You will have one minute to get out (part 4)
part 1 , part 2 , part 3, part 5, part 6
After talking with your aunt, Kara got out of the car to guide people towards the shelters.
âPlease be carefulâ she said âAll of youâ
âWe willâ Lena said. They kissed. She then left.
âAlright letâs goâ Lena said.
It took you more than expected to get to the DEO because of all that was going on outside, but thanks to Supergirlâs and the policeâs effort of making people go to the shelters you made it.
Once inside you all soon found Alex. It was all a mess, there were agents going in every direction trying to figure out what was going on.
âAlexâ your mom said, walking towards your aunt.
âLenaâ she replied. âHi, Iâm so glad that you made itâ
âWhatâs happening?â your mom asked.
âCome hereâ
She then led you all to the main screen where Brainy was working. In the big screen you were all able to see at least four spaceships covering the sky of National city. Lena looked closely, trying to recognize the machines.
âDo we know where they come from? or what do they want?â your mom asked
âWe have no ideaâ Brainy answered
âWhat?â You asked
You three turned your heads to look at Brainy and Alex.
âThere is nothing in our database similar to those spaceshipsâ
Lena turned away from all of you and walked slowly towards the screen, thinking.
âThe DEO database contains at least the most basic information of every alien. Even the Legion updated it the last time they came and âŚâ
Alex walked towards her sister in law.
âWhat are you trying to say?â
She walked towards a nearby table and grabbed a tablet. She started to type quickly ignoring everyone and everything around her. You looked at your sister, confused, she looked at you but did nothing, you were surprised that she hadnât made any sarcastic comment or said anything yet, but there she was, with a serious expression, completely quiet.
âLena, tell usâ Alex insisted.
âMy brother, he got out of prison a couple of hours ago. Even though he had been in there for many years now, I still remember his last project⌠dimensional transportation⌠what if- what if we canât recognise them because they are from a completely different dimension? what if this is all another of Lexâs crazy experiments?â
Everyone froze, just as your mother had said, Lex had been imprisoned a long time ago, a couple years before Lori was born. The big threat that he meant all those years ago was now nothing but a memory. During the last ten years, all the DEO and your mothers had worked really hard to get to this level of safety. Nowadays, even if there were emergencies once in a while, they were never as big or critical as they used to be.
Alex, Brainy and your mom started to discuss the possibilities. You wanted to join them, you wanted to help, but before you could do anything you saw how your sister suddenly left, she fastly started to walk away without saying a word, being almost unnoticed. You however did notice and after telling your mom that you and Lori were going to the bathroom (she was way too focused debating the possible options that she didnât notice that you were the only one left and that Lori was already gone). You obviously never went to the bathroom, instead you went to one of the training rooms. It was a special place for Lori and you since it once became a daycare in which you spent a lot of days and some nights.
You slowly opened the door and found her, Lori was curled up on the floor, silently crying. Her back pressed to the wall with her head on her knees.
âLoriâ you said, walking slowly towards your sister. With time you learnt how she, unlike you, didnât like physical contact when she was stressed or overwhelmed. So you simply sat next to her and placed your hand on her back and stood in that position for a few minutes, simply letting her know that you were there.
âWhat happened?â you asked
âIâm so sorryâ you managed to hear.
âSorry? for what? You did nothing wrongâ you were about to continue talking when you realised, no, she couldnât have, she wouldnât, if she had started working with him again she would have told you. Lori then looked at you, her eyes puffy and red. âLori, what did you do?â you asked in a serious tone.
âI didnât know- Iâ
Before Lori could continue Lena walked in.
âThere you areâ she said, relieved. âWhat is going on?â she quickly asked, seeing the tears forming in Loriâs eyes and the anger rising in yours. Kara walked in the room a couple seconds after.
âHeyâ she immediately hugged Lena. Even after all the years theyâve been together, even after everything they had been through, everytime Kara left for a mission Lenaâs heart stopped, she just couldnât get used to it. So every time they reunited they both needed to make sure that the other was safe. Once the sweet romantic moment was over Kara looked at you and your sister, you quickly got up and away from Lori. Anger getting stronger inside of you, because even if what was going on wasnât totally her fault, she lied to you, she worked with Lex. You clearly told her not to do that, you told her that it was dangerous, but she did it anyway. The worst part was that she promised you she would tell you everything that was happening. So once she stopped doing so you assumed that she didnât work with him anymore.
