Video of Vice President Pence shielding an agent from being shot to hell by Otis was leaked to the press. It showed Pence being shot, turning into an electrical being, and then becoming human again. The video quickly went viral.

The next day, liberal activists protested at the White House calling Pence a liar, traitor, etc. News media was all over the scene to report on the one-sided protest. They interviewed one particular liberal activist. "It's not that he's an alien that pisses us off. It's that he lied about it," she said.

"But how do you feel about his job performance?" the CNN reporter asked.

"He was a shitty congressman, a shitty governor, and shitty vice president," she shouted to the applause of the crowd.

"There you have it. A lot of pissed-off folks wanting answers here in DC," the reporter said to the camera.

Pence watched the protest from the oval office window with a stony expression. Mara flew in and was allowed inside the oval office.

"Mr. Vice President, Mara addressed.

"Supergirl, thank you for coming," Pence said warmly.

"I'm so sorry for you. There must be another way," Mara said to him.

"Oh, I'm not resigning," Pence clarified for her.

"I heard you were on CNN," Mara said awkwardly.

"You should stop watching them," Pence smiled amused.

"Look at all those protesters. They look really mad," Mara noted looking out the window.

"We get protests every other day," Pence said dismissively.

"But they all hate you," Mara pointed out.

"My side of the fence actually have jobs, so you never see them counter-protesting," Pence said.

"I see," Mara realized. "Isn't your vice-presidency in violation of the Constitution? You could be impeached and removed from office."

"Not likely, my party is in control of Congress and the Senate," Pence said unconcerned.

"What of the courts?" Mara asked.

"It is true that the vice-president must be an American-born citizen. I'm happy to inform you that I meet that qualification," Pence told her.

"How does that make any sense?" Mara asked confused.

"I am an alien born in the United States. Well, born is a matter of interpretation, I suppose. I came into being in America," Pence allowed.

"I still don't get it," Mara admitted.

"I am 100% human and 100% alien," Pence revealed.

"So, like a hybrid," Mara said relating to him.

"No, 100% human and 100% alien," Pence repeated himself. "And I intend to finish the rest of my term and probably run for reelection."

"This could cause chaos and confusion," Mara pointed out.

"For them," Pence pointed to the crowd. "Our base won't care."

"I don't understand. Your base has been all about fighting illegal immigration and promoting national security. Won't they be mad at you?" Mara asked.

"Like they were mad at Trump for being married three times, having numerous adulterous affairs, conducted shady business practices, dodging the draft, and reversing all his previous social positions?" Pence asked rhetorically.

"Yeah," Mara said confused.

"The base doesn't care about our character traits or our pasts. They only care about results, and we're delivering like mad. Trump is Emperor Constantine to our base. Emperor Constantine was a conqueror, he had his own mother executed, and only converted to Christianity on his death bed. He was...an asshole," Pence said to her.

"But...he legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire ending the persecution and making Christianity the primary faith of the empire. For that, he is known as a defender of the faith. Trump and I are that Constantine because of our policies. And no matter what we are or who we are is going to change that," Pence told her.

"This is going to split the country in two," Mara predicted.

"It has been split for decades," Pence smiled sadly.

The protesters then got rowdy and tore a hole in the fence. They then flooded in on the White House lawn. "Could you be a dear and take care of that?" Pence asked.

"Sure," Mara agreed and walked out onto the lawn. The protesters rushed forward overwhelming the police.

Mara extended her arms and waited for them to get closer. She then slapped her hands together creating a shock wave that sent the protesters to the grass stunned. Mara then unleashed hurricane-force winds against the protesters forcing them back. Many of them flew backward off the White House lawn back onto the streets. Mara continued to blow on them until they were all off the lawn.

A flagpole was hit by a moving car and then fell towards the ground. Mara sped over to it and took hold of it before it could reach the ground. Taking the pole, she placed it gently on the sidewalk. "We can either talk or we can fight. You know which one I prefer," Mara said to the protesters.

On CNN, Don Lemon addressed his audience. "The Vice President of the United States has been outed as an alien. This revelation has many upset and pondering the future of our country. How is it possible that an alien could be a heartbeat away from the presidency? To discuss this issue are my guests: Relaxed White Trash Redneck Conservative and Pissed-off Liberal Hippie Douche."

