Half God, Half Devil - Chapter 5

Tags: Half smut, half emotions. Lex uses an amped up red kryptonite on Red K Kara. Leads to rough sex and then devastating outcomes -  but there's a happy ending, so buckle in if you're going to take the ride. 

I will also say this chapter is discretion strongly advised: Red K Kara is sexually selfish in this chapter. The sex acts are consensual, but because of the circumstances and some descriptions, I'll label it as dub-con. There's a lot of loving and emotional content before the end, but not when Red K Kara is off her face on the Red K. If you're sensitive to certain content, best to avoid.

The low dosage of Red K went through Kara like electric through a circuit board, powering up her inner mechanism for violence and rage, but just enough to launch her out of bed in pursuit of Lena’s armored robot.

From where it hovered in close range, the bot locked onto its target and released its hand cannon. Kara hurtled towards the danger, taking the hit in a dead-on impact rather than letting it reach Lena. Even with her cape flung out like a shield, it was a hard blow that knocked her out of the air.

Lena rushed to the balcony where Kara dropped to her knees on the concrete.

“Go back inside,” Kara huffed with a strenuous breath, her head barely lifting and the tendons in her neck pulling taut. “It’s not safe, Lena.”

It was in seeing Kara contort in anguish that Lena assessed there was trace amounts of Kryptonite in the cannon.

“No, this is Kryptonite, I have to help you!” Lena argued with high pitched panic in her voice as the pallor of Kara’s face changed to neon green. She was so distracted by that she never saw the other robotic peace enforcers encircling all around them or the one Lexo-suit that stood out in the crowd.

“Isn’t it funny that even at your darkest, you still cling to your pathetic idealism and desire to save others?” Lex mocked her from the air above and shoved a long needle into Lena’s neck while her attention was still on Kara.

She didn’t even get to talk back, because her knees buckled under her and she collapsed beside the heavy breathing, enraged alpha.

Being deep in a drugged sleep was very unlike normal sleep and Lena’s awareness of the world ceased to be.

If she was awake, she would have witnessed her brother as he subdued Kara with chains and used her robots to transport them to L-Corp, where her lab was designed with the containment capabilities he required.

Lena would have seen that the Kara and Lena who resided on Earth Prime were already in one of the expandable cell units. In regaining consciousness, Lena noticed them first and that she was alone in her own unit.

Her alpha was gone, and judging by the looks of it, Supergirl of Earth Prime was in a Kryptonite recovery suit.

“Oh goodie. Your wicked witch look-alike has finally woken up!” Lex called out to his Earth Prime sister and then approached Lena’s cage with a pleased smile on his face. “Or perhaps, due to your particular anatomy, you’re the Tin Man. Heartless.”

“In that case, you’re a munchkin. The bald one who sings at the beginning of the movie.” Lena’s deadpan expression helped to serve the insult up cold, and based on how Lex’s laughter turned to a snarl, it was clear she had gotten under his skin.

She knew better than to piss any version of Lex off when she was in such a helpless position, but it gave her comfort when dealing with his cruelty. It was a brief comfort, because two of Lex’s thugs entered the room with her Kara. Under the circumstances, Lena would have guessed that Kara had made a deal with Lex, but there was a different tint to her skin now and she moved with an arrogance in her stride.

“What did you do?” Lena whispered, her voice soft, but full of venom as she questioned Lex. “What the hell are you doing to her?”

“Have you ever seen a rabid dog, Lena?” Lex asked rhetorically and paced in front of her cell as he explained his maniacal plot. “It’s impossible to control a rabid dog, but this situation is quite different. We have a dog who will do just as master commands, when and if I say so.” He snapped his fingers for his men to let Kara go, though she jerked out of their grip before they fully relinquished their hold on her.

Kara stalked over to Lena’s cage and Lena shrank back as she smelled the alpha’s pheromones and how thoroughly they had changed. Gone was the fragrance of loyalty and devotion, and in its place was the out-of-control scent of greed — a destructive and romantically ruinous pheromone that wanted to take, bend and break her.

Lena moved as far as she could from the reek of it and saw that her counterpart from Earth Prime was equally distracted by the wretched smell.

Lex was bragging for his own benefit, but his speech had sparked curiosity. “I’ve supercharged your Kara with Red Kryptonite. She is everything that I hoped Red Daughter would be.”

“Who’s Red Daughter?” Prime Lena asked, her eyebrows knitted together in confusion as she came to the front of her prison with courage to engage with Lex.

