Team SuperArrow tries to save Supergirl and bring down Edge and Lane. Luckily, they've got a bit of help.

Enjoy!

"She's gonna confront Edge at the gala?" J'onn asked in surprise as everyone convened back by the main console.

"She'll get him to do it in front of all the heaviest hitters in National City," Lena nodded. "Everyone will see the Girl of Steel be just like she was when she was Red K-ed before, scaring the living daylights out of a civilian. That's more the vigilantes' style than hers." She paused, then winced. "No offense."

"None taken," Oliver smirked.

"That was a compliment," Laurel chuckled.

"So we need to get to the gala first and get a confession from him before Kara gets to him," Winn nodded.

"And when she shows up, we hit her with the cure," Max walked up. "I just finished running a few tests. It's raring to go."

"My father will be there, too," Lucy warned. "He'll be there to take her down."

"So we'll be trying to hit her with the cure while she's trying to avoid being killed by Lane," Oliver frowned, tapping a finger on the console. "We'll never be able to keep up with her."

"Imra and I could try and help," Mon-El offered. "I mean, I don't know if we're fast enough to shoot Kara with the cure, but we could try and keep her in place, or keep the army off her."

Oliver, however, started to smile. "You don't need to be fast enough." He looked up, grinning widely. "We already know someone who would win in a speed duel against Kara."

"This is one thing I don't regret leaving behind in National City," Max sighed as he and Lena approached the gala.

"What, you weren't a fan of giving National City more trees?" Lena snorted.

"Nah," Max rolled his eyes. "I swear I was more fake at galas like these than I ever was on camera."

"Right," Lena smirked. "Like you were never fake before?"

"Ouch," Max grinned.

"Whenever you two are done flirting," Lucy griped over the comms.

"Did you find him?" Laurel asked.

"I don't know," Lena frowned. "Look for the shiniest red dress, and I'm sure you'll find the mouth-breather Edge behind it."

Max stopped, then pointed. "Try shiny red lipstick."

Lena rolled her eyes in disgust when she saw Edge, then sighed when she saw the man in a suit standing nearby. "I should have known about the ear piece."

Max smirked. "Good thing a few others had an idea." The guard suddenly smacked his neck, blinking down at his hand when he didn't find a bug. He jerked again, swatting around himself. "Come on," Max grabbed Lena's arm, hustling her right past. "Smart," he said quietly under his breath.

"He's gonna feel that later," Malcolm said smugly.

"I've got two pools and a very large hot tub," Edge was sweet talking the woman with him as the two walked up.

"You know, you really should be careful of standing water," Lena smoothly inserted herself into the conversation, Max backing away to keep an eye out for Kara. "It's usually riddled with disease."

The woman eyed Edge nervously, who plastered a very fake smile on his face. "I'll catch up with you later." The woman moved off, and Edge hissed, "How in the hell did you get past my security?"

"I don't know," Lena tilted her head innocently. "It's almost as easy as poisoning a cup of coffee. That was low, even for you. At least crashing a plane had a certain kind of elaborate elegance, but poisoning? That's just a coward's method."

"No idea what you're talking about," Edge brushed it off, taking a sip of his drink.

"Yeah," Lena nodded, smirking. "You know, I thought you'd say that, so . . . "

She slipped a slim object out of her purse, holding it up for Edge to see. "What is that, some sort of a weapon?" Edge asked. "A bomb? You gonna try to kill me in public?"

"I wish."

"Shut up, wizard."

"Magician!"

"Will the two of you shut up?!"

Lena's lips quirked as she tried to ignore Malcolm, Slade, and Laurel over the comms. "No," she said. "I'm actually here to save you."

"From who, yourself?" Edge asked sarcastically.

"Supergirl," Lena answered, making Edge pause. "She went after you tonight, didn't she? You see, she didn't hack into your car, but I know who did. And the person who did it has poisoned her with something that's effecting her mind. And because of it, she's gonna try and come after you again, right here, unless I find a way to stop her."

"Supergirl," Edge chuckled nervously. "America's golden girl, turning rogue to come after Morgan Edge? But why?"

"Because you screwed with her friend," Lena answered, looking up as the fireworks and light show began. "I know how to help her, but unless you confess, she'll come and get it out of you herself. She might even kill you for it, and I don't think either of us want that."

