Chapter Twenty-Nine
A Father's Sacrifice
Hurts.
Hurts all over…
She doesn't remember falling down except the feeling of hurt all over and she wanted to go to sleep…anything to make the pain go away…
"Supergirl…Supergirl…Lara…"
Chloe…
The blonde's face swam in front of her as she felt someone arms around her shoulders.
"I…I did it Chloe."
It hurts to speak…hurts…everywhere.
"I know you did," Chloe said, sounding tearful, "You have saved Metropolis…the world even."
Lara can feel the tears falling on her face.
"Don't…cry…Chloe,"
Hurts…so…much…
"Don't you die on me," Chloe said, now sobbing freely, "Don't you die on me Lara Kent…"
"Sh…Secret," Lara breathed.
Her eyelids feel so…heavy…maybe she should just close them…just for a while.
"Hang in there Lara…Medics…someone call an ambulance."
Lara turned her eyes toward Chloe's face. She can see that the tears were still falling from her face. She raised a trembling hand toward Chloe's face wiping the tears away…
"Don't…cry…C…Chl…"
The last letters never made it out as darkness overcome Lara completely.
One moment Chloe was watching Lara's blue eyes, the next the head rolled sideway as the hand that was on her cheek falls back down on the ground. The blonde stared at the face in front of her before more tears started to fall as she leaned her head against the limp girl in her arms. Around her, people were standing around the crying blonde as the sirens of an ambulance pierced the still night air…
The entire cafeteria of Gotham University was silent. They were all watching the screen shocked at the image they were seeing right now and the caption that was on the bottom of the screen.
SUPERGIRL DEAD
No one had noticed Barbara Gordon walk out of the room with a cold mask for everyone to see. But when she had arrived at an corridor, she slowed her walk the memories of her last talk with Lara coming up in her mind. She had been so cruel to the girl, not even letting her talk…
"GET OUT, I don't want to see you anymore,"
Her body leant into a wall. Her entire being was shaking as the tears fell from her eyes, as she slid down upon the ground.
"I'm so sorry Lara, I'm so sorry,"
In Smallville, Ma Kent was crying softly with Pa Kent comforting her, though he also had tears in his eyes, but he was also feeling a sort of pride within him.
"My baby girl," Ma Kent, "My baby girl…"
On Amazon Island, Diana was seating upon the beach, looking at the distance. She was thinking about the day Lara had come here and told her the entire truth. She couldn't believe that Lara had kept such a secret from her…it was amazing that the girl she loved is so amazing in many ways…
Crack!
That sound snapped the Amazon out of her thought, feeling something falling from her neck. Her hand quickly caught it before it could fall in her clothes. When Diana pulled it out, she found that it was the necklace that Lara had given her on that day…
The day we confessed to each other, Diana thought.
She treasured that day in her heart. But now that necklace just broke…
W…What is that feeling? That growing shadow in my heart?
Metropolis
Chloe was seating upon a waiting chair in the hospital. She had been here ever since they have brought Supergirl in. Her eyes were still red with tears as she let out a sniffle or tow every once in a while. Her entire body was feeling like lead as she watched her hands which felt as cold as death…
"Chloe,"
She looked up, wiping her eyes a little. Neil Luthor stood in front of her, smartly dressed thought his hair was slightly wet from the rain outside as the thunder rumbled.
"Neil…what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I came to check on you…and how you were doing," he said approaching her.
Chloe looked forward.
"I'm fine…"
"No you're not," Neil told her, taking the seat beside her, "Why don't you head home and get some rest?"
"Neil…I don't want to…," Chloe said, then realized that Neil didn't know Lara was Supergirl. She didn't want to reveal the girl's secret.
"Maybe you're right," she said.
"If it makes you feel better," he said, "I'll give you a ride. It's raining cat and dogs out there."
Chloe nodded and stood up with him. She gave the hallway a glance, where she knew Supergirl…Lara was. Then, she turned around following Neil out of the hospital.
Around midnight, a nurse was doing her rounds around the hospital corridors. She was checking on how the patients were doing and if they were all in good health. She arrived into the corridor…the one which had Supergirl's room, and as she turned to corner, she came to a full stop.
She caught sight of a white clothed figure disappearing through the door. She stood there, blinking as if she had imagined the apparition before she ran toward the door, opening it.
The room was empty…and Supergirl's body was gone.
At the Fortress of Solitude, crystals were shifting from each other, retracing as a bed made of solar power take from and Lara body was right there, looking deathly pale dressed in the hospital gown that she had been dressed in at the hospital. Then Kal-El appeared, dressed in his white Kryptonian outfit, the black El symbol upon his chest. Then he approached his daughter's form, his blue eyes watching her with as much love a parent could give their child.
"You have traveled far, my little Leia-El," he said, "but your journey in this world is not yet over. You have redeemed yourself in my eyes, and in this world's eyes. I've watched over you, and I couldn't have been more proud of what you have accomplished in a battle that you may have known you wouldn't walk out alive, just as the true hero you have become."
He kneeled beside her.
"Your destiny is not to perish against Doomsday," Kal-El continued, "But it is something greater than you could ever imagine. For that, I will use the last bit of my energy to bring you back to this World. Do not be saddened for I wouldn't be here anymore. I had died on Krypton so that you could live when you were a child, I would gladly do it again today, so you can live once more…"
He leaned forward and lightly kissed his daughter's forehead. Then he put his hand upon the place he had just kissed.
"Remember me, Leia-El…remember me."
Then a warm energy enveloped Lara's entire body for a few second bathing her in a brilliant white light. When it dissipated, Kal-El was gone. Then the crystal started to cover Lara's body until she completely disappears beneath them.
A last goodbye from Kal-El...
I`m never good at writing emotional scenes for i always feel like I mess up somewhere. Hope you have enjoyed that.
