said annoyed.
"Let's get out of here," Alex said. "Check," she called out.
Meanwhile, Kara, James, and Winn played a game of Monopoly. "I hate this," Kara muttered.
"What, the game?" James wondered.
"Well, yeah, I'm almost broke, but I also went to go out and stretch my legs a bit," Kara said and then noticed a car chase on the Television.
"Oh, shit," Winn realized.
Kara's eyes flashed as she suddenly desired to get out. Mon then entered the apartment distracting her for the moment. "Mon, I'm happy you're here," James said relieved.
"Like he can stop me," Kara scoffed. "Where were you?" she questioned.
"Talking to my parents. They said they didn't do it," Mon reported.
"Yeah, bullshit," Kara doubted.
Mon grabbed a beer and then suddenly dropped it breaking it all over the floor. "You're cleaning that up," Kara said peeved.
Mon tensed up and then aimed his hand at Kara. "What the hell?" James wondered as Mon blasted Kara through the window.
Kara was flung outside and then landed on the roof of a parking lot complex. Mon instantly appeared near her and punched her to the forehead. "Really?" Kara asked unimpressed and punched him through a parked car.
Mon got up and tried to punch and kick at her. Kara easily dodged every attack. "I can't control myself," Mon said.
"I would hope so, because your technique sucks," Kara said as she continued to dodge him.
Guardian then intervened firing a rope at Mon. He dodged it, grabbed the rope, and flung Guardian into a car. Mon aimed his hand at Guardian for a killer strike when Kara got in front of him. Guardian was shielded from the blast by Kara. Her clothes were incinerated in the blast revealing her Supergirl uniform.
"Good thing I always wear this thing underneath my clothes," Kara said sheepishly.
Mon then kicked Kara into the sky and released a solar flare that lit up the sky as if it were day, blinding Kara for a brief moment. Mon then powered up energy orbs in his hands and started firing into the sky. Kara watched unimpressed as the energy orbs went passed her. "You should work on your aim," she critiqued.
"He's not aiming," Mon said as he continued to fire into the sky.
"What?" Kara wondered and then realized there were floating orbs above her, below her, and from all sides of her. "Oh, shit," she realized.
Mon put his hands together sending all the orbs towards a single point. Kara was hit full force creating a powerful explosion in the air that blasted out nearby windows. When the smoke had cleared, Kara was unharmed. Mon then launched off the parking lot roof and fought with her in midair. The two of them went progressively higher in the air punching and kicking at each other.
Mon charged up a red aura dramatically increasing his speed and power. Kara kept up with him leading him towards outer space. Mon fired continually into the air missing Kara each time. Kara finally backhanded him to the chest. Mon plummeted downwards and hit the Atlantic Ocean like a bullet. He didn't stop until he hit the bottom with a thud.
Kara came to the DEO where the creepy bounty hunter was locked up. Winn had apprehended him using a stapler. "A stapler? Really? You're the worst bounty hunter in the universe," Kara chided.
"Where's Mon?" Alex wondered.
"He's swimming with the fishes," Kara said sadly.
"You killed him?" Alex asked shocked.
"No, he's literally swimming with the fishes," Kara clarified. "So, what's your deal?" she asked the creepy bounty hunter.
"I am the most powerful telepath in the Alcorian system," he said. "You'll never get me to talk. You, humans, are too moral to do what's necessary."
"Where do you think you are? Canada? This is America, and I have no problem torturing your ass," Kara said dangerously.
Mon then suddenly appeared in soaking wet clothes. He powered up drying himself instantly. "Your oceans are quite deep," he remarked.
"I know, right?" Kara smiled.
"Stand down. I'll handle this," Hank said.
"Come at me, bro," the telepath challenged.
The two stared at each for a few minutes. "I bet I could get this done quicker my way," Kara said bored.
"It was the Insane," Hank finally said.
"Well, no shit, Sherlock," Kara rolled her eyes.
