Chapter 2 Reign
It had been a month since Kara and Alex returned from Barry and Iris's wedding, and a month since Kiara Wagner came to National City. To say having overgirl around was a weird thing was an understatement to say the least. Everyone kept confusing her with Kara, which annoyed the two Kryptonians. Winn, Jimmy, and Mon El where still very suspicious of Kiara, and where looking at anything she did just waiting for an excuse to take her down. Alex, Imra and J'onn were indifferent to having her around, and surprisingly Kara was starting to enjoy having her doppelganger around. Lena and Diana on the other hand embraced Kiara with open arms Lena would insist having her join them for their lunches to get to know her and surprisingly Kiara enjoyed talking and spending time with Lena some would even say the two where friends. However as excepting as Lena was of her Diana's reaction was the most positive. Kiara had been living with Diana for almost three weeks at this point, and when ever Kara would go and check up on the two it always surprised her at how domestic the two looked. They were having weekly movie night, cooking for each other, and a slew of other things. To the average person it almost seemed like the two were dating, but both denied this claim repeatedly. However both Kara and Alex could see right through the denials mainly because Kiara for all the bravado, and rough exterior the former overgirl was she still had Kara's nervous quos which gave it away the kryptonian had feelings for wonder woman. Even more surprising was when Alex and Kara confronted Diana about it she denied it, but she also physically gave away that she to had feelings for Kiara acting very un wonder woman like when they confronted her about. Other then than the romantic tension between Diana and Kiara and the miss trust of certain members of the team life was going great at the moment, but unfortunately nothing lasts forever.
Over the past few days there was a string off gruesome murders of members of the criminal underworld, and the assailant left behind a symbol that almost looked Kryptonian so off course jimmy and Mon El accused Kiara of doing the killing even after Diana vouched for her almost causing a fight between the boys and Diana and Overgirl which everyone knew Jimmy and Mon El would end up in the emergency room severely broken, and as much as they may deserve it for how they are behaving right now the cooler minds in the room separated the groups to prevent a violent conflict. With Kiara exonerated no one new who it could be or what their motive was for the gruesome killings.
Across town at the L Corp tower in downtown National City Lena is performing the less then glamorous aspect of her CEO duties looking over what seemed like an endless stack of reports when she hears her office door open and looks up to see her COO Samantha Arias walking towards her desk and addresses her "Lena I did not expect to see you hear today. I thought you were going to be focusing on Catco." Lena smirked at her friend giving her a nod " yah, but its been a while since I have been here and I decided Olsen can have the reigns of Catco today and I would spend some time working here today." Samantha nodded "well you didn't have to I had everything under control …" Lena put her hand up to stop her friend and spoke " Sam listen my being here is not a reflection on you or anyone else I wanted to be here and to be honest I missed being here a little so don't sweat it." At this Samantha relaxed and responded "okay" then motioned to leave before she turned around again "Lena?" causing Lena to look up at her again "Kara is throwing the Christmas party at her apartment tonight right?" Lena then nodded affirmatively. Sam nodded "okay then me and ruby will see you their." Lena then smiled " see you two tonight then." Lena went back to her Mount Everest of reports and Sam went back to back to her office to get some more work done before tonight.
Kara's Christmas party was in full swing everyone was in attendance. Lena, Alex, and Maggie where the first to arrive at Kara's apartment followed by Winn, Jimmy, Mon El, and Imra. J'onn and his father had arrived a few minutes after that. Ruby and Sam then arrived mainly because Sam forgot to pick up the cookie platters she promised. Notably absent from the party was Diana, and a few of the crowd took notice of the notable absence. One of those to notice the Amazons absence was Lena who then went to go ask Kara if she knew where Diana was. Lena made her way to Kara who was in the kitchen setting out the food and the drinks and asks her the question "Kara?" Kara looks up to see Lena called her "Is Diana not going to come or is she just running fashionably late." Kara smirked at the last part of Lena's statement then responded " I have no idea Lena I told Diana that she was off course invited, and that she should bring Kiara with her. She did say that she would run it by Kiara, and if she said yes then they would both be here." Lena nodded at Kara's statement " Well it looks like Kiara said no to coming." Then Lena turned to look at a group of their friends and spoke again " Can you blame her though?" Kara looked towards were Lena was looking, and saw she was looking at Mon El and Winn." It was no secret that Mon El and Winn still did not trust Kiara and did anything and everything they could to treat her badly and at one point Kiara almost lobotomized Mon El, and Lena did have a point why would she want to come many of them had excepted her Jimmy tolerated her now which is better then when she had first arrived it was just Mon El and Winn who were poisoning the well. Kara and Lena decided to continue their conversation when they heard a knock on the door, and both saw Alex go to answer the door wondering whom it could be. Alex answered the door and after a few seconds both Diana and Kiara had walked into the room causing all the heads in the room to turn for different reasons. Like fully expected Winn and Mon El did not seem at all happy about the pairs presence, Kara, Lena, and even Alex where happy to see the duo had decided to come to the party, and everyone else in the room where stunned by how radiant both women look. Diana was dress in backless bright red dress showing the right amount of cleavage to make any man warm, and by the look on Maggie's face some women as well. Kiara was dress in a black and crimson strapless dress both dresses left nothing to a person's imagination.