“That’s unimportant, but what is important is that I now have the greatest weapon at my disposal. I intend to make her tear the city apart. It will be my magnum opus, at least until I use her to take down Superman.” Lex’s egotistical lecture would have continued, if not for how Kara elbowed one of his goons in the head.

“Bad dog,” Lex reprimanded and beckoned over a few more of his goons to carry off the one who was writhing on the floor. “You mustn’t hurt my helpers, or you won’t get your treat at the end of all this.”

Lena narrowed her eyes in wariness at Lex and wondered what he had offered Kara in exchange for the whole of the city. She figured it out when she saw that the Kryptonite barriers were up around the perimeter of her cell, and as Kara raged, “She’s mine and you will give her to me!”

The situation became all the more dire when another of Lex’s thugs began pumping more Red Kryptonite in Kara’s face.

Lena watched in appalled terror as she screamed, “Stop it! Too much of that could kill her!”

“In this case, the cliché is what doesn’t kill her makes her stronger.” Lex followed up his remark by opening up a screen on the wall and affixing a micro camera to Kara’s suit. “Now we can all observe your progress. Your first task is to destroy city hall and all of the buildings on my list. Once you’ve completed your duties, I’ll give you access to not one, but two Lena’s.”

Kara’s solemn and tight-lipped facial expression was unsettling to behold, and as she flew off, Lena experienced a dread so severe that she felt like she could double over from it. Not that she would ever allow herself to show such weakness in Lex’s presence, nor any emotion save for disgust. She sneered at the man who wasn’t her actual brother — not the one who had tortured her on the brink of death, but still Lex through and through.

“This reminds me of when we were children and you used me to do your bidding just to see how much control you could have over another life,” Lena whispered, her tone deceptive and calm and her mannerisms steady. She waved her hand without shaking at all. “I won’t let you use Kara the same way. You might think you’re a puppet master pulling strings, but they’ll be cut the minute I’m reunited with her.”

Lex guffawed over her quiet assertions and signaled his men to transfer the Lena of Earth Prime into the same cage.

“The wonderful thing about the Red K is how it twists emotion,” Lex began to lecture, standing idly by as his own sister began fighting against his goons, trying to bite and kick herself free. “I’d save your energy if I was the two of you. The fact of the matter is that I’ve weaponized Kara’s love for you and I’ve turned it into something much more sinister. I doubt she’s going to cuddle up to you when she returns, but whatever happens, I won’t be around to see it. Hopefully one of you will still be standing afterwards, otherwise I might have to make use of that silly fifth dimensional imp to find a replacement toy for the Kryptonian.”

The goons shoved Earth Prime Lena into the same cell, and she had no parting words to exchange with her brother, not when her Supergirl was ailing just a few feet away. She hurried to the corner that was closest to her alpha and her fingers twitched like she was already thinking of how to break out of her perfect jail cell.

On the screen above them, Lena saw her Kryptonian demolish the statues in front of the town hall, crumbling them into dust as the people of National City screamed and fled.

“I’ll be back soon to give Supergirl her just rewards.” Lex headed for the elevator and his goons exited to the hall, affording them a private screening of Red K Kara wrecking a whole block with her thunderclap.

“I should have known Lex would have a contingency plan ready and waiting for the moment I turned against him.” Lena of Earth Prime cast a forlorn glance at the screen, like she blamed herself for not assuming Lex would have a failsafe in case she betrayed him. “His goons helped him escape.”

If Lena ever wasted time on regret, she might have thought about ways she could have thwarted Lex, like killing him after her arrival instead of confining him at the DEO. But after spending more than a year as a living experiment, Lena no longer assigned self-blame because it was a way of making herself hurt twice and it was bad enough that others had hurt her. She wouldn’t add to the torment with thoughts about what she could have done differently to prevent it.

Lena cleared out all of the negative emotions inside of herself to make space for the only productive one — cold determination.

“When you get out of here, you might want to think about forgiving Kara and getting on with your life,” Lena husked, her eyes still riveted to the screen, but her recommendations directed towards her other self, who was focused on Supergirl’s vitals and tracking them for any sign of improvement. “So what if she lied to you? Kara reeks of apology every time she’s around you. All she wants is to get back into your good graces again, and you actually chose to work with your deranged brother instead of someone who has been groveling at your feet all day, desperate to make it up to you.”

For as dispassionate and unemotional as she was trying to seem, Lena raised her voice and the vein in her temple throbbed. She stared at the person who shared her face, but had little else in common with her.

