ME: hey Crossfire thanks for the read and I appreciate your constructive criticism! I hopefully have smoothed out these issues in the chapters after the 1st one; I was a 'green' author and this is my first time writing a work like this so I did struggle with the paragraph formatting and sentence structure. However my ideas and direction I'm taking this story are pretty much clear cut and that is why I have earned the reviews and subscribers that I do; I constantly work at it so there's always room for improvement!
Last time on Dragongirl Z, John's story with Hank Henshaw was revealed and it was actually Jeremiah who killed Henshaw by throwing him off a cliff! Alex also retold the story of Hank meeting and recruiting her to the DEO but it turns out that John found out about Cell from one of the people Trunks knew through Gohan when he went into the past; a girl named Lime! Siobhan also planned her ultimate revenge on Kara by composing an email to Cat Grant as the Kryptonian herself! Finally, John, Alex, Vegeta, and Bulla were all carted away to find out about Project Cadmus; are Bulma and Gohan right in saying that Cadmus have created a Kryptonian hybrid? What memories will Kara have of her early years; what will Trunks tell Kara about his past and what will happen with Siobhan? Find Out RIGHT NOW ON DRAGONGIRL Z!
Chapter 34 Aftermath; Ghosts of a Martian's Past(Pt. 2)
Trunks watched as the government escorted his father as well as his sister out of the door with Alex to find out about this mysterious Cadmus "will he be okay?" Kara asked her boyfriend "my dad once faced certain death by a meteor shower on a distant planet when he was training to become a Super-Saiyan" Trunks reassured her remembering how his alternate mother told the tale of his transformation when they were training to beat the androids(Dragon Ball Z episode 129 "Upgrade to Super-Saiyan"). "You're kidding me right?" Kara asked him shocked "he did that just to become a Super-Saiyan?" "Yep Dad's a guy who fights until the bitter end" Trunks stated to her remembering all too well the fight against Android 18 and later on how he madly charged Super-Perfect Cell due to Trunks' death at the Cell Games. "Lucy is the only one that can tell us what's going on" Kara commented before adding "Trunks I think we have to tell her about who we are". "As long as we keep our heritages private; the last thing we need is for Lucy Lane to investigate us" the hybrid advised his girlfriend. Kara nodded her head in silent agreement; while she would be keeping a lid on their heritages to Lucy(especially since she was the indirect reason that the sister of Lois Lane and James broke up) she wanted to tell Lucy about her past which would lead Trunks to tell about his past.
Still Kara was a bit steamed up and when she and Trunks got back to the office she went on an absolute rant to James saying "it was horrible; they just dragged Alex and Hank away and to make things worse Vegeta and Bulla gave themselves up to them". "Okay but who is they?" the reporter asked "who did this?" "Who do you think?" Trunks asked rhetorically with Kara sadly sighing "Lucy". "Wait hold on Lucy is back here in National City?" he asked Kara prompting Trunks to ask "wait you didn't know that Lucy had returned?" The reporter shook his head 'no' as Kara offered an explanation saying yes adding that she was with a Colonial Harper fuming that they were "leading the witch hunt" and that "they want to knew about Hank; I've never seen her like this". "This witch hunt also explains why my dad and sister surrendered themselves to Lucy and that general although I'm not sure how mom will react to this" the demi-Saiyan commented explaining why Vegeta and his sister went with them.
"Okay but where did they take Alex, Hank, Vegeta and Bulla?" James asked the both of them "some place called Project Cadmus" Kara told him answering on Trunks' behalf and seeing the worried look on James' face added "which I'm guessing isn't an all inclusive resort". "No its the reason Clark won't work for the government" the reporter told Kara "if the DEO is a prison then Cadmus is a dissection lab. Its a genetic engineering facility that treats aliens like lab rats; amputated skinned drained, injected with experimental drugs". "That's sick" Trunks growled sickened by James' graphic description of what Cadmus did as Kara(who was also disgusted and angered by the description) asked "why would they do that". "Weaponizing Alien abilities for military purposes" James bluntly stated "what do they do to humans?" Kara inquired now worried about Alex; James gave Kara a dark look implying that they will kill any human being as Trunks stated "I stand corrected; Cadmus is even worse than Gero". "Does Clark know where it is?" Kara asked James in a hopeful tone "no" he replied in a disappointed tone "no one does"(dialog with additions from Supergirl episode 16 "Manhunter"). 'I have an idea of who might know but its too risky' Trunks thought to himself thinking that they could use the Dragon Balls(and Shenron) to wish for the location of Cadmus' labs.
In the past, Bulma suggested that idea to ask Shenron about the location of Gero's lab to the others after he left for the future and Piccolo told everyone about the ominous future; Goku even asked the hybrid if he knew where Gero's lab was located with him saying that if he did knew he would paying Gero a visit instead of the Earth's mightiest hero. However Goku and her future husband refused to do so; both agreed that they wanted to take a shot at this new challenge. Goku wanted it because of the challenge(also while saying that Gero hadn't done anything wrong at the time Trunks showed up) and Vegeta wanted to show his superiority over the 3rd class warrior(Dragon Ball Z episode 122 "Mystery Revealed"). Kara then stated "I know what I have to do"; James looked at her and Trunks with a questioning confused look but it would become clear when Lucy arrived. She however was not in the best of moods when she arrived saying "I don't have time for this" to James; "so you're back in the army?" he questioned her skirting around the topic. "Your back in Kara's loft" Lucy pointed out to James "I guess nothing's really changed for either or us"; "on the contrary Lucy a lot has changed since you were last in town" Trunks voiced speaking for the first time.