"It was Queen Rhea that put out the bounty," the telepath revealed.
Kara and Mon took a stroll around the DEO. "For a moment there, I thought they were telling the truth," he said.
"Your naivety is amusing," Kara chuckled.
"They honestly believe that if they get rid of you, I'll go with them," Mon said.
"Well, are they right?" Kara asked.
"Yeah, without you I have no reason to stay in this shithole," Mon said.
"Your boyfriend is an asshole," Alex remarked.
"At least he's honest. When was Maggie going to tell you about her girlfriend of five years?" Kara asked.
"Wait, how did you know about that? Are you spying on me?" Alex asked outraged.
"We need to do this the American way and retaliate," Kara said ignoring Alex's question.
"Listen, their shields and weapons are very powerful," Winn reminded her.
"Yeah, whatever," Kara scoffed. "We can use Mon's instant transmission to get inside the ship."
"We can't take any action against the Insane. The president doesn't want to start an intergalactic war so early in his term," Hank rejected.
"They attacked us," Alex pointed out.
"I'll brief the president and get further instructions. In the meantime, our mission is to keep Supergirl safe," Hank said.
"Safe from what?" Kara rolled her eyes.
At her apartment, Kara stared at her broken window and then used her eyes to repair it back to before. "That's handy," Mon remarked.
"Well, Superman pulled this power out of his ass to repair the Great Wall of China. I figured I should give it a try," Kara said.
"I know of this planet with oceans and a yellow sun. My mother will never find us there. We could be the new Adam and Eve of this paradise," Mon said.
"Is there a race already there?" Kara questioned.
"No," Mon lied.
"Tell me the truth," Kara said knowingly.
"There is," Mon relented.
"And you were wanting to subjugate them, weren't you?" Kara asked condescendingly.
"Yes," Mon admitted.
"You see, that wasn't so hard," Kara smiled. "I can't leave without Alex and besides I am not afraid of your mother."
"That telepath said you were only the second most powerful person on this planet," Mon said concernedly.
"He might be referring to the Hulk. That guy's a beast," Kara grinned.
"Why don't you be with him?" Mon asked jealously.
"Because the bigger his muscles get, the smaller his penis becomes," Kara said sadly.
"My parents won't stop trying to kill you," Mon said seriously.
"Good, it's better than in-laws that act nice and then back-stab you. At least, I know where your parents stand," Kara said.
"I need to talk to them again before you end up killing them," Mon sighed.
"I'll come if you need moral support," Kara said brightly.
"But J'onn said not to engage them," Mon pointed out.
"Fuck that guy," Kara rolled her eyes.
"It's pointless. People don't change," Mon said subdued.
"Well, you sure haven't. I have done everything I can to civilize you, but you're still a savage," Kara agreed.
"So, what's the point?" Mon asked.
"To see their pissed-off faces," Kara said obviously.
"Alright then, I'll arrange a meeting," Mon said.
"On my turf," Kara told him.
Kara and Mon waited inside the Fortress of Solitude. "Did we really have to come here?" Mon asked shivering.
"You have a jacket," Kara said unsympathetically.
"What if you two fight and destroy this place?" Mon asked.
"Well, it ain't my house," Kara said dismissively.
Queen Rhea suddenly teleported inside the fortress. "I think I prefer the bar," she said unimpressed.
"This place is sacred to me and my cousin, so you can go fuck yourself," Kara said.
"Dropping all pretenses, I see," Queen Rhea glared at Kara.
"Look, we know it was you that ordered the hit on Kara. One of your bounty hunters gave you up," Mon said.
"How do you know he wasn't lying? He might say anything to avoid the pain of torture," Queen Rhea said.
"Yeah, well you see, I made it clear to him I was going to torture him regardless of whether he told me the truth. We have a mind-reader with us," Kara smirked.
"The Green Martian," Queen Rhea realized. "Alright, I did it, but it was to save my son from being killed."
