This was difficult to write, but in the end it came out right I feel. You decide.
Collaborated with: LVEZZ
Supergirl looks at the agents in the room, Mon-El and Alex. She signals the agents to leave and steps over to her twin. "That was the first time I've seen the Sorceress come out of you... do you want me to leave?"
"No, just letting you know I am bad as stated." She said still ashamed looking away.
Supergirl places a hand onto hers, "what happened with Winn?" She asks curiously.
"You don't want to know." She answered still looking away.
Supergirl sighs and nods, "okay... I'll be back later, and we'll continue our talk. Did you want me to send Oliver in?"
"No, I don't want him to see me like this." She turns back to face her. "I'm sorry if I hurt you. I have no conscious thoughts when the Sorceress comes out. Did I hurt you?" She asked concerned.
Supergirl shakes her head, "no... I punched you in the head after you said- 'I know you'" she swallows, "I realized I had to knock you out myself. I realized I wasn't talking to you anymore but..." she looks down trying to hide any sign of doubt or fear. "It didn't phase her," she looks at her.
"What do you mean it didn't phase her?" Kara asked worriedly.
Supergirl looks at her seriously, "she asked if I hit her... she didn't feel my strength... she is much stronger than Reign."
"Oh Rao... No wonder I am restrained. I am incredibly dangerous..." Her voice cut off and her breath hitched. "I am sorry for all the trouble I caused." She closed her eyes and balled her fists.
Supergirl touches her hand, "we'll get through this... you can't fight her physically but mentally, you can... otherwise," she wets her lips and swallows, "it's just me."
"You can't fight me as the sorceress. I am too strong and can hurt you."
"Kara, please promise you won't fight me!" She begged her friend.
Supergirl nods, "the Sorceress is too strong and can kill me," she agrees. "But you've kept her locked up for a long time now... what happens when she comes out again?"
"I don't know! Just don't fight me please!" She looked at her with saddened eyes. "You want to know why I freaked out when I saw Winn?"
Supergirl shakes her head, "it's my job to protect the other's, I will fight her if she comes out again."
"You can't I will kill you Kara! Just pump me full of kryptonite. Promise me if I start to attack again that you will have me killed." She paused in her grief. "I killed General Schott!"
Supergirl thinks over what she's said and sits down, "there has to be another way. There has to be a solution where you don't die," she looks at her. "You killed him? When?" She asks confused.
Holding onto her hand, as best she can with the cuffs, "I want to understand what caused you to turn dark because of Winn."
"They put me in a firing squad. I ... she bit her bottom lip, sucking it between her teeth. "I fried him and others for hurting and almost killing me."
She balled up her fists again. "I don't want you hurt! Promise me you will kill me!"
Supergirl watches and listens closely, "was it you or the Sorceress?" She asks and shakes her head, "I can't kill you."
"I am not completely sure. It may have been me. Maybe you can't, but others can. Promise me that you will allow others to stop me!"
She puts her face into her hands, "you killed him because he shot you?" Supergirl looks up at her and stands up. "No, I am not going to have you killed! I will find a way around this, just like the other Kara and Sam."
She panicked and pulled hard, pulling her cuffs from the sides of the bed "You have got to listen! Kara I am dangerous!"
"Kara! Move away from Overgirl now!" Dr. Hamilton advised, holding the gun in her hand again
Supergirl shakes her head, "I'm fine Dr. Hamilton," she says over her shoulder. "I know, the Sorceress in you is dangerous but you're not."
"Arghh! These cuffs are hurting me! Kryptonite can kill me! The darkness can beat the red sun weakness, but kryptonite stops it."
She starts breathing hard as she pulls against the straps.
Supergirl stands up, "stop!" She orders her twin firmly.
Hamilton steps up to her bed, ready to fire the dart. Kara's voice got through to her. She ceased her struggles.
Kara looks at Dr. Hamilton, "I need to do something, could you set her up in a private room please?"
Hamilton nodded, set up isolation, closed the curtains and had her bed moved into the new room.
Kara walks to Dr. Livingston's office and knocks.
"Yes Kara? How are you doing?"
"Feeling troubled... really... I know I need to have a session with you about what happened, but I feel there's a more pressing matter," she looks at him seriously. "It has to do with Kara Queen... I need to bring Winn in to see her as before... she changed. There's a darkness inside of her and I want to talk to her... and I want you to be there to see it, please."
