Haven

Chapter 12 ~Bizarro~

Ashlee sat at her desk with a confused face, "How was Kara eating ice cream with you and talking about her date with Alex at the same time she tossed a car as Supergirl?", she froze and stood quickly. "Damn it!", she punched the wall and chipped it as tears filled her eyes and she ran into a room and cried. It had to be Max, did he really mean all those things or was he just playing her, why did she love so easily and so deeply? Hank ran in, "I don't think it was Max, she was comatose and her cerebral cortex functioning was almost non-existent. Bringing her back to even partial consciousness would be like raising the dead.", Ashlee spoke up, "How could you be so sure?", she looked at him with fear in her eyes, "Max does have a God complex, but he is not an actual God.", she nodded and wiped her eyes went back to work. Alex walked by, "Kara told me to tell you to meet them at the office." She nodded and hurried out, rushing to Catco.

"Uh, was it a guy?", Ashlee opened the door, "Is it Adam asking about tonight?", Kara blushed, "I have this handled by the way, despite everything. Winn, Maxwell Lord had a girl in his office, I know Kara told you this but she didn't look anything like Kara. She had a rounder face and slightly blonder hair. I don't know what exactly happened to her but she was labeled a Jane Doe, if that helps any. Now it's super awkward." James chuckled at her and Kara smiled, Winn farrowed his eyebrows, "Despite everything?", James nodded, "The White martian sent Ashlee into a mini coma and she screamed and cried from the gases. Max went to her house and cried because she wouldn't wake up. He had me make her some Hot Apple Cider with a cinnamon stick in it and then she took off to fight said martian after Max kissed her forehead and stroked her hair. It was a really big Sleeping Beauty moment.", she rolled her eyes, "I am still highly suspicious of him though." Win nodded and Kara and James left and her eyes widened. "Oh crap. I have to go-", Winn grabbed her wrist and she gulped, "Ashlee-", she shook her head, "Don't Winn, you've already said you regret it and if you say you don't right now I might just explode. I can't deal with this crazy doppleganger and Max and you all at the same time. I just can't.", he frowned, "I said I regretted and I lied okay. I lied because of Maxwell Lord. You still love him Ashlee and I realized it but I didn't stop it. I didn't stop what happened between us because you were so sad and hurt and when you looked at me it all went away, and I was scared and confused and you made it all go away. You're my best friend Ashlee and I know I was to late, but please forgive me and let's go back to normal. I shouldn't have acted the way I acted and I didn't know how much I needed you until I never saw you anymore." She gulped and tears filled her eyes and she hugged him, "Make up dinner, tonight at my house. 7 pm alright." He nodded, "Of course Ashlee. Oh and uh, stay away from the whisky." She laughed but nodded, "I promise.", before she walked out.

Winn and Ashlee sat in the living room laughing and joking around when a news report came on, "-leaving passengers stranded and in peril.", she changed and flew off rushing to the scene and flew in front of the tran, "Help us.", she nodded, "It's okay. I'm going to get you out of here." She landed on top of the tran and inspected the tran and it's holdings, when a red cape flew by, "Supergirl, finally. I need-", she stopped, "It's you. Did somebody send you? Are you being forced to do this?", the girl spoke, "We kill Supergirl, no matter the cost." Ashlee got punched and soon the two were fighting. Kara showed up, "I'll fight her, you save the tran.", Ashlee nodded and Kara lead her imposter away. Ashlee fixing the Tran, the girl stopped and watched as Kara flew to help Ashlee mend the broken Trancar.