âGirls we actually need to talk about somethingâ Lena said pulling you out of your thoughts.
âWhat is it?â you asked.
âItâs your uncleâ Kara said
Lori raised her head from her knees but she soon avoided making any visual contact with you and looked at Kara.
âSo, as you both have heard, he somehow is out of prison. We are still not sure of how he made it out, but we will make him go back to his cell as soon as we canâ Lena continued.âThe thing is, we are almost sure that what is happening has something to do with him. We donât want you to panic however. We are all here, safe and we will solve thisâ
âWe are telling you this because weâve found out that the creatures in those ships are planning an attack. The reason why they havenât done it yet is because there are still more ships to comeâ Kara explained
âMore?!â you interrupted
âYes, more. This means that we do not have much time. Therefore, even if we are not entirely happy with this decision⌠we are gonna need all the help we can get, which includes you both tooâ she said.
âWhat can we do?â you asked, excited to finally take part in something like this. You had heard every single story and adventure your mothers had lived and, even if this was a bit scary, it was also incredibly exciting.
âWell, Y/N I need you to warn Clark and tell him to come here as soon as possible. The more kryptonians the betterâ Kara told you. You quickly nodded.
âThat is true, we must be prepared. However if we can avoid any battle the better. Thatâs why we need to figure out a way to send those ships back to where they came fromâ Lena said
You looked at Lori, if she had worked with Lex in this she would definitely know something that could help.
âIâm sure it wonât be hard for Lori to figure it outâ you mentioned harsly
Lena looked at you and then at her eldest daughter. Something was clearly going on.
Lori got up looking at the ground and then at you. You raised your eyebrows and walked towards her.
âEither you say it or I doâ you whispered to her.
âWhat is going on?â Kara asked worriedly.
You looked at her and then at Lori. Since your sister didnât seem to say anything you did
âLori has been working with Lexâ
âWHAT?!â your moms screamed.
Lori couldnât take it anymore, tears started falling from her eyes.
âI swear it is not what it looks like and-and I-I n-never throught h-he would do anything like thisâ she said in between sobs.
Lena walked towards Lori and immediately hugged her. âItâs okâ she repeated to her while she crumbled in her arms.
Kara placed a hand on your shoulder.
âGo warn Clarkâ she said
You looked at Lori and your mom, unsure of leaving, feeling responsible for what had happened.
âWeâll be here when you come back but we canât waste time. Goâ she said
You nodded and quickly left the room. Kara then walked towards her wife and daughter and hugged them both. After a few seconds they broke the hug.
âLori, we need you to tell us everything that has happenedâ Kara said, brushing the tears from her cheeks with her thumb.
Lori nodded.
You started flying and thatâs when you realized how fast you were now able to go. Since the bullet incident you hadnât used your powers that much and you hadnât flown at all. But now that you were, you could clearly see how much they had increased. You soon arrived at Clarkâs farm, you walked towards the door and knocked on the door. After a few minutes Louis opened.
âHey Y/N!â she hugged you âHow did you get here? I didnât know you were comingâ
You laughed âWell, Kara sent me. Is Clark here?â
âRight hereâ he said walking behind his wife.
âHi uncle Clarkâ
â I assume that if youâre here on your own at this time of the day itâs not to visit us is it?â
âI wish it was but thereâs an emergency and we need youâ
He nodded.
âAlright then, what is it?â
âCan I tell you while weâre flying? Kara said to hurryâ
After a few minutes you both arrived at the DEO.
âY/N, Superman, this wayâ Alex said as soon as he saw you both.
You all entered a lab where both of your moms were along with Brainy, Lori and Jâonn.
âClark, thanks for comingâ Kara said
âNo problem, what can I help with?â he asked
âWith thisâ Lena said walking towards all of you with a small device in her hands.
âWhat does it do?â
âWell, if we place one of these in each ship we believe we will be able to send them awayâ she explained âwe canât send them back to where they came from since we donât know where that is but we do can send them away from this planetâ
âSo we have to place one in each ship and thatâs it?â Clark asked
âYes but it's not that easy. They must be inside each shipâ
âHow are we gonna get in?â you asked
âWell Iâve studied the ships and Iâve noticed how under them thereâs a little conduit. I suppose the use as an emergency conduit or something similarâ Jâonn mentioned.