"What say you, Liberal Hippie Douche?" Don Lemon asked.

"It's a betrayal of the highest order, Don. He lied to the American people, violated the US Constitution, and should immediately resign."

"And what say you, White Trash Redneck Conservative?" Don asked.

"What politician hasn't fudged a little about his personal life? All I know is that Trump/Pence have deported, jailed, or killed a recorded number of aliens and defended America from two alien invasions, the first being the Insane fleet and the second being those evil Kryptonians trying to terraform our planet," he said.

"Trump/Pence is just taking credit for Supergirl, who by the way is not a public official," Liberal Hippie Douche argued.

"Makes us all wonder what Supergirl thinks of all this," Don said.

At the DEO, agent Jenson got into a political argument with some of his fellow agents. Alex came in and broke it up. "Knock it off. This is a workplace. You can discuss politics on your own time," she told them.

"Do you listen to yourself?" Jenson said scornfully.

Alex then took him to the ground and forced him to tap out. "What was that?" Alex asked outraged.

"Sorry," Jenson said pathetically.

"That's what I thought," Alex said letting him back up. "Until he resigns or is removed from office, Vice President Pence remains the vice president. Now get back to your stations."

Supergirl then strolled into the DEO. "Do we have any leads on Mercy?" she asked.

"Otis isn't talking yet," Alex said. "The country is going to be torn apart over this."

"The people that supposedly loved alien immigrants have turned against one of their own, and the people that supposedly hate immigrants are defending one," Mara considered.

"Hypocrisy abounds. It makes me ashamed of my own side," Alex said distressed.

"I think this goes beyond sides," Mara said.

"And you would be right. We have been tracking Internet traffic on hate towards aliens. This was before Pence was outed," Alex said showing red hot-spots on the US map. "This was after he was outed," Alex said showing dozens more appearing.

Moscow, PATRIOT

Kara watched as Russian analysts worked furiously on their computers creating fake social media accounts and sending out inflammatory messages. Like a factory, thousands of anti-alien messages were being sent out distorting or lying about Pence. Misinformation articles were appearing everywhere.

"Not realistic enough," Alina said as she read over a fake article. "Too truthful," Alina rejected another.

"Do you ever question whether we might be the bad guys?" Kara grinned.

"No. This is a means to an end. If we can make the American people distrust their government and fight among each other, it gives us an advantage. Unlike America, we are all united under a common purpose," Alina said.

"It does help when one party has control over all branches of government and the media," Kara smiled.

"Our president was elected with 64% of the vote in a landslide. The American president lost the popular vote and only received 46% of the vote. How is that for democracy?" Alina replied.

"Preaching to the choir," Kara agreed.

Nikolai arrived and looked over the busy analysts. "Can the Americans track us?" he asked.

"No, our IP addresses are masked and our people in Facebook will keep us from being detected," Alina said.

"Good. This is a great opportunity for Mother Russia but this isn't enough. I want some of our agents in America to stir up trouble," Nikolai ordered.

"Can I do it?" Kara volunteered.

"No," Nikolai shut her down. "Make it happen," he ordered Alina and walked off.

"Let me help you out with this," Kara said creating a program on the computer. The AI she created started spitting out misinformation at a much faster rate.

"When did you learn to do this?" Alina asked.

"I don't know. It's just coming to me," Kara said as her fingers rapidly typed over the keyboard.

Metropolis

At Catco, Nia approached James. "I was wondering if you would consider my article on the vice-president being outed as an alien," she said awkwardly.

"Right now, we just need facts," James shut her down.

Nia then noticed Mara staring at her. "You shouldn't go over my head," Mara said to her.

"There's an open-door policy," Nia pointed out.

"There's also a revolving door policy," Mara threatened.

"Sorry," Nia apologized.

Mara ignored Nia and answered her cell phone. "Otis referred to 'those two' so there's another one Mercy is working with," Alex told her.

"I suppose I can ask Lena," Mara said and then left the office.

