[Sunken Cavern, Nessus | Earth-201499]

Wet footsteps impacted throughout the echoing cave of the darker and hidden part of Nessus, deep within Vex territory... A group of Guardians, are seen making their way to their destination, with their Ghosts... All out in the open beside their own Guardians.

They searched and searched, searching for traces, evidence, anything they could find, their mission?

To find the missing Guardian... The previous Hunter Vanguard after Cayde's passing...

A Titan, armor broad and strong, with a fiery furnace in his chest armor, knelt down at a Light trace, belonging to the missing Hunter as his Ghost opted to scan it.

"Already been there before" a thick, golden-age accent, much like Amanda Holliday's accent, spoke loudly, walking past the Titan and his Ghost. "Had it scanned when I went looking for 'im" a Warlock with a cowboy hat continued, his arms corroded with Solar energy flowing like fire, not like a furnace... But contained, with three lights and lines around it. Wearing but cloth and a cowboy themed outfit.

"Since this Guardian was first reported missin?" a robotic voice replied from the Titan, an Exo in short terms, stood up from one knee as he holstered his rifle over his back, his Ghost returned to him as he did so. Armor in copper and a silver alloy, arms and legs flaming, just like the furnace in his chest armor.

"Yes, since he first disappeared. Ikora sent me to find him" the Warlock replied back, overlooking the floating rocks that led down to the room that was first reportedly discovered by the missing Hunter when he fanned out to search for another missing Guardian. "This all I got, just the traces and that darn hidden staircase".

"It's no coincidence that Guardians began disappearing after the Drifter began his newish Gambit experience" the Titan walked up to the Warlock. "Few died in his Gambit shenanigans".

"Drifter has nothin' to do with this situation" the Warlock confronted the Titan with a stern tone. "Can't go blaming him for it, seems the man in the annex has had enough backlash the now, an accident is an accident, nothin' more".

"You're not in league with him, aren't you, Tex?" the Titan asked, Tex looked at him with a stern look, but not aggressively.

"Look. If this is about Roze? Then keep your horse steady" Tex held his hands out. "I had nothin' to do with that, I didn't convince her... She made the choice, Dox".

Dox-2 blinked under his helmet for a few moments before a heavy sigh escaped him, he cherished having his fireteam all together, together with Tex and Roze as the fireteam he's done missions, patrols and many activities together with. Alone? He and Roze were nothing but a couple together.

One would say it would be strange to see a Human, in love with an Exo... But it is merely common. Just like how a Human can be in love with an Awoken.

"I know... I really shouldn't-"

"If yer gonna apologize... Don't" Tex interrupted. "It don't suit ya to apologize. You can check on her, y'know?".

"I just... Haven't been able to..."

"Or you don't want to because you're... Afraid?" Tex shot an eyebrow from under his helmet and hat, Dox blankly looked at his fireteam member for a moment before sighing.

"Yeah... Scared is one of those feelings...".

"Don't be... She expects you to visit her" Tex replied before his comms began going off.

"Fireteam Hydron, I have arrived via transmat beacon and there is no sign of you, what is your location?" a stern, commanding voice asked through both the fireteam member's comms.

"On our way, Commander. Dox went investigating without me knowing" Tex replied to Commander Zavala. "Best we get on our way".

"I heard" Dox replied. "Let's get a move on, Commander sure will be wanting an explanation of what is down there".

The Guardians began making their way, as a question sprung Dox-2's mind.

"You think he's alive?"

"Who?" Tex questioned, wondering what Dox was talking about.

"Zain, I mean..." he answered thorough.

"Possibly, the constructed portal states otherwise, I have reason to believe that many other Guardians found this room, investigated and went through that gateway, I suspect it could be a Vex trap, but we don't know yet... Not until we have the answers we're looking for... But I suspect that he is in fact alive.

But I do wonder... Where does the portal lead?"

[New York, USA | Universe: Post-Crisis Reverted | New Earth Reborn]

The morning sun shines on through a pair of curtains that covered the window of the bedroom, illuminating a precise shadow of two people currently under the covers of the bed.

Is was there, that Y/N's eyes began to open, shimmering as he began to awake from his lucid dream, the same dream he usually has, though with different outcomes and places.

It was strange... But he had gotten used to it whenever he'd sleep, as much as it wouldn't bother him anymore.

