In the great state of Maine, Arthur and Mera lived in a humble house on the coast with a lighthouse. One day, Arthur came home a little more drunk than usual and sat down at the table. Mera handed him a plate as soon as he came in. "Lobster, my favorite," Arthur said pleased.

In front of him, Mera used an obnoxiously large knife to cut the bread. "So, how was work?" Arthur asked.

"Actually, I had a little trouble with some rebellious Atlantis lords," Mera said vaguely.

"Is that right?" Arthur asked hardly interested.

"Green beans," Mara said giving him some.

"No thank you," Arthur scoffed.

"Eat them," Mera ordered.

"Well, I hope everything works out...the way it should," Arthur said half-heartedly.

"It hasn't yet...but it will," she said menacingly.

Arthur proceeded to eat his lobster without utensils like a total savage bitting into it in large chunks. "How was Atlantic City?" Mera asked conversationally.

"Well, the boys and I did some gambling, went to strip clubs, got drunk-as-fuck, and then found ourselves with a tiger in our hotel room somehow," Arthur said. "At the end of it, some figures didn't add up."

"Well, at least you have your 650 million dollar movie deal," Mera said brightly.

"Yeah, I turned that down. I'm not going to be a slave to some producer for the next ten years. Fuck that," Arthur revealed.

Mera gave him an incredulous look and then suddenly snapped, throwing a wine bottle directly at him. Arthur put up his hand to deflect it when the wine bottle exploded sending glass shards all over his body. Arthur immediately summoned his trident to his hand ripping up the house as he did. Mera quickly retreated and burst all the pipes in the house. Arthur went through the halls of the house and found Mera in the stairwell. She summoned a ball of water in her hands and fired at him nearly hitting him. The ball of water blasted through the wall with the same force as a projectile. Mera continued to fire water streams into the wall nearly hitting Arthur each time.

"You still alive, baby?" Mera asked vengefully.

"Yeah, you got me. I'm so fucked," Arthur groaned as he lowered his trident to the floor.

As Mera moved closer down the stairs, Arthur fired on her with the trident blasting holes in the wall. Mera fired back forcing Arthur to retreat down the hall. In the living room, Arthur and Mera traded fire blasting up the room. Sensing the water in his body, Mera fired continuous streams of water at him nearly hitting him as he retreated. With large balls of water not working, Mera switched it up, firing thin water streams at Arthur in quick succession. Arthur took cover behind a refrigerator door as the kitchen was totally destroyed. Arthur threw his trident at Mera nearly hitting her as it pierced the wall.

"Your aim is as bad as your cooking," Arthur insulted.

Mera continued to fire at Arthur using all the water from the exploding faucets. Arthur summoned his trident back to his hand and fired a powerful blast at Mera forcing her to retreat. Arthur emerged from the flames and kicked Mera against the stairwell. She punched him to the gut in return. Arthur punched through the wall barely missing Mera's head. Mera elbowed Arthur to the head and slammed his drunk ass against the stove. Arthur slammed Mera against the wall and then threw her across the living room over the couch.

"Come on, honey. Come to daddy," Arthur antagonized.

Mera struck him hard with a vase stunning him, head-butted him, and then kicked him into the plate dresser destroying it. "Who's your daddy now?" Mera told him off.

Arthur and Mera wrestled to the floor with Mera eventually getting on top. She punched him to the face repeatedly until Arthur did a reversal on her. Arthur went to choke her ass out but Mera scratched at his face. Arthur picked her up off the ground and then slammed her into the grandfather clock destroying it. He then slammed her into a mirror. All the while, Mera slammed her elbows into his head and shoulders. Arthur eventually fell to the floor where Mera punched at him repeatedly. Arthur did a reversal on her again, got up, and then gave her a few good kicks to the gut as if he were playing soccer. Mera kicked him back to the groin dropping him to the floor.

Mera got up bleeding and roughed up. "I'll see you in court, asshole," she said and then left in a huff.

"Whatever, bitch," Arthur groaned from the floor.

Metropolis

In Metropolis, Mera and Arthur went to divorce court. The courtroom was packed with Mera's supporters on one side and Arthur's supporters on the other side. The gender balance of the two sides was what you would expect. Reporters were on the scene to report on the sensational trial. "The Honorable King Shark is presiding," the bailiff announced.

King Shark, dressed in black robes, took a seat above everyone as the judge in this case. "King Shark is a shark," he addressed the crowd. Everyone sat down as court proceedings began.

