All the Marvel heroes showed up for the funeral of T'Challa of Wakanda. Queen Mother Ramonda and Princess Suri were front in center with Okoye leading the Dora Milaje all-female guard. T'Challa had kept his undisclosed illness a secret but many suspected the trauma he had experienced at the hands of Killmonger had something to do with it. His body was placed on a funeral pyre for all to see. Supergirl, Mon-El impersonating Superman, and Brainiac 5 were present for the ceremony a distance away from everyone else. It was twilight allowing citizens of Wakanda to see it for miles.

W'Kabi was brought before Suri in handcuffs. He had been convicted by T'Challa for treason for siding with Killmonger a few years prior in a coup. "My brother would have wanted reconciliation. I set you free and charge you with the borders of Wakanda," Suri said to him and then had him released.

M'Baku towered over Suri. "I will respect the mourning period. Wakanda is yours until a new king is appointed," he said to her.

Suri gave him an uneasy expression realizing he would contest her right to the throne. Wakanda had never had a female ruler before. Even with all the advancements they had made technologically, Wakanda still kept to the tradition that people contesting the throne beat the shit out of each other to become absolute ruler. Suri then lit T'Challa's body on fire and stepped back.

"There is no doubt Killmonger was an asshole," Kara remarked to Brainiac 5.

"Always two there are, no more, no less, a master and an apprentice," Brainiac 5 replied.

"But which one was destroyed? The master or the apprentice?" Kara wondered as she eyed Suri suspiciously.

Suri and Brainiac 5 walked through the basement garden that housed the Vibranium herb. "I am no match for M'Baku. He will surely win and bring Wakanda back to the dark ages. He is not competent to be Wakanda's leader," Suri said.

"Of that, we both agree," Brainiac 5 replied. "In return for an herb sample, I will help you keep Wakanda under your control."

"How? Vibranium juice is forbidden in kingship battles," Suri said confused.

"One of my units will fight M'Baku using your appearance," Brainiac 5 said simply.

"It is his right to request a medical examination. How would you pass?" Suri asked.

"Behold Brainiac 5 Model 101," Brainiac 5 said showing a unit that looked perfectly like Suri in appearance. "Living tissue over metal endoskeleton. She has your DNA and blood. She'll pass any test by M'Baku."

"Impressive. Do you program your neural synapsis to work collectively?" Suri asked.

"Multiply that by infinity, take it to the depths of forever, and you'll still have only a glimpse of what I am," Brainiac 5 said seriously.

"Damn," Suri said intimidated.

"Do not worry, princess. Once Wakanda is yours, you will give me all of your technological research," Brainiac 5 ordered her.

"The White man has taught you well," Suri said bitterly.

"The White man learned from me," Brainiac 5 replied and walked out.

At the great waterfall, M'Baku contested the throne from Suri. He confidently flexed his muscles and declined to wear any armor or the use of any weapons. The leaders of the five tribes, Ramonda, Okoye, and the female guard, W'Kabi, and a disguised Brainiac 5 unit were present. A far distance away Kara and Mon watched the fight with their falcon vision.

Suri put on her brother's panther mask while M'Baku put on his gorilla mask. The female guard surrounded the two combatants to keep them from fleeing. The fight would be to the death, incapacitation, or surrender. The fight was in a pool below a waterfall with cliffs on all sides. "Let the challenge begin," Zuri declared.

Suri didn't move as M'Baku got behind her and placed her in a full nelson. "Not even a challenge," he said to her as he kept her still. Suri calmly grabbed his hand, crushed it, and then peeled him away from her. She then pushed him up against a rock. With her right hand, she punched forward nearly hitting M'Baku for a knock-out punch. M'Baku attempted to get back up when Suri grabbed a hold of him and threw him off the cliff.

At this point, the female guard and Mountain tribe broke up the fight. "He'll live," Suri said emotionlessly as M'Baku held on for dear life below.

"My God, you almost killed him," Okoye scolded.

"Of course, I'm a...princess," Suri said unconvincingly.

"Listen to me very carefully. You're no longer a princess. You are now queen of Wakanda," Okoye told her. "You can't just go around killing your subjects."

"Why?" Suri wondered.

"What do you mean why? Because you can't," Okoye said obviously.