However... His eyes caught onto a pair of baby blues staring right back at him, a huge smile plastered on her face as she witnessed him awaking once again... Only this time?

He had slept beside her...

"Morning" a soft spoken Kara Zor-El said with a slow blink, the first to wake up as usual when Y/N would sleep, she found it cute the way he woke up.

"I... Forgot you pulled me onto the bed when I tucked you in" Y/N softly replied as he came to the realization of him been sleeping beside his girlfriend for the first time. "Morning though" he then said afterwards.

This prompted the Girl of Steel, clad in bedsheets, to kiss him on the lips, a long driven kiss before pulling back with an audible giggle, softened and adorable.

"You couldn't resist, could you?" Y/N asked in a teasing manner.

"You know I can't" she replied, non-ashamed. "You have such a kissable face, which is all mine" she giggled softly again.

"Suppose so" Y/N shrugged, kissing her back as he felt Kara caress his cheek as the two then pulled back slightly. "C'mon, let's get up, we can go out for-" he felt a tug from his arm before he felt himself be pulled gently back onto the bed.

"Five minutes... Please" she pulled him to her, wrapping an arm around her as she softly moaned her plead. "I want to experience this for five minutes, cause I never get to when crime breaks out" she softly spoke again, as Y/N stared at her unamused.

"You're not letting go, aren't you?" he asked, she shook her head.

"Nope, not even gonna" she smiled as Y/N rolled his eyes, though she couldn't see it.

"Fine" he sighed, crashing back onto the bed as giggles escaped the girl beside him, the two looked into each other's eyes once more. "Only because it's you".

"Thank you, babe" she smiled bright, before pulling herself in to kiss him to get a taste of his lips, once again.

the last few weeks were special for the two, the first kiss sparked wonders for both of them. It wasn't his first time kissing but for Kara? It was her first time... Despite the one other time with Poison Ivy which was forced, a memory Kara wants to forget.

Her hand was on his chest as their long kiss continued, eyes closed as their cheeks blushed with joy, Kara thought to herself 'I feel as if I'm the luckiest girl on Earth... Except I'm not even a Human, I'm a Kryptonian'.

Within those weeks that went by after the 2nd date? There was good things... But bad and strange things along with it...

Something was going in within the Justice League, a shakeup of some kind, rumors of minds being wiped, Villains having their minds wiped forcibly which drew concern for many outside the League, including the couple kissing at the moment.

Glace was the one who first discovered secret logs within the Justice League's computer, detailing past events, but there was a few that were locked away, to keep out of reach... Luckily Glace managed to break in and find what was called...

'IDENTITY CRISIS'

It was... A dark event, many people murdered, many turning against each other, accusing one another of crimes they hadn't committed.

Details revealed that Zatanna Zatara wiped the minds of people and the JLA helped her do this... Toward villains that found out secret identities...

Along with wiping the minds of their own allies...

This was a past event, but the details still shocked the Ghost, revealing them to her Guardian but not to tell anyone else of what they discovered... Though Kara overheard them talk about it, which got her involved in it too.

The vowed to never speak of it again...

Then there was the ongoing OMAC situation...

An unknown threat still at the time, but the League were deep in conflict with them, all superhero teams were under-threat from these OMACs.

With Brother Eye also being hacked also through an unknown enemy which was later to be Maxwell Lord, the OMACs attacked and were ordered to hunt down any superhero teams they could find, which was a major threat to humanity, these OMACs were once Earthlings, turned into monsters.

"It's been a strange few weeks, hasn't it?" Y/N softly asked Kara who agreed with him, the two pulling back from the kiss to speak.

"Yeah... Especially with the OMACs now gone" Kara thought back to it all, she remembered fighting the OMACs, knowing they were once Humans, now enhanced with superpowers of her own allies and enemies. "I don't know who Maxwell was but... The fact he orchestrated all of this was insane".

"Reminds me of the tales of the Dark Age" Y/N breathed out.

"You've only told me a few tales of the Dark Age, would like to hear more about the Warlords and Iron Lords" she replied, feeling her nose being poked next.

"In due time" he smiled, kissing her cheek next.

"How's Batman holding up?" Kara then asked Y/N softly. "Is he recovering okay?".

