Authors note: I plan on this being the last chapter…so hopefully I do not let any of you down in this. I do appreciate everything from you and the fan community for Supercorp. Supercorp is a very great ship and it is hard to say where the show will take that…if they even do…still we all stick to the ship so here we go…and we're off.

CH.10: I am Supergirl

"My name is Supergirl...as many of you know I come from the planet Kyrpton…however you may not know me for who I am when I am not in this costume…my true identity…it is…"

Kara struggles a bit on this last part. To reveal who she is…to everyone…not even Clark has done this. He operated in secrecy as Clark Kent till he was needed then he became the hero that Metropolis needed him to be, Superman. It was the same with her…and…she loved working at CatCo and having a bit of life to herself. It wasn't like she could be Supergirl all the time…how would she pay for groceries, not like she could live off people's hospitality forever. No, she had to have this life…two sides of a coin, she couldn't just be Kara Danvers without Supegirl…nor could she be Supergirl fulltime as it would drain her and very well keep her social life on a down low.

Lillian was recording and Cyborg Superman held her arms and any hesitancy or slip of her tongue and her arms would be broken. And given that bug was still inside her those broken arms would be set and there was no way she could save people without using that strength of hers. Far as she knew she was one of a few female superheroes out there defending those in need. Of course she had met Sara aka the White Canary and a few other kick butt females in her time saving the world.

She finds herself looking back at the building where she assumed that Lena had passed out from lack of oxygen and it pained her knowing she could not help her. The bug had sapped her of any strength to ward off Cyborg Superman's sneak attack and the Kryptonite blade no doubt fashioned the same as the one that killed her Aunt…had sliced her and she was bleeding out. It was a struggle to breathe and her head was quite heavy. Still what she noticed was Lena lying there…and then…her body was gone. Wait…gone?

"Lena…where is she?" Kara's own voice was hard to tell at this point as it felt dry and constricted.

"Well…she is no doubt dead at this point. Please now hurry up and reveal your secret to the world…I do not think people will want to watch their heroine bleed to death." Lillian remarks as she presses the blade against her again.

"If she is dead…I have no real reason to tell you. I would have thought you Luthors tend to stick to an ideal, a sense of trust in your word. Your daughter meant little to you and you put her up as bait knowing I would come. And yet you cared little for her fate so long as the Xenophobia of your ways was carried out…putting the people of National City in a state of alarm over who I am…well…I have a message for them.

"I am…Supergirl, and while revealing who I am to you without the costume is called for…it would also destroy the image and the figure you see before you. I would not be able to carry out my job and any normalcy my other life may have will be gone…I will be hunted daily and place any family I have made here or friends in constant risk, which I cannot allow. If I can keep people safe being who I was meant to be…I will continue to play that role. I will not let anyone bully me into saying otherwise. I am sorry if you are all hurt by this…but…sometimes the secret is worth keeping."

Lillian did not take this well as she goes to plunge the weapon into her shoulder sending pain shooting through her entire body. The bug seemed to flare up and she can hear the last thump or so of her heart struggling to keep up. Her eyes were bloodshot and she can taste her own blood. The flash of malevolence in the eyes of Lillian was close to her and she sees a figure float down holding the body of…no…it couldn't be…

"Sorry to interrupt…but…I believe you should see this." Lillian removes the blade with a swift fluid motion and as she turns around the look on her face was priceless…not that she could see. Cyborg Superman lets her go and she falls to the ground with a thud as any strength she had left and she feels her lids slip down heavily…and she doesn't move.

Clark stood in the building of the D.E.O. as he overheard the conversation between Lillian and Lena. Truth was he didn't wish for Kara to deal with someone like Lena, and, he had stuck around fearing the betrayal. And yet having heard the conversation and the fact that Lena was willing to go to great lengths to fix this whole mess…suffice to say he was convinced of her good nature.

Lena was set to leave…but…not before he stops her. "Lena…you love my cousin, don't you?" Clark can see her cheeks reddening a bit and she tucks her long hair behind her ear.

"Yes I do. I take it you overheard my conversation…and…you plan on stopping me right?" Clark had thought of stopping her…any means necessary…but he also realized now that doing so would put him at a greater distance now than he was with Kara. His comments and opinion were not popular and perhaps they were a bit based off what went down between him and Lex. Lena had to be given the benefit of the doubt…her path was not yet written…she could still turn things around for the Luthor name.

"I know you would do anything for Supergirl, well, Kara and I will not stop you. However I feel there are safer ways of going about your plan." Clark can see Lena regarding him scrupulously and he did not blame her.

"What are you getting at?" Lena was protective of Kara and wanted to do this on her own, but, at least she was open to reason.

Clark motions with his head and he leads the way to the main area of operations and fills J'onn in on what he had planned. Lena of course is hesitant about this plan.

"My name is J'onn or you can call me Hank if you prefer. And…seeing as this plan requires honesty." Clark smiles watching as Lena takes a step back as a mirror version of herself is on display.

