(Rated I for Immature)

Mara waited at the Metropolis cemetery in front of her parents' tomb. She was wearing a black business suit and wearing sunglasses. Kara arrived in a white coat wearing her glasses. "Why did you want to meet here?" Mara asked.

"The...bodies are still here. It would be troublesome for me if someone were to break in and take your mother's body away," Kara said.

"There's security here," Mara pointed out.

"The fact that even such a body exists in the first place raises questions," Kara said obviously.

"Then what's stopping you from just disappearing it?" Mara asked.

"Well, that would be rude, wouldn't it?" Kara said to her. "I want to take it to the Fortress of Solitude where it can never be messed with. I think that would be the most appropriate place."

Mara nodded sadly. "Take them both there. They...shouldn't be separated."

Kara nodded. "You're okay, right?"

"Neither of us fought at our full potential. I heal quickly," Mara said referring to their battle.

"Good...good," Kara said awkwardly. "I'm not here to conquer the world or even to create a new world order. Even if I tried, Brainiac 5 would nuke the whole planet. I'm just here to tweak it a little. Make things a little fairer."

"So long as you have Lex, I can't really trust you," Mara said honestly.

"Lex is a temporary thing. He'll either die or disappear within a short time. But the two of us can be a family together. Once your brother comes back, It will be almost the same as before," Kara said.

"Almost," Mara said thoughtfully. "Well, I'll wait until that day. Until then, we can at least be civil to one another."

"Sure," Kara agreed and the two shook hands.


Mask of the Phantasm


Gotham

At the Shady Lady casino, gangsters counted up counterfeit money. "This has been a long day coming. We've been waiting three years to get the right equipment, but you will see it was worth the wait," Chuckie Sol said to his business partners.

"I can't tell the difference," a gangster said as he looked over a one-hundred-dollar bill.

"You'll need one of those neutron microscopes," Chuckie said confidently. "It's identical to the real thing. We can flow this money through the casino easily enough, but it has to be in gradual amounts or else we could get caught."

"You're already caught," a female voice said as the windows blew out. Batwoman appeared before them in a sleek armored costume, a cape, and a mask.

"Who the fuck is she?" a gangster asked.

"She's Batwoman and she's a Lesbian," Chuckie told the group.

"Nice," all the gangsters smiled at once.

"Which means I have no problem kicking all of your asses," Batwoman said annoyed.

"Yeah, well, we have guns," the gangsters said taking them out.

"I do, too," Batwoman smirked.

A fire-fight went off as the two sides blasted each other. Batarangs disarmed two of the gangsters. Batwoman flipped over a table to shield herself from a barrage of bullets. Batwoman then fired her pistol on another gangster in the hand disarming him. The gangsters then resorted to fighting her hand-to-hand. Batwoman easily punched and kicked them all down. However, Chuckie fled the room and entered the casino parking lot.

"Chuckie Sol," a haunting voice said from the darkness. A fog suddenly appeared in the parking lot.

"Batwoman? How did you get here?" Chuckie wondered.

Chuckie fired non-stop until he ran out of bullets. The masked individual was unaffected by the barrage and continued his approach. "Your angel of death awaits," he said.

"Oh, fuck you, man," Chuckie said and tried to pistol-whip him.

The Phantom sliced his hand off with his bladed arm. "Holy fuck," Chuckie realized in shock. "What do you want?"

"I want you, Chuckie boy," the Phantom replied.

Chuckie fled the scene holding his stump of an arm. He finally reached his car and tried to run the Phantom over. The Phantom leaped up onto the hood of his car and sliced through the window. "Jesus!" Chuckie cried out in terror. Chuckie swerved his car around the parking lot until he managed to fling the Phantom off.

The Phantom slowly got back up. Like an idiot, Chuckie went for another pass to finish him off. Just before he could run him over, the Phantom turned to smoke. Chuckie drove through the smoke, off the parking lot ledge, into the air, and slammed into a building several floors down killing himself.

