Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Kara's Apartment-Kara's bedroom
Situation: Marcellus attacks and violates Kara
Marcellus (laying down beside Kara in bed): You are an angel. We are reunited at last.
Kara (startled): Marcellus
Marcellus (forcing himself on Kara): You are so sexy
Kara (kicking and yelling): Get Off Me!
Marcellus (restraining Kara): You are mine now and forevermore
Kara (resisting Marcellus): Don't touch me
Marcellus (violating Kara and possibly impregnating her): I guess you like it rough
Kara (crying, bleeding, screaming): AHA...AHA...AHA
(The flashback ends)
Kara's p.o.v
"The test is blue!" shocked, I exclaim from within the bathroom. "What does that mean?" panicky,
Marcellus asks running into the bathroom. I am pregnant, these words turn our world upside down.
We never expected for a pregnancy to happen so soon because we have just reconciled. I am not
ready to stop being Super Girl. Marcel holds me close and long as I cry over my lost future. My
house protects us against the cruel outside world.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Icarus' conception
Kara's p.o.v
He was a rainbow, for better or worse. Three people lived inside his mind. He was a self-proclaimed Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, and Christian. Coldhearted, he painted my face black and blue. I should've never granted this monster access to my house and life.
Kara's p.o.v
Severe morning sickness stopped me from going to work or The DEO today. Kat, Alex, and Hank understood that I was feeling unwell. I kept it a secret that my former lover and current coworker, Marcellus raped me. Like a snake, he had crawled his way back into my life.
Time Period: A flashback
Place: A Doctor's office
Situation: Kara discovers how far along she is in her pregnancy
Doctor (putting Kara in the stirrups): I'm putting your feet in the stirrups
Kara (nervous and anxious): ok
Doctor (performing an internal examination): I am checking to see how far along you are
Kara (in pain): Ouch! I'm still sore down there. Please be gentle with me.
Doctor: I understand, but its not normal for you to be in pain after the baby has been conceived
Kara: The baby's conception was unnatural and extremely painful
(Sarah's due dates are all over the place. There is a chance that Marcellus is the father. She takes a home pregnancy test in front of Marcellus. Marcellus threatens to destroy Kara's home planet or kill Alex if she aborts the baby.)
Marcellus' p.o.v
"You are Cat Grant's assistant. Will you be able to handle your duties today?" I ask my coworker
and girlfriend in the elevator. She has been dealing with severe morning sickness. We haven't told
anyone about the baby. "I am fine" Kara smiles hoping I will get off her case. My eyes keep on
wandering to her small baby bump.
Marcellus' p.o.v
"You are Cat Grant's assistant. Will you be able to handle your duties today?" I ask my coworker
and girlfriend in the elevator. She has been dealing with severe morning sickness. We haven't told
anyone about the baby. "I am fine" Kara smiles hoping I will get off her case. My eyes keep on
wandering to her small baby bump.
Kara's p.o.v
"You have gained weight!" Ms. Grant points out. "Really? I haven't noticed" I deny trying to hide my
growing belly. Thankfully, Marcel distracts Ms. Grant. Intelligent, she is not easily fooled. "You and
Marcel are expecting a baby" she concludes. We decide to come clean at last. She has the audacity
to embarrass us in front of our coworkers. I beg Winn and James to not tell Alex or Hank about the
baby. They swear to keep silent.
Kara's p.o.v
Marcel' p.o.v
"They are going to make me have an abortion" Kara stresses during the car ride to the DEO
after work. She is in such disarray that she starts shaking and feeling lightheaded when she stands
before Alex and Hank. She experiences light bleeding that is followed by a fainting spell.
Kara's p.o.v
"Kara..Kara..Kara" a male and female voice calls out to me. Their voices wash over me like tidal
waves. I wake up and my parents hug and kiss me. We are back on our home planet. My bedroom
still looks the same except for there are kids toys on the floor. "Mom and dad, what happened to
me? Why are there kids toys in my bedroom?" I ask them. They are quiet until Clark,
Marcel, and a biracial boy with Down syndrome enter the room. "Icarus, put your toys away
before your mother has another fit" Marcel instructs the child. Obediently, the child puts his
toys into a treasure chest. Clark helps him out some. Tears come to my eyes when I realize
Icarus is my son. I am currently pregnant with him. "You will have a son named Icarus Marley
Danvers Heartwood. He will have down syndrome" mother prophecies rubbing my stomach.
"It's kinda of like that old Greek mythology story. I recall the protagonist's name was Icarus" I
reminiscence. "Someday you will understand how special your son truly is" father promises
rocking me back to sleep. My unborn son's beating heart revives me.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Hank discovers Kara is pregnant
Hank's p.o.v
Kara felt lightheaded and fainted before Alex and me. While Alex examined Kara, I went through
a long list of possible illnesses in my mind. Kara's boyfriend, Marcellus was awfully quiet. I
wondered if he was hiding something from me.
Alex's p.o.v
"You are going to be a mom" I announce showing the baby's sonogram to Kara at the infirmity. "I
already knew I was pregnant" Kara confesses. I am at a loss for words. I am livid because she didn't
tell me about her pregnancy beforehand. She assumed I would've pressured her to have an abortion. The opposite happens as a matter of fact. Marcel and I support her decision to keep the
baby. Hank disagrees with us on numerous levels. He has three major concerns. First, Kara can't
save the world anymore as Super Girl. Second, she will not be able to survive through the pregnancy
or childbirth. Third, the baby will be born with serious deformities such as Down Syndrome.
Kara is considerate of Hanks' feelings, but she still keeps a hopeful outlook.
Marcel's p.o.v
Under strict supervision, Kara stays in the infirmity overnight. The DEO and
I save the world on her behalf. While flying around National City, I spot a
a wounded pregnant Husky dog. She is on the brink of death. After much
begging, Hank and Alex allow me to keep her. They view the dog as an
opportunity for me to practice being a father. Besides being a super hero,
I am a healer. I nurture the dog whom I call Fluffy back into perfect
good shape. I offer Fluffy to Kara as a gift. They are both expectant
mothers so they bond instantly.
