#Ruby Arias

[comic-book-jawns]

Shot Clock

“Yes. Why?”

Ruby had been thrilled when Lena had floated the idea of her and Esme coming to visit them in Metropolis while Alex and Kelly were away on their own weekend trip.

For one, she’d decided when she first met the younger girl two years ago that they were cousins. And while she’d kept good on that promise, she usually only got to see the soon-to-be seven-year-old over FaceTime.

For two, while they’d never talked about it directly, Ruby knew Mom had dreamed of having more kids, especially when she and Alex had gotten so close to something. So she was feeling the farthest thing from jealous as Esme — who, according to Alex, was more clingy with her godmother than her parents — continued dozing contentedly in Mom’s arms as they walked up the subway steps.

For three, watching Lena Luthor take public transportation was always funny, mostly because of the mock glares her aunt would give her for giggling.

For four… well, it was possible she’d let Mom start the conversation for a reason. Maybe other fifteen-year-olds got to pull one over on their moms all the time. But their moms weren’t Sam Arias.

“You know what a shot clock is?”

“My niece’s best friend’s crush’s cousin almost made it into the Final Four.”

Lena looped her arm through Ruby’s as she said it, the pride ringing clear in her voice; and whatever brief smugness she felt melted away as Mom simply smiled at them. In that mom way.

“Anyway, Mom asked because we’re putting you on the clock to shoot your shot with Kara.”

Despite their height — and, realistically, strength — difference now, Ruby was still jerked to a stop as Lena froze just as they stepped onto the sidewalk. She managed not to giggle at her aunt again, though, even as Mom winked at her over Lena’s head before directing them out the path of their fellow passengers coming up the stairs.

“That’s right. You’ve been tapped in, kiddo.”

Unsurprisingly, Mom’s grin only widened as Lena attempted to level her with not a mock glare.

“I’m 30.”

“And I’m 36. You’re never gonna win that point, babe.”

Ruby couldn’t help smiling as her aunt’s mouth twitched up shyly, even as she grumbled.

“You also seem to be implying that you two have been trying to get us together.”

Mom hummed mildly, but the glint in her eye was vibrant, even in the dusk light.

“Rubes, what say you?”

Ruby hummed in turn; and Lena angled to face her, eyebrows rising in warning — Ruby assumed anyway. Unfortunately for the CEO, Ruby could only see her as Aunt Lena.

“I think this might clear that up. Kara?”

Lena gaped, entirely uncharacteristically; and Ruby probably would’ve felt a little guilty if their arms weren’t still linked. Then again, maybe Lena was really too shocked to pull away.

When a minute passed, though, Lena huffed. Like she’d been holding her breath.

“Look, I appreciate that you want me to find happiness with someone.”

“Not someone.”

It was Mom who interjected, like she’d read Ruby’s mind. Though Ruby didn’t fail to notice that Mom wasn’t looking at either of them.

Lena did, however. Too busy rolling her eyes, entirely characteristically.

“Kara —”

“Yes?”

Lena dislodged their arms then, jolting as she spun around. The timing worked out well, though, allowing Ruby to accept the Noonan’s take-out bag from Kara before the superhero turned her attention to Lena.

Only for Lena to turn her attention back to Ruby, eyebrows now raised in question.

Which was pretty fair, admittedly. But Ruby was also pretty sure this would be, like, the least opportune time to explain a tradition born of her and Mom letting Kara back into their good graces.

“Thanks, Kara! We’ll let you two catch up.”

“We just talked this morning.”

Lena’s tone was utterly dry but also unmistakably resigned, and Ruby barely resisted the urge to smirk as she and Mom started to back away.

“Oh? Who were you texting on the subway then?”

Mom had such no such qualms, of course, shuffling Esme in her arms just to hold out a hand for a high-five at her own quip.

Cringe, to be sure. But Lena was the one blushing. And, well, what kind of daughter would Ruby be if she left Mom hanging?

She just had to hope that promptly darting forward to hug Lena softened the blow.

“Thirty seconds. Staring now.”

** One Year Later **

���She never would’ve sat like that before, you know?”

“Before what?”

Ruby pictured that crinkle forming between Kara’s eyebrows. But she couldn’t see it for herself — still focused on her other aunt, who nearly headbutted her maid of honor as she laughed at something Kara’s said.

And, yes, there were half-drunk wine and liquor glasses within her reach, even with Mom’s arms around her waist. But she knew for a fact that none at that table, or any other, were Lena’s.