Mara entered Lena's office and found her at her desk. "So...how can I help you?" Lena gave her an icy stare.

"I need all files related to Mercy Graves," Mara ordered.

"Sure. Her work at Lex Corp. is well-documented," Lena allowed. "So, you think you can come in here and make demands."

"It's what James wants," Mara deflected.

"How about I give the files to James then," Lena smiled.

"I have a friend that can get the files I want, but it could crash your entire mainframe. So, do you want to make this easy or hard?" Mara asked.

"I'll get you the files," Lena glared at Mara.

Hank entered the DEO wearing a visitor's badge. "Please come back," an agent whispered to him shaking his hand.

"Hank," Alex addressed.

"Such a chaotic time. I figured I should swing by and see how you're doing," Hank said eyeing the busy agents.

"I'm managing," Alex sighed.

"You know, a friend of mine might be in trouble. Fiona Burns, she works at the bar we always go to," Hank said.

"Greetings, J'onn," Brainiac 5 said as he entered the room. "I checked all the cameras in the city. There is no sign of Mercy as of yet," he said to Alex.

"You know what? I'm going to go," Hank said uncomfortable talking around Brainiac 5.

"Okay," Alex said appreciating the visit.

"Take care," Hank said walking out.

"I do miss him. Not that I don't enjoy your leadership," Brainiac 5 mocked.

"Fuck you, Barney," Alex said scornfully.

"I can sense you're upset about the current state of the nation. I would like to assure you that this incident had no repercussions in the future," Brainiac 5 said.

"The future can change," Alex said to him.

"Oh really?" Brainiac 5 doubted. "I know how to help you: pizza. I believe pizza, at this moment, is the right thing for everyone."

"No," Alex rejected.

"Director Danvers, I wasn't asking," Brainiac 5 said super-serious.

Brainiac 5 ventured into a nearby pizza restaurant. "My friend, what will it be today?" the pizza guy asked.

"I'll have a dozen large pizzas, eleven with everything, and one with apples and olives," Brainiac 5 ordered.

Nia then entered the restaurant looking troubled. "After you," Brainiac 5 said to her.

"Do you make espressos?" she asked awkwardly.

"We do," the pizza guy replied.

"I find it interesting that you would go to a pizza place to get an espresso," Brainiac 5 remarked.

"It's just that you guys are really close by to Catco," Nia said.

"I recommend caffeine pills. It will give you the same amount of caffeine milligrams without needing to get coffee all the time. You will find that it will increase your productivity," Brainiac 5 advised.

"I really don't want to have to take a pill," Nia said to him.

"Don't be silly. You take pills every day," Brainiac 5 said knowingly.

Nia froze and gave him a haunted look. Brainiac 5 advanced on her with a creepy expression and then lowered his hologram freaking her out. "Sorry to disturb you," she said rushing out of the restaurant.

"Really?" the pizza guy asked Brainiac 5.

"I'll purchase two Espressos as a way to compensate for my recent behavior," Brainiac 5 said as he turned his hologram back on.

"This is for the DEO, right?" the pizza guy asked.

"That's right," Brainiac 5 said casually.

"Do other aliens look upon you as a traitor?" the pizza guy asked him.

"If they knew who I was, maybe they would. However, in my view, we're all a minority of one. I have no attachments to them, to humans, or to anyone," Brainiac 5 said.

"I know where you're coming from. I'll never support the Sicilian mobsters down the street," the pizza guy said.

"Then you won't mind if I take care of one of your employees," Brainiac 5 said entering the kitchen.

"What are you doing back here?" a mobster hit-man said to him.

"Taking out the trash," Brainiac 5 said advancing on him.

The mobster hit-man took a baseball bat and swat him with it. It broke apart as it hit him. "Fuck me," the mobster said stunned.

"If you insist," Brainiac 5 smiled as cables shot out from his hand.

Mara waited patiently for Lena to download all the files. Her computer was then suddenly hacked. "Someone has put a Trojan horse into the system. It's trying to delete our files," Lena said freaked.

Mara quickly called Brainiac 5. "Barney, I need you to stop a hack," she requested.