Time Period: A Flashback- Nighttime
Place: Alex's apartment
Situation: Post Kara's rape and pregnancy announcement
Kara (laying down on Alex's bed, she stares up at the ceiling): This pregnancy is mistake especially after I have been violated. Should I kill myself or the child?
Alex (pleading with Kara): I understand you have been through a horrible trauma. Please don't kill yourself.
Kara (rubbing her stomach): I will have an abortion then
Alex (choked up): I will provide the best accommodations for you at the DEO
Kara: I can see how much you care for the baby. I apologize for crushing your hopes and dreams about becoming an aunt.
Alex: It is your body and choice. I am here for moral support.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe
Place: Kara's hospital room inside the DEO
Situation: Kara's medical abortion
Alex (entering the room): Has the pill started to kick in yet?
Kara (touching her stomach): No. I am still pregnant unfortunately.
Alex: Maybe it is a sign
Kara: What do you mean?
Alex: The baby is meant to exist
Kara: The first pill isn't working. I need a second one.
Alex (giving Kara a second pill and water): Are you sure you want to do this?
Kara (choked up): Yes
Alex: Hank and I support you. Brainiac and Dream are saving the world in your absence.
Kara: I feel so vulnerable. I want to go home. I want to have the abortion in peace and quiet.
Alex: I remember you said Marcellus would kill you if you aborted the baby. You will be safe here at the Deo.
Time Period: A Flashback- An Alternate Universe
Place: The Deo- Kara's hospital recovery room
Situation: Kara's medicated abortion
Alex (checking on Kara): How are you feeling?
Kara (nauseous, she runs to the bathroom): I am crampy and nauseous
Alex: ok
Kara (yelling from within the bathroom): Alex, I am bleeding
Alex (running into the bathroom): Besides cramps and nausea, bleeding is also a side effect.
Kara (discarding the rest of the baby's remnants): My baby is officially dead
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Kara's personal private room inside The DEO
Situation: Kara realizes she is stuck with the baby that she has trying to abort all day
Alex (entering the room): What is your current status?
Kara (feeling defeated, she rests on the bed): The baby is still alive. My body has failed to abort it.
Alex (sitting down at Kara's bedside): I don't know if your pregnancy is a good or bad thing. It depends on how you feel about it. Should I hold off on the congratulations?
Kara: I accept your congratulations. I don't love the baby, but I will tolerate it.
Alex: There is always adoption
Kara: Adoption is a messy process. I would prefer to keep the baby.
Time Period: A Flashback-A Time Before the birth
Scenario: Kara deals with a pregnancy crisis
Place: The Deo-the infirmity
Marcellus (somber, he carries an unconscious and wounded Supergirl aka Kara into the infirmity): Kara was attacked
Alex and Hank (rushing to Kara's aid): What happened?
Marcellus (fighting back tears): The suspect stabbed her in the stomach
Alex (performing an ultrasound test): I must check on the fetus
Hank: The fetus is probably dead
Marcellus (shouting): Hank, how can you be so cruel?
Kara (disoriented, she begins waking up): How is the fetus?
Alex (trying to detect the fetal heartbeat): I am having trouble with detecting the heartbeat
Kara (emotional): Try again please
Alex (finally hearing the fetus heartbeat): The fetus is alive. It's a miracle.
(The Flashback ends)
Kara's p.o.v
In active labor, Fluffy paces around my condo that I share with Marcel. Fluffy's pain lets me know what to expect when Icarus comes. Although gender doesn't matter, Marcel looks forward to having a son that has Down syndrome. Spontaneous, my pregnancy has progressed so fast that I am almost close to the finish line. Occasionally, Icarus will do somersaults inside me. His energetic spirit delights us. Restless, Marcel and I work together to nurture Fluffy's six puppies in the meantime. We keep Fluffy's daughter named Faith for ourselves. We give away all of the rest.
Kara's p.o.v
Painful contractions jolt me awake in bed. Icarus is more restless than ever before. Marcel is kind enough to join me for a nice hot bath where my water breaks. He massages
my shoulders and time the contractions. He helps me to prepare for the hospital afterwards. We drive to the hospital and so I thought. I don't know where we are going
because I am wearing a blindfold. Surprisingly, Alex and Hank built me a birthing room at the DEO. Alex serves as my midwife. She keeps Marcel updated from time to time.
My cervix stays stuck at three centimeters. I spend the next two days here awaiting Icarus' arrival.
Time Period: Btw 11:59 (12/19) and 12:00 (12/20)
Place: A Birthing Center at the Deo
Event: Icarus' birth
Alex's p.o.v
"I have to push" Kara alerts me between 11:59 pm and 12:00 am. I check Kara and conclude she
is ten centimeters dilated. I sacrifice my beauty sleep for her long pushing marathon.
Time Period: A Flashback-a time between 12/19 (11:59) and 12/20 (12:00)
Kara's p.o.v
"The baby is coming. I have to push" I alert my sleeping sister. "You interrupted my eternal beauty
sleep" Alex jokes around with me. "Oh Alex" I moan grabbing ahold of her. "I know it hurts. You
are probably fully dilated but let me check you first" Alex comforts me. She examines my lady
parts and I let out a big scream. "You can push with the next contraction" she instructs me. My
son's life begins wherever my life leaves off.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: The DEO- A Birthing Center
Alex (checking Kara): You are five centimeters dilated
Kara (heavily pregnant, she rests in the bed): I am not making any progress.
Alex: You are making progress. You will be fully dilated and ready to push before you know it.
Kara (rubbing her stomach): I love him, but he deserves a better mom.
Alex (shocked): Why?