"Of course. I have been getting all the updates. I am worried about her." He admitted, grabbing a tablet and heading out the door with her.
When they got to the Med Bay they heard Hamilton raising her voice to Kara. "That is why you have a bed pan and a catheter. You don't need to get out of bed."
"I am perfectly capable of walking to the bathroom!" Overgirl told her struggling.
Kara walks taps her ear bud, "Winn?"
Spinning around in his desk chair, "yes ma'am! How may I help you?"
"I need you to come down to Med Bay to see Kara Queen," Kara says, right to the point.
His eyes shoot open and he sits up, "no way! Not after how she reacted to me earlier! And I heard about what happened after!"
Kara looks at Dr. Livingston, "I need to talk to that other person... I need you to trigger that... person out of her. I will not let anything happen to you, I promise."
Winn drums his heels on the floor, "fine... but you owe me!" He stands up and meets her.
"No." She answered sternly. "The orders are confined to bed, which is why you are restrained." She walked out to greet Kara and Livingston.
"Sorry about that..."
Kara nods and looks at Dr. Livingston, "where will you be?" She holds up her hand to tell Winn to wait. He happily waits outside.
"I will be in my office. She already doesn't like me, don't need to add to it."
Livingston smirked. "Not looking forward to this," he muttered.
"I just hope this doesn't turn violent..." Kara steps into the room. "Hey..." she greets.
She glares at her twin. "I want to use the bathroom! They won't even let me out of bed to use it!" Livingston rolled his eyes and then looked at Supergirl.
"We are already going to bat with a strike." He told her, fortunately she knew about baseball.
Kara cringes a bit, "I'm going to bring someone in here... because even though I know you won't approve... it's something I have to do." She swallows, "come in please," she calls over her shoulder. Winn walks in next to Supergirl, "hello... Kara Queen," he says in a small voice, obviously nervous.
"What in Rao! Kara what are you playing at?" She asked angry. "I don't want anyone seeing me like this! Especially him!" She accused looking at Winn.
"Get out! All of you! This is beyond embarrassing!" She pulled on her cuffs desperately wanting out of the humiliating situation.
Supergirl walks over to her, "I know, but you need to see him... I need to speak with the other you," she says firmly.
"I am me! Quit talking like I am two people!" She shouted at her twin, anger now being fueled by the overwhelming humiliation. She pulled violently at the cuffs. Kara could see she was damaging the kryptonite emitters in the cuffs. Hitting them against the side of the bed where she was locked.
Supergirl rushes to her bedside and takes her hands, looking at her in the eye. "I'm sorry... I really am."
"If she breaks free..." Livingston whispered to Kara.
"Sorry about what!" She snapped still struggling.
Supergirl stares into her eyes, "I need to know the intentions of the Dark Sorceress inside of you before she comes out in the future when we're unprepared," she swallows.
"I told you I am me! There are no two sides to me!" She tried hard to rise off the bed, she managed to break the chest strap, but the cuffs were still in place.
Kara Queen growled as she kept hitting the cuffs against her bed rail.
Supergirl realizes she's doing exactly what Lena did to Sam when having to force her to change. She hates herself for doing this even more, "Winn?" she holds Kara Queen's wrists in place.
"Uh yeah?" He asked hesitantly not wanting to get near her.
Making sure Kara Queen will not get free, "please, step forward. I promise I won't let her get free... she won't harm either of you."
Supergirl got too close to Kara Queen as she broke the chest strap and managed to head butt her hard making her fall away.
"Uh No," he replied watching her get hit away.
Kara grumbles to herself as she gets back up, "that didn't go as planned," she takes her wrists again.
Livingston groaned. "This isn't working. You are going to get hurt Supergirl." He warned.
Kara looks at Dr. Livingston, "I'll be fine," she looks back at her. "You and I both know you need to keep those on to protect the rest of us until we know more."
Kara Queen pulls on the cuffs again, they are about to snap.
Livingston back peddles and runs to Hamilton. "Give me that dart gun of yours now!"
Supergirl grips the cuffs and holds them tightly. "Look at me!"
"What?" She bit out about to break the cuffs.
Livingston came back in with the gun. Hamilton was standing in back of him.