The party was in full swing Kiara saw Diana was talking with Alex, Maggie, and Samantha's daughter Ruby. Kiara turned to the other side of the room and saw Lena, Kara, and Samantha having a conversation so she decided to go and talk with them. Kiara made her way to the counter where Kara and the other two women are having a very emotional conversation by the sound of it so she waited for them to finish before she interjected herself. Lena was the first to notice Kiara had walked towards them, and acknowledged her "Kiara would you like to join us?" she nodded at Lena who then motioned her to sit next to Sam, and with that Kiara went to where she was directed to, and the four began to have a conversation. The women had been talking for almost an hour when Sam noticed Lena's gaze so she turned around, and saw that she was staring at none other then Jimmy Olsen. So Sam decided she wanted to have some fun "Lena you know if you really wanted to you could pull James Olsen under the mistletoe." At hearing this Lena turned to Sam wide eyed and Lena responded a little flustered by the comment "James don't be ridiculous." By this point Kara and Kiara looked between Lena and James causing Sam to continue "I mean I think he likes you Lena." Lena could not believe this "I am his boss." Sam countered, "Yes because that has never happened before." Then Kara chimed in and what Kara said caught Kiara by surprise " well if I am honest I have been noticing chemistry between you to for a while now." That statement caused Kiara to choke on her drink. She could not believe it Kiara had suspected for a while no even before she came into the picture Kara had feelings for Lena in some capacity, but most likely romantically, and here she is telling Lena that there is some none existent chemistry between her and Jimmy Olsen. So Kiara needed to help her doppelganger from herself "Kara what paint thinners are you sniffing right there is more chemistry between you and Lena then there is between jimmy and Lena." This caused the other three women to turn around, and Kiara can see the look on Kara's face, which all but conformed her suspicions that Kara cared for Lena romantically, but looking at Lena it looked like the CEO had some feelings for Kara as well." Kiara smiled and internally said my work here is done.
After that conversation the party started to whine down Sam and Lena bid Kara and Kiara good night and left. After they did Kara pulled Kiara to the side and spoke to her "what the hell was that earlier. Jimmy and Lena would be perfect together. What you said was just rude." Kiara smirked because she realizes Kara does not see what is right in front of her "Kara I did you a favor I know deep down you have feelings for Lena, and for the life of me I don't know why you would point her in the direction of Jimmy Olsen when she can do so much better then he can. Look me in the eye and tell me you don't have feelings for Lena Luther." Kiara smirked because a s fully expected Kara remained silent "I thought so. You should be thanking me because I just stopped you from pushing the women you love away to a guy that is unworthy to even be near her." Kara then looked right at Kiara and decided to fire back at her "so you must be an expert because I don't see you and Diana in a relationship yet." Kiara laughed and then retorted "look I am not going to pretend that I don't have feelings for Diana, and dare I say she may return those feelings. That being said I care a great deal for Diana so fights for truth and justice and protects everyone no matter your race, religion, sexual orientation and anything I missed she does it because it's the right thing to do, and up until a little over a month ago I was fighting to exterminate some of these groups persecuting billions because they did not fit in. Diana does not deserve that she deserves someone better then I could ever be that's why I can tell you right now you and Lena are perfect for each other, and you should jump on it before someone like Jimmy tries to take her from you." Kara was shocked by how genuine her doppelganger was she truly cared for Diana, and by the sounds would do anything for her. Both women heard footsteps coming up behind them and turned to see Diana walk up to them and address Kiara "are you ready to go?" to this Kiara just nodded and said by to Kara. As Diana and Kiara walked out the door Alex and Kara and Maggie where standing in the door way saying by to the pair. Kiara and Diana turned and started walking to the elevator when Kiara heard Kara call her causing her to turn "Kiara you deserve to be happy to despite what you did in the past." That statement made Kiara chuckle and once again bid the three good night.
