"Alex!" (Y/n) screeched out loudly.
"What's wrong?" Alex rushed into the room, her eyes darting around looking for signs of distress there seemed to be nothing, (Y/n) was still in bed enjoying her day off with a lie in.
(Y/n) pointed down at the puppy. "He is licking my foot, in my sleepiness, I thought you'd gone all foot kinky on me I wake up to find your Bear instead."
Alex looked down the end of the bed at the small white ball of fluff, in a day he had certainly settled in and had seemed surgically attached to (Y/n) much to her annoyance, although Alex could see the soft smile she would give the small creature when she thought she wasn't looking.
She is falling in love with him too, I knew she would.
"I told you he likes you, baby," Alex smirked.
"And I told you he isn't allowed on the bed, how did he even get up here anyway it's like he has springs in his legs, he's like Kara's soulmate or something, too cheerful in the mornings, too stubborn and thick headed and impossible to hate." (Y/n) sighed.
"Ahah, I knew it admit it you like him!" Alex leaped into the air flying across the room to sit on the edge of the bed.
"I do not, I am merely being friendly."
Alex turned her hard disbelieving eyes down onto her, an eyebrow raised in challenge. "Yeah sure friendly."
"You are being so mean to me since this guy came along, don't you love me no more?" (Y/n) pouted sadly.
Alex threw her head back laughing. "Yes, that is right all it took was a little puppy. okay, I really have to go I do not have the day off like some people do."
"Hey, I earned this day off, besides I will be coming into the DEO this afternoon, I also realize you are leaving me with your charge, and don't forget to actually start looking for his owners."
"I found them already, well I found one anyway. "Alex shrugged.
(Y/n) lifted an eyebrow. "Oh really that was fast, where do they live?"
"It's right here baby, I was looking in the mirror, he's one of us now Bear Danvers-(L/n)." Alex smiled innocently.
"I'm not even going into how I am not going to give any dog the cruel double barrel surname, and lastly the most important bit, get looking Agent Danvers or you will be in the doghouse with him, hey you stop licking my foot!" Suddenly she shouted down, Alex couldn't help it the look of the utter innocence of the animals face as he looked up at them was too much mixed with (Y/n) strange trying to act outraged and angry face, she barrelled over laughing clutching her stomach.
The chef pursed her lips. "Heaven only knows what having kids with you will be like, I'm fairly certain it will be unfair to me."
"Oh, babe don't worry there is bound to be one little stick in the mud to join you." Alex shifted quickly racing towards the door before (Y/n) could launch the pillow at her, the door stuck as she tried to open it, she turned when a pillow hit her hard on the back, (Y/n) sat up on the bed glaring at her.
"I am definitely not going to be the stick in the mud Alexandra, I'm gonna be the cool Mom."
"Yeah, the one who makes them eat their vegetables, such a cool Mom." Alex laughed slipping through the now opened door. "Oh baby, I love you." Kissing her two fingers she opened her palm and blew the kiss towards (Y/n) who despite her recent displeasure caught it with a smile and held it to her heart, it was cheesy but who cared it was really the most wonderful feeling in the world to be loved by someone she loved so much.
"I love you too sexy pants."
"I'm getting to like that nickname, could I convince you to take out an ad in this months CatCo edition explaining all the reasons why you like to use it?"
(Y/n) frowned sarcastically. "No, now get lost." She watched as the door closed, then she looked down at the small dog, sat now at the bottom of the bed by her feet, his eyes large with a bright glow, he seemed to be smiling. "And you can wipe the grin off your face that is your new Mother, you will see how you feel after a while with her, but gosh she is lovely isn't she?"
Bear let out a small happy bark as though he were answering her back agreeing (Y/n) smiled. "I think that was a, yes, you have good taste, Mr. Bear."

The loud crack and rumble of thunder vibrated through the whole city rocking it to its very core, the very streets shook with the vibrations screams and shouts of fear rang out (Y/n) hung onto the kitchen counter to steady herself as she felt the whole apartment under her feet rattle and move an eerie creaking scream made an ominous chill run through her body.