Kara (whispering): I was raped
Day 2: Labor
Still in labor, I travel between bed and the bathroom where I vomit. Alex doesn't mind taking a bath with me or massaging my shoulders. Frightened by my screams, Marcel
checks up on me constantly. My cervix dilates to seven centimeters, but remains stuck there.
Kara's p.o.v
"Alex, I must stretch. Please get me out of this bed" I request. Carefully, Alex helps me out of the bed. We walk out onto the balcony where we observe the stars. Alex massages my shoulders. We practice random breathing exercises together. One peculiar star captures my attention. It provides a power source for my unborn baby.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: A birthing center inside the DEO
Situation: Kara's long labor and pushing marathon
Kara (resting in the bed, she pants): Alex
Alex (rubbing Kara's stomach): Do you need to push again?
Kara (struggling through contractions): Yes
Alex (helping Kara to the floor): Lets try squatting
Kara (pushing and squatting): GRR..AHA..AHA..AHA
Alex (counting as she holds Kara from behind): 1...2..3..4...5..
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: A Birthing Center inside The Deo
Special Event: Icarus' birth
Kara (exhausted from pushing): Please come out, baby
Alex (waiting for the baby to start crowning): You have been pushing for a long time. The baby hasn't crowned yet. Please don't give up.
Kara (having contractions again, she pushes with all her strength): GRR..AHA..AHA..AHA
Alex (cheering on Kara): GO KARA!
Kara (still pushing): AHA...AHA...AHA
Alex (applying pressure to Kara's stomach): 1..2..3..4..5
Kara (trying to catch her breath): Do you see the head?
Alex: No
Kara: What is taking so long?
Alex (making a small incision into Kara): I am performing an episiotomy. An episiotomy is a small incision into the vagina that will help to release the baby.
Day 3: Labor and Delivery
My cervix has finally dilated to ten centimeters today. Icarus longs to embrace the outside world.
The long and difficult labor has worn me out. I fear I won't be strong enough to endure childbirth.
"Bear down, Kara, push harder" Alex instructs me. "I can't do this" I sob into Marcel's arms. He
provides extra body support for me. He holds me tight while I bring forth our son. My
screams put the fear of God inside him. An eternity passes before Icarus starts crowning.
Desperately and carefully, Alex forces him out of my body. "There are bumps on Icarus' back"
Alex points out to me. "He was born with wings" Marcel reveals to us.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: The DEO-A Birthing Room
Special Event: Icarus' birth
Alex (timing Kara's contractions): You are having contractions. Remember to breathe.
Kara (talking through the painful contractions): Whenever will my suffering end?
Alex (checking Kara's cervix): You are dilated ten centimeters at last. You can push now.
Kara (exhausted from undergoing three days of long and hard labor): I am not strong enough. I am going to die.
Alex (runs out into the hallway to get Marcellus): Kara is fully dilated! She needs you asap!
Marcellus (rushes to Kara's bedside): Here I am, honey
Kara (clutches her stomach): Our son is coming
Marcellus (touching Kara's stomach): It won't be long now
Kara (grunting, screaming, and crying as she pushes): GRR...GRR...AHA..AHA..AHA
Marcellus (providing Kara with extra body support): You got this, honey
Kara (quickly becoming exhausted, she rests her head on Marcellus' chest): This baby will be the death of me
Alex (adding pressure to Kara's stomach): You are not going to die. This baby will come out eventually.
Kara (trying to push the baby out again): AHA..AHA...AHA
Alex and Marcellus (shouting): Bear down, Kara, push harder
Kara (rubbing her stomach): The baby is coming, perhaps crowning. I can feel it moving down the birth canal.
Alex (witnessing the baby crown): Here comes my nephew
Kara: If anything bad happens, please save the baby
Alex (instructing Kara): Push, Kara, bear down
Kara (crying and screaming as she begins to push): AHA..AHA...AHA..AHA
Marcellus (a little concerned): Is the baby crowning yet?
Alex: No
Kara (still crying and screaming): AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA
Marcellus (gives Kara extra body support): I got you, sweetie
Kara (pushes with extra force and determination): AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA
Alex: I see the baby's head
Kara (begging Alex): GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!
Alex (carefully, she pulls the baby out of Kara): Icarus is here. There are bumps on his back.
Marcellus: He was born with wings
Kara (reaching out to touch Icarus): Let me hold Icarus
Alex (places Icarus in Kara's arms): He is all yours
Kara (cuddling Icarus very tightly): I love you, my son
Time Period: A Flashback
Date: December 20
Place: A birthing room inside the Deo
Special Event: Icarus' birth
Kara's p.o.v
Bloody and yet beautiful, Icarus came out of my body. Alex, who served as my midwife, cut the umbilical cord. I was given an opportunity to hold and breastfeed my son for the first time. We formed an instant bond. Alex and I noticed that there were bumps on his back. "Icarus was born with wings" Marcellus revealed.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Kara's death
Place: A Birthing Center in The DEO
Hank's p.o.v
She pulled me down to her level. Even in her dying state, she held onto me for as long as she could.
"I love you. You have been like a father to me" she confessed breaking my heart. "Please don't die" I
pleaded with her. She shifted her focus from me to her crying newborn son. "Please let me see and
hold my son" she requested to Alex. A somber Alex placed the crying babe in her arms. She closed
her eyes, perhaps to take a nap. Alex and I prepared to leave the room. We wanted her to have
alone time with her son. Alex's conscience said to check for a pulse. Kara had lost so much blood
and energy that her body just simply shut down. Kara's ascension and my descent into madness
happened in slow motion like a movie.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Icarus' birth and Kara's death
Alex's p.o.v
She stretched and pushed herself to the point of exhaustion. She risked everything including her own life for her son. She didn't have a strong grip on him.
