3rd Person POV
"Uh, FYI, not everyone here is on board with you coming along." Kara (Supergirl) tells Leslie (Livewire) as they walk into the DEO
"Screw 'em." Livewire says. She looks at Mon-El. "Cosplay! I remember you. You tried to save my life."
"Yeah, I remember succeeding." Mon-El tells her
"Hey, Leslie, you remember me?" Winn asks. "I used to fix your computer at CatCo."
"No." Livewire says
"Prisoner arrived." An agent says from behind, bringing Psi in with two guards behind her and a power dampener on her head
"Thanks for agreeing to join us." Supergirl tells her
"Reign's going after people like me." Psi says. "I don't wanna get killed by that psycho when I finally break out of this place." She looks at Livewire. "Do you have a problem?"
"Ninety-nine, but you ain't one." Livewire says
"Supergirl?" J'onn says, pulling her to the side to talk. "Livewire, I get. You two have a history. But Psi..."
"I know, I know." Supergirl says. "But you know how powerful she is. I mean, she beat you in a psychic duel. She overpowered me more than once."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." J'onn says
"I am a little worried too, to be honest." Supergirl says. "But If we're gonna win this thing, we have to take risks, and this feels like a risk worth taking."
"All right." J'onn says. He holds up a device. "This should unlock the psychic dampener."
"All right." Supergirl breathes
"The ship's ready." Imra says
"Remember the light drive can get a little finicky." Mon-El
"I know." Imra says
"And if there's a breach, just--" Mon-El tells her
"Mon-El. I've captained the ship more times than you." Imra tells him
"Just take care of each other." Mon-El tells Supergirl and Imra
"We will." Supergirl says
"Good luck." J'onn says
"Let's move." Supergirl says and they start walking towards the bunker with the ship
As they approach the ship, Imra opens the door. But something green catches Supergirl's eye and she stops, looking around
"You okay?" Imra asks
"Uh, yeah." Supergirl says, turning her attention back. "I'll meet you guys on the ship. I just need a second."
"Okay." Imra responds
Imra, Livewire, and Psi board the ship as Supergirl walks around the side of the ship, trying to find the small flash of green she saw. She sees Willow in her normal black leggings, mask, and black jacket combination with her brown hair in a ponytail
"Green?" Supergirl whispers, using the color nickname for Willow
Willow nods, her flashing green eyes diminishing
"How did you get in here?" Supergirl asks, walking over to her
"The same way I got out of here." Willow says, walking over to her
The two meet in the middle
"Which is?" Supergirl asks
"Classified." Willow tells her
"Well, what are you doing here?" Supergirl asks
"Winn texted me." Willow says. "Said you have an insane plan to work with some...new people. Are you stupid, Kara? They're villains."
"They can help." Supergirl says
"My job is to keep you safe." Willow reminds her. "And you keep putting yourself in harm's way every second of every day to save other people. But now you're purposefully putting yourself in the way of villains and you're going to Fort Rozz. This can go really, really bad."
"Or it could go well." Supergirl tells her. "Come with us on the ship. Come on our mission. You'll see."
***
"Do we have any idea where she could be?" Imra asks, looking at a map as Supergirl and Willow walk in, the ship flying
"No." Supergirl answers. "Her records didn't say where she was held. We'll just have to search, I guess."
"Fort Rozz, that was where your real mother..." Imra trails off
"Locked up criminals?" Supergirl finishes. "Yeah. Let's just say no one there will be welcoming my arrival."
"Well, um, good thing we've got the dream team then." Imra says, talking about Psi and Livewire
Supergirl scoffs
"You're the green telekinetic, right?" Imra asks, looking at Willow who nods before the three look at Livewire and Psi who throw comments back and forth at each other
"Hey, let's tone it down here, okay?" Supergirl tells them as the group walks over. "We're all here for the same reason, right?" Silence. "I'll take that as a yes."
"How much longer is this gonna be?" Livewire asks. "Do we have to get plugged into some kind of space beds so we can sleep until we get there or something?"
"Actually, we're approaching now." Imra says
"For real?" Livewire asks
"It's a fast ship." Imra says
They look out the window
"So that's your Kryptonian Alcatraz?" Livewire asks
Imra manages the console of the ship
"Well, according to the reading, we should be securely locked on." Imra announces. "Brainy, can you confirm?"
"Affirmative." Brainy answers through the comms
"Shall we?" Supergirl asks
Psi points to the power dampening device on her head and Supergirl unlocks it hesitantly, de-activating the device
"Boo." Psi grumbles at Supergirl
"Let's go." Supergirl says, annoyed
The ship rocks, hitting some turbulence and everyone stumbles slightly. Willow grabs her stomach
"Is everyone okay?" Supergirl asks
"Freckles is looking a little green." Livewire comments towards Willow to which Willow rolls her eyes
"Brainy, what was that?" Imra asks
"The docking of the Legion ship has slightly altered the orbital path of Fort Rozz by .003 AUs." Brainy announces. "Not to worry, just a bit of turbulence."
