This is the last of the parter chapters. Hope you enjoy it and let's begin.

Chapter 9: As Time Goes By Part II

Kara on her family's balcony, staring at her home city.

"What are you thinking about?" Barry asked as he and Oliver walked up to her.

"Everything." she replied. "It feels... unreal to be back here again. To see my family again."

"Yeah, I'd give anything for that." Oliver stated.

There was a moment of silence, until Barry spoke up. "Oliver has something he wants to ask you."

Kara turned around to face them and asked. "What is it?"

"Well, when I was interrogating Lex on Earth, he said that he could create a weapon to could take away Von's powers. But he needed a pure source of kryptonite that hasn't been exposed to Earth's atmosphere for long to create it."

"And you want to bring a sample from Krypton back to Earth, and give it to Lex?" Oliver nodded. "No."

"Why not?" Oliver asked. "Von's the whole reason we were called from our universe."

"Von might be a little bit of a..."

"A dick?" Barry finished.

"I was looking for something more passive, but basically. But he's not a bad guy."

Oliver chuckled. "Really? Didn't he try to make you kill your family, and when that didn't work, he made you forget them."

Kara sighed. "I'm not justifying his actions, but he's had a difficult life growing up. And besides Clark, he may be my only living blood relative alive in the future."

"Oliver's not suggesting we kill him." Barry added.

"Well, not yet." Oliver replied.

"No!" Kara said firmly. "Even if I trusted that Lex Luthor wouldn't use the weapon on me or my cousin, I am not going to put my brother at his mercy."

"What are you three talking about?" Alura asked, walking in with Zor-El.

"Nothing mother." Kara replied. "Just a little disagreement." Oliver sighed in defeat.

"Mother." a voice came from inside the house. A blonde ten year old girl stepped from out of the hallway, and Kara immediately recognized the girl as her younger self.

"Who are these people?" the younger Kara asked.

"They're... our guests." Alura replied, unsure how to explain the situation.

"Kara, can you go play in your room, we'll tuck you in for bed later?" Zor-El asked. The younger Kara nodded and left for her room.

Even more tears were beginning to brim in Kara's eyes.

"You okay?" Barry asked.

"Yeah, it's just a lot to take in." Kara responded, wiping her eyes.

"I hate to ask this, but when is the ship suppose to be ready?" Oliver asked.

"It will probably be ready within an hour." Zor-El replied.

"Okay then." Oliver stated. "It was really great meeting you all, but we've got to go."

"I don't..." Kara began, but was interrupted when she heard the younger Kara's voice.

"Mother, father?" she began to speak. Alura and Zor-El turned around to see a green skinned man, wearing silver armor with a little purple, grabbing their daughter, and holding her close to him. Fear overtook their faces upon seeing this.

"Now do I have your attention?" the man asked.

"Let our daughter go!" Alura demanded.

"As you wish." the man then used his other hand to grab the younger Kara by the head, and was about to snap her neck. But before he could, Barry sped at him, and brought the younger Kara to Alura and Zor-El. The two parents the hugged their child like there was no tomorrow.

The man then stared at Barry and asked. "Why species are you?"

Barry chuckled. "Before I answer that, mind telling me who you are?"

"Very well. I am Brainiac." Surprise overtook Zor-El's face upon hearing this.

"I thought Zor-El created you to save Krypton." Oliver said.

"He did, and that is what I'm doing." he replied.

"By killing innocent children?" Barry asked.

"The child is only the first. Soon the entire kryptonian race shall be extinct."

"What?" Zor-El asked in disbelief. "Why? I created you to save us."

"Actually, my programming states that I am to save Krypton, and after careful examination across 68,901 species in the universe, I have concluded that the only way to save the world and quite possibly the universe is to exterminate the problem. In this case, the kryptonians."

In an instant, Barry sped towards Brainiac, and punched him in the chest. Surprisingly to Barry, his fist went right through Brainiac's body, and the AI went tumbling to the ground.

"That was easier than I expected." Barry stated.

"I doubt this is it." Zor-El added.

"How?" Oliver asked. "Brainiac's dead."

"I don't think so. I think that this body was just an extension of Brainiac."

Just then, an arm extended and cut Barry's side, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

"Correct old man." Brainiac said. "Unlike you, I exist in many forms now."

Oliver then shot an arrow at Brainiac, but he easily caught it.

"A bow and arrow?" he asked. "Not very effective."

Oliver smiled. "Figured you'd think so."

The arrow then exploded, causing Brainiac's body to fall apart.

"At least we know his bodies aren't hard to break." Kara stated.

"But it won't do much against Brainiac himself." Zor-El added.

"Then how do we stop Brainiac for good?" Oliver asked.

