The ability to fly faster than light, to exist in the vacuum of space, to pierce the time barrier and reappear whenever she wanted to, and most of the time she took that for granted. No wonder that so often, life was stupid, dull, and boring to her.\\
No wonder that she'd never really managed to fully give her heart, or her body, to anyone yet. How many potential mates could understand the power and needs of a Kryptonian?

The static-shriek of pain in the telepathic plug was a sonata to Satan Girl. Smiling for the first time in minutes, she followed with another wallop, and another, and another. Four unanswered blows. Kara tried to resist, but her defense was fading.\\

Then she's whisked away to fight cosmic-powered villains in the future and other dimensions, at one point dragging herself out of ''literal'' Hell. Thus, when the ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}} grabs her out of her own time to fight Darkseid ''yet again'', Kara explodes.

Anti-Kryptonite, such as that produced beneath Argo City a thousand years ago, would do the trick. But that was hard to make, especially in the quantity needed to kill a world.\\

->"Now--here I am," she said, taking a seat at the table. "I see you've got the Fatal Five out again. But you could probably handle them without me. And I've been brain-scanned twice in the last few minutes. It sounds like something's coming up for me, specifically. Why did you summon me?"\\
"Because of this," said Brainiac, and thumbed the controller again. The image of a masked woman came up on one of the holoscreens.\\

''Hellsister Trilogy'' is a ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' fanfic series by Dark Mark.
In an alternate timeline in where Supergirl fought the [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths Anti-Monitor]] and survived, she is making a life for herself in Earth society. However, several returning enemies as well as Darkseid going ahead with his plans to enslave all sentient beings threaten to finish what the Anti-Monitor began.
This story is told through of several story arcs:
* ''Hellsister'': Supergirl returns to the future to team up with the ''ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}'' in an adventure which pits her against her evil doppelganger in a battle to the death, while Rokyn and Daxam face destruction and the Legion's mightiest foe threatens to command all the evil of the universe.
* ''The Apokolips Agenda'': Supergirl returns to the 20th Century to face one of the deadliest villains in the multiverse, and to aid the New Gods in their battle against him.
* ''Hellspawn'': In a time not her own, Supergirl must deal with the deadly menace of Darkseid, and the son of Satan Girl.
It can be read in [[http://members.tripod.com/Dark_Mark/darkmark1.htm Dark Mark's site]] and FF.net: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/258219/1/Supergirl-and-the-Legion-Hellsister here]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/713804/1/The-Apokolips-Agenda here]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12523112/1/Supergirl-Hellspawn here]]. After a long time without an update, a new chapter of "Hellspawn" has been posted in FF.net.
----
!!This fanfic provides examples of the next tropes:
* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: Dark Mark disregards both Supergirl's death at Anti-Monitor's hands and her relationship with Brainiac 5 in favor of hooking her up with Dev-Em.
* AchillesInHisTent: After the Apokolyptian War, Kara wants nothing more than to retire. So, when the Legion asks her help again, her first impulse is turning them down.
* AdultFear: Satan Girl’s taken to an unknown place and put to sleep. When she comes around, she knows her child’s been stolen.
* AGodIAm:
** Satan Girl often expresses a desire to force entire civilizations to worship her.
-->She could become a goddess to an unsophisticated planet's people. Drinking in their worship, demanding sacrifice.
** She also plans to force people to kneel before her child.
--->So I'm going to do something first, just to get the kinks out. I'm going to find me a planet, one with people on it, lots and lots of people. And I'm going to kill them all. Then I'm going to another planet, and kill just, maybe, half of them. And I'll make the ones who live worship me. By the time I find my child, he may be the object of a new religion. Wouldn't that be nice, Kara?
* AGodIAmNot: Earth people refer to the folks of New Genesis as New Gods, an appellative Highfather doesn't care for.
-->Izaya rumbled, "That is the phrase some of our younger ones used for the capital city of our world. As for ‘Forever People', it is simply a term Orion once used in derision towards Moonrider's family group, which they adopted. Just as we are known among some of your kind as... 'New Gods'." Highfather looked discomfited by the phrase.
* AlienSky: Planet Qward, where Supergirl and Stargirl battle for the final time, orbits around two suns.
-->The star-system of Qward had twin suns for the last thousand years. The new one was rather small, as stars go, but a star is a star, for all that.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Kara falls for Dev-Em, a reformed bully and delinquent who is still kind of jerkass.
* AllThereInTheManual: Dark Mark provided [[http://dark_mark.tripod.com/hellsmet.htm character]] [[http://dark_mark.tripod.com/apokolips_meta.html lists]] so nobody gets confused by the Pre-Crisis characters' backstories.
* AlternateUniverse: A reality similar to Earth-One which was born when the Anti-Monitor was defeated early on.
* AlternateUniverseFic: This universe was created when another Supergirl interfered with the battle between the Supergirl from Earth-One and the Anti-Monitor in [[http://dark_mark.tripod.com/dreamsmith.htm Kara and the Dreamsmith]].
* AndThenWhat: During their FinalBattle, Supergirl asks her doppelganger what she'll do after killing her. Satan Girl replies she'll figure out something:
-->'''Supergirl:''' What's the use of this, Satan Girl? There's nothing left for you. If you kill me... what's left for you to make a life from?\\
'''Satan Girl:''' I'll work that out afterward. Stop resisting me and I'll get to it sooner.
* AnythingThatMoves: Satan Girl isn't picky. Like, at all.
-->She could explore pleasures of the body that Kara never would have dared to, satisfy lusts that the blonde beast never even knew she had. She could force herself upon any suitor, male or female or whatever, and destroy them after their job was done.
* ApocalypticLog: In the first episode, Satan Girl assaults a starship. The crew manages to send a message right before being destroyed.
-->Within seconds, she was in outer space. Her course was set to intercept that of a massive United Planets patrol ship.\\
A message was shortly received at the headquarters of the United Planets. It was the last one they would get from that particular starship.\\
The message stated that their craft was being destroyed by an unarmed woman. It was cut off before the end.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking:
** Mordru leads the Legion of Super-Villains and has the allegiance of Satan Girl and powerhouses like [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Black Adam]] because he can destroy any of them easily.
** In the second story, Darkseid declares himself leader of the alliance of villains after one-shooting Brainiac. No one, not even Lex Luthor, is brave or stupid enough to object.
* AxCrazy: Satan Girl finds world-scale mass murder and genocide funny.
* BadassBoast: Mordru delivers a lot of these. No villain, no matter how powerful, tries to challenge them.
-->'''Mordru:''' Show me what you can do.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' And if I do, what then?\\
'''Mordru:''' I could destroy you with greater ease than you could imagine. But you may be of use to me.
* BadassInDistress: Orion is kidnapped by Darkseid during the War.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace:
** Supergirl's ability to exist out of the boundaries of a planet comes up when she arrives in the 31st century.
--->When she had slowed enough, Supergirl simply winked out of warp-time and found herself back in orbital space. Her lungs automatically tried to breathe, found vacuum, and ceased action. Kara willed them subconsciously to retain what oxygen they contained.
** The Legionnaires can breathe in space thanks to their Flight Rings -and some of them like Supergirl because of their natural powers- but they still need additional devices to communicate with each other.
* BatmanGambit:
** Kara tricks Satan Girl into throwing her into a sun by playing possum. Right before her counterpart hurls her away, Kara turns her momentum against her.
** Previously she had challenged her to a battle in the anti-matter universe. Satan Girl pointed out she could stay outside until Kara returned or died. Kara essentially replied “I thought you wanted to kil me with your own hands. But I guess you're only a coward and pathetic copy of me. Oh, and have I mentioned we killed your lover?” It worked.
* BewareTheSuperman: Satan Girl shows how dangerous and terrifying it'd be a Pre-Crisis Kryptonian with nonexistent morals. She’ll head-butt a planetoid out of orbit only for amusement.
