It is not good to work on homework with a pounding migraine. And yet somehow, I managed to finally write this out. Well, that's one thing accomplished, at least!

I'll say this once again - schoolwork is taking priority now, especially since midterm is approaching, and that'll mean tests that are super important to my grades. Please be patient with me if this story takes this long to update again. I would rather score good grades and take a break in uploading this than upload constantly and say I couldn't pass a class with the excuse of "I was writing fanfiction." I don't think that would make my teachers like me very much.

Anyway, Team Tech start to plan, and Supergirl and Overgirl have a bit of a chat. It doesn't go the exact same way in the episode.

Enjoy!

If Thawne didn't hurry up and do the surgery already, Kara's heart was going to pound so quickly it would burst, and he wouldn't even get the chance to save Overgirl.

Kara stared up into the red light shining down on her, her teeth sunk into her lip to keep from crying. Rao, this was so much worse than Cadmus. At least all Cadmus had was green Kryptonite to hurt her. Here, a red sun was rendering her completely vulnerable, and anything could hurt her now. And Thawne was going to cut her open, take her heart . . . make her bleed.

A whimper escaped her as she weakly tried to get off the bed again, but the restraints held her back. She closed her eyes, swallowing hard.

"You're looking more human." Kara took a deep breath before opening her eyes, seeing Overgirl look her over. "Scared, helpless, pathetic . . . inferior."

Kara glared at her. "We're not that different from them."

"Oh, please!" Overgirl scoffed, walking towards the foot of her bed. "We're everything they want to be. Blonde, white." She turned around, smirking arrogantly and holding out her arms. "Aryan perfection."

"I'm not like you," Kara glared. Now she had an outlet for emotions, and if it was arguing with her Nazi doppelgänger, so be it. At least she was a distraction. "I don't think I'm better than everyone else."

"You should," Overgirl tilted her head. "You are. You're a god to them. You could have been living like one."

Kara snorted. "Like you?"

"Yes, like me!" Overgirl laughed, putting her hands on her hips. "They want someone to bow to, to worship, to lead."

It was such a pose similar to one Kara used herself, but to see it on her evil self just looked so wrong, it made Kara taste bile in her mouth. "What you're doing is not leading," she shook her head. "It's ruling."

Overgirl nodded in agreement, watching Kara struggle again. "Yes, it is," she agreed. "They're like ants, Kara."

"They shouldn't fear us for what we can do," Kara told her. "They should rely on us when they need us."

Overgirl growled, holding up a hand. "Oh, spare me the Good Samaritan crap."

Kara glared at her as she walked around to the other side of the bed. "I'm not gonna take advantage of anyone just because I can."

Overgirl narrowed her eyes, walking over to her. "The world isn't made better by protecting the weak. It's made better by getting rid of them." Kara stared at her, not giving her a reaction, and Overgirl scoffed. "You really are pathetic. You know, I saw you at the wedding. You . . . and Oliver." Kara tensed, and Overgirl smirked. "Well, that got a reaction. Please. I don't know how your Flash never noticed. It was obvious."

"Says the one who's married to her version," Kara couldn't help but fire back.

"Oh, is that why you can't look at me?" Overgirl raised an eyebrow. "What, your Oliver doesn't have the guts to ask you?" She rolled her eyes, sitting on the bed. "There was no mention of you before . . . 2016? Yes? And then suddenly, these last four months, he can't be seen without you. Where in between there did he get you?"

Kara froze, closing her eyes. "You don't want to know."

"Oh, I don't?" Overgirl tilted her head. "I'm getting your heart. I'd like to know when it fell in love with the doppelgänger of the man I love."

Kara squeezed her eyes tighter, swallowing hard. "Hell," she finally ground out, inwardly cursing when she heard her voice crack.

There was no response from Overgirl. For a moment, Kara thought she had finally said something her doppelgänger couldn't counter with. Then – "Project Cadmus."