Batwoman heard the crash and looked over the parking lot ledge. "Well...shit," she said disappointedly. She then noticed a trail of smoke behind an exit door. "Look, it's Batwoman," a crowd said looking up at her.

"Damn it," Batwoman hissed and got herself out of view.

Shortly thereafter, the DEO flooded the scene and began collecting evidence. "Since when is this your jurisdiction?" Gotham Detective Bullock asked Alex.

"We don't know if the masked killer was an alien or not so until we find out, we get jurisdiction," Alex said to him.

"Yeah, bullshit. Batwoman did it," Det. Bullock said confidently.

"We don't know that," Alex glared at him.

"I have found something interesting," Brainiac 5 said picking up a piece of glass with smoke residue on it.

"What is it?" Alex asked.

"I'll need to check it with the lab," Brainiac 5 said putting the glass shard into a bag.

"Do you think Batwoman did it?" Alex asked.

Brainiac 5 eyed Alex. "Batwoman is more than capable of killing gangsters, but I don't think she was the one."


Gotham City Councilman Arthur Reeves took to the podium to talk shit about Batwoman. At his side was Kara, dressed as Supergirl. "This is vigilantism at its deadliest. How many times are we going to let Batman, Batboy, Batgirl, Batwoman, and fucking Batdog cross the line? Batwoman is a loose cannon like all women are. It's not just my opinion. A lot of men feel the same way including many male police officers that think that Batwoman is as twisted as the crooks she brings in."

"Alright, dial it back a little before I go crazy, too," Kara told him.

"What kind of city are we running when we depend on the support of a mad-woman? I mean, for fuck's sake," Reeves continued.

"Look, I'm here without a mask, alright. It's time all these would-be heroes take off their masks and show their faces. That is why I support President Trump's initiative to compel all so-called super-heroes to take their masks off and register their identities. I don't need a mask, my cousin didn't need a mask, so there," Kara said.

"Yeah, but aren't you like indestructible?" a reporter asked her.

"Well, finally some respect," Kara evaded the question.

"Whatever happened to the Batman?" a reporter asked Kara. "You were the last to see him."

"Batman ran off like a bitch and I was gracious enough to allow him to retire his ass while he still had some dignity left," Kara said.


The DEO watched the press conference on their television screen. "What rubbish. Batwoman is the pinnacle of sanity," Alex defended her.

"Are you sure you're qualified to make that judgment?" Brainiac 5 asked.

"Fuck you, Barney. Did you get a result on that glass shard?" Alex asked impatiently.

"It's a residue commonly found in smoke grenades. Nothing alien or particularly unusual," Brainiac 5 said.

"Well...shit. Still, it could be an alien under that mask," Alex grasped at straws.

"Anything is possible," Brainiac 5 allowed.

"The Gotham PD are a bunch of morons. We're keeping jurisdiction," Alex ordered.


At Gotham Hall, President Trump and some rich folks had a fundraising party. Kara was present in a white dress that had her crest on it so no one could mistake her. The DEO was acting as security with Alex observing from afar in uniform. Brainiac 5 brought Nia to the party while wearing a tuxedo and black dress.

"Why aren't you at the DEO?" Alex hissed at Brainiac 5.

"Col. Haley gave me the day off," Brainiac 5 said simply.

"You don't take days off," Alex scoffed.

"Unlike you, I have a social life," Brainiac 5 burned her.

Mara and Bro were also present. Noticeably absent was Bruce Wayne but Dick Grayson was present completely free to be a total ass. Also in attendance was Katherine Kane with her father, retired Army Colonel Jacob Kane. He went over to Col. Haley to discuss military matters.

"Enjoying the party?" VP Pence asked as he danced with Kara.

"I thought you never danced with any woman other than your wife?" Kara chided.

"You're not really a woman," Pence smiled.

"That's fair," Kara smirked liking his boldness. "How is our initiative going?"