-->Kryptonians could survive in space without a suit. Was that not a pleasure? It certainly was. She could live her life between the stars, and never once need to breathe.\\
She could devastate planets, wipe them clean of life. Rebuild them at her whim.\\
She could tyrannize worlds, whole systems of planets, make them bow to her mighty hand, instantly execute anyone who dared protest--or just anybody she wanted to kill.\\
She could explore pleasures of the body that Kara never would have dared to, satisfy lusts that the blonde beast never even knew she had. She could force herself upon any suitor, male or female or whatever, and destroy them after their job was done. Or perhaps just maim them, so that they could never again do such a job for anyone else. Satan Girl smiled. Now that was being imaginative...\\
She could have children from those couplings, or kill them in the womb.\\
She could become a goddess to an unsophisticated planet's people. Drinking in their worship, demanding sacrifice.\\
All of this she could do, she would do, and more.\\
For Kryptonians and Daxamites were gods, off their homeworlds. They really were. What a pity their morality forced them not to realize that fact.\\
She clasped her bent knees to her chest and thought. The problem was, in this time, she was hardly unique. Billions of Kryptonians existed on Rokyn. Billions more Daxamites, with the same power, existed on Daxam. Luckily, there was only one prisoner still left in the Phantom Zone, that old poop Gazor, so there wasn't much competition there.\\
But, somehow, she'd have to do something about both planets. Daxam would be easy. A shower of leaden hail across its surface, and the dead would litter the ground in heaps beyond Hitler's and Stalin's dreams.\\
That world would stink of corpses for eons to come.\\
She laughed soundlessly.
* BigBad: In the first arc, Mordru. In the second one, Darkseid. In the third story, Darkseid again.
* BlessedWithSuck: Kara has great powers which she feels isolate them from normal humanity.
-->Mentally, she kicked herself. All this incredible power, she thought. The ability to fly faster than light, to exist in the vacuum of space, to pierce the time barrier and reappear whenever she wanted to, and most of the time she took that for granted. No wonder that so often, life was stupid, dull, and boring to her.\\
No wonder that she'd never really managed to fully give her heart, or her body, to anyone yet. How many potential mates could understand the power and needs of a Kryptonian?
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Satan Girl often ends blood-stained after every battle.
-->The woman in black returned to the palace and brought with her the corpse of the starship's captain. She had stained her costume with blood, and burned it clean with heat from her eyes after tossing the body at her host's feet.
* BodySurf: At some point, Drang -an old Supergirl's enemy- possesses Satan Girl.
* BoldlyComing: Clark and Lois get married at the beginning of the story. Their relationship is very... ''Spirited''.
* BondOneLiner: Supergirl before killing her dark counterpart:
--><Hellsister,> said Supergirl, <go to Hell.>
* BreakingAndBloodsucking: A variation. In the first chapter, Mordru visits Supergirl in her sleep and sucks the fragment of her soul which spawned [[EvilCounterpart Satan Girl]] from her.
* CainAndAbel: Supergirl and Satan Girl. Neither of them like each other. Still it's Satan Girl who wants to kill Supergirl. Kara is willing to accept her copy's existence as long as she doesn't commit crimes.
* CanonWelding: Several separate and unrelated stories are combined to create Satan Girl’s backstory: Red Kryptonite making Supergirl grow a second head in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #283, the birth of Satan Girl in ''Adventure Comics'' #313 and the appearance of ''[[ComicBook/DemonSpawn Nightflame]]'' in ''Adventure Comics'' #421.
-->She had been manifest two other times, in different guises. Once, Supergirl had been given a contentious second head by Red Kryptonite. That was her first known instance of consciousness. She had been bitchy then, but not evil. Not yet refined enough for that.\\
The second time had been her first outing as Satan Girl, and it had almost worked. Except for that stupid group of animals, it would have. Kara and the Legion bitches would have been dead, and she would have been extant from that time to this. She was evil then, but she hadn't really killed anyone.\\
The third time, she was manifest as Nightflame, a giant sword-wielding woman who wreaked havoc in San Francisco, born of her old identity and some other elements added from Kara's psyche, amplified by a mage who existed in a sub-atomic universe on a world somehow within Kara. Even she was confused by that one, and didn't comprehend it all. She supposed that the sword and magic came from those Moorcock novels that Kara had run through once. That time, she had very nearly taken over Kara's body. Only the girl's undeniably strong will, and some psychic help from her friend Geoff, had withstood her. So she had gone back into nonexistence.
* CatFight: In Supergirl/Satan Girl final battle, everything is allowed. Including cat-fighting.
-->They tumbled away from the gravitational pull of the planet they had landed on, and kept fighting in the void. They smashed at each other, kicked, chopped, and catfought, and each of their blows would have torn the side out of a mountain. Both of them worked at speeds which would have made them a blur to an observer, had there been any.
* ChristmasCake: Brought up by Mrs. Berkowitz, who is worried her twenty-year-old tenant Linda Danvers is clinging to a guy she just met because she's afraid of becoming an old maid.
-->"I see a nice woman like you. 29 and you ain't never been with a man. Am I right?"\\
"That's right," nodded Linda. "Not... before Dev, that is."\\
"So you know this man? How?"\\
Linda drew a breath. "I know this man very well, Mrs. B. A lot more than you'd believe?"\\
"Oh? You do? How, Linda?" She held up her hands again to stop Linda's reply. "Listen to me. Yesterday you go to Mr. Clark Kent's wedding, the nice man whom you met in Metropolis when you was in the orphanage. You were excited, sure, but not like you are today. I even think you were a little sad. Now, today, you're up in the air, your feet don't touch the ground unless they're anchored. You say you met him after the wedding."\\
"That's correct," Linda said.\\
"In other words, this gentleman sweeps you off your feet just after you see two people get married, and you're maybe thinking that you're never going to go to your own wedding in your lifetime. Also correct?"\\
Linda opened her mouth. No words came out.\\
Ida Berkowitz looked at Linda with some pity.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Desaad is an expert torturer. He gets his hands on Pariah, and if he can't force the information out of him physically, he has mind-breaking machines aplenty.
-->That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.\\
Pariah could not rise from his chair, held as he was by a stasis beam that paralyzed his lower body. Whatever he faced, he could not get up and walk away from it. Perhaps it would not have helped.\\
Desaad had clamped a helmet over his head. It transmitted images from his brain to a receiver, which the master torturer of Apokolips manipulated like an orchestra conductor. He picked and chose among the scenes of Pariah's life, helped along by a gauge which glowed more redly when it registered a pattern of fear in a certain remembrance.\\
The images were recorded and stored in the device's memory bank. Then Desaad began to fiddle with them, for he was an artist, and artists always reshape reality to their best intent. Some of the images were made more subtly frightening. Others were enlarged so as to knock down the viewer's mind with fear coming at him like a diesel train.
* CombatSadomasochist: Slaughter and destruction turn Satan Girl on. After smashing a ship to pieces she feels so aroused than she needs sex.
* ComesGreatResponsibility: The reason because Superman thinks his cousin shouldn't go on retirement:
-->'''Superman:''' What I'm trying to remind her of is that our powers place us in a certain position. And it's one of obligation. No one on Earth can do what we can, and very often, to protect it and other planets, we are required to do everything we're capable of.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: During a battle Superman, Supergirl and Dev-Em face 1,000 Parademons. Easy peasy.
* CruelToBeKind: When Kara vents her frustration and says aloud she just wants to be a normal girl from Argo City, Superman sadly remembers her it's not an option anymore.
-->'''Supergirl:''' But we don't have to go out there with our dukes up, spoiling for a fight. Do we, Kal?\\
'''Superman:''' No. Most of the time, it comes to us.\\
'''Supergirl:''' Well, it's gonna have to start coming somewhere else before long. I'm tired of this. I wasn't born to be a, a super-heroine. I just wanted to be a normal girl from Argo, and, and get a good job and a good man and settle down...\\
'''Superman:''' (gently) Except, there aren't very many people from Argo left anymore. Are there, Kara?\\
'''Supergirl:''' Oh.\\
'''Dev-Em:''' El, You have got the most peculiar set of proprieties I've ever seen. Why don't you just shove a Daxamite knife through her heart? Or would that be too kind?\\
'''Superman:''' What I'm trying to remind her of is that our powers place us in a certain position. And it's one of obligation. No one on Earth can do what we can, and very often, to protect it and other planets, we are required to do everything we're capable of.
* DeadlyDodging: When Satan Girl is about to hurl Supergirl into an antimatter sun, Kara uses her momentum against her to throw her into the star instead.
* DeadpanSnarker: Dan Turpin, as per canon:
-->'''Dan:''' Then call him and tell him to get his big blue bod to my precinct, on the double. Orion and his boys are back. And I don't want any more of my turf torn up like it was last time they were here. So get him here, so they can get out. Got it?\\
'''Jimmy Olsen:''' Uh. Orion? The guy from the New Gods?\\
'''Dan:''' No, I mean Paddy O'Ryan from County Cork. Of course, it's Orion from the New Gods! Now do it! Goodbye.