"I would never kill Mon. He's too much fun," Kara assured her.
"Not from you. From the dark one. Once he thinks he has a chance, he will go off to fight him and get himself killed. You will never be able to defeat him, not within a thousand lifetimes," Queen Rhea said to Mon.
"I will avenge our people," Mon said stubbornly.
"You are our heir. Your duty is to continue the dynasty that has lasted eight thousand years," Queen Rhea told him.
"If you only knew how powerful I have become," Mon glared at her and then powered up. A red aura flared around him and the ice around them began to crack.
"Can we do this outside?" Kara said concernedly.
"Do not interfere, Kryptonian," Queen Rhea warned Kara.
"Have at him," Kara said stepping away from them.
"Do you see my power now?" Mon said as his red aura turned the entire fortress red.
Queen Rhea suddenly punched him hard to the chest breaking a few ribs. Mon's aura disappeared as he fell to the floor devastated. Mon got back up shakily and tried to punch at his mother. Queen Rhea easily dodged the attack and punched him several times to the head and chest before he could react. The broken Mon face-planted in the snow.
"So, this is the result of your training? Pathetic. You wouldn't last one second against the dark one," Queen Rhea sneered as Mon struggled to get up.
"Alright, as much as I like to see Mon suffer...and I do, I think you're good," Kara interrupted her.
"Begone, thot," Queen Rhea sneered and fired an energy blast at her.
"Look, I don't want to embarrass you in front of your son, but...," Kara began and then felt herself get thrown through the fortress, through one hundred meters of ice, and then tossed into the arctic water.
"Beam us up," Queen Rhea ordered the Insane battleship. The two then teleported away to the ship.
On the Insane battleship, King Mon gave Queen Rhea and the broken Prince Mon a pleased expression. "I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see you," he said.
"Hate you, hate you both," Prince Mon muttered unable to move.
Queen Rhea took a metal headband and placed it on Mon's head. "I am quite aware of your instant transmission technique. You will wear this crown until we are far enough away from this shithole planet that I can be assured you won't go back to it. And remember this, there's nowhere in this galaxy you can hide from me."
Queen Rhea then turned to her servants. "Clean him up," she ordered taking him away.
"You issued the bounty," King Mon assumed.
"What of it?" Queen Rhea didn't deny it.
"Your loyalty to me and to our people is unquestionable," King Mon said giving her wrist an affectionate kiss.
Kara stared at the sky as she floated in the arctic water. "This is a new feeling for me: Pride in someone else. Unfortunately, it's overshadowed by my unyielding RAGE!" Kara screamed as she shot out of the water into the sky.
Kara accelerated several Mach speeds per second as she approached space. The Insane battleship prepared to go to light speed as it exited Earth's atmosphere. "We have a bogie headed towards us," an Insane officer reported to the king and queen.
"It's her," King Mon realized. "She can live in space?"
Kara ignited in Prime-mode as she got closer to light speed herself. "The impact alone would destroy the entire ship," King Mon said concernedly.
"Dispatch the drones," Queen Rhea ordered urgently.
Drones departed the Insane battleship and rocketed towards Kara. She dismissed them and focused on the Insane battleship firing heat vision at its engines, damaging them preventing their escape to light-speed. Drones went straight for her and locked onto her arms and legs. Kara's powers suddenly shut down as the drones attached to her.
"Kryptonite!" Kara realized as the drones glowed green.
Queen Rhea smirked as Kara slowed down relative to the Insane battleship. Kara struggled to use her Prime-mode to keep herself alive in the cold vacuum of space. The energy shield that preserved her air supply was deteriorating making her very mortal.
"Fuck me," Kara gasped as she was running out of air. The cold of space was started to freeze her skin and her eyes became bloodshot.
"Go for a pass. Let's finish her off," Queen Rhea said to King Mon's reluctant approval.
The Insane battleship turned around and aimed their guns on her. Kara felt her body shut down as her body became cold. "Alex, I'm so sorry," Kara said as she passed out.