And then there was the fact that there were currently three empty seats at the table, including the one right next to Mom’s.

“Before you.”

Ruby did turn to Kara then, needing her to understand.

And judging by the way Kara’s face lit up with a kind of awe as she glanced at her wife again… before heading back to the dance floor with a small smile, leaving Lena none the wiser, she did.

Baby Danvers who is Kara's bio little sister sent to earth with Kara in the pod as a baby. Has a crush on Ruby Arias, they bond over being Kryptonian and teenagers not allowed to use their powers in public. Please 🙏

(love your work)

Everything Has Changed.

Supergirl. Baby Danvers. Kara Danvers x Sister!Reader, Alex Danvers x Sister!Reader, Ruby Arias x Reader. Sam Arias.

Word Count: 2310.

"No," Kara repeats, speaking to you as if you were a toddler. "You can't join the track team when you have super speed. You know that."

"You just won't let me do anything!" You scowl, showing your sister how upset you are. Usually, that's all it takes, but when it comes to your powers, Kara never budges.

"Yeah, because it's not fair to other people, Y/N! You have superpowers," Alex chimes in from the kitchen. You roll your eyes, knowing this was bound to happen. The open concept in Kara's apartment really doesn't help when you're trying to have a conversation with just one of them.

"What good are all these powers if I'm not allowed to use them?" You turn on your heel, quickly going to your bedroom and slamming the door behind you. You hear a crack in the wood and curse under your breath.

"If you break another door, you won't get a replacement!" Alex yells, and you grunt in frustration.

God! You break a few things around the house or bump into someone and break their arm on the street a couple of times and now you're treated as a menace! Sure, it doesn't help that your bedroom door looks like it might turn into ashes if you slam it one more time, but most of the time it isn't on purpose. 

Do you really want to join the track team? Not necessarily. What you really want is a way to use your powers without Kara and Alex yelling at you. You can't wait until you're an adult.

When you were younger, you couldn't wait to get your powers. When you and Kara crashed on this planet, she was already a teenager, so she immediately got all of them—the flying, super speed, super strength—everything you always wanted. But since you were a baby when you came to Earth, you had to wait until puberty.

Now, you finally have them. You can fly around the world, save people, hear all the gossip at school, and yet your sisters insist that you mustn't use them.

"How did Eliza do it?" Kara asks, and you put your headphones on mute to hear the conversation better. "I seriously don't remember what she used to do when it was me."

"Well, if I remember correctly, it was basically the same," Alex says, and you can't help but roll your eyes again. Perfect Kara Danvers wasn't so perfect after all.

"Eliza was more composed after it, though." Kara takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself. You slide your glasses down to look at them moving to the couch. "Did I mess up her life by bringing her to live with me? Eliza said she wanted Y/N to stay there."

"Kara," Alex reaches for Kara's arm, giving it a gentle stroke, "you wanted to bring her here so you could teach her about her powers, to help her feel how normal it is to have them. Besides, you promised your mom you'd take care of her."

"Alex, I know all the reasons, but what if they're not enough? Having me fly around, saving people, using my powers daily, and not being able to use hers—I don't think it's helping as much as I thought it would."

Alex is silent for a moment. "You know, Sam has told me the same thing about Ruby. Maybe we need to get them together, so she can see that even though her experience feels singular, it really isn't."

"That's a good idea, actually." Kara grabs her phone right away. "I'll ask Sam if they're free this weekend. Oh! And Lena can come too."

You smirk — of course Kara would want to bring Lena everywhere.

Kara knocks on your door a while later. You take your headphones off and watch as she slowly approaches, testing the waters. "I'm sorry you can't join the track team. You do understand why, right?"

You sit up in bed and give her a soft, "Yeah" so she knows you're no longer upset. She sits in front of you, grabbing one of your stuffed animals on the bed so she has something to do with her hands.

It takes a couple of seconds and a long breath from her to add, "I love you, baby. I'm just trying to protect you." Kara blinks at you, and you can see how sad she is about fighting with you all the time.

It's not fair that she had to take care of you all your life. Sure, Eliza was an incredible mother figure to both of you, but Kara is 13 years older than you, and she promised your mom she'd care for you when Alura put you both in that pod. And that's what she's done her entire life. She fed you, changed you, taught you both English and Kryptonese, told you about your planet, and showed you its place in the sky. She's the blood relative who truly raised you (sorry, Kal, but it's true).