Kara and James looked awkwardly at Trunks then at each other as Lucy grumbled "just tell me what was so important that I had to come here; what is this all about?" Kara slowly got up and stated "there's something you need to know";"about the both of us" Trunks added. Kara then unbuttoned her shirt to reveal the S and taking off her glasses with her boyfriend following her up by handing her his Capsule Corps jacket and temporarily going Super. Lucy gasped and muttered "it all makes sense now I just didn't want to put it together I didn't want it to be true"; Trunks then depowered and resumed his mystic form and stated "it is true Lucy Kara is Supergirl and I was the Gold Fighter although I've an upgrade". "An upgrade?" Lucy echoed confused; "yes" Trunks answered "I can now utilize all the power in my body in my base form". "Does this mean you won't be able to be the Gold Fighter anymore?" James asked the hybrid "I can still transform but it would be a complete waste of energy" Trunks explained to the reporter remembering Old Kai's explanation as well as his own experience fighting Perfect Cell; power wise he was stronger than the android but it was useless because he couldn't catch his foe.
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way" Kara apologized to Lucy after Trunks had finished with his explanation "but you are the only person that can stop Hank and Alex from being sent to Project Cadmus". The Kryptonian didn't tell Lucy that Vegeta and Bulla had gave themselves up to find out what was going on at Cadmus but she didn't want to further arose Lucy's suspicions; in any case Lucy asked Kara "why would I help you?; you, Trunks and Hank? Why do you all lie?" "When you're an alien and you've lost your world and you're dropped into a new one you don't have a choice" Kara solemnly told Lucy as she recounted the painful memories of the past.
FLASHBACK 12 Years ago It was Kara's first day of school; she was unaccustomed to all these strange people and strange surroundings. Alex though looked completely at ease but all the odd stars were beginning to get at her as Kara heard the comments of the humans at her school and saw straight through their bodies with her developing powers. "Who's the new girl" Kara heard someone ask "foster kid; Alex Danvers parents took her in" another girl explained to the first girl. "I'd hate if they did that to me" the first girl commented again with a sneer with the other agreeing saying "totally who wants a stranger living in their room?" "Hey Rick" a younger Alex greeted a boy which may have been perceived as a crush as he suggested "bunch of us are heading to Swan Beach after school you wanna come?" "Supposed to hang out with her" the younger Alex responded suggesting that her animosity towards the Kryptonian was starting to develop already.
Rick however didn't notice the contempt in Alex's tone and suggested "then bring her". When they got to the beach the others were laughing and playing around but Kara was literally staring into space; Rick noticed this and stated to Alex "your new sister is kinda weird" Alex ran over to the Kryptonian and begged "stop I don't want everyone staring at you"; "I'm sorry we didn't have birds on my planet" the Kryptonian apologized which led Alex to say "don't say that stuff out loud!" Suddenly Kara heard a distant scream and a car crash in the distance and she immediately ran off to help causing Alex to exclaim "what is wrong with you?!" "KARA!" The future hero of National City paid no mind as she boldly ran into the line of fire(literally) and when she got to the burning car she tore the door off with ease. After pulling her out of the car the Kryptonian then noticed a crying baby and she then freed the baby handing it back to the mother;"thank you" the mom thanked Kara who smiled in response(and unknowingly began to stir a desire in Kara's spirit to have a child of her own when she got older). However whatever thoughts of that the Kryptonian had were broken by Alex shouting "Kara what are you doing?"; however seeing the car about to blow Kara cried out "ALEX!"
"Was Alex okay?" Trunks asked his girlfriend in a concerned tone after Kara related the story to them then questioned her saying "what did Jeremiah say about her condition?" Kara sighed as she remembered the next part Flashback Cont. "Alex had to get some stiches but she's going to be okay" Jeremiah related to a younger Kara(*Trunks sighed in relief when Kara related that part*); her father then sighed and advised the Kryptonian "listen...doing what you can do makes you special but its not safe. Those kids, their parents they're all wondering how a little girl pulled off that rescue today". A younger Kara hung her head in shame as Jeremiah continued "we told them you got lucky but that excuse will work once" causing Kara to say "I'm sorry"; "I know you were only trying to help but the world already has a Superman" Kara's adoptive father told her "all you need to be is Kara Danvers". After she took those words of advice Jeremiah then pulled something out of his pocket and presented it to his adoptive daughter saying "I made these for you"(*pulls out the glasses Kara wears*). "The frames are lined with Lead; they'll suppress your vision help you fit in" he told her explaining how the glasses worked "they'll make your life..easier". End Flashback
"So that's how you got those glasses I had no idea that your father gave it to you" Trunks commented after Kara finished the first part of the story however there was another figure that was watching the interaction; "that human's glasses" the voice(which belonged to Trunks' daughter Alice) "its similar to the ones I wear!" Alice's glasses was given to her by her godmother Pan when her Kryptonian vision started to kick in; Alice told her that she could see straight through objects and John reported that Alice's eyes blared red in one of their most recent spars. The glasses were replicated from the pair Kara wore so that Alice wouldn't get too suspicious but at the same time she did tell the girl that it would help suppress Alice's Kryptonian vision in unseeingly random times. During the times that Alice wasn't sparring she wore those glasses which was rare but the girl followed that rule even though she didn't understand why. Nevertheless the development of her heat and x-ray vision opened the door for Alice to expand on her arsenal of attacks but Pan told the girl to reserve that for extreme cases and just to use the powers that she already had(i.e. her Saiyan powers). Seeing that Alice was about to realize something Pan nervously said "ah that's enough Alice I think you should get back to training!" "Okay" Alice agreed seeing that this conversation was getting no where she did as Pan stated and went back to training. 'Phew dodged a major bullet there' Pan thought to herself as she continued to watch the conversation in which Kara shifted from the story of the glasses to the first day on the job at Catco.
