Chapter Text
By some grace of Rao, this was it, the anti-monitor nearly defeated and the universe about to be put right back into place, hopefully. Kara takes cover behind an imposing rock formation, catching her breath. She is beat to heck and back but there is still more hope in her to finish the battle.
A pulsing light and a swirling of energy start to form in front of her, another twist hopefully in her favor. "Kara!" A shout no doubt from the unforgettable Lena Luthor.
'Oh god I've lost my mind." Kara thinks before she yells back, "Lena!?" She squints and in the swirl of mist forming in front of her, she can see Lena, her Lena, reaching a hand out. Kara instinctively reaches out toward Lena.
A small object is thrust into her palm quickly before Lena's hand retreats. "Take this, it's blue kryptonite, it will protect you." Lena says in a rushed tone, panicky, no anger behind it. "I lo-" Before Lena can finish the rest of her sentence the light and energy dissipate into nothingness.
It's ok, Kara knows what Lena was going to say. 'I love you too Lena.' The necklace now firmly around her neck Kara steels herself against the final round of the battle.
---
It is over relatively easily after that. Some kicks here, jabs there, really just a blur of grunting and punching. The anti-monitor lay dead next to the Universe Recombobulator that Lex rebuilt while the paragons were fighting. That, of course, is not what Lex calls the machine but Kara keeps repeating it to tick him off. As soon as it is done she is going to kill him so hard.
Suddenly the other paragons drop to their knees. Kara and Kate are the only two unaffected by an invisible force. "I just need a tad bit more power here…" Lex calmly trails off, certain of his upper hand. The life force of the other paragons drains rapidly in front of Kara and Kate. Kate being closer to Lex tries to attack him but with one small backhand, she is sent flying out of sight.
Kara, usually one for words, stands her ground but stays silent. The blue kryptonite does not feel like it is doing anything but maybe it is making her calmer, maybe that's what she needs right now. The power drain is done, the machine turns on and Lex triumphantly turns to Kara to deliver his "Bad Guy Who Won the Fight" monologue. Kara doesn't really pay attention, she stands still, hands clenched but overall relaxed. There's got to be a way to destroy him after this but she can't really think either. She just bids her time, letting him rant.
Suddenly Lex is looking more closely at Kara, her necklace he notices finally. "Is that…blue kryptonite?" He asks with interest as if they were old pals chatting about jewelry.
Kara breaths out a laugh, "Yeah, your sister gave it to me." Before she can go on a tirade at him his face contorts and his fist raises. The necklace is in his hands and in one quick second is it snapped from her neck, broken. Kara steps back reflexively and barely notices the changing scenery around her. In one instant Lex is standing in front of her with her broken necklace in his hand, the next he is surrounded by…Kara? Multiple Karas.
Kara shakes her head and blinks rapidly then she notices the others standing behind the group of Kara's. A group of Lena Luthors with her Lena in the middle.