As soon as she graduated from college and got a job, she brought you to National City to live with her. Eliza wasn't happy about it, but you were over the moon. You'd never say this out loud, but deep down you know Kara is your mom. Not Alura, not Eliza, not even Alex (though she sometimes feels like one). Kara cradled your baby self in her arms all those years ago, and she has yet to let go.

You throw yourself into her arms, hugging her with all your strength, grateful you can't hurt her with it. "I know. I'm sorry." Tears threaten to leave your eyes, and you swallow them. "Kar, I – I know you're doing more than you should as a sister. And so I don't want to be a burden to you."

"You are not a burden!" She squeezes you tighter. "You could never be a burden, little one. You are my whole world." Kara holds your face between her hands, her eyes full of tears, and when you look at her, you know exactly why. "You are the most important person to me in any universe. That's why I don't want you in any kind of danger."

"I know, but I just want to make you proud."

"Oh, baby. I couldn't be prouder of the girl you are, trust me. But we still need some rules about using your powers. You're all I have left," she reassures you.

"I mean, did I die at some point?" Alex asks, leaning against the doorway.

You smile. "Pretty sure you're a ghost, and this house is haunted, yeah."

Alex opens her arms and joins the hug. "You'll have a nice weekend with Ruby and will stop breaking the doors, right?"

You crack a smirk. "I'll try. No promises."

They let you fly to Metropolis, and you appreciate it, even if it's just a less-than-five-minute flight. You get to carry Alex, while Kara carries Lena—because, of course, Lena was coming.

You've met Sam before, though you don’t remember much about it. However, you’re sure you’ve never met Ruby. Usually, you dislike when people dictate who you should or shouldn’t be friends with, but that changes when you meet Ruby.

You love her excitement about things, which mirrors your own enthusiasm, often dimmed by other teenagers who want to look cool. Ruby is nice, has superpowers, and is best friends with her mom (which is similar to your relationship with your older sisters). So when Sam says you’ll have to share a room with Ruby, you’re thrilled.

It's refreshing to have someone you can confide in about your powers, your frustration with not being able to use them freely, and how much you love your sisters despite their misunderstandings.

"I know! Like, okay, I get it. I can't use my powers to gain an advantage in life, but maybe I want to play volleyball!"

"Or join the track team!" You agree, pointing at her. Ruby’s smile widens, and you stare up at her from your spot on the sleeping bag on the floor.

"And honestly, she gets so mad when I break something, like it’s my fault I have super strength." Ruby makes space for you in bed and invites you up with a gesture. You promptly sit in front of her without a word, too preoccupied with your complaints to talk.

"And yes, I understand it's hard to explain why my door keeps breaking, but I’m a teenager! I’m supposed to slam doors behind me."

Ruby laughs in agreement. "It probably doesn’t help when I break things at school, though."

"One time I stopped suddenly in P.E. class, and a kid running behind me ran into me. He broke his nose. I didn’t even move." You give her a sheepish smile. "That was hard to explain."

"That’s nothing! We were playing dodgeball, and I sent someone flying across the room." Your eyes widen at the image. "I was banned from P.E. for weeks, and everyone started calling me 'Wonder Chick.'"

"Uh," You smile. "Did you tell them they got the planets mixed up?"

"Tried to. Mom wouldn’t let me."

You laugh loudly, and although Ruby laughs too, she shushes you so none of the adults come to check on you.

You talk all night, and as the hours pass, the connection between you deepens. You can’t believe how easy it is to open up to Ruby, sharing things you’ve never felt comfortable saying before. After showing her where Krypton would have been if it still existed and teaching her a few Kryptonian words, you both lie side by side on the roof, gazing at the early morning sky.

The sun rises, casting an orange glow that makes Ruby's chestnut eyes shine even more than when she’s telling a story. You think it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. Her eyes feel like coming home.

The conversation eventually slows, and a comfortable silence settles between you. You’re both exhausted, but there’s a sense of peace that neither of you wants to break.

“I’m really glad I came here,” you murmur, your eyes heavy with sleep.

"Yeah," She scoots a little closer. "I’m really glad you came too. I’ve never met anyone who understands me so much."

"I know! Same." You bite your lower lip, looking at Ruby's lips. "I think you might be one of my favorite people already." Your cheeks flush when you realize what you just said. "Is that weird?"