The Insane battleship fired everything they had at Kara's drifting body. The beams were blocked by a red cape. Superman gritted his teeth as he felt the full force of their attacks. Using his heat vision, he blasted off the drones on Kara's limbs and then took her back towards the Earth.
Superman gently brought Kara into Earth's atmosphere and had her bathe in sunlight. Kara's cold body began to warm up and her strength started to return. "Why, Kal?" Kara asked confused.
"Because we're family," Superman said obviously.
Superman flew into the DEO and gently gave her to the medics. "Kara!" Alex practically shrieked as she saw her.
"She will be fine. She just needs rest," Superman smiled.
"Thank you, Superman," Hank said gratefully.
Superman gave Hank a wink and then flew out the exit.
Kara rested on a medical bed bathing her in solar radiation. Her wounds quickly healed. As she awoke, Alex was there at her side. "That was dumb of you to fight an alien battleship in space," Alex chided.
"I know," Kara admitted.
"No witty comeback," Alex said disappointed.
Kara hesitated to reply. "Maggie cheated on Emily, FYI."
"How could you know that?" Alex asked flabbergasted.
"That memory kiss goes both ways. As I delete memories, I see others," Kara said.
"You've known this the entire time, since Maggie and I first started working together?" Alex asked hurt.
"You're welcome," Kara said getting out of the bed.
"Well, your boyfriend is a psycho killer and so are the rest of his race," Alex pointed out.
"I know. You have to decide for yourself what you're willing to accept in another," Kara said walking out to the command center.
"Glad to see you're awake," Hank said pleased.
"I want to use that teleportation device we got to get Mon back," Kara said seriously.
"Absolutely not. I have strict orders from the president to not make a move against them. This planet is worth more than your boyfriend," Hank said condescendingly.
"I agree. This is too dangerous. You were nearly killed. They knew how and where to strike at you," Alex said.
"Mon is gone, and they're not coming back. Accept it," Hank said to her.
Queen Rhea came to inspect her son. The headband on his head made it impossible for him to focus on his ki. "I can't trust you not to kill yourself by destroying this ship and everyone on board. But...I can't let you go either, my son."
Mon could only glare at her and tense up as waves of pain went through his mind caused by the device. "Son, don't you see that your training with that Kryptonian was a waste of time? I will complete your training, and you can become the legend. Together, we will defeat the dark one," Queen Rhea said to him.
"Why must it be one or the other?" Mon struggled to say.
"The Kryptonian cannot teach you anything. She doesn't even understand the concept of ki. Her strength derives from sunlight. She didn't train for years as I have to harness one's raw energy and focus it," Queen Rhea said.
"But a child between us could take on the strengths of both our races," Mon suggested.
"Forget the Kryptonian," Queen Rhea said dismissively. "I have other plans in any case. Once the Kryptonian is dead, we will conquer Earth. But we won't be going back until I know you're on my side."
Queen Rhea then flared up a purple aura that burned Mon's skin. He screamed in pain as she stood near him. "Just being in my presence is enough to kill you," she said unimpressed.
Mon's skin turned red and started to blister. "We only become stronger after we heal," Queen Rhea said as she gave him a green bean. As he ate it, his skin returned to normal.
Queen Rhea then began another session with a bowl filled with beans at her side. Mon's screams echoed through the ship.
Kara flew into the Oval Office unannounced late at night. It was empty except for Vice President Mike Pence sitting on a couch reading his Bible. "I need to speak to the president," Kara said urgently.
"He's predisposed at the moment," Pence stood up to greet her.
"I think what I have to say is more important than watching CNN and tweeting," Kara rolled her eyes.
"Do you think he's the one that is really in charge?" Pence asked.
Kara froze and stared at Pence. "I need to get on the ship, rescue Mon-El, and destroy it in that order," Kara said to him.
"And if you should fail, you could doom the world," Pence said calmly.