Kara's eyes flew open and she stared at Overgirl in disbelief, unable to keep the shock out of her voice. "What?" she stammered. "How – ?"

Overgirl just swallowed hard, and Kara could have sworn she saw a flash of something in her eyes. Was that sympathy? Whatever it was, Overgirl's features quickly returned to their normal sneer, but as she stood, she looked down at Kara. "Hurry up," she called to Thawne. "The sooner I get her heart, the better."

Kara gawked after her doppelgänger as she left. That . . . that had not been what she had expected from her at all.

Down in the hall leading to the pipeline, grating in the ceiling suddenly popped open. Lena stuck her head out, looking around before smirking. "Clear!"

She dropped to the ground, followed by Iris, then Winn and Felicity. "I know bad guys have inopportune timing, but this is, like, the worst timing ever," Felicity swallowed as Iris ran to the control panel.

"Yeah, tell me about it, sister," Iris snorted, tapping quickly on the screen. "Barry and I were just about to get married!"

"Well, the only good side to this is that now we know what would ever happen if Oliver and Kara did a one-eighty and went all evil on everyone," Winn tried to smile.

"Yeah, masters of the universe," Lena rolled her eyes. "Which I would not want to be a part of if they followed Nazi doctrines!"

"That would be why I didn't include that part in the good side!"

"How is knowing their evil characteristics good?!"

Before Winn could respond, bullets narrowly missed his head and Lena's ponytail. She yelped, and the four of them backed away from the wall as two Nazis appeared in the entrance to the pipeline. "Stop!" one ordered, both approaching with their guns raised. "Hands in the air!"

"Raised," Winn stammered, holding his up. "They're raised!"

When the Nazis seemed to focus on him, Lena lunged for the wall. As they swung back to her, Lena yanked a pipe off the wall, spraying smoke in the Nazi's faces. As they shouted in pain, Iris and Winn jumped forward, grabbing their guns. Iris threw a sharp right hook, knocking her Nazi out while Winn jammed the gun into his Nazi's head, and both crumpled to the ground. "Whoa," Felicity's eyes widened.

"There's the D.E.O. agent training," Lena grinned at Winn.

"That was extremely badass," Winn grinned at Iris.

"Same to you," Iris grinned back, offering her gun. Winn tapped hers with his, then Iris turned to the pipeline. "Cisco?" she shouted.

"Hey!" his voice yelled back. "Guys, we're trapped in here!"

"We're gonna get you out of here!" Felicity promised, she and Lena going over to the door.

Iris ran to the controls again, finding the key to unlock the door, only to groan when it turned red. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"

"What?" Felicity asked.

"I can't open the blast door!"

"So they're trapped?" Lena demanded.

Iris nodded miserably, and Felicity ran over. "I'll send an SOS to the Legends," she said, pulling up a new screen.

"How long will it take for them to get it?" Winn asked.

"Depends where they are in time," Felicity sighed.

Winn and Lena exchanged glances. "They're in the Stone Age," Winn whispered.

"Oh, God," Felicity blanched.

"That's too long," Lena closed her eyes.

"Here," Winn pulled up his own screen.

"Who're you calling?" Iris frowned.

"Remember how I told you Harry and I have been working on refining communications back and forth between universes?" When Iris nodded, Winn continued. "Before the wedding, Kara texted me. Oliver brought his extrapolator with him, and told her he wanted her to stay for a while afterwards. They breached back to our universe to drop her extrapolator back off with someone she trusted."

"J'onn," Lena breathed, eyes lighting up.

"Exactly," Winn nodded. "So all I have to do is send a message to Kara's extrapolator and hope J'onn gets it in time."

"And if he doesn't?" Felicity swallowed.

"We can't wait that long," Iris shook her head.

Lena took a deep breath. "Then I guess it's up to us to save Kara."

Well, how about that for a conversation between the two Karas? ;)

Bit short, but next time, there's a lot happening on Earth-X that would be hard to split up.