Mera took the stand first and gave her side of the story. "He would beat me, slap me, and abuse me quite frequently. He would threaten to kill me. He would always come home drunk or high. One time, he forced me to eat a horse's heart in some pagan ritual. He told me he would gladly have all the lords of Atlantis fuck me if it would make him king. I got pictures. No one should have to go through what I have," Mera said tearfully.

"Bullshit," Arthur muttered.

"King Shark is a shark," King Shark said sympathetically as he looked over the pictures, some of which were swimsuit model pics.

Arthur then took the stand. "This is horseshit. I mean, I have a beer every so often. What man doesn't? The truth is, Mera's kicked my ass several times. I'm not ashamed to admit it. This scar on my finger is having a wine bottle explode in my face. I can't take a bath without the fear of Mera drowning me. Eating a horse's heart has been part of my tribal tradition for thousands of years. I didn't force her to do it. And as for the Atlantis lords, she's already fucked every single one of them already. Also, FYI, she took a giant shit in my bed. No lie," Arthur said.

"King Shark is a shark?" King Shark asked surprised by that last part.

"I have a sample of it that I am entering into evidence," Arthur smirked.

"He's a lying piece-of-shit!" Mera spat. "I demand that he be canceled."

"I have a tape recording," Arthur said and then turned on a taped conversation. "I can't promise I won't get physical again. God, I fucking get so mad sometimes I lose it. I'm sorry that I hit you across the face in a proper slap, but I was hitting you, it was not punching you. Babe, you're not punched. I don't know what the motion of my actual hand was, but you're fine, I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you. You are such a baby. Grow the fuck up, Arthur," Mera said on the recording.

"I'm not a perfect man. I've made my share of mistakes but if I'm going to be canceled, she should, too," Arthur said passionately.

"King Shark is a shark," King Shark considered.

Shortly thereafter, Mon took to the podium in front of the Hall of Justice as Superman. "Due to recent allegations, I am suspending Justice League operations. The Hall of Justice will be closed until further notice," he began.

"What kind of allegations?" Kara asked.

"Glad you asked, Miss Danvers," Mon smiled. "Arthur is now considered a wife-beater and has been kicked out of the league."

"Will Mera be kicked out as well?" another reporter asked.

"Well, no," Mon said confused by the question.

"But she's just as guilty," the reporter said.

"Men are held to the highest standard, then children, and then women," he said showing a graph of three rectangles. "Plus, Mera is hot as hell."

"What other allegations?" Kara asked.

"The Flash is under investigation for assaulting a fan and it was on video. Also, the fan is female, so he's fucked. Cyborg's race-card accusations against our generous sponsors were found to be unfounded by an independent investigator. Wonder Woman is facing charges of kidnapping and rape from 1984. Apparently, the ghost of her dead boyfriend, Steve Trevor, took over the body of a very handsome man. She proceeded to have sex with him without his consent and risked his life on several occasions without remorse," Mon detailed.

"What about rumors you fathered two kids with your cousin, Supergirl?" another reporter asked.

"What? No...who told you that? That is completely false," Mon lied. "Everyone knows Supergirl is a lesbian and it's impossible for lesbians to have children with men."

Gotham

At Wayne Tower, Kara and Mera met in a conference room with Brainiac 5 acting as an image consultant. "This divorce case has hurt your public image, Mera. The public is still very skeptical that Supergirl is gay," Brainiac 5 said to the both of them. "As it happens, I have a solution that will help both of you."

"I'm all ears," Mera said.

"You two will be lesbian lovers until the election," Brainiac 5 said flatly.

"Wait...what?" Mera thought she misheard.

"Coming out as a gay will not only elevate your public profile but provide a shield from any further attacks from Aquaman's fanbase," Brainiac 5 said simply. "This will give Supergirl sufficient cover for why she hasn't been actively dating women. The two of you will be expected to be seen together in public, occasionally be affectionate, and make promises you both don't intend to keep."

"You can't be serious," Mera objected. "I'm the victim here."

"A significant portion of the population feels otherwise. This will help to reinvent your image. Shortly after the election, you two will split," Brainiac 5 said.

"You're using me as a trophy girlfriend to convince the public you're gay to manipulate the LGBT community into voting for Trump," Mera accused Kara.

"Yes...," Kara confirmed.

"This is corrupt as fuck," Mera said outraged.

"The alternative is an arranged marriage to the rightful king of Atlantis, Orm," Brainiac 5 said obviously.

"Fine, I'll do it," Mera agreed quickly.

"You may want to practice before announcing your relationship publicly," Brainiac 5 suggested.

