《New Earth: Supergirl》Chapter 34

"You know, this is the first time I've ever been on a Legion ship." Clark said as he and Kara watched Mon-El fly the ship through space.
"Yeah well, it's about the same as traveling in any other kind of spaceship. I just wish we didn't have to go for the reason we are." Kara said.
"You mean my parents attacking Argo trying to find me?" Mon-El asked.
"Pretty much. I'm just glad Winn and Lena rigged our suits to have a yellow sun function to allow us to keep our powers." Kara said, since she knew she'd need her powers if she was going to stop the war.
"You and me both. I just hope that my father can at least be made to see reason. My mother on the other hand." Mon-El said.
"We'll deal with that when we come to it." Kara said as the ship dropped out of lightspeed just in time to see the Daxamite ship firing on Argo.
"Okay then, so, what's the plan?" Clark asked.
"There's no safe place to land on Argo, get the Daxamite ship's attention. Lar Gand and Rhea are likely hiding there anyways, not willing to get their hands dirty." Kara said and Mon-El nodded as he took a deep breath before targeting the ship's weapons on Daxamite ship and fired on it.
"That should get their attention." Mon-El said as the computers indicated that they were being hailed.
"What is that?" Clark asked.
"My parents ship is hailing us." Mon-El said as he looked to Kara.
"Answer them. Maybe we can get an invitation on board the ship and get your parents to call for a cease fire." Kara said and Mon-El nodded as he opened the hailing frequency so that they could see Lar Gand and Rhea.
"Attention unidentified vessel, why have you fired on us?" Lar Gand demanded.
"Wow father, I thought you'd be a bit happier to see me." Mon-El said and it was then that both of his parents noticed him.
"Mon-El." Rhea said.
"We fired on you to draw your attention away from Argo." Mon-El said.
"We?" Rhea asked as she sneered when she saw who her son was with.
"You're traveling with kryptonians." Rhea sneered.

"They are not the enemy mother. Please, just let aboard the ship and I'll explain." Mon-El said.
"Of course." Lar Gand said as he ended the transmission.
"Okay, now I'm glad J'onn gave us a memory gun." Kara said.
"What do you mean?" Clark asked.
"I think we should use it on Lar Gand to remind him of Rhea's treachery, since while he was eventually able to see that Mon-El was happiest on Earth, Rhea never will." Kara said and Mon-El nodded.
"Not to mention there's also the fact that he'll remember that she killed him." Mon-El said.
"Okay then. Now, let's see if we can prevent war." Clark said as the ship headed for the now open hangar on the ship.
When Mon-El, Kara and Clark exited the ship, they found Lar-Gand and Rhea waiting for them.
"Mon-El." Lar Gand said as he held out his arms for a hug, which his son happily gave him.
"Father, I am so relieved that you're both alive." Mon-El said as he then moved to reluctantly hug his mother.
"And we are just as relieved to find you alive as well. We tracked your pod's ion trail to the well of stars and then here to Argo City. These kryptonians took you prisoner." Rhea said in disgust and Mon-El knew he had to act quickly before his girlfriend blasted Rhea with her heat vision.
"No, that's not what happened at all. The people of Argo city didn't abduct me, they saved me." Mon-El said.
"What?" Lar Gand asked, now feeling guilty about this attack, since he knew that the surviving kryptonians would see this as an act of reopening hostilities.
"Perhaps we can explain everything after you call off the attack on my people and also bring representatives from Argo here to serve as an envoy in an attempt to keep this from escalating into a new war between our peoples." Kara said and Lar Gand nodded his agreement.
"Send word immediately to all troops on Argo to withdraw and extend an invitation to any other members of the House of El, since I have a feeling they'd be the most willing to not to declare war against us the moment they arrive on this ship." Lar Gand said, wondering how they were going to avoid war after this, since this time, it would be clear that his people were the aggressors, not the Kryptonians, which meant that it would be easier for Argo to find allies than it would be for the daxamites.