"The one about masked superheroes? It's going through the house committees. You should ask Nancy about it," Pence advised.

"Make sure it's done," Kara said forcefully.

"You can force the president's hand but not mine," Pence told her.

"What makes you think you're so awesome? Is it your faith in God?" Kara mocked.

"Well, yes, and the fact that I am beyond your imagination or comprehension," Pence smiled as his eyes glowed for a second.

"If you're so powerful, then why haven't you stopped me, yet?" Kara asked.

"Because I know the future," Pence replied.

Kara felt a chill go through her. "I could kill everyone here and cut this country's head off."

"You won't," Pence said condescendingly.

"It's a pity you're already married. You both frighten and arouse me," Kara said honestly.

"I do have that effect," Pence agreed and the two bowed to each other as they went their separate ways.

A drunken Dick walked over to Alex. "This is one Dick you cannot refuse," he said to her.

"Excuse you?" Alex wondered.

"I know all about you and Maggie Sawyer. Sorry to hear about that. You two were a great couple," Dick said to her.

"Thank you for your kind words...now fuck off," Alex said irritably.

"I have a good friend of mine who is also a Lesbian. I could introduce you two," Dick offered. "It's Katherine Kane, the daughter of Colonel Jacob Kane," Dick said.

"I know who she is," Alex said to him. "I'm here to work, not to socialize," Alex told him off.

"Alright, alright," Dick said walking off.

As soon as he was gone, Alex's composure dropped. "I'll be back in a second," Alex said marching off to the restroom. Inside, she splashed water on her face as she still felt grief for Maggie. She put her hand on her face, the side that had been severely burned but repaired. Even so, she still felt as if the scars were still there.


Flashback: Aftermath

Alex went to the tomb of Kara and Mon and sat down inside the tomb closest to Kara's body. "You'll be happy I got another kill," Alex said to her.

Maggie came in and saw Alex talking to Kara. "Who are you talking to?" Maggie asked.

"Kara. I know it's silly, but it's therapeutic in a way. Sometimes, I imagine what she would say back," Alex said.

"Witty insults and sarcasm?" Maggie guessed.

"There is a lot of that," Alex smiled.

"I've lost men, cops, I really cared about. You can't beat yourself up over this," Maggie advised.

"You know, the pain is gone now. I feel really free now," Alex said alluding to her suicide.

"Great," Maggie said obliviously. "If you'll excuse me, I have some friends to visit," Maggie said leaving.


That night, gangsters loaded up stolen goods onto a truck from a warehouse. The security guard had been tied up. Batwoman leaped up on the roof of the truck, flipped, fired two pistols, and landed gracefully on the floor. The gangsters fell to the ground with bullet wounds to their legs. Before they could recover, Batwoman threw out ninja stars into their hands with expert aim.

The driver immediately took off. Batwoman fired a projectile rope gun and launched herself onto the truck. Batwoman climbed herself onto the roof of the truck, walked across the trailer, and then blasted out the window of the truck with a Batarang. The driver swerved all over the road to get her off. Batwoman fell off the hood of the truck but held onto the engine block. Using spike balls, she took out the truck's tires. The truck then went on its side and slid across the road.

Batwoman then used a projectile rope gun to escape to a rooftop as Gotham PD arrived on the scene.


The next morning, Brainiac 5 approached Alex as she was doing her martial arts training at the DEO. "What do you want, Barney?" Alex asked.

"Batwoman strikes again," Brainiac 5 brought up from his smart-phone.

"Why do I give a shit?" Alex asked still practicing.

"Well, do you give a shit that Detective Maggie Sawyer is here?" Brainiac 5 asked.

Alex quickly turned around and saw Maggie awkwardly standing there. "Hi, Maggie," Alex said politely.

"I was just wondering if you knew who the Batwoman was," Maggie said.

"If I knew, I would tell you. Besides, it's a Gotham problem," Alex said dismissively.

"What happens in Gotham has a tendency to flow over into Metropolis," Maggie pointed out.