Situation: Right after Icarus' birth
Alex's p.o.v
I prepared for the birth well beforehand, but I felt nauseous afterwards. I bet Kara, Hank, and Marcel
heard me vomiting in the bathroom. Who knew being my sister's midwife would take a huge toll on
me? Kara was dead so there was no reason for Marcel to stick around. Between Kara's ascension
and Hank's chaotic behavior, I felt overwhelmed. I decided to take care of Icarus all by myself.
Time Period: A Flashback Post Icarus' birth
Place: A nursery inside the DEO
Alex's p.o.v
I have been singing and rocking my newborn nephew to sleep. Quietly, Hank enters the nursery so he doesn't wake up Icarus. "I apologize for acting crazy earlier" he whispers. "I forgive you. I understand that you were hurting and needed an outlet to express your grief over Kara's passing" I sympathize. "You have two choices here. You can keep and raise Icarus or give him away" Hank reminds me. "Kara would've wanted me to keep Icarus and raise him. I have always wanted to be a mother. This is my chance to be a mother" I confide in Hank.
Place: Alex's apartment
Alex's p.o.v
Today is December nineteenth. December nineteenth holds special meaning for me. I have set aside tonight to reflect and remember Kara. She actually died on December 20, but everything started to go downhill for us on December 19. I have created a candlelight visual in honor of Kara.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Lois and Clarke's house- Baby Jonathan's Nursery
Situation: Kara is taking care of her baby cousin Jonathan
Kara's p.o.v
Gently and carefully, I place Jonathan down on the changing table. Jonathan cooing makes me laugh. "Please lay still, Jonathan. I am going to change your diaper" I instruct my cousin. I never expected for him to pee in my face.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe
Place: Lois and Clark's House-The Nursery
Kara's p.o.v
"You are just so cute" I compliment my baby cousin Jonathan. I am rocking him to sleep.
Jonathan cooes in which makes me laugh. I wonder if Alex and my son have a close bond. Alex has
taken care of him in my absence. I had died giving birth to him. Anyhow, my singing draws Lois and
Clark to the nursery. Carefully, I place Jonathan into Lois' arms. "Thanks, Kara" Lois smiles. "If you
are desperate for a baby then you should visit your son" Clark suggests.
Alex's p.o.v
Bored, Icarus spins around in a chair. It is my job to watch over him while his parents save the world. "I want my dad and mom. I miss them" my seven year old nephew
complains. "You will see them soon" I assure him. "I have wings. Do you want to see me fly?" excited, he asks showing off his wings. "Not now" I sigh trying to hold back
my frustration. The DEO is no place for foolish child's play. "She's like the wind. She has no time" Hank whispers to me. "I wish she could take care of her child for once" I vent.
Kara's p.o.v
Exhausted, I head straight for the couch in the den. Marcel gets lost in the news. We almost forgot
about our son. Icarus rests his head on my shoulder. "I am sorry for making you wait" I apologize
stroking his hair. "It's ok" he smiles as attempt to hide his true feelings. "You will have another
flying lesson tomorrow" Marcel promises Icarus. Icarus goes to bed with his head stuck in
the clouds.
Marcel's p.o.v
She is stuck in the maze of my strange and beautiful mind. "Marcel!" panicky, she yells running
around the labyrinth that I built. "Here I am" I smirk tapping Kara's shoulder. Relieved, Kara throws
her arms around me. Kara kisses me as if we will never see each other again. The wind whispers
of days future past. Once again, I am reunited with my former self whose name is Daedalus.
Time Period: A Dream
Barry Allen's p.o.v
I catch my friend and Kara's beau, Marcellus aka Daedalus at the beach. I recall his son drowned
in these same waters a long time ago. Daedalus calls on me whenever he is feeling depressed. He
wants me to provide comfort for him, especially during these times when Icarus weighs heavy on
his mind. Our meeting feels real and yet it's only just a dream.
Time Period: Reality
Barry's p.o.v
Sensing Daedalus may need a friend, my time portal merges with his world. He has trapped me in
a neverending maze. My arrival takes Kara and Daedalus by surprise. "You are not suppose to
come if there is really trouble" Kara teases me. "I sensed my friend needed me" I confess. "I
never knew you were friends with Marcellus aka Daedalus" she points out. "After Icarus drowned,
I flew to Italy. I discovered a time portal in Italy. The time portal took me to Barry's town
where I resided as Marcellus Heartwood. Barry and I became fast good friends. From there,
I traveled to your planet" Daedalus recounts. "I don't understand why you didn't go back to Crete
and search for Icarus. He could've survived the drowning. What happened to his mother?" Kara
wonders. "I assumed Icarus was dead. He showed no signs of life. He never knew his
mother" emotional, Daedalus explains. Deafening silence accompanies us to the DEO where
I meet Icarus' namesake for the first time. I grow quite fond of the lad, Icarus Danvers Heartwood.
Alex's p.o.v
"Daedalus and Icarus lived in Greece. Daedalus was well known for his architectural inventions in
which was a great testimony to his intellect. He created a labyrinth for Crete's King Minoas. The
labyrinth was meant to be a prison for an extremely violent monster called The Minotaur. The
Minotaur was a half man and bull. The labyrinth protected Crete against the Minotaur" Kara reads
to Icarus and me. "Please read on" intrigued, we urge Kara. "A young warrior destroyed the Minotaur
eventually. Daedalus aided this young warrior in secret. The young warrior fled from Crete with the
king's daughter. Daedalus was caught and imprisoned with Icarus in a high tower of the palace"
Kara continues reading. "Please don't read the next part" Marcel aka Daedalus begs Kara. Kara
rejects his request. "Daedalus created two pair of wax wings for Icarus and himself. He warned
Icarus not to fly too low near the ocean or too high near the sun. Rebellious, Icarus disobeyed
his father. His wings were torn apart. He drowned in the ocean. With a broken heart, Daedalus
flew on to freedom, Italy" Kara discloses.
