Chapter Twenty

Light and Dark

Metropolis Hospital

Lex Luthor breathed life again as he opened his eyes. For one second, he thought that he was dead but the steady beeping sound of the heart rate monitor made him think otherwise. In that grogginess, he thought back to how he got in this mess.

Oh yeah, he remembered. Supergirl dropped him from his thirty story penthouse. Lex had know Supergirl long enough to know that the one who dropped him wasn't Supergirl…or at least, not fully the girl of steel. He needed to tell someone.

He knew what Supergirl was capable of, and having someone this powerful on the dark side.

The world will be totally annihilated.

"Dad?"

Neil, he thought.

His son's face came into view, white and worried.

"You're awake, thank God," Neil said, "You've been out of it for a few hours. It's morning already."

"N…Neil…"

"Don't talk Dad," Neil said, giving his hand a squeeze, "Conserve your strength."

I've had to tell him the danger, Lex thought, I've got to warn him…

As Neil was about to pull away, Lex took hold of his hand with the little strength he had.

"Supergirl…attack…black Kryptonite…Evil."

That was all he could get out before grogginess took over him again.

Supergirl had tracked Deathstroke down in New Jersey. It was him with a couple of his men along with him. She recognized them as the ones she had seen the day she had been separated.

His plan all along, she thought, his and Luthor.

A deadly grin grew on the girl of steel's lips.

She crashed through the roof, surprising the group hovering above them, as her eyes glows a dangerous red.

"Hello Deathstroke," she said.

"Seems Luthor's plan failed with that black stone seeing that you're still alive," Deathstroke said.

Supergirl's grin got even wider as the glow in her eyes intensified.

"Oh, it worked," she said landing on the ground, "Only not in his favor."

Deathstroke's eyes widened a little, as if he just realized something.

"You…you killed Luthor."

"And you're next," Supergirl said, before launching forward in super speed.

Screams echoed within the place as well as Supergirl's cruel laughter.

Neil stepped out of his father's hospital room. He couldn't really think of what his father had tried to tell him. Why would Supergirl attack him of all people? And what is Black Kryptonite?

"Neil…"

He glanced up at the voice, finding Chloe here again.

"Chloe, what are you doing here?"

"I passed by your office they say you were here," the blonde said, "You don't seem so well."

"Just something that my dad told me about Supergirl," Neil said.

Chloe blinked.

"What about it?"

"In the attack against my father, no one had seen who attacked him," Neil said, "he told me that Supergirl was the one who attacked him."

Chloe looked at him.

"That's…that's impossible," the blonde said, "Why would she attack him?"

"Why would my father lie?" Neil asked him, "and then he mentioned black kryptonite which I had no idea of what he was talking about."

Chloe narrowed her eyes a little before she turned around.

"Where are you going?" Neil asked.

"Something I have to do," she said.

Neil stood there watching her go before he sigh.

A few hours later, Chloe arrived at the farm finding Lara Kent with a dark version of the Supergirl outfit on the bed and she was putting her clothes back on.

"Hey Chloe," she said, giving her an easy smile.

"Tell me you didn't do it Lara?"

The said girl looked at her in confusion.

"Do what?"

"Attack Lex Luthor,"

Lara glanced at her for a moment and Chloe felt the air around the girl change a little. It was no longer friendly and welcoming but something dangerous and threatening. But when Lara, spoke, her voice still carries the same tone it had before.

"What makes you come to that conclusion Chloe?" she asked, looking at the blonde right in the eyes and Chloe sworn she saw a flash of red in them.

"I know what green kryptonite does to you," Chloe said, "Luthor told Neil about a black kryptonite…"

"Lex is alive?" Lara repeated, shocked.

"Yeah…," Chloe said, uncertainly and also wondering what this little fact surprised her so much.

"Guess dropping him didn't do him in then," Lara said, shrugging her shoulders, "I'll take care of this personally."

Chloe feel her breath shake slightly.

"Lara…you didn't…"

Before she could finish, she was taken by the throat by a powerful hand strangling her.

"Oh yes I did Chloe," she grinned a devilish gleam in her eyes, "You're the first to see through the look-alike…for what I truly am, a Kryptonian without emotions."

She threw the blonde backward, the girl slamming upon the wall, knocked unconscious as a gust of wind marked Lara's departure.

Phantom Zone

"So Krypton was destroyed after all," her mother, Lia, said softly.

Lara had finished telling her everything and also how she had gotten into the Zone.

"Yes," Lara said, "I'm sorry."

Lia stayed silent for a few moments, thought her body was shaking.

"Your grandfather…Jor-El, had predicted this was inevitable," Lia said, her voice still soft, "But no one believed him, and everyone thought he was a joke or mad…an entire civilization lost…"

She trailed off for a minute snapping her attention back at Lara.

"I've got to get you out of this Zone," Lia continued.

"We can get out?" Lara repeated.

"Every prison got an entrance Leia," she said smiling, "Jor-El built this place for anyone of his bloodline ended here could get out…meaning you can get out of here."

"Why didn't you use it?" Lara asked her.

Lia gives her a sad smile.

"I'm not related to Jor-El, I was simply married into the family."

She stood up and took a few of the rags like clothes that were in the corner and threw them toward Lara.

"Wear these," she said, "We don't want anyone to know that you're related to Jor-El…or the El family for that matter."

"Why?" Lara asked, throwing the dirty clothes on.

"Jor-El send a majority of those prisoners within the Zone," Lia told her, "Being part of the Council. They will love nothing but to have their revenge upon the House of El."

Lara sighed.

Joy.

"Let's go then."
