Kara and Rhea continued to fight, but with every swing, Rhea dodged, and was able to shove Kara around. She grabbed Kara's arm and twisted it from behind. "It won't stop here," Rhea said before she punched Kara's stomach. "There's Central City, Star City and Metropolis." She then punched Kara up in the jaw. "I will destroy city after city until your whole world is gone."

She then punched Kara down to the ground as Iris flinched. Kara looked up at her, with green veins covering her whole body. Rhea smiled before she went to punch her again but Kara caught Rhea's fist, catching her off guard. Kara slowly got up, anger in her eyes as Iris softly smiled. "This is my home," Kara said before she punched Rhea in the stomach. She then punched her hard, sending her crashed into an electric box. "And I'm going to protect it."

Iris then ran up next to Kara as Rhea slowly sat up. "It doesn't matter if I live or die. We'll keep coming," Rhea said. Iris saw that the ships were still floating around. Her eyes then glanced to in front of her to see that Mon-El and The Flash got back on the roof. They ran over to the girls as Iris started to have a deep and heartbreaking realization.

"Supergirl, they've locked onto every school, hospital, and municipal building in the city. They're going to destroy everything."

Iris's breath hitched up as she looked at Mon, who just gave her a nod. She shakingly reached into her pocket to pull out a small remote, then looked up at Kara and Barry to see remorse all over them. "I'm so sorry," Kara whispered before Iris handed her the remote. Mon grabbed Iris's hand, and laced their fingers as Iris gave Kara the go. Rhea just stared at the four confused but then saw the remote as Kara pressed it down.

Immediately, Rhea started to gasp for breath, falling to the ground, while Mon stared her down in hate. Mon started to cough, lurching over and Iris tried to help him stand. "Mon-El," Rhea rasped and Mon looked at her. "Please...save me."

"Like you saved Father?" Mon asked. Rhea reached out for him but ultimately, she turned into stone and crumbled into dust.

Mon dropping to the ground coughing and Iris dropped down to help him while Kara and Barry stared at them heavily. "Mon-El! No! No, please, please," Iris begged as Mon slowly looked at her. "I'm gonna get you somewhere safe. I'm gonna take you somewhere safe."

"It's okay," Mon said as he cupped her face.

"No, no, no," Iris mumbled as she started to choke up.

"I can't," Kara said as she stepped away and pressed on her comms. "Alex, do something. Tell us what to do."

"Kara, there's nothing to do. The entire atmosphere's been affected."

"How long does he have?" Kara asked.

"I don't know...a few minutes?" Kara looked back at Iris and Mon, to see them crying in each other's arms.

"It was worth it," Mon told Iris but she shook her head, trying to tell herself that this wasn't actually happening.

"No," she muttered.

"Alex? Uh...do something for me?" Kara asked as Barry looked back at her with tears in his eyes.

Outside of National City

Iris helped guide Mon towards Kara's pod that was placed out in the middle of a field. "You're okay," Iris assured him.

"Iris," Mon rasped.

"I've got you," Iris said.

"Iris..."

"No, no, don't talk. Just save your energy," Iris said as Mon continued to cough but he stopped them.
