Alex and her crew finally had the luck to find the window of the warp they had fallen through. Once out the pilot informed them they had lost a full season. Alex was devastated. Asking to use the galaxy's time gate the pilot flew her to Crima.
She assured the government they had payment and would have it sent from her home planet. She and her agents were standing by for clearance dejected that so much time had gone by.
Supergirl picks up on an unusual sound, pressing her lips together she goes to their desk and takes this world's version of a pencil and tells her she's going out to investigate a sound. She flies out off the balcony in her super suit, just like on Earth and takes off in the direction of the gate.
"What sound?" Overgirl called out from bed.
"It's probably nothing, but you know me... get your rest!" She calls out over her shoulder.
Overgirl sighed and settled into sleep.
She sees extra guards stationed at the gate and smells something familiar. A strong electric charge, looking at the soldier's, "who gave authority for someone to use the gate?" She demands.
"What business is it of yours?" The gate guard asked. "Someone has money to be able to use it Officer Danvers." The guard told her.
"The fact that I have been working for months to use it and suddenly you've doubled the guard! Is there a threat I should be aware of?" Supergirl demands.
"I just told you someone is supposed to use it soon. This is just precaution."
She raises her eye brows, "then I'll stick around to observe, after all the citizens safety is my job," she comments hovering above them.
"Not unless you are in uniform human fly." He snarked. "So, clear out off duty Officer."
The hairs raise of the back of her neck, "excuse me? Who saved your team's butt from that explosion-" her head whips around. Just then Kara heard a familiar heartbeat coming from the city district. She could swear it was Alex. Her heart takes a flip at the familiarity and takes off in pursuit.
She zooms in on the familiar heart beat and sees Alex and her agents sitting around a table. Slowing down she feels her own heart beat racing, "Alex?" She says just loud enough for her to hear.
Alex spots the flying blur and jumps up immediately. Her eyes wide in surprise. "Supergirl!" She exclaimed hardly believing her luck.
Lowering herself to the ground, she feels her eyes well up with tears. "Is it really you?" She asks, bottom lip trembling as she approaches her.
"Yeah and I can see it's really you!" She embraced her sister.
Kara hugs her, feeling tears fall down her cheeks, "I've dreamt of this... and kept hoping... you found me," she holds her tightly. "How are you here?"
"I have been lost in space for over a year! How are you here Kara?" She asked amazed holding onto her sister.
"Long story short... Kara Queen and I escaped the planet where we were slaves and I stole an escape pod from a ship. We've been working here as law enforcement to earn enough to use the gate," she casts a glance in the direction. "But they've always got a new excuse..." She looks at her again and covers her face briefly. "A year?" Wiping at her eyes, "of everyone I've missed you the most," she hugs her again to assure herself of the familiar feel of her heartbeat with her own. "I love you Alex, I've missed you so much!" She buries her face into her neck.
"I have missed my little Sister too!" She hugged her as tight as she could knowing Kara barely felt it. "I am supposed to use the gate to get back- hoping I will be able to come up with the money to pay for the trip."
She looks at her and shakes her head, "they won't let Kara and I go, we're too valuable," she groans and rubs the back of her neck with both hands. "Can I talk with you privately, up there?" She points to the sky.
Alex gives her hand to her. Kara lifts her up and wraps an arm around her, "it's been too long... seriously!" She giggles and feels fresh tears. "From being with Roulette to stranded on one of their islands and getting infected from one of their plants to playing police... it's been never ending!" She groans and finally they're high up in the sky and she moves to a large body of water, holding her in her arms. "Kara and I just made plans to use the gate, distract them and use it to come back home."
"You're going to storm the gate?"
She tilts her head to the side, "I distract them, and she gets the gate going... and I know this will sound weird, Kara and I are a couple."
"You're talking to your gay sister... So, no it doesn't sound weird."
She looks at her, "that your sister is dating her twin from another dimension?"
"You two have been through hell together that is how you two bonded. And I think it is wonderful!"
Kara smiles at her, "thank you," she looks at the view. "How'd you find us anyways and where are the guys?"
"Oliver got called away and Mon El didn't come. He was needed by the legion. Are you okay?" She asks and watches her closely. "Kara time has gone by. I am sure by now he has given you up for dead. I am sorry. And the time has gone by so Overgirl probably lost Oliver."