"I have nothing to confess to," Edge shook his head.

"Such a small thing considering your life may be on the line," Lena eyed him. "I mean, granted, you will spend the rest of it in prison, but let's not sweat the details. So me, or a mind warped Girl of Steel." She turned the recorder on, smiling. "Tick tock."

"You're insane, you know that?" Edge protested.

"Admit you tried to kill me," Lena countered.

"Incoming!" Max suddenly yelled.

There was a crash on the table next to them, and Edge and Lena spun around to see Kara stand from her crouch, in full Supergirl regalia. "I warned you I would find you, Edge," she smirked, stepping down off the table she smashed. "And here I am."

"The hell?" Edge scurried backwards, Lena hurrying to get out of the way.

"I believe Ms. Luthor asked you a question," Kara walked right after him, then glared at the guard who tried to stand between her and his client. "I'm not talking to you," she sneered, backhanding him and sending him crashing into a post nearby.

Max pulled Lena back. "Guys?" he reached up to touch his comms. "We could use some backup here!"

"Alpha team is thirty seconds out," J'onn responded.

"We need them here in five!"

"Max," Lucy cut in. "My dad's already there."

Kara barely turned when army vehicles drove up to the gala. "The waterfront," she told Edge, backing him up against the wall. "You remember that, don't you? It's the one you wanted for your development. You weren't very happy about that, were you? And then suddenly, missiles attack the statue unveiling. Coincidence?" she mocked him.

"Supergirl!" Lane yelled as he and his men swarmed, civilians hurrying to get out of the way.

"The lead poisoning," Kara continued, putting her heel on Edge's chest, making him wince as she stepped down on him. "Innocent children who swam in a pool got those symptoms. Except it wasn't Ms. Luthor's bomb that poisoned them. It was chemicals in the pool. And that night, you tried to send her into the water with a plane full of those chemicals. You would have poisoned National City's water just to frame a Luthor."

"Supergirl, stand down, or we will shoot!" Lane threatened.

"Ten seconds!" J'onn called.

"We need them now!" Max yelled.

"You thought she hijacked your car," Kara leaned down, getting right in Edge's face, eyes glowing ominously. "You wouldn't think otherwise. So you paid a hitman to poison her coffee. Poison's a coward's weapon, Edge." Her eyes glowed even brighter. "And if you won't confess, then so are you."

"Fire!" Lane bellowed, his men taking aim.

The temperature in the air suddenly decreased, and Lane's men went flying as an ice slide came from nowhere, knocking them off their feet. Caitlin glided down the slide, shimmering silver eyes narrowed as yellow lightning raced down as well. It hit Kara just before her heat vision hit Edge in the shoulder.

A breach opened up where Kara had stood, and Cisco and Ralph jumped out, followed by Oliver, Slade, Malcolm, and Laurel. "Don't kill!" Oliver ordered, drawing an arrow and aiming at the army.

"No fun!" Malcolm scoffed, drawing an arrow of his own as Slade and Laurel raced forward.

Lena walked out from where she was hiding over to Edge as Barry sped Kara away. "Ready to confess?" she asked, holding out the recording device.

Edge fearfully looked over to see Mon-El fly into Kara so she wouldn't approach Edge again, Barry racing after them. He looked over at the four vigilantes, Caitlin, and Cisco holding off the army, Ralph using his powers to pull civilians away from the carnage, then gulped. "OK," he held up his hands. "I did it. All of it. The waterfront, the lead poisoning, I tried to kill you. I tried to cover my tracks. Just stop all this madness!"

***

Mon-El and Kara faced each other in the sky, Kara glaring at Mon-El. "Let me have him," she growled.

"I can't let you do that," he shook his head.

"He tried to kill my friend!"

"That doesn't mean you can kill him!"

"Move, Mon-El."

He shook his head. "No."

"Move!" Kara yelled, zooming towards him.

Mon-El braced himself, and when Kara crashed into him, they went into freefall to the ground. A crater formed in the pavement where they landed, and both hurriedly got to their feet. Kara spun around, using her x-ray vision to find Edge, when a forcefield formed around her, keeping her in place. Kara balked, using her fists to try and punch through the field, but Imra grimaced, keeping her hand outstretched. It was only when yellow lightning zipped their way did Imra lower the forcefield.

