《Edge of Glory | Supergirl 1》Chapter 43

"What do you got, Max?" Katie asks, moving alongside Kara, Leah, Lucy, and General Lane.

"Found 'em. Thanks to this pretty little thing."

"An Omegahedron. We used these as energy sources on Krypton." Leah states, looking at the screen, "Just one of those can power an entire city."

"Well, this one's powering the destruction of this planet. It's powering the Myriad wave, and its energy is building by the second."

"So where are the Kryptonians hiding?" Alex questions, she moved her eyes when she saw a ring on Leah's finger.

"About 500 miles northeast of here. Nevada."

"What the hell is in Nevada?" Katie glances over at Max.

Max twirls in his seat, "In my experience, mediocre buffets and regret."

"It's Fort Rozz." General Lane admits with a push from his daughter.

"Wait." Leah pointed at him, "You just left it there?"

"You try moving a one-million-ton alien spacecraft. We did the only thing we could. We concealed it using its own stealth technology, cordoned off the area and called it a nuclear test zone."

"Making it the perfect place to hide." Alex sighs loudly, "They've been there the whole time."

"I'll find them. I'll shut it down."

"Not just the three of you." J'onn speaks up, walking to the girls, "I'm coming with you."

"You're still under arrest."

"And hurt."

"There are too many lives at risk to send an agent in alone."

"I'm not releasing you. You're a threat to national security." Major Lane stands his ground.

"And you're dead if you don't allow me to take this mission."

"They're gonna need all the help they can get."

Lucy looks at her father, commanding, "Release him. Now."

"Take the other cuff off of the Martian."

J'onn lifted his hand, "I got it." He popped it off easily, letting them know he didn't have to stay in the cuffs.

"Let's do this."

"You guys." Alex stopped them before they could leave, "Be careful."

Kara pulls her necklace off, placing it down in Alex's hand, "Keep it safe for me?" Alex nodded her head.

Katie followed Kara, looking at her, "You didn't say goodbye to your sister."

"If I say goodbye, I'm never leaving."

🎆~🎆~🎆~🎆~🎆

Leah lands next to Katie, waiting for J'onn and Kara to land. Once they did, she squinted down at Fort Rozz, "So, how do we smoke them out?"

"I think we just did."

Non and Indigo land in front of them. Kara stepped forward, "Where is your army?"

"Already in their sleeping pods. Ready for the journey that awaits once we dispense with the four of you."

"And the Omegahedron?"

"It's right here. Take it. Smash it into little bits. You still won't stop us. It's just a means to an end. Its power comes from her." Non points at the alien prison.

Indigo smirks over at them, "Can't smash that to little bits, huh?"

"This is not what mother wanted. Please, dad, don't kill everyone."

"Your mother wanted to save this planet. The humans' extinction will do just that."

"Like Noah after the flood. Only without Noah. Or you." Indigo tried to run forward but Katie shot her with flames, "Ugh!"

Non sped forward, grabbing Kara and Leah, throwing them in the distance. Katie looked over at J'onn, "Ready to take down this blue bitch?"

J'onn smiled, "Glad to know you're sure of yourself."

Indigo dashed forward, but Katie pushed her back with flames, making Indigo cry out in pain. Non saw this and was going to help her when Leah grab him and throw him down to earth. Katie ducked under Indigo's punch, as J'onn punched her in the face. Kara grabbed Non, throwing him to Leah, allowing her to slam her fist in his face. The rumble of the earth made the ground shake, causing Katie to fall over. J'onn went to punch Indigo but she stabbed him where he was currently injured.

"J'onn!" Katie screams, flying as fast as she could to him.

Non grabs hold of Leah's hair and uses all his strength to throw her at Fort Rozz. She releases a groan, flying back to him. Katie grips onto Indigo's body, heating her up, she didn't stop until Indigo burst in two from the heat in the middle of her torso. She fell to her knees, "You okay?"

J'onn breaths, wheezing out, "Good thing you learned to control that."

Leah screams, shooting her laser vision at her father until he was taken down, both Kara and Leah used their powers combined. Kara ran over to Katie and J'onn, "We did it. We won."

"It can't be shut down, fools. I already locked the system. The engines won't fire. You won't be able to fly Fort Rozz away. All you'll be able to do is sit back and watch everyone around you die. But between Krypton and Mars, I guess that's old hat for you."

Katie threw fire in her face, "Shut up."

"I need to talk to Alex," Kara says, Leah followed after her.

Katie tried to go after them, "No." Leah turned to her, "You fly and find Winn, for some reason Myriad hasn't affected you yet. Please, I need you to be there for him."

"Okay." Katie looked at J'onn and Kara hugging them before flying off to find her brother.

Leah and Kara look at each other as they enter Fort Rozz. "Supergirl, what going on?"

"The Myriad signal is still escalating. We defeated Non and Indigo, but we can't stop the Myriad wave and we can't power the ship. We're going to fly Fort Rozz into space myself. It's the only way we can get Myriad off the planet."

"That is not an option. Once you're in space, there's no atmosphere. There's no gravity. You two wouldn't be able to generate thrust, you wouldn't be able to breathe, you wouldn't be able to get back."

Leah put her hand against the wall, "There's no other way, Alex."

"No. I can have Max-"

"No, there's no time."

"Listen to me!"

"We were sent to protect Earth and that's what we're going to do."

"I need you to promise me something. I need you to promise me that when you find Jeremiah, you'll tell him that I never stopped wearing the glasses. He needs to know that you and Eliza gave me a great life. A life I never thought I'd be able to find outside of Krypton. He needs to know that, that everything good I did, it came from you being my sister." Leah took Kara's hand, giving it a tight squeeze.