She nods, "I never gave up on you and it makes it easier for if I see him again," Kara swallows. "She was just telling me she loves me and not Oliver, so it's a win- win," she holds her closely. "To be honest I feel like I'm dreaming..."
"I am really sorry about this." She told her.
Confused, "none of it is your fault," Kara says firmly.
"If I hadn't gone into that warp time wouldn't have gone by!"
Kara frowns, "you would have gotten here and maybe I would have been gone sooner... highly doubt it but still. And I'm just grateful you're here," she gives a smile and then her face falls. "Man... the paper work on my report will be a mountain! And I'd rather not reflect on the time with Roulette... how did you find me anyways?"
"We came really close to getting you- we had just missed you. You escaped off the ship. We lost you after that." She admitted.
Kara presses her lips together into a thin line, "we were malnourished by the time we escaped, I found fruit in the mountains, but it wasn't enough- and we didn't want to be caught again."
"And then we fell into that warp."
She closes her eyes, "I wish now that I'd waited a bit longer... we'd all be home if we didn't take off."
"When we finally got back, I was told about this gate."
"Yeah hindsight is great isn't it?"
She hugs her close, "I need to change plans with Kara... we can't risk the agents from the DEO getting hurt."
"We still have an issue with money... I promised the DEO would come up with it. Problem is I think it will bankrupt the city!"
She shakes her head, "they won't let you leave, they'll see a value and make it unattainable. I'll take us to our place," she starts flying for their apartment. "Kara, we've got company!" She calls out.
Kara Queen stirred sleepily. "Wha?" She asked sleepily.
Landing on the balcony she sets Alex down. "Kara, we've got to change our plans," she says stepping in and gesturing her big sister in.
"What?" She still tried to awaken. She had nodded off pretty quick. She pulls on her robe and crawls out of bed. "Alex!" She asked startled.
Supergirl beams, "yeah!" She says trying to contain her excitement. "There's a team of DEO agents here as well, they're waiting on National City to pay for using the gate, but I really don't see them allowing them to leave."
"So what is the plan?" Overgirl asked, giving Alex a warrior's hand shake.
"I think... we should contact the agents that are waiting on Alex. Or," she starts walking back and forth as she mauls it over. "Or... I go and have a chat with the Captain and inform him that my help has arrived and..." she wets her lips and keeps her tongue there as she tries to work it out.
"I would not alert them we are together." Kara Queen told them.
She runs her hands through her hair, "but I could distract them, so you and the agents can get the gate going."
"What are you going to do to distract them?" Alex asked.
"Ummm... I... uhhh I will tell them that there's a threat on the other side of the city... that there's," she closes her eyes deep in thought. "A portal opened up and that there's an army... that there's too many and Kara Queen is down and that I need back-up!"
"That might work." Alex said hopeful.
"Yes!" Her hands go up in the air, "knowing that one of us is down... I'd press that she's the stronger one... and I need to get their people and they'll bring away the majority, so you can get out!" She says excitedly. "Once I'm at the area, I'll ditch them and fly back!"
"You can execute the plan. We will be ready."
Kara nods firmly, "okay, Alex, inform the other agents of the plan okay? I'll go to the Captain's office and inform him," she walks over to the balcony. Looking back at them both she smiles.
"I still don't think you should let the Captain know anything. The sooner we strike the better!" Kara Queen told them both speed dressing in her Overgirl leathers.
"I want off this planet and a distraction is our best bet!" Supergirl says and holds onto her shoulders before looking at Alex.
"We need to take the gate tonight!"
Alex agreed.
Kara places a hand onto Alex's shoulder, "I won't let you down," she says with a smile and with confidence. She lifts into the air and waves before flying off.
"How will we know it is time?"
"When the guards leave, or you hear radio chatter, there'll be a commotion," Supergirl calls out before flying to the Captain's place to find him in his office.
Captain Amalj looks up and looks at her curiously, "you don't have a shift tonight. Is there something I can help you with?"
Supergirl approaches his desk quickly, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, "Overgirl and I were out Octs," she says knowing that their West is called Octs. "And a portal opened up in the woods," she puts her hands onto the desk, "she got into a fight with a large group of them. But they're not human, they've got this advanced armour and before we could gauge them they took her down!" She says in a stressed tone, walking around to his side of the desk. "She forced me to leave to get you, more were piling out of the portal, they looked to be bringing an army! We have to move, or the city could get overrun!"