FLASHBACK "Pardon me; sorry excuse me" Kara clumsily apologized to the people at Catco as she exited the elevator to meet with Ms. Grant for the first time; suddenly a male's voice(Winn) bumped into her crying out in pain. Seeing this Kara once again awkwardly apologized to the man saying "oh; I'm sorry". "Ow" Winn grimaced in pain as the Kryptonian continued her awkward apology but then he got a good look at the alien and was smitten. "Um Hey hey that's okay hi" Winn called to Kara gaining her attention as he stuttered an introduction "my name is Winn Schott Junior and who are you?". "Kara Danvers" the past version of Kara introduced herself eagerly shaking his hand but the Kryptonian overestimated her strength causing Winn's bones to give a slight 'crack'. "Oh wow that's uh that's quite a firm handshake you got going on there" Winn stated to Kara upon noticing Kara's strength; "oh yea well I work out" she awkwardly explained to him. "Yeah" he stated but then thinking she said too much the future hero quickly corrected herself to Winn "well uh I read in an article that when you're going to a big interview you should start with a firm handshake". "Um interview what job?" he asked her back "assistant to Cat Grant" she explained to him; Winn was surprised saying "oh well does her current assistant know that she's uh"(sees woman crying) "she knows".
Kara's face grew white as a sheet as Cat called "okay next"; "oh is that you?" asked Winn "where's my 10:15?" the voice of Cat asked in a demanding tone and seeing that she would face the music Kara commented "I guess that's me any advice?" "Nah just be yourself" Winn counseled with a smile but Kara muttered "right..myself...okay". Kara went through the door and greeting her interview "Ms. Grant; hi"; "oh for God's sake I told them not to send me any more millianials" Cat exasperatingly groaned causing a baffled Kara to ask "I'm sorry?" "You are the ultimate example of what is wrong with parenting today all that god-awful self esteem building" Cat berated judging Kara based on her looks before the mogul lectured "everyone is special, everyone gets a trophy and you all have opinions that you deserve to be heard. And yet the truth is you need to earn the right to have an opinion in the first place".
Then turning around to face Kara the mogul asked "so my 10:15 tell me why you're special"; "I'm not..special" Kara told her "I'm not special. There is nothing special about me I am totally completely 100% normal"; "yes you are" Cat seemed to note which led Kara to accentuate her point by saying "absolutely. And I'm nothing if not average; average strength, average hearing, less than average vision"(chuckles as she points to her glasses). She then said to Cat "no there is nothing out of the ordinary about me"; "okay I get it" Cat commented now bored. "Except that I am extremely committed" Kara interrupted "I care; I'm a hard worker I just wanna help"; "hmm that's refreshing" Cat replied still bored. Seeing that she would have to change tactics Kara quickly adjusted her glasses so that she could see how she can help; "I could uh"(*sees prescription*) I could make pharmacy runs for you pick up your prescriptions".
"Its funny you should say that" Cat responded surprised that Kara deciphered her needs so quickly; then using her vision again Kara then added "I think your pen is out of ink". "No" the mogul stated taking the pen she had and attempting to write with no avail to which the Kryptonian handed her a new one and re-interated her position by saying "I just wanna be useful to somebody; I wanna be worthwhile". "And you're not worthwhile?" Cat questioned(as this was something very different than what she was used to hearing). "I haven't done anything to prove it" Kara said although she was distracted by the TV in the mogul's room. Cat traced Kara's eyes to the TV as she finished by saying "yet"; seeing how Kara was distracted the mogul warned "I think you should know that I expect complete and utter devotion to this job. Are you willing to sacrifice everything in your life to be my assistant?" Kara looked at the forest fire and despite her wanting to be a hero the Kryptonian knew that her time had not yet come(in the words of Jonathan Kent) and after stuttering with an "um" answered with an unequivocal "yes; yes of course" to Cat's question END FLASHBACK.
"When you are an alien you are willing to sacrifice anything, everything; betray your fundamental instincts just to fit in" Kara commented to Lucy coming back to present time; "to belong somewhere to find your place in this world". "If you have a problem fitting in it's because you and Trunks lie to people who you really are" Lucy scoffed to the Kryptonian which led Trunks to growl "that's not true" in response. James decided to supplement Trunks' statement with a question "Lucy are you really willing to let Hank become a science experiment and who knows what they have planned for Alex?" Trunks also decided to add another statement and question of his own; "you think this life is all about you" -speaking to Lucy in similar way he did to Android 17 after he had returned to free the future- "what about the others?"(*he asked her critically*) What about Alex and Hank?" "I know you're feeling betrayed and alone" Kara added using a less harsh tone than that of Trunks but then added "but if you go along with Jim Harper just to feel like you fit in, to feel like you belong somewhere, ultimately the only person you're betraying is yourself. It wasn't easy for Trunks and me to show you who we really are, but we did it because we trust who you are; who you really are under that uniform and we trust that you'll do the right thing."(Dialog with additions from Supergirl episode 16 "Manhunter and dialog with adaptation from Dragon Ball Z episode 194 "Free the Future").
