6LW: Well this is new, Demon AU for the win :D Also a slight break from OP, don't worry the next chapter should still arrive on schedule, and if not then the following Sunday. Now this is inspired by a GeneralDanvers (aka Alex/Astra) fic called 'What to Do with a Demon' by Kendrickhier from AO3, if you're reading this on FF then I have no idea if it's over there too, sorry I just don't get my Supergirl fanfiction from that site as often these days.
One last thing, this is part prologue, then we bounce around season 1's plot, not all of it just the relevant parts. I guess you could call it world building but that sounds way too intentional.
Deals with Demons
Krypton
'Watashi ga ēteru no sonzai o kiite, watashi wa saitei no fuka-sa de kyōtei o shi, watashi no chi wa watashi no ito no shirushi to shite watashi no denwa ni kotae, anata no kakaku ni namae o tsukemasu'
Alura bites her lip in concentration, though a faint bubble of amusement surfaces when she imagines what her linguist tutor would think to know her lessons would be used to summon a demon, given she was from Tameran she'd probably laugh her shapely ass off. Still there was purpose to her little paddle into demonology, the reports the council had been given were grave, the planet's core was losing stability, she guessed they had at most a decade before the damage was publicly noticeable and also near irreversible. Currently they were suppressing the information so as to not cause a panic but it also seemed they were fine with just ignoring it the same as the general public, which was how she got to such a severe option.
Sighing she looks down at the geometrically accurate pentagram as well as it's exactly copied runes running along it's rim (so she was a perfectionist, she wanted this to work) and hoped she had read everything correctly, Astra was the all tongue speaker of the 2, 24 languages fluent compared to Alura's 9, but she knew her big sis (by 5 minutes as Astra used to constantly point out) had little impulse control and on the highly likely chance this didn't work the idiot would do something stupid, getting herself in trouble and dragging Alura down with her. No this had to be her, the bloody dagger sitting in the centre of the circle ensured it and now all she needed to do was call the demon to Krypton
' Come to me, Hell's General Luci'
There was a slight flash of the runes but other than that she got nothing, the usually calm and collected judge was clenching her fists tight enough her nails drew blood, just to avoid lashing out and breaking something
'A woman, didn't expect that but it's definitely a welcome change' an amused female voice purrs, causing Alura to quickly spin around to see a woman sitting on her chair with her feet resting on the table. She was much darker than most on Krypton, with short black hair and wearing combat boots similar to the kind her sister refuses to remove when she come visit, mostly because she knows it pisses off the neat freak in Zor-El even more than her ignoring of rules annoys Alura. It was only her position that enabled the kryptonian to see them though as the rest of her was covering in a similar outfit to Alura's usual 'work clothes' as Astra calls her robes which confused her, was this being a warrior or a mediator? And what was she doing in her chair? She tried reading the woman's face but ended up getting lost in eyes of strongest blood red, with jet black sclera, as well as a crooked grin that showed off needle like teeth 'Hello darling'
'How, how did you get there? You shouldn't be there' Alura asks in confusion, the woman sighing before she fades away
'Happy now?' she replies standing in the circle 'Good quality with the symbols, most people can't even make the circle right never mind the pentagram, I approve' she gives a double thumbs up, which really just continued to confuse the Kryptonian 'So what does the delicious human want?' she asks with a smirk
'I'm not human, I'm Kryptonian' Alura corrects, while she didn't think herself a bigot like some of her fellow citizens, it did ruffle her personal pride to be considered anything else, at least the demon didn't call her a Daxamite 'And you didn't explain how you got out'
Luci raises her hand defensively, but she still smiles 'Calm down darling, not expecting anything other than human to be able to summon me, I'm impressed though. As for the other thing, illusions and invisibility, I've been standing here since you called my name, can't leave the circle after all' seeing the question in the alien's eyes she shrugs and answers 'I have to get my entertainment somewhere. So what did you want from me?' she asks
Alura straightens her spine and calms her features 'I need you, to save my planet'
The maniacal laughter was not what she expected, so that was 2 minutes of awkwardness she was never going to get back before the demon regained her composure 'Whoa, you Kryptons don't asks for much do you? Fix a whole planet? Sorry kid even I don't have that kind of power, not even the 4 Great Satans do' she lips curls into a feral smirk 'I can ensure your family survives this catastrophe though' she offers, watching the emotions play out on Alura's face: a sense of duty battling with her love of her family, mostly her sister as her and Zor-El was really friends at best and the marriage was the standard betrothal common to Krypton and Daxam.
