《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 11
Advertisement
Both Alex and J'onn were getting worried by how long it was taking Kara to go get her aunt, since honestly, it should not be taking her this long. However, their worries died down when both Kara and Astra flew into the Tower.
"Aunt Astra, welcome to the Tower." Kara said as she showed her aunt around.
"An impressive headquarters." Astra said.
"You must be Kara's aunt." Alex said and Astra nodded.
"I am Astra. And you must be the sister she told me of." Astra said.
"You'll know exactly who I am in a minute." Alex said, confusing Astra until she saw J'onn shift to his green martian form.
"I thought all of your kind were wiped out." Astra said.
"Everything will become clear in a moment." J'onn said and before Astra could do anything, J'onn placed his hand to her temple and after giving Novu a silent thanks for boosting his powers to allow him to do this as he restored Astra's memories.
"You killed me." Astra said to Alex as she recovered from the mental overload.
"I was defending my boss and my friend. I had no other choice since Kara was preoccupied with your husband." Alex said.
"Aunt Astra, please do not force me to choose between you and her, since I will side with Alex." Kara said.
"You'd side with her over your own blood?" Astra asked.
"Family is more than blood and she is family who hasn't spent time in prison or tried to kill me." Kara reminded her and Astra sighed, since she knew her niece was right. As a warrior, Astra understood the position she'd put Alex in, since she knew that she'd do the same thing if their roles were reversed and Alex had acted far more like family to Kara than she had since they both arrived on Earth.
"I can understand why you did what you did Alex and the warrior part of me even respects you for putting your emotions aside to do this. And if Kara is willing to forgive you for what you did, then I can learn to as well." Astra said.
"You actually won't have to see me for long." Alex said.

"What do you mean?" Astra asked.
"Didn't J'onn bring you up to speed on everything that happened after you died?" Kara asked and Astra quickly thought about it before realizing what her niece meant.
"Argo survived." Astra said.
"And my mother along with it. And we've already located where it is right now, but I can't leave Earth right now. So we decided that you should look for it, since Non's forces will be coming after you and I'll be able to focus more on stopping them if I'm not also worrying about you." Kara said.
"And I can make amends with my sister." Astra said, since honestly, she missed the relationship she used to have with Alura before she allowed Non to get in her head and pervert her desire to save Krypton to his own ends.
"So you'll do it?" Kara asked and Astra nodded.
"Do you have a way for me to track it?" Astra asked and Kara nodded as she walked over to the computers and pulled out a device and handed it to her aunt.
"This device will sync up with the navigation system of any ship you take to track the energy signal of the substance Argo uses to power itself. You can use it to find Argo. However, you won't be able to contact them or us, since the barrier that keeps Argo safe blocks all signals from getting in or out of the city." Kara said and Astra nodded.
"Do you have a ship I can use?" Astra asked.
"I'll actually be going with you, so we'll take my ship." J'onn said.
"Why are you going?" Astra asked.
"Because J'onn is not the last Green Martian." Kara realized and J'onn nodded.
"I was not aware that others had survived." Astra said.
"Two others did and they are both related to me. My father, M'yrnn J'onzz, is on Mars and is being held prisoner by the white martians. The other is my brother Malefic, who is actually currently imprisoned in the phantom zone, since he betrayed my people to the Whites." J'onn said.
"And you still wish to free him?" Astra asked.
"Malefic only turned out the way he did because of a rare condition he had growing up that caused his own people to ostracize him." Kara said.

"It's a long story that I will tell you on the way, but we will be stopping at Mars on the way back from Argo, since I'm sure Alura will want to come back with us and I could use both of your help freeing my father, since I'm planning on restoring her memories, along with the memories of my family." J'onn said and Astra nodded.
"You're in charge of the DEO while I'm gone Alex." J'onn said and Alex nodded.
"Of course." Alex said.
"We should leave immediately. Since Non will no doubt be quick to take command of my forces and begin our plan, the sooner I can get off earth the better." Astra said.
"Wait, you're running?" Kara asked.
"No. But Non is no doubt tracking me somehow. I suspect that after my betrayal, he'll want to pursue me personally." Astra said.
"So you think you can lure him away?" Alex asked.
"Possibly. And if Non leaves, the soldiers will be in disarray. And since you already know where we're working out of, you can stop them and leave Non weakened with no army to lead." Astra said.
"Not a bad idea." Alex said and Kara nodded.
"We'll be back soon." J'onn said and Kara and Alex nodded as they both hugged him before Kara turned to her aunt.
"Tell my mom I love her and I can't wait to see her." Kara said and Astra nodded as she hugged her niece.
"Good luck my little one." Astra said with a smile.
"Thank you. For listening to me." Kara said.
"Thank you for making me see the truth." Astra said as she and J'onn left the tower.
"Are you sure this is a good idea sir?" one of Non's troops asked him as they approached a seemingly abandoned house.
"Astra was too soft to realize what great allies they could be for our cause. If our intel is correct, they share similar goals to us. We can help each other." Non said confidently as the ground began to shake.
"Show yourself." Non said, not at all intimidated by these tricks.
The ground continued to shake until the earth began to rise until it took a humanoid form.
"Hello Non. I was wondering when you'd come here." the man said.
"Rama Khan. We have much to discuss." Non said with a smile, since he knew that this would be the beginning of their new campaign.
"What could we have to discuss kryptonian?" Rama Khan asked.
"We are both survivors of lost worlds from the same system and we both seek to ensure that this world does not suffer the same fate. We can help each other." Non said.
"Perhaps. But before I'm willing to consider an alliance with you, you'll need to prove that you're worthy of it." Rama Khan said.
"I have information that will make your mission easier." Non said.
"What kind of information?" Rama Khan asked.
"Information I know you and your associates have been trying to get for years. The real names of Superman and Supergirl." Non said.
"Keep talking." Rama Khan said.
"I'm sorry, but I will only disclose this information to my partner." Non said and Rama Khan nodded.
"I understand. Trust must be earned on both sides." Rama Khan said and Non nodded.
"Once we've cemented our partnership, then I will give you the information. I need reassurance that you won't double cross me once I tell you." Non said.
"And we need assurance that you won't turn on us after our partnership ceases to benefit you." Rama Khan said and Non nodded.
"Perhaps we should discuss this further inside." Non said and Rama Khan nodded.
"Only you will be permitted inside. Your associates will not." Rama Khan said.
"Sir, are you sure about this?" one of Non's troops asked.
"I need to do what it takes to make this work. Besides, if they double cross me, I have no issue revealing their location to those pursuing them." Non said and his troops nodded as they flew off.
"Let us speak now." Rama Khan said as he showed him inside.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
