Leo's eyes were glued to the floor as he was leaning against a table. After the prison riot and Non Nocere once again failing Leo realized all this was a mistake. He'd wasted all his time and effort on this just because he had been hurt. He didn't know how to deal with it and took this pointless crusade to fix humanity. He could hear the sound of Lex's footsteps as he walked into the room. "Peace at last. It took a bit of persuading, but the prisoners have been pacified and neutralized. They're ready for the next round." Leo stood up walking toward the servers and he ripped a module out and slammed it down onto the floor.

"Non Nocere is dead." He kicked the rest of the servers down and they crashed onto the floor. "It doesn't work." He growled. "It can't. It never could." He had deluded himself into believing that it could. "Pain is a necessary part of being human, of life. I was delusional to think that I could save people, or fix it." He walked toward his brother and stopped in front of him. "Humanity will always try to protect itself, to evolve. You can't stop that. You saw Steve, how helpless he was, all because of me." He pointed to himself.

Lex took a deep breath, "I was rooting for you, Leo. But, I have to agree. Humanity can't be fixed." Finally his brother had come to terms with this, now he could steer his brother to actually helping him and doing what was necessary. "They need to be controlled. Leviathan may be our biggest threat, but they were right about one thing. Humanity needs a firm hand to guide it. To lead it." He shook his head. "And not some arrogant alien. It needs to be human."

Leo watched his brother and he knew exactly what he meant, he wanted to lead. His brother was showing his true intentions now. "You mean, a Luthor. You."

"Think of all that we could accomplish together, if we just take our rightful place as humanity's saviors."

Leo laughed softly, "Saviors? You never change. This was always, all about you…" His brother just pretended to care, to be supportive all so he could use him again. It was never going to be different, it was always going to be like this. "…your megalomania. You… knew my plan wouldn't work, that it was doomed. You were counting on it. All so you could manipulate me into helping you rule humanity!"

Lex snapped and he took both of his hands grabbing Leo firmly by the collar he pulled hard yelling into his face. "How dare you! I gave you the world! Everything! I supported you! I sabotaged nothing, touched nothing! I set aside my own goals for you! Because you needed to see your little project fail with your own eyes! To know the true depravity of humanity! To know that my way was the only way!"

Leo grabbed Lex's hands and growled. "You're a monster. But that doesn't mean I have to be one, too." He pulled his brothers hands off of him and went to leave but he heard his brother yelling after him. Causing Leo to stop in his tracks.

"What are you going to do? Crawl back to that disgusting Kryptonian?! Why the hell do you insist on being with that alien!?" Lex snapped.

"You know I've hurt her… I've crushed her heart. I've constantly tried to tell myself that I hate her. I'm a fool, I am utterly in love with that woman. It just took me too long to realize how much I need her. I've never had anyone stand by my side like her. She's always been there… either as Supergirl or Kara. I pushed her away when I needed her there. She is the one thing in my life that is good and righteous in this world. I just never thought that they'd be the same person." His brother knew that truth would crush him, he knew of the abuse he'd suffered. Of the betrayal he'd experienced. "This woman is someone who's deep in my very soul. It always has been her and it always will be her. In the end I will always chose her because she is everything! I was just too blind to see it!" Leo walked away from his older brother leaving him standing in the lab. He had to set things right with Kara, but he didn't know if he could earn her forgiveness. It might be too late, after all he'd done he was scared that he had lost her. Lost her forever, if only he'd realized what he was doing sooner. He couldn't change that though, he had to struggle on with his mistakes.


Leo knocked on Kara's door and when she opened she backed away from the door. She didn't invite him in, yet she didn't turn him away either. Leo stepped in and shut the door behind him standing just inside her loft. She said nothing to him but crossed her arms and her eyes rested on Leo waiting for him to speak. "I have made a terrible mistake. I was hurt. I was so consumed by the pain that I… I thought I could get rid of the hurt. I thought that I knew better, that I could make the world a better place. But I was wrong." He paused swallowing thickly, there was nothing to do except explain and hope that Kara believed him. "That hurt took me down a dark, dark path, where I was blind to what I was really doing, to what I'd become. You were right. This whole time I became a villain, and then… I'm not looking for forgiveness. I know what I said and I know what I did, but I am… I am really hoping that you will believe me right now. Lex is working with Leviathan, and they are going to use Obsidian to do something terrible…using the system, that I made with my project. I didn't know I was helping them, but I did. And…now I want to help stop them, so…please. I want to help stop Lex and Leviathan."