"Mom, dad." Kara said as she rushed forward and hugged her parents when she saw them enter the ship, both of them looking a bit bruised from the fighting, but overall they were okay.
"Thank Rao you came." Alura said.
"Did you have any doubt I would?" Kara asked her.
"How bad is the damage?" Mon-El asked.
"We're still assessing, since we can only hope that the Daxamites did not find and destroy Argo's harun-el supply, since there isn't enough time to make more of it." Zor-El said, glaring at the Daxamites.
"Wow, so the Kryptonians took me in when my pod crashed on Argo and treated me like one of them and in return, you tried to destroy them. I know which side I'm going to be on during the war." Mon-El said.
"Surely there's a way we can avoid a war, since neither of our people would survive that." Lar Gand said.
"That's why we should've finished our attack and wiped them out." Rhea said, causing Lar Gand to look at his wife in shock.
"Rhea, how could you say that?" Lar Gand asked.
"Like this." Mon-El said as he pulled out the memory gun J'onn had given them and fired it at his father.
"My king." one of the guards shouted, but Lar Gand waved him off.
"I'm fine. But take Rhea into custody." Lar Gand said.
"What?" Rhea asked.
"I don't want you anywhere near these negotiations and I am well aware of your plans to overthrow me, since you were the one who launched the first strike against Argo." Lar Gand said as the guards looked at each other before nodding and taking the queen into custody.
"I'm sorry about that, though Mon-El, was the blast in the head really necessary?" Lar Gand asked.
"I needed to make sure you remembered mother's true nature." Mon-El said.
"Fair enough. Thank you. And I am honored to get to meet your girlfriend's parents." Lar Gand said as he turned to Zor-El and Alura.
"Wait, you remember?" Alura asked.
"The gun I shot him with was a gift from J'onn that replicates his powers. I restored my father's memories so that he'd remember that in the old universe, my mother killed him." Mon-El said.
"Okay then." Alura said.
"To be honest, I never truly loved or trusted Rhea, I only married her because my father arranged it." Lar Gand said.
"That explains a lot." Mon-El said.
"Anyways, maybe now we should discuss a way to prevent either of our races from declaring war?" Kara asked.
"I can think of one way and I don't think anyone in this room would object too badly to it." Alura said.
"How?" Clark asked.
"Perhaps if there was a way to physically unite our peoples, we could avoid war." Alura said.
"But how?" Kara asked, but Mon-El was the first to get it.
"The same way Imra and I fostered peace between Titan and Earth in the future." Mon-El said and now Kara understood.
"Wait, you want us to get married?" Kara asked, since while she had no problems with the idea, this wasn't exactly how she wanted to get married.
"I know it's not ideal, but think about it, Kara, the prince of Daxam marrying the daughter of one of the most honored houses of Krypton, it could be the basis of a real, stable peace between our planets." Alura said and Kara nodded.
"It's just not how I wanted to get married, I mean, my sister isn't even here." Kara said.
"Who says this has to be the only wedding we have. Think about it, we can have a small wedding here on Argo to prevent war between our planets and then when we return to Earth, we can have a real one." Mon-El said and Kara sighed.
"Okay then. Let's get married." Kara said, wondering how she was going to get Alex to calm down enough to explain why she got married without her there. Though she had to admit, she was actually thrilled to finally be marrying Mon-El despite the circumstances and that in this universe, she was the first member of the trinity to get married.

Collection of Short Stories?
I lied it's even less than a short story more like a collection of disparate situations. Also you can read this completely out of order. There is no connection between the chapters. Read any that interest you.

Nights of Sambria: And the Wish of Light
“I discovered a secret. One I desperately wish could have stayed hidden. It was locked away, concealed in a fantastical world on the doorstep of 7 billion people who stayed utterly oblivious to it. If they will be spared the terror that is coming, I can’t begin to imagine. Know that a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. Something listened. And now events are set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. I am being hunted and have run out of time. There were no stories about it. No legends. Not even scribbles. Yet, the threat of it is real and that’s why I’m writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.” She folded the letter with a shuddering breath and stared back in the direction from where the noise reverberated through the halls. It was of stone doors shattering one by one. The chances of getting out safely were all but gone. The letter in her hand was all warning they would have. It dropped into one of the Wells and all that could be done now was hope it was found in time, if at all. -- This was my very first large story. ;) I started writing it years ago. Was fun, was difficult, but in the end, it is a story I hope that will inspire. The prologue is in first person perspective and the rest of the story in 3d. Just a little heads-up :P It is a fantasy epic with a contemporary twist for the start. The first arc of the novel is set inside our modern world, but as the mysterious events around Calin intensifies, the hidden secrets in the world start to become more fantastical. The story follows Calin, a young orphan in search of answers. But, the answers he seeks will change his life and that of his friends forever, for the secrets that caused his situation have far greater ramifications than the small village of Lamb's Crest could have known. Remember to leave ratings and reviews. I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on the story. ;) Enjoy reading, Omri Hope
