Luthor's New World Order

Downer Ending aka Bad Ending

Kara's dissection did not end quickly. On the contrary, Lex dragged it out as long as possible. Then, fueled by sheer spite alone, even after poor Kara had already halfway slipped over the brink of death, he dragged her back to life again and carried her away in secret in order to continue to keep her alive as long as humanly (and Kryptonian) possible, just so that he could torture her even more.

After fully healing Kara and bringing her back to life, Lex injected her with a plethora of other types of Kryptonite. He slowly robbed her of all of her powers until she was even weaker than the average human, but he still wasn't done. Even though he intentionally brought her down to a human level, and then even slightly below, he still did his best to keep her alive as long as possible. Because of that, her torment was able to continue on for an insanely and graphically long time.

Decades on end, Kara stayed strapped to that operation table, body spread wide open for all to see. By that time, though, Kara had been so thoroughly broken that her mind was in total lockdown and as Hellish as her circumstances were, it all meant nothing to her anymore and she was hardly aware of anything, even the endless and agonizing pain of being slowly ripped open every. Single. Day. Of. Her. Life. It just became another cog in Lex's cruel machinery, and she reacted to nothing anymore. She was more dead than alive now.

The rest of the world finally engaged in yet another world war. This time, though, Lex did not care. Having completed the very task he set out to do (remove all aliens from Earth) he fled underground and let the humans sort themselves out. His twisted and glorious dreams of raising the human race above all others had warped into selfish dreams of petty revenge and control. He no longer cared about the good of mankind. Now all he wanted was revenge, against aliens, for all of their alleged grievances against him. He didn't want to raise humanity up anymore, he just wanted to tear aliens down. So he did. Every single day, for the rest of his life.

While the real world tore itself apart and blew itself up into smithereens, Lex stayed safely hidden away with the rest of his family in a remote and untraceable part of the world. Thanks to his cunning and foresight, they had enough supplies to live comfortably in that bunker for the rest of their lives. While the rest of the world burned around them, the Luthors danced in the warm glow of the flames, triumphant. Poor Kara was forced to endure it all. While the rest of the outside world either died or moved on without her, she remained a dissection tool to the Luthors, who never got tired of tearing her apart piece by piece. Not that she cared anymore, hardly aware of anything at all.

Eventually, Lex dared to send a copy of one of Kara's latest dissections to the Danvers family. Although they had long-since guessed what had become of Kara, to be tricked into actually watching it happen sent them all over the brink of despair. All three of them eventually committed suicide. Jeremiah shot himself, Eliza succumbed to grief and essentially starved to death, and Alex began engaging in risky behaviors without a care in the world. She was nearly struck by a car when she chose to recklessly go jogging down a highway, but what really did her in was when she boldly strode through a more dangerous city and intentionally provoked a local gang into killing her. All of the Danvers were now dead. Except Kara. Who was still alive with the Luthors, hidden away and completely untraceable, fit only to be dissected over and over and over again for all time.

Kara's body was never found. She was never properly laid to rest like all the other alien dissection victims were. The Luthors continued to thrive in their secret base, untouchable and free, totally separate from the rest of the warring, dying world. Their supporters and enemies alike died, and every town across the world was ravished by war, including Midvale, where it all began, which was little more than smoking ruins at this point. The Luthors were never found and never found guilty and lived out the rest of their lives happily, ceasing to dissect Kara only when the very last of them finally passed. This was Lena, the very last Luthor.

"Guess this is it, huh Kara?" she croaked, an ancient woman now, skin wrinkly and hair white. "Guess it's finally over for us. Time to take our final bow, old friend," she said, then she pulled the plug on Kara's life support, though Kara had already stopped responding decades ago. The two of them died together, Kara's literally broken heart finally heaving its final beat right as Lena's breath slipped out from her lungs one last time, her lungs too weak to take in another breath. Then together, they slipped away into the afterlife, their bodies still locked away in that secret bunker, never to be found or seen again.