'Fine, what do you want?'
'So many things' the demon purrs her hand passing over the protections as if they weren't there 'But don't worry you and your family will survive this rock's destruction, and I'll exact my pound of flesh as they say' her teeth flash 'she'll be much more than a pound though'
'What are you…' Alura begins but before she can blink Luci was in her personal space, hands gripping her hips and their cores pressed together
'I've agreed to the deal, but I can't get my payment from the cage you built. Don't worry darling, you might just enjoy it. I've been told I'm very good at this' her nose crinkles in amusement as Alura's eyes widen, feeling something that really shouldn't be there 'And to think I nearly let snake eyes handle this'
Alura never even tried to summon the demon again after that night, knowing that while tricksters they were bound to their deals, so she knew her family was safe. This meant she was able to raise Kara without having to worry about the morality of bringing her into a doomed world, though a small part of her hoped Krypton's scientists would be able to find a way to halt the destruction if nothing else it wasn't exactly helped by the continued blissful ignorance the rest of the council held on the matter.
Sending Astra to the Phantom Zone tore at her heart and soul and for once wondered if Luci would be able to twist their deal, after all Astra was off the doomed Krypton she was just trapped in a prison in the Phantom Zone instead. The hardest part was looking at Kara for the month following Astra's arrest and imprisonment, the girl was still very much a child but the intellect both on paper and even just in those crystal blue eyes still shocked and worried her, she hadn't wanted to use her own child like that but Astra had found out about Krypton and like she predicted that fateful night had flown off the handle and done something stupid. Kara was the only person who would be able to contact Astra, so tricking her into getting her to come home was too easy for such a painful decision, especially when she was sure she could see in Kara's face the girl knew she'd been used.
Watching Kara escape in the pod was a final blow, the world was falling apart around her but at least her daughter was safe, free from the death that was now awaiting her. It was then she froze realising the problem with her deal: the demon promised her family would be safe, but she didn't think it said she would be. While she held herself strongly as she watched the pod disappear inside she was falling apart, not expecting Zor-El as he held her comfortingly stick her with something, her blurred vision missing the crimson eyes and crooked grin on the man's face as he picked her up and carried her back into the lab.
'This body would do, this one will fulfil my orders while he still lives'
Earth
Kara Danvers was a completely ordinary teenager, she didn't see auras, nope, no siri. She also didn't have super strength, flight, laser vision and the uncanny ability to know when people were lying and convincing them to spill their soul to her either. What she did have was a strange allergy (almost looked like 2nd degree burns) to silver, but since coming to earth her Kryptonian physiology seemed to negate it for the most part. This did though lead to Jeremiah adding along side the lead glasses that regulated her super senses, a beautifully crafted bracelet made of pure silver with designs taken from home, which Kara loved and never was without unless her powers were out, in which case it's disappearance would clue the others in to make keep an eye out for anything that could harm Kara. Also the less said about how there would be flecks of red in her blue eyes when she experienced high emotions the better.
The ability to sense bonds was one too strange for her to even mention to another person, after all she couldn't really say to the people who took her in that even when they were close and looked to be enjoying each others company their auras were distinctly separate, then again so were her parents so maybe it was the same here on earth. The fact Alex's bond linked her 'beyond the stars' confused her but again, she wasn't going to talk with anyone about it because she had enough crazy shit to deal with, especially when a scary man came to the house and his aura mingled better with Eliza's than her own husband's.