"No." She shakes her head, eyes flicking between your eyes and lips. "It can’t be weird to meet your soulmate."

Soulmate? Oh.

"May I ask what you two are doing out here?" Kara’s voice nearly makes you jump out of your skin.

"Shit." You place a hand on your chest, checking if it’s still there. "Kara! You scared us!"

"You two should be in bed!" You open your mouth to argue, but your sister cuts you off. "Come on, go get some sleep. You guys can talk more before we have to leave."

Your face drops at the thought of leaving, and you see the same sadness on Ruby’s face when Kara’s eyes soften. "You guys will see each other again. Rao, why are teenagers so dramatic?" When she doesn’t see you moving, she adds, "Bed! Now!"

You obey her orders, Ruby slipping into bed and you into the uncomfortable sleeping bag on the floor. You drift off quickly, a sense of contentment washing over you. Despite only getting a couple of hours of sleep, you don’t regret it one bit.

"Ruby! Y/N! Come down for breakfast!" Sam calls from downstairs. Even though more sleep sounds tempting, breakfast sounds even better. You both rush to the kitchen.

"Oh, cool sweater, by the way!" Ruby points at the "Power to the Girls" slogan, and you beam.

"Thanks," Kara’s voice comes from the couch. You can see her snuggled up with a mug and Lena, but she’s not looking at you. "It’s mine. And no, I didn’t let her borrow it."

You glance down at the sweater. "It was mixed with my laundry. I thought you’d given it to me!"

"Nice try." Her voice comes a second later. "Stop stealing my clothes."

You shrug. "I tried."

The rest of the day passes in a dreamlike haze. You find yourself wishing your sisters had thought of this sooner, but you’re incredibly grateful they finally did. Meeting Ruby, your soulmate, has changed everything. For the first time, you don’t feel so alone with your powers. You have someone who truly understands you.

When it’s time to say goodbye, you feel a pang of sadness, but you know this isn’t the end.

"You’ll come visit next weekend, right?" You ask again, even though both Sam and Ruby have reassured you several times.

"Yeah. And you’ll text before that, right?"

"As soon as I get home!" You smile proudly. "So in like, five minutes."

"Cool."

You can’t suppress your smile as you look at her one last time before taking flight. "Cool."

As you fly back home, you feel a sense of peace you hadn’t expected. Meeting Ruby is one of the best things that has happened in your life, and you’re already certain of it. Maybe your sisters are right about some things, but that doesn’t mean you’re alone. You now have Ruby, someone who understands you like no one else ever will.

You: Photo 📸 You: Guess what? It turns out you can break doors when you're too happy too! Rubes: Love the pic. Alex looks thrilled 😆 Rubes: Please get a new one before I visit.

You smile at your phone. For the first time in a long while, you feel that things are going to be okay. Your life isn’t as bad as you thought. In fact, it might just be pretty great.

A Christmas Miracle-Chapter 4

Fandom: Supergirl

Characters: Lena Luthor, Kara Danvers, Ruby Arias, Santa Claus, Streaky the cat, Lillian Luthor, Alex Danvers, Cupid

Summary: After her last two breakups, Lena doesn't think there is love out there for her. However, will Ruby's wish to Santa make Lena a believer in miracles?

Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3

Kara and Lena stared at each other like deer caught in headlights in complete silence for several minutes. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Kara felt a great deal of emotions. She was excited to see Lena. She had been thinking of the raven-haired beauty all day. However, she was scared out of her mind. 

What do I say to her? It was so messed up the way we left things last time with the shoot-out.

However, a more mortifying thought came to Kara as she slowly looked down at the keys in her hand. 

I have her keys in my hands. How do I explain that? I could tell her that Santa wanted me to find her after the mugging to make sure she got this. Yeah, that sounds good….or does it? What if she doesn’t believe Santa sent me? What if she thinks I have ill intention….

As Kara spiraled, Streaky looked up at his owner with mild amusement. He looked over to Lena who was in a similar state. Streaky shook his head and wiggled out of Kara’s arm, jotted over to Lena, started to purr loudly, and rubbed against her leg. 

Suddenly, both women were shaken out of their inner turmoil and noticed their surroundings. 

“Streaky, don’t do that!” shrilled Kara as she started to jog over to Lena and the cat. 

Lena chuckled as she picked up Streaky and started to cuddle with him. Lena looked up at Kara with a smile which caused Kara to stop dead in her tracks and blush. 

