Uneasy Truth

-End of February 2018-

Kara flew over Metropolis with Clark by her side, she felt wonderful.

"It's been too long," Kara said with a smile. It really had been a long time since it was just the two of them, flying together. The pair were spending the day together, enjoying each other's company and not doing much, beyond the odd hero work like stopping a car chase.

"Yeah," Clark said looking down on his city and then turning to look at his cousin as they flew. "You know, Jason and Ella are still talking about that Kryptonian ceremony we did the other day. It's all they're talking about, actually." Kara smiled at that.

The other day in the Kryptonian calendar, it was a special Kryptonian Holiday to celebrate Rao. It was also the traditional day Kryptonians took in new members of the family and preformed a protection ceremony over them – a sort of like Baptism, asking Rao to always watch over them. Kara had wanted to preform it for the girls as she and Astra had not celebrated the holiday in a long time. Ha was for it too, so the entire House of El, including Lois and Barry, Krypto and Hex plus Ha went to the Fortress for the day for the celebration.

"So are Karen, Connor and Morgan," Kara replied; the clones had been included as well – they were members of the House of El after all. "They wanted to know why they didn't get a ceremony before. I was unsure what to tell them. Technically it's Morgan and Connor's first too. Didn't think of them, as they are not babies."

"Jason and Ella were asking if they had one as well," Clark added in. "Heartbroken when I said no."

"I didn't think you wanted to raise them in the religion of Rao," Kara said truthfully, feeling down now that she had made her niece and nephew upset. "To perform the ceremony and not raise them…"

"I know," Clark said, raising his hand. "But I think they might want to follow some Kryptonian customs."

Kara nodded. "Well, I will ask Astra and the Fortress holograms, but I see no reason why we cannot perform a ceremony for Karen, Connor, Morgan, Ella, and Jason if they want to follow Rao."

"They would…" Clark paused as a streak of fire indicating something was crashing. "So much for our quiet day together."

"Cisco," Kara said, knowing her com was in and that was all she needed to get the Superflash cave on the line.

"Not here," Caitlin's voice instead replied, and Kara silently nodded as they got closer, realizing it was some sort of air ship or maybe even space ship that was falling through the sky. It crashed into the street below, before the two could stop it. Luckily, the ship didn't hit into any buildings or harm anyone – people had run for cover when they realized what was happening.

"Tell the DEO we have aliens and need a ship picked up in Metropolis," Kara said, landing with Clark.

"They need to make a headquarters in Metropolis," Caitlin said thoughtfully on the line, going to contact the DEO.

"This is Daxamite," Kara said as they landed, recognizing the outline and the wording on the ship from her sister planet.

The two moved forward and opened the door, going into the average sized ship. Once inside, they found a man and a woman badly injured, and it didn't just seem from the crash. It looked like they had been attacked. "They're breathing," Clark said, going to the unconscious man.

"I think we're in the presence of royalty," Kara muttered, noticing the crown on the woman's head and then heard a cry. "And there is someone else here."

Kara looked around and moved a piece of debris. Strapped into a chair was a crying child; a girl maybe around five or six. "Hi," Kara said.

"You Kryptonian," the little girl said, pointing at her shirt. Kara recognized the Daxamite language; it was very similar to Kryptonese after.

"Yes," Kara said in Kryptonese, hoping she would understand it and going to unstrap the girl. "And you're Daxamite."

"Mommy said you were bad," the little girl said.

"Well, Kryptonians and Daxamites use to be enemies, but that was a long time ago," Kara explained, seeing the girl was scared. "We are going to go get you help, and your parents. I'm Kara. But a lot of people call me Supergirl."

"Romana," Romana said, letting Kara pick her up. It seemed her parents hadn't completely turned her against Kryptonians yet.

"Supergirl, we need to get them to the DEO fast. Their hearts are not beating well," Clark said, having been freeing the two Daxamite from their straps while Kara calmed the girl.

Kara nodded, holding onto Romana and picking up her mom as carefully as she could while carrying the girl. "Hold on tight," Kara said to Romana as the two flew off. Romana screamed and put her head into Kara's shirt.

-Karry Universe-

Laurel hung up the phone with a sigh as she sat back on the couch.