"Why?" Suri repeated.

"Because you just can't. Trust me on this," Okoye said flustered.

A beaten M'Baku was finally pulled back up by his people. "I demand she be tested for Vibranium," he said pissed-off and embarrassed.

"Well...shit," Okoye frowned.

In the throne room, the real Suri sat on the throne comfortably with the leaders of the five tribes as her advisers. M'Baku held a disgruntled face as the results were not favorable to him. "She passed all the medical tests. You have lost. Concede with honor," Okoye demanded of him.

"I respect the lab findings on the basis that I don't even know what DNA is," M'Baku admitted.

"I shall make you commander in chief of Wakanda's armed forces," Suri offered.

"Fuck yeah," M'Baku readily agreed.

"W'Kabi, you served my family well before you became a total traitor. You shall command the coast guard," Suri ordered.

M'Baku and W'Kabi gave each other look like they hated each other...which they did. "I have a UN conference to go to. Behave while I am gone," Suri ordered.

UN Conference, New York City

Suri came before a podium to answer questions from reporters. In attendance were Kara and Mon. The majority of reporters ask softball questions meant to make them look progressive. The press conference was going well for Suri until Kara Danvers stood up. "Will Wakanda be accepting the Covid 19 vaccine?" Kara asked already knowing the answer.

"Not at this time. We still have questions concerning what's in it," Suri said.

Immediately, the press corp was in an uproar. Suri looked over the mostly white crowd offended and didn't back down. "If you don't conform to popular opinions and think for yourself, you get canceled by the White man. Our own doctors are questioning the vaccine. Are you going to cancel them, too?" she asked rhetorically.

"As one of the poorest nations on Earth, don't you think you should just do what the White man tells you to do?" Mon asked condescendingly as he continued to impersonate Clark Kent.

Suri bristled at the comment. "Wakanda will never be told how to manage its own affairs. We are a proud and independent nation. You all can kiss my ass," she said and then abruptly ended the press conference.

Brainiac 5 came up to Kara. "You wanted me to assist her in keeping power only to tear her down on the international stage?" he questioned.

"What the Lord giveth, She can taketh away," Kara smiled.

Reporters immediately descended upon the not-so-secret Avengers base. Col. Rhodes came out to speak to reporters to avoid any racial bias on the part of the nearly all-White Avengers team. "I haven't spoken to her personally about it. I won't be doing it on Twitter. If I see her, I'll set her straight if she's fucked up," he told the reporters.

"Have you seen the video?" Kara asked.

"I'm trying to find the video now," he said looking at his phone at Suri's press conference. He held the reporters in suspense as he watched the whole video. "Jesus, this is hot garbage. Everything she said sounded crazy and fucked up. I would never defend anybody saying this, but I still won't throw her away over it. I had no idea," he said astounded.

"In the event, the UN forms an intervention in Wakanda, will the Avengers come to their defense?" Kara asked with Mon beside her.

"Probably not," Col. Rhodes shot down.

At the same time, Suri continued to attack the UN's response to her press conference. "If the UN has a problem with me, they can sanction me. Sanction me with your army. Oh, wait a minute, you don't have an army. I guess that means you should shut the fuck up. That's what I'd do if I didn't have an army. I...would...shut...the...fuck...up. That's right. If you think I'm going to take orders from a Portuguese colonizer, you got me fucked up. Killmonger was right," she said bitterly and then dropped the mic.

Lake Victoria

The UN didn't arrive at Wakanda but the British, French and the rest of the European Union armed forces did. They bribed Tanzania to get a staging ground on Ukerewe Island in Lake Victoria. On the other side of Lake Victoria was Wakanda still using a hologram shield to hide their nation's wealth and technology. A few brigades were flown into Tanzania while the military command headquartered on the island.

Supergirl looked out the headquarters window for any incoming Wakanda aircraft while the European commanders bickered as to what to do. "We have an army, a fleet, and three Vindicators. We should hit the capital now," the British commander pressed.

"Finally some respect," Kara said pleased as she turned around.

"We should hit them long and hard with everything we have," the British commander continued.

"Now, you're talking my language," Kara said impressed.

"We let the Vindicators loose, tens of thousands will die in the firestorm," the French commander brought up earning a dirty look from Kara.