"My guess would be to destroy the computer his consciousness in uploaded to back at my lab."

"That shouldn't be too hard." Barry said, standing back up.

"Uh guys, you might want to look outside." Kara suggested, getting everyone's attention. When they looked out into the city, they saw hundreds of Brainiacs attacking kryptonians.

"So much for being too easy." Barry said.

"Brainiac's built an entire army of himself to destroy us." Zor-El said. "If you're going to get to my lab, you're going to have to go through a lot of them."

"I really miss having my powers right about now." Kara stated.

Waverider

Von was laying back against the Waverider, when the engineer exited the ship and said. "Engine's fixed. The ship should be good to go."

"Thanks." Von said beginning to walk into the ship.

"What no tip?" the engineer asked.

Boredom and disappointment appeared on Von's face after hearing that request.

"Go home." Von demanded, now actually getting into the ship.

Upon entering the captain's chair, Von was about to leave, until he saw an explosion coming from Kandor.

"Of course." Von said to himself. "Can't go one day without something exploding." Von sighed. "Sorry sis, but I told you what would happen if you weren't here." Von was about to leave Krypton, until he found himself hesitating. "Damn it!" he cried.

Lab

Barry sped through all of the Brainiacs, while grabbing Kara and Oliver, and the three arrived at Zor-El's lab.

"That wasn't easy." Barry said, out of breath.

"Come on." Oliver stated. "We have to shut down Brainiac."

"The main computer is this way." Kara said taking charge.

The three walked further into the lab, but were ambushed by many Brainiacs.

"Don't interfere." All of the Brainiacs said at once. "This is your only option at salvation."

"By killing everyone?" Kara asked.

"Before creation, there must be destruction." The Brainiacs replied.

They then started attacking the three. Barry used his speed to destroy a lot of the Brainiacs, Oliver mostly used his bow and arrow skills to take them out, and while Kara didn't have her powers, she knew some basic martial arts from Alex. The three were able to hold their owns, until more and more Brainiacs came and joined the battle.

"You cannot defeat me." The Brainiacs once again said in unison. "Every time you destroy one of my bodies, I will create ten new ones to replace them." Upon saying this, Kara, Barry and Oliver were surrounded and out of breath and stamina. "The three of you have fought valiantly." they continued speaking. "And so you have earned my mercy, I will end your lives before you watch your planet burn."

"Actually, me and Oliver aren't from Krypton." Barry stated.

"You didn't need to tell him that Barry." Oliver said.

Before any of them could react, one Brainiac each grabbed them, and held them in their arms.

"Your battle ends here." The Brainiacs said, preparing to execute them. But were interrupted when the three Brainiacs that were holding Kara, Barry and Oliver fell apart. The three looked behind them to see Von.

"Sorry Brainiac." Von began. "But I'm not going to let you do that."

"Von?" Kara asked in disbelief. "You came back?"

"What can I say, I'm a good brother."

"I don't know who you are, but you are a fool if you think you can defeat Brainiac." They all said in unison.

"Defeat you?" Von asked. "No, I'm going to kill you."

Von then sped and destroyed many of the Brainiacs in a few seconds. Once he stopped, he yelled. "Go! I can't hold them off for long."

The three nodded, and ran further into the lab, until they came across the main computer.

"What do we do know?" Barry asked.

"Can we just delete Brainiac, or do we..." Before Kara could finish he sentence, Oliver fired and explosive arrow at the computer, and destroyed it instantly. "I guess that works too."

All of the Brainiacs across Krypton then stopped, and fell all at once.

"Well, I'd say that's a wrap." Von said walking in.

"I can put 'saved an alien planet' on my resume now." Barry said jokingly.

"Well technically, I'm the one who destroyed Brainiac." Oliver stated.

"Don't try to measure who's the better hero." Kara said.

Later

The four returned to Kara's childhood home, and were talking with Zor-El and Alura.

"What about Krypton?" Zor-El asked.

Kara looked down, resisting the urge to cry. Von seeing this said. "It appears that Krypton is going to die in three years."

Concern appeared on Zor-El and Alura's faces after hearing this.

"There is one bright side to this." Barry added. "Kara is going to grow into a wonderful woman, a hero no less. She's saved so many lives, ours too. She'll accomplish things that will amaze not just the planet, but the entire universe."

Alura smiled at this. "I was knew that she was destined for greatness."

Kara upon hearing this, grabbed her mother and hugged her for dear life. "I love you." Kara said.

"Von, may I speak with you alone?" Zor-El asked. Von reluctantly nodded and followed Zor-El in another room. "I didn't know what to think of you at first, but after what you did, I can see that..."

