Kara's point of view

So i think everything started to go downhill when the beautiful lucy lane thankfully graced the DEO with her presents unknowingly setting a series of events into place that would lead to my aunts demise, let me walk you though what happened up to that point and then we can go from there.

My aunt was being kept as a prisoner or more accurately a pet for them to study and it was killing me, she is the woman that raised me and taught me how to be a warrior and how to fight with a sword, of course this was alongside my parents who taught me literature and law, not to mention science back on krypton.

She made me laugh as a child and every time that I see her I just wanted to break her out and save her but if I do I will be classed as a villain and people will say I have gone rogue and then they will have an excuse to lock me up like they did to her and i can help her from behind bars so i have to keep my head on straight.

I really hate that if a human hurts an alien it is deemed as justice but if it is reversed and it is the alien killing a human it's a crime of the biggest proportions possible. What really made me snap is when I caught General Lane torturing her and I tried to stop it but Alex insinuated herself into the situation even after I told her to leave.

When I returned to apologize to my aunt I couldn't look in her eyes, I felt so ashamed and disgusted in myself for letting things spin this far. I decided that feeling scared was over and I called someone who I knew could stop all of this. I called the president who, thanks to me saving her a week ago, told me to call her and I could ask one favor of her and this was it.

I asked her to give my aunt immunity and she agreed, but before she could my aunt had broken out of the DEO with Non her husband, my uncle and ran. The DEO immediately started to track them and the entire time I had this feeling in my gut that I just couldn't let anyone (even Alex) near my aunt.

I needed to protect her but unfortunately not everything can go as planned. When we had finally tracked her down she and Non were trying to send the planet back into the dark ages and we had to try to stop them.

I went after Non, seeing as he was the most unstable while John went after Astra and Alex fought the other kryptonians. Or at least that was the plan, what happened next made me very upset and angry but not as much as it made my heart break.

Alex's voice came over the comm telling me that i had to come to her location at once because something happened so i did. But when I got there I found my aunt with a sword going through her barely holding onto her life and looking at me with so much regret in her eyes I wanted to burst into tears.

I hold her as she slowly takes her last breaths while silent tears roll down my cheeks before turning to John and Alex asking what happened before John stepped forward and said that there was no other choice and it was a choice that he had to make because there were no others.

I stepped back as Non came onto the roof with visible tears in his eyes and took my aunt into his arms lifting her off the ground, before he looked at me.

"You need to rethink the people you are loyal to if this is what they will do to you"

Before he flew off while tears gathered in my arms.

"Kara"

Said Alex putting a hand on my shoulder that I violently shoved off before I took off as fast as a speeding bullet and without looking back at them. I flew to the fortress of solitude wanting to be surrounded by my ancestors and needing to be near my family while I had just lost another so recently.

I touched down and started to walk towards the coroner where I knew Cal-Ex would be when my uncle Non suddenly flew down in front of me but didn't attack me, making me momentarily confused before he started to talk to me.

"Hello little one, we thought it would be proper to put her at peace as soon as possible so Astra's funeral has begun"

He told me before turning his back and flying off before I heard a faint 'follow' come from him making me start to levitate off the ground to go with him to put my aunt at rest. We reached her coffin which was floating above the clouds before assuming our stands either side of her.

"She would have wanted you here kara"

He says looking at me with an emotion that I thought I would never see on his face directed at me ever again since the explosion, 'love'.

"Do you remember our traditions that the oldest female from our bloodline takes over after the last" Non asks, making me nod my head in confirmation.

"I will do it" I say while looking at astra through the glass casing of the coffin while he smiles at me taking my rightful place as a ruler.

When the funeral was over Non and our men left and I was floating there filled with emotion that was overbearing and overtaking every bone in my body making me want to break down. I started flying. My body knew where I was going but my mind was fuzzy, no matter how many times I tried to find the answer the fog just wont let me.

So it isn't until i crash land onto cats balcony at CatCo and i feel her arms around me that i stop fighting the emotion and i break down harder than i ever have while she whispers in my ear to comfort me and bringing me further and further into herself until i am sitting on her lap and burrow my face, soaked with tears into her neck.

When I had finally stopped crying and had calmed down, Cat led me over to the couch and sat me down while rubbing tight circles on my back in a comforting motherly manner.

"What is wrong kara?"

She asked using my real name, to which I responded.

"My aunt astra died today and the funeral was just now" I say making cats' eyes widen.

"Your Kryptonian aunt?" She asked me.

"Yes, John had to because she was going to hurt him"

I told her which made her nod her head in understanding.

"She was still you aunt kara, you have a right to be upset"

She tells me knowing that i will feel guilty for someone's death for trying to hurt john.

"Thank you Cat" I said to her,

"Your welcome"

"Can I ask you a question?" She asks me,

"Yes, of course" I reply,

"Why did you come here and not Alex?" She asked,

"I think i needed comfort and not 'it will be ok' and i know that you will always be honest with me"

I tell her to make her smile at me gratefully before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I agreed to be the new leader of my people" I tell her to make her eyes shoot up to mine.

"Really?" She asked,

"Yes and now i am going to have to figure out my role and the responsibilities that come with it so i need a week off" I say to her, making her nod in agreement.

"It will be done"

Her final words are before silence falls over us once more. The day after my night crying in Cat's arms I was sitting in my apartment watching tv, until a Kryptonian flew through my window and informed me that I was being summoned by my uncle to start becoming their leader, I immediately got changed and went to where I was told to meet him When I arrived at the given coordinates my uncle was stood there with a few Kryptonian's while watching a dozen more look over Fort Rozz and scanning something that I could quite see. I walked up and stood by my uncle before he started to speak.

"Hello young Zor-El you training will begin shortly and i will talk you through different protocols and procedures your aunt came up with to keep the piece between the army recruits"

He informed me while still watching the others working on the fortress so I responded.

"Very well, may I ask if my aunt had any wishes if her demise happened?" I asked him.

"Yes, she wanted you to take over and become the leader she always knew you could be"

Said my uncle Non, making tears come to my eyes while I momentarily stiffened as he turned to me and rested a hand on my shoulder.

"I know it is hard kara, but we must move forward" He says to me, making me smile at him thankfully for the kind words.

"Thank you uncle, i will try to"

I say making him nod before starting to walk towards the door of Fort Rozz before he tells me to follow him inside. Once we are inside he leads me through all sorts of doors and obvious security measures that I remember my mother talking about when she would debrief father and me on security measures.

"Well lets begin....."

----------------------------

After Non gave me the run down and the ins and outs of the last army of krypton and he gave me this index to memorize everyone in the army and race of aliens. I headed to the DEO to see if there were any disturbances that needed my attention.

When I arrived the whole facility was in chaos, everyone was running around, and Alex was nowhere to be seen. John stood by the screen showing a map of National City with a frown on his face. I walked up to him with slow strides before coming to a stop next to him.

"Ah Supergirl we could use your help, livewire is attacking CatCo"

He tells me with a voice of urgency making me say.

"Why should i help" I said before I could process it through my brain, making me want to kick myself.

"What?, Kara" He says in a confused state.

"You took my aunt away, why should I help you fix something when you broke something of mine?"

He looked at me with sad eyes and something that I could recognise was shining from them along with the sadness before his face shut off all emotions at the obvious reasons that he was trying to keep them under control which made me feel guilty.

"I am so sorry john"

I tell him before I feel him kiss my hairline in a lovingly fatherly way before I say.

"I am on my way to CatCo John"

Before flying out of the window with my cape flapping in the wind while I was flying towards the most famous media building. When I arrived I took in a scene which made me roll my eyes at how predictable it was Alex was screaming at Cat and telling her to leave while cat was fighting back and calling her the nickname she invented for Alex 'agent scully' from the Tv show 'Brooklyn Nine Nine', which made me smile at the normalcy but knew i had to end it, so i walked up between them before saying.

"Alex this is cats building you cannot command her to leave it so instead of fighting let's allow her to help us instead"

While Cat was biting down on one of the sides of her glasses before she took it out of her mouth
and said,

"Supergirl is right, agent Scully, I am more of a use as a partner then a enemy"

Which brought a smile to my face which widened when Alex agreed.

"Great, now that that is settled let's get to the matter at hand, shall we" I say before asking,

"What is the problem here?" To which Alex responded,

"Livewire is trapped in the elevator but she wants revenge on Cat for making you because you made her" She informs me making me feel so much guilt at being the one to have caused it, i turned to cat and said,

"I am so sorry Cat"

She smiled and waved the apology away with her hand before pointing to the elevator while looking at me and saying 'fix it' in a stern tone before she marched back to her office and took her seat on her office chair.