"Something wrong?" Thea asked, sitting down near Laurel.

"I just got fired," Laurel said, making a face at that.

"I'm sorry," Thea said, not sure what else to tell her friend.

"Can't say I'm surprised," Laurel sighed with a shrug. "With all the work on Team Canary, I let my cases go. It's not as enjoyable as it once was. Maybe I'll open my own practice. Smaller cases. I have been thinking about it recently…"

"I could get you a job at Palmer," Thea tried, and Laurel laughed.

"I don't think everyone in this super family needs to work for Kara and Barry," Laurel joked. "I got to go in tonight. Clear my desk and brief my replacement on my current cases. Will Team Canary be fine without me?"

"Yeah, I think we can handle. Nothing big going on," Thea said with a smile. "Good luck." Laurel groaned, got up, and headed towards the door.

-Superflash-

Kara and Clark were entertaining Romana, who only had minor scratches. Barry asked if he should show up, but Kara had told him no. Finally, the DEO doctor came out.

"There's nothing I can do," he said. "It's not just their injuries – they were definitely attacked before the crash. Someone was trying to kill them. Even with yellow sun, the crash added with their former injuries are slowly killing them. They are awake right now, but weak. They asked for their daughter."

"Rao…" Kara signed sadly. Romana hadn't understood a word, so she turned to the little girl. Pausing a moment, she decided not to tell her just yet. "Come on," Kara said, bringing Romana into the room where Clark was with her parents.

"Kryptonian?" The female said in English, looking at them weakly. "You plan to take our child!"

"We don't hurt children," Clark said as Kara let go of Romana's hand and she jumped onto the bed of her mother, who moaned at the move. "But we cannot save you."

"You tried?" The man said, and the two nodded. "Well then, we owe you. I am King Lar Grand, and this is my wife, Queen Rhea."

"The Daxamite King and Queen," Kara realized, shocked. She had thought they were royalty when she first saw them but hadn't realized they were the king and queen. "What happened to you?" She then asked, curious.

"When Krypton was destroyed, it didn't take Daxam long to circle into the path of remaining fragments of the planet. Daxam was decimated by the remains of Krypton, but there were survivors, those who escaped or tunneled deep enough away from the destruction. We thought we could reunite them all and go home," Lar explained weakly, "rebuild Daxam… But they would not follow us."

"Why not? Everything I know about Daxam says they are completely loyal to their royal family," Kara said, giving Clark a look. Clark shrugged though, unsure himself. He only knew of Daxam from the Fortress records, which had said the same as Kara.

"They blamed us for Daxam's destruction…" Rhea stopped and then looked at her husband.

Lar sighed. "We are dying anyway, but do not take this out on Romana," Lar pleaded. "Swear on your House. The House of El, if my symbols are correct." Lar eyes were on their chests. The house crest was very recognizable on Krypton and surrounding planets.

"I, Kara Zor-El, daughter of Alura, of the House of El swear not to let anything you tell us be taken out on your kin, Romana. By Rao, my word is my law," Kara practically recited, curious about what these two were going to tell them. Besides, she would never hurt a child for something their parents did.

"I, Kal-El, son of Jor-El, of the house of El, swear not to let anything you tell us be taken out on Romana. By Rao, my word is my law," Clark sort of recited, also never going to hurt a child.

"We could have saved Krypton," Rhea said the moment silence descended upon them; Kara just stared. She felt Barry sending calming emotions to her, however, even if she didn't quite know what to feel. Not without more information, at least. "We had the technology to fix Krypton's core, but our analysis of the planet core said it would blow when Daxam and Krypton were not in line. Krypton would be dead, but Daxam fine."

"But the core was more unstable then we knew. It exploded sooner than we thought, bringing Daxam's death, as well as Krypton's," Lar continued. "It was our son, Mon-El, who was outspoken to save Krypton." Kara could feel so many emotions as the King and Queen talked: Confusion on how to feel about these revelations, anger that they hadn't helped save Krypton, sorrow at the rivalry between the planets… but at the name Mon-El, Kara and Clark looked at each other. They had not known Mon, and by extension that meant Morgan, was Daxamite royalty. "We thought he escaped and we spent years trying to find him. You see, he could reunite our people, but we could not. We figured he was dead, so we decided to have another child. We hoped Daxam would not take our mistakes out on a new one. They could follow a new royal."