Lena stopped herself from blinking in case she was too soft and her tears welled before she could stop them. “You’re someone who has never had enough love in her life, so you can’t afford to put up these walls to keep any of it out.”

This might not have been the best time to impart wisdom on her look alike, but the Lena of Earth Prime nodded and Lena recognized true understanding and sadness in the mirror glass of her eyes.

“Do you have a plan to get us all out of here?” Earth Prime Lena muttered, her lips still moving after she spoke as an indication that she was nervous and might have more to say.

“I do,” Lena muttered. “Just let me take the lead.”

A plan was slow forming in Lena’s mind, and parts of it were obscured by the unpredictability of how the Red K would affect Kara’s behavior, but she had the basics worked out when the elevator dinged again and Lex entered the lab.

Supergirl’s tour of downtown was taking less time than Lena guessed, and she knew within short order, her alpha would be back with them and demanding entry to the cell that was holding her and Earth Prime Lena.

The sound of boots scudding along the corridor and a bright flash of rippling cape proved Lena’s estimates to be accurate. Supergirl stood poised to threaten Lex into holding up his end of their bargain.

“Now that you’ve taken care of business, I believe I owe you what I promised,” Lex mused and wandered over to the special controls he had locked with his own new codes. “Step a little closer to the Kryptonite barrier and I’ll take it down.”

Supergirl snarled in distrust, her brows furrowed despite how she followed Lex’s instructions.

He hit a button to bring up another barrier around her and lowered the wall that blocked Supergirl from her hard-won desserts.

Lex didn’t stick around to taunt them. He left with the rest of his goons before he witnessed anything too unsavory.

Lena could only imagine the type of press conference he was going to hold, vouching to rid the world of the harmful aliens with his Shiny New Toy when he was the biggest threat to humanity.

“Kara,” Lena whispered, her voice catching in the back of her throat as she noticed the jagged lines etched across the alpha’s hands. At first, she mistook them for wounds, serrated and pulsing from the havoc Kara wreaked, but that wasn’t blood on the Kryptonian’s fingers. The lines burned brightly all the way up her neck and face.

Kara looked fragmented, her skin coming apart even though it was perfectly intact.

“Did you miss me?” Kara asked through a smirk, her arrogance untouchable as she infused the air with claim pheromones in the expectation that Lena would submit to her completely.

When Lena didn’t immediately bow to her demands, Kara strode forward with a snarl, and the iris of her eyes glowed a startling and vibrant red as if in warning.

“What, you don’t like me anymore?” Kara scoffed, backing Lena into the wall with a hand around her throat as she pressed, “Are you scared?”

Lena supposed she should have been when faced with an angry god that would like nothing more than to see everyone worship at her feet. Fear would be an appropriate reaction, but that wasn’t the emotion that seized her heart. All she felt was determination.

If there was any trace of Kara still in there, then Lena would have to pull her out by any means necessary, and she would have to do it fast because the alpha’s patience was dwindling.

“You tell me,” Lena muttered dryly and held Kara’s gaze with a snide smile as she palmed the stiff length of her cock. “Do I seem scared?”

As powerful as the alpha was, Kara would always be weak when it came to Lena’s cunt, and she used her omega to cloud Kara’s senses with the alluring perfume of her heat. She could use Kara’s claim to her advantage, and reasoned that the easiest way to subdue Kara would be through sex and flattering her ego.

Even when Lena had been adamant at shielding herself from emotions, fucking Kara had proven that their connection was too powerful for either of them to ignore. Lena was counting on that to stay true as she unzipped Kara’s pants and pushed her hand into the tight fabric to stroke her cock.

“Lex has no idea the power you have, but I do,” Lena confided, coiling her fingers around the rigid girth to pump her hand over it. “That show was all for me, wasn’t it, Kara?”

“I bet it made you wet,” Kara bragged, her corrupted eyes half-lidded as she huffed the heat pheromones straight off of Lena’s neck. She growled against her throat, nipping at the claim hard enough to make Lena hiss.

“You won’t be needing these,” Kara informed her as she all but ripped Lena out of her clothes to leave them scattered in torn pieces at their feet.

Lena had to swallow back the vulnerability of being suddenly exposed in front of her other self, the broken pieces of her body on full display as Kara gripped at her tits and ass with rough hands. Out of Lena’s peripheral vision she could see Prime Lena staring at them, but the other omega knew better than to intervene. This was the only way to keep Kara’s full attention.