I walked up to the elevator and used my X-ray vision to see into the shaft so i could know where the elevator was currently positioned and felt relief when i realized that it was a few floors down and not level with the door for that floor making her trapped and temporarily confined to the elevator where she hopefully wouldn't use her abilities encase the elevator dropped from a electrical serge.

I turn back to Alex to tell her what I have found out but when we make eye contact she flinches and looks away from my eyes almost like she is ashamed. I walk over to her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Alex, are you ok?" I ask her, wanting to see if there was anything I could do if something was indeed wrong.

"Yes Kara, i am fine" She said in a tone that could only be described as rude which made me shake my head at her childish behavior but worry about what could be the source of it.

"Ok, we have a chance at getting livewire and detaining her" I say wanting to change the subject before saying,

"She is a few floors down but the elevator isn't level with the door" I tell her before she looks at me with a look of frustration.

"Then go and get her Kara, only you can fly"

She says it makes me annoyed but I know that there is a job to do so now isn't the time for confronting this new behavior of hers. I stride up to the elevator and use my strength to open the doors before I turn back to where a team of agents are standing before commanding.

"Be ready to take miss Wills into custardy"

To one of the agents before they all simultaneously say.

"Yes ma'am"

I start to float down the shaft and towards the hatch that is on top of the elevator before realizing that Leslie was using her powers to electrocute it so nobody could be near her and arrest her. I x-rayed the elevator to make sure I would hurt her before I used my heat vision to cut the hatch off the top of the elevator before hearing it fall to the ground and making a loud noise in the
process.

"Oh goody well if it isn't national city favorite hero"

Said Leslie's voice dripping with sarcasm as she stepped into view with a glare on her face directed at me and vicious enough to cut glass. I slowly floated through the lasered hole I had made and hovered just an inch off the ground of the elevator so her shocks would hurt me.

"Come on Leslie, give up" I say in a tired but polite tone.

"Why should i?" She asks while making lightning spark around her fingers before it gathered into a ball on her palm.

"Because you could hurt people" I say before she went into a fit of laughter.

"I don't care about them Supergirl"

She responded by making me take a minute to observe her. I realized that she looked scared and her eyes held no emotion other than sadness. I realized that Leslie didn't want to hurt anyone; she just wanted to be acknowledged by those she admired.

"Leslie there is no need for this violence i know you just want to be seen" I started seeing a flicker of emotion,

"But this isn't that way to do it people are not admiring you, they are fearing you"

I told her to make her break eye contact and briefly look at the floor before once again glaring at me.

"Why would I care?"

She asks me in a moment of disguised vulnerability, making me smile and walk forward.

"Because we are the same we both want people to like and respect us and when they don't give you another glance you try harder and harder to be noticed even if it kills you" I feel honored at seeing a somewhat vulnerable side of Leslie.

"Let me take you into custardy and i will make sure that you are treated fairly and i will try to make it so you don't get prison time but community service" I said to her gently not wanting to scare her anymore then she already was.

"What sort of community service?" She asks me,

"The classified but wonderful type"

I told her wanting to get her to work at the deo as an equal and not a bad guy, she has so much potential and i desperately want her to see it.

"Like what you do?" She asks with a questionable voice.

"Yes" I say before i went quiet knowing that she will need to think, but i didn't have to wait long until she says,

"Ok i will come willingly"

With a affirmative nod to herself before she stepped forward waiting for me to take us both to where the agents were waiting to detain her.

Kara’s point of view

It is a Monday morning, nine O'clock in the morning to be precise and I am dressed with my hair brushed in a smart suit with my glasses off and hair down to show a professional but relaxed posture, while sitting in a courtroom waiting for a judge to decide whether Leslie is innocent or guilty and I am so nervous and scared that they will purposely ignore the evidence and say ‘guilty’ just to make her stay in prison and not be allowed to leave.

It has been a week since I arrested Leslie so I am surprised we are already here but I am grateful she won't be made to wait too long to find out the judges verdict on her case. 

We all rise to our feet as the judge comes out of the door beside the bench and she walks up the stairs and to his seat, holding her stance for a minute showing everyone her power over the room so that no one will dare to defy her or step out of line.

“Please sit, court is in session”

She says banging the Gavel down onto the plank of wood commencing the start of the court case, she turns to look at the guard stationed in front of the bench before saying.

“Can you please escort Miss Wills into the courtroom”

The guard nods in acknowledgement before straightens and turns, opening the door and disappearing through it to retrieve Leslie from a holding cell.

-------------------Flashback---------------------

Leslie had just been taken into custody and I flew to the DEO or known as the Department of Extranormal operations and walked straight to John's office still cladded on my Supergirl attire which i wish i didn't wear if i had a choice i would wear a kryptonian army uniform like my aunt wore.

I made sure my strides were long and precise as I neared where I knew the Martian was thanks to his heartbeat leading me to him. My cape flapped behind me as I stopped in front of the door and wrapped my hand around the doorknob before turning and opening the door.

I walked into his office, while making sure that an aura of power followed me knowing that people don't take me seriously unless I make it known I am not up for mind games all they saw me as was a blond haired cheerleader but if only they knew who I , Kara Zor-El really was capable and my actual intelligence.

“Kara, what a pleasant surprise” Said John standing from his chair before indicating to one across from him.

“Please sit”

He said to me, making me nod before walking over to the chair and claiming it as my own.

“Hey John, can we talk about Leslie?” I asked him politely.

“Of course Kara, what about her, you put her in custardy didn't you?”

He asked me, making me answer truthfully.

“Yes but I would like her to come and work for us on a community service type thing instead of prison?, i think it will help her greatly”

I said to him while he nodded along to what I was saying.

“To be honest I agree with you and I believe it can benefit her greatly, I will see what I can do” He says before I respond.

“Thank you john i greatly appreciate this”

He smiles his fatherly smile before he asks me if I am ok.

“I am fine John just a little bit drained from it all that’s all, and not to mention that i am still in grieving”

I remind him but immediately regret it when a sad look spreads across his face.

“John i am sorry” I say after taking a deep breathe,

“Its ok Kara, you have a right to grieve”

He says before telling me to go home and get some rest.

----------------End of flashback-------------------

The judge was firm but fair, she sat in her seat and patiently listened to both sides and took in both sides of the truths that were laid before her by two different points of view, luckily Leslie was honest about her crimes and the judge looked pleased as she knew that the villain known as ‘Livewire’ may not be so bad after all.

“Please rise for sentencing”

Said the judge before everyone rose to their feet.

“Miss Wills, you have been found of numerous crimes but i can also tell that you do feel guilt for what you have done” She started with before saying,

“I am not sending you to prison but instead a community service that Supergirl herself has offered, she is going to take you under her wing and show you how to utilize your abilities for the better” She said before she softened her tone and asked,

“Do you accept?”

Leslie froze before nervously glancing at me with an actual smile before agreeing and then the judge, with one last soft smile of encouragement aimed at Leslie, dismissed the court allowing us to leave. I walked up to Leslie as the guards took the handcuffs off her and hugged her when her hands were free.

“Good job” I said whispering in her ear while i could feel her shaking from exhaustion but i knew that she could push forward.

“Thank you”

She responded before i pulled back and took her hand,

“Ready to go to work?” I asked,

“Yes i am”

She said to me before I took her once again in my arms and flew us both to the DEO while Alex called after me to start her training.

I wasn't trying to ignore Alex but I have responsibilities now and I have to train and I cannot prioritize Alex over Leslie's training because if I don't apply full concentration to Leslie as her teacher and commanding officer then she might die because of my lack of concentration i must put all of my experience from Krypton and here on earth to ensure that she is safe.

When we land at the DEO I tell her to follow me to the training room which she does but she is unusually quiet which makes me a little hesitant because of the fact that you need to be vocal and alert for training and for safety and to make sure the student is actually learning.

We walk into the training room and I lead us to the center of the training area after locking the door before I indicate to us both to sit down so we can talk.

“Leslie, is everything alright you are being really quiet and i need you to be in a good mindset before we begin” I say to her knowing that she will want to know why I am asking.

“I am fine kara thank you for being worried but i am just taking it all in that's all” She says with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

“Please Leslie i can see something is bugging you, and we can’t work well together if we are not honest and don't communicate”

I say before sighing in relief when she drops her shoulders in defeat making me know that my assumptions were right.

“I am just a little confused as to how i am not in a cage, i know you promised to help me but nobody has ever come through for me before” She admitted in a small voice to which i responded,

“Do you have trouble trusting people?”

