Overgirl grabs Supergirl and helps land with her next to Alex. "You two go. I have unfinished business here." She looked at all the guards standing down to help protect the Captain from any further pain. Kara Queen waited for the two to go through the gate. She saw her twin hesitate. "Go!" She yelled, "I will be right behind you!"
Supergirl holds onto Alex tightly, but her strength is draining quickly as the flight took the last of her energy. "Alex... I'm... I'm gonna," she tries to get the words out that she's going to pass out.
Alex grabs onto her and jumps through with her Sister.
"Now, no one will be following us." She steps in half way before leaning out and heat visioning the entire gate. It started a massive explosion just as she jumped through to the other side.
The three women and gathered agents watched as an explosion was seen briefly and then literally blinked out of sight.
"No more gate." Overgirl smirked stepping all the way out. They saw they were in a desert. But it did look like one outside of National City.
"Alex?" She heard in her ear piece.
"Winn!" She cried out. "We're back! Please pick us up!"
"Rescue is on its way!" He called happily.
Alex looked down at Kara. "She's sick from kryptonite poisoning." She stated looking at Overgirl.
She nodded. "The sooner we get her to the DEO the better." Overgirl agreed.
Soon the chopper landed and all the tired agents, Alex and Overgirl were loaded aboard. They both helped an unconscious Supergirl inside. Medics started working right away on Supergirl. They attached a breathing mask on her and started an IV to push fluids.
"Is everyone else okay?" The medic asked the others. They all assured him that they were okay.
Soon they arrived at the DEO, and Supergirl was brought to the infirmary and placed onto a sunbed. Overgirl stood by her side, as did Alex. Both staunchly protective of her.
Supergirl's mind is foggy, images of what transpired last swirling in her mind and she tries to make sense of it. Her right hand twitches, she realizes her real hand had moved and then she notices noises and feeling other things.
A constant beeping, the feel of a sheet over her, the warmth of the sun and something covering her face. The heart rate monitor starts beeping faster and faster at an alarming rate while her head tosses left and right.
She remembers being in his office and the mention of kryptonite bullets has her mind playing tricks on her. At the realization that she could be in the infirmary on that planet still she bolts upright in fear.
She sees Overgirl motion forward to grab her and hug her. "It's all right. I am right here. We are safe back on Earth with the DEO. See?" She grabs Alex's hand. "Alex is here, you are finally back."
Her eyes dart back and forth, "wait... this is real?" She asks a little breathless. Looking at Alex, "We're actually back?" She asks reaching for her. "It wasn't all a dream?"
"Do you see the two of us standing here?" She removed Kara's mask as she could see she was healing fast.
Alex comes in for a hug. "You are safe." She told her eyes moist from tears.
Kara happily hugs Alex, careful about hurting her and her body starts to shake as tears start to flow down her face. "I thought I was never seeing you again," her voice trembles.
"I know, and we are all back together and safe!" She saw J'onn run into the room, excited his three girls were back.
Both Kryptonians noticed their old partners were nowhere to be seen. J'onn had lost weight and looked considerably older too.
Supergirl holds onto Alex, still afraid deep down of losing her again. She looks up at J'onn and can't stop the tears that flow, "I can't believe I'm home," she says.
Winn also followed J'onn closely from behind. He too looked older and very tired. She motions for them to come forward, so she can hug them both as well.
"It's been over a year. We thought we lost all of you." J'onn told Supergirl a tear falling from his eye. Full of emotion. He hugged her tightly, unbelieving of his incredible luck to get her- and in fact all of them back.
J'onn and Alex embraced long and hard, overwhelming emotions swimming to the surface.
Dr. Hamilton checked Kara's vitals and saw she had healed quickly from the kryptonite poisoning.
"It's great to see you doc," Kara says honestly, wiping tears from her face.
"You are fine now, but don't go and get into any fights for a few days okay?" She grinned at her, and gave her a big hug. "Welcome back Supergirl!" She gushed.
Supergirl nods, "I won't, I promise or I'm pretty sure I'll be in just as much trouble with Kara," she giggles and hugs her in return. "I can't believe I am actually back, it's been far too long! We worked so hard as police officials on that planet to pay to use the gate to come home! But we became too valuable," she holds her for an extra moment before grabbing Winn for a hug.
"Well you are valuable. They simply noticed late." J'onn told her smiling.
Kara Queen helped Supergirl up off the sunbed. "Should we see about pizza for you Kara?" Overgirl smirked.
"Wait! You didn't have pizza anywhere in that universe you were rattling around in?" Winn asked shocked.
Overgirl shook her head.
"Alien bar! I am buying!" Alex called out. "Wait, it's still around right?" She asked quickly.
"Yes." Winn smirked. "Uh guess who owns it?"
Supergirl looks around, "what about my loft? Did you guys manage to keep it? I would love for ordinary clothes!"
"I own your loft, and the bar." J'onn told her proudly.
"The landlord sold off the apts. Made them into condos. No more renting. I bought yours to protect it. It is exactly the way you left it. I have sent maid service to clean it. But the dust does accumulate." He admitted.
"So you have to pay J'onn rent every month!" Overgirl laughed to her mate.
J'onn frowned. "No, I bought it for you Kara, on the hope you would be back to enjoy it no longer paying for it." He looked at Supergirl, eyes becoming moist from tears of pure emotion. "You are my daughter. The three of you are my daughters." J'onn embraced the three girls.
"Aww Papa Bear strikes again!" Winn teased.
Supergirl hugs him tightly, "thank you so much J'onn!" Fresh tears rolling down her cheeks. "It feels so good to be back!"