Supergirl grits her teeth and reacts, punching her in the head. "I'm really sorry... I'm really... really sorry."
"You should be!" She saw the sparks fly out of her fingers and was free in an instant of the kryptonite cuffs. "What are you trying to prove little twin? Weaker twin? Pathetic twin?" She growled snapping the waist strap and her leg straps. She was free, and she was angry.
"Should I shoot?" Livingston asked quickly
Supergirl gets up quickly, feeling her blood boil at the comments. "You are turning me into someone I'm not... I'm not proud of what I'm doing!"
Hamilton called on for the militia again, and immediately told J'onn.
Supergirl balls her hand into a fist, "but I need to know what I'm up against!" She points at her, "sit down!"
"What?" She taunted standing up. "Can't handle the truth?" She smirked. "No." She replied standing.
"I think I should shoot," Livingston suggested to Supergirl.
Supergirl stands before her, taking deep breaths and grabbing onto her shoulders. "I won't let you get under my skin... your smarter than that Kara Queen. You and I both know you are afraid."
"I am not sitting. Not for you not for anyone." She strode to the isolation room bathroom. She pushed Supergirl away and went in to close the door. They waited a few minutes - then heard the resounding crash.
Supergirl bursts through the bathroom door and through the new hole, chasing after her. She is nowhere to be found. She sees agents on the floor dazed. Supergirl focuses on her heart beat and takes off as fast as she can.
Following the trail of the dazed agents she is on the balcony about to launch.
"STOP!" Supergirl exclaims and goes after her and tackles her.
"Get off me!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"No," Supergirl pins her into place.
She throws Kara off with the full fire power of the Sorceress. Kara flies off and hits a far wall dazed and shocked.
"Please..." she staggers, "what do you want!" Supergirl unleashes her heat vision.
Mon El launched himself at her, punching her as hard as he could with the legion ring speed and strength. Enraged she threw wizard fire at him, he barely had time to fly away, seeing the wall smoking and charred where he just was. Hamilton ran in as did Livingston both with kryptonite dart guns.
"What is your purpose?" Supergirl demands as she rushes into her.
"My purpose?" She paused. "What do you mean?"
Supergirl looks her in the eye, "you are in control of her body... you spoke that you knew me... I want to know what you want and what your goal is."
She paused. "To get away from here. Be free!" She turned to leave.
Supergirl takes her shoulder, "I need to know if down the road we can be allies. If this is the case," she swallows. "I won't have you in chains... I know you are stronger than me... I admit to that. But, there will come a time when we need each other."
"Why would I need you?" She growled, the electricity dancing on her fingertips.
Supergirl looks at her seriously, "I have friends... you do not."
"Supergirl move away so we have a clear shot!" The two doctors told her, aiming their guns at the two of them.
"I don't need friends." She replied over her shoulder about to launch through the window.
"You want freedom?" Supergirl asks.
Mon El stood up, he shook his head from colliding into a wall.
She moves to stand in front of her, "I know someone else who has a dark being inside of them. But they work together, when a fight arises... the darkness comes out to fight by her side. There will come a time when your powers will have no effect on your enemy and you'll need me then."
Annoyed she paused. "Are you deaf besides being stupid? I already told you that is what I want- and it is through this window!" She crouched down ready to jump.
"If you agree to this, you'll get your suit back, I get my friend back and no more cuffs," Supergirl states.
"Freedom!" She jumps. The doctors fire their darts but only two hit their target. The other two fly harmlessly out the window.
Supergirl takes off after her in a shot and uses her heat vision.
She reaches over while flying and pulls one out of her back, the other out of her shoulder. She threw them to the ground and flew away.
The heat vision hits her hard and she starts to go down. Supergirl grabs onto her.
She looks back and sees her twin, she fires back with the lightning hitting Kara hard in the shoulders.
It cuts deep into her collarbone.
Mon El flew up and grabbed her, restraining hands and arms to her side mid flight. She was weakening from her ordeal and the darts.
Supergirl cries out at the lightning hit and falters in her flying briefly before reaching the two and helping him grab her. "This is my fault, I'm sorry," she looks at Mon-El. She looks at Kara Queen and slams her head onto her forehead.
Kara Queen falls from the sky as the impact of the two Supers tore Kara Queen. Right out of Mon El's grasp.
