Thank you all for the feedback. I hope you're enjoying the story so far, and let's begin.
Chapter 5: Nature Vs. Nurture
Alex was pacing back and forth in the DEO, with tears running down her cheeks.
"Alex," J'onn began. "We're going to find them."
"And then what?" Alex replied enraged. "Kara doesn't even remember anything about Earth."
"We'll find a way."
"How? Unlike Winn, Kara's kryptonian and you can't get inside a kryptonian's mind."
"I believe I can help in that regard." an unfamiliar voice said walking to J'onn and Alex. "Allow me to introduce myself. Milton Fine." he said offering a hand to J'onn and Alex. "I'm an expert on alien and meta human DNA. The president has asked that I assist in the super kryptonian matter until it is resolved."
"What did you mean when you said you could help?" Alex asked desperately.
"This Von guy wiped Kara's memories of Earth, correct?" Alex nodded. "In my experience, I've never met an alien or meta that could destroy memories. Suppress and forget perhaps, but never permanently remove."
"What are you saying?" J'onn asked.
"I believe that you can trigger these suppressed memoires by exposing her to loved ones, familiar places, things like that."
"But in order to do that, we're going to need to get close to her, and Von isn't going to just let us go near her." Alex commented.
"Von got to Superman, so we can't ask him to help us." J'onn added.
"And with Von being immune to kryptonite, we can't solely rely on that." Alex stated. "We're going to need back up."
"I have an idea." Winn yelled running in.
"What do you mean?" Alex asked.
"Let's just say Kara knows some people from kinda far away." Winn responded holding a small device in his hand.
"You want to..." J'onn asked, until Winn nodded.
"Want to what?" Alex asked not knowing exactly what they were talking about.
"When Kara was attacked by that prisoner, we went into another universe for help." J'onn explained.
"The Flash guy's universe?" Alex asked. Winn and J'onn nodded in response.
Winn then pressed the device, and a portal opened.
"So, who wants to go first." Winn asked.
Apartment
Von and Kara walked into an apartment.
Kara looking around asked. "How did you get this apartment?"
"Let's just say I'm very persuasive." Von replied.
Kara sighed. "So, what now?"
Von began coughing excessively, and Kara want up to him.
"I'm fine." Von said, causing Kara to step back. "I'm sorry, it's just that I've been waiting a long time to leave this Rao forsaken planet."
"I don't disagree." Kara said in response. "But what about Kal-El?"
"Kal-El will join us, but first I need to talk to someone."
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter. But I need you to listen to me. No matter what, do not trust anyone you don't recognize, no matter what they say or know. Do you understand?"
Kara nodded. "Of course."
"Good. I'll be back soon."
When Von walked out the door, he looked at his own blood on his hand that he coughed out earlier.
Star Labs
A portal opened, and Alex, J'onn and Winn walked out of it.
"So this is Star Labs?" Winn said looking around the room. "Not that impressive if you ask me."
Immediately, a trail of yellow lightening came towards them. When the trail ended, all of them saw a dark haired man.
"J'onn? Winn?" he asked.
"Hey Barry, it's good to see you again." Winn greeted
"It's good to see you to." Barry said shaking J'onn and Winn's hands. "And you are?"
"Sorry, I'm Alex Danvers, Kara's sister." Alex said shaking his hand.
"Good to meet you. So, where is Kara?"
Frowning faces appeared after he mentioned her, but their moment of silence was interrupted, when another man came running down towards them.
"Who are they?" he screamed pointing his fist at them.
"Cisco relax, it's J'onn and the other." Barry said intervening.
Cisco then lowered his arm and replied. "Oh, great to meet you all, I'm Cisco Ramon."
"Alex Danvers."
"Winn Schott."
"We need you're help." J'onn said getting back to the matter at hand. "Kara's been taken and brainwashed by her super powered half-brother."
"What, Kara has a brother?" Barry asked, and they all nodded in response.
"And to make matter worse, he's more powerful than Kara, and is without any of her weaknesses."
"So you want us to help you save her and stop him?" Cisco asked, and they all nodded. "Sweet, I'm in."
