The Death of Supergirl

Lena was pacing around her apartment, she was pleased with herself so far, she had emotionally hurt Kara, just like Kara had done her. James Olsen was gone, back to Metropolis, Winn was still in the future, Sam Arias had been fired from L-Corp, Lucy Lane was currently being transferred out of the DEO and Cat Grant had lost her company, which was currently for sale. That just left Alex, Kara could no longer protect her family, they were spread to far apart. Kara would end up alone, just her and Supergirl

"Ms. Luthor."

"Yes, Hope?"

"You have unexpected visitors coming this way, through your private elevator."

"Identify"

"Alexander Danvers, Director of the DEO and Kara Danvers, Supergirl."

"Why isn't she flying in?"

"Current scans show that Supergirl is a 1% of her maximum abilities. I believe that phrase you use is blown out."

"Why are they here, audio on in the elevator please Hope."

"Kara, she is playing you, she is pushing your friends and family away, they are are to spread out, she is trying to hurt you."

"Alex stop, she forgave me, she understands why I didn't tell her, she is a good person."

"No Kara she's not."

"Yes she is, and when that door opens you will see."

"I don't want you hurt Kara."

"I know Alex, and neither does Lena, you'll see. Now we have to check on my best friend and make sure she is okay after all the Alien crap today."

"Just remember Kara, you're not invulnerable right now."

"She won't hurt me Alex, I believe in Lena."

"She still believes in me, no matter what I have done, what did I ever do to deserve her as a friend.", Lena thought to herself. Never mind, she is almost alone, just a wedge between her and Alex, then I can disappear from her life.

The doors to the elevator open and Lena plasters a fake smile on her face, and hugs Kara. Kara burst out talking about trust and how Lena would never hurt her. Alex just stares at her, and Lena gives Alex her best Luthor smile. Alex goes to open her mouth when Hope's alarms goes off.

"Two men approaching in the stairwell, both armed."

Lena and Kara stop hugging, as the door burst open. The first man takes aim at Alex and Kara moves in front of her, taking a bullet to the upper leg. The bullet passes through and hits Alex, causing her to drop to the floor. As she is falling she bangs her head, knocking her senseless.

"Kara, you're bleeding?"

"Blown out, fighting alien.", Kara grunts out, the pain causing her takes short breaths.

"Now it's your turn Ms. Luthor, this is from Lex. He sends his regards.", one of the men say. He then pulls the trigger twice, a classic double tap. Lena screams, as the bullets strike...Kara. The first caught her just below the symbol of her family, the second, right in the heart, spinning her around to face Lena. Two more shots rung out as Alex dropped both men.

Kara drops to her knees, looking at Lena's eyes. "I have always loved your eyes."

"Kara, why, why did you jump in front of me."

"You are my person Lena, I had to protect you.", she says, then coughs as her lungs start to have trouble processing oxygen.

"Kara, oh my god, Kara, you're going to be okay, we will get you to the DEO.", Alex cries.

Kara drops into Lena's lap, looking up at the face of the two women she loves.

"Kara, I don't deserve your protection, I was horrible to you."

"Lee, I promised.", she started to cough. As she caught her breathe, "I'm so sorry Lee, I let you down, I didn't mean to, please forgive me.", she coughs again.

"Alex, I love you sis, please protect her, please"

"I promise Kara, I will protect her, I promise, just don't go, please don't go Kara."

"Lee, you are my hero, I love you."

At those words, the light leaves the eyes of the Girl of Steel, and her breathing shudders. Her last act was to lace together the fingers of the women above her.

"Kara, don't go, please, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please be okay. Don't go Kara, please.", Lena screamed and cried at the same time.

Alex was in shock, nothing could have prepared her for Kara's death, she was just kneeling there, holding her sister and crying.
