Hope: Supergirl Fanfiction (Karamel)

Chapter 8

The next day Kara wakes up.
- Hey mom what are we doing today.
- I'm sorry Honey I know you are on Christmas break but there's thing at work that I really need to do.
- What am I supposed to do all day.
- What about Hayley.
- She's asleep. Hangover I suppose. Can I go to work with you.
- I'm sorry Hope this is an adult thing.
- Ugh.
- Go to the mall or invite Olivia over.
- Olivia is on vacation. You do know it's Christmas eve right?
- I know I'll be home by 7. We can bake and watch Christmas movies.
- Fine.
Kara leaves. She and Winn are going to the alian bar to find out about the symbols.
- Yes, but if Alura doesn't know what it is, what makes you think anybody here is gonna know?- aks Winn.
- Someone is burning a Kryptonian symbol everywhere, so someone out there must know who it is- says Kara.
At the bar is also Monel and Imra eating ribs. Imra sees them both.
- Kara, Winn!- says Imra.
- Oh, hey guys- says monel.
Winn whispers to Kara- So, you want me to provide a distraction?
- No need, no don't be silly.
They walk to their table.
- Hey guys!- says Winn.
- Hi- says Kara.
Imra's mouth is dirty so Kara warns her
- Oh you've, you...- she points to her mouth.
- Here?
- No, no. It's.
- It's alright. I got it- says monel cleaning it with a napkin.
- Thanks. Oh, oh my God.
- Yep there's just a bit... There we go.
Kara clears her throat- So, you settling in?
- Yeah. You know, Imra wanted to see what the times were like, so...
- Everyone's been very kind so far- says Imra- It's fascinating to see earth this far back.
- Oh, yeah. This must be like medieval times for you- says Winn.
- You eat things with your hand. So fun. Monel tells me there's a place in town where you can eat all the ribs you want. What did you call it? "Food until you're full"?
Kara looks at Monel. She thought that was their place. It was special for her. I guess he took all of them there.
- Very close. It's "All you can eat".
- Okay.
There's an awkward silence.
- Have you had beer yet?- asks Winn.
- Does it goes with the ribs?- Imra asks.
- Come on, Come on, Come on. Let's go.
They go to the balcony and leave Kara and Monel on the table.
- Hey, so how was your party?
- Good.
- Yeah?
- How was your ship.
- Broken beyond my understanding, so...
- Oh... Well sounds like we're having two very different weeks.
- Yeah. Yeah, hey I forgot how much I miss this place. You know, it's special.
- You did make a pretty mean club soda.
- I'm guessing that you probably steered clear of Aldebaran run.
- Please do not remind me of that- they laugh- You know, you are so lucky I did not lose my job at the DEO that day.
Imra looks at them. Kara realizes that everything changed Monel was married and there was nothing she could do about it. Monel realizes that her face dropped.
- Hey, you know, I'm really sorry. About us being here, and how much this must be hard for you.
- No, no, no. You know what Monel, your wife is lovely. And you two seem to really make eachother happy so...
- Do you wanna talk about it?
- There's not really much to talk about.
Her phone rings.
- I should get this. Hello.
- You have a collect call from the Albatross Bay Correctional Facility.
She gets up and goes to Winn- Hey Winn I have to go.
- Okay I'll go with you.
- No you should stay.

At the Albatros Bay Kara walks up to a prisoner.
- Kara Denvers there's so much that you still don't know.
- What?
- It's here. The end of the days.
- There's no end of days in the book of Rao.
- The prophecy I speak of predates the book of Rao. But I suspect you already know this if you've tried to find the meaning of the Kryptonian symbol that's all over the news. They are the mark of a powerful witch that will end us.
- How do you know this?
- You know I spent two years on a pilgrimage all over the world collecting artifacts and texts, learning everything I could about Rao and your people. But I didn't just find objects. I met people. There are three steps leading to the end of days. First the Mark of the Beast.
- The glyph in the field.
- They're all over National City now. After that comes the transformation of the beast where she will reach her full potential. And finally, comes the reign of the beast. And this is when she comes.
- "She"? Who is "She".
- Scarlet witch. The one who will bring about the end of time. She will ruin everyone who crosses her path. This is your purpose, to stop her before is too late.
