Chapter Twenty-One

Your world needs you

"Chloe…Chloe," a faraway voice called.

The blonde groaned as she opened her eyes. Pa Kent was hovering above her, a worried look upon his face.

"Mr. Kent?"

"Are you alright girl? What happened?"

Chloe quickly seated up, remembering what had happened.

"Oh my god, Lara," she said.

"What does Lara have to do with this? Is she alright?"

"Mr. Kent," Chloe started, "I don't know what's going on but something happened to Lara, and we've got to stop her…before she do anything else."

"Chloe what are you talking about?" Mr. Kent asked, "What happened with Lara?"

He helped her on her feet and Chloe said.

"She got too close to Black Kryptonite, and it changed her somehow. It makes her lose any compassion she had for humanity. She had become something…dangerous."

"How will you find her?"

Chloe frowned.

"I have a good idea where she might be right now."

Metropolis Hospital

Supergirl entered the building, walking decisively her cape flowing behind her. She got many looks from the people but she ignored them. Arriving at the front desk, she asked, "Which room is Lex Luthor in?"

"Do you have any business with Mr. Luthor?"

"Unfinished business," she answered coolly.

"Then take them to me Supergirl," a voice announced.

She turned toward it. Neil Luthor stood there a blank look on his face as his gray blue eyes observed her.

"Neil Luthor," the girl of steel said walking toward him.

Neil raised his fist at her, the little green kryptonite on his ring glowed briefly as Supergirl stepped back.

"Do you really think that I was going to let you see my dad after what you did to him," Neil snapped at her.

"No, I did not," Supergirl said as her eyes glowed red.

She fired a blast at his hand causing him to yell out in pain, as the heat vision burned his flesh and destroying the Kryptonite ring. The screams echoed around as Supergirl walked past Neil, and using her X-ray vision to quickly scan the building and then turned toward the fallen man, picking him up by the throat.

"Where is he?" she growled.

"A…Away from….you," Neil sputtered as he was being strangled by the iron grip.

"Let him go Supergirl," a voice called.

Supergirl tossed Neil aside like a rag doll turning toward the police officer and frying the guy with her heat vision. Then she walked out of the hospital finding many police car and SWAT teams with guns aiming toward her. She illuminated her heat vision throwing the cars in large balls of flames as they opened fire upon her, which the bullets simply bounced off of her skin as she grinned.

They are all so pathetic, she thought, why did you even protect them…when you can conquer them?

But the only thing that will stand against her will be the Justice League.

Well, let's call them out then, Supergirl grinned as she floated into the air, with a little destruction.

Phantom Zone

Lara was dressed in the Kryptonian robes that her mother, Lia, had given her, and she had put on a similar mask to hide her features. Now, she was following the woman through the treacherous landscape that was the Zone. The wind was blowing strongly through their clothes, causing Lara to squint her eyes so that she could see through the sands that were blowing into her face.

"You've never told me how you've ended in the Zone?" Lara asked her when she was elbow to elbow with the woman.

"I was sent here Leia-El," Lia answered her, "Just like everyone in this hell."

Lara blinked a little but didn't ask.

"Here we are," Lia said, "Jor-El's Gate."

Across them stood a triangular shaped way with tall crystal columns crisscrossing each other, looking decayed with age. Lara thought it looks largely similar to the Fortress she had back on Earth. They approached closer to the large structure and before they could enter it, someone stepped out from behind one of the pillars, causing the two to stop.

He was dark haired with a bear as he watched them coldly.

"Dru-Zod," Lia said, tensing a little.

The man smiled.

"Lia," he said, "What brings you to the Gate of Jor-El?"

"Funny," Lia said, "I was about to ask you the same thing."

Zod laughed.

"You really believe that I was going to let the new prisoner here. The entire Zone is aware of the girl which bears the great resemblance toward you. Is she your sister…or your child?"

"His gaze fixated at Lara who stiffened.

"Take off your mask," he ordered, "Both of you."

