HALLEY'S P. O. V

My hands were still handcuffed to the stretcher, the marks of burns in my skin because of the kryptonite, but I just closed my eyes again without having strength to try and pull my hands away.

"Good morning, Kryptonian" his voice made me open my eyes again, my gaze focusing on the ceiling without wanting to look at him. "You're still not telling me your name?" he asked, but I didn't even answer. "Well, I think I should take a guess... How about Halley?" he smirked as I looked at him kind of confused. "You didn't expect that, huh? You're DNA is the same as Supergirl's cousin" he told me. "You're from the future from what I see, isn't that right?" he questioned, but I didn't answer anything. "No answering, that's that I'm right, so What happens if you die in this time?" he looked directly into my eyes. "Answer me this question, Will I success?"

"I can't tell you that" I answered looking away.

"Finally talking" he smiled. "Now, come on" he said while taking off the handcuffs, obligating me to get up from the stretcher.

He made sure that two agents were holding my arms to take me to a different room, kind of a training room, Red Daughter standing there in her suit.

I frowned while observing her as she was doing the same with me, but I just shook my head before returning my attention to Lex Luthor, who was sitting there with a smirked on his face.

"You two are here to train each other, I want to see your best moves" he explained as both of us just stared at him without moving.

"Why?" I asked, not understanding what would be his interest about training me.

"Because you will help me to get this mission done" he answered approaching me, so I looked away for a few seconds.

"Why would I do that? What will happen to me after that?" I questioned, knowing that once everything was over, he wouldn't hesitate to kill me.

"I think you know that answer" he responded looking directly into my eyes.

"So what if I choose that second option, we both know that I won't help you" I told him, observing how he smiled slightly.

"Oh, you're so quiet as a child, and now you don't stop talking back, amazing" he commented with a grin. "However, I didn't gave you two options, I gave you one and believe me, you will end up helping me" he told me grabbing my chin to look up at him. "Now I want to see you two fighting, come on, we don't have all day!" he shouted as I closed my eyes, only to open them again and locking my gaze with Red Daughter's.

We both looked at each other for a few seconds before she threw the first punch, which I was able to stop, only to do it myself, punching her.

That was a fight for survival, it was obvious that Red Daughter was stronger than me, but that didn't stop me, getting up from the floor every time I fell.

Blood was streaming down from my face and mouth, my knuckles red with a little of blood from the punching. However, my legs were starting to fail me, my knees bending after every blow, which was starting to difficult to stay fighting on alert.

The pain that was flooding all over my body was making me lose concentration, not even stopping her the last times she hit me, but defending myself when she did use of her heat vision, using mine as well.

I got up from the floor after Red Daughter had thrown me against a wall, everything dizzy around me. I was exhausted.

My hands barely holding hers trying to stop her, tears streaming down my cheeks not being able to use my whole strength. So I couldn't stop her when her fist hit my chin, knocking me out.

KARA'S P. O. V

It had been just a few minutes since she had learnt that Red Daughter had been observing her, studying her, which had managed to scared her.

All the pictures of herself with her friends and family that were at that room, they made her whole body shiver.

She caressed her baby cousin's face with her fingertips. She had hoped for Halley to be there at Kaznia, but it was obvious that Lex wasn't going to make it so easy.

Her attention was drawn to a screen, frowning while observing the images. Halley. All of that had been perfectly planned by Lex Luthor.

Her cousin was laying on a stretcher, right beside her that woman that looked exactly like her, Red Daughter, who was embracing the child tightly while caressing her dark brown hair as if she was trying to calm down Halley.

She clunch her fists, that should be her, promising to her baby cousin that everything would be alright and that not matter what happened, she would alway be by her side.

Halley smiled a little when the other Kryptonian tickled her, trying to remove her hands, but ended up laughing out loud before hugging Red Daughter, her face buried on her shoulder. However, she could find tears in her cousin's eyes when she pulled away, which broke her heart, wishing she could listen to what they were saying.

The image ended there as she felt her own tears being contained in her eyes, but focusing on a new image, that time Red Daughter and teen Halley involved in a fight.

She held her breath after observing the punch that went directly to Halley's face, blood pouring from her mouth, but the teen didn't stop fighting, getting up after every fall. Halley was a fighter, a warrior, not showing how hurt she was, it didn't matter, she was taught to die fighting.

She brought her hands to her face when Halley fell to the floor unconscious, not moving even a little, and she wasn't sure if even the teenager was breathing. She watched how Red Daughter let herself fall to the floor, kneeling beside the teen, shaking Halley a little, but her cousin stayed still, unconscious.