"Turbulence." Winn repeats
"Uh, turbulence is the result of chaotic changes--" Brainy starts
"I know what turbulence is!" Winn exclaims
"All right, boys, this is riveting, but we have a prisoner to find." Supergirl tells them
The group walks over to the docking bay. Imra opens the door where a vaulted door remains
Supergirl tries to open it but it won't move
"Promising start." Livewire scoffs
Supergirl looks between Imra and Willow for some help. Willow motions with her right hand for Supergirl to move out of the way. Willow lifts her hand and her green wisps encircle the vault door handle, spinning it open
They walk through the now open door
"Space is creepy as--" Livewire starts
"Guys." Supergirl calls their attention
"Holy hell." Livewire says as they walk over to a dead alien
"I've seen worse." Livewire says
"He must have been poisoned by the blue star." Supergirl says
"The lesser s*x." Livewire says. She looks around at the open cells. "I'm pretty sure that's not how jail cells work."
"Fort Rozz has been floating with limited power for so long the cells must have opened." Supergirl reasons
"Our scans are picking up signatures of various life forms loose on the ship." Brainy says
They continue to walk
"This place is like the Mall of America." Livewire says. "You can wander around her for days and not find a thing."
"Do you smell that?" Imra asks
"What?" Supergirl asls
"Another dead body of an incompetent male, perhaps?" Livewire says
"I smell it." Imra says
An alien woman drops down from the ceiling with a pole in hand as a weapon. She throws Livewire to the side and points her pole at Supergirl. Willow's green wisps pool in her hands that are by her side, ready to use
"You!" The alien yells at Supergirl. "You bear the sign of the House of El. How dare you show your face around here?"
The alien makes to hit Supergirl. But she doesn't get a chance. Willow's green wisps flip the alien over while Livewire's lightning shocks the alien
The alien recovers, throwing her pole towards Psi and Psi hits her head. The others continue to fight as Imra checks on Psi, only for Psi to use her powers on Imra
Livewire shocks the alien while Willow uses her green wisps to throw the alien to the side again, knocking her out. Supergirl runs to check on Imra
"Imra?" Supergirl asks Imra. "You're okay. You're okay. It's gonna be okay." Supergirl looks at Psi. "Why did you do that to her?"
Psi holds her head, looking at Supergirl
***
Back on the ship, Psi sits in a chair while Supergirl grabs the device to re-activate the power dampener on Psi's head
"Is that really necessary?" Psi asks, stopping Supergirl
"Look, either we can't trust you, or you lost control of your powers." Supergirl tells her. "Bottom line, you're unsafe."
Psi lets Supergirl re-activate the dampener
"So you dragged me all the way up to space for nothing." Psi says
"Maybe you shouldn't have been so loosey-goosey with your powers on poor Matilda over there." Livewire says, gesturing to Imra
"You're sure you're okay?" Willow asks Imra
"Yeah." Imra says
Supergirl walks over to Imra while Willow stays with Livewire and Psi
"So you can actually talk, Greenbean." Livewire mocks Willow who rolls her eyes to which Psi lets out a small laugh. "What are you laughing at?"
"That's what I called her." Psi says. "So unoriginal." She tells Livewire
"Well at least I didn't jeopardize our mission." Livewire retorts
"It was an accident!" Psi yells to which Imra and Supergirl look over
"Didn't look that way to me." Livewire says
"Do you wanna try this thing on, see what it feels like to have your powers taken away?" Psi yells at her
"Get that thing near me and I'm gonna fry you." Livewire says, holding her sparking hand out
"Hey!" Supergirl exclaims, breaking them up. "No one's getting fried, no one's getting hurt. We have a job to do."
The group walks over to the room where the alien is being held
"We're looking for Jindah Kol Rozz." Supergirl says. "She has information we need."
"You're a bunch of fools." The alien says
"She's not wrong." Livewire says
"Xitheria." The alien says
"Who's that?" Supergirl asks
"The last one who ever went to try and find Jindah." The alien says. "Xitheria was a brutal criminal, but she had softened. She wanted Jindah to join us. We never did see her again, but we heard her screams. You wanna risk your life, you be my guest. Jindah is in the Dendara Corridor. Beyond the dark fog. Good luck."
