OK, this will definitely be the last update for the next few days. I don't have finals every day, but the ones I will have are ones that I definitely need to pass for my major, so bear with me, guys.

Part two of the adventure to Earth-38, and Nate and Jesse get some action.

***

Kara pushed her super speed to her limits, landing on top of L-Corp's building and evading being seen by everyone down on the streets below. Poor Nate was bent over double, sounding like he was trying to avoid losing the contents of his stomach. Jesse, however, was grinning and bouncing up and down. "That was so cool!"

"That was almost as bad as my first time jump in the Waverider," Nate groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose and slowly standing upright again. "Never again."

"Never again as in never flying or never that fast?" Kara couldn't help but tease him.

"Guess," Nate deadpanned.

Kara giggled and gave him a quick hug. "Sorry, Nate."

"It's fine," Nate gave her a small squeeze. "Just warn me next time."

Kara nodded. "In that case, I'll fly you down to Lena's balcony. Jesse, can you follow?"

"Yeah," she nodded.

Nate braced himself as Kara grabbed the collar of his suit, then flew down to Lena's office. A quick use of her hearing proved that Lena was alone, and muttering to herself as she worked on something. When she heard Lena say Barry's name, she gulped and placed Nate down. Jesse sped down less than a second later. She made sure her footsteps could be heard, even as she knocked on the door.

Lena spun around, reaching for the taser Kara knew she had under her desk, but when she saw who it was outside, her eyes bugged wide, and she leapt up, running to the door. Kara barely comprehended the door opening before Lena launched at her and hugged her tightly with an exclamation of "Oh, thank God!"

Kara stumbled, eyes wide in shock at the reception she had just gotten. Nate and Jesse both looked at each other, uncertain as to what to do. However, before Kara could hug her friend back, Lena pulled back and scowled. "Where have you been?" she demanded. "It was like you disappeared off the face of the planet! Please tell me you found somewhere safe, at least!"

Kara's mouth opened and closed like a fish for a few seconds before she swallowed, tears in her eyes. "Why are you still worried about me?"

Lena stopped mid-rant, then blinked, as if surprised Kara would ask such a thing. "You're my friend," she said like it was obvious.

Kara blinked rapidly. "But – I lied to you! I mean, look at me!"

"It didn't matter if you were Kara Danvers or Supergirl," Lena folded her arms, frowning. "You always saw the good in me that no one else did. You've had my back, and even if you never told me you were Supergirl, you've trusted me. I knew you had to have a good reason for not telling me, because I couldn't believe for an instant that you didn't tell me just because you're a Super and I'm a Luthor."

Kara blushed slightly, scratching the back of her head. "I actually would have liked the chance to tell someone else on my accord."

"What?" Lena blinked.

"All my life – until I started being Supergirl, of course – I've been told to keep my powers secret. It's dangerous if someone knows who I am. Of course my family knows, Alex and the Danvers family helped raise me. But James knew because my cousin asked him to look after me. The Director of the D.E.O. knows because my adoptive father asked him to protect me and Alex. The only one I myself told was Winn, and I had known him for a few years before I told him." She grinned. "I jumped off CatCo's building to show him."

Lena grinned. "That must have been a shock."

"Just a bit," Kara giggled.

Nate cleared his throat. "No offense, Kara, but there's two overprotective vigilantes who want this to be as quick as possible, and one of them is my captain, and I'd rather not piss her off."

"Right," Kara shook her head, clearing it. "Lena, I'm really sorry, but I can't stay longer than I need to. I've found a place to stay, and it's as far away from danger as I can get, considering who's after me."

"Mon-El," Lena nodded.

"It's my ex – what?" Kara gawked at her.

"It's how I found out," Lena explained, a slightly sheepish look on her face. "I went to CatCo to ask Mr. Olsen if he knew where you were when Mon-El walked in. Mr. Olsen didn't seem to want to speak to him, so I listened to what they were saying." Kara's eyes widened further as Lena blushed slightly. "And I may have been trying to find out where you've been ever since."

Behind Kara, Jesse was giggling. "Kara, you have awesome friends."

"I certainly do," Kara finally grinned, holding out her arms. "You didn't let me hug you back, come on!"

Lena laughed and hugged her. "I've missed you so much, Kara."

"I've been gone for . . . actually, how long have I been gone for?"

"Enough for my dear mother to make a ruckus," Lena grumbled, biting her lip. "The next time you come back – because you've got to – you've got to keep an eye out for her. The message they sent out made it sound like they got rid of you."

Nate frowned. "That's unlikely."

"Actually, it's very, if they've got as much Kryptonite as it sounds like they could have," Lena shook her head. "Mother is very anti-Kryptonian after what Superman did to Lex, and considering Supergirl has foiled every one of her plots since Cadmus broke away from the government, she has no love for her, either."