"He's... Well... Still uh stubborn and jumpy, but overall? He's recovering" Y/N replied seriously. "After that rough up he got from your cousin being mind controlled? He's... Been very skeptical".

Superman was mind controlled during the OMAC situation at the time, who had brutally beaten up Batman at the Fortress of Solitude, along with causing collateral damage, during the time Y/N was busy helping Praedyth with cleaning out the Vex Network of Taken Incursions, along with Hive Assaults on the Vex Fortress itself, having Supergirl and the Outsiders helping him out also during that time, especially with the OMACs trying to find a way into the Fortress.

The Vex managed to capture a few OMACs and began processes to rid of the OMAC side of the Earthling, restoring them to normal which was a surprise. The Vex weren't known for this type of thing, the Sol Consensus weren't like any other Vex.

 The rest of the OMACs were too far gone for them to be restored.

"Y'know what?" she got up all of a sudden. "I am kinda hungry" Kara breathed out. "Wanna go out for breakfast?" she offered him as his expression changed from happy to a deadpanned look.

"Really?" he showed annoyance. "That's what I said before!" he huffed, making the girl chuckle.

The girl crawled over to him and pecked his lips once more, pulling back with a soft smack of her lips. "It's been five minutes, doofus".

"That quick? Must've gotten carried away".

"Oh btw, I'm gonna visit Diana on Themyscira today, after what happened with her, Kal and Batman? I feel bad for her" Kara then appointed out, showing a bit of shame for what happened a few days ago that shook the entire world and the superhero community.

"I was there, Kara... I watched her kill Maxwell Lord happen in front of my eyes..."

* *

[Flashback, Three Days Ago]

Y/N had swiftly incapacitated the mind controlled Superman who in his eyes, witnessed Doomsday kill Lois in front of him and viciously attacked Wonder Woman which Maxwell made the Man of Steel see her as Doomsday, thinking it was him when in reality?

It was her...

Using red Solar Light, he shot a low powered Golden Gun shot which incapacitated Superman, enough to get him off of Wonder Woman's back which she thanked Y/N for the unexpected assist as he was nearby the area of where their fight had crashed down upon, he was collecting Vex Data that scattered across the world that Praedyth needed to boost defenses up to assist Supergirl and the Outsiders that defended the fort, alongside the Sol Consensus.

Her nose was bleeding, cuts and bruises laid on her body, her wrist healing from being snapped by the Man of Steel's grip from earlier, she took the Guardian to confront Maxwell Lord to confront him again, this time? Having a Guardian to help her.

A snarky smirk of Maxwell scowled the corner of his mouth as a pissed off Wonder Woman arrived, to his surprise that she brought the Guardian with her.

"You got lucky, doesn't look like anyone was killed in your crash-down--" suddenly a knife was thrown into Maxwell's hand as he dropped a device out of his hand, impaling through as a sharp pain induced through his hand, a little hiss escaped with dark laughter.

"End this now!" Y/N shouted as Diana wrapped her lasso around Maxwell, not allowing him to escape before she grabbed him by the throat.

"END IT!" she demanded. Still, Maxwell Lord smirked near the corner of his mouth as blood soaked into his brown glove, curtesy of Y/N's knife throw.

"No" he refused. "Any second now, he'll arrive, and this will start all over again..." he smirked as Y/N looked back out of the hole. "And he will keep coming at you, and you too Guardian, until either one of you kill him, or he kills both of you".

"Shit" he cursed, summoning a red Golden Gun before laying out a shot which then... Superman came crashing on in, right past Y/N.

"This ends here. This ends now" Diana spoke again, threatening the man. "Release him!".

"....Fine....".

A groaning Man of Steel began to get up, still under the effects of red Solar energy due to Y/N's Light effecting him, now finding himself looking at Diana and Y/N within the room, where Maxwell was at Diana's mercy.

"Diana... Y/N..." he groaned.

"It's all right, Kal" the Amazonian reassured him as fear sprang in the man's eyes.

"It'll be alright... What you saw wasn't real" Y/N checked on him, getting him up a little as he then looked back at the sound of Maxwell's dark chuckle.

"It was to him" he spat out. "And will be again, because you can't keep this lasso on me forever. And the next time he'll kill Batman... Or Lois, you, the Guardian... Or" he then slowly turned his head toward the Guardian. "Or Supergirl" he smirked evilly as Diana showed a sense of anger upon Kara being mentioned...