I asked her before she nodded ‘yes’ while maintaining eye contact,

“Well then we will not train you in hand to hand combat but I am going to help you see that you can trust me, ok? I said to her,

“Yes”

She said nervously but with a smile before she said,

“How?”

I took a deep breath knowing that I had to apologize for making her like this that day in the helicopter and hopefully she would see that my apology was genuine.

“First i owe you a apology, i am sorry for being the one to make you like this, i am suppose to protect humans and even know you are alive i killed the life you had and for that i am truly sorry” I said looking into her eyes,

“I would like us to move forward and start fresh, i myself will never forget the past but i will learn from it and take measures to ensure that that incident never happens again”

I said looking her in the eye to show respect and that I was being truthful. She took a moment, her eyebrows pinched together which made me know that she was in deep thought before she started speaking.

“I have never been apologized to before and i am grateful that you did, i am not good with trust but i promise to try, i will accept your apology but i don't know if i can forgive you completely yet”

I take a breath to process her words before I respond.

“That is completely understandable Leslie, now let's go and do some trust exercises”

I say to her before we both stand up and walk out of the room walking side by side. I instruct us through various exercises that I believe could strengthen our bond. The first exercise I did with her is I took her for a fly around National City to show her that she could trust me to not let her go.

In my opinion it went great we flew all over national city and she was tense at first before she became less and less stiff as the more time had passed until she was completely relaxed against me and we flew around to different parts taking in the scenery and different building and different areas where people where living and debating if they were different to other areas and if they were then what about them where different and which area was better before we returned to the DEO.

The second exercise was that I would trust her and take her to my hologram mum so that she could learn about some of my culture, but as we entered john and Alex where in here when I am the only person that should be allowed into this room seeing as it was a sacred and sentimental place for me and me alone to come and see my mothers AI version so i was momentarily shocked before they turn and look at me with guilty expressions making me forget about the frustration and ask the question that i have wanted to for a while now.

“What is going on and why does it feel like you are hiding something from me?”

Leslie tensed up next to me while watching the two in front of us like a hawk obviously feeling the same atmosphere that I do with these two, which only made my suspicions that they were hiding something intensify.

“Kara, can we please just leave it?”

Asked Alex in a voice that made me uncomfortable and angry (since it was one you would use if you were a child trying to escape a punishment) which made me know that I needed to know because it was something about me as i was sick of her treating me like a child when my age was three times hers making me the actual elder and her superior.

“No Alex, i am sick of the secrecy and i deserve to know what is happening”

I say making her want to realize that she has already lied to me about the DEO and other stuff so i wasn't going to let her lie again.

“Kara, please” She begged before i said,

“NO” In a booming and final voice,

“I am entitled to know something which involves me”

I tell her but then immediately look to john who i know won't lie to me but before i can start to question him Alex blurts out something that will change our relationship forever and make my world crumble.

“I killed Astra, not John”

I stood there disgusted and humiliated at the omission that she was admitting to, all Alex does is go on and on about loyalty while guilting and belittling me about family and how you must stay loyal. I have always been loyal to those whom I consider family due to my childhood and ‘El Myriad’ which in my family means 'stronger together’. I was angry and ready to take her down several pegs and disown her.

Lucy’s point of view

(Her office in the DEO, 5 minutes from the confession)

“Hello General Lane, may I have a word?”

Asked an agent while he appeared around my door in a silent question if he could enter, I stood up and straightened out my general uniform before saying.

“Of course please come in”

While gesturing to a chair in my office.

“What is wrong?”

I ask him knowing from his expression that something was nagging at him like he had overheard something that he shouldn't have.

“I think Agent Danvers may have killed someone ma’am”

He says, making me a little confused so I ask.

“What makes you say that?”

I ask him,

“Because i heard John tell her that someone death wasn't her fault and she was just doing her job but i didn't get a name”

He informs me, making me confused because Alex has not reported any kills which are mandatory in the DEO and as a government operative she can be fired for not reporting taking someone's life and imprisoned in circumstances.

“Thank you agent?”

“Harvey,” he replies.

“Agent Harvey, i will look into it, thank you for alerting me to the matter”

I say before dismissing him with a kind smile and promising him that this would stay between us and if I found anything I would keep him out of it.

I realize that the fastest way to see what he was talking about and to confirm his suspicions where to look at the CCTV so i turned to the monitors set up in my office before switching them to CCTV before locating them in the room that is supposed to be off limits to everyone but me and kara because it is the room that contain the hologram of Alura which made me angry.

I switched the other smaller monitors off and just when I see kara walk into the room i flip the volume on and close my door to make sure i am alone and nobody will hear.

I waited with bated breath while Kara kept insisting that they shouldn't keep something that involves her from her before the words that I never could have seen coming fall from Alex’s mouth.

“I killed Astra, not john”

As soon as I heard them I felt disgusted, Alex had lied to us all and had murdered Kara, her mothers identical twin sister, her Aunt and had lied about it and let John take the fall and kept it not only from me, her boss but her own sister and deceived us all.

Not to mention that Astra was the last family Kara had left who knew her as a kid and basically raised her. I feel so sorry for Kara and I will not allow this to stand unlike John who seemingly always covers for agent Danvers when she breaks the law.

Once I saw Kara turn and walk out of the room with Leslie on her tail with her face void of emotion except the anger that I could see the anger brewing in her eyes. I picked up my phone and dialed a number of someone I knew could help.

“Madam president speaking how may i help you”

The voice of the president came after I had confirmed my identity with her security and assistant.

“Madam president, this is Lucy Lane director of the DEO and i need to report an agent of mine”

I told her before waiting for her response, I heard a deep sigh down the phone before she asked.

“Is it by any chance a complaint about Agent Danvers by any chance Miss Lane?”

She asks me making me ask,

“May I ask how you know?” To which she responded,

“We have had complaints about her over the years and since Supergirl has shown her face and started helping us, they have only gotten worse” She informs me.

“Can I please have some examples as to these complaints?” i ask,

“The most recent one was when she shot Supergirl out of the sky with a kryptonite bullet”

I gasped at the fact that I knew Kara was Supergirl and this piece of information added to the turmoil of anxiety I am gradually building for National City’s sweetheart.

“I had no idea that Agent Danvers had done that, if i had known i would have limited her use of weaponry, i will restrict it to one i have finished up this call, please may you tell me other incidents so i know what to expect?”

I asked, needing to know more so I know how to handle the situation.

“Yes, about three years ago she showed up at work as high as a kite and thought it was a good idea to make everyone believe that john had put her in charge and she got five agents killed in a strike team” She told me making me ask,

“Why wasn't she fired?”

“She agreed to go to a rehab center, in exchange for keeping her job” The president informed me,

“Thank you for this information ma’am and i hope that moving forward we can work together and help each other if needed” I told her before she responded.

“So do i, General Lane”

Before we hung up I immediately went to the door before opening it to go and restrict Alex’s permissions for certain areas and privileges of the building.

-----------------------------------------

Kara’s point of view

Walking away from Alex i felt numb and depressed, just like my mother was my heart and my father was my Conscience my Aunt was my courage and now when i thought i was going to get her back she is killed and i have not only lost her again but i am also lied to and forced to feel alone again.

“Kara, are you ok?”

Leslie's voice came from behind me which made me snap out of a daze where I had been staring at a wall with my neck tilted downwards which was weirdly caring and compassionate.

My eyes snapped up to hers and I looked into her arms before I pulled her towards me and flew the two of us silently towards my apartment. Once we were there I made us both a cup of tea before we sat on opposite couches and we sat in silence until I decided to break it to make my feelings known.

“I am sorry you had to see that Leslie”

I say to her before she pulls a face which can only be described as confused and angry.

“What do you mean, she murdered your Aunt, Kara she is a bad person”

She tells me and then moves to set her cup down on the coffee table before moving to be seated next to me.

She took a deep breathe before putting her hand on my bicep and said,

“I know it is hard to hear Kara, but she doesn't love you, she is using you, for your species, your capabilities and for the title of the sister of Supergirl, she isn't your friend she is your enemy”

She said in a voice that was honest and truthful which made my eyes filled with tears.

“Please stop” I begged her before asking,

“Please?” I asked, she said.

“I am sorry Kara, but I need you to see it before she destroys you” she said before I defended myself.

“She won't destroy me” I said in a broken voice, not knowing what to believe.

“Yes she will and we both know it, your love for her clouds your judgment” I took a deep breath of air before saying.

“I don't want to hear it, she doesn't” Leslie took a deep breath before saying.

“Do you really think that if she loved you she would shoot you out of the sky knowing that the bullet itself or the impact of the ground could have killed you?” She asked, making me respond.