"Kara's my friend, so yeah I'll help." Barry announced.
"Thanks." Alex began. "But he's no joke. We're going to need more than just the two of you if we're going up against him."
"I've got a few friends I can call." Barry replied.
Later
Everyone stood outside Star Labs waiting for their reinforcements.
"How long do we have to wait?" Alex asked getting tired.
"Well, Oliver should be here soon, and the Legends shouldn't be late at all considering that they have a time machine."
"Wait, a time machine?" Winn asked.
"Yeah, time travel is kind of a thing in our universe." Cisco responded. "Just ask Barry, he's done it several times now."
"This better not involve aliens again Barry!" a brown haired man yelled walking to them.
Barry smiled. "Sorry Ollie, but it kinda does."
"Yeah well I guess I shouldn't be too surprised anymore."
"Guys, this is Oliver Queen, or better known as the Green Arrow." Barry said introducing Oliver.
"Nice to meet you." Oliver said shaking Alex, Winn and J'onn's hands. "Now what exactly is happening?"
"Before we explain, we should wait for everyone else." J'onn suggested.
"Where's John, Felicity and everyone else?" Barry asked.
"I asked them to stay behind and watch Star City while I'm gone."
Just then, a large ship appeared in the sky, and started to land in the parking lot.
"Time machine?" Winn asked.
Cisco nodded. "Time machine, or time ship to be more accurate."
When the ship landed, several people exited.
"It's good to be back." a blonde woman announced.
"Yeah, I want to see if my favorite bar is open." a bald headed man said.
"It's noon." a dark haired man responded.
"And?"
"Guys." Barry said interrupting their conversation.
"Right, sorry." the blonde woman apologized. "Sara Lance."
"Nate Heywood."
"Professor Martian Stein."
"Jefferson Jackson."
"Amaya Jiwe."
"Ray Palmer."
The last one didn't introduce himself.
"Say your name." Sara demanded.
"How do I know they won't steal my identity if I do?" he suggested.
Sara groaned. "His name is Mick Rory."
"Great, now they have everything they need." Mick said.
"And you're all time travelers?" Winn asked.
"More or less." Nate responded.
"Why are we all here?" Jefferson asked.
"Supergirl's been abducted." Alex said. "And we need your help to rescue her."
"Skirt?" Mick asked.
CatCo Tower
Lena was sitting in her office, when Von walked in.
Lena looked up from her desk and asked. "You're Von right?" Von nodded. "If you're looking for Kara she's not here. In fact, she's missed the past week of work."
"That's probably because I erased her memories of her Earth life." Von replied.
Concern appeared on Lena's face. "What?"
"In fact, I need you to work on something else including the ship."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh right, you don't remember. Well basically I hypnotized you into working on a spaceship for me and my family, and I had you forget it as well."
"You're insane."
"That might be true." Von's eyes then made contact with Lena's and glowed blue, entrancing Lena.
"Now, I need to to anazyle this." Von said putting a vial of blood on Lena's desk. "It's a sample of my blood. I think something is wrong with me, but I don't know for sure yet. I'll check back in another day. By then, you will have results for me."
"I will have results."
"Oh and forget this ever happened." Von said ending the hypnotism. "Good luck." he said leaving Lena's office.
DEO
"What the plan?" Barry asked.
"I am going to try and get thought to Kara." Alex began. "But I can't do that if Von is going interfere. So I need all of you to hold him back until I can break his hold over Kara."
"But how are we going to get him away from the civilians?" J'onn asked.
"Leave that to me." Cisco stated confidently.
Streets
Von was walking, when Cisco bumped into him walking.
"Watch where you're going." Von said to Cisco.
"I could say the same thing to you." Cisco said as he opened a wormhole beneath Von, causing him to fall into it.
When Von appeared on the other side of the wormhole in the middle of the dessert, and he saw two guys in front of him.
"Who the hell are you two?" he asked prepared to attack.
"Well, I'm the Flash and this is Green Arrow. We're friends of Kara's, and we're stop you."