To avoid the scandalized horror in Prime Lena’s eyes, she sank onto her knees in a docile pose and brought her lips to Kara’s cock. She pumped her hand in coordinated time with the slow tug of her mouth and Kara pulled at her hair to keep her place as they fed off of each other’s sexual zeal.

Kara backed off to sit in a chair just to watch her crawl forward and Lena did it with an attitude of confidence. Her long hair tickled at Kara’s thighs as she slurped with abandon, not as self-conscious as she should have been about sucking cock in a situation that could have devolved into disaster.

She moaned in enjoyment from swallowing Kara’s taste and ignored all of her pessimistic concerns that her love for Kara would fall short and in turn fail them all.

“Was it worth wiping out an entire city block just to fuck me?” Lena asked with a sharp intake of breath that helped as she pushed Kara’s thick cock tonsil-deep in her throat. “I know you hate it when I mock you, so you’d better fill my mouth with your come if you don’t want me to talk.”

Giving prolonged oral pleasure was going to keep Kara occupied and Lena would make the sex so incredible that the alpha would knot. Immobilizing Kara until the influence of the Red wore off was essential to the success of her plan.

Lena expected Kara to forcefully fuck her throat and loosened her jaw in readiness for it, but the alpha had other ideas and gathered Lena’s dark hair in a fist.

Kara pulled her mouth off her cock with a rough tug, forcing Lena’s head back to bare her neck as she leaned forward to gloat, “I’d turn this whole city to ash just to get to you. No one is ever going to keep us apart.”

The chilling revelation would have sickened a saner individual and it should have disturbed Lena to hear it—except it spoke to the damaged and destructive part of her that longed for someone, anyone, to choose her above all else. The implication that Kara was already plotting to kill Lex was just an added bonus, and Lena moaned at the very visceral reaction it stirred within her.

“You really would, wouldn’t you?” Lena uttered, so dangerously close to being seduced by the madness taking hold of Kara. Warm slick trickled from her cunt, heady and alluring, and she held Kara’s demanding gaze as she tore herself free of her grip to gorge on the straining cock poised for her lips.

Red veins throbbed for Lena’s attention and she groaned as she lavished each one with the tender caress of her tongue. She gave into the urge to worship with the belief that she could rein herself in when the time called for it. For now, she wanted to sate the part of her soul that connected with this deranged side of the alpha.

“Look at me as you suck my cock,” Kara commanded and gripped at the back of Lena’s head to force her solid length all the way into her throat. “I want to see how much you enjoy having a full mouth.”

Lena obeyed, stuffing her throat so ardently that she gagged and drooled while Kara watched her debase herself. She knew the alpha liked it from how hard her cock was and the faster Lena pumped her lips over the broad tip, the rougher Kara bucked her hips to get back into the constricting warmth beyond her tongue.

The atmosphere between them was charged with sexual greed and Lena counted on it to keep Kara riveted. She moaned as she sucked, swallowing Kara’s length with aggressive determination despite the way her lungs burned for air.

“Yeah, you like it when I fuck your mouth,” Kara groaned, the lustful scent of her pheromones as potent as her claim ones. She held Lena’s head down to piston her hips, taking what she wanted without regard for Lena’s need to breathe as her pleasure climbed.

It was small things like that which hammered home that this Kara wasn’t hers, because no matter how selfish the alpha was in the past, she had cared about Lena’s wellbeing.

The high dose of Red Kryptonite circulated faster underneath Kara’s skin, incandescent and poisonous. Lena coughed and sputtered when Kara slackened the hold on her, and she took a brief respite before they went at it again.

Her moan stuck in the back of her throat, contained by the obstruction of Kara’s thrusting cock. She puckered her satin lips with fierce persistence, lasting as long as it took for warm seed to pour out over her tongue.

“Fuck, Lena, swallow it all,” Kara groaned, her hoarse noises resounding through the lab.

Lena bent forward to seal her mouth around Kara’s erection, receding just a tad until it was all over and she could sit up. Her chin glistened and she cleaned herself with a wipe of her lips.

While she could have used a few minutes to recuperate, the first orgasm had Kara raring to go. She scarcely caught her breath when Kara lifted her and spread her out prone on one of the examination cots.

Lena was considering the lay-out of the lab and how she could reach the controls that unlocked the cells—but her focus crumbled around the edges like burning paper, no match for the heat as Kara began licking at her pussy.

Kara’s mouth enveloped her, tongue sliding between her folds to work at her clit. “You have such a wet little cunt. So aroused and begging for my knot already.”