* DealWithTheDevil: Satan Girl is locked up in an inescapable cell when she hears a voice asking if she wishes freedom. She agrees before asking who the voice’s owner is and what it wants in exchange. Darkseid breaks her free, teleports her to his location, puts her to sleep and "harvests" her child.
* DeathByAdaptation: Brainiac gets killed off instead of Earth-Two Luthor in the gathering of villains.
* DeathWorld: In the universe of anti-matter of Qward, ''every atom'' can hurt you or even kill you. Not even Kryptonians are safe.
* DefendsAgainstTheirOwnKind: Once the Legion figure out they're dealing with a Kryptonian clone, they call Supergirl and send her, Dev-Em and Laurel Kent out.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: Subverted. Satan Girl's desire to rape both men and women is regarded as equally horrible.
-->She could force herself upon any suitor, male or female or whatever, and destroy them after their job was done.
* TheDragon: Satan Girl is Mordru's dragon.
* TheDreaded:
** Both Legionnaires and villains are frightened of Mordru and unwilling to face him.
** No one wants or looks forward to fight Darkseid either.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: The scene from ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' issue #9 where Brainiac assembles a legion of super-villains is recreated, but this time it's Brainiac the one who dies unceremoniously.
* DuelToTheDeath: Supergirl and Satan Girl's final battle. Satan Girl wishes nothing but Supergirl's destruction by her hand, and Supergirl can't let her hurt anybody else (and would like staying alive).
* EntertaininglyWrong: Linda Danvers' landlady, Mrs. Berkowitz believes Linda's new boyfriend is a shady, random guy who twenty-nine-year-old Linda has just met and clung to because she's afraid of becoming a "Christmas Cake". A sensible conclusion, furthered by the couple's secretive attitude and their unwillingness to answer simple questions like "Where does he come from?" or "Where does he work?". She's still wrong because they can't just tell her "He's a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes who I met and fell in love with several weeks ago in the 31st century".
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Satan Girl is literally an embodiment of dark impulses and desires. World-scale destruction, killing sprees and rape ''turn her on''. Still, she's devastated when she finds out her child has been stolen.
-->Kara said, <Tell me about your child. How is it you know he is gone?>\\
Satan Girl hesitated. For once, Kara saw something other than hatred in her eyes. Even one such as her Hellsister could feel sorrow.
* EvilCounterpart: Satan Girl from Supergirl.
-->"All I knew at the time was that I had a fainting spell," said Supergirl. "While I was out, the real Red K effect came through. The thing... it..." She fumbled for words, then burst out: "I was cloned! It cloned me, and the clone was, well, my evil side. My dark side. And it was just as real as... as real as me."
* EvilLaughter: Variant. Satan Girl does this telepathically.
-->Satan Girl looked at her for a second, then threw back her head, opened her mouth wide, and sent forth the blips through her telepathic plug that signified laughter.
* EvilMeScaresMe: Kara is ''terrified'' from Satan Girl.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Dev-Em doesn't look forward to go back in time to visit Kara. As far as he is concerned, he'll never fit in with primitive 21st century Earth.
* FutureMeScaresMe: During Clark and Lois' wedding Kara sees ComicBook/PowerGirl, who is still wearing black and mourning her own cousin, and is frightened at the possibility of finding herself in the shoes of the Supergirl of Earth-Two.
* GladToBeAliveSex: Kara and Dev engage in this after surviving the War against Mordru.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Kara and Dev, Clark and Lois… have healthy, passionate sex lives. Satan Girl and Mordru’s sex is noisy, loveless and icky.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Satan Girl and Mordru's son.
* HappilyMarried:
** Clark and Lois get married at the beginning of the story. Clark gushes over his blessed married life.
** Diana is delighted to be married to Steve Trevor.
--->We have been blessed, Kara. If I had known I'd be this happy in Steve's arms... well, let us just say that, for the sake of the villains I had to fight all these years, it was a good thing for the world that I didn't find out sooner. I know Kal has been just as pleasured by his marriage to Lois. Even Hal and Oliver show more optimism than strain these days. We are finally doing things for ourselves now, and not just for the world.
* HatesBeingAlone: In the beginning, Kara is feeling very lonely. Her birth parents live in another galaxy, her adoptive parents are barely there, and she can't keep a steady relationship. Clark and Lois' wedding rubbed salt into the wound.
-->Mom and Dad. Half a galaxy away, in a world that was out of phase with her universe right now.\\
Foster Mom and Dad, in Midvale, almost as distant from her emotionally as her real parents were physically.\\
And those damned flowers from somebody else's wedding.\\
Then she took her bath, went to bed, and slept, crying only a few tears in the process.
* HeroicSecondWind: After getting beaten to a pulp by Satan Girl, Supergirl recovers and hurls her into a star.
-->Supergirl grabbed Satan Girl by the legs, added her own momentum to the force of Satan Girl's super-throw, whirled them around several times like two partners on a trapeze bar, and flung her enemy down towards the thrusting fingers of the solar prominence.\\
The worst part of it was seeing the grin of determination on Kara's bloodied face as she threw her.
* HoistHeroOverhead: Satan Girl lifts Kara when she's going to hurl her into a star.
-->Then she lifted her overhead and threw her with all her force.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: Satan Girl attempts to throw Supergirl into a anti-matter sun. Kara throws her instead.
-->Supergirl grabbed Satan Girl by the legs, added her own momentum to the force of Satan Girl's super-throw, whirled them around several times like two partners on a trapeze bar, and flung her enemy down towards the thrusting fingers of the solar prominence.\\
The worst part of it was seeing the grin of determination on Kara's bloodied face as she threw her.\\
Satan Girl heard one last sending before she hit the plasma.\\
<Hellsister,> said Supergirl, <go to Hell.>\\
Kara pulled up, flying away at an angle, keeping herself beyond the event horizon of what was to come with the last shred of power she had. But she knew that she had to avoid the blast area. She trained her super-vision on the hurtling woman in black, even as she flew away.\\
The villainess hit the anti-plasma.\\
There was a look of confusion on Satan Girl's face as she exploded.\\
Her positive-matter structure was instantly annihilated by an equivalent mass of anti-matter in the solar prominence. It flattened part of the plasma-storm a bit, made for a more spectacular sight, and disintegrated a small bit of antisolar matter.\\
But that was all right. There was enough antimatter in the star to spare.\\
It didn't take that much of it to kill a Satan Girl.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: After so many battles Supergirl is getting tired of it all and expresses her desire to live like a normal woman:
-->'''Supergirl:''' But I'm... oh, Sheol, I'm so tired of all this stuff. Fight after fight after fight. We save the universe, we kill Mordru, we kill Satan Girl, we come back, and here somebody throws Darkseid in our face again. Can't there ever be an end to it? [...] Well, it's gonna have to start coming somewhere else before long. I'm tired of this. I wasn't born to be a, a super-heroine. I just wanted to be a normal girl from Argo, and, and get a good job and a good man and settle down...
* {{ILLKILLYOU}}: Satan Girl to Supergirl after her child has been taken away.
-->"Get up," said a familiar voice.\\
Kara roused herself, looked up, saw the speaker not twelve feet away.\\
"They took my baby," said Satan Girl, her face belying her rage. "And now, I'm going to take your life."
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Satan Girl and Mordru's first time fornicating makes Mordru's castle tremble.
-->He took her there on the carpet before his throne.\\
The castle shook with the throes of their pleasure.\\
And the cries of her consummation shattered windows all over the structure.
* ImmuneToBullets: Both Supergirl and her evil clone can't be damaged by bullets.
* InnocentBystander: Satan Girl's first action was killing off the crew of a United Planets starship. Her second action was smashing into pieces a pleasure cruiser full of innocent civilians because it ''aroused'' her.
* InSpiteOfANail: The Anti-Monitor is defeated, but even so an army of villains come together to conquer several realities.
* ItAmusedMe: Satan Girl's main motivation. She kills people because it entertains her.
* ItsAllMyFault: Kara blames herself for everything her clone does.
-->'''Supergirl:''' Okay. I'm ready to intercept her. If she's killed 318 people already... that means I'm responsible for it, in a sense.
* JawDrop: Kara's reaction when she finds out Satan Girl has returned.