"I'll look into it," Alex said sincerely.

"Want to spar, for old time's sake?" Maggie asked.

"Alright," Alex agreed.

The two got into fighting stances. Maggie took hold of Alex and threw her to the floor. Alex quickly kicked her legs sending Maggie to the floor as well. The two laughed in spite of themselves. "The both of you need more training," Brainiac 5 remarked.

Alex and Maggie then kissed passionately on the floor. Brainiac 5 eyed the two of them and turned away. "I'll give you two some privacy," he said leaving.

End Flashback


Alex exited the restroom and saw Kara conversing with people. Brainiac 5 approached Alex. "There's been an incident at the Gotham cemetery. Buzz Bronski is dead, crushed to death by a tombstone in an open grave."

"Is the killing connected?" Alex asked.

"Very likely, Bronski was once a close associate of Sol," Brainiac 5 said.

"What you guys talking about?" Kara asked barging in.

"A murder case," Alex said vaguely.

"How interesting. Does it involve the Batwoman?" Kara asked curiously.

"We don't know, yet," Brainiac 5 said.

"As much as I love gangsters being killed left-and-right...and I do, this kind of thing needs to stop," Kara said.

"I agree," Brainiac 5 said politely.

"We're doing all we can to find the killer whoever it may be," Alex said.

"Why don't you DEO guys take the night off? I can secure the whole area myself," Kara said.

"We're here, so you can enjoy yourself, Supergirl," Alex said.

"Call me Kara," Kara corrected.

Alex gave her a haunted look. "Sure, Kara."

"Something wrong, Director Danvers?" Kara smirked.

"It's just my adopted sister was named Kara. She died several months ago from Reign," Alex said somberly. "She even kind of looked like you."

"Really? It's not that common a name but what a coincidence," Kara said.

"Yeah," Alex said softly.

"I'll check on the cemetery," Brainiac 5 offered.

"Thanks, Barney. Keep me informed," Alex said gratefully.


Brainiac 5 and Nia walked around the cemetery. "This is really creepy. Why couldn't we do this during the daytime?" Nia complained.

"The evidence could be gone by then," Brainiac 5 said simply. Brainiac 5 then collected grass samples as he identified the same residue from the glass.

"Someone's here," Nia said to him.

Brainiac 5 looked up and saw a dark figure running across the grass. Brainiac 5 zoomed in and realized the dark figure was Batwoman. "Curious," Brainiac 5 said as she disappeared.

"So, she is the killer," Nia realized.

"Let us not jump to conclusions," Brainiac 5 said and then looked over the murder scene.

"Yuck," Nia said immaturely as she saw Buzz's crushed remains. Brainiac 5 noticed a pickax sliced in half. He then noticed the wet dirt and sliding marks.

"There was a fight here. The killer pushed the tombstone into the grave crushing him," Brainiac 5 concluded.

"Brutal," Nia remarked.

"If the killer was simply contracted to kill him, he could have simply used a gun or a blade. No, this was a crime of passion," Brainiac 5 said.


Flashback: Mind Wipe

It was night when Alex went to her medicine cabinet and took out a sleeping pill. She had needed to take them every night to keep the nightmares away. This night was different from those nights. Her back was up against the wall as Col. Haley's truth-telling tentacle monster would reveal the secret that Kara Danvers was her sister. She didn't quite understand how that was important but it meant her world was over.

"Game over," Alex said as she looked at a framed picture of herself and Kara.

Impulsively she swallowed the entire bottle of pills. Alex knew she had only a few moments before she fell asleep for good. She dialed her mom. "Hey, mom. How's it going?" Alex asked chipperly. "Oh, nothing much. Work's been a little stressful is all."

After her conversation with her mother, Alex text a message to Maggie. "I'm sorry," she texted and then went to bed.

End Flashback


The next morning at the DEO, Brainiac 5 looked up all the names connected to Sol and Bronski. He found a cross-connection with a Valestra, Salvatore. "Who is this guy?" Alex asked Brainiac 5.