Kara's p.o.v
"You are lucky because you were born with wings" Elijah teases Icarus over dinner. "I can't fly unless
I have my parents' permission first" Icarus responds. "Now that I am alive, you can create a pair
of wax wings for me. I want to fight the bad guys " Elijah pressures Marcellus. "You are better off
helping Alex and Hank. You can watch over Icarus in my absence" Marcellus argues.I can't believe I
have the real Icarus here in my presence. He found us all thanks to Barry's time
portal. It's dejavu for Marcellus aka Daedalus all over again. He still feels guilty for abandoning
Elijah. Elijah has forgiven him though. He had wanted his father to move forward. Elijah looks at me
with sad puppy dog eyes. He expects for me to change Marcellus'mind. I decide to support my
husband. Fluffy's full grown daughter, Faith nudges Elijah from underneath the table. Her presence
makes him happy. Gently, he rubs her soft fur.
Marcellus' p.o.v
"Dad, I thought we found my mom. Why did you take me away from her?" Elijah complains in the
time portal. Barry created this time portal for us. Our final destination is our homeland Crete. "Your
mother's name was Carolyn. She had porcelain skin. She had chocolate brown hair. Her eyes
resembled the ocean. She is not Kara Danvers. I chose you over Kara and Icarus because you
wanted a better relationship with me" I reveal. Sensing Elijah may need a mother, I send us to
a time period where Carolyn is alive. Kara's doppelganger embraces us with open arms.
Kara's p.o.v
Speechless, I absorb Marcellus' afterglow. The wind and grass whisper his name. "Mommy, why did
daddy have to leave us?" Icarus sobs. "Better opportunities awaited him" I explain to my child.
"Marcellus wanted to spend more time with Elijah" Barry clarifies. "I hate you for creating the
time portal" I yell pushing him to the ground.

Mon-El (restraining Icarus): Settle down, buddy
Icarus (resisting Mon-el): I want to die
Mon-El (taken aback): You have so much to live for. Why do you want to die so badly?
Icarus: I am the Black sheep of the family. Everything is my fault.
Mon-el: I know the world has been unkind to you. I refuse to let you kill yourself.
(Ignoring and avoiding Mon-el, Icarus keeps on creating chaos. Out of fear for his personal safety, Mon-El calls in reinforcements, Alex and Hank. Alex and Hank try to save Icarus from himself. Distraught, Luna and Kara watch on from afar as Icarus is "put down". )
Icarus' p.o.v
Tired, I allow myself to get carried away by waves. I absorb the warmth of the sun. Mom interrupts
my peaceful deep sleep. She assumes I wanted to kill myself.
Time Period: An Alternate Universe-A Dream and Possible Reality
Place: Kara's home planet and childhood home
Kara's p.o.v
I catch my teenage son observing the stars outside on the balcony. "What is it about the stars that
intrigue you?" I ask Icarus. "Our fate is sealed in the stars. Do we become stars after we die?" my
son wonders. "You only live once. You should enjoy your youth and worry about old age or death" I
advise him. "Excuse me" Icarus pardons himself. He flies away carrying a piece of me with him.
He promises to be back home for dinner.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Situation: Icarus' final disappearing act- Kara's archenemy Reign has brutally attacked Icarus
Kara's p.o.v.
Divine, he was a boy who fell from the sky and loved me. One deeply troubled rogue plagued
his existence. As of this present moment, he is coughing up blood and shaking violently in my
arms. His hand rests gently on my cheek. He is the weak one, but I am feeling disoriented.
Place: Midvale-Alex and Kara's childhood home
Icarus' p.o.v
Weakly, I knock on my grandma's front door. Grandma opens the door and I collapse into her arms.
When I awake, I find myself in my mother's old bedroom. Reign is sitting at my bedside. She has
my grandma somewhere tied up in the house.
Time Period: A Flashback-A Day of Kara's home planet destruction
Place: A Laboratory
Reign's p.o.v
"You must find him" my master and creator instructs me. "Who is him?" I ask Kara's dad. "His name
is Icarus. Icarus is my grandson. He is crucial to your survival" his voice trails off. I leave him behind
in the fire.
Place: Kara's apartment
Alex's p.o.v
She said via text to come over. I unlock the door and darkness instead of my sister greets me.
Maybe she has changed her mind. Maybe she decided to hunt down Icarus.
Place: A Flashback an abandoned warehouse
Situation: Icarus has set himself on fire by accident
Kara's p.o.v
"I am on fire. Someone help me please" Icarus cries. Alex and Hank use water hoses to distinguish
the flames. I interlock arms with him. He feels safe in my warm embrace. I throw him into a nearby
river.
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: Kara's wake and funeral at a church
Hank's p.o.v
Both Kara's wake and funeral were jam packed. Numerous tales of Kara's many acts of kindness
warmed my heart. One particular female guest captured my attention at the reception. A black
cape shielded her dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes. I was taken aback for she resembled
kara. I wondered if she was Kara's ghost or spirit. "My name is Melissa Taylor. Kara was my
friend. I am sorry for your loss" the pretty young lady begins and ends our meeting. Melissa
leaves me at a loss for words.
Place: The DEO
Icarus' p.o.v
"I must see him. Where is he?" a pretty dark-haired woman yells among the busy bees. "Here he is.
His name is Icarus" Alex states showing me off. The woman shakes my hand. "Hello, Icarus. My
name is Lena Luther. Your mom was my friend" the woman introduces herself.
Alex's p.o.v
"Icarus, you can go on and finish working" I dismiss my nephew. Jolly, he returns to his work
station. '"He has her eyes, heart, and strength" Lena points out.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: The DEO-Hank's private study room
Hank's p.o.v
Iracus flies into my private study room. His eyes, Kara's eyes, gives me goosebumps. "My eighteenth
birthday is coming up. You said you would train me when I turned eighteen" he reminds me. "I
will not be able to train you. I have a prior commitment" I lie.
Icarus' p.o.v
Feeling bored or let down by Hank, I visit a local favorite hangout place for aliens and other celestial
beings. I keep myself busy with playing chess. A young woman, wearing a black cape, challenges
me to a match. Melissa Taylor is her name. I call her Mel for short.