"It's called war. If you don't have the stomach for it, go back home," Mon said rudely. "Let them burn."

"We know all about how the Americans fight. Kill them all in a flash of light," the French commander rebuked. "The people here are innocent."

"There are no innocents in war," Mon corrected.

"So much for truth and justice," the French commander sneered.

"That's enough. Superman is a Kryptonian. You will treat him with respect," Kara rebuked him. "I am not here to be the queen of the ashes."

"They won't obey us until they fear us," the British commander said to her.

"We should surround the capital city and prevent all supplies from entering while controlling the airspace," the French commander suggested.

"No, the Wakanda people are too well supplied with their own independent energy supply. They can last for years while we lose people to disease, accidents, and sneak attacks," the British commander rejected.

"Generals, prepare your men for a surface attack," Kara said to them.

"What about their fleet?" the French commander asked skeptically.

"Leave that to me," Kara said. "We will crush Wakanda in one swift stroke with minimal civilian casualties."

That night, Kara entered her chambers and found Mon. "Are you drunk?" she asked accusingly.

"Well...maybe a little," he admitted as he stumbled back to his feet.

The two passionately kissed even while in uniform. If anyone had seen it, they would be shocked and appalled. Mon pulled on Kara's Supergirl uniform to tear it off but then stopped himself and walked away. "Today, I saw you with the men. I saw how they looked at you, thinking you were Superman. I know that look. It's a look I was never given," Kara said subdued as she sat on the bed.

"I told you I didn't want to do this," Mon excused himself.

"It doesn't matter!" Kara snapped at him. "It doesn't matter what you want. What happens when the people demand you be the leader of the Justice League and take what is rightfully mine?"

"I'll refuse. I don't give a shit about the Justice League and neither should you," Mon said dismissively. "I'll even tell them I'm not really Kal-El."

"No, you must not say anything to anyone as to who you are. Swear to all your dead family relatives I killed to secrecy or it will ruin everything. I want Superman to always bend the knee to me, how it should have been from the beginning," Kara said passionately.

"You need to get over yourself," Mon told her.

"I've never begged for anything, but I'm begging you now to stick to the plan no matter what," Kara said to him.

"You will always be my queen," Mon said vaguely.

"Is that all I am to you?" Kara narrowed her eyes.

"You're being a crazy bitch, right now," Mon said to her as he backed away.

"Alright then," Kara said giving him an icy stare. "Fear, it is."

"I've assessed the situation and I'm leaving," Mon said, suddenly disappearing from the room.

"You bastard!" Kara spat as he disappeared.

The next morning, Kara and Brainiac 5 walked across the beach of the island as the European army got ready. "You should give them a chance to surrender. It is the custom of Wakanda that if they ring their church bells, they mean to surrender," Brainiac 5 said.

"That sounds like bullshit," Kara doubted.

"You must trust me on this. Thousands of lives are at stake," Brainiac 5 told her.

"Very well," Kara allowed. "But I won't stop the attack until I hear those bells."

"Fair enough," Brainiac 5 allowed.

"Am I doing the right thing, Barney?" Kara asked uncertainly.

"We are correcting a mistake. Suri should never have been made queen," Brainiac 5 admitted.

"I hope we end up saving more people with the vaccine distribution than they will lose in this battle," Kara said.

"We must not only consider how many lives we save today but how many lives we will save for many years to come. We've done the same thing to several planets that refused the Blight vaccine in the future," Brainiac 5 reminded her.

Kara nodded. "I won't attack until the Europeans are ready. This victory should belong to them as much as it belongs to me."

"It will be a day long remembered, the fall of Wakanda and the end of a dynasty," Brainiac 5 agreed.

European security forces arrested Nakia as a Wakanda spy and brought her before Kara, Mon, Brainiac 5, and some high-ranking officers. "It was me," Brainiac 5 said to her.

Nakia nodded. "I hope I deserve this."

Brainiac 5 said nothing to that and stepped away. "Lady Nakia, I, Kara Zor-El, first of my name, breaker of chains and mother to this world, sentences you to die," Kara said to her.

