"So, how did it go?" Alex asked her sister as they sat on the couch.

Kara sighed as she was leaning against her hand that was propped up on one of the pillows of the couch. If it wasn't for Alex and her friends encouraging her to start a relationship with William she wouldn't have attempted it. He was a very good man and yet she had already begun by lying to him. "He asked about my sick grandmother." Alex groaned in response. "And I had to go with it. It was the first thing out of my mouth, and it was a lie. And then I just... left." William was completely opposite of Leo and he had been so kind. He had given her attention she wasn't used to for so long. "I can battle Kryptonite-powered Lexosuits, but I can't even take the first step in a relationship because it is doomed with deception."

Alex shook her head. "You don't know that for sure."

"Well, it happened with my relationship with Leo." Alex had no words for that. Kara still missed Leo and she wasn't sure she was ready to move on from him. "I can't help thinking that if I had done things differently, maybe things would have turned out differently." What if she could have saved their relationship if she had just told Leo sooner?

Alex sighed, "There is just… there's no way of knowing." They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

Kara excitedly stood up, "Oh, that's probably J'onn with the pizza, which is great!" She grabbed her glasses placing them on before making her way to her door. "Hi!" She said as she opened it only for her mouth to drop in surprise. J'onn wasn't at her door, instead it was a strange man. His hands were clasped together in front of him and he was standing with one leg bent.

"Some say there's no way of knowing. But I say, first, ask Mr. Mxyzptlk." He grinned and wiggled his eyebrows. Both Kara and Alex stood stunned by the door way. This wasn't Mxy he looked nothing like Mxy.

Alex cleared her throat, "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm confused." She looked toward Kara for any explanation. "This is your all-powerful Fifth Dimensional stalker?"

"No. I don't know who this is." Kara said clearly just as confused as her sister.

Mxy sighed, "I am Mr. Mxyzptlk, just as I'm sure that you, Kara Danvers, are Su—" He began and Kara and Alex quickly grabbed Mxy and pulled him in preventing him from saying anything more. "Ughh! Thank you so much!" He said as he walked inside Kara's apartment. He extended his arms out. "I can't just come in anymore. I have to be invited."

"Tell me who you are and what you want now!" Kara demanded and Mxy snapped his fingers and pointed at the television. What was playing was what transpired when Mxy had declared his love for Kara in the past. Kara grimaced at the memory. "Ok if you." She turned to face Mxy only to be surprised as he wasn't there but sitting cross legged on the table. "If you are Mxy, then why do you look like this?" She motioned toward him.

"Okay, I only took on that other form and sophisticated accent to impress you. But it worked." He snapped his fingers again. "You caught me." Again the television was playing the moment Kara had tricked Mxy into going back to the Fifth Dimension. Mxy ran his hand though his hair. "Uh I miss that hair. I really, really do. But now, I can't use any of my powers," He twilled his fingers in the air. "except to help those whom I have wronged."

Alex rolled her eyes her arms crossed over her chest. "Oh, how sad for you."

"Yes." Mxy replied. "A tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, I agree. But great news. You're the last one." He smiled.

Kara began to laugh, "What could I possibly need your help for?" Mxy snapped his fingers again and pointed over toward the television. Kara turned only to be haunted by the moment Leo had turned on Kara. She swallowed thickly.

Mxy was now sitting on top of one of Kara's chairs, "Your ex-boyfriend thinks that he is your enemy." He turned to look at Kara. "And the worst part. It's your fault. You hid the truth from him. You let him find out from that sadist, Lex, and now, you think he could be capable of anything."

"What's your point?" It was her fault, Mxy was right. He was right about everything and Leo and Lex was a dynamic that could be catastrophic.

"My point, toots, is this." Mxy began as the stood up and walked across Kara's coffee table.

Kara extended her hand out. "Ahh careful…"

Mxy sat down on the couch with a glass of wine. "I am offering you a do-over." He gently swirled the wine in the glass. "Hummm I could send you back in time. Wouldn't you like to be able to tell Leo that you're Supergirl on your own terms? Wouldn't you like to see…what the world would look like…if you controlled the narrative?" He slowly took a sip of the wine.

Kara often did wonder about the what ifs. Mxy's offer was very tempting. Still how could she actually trust Mxy. What if she ended up making things worse? Kara and Alex both jumped as Mxy suddenly appeared behind both of them. "Haven't you hurt enough? Humm? I get it." He put his hand in front of Alex's face. "You don't trust me." He then raised one finger up, "Okay, but how's this? Ready?" He pulled a tape recorder out of his jacket and handed it to Kara. "Now, by Fifth Dimensional law, I am required to give you this recording of me saying my name backwards, in case you ever need to banish me to my Fifth Dimension, which I know that you-" Before he could say anymore however Kara had pressed the play button on the recorder sending Mxy back to the Fifth Dimension.

She had an opportunity to fix things with Leo. She had to take it, and if Mxyzptlk was offering a rare chance to change things in a way that wouldn't harm things she had to try. She wouldn't be able to live with herself without taking a chance. She turned to Mxyzptlk, "All right, so, how does this work?" She rested a hand against her hip.