Von laughed. "Really? Robin Hood and lighting bolt is going to stop me?"
"Yep." Oliver replied. "But not alone."
Confusion stuck Von's face, until he was pushed back when a fire ball hit him.
"Hello Von, I'm Firestorm." he said flying in the air.
Von immediately got up from the ground and responded "Well Firestorm, meet freeze breath."
Von then used his freeze breath on Firestorm, and he want tumbling to the ground.
"Who's next?!" Von yelled.
After that comment, several people revealed themselves, and surrounded Von. But all he did was smile.
Apartment
Kara was watching TV, when Alex walked in. Kara seeing this backed up.
"Who are you?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"
Alex could barely fight back her tears at seeing this. "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you."
Kara scoffed. "Yeah, forgive me if I don't believe you."
"Kara, the only reason you can't remember me is because Von brainwashed you."
Kara chuckled. "Brainwashed? Please, how could he have done that?"
"He gained that power after taking a serum made by your people." Kara still had disbelief on her face. "Please Kara, I'm telling you the truth. There must be some part of you that knows something is wrong."
Kara with anger throughout her entire face, walked up to Alex and with one hand, grabbed Alex's throat and pushed her to the other side of the room.
"Kara... please." Alex pleaded with Kara still chocking her. "I'm your sister. Eliza and Jeremiah are your foster parents. Winn, James, Lena, J'onn their your friends. Please Kara... the world needs Supergirl... and we need you."
Alex couldn't breath anymore, and passed out. Kara seeing this dropped Alex and stared at her for a few seconds.
"Supergirl?" she said to herself, and immediately got flooded with all of her memories.
"Von? Alex?" Kara asked as she realized what just happened. She immediately went to Alex and started pressing on her heart. "Come on Alex, breath, live please!" Kara screamed begging Alex to survive. Just then, Alex inhaled and Kara wrapped her arms around her big sister, began to cry and said. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry."
Alex returning the hug and beginning to cry as well replied. "It's okay. It wasn't your fault."
Kara separated and asked. "What about Von?"
"We're holding him off, but not for long."
"He has Clark, and I don't know where."
"We need him then. But we need to capture him, and I don't know how."
"I have an idea."
Desert
Firestorm, Amaya, Sara, Nate, and Ray were down on the ground. Oliver and Barry were barely standing up, and Mick was using his fire gun on Von, but he easily walked through the fire.
Mick seeing this lowered his gun and said. "I never met someone I couldn't burn."
Von smiled and replied. "Well, I guess there's a first time for everything." He then hit Mick in the gut, which sent him flying back and hitting the ground, rendering him unconscious.
Oliver pulled back his bow and shot a kryptonite arrow into Von. His veins glowed green, but immediately faded.
"Really?" Von asked removing the arrow. "Sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm kinda difficult to hurt."
Just then, something or someone flew in and knocked Von to the ground. That someone was Kara who then landed next to Barry and Oliver.
"Difficult, but not impossible." she said referring the Von's previous comment.
"Kara." Barry said happily.
"Hey guys, it's good to see you again."
"You too." Oliver replied.
Von got up, and had nothing but anger and disappointments written on his face. "How did you break my mind control?"
"By remembering my family."
"That would be me."
"No Von, family is more than just blood. I know you want one and I'm willing to help you become part of mine, but first you have to put effort into it. And you can start by telling us where Clark is."
Von smiled. "Kal? Sorry sis, but that's for me to know and for you to find out."
Kara sighed. "I want you to know, I'm sorry it came to this."
Confusion appeared on his face, until he turned around and something attached to his chest. He immediately fell to the ground with his eyes closed, appearing to be completely knocked out.
"What was..." Barry asked but was interrupted.
"Black Mercy." Alex said. "It was able to immobilize Kara and now we know it can immobilize a super kryptonian."
"What are we going to do know?" Oliver asked.
"Get your friends to the infirmary." Kara replied. "I'm going to try to get into Von's head and see if I can find my cousin."
And so it comes to an end. If you liked it leave a review, fav, follow and I'll see you in the next chapter.
