Season 4.5 Episode 16

Kara and Winn exited a cab and got themselves a hotel room in Metropolis. It wasn't long before the two of them made out and finally had sex. After they were finished, the two reflected on what they had done. "You weren't bad. You've improved since a few years back," Kara complimented.

"I'm just amazed I was able to even do it," Winn said impressed with himself.

"Don't be. I can lower my power level to the point where I can do it with anyone, even a weak human like yourself," she teased.

"We're both married with kids. Are we bad people?" Winn wondered.

"Maybe," Kara considered. "I like to think I do more good than bad. How about you?"

"The same," Winn nodded.

"I just know that I had to get off. It's been so long without Mon," Kara said starved.

"Did you ever civilize him...like Beauty and the Beast?" Winn asked.

"Fuck no. He's still a total savage. The only thing keeping him from blowing up the galaxy is me," Kara said.

"How do you deal with that?" Winn asked curiously.

"Because...he would be a lot worse without me. It's not about finding the perfect person. It's about two people making themselves better than if they were apart," Kara said.

"That's so wise," Winn said. "Thara is just so perfect though."

"Thara is boring as fuck on a boring as fuck city. You need to provide her with human culture like movies, television, and music. You need to bring fun to Argo City," Kara told him.

"Just as soon as I get that Harun-El," Winn said resolved.

"You will. I promise you," Kara assured him.

At L Tower, Lucy looked over photos captured of Winn, Question, Manchester, Asian woman, and Hank. Lucy stared at Hank and then back to Winn with hateful eyes wondering why they would betray her like this. Soon thereafter, what was left of the Seven arrived for a meeting.

"What's going on?" James asked as he came in.

"We have issues to discuss," Lucy said to them all. "Take a seat, A-Train."

Lucy waited for James to sit down. In front of her was Jason (controlled by Brainiac 5), James, and Kara disguised as Annie. "I felt it was time for some tough love. Some of you lack discipline. You've been erratic, unreliable, and downright sloppy," Lucy critiqued.

"Not you, Red Hood. You've been great," Lucy pointed out as he sat there wearing his red mask lined with lead.

"But the rest of you, I am disappointed. We have to keep our eye on the ball. Our enemies are storming the gates. I mean, we're not even the Seven anymore. Bombshell is dead, Dark Angel is still missing, and The Deep is on sabbatical because of your sexual harassment claim," Lucy said.

"I'm not apologizing," Kara smirked.

"Nor should you. It's his fuck-up, not yours, Starlight," Lucy said quickly. "We are dropping like fucking flies but at least I know why."

Lucy then turned on the TV monitor showing Winn's face. "Is this a joke?" James smiled amused.

"Most of us here know Winn Schott, the son of the terrorist Toy Maker. Apparently, he learned a few tricks from his old man. He is going steady with Starlight," Lucy said.

"Steady is a strong word," Kara denied.

"He is responsible for killing Bombshell and interfering with our Harun-El transportation networks," Lucy said.

"Winn couldn't hurt a fly. There's no way he could have destroyed Bombshell," James doubted.

"Why would he ever do such a thing?" Kara rolled her eyes.

"Good question. Not too long ago, he came in here demanding Harun-El. We turned him down and now he's trying to fuck with us," Lucy summarized. "Now, Winn's associate is Manchester Black, a British national. A-Train, here, ran over his girlfriend, Fiona," Lucy said.

"Shit," James realized.

"I don't know what's going on here, but Winn is not capable of being a terrorist. He's weak-willed, fragile, and a total nerd," Kara said.

"That's where you're wrong, Starlight. Going over his time at the DEO, he has contributed to a great many alien kills. More than that, he's receiving help from not just Manchester Black but two others as well," Lucy said and then showed pictures of Question and Hank.

"Question is a conspiracy nut-job that can disguise himself as anyone. We don't even know his real name. Hank Henshaw, former Director of the DEO, is actually a Martian by the name of J'onn J'onzz. He is responsible for more alien kills than anyone on this planet," Lucy said haunted by his face.

Kara coughed at that. "He can take on any form, phase his body, fly, heat vision, and super-strength. They say he is the only one Superman truly fears. You might be wondering why Bombshell ended up in the Pacific," Lucy said showing a screen of the world map.

"As it happens, a direct line from Metropolis through the planet has you ending up in this island cluster in the East Pacific. He went through the fucking Earth and detonated her away from the city. This is the kind of threat we're talking about," Lucy said to them.

"I know J'onn a long time, so I got nothing to worry about," James smiled.

"We are the Seven. We are a team and these assholes are trying to ruin what we have been trying to achieve here. We have spread out heroes across the country reducing crime rates. We have turned a deficit into a surplus at the DEO. We will soon be part of the US armed forces and when that happens the War on Terror will be over. Our troops can come home, the terrorists will be dead, and we won't be spending billions of dollars in those shit-hole countries," Lucy said.