Bear let out a frightened cry running to her feet to seek protection from the safety she offered, without thinking she bent down to pick him up into her arms holding him close as he sunk his head into her shoulder cowering into her body.
"Shhh little one it's probably just an earthquake, those things suck but it will pass." Moving to the window she looked out at the city below the ground still rumbling as now the clouds became almost black with anger. Dammit, I should be out there now!
The little shivering mass in her arms made her think twice, she couldn't leave him alone here and afraid, suddenly a thought struck her. Lena.
"Little one you are going to learn something about your other Mom, firstly she can fly so buckle up you're going to be the first Bear to take flight in the history of bears, also don't tell Alex I said that okay she will never let me hear the end of it."
Woof.
"Good I'm glad you agree."
Swiftly she took off into the thunderous city air moving much quicker than she normally would so she wouldn't have to prolong the small frail creatures distress any longer than she had to, finally making it to Lena's balcony, landing she rushed inside her office.
"What's wrong? OMG is that the puppy?" Lena shrieked unfazed by the activity outside.
"Everyone else is freaking out Lena at least pretend to be a normal mortal." (Y/n) rolled her eyes at her coolness it was work as usual for Lena Luthor.
"Shut up and tell me what you are doing with this little cutie, Kara says Alex named him Bear it's such a cute name for him."
"Forget about the cute voice Lena, I need to be out there now and I need you to watch this guy for me he is so scared I couldn't leave him on his own, the whole place was rocking and rolling like our neighbors were a heavy metal band." I have a really strange feeling.
Without another word Lena gently took the still quivering dog and wrapped him in her arms, he whimpered at the loss of (Y/n) but she run her hand reassuringly across his muzzle, "It's okay I will be back very soon okay, and there won't be anything to be scared of." Turning to Lena she sighed, Lena frowned as she saw the doubt in her eyes, saw the ominous look that made her afraid suddenly. "I'll try not to be long, thank you."
Before Lena could ask her anything else she was gone.
Lena fought the onslaught of fear that suddenly engulfed her, she'd thought it was an earthquake, not the first to hit National City, but seeing (Y/n)'s eyes she was suddenly unconvinced but it it wasn't a natural disaster what could it be?

Out in the sky looking down Superwoman saw clearly now that this was definitely not an earthquake, below her in the streets the shouts and screams came from another source of fear.
The fear of each other.
Crowds crammed together to fight and brawl, guns fired randomly and people fell suddenly to the ground, the scent of blood filled the air like a polluted acid that burned her nose as she breathed it in.
"What the fuck is happening?"
With swiftness Superwoman turned around away from the fight, she needed to find out what the hell she was walking into before she stepped where angels feared to tread, she headed to the DEO.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked seriously. "They are going fucking nuts, not to mention I feel like fruit in a smoothy maker right now."
Alex breathed a sigh of relief at seeing her, "We don't know."
Just then Sara walked through the door a fierce look on her face, blood covered her white shirt and smeared her arms and face.
"What happened to you?" Alex asked stunned.
"I had to fight my way out of my apartment, it's okay I never did like my neighbors anyway."
Suddenly before their eyes, an image materialized like dazzling crystal, a bright ethereal image that made everyone turn and watch in fascination at the sight.
"What the hell?" Sara asked her eyes glued to the scene, that was the moment Kara chose to suddenly appear crowding around with Alex, Sara and (Y/n), the two supers stood shoulder to shoulder like two unmoveable boulders of stone.
The woman smiled. "Two Kryptonian Goddess, you know I am told on Krypton you did not worship me, maybe that is why it died."
Kara frowned. "Who are you?"
"I know." (Y/n) said her eyes determined and fixed on the woman before them. "Harmonia, you are the one who I have beef with, you poisoned my girlfriend!"
"What that is the one?" Alex asked.
The woman laughed as the faces around her turned to hate and anger. "Oh my dear little children I forget that as a Goddess and blessed by my immortal blood that I am surrounded by mere humans here and they cannot be as perfect as I am, may I extend my humble apologize because the person I sent out to investigate Diana Prince got the wrong woman."
Sara crossed her arms firmly. "You are also the one doing this to the city aren't you?"