But the only one to express such anger...

Was the Guardian...

"You" he threw his knife out close to the man's face before Maxwell felt the end of a cold steel barrel on his head. "Ever try doing such a thing..." he spat in his face, a sense of odd anger coursing through the Guardian. "I'll blow your fucking brains out, Maxwell! I swear to the Traveler, I'll do it! It won't be the first time!!"

"Y/N... Don't..." Superman struggled to say from the back, stumbling a little while still effected by the red solar energy from earlier.

"Do it!" the lasso glowed as Max spoke.

"Guardian-"

"Say it again! I fucking dare you!!".

"Y/N" Diana called out in a stern tone, drawing his attention away from Max. "Let me handle this".

"Let me kill this sack of shit!! He's a danger to everyone!!" Y/N shouted, really tempted to pull the trigger, finger itching for it.

"Kill me" he struggled to say... Like he was struggling with his speech.

"Let me... Handle this" Diana repeated her words again, the Guardian caught onto her words as he sighed heavily, taking his gun away from Max's head as he stood back.

"He's mine to control, Wonder Woman" Max smirked evilly at the Amazonian before she held him up by the throat. "I'll never... Let him... Go".

"You will" she hissed. "Tell me how to free him from your control" she glared into his eyes, showing no sense of emotion anymore.

"K-Kill me" he spoke the truth, with the Lasso of Truth around him.

Diana took his words... Took the truth...

*Krk*

And so... Maxwell Lord... Was no more...

His neck snapped by Wonder Woman as Superman looked in horror, with Y/N having a surprised look on his face...

"Shit... I didn't think you would..."

* *

[Present Day]

The couple had their breakfast at the usual place they tended to have breakfast at, an English Breakfast Muffin for both of them as usual and their desired drinks to go with it.

The death of Maxwell was witnessed everywhere, and even after that? Conflict still derived within the Justice League, with Diana now exiling herself on Themyscira due to what happened and now not on at least good terms with Superman and Batman, distancing themselves away from her...

Another problem arose between Superman...

And Y/N...

Y/N thought Maxwell's death was justified and was the only option on the table, but Kal wasn't exactly fond with Y/N's perspective, even going as far to lecture him about what Y/N has done as a Guardian, which wasn't in Clark's nature to do something such as that.

An argument broke out between them, about justifying actions for what happened, Y/N labelled it would only get worse if they kept letting it all happen, that some deaths can do good.

Kal argued that on Y/N's Earth, things maybe different. "But here?! It isn't!"

If Diana hadn't killed Maxwell Lord? Y/N would've done it, Glace even said it herself by backing up her Guardian on it all, and Clark wasn't very happy with that... As he had a feeling Y/N would kill if given the chance.

Just like he slaughtered the Apokoliptian Army on Apokolips, which Clark brought up as much to Y/N's disapproval of the matter alone, he only did it to get to Kara.

Which is when... Y/N brought up the information that Glace pulled from the Justice League's computer, especially about the mind wipes which to some? Drove an edge between a few heroes, especially between Y/N and Superman, which threats were given out to one another.

Superman, along with the Justice League would only help Y/N and his Ghost get back home safely... And that was it... But he told the Guardian he shouldn't be with Kara anymore which made things a little more heated, but fortunately... No attacks happened, just simple threats.

Kara had known her boyfriend and her cousin argued, Kal even stated to Kara that she should stay away from Y/N from now on.

Kara didn't exactly show it, she wasn't happy with Clark when he said it, she wasn't disappointed with Y/N agreeing with Maxwell's death being good for Earth. She scolded her cousin for wanting her to break up with Y/N before flying off that day, leaving a sighing Clark behind with Lois.

"When he said we should..." Supergirl sighed as she looked at the city below, the two sat on the roof of a skyscraper, curtesy of Supergirl bringing him toward it. "About wanting us to split? I... I felt hurt, I was annoyed with him, he could see it in my face that was I wasn't happy with what he said".

"Have you spoken to him?" Y/N asked.

"Nope" she answered, the last few days she hasn't physically spoken with her cousin, not after what he had said prior to the situation of the matter. He was still her cousin, she knew it, drama can happen in family all the time. She was mature enough to know that.