"All three of them used to be partners in a number of dummy corporations used for money laundering, tax evasion, and organized crime in Gotham years ago.

"Looks like Valestra is going to have some company," Alex predicted.

Brainiac 5 eyed Alex. "If you say so."


Flashback: The Black Knight

Alex awoke in a warehouse. "I have the worse headache," she groaned and then realized she was surrounded by oil drums. "Holy shit," she realized.

"Hello! Anyone out there?" Maggie shouted through a radio nearby.

"Yes, Maggie, can you hear me?" Alex shouted back.

"Yeah, I can hear you. I'm all tied up with oil drums all around me," Maggie said.

"Same here," Alex replied.

"I guess we're both in deep shit," Maggie realized.

"Can you tell where you are?" Alex asked.

"No idea," Maggie said looking around.

"I'm going to try to get out of this chair," Alex said working the restraints and moving her chair. She then tripped over herself and an oil drum as fell to the floor. "Fuck," Alex said as she hit the floor. The oil drum started leaking oil on the floor covering the left side of Alex's face.

"You okay?" Maggie asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Alex said annoyed at her position.

"Don't worry, the DEO has a tracker in you," Maggie assured her.

"Yeah but what about you?" Alex wondered.

"Forget about me, Alex. Just work on yourself," Maggie told her.

"Yeah, fuck that. You work on those restraints," Alex told her.

"You know, I was sincere about what I said before. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, have children with you, and all that jazz," Maggie said.

"I know, Maggie. I do, too," Alex said to her.

"This police work is a little too dangerous," Maggie joked. "I'm going to quit. I promise you."

"I'll quit the DEO, too. Let's start fresh," Alex seconded.

"Alright, Alex, to new beginnings," Maggie said.

J'onn phased through the warehouse, tore Alex out of her chair, and flew her out of the warehouse. The warehouse then exploded in a huge fireball. The oil on Alex's face and clothes suddenly lit on fire.

Mara, as Supergirl, reached the warehouse and was blasted to the ground. The warehouse was completely blasted apart in a huge fireball. Mara went through the fire and looked around for any signs of life. Scanning the whole area, Mara found a burned shoe. "Oh, Maggie," Mara realized.

End Flashback


That night, Valestro came alone in an abandoned amusement park. Kara, dressed in civilians, approached him. "If it's not Valestro Salvatore," Kara smirked.

"I was told you could help me out," Valestro said fearfully.

"Oh, who told you that? Was it Councilman Reeves?" Kara asked annoyed.

Valestro simply nodded. Kara came up to Valestro. "You're a piece of shit, Valestro. You kill for money, but we appear to have a common enemy."

"The Batwoman," Valestro said.

"Yeah, whatever," Kara rolled her eyes.

"I have a business proposition for you," Valestro said to her.

"Oh really? Do I look like I need money?" Kara scoffed and then shoved Valestro into a roller coaster car. It went up the track but creaked dangerously the entire time.

"Is this safe?" Valestro said concerned.

"Probably not. It hasn't been used in years," Kara said.

Kara enjoyed the old roller coaster ride as Valestro looked like he was on the verge of a heart attack. They finally made it to the endpoint. "See? Wasn't that invigorating?" Kara said to him.

Valestro got out of the car and puked. "That's what I envy about you, humans. You are all so very close to death at all times. It really doesn't take much. For me, very little excites me. I fear nothing," Kara said reflectively.

Valestro got his bearings and was suddenly slammed into a bench. "Have a seat, Sal," Kara said to him. "Tell me what's on your so-called mind," Kara said condescendingly as she took a seat across from him.

"It's Batwoman. She's gone nuts. First, she whacked Chuckie Sol, then Buzz Bronski, and now she's going to be after me," Valestro said freaked out.

"Here's the problem, Sal. She's a woman, I'm a woman. We sisters have to stick together," Kara smiled.

