Last chapter for this episode, and then it's onto the Mr and Mrs Mxzyptlk episode. I was originally going to skip it, because I had an idea, but decided against it, to an extent. But I will do it differently though, besides the obvious.

Also, good news for the Arrowverse, Crisis on Infinite Earths is going to be even better, considering they're having Kevin Conroy be an older Bruce Wayne in the crossover. They already have a lot of people coming and supposedly coming back that's shaping up to be really good. It looks like it's going to be the tv version of Avengers Endgame but its DC's turn at bat.

And also just to clarify, I like both Marvel and DC, even though I lean more to Marvel's side.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Luthors (3)

Steve watched Kara pace around Winn as worked on the footage of Lena with the Kryptonite. She had been doing that, and asking Winn if he had found anything. In some way, he found it sorta amusing, and the way Winn was being patient was admirable.

It made him remember of the times Peggy did the same thing, but with Howard, or anyone she needed information from.

He glanced at Natasha, who was watching as well, and like always had her face neutral, but he could see corner of her lip curved up a little bit. That stood to reason that she found the whole thing amusing as well.

He then looked at Alex, who was talking to one of the agents, but she would look at Kara's direction as well. Throughout this whole thing she, hadn't given much of her take on Lena's position, but he had a feeling she and Kara had talked about it privately. Not that he wanted to ask, he had a feeling it would've been those sisterly talks that were between them. And he knew he would overstepping some boundaries if he ever asked.

"You know, the backseat driving, not helping." Winn said.

"Sorry. But have you found anything yet?" Kara asked again.

"I promise I will tell you. Maybe if you look into Cap's eyes, you'll get lost in them, lose track of time, and then maybe I'll have something." Winn said with a slight grin.

Natasha smirked and said," Rogers eyes are nice, Danvers. You picked a good one."

Kara's face was red, along with Steve's, but he held back a laugh when Kara lightly slapped Winn's arm.

"I hate you."

Winn grinned cheekily at her and said," But you love me anyway. Besides, haven't you ever heard the phrase, 'A watched pot never…' Oh. Whoa, wait a second, I might be simmering." He said as he found something.

The three Avengers went to look at the screen, to see what he found.

"What is it?" Kara asked.

"Okay, so I hacked into L-Corp CCTV to get a copy of the raw video footage of Lena taking the Kryptonite. But, ha! It looks like somebody already hacked into this system a couple of days ago. And… I know this code."

"How can you tell?" Steve asked.

"Well, you weren't here for the first time something like this happened Cap. But this is the same code the real Hank Henshaw used the day he broke into L-Corp to take the isotope."

"So which means Henshaw corrupted the original video, and left his signature then." Natasha said.

Winn pointed at her and said," Bingo. Now then, I can reverse the signature and decrypt it, and separate the raw video file from the corrupted one. And…"

After a couple of more keystrokes, the video changed to show the real footage. And instead of it being Lena taking the Kryptonite, it was Henshaw himself.

"Ha!" Winn victoriously said.

"That mean's Lena didn't do it!" Kara happily said.

"Well, looks like you were right all along." Natasha said with a nod.

"Huh, I know won't be able to understand all of this. But the future has some impressive technology." Steve praised.

"That's the perks about being the 21st century Rogers, we have all the better toys." Nat said.

"You were right?" Winn said in disbelief.

Kara gave him a look, but he soon realized how he said it and said," I mean, you were right. Uh, sorry."

"Kryptonite signature detected." The computer said.

All four of them went over to another computer monitor, and Winn sat down and went to work.

"What's that about?" Steve asked.

"J'onn's been having me scan for Kryptonite signatures, so we could find Metallo."

"Have you found it, Agent Schott?" J'onn asked as he, M'gann and Alex went to see what was going on.

"Yep! 50 miles north of Mount Whitney. Wait a second. It's strange because, either something's wrong with the signal or the source isn't pure."

Alex noticed something and said, "The ionizing radiation signature is breaking down at an exponential rate."

"Kryptonite is normally the most stable of elements." J'onn agreed

"Then what does that mean?" Steve asked.

"Well, if you remember what Olson said about Metallo's Kryptonite being off. Then Cadmus didn't have pure Kryptonite, but some sort of Synthetic. I contacted Shield earlier and they said they weren't missing any." Nat explained.

"Whoa, whoa. If these numbers are right, then it's not just unstable, it's going to blow. Like nuclear." Winn said.

"Have you finished repairing the anti-Kryptonite vest Supergirl wore the last time she fought Metallo?" J'onn asked.