"I will show you relevant parts of your life. You'll tell me when to pause," He raised his hand. "I will snap like thus, sending you back. You will change history. Once you have confronted Leo, you will come back, we will watch from your loft and the safety of your couch. If you are comfortable with the domino effect…" He clapped his hands. Kara turned looking behind her only to see a large movie screen and a film reel. "I will then snap again, at which point, it will become reality. Okay?"

Kara took a seat and nodded. "Okay." It seemed simple enough now she just had to find a moment to tell Leo the truth.

Mxy took a film reel and began looking though the film. "So, three years. Where did it go wrong?" Kara looked at an empty popcorn bucket she picked it up only to find it empty. That was soon fixed as Mxy snapped his fingers and popcorn fell from above filling the bucket up with fresh popcorn.

"Well…when Leo told me that he knew I was Supergirl, he was furious." She took some popcorn then eating it slowly.

"Yeah."

"He said I made a fool out of him. He was humiliated." Kara sighed.

"Okay, so, we're looking for a moment where you made your boyfriend feel like a big, dumb idiot. Yeah?" Mxyzptlk asked.

Kara grimaced. "In so many words."

Mxy nodded, "Well, we have an embarrassment of riches." He clapped his hands then showing Kara the moment when they headed for Kaznia and the plane was struck by lightning.

Kara shook her head. "Ugh, this is awful. I'm awful!" No wonder Leo had been so upset at her.

Mxy nodded, "You're awful." Kara's head snapped to look at Mxyzptlk, he wasn't supposed to agree with her. It honestly just made her feel worse. "I was just agreeing with you. I would never say that."

"Uh-huh…." Kara turned back to look at the screen seeing the time when Mercy attacked L-Corp. "Oh, okay. Let's go to before Mercy attacks."

"Right there? You sure?" Mxyzptlk asked.

"Yes." Kara nodded.

"Don't mess it up." He snapped his fingers.

In a flash Kara was soon back with Leo in his office a bag of Big Belly Burger on her lap. She took a look around stunned. This was surreal.

Leo sat across from Kara and he didn't look at her the way he did now. He looked at Kara like she was the world to him. "To be honest, I didn't have much faith in politicians to begin with. I just don't think any of them can be trusted." He looked up at Kara with a stunned expression and watched as she slowly pulled out the burger. "Don't look so scandalized, Kara. You know how cynical I can be."

Kara let out a slow breath as she gathered her thoughts. She had to word this just right and she had plenty of time to think about how she should say this to Leo. Leo frowned, "Is everything okay?"

Kara set the bag down on the coffee table and rested her hands in her lap. "You shouldn't have to be so cynical. You're good and righteous, and… and the tragedy is, the world has made you cynical because you've been betrayed so many times. By your mother, by your brother…" She took in a shaky breath. "…and now, by me."

"What are you talking about?" Leo wasn't sure how Kara could have betrayed him. She'd been a wonderful girlfriend if anything he always was screwing up. Had she cheated on him? Kara slowly stood up and walked over sitting next to Leo on the couch. He turned to her as Kara was gripping her pants.

"I'm not who you think I am. I'm Supergirl." She pulled off her glasses and looked into Leo's eyes. "I never meant to deceive you. I just didn't know how to tell you." It was then that Leo's alarms began to sound. "You stay here. I'll deal with this." Kara flew out the doors to take care of Mercy and her goons. However when she came back Leo was gone.

Kara was back in her loft. "What happened? Where'd he go?"

Mxyzptlk was sitting beside Kara a pillow on his lap hugging it to his chest. "Ahh, events are unfolding differently now. Oh, boy. Um, I need to catch up." He snapped his fingers forwarding time. "Ahh there he is."

Kara blinked, "He went to Metropolis. Oh, my God. He went to see Sam." It made sense Sam was almost like a sister to Leo. He trusted her the most.

"So, Kara is Supergirl?" Sam said trying to clarify what Leo had told her.

Leo nodded, "Yeah, I know. My head's kind of spinning." He wasn't sure what to think and Sam was the only one he trusted to talk to. "When you were Reign, and I made Kryptonite to stop you. You know, in response, Supergirl was so horrible. And then, Kara was the same. She was so kind and supportive. It made me think, which was the real Kara? If the real Kara thought I was a villain… then maybe that's all I really am. I'm a monster."

Kara shook her head. "No, Leo, no! How could you ever think that?" Her behavior as Supergirl only made Leo doubt who she really was.

Sam shook her head. "Leo, you made Kryptonite to split me from Reign. And to save my life. You were never the villain. You were always the hero. And Kara is with you because she loves you."

Sam's words made Leo think clearly. "Thank you. I really needed to hear that." His head had been swimming in doubt.

Kara sighed, "The Leo in this timeline might never forgive me. He might even hate me." She looked over at Mxy who was leaning against her shoulder. "But you know what? You know what? If Sam stops him from going down a dark path, I can live with that."

Mxyzptlk shook his head his voice filled with sadness. "Except you literally can't."

"What do you mean?" Mxyzptlk snapped his fingers showing the sky was filled with Kryptonite. "Oh my God! This is the night Agent Liberty poisoned the air with Kryptonite."