"Here, here," Kara mocked.

"You know what I've noticed, Starlight. Ever since you've joined the Seven, it's been one fuck-up after another. You are dating this terrorist that killed Bombshell. You got rid of The Deep. All so that your ratings could go up," Lucy accused.

Kara stood up offended and put her hands out defensively. "Put those hands at your side," Lucy warned as her eyes turned red. "So, which one of us is next, Starlight?"

"I didn't do anything," Kara lied.

"You have been helping these terrorists against us!" Lucy accused.

"No," Kara shook her head.

"Shut your fucking mouth. If you were in my position, what would you do to you?" Lucy asked angrily.

"She didn't know," James stood up for her.

"Her heart rate is completely steady like she doesn't give a shit," Lucy detected.

"Come on, she's just stupid," James said.

"I hope you're right," Lucy glared at James. "Class dismissed," she said storming out.

Winn entered the safe-house and was confronted by a disgruntled Manchester Black. "I think some of you have divided loyalties," Manchester accused. "A-Train is your Guardian pal, isn't he?"

"Yeah," Winn admitted.

"He ran through the love of my life. He's going to pay for what he's done," Manchester said angrily.

"Look, he's not your real enemy. It's the system," Winn downplayed.

"Bullshit, any system is made up of individual people making individual decisions. He blasted Fiona apart, not the fucking system," Manchester raged.

"We've been burned," Question said as his computer went offline.

Winn then got a phone call from James. "Hey, buddy, I just want to talk," James said.

"Sure, where at?" Winn asked.

"How about your mom's place," James said seriously.

"Shit," Winn realized.

Winn went over to his mom's house but James wasn't around. "He's acting really jumpy," Mary said nervously.

"Where is he?" Winn asked.

"Look what I got," James said arriving with a twelve-pack of beer.

"What is this about?" Mary wondered.

"Hey, I'm sorry for bringing your mom into this. It's just, I didn't think you would come unless I did," James said.

"No harm, no foul," Winn smiled nervously.

"You got to knock off this shit. Lena will get you your Harun-El in time," James assured him.

"This goes beyond just the Harun-El, James. This is an injustice. Corporations and superheroes do not mix," Winn told him.

"And governments do? What about all that shady shit at the DEO?" James asked.

Winn placed an envelope on the table. "It's going to be leaked soon, so you should see it first," Winn said.

James quickly looked over the evidence of Superwoman and Dark Angel entering the doomed plane and then exiting. "The fuck?" he wondered.

"They were on that plane. They fucked up somehow and they let the plane crash killing all those people," Winn said.

"This has to be a mistake," James said confused.

"The Black box went missing. They covered their tracks. Do you know why Dark Angel is missing? It's because Lucy killed her," Winn said.

"Fuck-ups happen, alright. We are at war against terrorists and organized crime," James said defensively.

"They could have saved the plane, but they chose not because it would have been bad PR if they had failed. So, they covered it up, they let the plane crash, and then used the crash to push through the Seven Bill through Congress," Winn said.

"If you leak this shit, the Seven will be destroyed. Lena will be destroyed," James said.

"This is corrupt," Winn said.

"How did it get this bad between us. You're making me choose between Lena and you? What the fuck am I supposed to do?" James asked conflicted.

"The right thing to do. The Guardian thing to do," Winn said. "You're a drug addict, James. I got some Harun-El you can use, but you have to leave the Seven."

"I don't need that shit," James lied.

Asian woman came out of nowhere and struck James to the femur breaking it cleanly. James cried out in pain as he fell. Asian woman then shot out cables that wrapped around Jame's limbs keeping him still. "I am so sorry," Winn said apologetically.

Lena was in her office gaining the support of a skeptical US Senator. "Three more votes to go," she said hanging up the phone.

Lucy clapped her hands pleased. "The Pentagon tells me, we could have thirty-five billion on the low-end," Lena said pleased. "That puts us ahead of Lockheed."

"Amazing," Lucy complimented.

"We did this. You and me," Lena said sitting next to her on the couch. "This is about us."

"Our former friends have turned on us: Winn, Hank, and maybe even James," Lucy said disturbed by it.

"Don't worry about them. They'll come around," Lucy assured her.

"We're not even Seven anymore," Lucy complained.

"Lucy, the Seven is like the Supreme Court. Ideally, it should be Seven but occasionally there will be vacancies. There are hundreds of heroes auditioning to be one of the Seven all year round. Don't worry your little head about it," Lena said.

"Okay," Lucy said nodding.