“No but she was undercover she had to”

“No Kara she didn't” she says “Alex could have refused she has a mind and free will she decided to shot you”

The tears become more intense that I have to close my eyes which makes them roll down my cheeks and drop off my chin.

I am so tired by this point and angry my emotions build up and I explode into tears, tears of frustration, tears of anger as I fall into Leslie's awaiting arms which are surprisingly strong and comforting around me.

She wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a loving and safe embrace, allowing me the time to fall apart, something that I have never done before. I  am always expected to be the hero, the strong one that everyone can lean on so it is nice to be able to lean on someone else for a change.

“I think you should think about leaving national city and have a break away from Alex and the DEO”

She says to me, making me realize that the idea of it sounds really nice but i don't want to go alone.

“I will on one condition”

I tell her making myself look up to make eye contact while she looks down and tilts her head questionably in my direction before i say,

“You come with me?”

She looked at me for a second before bringing her hand to my hair and started to play with it, telling me that she was in deep thought. A moment later the hand stopped and she let out a big sigh before saying.

“Ok Zor-El we have a deal”

Before my eyes snapped to her with a cheeky grin on her features.

“Hey” I say annoyed,

“What someone has to be your big sis now”

She makes me smile but feels sad at the fact that she is right. Alex isn't my sister, she is the person who bullied me through my childhood and blames me for everything, shot me, then murdered my aunt after watching her get tortured and doing nothing. I wanted to help Astra but I am an alien. If I disobeyed an order they could kill me in a heartbeat then I wouldn't have been able to help her at all, so I bided my time which cost her her life.

I smiled at Leslie and told her she could either sleep in the bed with me or take the couch seeing as it was getting late, she chose to share the bed and I agreed. We ordered pizza and ate it when it arrived like it was a marathon seeing as we were both very tired we climbed into bed afterwards before falling asleep.

When I awoke in the morning it was to a call from Lucy telling me to come to the DEO because she wanted to discuss something with me and said it was too private to say over the phone. I left a note on Leslie's side of the bed stating that I would be home soon and to help herself to anything she wanted before I used my superspeed to get changes before I flew to the DEO. I landed at the DEO and walked towards Lucy’s office before knocking and entering when Lucy’s voice came from inside and told me to come in.

“Hello you wanted to see me”

I said once I had poked my head around the coroner before stepping in fully.

“Hello kara, and yes i did, please take a seat”

She motioned to one next to a woman who was sitting in a seat to the right on Lucy's desk whereas mine was to the left. I walked over and gracefully lowered myself into the seat.

“Kara please meet Dr Quinzel the DEO psychiatrist”

She said making me turn and nod my head towards her politely in greeting before.

“Dr Quinzel please meet Kara Zor-El”

She said, making us once again turn and greet one another.

“Hello kara” Said Dr Quinzel with a slight accent.

“I have been asked here because of a recent development regarding Agent Danvers, now i don't know if lucy told you” She said making me confused,

“But she overheard Alex admitting to you that she killed your aunt ad steps are being made for justice to be served” She says making me look at lucy,

“I did hear it all and i consulted a therapist on how to help you and she believes that you should go away 

for a while and have time to yourself”

Said Lucy, making me remember my conversation last night with Leslie.

“Me and Leslie had a similar conversation” I said,

“And?” Asked lucy.

“I wasn't sure but now that others think the same thing i think it will be the best course of action to take”

I admitted making them both smile and nod.

“Then it is settled, you will go and have time to yourself, will Leslie be going with you?” Lucy asked me,

“Yes i would appreciate some company” I said and the therapist said.

“I believe you should go and pack”

I nodded thanks and stood from the chair before making my way out of the DEO and to my apartment.

{...}

Two days later

Me and Leslie got out of the car dressed in civilian clothing and headed into a bar. We walked to the bar and took a seat on the stools before a man dressed in a suit came and sat next to us before speaking.

“Hello, you guys are new right?” He asked us,

“Yes we are, how do you know?” Leslie asked him.

My family have lived here for centuries and I know everyone here.

“Well then, i am Leslie and this is Kara” She says while indicating to me,

“Welcome to new Orleans, Leslie and Kara, i am Elijah, Elijah Michaelson”

He says, extending his hand for us to shake and once we had he took his leave with a final nod of the head and a slight smile on his face before walking out the door and disappearing on the other side.

“That's odd,” I say, gaining Leslie's attention.

“What is?” She asked.

“I couldn't hear his heartbeat”

Chapter Text

Elijah’s point of view

I got home and had the two mysterious women in the front of my head, especially one of the women who I had just heard leaving saying to her friend,

‘I couldn't hear his heartbeat’

It was both daunting and mesmerizing but it means that she isn't, which means whoever they are, they have powers but they don't know that I do as well, it puts me at an advantage which means that we have the upperhand.

I stopped after closing the door to take a few moments on what to do about them and to think whether or not to alert my family of their presents here in New Orleans when Freya came up from beside me and asked.

“Brother, what's wrong?”

I looked at her for a moment debating what to do while she stared right back at me with calculating eyes and pursed lips and I knew that it was time to gather our siblings and inform them of the woman otherwise if I keep it to myself for any longer Klaus will become paranoid and the others will be angry at my devious behaviour. I looked at her before saying. 

“Can you gather everyone for a family meeting please Freya?”

I asked her with a polite tone and eye contact to show respect.

“Yes, of course i can maybe then you can tell us what ails you, my dear little brother”

She says before turning and walking away while the coroner of my lips tug upwards in a momentary moment of affection aching to seep through to my features. She turns around before walking out of the room completely and says.

“We are here for you Elijah and it wont hurt you to need help every now and then, it's healthy” I smiled before asking.

“Did Keelin teach you that”

Making her nod before disappearing around the coroner leaving me to my thoughts and figuring out what I am going to say to my family about the two unknown people in our town, New Orleans belongs to my family and I and that will not change. We founded the town and we will rule it.

{...}

It wasn't fifteen minutes later that we were all sitting in the sitting room with myself on the leather arm chair. I knew that I needed to bring this matter up now and no later seeing as they could threaten our way of life and they might even find out our secret.

Katherine and Rebekah (who were married) sitting on one end of the couch and Kol and Davina sat on the other end. Then Freya and Keelin were on the opposite leather couches with Klaus and Freya next to him and Hope (who was now twenty five) sitting opposite to me on an identical armchair. I took a deep breath gathering my thoughts before announcing.

“Today when I was on my daily stroll I came across two unknown women sitting in a bar, and if i am right they are both powered, their names are Leslie and Kara” i Explained before waiting for their responses.

“Ok, how do you know they are powered?”

Asked Rebekah sitting up straight to grab our attention and draw our complete attention to show that she was listening and to be taken seriously as she will not back down without getting an answer.

“When i was walking out of the bar i caught one of them saying how i didn't have a heartbeat to her friend which means…”

“Which means she had enhanced hearing?” Said Freya now, understanding why I was confused earlier.

“Yes and it makes me even more confused because I could hear her heart and it was beating so fast and she is definitely alive” I say before Hope asks.

“Could she be a werewolf”

“No I didn't smell a scent on her but whatever she is, she definitely isn't human” I tell them with a confused hint to my tone.

“And the other?” Asks DIvina.

“She is human but i think she was enhanced somehow” I knew she was but i couldn't say that knowing about the distrust in this family and defensiveness when it comes to people outside of the family and the possible threats they could become.

“How's that?” Katherine asked cuddling further into Rebekah’s side even more.

“It felt like everything was more electrically charged and whenever I got close to her it increased and when I shook her hand I could feel a surge of electricity go through my body like it was trying to merge with me” I explained to them to try and make them understand why I believe they are powered.

“Ok so they have to be monitored” Said Freya,

“Yes, if possible,” I responded, seeing as they could be a danger to our people and reputations of the supernatural community of this town.

“Ok who will monitor them, i mean personally i think the woman and Kol should take lead seeing as Klaus and Elijah are known to be impulsive”

Exclaimed Keelin, making them agree with her before Klaus turns to me and asks.

“Are we really going to let them take point on this?”

“Yes you are” says Freya

“These women might be our equals for all we know, we need to assess and not threaten or integrate until we know more” Freya said, making us all realize she was right.

“She is right father” Hope said

“These women haven't done anything harmful or disruptive so we have no cause to go in guns blazing” she finished with.

“When did my daughter get so smart and grown up?”

Klaus asked Hope with a smile making hope cross her arms and roll her eyes.

“I have always been smart, now let's build a plan” She says before we set to work.

—----------------------------------------------

Kara’s point of view

I had followed that guy and heard him discussing Leslie and I with his family. I heard him telling his family about what I had said about his heartbeat which made me also realize (just like he did) that he and possibly his family were not human either.

