Last part, up and running! The sooner it got done, the sooner I get to the Deathstroke episodes, so why not? :)

Kara to the rescue, Sanvers breaks up, and Sam makes a horrible realization.

Enjoy the end of "Damage!"

***

"Initiate release sequence," Edge ordered. "Bring the plane up three degrees."

***

Lena ran back to the cargo bay, watching the plane open, the barrels starting to rattle. Quickly, she grabbed a metal pole and slammed it down as one of the caribiners released, jamming the release and stopping the barrels from flying out.

***

"The release isn't working," the man said to Edge's chagrin. "I can't dump the payload."

***

Lena ducked when someone flew past her, then Kara landed inside the plane, grabbing a lever on the floor and pulling it back. Lena sighed in relief as the ramp closed.

***

"She's closed the ramp," the man reported.

"Only one thing left to do," Edge narrowed his eyes. "Crash the plane."

"Are you sure?" the man looked at him.

"Crash the plane!" he barked, the man hurrying to do what he said.

***

The plane rocked, and Kara yelped as she went flying into the side, Lena grabbing on to the nets on the side. "The barrels are treated to dissolve in water!" she called. "If the plane crashes, they'll poison everyone!"

Kara nodded, then leapt into the air, placing her palms against the top of the plane. "Strap in!" she shouted. Lena grabbed tighter to the nets, and Kara started to push, trying to get the plane level again. "I'm gonna get them to blow the engines!" Kara shouted.

Lena nodded again, holding on for dear life.

***

"It's not going down," the man shook his head.

"Oh, yes, it will," Edge growled. "Get up, get up, get up, get up!"

The man stood up, and Edge took his seat. He scowled when he saw one of the engines blow, then started tapping on the keyboard.

***

Kara blinked when she heard a cracking noise, then the top of the plane cracked open. She quickly grabbed both sides of the crack, watching the plane completely split. In one hand, Kara held the part of the plane with the barrels in it. In the other, she held the other part of the plane . . . with Lena tumbling to the bottom of it, screaming the entire way. "I can't hold both!" she shouted.

"Save the chemicals, not me!" Lena shouted back.

"No!" Kara shook her head desperately. "I'm not gonna drop you!"

"Let me go!" Lena insisted.

"No!" Kara shook her head violently, straining to hold onto both parts of the plane. "Climb, Lena! Climb!" Lena took a few deep breaths, then grabbed onto the netting on the side, pulling herself up towards Kara. "You can do it! Come on! Come on, you can do it!" Lena reached the top, gulping and stopping herself from looking down at the large drop. "You have to jump, now!"

Lena took a deep breath, then leaped and grabbed for Kara's hand. She released the plane to grab her, and as Lena clung to her friend, both watched the other part of the plane crash into the water. Kara pulled Lena closer to her, Lena laughing in sheer relief as Kara flew the rest of the wreckage away from the water.

***

The system crashed, and Edge narrowed his eyes, his anger building. "What do we do?" the man asked.

"Well, you shoot the console," Edge answered, pulling out a handgun, cocking it, and handing it to the man.

Confused, the man took it, Edge stepping out of the way. The man shot the console, knocking out all the systems. "What was that for?" he asked.

Edge shrugged, taking out a handkerchief and taking the gun back. "Just needed a little gunshot residue on your hands."

"No!" the man protested as Edge shot him dead without a care in the world. He left the body inside, walking out to where his car was waiting.

***

Kara waited in the shadows of Edge Global, tapping her foot impatiently, her anger about to boil over when she heard a chirp from her phone. She pulled it out, smirking when she saw the text she received.

All of us are in position.

Kara texted back a positive, then strode into Edge Global like she owned it. She walked past the cleaners and right into Edge's office. "Poisoning innocent children for your vendetta against Lena Luthor?" she demanded. "It's even lower than I expected of you, Edge."

"You know," Edge turned around from pouring himself a drink, "I sold Acre Lee Chemical over two years ago."

"Convenient," Kara rolled her eyes.

"Besides, I heard they found the guy," Edge continued. "Yeah, he was some crazed, lone wolf, former Marine, Air Force. He had a bone to pick with her family. It's too bad he killed himself, 'cause we could have brought him to justice."

"Hmm," Kara scoffed. "Too bad."

"You know, I was thinking he must have really hated her," Edge remarked. "Do you ever wonder what that feels like? That kinda hate? Because I don't think you're capable of it."

"You have no idea what I am capable of," Kara hissed.

"Is this about me now?" Edge raised an eyebrow. "Because when you got mad at me, you dumped me on a cargo ship in the middle of the sea. What a hassle. It cost me a few hours. Thirty bucks of dry cleaning. I don't know what kind of hippy-dippy justice you practiced on your planet, sweetheart, but this is the real world. It's dog-eat-dog out here. Now, if I had an enemy, I'd crush her without mercy. Let's say, for instance, I was your enemy, hmm? The thing for you to do right now would be to kill me. But you capes . . . you don't have what it takes. Do you?" Kara glared at him, and her gaze suddenly slid past him. Edge scoffed, thinking she had backed down. "Yeah. I didn't think so. You can leave the way you came in. I think the cleaning crew enjoyed the show."

