Chapter 33

Kara was currently attempting to fight off Non's soldiers, which normally would be a piece of cake for her, even though she was on her own, but since she was still exhausted from her fight with Reactron, they were wiping the floor with her. Supergirl was putting up a good fight and she'd taken a few of them down, she was still being overwhelmed and apparently her team hadn't gotten the message that she needed help, which was weird, since she was sure that Supergirl being attacked would be on the news by now.

Fortunately, she could think of one person who might be able to help her, though it was a risk, but she didn't have any other choice, especially as two of Non's forces had her pinned down.

"Krypto, help me." Supergirl shouted and Non chuckled.

"You really must be desperate trying to call on a pet that died before Krypton did." Non said, though Supergirl couldn't help but grin at that.

"Are you sure about that?" Supergirl asked, right as Krypto rammed into Non at superspeed.

"The beast lives?" Non snarled, only to step back when Krypto growled at him and his soldiers, putting all the training Kara had been putting him through to good use as he blasted the two soldiers holding her down back, allowing her to get to her feet.

"Good dog." Supergirl said as she rubbed her dog's head and Krypto barked happily, pleased with himself for saving his mistress.

"You really think that the dog will be enough to save you?" Non asked.

"You really think you'll have any chance of getting Astra back if you kill me?" Supergirl asked.

"Astra betrayed me. You think I'd take her back even if she did come crawling? Now she is just like you. Nothing more than an obstacle in our path." Non said and Kara glared at him, wishing that sun would work faster to recharge her, since while Krypto was strong, he was still a puppy, which meant that he wasn't strong enough to take down Non's whole army himself.

"Probably not." Kara conceded, knowing that while she and Krypto could give them a good fight, they were outnumbered while Krypto was still relatively fresh, she hadn't had much time to train him in combat and she was nowhere near 100%.

"It is a shame I have to destroy what could have been such a useful asset to me, since if you had simply joined our cause, then Myriad could've been set off without anyone getting hurt." Non said.

"And you're delusional if you think any member of the house of El would've gone along with your insane plan. Astra backed out of it for a reason." Supergirl insisted.

"You caused her to lose her nerve." Non said as he prepared to execute her, only to stop when he felt someone grab his shoulder.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." the Martian Manhunter said as he punched Non backwards.

"It's about time." Supergirl said as J'onn helped her up.

"Sorry, it's a big city." J'onn said.

"Let's get out of here. I'm still drained from my fight with Reactron and Non's forces exploited that." Supergirl said and J'onn nodded, since he could tell just how exhausted she was as he put her arm over his shoulder and flew off towards the Tower with Krypto flying off after them, none of them noticing someone flying after them.

The first person J'onn had called after getting Kara under the Tower's yellow sun lamps was Lena, who'd actually opened a transmatter portal to get to her girlfriend's side.

"What the hell happened?" Lena demanded as she held Kara's hand while she rested under the sun lamps.

"I'm sure you saw the footage of her taking down Reactron." J'onn said.

"I was so proud to watch her do what Superman never could. Just another reason why she's better than him." Lena said and J'onn chuckled, though he didn't disagree.

"Well, Non decided that would be a good time to ambush her while she was weak. I started searching the moment her comms went dark, but she ended up calling Krypto to help her until I got there. Normally she could've taken him, but she was already exhausted from fighting Reactron." J'onn explained.

"Sounds like Non alright." Lena said, since while she'd never met the bastard personally, she'd heard plenty about him.

Krypto barked, getting Lena's attention and she smiled.

"Yes Krypto, I know I owe you double the dog treats for saving Kara's life." Lena said and Krypto barked, clearly happy to hear the word treats, especially when it sounded like he'd be getting more than usual.

However, Krypto's bark also woke Kara up from the little nap she'd been taking, since even with the yellow sun lamps, her body was so tired she passed out to fully recover.

"Lena." Kara said as Lena quickly kissed her.

"I came as soon as J'onn called me. Thank god or Rao or whoever you want to thank that you're okay." Lena said.

"Yeah. And remind me to tell Brainy to start making Krypto a supersuit, since I think that I just got Superdog as a sidekick." Kara said and Krypto barked in approval of that name, but before they could say anything else, the Tower's alarms went off.

"What's going on?" Lena asked.

"An intruder. Someone must've followed us back here." J'onn said.

"Good thing I've got my strength back." Kara said as Lena pulled out her alien gun.

"Thank you again for letting me take this from the Fortress." Lena said.

"If you're gonna be in this life, then I want you to be able to protect yourself." Kara said as they went to meet the intruder and Kara was shocked by who it was, since while it wasn't Non, it was someone else she recognized from Krypton and she could tell that her life just got even more complicated than it already was and that was saying something.

"Hello Kara. It's been a long time." the intruder, who was a blonde haired woman, around Kara's height with green eyes, said.

"Kara, you know this woman?" J'onn asked, looking at her.

"Kara never told you about me? I'm hurt." the woman said.

"Kara, who is this?" Lena asked.

"Someone that I'm not sure we can trust. This is Ursa Dru-Zod." Kara said.

"Zod, as in?" Lena asked.

"General Zod's daughter." Kara confirmed.

"And I think you're forgetting something even more important." Ursa said and Kara sighed.

"This is not how I wanted to have this conversation with you Lena, but Ursa is also my ex." Kara said, shocking them.

Surprise. Sorry to end the chapter like that, but how could I not. By the way, Ursa is played by Melissa Benoist's fellow Glee star, Becca Tobin.