-->"Now--here I am," she said, taking a seat at the table. "I see you've got the Fatal Five out again. But you could probably handle them without me. And I've been brain-scanned twice in the last few minutes. It sounds like something's coming up for me, specifically. Why did you summon me?"\\
"Because of this," said Brainiac, and thumbed the controller again. The image of a masked woman came up on one of the holoscreens.\\
Supergirl dropped her jaw.\\
"Her!" she said, after she found her voice. "Great Rao, after all these years...her!"
* JoinOrDie: When he's putting his army together, Mordru gives his prospect recruits the choice to follow him or die right away.
-->'''Mordru:''' I am gathering a strike force to confound or destroy my enemies. Though my power dwarfs that of any single being, I cannot function in many places at once... not with full coordination of purpose. I have brought you here to work as some of my agents. Accede, and great wealth and power shall be given you. That, and the lives of your old enemies, whom I will send you against. Refuse, and you die on the spot. Make your decision.
* KilledMidSentence: Darkseid murders Brainiac while the latter is speaking.
-->Brainiac's metallic hand was already raised. "The decision for leader is mine," said the robotic being. "But you are correct. We do not need two--"\\
That was as far as Brainiac got.\\
A blinding bolt of light shot through his chair and body, melting a great hole in his midsection.
* KlingonPromotion: Brainiac assembles an army of villains and appoints himself leader. Then Darkseid kills him off and declares himself leader. No one contests his claim.
-->Brainiac's metallic hand was already raised. "The decision for leader is mine," said the robotic being. "But you are correct. We do not need two--"\\
That was as far as Brainiac got.\\
A blinding bolt of light shot through his chair and body, melting a great hole in his midsection. The lights in his eye-pieces sputtered and died. His upper section toppled over, banging onto his feet and rolling to a stop. His lower torso and feet remained seated.\\
Both Luthors gaped. So did most of the people in the room.\\
A newcomer had arrived. Many of them recognized him.\\
"He was incorrect," said the new arrival. "We did not need him. Now you have me."\\
Luthor of Earth-One swallowed. He couldn't force a smile, but he did try to be casual as he said, "Pleasure to have you back."\\
The new leader began to address his troops.
* KryptoniteFactor: Satan Girl considers her options to exterminate the inhabitants of Daxam and Rokyn: lead for Daxamites and magic for Kryptonians since Kryptonite will not work in a red-sun world, except for a hard-to-make variety.
* LastOfHisKind: Inverted. Satan Girl is aware of the existence of Rokynians and Daxamites with her same powers, so she decides the proper course of action is exterminating them all so nobody can challenge her.
* LastSecondChance: Kara vows to help Satan Girl look for her child if she stops fighting her. Satan Girl replies she can find her offspring on her own.
-->'''Supergirl:''' You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: A Dark Mark's staple. Most of characters of the Pre-Crisis DC multiverse make one appearance at the very least.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Kara feels smitten with Dev-Em as soon as he shows up.
-->The man was about Kara's age, brown-haired, handsome in a James Deanish way, dressed in a simple green costume, and quite confident in manner. Despite herself, Kara caught her breath. He was... interesting.
* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: While Clark and Lois are in their honeymoon, Clark takes advantage of his powers to take his wife anywhere in the planet.
* ManipulativeBastard: Satan Girl exploits Mordru's lewdness to make herself slightly less expendable.
* ManOfKryptonite: Darkseid uses the Kryptonite Man to set a trap for his Kryptonian enemies. It nearly succeeds, but Lightray saves them from Kryptonite Man.
-->'''Lightray:''' The green man. He is one of your old foes?\\
'''Supergirl:''' One of Kal's [...] The guy used to be known as the Kryptonite Kid. He went through a green Kryptonite cloud in space and absorbed its power. He can kill me, Kal, Dev, and anyone else from Krypton.
* MeanwhileInTheFuture: Pretty often. After a present-time scene where Mordru extracts Satan Girl from Kara, the narration shifts to the 31st century.
-->Ten centuries in the future, this will happen. Let us say that it did happen, to make our story easier to relate.
* MindProbe: Desaad uses one mind-scanning contraption to torture Pariah.
-->That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.
* MindRape: When Desaad realizes he can't physically torture information out of Pariah physically, he fetches his mind-breaking tools.
-->That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.
* MoodWhiplash: In the eleventh chapter of "The Agenda Apokolips", Desaad's torturing device blows up in his face, which gets soot-smudged. It's as funny as it sounds. Then Desaad assembles a mind-raping contraption.
* MundaneUtility:
** Superman finds a new use for his super-breath:
--->Clark Kent, in a black tux, held onto Lois with one arm, waved with the other, and winked at Linda. She smiled shyly at him. Linda didn't have to guess whose super-breath had guided those flowers just where he'd wanted them.
** Dev-Em uses his heat-vision to burn the sleep out of his eyes.
--->"Kara?", he mumbled, using heat-vision to get the sleep out of his eyes and hoping he didn't burn the furniture.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Superman's first reaction when he finds out about his cousin and Dev-Em's relationship is beating the former up. Since pummeling Dev pisses Kara off, though, Kal has no option but to grind his teeth and accept their relationship.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: Supergirl goads Satan Girl into fighting in the anti-matter universe. Satan Girl tries to not take the bait, but Kara knows which buttons to push.
-->Kara stopped at the warp-gate and looked behind her. Satan Girl had stopped as well, less than a mile behind her. To her credit, she wasn't stupid. She knew that Supergirl was leading her on. And, having Kara's memories, she knew where she was headed.\\
<That is the anti-matter universe,> sent Satan Girl.\\
<Oh, very good,> mocked Kara, smiling like a teacher tutoring her most backward pupil. <Now, if you'll just join me here, I can finish you right off.>\\
The villainess didn't budge. <It'll blow us both to bits if we touch any substance there without force-shields or matter-conversion,> she sent. <I can just wait you out. You'll come back, or you'll be atomized. Either way, I win.>\\
<Oh, will you?>, asked Kara. <I thought for certain that you wanted to tear me apart with your own hands. Except it hasn't been that easy, has it? Maybe you're just not up to it, after all... since you're just a pretty pathetic copy of me.>\\
Satan Girl's expression of hatred, which was about the only one she owned, intensified. <YOU...> she began, and that was all she could get out.\\
<Just one more thing, darling,> sent Kara. <I didn't want to have to tell you this, but we killed Mordru. He's dead. Hope you didn't get attached to him too much.>\\
At that, Supergirl knew she had succeeded.
* NoEndorHolocaust:
** The narrator makes sure to remark that Supergirl and Satan Girl's final battle happens in an uninhabited solar system.
--->The dark and light half of Kara were smashing each other across the unfamiliar solar system they now occupied.
** Brought up by Dan Turpin. In order to avoid another "New Gods tearing each other apart and Metropolis down" scenario, he gets in touch with Jimmy Olsen to tell him to get Superman quickly.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In the final battle, Satan Girl lays a brutal beat-down onto Supergirl.
-->And with that, she cracked a blow to Kara's face that broke her nose.\\
The static-shriek of pain in the telepathic plug was a sonata to Satan Girl. Smiling for the first time in minutes, she followed with another wallop, and another, and another. Four unanswered blows. Kara tried to resist, but her defense was fading.\\
Satan Girl pounded her. Over and over again.\\
[...]\\
<Kara?>\\
Satan Girl hesitated. She had been laying into Supergirl like a butcher on a steer. But she had been so busy in her fantasy that she had taken no notice of what she had really done.\\
Supergirl was not moving.\\
Satan Girl smashed her a few more times, just to make sure. Then she listened for a heartbeat.\\
Nothing.
* NotAMorningPerson: Kara really ''hates'' to wake up early.
-->Linda woke, feeling rested but somewhat woozy, and chalked it up to her usual morning blahs. Supergirl or not, she hated rolling out of bed at 7 a.m.
* NoRomanticResolution: Kara and Dev-Em's relationship was never given a final resolution. ''Fanfic/SupermanOf2499TheGreatConfrontation'' by the same author reveals they had two children but the relationship ended up in heartbreak, Kara never changed her maiden name and there're no records registering their marriage.
* OmnicidalManiac: Satan Girl destroys worlds for fun.
* OneManArmy: Many heroes and villains fit the description, but Berserker stands out:
-->From one, a moving image sprang forth. A rapidly-moving figure, tearing through the machinery and soldiers of a well-equipped army. Just one man against a horde, and within minutes, that man had won.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Lex Luthor of Earth-One can't stand his Earth-Two counterpart; as far as he's concerned, the other Luthor is an ingrate who hasn't gone through his same losses and is unable to appreciate how lucky he is.
