Chapter Summary: Flash forward, two months, it was now the Spooky seasons and the Queen family is still trying their best to get over everything that has happened, the youngest girl, Astra struggling the most.
Astra awoke to a dizzying sensation, her mind sluggish as consciousness returned. The faint pressure of rubbery leather restraints encircling her delicate wrists and ankles brought a sinking realization.
"Wha...?" she murmured, her voice fragile as her blurry gaze darted around the unfamiliar room. "Where am I? Mommy?"
A chilling laugh echoed in response, its sinister edge freezing her blood. "Your mother can't help you now," the voice taunted.
Before she could process the words, a sharp jolt of electricity lanced through her ribcage, wrenching a gasp from her lips. Instinctively, she jerked upright, but the restraints tightened, yanking her back against the cold table. A soft, frightened whimper escaped her as she trembled in the suffocating darkness.

The sharp sound of their daughter's cries pierced the quiet of the night, startling Oliver and Kara awake. It had become an almost predictable part of their nightly routine, though no less heartbreaking each time.
"Mommy!" Astra's desperate voice carried from her room, thick with distress.
Kara moved to rise, but Oliver gently caught her arm, guiding her back down. "Stay," he said softly. "I'll go."
"Oliver, she's calling for me," Kara protested, her voice tinged with both concern and fatigue. Her hand instinctively rested on the small curve of her stomach—a tender reminder of their growing family.
"I know," Oliver replied, already standing. "But I'll bring her to you. Just stay in bed, please."
Reluctantly, Kara sank back into the pillows, sighing in defeat. Since everything had happened, she'd resolved to approach this pregnancy the same way she had her previous ones—without using her powers. The red sun bracelets on her wrists ensured her superhuman abilities remained dormant, prioritizing the baby's safety above all else.
Oliver gave her a reassuring smile before leaving the room, his steps quick yet quiet as he made his way to Astra's room.
The sight that met him tugged at his heart. Astra was thrashing in her bed, her small body tense with fear, her cries for Kara growing more frantic. Oliver hurried to her side, gently taking hold of her arms and lifting her into his lap as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Astra," he murmured, his voice calm and steady. "Princess, it's okay." He smoothed a hand down her tear-streaked face, his touch light and soothing. "You're having a nightmare. Wake up, sweetheart."
Slowly, Astra's frantic movements stilled, her big, watery eyes blinking open to meet his. "Where's Mommy?" she choked out, her voice trembling.
"In the bedroom," Oliver assured her, holding her close as he stood. "Let's go see her."
With her small arms wrapping tightly around his neck, Oliver carried Astra back to their room, whispering soothing words along the way, a father's love anchoring her back to safety.
Oliver took Astra to his bedroom that he shared with Kara, he saw her scrolling on her phone then instantly put it down when she saw the two enter.
Kara reached out for her daughter once Oliver approached the bed sitting Astra on the bed allowing the young girl crawl up to her mother. "Oh baby," Kara held her daughter close.
Oliver stared at Kara and Kara's phone, the screen lit up and the phone vibrated on the small table stan next to the bed.
"Who's that?" Oliver pointed to Kara's phone as he climb into bed.
"Andrea," Kara sighed, "She wants to set up a press conference for me to officially announce I'm Supergirl."
Oliver nodded. Then looked down at his daughter, whose eyes were getting heavy feeling comfortable in her mother's arms.
So it's a bit short but here's the prologue. Can't promise a next chapter immediately I'm going back to school tomorrow but I'll update when I can!