"You taught me, Kara."

"I want you to have a good life. I want you to find love and be happy. I want you to do all the things that being my sister kept you from doing."

"Kara-"

"Promise me."

Alex sobbed on the other line, "I can't."

"I need you need you to promise me, Alex. There isn't much time."

"I promise."

"Good, okay."

"And Alex." Leah speaks up, a tear slipping down her face, "Let Winn know, just how much I love him. Tell him I didn't even take the ring off. I kept it on, and it will always be a part of me. Tell him I'm sorry, that he couldn't see in my wedding dress. A-and-" Leah covered her mouth as she released a sob, "My mom, she-she needs to know. I love her and I'm sorry that she couldn't get those gorgeous grandkids that Winn and I would make. Okay. Let everyone know that I loved them."

"I will. I promise I will." Alex breaths heavily, "I love you, Kara."

"I love you." Leah looked at Kara, as the two walked out of the ship.

Leah flies next to Kara, pushing underneath the ship. She cries out as the weight of it pushes at her. She had tears rolling down her eyes as she thought of her family. How she wished she could have said goodbye to her in person. How she wanted to hear her mother's voice one more time, how she wanted to bring her little brother in a tight hug and never let go. She just wanted her mom to be there to tell her everything was going to be okay, that she was going to be fine, that she would be home and safe. Then as Leah pushed the ship further into the atmosphere, she thought of Winn. He proposed to her in fear that he would die, but now she was going to die. She bit the inside of her lip. She wanted to have her wedding, she wanted to have Kara and Katie be the bridesmaids, and see James as the best man. She wanted to see the bright smile of her mother as she walked her down the aisle. She wanted to hear the vows that Winn prepared for her. She didn't even get to prepare her own vows for him.

The ship was suddenly no longer touching Leah's hands, she opened her eyes to notice that they were now in space. She awkwardly moved to Kara, taking her hand, slowly the two lost oxygen, shutting their eyes.

🎆~🎆~🎆~🎆~🎆

Leah woke up with a groan, only to be brought in for a hug. She noticed the blonde hair of her cousin, "Kara... What happened?"

"We did it." Kara held her tightly, "We saved the world."

"How did we?"

"I saved you two." Alex states, "With Kara's old pod. She's not the only badass in the family." She smiles at them, "There are a lot of people out there waiting to say thank you."

Leah and Kara walk out of the medical room, hearing the applause. Leah smiled at J'onn and Lucy, bring the two for a hug.

"Ten-hut!"

"I've spoken with the president. She's indebted to you, Supergirl, Captain Marvel. Along with Solar Flare. As am I. She's also aware of the remarkable courage you demonstrated, J'onn J'onzz. She's granting you a full pardon and reinstating you as director of the DEO."

J'onn looked over at Lucy, "In my absence, Major Lane has performed her duty as director with expertise and integrity. And if there's one thing I've learned in my lifetimes, it's that leaders are stronger working together. From now on, we're all on the same team, no more secrets. Secrets protect no one. They only undermine what we're striving to accomplish, peace. And even though we have defeated Non and Myriad, evil still persists and there are ever more dangers that we face. Our enemies remain at home, abroad and in the skies beyond our world."

🎆~🎆~🎆~🎆~🎆

"Okay, do the forks go on the left or the right, I can never remember." Alex questions holding up the silverware.

Kara points at the table, "Forks on the left, knives on the right. It's the way you eat."

"How would I know that?" Alex asks, "I... I eat with my fork in my right hand."

"That's because you were raised by wolves."

Katie counted the plates, "Seven, eight, nine... Hey, you guys, um, we have, we have one extra setting."

"No, no, leave that one there. It's for Jeremiah. For when he comes back."

Alex smiled, "He will mom. I give you my word. We're gonna find Project Cadmus, we're gonna bring him home."

J'onn placed the plate of food down on the table, "Together."

"Hey, Kara, can I borrow you for a second?"

Katie looked over at Leah with a sly grin, knowing that they finally admitted to each other. Eliza looked at Winn and Leah, "So, when is the wedding?"

"Uh..." Winn scratched the back of his neck, "I never actually planned it yet. But we were thinking in a couple months."

"I want it small." Leah admits, "My mother is famous, so it's gonna be hard to get rid of paparazzi, but I want it to be with my friends and family. With you guys."

"Awe." Katie put her hand over her heart, "I'm loved."

Alex snorts, pushing her lightly, finding a bottle of champagne, "Great, Kara, do the champagne trick! Come on, come on, come on." She looked at the rest of them, "It's so cool."

Kara and James came walking back in as Leah and Winn chanted, "Do the trick."

The group chuckles, smiling as Kara takes it, "Go, go, go. Three, two, one!" She pops the cork out without even touching it, as everyone cheered and clapped.

"Let's have a toast."

"All right." James lifted his glass, "To Supergirl..."

"No, no. Wait, wait. To family." Kara smiles at everyone, "Love bonds us all."

"To family!"

There was a loud crash outside, making everyone jump. "Whoa."

"What was that?"

"Nothing good," Alex states when she sees two giant things fly by.

Kara looks at her fellow heroes, all of them got out and flew after it. They land in front of them, "Those pods."

"It's identical to ours," Leah says, looking back at Kara. It's from Krypton."

Katie and Kara ran forward wanting to save whoever was inside. Leah bit her lip, "Be careful!"

"You don't know what's in there," J'onn warned.

"Oh my God."