She looks so pretty when she smiles. 

Lena blushed as she looked down at Streaky and said, “Don’t be mad at Streaky. He is just what I need after the day I had.”

Kara frowned and asked. “Are you okay?”

Lena tried to chuckle, quickly wiped a tear from her face, and said, “Nothing that a bottle of scotch couldn’t cure.”

Kara came closer and pressed her hand on Lena’s shoulder which caused her to blush. 

“I know I am not scotch, but I would be happy to lend an ear to listen.”

Lena looked at Kara conflicted and asked, “Are you sure? I don’t want to derail any plans you have.”

Kara chuckled and said, “Streaky and I don’t have any set plans.”

Streaky looked up at Kara with narrow eyes, ears flattened downward, and purred loudly.

Kara rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, “Food will be included in whatever we do Streaky.”

Streaky purred happily as he pounced back into Kara’s arm.

Lena chuckled and said, “If you guys are sure, I would enjoy the company.” 

Kara beamed and said, “If you like, we can go to my apartment, and I can brew us some coffee.”

Lena smiled and said, “That sounds perfect. I can drive us.” Lena smirked at Kara and said, “As long as you can hand back the keys, which I am curious about how you ended up with by the way.”

Kara chuckled hesitantly and said, “It’s a long story. The short version is that Santa sent me in your direction.”

Lena looked at Kara baffled.

Kara looked at Lena mortified and exclaimed, “I know how it sounds, but it’s true! I was over at the park and….”

Lena stared at her hesitantly for a moment.

It can’t be the same Santa, can it?

Lena quickly shook her head, slightly smiled, and said, “No, it just sounds really eventful, and I would love to hear more about it on the way back to your place. Let’s head out.”

Kara smiled brightly and said, “I would love that.”

Streaky purred loudly and rubbed up against Kara’s face. 

Lena chuckled and said, “It looks like Streaky agrees too.”

Kara chuckled and said, “Streaky is just happy that he is about to be fed.”

Streaky nodded in agreement. 

Lena cackled as she, Kara, and Streaky got in the car and drove off.

When she wakes up to a whole life she has no memory of, and which has now been altered irrevocably, a lot of work is needed to deal with the fallout. As someone who has never been known for healthy coping mechanisms, this is a big ask. But…if you don’t remember who you were, can you learn to be someone different?

Pretty much AU as while this draws from the main beats of cannon, Alex’s history gets a hefty rewrite.

Chapter 22

Summary: Alex is as much of a hero as her sister, if not more so, as a mere human. So why is that word so hard for her to say?

Note: Sorry for the long wait guys! I have been suffering from an assortment of medical issues the last couple of months and is still ongoing. I used to be able to do multiple stories in a week, but it just took me two months to come out with this chapter with everything going on. I won't be able to go back to how I was doing things weekly, but I hope to be able to come out with another chapter in a shorter amount of time. Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy what happens next!

Kara stared lovingly at Lena sleeping peacefully next to her. She lightly traced with her fingers the freckles along Lena’s back. 

I have never been this happy before!

Kara happily stared at Lena for a couple of minutes until Lena started to stir.

Lena yawned and asked, “Have you been staring at me all night?”

Kara chuckled and said, “No, only for the last half hour.”

Lena turned around so that she was facing Kara and caressed her face.

Lena smirked and asked, “Do you like what you see?”

Kara leaned into Lena to kiss her on the lips which caused Lena to purr in contentment.

After a couple of minutes, Kara leaned back and said, “I enjoyed every breathtaking sight of you.”

Lena blushed and said, “You know the way to a girl’s heart.”

Kara smirked and said, “I hope amongst other things as well after last night.”

Lena chuckled while she swatted playfully Kara’s arm and said, “You are incorrigible.”

Kara chuckled and cuddled up against Lena and said, “You know you love it.”

Lena smiled while caressing Kara’s face and said, “That I do.”

Lena leaned in and kissed Kara. They held in each other’s embrace until Kara leaned back and sighed. 

As Kara lazily started to trace the freckles along Lena’s shoulder, she said, “If it wasn’t for the STEM panel today, I would stay here with you all day.”

Lena smiled and said, “I would rather stay in bed with you too, but this is a good cause. I am honored that Barry asked me to participate in this.”

Kara smiled and said, “Me too. It is nice to work with Barry on something that doesn’t revolve around a crisis.”