"Here I thought you were a man of faith," Kara mocked.
"Where my faith lacks is in you," Pence smiled condescendingly. "The only reason that alien battleship is still allowed to exist is because I believe there can be peace between our worlds. There are far greater threats out there than the Insane. We need each other if we are to defeat the dark one."
"Oh, yeah, how do you intend to get through their shields?" Kara scoffed.
"I know all about your little stargate. You could send a nuke through it and destroy the ship from the inside," Pence said knowingly.
"So, you and Hank have this all figured out," Kara said impressed.
"We do," Pence smiled. "When you do things right, people wonder whether you did anything at all."
"I want Mon back. Then you can do whatever you want to it," Kara said impatiently.
"Let's make a deal. I don't know how your relationship was with President Obama...," Pence began.
"We were chill as fuck. He's a cool dude," Kara remarked.
"Ah, yes, but I'm not cool," Pence said.
"You have made that abundantly clear," Kara mocked.
"You will act as if you're opposing us, and you will lead the opposition against us, publicly. Privately, we will be allies and you will comply with our orders," Pence said boldly.
"Why the fuck would I do that?" Kara wondered.
"Because your reputation is shit. Your approval rating is lower than Congress," Pence said.
"Damn," Kara felt burned.
"You will undercut our opposition by co-opting it just like you did to Cadmus. People will rally behind the president to spite you. You will create division within the opposition with your colorful language and antics," Pence said.
"I'm not a villain," Kara said offended.
"You're the hero this world deserves but not what it needs," Pence told her.
"Fine, whatever. Do I have your permission to kick ass, your holiness?" Kara asked mockingly.
"One last thing: Tell your sister, she was right about me. She was right," Pence said softly.
"You are one creepy mother-fucker," Kara said as she flew out the window of the Oval Office.
Mike Pence looked at his reflection on the glass window and saw that his eyes suddenly glowed white with streaks of white energy cracking through his skin. Pence put on black sunglasses and turned away from the window.
At the DEO, Winn explained the stargate to Kara, Hank, and Alex. "I recently got this bad boy operational. It should get you onto that ship if my calculations are correct."
"And if they're not?" Kara asked skeptically.
"You will end up in the cold vacuum of space," Hank said.
"I should go then," Kara said.
"Negative, we can't risk our most valuable asset. Winn and I can handle this," Hank said. "Only go through if it is an absolute necessity."
"Don't we need another gateway on the other side?" Alex asked.
"No, this gate acts as a beacon. As long as we have the coordinates plugged in, we should be able to get back," Hank said.
"Or I kill everyone on that ship and pilot it myself," Kara smirked.
"This is strictly a rescue mission. We get Mon and then we get out," Hank ordered.
"I have just detected ion emissions. They're about to leave," Winn alerted them.
"What about the Kryptonite?" Alex asked.
"I have a plan for that," Hank said confidently.
Supergirl exited a purple portal and appeared on the bridge of the Insane battleship in front of Queen Rhea. "You just don't know when to let go."
"I could say the same about you," Kara smirked.
Queen Rhea motioned for her guards to take Kara down. After a brief fight, Kara was able to defeat them all. A red beam suddenly sliced through her chest. Kara gasped and fell to her knees. "You are not her. Even she is not this weak," Queen Rhea said unimpressed.
Kara transformed into J'onn and struggled to get back to his feet.
Meanwhile, Winn exited a portal near Mon's prison. "Thank God, I'm not in space," he said gratefully. He then saw a broken-looking Mon. "Oh, shit," he realized. Using his Ipad, he hacked into the cell opening the door. Winn then took hold of Mon who was about to collapse on him. Winn took the headband off, but Mon was too injured to do much of anything.
Winn then hacked into the security system giving the real Kara and Alex a video feed of the throne room. There, they saw Queen Rhea punching J'onn and placing her foot on his head.