The arrogance of the alpha still riled Lena’s omega, and the precise glide of her tongue sped up her heart. Though she was loath to admit that it wasn’t entirely her heat that kept her cunt so slick, she had to feed Kara’s ego if she was hoping to make her knot. The sooner it happened, the safer they would all be, and that meant taking a few calculated risks.

“Well, are you just going to sit there and brag about it, or are you going to use my cunt?” Lena taunted with a dismissive flick of her lashes and pointedly glanced at the alpha’s cock. “Unless I drained you.”

The mere suggestion that Kara wasn’t ready to fuck her antagonized the alpha and she snarled at the perceived insult.

“Someone needs to be reminded of my stamina,” Kara growled, and flipped Lena onto her front so fast that it winded her. She pinned Lena to the thin mattress with her forearm as she mounted her from behind, and the broad tip of her cock forced Lena’s clenching walls to spread.

Lena’s breathy moan was real, and it raised in pitch when Kara bottomed out with a rough slam that shook the whole cot.

She whined when Kara’s tongue followed the band of the titanium collar around her throat, and her inner muscles clenching in waves as her omega pleaded to be put in her place.

Her deprived and wanton scent pleaded with her alpha, and Kara responded by dragging her teeth across her claim as she fucked her with supernatural speed.

Kara pushed at Lena’s thighs until her knees were tucked under her torso and her cunt was on full view. “Your body is crying out to me because it knows I’m the only one worthy to fuck you while in heat.”

“That’s rich, considering there’s another Supergirl right next to us.” Lena muffled her retort in the bedsheets, but she still sensed that she would be on the receiving end of some punishment for any sauciness.

Kara didn’t disappoint as she smacked Lena’s ass with reprimanding, open palms. She squeezed each cheek until her handprints remained and then used two fingers to rub into Lena’s clit just to intensify her responsive inner tension.

“I maintain what I said, I’m the only one worthy,” Kara huffed with arrogance and put a heavy hand on the back of her neck to force her face down. “You’re going to take my knot and the life that comes with it so you don’t ever forget.”

Lena’s cunt gripped at Kara’s shaft with shameful clenches, encouraging the knot to form with the idea of trapping it. The imposing knot spread her much deeper and Kara was brazen about thrusting it into Lena’s tight opening. She hissed when Kara refused to let it take hold.

Lena clawed at the bed as she surrendered to the burning pressure of the massive knot. She opened her mouth in a quiet cry that broke on her tongue and her omega exulted as an orgasm shook through her.

Extreme satisfaction melted her into the bed as Kara pushed the knot all the way in and pumped her with seed. Her inner muscles went wild with fluttering, and she blacked out from the full sensation in her belly.

She was already exhausted, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Earth Prime Lena was still scrambling to break through her own security system and Prime Kara was still unconscious and in Kryptonite recovery.

“It’s time for me to break you in, Lena.” Kara gripped at her curves, and internally her pelvis tightened at the sound of that.

Logically it was a terrible idea and yet her cunt wanted Kara’s training. Her heat was affecting her ability to be clearheaded when it would have been more prudent to plead or attempt to get through to Kara another way.

“Are you sure you’re up to it, or did you want to cuddle first?” Lena mocked, too outspoken for her own good.

Through the last rough years, she had relied on her sharp tongue for self-defense, building it up alongside her ambivalence for life in general. She often felt invincible when she cut others down with her words, which in some case had been her only weapons against her cruel family. The issue in this case was that she was dealing with someone who was actually invincible, who could crumble her like a paper bag if the mood struck. There was no reason to believe that she would be spared, except she trusted in Kara’s love and proven loyalty.

Even when taunted, Kara chose not to hurt her, and the red flow of the Kryptonite in her veins becoming fainter with the passing hour. It meant that her own altered concoction of the red Kryptonite was working, and that Kara’s body was actively purging the excess levels of the poison out of her. If they continued, Kara would likely sweat the rest out like a toxin, and Lena would finally get her alpha back.

“Let me show you just how ready I am.” Kara growled to make Lena tremble, but it must have been more for show than intimidation.

Lena reached back to loop her arm over Kara and kiss her as they resumed their passionate rutting. Their lips brushed and then strayed, not quite connecting as their breath mingled.

Kara went slow, rocking into her pussy without the haste of before, and Lena flexed her hips and back with a perfect cadence.

“Nothing in this universe matters more to me than you.” Kara moaned, quieter and softer as she glanced between their bodies and pulled out to reduce the knot. “I just can’t get enough, Lena.”