Her 1st meeting with Miss Grant threw her for a moment as her senses picked up things she probably shouldn't know, like the stylised 'L' that's tail curled back and entwined itself until it formed a serpent's hood over the letter, branded on her wrist, one that matched Kara's own perfectly. She didn't ask what deal she made to get her mark, what she asked 'her' for, but she wasn't going divulge her secrets that easily either. Still Cat caught her interest and despite the plan Kara didn't hold back her skills or achievements, at least the relevant ones, having 3 PhD's wasn't something she was going to mention or else the words 'Grossly over-qualified' would leave the older woman's lips and she'd be thrown out and Kara could already see she was going to like it here. So instead she emphasized her loyalty, determination and enthusiasm, something which she noticed curled Cat's lip if only for a moment before RBF returned and she was dismissed, with orders to be back for 8 sharp outside her office with her morning coffee. Kara wasn't sure how she lasted until she left to cheer, nor how she managed to actually walk rather than fly back to Alex's.
She loved the Danvers and she knew they did so much to keep her safe, even if they were putting a lot of pressure on the girl she saw as her big sis, but they didn't understand her position, neither did Kal because he was basically a human with her powers, she had a purpose like all Kryptonians, she'd failed her promise in protecting Kal and then the humans and her baby cousin were stopping her from fulfilling her purpose, to take down threats and help people (just like her aunt), she knew the military was not an option for someone like her, but being a hero, that was something she could be. This was actually the only reason she didn't expect a thanks for saving my ass from Alex when she finally did something epic and stopped that plane from crashing down and killing everyone, because she wanted something to happen, anything that would push her to finally embrace her purpose.
Entering the DEO wasn't as much of a betrayal as she'd expected, probably because she was keeping parts of herself secret too, but other than being reintroduced to the scary black man from her childhood, this time as Alex's boss, she was strangely okay with everything and with a consultant position with the DEO meant she was getting a little extra on the side simply for being a really smart alien, plus she had help when dealing with threats both alien and human, thanks to Alex being her usual stubborn self and getting Hank to see it worked better this way than how they ran things previously.
Meeting Lucy was interesting to say the least, the woman stood out amongst humans, not only for being able to give as good as she got from the military grunts Kara had seen but even compared to women like Alex and maybe even Astra she was badass. Then there was also the fact Kara felt drawn to the small human, she felt like 'Ukr' which confused her as she'd never felt that before, she was supposed to, back on Krypton or even here with the Danvers before Jeremiah left but here with Lucy she felt it and it confused her as much as it intrigued her.
Though it worried her that when she finally met her as Kara rather than Supergirl, she said the hero looked like something was broken inside and she wanted to hold her close and heal the damage…. While not breaking eye contact for even a second, despite it being James who asked what she thought of Supergirl now she'd finally met the woman. There was no way Lucy could know after just a moment with her, sure the girl obviously wasn't human (there was a lingering ashy scent to her, as apposed to the plasma that clung to Kryptonians so she wasn't one of them either, nor whatever Hank was as he just felt off, nothing specific just that something wasn't quite right about him), but she didn't want to consider it being one of them, plus Lucy seemed nice and Kara really wanted a female friend, she only had Leslie and that was kind of sad.
Kara saw there was definitely something wrong with her when she accidentally 'created' Livewire, Leslie went from a snarky blond (reminding the alien of a younger Cat if she was being honest, and out of Ms Grant's earshot), to a tall, bony but somehow also busty, snow white haired entity, smelling of burning ozone and with a crown of horns curling back from her skull. The fact she could turn herself into electricity and essentially overshadow/possess anything electrical really didn't help matters, and with all that the fact her eyes turned white with black pin pricks for pupils was almost not worth noting.
The Black Mercy was… not what she expected; instead of some idyllic world it was a fragmented mess, moments of her life interlaced with others, as if the plant couldn't understand what she was, and how to please her. The longest and most coherent part was also the last; one Kara may have known was fake from the get go but it didn't make her cry any less: she was back on Krypton, her old room looking out on the once beautiful planet below, Alura enters and pulls her close, muttering about how her baby girl is all grown up and ready to make her way in the world, and then she feels it, that ashen taste as long arms encircle her from behind and she turns to see a hooded female with blood red eyes smiling proudly before running her fingers through Kara's dirty blond locks 'My perfect heir' was whispered, in a voice that sounded so familiar it hurt. The amused cackle of another familiar being made the pain turn to anger though: seeing those slitted pink eyes on the reptile's face, her arms crossed under her impressive bosom that Kara feels as drawn to in this illusion as her dream all those years ago.