It had been a week since the Christmas party, and everything was back to normal. The problem was finding out who was committing the murder across National City. The police and DEO had little to no evidence except the symbol that is left behind at all the crime scenes, but other then that nothing. The question that everyone was asking himself or herself is how does something so powerful just disappear after it commits the crime. Kara had decided that she was done letting people die even if they are criminals they did not deserve to die in the manor in which they were. So Kara against the advice of a few of her teammates decided to call this mystery assailant out and get to the bottom of this now before more innocent people get hurt in the cross fire. So Kara goes to the roof of Catco and burns her family symbol into the ground hoping it would entice the vigilantly to show themselves. It took a few days, but the gamble paid off Kara was on the roof of Catco when a figure clad in black landed on the roof in front of her. Kara sized up the figure in front of her wearing a black suit and cape; raven black hair, and a black mask over her face. After her look over of her opponent Kara then addressed the unknown figure " So, are you supposed to be the devil?" The dark figure smirked and responded, "the devil doesn't exist." Kara spoke again " then who are you?' The figure responded quickly " I am from the time before fathoming. Born to cleanse the scourge and deliver the awakening. I am Reign." Kara unfazed by the statement of Reign "How did you get here?" again Reign responded, "I survived Krypton's death, and sent here upon its destruction." Kara was now perplexed by Reigns statement "If that's true where have you been?" Reign once again smirked at the question "dispensing justice …" Kara interrupted Reign "by terrorizing people killing people?" Reign smirked and then turned to the city and spoke once more " This world has sunken into chaos and sin to many have eluded judgment." Kara stepped forward having heard enough " I am not going to let you hurt any one else. Surrender now before I make you surrender." Reign gave a sadistic smirk at supergirl's bravado, and she to stepped toward her advisory " So, full of hubris just like the righteous Kryptonians who feared my makers. Worshipping false gods as they watched are planet suffocate by shame and burn from memory. Stand down or I will make you join them in their purgatory." Kara did not back down from Reign " I am not going anywhere." Reign quickly sized up her opponent "then I will dispense my justice on you." Kara unyielding "give it your best shot." And as soon as the words came out of her mouth reign without warning flew right at Kara and tackled her flying threw the sky.
A few blocks away Diana was on her way to help Kara fight the unknown advisory. Alex had called her worried about her sister, and asked if Diana would go and back Kara up if she needed it so Diana suited up in her wonder woman outfit and sped away on her motorcycle. A block away from the Catco building Diana saw from the roof the beginning of the brawl as Kara was tackled threw the air by her opponent crashing into the top floor of one of the near by skyscrapers, and after a few minutes later the two Kryptonians flew out the top of the building and what looked like away. Diana arrived at Catco to find Alex and a group of DEO agents armed to the teeth. Alex goes to Diana and tells "We are tracking both of them and its seems they are fighting over the ocean right now …" before Alex could finish her statement both she and Diana heard a loud crash in the middle of the street. Seeing the Kara and Reign had both crash-landed and continued the brawl. Immediately Diana went into action telling Alex to clear the area of civilians, and then she turned to run and help Kara fight. When Diana had arrived she was stunned for the first time in the time she had known Kara she had never seen the Kryptonian bleed, and yet right in front of her was a Supergirl bruised, bloody and unconscious. Diana then turned to Reign and saw the villain charging a heat ray blast aimed at ending Kara's life so Diana jumped into action.
