                                                                    4 hours earlier

When I see Kara being wheeled in on a stretcher, my mind goes into panic mode. I follow Alex in the infirmary and try to ask what's going on while she spouts medical stuff that I don't understand. I spot Winn out of the corner of my eye and I walk over to him.

"What's going on, Winn?" He shakes head and he's blinking really fast like he's trying not to cry.

"Reign beat her. Now Kara won't wake up. We'll have to put her in the stasis tank for now." He starts to walk away, but I stop him, putting my hand on his shoulder.

"It's going to be okay Winn. She's Supergirl. She's been through worse."

"No, Mon-El. She hasn't." Winn shakes his head and walks away. Even Winn doesn't have hope. That's not good. I walk away and head toward my ship. Imra has her tablet and is studying something on it very intently.

"What are you doing?" I ask, startling Imra so bad she almost drops her tablet.

"Oh, nothing. What are you doing?" 

"Kara is in a coma." Imra puts a hand on her chest.

"I'm so sorry Mon-El. I know how much you care about her. Do you want to talk about it."

No. I just want her to wake up. I want to see her smile again and laugh. I want-" I stop when I realize that I said too much. Imra's face darkens.

"Mon-El? Do you still love her?"

"Don't do this Imra. Please," I plead with her. She just shakes her head.

"The truth Mon-El." I go and stand near her.

"Okay, I love her. Is that what you want to hear? That I am so afraid of losing her that I can't breathe. It hurts to see her hurting and to know that I did some of that. Now she's in a coma and I can't tell her how I feel." Tears start sliding down my face as I realize that it's all true. I'm still in love with Kara.

"What's so amazing about Supergirl? Yeah she has powers. So do many other people. I do. Why don't you want me?" I walk over to her and place my hands on her shoulders.

"Imra, I don't love her because she's Supergirl. I love her because she's Kara. She cares about everyone. She cares so much about me that she is willing to live with the fact that i'm married to you. She's not selfish. She's caring and passionate and-"

"Everything that i'm not," Imra interrupts. I start to speak but she cuts me off.

"No, I understand. She's great and i'm just your rebound girl. Well, let me tell you something Mon-El. I am exactly the opposite of Kara. I'm selfish, I don't care about anything but our mission, and I keep secrets."

"What do you mean? What secrets?" I practically start shaking her when she doesn't immediately answer me. Imra laughs and I can practically feel the temperature in the room drop at the sound.

"You really think that we came here on accident? Ha. I purposely had us wake up in this time. I mean, I was supposed to be the first awake so I could get the mission done, but it ended up working out almost perfectly." I back away, starting to shake. 

"Why are we here Imra?" She takes a step closer to me.

"We're here to kill Supergirl."

"What? You can't do that."

"Why not Mon-El? Supergirl isn't Kara, right?" Imra laughs bitterly.

"You are seriously messed up Imra. Kara is a part of Supergirl and vise versa. Anyway, you couldn't get close enough to Kara to do anything."

Imra just grins. "Who says that i'm going to do anything?" She starts messing around with her tablet and laughs when she finally comes across what she's looking for.

"Here, Mon-El. You get the privilege of seeing the weapon that will kill Supergirl, but save a whole planet."

I snatch the tablet from her, giving her a disgusted look before I look at the tablet. On it is a picture of a knife. It has a pitch black handle, but the blade is a murky white.

"What is this?"

"It's an essence taker. Once Supergirl is stabbed with it, everything that keeps her alive with be transferred into the dagger. Her powers. Her soul. Everything. All that will be left is a corpse."

My eyes widen. "Why, Imra? Why would you do this?" 

"It's the only way to save the planet." With that she snatches the tablet from me and turns away.

"I'm sorry Imra. I really am." I lift my arm and hit her as hard as I can over the head. I call security to come and take her. Now it's time to see Kara.