Could she really trust Leo? She'd seen this before, one moment he was sincere and then next he lashed out. Still what choice did she have? The D.E.O was destroyed, Leviathan had Kryptonite and there was no way she'd be able to survive them. She'd told him that she'd be there for him but she doubted that he was genuine. She could at least hear him out. Kara pulled out a chair from the table. "Sit down." Leo let out a slow breath that was a step forward he sat down in the chair Kara quickly sent a text to Alex simply saying 911. This was an emergency, if Lex and Leviathan really were planning something tonight then they had to find a way to stop them.

Leo explained everything he knew, about his brother. How his work with Q-waves only assisted his brother in his plans of trying to kill Kara. Then Lex working with Leviathan, it felt good to explain everything he knew. He'd kept everything bottled up inside that he felt relief to finally tell Kara everything. "Thank you for letting me in Kara. It's been a year and I still haven't come to terms with what I did. Shot my brother… I mean, I thought I was protecting everyone but it really started all this—"

Kara cut him off her voice was firm and she extended her hand outward Leo shutting him down. "I don't want to talk about the past. All that matters now is the threat ahead of us and how we are going to stop it."

Leo gave a nod and cleared his throat, "Understood." She'd told him once that if he had turned around that she'd be there for him. He'd damaged his relationship, his trust with Kara. She didn't know if he'd turn on her a moment later. He'd given his condolences and then the very next day they argued about Myriad. He could do the same thing again here.

Leo jumped when Alex bust in the door with Nia and J'onn following right behind her. Leo jumped up onto his feet raising his hands up in the air as Alex pointed a gun at him and yelled. "Get down on the ground, now."

Kara immediately stepped in front of Leo. "No, Alex no."

"You texted 911!" Alex looked confused.

Kara sighed, "Not about him. He's here to help us stop Lex and Leviathan."

"Oh." Alex lowered her gun then.

Leo sighed and slowly lowered his hands; Alex Danvers was a woman he didn't want to get upset. He hadn't seen her since he broke up with Kara. Alex was protective of Kara and she would keep an eye on Leo. He'd hurt her sister too much and wasn't about to let him do so again or she'd hurt him.

After Alex put her weapon away Leo explained what he knew of Lex's plan which wasn't much. Lex kept things close to his chest. J'onn crossed his arms over his chest. "So Lex and Leviathan are planning something using the Obsidian Virtual reality platform?"

Leo nodded, "And my tech likely made that possible." More than likely it was guaranteed that Lex was using his work on Q-waves for his own projects. His brother wouldn't waste all of his time on his project if he wasn't going to gain something from it.

"That must be why Rama Khan went after the D.E.O's Kryptonite." Alex replied, if they had the Kryptonite then they could prevent Kara from interrupting their plans.

Nia sighed, "To keep Supergirl from interfering."

Kara was frustrated; they'd lost the D.E.O, now Leviathan had Kryptonite. She could handle Kryptonite; she's been dealing with the pain and effects of Kryptonite all her life. "Well the joke's on Rama Khan and his big dumb gladiator outfit, because I have already defeated him once."

J'onn cautioned Kara. "Don't be rash, Kara. He's tied to the Earth. Which means he can track your slightest movements. If you use your powers even once, he will sense them. And attack."

M'gann agreed with J'onn, now was not the time to react emotionally, they needed a plan. "With all that Kryptonite at his fingertips, he could kill you."

Kara extended her hands out toward J'onn, M'gann, Alex, and Nia. "You guys will protect me."

"Just like we protected the D.E.O?" Alex's words brought silence to the group. It was a crushing defeat, the D.E.O in a pile of rubble. Many of the agents were killed and they couldn't do anything to stop it from happening.

Leo shook his head. "It's not checkmate." Everyone's eyes now focused on Leo. "Not yet. I haven't made Kara an anti-Kryptonite suit in this world. But I could." He looked toward Kara. "I just need to get you safely to my lab." If he could build Kara that suit then, they'd have a chance. A chance to fix things. Kara was more than capable of taking care of Leviathan if she had a fair fight.

"Your lab is across the city. And Kara can't use her powers." Alex didn't see how they were going to get her sister to Leo's lab undetected. Perhaps if it were closer then they'd have a chance.

J'onn rubbed his chin as he thought and raised his index finger up. "We could get her there. If we had the right distraction."

M'gann grinned and raised an eyebrow at J'onn. "Or the right decoys."

The Martian quickly shook his head. "No, no, no way! Absolutely not! I can tell those pants will chafe." All M'gann did was give J'onn a look and the Martian groaned, "Fine…" Before Leo knew it J'onn and M'gann transformed into Supergirl. Leo raised an eyebrow curiously, had they done this before? They were both looking in a mirror M'gann seemed pleased as she turned looking at her transformed self in the mirror. J'onn grimaced. "Ugh! I was right."

M'gann had a huge smile on her face. "I quite like it."