"Uh, you know what?" Mxyzptlk looked at the screen as J'onn was carrying an unconscious Supergirl in his arms. "Maybe we should shut this off."

He went to snap his fingers only for Kara to refused. "No, no, no. Leo saved me the first time. He might hate me, but he'll save me again."

Mxyzptlk raised a finger up. "He wants to, but he'll never make it in time."

Kara watched desperately on the screen but Leo didn't make it in time to save her. She saw herself die on the screen. Her face went white, this was horrible. The next thing she saw was her sister visiting her grave.

"Hey, Kara. I'm sorry I missed Thanksgiving. We're just… we're so lost without you. I… am so lost without you." Alex said as she knelt beside Kara's grave and left a bag beside it. "Happy late Thanksgiving." She began to cry. She didn't think things could get any worse with this alternate reality but then they showed Leo standing at the top of L-Corp. His cheeks were wet with tears and as she stood near the edge he gritted his teeth and looked down before jumping off.

Kara gasped. "No! Please turn it off! Turn it off! I can't watch any more of this!" She said in between her sobs. "Just stop it!" The picture stopped and she took a tissue that Mxy had offered her wiping her tears. "That was horrible."

Mxy was sobbing as well, "Obviously, you don't want to stay dead. You want Leo to live as well."

"No!" This was a disaster. She made Leo feel like she didn't care for him and Leo ending up not being able to live with her death. "I have to go back further." Mxy snapped his fingers and pointed to a laptop that was sitting in her kitchen. "I get it now. My dual identities made Leo think that he couldn't trust either side of me. I was a hypocrite."

Mxyzptlk nodded, "Okay, so, when exactly did this Kryptonite-fueled tete-a-tete happen?" He sat down in a stool in the kitchen.

Kara leaned against the island, "Ahh… it was… it was, uh, just after we found out Leo was housing Reign." Mxyzptlk snapped his fingers then showing when Kara had come to save Leo from the Worldkillers only to find Sam there. "Skip forward." Mxyzptlk skipped forward to when Leo and Kara had a fight over Kryptonite. "See this fight is what I'm trying to avoid. So, go back." He motioned backward and Mxyzptlk reversed the image. Mxy stopped when Kara had asked James to see if Leo had any Kryptonite left. She groaned, "Ohhh I really shouldn't have done that. Yeah it has to be before this. We have to go back further."

"Wait stop." It showed Leo and Kara in the D.E.O just after they had taken him there after they found out Sam was Reign. "This is it, this is the moment that Leo started to distrust Supergirl." She slammed her hand against the island. "This is when I have to tell him, so… beam me up, Mxy."

"You don't have a catchphrase?" Kara shrugged. "We'll work on that." He snapped his fingers.

Kara was once again standing in front of Leo this time things would be different. They had to work out better than last time. Leo sighed, "My friend came to me. She was alone and afraid. I had to do something."

"That feeling of needing to protect your friend, no matter what the world thinks… to protect the ones you care for a love. I understand that more than you know." She let out a slow breath. "You once told me Kara Danvers was your hero."

Leo shook his head a small laugh. "I never told you that. I told…" He paused as he remembered he had told that to Kara. They had been alone and he remembered he had told her that she had been his hero.

Kara nodded. "It's me, Leo. I've always been Kara."

Leo covered his hand with his mouth as his head was spinning at this revelation. "Kara, how could you?"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

He kept everything a secret from Kara to protect her from getting hurt unnecessarily. He'd risked lying to her when it was all for nothing. If Kara had told him sooner then they could have helped Sam together. "Three weeks ago, I found out that Sam, one of my closest friends, was a homicidal Kryptonian. I went through that alone. I risked my life day after day for weeks because I believed that I was the only one who could be trusted to protect her, to save her. I could have used your help. I would have used your help if you'd bothered to tell me the truth before now. If you'd trusted me then, I wouldn't have had to go through that danger alone."

Kara lowered her head. "I'm so sorry, but I thought I was protecting you. But now, we can… we can move past it and work as partners and we can work on us."

Leo shook his head. "You expect me to be your partner after this? To be your boyfriend when all you've done is prove to me that you can't be trusted at all? That you didn't trust me enough to tell me this sooner. Before we started a relationship, Kara."

Another failure did she have to go back even further or would things work out between them in this alternate reality. It was then that the eclipse began and Kara began to sway. "Oh no." Mxyzptlk pulled Kara out and she was back in the safety of her loft.

Kara was still unsteady and gasping for air as she leaned against the island in the kitchen. "I forgot. The Worldkillers started an eclipse that day."

Mxyzptlk had his hand covering his face. "Ummmm so, you forgot the eclipse… and then, you also forgot the Kryptonite bomb." He raised his head up. "You know what we're not gonna do? We're not gonna rely on your memory anymore for maybe, like, big, important details." Kara scoffed taken aback. Her memory was excellent she was just under a lot of stress as of late so she forgot a few things. Mxyzptlk shrugged, "Just sayin'. We're gonna try this. He began to fast forward how things played out.

Kara waved her hand trying to prevent Mxyzptlk from skipping ahead too much. "No, just let this play out a bit, because in the original version of events Leo helped me and the D.E.O to fight the Worldkillers. I know he's upset right now, but he's gonna help us."