"Of course, my dear. I would be happy to," Brainiac 5 said and then used the restaurant's WiFi to connect to the Internet.

Brainiac 5 quickly found the hack and secured L Corp. systems. "They're locked out," Lena said pleased.

"Too easy," Brainiac 5 smirked and then dumped the hit-man in a dumpster. He then turned to the pizza guy. "What do I owe you?"

Brainiac 5 looked at his computer as he noticed the Russian interference. Alex came over to him. "Are you going to invite the staff in on these pizzas or are we just going to knock it out ourselves?"

"I do not need to eat, and I fear you won't pass your next physical test if you eat them all," Brainiac 5 said to her.

"Wow," Alex said feeling burned.

"You don't need my permission to distribute them," Brainiac 5 told her.

"Thanks for that," Alex said sarcastically. "Mara said that you solved a hack directed at L Corp."

"That's correct," Brainiac 5 said.

"That was very nice of you. So, I'm curious...why the fuck haven't you fix that?" Alex pointed out the enormous Russian hack.

"The hack is more sophisticated than what I have encountered from humans. It's almost playful," Brainiac 5 said amused.

"Too much for you to handle?" Alex asked.

"Of course not," Brainiac 5 said and then ended the hack immediately. The Russian hack then returned more sophisticated than before.

"She's learning," Brainiac 5 said intrigued as he shut her down.

"Who's she?" Alex asked.

"Just a figure of speech. I have no idea who is behind these hacks," Brainiac 5 admitted.

Mercy and her heavily armed troops then entered L Corp. They used a high-frequency sound emitter playing Taylor Swift on blast. L Corp. employees fell to the floor devastated. "It's a sonic attack. Put these in," Lena said giving herself and Mara earplugs.

"Okay, well, I've assessed the situation and I'm leaving," Mara said about to exit.

"Wait, the building is on lock-down. There's no entering or exiting," Lena told her.

"How are the cops supposed to get in and rescue us?" Mara asked her.

"Well...," Lena said stumped. "More importantly, we have to stop Mercy from getting to the mainframe. She's going to try to access them manually now."

"Thanks for the tip," Mercy said on Lena's TV and then disappeared.

"Well...shit," Lena realized.

Mara called up the DEO. "James, I'm going to be late. I'm in lock-down with armed men inside the building. I'm with Lena and Eve."

"Understood," Brainiac 5 replied and then got up.

"What's your plan?" Alex asked him.

"Trust me," Brainiac 5 smirked and flew out.

The ceiling windows of L Corp shattered as Supergirl broke through them and made a superhero landing on the ground floor with her red cape flowing around her. Mercy and her men shot at her with everything they had. The bullets merely deflected off her.

"Shit," Mercy realized and retreated to the L Corp basement.

Supergirl flew up and confronted Mercy's men. They fired on her with automatic fire without result. Supergirl beat them all senseless but allowed them to live. She then went to the elevator and descended to the ground floor.

Mercy looked around Lena's lab for a super-weapon she could use to fight off Supergirl. She finally found a wrist laser shooter. Putting it on, she waited for Supergirl to exit the elevator. When she finally did, Mercy shot at her. Supergirl dodged her fire and then slammed into her, pinning her arm behind her back.

"Supergirl doesn't kill, isn't that right?" Mercy said to her.

Supergirl considered that. "That's right," Supergirl said and then disarmed her. Once the L Corp building ended lock-down, the DEO took Mercy away.

"Thank you, Supergirl," Lena said appreciatively to her.

"No problem," Supergirl said to her.

Lena, Mara, and Eve watched as Supergirl went into the air through the ceiling and disappeared. "Supergirl protecting a Luthor? You don't see that every day," Lena joked.

"Yes," Mara agreed. "You don't."

Supergirl entered the DEO and then turned off her hologram revealing herself to be Brainiac 5. He then turned his human hologram back on. Mercy was placed in a DEO cell for future interrogation. "That was pretty slick," Alex complimented Brainiac 5.

Mara, dressed as Supergirl, and Alex then decided to give the Graves a visit. "I hear the Grave twins are a collectible. It's best if you never open the box," Alex mocked.

"The people are angry," Mercy said to them.

