A/N - The story has a few creative changes, such as the DEO still isn't a known organization after the events of Crisis. Of course, Dansen also isn't a romantic pairing but I think Kelly will be in the story. While some aspects of Crisis on Infinite Earths may be mentioned, because it is based on continuity from the first story there will be more consistency from that than what is canon in Supergirl right now. I'm also realizing there's a slight inconsistency with the dates, since season 3 (the defeat of Reign) ended in 2018, which should have made Alex and Maggie get married in 2019. I don't want to mess with the dates (birthdays, marriage etc) further so it'll just stay the way that it was originally.
"Your side has won, for now."
The voice of Lillian Luthor was still ringing in the back of Lena's mind. It had been over 25 years since December 7th 2019, hers and Jeremiah's death. Lena couldn't stop thinking about it, and was wondering what she meant.
As the years went on though, she gained a family, two sons and a wife, and thought about it less.
Calvin was now 24, and in his third year as a marketing associate for L-Corp, while his brother was still in school. Alexander and his cousin Evan were the same age at 22 years old, starting their respective first years as a graphic designer and police officer. Evan's sister Jamie, now 25, was into her fourth year at the DEO, and finally making a name for herself outside of her mother.
Alex had the same thought, thinking about everything that had happened. The fact that Lillian had tried to break her apart from her family. A lot of those thoughts diminished after the kids were born, but it would sometimes still linger and send her off with a search for any remnants.
In the heart of National City, Maggie had been promoted as Captain of the Science Division a few years after the events of Cadmus, while Alex was pregnant with Evan. The current captain had retired; he and many others recommending Maggie for her work with the DEO, the heroism she went through with taking down Cadmus and the hard work she had put in since joining. It was the highest ranking of the Science Division, and there was buzz about it through Kara's article in CatCo, and throughout the rest of National City's media as well. Both her and Alex purposely staying away from the field to be there for their kids, though would go in when necessary. Each of the Superfriends' families expanded, Winn and James each having kids of their own. Winn had two daughters: Kara and Mary, while James had Kelly, Clark and Marcus. They still worked in their respective jobs at the DEO and CatCo.
Evan and Jamie Sawyer were both heroes in their own merit, a Science Division Detective and high-ranking DEO agent. Though helping aliens were in their blood, each of them had proven to be someone else outside of their mothers, as it was extremely prestigious to be in the positions they were in so early in their careers. Both kids had expressed their desires to go into criminal justice long before they went to college, Jamie having an instinct since birth and Evan saving Darla's child in an apartment fire. Of course, National City's media saw the rise of two more Kryptonians as the years went on as well, Cal and Little Alex taking the Super names. Both Kara and Lena were glad they each had Kryptonian powers, deciding it would be unfair if one didn't.
Only time would tell when they would get into serious trouble, and who knew everything could change in an instant.
"Detective Sawyer!"
"Ma'am." Evan was in the precinct helping out with a homicide case. At the voice, he jumped before showing up in the doorway of the woman's office.
"Close the door and sit down."
Evan smiled. "What can I do for you, Cap?" He always liked when Maggie called him in, whether to give official orders or just to talk. Though they worked in the same division, they surprisingly didn't see each other often. Since joining the Science Division, he had lived with Cal on the other side of town, while Jamie had been living with friends in an apartment. She had been able to see Alex more because of the nature of the DEO, though always made a point to stop by Maggie's office before going home for the night. Little Alex had still lived at home with Kara and Lena.
Maggie didn't look up from her papers. "First things first, Director Danvers wants to get a closer look at the residue left behind. Sergeant Mackie has a sample of it over in her evidence room."
"Yes Ma'am."
Maggie put her pen down and looked at her son. "Second, are you free for dinner tonight? Cal said he could come and Jamie and Alex are going. Your Aunts will be there too."
"Wouldn't miss it. Please tell me you're cooking though and not Mom or Aunt Kara."
"Of course. It's pasta night."
"If you need any help I'll be there early?"
"Any excuse to see my favorite son." Maggie laughed. "Everyone is bringing something, can you stop at the store and get tiramisu?"
"If I say no you won't sign my paycheck won't you?"
"Correct."
Evan gave a salute and walked out. "Love you!" He yelled behind the door before closing it.
"Love you more!" Maggie looked at her phone.
Hi Honey. Evan's in, the whole family will be at the house tonight. See you later.
Maggie didn't expect a reply from Alex as she knew that her and J'onn would be dealing with the homicide. From her side, it looked like a drug ring that was attempted to be covered up. She would know more once Evan sent the evidence over to the lab.
Jamie was helping to train a new line of DEO recruits when J'onn walked in the room.
"Alright, that's a wrap for today everyone. Go home, get some rest, we're doing field training tomorrow."