More turbulence hits the ship and the group stumbles as lights start flashing red
"Imra, we have had a small emergency here." Brainy's voice comes over the speakers
The group runs back over to the main room of the ship
"Brainy, are you there?" Imra asks
"A solar flare has critically..." Brainy's voice says before the communication fritzes out
"Did we lose him?" Supergirl asks
"Lovely." Livewire says
"Communication with the DEO was reliant on our orbital path." Imra says, typing on the console
"What did he say about a solar flare?" Supergirl asks
"More turbulence hits the ship and the group grabs on
"You have got to be kidding me!" Psi exclaims at the turbulence as more red lights flash
"Fort Rozz has been hit by a solar flare." Imra says. "It's been knocked out of orbit, and it's pulling us with it."
"Pulling us?" Supergirl asks. "Pulling us where?"
"We're falling into the star." Imra says, running back to the console
"Vessel temperature rising." The console announces. "Twenty degrees to critical overheating."
"I hate space." Livewire says
"We need to get out of here." Psi says. "Detach from this monstrosity of a prison, and let's go back to Earth."
"The docking port's jammed." Imra says
"So how long before we meet our fiery maker?" Livewire asks
"One hour, maybe two." Imra says
"So we have time." Supergirl says. "We still have a job to do. So let's find Jindah. Imra, you stay here and re-establish communications with the DEO. Psi will stay with you."
"What use am I here?" Psi asks
"Too much could go wrong if you lose control of your powers out there so find a way to be useful here." Supergirl says. She looks at Imra. "And if anyone attacks the ship, cut her loose."
"Copy that." Imra says
"Leslie, let's go." Supergirl says
"I really hate when you call me that." Livewire says
Livewire, Supergirl, and Willow make their way out
"You weren't called by the teacher to join." Livewire comments at Willow
"I go where Supergirl goes." Willow says as they walk
Livewire pulls to a stop, the other two stopping as well
"Interesting." Livewire says, looking at Willow
"Come on, let's go." Supergirl says
***
Supergirl, Livewire, and Willow climb down
"We should be close to the Dendara Corridor according to the directions." Supergirl says
"Glad one of us was listening." Livewire comments. They start walking through Forst Rozz. "So, what's the deal with that beautiful girl? I mean, does everyone in the future look like that?"
"She's... She's my ex-boyfriend's wife." Supergirl says as the group walks
"Snap." Livewire says with a laugh. "Wait, Cosplay's your ex-boyfriend? Well, that's some Real Housewives drama right there. So, do you hate her with every fiber of your being?"
"It's not her fault." Supergirl says. "It's nobody's fault."
Something rocks the area and the group grabs on
"So, are we sure the Real Housewife's gonna be able to figure out--" Livewire starts
"Just focus on the mission, okay?" Supergirl tells her
"Fine." Livewire says. "So, this Reign character. We're getting information so we can kill her?"
"No. Of course not." Supergirl says. "Priestess will have information that I could use to get through to her."
"What?" Livewire scoffs. "Come on. You and your Pollyanna BS. You think you're gonna get through to Reign?"
"I got through to you." Supergirl says, stopping to which Livewire and Willow stop as well. "There must be something good in you that I could trust to come with me."
"I came with you because there is a maniac on the loose and I wanna take her down!" Livewire says through her teeth. "If you think I wouldn't fry you right now--"
"So, do it." Supergirl says
"Don't you dare." Willow says, her eyes flashing green and her wisps dancing across her fingers at her sides. "Either of you. Stop it." She tells both of them
Livewire sighs. "All I'm saying is somebody as evil as Reign deserves to die." Livewire says
"And anyone else who thinks otherwise is just a sucker?" Supergirl asks
"Now you're catching on." Livewire says
They look down a hallway at a bunch of fog
"There's the fog. Looks like we're here." Livewire says
They start walking down. The temperature drops
"Is it colder in here?" Supergirl asks in a whisper
The group continues to walk. Supergirl gasps from behind. Livewire and Willow turn around to see her gone
"No!" Willow exclaims, running over to where Supergirl was to see if she could find her through the fog
"Supergirl?" Livewire asks, looking through the fog. "Green Bean? Where'd you go?"
2 aliens attack and Livewire shoots them with lightning as Willow shoots them with her wisps. Livewire throws them into space
Willow and Livewire join in the middle, panting and looking around
"What the hell just happened?" Livewire questions
"Where is Supergirl?" Willow asks, looking around. "We have to find her."
The two run through the hallways, looking for Supergirl
***
"Even though we're enemies, there's still something that binds us." Supergirl tells Reign
"Save your speech, Supergirl." Reign scoffs
"No, you have to hear me." Supergirl tells her. "There is something in you that sees what you're doing is wrong, that sees the pain you're causing and regrets it. You don't have to be my enemy. You want justice in the world, so do I. But we're not gonna find it by attacking each other."