Supergirl holds onto her tightly through the impact, shuddering as her shoulders still hurt a lot but thankful it is dark out. She slowly rises and lifts her twin in her arms, "well that answers that..."
"What?" Mon El asked helping hold the unconscious woman exposed due to her gown being ripped in spots.
Supergirl wraps her cape around her, "her words cut as deep as her powers... but she has no plans. She's not like the World Killers... which makes her just as dangerous as she can choose to do whatever she wants without morals."
"Yeah and no kind of code which makes it that much harder to fight her." He said agreeing, "We are screwed Kara."
She flies with him back to the DEO, "I had to know... I had to push her to talk to that other side of her... for when she does come out. I became someone I'm not proud of to get this information," she uses a free hand to apply pressure to her collar bone when she realizes she's bleeding. "How to work with Kara Queen... if it's even her that wakes up next time... she'll need to see security footage."
"Are you not happy because you had to fight her to bring out the Sorceress?" He asked.
She looks at him as they near the balcony, "I'm not happy because of how I humiliated my twin... I forced her to change... I hit her to change and got slapped in the face with reality."
"I understand. I am pretty sure she will remember some of this too." He told her sadly.
Supergirl looks at him sadly, "I'm sorry you nearly got roasted," she wants to hold him but can't, yet. She watches as medical come and J'onn shows up looking quite upset.
"What were you thinking Supergirl?" J'onn asks.
She passes off Overgirl, "I know... I overstepped... I had to talk to the dark one in Kara Queen and I should have talked to you about it first-"
"Darn right you should have spoken to me about this first! I was out with my father thinking the excitement of the evening was over! I hear you pushed Kara Queen without proper protection from my agents and had to chase her down... again!" J'onn says clearly frustrated. "She may be your twin, but when it comes to my place, my people, you need to come to me Supergirl," he says firmly and sees the wounds on her shoulders. "Go and get checked out... both of you," he looks at Mon-El.
Supergirl nods and knows she took over with her own thing, she did risk Winn and Dr. Livingston by assuming her plan would work right away and didn't anticipate her to escape. She takes Mon-El's hand, "he's right... I didn't plan it through and so many could have been hurt... I'll wait till he calms down and talk to him about it later," she smiles weakly at him.
"Let's go get checked out." He suggested.
They saw Lillian and she directed them both to diagnostic chairs.
She immediately had a nurse treat Kara's wounds while Lillian hooked her to the monitors. Same with Mon El. His injuries were also treated by the nurse.
"Blew up on you, didn't she?" Lillian Luthor asked.
Supergirl groans and nods, "yes... she's stronger than Reign... and I'm not proud of it," she looks up and winces as they work. "I think I miss the shocks from Leslie over this."
Looking at Mon-El, "are you okay?"
"You are going on the sun bed." Luthor told her telling the nurse to ready it. Lillian grabbed a pillow and handed it to Kara. "You know where it is." She pointed at the bed in the next room.
"And you, you need to rest in this bed over here." She handed Mon El a medical gown. He frowned at her, then at Kara going into the next room.
Frowning, she takes the pillow, "thanks..."
"Why am I getting admitted?" He asked concerned.
"You have a slight concussion. I want to keep you for observation." He frowned again and headed to the bathroom.
Overgirl was waking up, she was in pain Dr. Hamilton noticed finishing restraining her.
Kara Queen glared at Hamilton while tightening the belts over her.
"No movement at all?" She asked angry.
Supergirl glanced over as she put her pillow onto the sun bed and frowns. "I'll be right back," she tells Lillian, "I promise," and walks over to Overgirl.
"What the hell Kara!" She glared at Supergirl angrily.
She ducks her head down, "I'm sorry... I really am... I had to know what I could be dealing with in the future." Supergirl looks at her sadly, "I'm sorry for what I did to you."
"You wanted to get yourself killed?" She growled. She saw her twin was hurt. "I hurt you didn't I? Why did you goad me into attacking you?"
Supergirl presses her lips together and sits down, "I had to know what I'd be up against... I admit I should have talked to J'onn about sorting out a proper plan or you so I wouldn't hurt you in the end or humiliate you. I'm sorry about that..." She rubs at her shoulder a little to ease up the muscles. "Yes but... I hit you with my heat vision."
"So you angered the Sorceress me." She nodded understanding. "I am deeply sorry I hurt you, I don't seem to be able to control it."