"They're in pieces, I have to rebuild…"

"No, there's no time. I have to go now, or Lena's dead." Kara disagreed.

"You want us to go with you?" Steve asked, with Natasha standing next to him.

Kara shook her head and said," No, it's going to be extremely dangerous. You both have to stay."

Steve sighed, and looked at Natasha, and she nodded at him, confirming what Kara said.

"Just be careful, ok."

Kara gave her boyfriend a reassuring look and said," I will."

"Well I guess I'm coming along. Last time I missed the action, but I have a feeling you'll need help." M'gann said.

"Alright, let's go." Kara said, and took off.

M'gann was about to go, but J'onn stopped her.

"M'gann please be careful. This is Lillian Luthor we're dealing with, not to mention we're also dealing with Hank Henshaw." He said.

M'gann didn't need to read his mind or emotions to know he was worried. He had his serious face on, but she could see the concern in his eyes.

M'gann nodded at her uncle and said, "Don't worry Uncle J'onn, I will. Also, Hank Henshaw may own the face, but you wear it with respect and honor."

'If Angie was here, she would've compared that to a saying from a horror movie.' M'gann thought humorously.

She then changed into her Miss Martian form, and took off after Kara. J'onn allowed himself a small grin before his face returned to its neutral state, and waited for her and Kara to say when they were near the area.

Kara and M'gann were now flying side-by-side and they were nearing the place where the Kryptonite signature was.

"Kara, M'gann, we calculated the rate of radioactive decay. It's faster than we thought." Winn said into their comms.

"How fast?" Kara responded.

Winn looked at his tablet and said," I mean, its half-life is decreasing exponentially."

"You two have to turn back. When the Kryptonite explodes, it's going to send out a radioactive cloud of Kryptonite gas. If you both get caught in or near it, it'll kill you." Alex said.

"Then we'll make sure we're not there when it goes off." Kara said, and ended it there.

Alex sighed, knowing she wasn't going to talk her out of it.

"Y'know she gets that from you, right? Facing danger head on and sorta headstrong." Steve said.

Alex didn't know whether to glare at him or agree with him. But she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of being right. So she kept quiet.

Kara created a boost of speed and took creating a tunnel as a means to get into the mountain structure. While M'gann took phasing as her option, Martian's were durable and all, but they weren't on the same level as Kryptonian's. And she wasn't planning on testing out if she could do what Kara just did. After phasing through, she turned invisible when she got into the structure with Kara. She would reveal herself when she was needed.

"Supergirl, I can't believe you're here." Lena happily said.

M'gann saw she was being held by Metallo, and along with him, Lillian Luthor and the real Hank Henshaw.

"Kara Danvers believes in you." Kara reassured.

'Why are you referring yourself in the third person?' M'gann teased, despite the situation.

'Shut up.' Kara responded.

"Supergirl, you're just in time. I've been wondering if these worked on you, and your Martian friend." Lillian said and threw a sphere at Kara.

Kara caught one, but it turned out to be a sonic grenade, and Kara was incapacitated due to her hearing being sensitive. And M'gann lose her focus, as well, and became visible again.

She could hear the others trying to reach them through their comms, but the noise was in the way.

Metallo and Henshaw were the ones who got her and Kara to move. If it wasn't for the noise, she would've been smashing them into the ground. M'gann had heard Lillian order them to lock them in the vault. And she managed to her Winn say about the Kryptonite Decay was increasing.

And Kara was trying to convince Lillian and Metallo of that. And even if they believed them, they wouldn't care, and let him explode if it meant the death of Supergirl and Miss Martian. No matter if they died themselves or not.

"I have a feeling you are related to J'onn J'onzz. It will be a great joy to see you perish." Henshaw told M'gann.

Even though the noise was loud she managed to say, "Sorry to disappoint, but that's not going to happen."

Kara then destroyed the Sonic Grenade with her heat vision. Metallo then fired off his Kryptonite, which sent everyone sprawling to the ground.

"Listen to me, the more Metallo uses the Synthetic Kryptonite, the faster it's decaying."

"Supergirl, Miss Martian, I speak for everyone when I say you should get Lena, and leave now." Steve ordered in his Captain voice.

M'gann got up, and held a shield up when Metallo fired at her and Kara. Kara then threw a nearby motorcycle at Metallo, but he destroyed it.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure him flickering isn't some kind of feature he has, we have to leave now." M'gann said.

She then used her telekinesis to lift him up, smash him into the ground, and then threw him into a pillar. But he miraculously got up, but from the looks of it, he looked like he was going to explode.

