"Now, your Mother and I are going out to properly dispose of Draven's ship and your broken one. Under no circumstances are you to leave." Leo felt as though he was giving his kids another talk on how to behave. Even though Alura was twenty and Jeremiah was nineteen, they didn't need to be advised anymore.

Alura and Jeremiah both nodded. "Yep. Got it."

That was too easy, he frowned as he stared at them but they gave no clue as to what they were up to exactly. "J'onn is working so he'll be out and Marvin is in charge of Draven."

"Don't worry Dad we'll be fine." Alura said attempting to reassure him.

Leo clicked his tongue. "That's what I'm afraid of…"

He began but Kara smiled. "They'll be fine and we'll be back before you know it. How are you going to get around without people noticing you?"

Leo pressed a few buttons on his gauntlet and soon his appearance changed, seemed like image inducers were still a technology that was used in the future. He looked like a younger man with blonde hair and he looked at Kara. "You clearly are underestimating what our children are capable of. We will be back soon."'

Even so, they were both young adults, Kara assumed they could behave themselves and just assumed Leo was overacting. How much trouble could they possibly get into? They shouldn't be gone too long. "Let's get going." Leo followed Kara out of the tower and when they exited Kara asked. "I'm assuming we're flying?"

"It's faster." Leo cleared his throat. "You don't mind?"

"Oh no of course not." Kara soon wrapped her arms around Leo and soon took off in the air with Leo gripped tightly around her. You would think after all these years he would have gotten used to Kara flying him around. He never did enjoy flying, except in his own Jet. Leo knew Kara wouldn't drop him still it was remarkable how fast she could actually fly.

As soon as Leo and Kara were gone, "Finally, I'm starved." He stood up and opened up one of J'onn's closets. "Uncle J'onn always did have some classic clothes." He pulled a button-up flannel shirt out and threw it toward his sister. "You think he keeps his stash in the same place?"

Alura grabbed the shirt and went into the bathroom to change. Removing her soiled and ripped top and placing the temporary flannel one. "Probably…" When she came out of the bathroom she went over toward J'onn's desk and found some cash as well as the car keys. "Found it."

"Leave an I.O.U note; we'll pay him back when we back home." Jeremiah took another flannel shirt out and after pulling it on slowly he carefully began to button it. Thank God he lost his left arm and not the right one. After he emerged from the closet he flipped one of J'onn's fedora hats on top of his head and began to sing. "Two of us riding nowhere. Spending someone's…"

Alura grinned and spun the keys in her fingers. "Hard-earned pay." The siblings began to sing as they made their way down to J'onn's car. Alura jumped in the front seat of the Blue 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe and Jeremiah piled in the passenger seat.

The two of them continued to sing the Beatles song, "Two of Us". Uncle J'onn often did play older classical music when they spent time with him and Aunt M'gann. They had beautiful singing voices and clearly, they enjoyed singing. They often did sing together and inherited their Mother's beautiful voice.

Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home.
We're on our way home
We're going home.

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches

On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out

They ended up heading to get Chinese food and simply parked on the side of the road in front of the restaurant. "How's your arm?"

Jeremiah shrugged. "It's… fine I suppose. Thanks for getting me out of there, I might have… I would have died." He shoved a potsticker in his mouth then, it was true he'd gotten grabbed by Doomsday, and then next thing he felt was his arm being torn off.

"Some Superhero I turned out to be. Can't save our Mom and can't even help you from getting hurt." Alura sighed. "I never thought things would end up like this."

"Hey, you did your best. I made a mistake and I paid that price with my arm. At least Dad was happy to see you, he was furious with me." Jeremiah poked his fried rice with his chopsticks.

"He was worried about you too. Don't worry when we are back home he'll yell at me too. What did he expect us to do? We couldn't sit around and do nothing and Uncle Lex was willing to tell us where the schematics were in the Luthor Corp database. Without him, we wouldn't have built the time travel ship. How did Draven get one though?"

"Draven used the older prototype that Uncle Lex built. It was stored in one of the Luthor Corp warehouses and Dad, well Dad built his own. Still, the one thing Dad tells us to never do is to see Uncle Lex or Grandma Lillian. And I broke that rule."

"It was worth the risk. I…I really thought we could save her…you know when we go back home…she won't be there."

"It almost doesn't feel real… but I remember Dad rushing Mom into the DEO and I couldn't hear her heartbeat. Her eyes were so blank and dull, fixed… I can't ever forget that look on her face."

"I know… I can't either."

Their conversation was interrupted as a robber with a purse ran past their car. The policeman was running after him but it was clear the robber would get away unless stopped. Jeremiah sighed. "Really… I swear these robbers have the worst timing." He placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small metal squared device a single button on the front.

"Ohh let me try." Alura extended her hands out excitedly and Jeremiah handed it to his sister. She pressed the button causing it to fully extend in the shape of a boomerang.

"Don't miss."

"I won't miss." She prepared her shot taking aim as she extended her arm out toward the robber. She gently bit her lower tongue before she threw it and the boomerang soared beautifully through the air. Alura had aimed perfectly and it smacked the robber cleanly in the head before spinning its way back toward the car and Alura caught it easily. She grinned in victory before sitting back down in her seat.

"That was beautiful." Jeremiah offered his sister his fist and she fist-bumped afterward. It was then that a majority of people had taken notice of these two stopped a robber with a boomerang. "Errr, did we do something wrong or something unusual?"

"Most likely unusual. Look if Dad asks we did nothing." She started the car up then and they drove off making their escape before more people were drawn to them.


Leo and Kara had successfully destroyed both Draven's and his kid's time travel ship. He'd asked Kara to take him to where he had placed his ship. It was just outside of National City in the desert. When they landed Leo walked a few feet forward. "Right I left it here."

