I pushed through them and went to open the cell door. "Lucy Lane is not a threat to me or others. She was under the control of Cadmus, but she broke free and saved my life." Some of the men tried to hold me back. I shoved them away and grabbed one of their guns at the same time. "What the hell are you doing?" The men shouted in protest when I opened the door, placed the gun in Lucy's hand, and raised it to my forehead.

Lucy pulled the gun away from my head immediately after I let her hold it on her own. She dismantled the gun and threw the parts away from her. All the men's faces turned to disbelief.

"Release her." I commanded to the officer in charge. He nodded, although a bit fearfully, and then they walked out of the room. Lucy stared at me with wide eyes. "Kara, what would've happened if I was still under their control? I could've killed you."

I shrugged. "But you didn't."
"I don't think that's the point I'm getting at."

"Lucy, I trust you."

She scoffed. "Thank you, but Kara, I didn't even trust myself, and I still don't."

"But I do. Come on."

Lucy and I walked out of the cells and back to Alex and J'onn, who were looking extremely upset. Alex was glaring at me, and J'onn crossed his arms in his usual disapproving stance.

"Kara-" Alex started, but then looked to Lucy's pale and depressed form. "I'm going to take Lucy to the med bay."

Lucy and I walked slowly to the med bay. Derek immediately took Lucy under her care and I walked back to J'onn. "Where did Alex go?" I asked. "She went to talk to Winn and Cisco about something. Or someone."

I walked off and found the three of them hovering over a computer. "It's not possible to be merged. Imagine all that power. There is no way it is possible." Winn stated. "Um, have you seen the data and charts? They obviously show that it is possible." Cisco rebutted. "I can't believe it." Alex breathed. "Any hints to what you three are talking about?" Winn jumped at the sound of my voice.

"Your powers. I can't believe how strong that you have gotten. Just think of everything you could do now." Cisco stated dreamily. "Uh, no. There is nothing to fantasize about." I snapped defensively.

Winn raised his eyebrow at my outburst, but said nothing. "Winn and Cisco were just trying to track those people you told me about." Alex stated.

"And?"

"Nothing." Winn stated. My shoulders slumped. "Thanks, I'll be back later." I stated and walked away. I grabbed a DEO standard motorcycle and drove back to the city. I was stopped at a red light and looked up at the towering buildings. The L Corp sign read from the building. And a large billboard stood for Queen Consolidated. A large smile broke out from my face. "They made it." I spoke from under the helmet.

I first sped to Star City and Queen Consolidated. The elevator door opened and I walked cautiously into the lobby. A flash of bright blonde hair rushed from one side of the large office to the other. I pulled open the glass door and watched them argue with each other. "Don't ask me, Ollie, I have no clue." Thea stated grumpily.

"Come on Speedy, don't be like that." I teased and smiled. They all turned around and rushed to me. "Kara, you're here. And you're safe." Felicity whispered and gave me a hug. Thea gave me a hug after Felicity let go. Oliver stared at me with disbelief.

We stood in silence for a few seconds before Felicity and Thea understood. They walked out of the office. "What about the others?" Oliver asked. "They should've made it too." I answered. "And Shade?"

I sighed. "Still on the loose." Oliver walked closer to me and gave me a tight hug. "We'll get him. Don't worry. We'll be by your side. And thank you, Kara. We couldn't have made it here without you. You saved my sister, my wife, and my friends. I'm so sorry for not trusting you at first. I should have never doubted you."

"It's okay Oliver. I understand."

"So, is Barry in this universe?"

I nodded, and then blushed slightly. "Uh, yeah. He is. And he's kind of dating me. But the others are here with him. Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, Iris. They came here when Shade was first a threat to your universe." I replied.

He smirked at me. "I knew that kid would get someone who would challenge him."

I lightly hit his shoulder. "You know I could take you on any day of the week Ollie." I teased. He groaned lightheartedly. "Don't call me that."

"Oh, come on. You're essentially a brother to me."

His phone rang. "It's Ray. He says that he's with Laurel and Sara."

"I'll let you talk to him. Bye, Oliver."

I walked out of the office and I was stopped by Thea and Felicity. "How did you know that merging the two earths would work?" Felicity asked.

I shrugged. "Honestly it was just hope. I couldn't let any of you die. Especially how you helped us out." Thea stated. "I think we still owe you. You and Maya helped us get off Terram Two."

I shrugged again. "It is what heroes do. You don't owe me anything. Just live. Be happy."

I left Queen Consolidated and traveled back over to L Corp. I pushed my way through the doors and stood in front of the large desk.

"Lena?" I called. Her head popped out from the patio. She smiled at me. "Kara!" She walked over to me and gave me a tight hug. "Thank you so much for saving my life! I just can't believe it worked."