Nia was definitely amused and entertained by the scene of J'onn and M'gann looking exactly like Supergirl. You couldn't tell at all that they were fake. "This is just like the beginning of Deathly Hallows."

Kara frowned, "Moody and Hedwig died!"

M'gann sighed at hearing about Moody and Hedwig dying. Not realizing that these were characters and not real people. "You lost comrades in battle? My condolences."

"No, it's…" Kara began to explain but shook her head. "Never mind." Explaining that these two were actually fictional and not real would take more time than what they had. It'd also only serve to embarrass M'gann who was only trying to be comforting.

J'onn placed his hands on his hips. "Dreamer and I will draw Rama Khan out in Courtney Park. M'gann, Alex, you move across the rooftops to cover us."

"While they're distracting Leviathan, you and I will make our way to Luthor-Corp." Leo told Kara as they were rehashing the plan. They'd take the bus; no one would expect Supergirl to take a bus. They both needed to lay low. Everyone was in agreement over the plan, now hopefully there were no hiccups.

Alex took Kara's hand. "Come here, I have to show you something." Kara looked confused as Alex led her into her room in her loft and pulled the curtain closed. "Okay, stay right there." Alex soon revealed her new super suit, the black and green material materializing over Alex's body. Alex grinned as Kara's mouth dropped and then she began to scream in delight. "J'onn made it for me."

J'onn, M'gann, Nia, and Leo rushed in hearing Kara's scream and when J'onn pulled the curtain back everything was fine. No one was in any danger. Kara grinned. "She looks great!"

J'onn let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, it was a scream of delight. Thank H'ronmeer."

"Well we should probably get going. Stay safe out there." Kara looked to her friends; she hoped that nothing would happen to any of them. She wouldn't know what to do with herself if anyone got hurt… or worse.


Kara was pacing in Leo's lab unable to sit still until she heard from someone about how the distraction went. Her not hearing back yet only gave her more unease. She should have been there, she shouldn't have let them do this alone.

Leo already had the suit building but calming Kara down was easier said than done. "The suit won't be ready for at least another few hours. But I'm doing everything in my power to speed it along."

Kara didn't respond to Leo but as soon as she heard Alex's voice she rushed toward her sister. "Hey."

"What happened?" Kara asked frantic.

"It's not just Rama Khan out there. There's three of them, each with a different element-bending power." Alex explained.

Leo only saw Alex but no one else. Had the others been hurt? "Where are the others?" Leo asked.

Alex took in a deep breath. "J'onn was injured. M'gann and Dreamer took him back to the tower."

Kara immediately felt guilty. "I should have been there, fighting alongside you, I'm sorry."

Alex gently placed her hands on Kara's arms giving them a soft squeeze. "Kara, it's okay. We all still have our ears." Her cell phone rang and Alex went to answer it. "Kelly, hey." There was silence as Kelly began to speak with Alex on the other side of the line.

Kara bit her lower lip before she used her super-hearing, spying in on Kelly and Alex's conversation. At hearing Kelly say that William was going after Eve Tessmacher her eyes widened. "William went after Eve alone?!"

Alex narrowed her eyes. "No super-hearing."

"Sorry." Kara frowned.

"Eve Tessmacher? She's back?" Leo exclaimed however Alex and Kara didn't respond to Leo. If Eve was back in this new world than she was a dangerous woman. Working with Lex once again, at least he didn't have Eve as his assistant this time around.

Alex gave a small nod as she talked over the phone. "Look, I'll get to you as soon as I can." She hung up then and Kara stepped up closer toward her sister.

"Hey, if this Eve is working with Lex, William has no idea the danger he's in. I… Alex, I have to do something. I can't just sit here. I have to help him, somehow." Kara never meant to get William involved in this situation but William was a reporter. He wanted the truth just as badly as she did.

Alex sighed and gently took her sister's hands in hers giving them a squeeze. "Okay, listen to me. Stop. I know how hard it is for you to sit on the sidelines. Okay, but Kelly and I, we will handle this. We will access Eve's files at Obsidian North and we'll see what she's up to. And if she has gotten to William, hey, we will find him. You just need to stay safe until Leo finishes your suit."

Kara sighed her eyes looking down on the ground before looking up at her sister. She was right, she had to wait even though she hated it. She hated putting people's lives at risk unnecessarily. "Alright, okay fine. But please, be careful."

Alex grinned, "You know me."

Kara nodded, "Yeah, exactly, that's what I'm worried about."

"Come on." Alex then pulled Kara in a hug. As the two sisters hugged Leo watched them. He never got a sibling he could count on like Alex and Kara did. Instead he was desperately trying to stop his brother from any horrible acts he attempted to do. Alex did settle Kara down, for now. How long that would last, well time would only tell.