Kara crinkled her eyebrows inward. "I don't see anything."

Leo smiled. "Use your x-ray vision." Kara did as Leo suggested and soon saw the time travel ship. He had cloaked it, that was impressive. Leo raised his arm and after pressing a button to open the ship the door slid to the side showing the inside of the ship. Leo got in and checked the systems. Everything was running smoothly.

"Are you from the same time as the Legion?" Kara asked curiously.

Leo then exited the craft and closed the door. "No, much earlier. The Legion isn't even formed."

"You won't tell me everything about the future but why did you build a time machine then if not to change the outcome of the future?"

"Lex, tinkered with time travel after the crisis. Thought it might be handy. I found his plans and worked on them but Barry expressed his concerns over Luthor Corp using the technology. Said it was too great a risk, you also agreed so I decided to scrap the project. It's a huge risk which is why I'm not telling you anymore. I've already told you way too much as it is. Time travel is complicated, telling you too much information could alter the timeline in ways that we don't even expect. Which is why I have to be selective." He wanted nothing more than to tell Kara everything, maybe that'd be the way to save her. Save her from an early death. "I want to tell you, Kara, I truly do, but if my decisions cause more harm than what has already happened it's worth the risk."

Kara nodded slowly, "I understand." If Barry had expressed concerns over time travel, he must have a good reason. Still, she wasn't going to give up fighting her impending death. She'd always keep fighting that future.

"We should head back to the tower." Leo suggested. "It's time we leave."

Kara flew them back to the tower and as they made their way up the stairs and to J'onn's front door they could hear music coming from inside. Kara instantly recognized the tune. "I've always loved this song." Her warm smile grew as the song, "The Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra. She opened the door to see her kids casually sitting on the couch as J'onn's record player was running the tune.

It had been such a long time since he'd heard that song. Kara had thought it romantic and they had it playing for their first dance at their wedding. He swallowed thickly before his eyes rested upon the Kryptonian. Her beauty always left him breathless, and he just wanted to remember her like this. Smiling and glowing, he wished to remember her like this always. To erase the nightmare, erase the memory of her broken and bleeding.

"You two should say goodbye to your mother. We need to be leaving. Marvin!" Leo called and the robot soon appeared coming from another room. "Take Draven back to the ship. We'll meet you there."

Alura frowned but she knew her father was right, they couldn't stay here forever. She stood up and hugged Kara tightly. "I'll miss you so much, Mom." She pressed a kiss against her cheek.

Kara squeezed Alura tightly. "We'll meet again soon." She kissed her cheek gently and then looked to Jeremiah. She pulled him into a tight hug as well. "I love you both so much already. I look forward to meeting you in the future."

"I love you too Mom." Jeremiah pressed a kiss against Kara's cheek. "I love you forever."

Kara smiled at both her children and sniffled a bit before she took a deep breath controlling the tears that threatened to fall. She looked up at Leo and he stepped toward her. "Thank you, for everything." He took her hand and pressed a soft kiss against the palm of her hand. He slowly released her hand and watched as her future family walked out the doors. There had to be a way to prevent her death, it couldn't end like this.


Before they left to head back to their time Leo made one final stop. National City Hospital, he activated the image inducer and walked with ease up in the building. He knew exactly where his younger self as located. He stepped inside the hospital room and shut the door behind him. Leo was awake, he was recovering from his wounds nicely. "Who are you?"

The older Leo deactivated the image inducer revealing his true form. The younger Leo's mouth dropped. "Things can't get any stranger, can they?" Seeing himself, but older was haunting. He looked tired, drained, still, he continued on.

"The monitor saw you and he gave you a warning. I know because he gave me that warning too. I thought it was a load of crap, I didn't believe him. I paid the price for my stupidity."

"Are you saying that… that Kara dies?" He felt like an even bigger idiot for doubting the Monitor. He should be taking this to heart, he would take it to heart now.

"She does, maybe you'll have better luck in stopping it or maybe it can't be stopped at all. Just be careful, Leo." Maybe telling his younger self to take the Monitor's warning seriously will help. Or maybe he was just fooling himself even more. Kara was meant to live a very long life, longer than his own. She deserved every bit of happiness, she'd given so much of herself as Supergirl it was time she got something good back. He flicked the image inducer back on and left as quickly as he appeared.


The trip home was instant, Alura and Jeremiah went home but Leo stayed at Luthor Corp. Leo stood leaning against the balcony outside of his office gazing out at National City. Tomorrow they would bury Kara, the realization that he'd never see his love again suck in. He slowly sipped his scotch it was then that he heard a soft calming voice behind him. "You shouldn't be alone."

Leo's eyes cast downward glued on the glass in his hands. "I'm fine…"

Diana stood next to him. "I'm still staying with you. I know how much you cared for Kara and I am truly sorry for your loss Leo."

"Does it… get any easier?" Leo felt Diana gently place her hand against his arm and give it a small squeeze. He knew that she'd lost Steve Trevor years ago, she talked about him fondly.

"Steve will always be my first love. I miss him every day. There are fewer painful moments but you will always feel that loss from time to time. I thought shutting myself away from the world would help but shutting yourself away is no way to live. I know you are tempted to shut yourself away but do not, you need to draw closer to your friends and family." Diana ran her hand down his arm to his hand snaking its way into the palm of his one hand. Her fingers squeezed gently to give him strength.

She'd been his second love and right now the small motion she gave him was just what he needed. He knew things would be alright, that she'd stand by him when his world had fallen apart. Leo swallowed thickly his eyes not meeting Diana's gaze but he squeezed her hand back firmly. Taking the lifeline she stretched out for him. "Thank you…"