"W-Wait…so…the person in charge of the D.E.O. is not even human?" Clark takes a seat and Lena does as well.

"All of this must be kept here Lena…if anyone should find out that J'onn is not the real Hank questions will be raised. For the time being it is vital that his secret be kept so the sanctity of the work done here will not be put into question. J'onn…show her the real you."

Clark can see his hesitancy to do so…yet…they need Lena to trust them in order for this to work. Long ago he had placed trust in Lex, not with his secret, but with a friendship that seemed ready to explode in on itself. So as J'onn goes to change into his Martian skin it is clear that this is taking a bit of a toll on Lena. Still…she seems to handle it a lot better than he thought she would. Learning all this in such a short time.

"I see…well…you are a lot taller than the cousins from Krypton. So…what is the plan again, just so I am clear." Lena leans forward and Clark can see she was being professional and level headed about this. Her life was after all on the line.

J'onn transforms back into Hank's shape and form and he takes a breath…no doubt transforming took a toll after a bit. "The plan is for me to go with you into that building…if things get a bit heated or your life is in danger…I will swap places with you. Superman should be nearby and depending how events play out…we stop Lillian and whatever her plan is."

Clark figured it was about as simple as they were going to get it. There were so many variables as it was going into this. One thing can still go wrong so they had to let Lillian do a lot of the heavy lifting, putting her cards on the table and for them to react accordingly. His only hope was that Kara not catch wind of this…or try anything drastic. However knowing his cousin…she might. So they may need a contingency plan for when that happens.

"We need to act now…if we keep Lillian waiting she will figure you for a no show. Kara should-." Clark then listens and as the television is turned on it is clear something is up.

"This just in…there is an attack happening at National City Royal Bank. There are gunmen inside, we have reports of at least three. They are demanding a large ransom in exchange for the hostages. I repeat-."

"This could not come at a worse time…with Supergirl out of it…who can-." Lena bowed her head and that is when someone clears their throat. Clark looks over and cracks a smile.

"You guys worry about the cure…we got this." Wynn stood there next to a man in costume with the face hidden from view…only the eyes showed. However Clark could already see who was under the costume and it was much like Kara had told him about. True he did not agree with it…but…he also figured there was potential there…some untapped potential as it were and given it was armed gunmen he could handle it.

"Very well…good luck…Guardian." Clark winks at the man and rising from his seat he makes for the exit with Lena confused and J'onn transforming into Lena.

Standing there as he was now before Lillian Luthor he could almost see Lex there. Lex had believed he was doing right…but…somewhere down the road that all changed. Lillian believed this world was better without the aliens in it…that they posed a threat. Clark was not about to say she wasn't entirely wrong, but, she was also not right…there were those like him and his cousin and J'onn here who did right…who looked out for the safety of those whose planet they lived on.

"What…how is that even possible? Supergirl saw her fall…her body should be ashes." Lillian was flabbergasted by things…and she should be.

"You'd go to great lengths to get Supergirl to reveal her secrets before everyone…when in fact…you have gone and show the world just how much of a monster you are. Lena…smile for your mother."

Lillian was about to tell him that was impossible and yet Lena stirs in his arms and she looks over at Lillian with a flash of disapproval before smiling. "Hello mother…you put on quite the caring conviction in your portrayal of a mother who cared…only to turn two faced in the end trying to burn me alive."

"Supergirl…she…wait…you were never-?" Lillian was fuming as her perfect plan seemed upended. What was more…she just realized she was still recording all this…if they did not see they were hearing the words of a woman who would burn her daughter to get one alien to out herself.

"Mother…I had originally intended to show myself, but, given what was at stake I had a bit of help. When the explosions went off I had…help…in ensuring that they take my place. I am shocked and outraged by this mother…and you shall pay dearly for it. The whole world knows your nefarious nature and they will not stop till you are apprehended and taken in as Lex was-."

"My dear boy…there will be a day he will see the light again and when he does…I will be at his side. Do not think this is the last of this…or the last of me…people will see just what monsters these aliens are…and you will be begging for my help then just as the day the Daxomites came and nearly conquered the world."

"Not if I stop you here and now-." Clark had heard enough and as he moves towards her she holds up the weapon and he falters.

"I would advise against such a move…lest you suffer the fate of your cousin. As it is I imagine due to her circumstances she may not be in this life for much longer. Think it over…come after me…or save her. Lena, you are a great disappointment in a daughter and next we meet…all bets are off. You are not worth the effort. Come Cyborg Superman…we are done here."

Clark tries to move but again that Kryptonite weapon makes it impossible to move. Once they leave he goes to Kara and sets Lena down. The two of them worry about her. However it is clear that Lena worries the most, her face streaming with tears and her hands in hers. This was genuine love…and…if it were Lois…he'd have taken the risk as well. He was not going to lose her…and…there only seemed one fix for this. "Lena…I need to take Kara…for a while…I'm not sure when we will return but trust me I will do all in my power to help her. Continue with your life as she would want it…guess this is goodbye for now."