I flew back to Leslie who I had left looking around the different stores, so after I had used an alleyway to change back into my civilian clothing.

I used my x-ray vision to see inside of the store to see if Leslie was in there. I walked into the store which was meant to be a store for witchcraft and walked over to her while getting strange looks from other people who were looking around it.

“Leslie, i am back”

I said coming up behind her loud enough for her to hear.

“Ah Kara, look i think some of this stuff may actually be real” She says in a tone filled with wonder.

“And why would you think that?”

I asked her, curious to hear why she thought what she did.

“Because these ingredients inside of the bottle have a electromagnetic frequency that i have never felt before”

She says making me know that something is up with the town and these people.

“I agree Leslie, i followed Elijah to his home and him and his family where talking about us and powered people, he told them that he heard me say he had no heartbeat, i don't think they are human”

I explain making her nod patiently before she replies.

“Should we call it in?”

“No, i think for now we should keep this under the radar”

I told her with a tone of uncertainty because I didn't like the idea of keeping this from Lucy.

“Ok, i will follow your lead” She replies with a smile.

“Thank you Leslie” I say to her with a grateful smile.

“Your welcome, shall we leave this store and go to this bench I passed which is just up the  street?” She asked me.

“Ok Leslie, lets go” I said, taking the lead and stringing out of the door only to spin around before asking.

“Where is it?”

Leslie laughed at me before taking my hand and leading me up the street and past loads of different shops and homes before we reached a clearing that was surrounded with grass with one unoccupied bench that looked out onto the mountains. We sat down on the bench and let out peaceful sighs.

“Now this is nice”

I commented with my eyes closed allowing the breeze to go over me and through my hair. It was so peaceful so I was annoyed when my phone in my pocket started vibrating letting me know that I had a call. I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the caller id ‘Lucy Lane’ was calling.

“Its Lucy”

I told Leslie before taking one more look at her I leaned back once more and closed my eyes before bringing the phone to my ear and saying.

“Hey Luce, what is up?”

I asked her to make sure to keep my tone light and casual so that she wouldn't think anything is wrong before we have concrete proof of whatever is happening.

“I am calling you to check in and to tell you that Alex’s court date is coming up”

She says making me sit bolt upright, before asking.

“Alex is really going to court?”

Which caused Leslie to open her eyes and sit up beside me indicating for me to put it on loudspeaker.

“Hang on luce, you are on a loud speaker and Leslie is also here” I told her.

“That's fine, when the president came I showed her the CCTV footage of the AI Alura’s room as well as video evidence of Astra on her knees defeated when Alex killed Kara’s aunt, the president was disgusted by her actions and called an emergency trial and sentencing” she told me making me confused as to why she needed to tell me.

“That good then isn't it?”

Asked Leslie to the both of us while looking at me. I nodded positively while Lucy said.

“Yes it is and other agents are being investigated to make sure nobody is anti-alien and is really here to keep everyone safe and not just the human kind” She said making me smile before saying.

“That is fantastic Lucy”

“I know right Kar, it's all coming together” She said before adding

“Bit by bit, yes, but it's still happening” She said excitedly.

“Yes it is,” I responded.

“Well i will let you go, have a good day” She said before I replied.

“You too”

Before she hung up, I looked towards Leslie while sliding my phone back into my pocket that I got it from before a voice came from behind us.

“Excuse me!”

The voice said, making us both stand up and turn around to a woman with short blond hair and blue eyes while the other woman beside her with a bit of muscle and dark skin with black curly hair and chestnut eyes.

“Yes”

“Are you Kara and Leslie?” The blonde asked me.

“Yes we are” Replied Leslie as she stood up to stand next to me.

“I am Elijah's sister and this is my girlfriend and we heard about you from him, would you like to hang out? We can give you the rundown of the city and a tour if you like?” She asked us to which I responded.

“That would be great thank you i don't really visit new towns i am on a therapy vaca of sorts, family court ordered”

I added playfully, electing a smirk from both newcomers and an eye roll from Leslie.

“Ok then it's settled then” Said the dark skinned woman.

“I am Keelin and this is Freya, come with us and we can go to our favorite cafe, hot chocolates on us” She said making me like her already.

“Yes hot chocolate, you are the best”

I said skipping faster to walk next to Keelin while Leslie walked behind us with Freya with their hands encased in each other.

“Good, i hope you will enjoy it”

She said, making me nod my head rapidly with a massive smile on her face.

Chapter Text

Keelin’s point of view

Freya and I took them to a cute cafe just on the edge of the French Quarter which we knew definitely served hot chocolate and chose a table in the back where it was quiet so we would be able to hear them.

We all sat down and got comfortable in our seats before Leslie broke the silence.

“This is a nice cafe”

She said crossing one leg over another and leaning back in her seat and flinging her arm onto Kara’s chair over the back of it, who was sitting next to her..

“Thank you, me and Freya love coming here”

I said to her while Freya nodded along before saying.

“This is where we met” Which made Kara gush and comment.

“That is so cute, right Leslie?” She asked.

“Yes very”

She said with a small smile, while making brief eye contact with me before looking behind me to where the waitresses were.

“Excuse me, do you know what you would like to order?” Asked a waitress.

“Yes we do” Said Kara,

“Four hot chocolates please”

She said kindly while a large adorable smile grew on her lips and happiness shone through her eyes making the eloquent light blue change to a darker more excitable shade.

“Is that all?” She asked us kindly to which I responded.

“Yes it will be, thank you”

And with that she walked away to place the order.

“So how long have the two of you been together?”

Asked Freya, which made Kara go red and Leslie glared at Freya which of course made Freya sit straighter and raise a brow in return.

“We are basically sisters, there is nothing romantic going on between Kara and I”

Leslie said clearing the situation up made me and Freya look at one another before both turning back to the couple but I knew that Freya was not checking out Kara just as badly as I was, although now we didn't have to be discreet.

“That is surprisingly great news”

I said before taking a bold move and winking at the beautiful blonde before me which had Kara blushing in a heartbeat before I heard footsteps approaching the table.

“Here we go, four hot chocolates”

said the waitress, before putting the drinks on the table and sliding one in front of all of us before turning and taking her leave.

“So have you lived here long?”

Kara asks us to which Freya responded.

“My family has lived here for hundreds of years”

She says making me smile at the hidden meaning in her words and the fact that they probably think she means generations, not literally her siblings.

“Really, do you know the names of the first Mikaelsons that lived here?”

Asked Kara making me even more amused.

“Yes, all of the information is able to find if you know where to look”

She replies before my advanced hearing catches her mumble.

“In the mirror”

Which i would have snorted at if i didn't see Kara’s eyes snap to her like she had also heard what she said, which was impossible, right?. I saw a brief flicker of red cast through her eyes and then disappearing almost like they were retreating to behind her eyes which left me with so many questions and confusing thoughts.

“So how's the hot chocolate?” Freya asked Kara.

------------------------------------

Kara’s point of view

After we had drank the hot chocolate we started to take a stroll around the town with the Mikaelsons as tour guides. They were really good tour guides and had obviously lived here for a while, we were just walking past a bakery when Freya turned to me and asked.

“What were your parents like?” To which I responded.

“Well i was adopted”

And with this sentence my parents' faces flashed through my head making me feel momentarily sad before gathering my thoughts together.

“Are you alright Kara?” Keelin asked me.

“Yes thank you ask away”

I told her with an enthusiastic smile before she asked.

“Ok do you remember your birth parents?”

“Yes i do, i was adopted when i was thirteen after my parents died in an explosion”

“Oh i am so sorry Kara”

Said Freya while I saw Leslie have an unusually sad expression on her face to which I turned to her and said.

“I have accepted it and moved on, being sad wont bring them back but thinking about them keeps their memory alive”

She gave me a small smile and nodded her hair and her face started to go back to her usual bitchy look making me smile at her before turning back to the two women in front of us.

“What about your childhoods?”

I asked them to try to give Leslie an out seeing as i knew from reading her file that she didn't have a good one.

“I was raised by my aunt but she wasn't the nicest so i had to look after myself”

Freya told us while me and Leslie were nodding thoughtfully with polite smiles on our faces.

Keelin then looked at me and said.

“I don't remember my childhood very well, only that I had lots of fun and was surrounded by people who accepted me” And then she shrugged.

“Do you remember your parents?”

I asked them curious but realized it was a mistake when a sad expression overtook their faces.

“Sorry, sometimes i don't know when to keep my mouth shut” I am embarrassed.

“Its ok, mistakes happened,” Answered Freya while Keelin asked me.

“Do you?”