"I never told you, but... I was very close to punching him across the face when he 'couldn't quite see why Kara was so keen on you if you only kill for the sake of it', that really pissed me off" he slightly chuckled at the thought.

"Wouldn't you... Break your hand if you did that?" Kara asked with an eyebrow cocked up.

"Would've used Arc Light to do it, even if I didn't? Glace would've fixed my hand up in no time".

"Yep" Glace agreed.

"Showoff" Supergirl stuck her tongue out.

"Showoff? Says you" he playfully shoved her lightly as she giggled before it died down as she hung her head low. "Y'know? Kal texted me earlier" her revelation made Y/N look at her in shock.

"Wait, really?" he asked.

"What did he say?" Glace asked the proper question for Y/N as Kara thought back to it.

"Uh... He said he was sorry for what he said, to me and you of course. He thought it was wrong of him to say what he said and it had nothing to do with the situation. He wanted to pass along from me to you that he was skeptical about what you were doing, why you were dating me and all that. Even the killing part. But after what he has seen, after reading up on the reports your Ghost had given the League and everyone else, he began to understand why" she remembered most of it from the back of her head alone.

"Is that all?" Y/N asked, not sounding convinced.

"Think he said something else but... I'll need to read it again, didn't quite make out of it before crime broke out earlier" she replied. "But... An apology is an apology" she sighed.

"You don't sound too happy about it" he noticed Kara's tone of voice sounding displeased.

"I'm not... That's the issue" she shook her head. "I expected a physical apology, not... A texted, written one" she vented out her frustration, annoyance running across her face. Now Y/N understood why Kara didn't look too happy earlier. "I'm glad I have you to keep me happy" she rested her head on his shoulder with a smile.

"To be honest, Kara" Y/N then wrapped an arm around her. "I don't even think I'll remember this place when I get back home" he suddenly spurted out.

"What?" Kara snapped her eyes at him, confused. "What'd you mean by that" she then looked at Glace, who looked at her Guardian next.

"Guardian, are you sure about this?" Glace warned Y/N, knowing the next thing he'd say wouldn't sit well...

"About what?" Kara looked worried... Genuinely worried.

Y/N only nodded before looking back at Kara as he took a deep breath. "Praedyth might've found a more faster way to get me and Glace back home... Along with him too" he said which Kara seemed happy to hear about, knowing they'd establish communications nonetheless.

"That's good... Right?" she saw the look on Y/N face which instantly made her frown turn upside down. "There's bad news?".

He nodded. "The portal back to our world... Would potentially... Wipe my memory and Glace's of this world, of you... Of everyone" he broke the news to her which made her face turn pale.

Kara's heart sunk deep, she didn't quite know what to make of it. "N-No... No! You're not taking that portal... Are you?".

"No... I don't think I will, but the thing is? Even if I don't and I still use the way back home the League 'eventually finds' to get me back home? That could still wipe our memory of this world, it's a high possibility, unless there's a safer way to do so. My Earth is... Very dense, Praedyth is finding other solutions around that but... If I have to Kara... I... I gotta...".

"You can't..." Kara caressed his cheek. "I-I c-can't...".

"I know..." he caressed Kara's cheek too, seeing her eyes beginning to water slightly, on the verge of tears. "I just hope it doesn't come to it...".

"It won't" a new stern voice joined in. I won't let that happen" Superman stood 5ft away from the couple, surprising both of em with a mixture of emotions on his appearance showing up.

"K-Kal?" Kara stood up from the edge of the roof, alongside Y/N. "I would've sensed you, how did you?"

"You were so focused on Y/N, letting your guard down" Kal crossed his arms.

"Oh... Right..."

"What're you doing here?" Y/N wasn't too keen in seeing him, glaring directly at the Man of Steel who sighed.

"I... I've come to apologize physically - for what I said a few days ago, I shouldn't have said what I said".

"Mhm, go on" Y/N said with an unconvincing tone, crossing his arms as he arches his eyebrows.

"I've seen how happy Kara is with you, how she feels happy around you as she's talked about you quite a lot since you first began dating her" Kal continued.

"Oh? Has she now?" he looked at Kara who blushed in sight.