Alex left Kara and Leo alone and Leo decided while building Kara's suit he should run some tracking codes. He had the tracker up in the Lex's transmatter portal watch active. His brother had yet to use it. His other computer was running programs on Eve. "Before I left Lex I placed a tracker in his transmatter portal watch. The moment he uses it we will know where he's headed. These other programs should be able to crack Eve's cipher in minutes. Talk about history repeating itself." Kara was standing beside Leo her arms crossed over her chest. Leo motioned toward the computer screen. "Tracking Lex down through Eve…it's just like Kaznia." The moment he said that Kara's eyes rolled and she walked away from Leo. Leo stood up. "Please, Kara, I'm sorry. Okay, I truly believed what I was doing was helping people."

Kara pursed her lips. "I told you I don't want to talk about the past."

He needed to try and earn Kara's forgiveness. "Oh, come on, you can scream at me if you'd like. I know I deserve it. I know now that working with Non Nocere was a mistake, that working with Lex—"

Kara cut Leo off her voice rising. "This isn't about Lex! This is about us! You didn't want to be with me, Leo! And this is about J'onn and Alex and all the other people that could have been killed today because they are on my team. Don't you understand that!?"

Leo shook his head. "No, I do, of course I do."

"No you don't." Kara snapped. One moment he was sincere and the next he was cutting her down. Telling her that she was two-faced. "You don't know what it's like to give your heart someone and they push you away. You have never understood what it means to share a secret identity with someone. How much danger that puts them in. You… you never even understood that I kept my identity from you because I wanted to protect you." She raised her hand up, "I know, I know that I hurt you by waiting so long to tell my truth. But what about all the ways you hurt me? You pretended to be my boyfriend for weeks. Just so you could manipulate me. You stole from me. You convinced me to steal for you. And then, then, you even…" Kara scoffed her head shaking. "You used Kryptonite on me. I made one mistake. One mistake that was only ever meant to protect you. And in return, all you did was hurt me in every way imaginable. All I wanted was to be with you." After constantly begging for forgiveness time after time Kara had become exhausted. She needed Leo to understand how she felt.

She was absolutely right. Everything she said was true, what made him think they could ever go back to the way things were? He'd lost her and he wasn't sure if he could ever gain that trust back. "I'm sorry." She deserved so much more but what else was he supposed to say. He was sorry for everything he'd done to her, wished he could take it all back but he couldn't. "You told me once that if I forgave you then you'd be there for me."

"I know you are sorry. But if you came to me looking for absolution, I can't give it to you. I thought you were genuine a few days ago, clearly I was wrong." Kara admitted how could he expect her to forgive him after all he'd done. He would only let her down once again, the moment she began to put her trust in him again.

Before he could say anything else his computer sounded an alert and he quickly went to the computer. "It's Eve's location."

"I'm going." Kara said firmly.

Leo shook his head. "No, Kara, your suit isn't ready yet." Leviathan would know the moment Kara used her powers and would come after her with Kryptonite.

"I don't care. Protecting people is what I do. You should know that by now."

"Then I'm going with you." Leo pressed, he wouldn't let Kara go alone. Not when there was a huge risk with Kryptonite involved. Kara removed her glasses and her Supergirl suit materialized over her body. Leo had his own transmatter portal watch and after punching in the coordinates of Eve's location Leo and Kara walked through. The moment they arrived on the other side they heard a gunshot. Supergirl rushed forward using her super speed she extended her cape out in front of William blocking the second gunshot. Supergirl used her cape knocking the gun out of Eve's hands and onto the ground.

Leo knelt and picked up the gun and pointed it Eve, Eve quickly raised her hands up while Supergirl opened William's shirt and examined the wound. "It's okay I've got you." William gritted his teeth groaning in pain from the gunshot wound. Supergirl used her x-ray vision to see if the bullet was still in William and thankfully it wasn't. "okay… the bullet went through and through but we still need to get you to a hospital."

Leo glanced back at Kara. "No, no, no, he's losing too much blood. There's no time."

Supergirl looked at the wound again, she had another option but it would definitely hurt. "Okay. I can cauterize it but it's gonna hurt."

William nodded. "Do it, do it."

"All right." Supergirl's eyes began to glow and soon a beam of her heat vision shot out and began to cauterize the wound.

William's eyes winded and he cried out painfully. "ahhh don't do it!"

By the time William had second thoughts Supergirl was already done. "Too late, too late. It's done. You okay?"

William took in a deep breath. "Yes, it just hurt."

"All right, what happened here?" At least he was safe for now, still he could have ended up getting himself killed.