'Enjoying your nap darling?' she asks with a teasing list, her clothing sickeningly kryptonian, and her visible teeth showed she felt the same as Kara on that fact
'What are you doing here Le?' Kara asks, pulling herself reluctantly from her father's embrace to confront the demon who grinned until she tried to strike her, at which point the reptid grabs her arm and pulls her close, pushing back the sleeve to reveal her brand burning red
'I chose you Kara, I could have done much worse to you' she hisses and Kara knows she pissed the demon off 'I chose a mate, just like your father did little Halfling. Don't think you can just walk away, no one breaks deals with me dearie' there was that teasing smirk once more, before she noticed something on the edge of her awareness 'Well it appears you're needed elsewhere, goodbye darling'
Kara thinks she can hear Alex's voice calling to her, begging her to come out, to wake up, something but while her ears were focused on that her eyes were focussed on the lizard looking demon shifting into a beautiful woman and kissing her… right before she shot up out of the bed she'd been left on.
'Fucking tease' she thinks before being pulled into an embrace by her crying sister
Alex came within inches of killing the elder kryptonian when Kara got to them, but it wasn't that she was stopped, more what happened due to her sister's protective instincts mixing with the desire to finally stop the fighting. The Kryptonite machete shattering against Kara's chest shocked everyone, no more so than Kara herself, though Alex was a close 2nd when the fact she almost killed her sister sank in, wrapping her arms around the blond and crying deeply into her shoulder, whispering apologies and promises as the younger girl. It was only when a shocked but grateful Astra followed suit did Kara notice something odd, both brunette's aura's melded around her, her own was still separate though.
'Oh Little One, you shouldn't have done that, not for me' Astra whispers into her ear while Alex continues to ball
'I'm sorry Kara, I can't stand to see you hurt, I don't want to come this close to hurting you ever again' she whimpers, squeezing tighter as she knows the blond hero wouldn't break
Despite himself J'onn was just as amused as the Ze-Danvers family (which is how Kara identifies more so than El) when, after getting back to the DEO and testing her it seemed to be that Kara's vulnerability to kryptonite appeared to be mostly psychological, a really messed up placebo effect according to Lucy when she finally heard.
With a little help from Hank, Alex and Lucy Astra was able to be given a provisional consultant position, providing she wore a low level kryptonite band and was accompanied by either Alex, Kara or Lucy wherever she went. She was also staying in Alex's apartment, something they'd managed to sneak under the radar so they didn't try locking her up when she wasn't 'being useful', something Kara knew General Lane had been looking forward to repeating
One problem with her newly discovered kryptonite immunity was that she felt she'd be fine when she was exposed to Lord's poorly made, red rather than green kryptonite. At first she didn't really see any problems, she dressed better and was no longer a doorstop in work and even the DEO, as well as pissing Siobhan off so badly she managed to get herself fired, but it was when she killed a Fort Razz escapee (despite Astra and Lucy saying the creature deserved what he got, having seen his rap sheet) that she realised something was wrong, but at this point she'd let something out that wasn't going to go quietly back into her box.