"You are very smart, you see I am the Goddess of Harmony and I grant it to whomever I feel is deserving, but when someone goes against me as you have in siding with Diana Prince then I must then seek to withdraw my patronage and when I do, well harmony and concord leaves." She pouted dramatically. "That is just how it is I'm afraid nothing I can do to change that."
"You mean this city had Harmony?" Sara asked confused.
"You need to stop this now!" Alex demanded.
The Goddess laughed happily. "Oh dear child, there is only one way."
"What is it?" Kara asked cautiously fearing she knew what it would be.
"I want Diana Prince, give her to me and I will save your city, if you don't then I will let your whole city burn to the ground by its own hand, it will be quite a nice show I'm sort of hoping you will go against my wishes."
"You sick fuck there is no way I would betray my friend!" (Y/n) grounded out with hate in her words, her face as hard as nails.
"You I know will not, you I see in your eyes are too loyal, too caring, too loving you are the one I should have marked as the one she loved, I see that now."
Alex glared at the Goddess and then (Y/n).
"You would have been wrong there too, you seem very misinformed for a perfect Goddess." (Y/n) scoffed.
The Goddess frowned narrowing her eyes. "I see the stories of El arrogance are no unfounded, you are indeed extremely vulgar to speak to a Goddess and your immortal better that way, I am the daughter of Ares."
"Yeah, I really don't care, to be honest, I'd be more interested if you were the daughter of a giant Rooster, get your curse or whatever the hell this is lifted because you are scaring my dog!" She shouted out the last bit, Alex turned towards her, her eyes blinking hard really fighting the urge not to smile but that had been the sweetest thing she would ever say.
The Goddess laughed again cruelly. "Bring me Diana, or everyone you love will perish with the whole city."
In a split second, she was gone, leaving all four women stood in disbelief still watching the spot.
"I'm not betraying Diana so no one suggests it." (Y/n) said firmly.
Alex turned towards her. "But (Y/n) we have to, to save the city."
"This is not an option Alex so forget it."
"Err guys." Suddenly Winn called them pointing to the screens. "We have a major problem down at the police station."
All four, but especially (Y/n) rushed to the screen to find a huge mod at the doors crashing through and breaking the windows. "Holy shit my Dad!"
"(Y/n)!"
She didn't wait she was gone in a flash.

Breaking through the crowd by throwing back and knocking out anyone who was in her way, Superwoman resembled more a cowboy during the showdown at the Ok Coral than a superhero of National City, in her need to get inside to secure her Father and make sure he was okay she would have done anything.
Many in their foggy brains tried to take her out, but one punch to her steely body made them regret it, crunched over in pain they clenched their broken hands and wrists, it really didn't pay to try and assault a Kryptonian.
"Move out of the way now!" She growled in a deep voice she almost didn't recognize herself, she was single-mindedly focused on her goal, to get to her father.
Once making it to the door she turned around to face the angry mob, angry for no reason at all except Harmonia's utter hate of Wonder Woman, she glared at them all making them shrink backward with fear, yet some were bold enough to launch themselves forward they were easily knocked back by a single hand. "Go home you are making fools of yourselves, oh and don't think that all of you won't be coming back here to clear up the fucking mess! I will guarantee it."
Closing the door behind her she swiftly made her way through the station, various officers were rushing about securing windows and doors stopping anyone from coming in, the police were never popular normally but now they were really taking the heat.
"Sawyer!" Superwoman spat out hating that she even needed to see the woman, she sported a huge black eye.
"What we're pretty busy around here."
"Where is Detective (L/n)?"
"In his office, he was calling his wife when I left him."
She breathed a sigh of relief, he was safe for now anyway.
A blood-curdling scream erupted from outside, so loud it struck fear through the hearts of everyone who heard it. "Oh, crap please tell me that Banshee isn't back in town." Rushing to exit the station to see what the hell was going on she stood on the steps outside, on the road deserted and abandoned now sat a woman, in her arms she cradled the head of a young child rocking back and forth, the pain written across her face was as deep as a Tolstoy novel and as vast as the universe.
Superwoman rushed forward. "What's wrong?"
