Chapter 3 Reign part 2
Reign emerged from the rubble of the building that collapsed on her after she took that hit, and when she saw what had hit her she was stunned when before her was a figure in a black custom and red cape with a black mask covering her whole face. To Reign this new figure almost looked like a darker version of Supergirl, but with more power. At the DEO headquarters the emotions where the same as everyone else shocked, but quickly for a few of the group they went postal for one in particular "I thought we told her that she could never be overgirl again" Mon El said angrily at J'onn. J'onn turned to him "yes we did, but I for one am glad that she did because she probably just saved Kara and Diana's life right now, and lets not forget she is more powerful then Kara so she may stand a better chance against Reign. So at this moment I am thankful that she decided to fight." Mon El could not believe this, and even more unbelievable is that everyone agreed with J'onn that overgirl-fighting Reign is a good idea.
Back in downtown Kiara turns to Wonder Woman and immediately frees Diana's leg from the rubble. Kiara sees the state of Diana's leg with the bone sticking out of the skin, and this saddened Kiara because she was not quick enough to protect Diana and she was in pain, but it also enraged her that any being would dare to hurt Diana and cause her pain thinking they can get away with it. Kiara looked over and saw that reign was still down, but she knew that would not last for to long so she wanted to get Diana out of harms way so she picks up the amazon bridal style holding her protectively against her and flew her to where Alex and Maggie were. Diana looked to face Kiara and smirked for once it was she that was being rescued by someone else, but another feeling overcame Diana in this moment, and it's a feeling Diana had not felt in a century she felt safe in the arms of Kiara a feeling she had not felt since the last time she was in Steve's arms. Diana also felt something that she thought she would never feel again since Steve's death and that was love for the first time in a long time Diana actually felt love, and if she was being honest to her self she to felt the same thing for Kiara she had come to care for these last few weeks, and had grown to truly love her in a romantic way. Diana knew this was not the place to discuss this, but she knew that they needed to discuss this later. Kiara landed in front of Alex and Maggie and she called Alex over. Alex reached them and Kiara handed Diana over to Alex and saw the state of Diana's leg knowing it needed immediate attention. Maggie and another DEO agent took Diana from Alex and Kiara take her back to the DEO. Kiara then turned to Alex and asked about Kara " How is Supergirl?" Alex shuck her head " we rushed her back to the DEO, but she was in pretty rough shape." Alex said with a fear in her voice. Kiara tried to comfort the older Danvers " she will be okay Alex she is to stubborn to die." Alex nodded her head Kiara was right Kara was too stubborn to die after one bad beat, but that did not stop her from being afraid. Alex had a question on her mind after what she just saw "so you really love Diana don't you?" Kiara looked back at the older Danvers " you have no idea." Kiara heard a rumbling noise which could only mean Reign was about to pop up again, but she needed to ask Alex something so she took off her mask to look Alex straight in the eyes " Alex I need you to promise me that will be okay when I get their." Alex had never seen Kiara Wagner so emotional ever, and it was all because of Diana Prince. Alex knew Kiara needed Diana to be okay so she nodded at the Kryptonian, and with that Kiara dawned her mask again just in time for reign to break free of the rubble and land on the street
Overgirl and Reign were staring the other down to some it almost looked like an old western showdown at high noon. Reign was the first to break the silence " So. Who might you be?" Kiara was quick to respond, "I am your worst nightmare, but you can call me overgirl." Reign smirked "I have already defeated two of your warriors with relative ease what makes you think your any different. " overgirl responded quickly "I am different then them. I am not afraid to kill you. Now I am getting tired of all your talk lets do this so I can show you how different I am." Reign smirked " As you wish." Both Kryptonians flew right at each both flying faster then a plane both with the intention to punch the other. When they met in the middle both fists collided with each other sending a shock wave that broke all the glass around for a few blocks and probably registered on the Richter scale, and sent both sliding back a few feet. Both had the same idea because before they even slid to a stop they both used their heat vision, and like the punch the heat ray met in the middle both pouring as much power as they could into the heat vision and evenly matched in strength the heat ray exploded blinding the whole area in a blinding light reign included, but one of the advantages of overgirl's mask blocks out harmful rays of light so while her opponent was blinded Kiara took advantage and charged reign. Before Reign knew it Overgirl connected with the left side of her face followed up by a barrage of eight other hits spread across Reigns face and chest, and finished off with a massive knee to Reigns chest sending her threw a building wall. Overgirl then used her heat vision to bring down the building right on top of Reign.
At the DEO they were watching the fight unfold, and even they were shocked and how dominant overgirl was and it unnerved some because Reign had just beat Kara and Diana, and now here was overgirl beating her so far, but at the moment overgirl was the only one that stood a chance against Reign so they did not mind as long as reign was defeated.
