4 Months Later, April 10th, 2020- The Tower
After Darkseid's failed invasion the world took some time to get back to normal but nonetheless things were smooth for the time being.
Deja walked out the elevator holding five boxes of pizza and three bags of potstickers. "Kara, congratulations on the article." The
"Thank you." Kara said. "Is that potstickers I smell?"
Deja smiled as she sat the mountain of food on the table. "It is."
"So where's Mon-El, Wally, and Luke?"
"They're in the game room, again." Kara answered. "So any word from The Birds of Prey or The Canary." Kara questioned.
"No, they haven't got back to me yet. Hopefully they join, we could use so members." Deja stated.
"Why don't you just ask The Titans? We could use the separate abilities of all of them." Kara said.
"No offense to any of them but they weren't invited for a reason." Deja revealed. "They belong on the team that they're on, they functioned better without me. Besides, I want new heroes to be on this team, along with the three of you who deserve this."
Kara gave a soft smile at her compliment, then diverting her attention to where Wally and Luke were. "Surprised they aren't in here yet."
In an instant Wally came speeding out, along with Luke and Mon-El following behind.
"That smells good." Mon-El said.
Deja saw the way the Mon-El and Kara looked at each other, putting a smile on her face, getting to see her bestfriend happy.
Suddenly, the monitor flashed a bright white, flashing black and white.
"To his captors, Wd demand you turn over Mon-El of Daxam." The screen said in a distorted voice.
Everyone across the globe looked at their screens in confusion and some even looked in fear.
"We know where he is harbored. If you do not relinquish him by dawn, we will take him with force."
Everyone in the Tower looked at each other confused and then shot a look to Mon-El but he looked shocked as well.
Deja picked up the tablet and seen that their was an unknown spacecraft in the lower atmosphere. "Theirs a spacecraft in the lower atmosphere, I'm sure that's who the transmission is from. And it's right above National City."
Luke looked confused. "What would a bunch of space invaders want with a guard from Daxam?"
Luke then pulled up a holographic diagram of the ship and looked towards Mon-El. "Does this look familiar to you?"
Mon-El looked around the room for a brief moment before he answered. "I've never seen a cruiser like that in my life."
"Alex said she's searching for the origin of the ship to see if it gives them any indication as to who they are, but she far, no match." Kara stated holding her phone.
"I mean what do we do?" Wally asked. "We're sure as hell not giving Mon-El to the invaders."
"Well, I think it's time we give the noobs the old Supergirl welcome." Kara said as she started to walk towards the balcony.
"I'm coming with you." Mon-El said as he followed behind.
Kara chuckled. "No way."
"Mon-El, all we know is that they want you. So you should be the last person to go. Besides, Kara gots this." Deja stated.
Kara flew off from the balcony and towards the ship at super sonic speeds. When she reached close to the ship she comm'd in.
"This ship looks like it's taken a few bumps and bruises. I'm going to approach."
"Proceed with caution." Deja said on the other line.
She flew closer to an area of the ship, at the same time a weapon came out to fire at her. It fired a missile at her that she swiftly dodged, it blew up behind her.
She turned back towards the ship and tried to heat vision it but the shields were enabled. The ship then fired a weird looking bubble towards her but so fast that she didn't have time to move out the way.
The bubble trapped her and began to fall and very fast speeds. She began to punch the bubble but nothing would make it break, she balled both of her fist together and smashed it as hard as she could.
Just as she did that she landed safely on the ground right in front of the vehicle she was about to trample. She leaped back into the air and flew towards the ship once again.
This time as she headed closer to the ship, the ship began to arm all its weapons and lock onto her. Mon-El feeling scared for her decided to intervene.
"Stop! Stop!" He yelled. "Stand down. This is Mon-El of Daxam. I will relinquish myself."
In an instant the weapons went away, disarming themselves. Supergirl immediately flew back to the Tower.
"Mon-El? Are you crazy? You're not going up there!" Deja said just as Kara landed on the balcony and rushed into the main room.
"I have to go up there." Mon-El stated.
"No. No. They literally just tried to kill me. How do you know they won't shoot you on sight?" Kara questioned.
"I don't, okay, but they want me." Mon-El answered. "This is my decision."
"There's a honing signal on a teleportation beam." Luke informed as Mon-El walked up the the balcony. "The ship is locking onto our coordinates now."
"Are you sure about this?" Kara asked.