Kara immediately took off, tossing Imra aside as she flew back to the gala. Barry raced after her, running up another building and jumping onto her. Startled, Kara twisted to see who was on her. When she did, Barry pointed the cure gun at her and fired.

The red light hit Kara in the chest, and with a yelp, she crashed down at the gala. She spasmed as Barry continued to shoot her, Lena and Max watching hopefully. Finally, the Red Kryptonite seeped out of Kara and misted into the air, and Kara's eyes fluttered shut, the Kryptonian going limp on the ground.

Max walked over and bent down over her, pressing his fingers to Kara's pulse. He nodded in confirmation when he found one, then stood up. "She's fine," he announced.

A green Kryptonite bullet pierced a pedestal nearby, sending civilians scrambling. "But it was like she was two years ago!" someone yelled.

"Yes, it was," Max agreed, pulling out his phone. "But I have something you'll want to hear."

"So you concocted a plan based on the faintest idea that Supergirl would be effected by Red Kryptonite and she would go after the first person she thought of after someone close to her was harmed," Lucy's voice said as Laurel screamed, one army vehicle thrown end over end into another, Kara's eyes trying to open when she heard it.

"And it worked, didn't it?" Lane's voice was next as one soldier went down with a cry, Slade whipping his sword out of his thigh and shooting another soldier in the shoulder, throwing his aim off. "All that needed to happen was the right push, and the guilty party will take the blame."

"Morgan Edge's car hacking. That was you?" Malcolm launched an explosive arrow, the blast tossing half a dozen soldiers into the water.

"The rivalry between Morgan Edge and Lena Luthor is something everyone in the city knows. Including Supergirl, who seems to be very buddy buddy with Ms. Luthor. All that needed to happen was push Edge to the point he retaliated to kill Ms. Luthor." Caitlin froze three soldiers' fingers to their triggers, Cisco blasting them head over heels and into the water as well.

"Except she's still alive." Ralph wrapped his arms around two pillars, moving backwards until he was taut, then shot forward like a slingshot, curling his body into a ball and ramming into an entire squad of soldiers, leaving the route to Lane open.

"I admit, it would have been more convenient if she died. But Supergirl will come for Edge again. And when she does . . . we'll be there to show the world that every Kryptonian should be our enemy."

Lane drew his sidearm, only to tense as Oliver strode up to face him down, his emerald eyes as cold as ice. "You messed with the wrong woman, General," he snarled the title in disgust.

"General Lane poisoned her," Max explained, turning to glare at the general, seeing him facing off with Oliver. "A form of Kryptonite synthetically designed to bring out the worst in her. He's trying to turn your hero into someone she isn't, and he would have let two of National City's elite die just to get what he wanted."

Lane sneered, turning to glare at him. "I thought we were on the same side, Lord!"

"I gave up my grudge on Supergirl after she saved the world," Max narrowed his eyes. "The moment that happened, I was never on your side again."

Lane growled. "So be it."

"Arrow, look out!" Cisco shouted.

Oliver looked up in time to see something soar down from the sky and start encasing Lane from head to toe. "Holy crap, is that the Lexosuit?" Winn yelped. "That is awesome!"

"And Lane wants to kill us with it," Laurel pointed out, Caitlin narrowing her eyes.

" . . . it's gonna be awesome when you all freaking destroy that thing!"

"Nice save," Oliver clenched his bow tighter.

Lane's head turned, and Oliver did as well, realizing Kara had risen to her feet, this anger entirely her own, not Red Kryptonite induced. "Suit's a bit much, don't you think?" she spat.

"Says the girl in the cape," Lane sneered.

Kara flew forward, but a blade of pure Kryptonite came out of the suit, and Kara yelped when Lane swiped at her, knocking her back into a lamppost. Oliver quickly ran to check on her, Laurel whipping around to face Lane. He drew back his blade to stab her, but one of the drones from the light show crashed into him, knocking him off balance. "I'm sorry," Mon-El tilted his head innocently as Imra flew to his side, Barry running to stand underneath them. "Did that hit you?"

***

Max and Lena herded civilians inside the building, away from the destruction being caused outside, and both paused when Edge cornered them, an ice pick in his hand. "Give me the tape," he sneered. "Now!"