Mera sighed and gave Kara an awkward look. The two got closer to each other and then gently kissed. "Excellent," Brainiac 5 approved.

In front of a church, Kara, Mera, and Brainiac 5 worked on a music video. Kara and Mera were both in costume for this while Brainiac 5 drones took care of the camera crew. "We will be shooting in front of the church, the park, down the street, the ocean, and your bedroom in Wayne Manor," Brainiac 5 informed Kara.

"What am I doing?" Mera asked.

"You will be involved in the chorus on the ocean," Brainiac 5 said.

"Okay, let's make this happen," Kara said as excited extras were put in position. The music started playing as Kara began the song for the music video with Mera standing off to the side.

Discrimination

It ain't right

I'm not straight, but if I was, I would want equal rights

I'm not straight, but if I were, I would say what I want

It's not fair - I'm not straight - that the government has a say

On who has a say (not straight)

Or to which god you can pray (I'm n'straight)

Mera gave Kara an odd look as the film crew moved to the nearby park for a generic straight wedding reception. Kara got into position in front of a groom and bride at a gazebo. She gave Brainiac 5 the thumbs up and filming continued.

It gets me so angry, on behalf of them, I feel passionate (not straight)

So I'll pray for them and I say for them, "We need to make a change" (not straight)

I see it clear as day

This area is not great, titties.

We need equality and for all to see that this is the new way (not straight)

It just seems (not straight) wrong (not straight)

That no one seems to care (sports)

We can't continue to pretend

This (not straight) madness has to end (not straight)

Kara put aside her bat and softball uniform for the next shot. "Alright, Mera, I need you to stay very still," Brainiac 5 instructed as the camera got a good cleavage shot. "That's for when I say 'tities'," Kara said helpfully.

"Do you really need me for this?" Mera questioned.

"It will be in the making of the video documentary," Kara told her.

A crowd of extra were formed up for the street with a gay pride flag and a Trump/Pence 2020 banner as well. Kara looked over the diverse group. "You ready to have some fun?" she asked the crowd.

They cheered and hooted enthusiastically. Kara then led the crowd down the street while she sang her next lines with the film crew in front of her.

How is it that I can have so much gay sex while dudes are oppressed (not straight)

For tweeting (not straight)

Or putting on a white hood (I assume)

I don't really know that much about it (beef jerky tastes good)

Politics are important

And if girls wanna have sex with me cause I said this, so be it (n'straight)

I'm not a hero, I'm just speaking the truth

I'm not a hero. Don't call me a hero

(Beer, hoagie, sweat pants, not straight)

Yeah, Not a hero (titties, not straight)

I'm not a hero

(I'm just a person)

So don't call me a hero

(Not some kind of world leader)

I just want free speech (Yeah)

And to sleep at night (Yeah)

Next to a girl

I'm not straight, I'm not straight

I'm not, not, not, not, n-n-n-not straight

I'm not straight

I was born this way (I'm gay)

You were born your way (You're straight)

Straight or gay, straight or gay, it's all okay

(And now it's time for Freedom of speech for all)

It's time to make a change (Freedom of speech for all)

It's time to stop the hate (Freedom of speech for all)

Cause who you are is beautiful (Freedom for speech for all)

(Not straight)

Brainiac 5 then motioned for a cut. "We'll be splicing stock footage randomly to mix it up," he told her.

"I trust you to know what you're doing," Kara said as she looked over the film.

"I'm sorry, do people have a right to say whatever the fuck they want without consequences?" Mera asked incredulously.

Kara and Brainiac 5 gave her an odd look. "Well...no," Kara replied.

"So...what is this?" Mera wondered.

"It's about playing the victim to gain sympathy," Kara said obviously.

"I have the film crew ready in Wayne Manor," Brainiac 5 said.

"I'll sign a bunch of autographs here and then I'll be right there. Mera, make your way to the coast for the chorus shot," Kara ordered.

"Okay," Mera said, uncertain with this.

At Wayne Manor, the bedroom was made dark, only lit by a few dozen candles. She took the pride flag and ten supermodels to be used as extras. "How's the lighting?" Kara asked concernedly.

"We're good," Brainiac 5 assured her.

Lying in bed next to ten beautiful girls (all gay)

And while I made love to every one of them

I was thinking about the world (hot wings)

Brainiac 5 motioned for a cut. "How is Mera's singing voice?" Kara asked as the film crew was moved.

"She's the best of Atlantis," Brainiac 5 said knowingly.

"Maybe I should go full gay and leave my husband and kids for Mera," Kara said on the verge of believing her own deception.