"Changing hearts and minds isn't really my thing," Alex admitted.

"Nor mine," Mara seconded.

Alex gave Mara a glance. "Really?"

Mara stared at Mercy. "Even if you persuaded the whole country against me, it won't matter. There is no one on this planet that can come close to me. You will never win."

"Well, even if we cannot win, a lot of your alien friends will be killed in the cross-fire," Mercy pointed out.

"I don't care," Mara said dismissively and walked off.

At Catco, a controversy arose. "Why the fuck are there wood chips in my coffee cup?" Franklin asked outraged.

"It's just a joke," Takanawa smiled.

"I'm offended. You all hear that? I'm super-offended!" Franklin said loudly.

"But that's what you eat," Takanawa pointed out.

"I told you that in confidence," Franklin said bitterly.

"Hey, it's not a big deal, man. Stan eats shit," another co-worker said to him.

"That's not the point," Franklin argued.

James exited his office. "What's going on here?" he demanded.

"I put wood chips in Franklin's coffee cup," Takanawa admitted.

"Nice," James smiled. "I mean...don't do that again," he ordered. "Look, guys, I know the vice president revealed to be an alien is quite a shock, but it doesn't change who we are as a country or as a publication. No one is allowed to hate except me," James told everyone.

James then took Franklin's coffee cup and dumped the wood chips onto the desk. He then put the wood chips one-by-one back into the coffee cup in front of Franklin. "You still offended?" James asked him.

"No," Franklin said intimidated.

"Good," James said and went back to his office.

President Trump held a huge rally in Houston, Texas. "I have total trust and confidence in Vice President Pence," Trump said to the roaring crowd.

"Thank you, Mr. President," Pence smiled appreciatively. "Wow, what a week. One day you're being shot at and the next you find out you're an alien."

The crowd laughed along with him. "In all seriousness, I didn't tell you the truth about my alien side. For that I am sorry," Pence said. His body began to glow as electricity danced around his body. His eyes became white. He then went back to normal.

"I am 100% human and 100% alien," Pence said to the crowd. "Just like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was 100% human and 100% divine. I have not violated the US Constitution. I came into being in Columbus, Indiana. I am an American-born citizen. Unlike the other side, I know what it means to be an American," Pence said.

"This administration has defended the Earth from the Insane invasion and the evil Kryptonians that tried to reshape our world. We have deported, jailed, and killed more hostile aliens than any previous administration. We have made every effort to secure our borders. We will soon dismantle the Alien Amnesty Act. Only American citizens shall be allowed to vote in our Republic," Pence said to the applause of the crowd.

"However, legal alien residents are to be treated fairly and equitable. Anyone that would threaten our alien residents shall face the full force of law. You can trust me to represent American interests for the American people. My record speaks for itself," Pence told the crowd.

The crowd then went wild as Supergirl walked towards the stage. She came onto the stage and shook the hands of Trump and Pence. The DEO, Catco, the alien gay bar, PATRIOT, and the global audience focused on what Supergirl was about to say.

"Vice President Michael Richard Pence shielded his own Secret Service agent from certain death. He's alive today because the vice-president believed his life was more valuable than the risk of being exposed. Today, misinformation, lies, and deception have circulated in the news media and on your computer screens. There are forces at work that would divide us. Know that you can trust me to give you the truth, justice, and the American way," Mara said to the crowd.

"Vice President Pence is an American, a hero, and a great human being," Mara concluded.

The crowd cheered as Mara got in between Trump and Pence and allowed herself to be photographed. She then flew out of the stadium wowing the crowd with a sonic boom.

Moscow

At PATRIOT, Alina and Kara watched Supergirl's speech with amusement. "She's got spunk," Kara smiled.

"Start circulating articles that Supergirl and the final Reign are the same person. Let's see how the American people feel about a Supergirl that nearly destroyed the world," Alina counter-punched. A large screen showed an exact facial match between Mara and the final Reign despite the hair-color change.

"Hold that thought," Kara stopped her.

"What is it?" Alina asked suspiciously.

"She's just a girl. Her mother can no longer help her," Kara said to Alina.