"I could see that she was very happy, that she really did choose the right person. But I let my judgement take over, of what you've done since you've -"

"Let me stop you right there, Clark" Y/N suddenly abrupted, stopping Clark from speaking. "Just because I kill my enemies? Doesn't mean I enjoy killing them, I mean sure, I enjoy killing the Hive since they only kill to feed their worm and have done many atrocities against the Guardians throughout the many years before and after I became a Guardian. It doesn't give you the right to justify my actions, you wanna talk about what I did on Apokolips? Fine we can talk about what I did... I did what I did, to save your cousin" he ranted, Clark said nothing and listened to what Y/N had to say. "I'm hoping you really understand the things I've seen, what I've been through? Is enough to make you understand why I do the things I do... Maxwell Lord's death was a choice, and Diana made that choice to save you, if she didn't? I would've done it, I don't take pleasure in taking another person's life, but if they done something really bad? They get what's coming to them"

"Look I get it... I vowed I wouldn't kill anyone on this Earth, except for my own enemies alone, but when I agreed with what Diana did and I meant it? I meant it in a way that it was for a good sake, not a bad one. And... I know I haven't been the easiest guest here on this... Earth, but I always do what must be done... That's what being a Guardian is all about, we act... We don't let the bad guy get away with it, and he made it personal when he mind controlled you, made you do all those things... On behalf of Glace and myself, I can apologize for exposing the League's wrong doings of the mind wipes and vice versa, but I for sure, will not apologize for what I agree upon, which was Diana killing Maxwell Lord... The only way was to save you was his death, and that was a hard decision, Diana said it herself" he finished his rant, leaving a bewildered Clark to process what the Guardian said.

He stood there for a moment before he sighed with a little smile appearing on his face.

"Maybe you're right in a sense... Although I don't agree with what Diana did, or the fact that you side with her... Everything else? I understand more clearly" he explained. "Which is why I'm sorry for what I said, I wasn't in the right state at the time due to what Maxwell did. Trust will have to be rebuilt again since the League isn't too pleased of what Glace did".

"I can understand that" Y/N agreed, starting to be a little convinced but skeptic still.

"I'm glad you do" Clark nodded. "And Kara" Clark turned to his cousin. "I'm sorry too".

"It's okay, Kal" she sped over to him to hug him. "I'm guessing you overheard me?" she asked him, knowing what she said earlier.

"In fact I did, which is why I came here. I shouldn't have said what I said" he wrapped his arms around his cousin, accepting the hug as the two hugged for a moment before it broke, Kal shared a smile with Kara.

"Same to me" Y/N spurted out. "It's not my place to judge others, nor is it yours... In the text message, you said you understood what I do what I do more clearly... What does that supposed to mean?".

"What I meant was... I know what you have been through, from the information and logs, Glace had sent" Kal answered immediately. "From the logs of your rogue gallery, the atrocities they've caused? It was shocking, even the more recent ones" he expressed the horror he had found within the log entries, the data and docs of the Guardian's enemies of the Last City, dating back to that of The Great Disaster and the Battle of the Twilight Gap

"Yeah" Y/N briefly looked down at his holster, holding Ace of Spades. "The recent ones" he remembered Uldren at his mercy, alongside Petra Venj who had Uldren at gunpoint...

He remembered pulling the trigger, silencing Uldren forever... Which the Man of Steel read up on, which was the last human-like person he had killed before arriving to this Earth.

"A lot has happened since then and it's... Time for healing" Kal suggested. "I'm wondering if you'll be there for Ted Kord's funeral tomorrow, you and my cousin".

"Of course" Y/N agreed with Glace giving a visible nod "Maxwell did make it personal killing him, Ted was brilliant, *sigh* I feel bad for Booster".

"I'll be there too, Kal. I may have not known him much but... I'll be there too" Kara agreed too.

"Thank you" Kal smiled. "I promise that we will get you a safer way home, without your mind being wiped and also establish communications if possible" the man vowed as Y/N looked serious toward Kal.

"I'll hold you to it".

"Well, I gotta get back to my other job. Good luck on your date" he nodded before flying off, leaving the couple alone.

Kara sighed and turned to Y/N. "So...".

"So..." Y/N repeated after her.

"I had to open my mouth, didn't I?" she asked.