The tears that she had tried to contain were streaming down her cheeks, Halley couldn't be dead, she needed to have hope that everything would be alright, that both of them would be safe as soon as possible and she wouldn't rest until that would happen.

HALLEY'S P. O. V

My whole body hurt, it was a horrible feeling, my eyes being too heavy to open them to find where I was.

I did it slowly, blinking at the big amount of light, but distinguishing a person sitting at the edge of the bed. Red Daughter was there, observing me.

"How are you feeling?" she asked as I looked at her. "I'm sorry" she apologized.

"Why? I mean, you're supposed to kill Supergirl, what's wrong with doing the same with me?" I asked as she looked away.

"Killing Supergirl is a mission, but there is no reason to kill you" she answered.

"Well, he's going to do it anyway" I muttered, finding surprise in her face. "He hates us, kryptonians, he's not what you think" I told her.

"You're lying" she sat up upset.

"I'm not, he will betray you" I answered back, but she just shook her head, she was as stubborn as Kara.

We both remained in silence, not even looking at each other as she seemed to be deeply thinking about something.

"Linda" I called her, getting her to look at me confused.

"How do you know my name? Alex is right, you're from the future" she realized before observing me for a few more seconds. "Halley" she whispered reaching to my face.

"I need you to do something for me, please" I asked her as she brushed my hair away from my face. "I need you to take her somewhere safe."

"Halley?" she asked confused to what I nodded. "Why?"

"You want to protect her, right? It's the only way" I told her observing how she frowned. "You couldn't protect him, but you can protect her" I stared directly into her eyes, which were filled with tears.

Red Daughter didn't answer anything, she just wiped her tears before rushing out of the room, leaving me alone again.

Linda was the only person that truly worried about me while I was staying there, the only one who would spent hours just trying to make me feel better whenever I was missing my cousin or even after every single session with Lex, in which he tested all my abilities until I couldn't even breath.

I considered her a friend, someone I knew I could trust and I still remembered the moment I learnt about her death, it was truly devastating.

At that moment part of me wished for her to believe me when I told her that Lex would betray her, so she would join Supergirl in the fight, but I knew that it wasn't going to, so at least I hoped that she would take my younger self from there before it was too late.

LITTLE HALLEY'S P. O. V

Lex was taking off the electrodes that were on her chest and forehead when Linda walked inside the room, a small smiled forming on her face when the Kryptonian smiled at her.

"Didn't I told you to go somewhere?" Lex asked.

"Yes, but I was thinking that if we want her to trust me, I should take her" Linda answered while pointing at her.

"How do I know she will be back here?" he questioned.

"I will bring her back" Linda assured approaching her, picking her up from the stretcher.

Lex sighed before nodding, so Linda didn't waste any more time before leaving that place as she was looking at her kind of confused, Where was she taking her?

When the Kryptonian leaped to the sky, she held herself with her arms around the woman's neck, being too weak to even try by herself.

She was surprised when Linda landed in front of Eliza's house, leaving her on the ground before using her superspeed to change herself in normal clothes, looking exactly as Kara, and grabbing her hand to led her to the front door as she tried to understand what they were doing there. Was her cousin inside? She hoped for that, she really wanted to see Kara.

"Kara?" Eliza asked while opening the door. "Halley, hey" the woman smiled, so didn't hesitate to get rid of Linda's grip to hug Eliza. "I was so worried, you weren't answering your sister's calls, I'm glad you're both safe" Alex's mom pulled both of them into a hug as she stared at Linda.

Why was she pretending to be Kara? She was about to asked when the older Kryptonian made her a sign for her not to say anything about it, so she remained silent still confused, getting herself away from Linda as she wasn't fully trusting her at that moment.

"Come on inside, I bet you're both hungry" Eliza commented with a slight smile while grabbing her hand and walking inside the house. "You okay, sweetie?" the woman asked after she walked away from Linda.

"Yeah, Can I have cookies?" she asked with a smile.

"Sure, sweetheart" Eliza answered ruffling her hair. "What about you, Kara? Chocolate pecan pie?" the woman asked.

"Sounds fine" Linda answered.

Eliza left them at the living room to go to the kitchen, so she was about to follow her, but feeling a firm grip on her shoulder, so she turned around.

"Not a word, okay?, Not yet" Linda told her more serious than she had ever seen her, so she nodded. "Good, now let's try that pie" the older Kryptonian commented walking to the kitchen.

She stood there for a few more seconds not understanding what was going on, but knowing that it was for the best that she didn't say anything about it.

Hi!

Teen Halley influenced in Red Daughter, she managed to get her to take her younger self out of there. However, everything little Halley is about to live will probably end her friendship with Linda and may cause her some trauma as well.