“Yes, my mother was a lawyer, my father a scientist and my aunt was a general” I say while smiling to myself.

“Your father was a scientist?” Asked Leslie.

“Yes”

I say turning to my right where she was walking next to Keelin and beside me while Freya was walking to my left.

“I didn't know, do you know science?”

Leslie asked me to make two other sets of eyes turn to me.

“Yes i do, i have a degree in multiple areas of science”

I tell them before we go quiet and start to walk in silence once more.

-----------------------------------

Freya’s point of view

After we had walked and talked around town, Keelin and I decided to invite them back to the Mikaelson manor. While we were going to my home I was a little hesitant about letting them in because I had not informed my brothers and sisters and I had no clue how they would react.

As soon as the four of us crossed the fresh hold of my home my family appeared almost immediately in front of us, eyeing the visitors to our town. Elijah, being the everlasting gentleman, stepped forward and offered his hand to Kara.

“Hello Kara, Leslie it's great to see you again”

While shaking their hands before stepping back away from them to where he was previously standing.

“Well, I feel betrayed,” Rebekah said.

“You guys have already met and now i don't get the pleasure of a individual first meeting”

She finished, making me roll my eyes at her dramatics.

“Yes sister we have already met, but that doesn't mean that you guys can't get to know each other”

Commented Elijah trying to keep the piece.

“Very well brother, i will settle for secondary introductions for now” She said dramatically.

“Shall we go to the seating room?”

Asked Katherine standing beside Rebekah while Rebekah had a firm grip around her waist.

“Yes that seems acceptable”

Said Kol before we all started moving towards the room.

-----------------------------

Kara’s point of view

When we started to walk into the seating room I accidentally tapped into a hidden power of mine which nobody knew about.

You see, I can read minds among loads of other abilities that I keep to myself. My aunt Astra told me to keep as many cards to myself while exposing enough to make your opponent feel at ease with you enough so you can find out their weakness without them ever truly knowing yours. It was Keelin that I accidentally overheard.

“Christ Kara is so cute”

“I wish i could hold her, so does my wolf”

“Yes she and Freya will be ours”

“Is there something wrong with her heart its so fast”

And then I tapped into Kols.

Her heartbeat isn't normal it's too fast,

What is she?

Elijah was next,

“I must keep an eye on them”

“I don't know if i trust them but they obviously are not normal and i cannot have them exposing us”

Is what I heard from them and a few more which makes me a little confused but I accept that they are going to need to trust me before I get any real answers. I know what I have to do to earn some trust so I step forward and begin.

“May i ask everyone's attention please”

I ask to draw everyone's eyes before I begin.

“I know that you can hear my heartbeat and find it irregular and that is because it is, i am not a human”

“Then what are you?” Asked Rebekah curiously.

“I am an Alien”

I said making various reactions dawn on them.

Rebekah, Kol and Freya looked excited.

“Keelin, Elijah and Davina looked disbelieving”

And Hope was bouncing up and down while staring at me with a smile which made me need to hold in a laugh. And I saw her mother slightly itching her way towards me tilting her head which made me realize she was listening to my heart once more.

“That is Awesome”

Said Kol while Rebekah shook her head positively.

“I don't believe you” Said Elijah

“Ok then let me prove it”

I said before hovering off the ground and sending a burst of my heat vision towards the fireplace successfully starting a fire, while shocked gasps became apparent.

“Ok, yep your an alien”

Said Elijah with an exasperated sigh before dumping himself into an armchair.

“May I ask what you are?” Asked Leslie. “I can generate electricity”

She said before holding up her hand and allowing sparks to form between her finger tips while hope started with an expression filled with wonder, and dare I say, hope.

“We’re vampires, witches and werewolves, but hope is all three” Rebekah told all of us, making us nod.

“Ok, we had those on Krypton” I said.

“What's Krypton?” Asked Hope.

“Its where I'm from, my planet”

I said standing straight waiting for the commentary that I usually receive from Alex about how freaking that is. But I am shocked as to when Divina stands and says.

“It's destroyed, isn't it?” While tears spring to her eyes.

“Yes, how do you know?” I asked her confusedly.

“I can sometimes have these intuitive moments that are correct” She explains wiping at her tears.

“Would you like to stay for dinner?” Asked Rebekah.

“MMMh," I say looking at Leslie.

“Yes please”

“Great i will inform the cook”

{...}

We sat down at a beautiful table with plates piled with food.

I was beside Elijah who was sitting at the edge, Niklaus and Freya were on the other side, then Hope and Leslie (who were awkwardly flirting trying to figure out how they fitted together which i can tell will be sisterly by how similar they are), beside me was Keelin with Freya next to her and Davina and Kol were next to them.

I was about to dig in when my phone started to ring, I excused myself and stepped outside before answering it and bringing it to my ears.

“Hello, this is Kara, who is this?” I asked.

“Hello sis!” Said Alex through the phone.

“Alex what are you doing you should be locked up”

I said in an urgent tone of voice.

“Why should i?” She asked.

“You murdered my aunt,” I told her in a seething tone.

“She deserved it”

Said Alex in a non caring tone.

“Really she did?” I asked sarcastically.

“Yes she did”

She said before anger took over me and I hung up before heading inside.

“Kara, what's wrong?”

Asked Leslie once I was back at the table.

“Alex escaped and she thinks Astra deserved it” I say in a tone full of emotion.

“Who is Alex?” Asked Elijah

“The woman who murdered my aunt, my mums identical twin, in cold blood”

I said before the table went dead silent.

-----------------------------

Lucy’s point of view

I was sitting at my desk when my phone rang and Kara's name came up on the called ID.

“Lucy,” Said Kara through the phone.

“Yes Kara”

I said confused as to the no pleasantries at the beginning of the call making me realise this is urgent.

“Alex has escaped”

Chapter Text

Alex’s point of view

It was exactly a week ago today that I arrived in New Orleans. I would have gotten my sister when I first arrived if I hadn't been kidnapped by a unhinged woman named Dahlia.

----------------------FLASHBACK------------------------

I woke up with a bag over my head, I tried to move my wrists only to start struggling against rope that had been used to restrain my wrists to a chair. I struggled harder and harder before freezing at the sound of laughing starts echoing throughout the room I was in. It was feminine and mature letting me know that it was a woman probably the same age as my mother is.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?”

questioned in a menacing tone with an edge to her voice The bag was ripped off revealing a woman with chestnut hair and brown eyes. Her hair looked soft and silky whereas her eyes looked sharp enough to cut glass and make someone melt in fear once they were laid upon them.

“Who are you?” I asked the strange woman in front of me.

“I am Dalia's and I believe we can help one another”

—————END OF FLASHBACK—————

After finding out supernatural creatures were real I was shocked.

I didn’t expect to be either, I mean my sister is an alien from another planet and here I am shocked that there is another hidden world amongst us.

We have made an agreement that I will help her deal with her ungrateful niece and she will help me with Kara.

Kara belongs with and to me, it was my family that took her in and it was my family that made her normal. She owes us for the life she has and I will not rest until she knows her place on this planet.

[...]

Kara’s point of view

Later that day Divina called a family meeting and minutes later we all stood around the kitchen and waited for her to start talking.

She was pacing the floor with an aura of fear looming around her which we could all feel.

“Davina” Kol lovingly said, “what's wrong?” he asked.

“I had a vision and what i saw will be a problem that we will have to face”

She said making Rebekah who was standing next to Katerina step forward before asking.

“What did you see?” She asked before Davina took a deep breath before saying.

“I saw your aunt Dahlia with a small red headed woman”

“Alex”

I whispered mentally cringing, when everyone turned to look at me.

“Your sister?” Asked Divina.

“Yes, she always uses people to get what she wants so i wouldn't be surprised if its her using your aunt to try and control me”

I say to them, making them nod before Elijah says.

“Well at least we know our enemy all we have to do now if hatch a plan”

He says making us nod in agreement.

“So” said Freya, taking control of planning, “We all know that she relies on her magical abilities to fight and defend herself” She said before saying.

“So all we have to do is figure out how to get through her abilities and defeat her” She ended before I asked.

“Where does her power generate from?”

But instead of an informative answer I was hoping, Elijah asked.

“What do you mean?, generate from? She is magical!”

Which baffled me because witches were well known on krypton and everyone knew that all witches had an individual magical imprint and they also had a specific place that the magic came from. I took a deep breath, angry that their mother didn't prepare them probably before explaining.

“On krypton Witches or sorceresses as they were called where well known, it was also known that there where four types of magic”

I paused and looked at them to see if they were listening and pleasantly surprised when they were giving me their full attention.

“What were they?” Keelin asked me.