As they traveled(via motorcycles) to free Alex and Hank a now ready to assist them Lucy Lane asked Trunks "Kara told me about her past; tell me about yours". Trunks grimaced and darkly monologued "my past was like living in a nightmare... always running and hiding, looking for a way out"(Dragon Ball Z episode 122 "Mystery Revealed"). "My father told me about the Androids..was it due to them?" Lucy inquired the hybrid ; "yes; the world I grew up in was devastated by Dr. Gero's androids they took control of the planet and terrorized the population" he revealed stunning James and Lucy greatly. Even Kara was taken a bit aback as Trunks continued in his dark memories "the androids continued their path of terror; they finally found the excitement they were looking for...when they slaughtered my father. Thrilled by the new challenge the androids tracked down all the Z fighters and Piccolo was quickly overwhelmed..Krillen suffered a similar faith; one by one they destroyed the greatest fighters on the planet until there was no one left to challenge them; no one except Gohan and me we were the last fighters to survive".
Kara was floored by this revelation "so that's why the androids are such a sensitive topic for Trunks to talk about" she muttered to herself remembering her conversation with Trunks in the aftermath of the fight with Red Tornado and their first date months ago. Trunks didn't want to reveal about the time machine so he abruptly finished his tale "Gohan fought a long hard battle with the androids but he was too overwhelmed by their power; I survived and vowed to find a way to break the grip the androids had on the planet(Dragon Ball Z episode 164 "Ghosts from Tomorrow"); my mom and I resorted to...extreme measures to ensure that we lived at peace for as long as we did. Now the time of peace is over Lucy; Non and Indigo threatens the world and this Cadmus is no better than they are. What the androids did to the world I lived on was far too real and I promise that will not be repeated here!" (dialog adapted from Dragon Ball Z Kai episode 82 "The Strongest Super Saiyan! Trunks' Power Unleashed!")
Kara and Lucy both wondered what Trunks meant when he said that Bulma and him had resorted to "extreme measures" to ensure the world was at peace once more but decided to focus on recusing Hank and Alex from the clutches of Colonial Harper. Meanwhile in the van Harper said to John "when we get to Cadmus I'm going to find out how you overcome peoples' minds how you steal their bodies what makes you tick"; "you're going to dissect me" John figured out. "You low-lives disgust me" Bulla blanched "this Cadmus is no better than Gero or Max Lord"; "Cadmus is not some area 51 house of horrors Martian; girl" he admonished both of them "its a necessary place a place where we can unlock secrets to save American lives; human lives". "You're even more moronic than that world class coward" Vegeta gruffed disdainfully(*comparing him to Hercule*) as Alex commented "so you're going to dissect him". "I'm protecting the world" Jim dementedly said which caused Bulla to snort "more like protecting yourself and your superiors" and Alex to add "you're pathetic". Jim just swerved his head from side to side and declared "and you're a traitor so get comfortable Agent Danvers because you belong to Cadmus now". "We'll just see about that" Vegeta growled in a low tone as the ladies and Trunks approached them on motorcycle "tell me why we're not flying again?" he asked them "because" Lucy said "Harper will recognize you and Kara immediately; this is more of a low key operation." Trunks nodded his head in understanding from underneath the visor as they approached the truck; "sir behind us!" one soldier alerted Colonial Harper which was added by another one shouting "sir we got three bogies!"
"Take em out" Harper ordered his men to which they started to open fire on them; however they were well protected and seeing this the soldier exclaimed "they're wearing body armor!" The truck continued to swerve when Lucy opened fire on the tire which caused Harper to lose the device in his hand. Alex then crushed the device with her feet and seeing that the saiyans took the opportunity to break loose from their confines with Hank quickly breaking free from his. "Time's up" Vegeta declared to the Colonial powering up and relished the look of terror on Harper's face as he faced down a pissed off Saiyan and an equally angry Martian. Kara got off the motorbike and used her super-speed to break the gun in half then followed it up with a punch knocking him out. Similarly Trunks bent the gun with a loud 'Pop' then used his pressure point training to put the other soldier- who was about to shoot Kara- into unconsciousness with the Kryponian taking out the remaining soldier. They both then took off their helmets with Lucy but they had no idea what was going on inside the truck. "Where's your confidence now?" Vegeta asked as he and Hank held the now whimpering Colonial Harper against the wall as Hank quickly handed his weapon to Alex. "Do it do it Martian" he goaded the alien "be a monster prove me right!"; "Hank?" both Alex and Bulla called but Hank reassured them saying "its all right. I've gotten better at this".