âOk then letâs goâ Kara said
Lena started giving out the devices: one to Clark, other to Jâonn and the two left to Kara.
âKaraâ Lena said. âThis device is the main one, once you place it you have to place the button, you will then have one minute to get out, after that the ships will be sent awayâ
âWhat about me?â you asked her. Kara hear it and walked towards you. she placed her hands on your shoulders.
âLittle one, you must stay here with your mom ok?â she said
âBut I can helpâ
âI know you can, thanks to you Clark is here, but I need you to stay hereâ
You looked at her, clearly not happy with the answer she had given you.
âPlease donât look at me like thatâ she chuckled â I swear Iâll call you if something happens or if we need your helpâ
You nodded. She placed a lock of hair behind your ear and kissed your forehead. A few seconds later she was gone. You walk with Lena and everyone else towards the screen where you could see what was going on outside. Both Alex and your mom were guiding the rest towards the ship and ready to warn them if something happened. After watching silently for a few seconds you noticed how Lori wasnât around, you wanted to ask your mom about it but she was way too concentrated.. So you walked around until you found her, she was on the balcony.
âHeyâ you said walking next to her. She didnât respond and kept looking at the city in front of both of you.
âIâm sorryâ you said after a few seconds, she turned towards you.
âFor what?â
â For telling them and leaving you once they found outâ
âYou had to get Clark and they needed to knowâ
âStillâ
âItâs ok, itâs my fault, I should have told them as soon as I started working with him. I shouldnât have done that i the first placeâ she said. You could see the guilt in her eyes.
âDonât do that. Donât blame yourselfâ
âWhy not? Thanks to the project I did with Lex all of this is happening. You donât get it, I was the one who did the research, I was the one who designed it and now⌠heâs the one testing itâ
You sighed.
âLook, you canât change the past, as much as you want to, but⌠think of it this way: because you worked with Lex, because you did the research, the design, all of that. Because you did that we were now able to create a device to solve it. So, yeah, you could think that if you hadnât worked with him this wouldnât have happened⌠or you can think that thanks to you working with him we found a solutionâ
She looked at you, tears in her eyes.
âHow do you do it?â
âDo what?â
âBe so incredibly stupid and so wise at the same timeâ
You laughed at her comment. She then hugged you.
âThank youâ
You hugged for a few minutes. Then you heard it, you had to go. You broke the hugged but before you could say anything she did âGoâ. You nodded and took off.
You continued to hear it, it was Jordan. You flew all the way to their farm, faster than you have ever flown. Once you arrived you entered the house, the door was open. Oh no.
You walked in, careful not to make any noise.
âY/Nâ Louis whispered. She was lying on the floor.
You superspeeded towards her.
âAre you ok? What happened?â you asked nervously.
âIâm good, I got knocked outâ You helped her stand up. âThey are hereâ
âWho?â
âThose aliens from the shipsâ
âWhy would they come here?â
âY/N they didnât come to conquer our planet. The came to huntâ
âHunt? Hunt what?â
âKryptoniansâ
You froze, of course. It was Lex after all who got them here and he would obviously want revenge for what had happened all those years ago.
âWhere are Jordan and Jonathan?â
âI think they ran away, that wayâ she pointed towards the backyard. But before you could leave she grabbed your hand
âY/N, please, bring them backâ
âI willâ something inside of you activated, you felt stronger, angrier, ready to destroy anyone who could hurt your family. The role of the Knight of Krypton was kicking in inside of you and you could tell, you had never felt like this before, you had never felt you protective and ready to do whatever it takes.
You ran, no, you flew, you flew until you found them. They were surrounded by the most awful creatures you had ever seen. They had their hands tied, you focused your vision until you realized that those werenât ropes, or regular handcuffs, no, they were handcuffs with kryptonite. Which meant that Louis theory was true, they came prepared to hunt and take down all of your family. The rage took over you once more, and without thinking about it, you used your heat vision. You managed to hit all of the aliens. This surprised you since you had never been able to use your heat vision with that precision. However, one of the aliens stood up and threw a kryptonite net over your body. You could feel how it burnt your skin, but then you simply pushed it away, as if it did nothing to you. It did, but the necessity to save them was stronger.