Kara nodded to herself, turning to leave. She stopped with one foot out the door, then turned around. "I have hated," she informed Edge, making him turn around. "The first person I hated, you know what he did? He took the family and friends of a man I had met before, including his son. He became so desperate for help he came to me personally to ask me to help. That man I hated, he played a game, was always ten steps ahead of the person I went to help. Do you know what happened to that man, Edge?"

"Enlighten me," he said sarcastically.

"I made sure to break every bone in his body so he couldn't hurt anyone again," Kara grinned, enjoying seeing Edge choke on his drink. "Last I heard? He died in the prison he was being held in." She walked back towards him, seeing Edge was actually starting to look scared of her now. "There was one other person I hated," she held up a finger. "Just one. You know what her last name was? Luthor. Not Lena. Her mother. You see, she had this grudge against my cousin and I, said we ruined her family's lives. She took every chance she could to kill me. And when she finally got a taste of her own medicine, I got away." She folded her arms, smirking. "There's a reason no one's heard from her since then. Do you want to know what happened to Lillian Luthor, and the organization she led?" Edge didn't answer, but the color was starting to drain from his face. "Project Cadmus's headquarters was burned to the ground," she whispered, her grin widening. "The entire organization was decimated in less than two weeks. As for Lillian?" Edge looked very scared about how wide Kara was grinning now. "You remember who else was on that cargo ship with you, don't you?" When Edge's eyes widened, Kara laughed, turning around. "Guess which one killed her!"

Before Edge could say anything, something sharp pierced his wrist. Edge cried out, dropping his glass, which smashed on the ground. Kara walked out of the office, a satisfied smile on her face, and Edge stared horrified at his wrist, at the green arrow sticking out of it. He turned around, only to gasp and scramble backwards.

"Morgan Edge," the Green Arrow growled, drawing another arrow and aiming at him, joined by the Dark Archer as Black Canary and Black Siren flanking them. "You have failed this city!"

Kara closed the door to Edge's office, giving the cleaning crew a dainty wave as she strutted off, hearing Edge scream from the office.

Oh, she was glad Oliver had broken the suit out again, because that moment was completely priceless.

***

Lena watched the other members of CatCo clean up, then saw James sitting back at his desk. She blinked in surprise, walking into the office. "Mr. Olsen," she greeted. "I didn't expect you to be here."

"Well, the news never sleeps," James shrugged.

"How are you, really?" Lena asked, looking at his shoulder. "I was worried about you." James raised an eyebrow, and Lena rolled her eyes. "Really, I was. Slade Wilson and Malcolm Merlyn might have rubbed off on me a little, but I can still care."

James smirked. "Well, I'm kind of a hard man to keep down, Miss Luthor."

Lena smirked back. "You know, I have a rule. Whenever anyone takes a bullet for me, they get to call me Lena."

James chuckled. "OK, well, Lena it is. And, uh, my friends call me James. Or Jimmy."

"Well, feel better, Jimmy Olsen," Lena nodded, turning to walk out.

"Hey, uh, Lena!" James called, making her turn. James frowned, tapping his pen against the desk. "Has Kara heard anything from Slade?" he asked. "It's just been a while since he's been here."

"And not terrorizing you?" Lena teased, making James give her a look. Lena just giggled. "I'll ask her."

"OK," James nodded, and Lena nodded back, walking off.

***

Maggie put her bag down and took a deep breath. "That's everything."

"You sure you have a place to stay?" Alex asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I have a friend who's letting me crash," Maggie nodded.

"Good," Alex nodded absently. "That's good." She chewed her lip, then took a deep breath. "You know, I didn't, uh . . . " She blinked away tears, then tried again. "I didn't know I had it in me to be happy, or to be accepting of myself. I never would have gotten – " She let out a sob, then kept going. "I never would have gotten here without you."

Maggie was crying, too, though she smiled and spoke through her tears. "You made me deal with my own stuff. Confronted my past, stopped covering up the things I didn't wanna look at." She started crying some more, her words broken up. "I'm stronger – I'm stronger for it, you know. I'm really grateful. Thank you."

Alex nodded, then held out her arms. "Can I?"

"Yeah, you can," Maggie rushed to her.

Alex hugged her tightly, squeezing her eyes shut, tears falling despite that. She didn't want to let go, but eventually she had to. Maggie took a deep breath, picking up her bag and walking to the door. She stopped and turned around, giving one last brave smile. "See you around, Danvers," she said.

"Yeah," she sniffed. "See you, Mags."

Maggie opened the door and was nearly out before turning back around. "You're gonna be a great mom," she said before closing the door.

Alex took a deep breath, walking over to the door before turning around and leaning against it, dissolving into tears, looking at their engagement rings lying on the table by the door.

"Score another for Team SuperArrow," Lena smirked as she and Kara crashed on Sam's couch, the other woman taking a call in the other room.