Lara had seen the small group that neared them, armed with crud weapons some masked, others not. Then she glanced toward Lia who nodded briefly before taking off her mask. Lara followed suite as Zod advanced forward, his eyes taking in her appearances.

She is definitely your child Lia," he said, "But her eyes remind me of Jor-El's eyes…and that look…you married Jor-El's son. I knew of little Kal-El back then and this girl here shares the blood of the House of El. With her all of us can finally be free of this place."

He lunged forward but Lia had intercepted his movements stepping between him and Lara taking hold of the man's wrist. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"I won't let you touch her," she spat at him.

Zod smirked.

"As if you can stop us," he said.

Lia suddenly stepped back toward Lara as the group encircling them.

"Kill Lia and bring the girl to me," Zod ordered them.

They attacked, and the two girls fought back. Lara knew how to fight but without her powers, it was much more difficult but it also means that she doesn't have to hold back. Lia, herself, was holding well on her own taking down guys as if they were nothing before glancing toward her daughter.

"Make for the Gate, hurry."

"Come with me," Lara said, I'm not leaving you here."

Lia nodded at her as they both made for the Gate, finding a small column standing in the middle of the structure. As Lara approached it, she can see the symbol of the House of El that was carved upon it.

"There it is," Lia said to her, "Put your palm on it and activate the…"

She was abruptly cut off and Lara turned toward it.

Zod had appeared out of nowhere and took hold of the woman from behind causing Lara to widen her eyes, but Lia slammed her elbow upon the man's ribcages causing him to grunt in pain. Then, Lia let out a gasp of pain, her eyes going wide for a moment and Lara saw a trail of blood seeping from her lips…

Lara eyes widened.

Then Zod dropped Lia on the ground holding the small bloody knife upon his hand.

"Now, daughter of El," he said.

Lara charged at him with a yell pushing the man down, her hands going straight for the throat. She didn't see nothing but red and wanted nothing more than to kill the man that she was strangling…but Lara forgotten one details that Zod is more used to fighting without having powers than her and the man send her of off him.

"You are more like Lia than I presume," he said, "She couldn't wait to get into a fight."

Lara launched a punch followed by a kick with both were blocked and Zod punched her straight into her guts causing her to gasp in pain and another punch was slammed upon her jaw knocking her down.

Lara shook her head as Zod took hold of her by the throat.

"Jor-El damned me to this place," he growled, "It will only be fair that someone on his bloodline let me escape."

"I…I will never…" Lara let out.

Zod let out a cold laughter.

"I didn't say you have a choice in the matter."

But before he could add anything more, Zod suddenly dropped her down as he let out a yell of pain clutching his leg. The bloody hand of Lia had stabbed the man's leg with the very same knife she was stabbed with and had crawled from behind him and give him a taste of his own medicine.

"YOU…." Zod started.

Lara took this moment that he was distracted to let out a punch heading straight for his face, feeling the nose breaking underneath her knuckles. Zod falls down toward the lower part of the structure, unconscious. Lara then ran toward her mother and saw that the woman was already pale from the loss of blood.

"Come with me. The yellow Sun will be able to help you heal," Lara said.

"Sorry…looks like…this is my stop," Lia smiled at her as blood continued to spill from her lips.

"No you can't die," Lara said, tears appearing from her eyes.

"He…He hit a vital spot…" Lia told her, "I…I won't survive…not even under the Yellow Sun…get out of here…Your world need you."

They heard a groan as Zod was starting to stir from his position.

"Go Leia-El," Lia said, "Go my daughter. I'm already proud of what you have become…for Earth…you…you would have…made for Father…proud…that much I know…"

Lara kissed the woman's forehead.

"I love you Mother," she said.

"And I you… my little Leia-El," she said, putting her necklace in the girl's hand, "Now…Go."

Lara nodded, tears still falling from her eyes and walked up the small column and putting her palm upon it. The symbol glowed brightly as light started to envelope her form. She threw one last glance at her mother who gives her a smile before everything disappeared from around her in a bright light.

And that's it for now.

The dark Supergirl started to cause trouble...some that could be disastrous for the Girl of steel