Mxyzptlk extended his hand to the laptop screen. "Welcome to the bizarro version where he does not help the D.E.O, like right here."

"What?! Oh god, no. If Leo doesn't help us fight the Worldkillers, then-" Then they'd lose and the world would be destroyed.

"Yep." He began to fast forward then.

"What, wait, wait. You're skipping a lot!"

Mxyzptlk sighed, "This is all exposition, so much exposition."

"Well hold on! Wait! Was that Mon-El?" Why did he even end up staying? He went back to the future soon after their first encounter with the Worldkillers.

"Yes." Mxyzptlk leaned his head against his hand.

"So, he didn't god back to the future?" Kara then realized why he hadn't and smacked her hand against the island as a light bulb went off. "Of course. If we didn't defeat Pestilence, then he would have been there with us when we went to Sam's mom's house. Can you… can you snap me in there? I want to get his perspective." Mon-El was always someone she could talk to for advice. If things had been different they might have ended up together.

"I never understood what you saw in him." Mxyzptlk mused before he snapped his fingers.

Mon-El turned to Kara. "We should take up defensive positions."

"No, wait. Umm, I need your advice." Mon-El had become a much better man, and Kara could talk to him. She needed another set of eyes on this situation with Leo. "I finally told Leo I'm Supergirl."

"Wow! How… how did he take it?" Mon-El asked as he stepped toward Kara.

Kara shook her head. "Not well." She sighed and threw her arms up in defeat. "And I don't blame him. I mean, I'm supposed to be his girlfriend, and I… I lied and betrayed him just like everyone else in his life has. So, what do I do?" She remembered clearly when she had been so upset at Mon-El for lying to her about who he was. Now her she was doing the same with Leo.

Mon-El he nodded his lips pursed together, "You know, Leo and I have a lot in common. We've both been betrayed by our own families. And when the people who are supposed to love you the most let you down, it just makes you feel so… so vulnerable, you know? But my mother and the Luthors, they betrayed Leo for their own selfish reasons. They… they wanted to take advantage of him. You lied to… to protect him. Because you love him. I know Leo's hurting right now, but… once he understands that… he'll forgive you."

Kara sighed, "I hope you're right. But I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself."

"You know its okay to mess up, right?" He'd messed up multiple times with Kara in the past and she forgave him. "No matter how many mistakes I've made, you've always forgiven me. You should, uh, know that you deserve the same compassion that you show others." Leo would eventually forgive Kara and if he didn't, he was an idiot for not doing so.

Reign was just a furious as Kara remembered and as Kara and Mon-El fought her they ended up outside. Reign hissed as she had Sam's mother, her arm gripping around her neck. "You really thought you could stop me, Supergirl? You can't even protect this one pathetic human." She then cried out painfully as a blast of energy hit Reign in the back and she tumbled to the ground.

"But I can." Leo said as he walked up holding a device in his hand. "Because this is the tool I use to bring Reign out and bury you down. Come back to us, Sam!"

Reign gasped, "I will kill you all!"

"No, you won't!" Leo hissed and shot another beam hitting Reign in the chest. Reign collapsed onto the ground. Sam's mother rushed toward her calling out her name.

Sam opened her eyes her voice shaking. "Leo! What happened?" Sam's mother held Sam close to her.

Kara grinned, "You did it! You saved Sam."

Leo turned to Kara and smiled he walked toward her and stepped in front of her. "Yeah, and I did it without Kryptonite." His eyes widened as he felt pain lash out as Reign's heat beam hit Leo's back. He grunted and fell forward moments later into Kara's arms. His body was limp Reign had killed him instantly.

"Fool! I am a Worldkiller and I cannot be stopped!" She shouted. Mon-El yelled out and took the device Leo had and charged at Reign he shot the beam hitting her right into her neck. Reign fired her heat beam into Mon-El's chest. The energy from the beam and Reign's heat vision caused a shock wave causing them to both fall back dead.

Kara was shaking, her arms still gripping Leo tightly. "Mxy they're all dead! Please get me out of here."

Every time she attempted to fix things she got a better understanding of how Leo felt. Kara began to pace back and forth in her loft. "Leo was never angry about hypocrisy. He was angry because I never shared my identity with him in the first place." She turned to face Mxyzptlk, "So, you know what that means? We have to go back to the very beginning."

Mxyzptlk nodded, "Give me a date and a time, I will make it so."

"Umm let me think…"

Mxyzptlk sighed, "Hang on a second. It's just…" He picked the laptop up to show Kara the screen and a continuous spinning loading icon. "It's buffering. This happens sometimes. It's the interdimensional Wi-Fi. You know what it doesn't even matter. I've got your entire relationship on BetaMyx." He snapped his fingers and then appeared behind the television looking at various BetaMyx tapes. "So, when did the two of you become friends?"

Kara made her way toward Mxy. "It was… right about when Leo moved to National City." She picked up one tape looking at the label.