"I can. You were the one behind the science. You supplied the facts, I just followed you and what you said. I trust you, and your skills."

She smiled wider at me. "Thank you again, Kara, for saving my life." I nodded. "Of course, Lena."

"Did the others make it?"

"Yeah, I just need to check on Barry's dad. But the Queens, Lances, Ray, and Felicity made it. The Queens' building is in Star City." I pointed out of her window. She walked over and stared at the billboard. "I think this is so crazy."

"What?"

"That we're on a different Earth. Yet, I have a life already built here from this Earth. It really messes with my perspective. Everyone knows me. And apparently, I have a brother?"

I scratched my neck. "Oh, yeah. About that. The Luthor lineage isn't very welcomed here. Your brother, Lex, tried on many occasions to kill my cousin, Superman. And your mother, Lillian, has had multiple times where she could've killed me. She runs an anti-alien organization called Cadmus. Someplace that you never want to be in. Trust me."

She placed her hand on my shoulder and squeezed it gently. "I'm so sorry, Kara." I smiled reassuringly at her. "It's okay. It never was your fault." I took a step back from Lena. "It's great seeing you, Lena, but I really must be getting back." She nodded. "Of course, Kara." I handed her a piece of paper. "If you ever need to reach me." I stated and left L Corp.

I drove off to a small residential area and walked up to the small house. I knocked on the door. It opened and Barry's dad stood there smiling. "Kara." He greeted. "Hello Mr. Allen."

We both walked into his house. "We've been over this, Kara. Call me Henry."

I nodded. "How's it been? Adjusting?"

"Good. It's a bit odd to not be in jail, to be honest. How did everyone else fair? Did they make it?"

"Yeah, everyone made it here just fine."

He stared at me. "And, how are you? The last time I saw you, you were beaten up badly." I shrugged. "I made it through."

"How's Barry?"

My eyes widened. "Oh no! I haven't seen him since-"

Henry cut me off. "Go Kara. I will be here after you two are done seeing each other." I shook my head. "No, you're his father. He should know that you are here."

"Only after he knows that you are safe."

"I-Thank you, Henry."

He smiled at me. "Of course, Kara. Just make sure he visits me after." I nodded and went back outside. I jumped on the bike and sped to my apartment.

I opened the door and cautiously stepped into the living room. I used my super hearing and heard Barry's slow and even heartbeat. "Barry?" I called.

There was rustling in the back before Barry emerged from the corner. "Kara, thank God! Where were you? What happened to you? Who did this?"

"I was on some remote island, I needed to organize my thoughts. Then I came back after a few weeks and I was arrested."

"Wait what? By whom?"

"Lucy." Anger washed over his face. He turned to the door with a determined face. I grabbed him by the shoulders. "No, Barry don't. I'm tired of fighting people, please. I'm tired of being angry at people."

His shoulders dropped all tension, but his jaw was still set. "Why wasn't I told about any of this? Why didn't anyone tell me you were arrested?"

"Lucy ordered it to be kept under wraps. I have a feeling that if agents started to find out, then Cadmus would've failed in trying to get me. It wasn't her fault, Barry. Cadmus did something to take control of her body. She wasn't in her right mind. I forgave her."

He stared into my eyes. "What did they do?" He asked. I hesitated. "Kara." He drew out. Barry held my shoulder gently and took a step closer to me. I lowered my head and shook it. "What did they do to you?"

I swallowed harshly and looked back into his eyes. "Lillian, she strapped me down and used everything in her arsenal. She saw that it wasn't getting to me, so she got Lucy into the room."

"Oh god, what did she do to you?"

"She- she almost killed me." I pulled down my shirt enough to show the penetration point above my heart. "I was lucky enough to snap Lucy out of whatever had her under control. We broke out, but not before getting attacked by Cadmus guards."

His hand moved up to my cheek. Barry caressed my face softly. "Are you okay?" I nodded sluggishly. "Yeah. I healed fine. But I definitely want to take things easy for a while." He smiled. "I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise Lucy would've had to answer to me."

"You don't need to worry about it anymore."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "One thing I don't understand though." He started. "What?"

"Why did Lillian come after you again? Cadmus was disbanded and all the contributors were locked up. Why the sudden urge to start it up again?" He asked. "It was Shade. I'm almost certain of it. Lillian told me that someone offered a deal. Kill me and get the funding for Cadmus 2.0."

His nostrils flared dangerously. "Of course, it was Shade. I'm going to kill him." His eyes sparked with electricity.

I pulled on his shirt and our lips met briefly. I pulled away. He looked at me, confused. "Don't worry about that now. There is something I need to tell you. It's about your father. He's here."

"Wha-"

"When I was on your earth, I tried to save some people. People you know. The Queens, the Lances, Felicity, Ray, Lena, and your father. They're all on this earth."