"But our people decided they did not want us," Rhea said, "any of us. We barely escaped with Romana before they could kill all three of us. I guess they managed to get us... in the end," The two were struggling to breath. They did not have long left.

"Superman," Kara said, going into business mode now, seeing the story was over and she indicated for Clark to follow her as they left the room.

"I… I don't know how to feel." Kara said now, her emotions were all over the place. She kept a straight face though. She could run STAR Co., she could deal with this.

"Me either," Clark said, shaking his head. "That was Krypton. They could have saved billions of lives and chose not to." Clark took a deep breath. "They took any chance we had of a life on Krypton, but at the same time I love my life. I have Lois and the kids. You."

"Barry, the girls, Karen, Morgan, Connor. Astra would still be in jail if Krypton had not blown," Kara said shaking her head. "I am happy with my life. It's hard to know what to feel about this. Our planet dying was sad when it was an unavoidable, but… now… It seems like a genocide. They choose to kill our people."

"There's a fine line between committing actual genocide and doing nothing, leading to genocide." Clark reasoned. "What do you want to do?" Clark asked, putting an arm on his cousin's shoulder. This day had gone from good to weird very quickly.

"What can we do? Their own people took care of them. And that child will be protected. She did nothing," Kara said. "There is one thing we need to decide… Do we tell them of Mon and Morgan or let them not know in their final moments?"

They are parents, Kara, Barry thought to her at that moment, having been paying attention to them. He could feel Kara's emotions, her inner conflict. Show you're a bigger person. They deserve some peace before they die.

"Barry is right," Kara said with a nod, and Clark had to smile, not exactly sure what Barry had said, but bringing his cousin into a hug. He might not have heard the conversation but he knew what was decided just from Kara's tone and body language. It was the right call.

"Doctor." Kara called for the doctor, who had looked over the Daxamite. "Do me a favor. Go find Morgan and send him up this way."

"Yes ma'am," the doctor said, moving away.

"I'm here for you," Clark said, turning to move back into the room, arm still around his cousin.

"Hey… We have something we need to tell you," Kara said a little softly to the dying Daxamites, knowing they did not have much time. "Your son, Mon-El he is alive." The two opened their eyes shocked at this. Romana was now sitting by her mother's bedside, but watching what was going on with intrigue. "He landed here."

"We can see our son before we… pass?" Rhea said.

"He's not here anymore," Kara said, taking a breath. "He was captured by an organization who was trying to use his DNA and my cousin's here to create a weapon against us all. We rescued him, but he had lead poisoning. The only way to save his life was by sending him into the Phantom Zone. We hope to find a cure for him sooner or later, but the organization did make a half clone of him and Superman."

As if on cue, the young Morgan appeared, jumping at Clark as he called "Daddy, you came here!"

"Yes, I did," Clark said, smiling although concerned for the Daxamite royalties. The way Morgan got so excited when he saw Clark always made Clark smile. Morgan was such a happy kid. It was almost unbelievable to think he was a guard at the DEO. Clark had been trying to get him to go out more, to find a life outside of this place.

"Morgan," Kara said, guiding the boy's attention to her. "You know how you have two dads and one we had to send away? Well these are your other father's parents and sister." Morgan turned around to face them. Rhea took a deep breath and Lar held out his hand.

"I can see Mon in you," Lar said, looking at the boy.

"Grandma, Grandpa," Morgan said, moving over and hugging them, but it caused pain. "Are you okay?" Morgan turned to look at Kara.

"They are dying Morgan," Kara said, and tears appeared in Morgan eyes. "But you have the right to see them before they die."

Kara and Clark gave each other a look, before deciding to leave the four together. "Kryptonians," Lar voice said and the two turned at the door. "Thank you… for my…. this… if it makes a difference… we… we wish we had saved Krypton."

"There were many lives on Krypton. Men, women, and children. Those lives are on your head," Kara said, wanting to get this out, feeling more spiteful than Clark. She had been part of that planet for her childhood, after all. "But we have lives. We found a new home and there are other Kryptonians here. Maybe not as many Kryptonians as Daxamite alive, but Krypton culture is surviving. Here on our new home. With our families. Krypton lives here, but it seems even with the survivors of your planet, Daxam's culture has died. And that's on your head."