"You have had a lot of adventures." He motioned down toward the television screen and soon it began to show many early moments between Kara and Leo. They had just met and were becoming friends. "Getting closer but oh here…" Mxy stopped fast forwarding and showed when Kara was giving a flash drive to Leo when information leaked about L-Corp. Kara pointed toward the screen. "This was right before Leo and I really became friends. See, he's about to say, 'I didn't come here to make friends.' He didn't want to let anyone in, and then, when he did, I made the mistake of not letting him in too." She took a deep breath and then looked to Mxy a firm resolve in her eyes. "This time, I'm gonna do it right."

"Bye." Mxy snapped his fingers sending Kara back to this moment.

"I didn't come here to make friends." Leo came here to make a name for himself outside his family. He'd trusted too many people too many times.

"I wanna show you something."

Leo shook his head. "I'm really busy, so if we could just-" Before Leo could even get the words out of his mouth Kara flew out the window toward his balcony. His mouth dropped as his eyes were fixed on the balcony and that Kara Danvers had just flown out of it. She flew, she was she was Supergirl! She came back in an instant and landed right back in front of his desk. "It's you!" He stood up from his desk making his way toward her. "Kara Danvers is Supergirl."

"Yeah." Kara nodded. Leo didn't seem upset, did she finally find the perfect moment to tell him.

"I can't believe I was fooled by a pair of glasses." Leo ran a hand though his hair his mind still racing that Supergirl was standing in front of him.

"Don't worry, a lot of people are." Kara said.

"Oh, God, I have to recall all those alien detection devices cause they clearly don't work." Leo began to laugh. All this time Supergirl was standing right in front of him and he didn't even know it.

"You're not angry?"

Leo shook his head a smile on his face. "No, it's incredible! You're incredible!" Why had she told him, they hardly knew each other. "But…why are you trusting me with such a big secret? You barely know me."

"Because I know that what you want more than anything is to do good. And I know it's hard for you to trust people, but I need you to know now, without a doubt, I trust you." Kara gave a firm nod. "My cousin, your brother, they got it wrong. Imagine what we could do together." Kara smiled, "A Luthor and a Super, working together as a team."

Leo grinned, "If we were partners, we could change the world." Kara extended her hand out toward Leo and Leo firmly took her hand and they shook. She had finally got it right, she could keep Leo. She wouldn't lose him because of her mistake.

Mxy was very excited and began to say in an announcer voice, "Only months after publicly declaring their partnership, the formidable duo of Supergirl and Leo Luthor have already cleaned up National City's criminal element. This pair is literally unstoppable! Not to mention, fashionable, after Leo convinced Supergirl to cut the hair of steel, and gave her a new suit to boot. But their next adversary is Lillian Luthor herself, and this time, their battleground is a courtroom. Emotions! Drama! Will they persevere?"

Kara hit the side of the television, "Mxy, can you please take this seriously?" She had to make sure this ended up perfectly. This was her last chance to make things right.

"Take it seriously because every party needs a pooper, and that's why we invited Kara." Mxy said as he had a microphone in one hand.

"Really?" Kara rolled her eyes.

"If we're gonna take the fun out of stuff, let's really do it." He snapped his fingers showing the courtroom scene on the television.

"And what is Supergirl's real name?" The attorney questioned Leo.

"I hardly see how that's relevant." Leo shot back.

"Citizens have the right to know the name of the officer that arrests them. If Supergirl is gonna act like judge and jury, we should know her name as well." Leo's eyes rested upon Kara as she was in the back of the courtroom. He'd never betray her secret even if it meant losing the case against his mother.

"I plead the Fifth."

Kara leaned forward toward the television amazed, "This is incredible! The last time Lillian was on trial, the whole world suspected Leo of working with her, but having Supergirl as a partner it gives Leo the credibility his last name never could. This is it." She had found the perfect moment and then Leo wouldn't be upset with her anymore. "This is the timeline where I truly do no harm to Leo, and the world sees him for the hero he really is." Kara had a huge smile on her face as she continued to watch the events of the timeline unfold.

Her smiled faltered however as she saw a familiar face. "Oh no is that Lockwood?"

Lockwood was walked up toward Leo, "You knew my father, Pete Lockwood?"

"You're Ben." Leo soon recognized the man. "We were sourcing our steel from his factory, and then he abruptly closed it."

Lockwood shook his head. "No, he didn't close it. He converted it to a church."

Leo sighed. "The Cult of Rao." Kara had made attempts to prevent them from thinking she was a God but they were convinced she was someone to worship. "I'm so sorry, Ben. If Supergirl and I can do anything to help your father-"

Lockwood interrupted Leo, "You can't, because he's dead. My father, my wife, my only son, George, they jumped off a roof because they believed" He scoffed. "That she would save them. She didn't."

"I'm so sorry, Ben." Leo knew how upset Kara was over the fact these people were risking their lives on the hope that she'd rescue them all. Kara wasn't a God and she didn't save everyone. Sometimes you just couldn't. "If there's anything I can do to help—"

"Well, you could tell me who Supergirl is. She parades around as a god, but she hides in plain sight as a human. Mr. Luthor, if… if people knew who she was, if they knew that she bought a coffee in the morning or that she rode the bus or that she worked a job just like the rest of us, then they would stop worshiping her." Lockwood pleaded. "So, I have to know who she is. And you are going to tell me."