"How about tonight we go out for dinner and stay in, just the two of us," Lena suggested.

"I'd like that," Lucy agreed.

Garth aka The Deep brought a fan-girl to his hotel room. "You're going to love it here. You like roller coasters?" she asked.

"I'm more a waterpark kind of guy," Garth said as he made out with her.

"You first," the woman said to Garth referring to his top.

"That's different," Garth said amused.

"I'm not like most girls," she said flirtatiously.

"I don't look like everyone else," Garth warned her.

"That's what I'm counting on," she smiled.

Garth took off his top revealing sets of gills on his abdomen. "That is so cool," she said seeing them.

"Really? You're not grossed out?" Garth asked.

"Of course not. It actually turns me on," she said and then brought him to the couch sitting on his lap.

"Be careful, they're tender," Garth said to her.

"I'll try," the woman said, and then cables sprouted out of her fingers and entered his gills.

"What the fuck?" Garth cried out.

The Brainiac 5 drone kept Garth in place as the cables went inside his body. Any movement by Garth would result in excruciating pain. Brainiac 5 then released poison into his body knocking him out. She withdrew her cables as he passed out.

"You'll make an excellent addition to my collection," Brainiac 5 said as the woman's body morphed into his default form.

Lucy came by her father's house in the countryside wearing casual clothes. "It seems retirement suits you," she remarked.

"Well, with you out there, I don't have to worry about our nation's security anymore," Sam Lane replied.

"These were sent to me with the threat it would be leaked to the press," Lucy said handing an envelope over to him.

Sam looked over the grisly photos of Lucy killing the super-babies at the hospital while in her Superwoman uniform. She was seen tearing them apart, biting them, and eating them bloody raw. "Does Lena know?" Sam asked.

"Not yet," Lucy said.

"Ghastly," Sam said giving her back the photos.

"Tell me, where the fuck is she?" Lucy demanded.

Lucy and Sam went into the study to talk. "Eight years ago, your sister, Laura, went fucking nuts. She couldn't be controlled, so she was sent to an asylum for treatment. I knew Laura could jeopardize your future as an Army officer, as a lawyer, as a superhero," Sam said.

"Did she get better?" Lucy asked.

"Evidently not. I think she's jealous of your success. She wants to be like you. She escaped not too long ago. I retired from the army and have spent my days trying to track her down. I've hidden it for so long that I had a third daughter, your twin sister. Now, I have no choice but to explain the situation," Sam said grimly.

"If she could kill these super-babies, she must have my powers as well," Lucy realized.

"You have to stop her. Only you can," Sam told her.

Lena sat down in front of Alex at the CIA building. "I'm not following," Lena admitted.

"You and your company are fucked, unequivocably fucked," Alex clarified. "Was that clearer for you?"

"I don't have time for this shit," Lena said about to leave.

"We have evidence of you putting this Harun-El shit into babies' arms. Your heroes were on that doomed plane just before it crashed. We have satellite images of them coming and going from that plane," Alex said showing her the photos.

"What do you want, Alex?" Lena asked crossly.

"No superheroes in our armed forces for one," Alex said.

"The bill is already on the floor," Lena said confidently.

"The president is a piece-of-shit asshole but even he won't sign it after I tell him this. I can guarantee you that," Alex said. "So, you're going to pull the bill and let the government run the military," Alex said.

"And if I refuse?" Lena asked.

"Everything goes public," Alex said obviously. "Corruption story of the century. L Corp shares go to zero, civil suits, criminal prosecutions, you go bankrupt, and you end up in a cell just like your brother."

"Why are you doing this, Alex? I thought we were friends," Lena said bitterly.

"It's because we're friends that I am even offering a deal at all," Alex said. A CIA analyst whispered into her ear. "We're done here," Alex said getting up.

"I hope nothing's wrong," Lena said knowingly as Alex abruptly left the room.

Alex entered the command room and saw video footage from a Special Forces team. It showed them killing terrorists in Syria. "Good, we killed the prick that planned the hijacking of that plane," Alex said pleased.

"Keep watching," an analyst told her.

Alex watched as the Special Forces team came across a shirtless man. He refused to comply with their orders and then lit up in a firebomb that killed them all. The super-terrorist then exited the building unharmed. "How is that son-of-a-bitch still alive?" Alex asked.

"We believe he goes by Captain Jihad, his supe name," an analyst told her.

"Are you telling me the terrorists also have Harun-El?" Alex asked stupified.

Author's Notes: In Season 1, it was mockingly suggested Lucy had a twin because her military uniform was so accomplished within such a short period of time that it would be impossible for her to have a relationship with James. In Season 4.5, the twin theory is confirmed implying James may have been unwittingly been in a relationship with both Lucy and Laura at the same time.