"Where are you taking her?" Lena inquires as she doesn't wish to part…and…he doesn't blame her. Scooping her up in his arms he looks down at her pale face…no pulse what so ever.

"Somewhere you can't follow. C'mon Kara…time to fly." Clark then shoots up into the sky leaving Lena behind. He was sure that J'onn will be done healing soon and tend to her, but, for now it was up, up…and away.

Epilogue-Tomorrow shines brightest

On your smile

Lena worked as she normally did…whereabouts of her mother's activity was minimal and no one in National City had heard from her. Security had doubled where Lex was held…in case her mother tries to spring him. How long had it been now since Supergirl was declared missing? People were worried about Supergirl and held out hope that she would return. Metropolis was also concerned as Superman was also gone. The man and girl of steel were nowhere to be spotted. Guardian was pulling double duty it seemed as he alternated between National City and that of Metropolis.

The D.E.O. leant resources to a branch in Metropolis, a black ops Military group that seemed an off branch of this. J'onn had healed from his burns though he was unable to shift back and forth till the internal damage was healed. Lena worried constantly of Supergirl, well, Kara…one and the same right? Holding her hand she had felt no pulse and it was clear that Superman also came to the same conclusion. So…what was he doing that medicine could not? The bug inside could not be removed.

Hearing a knock she sits up and looks from her work and day dreaming and clears her throat. "Yes?" She hears the door open and she finds Wynn standing there.

"Wynn…what can I do for you?" She watches him as he walks in and he places a computer before her, at first she was going to ask…till she sees a message on it.

"Superman is returning to Metropolis…he…he has done all he can for Supergirl. He says she is resting…no telling though when she will return…I'm sorry…" Wynn seemed to have been crying but she was not one to point it out.

"Yes, well…he has done all he can. Superman has gone beyond all good measure in trying to save…the…the…woman I love…that I still love…and she will come back to me. I feel it deep down…this is not the end of her journey…I will not stop loving her…not now not ever. Is that all?"

Wynn nods his head but she can see her words have taken some effect on him…perhaps transferred some hope. Watching him leave she waits till the door is closed before breaking down. Her sobs wrack her body as she turns from the door as she holds herself. She didn't seem herself without Kara…and all that time that they had not been dating, that they were friends…it had cemented a bond that nothing could deter…but only make it ten times stronger.

"I miss you…so much Kara…and if only you can hear me…I meant every word I told Wynn…" Lena turns from the window and that is when she hears the rustle of something in the wind. Her heart was caught in her throat and she did not wish to turn around to just see the curtains moving.

"I heard you, loud and clear, and…I never stopped loving you as well." Lena bolts out of her chair and as she races out of the door leading to the outside patio area she throws herself into the arms of Supergirl standing there.

"I thought…where have you…what is going on?" Lena keeps her arms around her as she fears this maybe her just dreaming it all.

Supergirl hugs her back keeping her close and Lena can only imagine the smile on her lips. "Long story short…Superman took me to the yellow sun and enough of the heat managed to get rid of the bug allowing me to heal. I don't think the bug was meant to withstand that much of the heat. Suffice to say after that it was all a waiting game and when Superman felt I could heal on my own he left back for Metropolis…no doubt he had quite a lot of people to tell he was ok."

"You had me so worried…I thought…" Lena pulls back at arms-length as she looks at Kara, yes, Kara was standing here and her beauty shone like a sun rise.

"Yeah, I thought as well…and…I thought of all the regret I had going on to the next life. However something kept me from crossing over…and do you know what that was?" Kara runs her finger along her jaw and Lena looks up trying to keep from crying again.

"I have a feeling you are going to-." Lena is unable to say it as Kara kisses her on the lips. The two of them kiss for what seems forever…and if it were forever she would float away with her content for the rest of her life. No matter what happened next…she was never letting her go. She did not care for the dangers that lie ahead…only that at the end of it the two of them were in it together.

Kara finally breaks the kiss and smiles. "I had someone waiting for me…and…given the disappointments she has had in life…all the struggle and the success…that if I did not go back to her I would never be complete…that I would never find anyone as beautiful, smart, and caring as she was. You are my everything Lena…and starting from this day on…we face this world together, Super and a Luthor-."

"Supercorp has such a nicer ring to it wouldn't you say?" Lena winks at her and Kara cracks one of those smiles of hers.

"I see you have been thinking of a name for us, who knows, maybe it will stick." Kara then goes back to kissing her and Lena wouldn't have it any other way. True her mother was in the wind and no doubt planning her revenge, but, that day was not now and encircled in her lover's arms as they fly up…she holds her tight and melts in her smile and listening to the flutter of the red cape of love that keeps them safe.

THE END

Authors note: I made this chapter extra lengthy in order to give a proper ending to this story and give Supercorp fans something to feel positive about. So many movies out there with negative vibes on lesbian relationships and to be honest I feel there should be a better representation, and even on television if not death then turmoil is in store for them. Anyway hope your day is going well and that your future is as well. This does it for me so keep on shipping people…wherever that may take you.