Traces of runny seed clung to Lena’s pussy lips and Kara slid the tip of her cock over it before pushing it back inside.

“Then fight for me,” Lena whispered in desperation as her cunt tensed around the warm and thick presence. She could sense a change in Kara and smelled it in her pheromones as her mate held her at the neck to bring their faces close together.

The corruption began to fade as Lena used the silken embrace of her cunt to remind Kara of their connection.

“Lena,” Kara muttered, her eyes as crystal clear and peaceful as the waters of a private beach.

This was the alpha Lena had come to love, the one that no amount of red Kryptonite could erase, and emotion constricted her chest when she noticed an opening air duct in the ceiling.

Plumes of red Kryptonite filtered into the lab and Lena grabbed at Kara’s face in blind panic. “No, no, that bastard can’t have you. Stay with me. We can get out of here.”

Lena’s fingers curled into Kara’s blonde hair as hopelessness and rage dueled within her soul. She bit back tears as the red tide dragged her mate under, and she whined as the tenderness they shared came to an end with the impact of Kara’s hips shoving her harder into the bed.

Kara’s eyes became permanent luminous voids and her face looked scarred with red veins.

“Why would I ever leave when I have everything I want right here?” Kara brought her lips to the erratic pulse of Lena’s throat in a way that made it seem like she enjoyed her misery.

Kara sucked on Lena’s claim with vicious intent and then moved on to mark Lena’s flawless throat in other places. It left her with a new burning collar to match the titanium wrapped around her throat.

She was convinced that this was what she deserved after her hostile takeover of National City in her own timeline. People like her didn’t get second chances and they certainly weren’t supposed to be loved.

No matter how brief, the fact that she had been loved went against everything her world had taught her. Lena would just have to harden her heart again and reinforce it with all of the agony at getting a glimpse of what could have been. There was no way to keep up with Kara with the vapors of red Kryptonite periodically filling up the lab.

Pleasure tasted bitter on Lena’s tongue, though her body begged for it with wet convulsions around Kara’s cock. Her instinct for self-preservation was nowhere to be found as she bared her neck and Kara subdued her with growls.

“Stop,” Prime Lena cried and pulled at Kara’s shoulder with all her limited upper arm strength. “She can’t take anymore! Have me instead.”

Kara reared up from the bed and turned to Prime Lena with aggression.

Lena curled on the cot, much too worn out to raise her head or disrupt what was playing out in front of her.

The room blinked out of focus, and when it came back, Prime Lena was naked, down on her knees and presenting. She spread her rosy inner lips with her hands, spasming at the center under Kara’s watch. The long drape of Lena’s hair swished over her arms as she contorted them beneath her weight.

Kara entered her from behind with savage low lunges and Lena shivered at the percussive smack of their bodies. Prime Lena was grunting and her breasts hung into Kara’s open and grasping palms.

Kara’s gaze locked with Lena’s, heavy and possessive as she swung her hips to force longer, keening moans out of Prime Lena. Even in her madness, Kara was drawn to her and the pitiful scent of Lena’s omega called to her mate despite her need for rest.

Perhaps the potency of her heat was the driving force behind Kara’s relentless pursuit of satisfaction. Lena blamed herself regardless as she closed her eyes to the labored groans of her alpha nearing climax, the muscles of her cunt convulsing in response.

When she next looked over, Kara was standing with Prime Lena’s legs draped over her arms. The smooth glide of her thick cock plunged upward to spread Prime Lena’s ravaged cunt mercilessly. Seed and slick stained their thighs, and Prime Lena whimpered in submission when Kara latched onto her shoulder with teeth.

As Prime Lena’s energy was sapped by another orgasm, Kara dropped her onto her knees to use her mouth. She took what she wanted with a hand entwined in Prime Lena’s hair, and the omega moaned and wrapped her lips around the rigid intrusion.

Kara wasn’t watching her obediently sucking. She was staring at Lena again, pinning her to the cot with sexually aggressive scents that let Lena know she was thinking only of her. It was chaotically reaffirming to have Kara so infatuated with her that even other versions of herself weren’t good enough.

Prime Lena choked and coughed when Kara came in her mouth, and the alpha was set to continue as she eye-fucked Lena across the lab.

There was no way they could endure such intense mating from an inexhaustible alpha, and Lena pushed herself into an upright position when Prime Lena whined for release.

Nothing would stop such a super-powered being under the current conditions, and as Kara flew at her with every intention of continuing what they had begun, Lena opened the protective layer on her Kryptonite tank. She possessed a finite amount, and it would disable a Kryptonian, even if it also depleted her to the point of no return. The situation was too dire to second guess herself.