What this meant was a rather fun little rampage through National City, about a dozen of General Lane and Max Lord's people being hospitalized and a wardrobe change for our blond alien, that ultimately lead to a little confrontation/conversation with Cat Grant in her office/on her balcony, her younger pretty casual and aloof right until out of sheer frustration Cat decides to see if it were possible to smack some sense into her (as if Alex and Astra hadn't already tried darling :D)
Supergirl catches the blonde's arm and pulls it toward her, pushing the band from her wrist to reveal the brand 'It seems we both made costly decisions' she purrs, Cat trying not to look into the red ringed blue eyes of the former hero 'Maybe you should learn to share, preferably before she comes for you too' she kisses the brand before letting go, allowing Cat to fix her shirt sleeve 'Plus maybe we should at least try to get along or else she'll get mad and we'll be spanked' she adds with a teasing smirk
'You know you shouldn't do these things' Cat states rather than asks, and as she expected the kryptonian chuckles
'Of course, but where's the fun in that mate?' she grins rictusly 'To have so much power but not to use it, it's such a waste'
'But you've done so much good…' she was interrupted by a laugh that was more a bark
'I've been going against my better nature helping you insects, I am finally free to do as I was born to do, and there's not a thing you can do to stop me'
Cat sighs 'Must you behave like such a child little halflin…' she finds a steely grip around her throat as her back collides with the wall
'I have had it with people calling me that, of people knowing things about me but not sharing them. If you know what the fuck I am then just fucking tell me' Kara snarls, no that she was going to get much of a response when the older blond was currently struggling to breathe, her nails uselessly trying to dig into Kara's arm, which only slackened when she on the brink of unconsciousness 'Shame, you humans are so… fragile. Well too bad so sad' she shrugs before tossing the woman off the balcony, standing there for about 10 seconds before with a sigh she jumps down and catches Cat, just before she hits the ground
'Why?' Cat asks in confusion to which Kara just smiles, more gently than before
'I already mentioned sharing and getting along, can't really do that if you're dead. You'd be letting down team human' she jokes but Cat sees a little more blue in her eyes than before, it was this almost happy moment Astra, Alex and Hank found them in.
The biggest consequence of Kara's little Red K binge, among other things was that it outed Hank/J'onn as being an alien and meant the military could look into and overturn any of his decisions… including Astra's protection under DEO employment. So it was a pissed beyond belief Kara who watched those bastards load her family into a van to be taken off to God knows where, both aliens with suppression collars which Alex had simply been triple cuffed (This is Alex Danvers after all, with training from J'onn J'onzz and Astra In-Ze, they needed the extra cuffs). She was left standing in the DEO like a statue until Lucy popped up beside her and taped her on the shoulder
'Hey little Z, we got work to do and family to save' she says with a small smile, which she was glad to see Kara returned
'We are, but how?'
'While you were playing mime, I was given a promotion to DEO director, which my 1st order was to tell the army to piss off and leave us alone, and that they could leave under their own power or after Dr. T'Pero signs off the bodies to send back to their families' Kara smiles slightly at that 'Now the important thing is we know where we're going, they're on their way to Cadmus, but we're going to get them on the way'
'How'd you find that out?' Kara asks curiously
'I can be really persuasive when I want to be' she says with a smirk
'So can I just so you know' Kara sighs 'I don't want to know, do I?'
Flashback
Lucy sits backwards on the chair, sitting across from the idiot who sent her family away, most likely under Lane's orders but it was still his hand that brought the axe down on them. He had this cocky smirk, probably thinks she'll be browbeaten by 'daddy' to let him go, oh boy was he in for a shock
'Is there a point to this?' he asks, looking bored
'Well you can tell me where you sent them of your own free will, or I can simply make you tell me' Lucy smiles humourlessly
'Ha, you don't scare me, you're just a brat' his arrogant smirk remains… until Lucy's hand dents the table 'Wh-wh-what? You're one of those freaks too?' he stutters, making the mistake of looking into her eyes. Burning red pits and a flickering form had him instinctively recoil until she grabbed him by his shirt, talon like fingernails drawing blood.
'Now, you're going tell me everything I want to know' her voice rumbled in the enclosed space and her hand had to shoot up to muffle his scream
End Flashback
'You're probably right' she answers with a shrug
'Um Director, Supergirl' Vasquez pipes in, the agent one of Kara's few friends in this place besides Lucy 'What do we do about everything now you're the Director?'