The woman looked up, tears ran down her cheeks. "He's dead, there was a crowd and he was just too small and just too alone."
Superwoman felt the tears escape her eyes, hidden by the mask but her eyes still glistened and watered, she knelt down and took him from her arms she needed to be sure that the woman was correct, if he wasn't there was still a chance to help him, a faint flutter met her finger as she felt for a pulse. "Listen to me he isn't dead okay, but I need to take him to a place where he can be helped, I know someone she is the best doctor in the world and she will do her absolute best but I need to take him now."
The woman took a few seconds to think before she slowly began to release him trusting the superhero with her child. "Please look after him, he is a very shy boy." She gently kissed his forehead.
"I will I promise you, go inside the station okay, tell Detective Sawyer I sent you okay, and tell her what I have done she will know where I've taken him okay?"
"Yes, thank you so much."
Launching herself into the shy she was soon out of the woman's sight and on her way to the DEO she really needed Alex to work her magic, she really didn't need the death of a child on her conscience.

The park had erupted into a full-blown battlefield, even makeshift armies had emerged like some strange adult version of a five-a-side football tournament, blood scattered the fresh green grass, which had once been earthy and innocent now looked like a scene from the apocalypse.
Superwoman and Supergirl rushed forward their eyes darting around them struggling to decide what they should do first there was so much carnage.
"This is chaos," Supergirl observed.
"Tell me about it."
Behind them a strangle tingling soft sound make them turn around and when they did they came face to face with the Goddess, a bright smile on her face as she enjoyed the view. "Isn't this just enchanting? So much anger locked up in every human being, it's nice to see them let it all out, I just saw two sisters tear into each other because the one stole the others shoes in high school." She let out a wicked laugh. "Isn't it amazing?"
"I hope we aren't going to find two sisters actually torn apart," Kara whispered to her with a cringe.
"Listen, I have told you I don't care who the hell you are we are not handing over Diana, besides we don't know where she is."
Harmonia frowned angrily. "You think I am joking, you think I will stop well I will show you just how serious I am if you care so little for these revolting creatures maybe you will be struck by taking one of your own." Lifting her long slender finger out pointing it at Superwoman a sizzle of dust and a light crystal glow emanated casting out until it quickly surrounded the superhero curling around her and squeezing hard until suddenly in a puff Superwoman was gone.
Supergirl starred in disbelief. "What have you done?" She demanded.
"Gone forever, I believe you would call it dead."
Supergirl gasped trying to control the vast emotions that clouded her.
"Give me Diana or more will come." Suddenly with that dire warning, she was gone.
Supergirl turned to the spot where her cousin had stood, suddenly everything around her dissolved away every shout and scream and the thud of thunder and ripple of crime evaporated into the background like a blur, (Y/n) was gone, she felt the trail of tears flow down her cheeks as she picked up the colourful dust that the spell had left behind.

Kara sat quietly on the chair she had to wait for Alex to come out of the surgery, (Y/n) had save that little boy she would never know that she would have been happy about it she knew that.
Footsteps sounded as they headed in her direction Alex smile weakly back at her. "Hi." She stopped suddenly in her tracks and ominous feeling hitting her at the sight. "What is it? Where is (Y/n)?"
Kara felt her heartbreak more than it had already done. "Alex I'm so sorry but there was nothing I could do Harmonia just....well...she's gone Alex, killed it just happened so fast that there was nothing that I co..."
Alex felt her knees give way under her as she chocked for air, a weak beseeching sound erupting from her as she sunk to her knees the tears already flowing rapidly as she fought to try to gain some control of herself, it was no good.
Kara crouched next to her bringing her into a tight embrace, her own tears falling.
"We only just moved back in together Kara, why is that fair? why?" We just found each other again.
"I don't know Alex I just don't know."
"I love her Kara." Alex sobbed.
"I know." We all do.
The uncontrollably loud sobs rang out through the whole hallway and beyond, by now the news of Superwoman's demise had been spread and almost everyone knew, but as Kara held her crying sister, her arms grasping at her in desperation for the first time ever Kara didn't care about anyone else, she didn't care about protecting and serving she just needed to take her sister's pain away.
That was impossible.