"Yep..." he nodded. "But least that's out of the way" he sighed. "I'm glad he understands now... That's all I needed to hear".

"Yeah" she smiled before floating over to him, and wrapping her arms around him. "Were we dating just there?".

"SG... This is a date... In a way" he smiled before pulling himself in to kiss her lips, the girl melted into his lips not long after with a slight pullback after.

"If you say so" she smirked before continuing the kiss, smiling all the way through.

The couple would then pull back for, just for Y/N to get some air as Kara giggled lightly. His arms wrapped around her as her cape, skirt and hair blew in the soft wind gracefully. The girl kept on smiling as she always did around him, he was after all... Her pride of happiness with their foreheads touching for a moment.

"I say we should go see Diana now" Kara suggested.

"I suppose so, but let's enjoy this the now, less you're thinking of taking me to the moon again?" he hinted toward her. She only chuckled as she pecked his nose. "Are you though? I don't have a ship anymore, remember".

"Maybe after we visit Diana" she smiled. "But I guess we can enjoy this the now..." the girl pulled him into a kiss, a kiss he would accept.

"Oh Traveler, why is it you two are so... Cheesy yet I... Like it?".

The couple erupted in soft laughter at what Glace said, with her looking confused at the matter, their kiss was abrupted however.

"I don't know? Are we?" Y/N questioned his Ghost's observation to his girlfriend as she lightly chuckles.

"I'm trying to think of a pun right now but I can't" she snorted.

"Please don't..." he begged, groaning next. "I've had enough of criminals in Gotham making bad puns to their darn gimmick".

"You see my point?" Glace got her word in.

"Hey, don't double team me here. That's not fair!" she playfully huffed, puckering her lips.

"Aha" he scoffed. "Says the girl who took on three powerful criminals last week without any help?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah" she remembered. "Well... I guess I could take you both on" she shrugged, giving off a cocky smile.

"Now you're being cocky" he deadpanned.

"Says the Guardian who has killed Gods by himself?" she smirked. "And on top of that, destroyed an entire army... At least when you had to" she continued, making Y/N eat his own words.

"To be honest? She does have a good point" Glace agreed as Y/N looked offended at her.

"Don't go jumping ships here!" he glared at his Ghost as Kara burst out in a fit of giggles. "You're my Ghost, thought you had my back?".

"I do! This is me having your back" she interjected.

"Mhm" he hummed, not taking her seriously.

"Right or wrong... You both are cocky in your own rights. At least you both don't go boasting it to others to meddle with them" Glace shared her observation, both Kara and Y/N nodded at her. "Thank the Traveler you were never like that, Zain".

"Zain..." Kara wondered loudly. "I forgot you were also called by that name".

"Was for a while, until I found out my past name and decided to go with that. I'm still called by that though".

"Yeah... But about boasting about what I do and the fact that I'm Superman's cousin? I'd never do that, it feels... Scummy, and I bet if there is another version of me out there, not counting Power Girl, my other version would probably boast about it and wear skimpy skirts" Kara spoke in a serious manner. "Good thing I wear a skirt and shorts. A skort pretty much, shows that I am my own person, not just Superman but with lady parts, if you understand what I mean" she smiled.

"I do" he nodded. "Ironic as it also sounds, Praedyth and I did some research and I think this Earth did have a past timeline... Which was wiped from what was called a Flashpoint if you remember translating that text on the wall back in that cavern in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon?" Y/N called back to the transcript within the hidden room housing an unknown artifact, an artifact he still carries and holds on him.

"Yeah..." she softly replied. Thoughts running through her head about it. "If that's true then..." Kara looked away worried. "What if we've been in a cycle, over and over again? What if..." she stopped herself before breathing out a chuckle. "Nevermind, I'm overthinking it too much".

"You're not wrong though" Y/N agreed. "But I do agree you shouldn't worry about it too much, if such a timeline or Earth in that matter, existed before and was quote-on-quote 'erased' by a 'Flashpoint', I'd say it wouldn't happen again" he reassured Kara's worries were nothing, which made her happy nonetheless, she took his word for it.

"Where would I be without you?" she wrapped her arms around his neck as she slowly blinked at him while happily smiling ear to ear.

"Don't know? That's not for me to answer" he smiled as Supergirl then pulled herself in to kiss to Y/N once more.