"Don't." Von said interrupting Zor-El. "Don't praise me, you lost that right when you abandoned me." Confusion appeared on Zor-El's face. "In about a year, an eight year old boy is going to come to your home and ask for you help, but you are going to deny him that, even thought he is you son." Zor-El's confusion turned into surprise after hearing that. "It is one of the main reasons why I became a monster."

"Why are you telling me this?" Zor-El asked.

"Because I wanted you to know that I will never forgive, and that I didn't save Krypton for you. And you're not going to remember any of this." Von the grabbed Zor-El's shoulders, and his eyes turned blue. "When I am done talking, you are going to sleep, and when you wake up, you are going to forget that we were ever here."

"Forget you were hear." Zor-El repeated back, falling asleep almost immediately after.

Von then went back to everyone, and asked. "Are we ready?"

Everyone nodded, but Kara found it difficult.

"What about Alura and Zor-El?" Oliver asked. "If they remember all of this, won't it screw up the timeline?"

"I already erased Zor-El's memory, I'll erase Alura's now." Von replied. "Go to the Waverider, I'll catch up."

They nodded, and left.

Waverider

Oliver and Kara were sitting outside the Waverider, until Oliver opened his mouth to ask. "Are you sure we shouldn't bring the kryptonite back?"

Kara sighed. "Yes I'm sure."

"Look, I know that he's your brother, and you don't want to give up on him because of that..."

"It's not just because of that." Kara said interrupting. "I believe that he can be saved, heck he just saved us from Brainiac."

"He might have only done that because he realized that Krypton being destroyed might cause he to be erased or something.

"Or maybe he wanted to help Krypton."

Oliver shock his head. "I don't know."

"Well I do. My gut is telling me that I don't need to kill him or even take away his powers, and I need to trust it. So I'm asking you Oliver, please trust me." Oliver sighed, but nodded. "Thank you."

"Well, I've arrived, so we can finally leave." Von announced.

Oliver and Kara got up and entered the Waverider with Von, and the time ship flew into the air and dematerialized.

Kara's Apartment

Almost immediately after returning to Earth, Kara went to her apartment and fell on the couch.

"That's the first thing you're doing?" Kara frightened, jerked up and saw Barry standing right beside her.

"Oh Rao, Barry you really scared me." Kara said panting.

"I'm sorry." he apologized.

"Why are you even here?"

"Well, I wanted to see how you were doing after..."

Kara put her head in her hands and responded. "Honestly, I've been better."

After hearing this, Barry sat down next to her. "I know what it's like to lose your parents. But at least you got to see them again, and you know for a fact they're proud of you."

Kara then laid her head on Barry's shoulder. "Thank you Barry." she said.

"You're welcome."

Neither one of them knows who made the first move, but almost immediately after, their heads began leaning towards each other, and before they knew it, they kissed. The kissing then quickly evolved into making out, and the making out evolved into them going into Kara's room.

Lena's Apartment

Lena just entered her apartment, but was immediately frightened when she saw a man sitting on her couch.

"It's okay." the man spoke revealing himself to be Von. "I'm not here to do anything illegal."

"I think you already did when you broke into my apartment." Lena responded.

"Alright, anything more illegal."

Lena chuckled. "Why are you here?"

"I needed someone to talk to."

Confusion appeared on Lena's face. "Why? And why me?"

"I'm feeling emotion I haven't felt since Krypton, and I don't want anyone seeing me like this."

"Seeing you like what?" But Lena's question was answered when she saw tears flowing down Von's cheeks. "Oh, that."

Lena then sat next to Von and asked. "What happened?"

"It's complicated. But short version was I revisited some painful stuff, and it reminded me."

"Reminded you about what?"

"Reminded me how much my mother and father ruined me."

Lena chuckled. "Please, if anyone's mother ruined them, it would be me."

Von then looked directly at Lena and asked. "Did your mother beat you most nights , or try to drown you when you misbehaved?"

Horror appeared on Lena's face after hearing that. "No, she didn't."

Von then took a deep breath and said. "You know, I never really told anyone that. Well Kara sorta figured it out, but only because she went through my memoires."

Lena didn't understand what he meant, but understood that it wasn't something he liked to talk about, so she brought him closer to her, but before she knew it, he kissed her.

Lena didn't know what that was or how she felt, but after he separated, she said. "Um, that was..." But was interrupted when he did it again. This time however, she didn't think, only acted and continued in a much similar fashion to Kara and Barry.

DEO

Oliver went to a table and put the back he had on Krypton down on it, and took out the kryptonite shard he got from the planet.

"I'm sorry Kara." he said to himself. "But I need to trust my gut too."

Wow, that was... something. We have not one, but two hook ups (sort of hook ups) in this chapter. Do you think Kara's right and that Von can be helped? Say so in the reviews and I'll talk to you all in the next chapter.