"What are you suggesting?" Alina asked.

"If she could be turned, she could be a great asset," Kara said to her. "But if you destroy her reputation, she will never join us."

"Can it be done?" Alina questioned her.

"I will give her what she values most. I will give her mother back," Kara said.

Metropolis

At the DEO, Alex noticed something odd about the security footage of Mercy and Otis. "That wasn't a trip. That was a glitch," Alex said stunned.

"I concur," Brainiac 5 agreed.

There was a long awkward pause. "Shit!" Alex said as she rushed towards the cell. Once she got there, she found Otis and Mercy both gone.

The DEO screen was then hacked into showing the PATRIOT logo. "Shall we play a game?" text was displayed on the screen.

"I always enjoyed our games," Brainiac 5 said and then terminated the hack bringing the screen back to normal.

Hank entered a rally in the suburbs of Metropolis. On the stage was a man in a golden mask with armor on. "The vice president is an alien, and he refuses to resign. Worse yet, he's allied with Supergirl, another alien. Our Constitution is at stake. I have evidence that President Trump and Supergirl are controlled by the Russians. Do we let the Russians control our country? No!" Liberty said to the crowd.

Two Russians agents turned to each other and smirked. "We must Resist! Resist! Resist!" Liberty chanted.

The crowd followed with a chant of "Resist!"

"Alright, I've assessed the situation...and I'm leaving," Hank said spooked.

Meanwhile, Mara flew around Metropolis and found herself weakening as Kryptonite entered her system. In an abandoned warehouse, Otis, Mercy, and Jenson activated a dispersion device that sent Kryptonite particles into the atmosphere. Mara went off course towards the Arctic Circle.

PATRIOT monitored Supergirl's movements as she crossed into Canada. "Prepare units for extraction. Once she crosses into Russian airspace, she's ours," Alina ordered.

Kara tapped her fingers as Mara crossed into Greenland. "Get fighters in the air," Alina ordered. MiG fighters got ready to intercept as Mara got closer to Russia.

"Don't you think you're overreacting a little," Kara said to Alina.

"No," Alina rebuked.

"Fighters are in the air and missiles are standing by," an analyst said to Alina.

"What is the projected arrival time?" Alina asked.

"At her current speed, five minutes," an analyst told her.

PATRIOT watched intently as Mara kept moving across Greenland. The DEO was also monitoring the situation. "There's Kryptonite seeded in the atmosphere. Supergirl is basically on auto-pilot," Alex realized.

"The Russians have mobilized their air defenses," Brainiac 5 reported.

"Oh God," Alex said wondering what to do. She then called Hank. "Supergirl is in trouble...and I need your help."

Hank considered how Mara had torn him a new one the last time they had spoken. "I got you," Hank said finally and then flew up into the air.

PATRIOT detected the second fast-moving bogie. "It's on an intercept course," an analyst told Alina.

"The plot thickens," Kara said amused.

Alina clenched her fists anxiously as she waited to see whether Mara would cross into Russian airspace. It was a race to see who would get to her first.

Author's Notes: There's a lot to speculate on SG being canceled. The ratings sucked, Mellissa's newborn, COVID, and so forth. It is embarrassing for Stargirl to beat both Batwoman and Supergirl out in the ratings. I was surprised as I had thought Mellissa's contract was up after the seventh season. I had a great deal of love for the show as well and I am sad to see it end and this fic end. The reason for the reuploads is that I wanted to do some edits and get new readers that may have been intimidated by its length, and just keep it on the front page. I had figured you were gone and weren't coming back, so I am happy you're back. If you care to give me some commentary, I'll upload Season 4, 4.5, and 5 immediately. The last time I heard from you was right before the Crisis uploads. Hope all is well in your world.

Adventures SG will be doing Season 5.5 using Superman and Lois scripts, then SG Season 6, and then I'll either continue onto Superman and Lois Season 2 or finish the fic off with my own SG Season 7, and then it will be finished for good. Adventures Superman and Lois will have the title characters replaced with Mon and Kara. Adventures Batwoman will end at Season 2 regardless of anything and end with The Batman movie coming out in 2021. That's the plan anyway.
