It took her a while to measure up the courage to finally enter her old bedroom but Kara is now there. She is now in the one-room she never allowed anyone to enter. No maid ever clean the room. It was exactly like how it was when she left it 7 years ago.
The same mirror is still there, at the corner of the room. Kara sits at the edge of her old bed, facing the wooden mirror.
"You hurt Lena. You went to meet May and leave the love of my life crying. You refused when I tried to regain control. Suddenly, you're saying goodbye to May. What are you trying to do!?, ", she unintentionally raises her voice at the end.
The wooden mirror flashes with a slight white beam before a reflection of Kara appear in the mirror. Dressed fully like The Phantom in his usual black suit.
"I must go, Kara.", The Phantom said to her.
" Why?", the blonde is starting to get agitated over this conversation. Why does he have to leave? Can he see that she need him?
"You don't need me anymore."
"Like hell, I don't need you! I am weak, I need your help. You said you will make me stronger. You are stronger than me, why do you have to leave?", Kara is now standing right in front of the mirror.
" May need you. The company need you. I NEED YOU!"
She is literally shouting at him. Every inch of her body is feeling the anger boiling in her body. She just can't understand. Why?
"You NEEDED me, Kara. You're stronger than what you think. You don't need me anymore. I have done my duty. Let me go."
Curling her hand into a fist, Kara moved a step closer to the mirror. Her hand tracing the mirror frame.
"I can't... Please, please... Please. I'm begging you. I need you. How am I supposed to live without you? I am not strong enough."
Her voice was so small, she was almost whispering. A tear rolled down her face.
For 7 years, she had depended on The Phantom. They have their conditions. They are one. She was fine. It was fine...
"I was there when you were weak. I was there when you need help but both of us know I am just a side of you that you haven't awaken. For you to be strong, you need to let me go.", pleaded The Phantom.
Shaking her head, " I can't.", whispered Kara.
A faint smile was craved on The Phantom's face.
"You must."
Slowly, he was fading away. He was becoming more blurry and blurry until the only thing that left is the real reflection of Kara Danvers.
"NO! No, no, no!!! Come back! Come back!!!", Kara started to hit the mirror with her fist.
Tears keep streaming down her face. Cracks started to appear in the mirror.
" NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Thump. One crack.
"Please I'm begging you! Come back!"
Thump. Two cracks.
"PLEASEEEEE! PLEASE!!! I-"
On the third time, Kara hit the mirror, it finally broke. The sharp piece of the mirror thrust into her hand. She can't feel the pain. Even when blood is dripping down her hand, Kara has only one thought in her head.
" I... I need you...."
Warm arms wrapped around her body brings the blonde black to reality. When did the brunette enter the room? Kara couldn't recall. The blonde stared at her wife.
Lena Luthor is at the verge of crying. She didn't believe it when May explained everything to her but seeing it with own two eyes give her no option but to believe. The Phantom and Kara are truly two different people.
"Lena..."
"Shush... I understand, Kara. I understand.", the brunette hugs the blonde tighter.
