Kara's POV:

"Are you finally ready to do what needs to be done?" Max asks. A shaky breath slipped my mouth, hesitating to work with him.

"What's your plan?" I gave in. I don't have much of a choice. I need to save National City. I need to save the people, my friends, and.. Y/n. I have to save her.

"Before You and I sang Kumbaya amd decided to be friends, I was working on a weapon to use against the Kryptonians. All Kryptonians." Max said as he stood up.

"What kind of weapon?" I asked with Max answering immediately.

"A bomb. Filled with Kryptonite dust. It'll irradiate the entire city. Choke them all to death. No more Myriad." Max simply explained.

"Um, Anderson, do you think you could hold on for just a skosh?" Cat butted in putting the person on the other line on hold. "Forgive me, but won't that kill Supergirl and Superman?" Cat asks.

"Not if she flies up and detonates it over the city center. Then she and he skedaddle. She won't be able to come back to National City for roughly 50 years but that's a small price to pay to save the world, right?" Max explains.

"What about the human beings? Will they be affected at all?" I asked worrying about them.

"The concussive force to properly dispose the Kryptonite dust will result in some losses." Max says.

"Hmm, Anderson, I'm gonna have to call you back. What exactly are we talking about, Max? Losses?" Cat said crossing her arms.

"8% of the population." Max said

"8% of the population." Cat repeated with a more shocked but serious voice.
"8% of 4 million people? That is over 300,000 people, Max." Cat told Max.

"Versus the seven billion people on the planet that Non wants to turn into zombies." Max argued

"Are you seriously considering this?" Cat turned to me. I stood quiet. I am considering this. It's the only thing we can do.

"She is. Because she knows it's our only chance. If this spreads from National City, it won't be long before every man, woman, and child, including your children, will be on their knees." Max said pointing at Cat. "I won't let that happen. I swore to save this world. That's exactly what I'm going to do."

"What if we tell Non we have this weapon? Force him to see reason." I suggested only making him scoff at my suggestion.

"Tell that those office divers" he joked.

"Please, have you no shame? And one of those 'office divers' is my daughter, so watch it." Cat said and defend Y/n.

"No, i don't have shame. Not anymore. All i have is my mind. And for how much longer I'm not sure. What i know it's that, for every second we don't act, we risk the end of humanity." Max said then looked at me "Time to save the world, Supergirl. Are you with me?"

I have no choice but to do so. In order to save National City. In order to save Y/n. I have to.