He then readdressed his former friend "I'm not going to kill you Colonial; I'm just going to make you forget what happened here tonight" John stated with his eyes glowing red as he executed his mind wiping technique. "Whoa" Bulla muttered amazed "so that's how John makes people forget...freaky"; Vegeta sighed thinking it was over as Harper dropped off into a deep sleep but was wrong as John suddenly screamed aloud and gasped his body thrown violently against the back of the truck. "J'ohn?" Alex called to him "J'ohn are you okay?" "What the hell was that all about Martian?" Vegeta asked demanding an explanation "I uh I saw into Harper's mind" he told them. "So what?" Dende could read minds too" Bulla pointed out confused but was silenced by her father's glare "I saw him" John gasped.
"Him?" Vegeta echoed as Alex asked "who?" "Jeremiah; I saw him at Project Cadmus" the Martian whispered then unloaded a bombshell of a revelation "Alex he's alive; your dad's alive!" Vegeta and Bulla were both floored "WHAT?!" the prince exclaimed astonished as Bulla stated "that's impossible ...he can't be! The only way you can revive the dead is with Shenron but even he can't revive someone that has been dead for over a year and there's no way that Cadmus knows about Porunga!" The others were shocked by Bulla's statement 'how can these beings revive the dead?' the ever so skeptical Alex thought to herself 'that's simply not possible!' 'There must be a reason to explain this..madness' were Vegeta's thought 'if Jeremiah's alive than who was it that appeared to my son on Planet Vegeta in the past?'(Dialog with additions from Supergirl episode 16 "Manhunter" and Dragon Ball Z Kai episode 62 "Piccolo's Assault! Android 20 and the Twisted Future!")
Well Vegeta didn't know but it was actually the Future Warrior(*from Xenoverse*) who impersonated Jeremiah thanks to he being part of the Time Patrol Squad with the Supreme Kai of Time, Bardock and a future/alternate versions(had Baby not appeared) of Trunks and Kara themselves! In fact both Kara and Trunks had trained the Future Warrior to take on the various missions in the multiverse and the situation with the Tuffle Virus was one of those situations; Supreme Kai of Time told the Future Warrior to impersonate Jeremiah during Trunks' little visit to Planet Vegeta to fix the distortion. She already had worries of her own with Demigra on the loose(thanks to him being freed from the crack of time) and they have had a very hard time keeping track of his movements. The last time they fought that demon was when he had told them about transforming a woman into a banshee and told that banshee that she would pass on the curse to anyone who pissed her off. No one realized that this banshee would play a very vital role in the way a certain quarter-saiyan and her boyfriend regarded/thought of a certain ex-member of Cat's staff; in the meantime Kara was similarly stunned when Alex told her that Jeremiah was still alive.
"For him to still be around after all this time" she fumed to her sister as Trunks thought to himself 'how is this possible? I saw Jeremiah with a halo during the incident with that tuffle virus' "I'm going to get him back" Alex commented breaking Trunks' thoughts; "we're going to get him back" John added "you can't do this; I won't let you!" the voice of Bulla shouted in protest to both of them as Kara agreed and said "I'm coming with you". "I'm a fugitive now; I'm on the run" Alex softly told the both of them refusing their offers to help them; "well let me take you to the Fortress of Solitude or the Hyperbolic Time Chamber(*Bulla suggested this*) where you'll be safe let me find Jeremiah!" the Kryptonian pleaded to her sister. "Kara Bulla I have to do this" Alex restated before encouraging them "hey have faith in me like I have in you(*to Kara*) and you have in your father(*to Bulla*)". "What am I going to do without you?" Kara asked her voice beginning to crack "you don't need me; you never have" Alex stated "besides you have Trunks". Kara felt an emotional break-down coming as she vocally cracked "no but you still took care of me anyway"; "same here" Bulla sniffled her voice also ready to break.
"Yeah look how great the both of you turned out" Alex pointed out to them with a smile and in rare moment of emotion Vegeta stated "take good care of your mother". Kara wondered what her father meant by that but then Vegeta's next statement truly surprised the Kryptonian; "you are my only daughter and yet I have rarely held you since you were a baby have I?" Vegeta then gently commanded "come here daughter" and he gently scooped her in his arms hugging her tight. "Bulla there's something you must know" Vegeta said chocking back on his emotions "you've made me proud..my daughter." Alex was touched by the emotional moment between Vegeta and Bulma and emotionally said "I love you" to Kara to which she returned saying the same thing as they both hugged(and for Kara and Bulla they cried). After the moment was over Hank reassured the Kryptonian saying "don't worry she'll be okay"; "I know" Kara retorted "she has you and Vegeta backing her up". "We both have you and Trunks" Alex stated; "let's get a move on already" Vegeta gruffly huffed now feeling like his old self once more. They both revved up their motorcycles with Vegeta closely following them on the ground using his speed ."Bye dad" Trunks muttered to the wind after watching him leave; "come back alive" Bulla whispered as a wish and (being emotionally spend) drifted to sleep.
Later on at Catco, Siobhan thought she had finally triumphed in her mission to destroy Kara's reputation and she thought she had when Cat spotted her. "Siobhan come in" the media mogul called out to her; "make yourself comfortable I'd offer you a cappuccino but as you can see we're a bit short staffed at the moment." Siobhan thought she sensed an opening to return as she asked(with a fake smile) "what happened to Kara and Pan?" "Funny you should ask" Cat mused back "I very rarely have to say this Siobhan but I think I made a terrible mistake." Siobhan's smirk widened 'at last my revenge on Kara and Pan is complete' she thought to herself as she said "oh?" "Uh-huh" Cat responded "Keerah and Pan have been tremendous assistants as I'm sure you observed during your brief time here. Who could've ever thought that underneath that prim little sweater-set was a simmering caldron of rage just waiting to boil over?" "I don't understand" Siobhan commented pretending to be confused "she sent me an email telling me what she thinks in terms that are..well highly unsuited to repeat in a professional setting" the media mogul told her "called me names that I haven't heard since my last mediation with my ex-husband." "That is so surprising" Siobhan said in a pretensions voice "yes I thought so too which is why I found someone who did an obsessive study of Keerah for the past two years" Cat revealed as Winn appeared with Pan right next to him.