"I'll be okay." Mon-El said as he cupped his hands around Kara's face. He pulled her into a kiss before breaking apart and finally standing at their center of the balcony.
Kara thought of a million reasons why he shouldn't go up there by himself and she just couldn't let him do it. As the beam began to take him she dashed to him and pulled him into a hug, Deja tried to follow her but just as she reached them they were already gone.
"Damnit." She muttered to herself.
"Why would you follow me?" Mon-El questioned as he let go of their hug.
"Why would you want to be teleported to an unknown spacecraft?" Kara questioned confused at Mon-El's defiance with her being here.
"Because... stuff." Mon-El said as a bunch of guards began to circle around them.
Kara held her hand out to shield him but she received an unexpected response from the guards, instead of attack them they began to bow to them.
"Are they bowing to us?" Kara questioned.
"Mon-El." A older man spoke from behind them, causing Kara and Mon-El to both turn around.
"Son, we've found you." An older woman spoke.
"Mom, dad. How'd you survive?" Mon-El questioned.
"We really shouldn't get into that. I'm just happy we've found you." The woman stated. "Kryptonian Girl, we apologize for firing at you, we were just defending ourselves."
"Defending? You attacked me." Kara exclaimed.
"Mon-El, introduce us." The woman said lowly to him.
"Kara," Mon-El stated. "This is my mom, Queen Rhea and King Lar Gand."
Kara face immediately changed to shock and confusion and ultimately betrayal. "King and Queen, which makes you the Prince."
"Yes, he is the Prince of Daxam." Queen Rhea said with a smile on her face. "We've had food prepared and I'm sure you're hungry, join us."
"No, I don't think that's necessary." Mon-El tried to say, because he already knew that Kara was upset that he lied to her.
"Actually, I would love to. Seems there's a lot to learn."

Mon-El, Supergirl, Queen Rhea, and King Lar Gand all sat down at a dinner table where the food was prepared by Daxamite chefs.
Most of these dishes Kara remember, seeing as their two planets, Krypton and Daxam, had similar food and drinks. Still, none of that could take her mind away from what she just discovered.
"Our journey to find Mon-El was long." King Lar Gand stated. "We've searched dozen's of solar systems, so imagine our surprise when we found him here."
"Especially when we heard about you two exploits on Slavers Moon, that's really how we found you were on earth with the Kryptonian Girl." Queen Rhea informed. "We want you to come back to restore Daxam, our planet may be gone but our people are still Alive and we need a new leader. The Prince."
"I can't, mom. I live here now, with Kara and the people of earth." Mon-El stated.
Kara chuckled slightly. "I'm just curious," she said with a sarcastic grin. "How did you escape Daxam, I'm sure Queen Rhea and King Lar Gand would love to know. As well as I would like to know."
"Okay." Mon-El said nervously. "I was awoken by my guard, who saved me because he thought that I needed saving because I am the Prince of Daxam, he saw that a Kryptonian emissary landed on Daxam with his pod by accident, he killed him and made me get into the pod and that's how I ended up here."
Kara put the fork down and stood up. "Someone on Earth needs my help so I should get going."
"Ah, there goes that famous Kryptonian hero complex." Queen Rhea said. "Guards, show her out. It was nice meeting you Kryptonian."
"Likewise." Kara said before leaving without saying anything to Mon-El.

Kara came home to Mon-El already being there. She sighed in irritation that he was there after he told a major lie to her.
"Mon-El.."
"Kara, wait." Mon-El said. "Yes, I am the Prince of Daxam and yes, I lied to you. But everything after that was not a lie, you inspired me to be a hero and to change who I was and become better. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to be the Prince of Daxam anymore, it's not who I wanted to be. It was the easier route to just not saying anything."
"Yeah and that's the problem, Mon-El." Kara said with a huff. "You love taking the easy route and being Supergirl, that's not who I am nor what I do. You told me you were ready and then this happens, I'm not sure if I can trust you anymore."
"No, Kara. You can trust me." Mon-El stated.
Kara walked towards the door. "This isn't going to work." She said as she opened the door. "You should leave."
Mon-El tried to protest but she stopped him and watched as he walked out her apartment. As she shut the door she began to sob heavily, feeling the hurt, betrayal, and sorrow all at once, emotions overwhelming her.
She stayed at her door slouched on it, sobbing as she thought about everything that just happened.