Lena smiled and said, “Hopefully, this is a sign of more things to come. Maybe, Flash and Supergirl could do an event at the hospital.”

Kara pouted and asked, “Getting tired of little old me huh?”

Lena looked at Kara mortified and said, “It is nothing like that…We work so well together….It is just that I was talking to Sam and she suggested maybe building up a rooster of heroes for the hospital especially since you have a friendship with the Flash and possibly the Bat family….I knew I should have kept this thought to myself….Damn it…..”

Kara quickly placed a finger on Lena’s lips which startled her into silence. 

Kara smirked and said, “You are so cute when you are flustered.”

Lena pouted and said, “You’re teasing me aren’t you.”

Kara chuckled while pulling Lena in closer and kissing her on the forehead and said, “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist.”

Lena turned away and pouted more. 

Kara chuckled and cuddled Lena closer to her and asked, “Would it make you feel better that I have talked to Barry and members of the Bat-family and they have agreed to help with any event related to the hospital? All they would need is a heads up.”

Lena looked at Kara surprised and asked, “Really?”

Kara smiled while caressing Lena’s face and said, “Really. They all see how much good that you are doing in society and want to help.” Kara leaned forward and kissed Lena on the lips and whispered in her ears, “Plus, they see how crazy I am about you.”

Lena blushed and said, “I didn’t realize.”

Kara smiled while caressing Lena’s face and said, “I wish you could see  your own brilliance.”

Lena blushed while looking down shyly and said, “Keep saying things like that and I will end up with a big ego.”

Kara chuckled and said, “Let’s just start off by using our collective egos to inspire future girls in STEM.”

As Kara started to get up from the bed, she stretched, put on a robe, and said, “I can make us breakfast while you get ready.”

Lena looked at Kara coyly and said, “Or we could both take a shower together. Save on water and energy.”

(The Long Awaited Death Of The Other Most Hated Villain Lex Luthor)

Lex: Samantha, my dear sister, what do you think you are doing?

Mon El: stopping you

(Samantha’s transferring her magic to Kara. And both of them are screaming in pain in the process)

Nyxly: no. No that isn’t how this is supposed to work. You cannot transfer magic from one person to another.

Mon El: maybe in the fifth dimension. But my wife and Sovereign are kryptonian. The rules are different for them

Nyxly: NO! I will not let this happen!

Mon El (slowly walking towards her): it’s already happening Nyxly. Supergirl is getting the power upgrade needed to beat you and Lex. And I will have her back every, single, step of the way.

(Nyxly screams in fury and sends multiple blasts of her Allstone powered magic at Mon El’s chest. He’s not even remotely affected by any of it)

Nyxly (terrified): why?!?! WHY WON’T YOU DIE?!?!

Mon El: I’m a Daxamite “your highness”. You people always get us two mixed up. Oh. And before I forget. Dreamer, Manhunter, Guardian, Querl. Could you please provide cover for Supergirl and Sovereign while I take out the trash.

Nia: on it!

Nyxly: what do you mean traAAAAHHHH!!!!

(Mon El’s grabbed her by the shoulders and flown up onto the top of a building with Nyxly in tow)

Nyxly: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!

Mon El: what I should have done back in the Phantom Zone.

(He unceremoniously drops her off the building, lets her fall for a little while before flying down to catch her and dragging her back down to the ground)

Mon El (in awe): oh my god

(The power transference has been completed. Kara’s supersuit has brightened in saturation to a dazzling sky blue and her eyes are glowing purest gold. But Samantha’s been depowered and she laying unconscious on the ground in her civilian clothes)

Nia: I TOLD YOU!!!! DINO THUNDER!!!! I TOLD YOU!!!!

Kara (her voice reverberating off of every surface): Valor, get Esme and Sovereign back to the tower. I’ll take it from here

Mon El: on it

(He flies Samantha and Esme back to the tower)

Ruby: what happened to her?

Mon El: the transference had a bit of an unforeseen consequence.

Carter: Kira and Ethan never passed out.

Mon El: well they weren’t kryptonian. The rules are different.

Carter: good point.

Alex: is Esme okay?

Mon El: tell her yourself

(He let’s Esme off his back and she runs up to her mothers for a tearful reunion)

Kelly: thank you.

Mon El: I’m Uncle Mon-Mike. It’s what I’m here for.

Alex (through happy years): we really need to get you a better name.