Nakia merely stared her down completely fearless. Kara fired heat vision at her lighting her clothes and body on fire. Nakia became engulfed in the flames, collapsed on the ground, and burned to death completely silent. The flames took a while to consume the body. Mon eyed the execution somewhat surprised. Typically, Kara would give an enemy an instant kill.

"She didn't even scream. That's a first," Kara mused.

"Indeed," Brainiac 5 agreed.

"Let's move," Kara ordered.

The European army moved behind the Wakanda capital city through Kenya but was blocked by the shields. Kara, Mon, Brainiac 5, and the European commanders were perched on a Ssese island within eyesight of the Wakanda capital. "Shouldn't we wait," the French commander asked nervously.

Kara gave him a disgusted look and turned back towards the city. "Begin," she ordered.

European bombers fired on the shield with missiles creating loud crackles of light on impact. The shield appeared to be maintaining its integrity as the European fighters dumped everything they had on it including machine gunfire. Inside the capital city, the Wakanda people looked upon their shield in awe. Kara sighed and then fired heat vision at the shield in a powerful burst.

After a moment of failure, Kara backed off and closed her eyes painfully. "The fuck?" she wondered. She fired again and this time overloaded the Wakanda shields dropping them.

The European army cautiously approached the Wakanda walls and gates of the city. In front of them was the Wakanda army led by M'Baku inexplicably deciding to fight outside his own walls. On the walls were anti-aircraft guns powered by Vibranium. M'Baku gave a chant to his men as they readied their laser spears. The European army kept its distance outside the range of the laser spears but well within the range of artillery.

"Shall we commence attack?" a British Colonel asked his general.

"No, I have my orders from Supergirl, herself. She has something special planned for them," the British general replied.

On Lake Victoria, the Wakanda fleet sat ready to defend the coasts. The ships numbered two dozen destroyers and frigates all armed with Vibranium laser cannons. W'Kabi looked up at the sun as he thought he saw something. "You shouldn't look at the sun directly, Sir," an Lt. told him.

"Shut up. I think I see something," W'Kabi told him off.

He then saw Supergirl approaching the fleet at fast speed with her red cape flapping behind her. She was using the sun's glare to mask her approach. "Fuck me," W'Kabi realized. "Fire! Someone fire!" he shouted at his men.

Kara continued her approach even as the fleet began firing at her with purple laser beams. Kara expertly avoided their fire and swooped in low for her first pass. She fired heat vision at three destroyers blasting them apart completely with her heat vision right in front of W'Kabi's ship. Kara then blasted another destroyer to pieces for good measure as she went back up into the air.

"Retarget her!" W'Kabi ordered.

Kara blasted several more ships to scrap metal as she went for her second pass. The Wakanda ships fired back missing her each time. Kara targeted the flagship and destroyed it throwing W'Kabi into the water. Kara then made short work of the rest of the fleet blasting each of the ships with her heat vision. Once she was done, the entire Wakanda fleet was in ruins with thousands of sailors dead, on fire, or drowning.

Kara then went straight for the capital city. The city walls fired anti-aircraft Vibranium lasers at her missing every time. Anti-aircraft crews scrambled to supply the guns with Vibranium ammunition as they fired non-stop. Kara blasted the first gun and lighting the crew on fire. She proceeded to systematically take down each of the guns on the walls.

Meanwhile outside the city walls, Mon, Brainiac 5, and the European army kept their position in front of the Wakanda army. Neither side dared to move against the other. "This is boring as fuck," Mon remarked.

"Wait for it," Brainiac 5 assured him.

M'Baku looked around as he heard explosions in the distance. "What the fuck is going on?" he wondered.

Suddenly, the city walls exploded from the inside burying the Wakanda army in concrete debris. Hundreds were killed immediately where they stood as debris splattered them. M'Baku fell to the ground stunned by the blast. Kara flew through the hole she had made and began using her heat vision to fry the rest of the Wakanda army like a magnifying glass to ants.

Mon, Brainiac 5, and the European army flooded into the city with infantrymen, transport vehicles, and tanks. Brainiac 5 casually shot M'Baku dead as he tried to retreat back into the city. The European army fired on the Wakanda defenders easily slicing through the gaps in their armor. Tanks began leveling buildings and spreading out to avoid the bottleneck of the hole in the wall. Wakanda defenders fired back with their laser spears but were quickly overwhelmed by the larger European force. Kara continued to give the European army cover by blasting away at the anti-aircraft guns on the remaining walls. The surviving Wakanda troops outside the walls were incinerated to ash by Kara's heat vision.