"This isn't a joke. Batwoman is knocking us off, and you're the only one that can take her down," Valestro said urgently.

"Well...finally some respect," Kara allowed. "But what I do look like, pest-control?"

"I'll give you five million upfront, another five to finish her off," Valestro offered.

"Here's the thing about controlling not one but two super-powers: I have all the money I could ever want," Kara said.

"Once she gets me, how long do you think it will take before she gets you," Valestro argued.

"Seriously?" Kara rolled her eyes.

"Your hands are just as dirty as mine, dirtier. If anything happens to me, my lawyer will release my will to the press detailing who you really are," Valestro threatened.

"Well played, Sal," Kara smiled impressed. "Of course I'll help you out. No one is going to hurt my pal, Sal."

Valestro smiled feeling relieved. "That's it. That's what I want to see. A nice big smile," Kara grinned.


Later that night, the Phantom came upon Valestro's mansion. He went through the window on the top floor and went down the hall. He found Valestro reading a newspaper next to his fireplace. "Sal Valestro, your angel of death awaits," he said as he pulled the newspaper away. Valestro was revealed to already be dead with a large hole in his chest. A camera was placed in his lap.

Kara and Alina watched the camera footage from a van nearby. "Well, I'll be damned. It's not Batwoman after all," Kara said to Alina.

Alina pushed a button. The explosives around Valestro's body suddenly went off. The Phantom ran out of the mansion as it exploded. He flung himself out the window barely escaping the explosion. "Did you take care of his lawyer?" Kara asked Alina.

"Of course," she replied.

Kara called the Gotham PD. "I would like to report an explosion at the Valestro Salvatore residence. Yeah, a really big explosion. I also saw someone running away from it. It could be Batwoman. Yeah, I would bring everything you have," Kara said and then hung up.

"A fast-moving bogie is approaching," Alina reported.

Kara got out some popcorn. "This is going to be good."

A black jet went straight for the Phantom as he ran across rooftops. The jet targeted the Phantom and fired machine guns on him. The Phantom ran as fast as he could and ran in a zig-zag pattern as the jet fired on him. Water towers were blasted apart by the gunfire. Batwoman switched to missiles and fired off low-yield missiles on the Phantom creating explosions on the roof the Phantom was on. The Phantom fell to the rooftop stunned.

Batwoman put the jet on auto-pilot and then exited the jet landing on the roof. "Stay away. This is not your fight," Phantom said to her.

"You're making me look like a bitch out there," Batwoman said pissed off.

Phantom punched Batwoman hard to the floor. Batwoman countered with a kick sending Phantom to the floor. "This madness ends now," Batwoman said as the two wrestled for control. The Phantom and Batwoman got up as Gotham PD helicopters showed up. Phantom elbowed Batwoman hard and then disappeared in the smoke.

"Well...shit," Batwoman realized she had lost him.

"Batwoman, you are under arrest. This is the police," the helicopters told her. "Put your hands on your head and stay in the light."

"Yeah, fuck that," Batwoman said and ran off.

The Gotham PD helicopters pursued Batwoman firing at her as they did. Batwoman jumped and swung off buildings to get away from the helicopters. The Gotham PD cornered her on a roof. Flipping off the roof, Batwoman fired a projectile rope gun to the unfinished skyscraper, the same one that Manchester Black had used.

The DEO were quickly on the scene with Brainiac 5 and Col. Haley coming out to observe the Gotham PD. "Where is Director Danvers?" Col. Haley asked Brainiac 5.

"She's predisposed at the moment," Brainiac 5 said looking up.

Kara landed next to them as Supergirl. "We got the bitch now," Kara said pleased.

"How is she any different than you?" Col. Haley asked her.

"I'm not wearing a mask," Kara said obviously.

"We all wear masks," Col. Haley told her.

"I'm not really into being philosophical, right now. I'm more into kicking ass," Kara said dismissively.