-->"Listen now to Luthor of Earth-One," said Brainiac, whose face resembled nothing less than a metallic death's-head. "He shall be our field commander. We have the worlds within our grasp. It is our time, now."\\
"Wait one bloody second!", said one attendee, an older man with red hair. "Who appointed that second-rate lab-rat our spokesman?"\\
Lex Luthor of Earth-One turned, his warsuit primed for action. He recognized the voice. It was his Earth-Two counterpart, the older Luthor who had fought that Earth's Superman. His Man of Steel was dead now, killed in the Crisis. He had never lost his hair. He had never lost a wife or son. On top of that, he had even worked with the Earth-One Luthor, in a joint effort against the two Supermen.\\
The man was a damned ingrate, and Lex was fully in favor of wiping him out with an energy bolt.
* PairTheSpares: After Kara and Dev get together, Brainiac 5 seems to be left out in the cold... and then he hooks up with Laurel Kent.
* PeopleJars: Darkseid's minions shoved Satan Girl into one after extracting her baby.
-->'''Satan Girl:''' A woman knows when she no longer carries a child. I know not who took it from me. I was liberated from the prison you had placed me in. The one who took me from it placed me in a coma before I could see his face. I awoke in a large tube, with a red-sun lamp above me and my arms' veins pierced with nutriment tubes. My child was gone... That was all I was wanted for. I tore the needles from my arms and opened the tube's hatch. There was no one in the chamber.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Satan Girl's son has razed whole worlds.
-->A 3-dimensional hologram sprang into being just over their heads. It picked out a portion of the Milky Way Galaxy, then drew in on several planets in distant but related solar systems. From each planet, in turn, images of carnage, wreckage, destruction emerged. Kara and Dev gazed at them. True, they weren’t strangers to sights such as these. But, still...\\
From one, a moving image sprang forth. A rapidly-moving figure, tearing through the machinery and soldiers of a well-equipped army. Just one man against a horde, and within minutes, that man had won.
* PlayingPossum: Kara artificially stops her heartbeats while Satan Girl is pounding on her, so tricking her counterpart into lowering her guard.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** Kara describes her feelings eloquently when she's told that the Legion needs her still again because Mordru and Satan Girl's son is serving Darkseid.
--->'''Star Boy:''' But you can see why we wanted you on board for this one.\\
'''Supergirl:''' Frab.\\
'''Laurel:''' Yeah. My sentiments exactly.
** Supergirl before killing her dark counterpart:
---><Hellsister,> said Supergirl, <go to Hell.>
* PreClimaxClimax: In "Hellspawn" episode 2, Kara and Dev have pre-mission sex just in case.
-->She stood up. “I’ll give you my answer in bed.”\\
He got to his feet. “Probably be the best answer I’ll get all week.”\\
“Maybe not, if you’re lucky.” She took his hand again and they headed for the downlift. “But it might be our last chance for a while.”\\
And if we’re not lucky this time, she thought, it might be the last chance in our lives.
* ThePromise: Supergirl promises Satan Girl to help her find her baby if she stops fighting. Satan Girl tells her to shove it.
-->But my child is still alive... I can sense that. I just do not know where he is.\\
'''Supergirl:''' You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight.
* PsychicLink: By the end, both Kara and her clone have developed some kind of mind-link.
-->Satan Girl looked at her for a second, then threw back her head, opened her mouth wide, and sent forth the blips through her telepathic plug that signified laughter.
* PubliclyDiscussingTheSecret: Linda Danvers and her adoptive parents attend Clark and Lois' wedding. During the reception, Fred tries to talk his daughter into introduce him to the Leaguers, although he's clever enough to use deliberate euphemisms such like "the team" or "the Gotham guy".
* RoguesGallery: Lampshaded by Dev-Em after his bout with the Kryptonite-Man:
-->'''Dev-Em:''' Oh, Sheol. What a headache. El, tell me. Was that another one of your unending parade of people who want you dead?\\
'''Superman:''' As a matter of fact, it was, Dev. I can lend you a few, if you'd like to take them home with you.
* SanDimasTime: Discussed. Kara knows she can technically spend as long as she wants in the 31st century, but she feels she needs to get back to her normal life.
-->He was only wearing white shorts and was half-covered by the sheet of the bed in her room at Legion Headquarters. "You're really going back today?"\\
Kara Zor-El walked back into the bedchamber. Hairbrush still in one hand, she bent and hugged him. "I have to, Devian. I still live in the 20th Century. Got to get to work. I was on my way there when the Legion summoned me." She felt the firmness of his naked chest against her and was very glad she had become his lover. Her empty hand stroked the contours of his back. His arms were holding her as well, and she bit her lip to keep passion from overruling judgment.\\
She could stay with him for a year here, easily. Two years. Longer. But she had a life, otherwhen, and she had to get back to it.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Interactions between Superman and Dev-Em usually come down to this:
-->'''Dev-Em:''' Oh, Sheol. What a headache. El, tell me. Was that another one of your unending parade of people who want you dead?\\
'''Superman:''' As a matter of fact, it was, Dev. I can lend you a few, if you'd like to take them home with you.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Lex Luthor of Earth-Two, killed off by Brainiac in the original canon, survives thanks to Darkseid.
* SuperBreath: Superman makes a quite humorous display of it:
-->Clark Kent, in a black tux, held onto Lois with one arm, waved with the other, and winked at Linda. She smiled shyly at him. Linda didn't have to guess whose super-breath had guided those flowers just where he'd wanted them.
* SuperSpeed: Supergirl displays this power in the first chapter when she travels to the future by flying faster than light.
-->Within five seconds, she performed her ablutions in the bathroom, did her hair and makeup, zipped on deodorant and a mild perfume, threw on her Supergirl uniform, and was out of the building at super-speed.\\
The air friction formed a corona of fire around her as she streaked invisibly through the skies. She ignored it.\\
Supergirl burst out of the ionosphere, vibrating at a certain frequency, still accelerating. An IFF device in her belt identified her to American and Russian radar trackers as the Girl of Steel, not an ICBM. They only registered her for a few seconds, anyway.\\
The reaches of near-space gave way to the unsettling kaleidoscope of time-flux. It wasn't that hard to do, Kara reflected, if you knew how and had enough power and speed to do it Superman had had to drill her for a week before she could pop out with pinpoint accuracy at a targeted time.\\
A subseries of flight ring pulses signalled to her the date and time from which the alert was being sent. She rocketed on, well past the speed of light.\\
[...]\\
The red-caped woman sighed without breath, reduced velocity to Mach 12, and sped into the atmosphere.
* TailorMadePrison: Satan Girl is shackled and locked up in a prison cube. The walls are made of inertron and there's trace of Kryptonite in her shackles.
-->Within her prison cube, Satan Girl seethed. Even at her full power, these metal walls would be proof against her. And, thanks to the trace of Kryptonite in her shackles, she was hardly at her full power.
* TalkingInBed: At the beginning of "Apokolips Now", Scott Free wakes up at night. His wife Barda asks if he's having nightmares again. He replies is having another kind of bad dreams... such like Darkseid watching them.
* TechnicalPacifist: Kara and the Legion actually try to imprison Satan Girl... then she is released, makes clear she won't stop until seeing Kara dead, and Supergirl is forced to fight to the death.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Superman and Dev-Em don't like each other. Like, ''at all''. Dev-Em bullied Kal-El when he was ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, attempted to frame up him for vandalism and got away with it. He's reformed since, but he's still a jerkass, and he's dating Superman's beloved cousin. Yet still they try to fight together during the War, albeit it's clear they can't stand each other.
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: Supergirl and Satan Girl fight each other for the last time. Supergirl offers to help her evil counterpart find her missing child if Satan Girl stops fighting, but Satan Girl rebukes her: they're doomed to fight until there's only one left.
--><Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister,> sneered the dark woman. <I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight. You would not tolerate my existence, nor I yours. I am not capable of your empathy, of your petty virtue. You are not capable of my ruthlessness and power. Come, sister. Let us destroy each other.>
* ThouShaltNotKill: Subverted. Supergirl has to face up to the likes of her own evil counterpart, Mordru and Darkseid, so she's willing to break her rule.
* TimeTravel: Supergirl travels several times to the future.
* TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Simultaneously played straight and lampshaded by the narrator in the first chapter.
-->Ten centuries in the future, this will happen. Let us say that it did happen, to make our story easier to relate.
* TroubledButCute: Dev-Em is a former bully, reformed delinquent and still a jerkass whom Kara finds charming and handsome.
* TroubledFetalPosition: Kara adopts this position when the Legion turns up to ask for help still again.
-->She sighed and crouched, her elbows on her knees and her hands hiding her face. "I. Am. Just. Getting. So. Damned. Tired."
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Discussed when Berserker thinks he can just gut Orion and Darkseid warns him that underestimating their enemies is downright foolish.
-->'''Berserker:''' I would like to meet him, in Armagetto or any other place. I would take his Astro-Force and force it into his guts, before I ripped his body asunder.\\
'''Darkseid:''' Underestimating my first son’s power would be like unto underestimating my own. All too many battles are lost thru one’s own arrogance, and thru underestimation of the enemy. This will not be done. Agreed?
* UnresolvedSexualTension: There was a good amount of attraction between Kara Zor-El and fellow Kryptonian survivor and Legionnaire Dev-Em, whom Kara found attractive but kind of a jerkass.
* UnstoppableRage: Satan Girl pounces on Kara furiously when she finds out about Mordru's death, pummeling Supergirl almost to death.
-->At that, Supergirl knew she had succeeded. Probably a little more than she wanted.\\
Satan Girl surged forward like an express train, her arms outstretched, and Kara flew through the warp.\\
In two more seconds, they were at war again, and Satan Girl vowed that she would destroy Supergirl before the anti-matter got anywhere near them.
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: Inverted. Darkseid steals Satan Girl and Mordru's son and raises him into a pitiless, blood-thirsty, invincible killing machine.
* VillainTeamUp: Mordru bullies Satan Girl and an army of villains into serving him. And at the beginning of "Apokolips Now", Brainiac and Lex Luthor are trying to put together an army of villains:
-->"Our foe, the Anti-Monitor, has fled or has died. Not even I can detect his presence, either in our universe, or in his. My calculations must be true. The Crisis he created is over. But great unsettlement remains. We all crave power, for various reasons. Now is the time to strike. Not even the heroes of the five remaining Earths can withstand our combined power."\\
Not all of those who listened to Brainiac nodded, but most knew the truth of that. Super-villains outnumbered super-heroes by a factor no one had yet calculated. If they all struck at once, in coordinated effort, little could be beyond their grasp. Better yet, within their grasp might be the lives of those heroes who had opposed them, defeated them, imprisoned them.
* VillainTeleportation: Mordru uses his teleportational spells to move his pawns around.
-->The bolt of power which had freed the Fatal Five had also transported them to Zerox, the Sorcerors' World. Now Tharok, Mano, Emerald Empress, the Persuader, and the mighty Validus stood before their benefactor.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Neither Superman nor Kara's adoptive parents understand why a sweet, kind-hearted, mature woman like Kara fell in love with a rude ass like Dev-Em.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', Power Girl and the JSA are wondering what happened to their super-villains. Here it's revealed they were forcefully recruited by Darkseid.
* WhenSheSmiles: Dev-Em cites Kara has a beautiful smile.
-->She turned and smiled at him. Her smile, he thought, had power enough to illuminate the darkness between Earth and Aldebaran.
* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Satan Girl intends to destroy all surviving Kryptonians so no one can challenge her.
* WindowsOfTheSoul: Satan Girl and Berserker’s eyes show their lack of restrain or conscience.
-->The focus of the image came back to the lone warrior, or berserker, or... hell, just call him a murderer. His visage was less distinct than those of the Apokolips pair, probably because the computer didn’t have a model from which to work. Still... the eyes. She could make out enough of them to see something there, a fury, a lack of conscience, a lack of superego with which to restrain the id.\\
Eyes that, in another face, could have belonged to Satan Girl.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Discussed when Supergirl wonders how long she has spent in the future.
-->Briefly, she wondered how much of her life she'd spent in the 30th Century. Linda guessed that, if she took that time into account, she could probably celebrate her birthday six months early. Well, at least she could return in time to only a few seconds after she departed. That way she wouldn't be late for work.
* YouExclamation: Satan Girl when Supergirl calls her a weak, pathetic copy.
--><Oh, will you?>, asked Kara. <I thought for certain that you wanted to tear me apart with your own hands. Except it hasn't been that easy, has it? Maybe you're just not up to it, after all... since you're just a pretty pathetic copy of me.>\\
Satan Girl's expression of hatred, which was about the only one she owned, intensified. <YOU...> she began, and that was all she could get out.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Hoping to avoid this scenario, Satan Girl seduces Mordru.
-->She might have to watch out for him, as well. If she were viewed as a tool, he might intend to simply use her and destroy her once the job was finished. How could she guard against that?
----
->'''Supergirl:''' Well, it's gonna have to start coming somewhere else before long. I'm tired of this. I wasn't born to be a, a super-heroine. I just wanted to be a normal girl from Argo, and, and get a good job and a good man and settle down...
----
"Because of this," said Brainiac, and thumbed the controller again. The image of a masked woman came up on one of the holoscreens.\\
Supergirl dropped her jaw.\\
"Her!" she said, after she found her voice. "Great Rao, after all these years...her!"\\
"Now you know why we need you," said Brainy, quietly.\\
[...]\\
"Satan Girl," breathed Kara. "Great Rao forgive us."
''Hellsister Trilogy'' is a ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' fanfic series by Dark Mark.
In an alternate timeline in where Supergirl fought the [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths Anti-Monitor]] and survived, she is making a life for herself in Earth society. However, several returning enemies as well as Darkseid going ahead with his plans to enslave all sentient beings threaten to finish what the Anti-Monitor began.
This story is told through of several story arcs:
* ''Hellsister'': Supergirl returns to the future to team up with the ''ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}'' in an adventure which pits her against her evil doppelganger in a battle to the death, while Rokyn and Daxam face destruction and the Legion's mightiest foe threatens to command all the evil of the universe.
* ''The Apokolips Agenda'': Supergirl returns to the 20th Century to face one of the deadliest villains in the multiverse, and to aid the New Gods in their battle against him.
* ''Hellspawn'': In a time not her own, Supergirl must deal with the deadly menace of Darkseid, and the son of Satan Girl.
It can be read in [[http://members.tripod.com/Dark_Mark/darkmark1.htm Dark Mark's site]] and FF.net: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/258219/1/Supergirl-and-the-Legion-Hellsister here]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/713804/1/The-Apokolips-Agenda here]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12523112/1/Supergirl-Hellspawn here]]. After a long time without an update, a new chapter of "Hellspawn" has been posted in FF.net.
----
!!This fanfic provides examples of the next tropes:
* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: Dark Mark disregards both Supergirl's death at Anti-Monitor's hands and her relationship with Brainiac 5 in favor of hooking her up with Dev-Em.
* AchillesInHisTent: After the Apokolyptian War, Kara wants nothing more than to retire. So, when the Legion asks her help again, her first impulse is turning them down.
* AdultFear: Satan Girl’s taken to an unknown place and put to sleep. When she comes around, she knows her child’s been stolen.
* AGodIAm:
** Satan Girl often expresses a desire to force entire civilizations to worship her.
-->She could become a goddess to an unsophisticated planet's people. Drinking in their worship, demanding sacrifice.
** She also plans to force people to kneel before her child.
--->So I'm going to do something first, just to get the kinks out. I'm going to find me a planet, one with people on it, lots and lots of people. And I'm going to kill them all. Then I'm going to another planet, and kill just, maybe, half of them. And I'll make the ones who live worship me. By the time I find my child, he may be the object of a new religion. Wouldn't that be nice, Kara?
* AGodIAmNot: Earth people refer to the folks of New Genesis as New Gods, an appellative Highfather doesn't care for.
-->Izaya rumbled, "That is the phrase some of our younger ones used for the capital city of our world. As for ‘Forever People', it is simply a term Orion once used in derision towards Moonrider's family group, which they adopted. Just as we are known among some of your kind as... 'New Gods'." Highfather looked discomfited by the phrase.
* AlienSky: Planet Qward, where Supergirl and Stargirl battle for the final time, orbits around two suns.
-->The star-system of Qward had twin suns for the last thousand years. The new one was rather small, as stars go, but a star is a star, for all that.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Kara falls for Dev-Em, a reformed bully and delinquent who is still kind of jerkass.