You now understood Jor-El words, as the protector of the Kryptonians you were more resistant, more powerful and specially when they were in danger. That was the first time you understood how the Knight of Krypton was more than just a title, it was a huge responsibility, the type of thing that would have scared you, but not now, cause now there was no sign of Y/N Luthor-Danvers, the only one around was Y/N Zor El. And without even noticing she had taken all of the aliens down.
âY/N?!â Jordan screamed
They both ran towards you and hugged you
âAre you ok?â you asked
âYesâ âWe are nowâ They both said
âHow did you do it? How could you take them down?â
You hadnât even realized you had, so you couldnât really answer. You were thinking about it when you felt it once more, it was like an instinct that was activated in you when one kryptonian was in danger. You used your super hearing, it was Supergirl.
âI have to goâ you said and then took off once more.
As you flew you allowed the instinct to take over you. It took you to one of the ships back in National city. You saw how the conduit was open. Kara must have opened it to place the device Lori built inside. You entered, it was a long corridor that led to a room, it was like Jâonn had explained, except for one thing, this room had a door covered in kryptonite. In front of the door was Kara, she was lying on the floor, but she was not alone, she was surrounded by two of those incredibly ugly creatures. They were covering her in a kryptonite net, just like you were a few minutes ago. You repeated the movement, you heat vision both of them until they fell to the floor. You ran towards your mom, her veins were green, this wasn't good.
âY/N?â Kara whispered.
âYes itâs meâ
âWhat are you doing here? Itâs dangerous. The kryptonite-â
âI knowâ you interrupted, there wasnât much time. You looked at the device on her hand, took it and walked towards the door
âWhat are you doing? You canât go in there! Y/N itâs full of kryptonite, you wonât be able to survive being exposed to itâ she said trying to get up. It was true, your chances of surviving being close to so much kryptonite were very low, but hers were lower, she was already hurt. You knew what you had to do.
âI have to, if I donât they will get all of youâ
âNONONO, Iâm the one who has to go in thereâ she said walking towards you.
âIâm sorryâ you then superspeed and pushed out of the corridor, then you closed the front door, leaving her outside of the ship. You saw how she was falling and you were about to regret the idea until you saw Superman flying towards her body, she was gonna be ok. Without thinking it twice you ran towards the kryptonite door, took a deep breath and opened it. You took the device and placed it on the other side of the door. You soon felt the burnt, it was stronger, way stronger than you had ever felt it. You pressed the button. You tried to open the door to get out, but the pain was too much, you were dizzy and couldnât focus. Before you could think about what to do you felt something hit your back. You turned around and saw an alien. But it wasnât like the ones you had fought before, this one was way bigger and stronger and scarier. You tried to punch him but he dodged it easily. You continued to throw attacks and he continued to avoid them. Until he kicked you, he kicked you right in the chest, so hard that you went through the door. You looked at the device, now on the floor, luckily it was not broken. You ran and grabbed it once more, then you placed it on the wall and pressed the button Ok I have one minute you said to yourself. You used your heat vision for the third time today (woah you really went from not being able to use it to it being your go-to attack) you hitted him in the face. He screamed and fell to the floor. You were turning around ready to get out of the ship when the alien suddenly got up and pushed you to the floor. You screamed, not because of the push but because while doing so he had stabbed you with one of the kryptonites that were on the door. You looked at the timer on the device, 20 seconds left. With the little strength that you had left you kicked him and punched him until he was no longer over you but on the ground . You looked at him, he was now definitely unconscious (if not dead). You got up.
10 seconds left. You walked through the corridor towards the door you had closed before. You tried to run but couldnât because of the kryptonite inside of you.
5 seconds left, you got to the door, you tried to open it, but you realized how the knob of the door was broken.
3 seconds left, desperate you started punching the door while crying, you didnât feel strong anymore, you felt scared and lonely.
2 seconds left, you took a step back, think Y/N think you said to yourself. You tried to think but failed, fuck it. You took another step back and ran towards the door, throwing your body towards it, hoping it would give in and open.
1 second left.