Kara appeared enraged and attempted to wrestle the cover back onto her. “No! No, don’t you dare! Lena, I need you.”

The first blast of Kryptonite hit straight to the chest, and they both crumbled onto the floor as the green substance continued to radiate.

“I love you,” Lena whispered, holding onto Kara as she realized that the dose of green Kryptonite was just enough to knock out the Kryptonian’s extraordinary power. She rubbed a hand over Kara’s solid back, comforting her even as the Kryptonite pulsed through her veins.

Vivid reds became sickly greens and Kara’s pallor changed as the anger within her drained. She clung to Lena, her mind unfogged by the searing ache that ravaged her body, and opened her mouth in an anguished cry that had nothing to do with the physical pain.

A bond like theirs was never meant to be broken, and Lena knew even then that she would do it again, a thousand times over if it meant she saved Kara in the process. “I love you more than strawberry ice cream and science and a thousand Sunday afternoons spent reading in the rain. You gave me my heart back, Kara. You fixed me.”

A tear dripped down her nose and she felt her limbs seize, the last of the Kryptonite gone too soon. Her eyes remained open, focused on Kara’s crying and screaming face.

                       ________________________________________________________

The blinding light of lasers lit up the lab when Kara screamed at the barrier, hysterical in her weakened state when it refused to break. She gathered her mate into her arms and yelled unintelligibly while Prime Lena reeled over the terrifying experience of seeing herself die in Kara’s arms.

Lena would have stood there numbly in a fugue state had her own Kara not responded to the wailing and broken free of her Kryptonian recovery suit. It was like Lena’s death prompted Kara to do the impossible and she acted even more crazed than the version of herself who was heavily afflicted by the Red Kryptonite.

“Lena!” Kara shouted and broke through every obstacle just to get to them, trashing the lab as Alex and the rest of their friends arrived in time to witness the destruction.

Events unfolded fast after that: her Kara handled Lex and all of his well-paid help and Alex took the grieving and infected alpha into another lab to begin administering the antidote.

Lena launched herself back into her clothes and hurried to help the broken woman on the floor with the same face as her.

“I’m not giving up on you,” Lena fiercely whispered as she readied a sterile medical bay and a heart she had experimented on with several courses of Harun-El.

Alex sent in a team to assist Lena without even fighting her on it first. They were all shaken by the death, and Lena wasn’t surprised to find out that they had to administer a sedative to the younger Kara, who was so inconsolable her first priority had been to run into the vault where they kept the Kryptonite.

Hours later, after painstakingly removing every piece of shrapnel and shard of depleted Kryptonite from the other Lena’s chest, Lena found out they had strapped the younger Kara to a gurney with sunlamps attached to it.

The surgery was grueling, and if not for the heart being subjected to so many rounds of the Harun-El, it likely wouldn’t have worked.

“She’s still in a critical state, but getting stronger every minute,” Lena informed the others, who crowded around the operating theater.

Her patient’s eyelids fluttered as heart beat became stronger and Lena pumped medicine through her IV and monitored her by the minute.

Upon awakening, Lena from the other timeline reached out to grab her hand. Lena was startled by it, but reciprocated the tender gesture and tamped down all of her awkward feelings about giving herself comfort. She knew what the other Lena needed and sat by her side until she was sleeping in peace.

Kara poked her head through the door a few hours later with a face full of guilt and a vase of flowers to place next to the bed.

“I was hoping we could talk?” Kara whispered and Lena allowed it because all of her patient’s vitals had stabilized and she felt reasonably certain they would remain that way.

She stepped out of the medical area and into the main lab, where she rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands again. It was unnecessary, but it gave her an excuse to keep her back to Kara as she wondered how much the alpha had seen of what transpired just hours ago.

“I don’t know where to begin,” Kara admitted with a deep sigh that chilled the air and tingled down Lena’s back. “Maybe with an apology, since I started all of this with a fifth dimensional imp who helped me look for a world where you wouldn’t hate me for keeping my secret from you. Where we could be together and happy.”

“That’s every world,” Lena replied and swung around to raise her eyebrow and pout her bottom lip. “We’re better when we’re together, Kara. I thought the arrival of my darkest self would show me that I should have just given in to my Luthor genetics all along, but instead it’s proven something else to me. Although my feelings are complex and at times, I can be very misguided in my idealism, all I want is to love and be loved in return. By everyone, but especially you.”