Reign was about to finish Supergirl with the full force of her heat ray. When she fired the deathblow sure of the other Kryptonians death. Reign held her position with an evil smirk on her face, but her smirk turned to a scowl when the light of the heat attack dissipated and standing in front of Supergirl in a protective stance was Wonder Women." Reign was briefly impressed by the bravery of the women in front of her "your brave human, but foolish stand aside and let me finish with her now." Diana drew her sword, and took a battle stance ready to fight and told her opponent "If you want to kill her you have to go through me." Reign smirked at the comment "very well" as she said that Reign charged Wonder Woman. Diana expected this and once Reign was in range Diana used her bracelets to deliver a powerful blast catching Reign off guard and launching her down the street. Diana knew that if she wanted to win she needed to stay on Reign so she grabbed her lasso and threw it catching one of Reigns legs and with that she pulled the rope and started to turn pulling Reign and smashing her into everything within the radius and released her once again sending her crashing down the street. Reign was stunned she had dispatched Supergirl with relative ease, but this other opponent had delivered some significant hits to her, but as Reign turned around to engage her the amazon is on her again as she puts her shield right in her chest launching her in the air and then hitting her with the shield again in the back sending into the ground again. Diana then picked up Reign and delivered a hellacious spinning kick to the chest of the Kryptonian sending into careening into the building right next to them. Diana once again went for the lasso and once again caught Reign, but this time Reign was expecting it, and before Diana could continue Reign gave a massive pull on the lasso pulling Diana off her feet towards her hitting her with a powerful knee right to her chest dropping Diana to her knees and Reign followed it up with a thunderous punch to the side of the Amazons face launching her into a car. Diana was winded and disoriented by the two shots from the alien, but barely had time to compos herself when she sees a car flying right at her so she rolls off the car just in time to avoid the other car crushing her. Diana then grabbed her sword just as another car was coming right at her and cut the other car in half.
Kiara was at her shared apartment with Diana waiting for Diana to arrive. She could no longer deny that she had romantic feelings for Diana stronger then her feelings for her now deceased Oliver she did not know what it was about the women, but it just felt so natural interacting with her and she could not remember a moment when she was with Diana and she was not happy. Kiara was worried however because usually Diana would be home right now unless she was helping Kara save the city. Kiara tried to reach the DEO, she tried to call Alex, Kara, and Diana herself, but no one answered her making her even more worried. Kiara turned on the news and went to go change into her sleeping attire. When she walked back out of her bedroom she noticed a breaking news report on the TV and turned up the volume of the TV and listened at the report "Ladies and gentleman we have some urgent news coming out of downtown." After a few seconds the feed turned over to the on the ground reporter. "Supergirl and an unknown assailant began and destructive fight in Downtown. It seems that Supergirl has been severely injured." Hearing that Kiara was stunned what think on earth other then kryptonite can hurt a Kryptonian severely. She then looks back to the screen in time to see the camera show Diana fighting the figure, and her heart almost jumped out of her body because of the fear she felt Diana was fighting against a being that took down a Kryptonian. Kiara then went to her room pulling a box out and putting it on her bed. Kiara knew if she does what she is about to do will not go over well with most of the DEO squad, but Diana needed her and she would be damned if she let Diana get hurt before she found out what these feelings are for Diana so she would deal with the consequences later, and she opened the box, and stares down at her Overgirl suit.
Back in downtown Diana and Reign where still fighting tooth and nail. Both delivering hits to the other, but the ware and tear of the fight was starting to catch up with Diana, and she was starting to slow something that did not go unnoticed by Reign. Reign decided to make her move and Diana charged her Reign dodged the attack and before Diana could react Reign used her heat vision on the top of the building Diana collapsing the top few floors onto Diana shocking everybody watching. Back at the DEO Lena and everyone was watching in shock and horror, as it seemed that Reign had defeated both Supergirl and Wonder Woman in the span of an hour something that was thought unthinkable. As the dust cleared Diana was visible, but one of her legs was pinned beneath the rubble, and was in a defenseless position. Diana tried to reach her sword, but just couldn't, and then looked up to see Reign standing over her with a car in her hands smirking " You fought well better then supergirl, but alas like her you have fallen, and now you will pay the ultimate price for standing in the way of justice." Everyone looked on in horror, as there was nothing they could do to stop Reign from killing Wonder Women. Alex was being restrained by Maggie who had joined her their with the police for crowd control and a few DEO agents from charging into a situation where she was sure to lose her life. OS they looked on helplessly. Then the sound of a sonic boom was heard in the distance this usually heralding the arriving of Kara, and she prayed for Diana's sake that it was who she thought it was. The sonic boom also caught Reign's attention, but before she could react she takes a huge hit to the side and is once again seen flying. Diana who was preparing for the inevitable opened her eyes in surprise as the inevitable never came, but when she looked up to see what had happened she was left stunned as she imagined everyone at the DEO would be standing before her hovering of the ground was Overgirl and it was she that had saved her life. Alex and Maggie looked on Maggie was stunned because she had only heard of what overgirl could do but had never seen, and Alex was relieved that Kiara had come to save Diana, but also Alex knew to an extent that Kiara loved Diana, and Kiara is anything like Kara when it comes to the people she loves reign was going to be in trouble.
