《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 10
Advertisement
When Kara arrived at the tower, she found J'onn and Alex waiting for her.
"Okay, what was so urgent that it couldn't wait until morning?" Alex asked.
"My aunt is back in my apartment." Kara said.
"Wait, Astra came to you?" Alex asked.
"She did and I've managed to convince her that Myriad is not the solution." Kara said.
"Now you want to know what the DEO intends for her." J'onn said.
"I won't let you lock her up." Kara said.
"Kara, she's still a criminal." Alex said.
"She hasn't done anything on this planet yet, which means that you have no real right to hold her. Your authority is only towards aliens who have actually committed crimes on this planet and she hasn't." Kara said.
"She's got a point." Alex admitted.
"Perhaps there's a way we all can benefit from this." J'onn said.
"How?" Kara asked.
"I can restore Astra's memories and then, since her sister is still alive on Argo, we can have her search the stars for it." J'onn said and Kara nodded.
"Astra can see that my mother did take her warnings seriously and she can bring my mom back to Earth." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
"It basically sounds like we'd be deporting her." Alex said.
"Can we please not call it that. And it's not like we'd be banning her from the planet. She can come back. But since Krypton is where Astra committed her crimes, it's only fair that we send her there to face them, though hopefully, my mother will be more lenient this time around." Kara said and Alex nodded.
"Okay, let's do it then." Alex said, though Kara could tell she was nervous.
"You're afraid of what Astra will do when she remembers you killed her." Kara said.
"I mean, she'd have a right to be angry." Alex said.

"She's also a soldier and she'll remember that you were just doing your duty as one as well. You were protecting your comrade." Kara said.
"I hope so." Alex said.
"Don't worry, she may be my aunt, but I won't let her harm my sister." Kara promised her.
"I don't want you to have to choose between your family." Alex said.
"And I won't have to. Astra is bound to know how much you mean to me." Kara said.
"I hope so." Alex said, since while she loved her sister and her optimism, she also had to be realistic about the chances of Astra forgiving her for what she'd done.
"I'm gonna go bring Astra here, say that you guys would feel more comfortable meeting her someplace that could be considered neutral ground. Not my apartment, but also not the DEO headquarters." Kara said.
"Sounds reasonable." J'onn said and Alex nodded in agreement.
"Great, I'll be right back." Kara said as she flew out of the tower.
Astra was still sitting on Kara's couch, just like she'd left her, though now she was watching TV, since despite her willpower, she quickly began to understand why her niece and practically every other inhabitant of this planet, human and alien alike, were obsessed with television, when she heard someone enter the apartment from the balcony. She assumed it was Kara, until she heard a voice that definitely did not belong to her niece.
"What are you doing?" Non asked as Astra got up to face her husband and a few other troops.
"I could ask you the same question. What are you doing here Non? How did you even know I was here?" Astra asked.
"It was not hard to guess that you'd seek your niece out once you learned she was still alive. But why are you still here now? You should've returned to us." Non said.

"I've had a change of heart on Myriad Non. It's not the way." Astra said, expecting her husband not to react well and he did not disappoint.
"We gave up everything to develop Myriad, it is the key to saving this world and now you don't want to use it." Non said.
"It might save the planet, but the people will become mindless drones. The planet will not be worth living on anymore." Astra retorted.
"I see. You've only had your niece back in your life for a short time and she's already weakened your resolve. I know what I have to do." Non said as he turned to leave, only to have Astra stop him.
"You touch her and death will seem merciful compared to what I will do to you." Astra threatened.
"So be it." Non said as he then gripped Astra by her throat and choked her.
"You dare to attack your superior officer?" Astra choked out as she did her best to fight him, but his grip appeared to be too strong.
"If you do not believe in our cause, then I suppose this is a mutiny." Non said as his troops exchanged looks.
Before any of them could react however, Kara dropped down on the terrace, a look of fury on her face.
"Put my aunt down." Kara growled as she fired her heat vision at Non's hand, forcing him to drop Astra, causing her to drop to the ground and start hacking.
"That was a mistake girl." Non said.
"It's Supergirl. And I'm not the child I once was Non." Kara spat.
"Maybe so, but do you really think you can beat all of us?" Non asked.
"Let's find out." Kara said, since she'd honestly faced far worse with far greater numbers than Non and these troops.
"Don't make me laugh girl." Non said, only to have Kara speed up and use her cape to pull his legs out from under him and then held him up against her to act as a shield against his troops.
"Because I was in a good mood before you showed up, I'll make you a deal. Stand down and swear on your honor as kryptonians and warriors to leave peacefully and I will let him go and let you all leave in peace to fight another day." Kara said.
"And if we refuse?" One of the troops asked as Kara held up her unused arm to reveal her watch.
"Refuse and I call in my whole team, which will take all of you in. Your call." Kara said.
"You're bluffing." Non growled, only to have Kara squeeze him tighter. Normally she wouldn't treat someone like this, but seeing him almost kill her aunt brought out strong feelings of protectiveness, since if she was honest with herself, she'd always blamed Non for her aunt's death, since she knew that it was Non who'd perverted Astra's ideals into what they were.
"I'd do as she says." Astra warned as she got up.
"Fine, we agree." one of the troops said and Kara nodded as she threw Non to the ground.
"Get moving. Before I change my mind." Kara said.
"You really think we'd do that?" Non asked.
"Commander, we swore on our honor." one of the troops said and Non sighed.
"Fine. But this is not over." Non warned as he and his troops flew out.
"I know. And I'll be waiting." Kara promised as she turned to her aunt.
"Are you okay?" Kara asked.
"Yes, thanks to you." Astra said.
"I lost you once. I'm never going to go through that again." Kara said as she hugged her aunt, even more sure of her decision to restore Astra's memories.
