The Death of Supergirl

The Nightmare

Kara heard her own heart start to beat again, then it beat again, and again. Then finally she could take a breath. The air was stale, but felt so good. Her body was healing itself, and she was so tired. The mighty blonde let sleep take over her body, but it couldn't drown out her thoughts.

The dream started in the elevator, on the way to Lena's apartment, she felt tired and weak, having blown herself out battling another powerful alien menace, but L Corp had been ground zero and she needed to check on Lena. She and Alex were arguing about Lena, and even though she knew Lena was angry with her, she still defended her. She would always defend Lena, she couldn't help it, she was so in love. But Lena didn't know that.

Suddenly the shooters where there, Alex was down, a bullet through her heart. She couldn't get to Lena fast enough. Lena was dying, "Don't go Lena. Don't go."

"It's your fault Kara, she's dying and it's all your fault.", Alex's corpse was talking to her.

"That's right Supergirl, it's all your fault. I'm dying, you failed me again.", Lena growled.

All her friends were suddenly there, they were all dying, you failed us Kara, you failed us. Why did you leave Kara, you failed us again and again.

The nightmare changed, now it was her, lying there, Lena and Alex looking down on her.

"Leaving again Kara, chose Lena over me she said, as blood ran down her chest from a wound in her heart."

"You failed Kara, and I hate you for it", Lena was bleeding as well, from a hole in her heart.

"I tried, I was trying, Lena, Alex, I'm so sorry. Forgive me please."

"Why should we forgive you, you failed us, again."

"Not on purpose, I was trying. Alex I love you, Lena please forgive me."

"No," they both yelled, then laughed at her as the darkness overwhelmed her.

She could hear them as her eyes closed and her heart stopped.

"Don't go Kara, please", Alex begged.

"I'm sorry Kara, I'm so sorry", Lee cried, "Forgive me Kara."

"It wasn't your fault Lee, it wasn't, stay good Lee, protect her Alex. I don't want to go, but I can't help it, I want to be there for you both.", Kara cried. They couldn't hear her, she couldn't keep her promise again, she was failing her family, her friends and her city. She couldn't do anything right, she was failure as a hero and a person.

The, the dream changed again. Her family was gathering at her home, they were together and they seemed happy. Then suddenly they were surround, CADMUS was there and she couldn't save them. Her family was dead, all of them. Then she heard Lillian's laugh, and watched her walk across the room, then she looked Kara dead in the eye, held up a gun and fired.

Kara screams, her eyes glowing red, her breathing quick, her heart racing. It was a nightmare.

"Oh my god, it was a nightmare", she screamed, then she realized where she was. "I'm in my pod, I died, or at least they thought I did. I have to get back, I have to save my family." Her pod was close to the Sun, so Kara Zor-El, Supergirl decided it was time to go home. She burst through the pods cockpit and paused one moment to figure out where she was, then with a silent scream, she started flying home.

On Earth the DEO had been tracking Kara's pod, they all held their breath and watched as the signal stopped and the pod crashed into the Sun. Tears fell, but worked continued, Kara was gone, or so they thought.