-Karry Universe-

Team Canary was out in Starling that night, only minus one Laurel, with added Oliver leadership in her wake.

"And done," Paula said as they got rid of their last thug. "Is it me or are baddies in Starling kind of lame of late?"

"Artemis, you know its Central and National that get all the cool one," Thea joked with a smile to her friend.

"Well, I think that's all for the night," Oliver stated, but then they felt the ground shake and heard an explosion. "Or maybe not!"

"An alert was just set up at the air force base," Curtis said on coms. "You're nearby the hanger."

"On it," Oliver said, giving his team a nod, and the group moved, heading to the air base. The place was in chaos and personnel didn't even flinch as vigilantes came in to help. "Artemis, take Red Arrow and Wild Dog and go through the hanger doors. Me and Speedy will go this way. Trap the intruder." Oliver wasn't sure if it was a good thing they had Jack with them, but they did so have to use him. Leaving him alone would be more dangerous than him being with them.

Artemis, Wild Dog, and Red Arrow were quick heading in their direction as Oliver and Thea went in the other way. There was a hole in the ground inside the hanger and a man like none they had seen but one they recognized from a call with Watchtower some weeks ago.

"Down!" Oliver yelled, recognizing Darkseid as he and Thea aimed their arrows. On the other side, William and Paula arrow came up, and along with gunfire from Jack. All hit into Darkseid, without the alien flinching.

The alien turned around, nearly laughing at the group.

"Such pitiful attempts…" the man stated, barely glancing at the team surrounding him.

"Laugh as this," Thea said, coming out with a special arrow. It was an exploding one but the explosion did nothing against Darkseid as Thea continued hitting arrows into him with the rest of the team.

Darkseid sent out a blast that hit Thea head on and smashed her into a wall. "Speedy!" Oliver yelled, running to his sisters' side. She was unconscious and bleeding. Paula, Jack, and William were all hitting arrow and bullets at Darkseid now, and dodging attacks as best they could but they felt Darkseid was playing with them as they gathered around where Thea was on the floor. Oliver was using all his arrows, every single one he had – even the special ones. Exploding arrows, sticky ones to stop his movement, extra sharp ones... Nothing was working. Finally, they were all out of arrows and Jack was out of bullets.

"This has been amusing, you have not," Darkseid stated, about to send another blast at them, but as the very large blast came there way a Vibe-like portal opened, taking the fire. A girl appeared in front of them from the other side, and another portal opened in front of the blast and right behind Darkseid. His own blast hit into him making him scream.

A portal opened behind the Team. "In! Now!" The girl yelled, and Team Canary didn't waste a second. Oliver picked up his sister. Jack was first in, followed by Paula. William went in and Oliver picked up Thea and went in last. The girl jumped through last and the portal closed right before Darkseid would follow.

"Whoa!" They heard Curtis exclaim, and Oliver realized they were in the Canary Cave.

"Who are you?" Oliver asked, turning to the girl who had just saved them. Thea still in his arms. She wasn't moving.

"You're welcome," the girl said, and she looked kind of familiar to the group. "And you can call me Accord. Came here to help you. Didn't realize how much I would be needed."

"Oliver?" Paula said looking over Thea. "She needs a hospital now."

"I can get you to any hospital in the country in a second," Accord said. "Just might want to take off her red hood."

-Karry Universe-

"Every time," Barry said, moving the sheet. Hex was under it and was playing with the blanket. "Every time we change the sheets on the bed, you become a pain in the ass." Barry commented to the cat who meowed at him. After they got home Barry decided to change the sheets; the problem was, Hex always thought they were playing a game when Barry moved the sheets. Going under the blankets and attacking them when Barry moved them. She was having fun, Barry was not.

"She's just playing," Kara said dismissively, coming in the room. "Krypto is waiting for you, Hex." At that, Hex happily jumped off the bed and ran to the girl's room for the night.

"How are you?" Barry asked. It had been a hard day for Kara, learning her planet could have been saved.