"And that's where you're wrong." Reign tells her, her eyes glowing
From the side, Willow and Livewire run in. Livewire throws lightning at Reign
"Watch out." Livewire mocks
"Coming to Supergirl's rescue?" Reign scoffs
"I'm coming to take you down." Livewire tells Reign. "Both of us." She says for her and Willow
"Ugh, god the annoying one again." Reign taunts Willow
Willow tilts her head, her eyes glowing green. Livewire throws lightning at Reign while Willow throws her wisps
Livewire's lightning diminishes as Willow's wisps recede
"Is that all you got?" Livewire mocks Reign
"You're a nuisance." Reign says. "Just like the green one."
Reign blasts her heat vision as Livewire tries to hold her off with lightning. Willow jumps in front with a green forcefield of energy to protect herself and Livewire
Reign presses something on her wrist (the same device that depleted Willow last time). Willow notices
"No!" Willow exclaims desperately, pulling herself into the fetal position and dropping to the ground, her wisps retreating safely into her as she pulls her arms in towards her body
Reign grabs Livewire by the neck
"Get your hands off her!" Supergirl yells
"And you need to stop attacking my friends!" Livewire yells, grabbing Reign's hand and an explosion of lightning occurs, throwing everyone back
Reign gets up
"No, no. Stop! Stop." Supergirl tells Reign. "I'm the one you want, right? I'm the one who's trying to stop you. She came here because of me."
"Then she can watch you die first." Reign says, shooting her heat vision but Livewire throws herself in front, getting hit
"No. Leslie, no!" Supergirl yells, dropping to Livewire's body on the ground
"Blackbird." Psi calls to Reign. "What's going on underneath that dark, dark shell of yours?"
Psi blasts Reign with her powers and FReign screams in pain, grabbing her head as she sees what Psi makes her fear
Reign breathes heavily, looking around
"Where am I?" Reign whispers in fear, breathing heavily. Willow and Supergirl share a look. "Where am I? What's happening?" She freaks, looking around. "Supergirl."
"Reign?" Supergirl asks
Something clicks in Reign's eyes and then she leaves, flying through the roof
"Leslie. Leslie?" Supergirl asks Livewire. "Leslie. Hey, you have to stay with me. Stay here, stay here. Come on."
"I guess I'm a sucker too, huh?" Livewire groans
"No. No, no. Just stay. Livewire. Leslie...." Supergirl breathes
Livewire dies, going out in a small crackle of lightning
***
Back at the DEO...
Mon-El and Imra reunite with a hug
"Well done." Mon-El tells her
"You worried?" Imra asks
"What, me?" Mon-El asks. "No. No, no, no. I knew you'd be fine the whole time."
"Oh, yeah. He sure did." Winn says
"She really helped." Supergirl tells Mon-El
Supergirl turns to Psi and some guards
"Hey. You saved me." Supergirl tells her. "Thank you."
"Don't get emotional. I just didn't want to die out there." Psi says. "Sorry about your friend though."
The guards go to take Psi out
"Can we get her a better room, please?" Supergirl asks the guards. "Maybe one with a window."
Psi shows a small smile in thanks as she is taken out of the room
"She really came through, huh?" Winn asks
"They both did." Supergirl says
"And our green telekinetic friend?" Winn asks
"You knew she was on the ship?" Supergirl asks in a whisper
"I'm the one who let her in." Winn says in a whisper
"She did good." Supergirl says. "Um...she's at home right now. I'm heading over there now."
"Good." Winn says. "She needs her friends right now."
***
Willow opens her door, dressed in sweatpants and a hoodie with her glasses on and her hair in a messy ponytail, to reveal Kara on the other side with a bag in hand. Willow looks behind her
"Please don't close the door." Kara says, drawing Willow's attention back to her. "I brought food." She says, handing a container of food to Willow. "How's your arm?"
"Better." Willow says, stepping to the side and letting Kara into the apartment
"You still haven't come to work." Kara says to which Willow silently shakes her head no. "Well, I was glad to see that you're in the field again, Willow."
"It's not Willow" Willow whispers with a sigh, deciding to open up to Kara
"Why?" Kara asks. "Who are you?"
Willow takes a deep breath before looking at Kara. "Krypto Prime" Willow answers softly and honestly. "That's my real name."
"That's not a name." Kara tells her
"It's a soldier identity" Willow responds "I'm a solider... I don't get a name."
"Willow, you can't think like that." Kara says
"It's true." Willow says. "My commanders--"
"I want to help you." Kara says, cutting her off, to which Willow turns her head
"Why?" Willow asks cautiously
"Cause we're friends." Kara says