"It's never going to happen." Leo said firmly. He would not betray Kara's identity, it was not his secret to tell. It was Kara's choice. He felt pity for Lockwood but eventually the people would realize that Supergirl wasn't a God and they'd stop worshiping her. He began to walk away from Lockwood. "And if you have issues with eh Cult of Rao, I suggest you take it up with Coville." Before he could make his way out however his security guard stepped in front of him stopping him.

Lock wood opened the door to a black van nearby. "Oh I already have." Leo saw Coville tied up in the back of the van. The next thing he saw was Otis Graves appear in front of him using his image inducers to disguise himself. Lockwood and Otis pushed Leo into the back of the van kidnapping him.

Lockwood had Leo and Coville trapped in an undisclosed location. Otis was working a camera to broadcast a message to Supergirl. Lockwood was yelling at the camera. "Thomas Coville wants you to believe that National City's resident Kryptonian is someone worth worshiping, worth dying for. Is Supergirl a god? I'm not sure about that. Not sure about that. When she goes home at night, did you know that she lives a secret human life? Until today. Until today, because today, Supergirl will reveal her identity to the world, or Coville and Mr. Luthor will die." Lockwood motioned toward his two prisoners.

Leo yelled, "No! Supergirl, don't do it!" She couldn't do so, it was too great a risk. Too great a cost, everyone would be put in danger. He loved Kara but if this was the end then so be it. His life for her safety was worth it. Don't risk saving him by doing what Lockwood wanted.

Lockwood continued. "So, Supergirl, one hour of breathable oxygen left, the clock starts now." He hit a timer, starting the countdown.

They were back at the D.E.O and it seemed they had no luck being able to trace any signal or find where Lockwood had taken them. Winn shook his head. "I can't trace the signal."

"Look, some lone wolf shouldn't have the resources to thwart our trackers." Lockwood didn't have the tech to block them. Yet he did.

"He must have powerful help." J'onn said.

"Yeah, help spelled L-E-X." Winn was disgusted but not surprised who else would have motive to get back at Leo and find out Supergirl's identity.

"If that's the case, then we are never gonna find him." Alex admitted. Kara shut her eyes tightly and her hand gripped the edge of the table crunching the metal edge. She turned on her heels and walked out onto the balcony.

"Stay here, I got it." Winn went after Kara and as he walked out onto the balcony Kara shook her head her hand leaning against the railing as he looked at Winn.

"Every morning when I wake up I imagine this moment. The moment where being Supergirl gets someone I love killed. And I have to push that fear so far down or I…" Kara's voice cracked as she struggled to keep her emotions in control. "I can't get out of bed." Her eyes were welled up with tears. "But now, here it is. My greatest fear, just staring me right in the face." She sighed, "I have to save Leo. I… I have to, but if I tell the world who I am, then I put everyone else I love at even greater risk. Alex, J'onn, James, you. What if one of you gets hurt?"

"Don't worry about the rest of us, okay? We're gonna be fine. No, Leo is the one that needs your help right now. We can take care of ourselves… because you taught us how." Winn knew how much Kara cared about Leo and they all wanted Leo to be safe. If Kara had to tell the world her identity then she would to save her friends and to save the man she loved. Lockwood had honored his word and Kara had saved Leo. She had made it just in time.

Kara let out a sigh of relief as the turn of events seemed to be resolved happily. No one died. "I've always been so afraid to reveal my identity to the world, but look, it saved Leo. Maybe…" She bit her lower lip gently, "Just maybe, this… this is the timeline to stick with. Let's…" She leaned her chin against her hands as she considered the options.

Mxy's sighed, "I see why you would think that, but, um, maybe we should skip ahead to the ending?"

"Oh, no what happens?" Mxy snapped his fingers and Kara watched her heart sinking as it was revealed that Lockwood had killed all of her friends. "What no. All right, all right enough. Stop." She shut her eyes firmly closed. "I don't want to see anymore. Please turn it off, please." Mxy stopped the television. Kara held her head in her hands. "It doesn't matter when I tell Leo the truth. It always makes things worse. I think I've been too scared to admit it to myself, but…" She let out a shaky breath. "I think Leo would be better off if he and I never met."

"Is that the world you wanna see?"

"No." Kara turned to Mxy, she couldn't save Leo, couldn't save their relationship. "Please just show me anyway." Mxy snapped his fingers however he actually brought them both into the new reality that Kara had asked to see. "What happened?" They were brought to a building that was complete rubble. "Where are we?"

"Where your loft used to be."

Kara noticed out of the corner of her eye the picture of Superman she had owned it was the only surviving thing from her loft. It was somewhat burned and crumbled. "You know what? No thanks. Nope. I don't need to see it. Can you just snap us out of here?"

Mxy nodded, "Yep, with pleasure." He snapped his fingers however nothing happened. He began to snap his fingers again and again trying to snap them out of this reality.

"What's happening?"

"I can't feel the Fifth Dimension at all. Without my powers—"

"We're stuck here?!"

This world was a disaster but at least some good people survived. As long as Mxy got the hat to get his Fifth Dimension powers back then they could be out of here. Still Kara found herself looking for Leo as she walked in his headquarters. "Leo!" She called out. "It's me. It's Supergirl. It's Kara." She continued to walk inside the dark room with dark red lights the only thing illuminating the room.