"Kara, focus," Brainiac 5 centered her.

"Alright, see you on the coast," Kara said as she flew off.

On the coast, Mera was waiting for her cue. "Action," Brainiac 5 said as Kara dropped in. Kara and Mera sang the chorus together while acting in a very sexy and seductive manner towards one another. Brainiac 5 made them do several takes to make certain it was believable.

I was born this way (Gay)

You were born your way (Straight)

Straight or gay, straight or gay, it's all okay (Sure)

It's time to make a change (Yes)

It's time to stop the hate (Uh)

Cause who you are is beautiful (Not straight)

Brainiac 5 then motioned for a cut. "That's a wrap," he said.

"Thanks, man. I know this will go a long way to advancing freedom," Kara said to him.

At Wayne Manor, Kara was ambushed by Alex and Mara at the same time in an intervention. "Kara, this madness has to stop. I know you're not gay or with Mera," Alex scolded.

"Well...no shit," Kara said obviously.

"You're using my people as a shield for your political bullshit. No self-respecting LGBT is going to vote for Trump because of this scheme," Alex predicted.

"But it could give some moderates some cover," Kara shrugged.

"Mera is just as much an abuser as Arthur. Why are you helping her?" Alex asked.

"I'm using her. There's a difference," Kara pointed out.

"This is going to blow up in your face," Alex told her.

"So what if it does? It's not like any of this matters anyway," Kara said dismissively.

"This...offends me," Alex said at a loss for words.

"You need to stop categorizing yourself by what group you belong to and see yourself as an individual," Kara lectured.

"This queer-baiting 101. I mean, imagine if a TV show baited the queer audience for years with a gay relationship that was never going to happen just for ratings. It's just another form of homophobia. It's wrong," Alex said.

"The LGBT community should be thankful for any scraps sent their way," Kara said rudely.

"By being a symbol for the LGBT, you're promoting their sinful error. Many will be lost because they will see you as an example to be followed. Your moral credibility in this time will be compromised," Mara said from her right.

Alex was about to object but then decided to let Mara continue her line of attack. "I never pretended to be a saint," Kara said defensively.

"You have the opportunity to impose a theocracy on this world in this country, in this time, if you provide moral leadership," Mara pressed.

"That's never going to work like before. In the future, there was a power vacuum that I was able to easily fill. I would have to sack all the governments of the world and crush all resistance," Kara said.

"Anyone that resists you deserves to be crushed," Mara said forcefully.

"This is a means to an end. Once the election is over, I'll drop the act," Kara assured her.

Mara gave her an uncertain look while Alex was clearly unconvinced. Kara got on a knee before Mara. "I need this win. If Trump loses, I lose. If they don't vote for Trump, they don't respect me. And if they don't respect me, how can they love me?"

Alex turned away dismayed at Kara's narcissism. "You cannot use evil to do good," Mara said softly. "But I understand."

"So, what's next on your agenda?" Alex asked irritably.

Kara got back to her feet. "You'll see," she smiled.

Charlotte, North Carolina

At the Republican National Convention, the stadium was completely filled with a hologram audience. Thousands of delegates and guests appeared as holograms inside the stadium courtesy of Brainiac 5's tech. On the stage was a giant Trump/Pence 2020 TV screen. The Superman theme played as Supergirl entered the stage. The hologram crowd cheered for her for as long as the theme continued. Kara waved to the crowd enjoying the moment. As the theme died down, the TV screen did a montage of President Trump in various settings.

Kara took the mic and began to sing perfectly as if she were a classically trained singer.

I close my eyes and I can see

A land that's waiting up for me

That I call my own (America)

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one's been before

But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I've lost my mind

I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy

We can live in a land that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what this land could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams are all it's gonna take

A million dreams for this land we're gonna make

For the America, we're gonna make

After she was done, the hologram crowd roared in applause. Even the media reporters were astounded. "I can't believe I am saying this but that was beautifully sung," Rachael Madow said stunned. As the song ended, President Trump and Vice President Pence came out and shook Kara's hand. "Like me, you can be an alien, female, and gay yet still vote for President Trump this November," Kara said to the cameras.

"So true," President Trump applauded her.

Metropolis

Alex stared at the TV completely dismayed. She noted that Brainiac 5 didn't bother to give his tech for the Democratic National Convention. "I have to say something. I have to do something," Alex said suddenly.

"No, you don't," Kelly said to calm her down.

"You don't get it. She got the mob to force the FBI to open Clinton's email case. We got four years of Trump because of her and all so that she could keep her job at Catco that was never in danger, to begin with," Alex raged.