"Yes Ma'am!" The recruits all yelled back.
"Tight ship you have there."
"Well, I only learned from the best. What's up?"
"Your brother's here, he's bringing evidence to your mother for analysis."
"Alright, I'll be there in a sec." Jamie grabbed her water bottle and phone and walked out to Alex's lab.
Evan walked up behind Alexm deep in thought looking at the case files. He did his impression of a random police officer. "Uh, excuse me, Ma'am. This Captain Maggie Sawyer woman sent me over to give you these uh, samples. The NCPD hopes we didn't put carpet and other things in the same bag again."
Alex turned around. "Ev!" She stood up to hug him. "Are you coming to dinner tonight?"
"Yeah, Ma just asked me before I came over here."
Alex looked down at her phone and saw the text from Maggie. She sent a quick okay, love you and placed her phone back down. "Cal's coming, I'm not sure if you were going to go home first if you two want to carpool."
"Well your wife sent me on a tiramisu errand after work so I don't know if I can."
Alex playfully rolled her eyes. "That woman and her damn cake." She looked over at the bag in Evan's hand. "So anyway, these samples."
Jamie walked into the lab and put her arm around Evan. "Hey Ev."
"How's my favorite sister?"
"Training some new dummies. Can't tell the difference between a punch to the face and punch to the gut until they get one."
"Glad I didn't have to train under you."
"I mean the offer is still up." Jamie smacked the back of her brother's head. "So tell me about this new girlfriend of yours."
Alex looked up with interest. "You didn't mention this!"
Evan glared at Jamie, who had been smirking. "No no, don't listen to her. Cal and I went to get lunch with Uncle Winn's kids."
"College ladies!"
"I want more info at dinner. A Sawyer, Danvers and two Schotts. Who would've guessed? Winn's going to be mad he's out today." Alex chuckled.
Evan turned red. "Definitely not what you're thinking, Mom. He probably knows though, considering they don't jump to conclusions. We've known them since we were kids they're practically our cousins. He named his daughter Kara for Christ's sake."
James and Winn's kids were a little younger than the Danvers and Sawyer kids, mostly still in college. Marcus Olsen, named after James' father, was a senior in high school. James had moved away after buying the Calvintown Gazette, but still kept close contact with everyone around him. Rebuilding the town around him, he finally settled down and started a family. When James left CatCo, Lena enlisted Kara as one of the primary shareholders, enabling her to report whatever she deemed the best, though administrative duties mostly fell under the former. Winn was also still at the DEO, now being the main IT guy.
"Anyway, it was nice seeing you all, I'm going to head out. See you at dinner!" Evan grinned and turned on his heels. He popped his head back into the lab door again. "Maybe I should've told them to mix those samples."
"Get back to the precinct or your mother's going to make you do a double!" Alex yelled back at him before going back to work on the samples. She turned to look at Jamie. "So what about you? Any interest in anyone?"
"A couple cute guys, a few cute girls, I don't really know. Nothing's going on. I don't think Evan's looking at anyone either, if I'm being completely honest." Jamie went to grab her jacket.
"You guys don't have to find someone now. I mean look at me, I was almost 30 before I met your mom."
"Very true, Mom. I'm heading out, I'll be at the house."
"See you soon!" Alex smiled at the conversations. She always loved getting a chance to talk face to face with her kids whenever she got the chance. She went to call Maggie.
"Sawyer."
"Hey Mags."
"Hey, babe. Evan stop by with the samples?"
"He just left. I sent him back to the precinct. I hear you're putting him on tiramisu duty?"
"Oh come on, he loves it too. He's one of the only people who will eat it."
"Kara, Lena, your Kryptonian nephews? Aren't you sending Alex out to the store too?"
"The more tiramisu the better."
Alex laughed. It was 4:00 now, and she was packing the samples up for tomorrow. "I'm going to get going now, get any extra things we might need that's not tiramisu. I'll see you at home."
"Yeah I'll wait for Evan to get back then we'll both head out. Love you."
"Love you too."
Maggie smiled at the normalcy of her life. Still after 25 years of being married, she never got over the excitement of a simple phone call or the simplicity of having a family.
"Everything went according to plan?"
"Experimented on that Hellgrammite. We took care of him, framed it as a drug ring."
"Did you find anything useful?"
"We did. Turns out you can get very valuable DNA from their blood and use that to make a Kryptonian weaker. It's going to work wonders when we execute your plan."
"Excellent."
"What's your next plan, sir?"
"Oh, well next we go and get Calvin and Alexander Danvers." The man turned around. "My sister had children with a Kryptonian. She's going to learn that was a mistake very soon when I use them to my advantage."
Lex Luthor stepped into the dim light. "We'll succeed with my Mother's mission once and for all. We synthesize this blood, and then we go and get my nephews."