Lena narrowed her eyes, but the clicking of safeties being released behind Edge made him pause. "How about you give us the pick," Lucy aimed the gun she held at his head.

Edge turned around, trying to find a way out of the problem, only for Joe with his sidearm to approach on one side, Harry with his rifle on the other. James, suited up as the Guardian, came to watch Max and Lena's backs. As soon as his back was turned, Lucy kicked him in the back, sending him sprawling to the ground. Lena wrinkled her nose in disgust, looking down at her rival. "Ass," she declared, using the toe of her heel to kick in him the head, knocking him out.

Joe snorted, lowering his gun as Lucy walked over to pick up the ice pick. "If half the things I've heard about this guy is true, that is the understatement of the century."

"Trust me," Harry walked forward, slinging his rifle behind him. "It is." He looked at Lena in concern. "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine," she promised, unable to keep a smile off her face. "Just my quarterly assassination attempt, you know?"

Harry smirked. "Why is it I'm always saving you from it?"

Unable to help herself, Lena reached up and kissed him. "Wouldn't have it any other way."

***

Kara took a few deep breaths, then put a hand on Oliver's arm, giving him a steely look. He smirked, looking up at Lane. "Go show him who he messed with," he told her, backing up.

Kara nodded, and as Oliver backed away, she shot into the sky as Lane swiveled to face off with Mon-El and Imra. When the Kryptonian appeared behind him, he turned to face her. Kara fired her heat vision immediately, trying to melt the armor. Below her, on the ground, Barry started running in a circle, building up electricity fast. Getting the idea, Caitlin soared up to the Lexosuit's level, Cisco breaching himself onto the building closest. When Barry finally finished building up a charge, he threw the lightning he conjured at the Lexosuit, Caitlin shooting ice from her hands, Cisco firing energy blasts from his hands. Lightning, ice, and vibe blasts combined with Kara's heat vision tossed Lane out of the sky, and when he hit the ground, the Lexosuit fell off him in pieces, the general knocked out.

Lucy looked down at her father with no emotion in her eyes, and the others looked up as Kara, Mon-El, Imra, Cisco, Caitlin, and Barry returned. "Nice work," James complimented.

"Thanks," Barry grinned.

Kara just looked down at Edge, swallowing hard. "Supergirl?" Lena asked cautiously, walking away from Harry towards her.

Kara couldn't seem to tear her eyes away from the man she had almost killed. "Supergirl?" Max prompted, Lucy coming to stand with him. "Do you remember what happened?"

"I . . . " She gulped, tears filling her eyes. "I remember everything."

***

"You know these charges are never gonna stick, right?" Edge ranted as he was led by the police in handcuffs, right past where Lena was standing with Harry, Joe, and Lucy. "You better run, 'cause when I get back, I'm gonna crush you!"

"Well, you know where to find me," Lena's grin was all teeth. "My name's on the building!"

Edge sneered at her. "Careful," Max grinned as well as he approached, this time with Slade, Malcolm, and Laurel. "Your face might freeze like that!"

Lucy's laughter followed Edge as he was led to the police cruiser. Kara, now dressed more formally and out of her suit, sat by the fountain, arms around her knees, Oliver's arm around her. "It was Red Kryptonite again, wasn't it?" she asked faintly.

"It was," Oliver nodded.

"Rao, I'm going to kill Lord," Kara closed her eyes.

"If it wasn't for Lord, and for Lucy, we would've had no idea what happened to you," Oliver shook his head. "They worked together to bring what happened to the D.E.O., and the second he got the chance, he started working on the cure."

"I can't believe Lane did this," Kara looked down at her shaking hands. "Again."

"This is the end for him," Oliver told her. "He won't get to hurt you again."

Kara smiled faintly. "Good."

Oliver squeezed her shoulder as the others walked up. "This is CatCo's," Lena told Kara with a smile, holding up the recorder. "Although, I may have to expense them another one, 'cause I think the police are gonna wanna look at this."

"It's CatCo's," Kara managed a smile. "So, technically, it's your property."

Lena smiled, sitting down on her other side. "I'm not a killer," she announced. "You wanna know why?"

"Why?" Oliver humored her.

"Friends," she answered.

"Well, that's what we're for," Laurel grinned. "We get each other through the dark times."