Suri watched Kara fly around from the high tower in the city. Her fleet, army, a large section of her city walls, and all her anti-aircraft guns were gone. "My queen," Okoye addressed her.

"All we need is one lucky shot," Suri said frustrated.

"The anti-aircraft guns have all been destroyed. Perhaps, it was a serious design flaw to have them all positioned on the wall instead of in covert locations inside the city," Okoye reported.

"The fleet will take care of her," Suri said hopefully.

"The fleet is burning, the gates have been breached, the Mountain tribe is destroyed," Okoye told her.

"Our people will fight harder than those apes ever could," Suri replied. "They will defend their queen to the last man," she said confidently even as Kara was blasting away more wall defenses.

"Yes, my queen," Okoye relented.

"Wakanda has never fallen. It won't fall today," Suri said to her.

Mon and Brainiac 5 led the European army street-by-street killing any Wakanda defenders. Occasionally, one would come out of hiding for an ambush. Mon and Brainiac 5 both fired on them before they could take a shot. Finally, they came upon a large group of Wakanda defenders trapped and unable to move. They bravely stood their ground even as they were surrounded. In their right hand were their laser spears and in their left were energy shields. They huddled together tightly for defense.

Kara dropped down on a rooftop looking over both armies. Upon seeing Kara, they dropped their spears and gave up. Wakanda civilians shouted and shrieked to ring the city bells indicating their surrender and an end to the bloodshed. Kara listened intently to all the chatter. Suri eyed Kara with hate in her eyes from the tower knowing all was lost. Finally, the bells rang all over the city even without Suri's order. Kara eyed the tower in the distance knowing Suri was still there. She would not escape from her. In this moment of triumph, Kara felt a sense of relief but also an unyielding rage.

"Fuck them bells," Kara said softly.

Kara flew off the rooftop towards the tower. "Was this part of the plan?" Mon asked as Kara took off. Brainiac 5 merely shrugged. Kara eyed the fleeing civilians underneath her and then blasted a city block incinerating the buildings and civilians running in terror. Mon raised his eyebrows in surprise as Kara began slaughtering thousands of Wakanda civilians in hellfire. Brainiac 5 remained expressionless as usual.

Believing they had been tricked, the Wakanda defenders took up arms again to fight to the very last man. "Oh, shit," Mon realized as the air became full of laser fire and bullets. Mon stayed behind not finding it sporting to annihilate a weaker opponent. Brainiac 5 led the Europeans on a total massacre as the Wakanda defenders were slaughtered. Brainiac 5 would fire cables from his hands impaling several Wakanda defenders at once and quickly retract them. The fight became one-sided as Wakanda defenders had their faces blasted off or got shot up to the torso.

Instead of flying directly towards the tower, Kara blasted away each city block systematically to make sure she killed every single man, woman, and child in the area before going to the next block. Office buildings, apartments, and stores were blasted apart on impact. Kara used her breath to increase the range of the fires. Skyscrapers shattered and fell as they were hit with red beams of death. Suri eyed the genocide with total shock in her eyes. Her entire civilization was coming to an end. All because of a damn tweet.

Mon lazily killed any Wakanda defender able to reach him by breaking their necks or punching them to the chest. He eyed the European soldiers firing on everyone and anyone around them. When they ran out of ammunition, they resorted to blades. And, then, of course, the Europeans began to sexually assault the women and girls.

"Neat," Mon said sarcastically, feeling very uncomfortable with the situation at hand.

Kara finally made her way over to the tower after she had roasted the entire city. At this point, millions of civilians were dead. It was as if a nuke had been dropped on the city. Kara blasted the skyscrapers surrounding the tower to get Suri's attention. The towers fell and crumbled as they hit the ground.

"My queen, it isn't safe here," Okoye beseeched her.

Suri shed a tear as she saw her city in flames. "The tower is the safest place in the city."

"The Whites have breached the gates of the tower. Rwanda is a better place than here to wait out the storm," Okoye advised.

