Six Months Ago…

"Dr. Havens, I don't understand. What do you mean 'it's time'? What are you-" Supergirl let out an aggravated sigh as the good doctor buzzed past her. For the past two weeks, he had been attempting to get Supergirl's attention. First, he approached her after a fire in Metropolis. Then another time in Bludhaven after a botched mission with Nightwing. She had begun to think he was behind all the events until he told her he knew her secret identity. When she faced him in Gotham, he told her all that he knew, which led her to this warehouse/scientific facility in Bludhaven. He had been muttering under his breath and running around frantically while fidgeting with various instruments the moment Supergirl arrived.

"It's almost time," he muttered again as he moved around Supergirl. With a groan of frustration she grabbed the collar of the doctor's white coat and pulled him back.

"What is going on?"

Havens blinked a few times and focused on Supergirl. "In less than three minutes that portal," he pointed to the giant ring that resembled the ones you would see on Stargate, "will open. Once it does, you need to go through it and retrieve her." He attempted to pull away from Supergirl but she held fast to him.

"Retrieve who?"

Havens gave her a sorrowful look. "You, Supergirl. Retrieve you."

Themyscira Island, Now…

The soft sound of the waves crashing into the rocks rose over the edge of the cliff towards the marble courtyard by the edge of the cliff. The torches put off a warm orange glow and flickered with the occasional breeze. Two Amazonian guards stood tall with their shields and spears as they guarded Kara Zor-El's body, which was still laying on the alter with the thin shroud over it.

The one standing near Kara's head glanced down at the dead Kryptonian and frowned. "It is not fair," said Phoebe.

"Huh?" said Scyleia as she looked away from the cliff. She swore she had seen movement but it was just the wind.

"I said it is not fair. The Daughter of Alura was one of the fiercest warriors we had ever seen, despite her powers. It is not fair that she had to die."

"She sacrificed her life for Princess Diana. She acted admirably as any true Amazonian would have done." Scyleia finally let her eyes fall on Kara's form, an act she had been avoiding the moment she had taken over guarding Supergirl, and at once her stoic façade cracked. She had met her once during a training session with Artemis. Kara was young then and still had the eyes of a hopeful child. Scyleia had been amused by the impetuous girl and taught her a few lessons in humility. But here they were years later, and though no one would say Supergirl's temper had disappeared entirely, they at least could say she had grown to be a fierce yet sometimes emotional fighter. Scyleia let a loose strand of hair blow in her face as her eyes watered.

"The wind is picking up, must be-Scyleia, look." The Amazon focused on her sister to see her in a defensive pose facing the cliff. Near the edge of it a small light began to form; this was also the central point where the fiercer wind was coming from. Scyleia shifted her grip to prepare to throw the spear and for whatever would happen next. The small light, no bigger than a loaf of store bought bread exploded into a giant white circle. "It is Apokolips, they have returned." Within the light, a grey figure began to emerge. In one swift motion Phoebe threw her spear at the figure; Scyleia quickly followed. The figure caught bother spears easily, spun them in its hands and threw them back at the guards. They zoomed past their heads and shattered against the wall far behind them.

"Phoebe, go. Warn the others."

"No, sister. I cannot leave you to face the monster." Just then, the sound of horns blasting sounded though the air. Phoebe smiled. "See, sister. They know of its presence." The guards drew their swords and prepared for the attack. The closer the figure got, the more of its form was revealed. "The creature is a woman."

"Do not be fooled by its form, young one. Our princess has faced a number of evil women from Apokolips." Phoebe and Scyleia shifted their feet again as the female figure grew closer. It was not until her face became clear that the Amazons' moxie faded quickly. "It cannot be."

The figured looked between the two guards. She lifted her left hand and motioned for them to step aside. "Move, dear sisters. This moment is beyond you." Phoebe quickly shuffled away but Scyleia remained frozen. The figure lifted her hand and placed it on the Amazon's left cheek. The motion caused Scyleia to flinch and then back away with large steps.

She then approached the altar and stared down at the cold body of Kara Zor-El. In the distance, the sound of running Amazon's warned her that more guards were approaching. The figure bent down and picked Kara up in her arms then she turned quietly and walked back to the portal. When she was only a few feet away, Scyleia called out to her.

"Stop! Stop you demon of the Underworld. You cannot have her. You can't." The figure turned her head slightly to the right and spoke a phrase in Ancient Greek to her. Scyleia fell to her knees and watched as the figure disappeared into the light. Less than a second later, the portal shrunk to the size of a pinhole and disappeared.

The rest of the guards finally arrived but it was obviously too late. "Scyleia. Scyleia!" Artemis shook her fellow sister hard on the shoulder but she did not move from her position on the marble.

"Artemis!" yelled out another guard. "Kara Zor-El's body is gone!" Artemis turned back to Scyleia. When she realized she would get nothing out of her, Artemis turned to Phoebe.

"You. What happened here?"

Phoebe glanced at the place where the portal had once been before facing Artemis and answered, "Supergirl, general."

"Yes, what about her? Where is her body?"

Phoebe shook her head aggressively. "No, Supergirl was here. She-she was the one her took Kara's body. Kara took Kara away."

Artemis, though completely shocked on the inside, did not let her feelings show. Slowly she called to one of the guards and said in a low voice, "Go. Get Princess Diana and Queen Hippolyta." The guard went to run away but Artemis reached out and grabbed her bicep. "Get Superman too, and Batman."

"What should I tell them?"

"The truth. That Kara Zor-El's body was taken by…Kara Zor-El."

Metropolis…

"…and that's all we have now on the shooting in San Bernardino. In other news, the casualties of the Qurac earthquake continue to rise with the death toll close to 200 and very few survivors. In addition, no word has been given on whether or not Daily Planet news reporter, Linda Lee-Danvers, has been found. I'm Harold Hanes for PGN News, good night." The camera panned out and then the red light on it went off. The sound of the newsroom rose again as people broke down the set for the night.

"Hey, Harold," yelled out one of the grips. "You know when Grant is coming back?"

"She'll be back to work the beginning of next week but I think she'll be back by the beginning of the weekend, why?"

"No reason. Have a good night, Harold."

"You too, Donny." Soon all of the machines were powered down, the late-night snacks were put away, and the lights were off. The next day would be a new day and maybe one filled with a little more hope.

Chapter's not as long or as good as the previous ones but it is what it is. I like the next one a lot more, which should be posted by tomorrow since there's only a little bit left on it.

Just a heads up, not all that you see in these chapters will be answered within Part 1. Part 2 is from Diana's, Cassandra's and a few other POV's.