William began to explain. "I was following a lead. Got jumped." He was panting his body still recovering from the pain from the gun shot and from Supergirl's heat vision. "Reporting 101 if you get kidnapped, you must be on the right track. Something Kara Danvers likes to say." At the mention of Kara William mind soon wondered if she could be in danger as well. "She was working the case with me. I need to make sure she is all right." William struggled attempting to stand up.

"Kara's fine. I spoke to her, she's in a safe place." Leo said and his words seemed to do the trick calming William down. Supergirl looked toward Leo he had helped protect her secret identity. Something that he had trouble accepting, he didn't have to do that. It was then that she began to hear a rumble and soon Leviathan appeared. As they appeared a shock-wave went out causing Eve to be thrown back into the wall losing conciseness. Leo braced himself and as he saw the three Leviathan members he was immediately worried for Kara's safely.

Supergirl stood up walking forward, "Get William and Eve out of here. I'll deal with this."

Leo stepped beside her. "Are you mad? They've got Kryptonite."

"Well, then you'd better get that suit here fast." Supergirl wasn't about to back down, she just hoped Leo had that suit ready in time.

Leo pulled his phone out and with a single button press he had Kara's Kryptonite suit on its away. "It's already on its way. And I'll call for back-up." Leo pocketed his phone and went to William helping him up onto his feet. Leo picked Eve up as well and took them both through the transmatter portal. When they made it through to the other side Leo sent an emergency text to Nia that Kara would need some help.


Leo placed Eve in Leo's lab while William was checked one last time before Leo sent him home to rest. Before long Kara, M'gann, and Nia arrived back at Leo's lab. Kelly and Alex soon afterward, they were calling a meeting and apparently the fight with Leviathan took an unexpected turn. Leo's suit had made it in time to shield Kara from the Kryptonite and when Kara destroyed Leviathan it seemed their problems were over. Well that was until they came back to life.

Nia sighed, "And that's when their bodies started to reform like out of a horror movie."

"Yeah, but that means…" Alex began.

Kelly frowned, "They're indestructible."

M'gann clarified. "Immortal."

Kara sighed, "This isn't about defeating them anymore. They want us to fight until we drop. So they can distract us from whatever Lex is planning."

Leo motioned to where Eve was. "Well, Eve will know what that is."

Kara gave a nod. "I'm gonna go find out." Kara walked into the adjacent room and stood next to the bed Eve was laying in. "Eve! Eve, can you hear me?"

Eve's eyes slowly opened and she jumped as Supergirl was standing over her. "Is the reporter okay?" She hadn't meant to kill someone again, she was left with no choice. Part of herself was glad the reporter was still alive but now, now Lex will kill her mother.

"Yes. He told us everything."

"Please understand…I was just trying to protect my Mom. Now Lex is gonna kill her." She had thought Lex was a good man trying to help her out of Leviathan's grasp. He only manipulated her, let her believe that he loved her. There was no way out, from Lex's hold. She couldn't save her mother, not from Leviathan or from Lex.

"I know you must feel like there's no way out. But it is when things feel their most hopeless that we have to dig down deep to do what's right. Otherwise the bad guys win. Help us, Eve. Help us fight. And I promise I will do everything in my power to keep you and your Mom safe." Kara meant what she said, this Eve was different from the last one. She was put in what seemed an impossible situation and now Lex was taking advantage of that. It made her so angry that Lex was once again using people, using them like this. He needed to be stopped, she had to stop him once and for all and put him behind bars for good.

Eve eventually gave a firm nod but you could see in her eyes how scared she was. How much of a risk she was taking as she began to explain to Supergirl the plan. "Gemma Cooper is not who she says she is. Her real name is Gamemnae. She's a member of Leviathan, just like Rama Khan. Tonight they're planning to attack the Unity Festival. Once all four billion subscribers are inside…Gemma will kill them all."

"Thank you Eve. I promise you I will keep you and your mother safe." She gave her a reassuring smile before heading back to see the Super friends. "Once four billion are logged into the Unity Festival they're going to kill everyone."

Kelly's eyes widened and she went to one of Leo's computers. She could get in the back end of the program. "There's nearly a billion people logged into the Unity Fest already."

Alex suggested, "Can we shut down the system?"

"Or destroy it somehow?" M'gann added.

Leo sighed, "No." Everyone's eyes focused on him and he explained. "The Luthor power core has an indestructible fail safe."

"So, you're saying we need to convince potentially billions of people to log out of a virtual reality paradise of their own free will." Nia looked to Kara, "I hope you've got one of those classic hope speeches handy." They were going to need one of those and a miracle in order for 4 billion people to log out.

Kara scoffed she'd convinced people before but this was 4 billion. Four billion that wanted to be in a beautiful virtual reality where they could live all their dreams and desires out. "I mean, I've done it before but never on this level."