“The first one is the most dangerous of all, it is emotional magic which is forbidden but is when you use your emotions to fuel your magic, if you are happy or having fun it can be beautiful, but is you are angry or hateful it can destroy worlds”

I am not surprised at the looks of horror that crossed their faces.

“Really, destroy worlds?” Heyley asked to which I nodded and said.

“Emotions are very powerful and are used to commit violence in the human world right?” I asked them, making them nod.

“Then why can't it be used in the magical world to commit the imaginable.

I say while looks of realization cover their faces.

“Why didn't we know this?” Asked Rebekah frustratingly.

Honestly I don't know if it is something a parent is meant to do to make the rules of the magical world clear to their children.

“Well that explains it, mother never liked anyone knowing more than she knew”

Said Kol making his sibling nod along with him.

“On krypton failure to inform children on typical societal rules could be punishable by execution”

I tell them just to make it clear that their mother not informing them was a crime that would be forgiven if others knew.

“Ok, what were the other types of magic?” Asked Hope.

“Natural” I say before saying.

“Natural magic is magic you are naturally born with, not develop or practice, they and their magic are one and if their magic is removed they could die because it is a part of them and linked to their soul”

“To those who have natural magic it would be a werewolf having their wolf ripped from them and being killed in front of them”

“But the other thing with Natural magic is that you are also born with a talisman like a sceptre or a birthmark that holds your magic and sort of stores it away until you need it”

I say bluntly to get my point across but regretting it when the werewolves in the room flinch.

“Type number three, Verbal, which is what Freya and Davina have, you are not magical being but you can call upon magic when you recite a spell, but without the pronunciations to cast the spell you wouldn't be able to use or more accurately borrow magic at all”

“With verbal you can't just cast an incantation either but you don't need a talisman either; it is constructed through a part of your body which the magic is most potent.”

“Then last and not least spiritual, like shape shifting dragons or healers, now do not confuse them with werewolves because werewolves are not magical but natural creatures created by the moon”

“spiritual magic is when you are once again born with magic but it doesn't live inside of you or called upon by you it is simply pure unrestrained magic”

I say before looking at them all before asking.

“Do you all understand?”

“Yes we do,” Niklaus said, nodding his head.

“Great,” I responded.

“Going back to Verbal magic darlin” Said Kol

“You said that all verbal magic needs to be concentrated through a body part?” He asked.

“Yes,” I said to him.

“Then all we have to do is figure out where Dahlia's magic is concentrated from” Said Niklaus.

“Yes i think that right, right Kara”

Said Leslie from my left, I nodded my head ‘yes’ in agreement.

“If I can see her in action, maybe I can figure it out.

“I think that is a great idea, do you have any CCTV footage?” Asked Leslie.

“We might but i would have to and see” Freya told us.

“Ok how about you go and try to acquire it while i get started on lunch” Suggested Niklaus.

“Ok “ said Freya “Come on keelin”

She says before they both leave to get the footage needed, while it was clear Klaus was barely holding it together out of anger for Daliah and his need to protect his loved ones.

Two hours later Freya walks through the door with Keelin on her heels with the tape in hand just as they sit down to lunch.

“Hello sister,” Elijah said, indicating the seat next to him.

“Please sit down”

She walked over before putting the tape on her side and she and Keelin took their seats and started to eat with us.

“Kara,” Said Keelin, addressing me with a soft smile.

“I thought maybe you could tell us about Alex.”

She said to make me agree since the best way to defeat an enemy is to know them.

“What do you want to know?” I asked them.

“Everything from the day you met till now” Said Divina.

“Well when I met Alex…..”

I told them everything from the childhood bullying and racist comments about the way i acted or where i was from and her repetitive language telling me i didn't belong their and then i moved to college and Alex visited only to bully me,

Then moved on to her drinking problems and how she would treat me like I was stupid and couldn't smell the alcohol.

To her working for the DEO and not telling me she worked for an organization who specializes in kidnapping, experimenting, torturing and killing aliens before I worked there. They were disgusted.

“I'm sorry but how can she call herself your sister and treat you so badly?” Elijah asked.

“Honestly i was oblivious to her sick self before she murdered my aunt and then it's like i shook her off me and started seeing the real her” I said in a firm voice.

“Well i am glad you did”

Said Leslie with a smile and watery eyes that had happened at the beginning of my Alex debrief.

“May you tell me and Leslie about Daliah?”

I asked them cautiously knowing that it was a Gray area. I was surprised when Freya was the one to speak next but what she said disgusted me.

“My mother sold me to Daliah as a slave for her being able to have children and keep her magic”

My world stilled and a sick feeling came to my stomach and what felt like glass went up my spine.

Beside me I heard Leslie gasp in disbelief before running to the toilet and throwing up violently.

“She sold you?”

Asked Leslie angrily when she returned dishevel with a disgusted hateful look on her face.

“Yes she did” Answered Freya in a sour tone.

“She used me as a slave for years and then put us under a sleeping spell for a thousand years so that we could grow powerful in stasis and reach our full potential” She says, making me frown before saying.

“That is extremely dangerous, i am shocked you survived”

“What do you mean, survived?” She asked me.

“Well it is true that your body can build up power but someone with verbal magic should not have too much power at once otherwise your head and vocal cords can explode” I explained to them.

“Really, why?” Elijah asked me.

“Well your vocal cords can explode because it is a bit like a filter for magic, when you recite an incantation not all of the magic you have built up goes into the spell so some of it stays in your vocal cords for the next spell and then it renews with each spell so that even know you have magic in you chords it is weak enough to not damage them, unless it builds”

“Ok” Leslie said, nodding before I added.

“And your head an explode from madness as the magic grows and infects you”

“Wow” Said Hayley.

“That is a lot to take in” She slumped back in her chair and went silent.

BANG

The kitchen door slammed open and three of its hinges, and in the place of it stood Alex and Daliah standing their glaring at us.

“Kara it's time to come home”

Where the last words before all hell broke loose.

Magic flew everywhere, Leslie's sparks grew and tried electrocuting Daliah only to realize that she was absorbing the blasts.

Meanwhile Alex was advancing on me with a kryptonite sword in hand and a glare upon her face, she was dressed in standard DEO uniform and had her hair cut off to a short boyish cut.

“Give up now Kara and i will not harm you”

She said in a way that reminded me of a chipmunk eating, her face was beat red, her eyes commercially wide and her cheeks flushed and puffed out like she had been slapped.

“Alex, you can try all you want to be superior but to be frank i am tired of your temper tantrums and it is time for a time out young missy”

I say in the most demeaning voice I can conjure making her momentarily humiliated before rage and anger take over her features once more.

Her next moves where erratic swinging the sword with no aim or target in mind, which lead me to dodge it and successfully may i add,

well at least before i heard a scream coming from behind me making me turn towards it but only to realize that half of alex sword was already there, how did that happen?

Freya’s point of view

Me and the others had taken down Daliah and knocked her out when we all turned to kara just in time to see the sword thrust through her stomach in an upwards motion.

A cry ripped from my throat making Kara turn to face me, still alive for what could be the last time before she fell limp against the sword with Alex towering above her with the bloodied sword still in hand.

Elijah moved fast and knocked her unconscious before moving towards Kara and picking her up before placing her on the table.

He began yo frantically search her for injuries, but only to find them healed and the breathing stop,

I am confused because earlier she said that Kryptonite was the one thing that could kill her so why wasn't she dead?.

I was so confused before a portal opened and what looked like a robot came staggering out of it.

“Kara” It cried when it saw the Kryptonian lying limp on the table.

“What has happened to you?”

He asked before a man appeared the same way as the robot did.

“She was stabbed Kal-Ex”

Replied the man before he walked up to Kara and squinted his eyes making me know that he was X-raying her.

“Will she be ok?” I asked him.

“Yes she will, my niece is a fighter” He said before I clung to Keelin and tears streamed down our faces.

“Good” and “thank god” were said at the same time by everyone in the group while we stayed quiet holding one another and staring at Kara like she might disappear.

{...}

It had been four hours since Kara was stabbed and she was still laying in a coma.

Keelin and i hadn't left her side out of a deep feeling of care and need to protect her we both knew what it was because in the two weeks we had spent planning for Alex and dahlia to attack we had developed feelings for the young alien woman and where hours away from confessing how we felt before this happened.

A while later Elijah had come up to us and asked.

“You love her, don't you”

We froze and tensed up before releasing a breath simultaneously before I admitted it.

“Yes, yes we do” I said before he nodded his head and walked off.

Freya's Point of view

Kara laid unconscious peacefully asleep which was shocking seeing as she was stabbed by a kryptonite sword by her own sister. Me and Keelin refused to leave her side, and we wanted to be able to hear her when Elijah forced us to sleep so made a bed in the room big enough for us to fit in.