Place: The Fortress of Solitude
Kara's p.o.v
"Hello Cousin" Clark addresses me. "Even now you are my saving grace" I compliment him. "How
long is your charade is going to last? he wonders. "I am not playing anyone" I lie. "You are alive but
you will not reveal yourself" Clark exposes me. "I am a celestrial being. I am a ghost. I am a
hologram of my former self" I explain.
Kara's p.o.v continued
I can sense that Icarus is in trouble. I trade in my fortress of solitude for the mortal world. My heart
bleeds for Icarus who is underattack. Thieves are trying to cut off his wings. I am like nobody
messes around with my baby.
Icarus' p.o.v
I give my guardian angel aka Melissa a real tight bear hug. "Mel, I thank you for saving my life" I
thank her. "You are welcome, sweetie" Melissa smiles. She accompanies me to a nearby gift
shop. A pair of beautiful shoes capture my attention. "Christmas is coming up soon. I haven't
brought anything for my Aunt Alex yet. My mother died in childbirth five days before Christmas.
Alex has been raising me. She loves to dance sometimes. Should I buy these shoes for her?"
I share with Melissa.
Icarus' p.o.v
"If your aunt loves to dance then you should buy the shoes for her" Melissa suggests. "I will buy the
shoes for Alex then" I agree. I stood behind an elderly woman in line. She sensed my excitement
and urgency to go home. She allowed me to check out my purchases first. "You surely do have a
way with people. Maybe you got it from me or Alex" Melissa teases me outside. "You are my
mother and I am your son" I joke around with her.
Icarus' p.o.v
Unexpectedly, our eyes meet and our worlds collide. "You have given me goosebumps" Aunt Alex
teases me. "I am my mother's legacey" I remind her. "You have brought home a friend. She looks
very familiar" Aunt Alex observes. "My name is Melissa Taylor. You can call me Mel for short"
Melissa introduces herself as she shakes Alex's hand. Alex grabs ahold of Melissa very tightly.
"OH Kara" Alex's voice trails off.
Time Period: A Flashback
Time Period: The Present Reality
"I am not Kara" I lie hoping Alex would get off my case. "You are Kara. Please come out of hiding"
Alex demands. "Her name is Melissa. She is not your sister Alex" Icarus argues. "You never knew
your mother. She died in childbirth. I knew my sister. I remember what she looked like. Melissa
is Kara" Alex stresses. "I am indeed Kara. I apologize for lying about my true identity" I confess.
Kara's p.o.v
Shocked, Icarus sits down on the couch. He puts his face in his hands. "Dad abandoned me soon
after you died. He couldn't find a reason to stay. Aunt Alex has been taking care of me in
your and his absence. I can't believe you have been alive all along" Icarus vents.
Kara's p.o.v
"It wasn't your fault that I died. I sacrificed my life for you. It wasn't your fault that your dad went
elsewhere" I stress squeezing Icarus' hand. "I want to believe you but I can't right now" Icarus
admits pulling at my heart strings. "I should've given you to a different family. I decided to keep you.
You are like a son to me" Alex reminds him.
Place: The DEO Headquarters
Kara's p.o.v
Before I can confess, Alex reveals my true identity to Hank. Hank becomes emotional immediately.
He hugs and kisses me as if I am his long lost daughter. "It is so weird that I have been gone for a
day, but it has been an eternity for you" I mention. "You died in childbirth. We had a memorial
service for you" Hank recalls. "The baby wasn't my kryptonite. Kryptonite can and will kill me
eventually but now" I assure him.
Kara's p.o.v
I wanted to explain everything to Hank, but Icarus distracted me. I followed my son up to the
rooftop. My presence startled and frightened him. "We can observe the stars together" he
invited me. "You are such a sweetheart. I accept your invitation" I thanked him. "If you look
straight ahead, you will see a bright shining golden star. This star came into existence
around the same time as my birth" Icarus pointed out. "During my long and difficult
labor with you, Alex stepped outside briefly. She mentioned something about seeing
a bright shining golden star" I recalled.
Kara's p.o.v
Suddenly, Icarus felt lightheaded and then fainted in my arms. I tried my best to resuscitate him.
He still didn't wake up despite my hard work. Alex and Hank heard my loud intense sobs and
screams. They rushed to help Icarus. They performed numerous various tests on him.
Later on, I discovered the star was his power source.
Icarus' p.o.v
"Please wake up, Icarus" a woman weeps and prays at my bedside. I open my eyes and my
mother's sorrow turns into joy. "I love you so much" my mother admits hugging me. "I didn't
die. I lost a connection to my power source" I remind her.
Time Period: A Flashback
Time Period: The Present Reality
Icarus follows me out onto the balcony. "Now that you have your mom, you don't need me anymore" I assume. "You will always be my aunt and second mom" he assures me.
Place: A Club
Alex's p.o.v
Her ghost so called "mini me" catches up with me at a bar. His wings almost hit my face. "You need to put a protective covering on your wings. They almost hit my face" I highly recommend. "I can't make them stay down" Icarus complains. "Unbelievable" I sigh rolling my eyes. "Aunt Alex, you don't need alcohol. You already have my love" Icarus remarks.
Place: A Club
Kara's p.o.v
I enter the club and discover Alex and Icarus chatting at the bar. I interrupt their sweet bonding moment. "Alcohol is not good for your system" I remind my son. "I didn't buy or drink any alcohol" Icarus assures me. "I have fallen off the wagon again. Icarus saved me" Alex admits.
Place: The Apartment-The back deck
Kara's p.o.v
I can't sleep, therefore I observe the stars and moon outside. My former lover, Mon-el blocks my
view of the heavens especially my home planet. "You are not my lover anymore. Saturn Girl is your
wife" I remind him.
