Alex's POV

She was gone, again. The big problem, this time it was her choice. I got her note I just chose to ignore it. She was clearly hurt and needed help, I couldn't leave my sister all alone. What had bothered me though was the security tapes. At points, I could see her veins flashing. Similar to with the kryptonite but with a different colour. Her vitals before she'd ripped them away were almost perfect too. I was going to thank Lena but she just seemed confused.

"No, it can't have been the bots." Her words and movements were frantic.
"Why not?"
"It should've taken longer." I watched her at the monitor. She was getting up the bot results, they only ended up confusing her further. "It can't be."
"What's wrong?"
"It's the bots. They couldn't find anything wrong, they never did anything." Now I was confused too. Since when was Kara's almost only weakness ineffective? The thoughts in my head were racing.
"Can you track them?"
"I haven't managed to make a tracker small enough yet, sorry." What was going on?

She was missing for months before we heard anything from the hero or her. I'd asked her cousin and J'onn to try and find her but they came up with nothing too. I was actually worried she could be dead but eventually, we got a message.

While she'd been 'away', anti-alien activity had been stirring. We really could've used our hero but were now more used to working without her. She did make an appearance though. When a fight broke out outside the Whitehouse she finally made her grand comeback. She'd got a new suit and family crest apparently too. The world killer symbol that previously tortured my girlfriend now had my sister. Her outfit was so much darker, she wasn't Supergirl anymore and was making that very clear.

Her appearance had terrified both humans and aliens alike. They stood, almost frozen, just waiting for her to say something to help them like always. Out came something else instead.
"People of Earth. If you can't get along you will not get to keep the privilege of a home. Consider your options. Unity will reign." One of the best heroes of our world had was gone, Unity was merely a pale attempt to replace her. Lena was the first to react. She'd also been one of the most damaged by my sister's disappearance. She never stopped looking for her.

Lena was on a mission, it was easy to tell. Unfortunately, she was headed towards me.
"Get Sam here, now."
"Why?"
"She's Kryptonian. She can take us to the realm like Kara did before."
"I'm sorry but she can't do that."
"Why not? That's your sister, in case you forgot while you were too busy playing happy families."
"Hey, that's too far. You know I love my sister."
"But she's gone and it's my fault." She was hyperventilating.
"It's not your fault, Lena. Besides, even if I asked Sam to go to that place again, she said yes and she could, we don't have the equipment or any way to defeat Unity."
"We need to save her."
"We will." This was really getting to her more than anyone expected. Sure they were best friends but this seemed like more than that.

We tried the same method that we'd used before. The rock from Argon could've worked but we had no way to track or subdue the anti-hero. She was hurting, killing people. After what Sam had told me I couldn't imagine what Kara was going through in that valley. Potentially, she was forced to meet all the people the being killed in her likeness. All the people she'd saved. Her reputation was more than just shattered. This was way worse than the red kryptonite. The worst parts of my sister never killed anyone, it may have but we managed to stop her. We were only able to capture Unity once, it was horrible. For some reason, she'd come willingly.

Kara's POV

There were so many people and I killed them all. Every face tortured me, some of them were people I'd saved before. I killed each and every one of them. When they were surrounding me I had to face something even worse. Silence. The one thing I had all those years I was in space, why had I been in space? I tried to find an answer in the vast space of my mind but there was nothing there.