Lucy waves her hand dismissively 'Everything remains as J'onn left it, only difference is you report to me instead of him, any changes I decide to make I'll tell you about when they happen' the agent nods and heads back to work, Lucy leading Kara out of the building
One motorcycle ride later
'Not exactly subtle Hellfire' Astra comments as she watches Lucy practically melt the driver's brain, the woman's only reaction was to wave her hand in her direction, a shimmer in air preceding the kryptonian being replaced by a leggy red head 'Hey!' Astra yelled
'Relax, it's just a glamour, that streak of yours is not exactly subtle either Thing 2' she teases 'But don't worry, family can see you as you really are. Now get a moving' she shoves the hidden alien back to the others, grinning at Alex's expression to seeing Astra's new look as well as Kara's to her trick.
'It's a glamour, some aliens can either do it naturally such as Martian shape shifting, or else they have tech that does it for them. Good decision on Director Lane's part to bring something for Astra with her' J'onn smiles slightly while the girl nods
'Wait, what does she look like now, I just see Aunt Astra' Kara asks, pouting slightly
'Guess that's another Kryptonian superpower, seeing through artificial glamours. She's similar to her old form in build, but with red hair, paler skin and stormy grey eyes. Still looks like she can break me in half and is quite well off up top but I don't think it's designed to change people too severely in a physical sense' Alex answers, Lucy and Astra sharing a smile
'Okay so we should probably get out of here quickly, you guys track down Cadmus and Kara and I will pretend we were never here' Lucy announces the battle plan and everyone nods, Hank and Astra not seeing any issues with the plan so go along without issue, stepping in place beside Alex while Kara floats over to Lucy
'You kind of look cute as a ginger' Alex blurts, Astra chuckles as she rolls her now grey eyes
'Thank you Brave One, and I hear you find my bosom quite desirable, but we still have your father to rescue' she replies, snapping Alex out of her daydream and back to focus, even if her cheeks are bright red right now. Given his abilities J'onn couldn't help silently chuckling until he remembered he was going to have to put up with these 2 for the foreseeable future and groaned loudly. Lucy smirks and puts her arm around his shoulders 'Don't worry green man, I'm sure the lovebirds will keep it together till the mission is done' she says to try comfort the man, though she was wishing she could see their awkward flirting as it had become a source of amusement in the DEO, mostly for her and Vasquez as well as their recent glamoured alien doctor, Dr. Lexi T'Pero, the blue skinned blond enjoying to watch them interact while Kara is being treated seeing as that was when she saw them act the most.
The appearance of Barry Allen showing up in her world came at a really good time as while she could easily have survived being shot out the window by Siobhan, it was still a good catch, plus with Alex, Astra and J'onn out of town it was nice to have someone else around when Siobhan (now Silver Banshee) and Livewire decided to team up to wreck shit, starting with her and Cat. She did at least find some amusement when Barry's lightning bolt was thrown at Leslie she batted it aside like it was nothing, taking out Banshee in the process and she has no reaction beyond a slight smirk. They did eventually manage to take them out, but with a lot of damage to both herself, Barry and the general area they fought, which the people were actually starting to get used to (the construction industry was doing pretty good at the moment), but the universe did have to bite her in the ass as Myriad was activated the evening after they sent him home. That it was a mind control device was something Kara really wished Astra had told them, either when she first joined them, or else before running off with Alex and Hank to rescue her dad, she was just glad there were a few people free of it's effects, they were Cat and Lord, but given the thing affected Clark, it was the best she was going to get
She was happily surprised that even though Lucy appeared to be affected, the biggest action being she had someone else let out the prisoners out... before immediately shooting her in the face once they got out and started rampaging around the base. Kara sighs as she has a feeling she's going to have to clean up this mess once everything was over and done with, but seeing Non look like an angry child when she gave the camera the middle finger almost made it worth it… almost. While she may not pray to Rao or Apep that much any more/since coming to Earth, but Astra showing back up to catch one of the people Non in a tantrum had jump off CatCo, made her think it was a gift from at least one of them. It also helped that Astra was there to stop Alex when she got puppeted by Non and Indigo, though she wished that literally short circuiting her brain with a tonsil hockey level kiss hadn't been the plan. At least the lack of distractions made it easier to work a way through myriad, even if it did mean she had to work with Max Lord, though she did spend the entire time wanting to punch his head into a red mist every time she looked at his smug grin. Luckily that was to a lesser extent Alex's first reaction when she finally regained consciousness, punching him in the jaw, simply because he's Lord, he's always a dick.