"Uh huh," Kara giggled. "Oh, you should have seen the picture Felicity managed to grab of Edge's face when the others showed up. It is pure gold."

"Oh, I wish," Lena giggled back. "Thanks for saving me. Again."

"Of course," Kara nudged her with her elbow. "I'm not losing another family member."

Lena smiled gratefully, then perked up. "Speaking of family . . . " Kara tilted her head. "Have you heard anything from Slade?" Lena asked, seeing Kara droop slightly at that. "Jimmy and I both noticed he hasn't been around as much anymore."

"Uh, no, he hasn't been in Star City, either," Kara shook her head. "It's personal, but I told him to call if he ever needed help. So far, silence." She sighed. "I hope he's OK."

"Something tells me Slade Wilson can handle himself," Lena smirked, making Kara laugh. "And the rest of the family?"

"Ah," Kara nodded. "Already went back over to Earth-1. Oliver and I worked it out. He and the others spent the majority of their time here, so I'll just go for an extended stay next time I go."

"Well, just let me know when, I'll sort it out at CatCo," Lena promised.

"Cheers," Kara grinned, reaching for her wine glass.

"Cheers," Lena responded, the two of them clinking glasses.

"Thank you," Sam's voice came from behind them, and they turned to see her hang up. "Good news," she announced, walking in. "The antidote L-Corp synthesized is working. The kids are getting better."

Kara sighed in relief. "Thank God," Lena smiled.

"Thank you," Sam took the offered glass from Kara.

"You guys, I need to say thank you for not giving up on me and not letting me give up on myself," Lena told them.

"Well, I think Kara and I made a pretty good team," Sam smirked.

"Uh, more than pretty good, if I do say so myself," Kara smirked back, holding out her glass.

Sam grinned, clinking their glasses together as Lena laughed. "I probably also should apologize to you," she told Kara. "I mean, I'm lucky you're still speaking to me."

"Hey, when you're family, you can say what you need to say, and the people that love you still will love you," Kara patted her shoulder.

"That's right," Sam agreed.

"I've never had anyone like that in my life," Lena sighed.

"That's because you've never had a sister," Kara tossed an arm over her shoulders.

Lena laughed, touched, only for Sam to curl in as well. "Two," she said smugly. "Two sisters."

The three of them laughed and cuddled together, Lena blushing from the attention. "Aw, it's too much," Kara giggled, only to straighten when her phone rang. "Oh, hang on." She reached over to check who it was, then answered. "Alex?" she asked, only to blanch when she heard her sister. "I gotta go," she turned.

They both saw the worried look on her face. "Go," they said almost at the same time, and Kara ran to get her coat.

***

Kara entered the alien bar, seeing Alex right at the bar, an arrangement of empty shot glasses in front of her. "Lost Maggie, at a bar, drinking," Alex muttered as Kara stopped by her. "I'm broken." She lifted her shot glass. "Guess now I can say I know how you felt when you lost Mon-El."

Kara kissed the top of Alex's head, then pulled out her phone. She dialed J'onn's number and put her phone to her ear. "J'onn, this is Kara," she said. "You're gonna have to get by at the D.E.O. without Alex and I for a couple of days. Yeah." She hung up, turning to Alex. "We are going back to your place, and you're gonna pack a bag."

"Where are we going?" Alex frowned.

"We're going home," Kara answered simply.

***

"Luke's gonna be OK?" Ruby asked as Sam tucked her in.

"Yeah, baby, he's gonna be OK," Sam nodded.

"I really like your friends," Ruby mumbled.

Sam laughed. "You know what? I like 'em, too. But I like you more."

She leaned down, kissing Ruby on the forehead, then Ruby frowned. "There's a hole in your shirt."

Sam blinked, looking down. Sure enough, there was a hole in the green fabric. "That's weird," she frowned, then turned to Ruby. "I love you."

"Love you," Ruby answered as Sam turned off the light.

Sam shut Ruby's door, then hurried back to the kitchen, looking for her jacket. She pulled it off the chair and checked its pockets, freezing when she heard something metal clatter onto the island. She slowly looked down, eyes widening when she saw the misshapen bullet there. Misshapen like it had hit something but hadn't done any damage . . .

Something like her, Sam realized in horror, remembering the mother had taken aim at her first.

Quickly, she pulled up her shirt, searching for any sign of damage, but her skin was completely smooth, unblemished. Sam whimpered, looking back down at the bullet.

How could a bullet shot not hurt her?! It should have!

***

Oh, Sam . . . I feel so sorry for you.

I'm posting this on fanfiction.net as well as Wattpad, and one of the reviewers asked to see Green Arrow give "you have failed this city" to Edge. I agreed that needed to be done. So, voila. :)

I don't plan to write "Midvale" in its entirety, nor do I plan on writing "Reversal," since Kara is with Alex for that entire episode, and nothing would change much. So, both are going to be combined into a sort-of interlude going into the next episodes which are, you guessed, the Deathstroke ones. :)

See you guys soon!
