Chapter 100

Okay, here it is, chapter 100. Been awhile since I've made it to this chapter, so I hope that it's worthy of the chapter number.

Kara smiled as she opened her eyes a few days later, since today wasn't just any ordinary day. Today was her birthday. Not her Earth birthday, which is what the Danvers had called the anniversary of her arriving on Earth, but the actual day she'd been born, since thanks to Kelex and the Fortress of Solitude, they'd managed to determine which day on the Earth calendar was the equivalent of her birthday on Krypton and that was today.

And one of the few perks of being stuck in the phantom zone, plus the fact that Kryptonians aged at a much slower rate than normal under a yellow sun, Kara looked much younger than she was supposed to be, since biologically, she was likely in her 60s or something like that, but physically, she was no older than 30. Today was her 30th birthday and it felt like she was on top of the world. She had everything she could've ever wanted. She was a rich and successful scientist and business woman, she was engaged to one of the hottest women in the city, she found out that her original home city Argo still existed and even better, her biological parents were still alive and living there, along with her aunt and uncle on her father's side and even better than that, in addition to her clone Karen, Kara had also discovered she had two younger siblings, one of whom now lived on Earth with her now. Not to mention she was one of the world's most famous superheroes and the leader of the Justice League. Rao, if you'd told her back when she first arrived on Earth, she'd have thought you were crazy.

Anyways, Kara was pulled from her thoughts when she heard the bedroom door open and smiled when she saw Lena come into their room, carrying a tray with Kara's favorite breakfast on it and Krypto barked happily as he rushed passed her and jumped on the bed on top of Kara and began giving her birthday kisses, since he loved this day too, since he'd originally been a birthday present to Kara from her parents, who would be teleporting to Earth for her party tonight, since they didn't think they'd ever get to celebrate Kara's birthday with her again and they weren't missing it.

"Krypto down." Lena said, though she was smiling anyways as she watched her fiance attempt to push her dog off her.

Krypto eventually decided to leave Kara alone and moved aside so Lena could place the breakfast tray on her lap.

"Okay, before I start eating this, who cooked it, since Lena, my beautiful fiance, while you have many talents, cooking is not one of them." Kara said, since in addition to her numerous duties, she was also the one who cooked in this house, since Eliza had insisted on teaching her to cook so that she wouldn't just be reliant on fast food or eating out everyday, while Lena had never cooked a thing in her life.

"Is it really that hard to believe that I might've learned to cook since we moved in together?" Lena asked.

"Yes." Kara said, raising an eyebrow.

"Fine, I used magic to conjure up a breakfast that could stuff even a kryptonian with a black hole for a stomach like you." Lena said and Kara chuckled.

"I thought so. But I love you anyway." Kara said as Lena leaned in to give Kara another birthday kiss.

"Okay, so the plan is that you get the whole day off from Argo Enterprises with Avery and I running the business while you enjoy a day off before your party tonight, since you can't turn 30 without a proper celebration." Lena said, right as Kara's league comm went off.

"Guess I don't get my birthday off from being Supergirl." Kara said as she grabbed her comm.

"I'm sure J'onn can handle it." Lena said.

"You know I have to be on call 24/7 as Supergirl. But I'll be done in time for the party." Kara promised, right before she shoved Lena to the ground before the exterior wall blew up and Kara had to shield Lena from the debris.

"Seriously?" Kara asked, only to freeze when she saw who it was.

"Lora?" Kara asked, since Red Daughter had been off grid ever since the Fort Rozz raid.

"Supergirl. We have unfinished business." Red Daughter said.

"Gladly." Kara said as Lena muttered a spell and suddenly Kara was suited up as Supergirl, since her watch had been trashed in the blast.

"Be careful." Lena told her fiance.

"Always. Krypto, guard Lena." Supergirl said as she flew straight into Red Daughter, fists first, sending her flying away.

The two were fighting in the air and Supergirl couldn't help but notice that Red Daughter seemed stronger than before. Not to mention her new suit. Especially the new Omega symbol on her chest.

But she didn't have much more time to think about it as she moved to slam Red Daughter into the ground, right in the center of National City, standing over her rival, breathing heavily, since this battle was a lot harder than it had been the last time she'd fought Red Daughter.

"What happened to you Lora? And where's Indigo?" Supergirl asked, grateful for the yellow sun replenishing her strength, since this was one of the few fights that had actually tired her out.

"Don't you say her name." Red Daughter said as she blasted Supergirl back with her heat vision before moving at super speed to grab her throat and shoved Supergirl into the ground.

"It's over Supergirl. And once you're gone, this world will finally be able to embrace the glory of my master." Red Daughter said as she pummeled Supergirl so hard that a crater began to form in the ground, but before she could do anymore damage, Supergirl managed sweep kick Lora's legs out from under her and get free before she fought back, both of them landing some pretty solid shots until Supergirl saw her opening when Red Daughter tried to focus all her remaining strength into one punch, which Supergirl dodged by super leaping and came down with a super punch of her own, right into Red Daughter's head, knocking her out cold.