CatCo, during Myriad Plan B
Cat twitches as her head starts to throb, hoping Kara and the others will fix things, she didn't want today to be her last
'You know I can help with that dearie' the blond looks up to see a familiar pink reptile eyes on a pale human face, pointed teeth revealed in her grin 'The device is only fatal to humans after all'
'No thanks, you've already done enough to me' Cat grumbles
'Nothing you didn't chose, nothing you didn't agree to. Come on kitty, Carter's gonna need his mom when this is all over'
'Then maybe you should show up more often' she responds, the pain not doing to much for her temper
'Well you were the one who told me to stay away, to give Carter a normal childhood, even letting him believe that bastard created him' the demon sneers and Cat rolls her eyes
'Don't act like you haven't already ripped his balls off by now' she scoffs while the cute monster grins
'Oh you know me so well dearie. Though seeing as I'm here, what do you think of Kara?'
'I'd like to know when I became part of a harem Le' Cat replies earning a tired sigh
'Fine, be boring then. I got that lovely Halfling when she begged for someone to save her adopted father, I couldn't resist taking her as my own, not the way I did you, but she's half kryptonian so I have all the time in the world'
Cat rubs her temples 'well I suppose you could do worse, she's the nicest person I know of and even Carter likes her. Also as her little temper tantrum showed she knows about me as well'
'Marvellous, and don't worry darling, I won't do anything to you if you don't want to' she turns off to the desert and smiles 'It seems Kara is about to relieve you of your pain' Cat looks on her at confusion, then the ringing stops and she leans back, sighing in relief.
'So is everything good?'
'Maybe, kid is in space at the moment, but while she is coming back down it's a lot slower than simply dropping so she should be fine. Want me to meet my boy before I get here, or should we wait till I'm really in town?' she asks, causing Cat to blink and sit up
'You're coming to National City? Why?'
'Metropolis is boring these days, I don't need to stay in one place to make my deals, plus blue boy wonder is starting to breathe down my neck and I want to get a fresh start, maybe even get to see my girl save some people and break things' the demon grins before shimmering out of the office, Cat groaning as she knows she's going to have to see that 'woman' a lot more often, even more so if she was going to meet Carter and try being part of his life
Later, that evening
Kara smiles as she gets to have a moment with her friends and family now Myriad was beaten, but the calm was broken by the near sonic boom of a falling craft. Kara, Astra and J'onn quickly sped out into the air trying to stop the damage from the crashing objects, having to split up when it turned out to be 2 of them. When they managed to get them to land they were surprised to see they were stasis pods, specifically Kryptonian escape pods.
The pod hisses as it slowly opens, both kryptonians gasp as they see the pod's occupant… their mother/sister Alura In-Ze.
TBC
Well this feels like one of those odd moments of mine, hope someone found some kind of interest and amusement from it. Also in case you're wondering why Lucy didn't tell Kara everything, she knows what she did when she found out Astra was still alive and had been in Fort Rozz in canon, she isn't going to go 'I'm your dad and you're half demon' without Alura there to take some of the blame/anger, she wasn't doing this alone.
Astra's glamoured form is inspired by Rebecca Mader, and what that means is Astra looked like Zelena from OUAT for a couple of days, and Alex has a proper gay panic (because before that she thought it was just 'Maybe it's just Astra, she is badass and sexy' but then she sees 'Zelena' and she's like 'Shit, maybe I am a lesbian')
Demon Livewire on the other hand has no inspiration, just me messing around.
The bit at the start, Google translated into Japanese 'Hear me being of the ether, I offer a pact with the lowest depths, my blood as seal of my intentions, answer my call and name your price'
Also 'Ukr' is from AstraDanvers, or at the very least it's where I found the word. It means father, or the equivalent, the mother equivalent being 'lieu'.
