The thirty first century, Earth Prime
It has been several months since Mon-el and the legion had visited for the last time the past and said their finale good-bye to the twenty first century in general and Kara Zor-el in particular. Winn had gone back to his wife and daughter and had enjoyed some quiet time before meeting with J'onn and M'gan son to report the message(s) his parents had asked him to hand him. J'onn had tried to enquire about his future but thanks to his training with other Martians, he had been able to shield his mind for any telepathic invasion without the need of a mind dampener
The team had dismantle the power core generator of their ship and sent the pieces if several directions of the deep space, the blue print and every other informations concerning it were sent in the direction of the sun. Mon el had then spent a couple of weeks mourning over it. He refused to lead the legion during that time claiming he wanted some time thinking about what could happen next. However winn finally had enough and had stormed in his house with Imra and told him to wake up and make his friend(s) proud, he was needed as leader of the legion, Mon el had shaken his head and commented Old Winn would have never done that before, He could see the future had been good for him and maybe he should be the one leading the legion. Winn scoffed and said he was not the one who created the team. After an other week and Mon el has been back at the team headquarters and had call for a meeting. After several days of talks, every members agreed it was time to sent messengers to other planets outside the solar system and to recruit more heroes. Several teams of two, a member of the legion and a diplomat were sent in all directions and asked to visit every worlds already visited by Earth with who they had negociated a trading route with in the last few centuries and find out the planet had their own heroes and to start to talk about being part of a larger team.

The 31st century, Hour One : Earth, the Desert
After several weeks, the Legion recieved an alarming message regarding a fast vessel on its way to Earth, warning them the travellers were not coming for peace. The message explained that the team had landed on one of the neutral world and have explored the main cities. They had heard of several fracas but weren't sure who had won, people were not talking. However when they finally located the fierce warriors, things didn't go the right way and the foes just laughed at them. The hero had tried to explain their mission but the leader had just had killed the human diplomat without second thoughts and badly injured the hero. Mon el had frowned but Nura Nal had grabbed his shoulder and told him smiling that everything would be all right. He had looked at her with confusion but he trusted her vision and had just nodded. The team had tried to intercept the space ship but it had been too fast and it had crashed in the suburd of a San Diego. It didn't take long for the occupants to exit and to the horror of the Legion had attacked the nearest factories. The legion had rushed to defend the people and after a hard fight had been able to move the battle to the desert. There were only seven aliens but they were strong, they were fast, they were fighting with glee in their eyes. Five members of the legion were needed to handle one single Alien and even then they seemed to be losing, No one was badly hurt but Mon el was feeling it wouldn't going to last and started to worry.
Mon el high side kicked one of the foe who just laughed at him, frustated Mon-el turned in the direction of who seemed to be the leader. The alien noticed and smirking while avoiding an uppercut and shoving a hero aside. Mon el began a determinded stride in his direction. The alien growled and shoved more fighter out of his way to get at Mon-el. Finally they met in the middle of the battle field, stopping the fight for a couple of seconds before it resumed. The leader and Mon el shared swing at each other but they both are to block the attacks. Mon el tried to wrap his hand around the villian's forearm but the foe did a backhand swing, snapping Mon-el head back, dazing him and making step back several feet and knelt. The leader roared at his fighters who stopped fighting and jumped backward and looked in anticipation at the man next move.
Mon el Swallowed at the event and felt dread, he threw a look at Dream girl and was surprised about the fact she was looking away from the fight with a beaming smile. Before Mon-el could find out why, suddenly a form crashed into the leader and started to pummel him in a flurry. The leader was too stunned by the attack than he was not able to protect himself from an uppercut that broke his jaw. The attackers stood stunned at the turn of event and yelled in anger after a few second. However two more people crashed into their group and started to punch and kick them. Within seconds, four had been knocked out and the other had stepped back, glaring at the new fighters and throwing look at their leader who was sneered at the black suited attacker. Before he could react, he was grabbed by the neck and lifted a few inch above ground. He croacked trying to beat the arm but found that whoever was holding him was a lot stronger that it seem.
The attacker triggered the suit and the helmet revealed a woman with blond hair with several white strands, she glowered at the leader and approached her face to him.
Woman: This world is protected. Got tell your master we will be ready for him
The leader thinned his lips and start shaking his head, the Woman studied him for a few seconds before sighing and broke his neck to the shock of the people of the Legion. The two other warriors jumped on the two remaining aliens and knocked them out.
Mon El react and start yelling at the woman: This is not how we do thing on ....
But the woman finally turned around and Mon el anger left him as in front of him was Kara Zor-el, looking nearly the same at the last time he had seen her, with shorter hair and hardly looking a handful of years older.
Mon-el: Kara!
Winn: Kara?
Imra: Kara Danvers
Nura smiling: Hey Girl
Ely: Hey Auntie
Mon-el and the other legion Members turned to their allies in confusion.
Kara laughed and then sobered turning to Mon-el: You are an idiot Mon-el, if you think a scouting party from Darseid is going to listen to your message of Hope, you are going to be really disappointed
Mon-el: I don't understand
Kara shrugged: You forgot Kryptonian Biology and the Yellow sun
Mon-el: But you disappeared
Kara: Never thought that maybe it was time for me to take a step back and let Earth and other heroes be. Are you telling me you never wondered how L-Corps was still running 400 years after, How Catco ran for an other couple of centuries, You know I checked that memorial museum and there hardly any mention of my cousin and other heroes. That's insulting to their legacies. I was not alone protecting Earth back then.
Mon-El: But your legacy ....
Kara: Tell me, do you think Rhea would have stand down listening to any of my Speechs about hope
Mon-El turned pale and looked away
Imra: That's just .... (throwing a look at the two other fighters) and who are you?
The two other fighter removed their helmets and smiled
Winn: Diana?
Imra: Ruby Arias?
Mon El: But
Ruby: Mom busy a few galaxy away but she should be back in a few months
Mon el looked speechless at the turn of event and his eyes landed on the body of the alien: Why did you kill him? That's not you
Kara scoffed: It might have been a few months we have seen each other last but it has been a thousand years for me (Mon el winced remembering at the memory of the first time the two had met again) I have fought, I have been hurt, I have raised a family, I have handed my cape to the next hero, I have travelled, I have fought wars, I have discovered new things, one thing I know is that Darseid has his eyes on the solar system in general and this planet in particular and you are not ready but I think he will be aware now
Mon el pointed to the fighters still out cold, Kara shook her head: A report drone had already left the atmostphere in direction of Apokolips (Mon El looked in alarm but Kara shrugged) Even then he still got a few thousands worlds to conquer before us but he will come in the few centuries or a thousand years.
Winn rushed at Kara and hugged her, Kara softly smiled
Winn: Will you tell me about ....
Kara: I will but it might take a while, I mean it has been a thousand years since Alex and Kelly wedding
Winn: Did .....
Kara looked away and sighed: It is a long story
