Chapter Two: Alternate Ending

A/N: What happens if Lena couldn't find Kara after sending her away. This is just a fix it for the bullshit ending The Continental gave us. The henchman doesn't actually have a name so I had to improvise.

The Adjudicator's POV

It had been eight months since Kara was stranded in my dimension. She kept her word and became my bodyguard but wasn't much for the violence. She still longed for her home but the look in her eyes had changed. They were tender now when she looked at me.

After giving me her word that she would always be there if I needed her, I felt comfortable enough to let Kara get her own job. I will admit, she makes a damn good reporter. If anything devious came up about The Continental, she brought it to my attention. I would handle it so she could keep her integrity.

Now, though, as I stared down the barrel of a gun, all I thought about was her. "I'm sorry, Kara," I murmured. I will miss you the most. As the gun discharged, I waited for a pain that never came.

"Who the hell are you?"

What? Opening my eyes, I saw blonde locks. "Kara?"

"Bad idea," Kara growled. Punching Winston in the nose, he fell back onto the steps.

"H-How…."

Turning her attention to Kirk, Kara asked. "Can you take care of him? I think I know where the coin press is but I want to get her to safety."

"Of course," he nodded.

Opening the backseat door, Kara smiled softly. "I have a lot of explaining to do. Would you like to go to the restaurant early or somewhere else?"

"We can talk in the car. It won't take Kirk long to have someone come get Winston." Sliding into the backseat, I studied the blonde as she did the same.

"It's best that we speak alone anyway." Kara glanced behind her. "The Adjudicator is safe with me. I wouldn't hurt her."

"She's safe," I reassured Kirk. He's always been such a loyal henchman. As Kara closed the door, I waited. Fidgeting with her nails, she bit the inside of her cheek. "How did you get across town so quickly? I wasn't expecting you for another hour."

"I always listen for your heart beat now," Kara bit her lip. "When I heard it spike, I came. I told you I'd be here if you ever needed me."

Something in her voice has changed also. "But that doesn't explain how you heard me across town or stopped a bullet. No human can do those things." When she wouldn't answer, I placed my hand on hers. "Kara, I already know you're not from my dimension. I can handle a lot of things most can't."

"I'm not from Earth either," she murmured.

"What?" Knowing we were out of sight, I took my mask off.

"I'm from a different planet. When my world was destroyed, I was sent to my Earth. I was raised by a human family. They taught me everything about what it was to be human and put me through school."

"Tell me about your people."

"Krypton is where I'm from. On this planet, the yellow sun gives me powers. On my Earth, I was a hero. I protected the city from crime the local police couldn't handle."

A few things make sense now. "So you have, what, super speed and strength?"

"All of my senses and abilities are heightened." Kara began to tremble. "I never told you because I was scared."

"I'm not going to force you to kill or do anything you don't want to do," I spoke softly. Tucking hair behind the woman's ear, I smiled. "You're still safe with me."

Meeting my gaze, Kara studied me. "You're okay with this?"

"I'm a very open minded woman. One far before my time."

"You are in every dimension," she laughed.

"I know I'm not your Lena but I'm glad to have you with me," I whispered.

"I'm glad I have you too." Glancing to my lips, Kara closed the gap between us. Tangling a hand in blonde locks, I deepened the kiss causing her to moan. We both jumped as the driver's door opened.

"Onwards to dinner, Ma'am? Kirk asked.

"Yes. I believe they'll work us in a bit early." Taking my hand in hers, Kara kissed my knuckles. Meeting the woman's gaze, I smiled. "Dinner with my girl is just what I need after this afternoon's events."