He thinks it over and presses a button, he types in a message on his forearm computer. He reaches into a drawer to pull an object out, having a bright green glow.
Supergirl is ready to charge off with him 'yes it's! What?' She turns and feels it. Her strength draining, and feels her veins start burning. Her legs buckle, and she falls into a heap on the floor.
He stands up and sets it down to watch her veins turn colour and her eyes, "I called the guards away from the gate. Here are a few things I'm aware of..." he starts pacing in the room. "Your twin is stronger than you, if her situation is dire enough she'll change and become... well you know who," he looks down at her watching her writhing and trying to crawl to the door.
"I met your sister, Agent Danvers, I connected the dots and wondered when you'd come here because let's face it," he kneels down in front of her and lifts her chin. "If she came here and I did this to her she would change, and I wouldn't be able to handle her. But if you came and they activate the gate... I can shut it down when they start to wait for you."
Supergirl barely listened to him, knowing he has kryptonite is bad enough. She pulls away from his hand, breathing shuddering breaths as she tries to get away from the rock.
He hears a beep come from his communicator and he smiles, "they've moved out Octs... now to check the perimeter to see if your friends have taken off to the gate. Oh, and I got the rock two months after you arrived when we foresaw this coming. I also had it shaped into bullets," he looks at security camera footage.
Supergirl feels herself collapse, finding it harder to breath and move. Her body on fire 'Alex... Kara... I need you!' Goes through her mind. "Alex..." she whispers 'I finally get you back and this happens... the irony.'
Kara Queen picked up on Supergirl's cry for help. "Kara's in trouble!" She exclaimed to Alex. "You and your agents need to storm the gate now, shoot with everything you've got. I have to save her." Overgirl realized the Sorceress gave her the power to hear her twin. She immediately flew out to save her.
Crashing through the window of Capt Amalj's office she heat visioned his hand and fried the rock right out of it. She then aimed her eyes at him grabbing him, about to stab him with a knife she now carries on her.
"Call off the guards on the gate now! Or I will kill you!" She snarled ready to stab him. She handed him the communicator. "Now!" She screamed in his face.
He looks at her genuinely scared, "I called them off already! They're off in the direction she said!"
Eyes turning red. "Tell them to allow the gate to be used now!" She growled, handing him the device.
He feels the point of her long knife in his stomach. "I will run you through if you delay."
Supergirl tries to push herself into standing, her arms shake, and they give out. She had forgotten how bad it felt.
He takes the communicator, "activate the gate! Let them use it! I order you to allow them to use it!"
She looks over at her twin who is recovering now that the evil green stone was destroyed.
"Are you sure Sir?" A guard questioned.
"Yes! This is a direct order from Captain Amalj! Activate the gate!" He orders.
She grabs him up and cuffs his hands behind him. He feels her hands tighten on him like a vice.
"Yes Sir!" The guard complied, and Alex made sure all her agents went through first. She waited tensely for the two Kryptonians.
"You're coming with me as my shield." She told him pulling him to her. She kicked him in the knee, making him fall to the ground in pain. She walked over and helped her partner Supergirl up.
"Are you alright sweet one?" She asked brushing her hair out of her eyes and helped her to get up. "Do you need me to carry you?"
Supergirl looks at her, eye sight unfocused, "well... that went great," she says, "I really... owww" she holds her forehead in reaction to the headache coming on. "That was as bad as the stadium," she holds onto Overgirl. Her legs shaking, "I can fly," she says as firmly as she can. More so to give herself confidence.
She smiled, a little lopsided grin, pulling her up all the way. "I did say not to alert the Capt." She sighed looking at her lover in frustration. "Come on." She grabbed Amalj by the arm, with his hands still cuffed he felt like his shoulder was separating from its socket. He cried out as she lifted him to fly back to the gate.
She watched as Supergirl flew to her side. "Are you sure you are alright? I will fry this piece of animal dung if he hurt you." She told Supergirl.
Supergirl gathered up all the strength she could muster to fly with her, "no... I'm not, but I'll make it," she smiles tiredly. "He... He didn't..." she says, each word an effort now as she is doing all she can to stay in the air. She sees Alex at the gate and a genuine smile crosses her face. As she gets nearer she notices she is slowing down.
Overgirl drops the Captain on the ground he groans and does not rise.