"I missed you all." He confessed
"Okay," she wipes her eyes of tears and wets her lips. "I have a feeling Mon-El is in the future... but where's Oliver?" She asks curious.
Everyone went quiet. "Why don't we get to the bar and have that pizza?" Winn suggested quickly.
Kara Danvers rolls her eyes, "okay... I'm shooting off to my loft to get changed first, if that's okay with everyone else?" She knows she'll get the answer out of Winn later as he can't keep secrets.
Watching the two girls go, J'onn steps over to Alex, even though he's got tired eyes he has renewed energy. "I need to speak with you privately."
She looks at him and walks with him. Once in a room for no interruptions he closes the door behind him. "How was your working relationship with Oliver before you left?" He turns to her recalling the torture but never got the chance to speak with her about it.
"Not the best… why?" She grabs some clothes out of her locker
Hands on his hips, "he still works here, but he left you as your twin was shot in a bank robbery. She flat lined but they brought her back. With the news of you disappearing and the two Kara's gone, we all felt beside ourselves. He stayed with your twin through her recovery," he hesitates. "It wasn't a fast decision for him to give up on his wife."
Yanks off her tactical armor and Kevlar top. She has a tank top on underneath and pulls on a regular black DEO shirt over it. "So that's where he is." She said slamming her locker door.
"Not just that Alex, he's now in a relationship with your twin. Granted it didn't happen right away as he was in mourning when he accepted his wife as being gone... it wrecked him. A month or so later he informed me that your twin and him had become close, romantically."
"What else should I know? The slut..." She growled. "Do you have any clue how Kara Queen is going to take this?"
He places a hand onto her shoulder, "Alex, please, much has happened since you were gone. For you everything went by in the blink of an eye, for us, it was torture not knowing if any of you were alive or not," he looks at her seriously. "I've been going out as Supergirl, and the constant wondering if any of you would return was torment for the rest of us."
"And what are we going to do when the Sorceress comes out due to her anger?" She eyed him carefully. "She might try to kill my twin."
He runs a hand over his head, "that's not the rest of it, but I don't feel it is my place to tell you anything further." He turns away, "please understand Alex... it's not as though she took advantage of him," he looks over his shoulder at her. "I need to call him and tell him to warn me of any trips he's taking back here to avoid that."
She grabbed her gear and put it in a duffle bag she had set on the floor.
"I am not thrilled. Wait! How can he be with my slutty sister when he's still married to Kara? He didn't! He declared her dead, didn't he!"
He rubs his face, "Alex... I'm asking out of respect, do not talk about her that way. Oliver filed for divorce and filed the claim for his wife's death. After that it took over a month before anything happened," he turns to her. "I'm sorry, there's still a lot to wrap my head around."
"Out of respect of what? A twin that doesn't belong that stole Kara's husband?" She shook her head. "Sorry J'onn, this is one homecoming I can't stomach. If it weren't for my Kara's feelings I would pass on this party!" She looked at him. "Do I still have my apartment?"
"Alex! He and the rest of us went through therapy as we were losing sleep over the thought that we lost you!" He looks at her seriously. "We couldn't function! We were doing all we could to keep searching for you, any sign that you were alive!" He turns away from her. "And now both Kara's are together!" He turns back to her. "I was pressured for so long to mark all three of you as dead and I was in many fights with the President about it..."
She just looked at him, almost staring through him. "I am going to my apartment to change. If I still have it!" She quipped. "Do I? Or am I dead too?"
J'onn looks at her, "I never pronounced you or your sister as being dead. You still have your place," his eyes grow moist. "The idea of pronouncing the two girl's dead that I've seen as daughters for years was too much." He points at her, "I always felt you were alive, deep down I kept hoping.
"One night, Oliver was on a mission and nearly got himself killed. He thought he saw his wife, he froze, after that he got rest and felt he was hallucinating and was pressured into letting her go. To move on with his life," he holds his hands up defensively. "It wasn't by me, I urged him to reconsider but he got a field assessment and his mental state had been compromised. He wanted to continue working with us and not be a liability, so he signed the paper work to pronounce her dead."
"I see. So, do I owe you a bunch of back rent?" She was too upset to care about Oliver anymore. She was heading out of the locker room.
He places a hand onto her shoulder, "Alex... what happened out there?" He keeps her from leaving.
"What do you think happened J'onn?" Her brown eyes flared at him. "We got lost in a fucking hole in space! I am pissed that Kara lost her husband and is now dead because of me!"
She pulls his hand off her shoulder. "I am going to my apartment!" She snapped walking off.
He rubs at his eyes and walks after her, "Alex... none of this is your fault!"
"Is my bike still in the garage? And has anyone started it a few times if it is?" She stared at him. "Yeah it is my fault."
J'onn walks over to her, "it should have been me to go out there. And yes, I personally took care of your things," he looks out beyond her. "The girls should have never been taken on my watch, and I should have gone out into space instead of you."
"Hardly, you are the Director. That mission was for agents. Falling through that fucking hole caused all of them to lose a year with their family! I sucked as a leader." She looked down then resolutely turned and headed to the garage.
She saw her bike with the key still in the ignition. "I missed my Ducati." She told him jumping onto it and starting it up. "Thanks for running it. Did you get a chance to ride it a few times?" She placed the sleek black helmet on her head.
J'onn smiled at her in the bike, "I rode it to be closer to you," he admits. "I got it maintenance," he looks at the bike. "I'm sorry Alex, I let you down."
"You didn't let me down J'onn. I let everyone else down. See you at the party." She rode off.
He watches her go, frustrated with himself and wishing she didn't take things personally. For him, it's his job, not hers but he knows it comes from her upbringing with Kara. He takes off to his own place after informing the techs that he was going out for a few hours.