"Winn?" she asked confused "I analyzed the typing speed and patterns on the hard drive" he confessed to Siobhan "it didn't match Kara's but it did match yours"; "checkmate Siobhan" Pan sniped "you lose". The ex-secretary was shocked by this as Cat commented "I don't have many regrets Siobhan but I do regret firing you the first time; I wish to God I could fire you again with feeling." "Ms. Grant I can explain" Siobhan started to tell Cat but was interrupted by the mogul saying "no save it for the police because that is who you'll be talking to if you ever do something like that again. Now get out of my office and never come back"(dialog with adaptions from Supergirl episode 16 "Manhunter" and dialog with changes from Dragon Ball Z episode 237 "Final Atonement"). Winn and Pan watched Siobhan leave in silence as the IT professional remembered how he was told of what Siobhan's scheme was.
Flashback It was a few minutes after Siobhan composed that email(with Pan watching her closely) that the quarter saiyan hybrid got to Winn's apartment and starting banging on the door. "OPEN UP WINN!" Pan shouted "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!" Winn then emerged but of course it was a bit embarrassing because Winn had no shirt on making Pan drool. 'Oh my Dende' the quarter saiyan thought to herself immersing herself in a daydream about Winn's naked body but he snapped the female saiyan out of it by asking her"Pan why are you pounding on my door?" "Oh right" she muttered snapping back to attention "um its about Siobhan"; "Siobhan?" Winn echoed confused "yes..I kinda overheard your conversation with Siobhan and well just now I saw her compose an email to Cat in Kara's name". He then stated "I think Siobhan took my advice a little too far"; "what are you going to do?" the Quarter-Saiyan inquired "well I have done an obsessive study in Kara for the last two years; if Siobhan did compose that email to Cat Grant than I can find out by analyzing the typing speed and patterns on the hard drive". "When it comes to detecting lies I'm one of the best in the business thanks to my dad so I'll help too" Pan stated offering her assistance to Winn which he generously accepted. Together they found out that it was Siobhan that composed the email to Cat Grant; it did take some convincing on Cat's end to believe their story but after she conducted an investigation the media mogul believed them and decided to lay in wait until Siobhan returned to the office to spill the beans. END Flashback
Back at the DEO, Kara expressed her worries to Lucy about freeing John Jones and Alex asking "do you think they know it was us?" "We'll see" Lucy commented which Trunks agreed with "yes; we shall surely see". The couple then looked at each other with a secret smile; they had made a joint decision on who would head the DEO in John(and Alex's) absence on the way back via mental communication. "Attent-hut!" the soldiers called when they saw Lucy Lane; "at ease" she said to them "ma'am' we had a" Vasquez began but Lucy already knew stating/questioning "security breach I know; what are we doing to re-apprehend the detainees?" "Ma'am?" Vasquez asked Lucy confused to which she clarified her question "what are Colonial Harper's orders?" "Ma'am Colonial Harper just resigned and named a new acting director of the DEO" Vasquez told Lucy "who?" she asked back; "you" Vasquez revealed. "Are you sure?" Lucy asked as she had a hard time believing Harper would do that when she looked at Kara and Trunks(who smiled) "yes he was quite adamant about your appointment" Vasquez affirmatively stated. "I guess J'ohn's gotten good at that whole mind controlling thing" Kara bemused to Lucy with a smile "you're going to help me do this right?" Lucy asked the Kryptonian in an unsure tone; "yea of course" Kara assured her; "you're going to be great; this is where you belong." "You deserve this Lucy and rest assured that me and my family also help you undertake this great task of being the head of the DEO" Trunks also promised her with a smile "you have my word on that". "Ma'am there's a bank robbery at 10th and Shukert" Vasquez interrupted "no alien involvement but I just thought you might wanna know"; "and you and Trunks belong out there" Lucy said to the aliens "after what Trunks and I did the people don't trust either of us anymore" Kara ashamedly confessed to Lucy. "You and Trunks got me to trust you two that's a start" Lucy commented back "you're right" Trunks commented as Kara took a deep breath. The both of them then decided to take courage in Lucy's words as they left to deal with the bank robbers and as they passed over Siobhan(it had become night time); she drunkenly declared "and I hate you too!"
"Siobhan no no no STOP!" Winn exclaimed when he saw her take one too many drinks "don't bother with her Winn" Pan snorted(she had seen her ascend to the roof and saw as Trunks and Kara passed overhead) "she isn't worth it". "Seriously?" she asked the two of them "I have too much self esteem to kill myself. Killing someone else on the other hand". "Oh I'm sorry what did you expect me to do?" Winn sarcastically asked as Siobhan steamed "I don't know?! Not rat me out to freaking Cat Grant". "Siobhan you brought this on yourself" Pan spat and Winn only piled on to her statement by saying "you lied Siobhan okay? And you committed mail fraud or an email fraud which is potentially like a federal crime!". "You were supposed to be on my side" Siobhan huffed "I was; I am!" Winn insisted "except you know Kara is like my best friend and Pan's my girlfriend!" Siobhan was floored and asked the hybrid "is this true?".