"What do you plan to do?" Kelly asked concernedly.

"I'll do an interview, a tell-all book. Anything to stop her," Alex said as she frantically looked for answers.

"If you do that, Trump may still win and your relationship with your sister will be damaged beyond repair," Kelly warned.

"Fuck her," Alex spat. "The world is at stake."

"The world will keep going regardless of who wins," Kelly said. "Have faith that the nation won't fall for this scheme. Kara needs to face the consequences of her actions when her own plans turn against her."

"She never loses. She always gets her way," Alex said tearfully.

"Ask yourself what Kara wants the most, more than anything, more than Trump winning," Kelly advised.

Alex simply stared at Kelly knowing exactly what that was.

Kara came by Alex's apartment in civilians. "I got you some non-alcoholic wine," Kara said brightly.

"Thank you. You were great in Charlotte," Alex complimented.

"I know, right? I should have joined Glee in high school," Kara said thoughtfully.

"You did. You were kicked out the first day for making too many gay jokes," Alex reminded her.

"Damn, that's right," Kara recalled. "Where's Kelly?"

"She's not always here every night," Alex said vaguely.

"Okay, what's the topic of discussion?" Kara asked concernedly.

"I'm ready to go to the future with you. Let's go, right now," Alex said.

Kara stared at her, blinked, and continued to stare. "The fuck?" she wondered.

"I've been thinking it over and it's a great idea. You were right all along. Let's do it," Alex said.

"What about Kelly?" Kara asked confused.

"She totally understands. We had a long talk about it," Alex said.

Kara gave her an odd look as if trying to figure her out. "If we go, you won't be coming back. I can't risk your human body going back-and-forth through time."

"I completely understand," Alex said eagerly.

"Sure, after the election, of course," Kara agreed.

"No, now," Alex insisted.

Kara gave her a hard look. "You're bluffing."

"Take me to your ship and lock me in," Alex volunteered. "Do it before the election, and I'll do it. One time offer."

"I can convince you after the election," Kara stalled.

"No, I want Trump to lose, and you want me in your perfect future world. That's the bargain," Alex said seriously.

"Trump losing is more important than Kelly, your friends, your career, your life in this time?" Kara asked.

"I put my life on the line every time I suited up in the DEO. Every time I went out, I knew I might be forfeiting my life. It's a small price to pay," Alex said passionately.

Kara gave her a dumbfounded look. "It's just a game," she muttered.

"The whole world is at stake. I know you feel that's bullshit, but it's what I believe. And it's not because I'm gay or a woman," Alex said. "This is as important to me as it is important to you to have me go with you."

"I...can't," Kara stammered.

"Why the fuck not?" Alex asked.

"Jeremiah would never agree to leave until after the election. You see...he feels the same way...in the opposite direction," Kara told her.

"Then, let him stay in this time," Alex said frustrated.

"I can't do that," Kara said softly.

Alex then realized the truth. "Okay, so all this time, protecting me was just to please him. Even when he was gone, that's why you looked after me like a hawk. So, it wasn't about me. It was about following orders."

"That's not...," Kara shook her head conflicted.

"You won't take my deal because my father would reject it," Alex summarized.

"It's my fault. Put all the blame on me. I'm the one that wants Trump to win more than have you in the future," Kara lied.

"Bullshit. I get it now," Alex said angrily. "I have no leverage against you. You only care about me because of him. I can't make you do a fucking thing unless he agrees," Alex realized.

"You were bluffing the whole time with me now, so you can take that self-righteous attitude and shove it up your ass," Kara told her off. "Not in a thousand years would you abandon Kelly. You two schemed this plan together. Here's what's going to happen. Trump will win, I will have my right-wing utopia, and in total despair, you're going to agree to come with me to the future. I will wreck this world until you have no choice," Kara said angrily.

Alex shook her head totally dismayed. "I never lose," Kara said as she left.

Author's Notes: I'm putting out more bonus episodes than usual because I'm honestly running out of time with this series. Also, the Luthor plotline is of very little concern to the Superfamily at this point. You may recall that Supergirl falsely came out as gay in Season 5 and that's continuing here. The Depp-Heard controversy and some of the IRL and IC issues around the Justice League were featured. Kara's first song comes from Lonely Island and the second song comes from Pink, both songs have Pink being involved. I feel I've made my opinion on queer-baiting known in many episodes but this was a more blunt way of pointing it out. I try to follow Poe's law where it's impossible to decipher parody from extremism.