Supergirl shakes her head, "don't be, please," she touches her arm. "I did something I shouldn't have... when I'm healed, I'll get you a treat, okay?" Looking around she picks up a tablet. Tapping her ear piece, "Winn, send me the footage from the private room to the tablet here... no just after I hit her... yes." She takes a deep breath and shows her the footage.
"They are never going to let me out!" She groaned miserably. She saw nurse reattaching all the equipment on and in her. Hamilton staring over her arms crossed overseeing everything.
"Are you at least going to give me a painkiller for the darts in my system?" She bit out to Hamilton.
"Kara go to the sun bed now." Hamilton instructed.
Supergirl looks at Dr. Hamilton, "please, help her out. If I hadn't of interfered she would not have gotten out."
"I don't want her to suffer. Of course I will help her.
She gives Overgirl the tablet, "here... you need to see her... need to be aware," she frowns and steps away, "she knows me clearly."
"Here," she handed the nurse the catheter tube, she is restrained indefinitely. Be gentle." She takes Supergirl by the hand and leads her to the sun bed.
"See what?" Kara asked watching carefully as the nurse inserted the IV with the kryptonite needle.
"Now Supergirl!" Hamilton told her stopping at the bed.
She hissed between her teeth at the pain.
Overgirl would see how she changed on the bed, hear the harsh words and see how she got out of the restrains as though they are paper and begin taunting. That was all the footage Winn sent over. Supergirl groans and lies on her sun bed, staring up at the panels above her and starts going over ideas.
"Just sleep." Hamilton told her lowering the panels closer to her. "You have drained your solar cells" she placed a hand on her arm to comfort her, then walked back to Kara Queen. The nurse had finished administering and attaching everything to the stricken Kryptonian.
"I hate this!" She growled to the nurse still watching the footage.
Nervous from the powerful alien she finished up and walked away.
Supergirl reluctantly closes her eyes and falls asleep shortly after.
"Why am I indefinitely restrained?" She growled at Hamilton.
Dr. Hamilton, "we're bringing in Dr. Livingston to talk with you. He will decide if you are safe enough to go free again."
"Oh joy!" She exclaimed sarcastically.
As if on cue, Dr. Livingston steps in, holding his notepad and trying to show confidence over being nervous. "Hello Kara Queen, I'm sorry about the circumstances," he takes a seat next to her. "We have much to talk about," he gives her a sad smile. "From what I've heard... you seemed less affected by the events that transpired off Earth than your twin."
"I was affected. I just hid it better. I am not happy with being chained like an animal!" She seethed. "These cuffs are at the highest charged setting and hurt! I am not the Sorceress now- why should I be punished? It was her that escaped!"
She pulled on them again, but the extra charge simply sapped her strength. "Arghh!" She shouted, Let me go!"
He reaches over and takes her hand, "if this chat ends well, I'll have them removed. Deal?" He offers.
Dr. Livingston sighs, looking at his notes, "tell me what happened, please."
"How do I know I can trust you? What do you mean what happened?" She bit out angry again.
He rests his hands on his lap, "what happened between you and Kara Danvers?"
"She apparently wanted to unleash the Sorceress and she did!" She pulled on the belts, they were constricting her.
"How do you feel about that?" He eyes her in curiosity. "Do you feel betrayed? Relieved?"
"I am very angry over this!" She bit out.
"Over what part? Please, relax Kara Queen... I promise if this all goes well I will have you freed."
"What do you think doctor?"
Dr. Livingston groans, "I think you feel betrayed by someone you are close with. You're angry at her for pushing you into something you didn't want... but until you talk to me about it more, I can't say for sure."
"You got it doctor. These cuffs hurt!" She whined.
He watches her closely and turns down the cuffs to medium. To try and gain some trust from her and to get her to calm down, "better?"
"Yes, thank you. The sting is not as bad now."
"Good," he smiles, "how is your relationship with Kara Danvers now? I understand you and she got close, but I don't know details nor how things stand between the two of you now."
"We were close...too close. We are not as close now."
Sitting back, he writes down some notes, "too close?" He looks up at her."
"Yes, we sought for comfort from each other. It was a fling and nearly ruined my marriage.
"Ahhh..." he writes down some notes, "are things well between you and Oliver now or?" He sits up and un-straps her legs restraint.