* AllThereInTheManual: Dark Mark provided [[http://dark_mark.tripod.com/hellsmet.htm character]] [[http://dark_mark.tripod.com/apokolips_meta.html lists]] so nobody gets confused by the Pre-Crisis characters' backstories.
* AlternateUniverse: A reality similar to Earth-One which was born when the Anti-Monitor was defeated early on.
* AlternateUniverseFic: This universe was created when another Supergirl interfered with the battle between the Supergirl from Earth-One and the Anti-Monitor in [[http://dark_mark.tripod.com/dreamsmith.htm Kara and the Dreamsmith]].
* AndThenWhat: During their FinalBattle, Supergirl asks her doppelganger what she'll do after killing her. Satan Girl replies she'll figure out something:
-->'''Supergirl:''' What's the use of this, Satan Girl? There's nothing left for you. If you kill me... what's left for you to make a life from?\\
'''Satan Girl:''' I'll work that out afterward. Stop resisting me and I'll get to it sooner.
* AnythingThatMoves: Satan Girl isn't picky. Like, at all.
-->She could explore pleasures of the body that Kara never would have dared to, satisfy lusts that the blonde beast never even knew she had. She could force herself upon any suitor, male or female or whatever, and destroy them after their job was done.
* ApocalypticLog: In the first episode, Satan Girl assaults a starship. The crew manages to send a message right before being destroyed.
-->Within seconds, she was in outer space. Her course was set to intercept that of a massive United Planets patrol ship.\\
A message was shortly received at the headquarters of the United Planets. It was the last one they would get from that particular starship.\\
The message stated that their craft was being destroyed by an unarmed woman. It was cut off before the end.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking:
** Mordru leads the Legion of Super-Villains and has the allegiance of Satan Girl and powerhouses like [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Black Adam]] because he can destroy any of them easily.
** In the second story, Darkseid declares himself leader of the alliance of villains after one-shooting Brainiac. No one, not even Lex Luthor, is brave or stupid enough to object.
* AxCrazy: Satan Girl finds world-scale mass murder and genocide funny.
* BadassBoast: Mordru delivers a lot of these. No villain, no matter how powerful, tries to challenge them.
-->'''Mordru:''' Show me what you can do.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' And if I do, what then?\\
'''Mordru:''' I could destroy you with greater ease than you could imagine. But you may be of use to me.
* BadassInDistress: Orion is kidnapped by Darkseid during the War.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace:
** Supergirl's ability to exist out of the boundaries of a planet comes up when she arrives in the 31st century.
--->When she had slowed enough, Supergirl simply winked out of warp-time and found herself back in orbital space. Her lungs automatically tried to breathe, found vacuum, and ceased action. Kara willed them subconsciously to retain what oxygen they contained.
** The Legionnaires can breathe in space thanks to their Flight Rings -and some of them like Supergirl because of their natural powers- but they still need additional devices to communicate with each other.
* BatmanGambit:
** Kara tricks Satan Girl into throwing her into a sun by playing possum. Right before her counterpart hurls her away, Kara turns her momentum against her.
** Previously she had challenged her to a battle in the anti-matter universe. Satan Girl pointed out she could stay outside until Kara returned or died. Kara essentially replied “I thought you wanted to kil me with your own hands. But I guess you're only a coward and pathetic copy of me. Oh, and have I mentioned we killed your lover?” It worked.
* BewareTheSuperman: Satan Girl shows how dangerous and terrifying it'd be a Pre-Crisis Kryptonian with nonexistent morals. She’ll head-butt a planetoid out of orbit only for amusement.
-->Kryptonians could survive in space without a suit. Was that not a pleasure? It certainly was. She could live her life between the stars, and never once need to breathe.\\
She could devastate planets, wipe them clean of life. Rebuild them at her whim.\\
She could tyrannize worlds, whole systems of planets, make them bow to her mighty hand, instantly execute anyone who dared protest--or just anybody she wanted to kill.\\
She could explore pleasures of the body that Kara never would have dared to, satisfy lusts that the blonde beast never even knew she had. She could force herself upon any suitor, male or female or whatever, and destroy them after their job was done. Or perhaps just maim them, so that they could never again do such a job for anyone else. Satan Girl smiled. Now that was being imaginative...\\
She could have children from those couplings, or kill them in the womb.\\
She could become a goddess to an unsophisticated planet's people. Drinking in their worship, demanding sacrifice.\\
All of this she could do, she would do, and more.\\
For Kryptonians and Daxamites were gods, off their homeworlds. They really were. What a pity their morality forced them not to realize that fact.\\
She clasped her bent knees to her chest and thought. The problem was, in this time, she was hardly unique. Billions of Kryptonians existed on Rokyn. Billions more Daxamites, with the same power, existed on Daxam. Luckily, there was only one prisoner still left in the Phantom Zone, that old poop Gazor, so there wasn't much competition there.\\
But, somehow, she'd have to do something about both planets. Daxam would be easy. A shower of leaden hail across its surface, and the dead would litter the ground in heaps beyond Hitler's and Stalin's dreams.\\
That world would stink of corpses for eons to come.\\
She laughed soundlessly.
* BigBad: In the first arc, Mordru. In the second one, Darkseid. In the third story, Darkseid again.
* BlessedWithSuck: Kara has great powers which she feels isolate them from normal humanity.
-->Mentally, she kicked herself. All this incredible power, she thought. The ability to fly faster than light, to exist in the vacuum of space, to pierce the time barrier and reappear whenever she wanted to, and most of the time she took that for granted. No wonder that so often, life was stupid, dull, and boring to her.\\
No wonder that she'd never really managed to fully give her heart, or her body, to anyone yet. How many potential mates could understand the power and needs of a Kryptonian?
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Satan Girl often ends blood-stained after every battle.
-->The woman in black returned to the palace and brought with her the corpse of the starship's captain. She had stained her costume with blood, and burned it clean with heat from her eyes after tossing the body at her host's feet.
* BodySurf: At some point, Drang -an old Supergirl's enemy- possesses Satan Girl.
* BoldlyComing: Clark and Lois get married at the beginning of the story. Their relationship is very... ''Spirited''.
* BondOneLiner: Supergirl before killing her dark counterpart:
--><Hellsister,> said Supergirl, <go to Hell.>
* BreakingAndBloodsucking: A variation. In the first chapter, Mordru visits Supergirl in her sleep and sucks the fragment of her soul which spawned [[EvilCounterpart Satan Girl]] from her.
* CainAndAbel: Supergirl and Satan Girl. Neither of them like each other. Still it's Satan Girl who wants to kill Supergirl. Kara is willing to accept her copy's existence as long as she doesn't commit crimes.
* CanonWelding: Several separate and unrelated stories are combined to create Satan Girl’s backstory: Red Kryptonite making Supergirl grow a second head in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #283, the birth of Satan Girl in ''Adventure Comics'' #313 and the appearance of ''[[ComicBook/DemonSpawn Nightflame]]'' in ''Adventure Comics'' #421.
-->She had been manifest two other times, in different guises. Once, Supergirl had been given a contentious second head by Red Kryptonite. That was her first known instance of consciousness. She had been bitchy then, but not evil. Not yet refined enough for that.\\
The second time had been her first outing as Satan Girl, and it had almost worked. Except for that stupid group of animals, it would have. Kara and the Legion bitches would have been dead, and she would have been extant from that time to this. She was evil then, but she hadn't really killed anyone.\\
The third time, she was manifest as Nightflame, a giant sword-wielding woman who wreaked havoc in San Francisco, born of her old identity and some other elements added from Kara's psyche, amplified by a mage who existed in a sub-atomic universe on a world somehow within Kara. Even she was confused by that one, and didn't comprehend it all. She supposed that the sword and magic came from those Moorcock novels that Kara had run through once. That time, she had very nearly taken over Kara's body. Only the girl's undeniably strong will, and some psychic help from her friend Geoff, had withstood her. So she had gone back into nonexistence.
* CatFight: In Supergirl/Satan Girl final battle, everything is allowed. Including cat-fighting.
-->They tumbled away from the gravitational pull of the planet they had landed on, and kept fighting in the void. They smashed at each other, kicked, chopped, and catfought, and each of their blows would have torn the side out of a mountain. Both of them worked at speeds which would have made them a blur to an observer, had there been any.
* ChristmasCake: Brought up by Mrs. Berkowitz, who is worried her twenty-year-old tenant Linda Danvers is clinging to a guy she just met because she's afraid of becoming an old maid.
