Summary:
After a devastating battle leaves Supergirl powerless and Alex injured, National City is left in shambles. With their resident hero removed from the fight, the city descends into chaos. Crime rates spike and the people are vulnerable to theft and murder. Months after Supergirl vanishes, a mysterious being emerges from the darkness, seeking justice by any means necessary. With the threat of a new villain looming ahead, the world creeps closer to total annihilation. Alex, Kara, Lena, and Maggie must navigate the new vigilante, stop a war, and prevent the end of the world.
But, when a horrifying secret is revealed, all four women are sent reeling.
Will they be able gather themselves in time to save their home, or will it be too late?
I never thought Iâd ever write for this fandom, but now not have I only written for it, I have completed my first actual multi-chaptered story. This doesnât follow the story of the show, but rather touches on themes from the DCEU instead.Â
In total, this story is 170,000+ words, 36 chapters and one epilogue long. Itâs filled with angst, hurt/comfort, and has a happy ending (I promise). Slow-burn Sanvers and established Supercorp, and it is mostly Kara and Alex-centric.Â
Please give it a read if you want! I promise it is one Hell of a ride :)
The next chapter will be out by Monday.