"It is" Pan affirmed with a smirk; "you know what?"(Winn asked her) "no I did this for you too because if this would've worked you would've regretted it and I know that deep down you are a good person." "You don't know me" she spat back to Winn "you don't know anything! You said that I could have whatever I wanted!" "You misinterpreted what Winn said" Pan scoffed "you can get whatever you want but only if you are nice I don't know learn to take responsibility for your actions!" "I HAVE NOTHING!" Siobhan raged "NO JOB, NO FRIENDS I JUST WANNA SCREAM!" Suddenly Siobhan lost her footing Winn shouted "NO NO!" 'Damn it what do I do?' Pan asked herself clearly conflicted over if she wanted Siobhan to know that she had powers but then Siobhan let out an ear piercing scream and stopped her own fall the sound waves clearly reverberating from off the ground! After Siobhan landed on the ground she looked back up at Winn who had a terrified look on his face and even Pan was taken aback by her mouth gaping like a fish. It was then that Pan knew that there was nothing ordinary about Siobhan as the female hybrid asked herself 'what the hell is she?' (dialog with additions from Supergirl episode 16 "Manhunter")
Siobhan wouldn't be the only shock to Pan and Winn's system; you see when Kara and Trunks were battling it out in space the shock waves from their punches were thought to have the power to destroy universes(according to King Kai). However he was wrong; instead of the shock waves destroying the universe(okay it did destroy most of the surrounding vicinity) they opened vortexes due to the ripple effect. These vortexes(or portals if we're being technical) would lead to characters from the future and other universes to appear in National City to Kara and Trunks. Among them will be a certain Speedster, the aunt that Trunks had no clue existed, a cocky fused warrior, a member of the Galactic Patrol Squad and Trunks own daughter! In addition to them a certain brother of Vegeta with his wife would also be coming from space(the force of the battle threw their ships towards Earth even though he was going to beg Vegeta in any case); blue, silver and black hedgehogs with a thing for speed, and a kid an I on his chest with a family who also had similarly shaped I's on their chests. They and their enemies were all now(or coming to) National City; the Speedster would shock Kara and Trunks with the existence of multiple universes which would open the door for a certain God of Destruction to appear. In addition the daughter of Trunks would struggle to keep Trunks in the dark regarding the Baby/Omega threats because(from her POV) history had changed so much that it had already made her head spin. She would also struggle with why Trunks was so overprotective of Kara(due to her not knowing that the Kryptonian was her mom); the spotlight would be shone on Alice because of her outfit stirring suspicions with both warriors with where Alice came from.
Siobhan would also be shocked of where her powers came from which had a connection to a certain Demon who was freed from the crack of time when Trunks' universe switched. In addition, Alex and Hank were on the run and Supergirl and Trunks had to get the city to trust in them once again; of course they would also still have to resolve the tension that still existed between them because of the fight between Kara(on Red Kryptonite) and Trunks(in both his Mystic and God forms). This however would pale in comparison to the greatest test that Trunks and Kara would yet face in their blossoming relationship which would drag National City and cause all of the Guardians of Earth to unite...END CHAPTER

ME: Another chapter in the can! Sorry for the lack of action scenes but the show didn't gave us fans many to work with as it was a mostly flash-back centric episode! Even though it focused a lot on John becoming Hank Henshaw I still kept the DBZ plot in there by having Lime tell the alien about Cell and Capsule Corps which explains why he was so unnerved by Trunks in the first chapter. I hope that you liked the shout-out I gave to the filler of Z before the Cell Games as episodes like that(as well as Memories of Gohan and the whole Otherworld Tournament Arc) were stepping stones to the things we saw both in the Buu saga and (now) in Dragon Ball Super. For those who want a backstory of Trunks' version of Lime, its mostly the same except the experiences she and her family had with Cell scarred her(which is why she readily gave all that info to John).
In case I wasn't clear the portals are how the other characters(besides the Flash) are going to appear in the next 2 chapters; as you can see I have taken a twist to the whole destruction of the universe comment by the Old Kai in Dragon Ball Super so instead of destroying the universe the shockwaves from the punches from the Superpower aliens opened up portals in National City. I gave major hints on who's going to appear in the crazy crossover with the Flash so please don't spoil it for those who are going to read(the parody I gave in the outro is in reference to at least 3 or 4 of them!). The explanation by the Flash will open the floodgates for Champa/Vados and the whole shenanigans that will happen in addition to the whole Dawn Of Justice/Universe 6 Arc!
Speaking of Dragon Ball Super,I ALSO HAVE VERY EXCITING NEWS! ACCORDING TO A RECENT AKIRA TORAYAMI/TORYITORO(the manga writer for Super) WE MAY(EMPHASIS ON THE WORD MAY) SEE FUTURE TRUNKS, MIRA AND TOWA APPEAR IN DBS! This is potentially an exciting development for all those fans who want Future Trunks to appear again in the series and it will be a perfect opportunity to "canonize" Xenoverse if Mira/Towa appear! We also might get a new transformation on top of that(but again nothing is official yet this is all speculation).I'm glad that my little fan-fiction is close to the beginning of the appearance of Champa/Vados and hopefully by then we'll get "official" word on the Trunks/Mira/Towa speculation that is rampant among the fan base right now!