Back at downtown overgirl was very cautiously approaching the rubble of the downed building making sure Reign doesn't catch her off guard. After a few seconds Reign pulled herself out of the rubble shocked at the strength and agility of this overgirl clearly stronger then Supergirl and the amazon combined. She needed to regroup so as much as she did not want to back down in this instance it is the wisest choice. Reign stood up from the rubble and overgirl was looking right at her. Reign then speaks " So overgirl lets see how different you are from Supergirl and Wonder Woman." Then from nowhere Reign uses her heat vision, but misses overgirl who did not even have to move. Overgirl looked at Reign "I am sorry was I supposed to move or something." Reign smirked for the first time in while " Ah such hubris just like supergirl that blast was not meant for you if you would be so kind as to turn around." Overgirl did so and as she did she saw the intended target of Reign's heat vision. Reign sent the blast at the side of a building and destabilized the side overlooking the crowd. At first Kiara was going to let the wall fall on the crowd deeming it necessary if she can capture Reign, but then Reign said something that caught her attention "so you are going to risk the lives of dozens of people just to capture me. What would Wonder Woman say to that?" this hit Kiara hard she wanted to catch Reign, but if that's at the cost of all those peoples lives she knew Diana valued the lives of other immensely, and if she let those people die Diana would never forgive her for that. So reluctantly overgirl looks at Reign " I will get you next time." And with that she flies to stop the building from falling on the crowd of people. Reign smirked "and there will be a next time." With that Reign fled the area to regroup.
Overgirl arrived at the DEO headquarters Alex is the first to great her " I saw what you did out there that was a very Kara decision to make saving the crowd over catching the bad guy." Kiara chuckled " I didn't do it for Kara." Alex nodded "I know you didn't Diana would be proud of you." Kiara looked at Alex when she mentioned Diana, and Alex knew what Kiara wanted to know "she is fine Kiara. She had a compound fracture to her left leg, and a few broken ribs, but other then that it was just cuts and bruises. Would you like to see her she is weak, but she is awake?" Kiara nodded she need to talk with Diana about what's been on their mind so Alex takes her two the room. After a few minutes Alex and Kiara finally arrive at Diana's room, but before Alex leaves Kiara asks her to not let anybody know she was here, and Alex knew it was because she knew certain individuals where not happy with her stunt today, and she did not want to burden Diana with in her current state. Alex once again saw the love Kiara had for Diana on display, and nodded affirmatively at the request.
Kiara walks into the room and sees Diana lying on the bed hooked up to a few machines. Kiara came to sit next to Diana not used to seeing the Amazon in such a state. Diana sensed a presence in the room so she opened her eyes to see who it was, and smiled when she sees Kiara with her head down and gets her attention " Hey you" Kiara looks up instantly seeing the smiling Amazon, and she responds " How are you feeling?" Diana sat up very gingerly " I have been better if I am honest." This caused Kiara to smile, but she was broken out of her thought when Diana began to talk again " Kiara can I ask you something?" Kiara looked at her and simply nodded " Why did you come and fight against Reign, and put yourself at risk?" Kiara knew she would have to answer this question sooner or later, and usually she would do things without hesitation however when it came to this she was afraid. She was afraid because she knew she cared for Diana as more then a friend, but for most of her life she has been taught that emotions so weakness I mean even her marriage to her Earth's Oliver was hardly romantic, and she did not want to scare Diana away if she had misread the signs. That being said Diana almost died tonight, and she did not want to think about that, but she especially did not want to think about Diana dying without knowing how she feels so she decided to roll the dice.
Kiara looked right at Diana and began "Diana I need you to understand something my whole life I have been taught that most emotions are signs of weakness, and that they should be avoided. The closest thing I had to a loving relationship was with my earth's version of Oliver Queen and even that was anything but romantic. These past few weeks living with you, working with you, and in general just hanging out with you have been some of the happiest in my life, and that thought scares me. That being said as much as that scares me losing you petrified me, and the reason it petrified me was because if you died fighting Reign then you would have died not knowing how I really feel about, and how much you have come to mean to me." Diana was taken aback at the amount of vulnerability being displayed by the normally stoic Kryptonian, and she tried to speak, but was cut off of by Kiara " just give me a minute please I need to get this out before I lose my nerve." Diana nodded and motioned for her to continue. So Kiara continued " I have had many relationships in my life with Oliver, with my family on Earth-X as well as a few others and I have experienced great loss in my life my version of my biological family and Krypton, my adoptive family, and most recently my husband, and with all that loss the mere thought of losing you trumped all of that loss because I realized that what I feel for you is more then any of those relationships. It is love of the truest and purist form a love that burns brighter then the sun it self. So what I am saying is Diana Prince I am madly in love with you, and have been from the moment I saw you." Diana was shocked the last time someone said those words to her was a century ago, and since then she did not let any one get close enough to say those words to her since until now. Diana could see the emotions written all over Kiara's face tears falling from her eyes, and she knew that everything the women had said was the truth, and it was in that moment that Diana realized that she and Kiara are not that different from each other. Both had lost their original home, both had lost loved ones, and both had closed themselves off from their respective worlds. Diana could not deny that she felt something for the Kryptonian. They did everything together have dinner, watch movies, go to parties, and it just felt so natural to do that with Kiara not really putting much thought into the hidden meaning of all of it. Now in hindsight maybe it was so natural because she and Kiara were simply right for each other. The women risked everything for her by coming to save her life, defeat the villain, and had just fought everything that she has been programed to be and unloaded her soul to her right now. With all these things swimming in her head right now Diana had forgotten to respond to the admission by Kiara.