Mon El: nah. I like it. Where’s the luthor.

William (still comforting Andrea): dead. Lillian killed herself to stop Lena hurting Ruby and your boys.

Mon El: oh my god. And Eddie and Tony okay?

Cat: they’re fine. Kryptonite didn’t touch them. But we put them under the sun lamps just to make sure.

Mon El (hugging her in gratitude): thank you.

Carter: this means that Lex is the only luthor left.

Lucy: yeah. Yeah it does. Why?

Carter: you might be able to use it to your advantage.

Mon El: ooooh I love a Carter Grant Plan. Whatcha got kiddo?

Winn (still at the computer): hey Mon. I think you’re probably going to want to see this.

Mon El: yeah? Oh fuck.

(On the screen Kara’s fighting Lex and Nyxly with her enhanced powers. She’s winning with help from James, Nia, Brainy and J’onn. But she appears to be glitching slightly)

Carter: what’s wrong with her?

Mon El (extremely worried): I don’t know.

Winn: I think I do.

Kelly: what?

Winn: she’s not used to using kryptonian magic. She’s not had any time to practice with them. So

Mon El: they’re chipping away at her.

Winn: and then some.

Alex: excuse me?

Winn: it’s power incontinence. You had to learn how to use Hand Of The Soldier. Kara, Mon El, Samantha, Nia et al had to learn how to use their powers. No one is a master right off the cuff. Humans, aliens, we all need to learn so-

Alex: they’re working against her just as much as they’re working for her.

Winn: exactly

Andrea: so what? We’re gonna lose? After all of this we’re going to lose?

Morgan: well that was a wash out.

Mon El: not now Morgan! I’m trying to think.

J’onn (over the comms): we’ve got them on the ropes but something’s wrong with Supergirl.

Winn: she isn’t accustomed to using magic. She’s going to need all the cover you can give.

Brainy (over the comms): that is statistically impossible Agent Schott.

Winn (stressed out): we’ll figure it out Brainy! You’re the twelfth level intellect here not me. Schott out.

(He rubs his face wearily and leaves the computers)

Alex: where are you going?

Winn: to see my girlfriend. You’re not the only ones who had a loved one on the battlefield. Ruby, come with me. Your mom’ll be happy to see you when she wakes up.

James (over the comms): Winn? Are you there?

Kelly (taking Winn’s place at the computers): James. It’s Kelly. Winn couldn’t-Winn had to take a break.

James: understandable. Supergirl’s getting shaky. What do we do Valor?

Mon El: why are you asking me?

Lucy: you’re second in command.

Mon El: ah fuck I forgot about that. Okay, okay. Kelly could you put Kara’s vitals up please? Thanks. Ah shit. Samantha didn’t give her enough magic.

Carter: why is smoke coming off of Kara’s head?

Lucy: and making it’s why towards us.

Mon El: oh crap. I think the magic’s leaving her system.

(They’re right. Just then Samantha coughs herself awake and Kara passes out on the ground)

Mon El (panicking): Dreamer put a barrier around supergirl NOW! Lucy, I need your gun.

(He flies back down and shoots at Lex’s feet to get his attention)

Mon El: Alexander Lionel Luthor! Your mother and half sister are dead! You are the last one left! You still have time to surrender! It doesn’t need to end this way!

Lex: my mother and Lena are dead!

Mon El: yes.

Lex: of course you know what this means don’t you?

Mon El: what?

Lex (a shit eating grin spreading over his face): I win. Don’t you see Mr Danvers? I always wi-urk

(Mon El shoots Lex point blank between the eyes, killing him instantly, mid sentence)

Mon El: alright now. Let’s see if I remember how to do this....

(He expertly empties and dismantles the gun)

Mon El: that’s how you do it right?

Lucy (over the comms): yeah. Perfect. No notes.

Mon El: well I’ve got a good teacher.

Nyxly: you know, you Daxamites have always been exceedingly primitive but this really does take the ca-ark

(Mon El just snapped Nyxly’s neck with his bare hands in one swift motion)

Nia: holy shit.

Brainy: now why didn’t I think of that?

Mon El: you would have if Nia had been in danger.

Nia: oh let’s not get into that kind of hypothetical please.

Mon El: sorry. Uh. Can I?

Nia: sure.

(She lets down the barrier, Mon El pulls Kara towards him and gently shakes her awake)

Mon El: hey, honey, wake up, we’ve won.

(End of Part two)