"I'm sad for the people who could have been saved. At the same time, I love my life," Kara said, and Barry knew the complicated emotions Kara was going through. He had felt them all day as Kara sorted through her feelings. "I don't know what my life would have been like on Krypton, but it's hard to picture it better than what I have here and now with you." Barry gave a goofy smile and Kara kissed his cheek. "J'onn called before. Rhea and Lar Grand died earlier."

"What will happen to their daughter?" Barry asked, curious for the poor girl.

"She's spending the night in the DEO to be watched over. To make sure she has no other injuries. Then she will be sent to meta home where she will learn English and how to control her powers," Kara said.

"Meta home?" Barry asked, with a raised eyebrow. "She's not a meta."

"The home is run by the DEO who deal with both meta humans and aliens. Aliens kids are meta home business too now," Kara said and then smiled. "Besides, Eliza is uniquely qualified to deal with an alien child." Eliza might think she failed Kara, but Kara had to smile at this thought. She loved her foster mom, and her foster mom was happy helping these kids. Through Kara, Eliza had found her purpose.

"How's Morgan?" Barry asked, wondering if meeting grandparents and then losing them would permanently scar their most go-lucky happy teen.

"He's a bit sad, but Clark offered him to come to Metropolis for the weekend and that cheered him up," Kara said. "But tell Gideon, no alerts tonight. I just want a silent night." Kara headed for the en suit to brush her teeth when Barry's phone rang. "I am serious. No alerts! Firestorm or Wally or Jesse can take it." Kara called from the bathroom.

"It's Oliver," Barry called to Kara answering the phone. "Olly, what's…?"

"What is Thea insurance?" Oliver asked before Barry could even finish his sentence.

"What?" Barry asked, confused, not sure what Oliver was asking him.

"Health insurance," Oliver said. "She works for you. You provide her health insurance. What is it?"

"Um… That's more Kara's thing," Barry said. "Something wrong?" Barry asked, suddenly worried.

"We had a confrontation with Darkseid," Oliver said, Barry alert now. "Thea… Thea is hurt, and the hospital has given me all this paperwork to fill out and I don't know what freaking health insurance she is under."

"United," Kara said by the door to the bathroom. "We used United, but he's going to need her information. She should have a card in her bag. Or somewhere in her apartment."

Barry repeated the information. "I'm on my way," Barry said after a moment and hung up the phone. Kara nodded to Barry, who ran off running right passed Amelia, who had been about the knock on the door.

"Something happen?" Amelia asked, noticing Kara looking worried. Kara merely nodded. "Okay, well I was just going to say goodnight but if you want to go, I can look after the girls."

"Thanks," Kara said with a nod and headed out after Barry.

-Superflash-

Barry arrived at the hospital at the same time Laurel came in with a bag. Barry looked at the group, but eyes went to a familiar, and unexpected face. "Amelia?" Barry asked, sure she had been at home when he left.

"That's why she looks familiar!" Jack called in agitation. They had all been told of Barry's new little sister.

"I didn't think you had a me?" Accord said curiously, a sudden smile on her face.

"She's new," Kara said, arriving herself. "And at home, so this is Accord." Kara gave the alternate of her new sister-in-law a curious look, wondering what she was doing here.

"I've got to meet her," Accord said, the smile still on her face.

"What happened?" Barry whispered coming near them. Laurel was also wanting to find out so as Oliver finished the paperwork. Paula took them all somewhere safe so they weren't overheard and told the story of Darksied's appearance and attack.

"Accord, thank you." Barry turned to the woman, knowing with this version of his little sister things could be a lot worst. Without her, the Justice League could have been down several members and Starling left defenseless. "But what are you doing here?"

"I needed to get out," Accord said. "A version of my cousin Rach, from what you call New Justice, showed up a few weeks ago." Kara and Barry looked at them. Rae had gone to Accord's world. "She kind of stirred things up with her history of events. People are a little upset so I decided to get out and give your vigilantes powers." Accord turned to Paula as she said it. "If you want it?"

"What? Powers?" Paula looked confused

"Accord…" Kara now groaned. She had given Cisco his power and even though SuperEarth's Jesse had taught him how to use them, he still wasn't keen on it. Now wasn't the time to give Team Canary meta-human abilities.