The Gotham PD fired all of their automatic rifles on the skyscraper hoping to hit her. "You guys all suck. I'll show you how it's done," Kara said firing heat beams into the skyscraper. It made a direct hit on gas tanks lying around creating a massive explosion.

A helicopter then found an injured Batwoman in the skyscraper. "We have her," they radioed.

Batwoman fired a rope projectile gun at the helicopter and swung towards it. The Gotham PD lit her up blasting her full of holes. "That's just a cape, you idiots," Kara said to them.

"Quick, around the back," a SWAT leader said to his men.

Batwoman without her mask on came down from the skyscraper and ran off. The SWAT team was fast on her trail. She leaped metal fences and finally got into a car that drove her away. "She got away," the SWAT leader radioed in.

"Well...shit," Kara said disappointedly and walked off.


Kara made her way back to the amusement park and waited alone in the observation lounge looking over the park. The wind picked up as the glass doors opened. "So...how can I help you?" Kara asked as smoke filled the room. The Phantom emerged from the smoke.

"Kara Zor-El, your angel of death awaits," the Phantom said.

Kara scanned the Phantom's mask and found it lined with lead. "I'm impressed, lady. You're harder to kill than most humans I've come across."

"So, you figured it out," the Phantom took off her mask.

"Got to hand it to you. Nice scheme. The costume is a little theatrical but who am I to judge?" Kara smirked. Kara then went for a killer punch only for Phantom to dodge her and blast her with smoke.

"That's slightly inconvenient," Kara said and then realized Kryptonite particles were in the smoke. "Oh, fuck," she realized.

Phantom activated her blade making it glow green. Kara stared at the Phantom and tried to fry her with heat vision, but her body was too weak to do it. "You're an impostor. You're the source of all this. You created the Children of Liberty. You created Manchester Black. You Russian bitch," Phantom accused.

"Yeah, try proving any of that," Kara scoffed.

"I don't have to prove anything now. I'm outside the law, and I've come to kill you," Phantom said and then attacked Kara with her blade. The two fought evenly inside the room with Phantom getting a few cuts on Kara with her blade. Kara painfully took hold of the blade and took it off her hand. Phantom rammed her into a desk and punched her continuously.

Kara kicked her away and then ran off throwing herself through the window to escape. Phantom picked up her blade and placed it back on her hand. She looked around for Kara exhaustedly. Leaping down with smoke all around her, she looked for Kara. A powerful wind blasted Phantom off her feet and into the air. Phantom reached out and held onto a tall flag pole. If she were to fall from that height, it would kill her. Kara continued to blast her with wind waiting for her to lose her grip. Suddenly, a motorcycle rider slammed into Kara distracting her. Kara fell to the ground with the motorcycle in pieces around her.

"What gives...Director Danvers?" Kara sneered at her.

"This isn't how we do things," Alex said to her.

"Oh really?" Kara scoffed as she got back up. "She attacked me. Do you even know who she is?"

"We'll take her in for questioning," Alex said.

"Not this time. This time, she stays dead," Kara said as Phantom came down the pole.

Kara and Alex advanced on her. "It would appear we have a reunion on our hands," Kara said amused.

"Is that you...Maggie?" Alex asked stunned.

Maggie looked away, embarrassed by her appearance. Her face was heavily scarred and her hair was gone. She had very little resemblance to Maggie Sawyer but Alex could tell. "Don't look at me," Maggie said in an unrecognizable voice.

"Is it her? Tell me," Alex shouted at Kara.

"It is," Kara confirmed.

"Where have you been this entire time?" Alex asked. "I thought you were dead."

"Her prisoner," Maggie glared at Kara.

"What the fuck?" Alex wondered of Kara.

"Cat's out of the bag now," Kara realized.

"She's been behind everything, Lockwood, Black, and Luthor. She's a Russian agent. She's got the president under her thumb. She questioned me to get information about you. This isn't the original Supergirl. This is a copy of her," Maggie said.