Ashlee walked into Catco and smiled at Cat, "Aimee, it's great to see you. A little birdy told me that you and Max made amends.", she smiled, "I wouldn't say that but we are trying again.", Cat smiled, "Of course." Ashlee held up a wrap and a fruit smoothie and smiled, "For old times sake. Oh, Adam, it's nice to meet you.", she shook his hand and smiled, "You too-", she smiled, "Ashlee Morgan, your mother's old assistant and new friend." Cat nodded, "Oh was I interrupting something? I do apologize.", Cat laughed, "No, of course not. Adam was just stopping by to see Kara.", she nodded, "Of course, sorry she forgot to call you last night she was so concerned with the situation that she just forgot, I meant to remind her but forgot so it was all my bad. Miss Grant, Mr. Foster, if you will excuse me I have a delivery to make to James and Winn. Have a good day.", Cat smiled, "Of course.", she walked back to the elevator and went to the office, "I got a file with Kara's height and weight and color information of a Jane Doe from National City Memorial Hospital who was admitted 2 years ago after a bad car accident.", they all glanced up, "DEO computers and stuff. She is now in a facility called Prometheus Genetics which is owned by-", Winn spoke, "Max Lord.", she nodded, "Yep. More news, 6 more comatose Jane Does have been claimed by Prometheus in the last few years. Seven girls.", Winn spoke, "Seven tried to make the perfect doppleganger." She nodded, "I am assuming so.", she rolled her lips, "I have to confront Max now.", they nodded and she hurried off, making her way into Max's office, she stood tall and the door opened, "It's you. It's always been you.", Max looked at her, "Remind me what it is I'm meant to have done this time?", her glared and her lips quivered as tears pooled but her voice stayed strong, "I know about the girls, Maxwell Lord. Those women had lives.", Max walked forward and noticed how tensed her jaw was, "They were brain dead. Zero chance of recovery.", he walked around her, "So you turned them into guinea pigs Max?", he looked at her, "I gave them the chance to live, Ashlee. That's not a confession, by the way. But if somebody, if I were to do the things you're implying, all it would take is an elementary genetic synthesis. Isolate Supergirl's genome-", she finished, "And flood the subject with a concentrated infusion of DNA, you forget I have a minor in Biology Max. How did you get Supergirl's DNA?", he leant forward, "We all leave little traces of ourselves nearly everywhere we go. An errant skin cell, a stray hair, many just a few seconds with an arm from a rouge military android. Red Tornado wasn't it?", she shook her head, "Which you helpfully delivered to me for my perusal.", she shook her head, "You son of a bitch." He covered his ears, "Ooh, language.", she shook her head and tears fell, "You seem awfully upset that an extraterrestrial's DNA was stolen. Makes me wonder if you and Supergirl are more than just work buddies. Oh wait, you're friends and you are her protector.", she glared and her eyes glowed, she grabbed a piece of her hair and ripped it out, "Make a rouge Haven as well Maxwell, like your clone said, Kill Supergirl no matter the cost right? Well it cost you your second chance and it will cost my life. I hate you.", she picked up his hand and shoved the hair into it and she turned, "I'm 5'7 and 145 pounds by the way, my eyes are a light blue and my hair is a mocha shade with natural highlights and lowlights." He smirked, "It's nature Ashlee, survival of the fittest.", she turned, "You think you are humanity's savior, Max? You're nothing but a common criminal.", he chuckled, "With what proof? Try anything and things will get very bad for you and the ones you love.", she laughed, "You're threatening me? Seriously? Go to Hell Maxwell Lord! I don't care if I do love you. You are so full of yourself and paranoid that it doesn't matter. If Supergirl is such a threat to the world and it's people, then so is Haven." He chuckled, "This Bizarro, is Humanity's guardian. You're welcome. May the best girl win.", Ashlee walked out but paused and turned, "Oh, here is this back.", she threw him back the ring he had got her and it stuck into the glass right behind his head and caused the window to spiderweb. She held her head high even though she was extremely hurt,"Did you get that Alex?", and flew home, locking all the doors and windows, barricading herself in her bathroom and crying in her bathtub.

Ashlee sat in her bathroom and heard knocking, she had hid herself behind a lead safe and she knew it was Kara. Kara frowned, and called James, "Hey, Ashlee hasn't been seen since she confronted Max. She gave Alex the proof but she hasn't been seen." James and Winn looked at each other and left, their filled glasses on Winn's desk to make their way to Ashlee's house.

Ashlee sat in her bathtub in her outfit from earlier, the water was running and falling on her and she had vodka with her, she was singing to herself,  "Feeling used, but I'm still missing you. And I can't see the end of this, just wanna feel your kiss against my lips. And now all this time is passing by, but I still can't seem to tell you why it hurts me every time I see you, realize how much I need you. I hate you, I love you. I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put nobody else above you.I hate you I love you,
I hate that I want you.", she laughed and stood up before looking at herself in the mirror and crying more, giving a scream and punching the mirror. It shattered but she wasn't physically hurt. Winn ran in and James called Alex, Winn held Ashlee and she crumpled. Ashlee Morgan was broken.

Ashlee laid in bed and didn't move, or talk, or eat. Winn sat beside her, "Ash, I made some Hot Apple Cider and a cinnamon stick in it.", she didn't budge and he sighed, "Ash-", she glanced down and he sighed, "Ashlee, please.", she stayed quiet and he stood up, "You're being selfish you know. I'm scared and worried Ashlee. James is worried, Kara is worried, Alex is worried, Cat is even worried, Hank is too.", tears slid down her cheeks but she didn't say anything, "Lucy called Lois and Clark, the three of them are worried as well.", it didn't effect her and he deflated, Ashlee was broken. He turned and left.

Ashlee sat in her bed, she still hadn't moved and she hadn't had food in 14 hours. Alex barged into Max's office and arrested him, "What's the charges?", she decided to tell him the truth, a little bit, "I'm acting on behalf of an extra-legal enforcement organization. Meaning you have no rights, unless you wanna tell me where Bizarro is.", he didn't say anything and Alex walked behind him, and whispered, "You're also under the arrest for the murder of Ashlee Morgan." Max froze, "While Supergirl was fighting Bizarro and we were helping her, Ashlee was found dead and being that you threated her-", Max stopped walking and grew wide eyed, "Ashlee is dead?", Alex faked tears but swallowed them back, "Yeah, she was drunk and walking around the streets, heartbroken and just fell dead. Ambulance was called and they couldn't revive her. Cause of death was a broken heart." Alex slammed Max down and he didn't protest, the love of his life was dead.

Ashlee sat in bed, she hadn't slept or drank anything. Winn walked in, "Alex took Max into custody, told him you died from heartbreak. Bizzaro took James and Alex and Kara saved him and stopped her. She was put under again. Max hasn't spoken to anyone, but he knows Kara and Alex are related and that Kara is Supergirl." She didn't respond and he sighed, "Ashlee, please. Wake up out of this you are stronger than this.", a tear fell down her cheek and she blinked. Winn left and a plant fell on her, knocking her out and sending her into a deep slumber.