"You want to be with your parents so badly Lora, I'll arrange for you to join them." Supergirl said in disgust as she looked down at her ex, once again wondering what she'd ever seen in Lora before spitting out a bit of blood, since in the battle, she got pretty banged up and her suit was trashed. Again.

However, before he could give any more thought about that, she heard a loud boom and turned to see a portal open in the middle of the street.

"No, it can't be." Kara said when she saw who was coming out.

"So you know me, Kara Zor-El." Darkseid said as he stepped out of the boom tube.

"What are you doing here?" Supergirl asked, her legs going weak, but she wasn't sure if it was because of how tired she was from the battle or from fear.

"I came here to see who would be the victor of my little experiment. Red Daughter foolishly thought she could make an alliance with me, that she was somehow worthy of me. I quickly dispelled that notion when I killed her precious Indigo right in front of her and groomed her into the powerful warrior you fought today. Though clearly it was not enough. She was a disappointment. But you will not be." Darkseid.

"What are you talking about crater face?" Supergirl asked.

"Take her place at my side. You would be treated as a god on Apokolips. This was Red Daughter's final test to prove she was worthy of ruling at my side, but she failed. You, however, passed." Darkseid said.

"What?" Supergirl asked.

"I will make you a one time offer. Join me and take your place at my side and I will leave this planet and never return." Darkseid said.

"Do you really think I'm dumb enough to believe that?" Supergirl asked.

"No matter what stories are told about me, one thing even your cousin will attest to is that I always keep my word." Darkseid said and Supergirl genuinely considered it for a moment before coming to her senses.

"And condemn the rest of the universe to your insanity. Pass." Supergirl said as she mustered all the strength she could to send him flying back with one punch.

"You will regret that. Your world will suffer immensely for this." Darkseid said.

"And you'll be stopped, just like you were before." Supergirl said as she fired her heat vision as Darkseid, just in time to counter his nega beams.

"You can't keep this up for long. Red Daughter may not have defeated you, but she did weaken you substantially." Darkseid said with a smirk as he continued to blast her.

"Luckily I'm not alone." Supergirl said, right as Superman slammed his fist into Darkseid's head, slamming him to the ground.

"Did you really think you could attack my cousin and not have to deal with me?" Superman asked as other members of the Justice League, specifically Martian Manhunter, both Green Lanterns, Wonder Woman and the Hawks, floated to the ground.

"Supergirl, this is your last chance to accept my offer. Otherwise my entire army will be here in a split second." Darkseid said.

"And I've taken down that entire army by myself the first time you attacked. You really think you can beat us all?" Superman asked as he helped his cousin to her feet.

Darkseid was about to respond when he noticed Supergirl's blood on Red Daughter's fists as he grabbed her.

"You will come with me. One way or another." Darkseid said.

"Fine." Supergirl said and Darkseid grinned.

"I knew you'd see reason." Darkseid said as he opened up a boom tube.

"And you're delusional." Supergirl said as she sped forward and knocked Darkseid back through the tube, it closing behind him.

"I can't believe that actually worked." Supergirl said, right as she collapsed from exhaustion and her injuries before Superman caught her.

"I'll take her to the Solarium on the Island. A few hours in there should heal all the damage." Superman said.

"Hell of a way to spend her birthday though." Green Lantern agreed as she and Superman flew off.

"Will Supergirl be okay?" a young girl asked the remaining Leaguers and Wonder Woman smiled.

"She'll be fine. But even superheroes need to rest after big fights." Wonder Woman assured the child before she and the other Leaguers flew off after their teammates.

Meanwhile, when Darkseid came flying out of the other side of the boom tube, he found Desaad, Kalibak and Granny Goodness waiting.

"I take it the mission did not go well master?" Desaad asked.

"On the contrary. While neither Kryptonian woman would give me what I desire, their battle has produced an unexpected gift." Darkseid said as he tossed Lora to the ground.

"Analyze the blood on her and isolate samples that are from Kara Zor-El. I have a new plan. One that will finally provide me with a worthy heir that will enable me to conquer the universe and discover the anti-life equation once and for all." Darkseid with a grin.

"And when I'm done, what would you like me to do with her?" Desaad asked.

"Give her what she originally wanted. Send her to her precious parents and be rid of the house of Zod once and for all. They are of no further use to us. If they ever truly were." Darkseid said, since he'd promised to reunite Lora with her parents and he always kept his word. Just not always in the way the other person expected.

"As you wish, master." Desaad said as he signalled to Kalibak to carry this worthless traitor back to his lab.

Well, that was chapter 100. Hope it was worth the wait. Darkseid will return.