"Guys! Get out of there now!" Steve yelled.

"I got Lena, let's go." Kara said.

M'gann nodded and said, "Right behind you."

The both of them took off, and they barely got the distance from the mountain when the explosion went off.

"Kara/M'gann!" they heard everyone yell.

"Don't worry guys, we're fine. We'll be back in a minute." M'gann said with a sigh.

Everyone back at the DEO let out sighs of relief. Steve visibly relaxed, and felt pride for the both of them, mainly for Kara. But that sorta had to do with the fact he was dating Kara, and he didn't have anything against M'gann.

It did amaze him how Kara could always come out on top with things get bad. She always knew how to handle any situation

It was one of the reasons why he loved her... wait what?!

'I need to think over that train of thought.' Steve nervously thought.

'I'm going to stay home for a couple of days. Order take out and stuff, you want to join?' M'gann mentally asked, as they got further.

'Sure, after the past couple days, I could use some relaxing.' Kara tiredly said.

Later the next day, Kara walked into Catco, feeling happy about what was going on. Lena had been exonerated from her supposed crimes, and everything was going back to somewhat normalcy.

Kara saw Snapper, and smugly said," I'm not one to usually gloat or say 'I told you so'. But… it doesn't seem like I was the one with confirmation bias."

"Yesterday she was guilty. Today's she's not. It's not confirmation bias, Danvers, it's just the news game. And since you've got enough time on your hands to stand around and look up at that TV, how about you get out there and get an exclusive on Lena Luthor? This time, try to spell 'exclusive' right." He said and walked away.

Kara took that as her being right, and walked off, but then saw James, and he saw her. They have been on thin ice with each other, and she hoped they would settle their differences, and go back to the way things were.

She would get her answer, due to him walking over to her.

"Hey, any, um, any word on Lillian Luthor?" He asked.

"A satellite feed from the mountain showed a helicopter before the explosion." She explained.

"But, uh, no sign of her afterwards?"

"Lillian and Henshaw got away."

"Yeah, you were right, about Lena Luthor. And I was wrong. I'm sorry." James apologized.

"You were trying to protect me."

"Yeah. I just let my own personal experiences get the best of me. And I shouldn't have let it. I think it's a good idea to let this be a thing of the past, and move on." James said.

"I agree." Kara said, and felt relief on the inside.

"And you know what. We haven't have a game night in a while. I know we already had a couple with Steve, but we haven't with Romanoff."

Kara grinned and said," That sounds great. But I do have to warn you. She is a master spy and could probably win by a land slide."

James shrugged and said," Well, I lost against you numerous times, so I think the sting of defeat won't hurt as much from her, even though it has from you."

The both of them laughed, and hugged briefly at that. Kara had a feeling Snapper would bark at her soon for not getting that exclusive from Lena soon, and she would need to do it soon.

But she was glad everything was going back to normal.

Later that night, Steve knocked on Kara's door, and smiled when Kara answered it. She motioned to the couch, and they both walked to it and sat down. Steve held Kara under his arm as she laid on his side.

Kara sighed contently and said," I needed this, after the past couple of days."

Steve grinned at her and said, "Well, who am I not to listen when a beautiful dame like yourself asks for help? Even when she's Supergirl?"

Kara giggled and said," Well Captain America, thank you for helping me."

"Your welcome, how's Lena doing?"

"She's doing good, and she praised the article I did of her. Managed to snag one before they would be officially circulated."

"Glad that's she's doing ok. I honestly don't know what I would feel if something like that happened to me. So, I also heard that you and James are on better terms now." Steve said.

"Yeah, I mean I knew he was looking out for me, and didn't want me to get hurt. But I guess we let our personal feelings get in the way. But in the end of it, we're still friends. And also, we're having Nat over for next game night."

"Well, I can already feel the humiliating defeat coming from you and Romanoff now. You I can handle, but I don't know about her."

Kara smirked and said," Don't worry, we'll go easy on you guys. Also, it's good thing Mon El is coming as well, that way, they can spend more time together."

Steve shook his head with amusement, and kissed her head. Kara then took off her glasses, and leaned in.

Before they could even kiss, a bright light of energy manifested behind them, and they got up. it flew around the room until it stopped at the window, and the energy turned into a man.

"Darling." He said.

"Who the hell are you?" Kara asked, shocked and confused.

"My name is Mr. Mxyzptlk. And Kara Zor-El. I love you." He proclaimed.

Steve gaped, and had feeling things were going to be quite interesting.