"I'm a meta human who can give most humans meta abilities," Accord explained, almost bored. "So, what do you reckon?"

"Me?" Paula asked, pointing at herself in confusion now.

"Well Oliver is one of those people who do not have the genetics to have a power." Accord made a face at that. "Your William here's DNA is a little off, so I can't give him a power." Accord turned to Laurel. "You have so many…. amazing abilities, but I can't give you one right now. It would be risky. Catch me in ten months."

"What?" Laurel asked, not wanting an ability but found that one strange.

"I want a power," Jack spoke up, a smile on his face.

"No," Accord said, making Jack frown. "You're not ready. I have made the mistake of giving people too young powers before. Now I have an age limit. No one under twenty. So, Paula that leaves you."

"The doctor is back," Kara said, hearing for Thea's family being called. The group went back into the waiting room; Laurel took Oliver's arm as the doctor talked, telling them Thea was stable at the moment, but was in serious condition.

"I'm sorry, but we had to put her into a medically-induced coma," the doctor said after explaining her condition, "we don't know how long she's going to be in it. Her injuries were very serious." Oliver took a step backed, stunned, unsure of what to do or how to react. Laurel had tears in eyes as she hugged Oliver. He needed someone close at the moment. William took a seat, and Jack sat down as well.

Upon hearing this, Kara had tears in her eyes and Barry put his arms around her tearing up as well. "Anything she needs, if insurance doesn't cover it, just let us know," Barry said after a moment, but also knew STAR Co provided pretty good insurance. Maybe he could look into Palmer Tech and see if any of their medical breakthroughs would help Thea.

Paula stood, stunned for a moment before punching a wall. "You!" she said to Accord, who hadn't reacted to the news. She took Accord's arm and dragged her back out where they could talk privately. "What can I have?"

"Are you sure?" Accord asked. "You're a little…"

"We were not enough. Darkseid would have killed us all. To face him we need more. What can I have?" Paula asked. Thea was her best friend, she had been there for her since she had joined the team. She had become almost like another sister, and now Paula almost lost her as well as Helena. Paula could not lose another sister. She needed to find a way to fight against this monster they faced, and this seemed the way.

"Well, your main power is the ability to make and summon weapons. Take any object. Any ordinary object and make it any weapon you can imagine. You would need to know the weapon well if it's something complicated," Accord explained. "You have a couple others. They are deep. Would be hard to mutate. One is very defensive…."

"Give me my main one," Paula said, as Kara and Barry came out.

"Are you sure?" Kara said. It had been hard not to notice Paula dragging Accord off after the news about Thea and they wanted to make sure Paula didn't do something she regret.

"I like weapons," Paula said, eyes on Accord, determined.

"Okay," Accord said, not needing any more permission than that. She had given Cisco his power simply out of interest, this time she was being given permission. Accord put a hand on Paula's head and instantly saw the possibilities, every fraction of meta ability her DNA had, but the common one was the easiest to find as she pulled it to the surface, and connected it to every fiber of Paula's body. It was easy.

Paula felt dizzy for a moment, having to hold on to Accord, but then was fine. "It's yours." Accord muttered. "Now… if you excuse me, I got a me to meet." A blue portal opened and Accord was gone.

We are very lucky no one saw that, Kara thought, looking around as Paula walked back into the hospital. What do we do now? Darkseid has killed Jax and now…

Thea is not dead, Barry cut off Kara's thought. She's a strong one. She will get through this. As for what we do now… Darkseid has been attacking military bases all over the country. Digging for something. It's only a matter of time before we run into him again. We need to find Doctor Fate. Figure out what trusting the bonds mean. Until then, we warn everyone to only engage Darkseid if needed. And make it quick and fast. In and out. Do not try to defeat him.

Agreed, Kara thought as they both knew they needed to go home and be with their girls. They had to leave Team Canary to deal with this in their own way. Laurel had Oliver at least, they saw. She was comforting him, reassuring him Thea would be fine.

They had to inform the rest of the League they were one more member down though, as they faced their most powerful foe yet. Hopefully their last big foe…

Post Chapter Note: Well I hope you enjoy. Before my Facebookers say I lied, when I gave you clues on death. I did not. Thea is not dead. She's in a coma.