Kara's p.o.v continued
Mon-el and I were busy with catching up when a flying golden scepter interrupted us. I was its
main target. Mon-el protected me against the ray beams. Icarus and his female friend Courtney
stormed into my apartment. Courtney grabbed ahold of the staff in which I assume belonged to her.
Courtney's p.o.v
"Ms. Kara, I am so sorry. This cosmic staff belongs to me" I excused myself. "Court.. Star Girl..what
brings you to my apartment? she kindly asked me. "Ms. Kara, I am here to recruit you" I informed
her. Her pretty blue eyes grew big with both excitement and concern. "Please tell me" she urged
me. "I am here to recruit you to the Justice Team. My stepdad Pat and I need your help in defeating
the Injustice Team. Will you join us?" I presented before her.
Icarus' p.o.v
"Pat and I would greatly appreciate your help. Are you sure you don't want to join us?" Courtney pleads with mom again. "I thank you for your offer, but I am not interested. My final decision is no" Mom kindly rejects Courtney. "I understand" Courtney agrees. "You shouldn't put your life on hold for me. I give you permission to save the world" I persuade mom. "My answer is still no. Please accept my final decision, honey" Mom responds.
Monel's p.o.v
Indifferent, she bids me farewell. We are better off living separately. I aboard my spaceship carrying a dark secret. She doesn't know about our daughter Luna. "Daddy, where is mommy?" Luna asks as we travel back to our home planet. "Your mom has different plans for her life. She is absolutely not ready for you and me" I confess to my little princess.
Kara's p.o.v
I caught a brief glimpse of a cute little girl aboard Monel's spaceship. She resembled Monel and closed the door and flew off into the sunset before I could question him. If that little girl was my daughter then he wouldn't keep her a secret.
Kara's p.o.v
After a long work day, my family and I have a chance to relax back at the apartment. A tired Icarus heads straight for his bed. Alex and I drink wine as we travel down memory lane. Something inside makes me to pull out various old family photo albums. A picture of Monel, myself, and our daughter Luna conjures up memories that I buried long ago. Even now there is a weird sense of loss.
Place: The Deo- The War Room
Icarus' p.o.v
Lately, mom has been distant especially right now. "I have to go and save the world again. You must stay here at the Deo with Alex" mom instructs me. "You promised we could spend time together" I remind her.
Alex's p.o.v
My team and I became worried when we lost contact with Kara. She never returned back to the DEO. We assumed something terribly went wrong during her mission. I was totally caught off guard when she told me via text that she was at home. Although my team and I were disappointed, we were glad she was ok. Hank allowed Icarus and me to check on Kara. Kara ignored and avoided her son for the very first time.
Kara's p.o.v
"Please go to your bedroom" I order my son. Obediently, he honors my request. "Kara, you ended your mission abruptly. The team and I lost contact with you. We were worried that something bad happened to you. You have been acting out of character" Alex mentions. "I am sorry for leaving you and the team hanging. Today has been rough for me. Today marks the anniversary of my rape. The truth is I conceived Icarus out of rape. Marcellus raped and impregnated me. He threatened to destroy my home planet if I told the truth" I confess.
Time Period: The Present Reality- Nighttime
Place: Kara's apartment-The Rooftop
Icarus' p.o.v
Depressed, I stare out onto the endless sea of stars. My power source keeps on fading in and out of view. I am contemplating jumping off the roof. "Hello, Icarus. I knew I would find you here on the rooftop" my mom greets me. "You have been ignoring and avoiding me all day. You have never done this before" I mention to her. She takes my hand in her hand. "I apologize for ignoring and avoiding you. A bad thing happened to me in the past, but it is not your fault " she begins.
Kara's p.o.v
"What do you mean by something bad happened to you in the past and it is not my fault?" Icarus wonders. "I am tired" I yawn. Now is not the right time to tell him that he was never conceived in love. Icarus understands that I need my beauty sleep. I promise to continue our conversation tomorrow. He hugs and kisses me goodnight.
Time Period: The Present Day after work
Place: Kara's apartment
Kara (laying down on the couch): There is a strange sense of loss and hope
Alex (getting lost in the news): Are you referring to Icarus?
Kara: Yes. Is it really necessary that I tell him about my rape?
Alex: He deserves an answer as to why you have been distant
Kara's p.o.v
"Mom, you were raped. I am a product of your rape" Icarus breaks into our conversation. I thought he was still on the roof or fast asleep. "Please stay put and talk to Icarus" Alex whispers. "Your father raped me and impregnated me. Your life is not a mistake" I confess publicly for the first time.
Time Period: A Flashback (taking place at midnight)
Kara's p.o.v
Alex and Icarus are fast asleep in their warm cozy beds. Restless, I stand on the balcony and observe the stars in the night sky. I wish I knew why Icarus' power source which is a Super Nova Star is growing dim. I hear footsteps in the kitchen. I catch Icarus digging through the medicine cabinet. "Mom, my head hearts" Icarus complains. I give him Tylenol a kiss on his forehead. My son returns back to bed knowing that I love him. Oblivious to reality, I dismiss connection between Icarus' dying power source and his failing health.
Time Period: A Flashback
Event: Kara's labor with Icarus on December 19
Icarus' p.o.v.
She watches me sleep in which is quite frightening and disturbing. "Your power source is gradually fading to black. I wanted to make sure you didn't die in your sleep" mom explains. "I am alive and awake" I stress. "Ok, Jonathan" mom teases me. "I am your baby and not Jonathan" I remind her.
Place: The DEO
Icarus' p.o.v
Hank, Alex, mom, and me were discussing our game plane when Clark and his family appeared in the conference room. "Kara" five year old Jonathan squealed. Mom embraced Jonathan as if he was her child.
Kara's p.o.v
Alex and Hank allowed me to spend time with my cousins. My apartment wasn't big enough for Jonathan to play with his ball. Clark, Lois, and I agreed to take Jonathan to the park. "Please come and play with me" Jonathan requested to Icarus.