Kara hung her head as she stepped forward, her teeth worrying her lower lip as she accepted the truth of the statement. There was no knee jerk deflection or defensive pheromones this time, just humility in the form of a repentant alpha.

“I’ve been so blinded by my fear and this belief that being with you would put you in danger.  I failed to realize keeping us apart was causing us the most damage,” Kara acknowledged and closed the gap between them as she picked at the webbed fabric of her Super suit that laced between her fingers in nervousness. “There will always be some kind of threat out there, but I’d rather face it with you than go another second without you at my side. Protecting you should have never resulted in hurting you, Lena. Loving you shouldn’t have meant isolating you.”

Lena’s lip trembled imperceptibly as she sucked in a breath, yet the tremor went straight through her, awakening a longing so deep that her omega clawed its way to the surface. She couldn’t speak, couldn’t make the weight of her tongue move as the rising emotion limited her vocabulary.

Kara didn’t seem to mind and took another step forward so that they were so close Lena could feel her breath when she spoke. “I know it’s selfish to ask for your forgiveness, but if I’ve learned anything from my other self, it’s that being a little selfish isn’t such a bad thing. I want you Lena, as my best friend, as my mate, as the person I come home to every night to share every detail of my day with no matter how exciting or dull. I’ll do whatever it takes to get that.”

Lena nodded and opened her arms to Kara and they embraced like they always had as friends, although now they were so much more to each other.

The Red Kryptonite cleared from Kara’s system in the middle of the night, and she wailed afterwards with Alex at her side. She was too afraid to go and check on Lena, both her mate and the other omega she had ravaged. The pain of remembering her every deed was too overwhelming and Kara became listless and unable to move after a lot of crying.

Her bravery returned with her physical strength, and when she was able to stand up on her own again, she decided to seek out her mate. Lena was awake and having breakfast with her counterpart, and Kara halted in the door as she looked at their identical faces.

“I hurt you both and I’m so — I’m so sorry,” Kara cried, shuddering all over from her chin down to her limbs.

Prime Lena set her teacup down and approached her. “You were under the influence of Red Kryptonite – a variety that Lex altered to make it even more potent and fast acting. Now I know why he compared you to a rabid dog.”

Kara’s mind had been altered by the Kryptonite in her body, but she still felt immeasurable guilt for her actions. She stared down at her black boots and didn’t lift her head again until her mate demanded attention with her scent.

Prime Lena exited the room after softly grasping at her shoulder, and then Kara stumbled forward to sink onto her knees at the feet of her omega.

She was supposed to be the hero, the one to sacrifice herself for the greater good, and yet it was Lena who saved her. Lena who had died in her arms with nothing but love on her lips, and Kara reeled from the trauma of that.

There was no elegance to the way she flung her arms around Lena’s legs — only shame as she buried her face into the hospital gown that soaked with her tears. “You were gone, you were gone and I couldn’t — I couldn’t save you.”

“Look at me Kara,” Lena instructed, only to cup Kara’s chin when it became apparent that she couldn’t bring herself to do it on her own.

Sobs stuck in Kara’s chest, restricting her lungs as she finally met Lena’s eyes. They shimmered with unshed tears and Kara submitted herself to Lena’s mercy with scent and a tentative whine.

“Love was a foreign concept until I met you,” Lena explained, the smile on her lips bittersweet as she wiped her thumb across the wet trails on Kara’s cheek. “Its presence had never touched my life, and while I might not grasp the full extent of it, what I do know is that it was worth dying for a love like yours. I don’t regret my decision, and I don’t want to be trapped by our actions that led up to that moment. All that matters is that we’re both still here, and that I have no plans of ever leaving you again.”

“If they send us back to our own timelines—” Kara voice broke off before she could finish the sentence. She had already lost Lena once, and she knew she couldn’t survive it happening again.

“They won’t,” Lena whispered. “It would be cruel to separate mates, so Lena and I have come to an agreement that it would be beneficial for us to remain here.”

Lena’s proud pheromones carried adoration and Kara inhaled them as she blinked up at her omega.

“We can all help out National City and have more time for the things that matter,” Lena muttered with her hand still under Kara’s chin as she glanced around at her medical bay. “I don’t have a Kryptonite heart anymore. The Harun-El helped heal my old injuries. We can have a long life together.”

Kara stood up to curl into the hospital bed with Lena, cuddling her against her chest as she affirmed, “I want that. I love you, Lena.”

Lena stroked her fingers through Kara’s blonde hair and smiled up at her. “I love you, too.”
