Chapter 67

This next arc is inspired by Supergirl episode 4x16. I'll let you guys guess why.

"Hey, you have a minute?" Iris asked Kara when she spotted her entering the office.

"Yeah, sure, what's up?" Kara asked.

"As you know, things between James and I are getting pretty serious." Iris said.

"Yeah, so?" Kara asked.

"So, I don't want to have to keep this secret from him any more. If I want this to go further and I do, I can't keep lying to him about this." Iris said.

"James already knows my secret, Clark told him. I can't speak for Barry and the others, but I think that if you're serious about wanting a relationship with him, then I say go for it. But ask the others before you reveal the rest of the gang to him." Kara said and Iris smiled.

"Thank you Kara." Iris said.

"Hey, I went through the same thing when I told Barry I was a kryptonian. Granted, he'd already become the Flash by then, but still." Kara said and Iris laughed.

"Yeah, you got off easy." Iris said.

"Seriously Iris, I think that the fewer secrets you keep from James, the better for the good of your relationship." Kara said.

"Thanks." Iris said, right as suddenly, the news on the TVs in the office cut out to show a face that caused several people in the office to scream in fear and Kara's heart to drop significantly.

"Greetings, people of the world. I'm back." Lex Luthor said on the screens and Kara glared at them.

"Now, I know most people on this planet fear me. You think I'm insane. But I am simply trying to prove a point. We humans cannot put our faith in these false gods. Especially not those who hail from other worlds. This planet is rightfully ours and high time we took it back. Humanity needs to protect itself, not rely on others to do it for us. And I will show them that I am the true man of tomorrow. Not Superman, not the Flash, but me. And now, I will prove to you all that I am right and these false gods, all of them, will fall." Lex said as the footage cut out and returned to the news.

"We need to get to Star Labs now." Kara said and Iris nodded, thankful that Ms. Grant was now in the loop, so it was easier for them both to slip out without drawing attention.

When Kara and Iris arrived at their new bunker, they found Barry, Cisco, Caitlin and Ronnie already standing in it.

"This is bad." Ronnie said.

"Talk about an understatement Ronnie. Lex has been in the wind for nearly a year ever since he escaped from Stryker Island and he basically declared war on us." Kara said, glaring at him.

"How did Lex escape anyways. I thought that Stryker Island was one of the most secure facilities on the planet." Iris asked.

"That's a good question. Cisco, can you breach me to the DEO, I'm gonna see if J'onn can get us access to Stryker Island's security feed." Kara said.

"Sure, but why?" Cisco asked.

"As smart as Lex is, there's no way he could've gotten out of there without help. We need to find out who helped him escape, because they could be the key to finding him now." Kara said and Cisco nodded nodded.

"One breach coming right up." Cisco said as he opened the breach and Kara walked through it.

Kara wasn't even surprised when she found J'onn waiting for her.

"I figured it would only be a matter of time until you came here after Lex's announcement." J'onn said.

"Well he is the most wanted man in the world and he is one of Clark's greatest enemies." Kara said.

"What do you need?" J'onn asked.

"Star Labs needs access to the surveillance footage from Stryker Island the day Luthor escaped. I'm hoping we can use it to find out whoever helped him." Kara said and J'onn nodded.

"I'll have it all compiled and give it to you. By the way, your family has been informed of Lex's crimes and they are understandably concerned for you." J'onn said.

"I'll talk to them." Kara said and J'onn nodded.