"That we do," Lucy smiled, walking over to Kara. "And we have each other's backs, too."

"Even when it's against family?" Kara looked up at her.

"Especially when it's against family that deserves it," Lucy nodded.

Kara stood and hugged Lucy tightly, the major returning it just as tightly. "Thank you," Kara's voice cracked.

"You're welcome," Lucy rubbed her back.

***

The entire D.E.O. stood at attention as army guards led Lane towards the garage, where he would be headed straight to prison. "You betrayed me," he growled, stopping by his daughter, who was standing with J'onn, Alex, and Supergirl.

"You shouldn't have tried to kill a friend in cold blood," Lucy countered, lifting her chin and staring her father in the eye, Max smirking behind her. "I would do it again if I had to."

"Burn in hell, General," Alex sneered. "You deserve to."

Lane took a threatening step forward, but stopped when the Green Arrow, the Dark Archer, Deathstroke, Black Siren, the Flash, Vibe, Killer Frost, and the Elongated Man came forward as well, all more than ready to throw another punch at the general who had dared to hurt someone on their team. "Take him away," J'onn ordered.

The soldiers tugged Lane off without further ado, and Kara relaxed as the man who tried to kill her went out of sight. "It's over," she said quietly.

"Yes," J'onn nodded as everyone joined them, Oliver putting his arm around his fiancée. "It's over." He turned to Lucy and Max. "It's been a pleasure, Major Lane. And you, too, Mr. Lord."

"Actually," Max folded his arms, rocking on his heels. "I was thinking I might stick around for a little while. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed that adrenaline rush."

"I agree," Lucy nodded and smiled, looking up at J'onn. "I could use a change of scenery for a while, and this base is much more my style than that base out in the desert. That's if you'll have me, Director."

J'onn chuckled, seeing Kara's eyes light up, Alex grinning. "I think we will, Major Lane. I could always use a third in command. Welcome back to the D.E.O."

"Happy to be back, sir," Lucy saluted crisply.

***

"Yes, thank you." Sam looked up fearfully as Alex finished speaking on the phone, Kara and Lena inching closer to her. Alex hung up, walking over to sit across from them. "OK, so, all the test results came back clear." Sam closed her eyes and leaned her head back, Lena patting her on the back as Kara smiled. "No tumor, no blood disorders, nothing. You are as healthy as an Olympic athlete."

"Really?" Sam asked, leaning forward and putting her head in her hands.

"Sam, this is a really good thing," Kara insisted. "All of the worst possibilities have been ruled out."

"No, I know," Sam nodded. "I know. It's just . . . I mean, if it's nothing, then what's happening to me?"

"We'll figure it out, OK?" Alex told her. "I promise. But for right now, just take the good news."

"Alex is right," Lena nodded. "Go home to Ruby, enjoy the now. Every second of this is important to you, and it's important to your daughter."

"OK," Sam sighed. "No, yeah, you're right. Thank you, guys. I honestly . . . " She reached over, and Kara and Lena took both her hands. "I don't know how I lived my life without you guys. Thank you."

She squeezed their hands, then stood up and left. Alex sighed, looking at Kara and Lena as the door closed behind Sam. "I'll figure it out."

"We all will," Lena agreed, Kara nodding in worried agreement.

***

"I was beginning to wonder if we'd see you before we left," Barry smiled as Kara, Lena, and Alex returned to the D.E.O.

"Wouldn't miss it," Kara shook her head, hugging her friend tightly. "Thank you, Barry."

"Any time," Barry smiled, patting her on the back. "Happy to help."

"Really," she looked over everyone from Team Flash that had come – everyone except Iris. "Thank you, all of you."

"Of course," Caitlin smiled.

"We got your back, girl," Cisco mock saluted.

"Good to see you back to yourself," Joe nodded.

"So," Harry raised an eyebrow at Lena as she walked up, Kara giving hugs to everyone else. "If we're doing this every 'quarterly assassination attempt,' that means I have to save you again in . . . what, three months?"

"Only three months?" Lena raised an eyebrow back. "So if I want to see you again, I have to try and get killed every month now, is that what you're saying?"

"Well," Harry shrugged noncommittedly. "That depends on if you think it's worth it."

Lena smirked, walking up to him. "And if I think it is?"