Suri began to cry but then agreed to take Okoye's hand out of the tower. Kara continued to harras the tower to mock Suri as she flew around. Okoye eventually got Suri down the stairs to the basement level where there would be tunnels to get out of the city. With her X-ray vision as a guide, Kara blasted the perimeter of the tower sealing the tunnels. When the dust settled, Okoye was injured from debris falling on her.

"You're hurt," Suri realized.

"Doesn't matter," Okoye told her.

The two went towards the tunnels only to find them sealed up with debris. Okoye put her pain aside and tried to dig out the rubble. As the tower shook, she realized it was futile. She came back to Suri and embraced her. "Wakanda forever," Okoye said to her.

Kara flew to the top of the tower and slammed through it. The tower collapsed around her and was completely destroyed. Okoye and Suri were instantly crushed by the collapsed tower. Satisfied they were dead, Kara continued to firebomb the rest of the city, destroying hospitals, schools, and anything else still standing.

Mon frowned as he saw Kara slaughter the defenseless city. "You know what? I've assessed the situation and I'm leaving," he said softly. He put two fingers to his forehead and disappeared from the battlefield.

Later that day, Kara stood at the foundations of the tower looking down at the European army assembled. Ash from the burning city rained down upon them like snow. The EU, British, and French flags were draped on what remained of the tower. Mon was at Kara's side, curious to hear Kara's speech. "You give me far too little credit," Kara smiled as the European army cheered for her.

"I have kept my promise to you. I killed the enemy in their Vibranium suits. I tore down their towers. I now give to you the five kingdoms of Wakanda. Their resources, their people, their land...is yours," Kara said to them in French.

The Europeans cheered appreciatively. "This land never experienced the whip of slavery, of colonialization, of globalization...until today," Kara continued in French. "But we come as liberators. You have freed these people from a tyrant that denied our vaccinations to her people. A tyrant that does not give minorities, homosexuals, and transfolk equal rights. A tyrant that gives special treatment to a false god," Kara said as she dismissively threw aside a metal cross she had found in the debris of a church she had blasted apart.

"But the war is not over. We will not lay down our weapons until we have liberated all the people of Africa from Egypt, to Morroco, to South Africa, and everything in between. Will you join me?" she asked them.

"Fuck yeah!" the European army shouted back.

Brainiac 5 casually approached Kara. "The city's population has been reduced by 95%," he reported.

"Do I hear a hint of disapproval?" Kara asked threateningly.

"None at all," Brainiac 5 said callously. "It's just you were sloppy to have allowed some to survive."

"The Europeans can take care of the survivors. I can't do everything for them," Kara said reasonably. Kara then eyed Mon standing at ease for her not making a word of protest. "Coordinate with the European commanders. Wipe them out. All of them," she ordered.

"As you wish," Brainiac 5 said taking his leave.

Kara then gestured to Mon to follow her. She looked upon the throne of Wakanda covered in dust in the ruined throne room. "It's a little disappointing," Kara remarked.

"I saw European soldiers killing Wakanda prisoners in the streets. They said they were acting on your orders," Mon accused.

"Well, duh," Kara said obviously.

"Have you taken time out of your busy schedule to see the burnt little children?" Mon asked.

"Tell me, Mon. How can you tell the difference between someone burnt and unburnt in this...place?" Kara sneered.

"I don't understand how you can enjoy this. These are pitiful opponents. There's no challenge," Mon pointed out.

"I won't hide behind small mercies. You said it yourself that you wanted to burn the place down," Kara reminded him.

"I was merely joking," Mon clarified.

"Well, I was joking when I said I stood for truth, justice, and the American way," Kara smirked. "The world I want can't be built by people like you who only want a decent challenge. I'm sorry I brought you here. I know now that my hobbies are not your hobbies," Kara allowed.

"What if this world chooses against you?" Mon asked.

"They don't get to choose," Kara said bluntly.

"It's just this all seems to be a little unexpected from you," Mon said dryly.

"Is it? I've clearly established that sometimes I get angry, lonely, and a little jealous. You know, all of this could have been prevented if you had just given me your dick, last night. You know how you playing hard to get puts me in a bad mood," Kara replied.

"So, what's next?" Mon asked curiously.