"So Daxamites and Cadmus," Kara ran a hand over her face. "Oh, Rao . . . "

"Hey," Nate put a hand on her shoulder. "We've got your back no matter who you're up against, remember? Besides, after aliens, a bunch of humans should be a piece of cake."

Kara smiled slightly. "Thanks, Nate."

"Excuse me, you can't go in there!"

Lena frowned, hearing her secretary protest from outside her door. "Jess?" she called in concern.

The door burst open, and Kara blanched when Mon-El stormed in, Jess running in behind him. "I tried to stop him, ma'am, I told him you haven't been seeing anyone for the past few days," she babbled.

Kara quickly stepped in front of Lena, seeing Nate and Jesse duck out of sight. "Get out," she ordered.

Mon-El stopped, then smirked. "When my father contacted the ship to say you weren't at the Fortress, I thought I might find you here."

Kara swallowed. "You knew I came back."

"I was at the D.E.O. when the extrapolator was tested. Yes, we knew."

"Jess, leave," Lena ordered. "Forget this happened."

Jess practically ran out the door. "Get out of here," Kara ordered, curling her fingers into fists.

"You know I can't do that," Mon-El shook his head, walking further into the office.

"The door is right behind you," Lena said scathingly. "Just turn around and walk out. It's not that hard."

Nate barely held back from snorting. He looked around Lena's desk to see Jesse peeking out from behind her couch. "I like her," the female speedster mouthed.

Nate nodded in agreement. "Ms. Luthor," Mon-El began.

"Don't Ms. Luthor me, you son of a bitch," Lena growled. "I don't know what the hell my best friend ever did to you, but you do not get to come in here and expect her to leave with you."

Mon-El's gaze hardened. "My people are in danger the longer she stays alive."

"If I know one thing about Supergirl, it's that she's not a killer," Lena retorted. "Are you really stupid enough to think she'd do that?"

Mon-El didn't answer. Instead, he turned to Kara. "Which one of them at the Fortress is the last one?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kara said casually.

"The blonde told my father who she was," Mon-El narrowed his eyes. "Where's Barry? And where's the last of the prophecy?"

Kara snorted. "Like I'd tell you."

Mon-El raised an eyebrow. "My father keeps calling for reinforcements. The archer and the blonde are almost out of lead weapons, and the burning man and the one with the flamethrower can't hold out forever. Neither can J'onn. Tell me which one it is, or all of them die when my father calls in the rest of his men."

"Burn, you freaks!" Mick snarled, jamming his knife into a Daxamite's neck and using his gun on the next two that approached.

"We're a bit outnumbered here!" Jax narrowly avoided an energy blast aimed at him.

Oliver gritted his teeth, watching Lar Gand expertly duel J'onn, neither alien truly getting the upper hand. "Canary!"

"I don't know where they are!" came the tense reply as Sara slid on the ground, her knife slicing through one Daxamite's leg.

Lar Gand paused suddenly, then smirked, banging his pike on the ground. As one, the Daxamites around them paused in unison. Mick frowned, looking around. "Was that all one of us had to do?"

"My son found your Kryptonian," Lar Gand announced, and Oliver's hand tightened on his bow. "There is only one chance for any of you to get out of here alive." His iron gaze swept over everyone from Earth-1. "Which of you is the Last Survivor of Hell?"

There was dead silence from everyone. Then Sara burst out laughing. "You really think we'd be stupid enough to have three of us come over?"

Lar Gand narrowed his eyes. "If the Son of Speed is as protective of the Kryptonian as my son says he is, how could the other two of the prophecy resist coming?"

Jax snorted. "He isn't the only one protective of her."

"Kid's right," Mick growled. "She's got more of us on her side than you think."

Oliver heard a familiar hissing noise and smirked. "Guess you shouldn't have wasted your time talking, Your Highness."

The breach sprang open behind them, and out jumped Cisco in full Vibe gear, Thea and Dig with him in their suits. "Go!" Cisco shouted as Thea drew a sword of pure lead from her back, Dig aiming his pistol at the nearest Daxamite.

Jax was the first to fly through as Dig fired. He must have gotten the lead bullets from Gideon, because the shot was a through and through, and the Daxamite jerked before collapsing. Thea swung her sword violently, almost decapitating the Daxamite she attacked. As Lar Gand screamed for back-up, J'onn turned to Oliver. "Protect her!" he called.

Oliver nodded firmly, backing up towards the breach as Mick went through. He and Sara were the next ones through, Thea and Dig covering their backs. As soon as they were through, Sara bent over double, taking deep breaths. "I have never been more grateful to hear of a weakness like lead," she panted.

"Agreed," Oliver threw back his hood, removing his mask. He paused, however, when he didn't see three people. "Kara still isn't here?" he looked around worriedly as Thea and Dig came through with Cisco.