Elijah had simply rolled his eyes but didn't comment, which I was grateful for. I may care for Kara but I still have a reputation to keep intact at the end of the day. She has been unconscious for a few days now but Leslie told me that she only needs sunlight and she will be ok soon.

Hope came to me and told me that she and Leslie have formed a sisterly bond after discussing what they wanted from each other at length and realized that it seemed more natural for the two of them then any other bond which I am grateful for because I wasn't ready for my little niece to grow up even though she is twenty five.

Elijah has gone to take Alex to the place that Kara works and is handing her off to a Lucy lane after she called repeatedly until one of us picked up and explained the situation while somehow keeping out the vampire secret all together. Rebekah has taken up cooking duties and Keelin and I have been watching over Kara.

I have read to Kara both nights to make sure that her brain functions still work and even know she is unconscious. Sometimes her mouth would twitch or her nose would. But then as I put my book down for the third night I couldn't help but grasp her hand and whisper so quietly.

“Kara please come back to us, i want to show you how much me and Keelin love you”

Before standing up and walking away from her I heard a very small voice ask.

“Who are you?”

Making my blood freeze while I slowly turned to face her and gasping when my blue eyes locked onto her blue eyes.

“Who are you?” She asked me again when I did not respond.

“I am Freya Mikaelson a friend of yours Kara”

I say to her while Keelin walks into the room and over to stand by me.

“I don't know Freya,” She says.

“Where is Alex?” She asks, making me flinch at her sister's name.

“She is in prison for murdering your aunt Astra and I believe you have memory loss”

Says Keelin going into doctor mode. Leslie walks into the room next but as soon as Kara sees her she tries to use her speed only to realize that her powers are temporarily gone.

“You solar flared Kara after Alex stabbed you”

She says to her, making kara shake her head and repeat.

“No, no, no… she wouldn't” She insisted.

“She did Kara and i am sorry to say but she isn't your sister anymore you disowned her for various reasons but they were mostly because of her behaviour since you arrived on earth”

Said Leslie walking carefully over to the Kryptonian like she was approaching a wild animal.

“Come on Kara you should take another nap”

She said, leading Kara to the room that she was staying in.

---------------

Kara’s point of view

I awoke in a soft bed with my head encased in a pillow. I sat up straight only to find a pounding headache and a cup of water and a paracetamol beside me. I was about to discard it when I realized that I had solar flared because of Alex. My head became more painful as I started to remember what happened and my head became a war ground for my thoughts.

Alex, she stabbed me, intentionally, she tried to kill me, are the Mikaelsons ok?. My thoughts were swirling making me feel light headed and weak, I threw my body back onto the mattress while holding my head with my hands as tears sprung to my eyes. I was about to try and sit up again when Freya appeared at the door.

“Freya” I said in an emotional voice.

“You remember?”

She asks surprised, making me nod and her speed over to my bed to sit on it next to me.

“Its ok Kara we are here for you”

She said making me feel grateful that this kind woman is helping me through this.

“Thank you Freya” I said to her,

“You're welcome, Would you like something to eat?”

She asked me, making me nod before saying.

“And a drink to please”

She nodded before leaving me to rest while she made it. When she brought it up I almost squealed with joy at seeing a big belly burger making me reach my hands out while making gimme gestures and downing it as soon as she allowed me to before once again falling back to sleep.

Kara’s point of view

I got a call from Lucy earlier this morning telling me that they have made Alex’s court trial as soon as i got there so that they could get her processed and locked away which made myself Leslie and surprisingly all of the Mikaelsons get into cars and immediately start to drive to national city so that we could get this all sorted out as soon as possible. I sat by the window staring out of it.

I am constantly going back in my mind and going over what Alex did over and over again obsessively while reliving that look in her eye as she ran the sword through my stomach. I haven't told anyone this but when she stabbed me she had this look of Hatred in her eyes that was feral making me scared for her.

I am strangely glad Alex is locked up so that she can't hurt anyone else and will be kept away from people which will keep them safe from her, but I am sorry that this has to happen. I wish that the Alex I thought I knew was the real her.

But this is for the best.

Elijah told me that before he gave Alex to Lucy he wiped her memories of Vampires so that she wouldn't tell anyone which I personally believe was the best option. Humans are always afraid of what they don't understand.

I feel hollow and drained from the last few days and I have no idea how to move forward.

Sometimes I feel as if I can still feel my Aunt, I loved her with my soul, on Krypton she is the only one that didn't push me beyond my capabilities and allowed and encouraged me to be a kid and not just study like my parents did.

The last time I slept I woke up screaming from a night terror of both Alex and my planet which merged into one, Freya and keelin were both at my side in an instant.

But the weird thing was that when I was calm Freya told me that they loved me after I apologized for being a burden but I had a memory of hearing it while I was in a coma and I am not sure what to do with it.

I am grateful and I do like them but I am not sure if they like me in the same way. We are sitting next to each other and even though I am not looking at them I can feel them looking at me and their eyes burning into my cheek.

We arrived in record time to the courthouse and met Lucy (I changed into my Supergirl persona using super speed) on the steps before we all went in and took our seats. The judge came out of the back room and came to stand on the bench, making everyone stand as well. He picked up the hammer and banged it three times before saying.

“Court is in session, Agent Danvers is being Accused for Treason, attempted murder and murder”

He said looking into Alex's eyes before taking a seat while everyone followed and took their seats as well.

“Ok there has been hard evidence as well as CCTV footage submitted for evidence which show that Alex danvers is in fact guilty, we are here to determine how long her sentence will be” Said the judge before commanding.

“Supergirl please take the stand”

He says to me, making me rise and make my way at a human pace to the seat next to him which was a bit lower. I sunk down into the chair and turned to face him after making brief eye contact with Alex who was glaring at me.

“Miss please, may you tell us of your experience with Miss Danvers please?”

He asked me before waiting for an answer.

“I guess, Agent Danvers was always there fighting beside me and helping me finish a lot of missions but sometimes she would act unprofessionally and goading bad guys into fighting her when they would be minutes away from giving up.” I tell him before he asks.

“And how will he do that?” He asked me.

“Like whenever we needed to calm Lex Luthor down she would say thing like ”Do what we say or I'll shoot you”

I say making people in the room gasp.

“Ok anything else?” He asks.

“No, I haven't worked for her very long so it is just my aunt and this insistence that has happened so far” I say, making him nod before saying.

“You may return to your seat”

The day was filled with different people and agents taking the stand while also some prisoners that we had put away which claimed that Alex used foul play were also heard. When we were done I felt sick at what I had learned and used my speed to get to the bathroom before dropping the contents of my stomach down the toilet.

“Kara, are you in here?”

Asked the voice of Keelin who obviously followed me.

“Kara, we are worried,” Said Freya.

“I'm here”

I called out to them. They immediately appeared at my side, punching my hair behind my head and rubbing my back.

“God hunny i am so sorry”

Said Keelin.

“Don't be,” I told them. “It's not your fault”

“They sighed in unison then I lifted myself away from the toilet and walked to the sink before washing my hands.”

“Would you like to leave?”

Asked Keelin, I nodded my head and they followed me out telling me that the others would stay and tell me what I missed afterwards. They took me to a restaurant and we sat down at a booth. Me and Keelin one side and Freya the other. We ordered out meals and dug in quietly when they arrived but halfway through I asked the question that had been on my mind obsessively.

“Do you wanna go on a date with me”

I said it so fast that I wanted to smack myself and down casted my eyes before lifting my head in shock when I heard them laughing.

“God yes”

“Yes God”

Came out of their mouths before they turned to look at one another and burst out laughing. We all smiled at one another before Freya’s phone beeped making her check it before saying.

“Alex will be in jail for the rest of her life”

And then dropped the subject as we planned for our date. The night was spent giggling and laughing at stories that we told each other and individual embarrassing moments.

20 years Later

Keelin, Freya and Kara are married and have seven children. Elijah and Elena Gilbert got married just after Rebekah and Katherine did which annoyed Katherine which Rebekah found hilarious.

Kol and Davina are against marriage but have a family and have settled down in Greece in their  own castle. Hope and Leslie are still friends and Hope turned Leslie into a vampire only a year after they met.

Leslie becomes closer to Lucy and turns her before she marries her and Hope is just cool with being her own person for now. And Miss Grant, who had been a vampire this whole time joins our family and becomes a mum to us all along with Carter as a brother.

Every month they get together for a blood BBQ but have decided that they want to live separate lives with their families and become individuals with their significant others.