"Not really. I can tell he still resents me. And I think he is afraid of me."
Tilting his head to the side, "what makes you think this?" He places his pen down
"He was staying with my foster sister. He hit on her. I believe he would rather have been with her."
"I am not able to handle this humiliating experience much longer." She bit out.
Crossing his legs, "I heard he stayed with her to avoid Supergirl..." he takes his pen and jots down notes. "And you said he fears you? Sorry... that you think he fears you?"
"Yes I am a Sorceress after all. And can kill indiscriminately!"
Dr. Livingston moves forward, "after seeing your reaction with Agent Schott your change to her seems to be with extreme aggression. However, if you're going to be working here you'll need to address this so you can work side by side with him." He looks thoughtfully. "You need to discuss with your husband your concerns."
"I don't feel he would be here with you if he didn't still love you, however sense you feel quite hurt by his actions and perhaps he doesn't know?" He offers and removes the strap from across her chest.
She sits up. "Please I am hurting from all oppression and abuse. They tried to kill me on Earth X."
"All they wanted was to destroy me!" She started to cry.
Dr. Livingston turns the cuffs off, seeing her open up to him, he keeps up with his end of the deal. "What did they do to you on your planet? You were up on charges from the war, correct but they didn't treat you properly?"
"They set me up for a firing squad. If it hadn't been for the extra strength of the Sorceress- I would have died." She admitted sadly.
He leans forward, "I'm sorry to hear that," he removes the remaining belts and straps from her and sits back. "The penalties for war crimes are often harsh... and I'm sorry about how they treated you. They haven't seen the changes we have... all in all you've been through one ordeal after another."
"It seems that way." She agreed softly, still saddened by the near death.
Dr. Livingston writes down some notes, "I know that your changes to the Sorceress is due to anger... we need to keep you calm. I am going to recommend you go under the sun lamps to make sure your replenished. After that I suggest when your husband gets back you need to talk with him and talk with Kara Danvers and... hmmm we still need to address Agent Schott."
"I was told I didn't want to come back in my mind. I have no recollection of that. I do know I went to my planet to face death and shouldn't have cheated it. The Sorceress wouldn't let me die!"
"General shot tried to kill me. He designed the three kryptonite bullets that were used to kill me."
He looks up at this news, "didn't want to come back? Was this the Sorceress speaking to you?" He shakes his head, "much like the other I know that when it comes to dealing with the darkness she won't let the body die easily."
The sorceress- I killed him and all the others of the firing squad. Wizard fire annihilated them."
"I don't like seeing Agent Schott's face. I can't see him. He brings the darkness out in me."
Dr. Livingston listens and writes some notes, "hmmm... we need to fix that trigger."
"Please...I am Kryptonian I am fine. I don't want to stay here. Other than being sore from the darts- you and Hamilton shot me with, I am fully recovered. I want to leave this Med Bay." She told him still calm.
Dr. Livingston closes up his notepad, "okay... this was a good first session, but I'd like to see you tomorrow. No cuffs, no emitters... I just ask you to do the 3 things I suggested."
"What 3 things? Are you releasing me?"
He nods and counts them off, "sun bed... talk with Oliver and a talk with Kara Danvers, I am releasing you on the condition you come in tomorrow at 3."
"Where is my suit?"
Dr. Livingston sits back, "in a bin under your bed."
She waited for him to unlock the cuffs.
Standing up he unlocks the cuffs.
She laid in bed a moment, processing that she was free.
"I am a doctor of my word," he steps aside.
"When do you want me on the sun bed?" She finally asked.
Dr. Livingston looks at his watch, "you can do it now or sometime today. But I recommend the sooner the better. Get your strength back."
She swallowed. "Okay. I will do it now. I am already here." She detached herself from all the apparatus. Waited for him to remove her IV.
Once he left she rid herself of the more personal apparatus that had been attached. She looked in the bin and found her beloved suit. The leather had been replaced in sections. It was good as new.
Smiling she quickly took it and went into the bathroom to change.
She came out from the bathroom feeling like Overgirl again. She grabbed her pillow and went to the other Sun bed next to her twin.
The nurse set it up, and she laid down on it with her pillow.
This was a challenge for me to write Kara taking a step into the dark side, and having her recognize it, what do you think?