"If anyone can do it, it's you." Alex and Leo both said in unison. After realizing what had just happened they slowly looked at each other. Leo clearing his throat and cracking a smile.

Alex smiled lightly. "Jinx."

Everyone believed in her, that she could convince billions. Alex and Leo both knew her the best. "All right, so what do we do about Leviathan?"

"We'll fight till our last breath." Everyone turned seeing J'onn standing behind the Super friends and M'gann was the first to come by his side. She hooked an arm around him side hugging him.

"J'onn, are you sure?" M'gann only asked because he had been injured before. The moment she saw a smile appear on his face she knew he was fine. Fine enough to fight.

J'onn gave a nod. "With you by my side, 100%."

Nia placed her hands on her hips. "Well, we'll need to do something to draw Leviathan out."

"I'll send them a message." J'onn had a plan for Leviathan, he could easily draw them out. Insulting them would be the perfect way to draw them out.

Kara asked, "What are you going to say?"

J'onn only grinned, "Something to get their attention."


Leo grabbed the lenses for Kara taking the small box they were in and walked toward Kara that was sitting down in his lab. "Kelly, opened the back door into the festival. It should help protect you from the kill switch."

Kara took the lenses from Leo. "Hopefully we can get everyone out before Lex and Gemma hit it." Kara didn't seem to be as confident in her planned hope speech. What if she couldn't get through to the people?

"You will."

Kara looked up at Leo and gave a firm nod. "Let's do this." He believed in her, and Alex believed in her. Everyone did, they saw something she didn't right now. They knew Supergirl inspired hope, and believed in the greater good of people. She could do all these incredible things but it was her heart, her compassion for people that made her stand out. That made people want to do better. She placed the lenses in her eyes and went under and into the Obsidian VR.

Leo was at a nearby computer monitoring Kara and how many were logged into the Unity Festival. There was still a lot of people logged in. He soon heard Kara's voice in the ear piece, he could hear her when she wanted to communicate with him from inside the VR. "It's…it's not working. There are too many people, they feel connected to their loved ones, it's…it's spiritual. I have no idea how to break through to them."

"I think I can give you a way to talk to everyone at once." With a few more button presses Leo now gave Supergirl access to speak to all users at once. "Try now." They still had some time but it was only a matter of time before Leviathan hit the kill switch.

He thought he heard something coming from behind and as he turned he saw Andrea a rock of Kryptonite in one hand. "Andrea!" Andrea's eyes widened as Leo said her name, even with the mask on he still recognized her. "The medallion. You've been activated." He stepped in front of her.

Andrea pointed the Kryptonite at Leo. "If I don't kill Supergirl, they'll kill my father." The point was very sharp almost as sharp as a knife point, with enough force she could use it as a weapon to hurt anyone. Not just Supergirl.

Leo raised his hands up slowly. "Killing for them… going down this path, it won't keep him safe."

"How do you know?"

He was thankful the events from before crisis didn't happen. He'd hurt Andrea trying to get the medallion from her, used her. He needed to make amends, he needed to be who he was. He was tired of being used and manipulated, things needed to change. He had to do better. "Because I've been down it before. I have done terrible things to protect myself and the people I love." Leo sighed, "I pushed the woman I loved away. Every terrible thing I've done has never kept me safe from pain. It's just brought me a new kind of misery. And I moved further and further away from the person I was, until one day I woke up and I was utterly alone. I know you don't want to do this. You are a good person, Andrea." He stepped forward and Andrea pointed the point of the Kryptonite at Leo's throat. "If you want to get to Supergirl, you're gonna have to go through me." He could feel the sharp point of the Kryptonite against his throat and with one swift motion Andrea could kill him instantly. His eyes locked with Andreas. "I believe in you, I believe you'll do the right thing."

Andrea slowly lowered the Kryptonite and began to cry and Leo slowly took the rock from her and wrapped an arm around her. "Hey, its okay, it's okay. It's okay." Leo let out a slow breath, for a moment he wasn't sure if she'd actually attempt to hurt Supergirl. Thankfully she backed down.

"Thank you Leo…" Andrea slowly wiped away her tears. Sniffling she looked up at her long lost friend, he stopped her from doing something she wouldn't be able to take back.

Leo smiled, "Of course." Andrea then vanished back into the shadows disappearing and he let out a slow breath. He looked down at the rock of Kryptonite and grabbed a metal case and placed the Kryptonite in there. He'd have to take care of that later. It was then that Kara awoke from the VR and Leo smiled. "You did it." Before she could reply his computer sounded an alert.

"What's wrong?"

Leo grinned, "Its Lex. He used his transmatter portal watch. I know where he is Kara."