Kara's p.o.v continued
It warms my heart to see Icarus and Jonathan play with each other. "Jonathan deserves a sibling. You should give him a little brother or sister" I suggest to Lois and Clarke. There is a hint of sadness in Lois' ocean blue eyes. "Everything will be ok" Clark comforts her. "I am sorry if I touched on a sensitive subject for you" I apologize. "Kara, you did nothing wrong. Clark and I experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth last year. I was five months pregnant at the time. We were expecting a baby girl named Lark Cecily Kent" Lois confides in me.
Place: Kara's bedroom
Situation: While Alex and Icarus are sleeping, Kara discusses with Lois and Clark about keeping Icarus over Google Duo
Kara (choked up): Hello, Lois and Clark
Lois and Clark (over Google Duo): Hello, Cousin
Kara (fighting back tears): I need you to do a special favor for me
Clark (very concerned): What is the matter, Kara?
Kara (speaking through her tears): I can't take care of my son anymore. He deserves better.
Lois (shocked): OH KARA
Kara: I understand if you are shocked. This is how I feel though.
Lois: Clark and I understand where you are coming from
Clark (agreeing with Lois): Absolutely
Kara: Thanks. Your compassion means a lot to me.
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: DEO
Situation: Kara tells Alex that she must send Icarus away
Kara (flying into the control room after a long hard work day): I thank you for looking after Icarus
Alex: You are welcome
Icarus (hugging Kara): I had fun with Aunt Alex, but I missed you
Kara (lying): I missed you too
Alex (directing Kara to the conference room): We must talk
Kara: ok
Scene: The conference room
Alex: What is your problem with Icarus?
Kara: I don't understand your question
Alex: Your love for him is confusing and weird.
Kara: How so?
Alex: You have been pushing him away
Time Period: A Flashback
Place: Icarus' bedroom
Kara (heavyhearted, she enters the room): Hello baby
Icarus (looking up from his computer): Hello mom
Kara (fighting back tears): Would you have a problem with visiting Cousin Clark and his family in Smallville?
Icarus (thrilled): No
Kara: Alex is going to take you to Smallville. You should start packing asap.
Icarus: Why aren't you coming with us?
Kara (lying): I must save the world
Icarus (starting to pack): I understand
(A few hours later Alex comes by the house and Icarus bids his mom farewell. Only Alex and Kara know that Icarus will stay permanently with Clark and his family).
Place: Smallville- The Kent Family Farm
Alex's p.o.v
The time portal transports us to The Kent Family Farm in Smallville. Clark, Lois, and their teenage sons Jonathan and Jordan welcome us with open arms and hearts. "I know this is short notice, but I thank you for allowing Icarus to live with you and your family" I thank Clark. "What happened to Kara was sad. I will take good care of her heart aka her baby" Clark pledges.
Place: Smallville-The Kent Family Farm
Situation: Icarus, Jordan, and Jonathan are doing yard work
Jordan: It must've hurt when she abandoned you
Icarus: Are you referring to my mom or aunt?
Jordan: Your mom
Icarus: My mom didn't abandon me. She chose a different path.
Jonathan: Why aren't you at home with her now?
Icarus: She and my aunt thought living here in Smallville would be better for me
Time Period: Evening
Place: The Kent Family House and Farm
Situation: Icarus has a seizure at the dinner table
Lois (very concerned about Icarus): Sweetheart, you are not eating your dinner
Icarus (tired more than usual): It has been long school day. This is all.
Lois: I understand, honey
(Quite suddenly and abruptly, Icarus collapses and starts having a seizure on the floor)
The Twins (frightened): OH MY GOD
Lois (hysterical as she cradles Icarus): Somebody, please 911
Clarke (looking out of the window): No doctor or nurse can help him. The problem is with his power source. His star is dying.
Lois: We can't just let him die. We must take him to the hospital at once.
(Clarke contacts both 911 and Kara. Kara refuses to come and help her son. She believes he will get over his illness.)
Place: The Fortress of Solitude
Scene: Icarus' shrine (a memorial garden)
Kara (sitting down on a bench): Hello, my love. It has been way too long. I apologize for being distant.
Icarus (a ghost): You sent me away on purpose. I had a seizure and you weren't there to help me. You were a mess when Lois and Clarke brought my dead body home.
Kara: I tried my best to love you and give you a proper burial
Icarus (rests his head on Kara's shoulder): You never truly wanted or loved me. I can feel it meaning your pain, sorrow, and digust with me. Now that I am gone, you are free.
Kara (choked up): Your dad violated me. This how you came into existence. I have learned to tolerate, accept, and embrace you.
Icarus: I thank you for the lovely shrine or memorial garden.
Kara (rubbing Icarus' hair): OH My Sweet Precious Boy
Place: The Fortress of Solitude- Icarus' memorial garden
Kara's p.o.v
"I am so sorry for your loss" Alex apologizes. "He is better off without me and this world of suffering" I assure my sister. "I know you have another family. Your heart and mind will never move on from Icarus" Alex believes strongly. "You are using reverse psychology. You are actually to miss him like crazy" I deflect. "You are right" an emotional Alex admits. My little princess Luna sees beyond my tough exterior. I remember I had a son and she had a brother once.
Place: Icarus' Memorial Garden
Monel's p.o.v
"Daddy, look at all the pretty flowers" Luna points out. "It was expected and yet unnecessary" I think to myself. "What do you mean it was expected and yet unnecessary?" Kara reads my mind. "Our son's death was expected and yet unnecessary" I explain. "Icarus was my son and not yours" she corrects me.
Scene: Icarus' memorial service
Situation: Alex has an intimate conversation with Icarus
Alex (sitting on a bench with Icarus): I miss talking to you live in the flesh.
Icarus: She has another family these days. I bet she is glad that I am out of her hair.
Alex: You are her firstborn. She does love you in her own unique way.