Kiara could not believe it she was wrong Diana did not feel the same way she did, and she just made a complete idiot out of herself weakening herself in the foolish notion that maybe someone loved her despite all the negatives about her. Kiara got up to leave the room quickly, but before she could leave a hand grabbed her wrist causing her to turn around, and what she saw when she turned around was an equally emotional Diana "Kiara don't leave please." The vulnerability in Diana's face caught Kiara off guard so she decided to stay. Diana continued soon after she took her seat again "When Steve told me he loved me I was fighting Ares and the fate of the world was in the balance. H3y told me he loved me before he got on a plane with the poisonous gas the enemy was going to use to kill millions of innocents. I did not say it back to him because I was focused on the fight so he left not knowing that I loved him as well, and that has been my biggest regret for the past century because a few minutes after that Steve blew up the plane with him and the gas on it, and since that day I have closed my self off to all of it, and I have not let anyone get that close since Steve. So that is a mistake I will never make again." Kiara was shocked this was a Diana that she was not used to seeing tears streaming down her eyes. Diana looks at Kiara " the truth is I love you to, and I need you to be here with me." At hearing this Kiara's whole emotional demeanor changed and she became emboldened and surged forward to capture the Amazons lips, and they stayed kissing each other for a while not knowing where the night would go.
The next morning Alex was monitoring Kara when Lena walked into the room and greeted Alex who responded in kind " morning Lena what brings you to the DEO?" the CEO offered her a smile I wanted to check on supergirl and Diana." Alex nodded well supergirl is healing well thanks to the chamber that Mon El and Imra gave us, and they also brought in another one of their legion members to help wake her up. I was about to go check on Diana would you like to come with me." Lena nodded and followed Alex to Diana's room. Alex and Lena are walking side by side when Alex turns to Lena " I wonder if Kiara is still in the room?" Lena turned to Alex confused " Overgirl made an appearance last night against Reign, and saved Diana's life me and Kara have been seeing for weeks that those two may have more then a friends relationship, but that it may actually be romantic, and I think after almost losing Diana it opened Kiara's eyes. So she came here the other day and I let her into Diana's room so they could talk.' So I am wondering if it went well for both of their sakes." Alex had been pulling for them to admit what was so painfully obvious to most people. Lena to had noticed the interaction between the two and agreed with Alex about Kiara and Diana's feelings for each other.
When Lena and Alex reached Diana's room door, and knocked with no answer they thought Diana was still asleep so both decided to open the door, and check on the amazon. When they opened the door however both Alex and Lena were shocked with what they saw in front of them. Laying on the bed in front of them was Diana with Kiara cuddled into her non-injured side with an arm draped across Diana's waist protectively, and Diana had her left arm wrapped protectively around Kiara back with Kiara's cape acting as a blanket both still very much asleep. Both Lena and Alex turned to each other, and both knew what the other one was thinking that the night had gone really well. Both Lena and Alex decided it be best to not disturb the lovebirds and closed the door. It was few hours later when Diana began to wake up. She felt better thanking Hera for her quick healing abilities because with the injuries that she had sustained she would have been side lined for weeks, but now she was just sore. Diana then noticed a weight on her side and turns to look what the weight was, and she sees one of the most beautiful things she has ever seen in her whole life a sleeping Kiara Wagner cuddled up into her side with her arm wrapped protectively around her. Kiara started to stir a few minutes after Diana had woken up. Kiara opens her eyes to see Diana looking down lovingly at her making her smile, and leaning up to kiss her amazons lips. Once the two separated Diana then spoke "So darling where do we go from here?" Kiara looked up at Diana with one thing on her mind, and one outcome she would except So Kiara sat up "well I would really love if you would make me the happiest woman on the planet and be my girlfriend?" Diana smirked at the Kryptonian, but leaned down to kiss her and responded, " Nothing would make me happier darling." And the new couple kissed for the third time in less then ten minutes both happy with what the future holds for the two of them.
