ALEX P.O.V.

"No," Lillian says firmly, I feel as though it is the final nail in my coffin. I can see how cold her eyes are, the ones that took enjoyment over the power she held over my father, the very same cold and calculated eyes that tormented my little sister for days.

My heart is beating steadily I'm sorry Kara… I watch as her knuckle starts to change in colour as she pulls. A red object hits the back of her head causing her to blink and flinch, I feel my reflexes going into action. I feel like everything is moving in slow motion, her finger tugging on the trigger in reaction while I whip my gun up when I see her eyes set on me, the second I had given to me got my gun level with her chest.

Both guns go off and I feel pain slam into my left side of the chest, my body jerks and I feel my legs move out from under me due to the force and I watch her go down as well. My back slams into the cold floor and I feel my heart beating slower as I groan and gasp, my vision is hazy and the dots have returned. I stare up at the ceiling and take a shuddering breath as I reach my hand up instinctively to where I was hit. Oh no… no… please no I feel a burning sensation where it hit and then I watch as Superman's face comes into view.

I don't think I've ever seen him this worried, his hair is a mess and he has blood coming out of his side under the arm, I feel his hand touch my right cheek he's warm and then I watch his free hand go to my chest. I cringe and close my eyes for a moment as I deal with the numbness following through my left side from the hit.

Opening my eyes I look at him and see green, I look down at myself and see green coming from my chest, gasping I open up my tactical vest and rest my head back onto the cool steel floor to see relief wash over his face. He smiles at me before giving a soft chuckle.

"You are something else Alex Danvers," Superman says and helps me into sitting up, my left side still feeling numb from the impact and legs feeling shaky from the ordeal. The idea that Lillian almost killed me still fresh in my mind wait… Lillian! My eyes lock onto her still form on the floor, I take a slow deep breath as Superman lifts me into standing and I stare at her.

I can see from her eyes that she is gone, there's too much red pooling out from under her, I shot her in the center of her chest, right in the heart. I feel my veins run cold at the realization.

I just killed Lillian Luthor I wet my lips as my brain takes it in, I turn my head to look at Superman and see the same look on his face. The shock before he looks at me and he takes a set of cuffs off from the back of my belt to slap them onto the unconscious Hank Henshaw. I find myself staring at her, willing my mind to recognize it.

"I killed her," I finally whisper and I can feel his eyes on me. She hurt Kara… so badly… and she was going to come after her again. I know it… my mind brings back the memory of Kara on the floor and I feel tears brim my eyes you hurt my little sister! I feel a brief wave of anger wash over me but quickly feel my veins run cold again as I think back to hearing Lillian say the definitive No. My seconds were counting down and Clark… "I thought I was done for… but you gave me a second and-"

"Alex?" Superman says and I turn my attention to him, looking at him with disbelief in my eyes. "Let's get you home to Kara," he walks over and scoops me into his arms, showing me that the bullet isn't affecting him enough. His eyes still on me and a seriousness to them, "I would much rather have you in this world than her."