"We're going to dig up T'Challa's remains and put him on trial. The tombs of the Wakanda kings shall be looted and gutted until nothing remains. I don't want the world to even know this place even exists," Kara said ruthlessly.

Mon nodded and went over to her. "You will always be my queen, now and forever," he said giving her a kiss. The two passionately kissed in the throne room until Mon stabbed her through with a Kryptonite blade. Kara gave Mon a look of shock, sadness, and then resignation. Mon gently placed her on the floor as she bled out and died. Mon eyed her dead body with disbelief. He had slaughtered entire civilizations, destroyed worlds, and ruthlessly executed his enemies but what Kara had done to Wakanda had stirred him. His conscience could no longer bear these atrocities. At that moment, his heart grew three sizes. Kara had gone bat-shit insane and had to be put down, for the sake of this world.

Mon then sat on the Wakanda throne like a boss. Brainiac 5 decloaked and approached Mon. He gave Kara's dead body a brief look and then addressed Mon. "This world is yours and I am at your service," he told him.

Mon gave him a smug look. "You can start by terminating this program."

Brainiac 5 frowned at him. "What makes you think this is a program?" he asked him.

"You would have stopped me from killing her. You knew all about my Kryptonite blade. You left her side giving me the perfect opportunity to make the kill," Mon said.

"And what if I told you that Kara's death perfectly aligns with my plans?" Brainiac 5 asked him.

"You're going to restart the timeline," Mon ordered.

"Not this time," Brainiac 5 refused him.

"This isn't real," Mon said taking out a pistol and pointing it at his head.

"When you die, I will raise your children in the Brainiac way, of course," Brainiac 5 assured him.

Mon hesitated to pull the trigger and then eyed Kara's dead body. He then considered Mara, Kon, and Kameron. He stared at Brainiac 5 knowing what would happen if he were wrong. Sighing, he dropped his pistol. Brainiac 5 walked up to him. "Wise choice," he complimented.

"I'm going to need help explaining all this...to everyone," Mon said.

"You don't need to explain anything," Brainiac 5 said as he knife handed Mon's chest and evicted him from the Obsidian system. Mon disappeared into thin air. "Terminate Wakanda program," Brainiac 5 ordered. The simulation came to an end as everything dematerialized to black.

At the DEO, Kara and Brainiac 5 waited for Mon to wake up. Kara's eyes were groggy from being in the Obsidian program so long. "He passed albeit barely," Brainiac 5 informed her.

Kara handed him a twenty. Mon woke up and eyed the two of them. He peeled away the Obsidian lenses from his eyes feeling violated and pissed-off. "Why didn't you tell me it was a simulation?" he asked.

"I needed you to think it was real. It's not enough that you look like Superman. You have to be him, with all of his honor and integrity. If you're still just a murdering brute, you can't be him," Kara said.

"A test?" Mon assumed.

"Honestly, you should have stopped me earlier but it's a radical improvement. After all the civilizations and planets you've destroyed, why did you care about Wakanda?" Kara asked curiously.

"In my battles, the killings were from a distance, more abstract. When I saw you burn those people to death in front of me at that scale, I felt something," Mon admitted.

Kara and Brainiac 5 exchanged surprised looks. "Maybe, you'll be a hero, after all," Kara said optimistically.

"Maybe, huh?" Mon said as he got closer to her.

"Kara," Brainiac 5 alerted her.

Mon grabbed Kara and then the two instantly disappeared.

Kara suddenly found herself in Mon's Fortress of Solitude full of green glowing Kryptonite crystals. She immediately felt weak and sickly unable to stand. Mon grabbed a hold of her by the throat. "You do not put me, your king, to the test," Mon said to her as he slammed her back up against the cave wall.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it?" Kara taunted.

"We're staying here for as long as you kept me under," Mon said seriously.

"You can't be serious," Kara gave him a horrified look.

"You want me to conform to this pitiful world? You will conform to my Insane pride," he told her.

Mon watched over Kara as she denied what was happening to her as she grew weaker with each passing moment unable to reach the cave's exit. Then, she started cursing and screaming at him. When that didn't work, she attempted to bargain with him offering him anything he wanted. Finally, she began to cry as she became blind, lost all her hair, and became deathly pale.

"Mon, I'm sorry," she managed to say after an extended period of time.