"Who's Kara?" Leo's voice was low and devoid of any emotion. Kara's head turned to the voice seeing Leo sitting in a nearby chair.

"Just a friend." She replied as her breathing quickened. "You don't know me. Not really. But you and I want the same thing… to do no harm."

Leo stood up walking into the light his longer locks of hair were cut, sporting a short haircut. There was a scar across his face, on the right side of his face from his eye over his nose. He was dressed completely in black. "Supergirl wants a world without harm. That's rich. Where were you when my brother blew my helicopter out of the sky? When my mother dragged my broken body to a laboratory and experimented on me instead of fixing me?" Leo snarled baring his teeth. "Where were you when this world was ripped apart by the seams? Where were you?"

"I'm sorry I wasn't there when it mattered."

"So am I." He pulled the lead lined jacket he was wearing open revealing a chunk of Kryptonite in Leo's chest. Kara instantly felt the effects of the Kryptonite groaning painfully. Leo narrowed his eyes before shooting a beam of Kryptonite out from his chest and it hit Kara squarely in the chest. Her body went flying though the glass and into the next room. Leo walked in toward Kara who was struggling to get up. Leo knelt in front of her. "You don't know the first thing about pain." He grabbed the locks of her hair tightly. "But I do." He pulled tightly slamming her down onto the floor. "I can show you, make you feel what I feel."

"I won't fight you Leo." Kara knew this wasn't her Leo but still a part of her wondered if her Leo could become like this. Be a villain, he was capable of anything.

Leo smirked he let his grip go and stood up onto his feet. "Then you'll die screaming." He fired a beam of Kryptonite energy at Kara and she screamed as it struck her body.

Mxy snapped them back to Kara's loft rescuing them both just in time. Kara sighed. "We're home." She collapsed on the couch. "Holy Cow! That was the most emotionally draining experience of my life, and let me tell ya, I've had some doozies."

Mxy wiped his brow before giving a clap. "So, it ain't over till it's over. So, now, we've gotta find a time for you to go back and tell Leo the truth. You ready for one more go?" He extended his hand out ready to snap again.

Kara shook her head. "No! Absolutely not! I realize now that it doesn't matter when I tell Leo the truth. There will always be consequences." She extended her hands out, "Huge ones! If I can't go back and snap my mistakes away, I'm just gonna have to live with them."

Mxy nodded, "Oh, boy. Okay."

"I know it didn't turn out the way we expected but you…you still helped me, Mxy. You freed me from my burden of guilt, so…" Kara stood up and handed Mxy the tape recorder. "Go, be free. Use your magic to do whatever it is you do."

Mxy smiled softly and took the tape recorder from Kara. "Thank you and umm I should say, uh…before I met you, I was, umm…I was pretty lonely. You know, and in that pain, I… I would tend to sort of force myself…on people and umm." He wasn't used to expressing himself this way to people but with Kara he felt a real moment with her. A moment where he felt he belong. "Out there with you today, saving the world I felt like, umm…I felt like I was liked, for being me. I felt like I had friends. And, uh, it's true what you said Kara. That magic… can't be forced. It has to be found."

Kara smiled, "I'm proud of you, Mxy. Thanks for everything."

Mxy gave a small bow of his head. "You're welcome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Mardi Gras in the '80s. The 1780s." He smirked before snapping his fingers and away Mxy went.

Kara smiled gently shaking her head it was then that she noticed Mxy had left one tape behind. She walked over toward the television and picked up the tape reading the description on the tape, 'The One Where Leo Decided To Work With Lex'. Her connection with Leo was lost, he pushed her away no matter how often she apologized. She had to let him go, she had to let go of her guilt. He didn't chose her and she couldn't force him to come to terms with what she'd done. No Leo had to resolve his feelings on his own. No matter how much it hurt she still had to tell him how she felt, she had to move on without him. She set the tape back down on the table.

So far his night had been rather peaceful; he'd made progress on Project Non Nocere. So far Lex had behaved himself; he had helped him when he had asked for it. Still Leo didn't trust him completely and as soon as he could he took Lex's transmatter portal watch and placed a tracker inside. At least this way he'd know where his brother would go if he ever used the watch.

Tonight however he received another visitor he heard the familiar sound and recognized that Supergirl was here before he even looked up. His eyes rested upon Supergirl and she walked in from his balcony. He began to walk toward her. "Let me guess you're here to tell me once again that I should forgive you or maybe that I shouldn't work with my brother." It was almost like a broken record, but he was used to hearing it by now.

Supergirl shook her head. "Not this time. I recognize I made a mistake in hiding my identity from you for so long. But the past is the past and I can't change it. Forgive me or not that's your choice. Just like it's your choice to work with Lex. I'm done blaming myself for your bad decisions." Her eyes resting on the man she loved, the man who she had to let go. The one she had to move on from because he made a choice to not chose her. Not be with her.

Leo hadn't expected this, she wasn't asking for forgiveness anymore. He could tell just by her stance that she had come to terms with her mistake. Her voice held firmness, a strength that hadn't been there before. No this was different; this wasn't the women he loved begging for forgiveness anymore. "Then why are you here?"

