《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 23

"Lena, you made it." Kara said, relieved to see her friend back on her feet as Lena entered the hospital waiting room.
"I was actually here earlier today getting the all clear. It seems like just when the Superfriends get one back, we lose another." Lena said.
"Actually, we've also gained another." Kara said, though she didn't disagree with Lena's statement.
"Who?" Lena asked.
"We found Brainy at the Cadmus facility. Winn and Nia are with him at the Tower, trying to reboot him, since J'onn restored his memories while he was unconscious." Kara said.
"I'll head over there later to see if I can help Winn, since while I know Winn probably has more experience with that sort of thing due to his time in the future, I might still be able to help." Lena said.
"Actually, I want you to focus on helping Alex." Kara said.
"What do you mean?" Lena asked.
"The real Hank Henshaw did a lot of damage to Alex's body, she's paralyzed." Kara said.
"You want to use the harun-el to cure her." Lena said.
"Not just that, but I want to give Alex real powers, especially if she insists on continuing to do this. She's gotten incredibly lucky up until now, but honestly, it feels like her luck is starting to run out. If she wants to get back in the field with the Superfriends, then I want her to have a better chance at defending herself." Kara said.
"I get that, but Kara, while the serum would give Alex kryptonian powers, she'd need to take repeated injections of it in order to maintain its stability." Lena said.
"Not if my dad refines your formula. He knows even more about the Harun-El than you do, considering he used it to create the shield that protected Argo." Kara said and Lena nodded.
"Alright, only one dose, after that, I want J'onn to wipe any trace of that formula from my memories." Lena said.
"Wait, what?" Kara asked.

"Kara, I've lost track of how many times my work has been stolen and used against both of us. The lead dispersal device was stolen by the Children of Liberty, who used it to poison our air to you and your cousin, both Lex and Ben Lockwood stole the harun-el to use against us, it's too much of a risk. I trust your father with that formula, but honestly, as long as it exists in human memories, there's always a chance that it could fall into the wrong hands." Lena said.
"You really have learned from your mistakes haven't you?" Kara asked.
"Yes. I know now that there are some things that shouldn't be created, no matter what the intentions behind them were, since they could always be used for evil." Lena said.
"Okay then." Kara agreed.
"Good. So, where is your dad staying?" Lena asked.
"He and my mom are staying in the living quarters in the Tower, though they should be here soon." Kara said.
"What about Eliza?" Lena asked.
"I asked Superman to pick her up." Kara said.
"You mean Clark Kent?" Lena asked smugly.
"How did you?" Kara asked.
"Honestly Kara, after I learned your identity, it was pretty easy for me to put the pieces together. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that Lex and my mother haven't put it together. And don't worry, I won't say a world." Lena promised.
"I know. I trust you Lena. It's Clark who might not." Kara said.
"That's understandable, but I will get him to trust me." Lena said.
"If you can get me to trust you again after everything you did, then I know you can win Superman over." Kara said.
"I hope so." Lena agreed.
"You know, I don't have to be a mind reader to know something is troubling you my friend." J'onn said as he sat down next to Jeremiah.
"Not troubled. Nervous." Jeremiah said.
"Alex is going to be fine. From what I just heard, it sounds like Lena has agreed to make the serum, so once it's made Zor-El modifies it, Alex will be even better than she was before." J'onn said.

"I'm not nervous about Alex. It's Eliza." Jeremiah said and now J'onn understood.
"She'll be happy to see you." J'onn said.
"Until you restore her memories. The last time Eliza saw me was right before I betrayed our entire family. I lied to her." Jeremiah said.
"If Kara and Alex can forgive you for that, I'm sure she can too." J'onn said.
"I hope you're right." Jeremiah said, right as said woman entered the room.
"Eliza." Kara said, getting up from where she was talking to Lena.
"Kara, thank you for arranging such a quick ride here." Eliza said.
"Where is Clark?" Kara asked.
"Dropping my stuff off at your apartment." Eliza said and Kara nodded.
"Eliza, there are two people here that you need to see." Kara said.
"Who?" Eliza asked before she noticed Jeremiah and J'onn standing there.
"What's going on?" Eliza asked.
"It will all make sense in a moment Dr. Danvers." J'onn said as he placed his hand on Eliza's forehead and restored her memories.
"J'onn." Eliza said as she hugged him.
"It's good to see you again Eliza. Despite the circumstances." J'onn said.
"You too. How is she?" Eliza asked.
"Resting as best she can. Kelly is back there with her now. You can see her a little later." J'onn said as Eliza turned to Jeremiah.
"Hello Eliza." Jeremiah said a bit awkwardly.
"Jeremiah. I'm assuming if you're here then it means that this time, it's genuine?" Eliza asked.
"It is. J'onn can prove it." Jeremiah said and Eliza turned towards the martian, who nodded.
"I read his mind, this time it's genuine." J'onn said and Eliza then hugged her husband, who was surprised, but hugged her back.
"I'm so sorry for all the pain I caused you Liza." Jeremiah said.
"You were doing what you had to do in order to protect our girls. But I have to ask, why didn't you come back after you defected from Cadmus the first time?" Eliza asked.
"I was too ashamed of what I did to face you and the girls. And I knew that Cadmus would be looking for me and after you barely managed to get them off your case, I didn't want to risk them using any of you to get to me." Jeremiah said.
"What were you doing after you left Cadmus anyways?" Kara asked curiously.
"I was helping alien refugees in a town not far from where I originally met J'onn." Jeremiah said.
"Anyways, how long are you in town for Eliza?" Kara asked.
"As long as Alex needs me, since Kara, between building up your media platform, I'm very proud of you for that by the way and your other duties, you won't have the time needed to take care of her as she adjusts to her new lifestyle and Kelly has a full time job, she can't just drop everything to help her girlfriend, no matter how much I know you both want to." Eliza said.
"Actually, Alex's paralysis may not be permanent." Kara isad.
"What do you mean?" Eliza asked.
"Lena has agreed to prepare a dose of her harun-el serum, which my father can modify to make it completely compatible with Alex's genome so it will give her powers permanently." Kara said.
"I'm sorry, your father?" Eliza asked, since while she knew that Kara's mother was alive on Argo, though she'd never had the chance to meet the woman, she thought that Zor-El had died with the rest of Krypton.
"Yeah, both of my parents survived Krypton's destruction in this universe and they're actually here right now. They're at our base of operations, the Tower. I'll take you there later." Kara said and Eliza nodded as they continued talking while they waited to hear if Alex was ready for more visitors.

8 69Knight and Deserter
The year is 1039 of Autorm, and nothing has changed. The Knight Seekers still patrol the old highways, death is common in life, and justice is but an afterthought. Power is the unspoken truth, wealth is a means to an end. Anything else becomes irrelevant. The novel takes place in the fictional Kingdom of Spartha. The story revolves mainly around the adventure of two characters. Leondre vae Marras, the fourth son of a Marquis. A prodigy in the Royal Military Academy, and aspiring Knight-errant. Albeit he's still a teenager, naive, and also inexperienced with the outside world. He is also one of the few knights to take the code of Chivalry seriously. Then there's Cendric Forrester, the bastard of a decorated Knight. Sold off in servitude to the Order of the Knights Seeker, to unwillingly pay his mothers debt. He's tired of being the Orders pet hound. Ruthless to those standing in his way, and disillusioned with Chivalry and the world around him. Cendric is a survivor, and firmly believes one should have their own self interests in mind. Two opposites of a coin, the only thing they have in common besides their ire for each other is blood. They're cousins surprisingly, not that it really matters.