On the other hand if this happens it would conflict with my story; if Trunks returns in Super(if he returns) the other characters would have to tell him about the events of BOG/F/the tournament all in the past tense(which will conflict with the battles I want to portray in my story). Then again it would cause even more confusion for the characters of Supergirl and Alice when Vegeta/Goku shows Trunks the power of the Super Saiyan Blue with the new enemies Super will have! In any case when they face the new enemies(whoever they are) they have to get in conflict with the whole Dawn of Justice film! I think it would be the perfect opportunity(if the whole Super-Saiyan White speculation happens if you want to believe Akira Toryiama) for Goku and Vegeta to obtain that level of power considering they have to face down freaking Doomsday!
Speaking of Doomsday oh boy the ending of Dawn of Justice..was really something else and strongly reminded me of the comics story in which Doomsday first appeared! That's all I'm going to say in terms of " movie spoilers" but when I come to that in my story it'll be a very emotional(and turning point moment) in Kara's life and even more-so in her relationship with Trunks. Because of how the DOJ film ends Trunks will make a VERY IMPORTANT DECISION! NO HE WILL NOT BREAK UP WITH KARA but based on what happens at the end of the film for Trunks will be like Gohan experiencing the death of his wife Videl and an infant Pan in the Resurrection F arc in Super that inspired him to train with Piccolo before the Champa Tournament! That's all I got to say on the matter but Trunks will be getting a whole lot stronger to protect the lives of Kara; the same will apply with Alice Trunks will also train to get stronger and when Alice is added into the craziness of Season 2(Cadmus' creation anyone) you can bet that she will train with Wonder Girl(as well train a certain female Martian herself)!
I think I can transition into the new villains of Super after the Tournament Arc which would(technically) be the Dawn of Justice Arc! This will take place during the time Supergirl is on hiatus and if/when Season 2 comes around then I'll take things from then but if Mira/Towa does appear then it would also transition into another potential crossover of Supergirl with Legends of Tomorrow(from the CW) as well as the Time Patrol Squad from Xenoverse! By the way Cat Grant totally broke the 4th wall when she commented that the characters of Supergirl resembled a CW show which was hilarious so of course I'll write that zinger from Cat when I write the crossover with Flash in the next chapter! I think if there is a Season 2 that has a lot of great potential with the female White Martian, Red Daughter of Krypton story-line(i have to read up on that though), Cadmus, Powergirl and maybe a crossover with Flash! It will also evolve with the direction of the direction Dragon Ball Super is taking so its all a big set-up; I also realized something very vital that I didn't realize until I was hit by it.
5 years from when I wrote the chapter Identities Revealed(in terms of the story anyways) will be 2020; you know what's in 2020? DAWN OF JUSTICE PART 2 WITH DARKSEID AS THE MAIN VILLAIN! I UNINTENTIONALLY TIMED ALICE COMING BACK TO THE PAST(IN HER TIME) TO COINCIDE WITH JUSTICE LEAGUE PART 2 AND YOU CAN BET THAT'S WHEN WE WILL SEE BABY/OMEGA ALONGSIDE DARKSEID/DEMIGRA AND WHOEVER IS THE "ULTIMATE" VILLAIN OF DRAGON BALL SUPER! The threat will be so big(especially considering Demigra's brainwashing/time-bending abilities) that members from other franchises will gather with them to do battle against the DB/Supergirl universe! Believe me by the time I'm done with Dawn of Justice part 2 you will lose all of your abilities to talk that's how big I'm going to make it.
Of course before I do that it must be "set up" and that will be done in the form of Alice(and the others that I actually hinted at in the outtro in this chapter) going off on an adventure. More than likely they will have to track down the location of the last Super-Dragon Ball but they could also be tracking down Hit since he wanted to escape the tournament using Whis's cube as seen in episode 35 of Super(because he's a hit man!) The reason why they're on an adventure won't be revealed until the tournament in my story since its only speculation that Hit will escape and steal the cube but we do know that at the end of the tournament(from what I heard) Jaco and Tights are off to search for the last Super Dragon Ball! To be clear most of this is just speculation at this point but it is fun to imagine(and speculate)!
As a writer you gather all the information and write about it as is with all the possibilities that can exist. This is why I have to clarify myself and say that some of what I write is my own head canon I take the stuff from Supergirl and Dragon Ball and combine them together to make an amazing story; I guess you can call me the "Julian Fellows" of the show. If you don't know who he is Julian Fellows is(or was) the writer of the popular drama Downtown Abbey and what he did was write several different story-lines from both the "downstairs" and "upstairs" POV; he has each of the characters do their own thing but has them interact with each other. Arguably what Fellows is known for(and why Downtown was soo good) was that he gives you twists and turns you never expect and even if you think you've seen it all he adds a shocker that adds to the tension/excitement! I didn't mean to get all into the weeds and all but I just wanted to take the time out to put that in there because its more than a story to me and to everyone who reads this; its a journey one of growth, learning and wonder. That's what I strive to do every time I write another exciting installment of my story; I just let the ideas flow from my head to the computer and the rest as they say speaks for itself. So with all that out of the way(with the exception of the usual references) I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