Supergirl took in a deep breath and looked straight into Leo's eyes. "To tell you that from now on you're accountable for your own actions if you decide to forgive me then I will be there for you. But if you continue to work with Lex if you go through with whatever it is the two of you are planning. I will do everything in my power to stop you." She backed away back onto the balcony. If he truly didn't want to be with her, to not love her then so be it. She wanted him to come back to her but Leo refused. She couldn't keep blaming herself anymore. "Just like I would any other villain." She then took off into the air leaving Leo alone.

His stood there frozen, his eyes resting upon where Supergirl had been a moment before. Was this a mistake? Was he turning into a villain? He closed his eyes, no he was trying to do good. He was trying to fix humankind not destroy it. He'd prove to Supergirl that he wasn't the villain.

He had to make sure everything was perfect before he even attempted to progress toward human trials. Leo had a small dog and a Maladorian Dendroasp trapped in a cage with a divider. He activated the device incepting them both and then released the divider that separated them. The Maladorian Dendroasp gently snuggled up against the dog. Leo smiled, that was a good sign. "Well, isn't that cute? I wasn't aware a Maladorian Dendroasp could show any restraint."

Leo glanced up at Lex and then walked back over toward his computer. "Well you two share a lot in common."

Lex smiled, "Hummm, Non Nocere does what God couldn't. Turns the most ferocious animal instincts into do no harm. So far, all of your animal trials have produced perfect results."

Leo examined the results of the test, examining the brain waves. "Yeah, but the human brain is far more complex and I've yet to test it to see that it's working just as perfectly. Can't have any critics pouncing on any mistakes." Supergirl and her friends, especially Supergirl, no it had to be perfect. So he could show her, prove to her that he wasn't a villain.

Lex stepped toward Leo before standing next to his younger brother. "Hum that has a bit of a personal ring to it. Let me guess. Your biggest critic is a Kryptonian?"

Leo gave a nod and leaned his hands against the desk. "Before crisis, when I tried to use Myriad, she assumed that I was trying to mind control people. Her and her friends think I'm going down a dark path."

"They think you've turned into me or Mother." Lex sighed, "But you haven't… tragically."

"Can you imagine what it would be like if humanity didn't succumb to terror, rage and worry? We would be the best versions of ourselves. Be creative. Be free." They'd be free of pain, free of being hurt over and over.

"Utopia."

"Exactly! But Supergirl and her friends just can't accept that I don't want to puppet master humanity." Lex was the only one who he could talk to about this, he had no one else. Talking to someone about how he felt was better than keeping it all inside.

Lex smiled his brother just needed a push in the general direction his work with Q-waves would assist in his own experiments. He just needed a little time before he could convince Leo to focus his efforts on destroying the Kryptonians. That'd take time, still he hated Kara. He just needed his brother to hate her enough so they could remove her out of the equation. "Since I anticipated you being ready for the next phase of testing, I took the liberty of setting up a trial at that cute little prison we own. Willing subjects waiting for a chance to be better people. There's a car waiting for you downstairs." He paused as his phone began to ring and after pulling it out of his pocket waved at Leo, "Gotta go. Duty calls."

At first the testing at the prison was fine and then everything went wrong. He growled as he read the words simulation fail on the screen and he smacked the computer screen. "I'd say go easy on that thing but if it takes the pressure off, you may as well."

Leo turned sharply on his heels facing Lex. "It went horrible Lex. Sure it makes violent people calm but it makes the non-violent people become trapped in all their emotions. It makes them want to lash out!" He shook his head, this was all a mistake. "Do you remember when you turned the sun red, what you told me? You told me that you were doing it for the good of the human race. You deluded yourself into thinking you were saving us, when you were really killing us. And maybe I'm just as deluded as you are." Kara was right, he was turning into a villain and he didn't even know it.

Lex snorted, "I haven't been deluded a day in my life. You want to know what I remember? You showed up at my office with the Man of Tomorrow award. It was the last time you were ever proud of me. We had just made first contact with an alien race and you didn't care. You didn't see the threat. You just wanted to focus on the more philanthropic efforts of Luthor Corp. And I fired you for it." His brother was discouraged and rethinking his plans. That would only send him back into the arms of Supergirl. He suppressed the urge to vomit at the thought.

Leo sighed, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you're going down the same path I did, and you are better than that. Superman was my downfall. I let my obsession with destroying him drive me off-course, but now I have a second chance to do things the right way, with you." Lex stepped toward Leo and placed his hand on Leo's shoulder.

"Non Nocere was supposed to liberate people, not take away their free will. But all I've managed to do is to trap people in their own bodies with their ugliest inclinations. Maybe I have gone down a dark path." Leo

Lex shook his head. His brother still cared about what Supergirl thought. What on Earth did his brother even see in that Kryptonian? "Don't let your obsessions with what Supergirl thinks get in your way. You can't change what's in her heart any more than you can change mine. But unlike her, I believe in what you're doing. We'll figure this out together, and I'm not leaving until we do." Lex stepped past Leo and went toward the computer.

It wasn't over yet, Leo stood next to his brother. "Well we should get to work then."
