VALHALLA

Chapter 2 - "...though some have changed..."

"El Mayarah."

No impact, no pain. Actually, Kara felt very good. She opened her eyes.

Was she on Krypton? Was she on Earth? The red sun, the yellow sun, everything and nothing at the same time. Was she walking? Was she flying? She looked at herself. Unlike her last and intense days before, her hair was bright, she had a good hairdo, her body was clean, her Supergirl suit impeccable, almost shining.

"So that's how everything ends?"

"Not exactly," listening to the voice behind her, Kara got scared and turned.

"Who are you? And what place is this?"

"This place is where you want to be," the woman looked around. "And in my point of view, you want to be in more than one place."

"And who are you?"

Suddenly, Kara saw herself standing before three women.

"We are the Norns." (*)

"I am Urd," said the one who looked extremely old. "I keep the mysteries and secrets of the past."

"I am Verdandi," said the woman that seemed to be in the middle age. "I am the guardian of the present. The movement and the continuity."

"I am Skuld," said the woman that seemed to be very young. "I am the guardian of the future and the master of destiny."

"I am confused. Where am I?"

"Kara Zor-El Danvers. You fell in battle and were brought to the gateways of Valhalla, only the most valuable warriors' souls are led to the hall of the dead. But something still keeps you in your old life."

"But what?"

Suddenly Kara felt a deep pain in her chest and fell on her knees, "Alex!" The pain increased more and more until it suddenly stopped and she saw herself standing, in the middle of the living room of her own apartment in National City.

The door opened up and the woman furiously threw the key on the table. Behind her, Hank Henshaw didn't even wait to be invited to in.

"You already brought me here, now you can leave," the tone of the voice was tough.

"Do you need anything?"

"I need you to leave me alone."

"Alex, you know she wouldn't have done anything different."

"Stop trying to comfort me, Hank. I don't want anybody to comfort me. I don't want to hear beautiful or inspiring words. I want my sister's body to give her a decent funeral. And in this exact moment, I want the world to go to the hell… beginning with you. NOW, GET OUT!"

Hank realized that she won't listen to him at the moment. He shook his head and left.

Alexandra Danvers stopped in front of her sister. With a tired, contracted, tense face she held in her eyes a deep sadness that Kara had not seen, not even when they received the false notification of Jeremiah's death years ago.

"Alex!" Kara held out her hand, but she couldn't touch her. Her sister didn't see her, her sister didn't hear her.

Alex picked the picture frame that the sisters had taken on the first day of the school vacation.

"I told you not to enter there," Kara was scared when the woman threw the photography at the wall.

After that, she took a pair of scissors and a box hidden in the middle of a pile of clothes from where two Supergirl's suits that the alien kept as a backup case of damage were removed.

"Why couldn't you be just Kara Danvers?" she ripped at them furiously. "Why did you become my sister? Why did you make me like you? Why did you leave me alone?"

"I hate you, Supergirl!" she took a bottle and drank almost a quarter of the liquor. "But, I love you, Kara!"

"If my parents had not put me in that pod, you wouldn't suffer," Kara was devastated seeing her sister's bitterness. Only then she realized that she was in front of the Norns again.

"Is that what you want, Kara Zor-El? That Kara Danvers had never existed?"

The embittered glance seemed to become rageful.

"Without me, it would have been easier for everybody. Fort Rozz wouldn't have crashed on Earth, and there wouldn't be alien threats or the DEO, and Jeremiah wouldn't be missing. Without me, Alex wouldn't let go of everything to protect me, without me Alex would have a life, without me Alex would not suffer, without me, she would be happy," she swallowed bitter tears and finally answered the question. "Yes. I want it to be so that Kara Danvers had never existed."

"So, it is done," said Urd.

The girl looked at herself and she noticed that the blue and red suit had been replaced by the tunic that she was wearing when she left Krypton. Now she was in a big hall where a beautiful woman spoke before Kara could ask anything.

"I am Freyja, leader of Valkyries," the voice was low and severe. "Never somebody like you, that is not a god or human, entered in the gateways of Valhalla. But as an extraordinary warrior, this honor was given to you. However, at the moment that you wanted never to come to Earth, the journey that brought you to this moment in front of me, ceased to exist. In this case, Valhalla is not your final destiny anymore." (**) (***)

Kara agreed. Freyja was right. She had made a choice and with it the consequences.

"At least Alex is happy," the girl spoke in a low voice.

"Come closer," Kara obeyed. "When changing your past you gave up of what makes you what you are."

Freyja took Kara's hand and placed a small rustic carved stone in it, "But, before Kara Zor-El stops existing, Verdandi will take you to see those who Kara Danvers loved so much."

Freyja continued, "Skuld, you should follow my orders strictly and as soon as she is ready, do what she wishes."

The lady of destiny humbly accepted the order.

"Thank you," Kara whispered.


Author's Notes:

(*)The Norns are female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men. Their names are Urd ("What Once Was"), Verdandi ("What Is Coming into Being") and Skuld ("What Shall Be"). Skuld appears in at least two poems as a Valkyrie.

(**) In Norse mythology, Freyja is a goddess associated with love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, war, and death. A hypothesis says that Freyja was a war-goddess, and she even appears as a valkyrie, literally 'the one who chooses the slain'."

(***) A Valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting half of those who die in battle, the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla.