Kara grinned, "Well then let's go him." Leo grinned and using his own transmatter portal watch placed in the coordinates before they both stepped through. As they emerged on the other side and the portal disappeared Leo spotted Brainy on the floor of room they just came in. There were control panels around and it appeared to be some sort of lab or base of operations. For who or what he couldn't say. "Brainy!" Leo shouted however his eyes soon focused on another figure standing across the room. His eyes immediately focused on Lex.

"Well well, this is a surprise." He had some sort of tube in one hand and in other he had a gun pointed at Kara and Leo. Lex fired twice, Kara only reacted protectively standing in front of Leo. However Leo knew his brother, knew that bullets were pointless against Supergirl.

He franticly pushed his way in front of Kara. "Kara, wait!" Kara only realized after Leo got in front of her it only took a second for her to realize, for her to feel the effects of Kryptonite on her body. It was enough Kryptonite to slow her down, that she couldn't stop the bullets. The bullets were Kryptonite bullets. She cried out painfully and then she felt Leo fall back into her arms.

"Leo! Leo!" Blood was already gushing from the wounds in his chest. "No, no, no." Her hands quickly applying pressure to the wounds. Her eyes narrowed at Lex as she stood there with Leo in her arms.

Lex grinned, "Oh dear, you see I knew he placed the tracker which is why I had a second one made for my escape. It's a shame really you aren't fast enough to catch me and save him, save them both." He actived the portal on his other watch and stepped through leaving Supergirl, Leo, and Brainy. He could try and kill Supergirl now but first he need to get his brother out of the way, sadly this was necessary. Leo would only be an annoyance.

Leo gritted his teeth, "B-brainy first. Save Brainy first…" All he could feel was the pain and feel the blood as his hands clutched over his wounds. "It's… okay…Kara…" Was this the end? If it ended like this at least, at least he'd redeemed himself. Kara's blue eyes were filled with worry; he'd never seen her look like that. She was so worried, and he saw her eyes watering up, before everything went black.


Leo's eyes shot open and his body bolted up. His hands quickly clutched at his chest, there was no blood. What had happen? He was sure he had been shot. His eyes looked around at his surroundings then, how did he get in his office at Luthor-Corp? Where was Kara? Where was everyone? He stood up and headed toward the large windows in the Luthor-Corp building and as he stared out of the window he noticed that the sun was shrinking? It was becoming darker. "What the hell is going on?"

"You're dying." Leo turned sharply looking at who was behind him. Had he gone insane? It was himself but it wasn't him, no there was a hunk of glowing Kryptonite in his chest, his black hair was cut very short, a scar was over his face. He was dressed completely in black and his black jacket was open showing the Kryptonite clearly.

"Who are you?" Leo asked confused. "Where am I?"

Kryptonite Leo groaned, "You were shot. Or did you forget that?" He walked forward poking Leo in his chest. "Right here and here." He jabbed in two different spots. "You are lying in the hospital, doctors frantic to save you and this is your mind."

Leo ran a hand through his hair. "So what… this is my mind? My office? And who are you exactly?"

"I don't make the rules here. Your mind just processed this into something you can comprehend." He frowned then. "Shame really it all started here and it will end here. It began with Kara and it ended with Kara."

"What? You're telling me that I'm really going to die?" Leo began to panic, he'd gotten shot by Lex and Kara never forgave him.

Another voice soon sounded and Leo looked toward the door. "Stop! You're making him panic!"

Kryptonite Leo gritted his teeth. "Well obviously I don't want to die either but the odds of him surviving are slim!" His head snapping toward the newcomer only to find yet again another Leo well actually there were two Leo's. They both had long hair however one had his hair neatly pulled back into a pony tail, he was wearing a clean white suit while the second Leo had very long shaggy hair. He was dressed in some jeans and a black t-shirt.

"Who's that?!" Leo pointed toward the other two Leo's.

The one dressed in white smile. "Sorry, I might as well introduce us all." He pointed toward Kryptonite Leo, "This is Wrath." He placed his hand against the other Leo with long hair. "This is Fear and I am Merry. We all represent parts of your personality and together we make you. Right now you are dying Leo but you need to hang on, because none of us want to die. If you die, we all die."

Fear sat down on Leo's desk crossing his leg's Indian style and began to rock slowly, his hands shaking. "It's too late… even Kara hasn't forgiven us. We let…"

Wrath snarled. "We let out brother get the best of us!"

Merry shook his head. "It's not too late."

Leo rubbed his eyes, he'd completely lost it. "You act like I have a choice in surviving or not. Perhaps my luck has just run out?" He'd made too many mistakes.

Wrath snorted. "You do have a choice and that's to fight Leo!"

Merry nodded, "He's right. So what if we've made mistakes, we're better than that."