"You think I am the villain?" Kara sneered. "Your lifestyle and beliefs are hedonistic and will rot this country. Thank God I live in a nation where people like you can't infect the public."

"Fuck you, I was born this way," Maggie said to her.

"And you will die this way," Kara glared.

"Stop! Maggie, why did you kill those people?" Alex asked.

"They were gangsters working for her. They helped Black during his reign of terror. They're the reason why we were separated. Why I look like this," Maggie said.

"Come back to me, Maggie. I don't care what you look like," Alex said sincerely.

"I'm barely alive, Alex. I have to pump myself full of drugs just to wake up. I'm dying," Maggie said barely able to stand.

"So, who is the Batwoman?" Kara wondered looking at Alex.

"I'm the Batwoman," Alex said.

"Yeah, bullshit," Kara doubted. "You're just saying that because I can't kill you. Tell me who she really is," Kara ordered.

"Fuck you," Alex replied.

"I'll find out soon enough," Kara told her.

"Alex, leave. I didn't want you to see me like this," Maggie said to her.

"I'm taking you home," Alex told her.

"No, you're not," Kara stood in her way. Kara embraced Alex and kissed her passionately. Alex went into a daze as she was kissed. Kara then knocked her out.

Kara let Alex drop to the ground and then turned to Maggie. "You have this whole place filled with explosives lined with Kryptonite. You have a good chance of actually killing me, but you'll have to kill Alex, too," Kara said putting her boot on Alex.

"Damn you," Maggie said unable to push the detonator.

"It's hard to sacrifice the ones you love for the greater good," Kara said sympathetically.

"You act like it's easy for you," Maggie shouted at her.

"Everything is easy after the fact," Kara said to her.

Maggie looked at Alex's body and then back at Kara. "Fuck," she said, uncertain of what to do. "Destroy my body completely. I don't want her to know the Phantom was me," Maggie requested.

"Of course," Kara allowed and then incinerated Maggie on the spot.

Kara then waited with Alex as the Gotham PD and ambulance showed up. Detective Bullock came out to meet Kara. "Hell of a fight it looks like. Did you get an ID on Batwoman?" he asked.

"No, I, unfortunately, destroyed her completely. Sometimes, I don't know my own strength," Kara said apologetically.

"Well, at least it's over," he said.

"Yeah," Kara agreed.

Alex was taken away in an ambulance. Alina came by dressed as a cop. "Get rid of that thing, will you?" Kara requested of her referring to the Phantom's blade.

Alina picked it up. "Is the situation contained?" she asked.

"It's contained," Kara said confidently.


Katherine Kane sighed as she had another drink at a popular lesbian bar. No one had approached her as she was lost in her thoughts. Kara then sat down next to her. "Can I buy you a drink?" Kara asked wearing civilian clothes and her glasses.

"Sure," Kate said gratefully.

"You look like someone who needs some company," Kara said knowingly.

"I was hoping for more than that," Kate smiled sadly.

"I have a secret. I'm really new to this scene. I am so inexperienced," Kara admitted.

"I was once that way, too. It's okay. For once, I would like to meet someone that I can trust my secrets with," Kate said.

"Maybe, I could be that girl," Kara smiled. "Want to dance?"

"Sure," Kate said finishing her drink and joining her on the dance floor. As they held each other, Kara decided to be a little bold.

"Can I kiss you?" Kara asked awkwardly.

"Yeah, I would like that," Kate allowed.

Kara kissed Kate for a moment. "That was amazing," Kara said to her.

"You really think so?" Kate smiled.

"Let's get out of here," Kara suggested.

"Where do you live?" Kate asked.

Kara told her the address. "Wow, that's a really nice area of Metropolis," Kate said impressed. The two exited the bar and went down an alley. Kate then suddenly dropped to the pavement. Two masked men took Kate away in a van and quickly drove off.

"You sure it's her?" Alina asked Kara walking up to her.

"I'm sure," Kara said. "Want to go in?"

Alina rolled her eyes at her and the two walked off into the night.