"How?"

"It doesn't matter, just go to your dad. He's by Oaks Park."

He shook his head. "No, I haven't seen you in such a long time. I should be here with you." I pushed him to the door lightly. "No, it's okay. I'll be here when you come back."

"Funny, the last time you said that, you weren't here." He crossed his arms. "I'm really okay. I got out of Cadmus a few days ago." His eyes snapped to mine. "What? Why wasn't I told?" I shrugged. "I thought that you were told." Barry stepped closer to me. "That doesn't matter now. I can see my dad tomorrow. I want to be with you, Kara. Okay? There is nothing that you can do to stop me from being here with you." I rolled my eyes and then smiled. "Ugh, fine." He laughed and kissed my lips.

"So, what do you want to do? Movie night?" He asked. "Actually, I was hoping to catch up on some Homeland." He smiled at me. "Sounds good, babe." He kissed my forehead before walking to the kitchen.

I grabbed a blanket from the couch and waited for Barry. He walked over with a large bowl of popcorn and we started to watch the tv. I woke up some time later back in my bed. I was extremely uncomfortable. The bed was too soft. I rolled over and saw Barry fast asleep next to me. I smiled, grabbed a pillow, a blanket, and laid down on the floor. Unconsciousness grabbed me harshly and pulled me into a night full of memories and pain.

My mind was kicked back into consciousness. I gasped awake and cried out. Purple welts were scattered across my abdomen like a disease. It hurt to breathe and I wondered if some ribs were cracked. I could barely move. Every muscle had seized up. My body was struggling to recover, to repair the damage. I was unable to move with any grace; my movements were jerky. The mud and grit had become enmeshed with my raw pink flesh and was spotted with blood.

I looked around for any sign, any clue to where I was. I was laid out on the cold hard ground. The hairs on my neck stood up as I realized where I was. "May-" I tried to call out, but I felt like I couldn't breathe. The dust in my lungs continued to rack my body with a coughing attack as I grimaced in pain from my torso. Finally, it stopped and the tears cleared up. "Maya?"

I scanned my surroundings and I saw her blonde hair covered by dirt. "Maya!" I tried to get up quickly, but I slipped in the mud and fell back down with a large smack. My breath escaped me and I bit my lip as I wheezed. I pulled myself over to Maya. I ran my fingers through her hair. "Maya? Can you hear me?" I called. No answer.

There was a laughing off in the distance. "She can't hear you little Kryptonian. But don't worry, she will hear your screams as I tear out your heart and eat it." A Cruid purred venomously as it showed its rows of sharp and yellowed teeth. Its orange eyes glowed in the darkness as the large thin creature stalked over to us threateningly.

It stood only a few inches away and I could smell the rotting flesh in its teeth. "I've never had Kryptonian before. Do you think you taste like the pestilent humans? Or because of your advanced ways, would your blood be sweeter?" If this alien would've had lips, I would've guessed it was leering at me. Its orange eyes flickered over to Maya. "Maybe I should it that one first. Less of a fight." The claw of the Cruid wrapped around my leg and flung me over its back.

I pulled off one of its armored blades from its back and stabbed it into its shoulder. The Cruid shrieked something inhuman before ripping me off its back. I was slammed into the ground once again. Spots danced in my vision as the claw began its decent into my chest.

I screamed out and tore my nails into its hand. "KARA! WAKE UP!" I opened my eyes to see Barry nervously looking down at me. "Thank God. Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head. "What happened?"

"A bad memory."

"Do you want to talk about it."

I shook my head and looked away from him. He understood immediately.

"How did you end up on the floor?"

I pulled myself up in a sitting position. "I couldn't sleep on the bed. I'm not used to it."

His eyes turned to concern and he watched me carefully. Barry pulled me closer to him. "You don't deserve this Kara."

I leaned into his touch. He looped his arms around my shoulders and legs. Barry gently laid me back on the bed. "It's okay Kara. I'm here for you. I'll stay awake with you." He kissed my forehead. I leaned my head on his chest and listened to his steady heart. Soon, I was lulled off to sleep.

I woke up some time later. I could feel Barry's warm breath on my neck. "How did you sleep?" He asked softly. "Better, thank you Barry. I haven't slept that well since- I don't even remember." He frowned. Barry traced his finger along my arm and I closed my eyes again.

I wrapped my arm around his torso and breathed in slowly. Suddenly, I heard sirens going off downtown. Barry heard it a minute later when it raced by the apartments.

He pulled away from me. "I have to go, Kara." I nodded. "Of course." He raced off after the sirens and I waited. My apartment was completely silent. I stayed on the bed. Even though I had sworn off being Supergirl, there was a part of me that wanted to go back out there and help Barry. I sighed and draped my arm over my face.