Wrath nodded. "You bet we are! We don't give up. Or have you forgotten." He placed his hand over Leo's shoulder. "Remember our science project, a volcano. Lillian threw it away the night before it was due, said we could do better. Told us it was pathetic. What'd we do? We scrounged together a project last second and managed to get a passing grade. We don't give up no matter what the Luthors have done to us, we need get up. We need to wake up. Wake up Leo!"

Fear raised his eyes toward Leo, "Wake up Leo!"

"Wake up!" Merry shouted.

Leo's eyes jolted open he soon felt someone take his hand. "It's okay, you're alright." Kara said trying to sooth him.

Leo sighed his head resting back against the pillow. "I'm not dead?" He raised his hand up rubbing the temples of his head. "Where am I?"

Kara smiled softly, "No, you're not. National City Hospital. I can't believe you stepped in front like that. Taking those bullets for me. For a moment I thought… I thought you weren't going to come back." She had her hands folded in front of her. He never let her down, she thought he wasn't genuine in wanting to make amends but she was wrong.

"Kara, there was no other choice to make. I couldn't let you get hurt, not after all I'd done to hurt you." Leo's mind then remembered the Unity Festival. "Is everyone safe? How's Brainy?!"

Kara smiled, "Well not a single person's using Obsidian Platinum. Leviathan has disappeared." Her smile faded however, "Brainy… Brainy's in a coma, Nia is by his side but we don't know when he'll wake up. Or if he will wake up."

Leo sighed. "Well at least we have one victory. Brainy is strong he'll make it."

"I hope your right."

"You know you were right." Leo began causing Kara to look at Leo confused. He began to explain. "I hurt you, countless times. I know you didn't want to tell me who you really were because you didn't want me to get hurt. But I did get hurt. I did what I always do when people hurt me. I… built a wall and I suffocated behind it. Makes it very difficult to see things from other people's point of view. But I see yours now. And I am very sorry it took me so long."

"You know, when you showed up at my door this morning I…I didn't want to let you in. And I kept waiting for you to let me down. But at every turn you came through. Building that suit. Protecting my identity, supporting me. You even got shot protecting me. I wasn't ready to accept your apology." Kara smiled lightly, "But maybe, maybe I am now." Her eyes glance downward before resting on Leo's eyes. "We can't go back to the way things were, but we can start over." They couldn't go back to being lovers but she was willing to give Leo another chance. Perhaps one day they could be close friends again.

"Friends?" Leo asked, he extended his hand out toward Kara.

Kara gave a nod. "Yes, friends." Kara took his hand and gave it a firm shake.

Leo smiled. "Okay, what now?"

"Well, there's still one bad guy left to catch." Kara raised her index finger up. "But you need rest, and when you're healthy again…"

Leo grinned. "We'll take my brother down." He let out a slow breath leaning back in the hospital bed. "As for resting I can use that." He felt as though a weight had been lifted off of him and he knew that he had to make better decisions. Too many times he'd blamed the Luthors or others for his mistakes. Not anymore, things had to change and he knew he had to be better. Leo knew he had the capability to be good, that he had been good in the past. He just needed to stick with it. Kara left him alone in his hospital room to rest and made her way home.

Even though Lex had gotten away it was only a matter of time before they stopped him. Kara didn't get very far when she saw out in the sky what looked like some sort of aircraft. It was falling fast to the ground. Kara yanked her glasses off when she made her way down a side alley way. Her Supergirl suit materializing over her body and she took off in flight. She was there in moments beside the aircraft. It was small, room enough for only a few passengers, it was silver with armor plating surrounding it. Two small high powered engines were beneath each of the wings.

Supergirl made her way underneath the plane her hands digging into the armor plating and after getting a firm grip on the plane she began to guide it downward. She struggled getting the plane to slow down but her feet soon landed on the ground and with a grunt set the aircraft down. Kara went toward the passenger door and pried it off before she poked her head inside. She saw two figures both unconscious, both bleeding. One was young man he had blonde hair and a beard. One of his arms looked as though part of it had been ripped off below the elbow. The second was a dark haired woman, her injures didn't seem as severe. It was clear both of them had been in a fight with someone. She was bleeding as well but she had deep cuts along her body and face. Who were these strangers? Where did they even come from? Her questions would be answered later, right now they needed her help.


Author's Note

So I did drop in those two strangers on a plane, who they are will be revealed later. So what to expect for Season 6, expect William to be around. William is a very nice guy so Kara will be giving him a chance. Kara and Leo have come to terms but they are in an awkward stage, they're not really friends again but they've patched things up. I'm going to start naming chapters now to sort of differentiate Season 5 vs. my own Season 6. A small change. For now I'm going to take a small break, then work on an outline of what I want to happen and better plan things before the first chapter comes out.