Harry tilted his head back and forth. "I suppose you could convince me."

"Good," Lena smiled. "Because I think it would be. I don't kiss people just because they save me."

"If you did, I wonder if Danvers over there would be cheating on her fiancé," Harry snarked.

Lena rolled her eyes, reaching up to kiss him. This time, Harry kissed her back. "Oliver has nothing to worry about," she smiled. "I better see you again, mister."

"Not if I see you first," Harry smirked, walking over to join his teammates.

Lena snickered, watching him go, then groaned when she heard a wolf whistle. "Shut up," she glared at Laurel and Alex.

"Not a chance," the two women laughed.

"You know he's gonna get it worse back on Earth-1," Kara grinned.

Lena snorted. "Please. You three are bad enough."

"Not as bad if Thea were here," Laurel snickered.

The crackling of a breach made them all turn around. "See you around!" Barry saluted, the rest of his team waving.

"Good luck, Mr. Allen," J'onn nodded, the others waving back.

The members of Team Flash left through the breach, the blue grey portal shutting behind them. "You know," Lucy folded her arms, staring at where the breach had hovered. "I miss the days when all I had to deal with were things on this Earth."

"Yeah," Kara grinned, looking over at her Earth-1 family. "And now I'm engaged to someone from another, and one of my surrogate siblings is from yet another."

Lucy rolled her eyes. "What has my life become."

"Uh, something awesome," Kara grinned, looking over the D.E.O. uniform Lucy was now wearing. "And I have to say, it is good to see you back."

"Thanks," Lucy smiled warmly. "It's good to be back."

Kara turned as Max approached, smiling at him as well. "You, too," she acknowledged the CEO. "Thank you for your help."

"No problem," Max shook his head. "I never liked Morgan Edge or General Lane, so any help I could give knocking them down a few pegs is worth it."

"And being your usual snarky self probably was worth it, too," Lena raised an eyebrow.

"Your words, not mine," Max held up his hands.

Kara snickered, then heard Winn whoop. "What's that, you ask?" he stood up from his station, grinning like the cat who caught the canary. "Has Winslow Schott, your favorite human on Earth-38, finally cracked the case, and maybe come up with a hot lead?"

Kara perked up in excitement, hurrying over. "What did you find?"

"I cross-referenced the meteor impact sites with news reports and hospital records to search for anomalies, and let's see what we came up with," Winn answered, using his tablet to bring files up, the combined Team Supergirl and Team Arrow coming in to see what he found. "This guy had super strength, but turns out he was just a Maaldorian. Then we have a Coluan, we have a Phorian, and then . . . there are these four." He pulled up four women on screen, all of them looking up. "There's no reason for these anomalies. They've survived horrific car crashes, falls off of cliffs. The doctors said it was unprecedented. Like a miracle that they are alive and completely unharmed."

"So two of these are our Worldkillers, huh?" Mon-El asked.

"Uh, maybe, yeah," Winn shrugged. "But which one, or ones, is gonna take a lot more research."

While the majority of people's eyes were on the screens, Oliver's were on Kara, who was walking towards the screen as if in a trance, her eyes locked on one file in particular. "Kara?" he whispered. "You recognize any of them?"

The black-skinned Worldkiller, floating through smoke and flame, smirked darkly, her eyes pure white.

Kara swallowed, then pointed at the same black-skinned woman on the screens: Julia Freeman. "It's her."

"Her?" Winn repeated, blinking in surprise.

"How do you know?" Alex raised an eyebrow.

Kara swallowed, Oliver taking her hand. "I just do."

"Good enough for me," Lena shrugged.

"So we have our purity or our pestilence," Malcolm's lips curled in a smirk.

"At long last," Slade smirked as well.

"So what do we do?" Lena looked at Kara.

Kara clenched her jaw, looking up at Oliver. He nodded his full support of her, and Kara took a deep breath, turning around to look at everyone. "We go get her," she declared.

***

Yay, StarCorp. :)

And phew. So . . . how did I do? As long as everyone feels I had a decent plot that made sense and had characters that made sense, I'm happy.

Fair warning - there may be some silence from me for a few days, but I will be trying to write an original Doctor Who episode with a friend of mine, which will be on her account. Don't worry, though, I will be back to DC as soon as I can be!