"No," Alex shook her head, her face pale. "Cisco said he would try to get a lock on her when he came back."

"I've nearly got it," Cisco ran to the console. "I just need to trace her extrapolator."

***

"He's not gonna stop until you're dead, is he?" Lena whispered.

"No," Kara answered quietly.

"Then get out of here!"

"Not now that he knows about you!" Kara shook her head. "You're a target now, Lena!"

"I can take care of myself!"

"Against the Daxamites?"

Lena opened her mouth to respond when she suddenly saw Mon-El take a syringe full of green liquid from his pocket. "Kara!"

She spun around to see what Mon-El had done when a flash of yellow lightning sped by. Mon-El flipped end over end before landing on his back, the vial of Kryptonite smashing harmlessly against the wall. Jesse spun around, narrowing her eyes. "Oh, no you don't," she growled.

"Go," Lena shoved Kara slightly.

"Yeah," she nodded without complaint this time, pulling out her extrapolator.

Mon-El got to his feet rather quickly, but before he could make a move towards Kara, Nate emerged from his hiding place and turned to steel, wrapping his arm around Mon-El's neck in a chokehold. "I don't think so," he warned.

Kara activated her extrapolator, looking at Lena. "You're not safe with him knowing," she said.

Lena licked her lips. "Then I'm going with you."

"What?!" Kara's eyes bugged open. They turned around when they heard Mon-El grunt, and they saw Nate punch him to the ground before aiming a punch at his head, knocking the Daxamite out. Kara finally swallowed and turned to Lena. "Some people aren't going to like this."

"I can hold my own," Lena promised, running to her desk and grabbing her laptop.

Kara nodded and gestured to the breach, taking Lena's arm. Jesse ran forward and grabbed Nate, and Kara sped through with Lena, Jesse taking Nate, the breach snapping shut behind them.

***

The moment a breach not formed by Cisco formed at the end of the room, everyone sprang up. Kara stumbled out, supporting a woman with black hair pulled in a tight ponytail, clutching a laptop close to her, her other arm around Kara, who was keeping her upright. Jesse and Nate were out a second later, Nate in steel form. Kara quickly shut the breach down, taking a few deep breaths and turning around. "Mon-El burst into Lena's office," she quickly explained. "It was dangerous for her to be there while he knows."

"Are you OK?" Winn was the first to hurry forward.

"Yeah, we're fine," Kara nodded.

"I just didn't expect Kara to come back," Lena admitted.

"Punching Mon-El was fun, though," Nate remarked, reverting his skin back to normal. "Especially after he tried to use liquid Kryptonite on Kara."

"He did what?" Oliver narrowed his eyes.

"Jesse and Nate stopped him," Kara assured him. "But I couldn't leave Lena there."

"So we're taking in strays now?" Mick frowned.

"She's my friend!" Kara glared at him.

"And I'm not the CEO of my brother's company because I'm an idiot," Lena glared heatedly at him, too. "Kara's my friend, and I think her ex is a poor excuse of a living being."

Cisco snorted. "Well, we all agree on that, at least."

"See why we like her?" Winn grinned.

"Thanks for supporting her," Alex smiled hesitantly at Lena.

"Why wouldn't I?" Lena raised an eyebrow. "I'm not my brother, or my mother."

Alex nodded, biting her lip, then saw Oliver look over at her and tilt his head to the side. She walked over, she and Oliver standing with their backs to the others. "Do you trust her when she says that?" he asked lowly.

"I do," Alex nodded after a few moments. "Her mother's had several opportunities to convert Lena to her way of thinking, and Lena's never fallen for it. Kara absolutely trusts her, and she's brilliant. If she wants to help, I think she will."

Oliver nodded. "Good thing she hates Mon-El, too."

"Oh?"

Oliver scoffed. "It sounds like he wasn't expecting Kara to have back-up. He's an idiot."

Alex couldn't help but grin. "You don't like him."

"It hasn't been obvious?" Oliver snorted. "No, I don't. And the more people Kara has on her side, the better."

Alex smirked. "I like the way you think."

***

Winn couldn't help but gulp when he saw the look on Alex's face. "Uh oh." When he saw Thea raise an eyebrow at him, he nodded at Alex. "I know that look."

"Really?" Thea tilted her head. "What is it?"

"That's the look Alex gets when she's found someone to help her plot world domination." At Thea's incredulous look, Winn smiled sheepishly. "Or at the very least rain terror upon someone they both hate."

Thea's loud laughter and Winn's wide grin drew surprised looks fromeverywhere.

***

And so Lena joins the gang on Earth-1. Hoped you liked the exchange between Alex and Oliver, as well as Nate with Kara!

The confrontation with Savitar will be coming soon!