Kara ran over to the portal and entered the Insane battleship bridge. She punched through an Insane guard's torso and in quick succession killed the other guards with punches to the head and torso. They all fell a few seconds after they were hit.
"Is it really you this time?" Queen Rhea asked amused.
King Mon then entered the bridge alarmed by the fighting. Taking a staff, King Mon fought J'onn. More Insane guards entered the room and watched as their king fought. Queen Rhea backed out of the fight unwilling to show she was superior to her husband.
J'onn quickly got the better of the fight and began to beat King Mon until he was soundly defeated. His Insane guards watched in stunned silence as King Mon struggled to get back to his feet. Winn brought Mon onto the bridge as King Mon fell.
"I have defeated your king. This fight is over," J'onn said.
Queen Rhea walked up to her husband. "He is too strong," he said disgraced.
"My husband and son are both so weak. What is a woman supposed to do?" she asked him.
"Rhea, please," King Mon said pathetically.
Queen Rhea punched through his chest and took out his heart. King Mon fell to the floor dead. His guards immediately attacked her. Beams of light went through them all dropping them. "Father!" Mon shouted powering up an energy disk. He threw it at Rhea aiming for her neck. The disc shattered on impact with Rhea unharmed.
Rhea fired at Mon throwing him against the wall. J'onn went for a strike but his arm was shredded as it impacted hers. "Holy shit," Winn realized her power.
Kara blasted Rhea with heat vision. Rhea blocked the beam with her hand effortlessly. Purple flames emitted from her incinerating all the bodies. Mon watched helplessly as his father's body burned away to nothing. "For so long I had to endure that fool. Fuck the traditions. I'm taking over now," Rhea said.
"Your reign will be the shortest in Insane history," Kara said giving Rhea a solid punch to the gut.
Kara stared at Rhea stunned that there wasn't a large hole in her gut. Still, the queen was hurt. She backed away a little stunned by the blow. Desperate to win, she aimed her hand at J'onn and the other at Winn. Kara stopped herself from delivering a killing blow.
"You won't do what is necessary to achieve victory," Rhea spat.
"Don't confuse trolling with weakness. Up to this point, no one has ever come close to being a physical challenge to me. And yet, I don't think you're anywhere close to your limit," Kara said as she scanned Rhea.
"Don't condescend to me, brat," Rhea glared at her.
Kara got in front of J'onn to shield him from any attack. Mon took hold of Winn and instantly disappeared from the bridge.
"No," Rhea closed her eyes in frustration.
"I will destroy this dark one just like any other opponent I've faced or not and we all die. Either way, it's not worth a life of pain and misery. Without joy, there is no point to life. With all your strength, I don't think you've ever had fun or felt true joy," Kara said to her.
"And I don't think you've ever felt true suffering. Not yet, you haven't," Rhea shot back.
A portal opened behind Kara. "Leave and do not come back," Kara ordered her and then helped J'onn through the portal.
Later that night, Maggie said goodbye to Emily as the two reconciled. "So, how did it go?" Alex asked.
"Good, thank you for making me do that. It gave me that closure I needed," Maggie said smiling.
"You guys talk about me in there?" Alex asked curiously.
"Yeah, she said I was lucky to have you," Maggie replied.
"She's right," Alex smirked.
The two kissed and then headed back home. Inside the apartment complex, Emily morphed into Hank and rolled his eyes. Alex frowned as she had second thoughts about manipulating Maggie.
Kara came back to her apartment expecting Mon to be there. Upon realizing his absence, she ate popcorn and watched a movie alone. Meanwhile, Mon walked in the desert wilderness feeling lost and defeated. Clenching his fists in anger, he thought about all the torture his mother had put him through and the way his father was murdered. It had been a cruel joke to bring back his parents only to lose them again. He was a prince to no one. Screaming in rage, the ground shook underneath his feet. His black hair went straight up, his eyes became white, and golden flames surrounded him. Kara looked out her window feeling Mon's power even from so far away. Mon then collapsed on the ground exhausted.
