Crisis

Red, Yellow, Green

TWENTY-EIGHT HOURS EARLIER...

Flash sped in with Green Arrow and Spartan, putting them down by his sides at the hangar. "Where are the rest?" Winn asked them as the team left at STAR Labs were onscreen on video call.

"They're coming." Barry points to a breach that just opens and Supergirl, Reign, Killer Frost, Batwoman, Dreamer, Alex, and Dinah-Black Canary came through, the two Kryptonians stumbling a bit and holding onto a couple of women's shoulders for support.

"Jeez, what happened?" Winn asked, rushing over to them.

"Did you not see the sun?" Supergirl asked, leaning against her sister.

"Yeah, it's setting— Oh, my God, that's not your average sunset." Winn glanced outside and when he and Oliver jogged outside the hangar doors, they were blinded by the red sun shining upon them while Barry meets them there with a run.

"He didn't," Winn whispered. "Not again."

"What's going on?" Oliver asked.

"Years ago, Lex Luthor turned the sun red to deprive Kryptonians of their powers and he's doing it again," Winn explains as he runs back in, seeing more heroes and tech gurus come in. "I need every sun lamp we have on and around our Kryptonians, stat."

Lena comes in through one portal, going over to Kara. "I thought it wasn't true," she said as she hugged her, gripping her close.

Kara groans in her hold. "Tight."

"Sorry, sorry." She pulls back and holds her by her shoulders to look her over. She notices her weak eyes first, drained of life and color. Even with that one facial feature going darker, she looked older.

Lena frowns slightly at her state. "Put on the helmet and say 'activate sun lamps.'"

Kara gives her a look but the helmet goes over her face and she says, "Activate sun lamps."

"Gladly, Kara Zor-El." The voice that was said to the Kryptonian and her only made her freeze as the sun lamp generators in her suit turn on, making her feel stronger slowly.

She licked her lips, moisturizing them from her suddenly dry mouth. "M-Mom?"

"What can I do for you?"

"Can you lighten my outside view?" The dark exterior of the helmet goes transparent so Lena can see the blonde was tearing up and weakly smiling at her. "Is that what you were working on?"

Lena smiled with a nod. "Yeah."

Kara grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Thank you."

"Always." 

"Mom!" Ruby runs over from the back of the hangar, meeting her mother halfway. "You're okay." Sam takes off her mask as she bends down to catch her in a hug.

"Of course I am, baby." She grunts a bit at her squeeze, getting Ruby to pull back and be skeptical, then her gaze goes out the hangar doors. 

"Mom?"

"I'm fine, babes. I promise." She stands up and looks over at Lena and Kara. "What's the plan?"

"Well first," Sara says, rolling in a cart of sun lamps, "we turn these bad boys on." She flips a switch on the cart and they turn on, facing the Kryptonians and they sigh in relief. "That's one."

"Two," Winn says, rolling in a taller sun lamp with Curtis, "we need to figure out how to reverse the sun's solar ray colors."

"How did you do it last time, Lena?" Alex asks as Green Arrow, Flash, and Team Supergirl all gather in the middle of the circle of the lamps.