-->"I see a nice woman like you. 29 and you ain't never been with a man. Am I right?"\\
"That's right," nodded Linda. "Not... before Dev, that is."\\
"So you know this man? How?"\\
Linda drew a breath. "I know this man very well, Mrs. B. A lot more than you'd believe?"\\
"Oh? You do? How, Linda?" She held up her hands again to stop Linda's reply. "Listen to me. Yesterday you go to Mr. Clark Kent's wedding, the nice man whom you met in Metropolis when you was in the orphanage. You were excited, sure, but not like you are today. I even think you were a little sad. Now, today, you're up in the air, your feet don't touch the ground unless they're anchored. You say you met him after the wedding."\\
"That's correct," Linda said.\\
"In other words, this gentleman sweeps you off your feet just after you see two people get married, and you're maybe thinking that you're never going to go to your own wedding in your lifetime. Also correct?"\\
Linda opened her mouth. No words came out.\\
Ida Berkowitz looked at Linda with some pity.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Desaad is an expert torturer. He gets his hands on Pariah, and if he can't force the information out of him physically, he has mind-breaking machines aplenty.
-->That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.\\
Pariah could not rise from his chair, held as he was by a stasis beam that paralyzed his lower body. Whatever he faced, he could not get up and walk away from it. Perhaps it would not have helped.\\
Desaad had clamped a helmet over his head. It transmitted images from his brain to a receiver, which the master torturer of Apokolips manipulated like an orchestra conductor. He picked and chose among the scenes of Pariah's life, helped along by a gauge which glowed more redly when it registered a pattern of fear in a certain remembrance.\\
The images were recorded and stored in the device's memory bank. Then Desaad began to fiddle with them, for he was an artist, and artists always reshape reality to their best intent. Some of the images were made more subtly frightening. Others were enlarged so as to knock down the viewer's mind with fear coming at him like a diesel train.
* CombatSadomasochist: Slaughter and destruction turn Satan Girl on. After smashing a ship to pieces she feels so aroused than she needs sex.
* ComesGreatResponsibility: The reason because Superman thinks his cousin shouldn't go on retirement:
-->'''Superman:''' What I'm trying to remind her of is that our powers place us in a certain position. And it's one of obligation. No one on Earth can do what we can, and very often, to protect it and other planets, we are required to do everything we're capable of.
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: During a battle Superman, Supergirl and Dev-Em face 1,000 Parademons. Easy peasy.
* CruelToBeKind: When Kara vents her frustration and says aloud she just wants to be a normal girl from Argo City, Superman sadly remembers her it's not an option anymore.
-->'''Supergirl:''' But we don't have to go out there with our dukes up, spoiling for a fight. Do we, Kal?\\
'''Superman:''' No. Most of the time, it comes to us.\\
'''Supergirl:''' Well, it's gonna have to start coming somewhere else before long. I'm tired of this. I wasn't born to be a, a super-heroine. I just wanted to be a normal girl from Argo, and, and get a good job and a good man and settle down...\\
'''Superman:''' (gently) Except, there aren't very many people from Argo left anymore. Are there, Kara?\\
'''Supergirl:''' Oh.\\
'''Dev-Em:''' El, You have got the most peculiar set of proprieties I've ever seen. Why don't you just shove a Daxamite knife through her heart? Or would that be too kind?\\
'''Superman:''' What I'm trying to remind her of is that our powers place us in a certain position. And it's one of obligation. No one on Earth can do what we can, and very often, to protect it and other planets, we are required to do everything we're capable of.
* DeadlyDodging: When Satan Girl is about to hurl Supergirl into an antimatter sun, Kara uses her momentum against her to throw her into the star instead.
* DeadpanSnarker: Dan Turpin, as per canon:
-->'''Dan:''' Then call him and tell him to get his big blue bod to my precinct, on the double. Orion and his boys are back. And I don't want any more of my turf torn up like it was last time they were here. So get him here, so they can get out. Got it?\\
'''Jimmy Olsen:''' Uh. Orion? The guy from the New Gods?\\
'''Dan:''' No, I mean Paddy O'Ryan from County Cork. Of course, it's Orion from the New Gods! Now do it! Goodbye.
* DealWithTheDevil: Satan Girl is locked up in an inescapable cell when she hears a voice asking if she wishes freedom. She agrees before asking who the voice’s owner is and what it wants in exchange. Darkseid breaks her free, teleports her to his location, puts her to sleep and "harvests" her child.
* DeathByAdaptation: Brainiac gets killed off instead of Earth-Two Luthor in the gathering of villains.
* DeathWorld: In the universe of anti-matter of Qward, ''every atom'' can hurt you or even kill you. Not even Kryptonians are safe.
* DefendsAgainstTheirOwnKind: Once the Legion figure out they're dealing with a Kryptonian clone, they call Supergirl and send her, Dev-Em and Laurel Kent out.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: Subverted. Satan Girl's desire to rape both men and women is regarded as equally horrible.
-->She could force herself upon any suitor, male or female or whatever, and destroy them after their job was done.
* TheDragon: Satan Girl is Mordru's dragon.
* TheDreaded:
** Both Legionnaires and villains are frightened of Mordru and unwilling to face him.
** No one wants or looks forward to fight Darkseid either.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: The scene from ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' issue #9 where Brainiac assembles a legion of super-villains is recreated, but this time it's Brainiac the one who dies unceremoniously.
* DuelToTheDeath: Supergirl and Satan Girl's final battle. Satan Girl wishes nothing but Supergirl's destruction by her hand, and Supergirl can't let her hurt anybody else (and would like staying alive).
* EntertaininglyWrong: Linda Danvers' landlady, Mrs. Berkowitz believes Linda's new boyfriend is a shady, random guy who twenty-nine-year-old Linda has just met and clung to because she's afraid of becoming a "Christmas Cake". A sensible conclusion, furthered by the couple's secretive attitude and their unwillingness to answer simple questions like "Where does he come from?" or "Where does he work?". She's still wrong because they can't just tell her "He's a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes who I met and fell in love with several weeks ago in the 31st century".
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Satan Girl is literally an embodiment of dark impulses and desires. World-scale destruction, killing sprees and rape ''turn her on''. Still, she's devastated when she finds out her child has been stolen.
-->Kara said, <Tell me about your child. How is it you know he is gone?>\\
Satan Girl hesitated. For once, Kara saw something other than hatred in her eyes. Even one such as her Hellsister could feel sorrow.
* EvilCounterpart: Satan Girl from Supergirl.
-->"All I knew at the time was that I had a fainting spell," said Supergirl. "While I was out, the real Red K effect came through. The thing... it..." She fumbled for words, then burst out: "I was cloned! It cloned me, and the clone was, well, my evil side. My dark side. And it was just as real as... as real as me."
* EvilLaughter: Variant. Satan Girl does this telepathically.
-->Satan Girl looked at her for a second, then threw back her head, opened her mouth wide, and sent forth the blips through her telepathic plug that signified laughter.
* EvilMeScaresMe: Kara is ''terrified'' from Satan Girl.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Dev-Em doesn't look forward to go back in time to visit Kara. As far as he is concerned, he'll never fit in with primitive 21st century Earth.
* FutureMeScaresMe: During Clark and Lois' wedding Kara sees ComicBook/PowerGirl, who is still wearing black and mourning her own cousin, and is frightened at the possibility of finding herself in the shoes of the Supergirl of Earth-Two.
* GladToBeAliveSex: Kara and Dev engage in this after surviving the War against Mordru.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Kara and Dev, Clark and Lois… have healthy, passionate sex lives. Satan Girl and Mordru’s sex is noisy, loveless and icky.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Satan Girl and Mordru's son.
* HappilyMarried:
** Clark and Lois get married at the beginning of the story. Clark gushes over his blessed married life.
** Diana is delighted to be married to Steve Trevor.
--->We have been blessed, Kara. If I had known I'd be this happy in Steve's arms... well, let us just say that, for the sake of the villains I had to fight all these years, it was a good thing for the world that I didn't find out sooner. I know Kal has been just as pleasured by his marriage to Lois. Even Hal and Oliver show more optimism than strain these days. We are finally doing things for ourselves now, and not just for the world.
* HatesBeingAlone: In the beginning, Kara is feeling very lonely. Her birth parents live in another galaxy, her adoptive parents are barely there, and she can't keep a steady relationship. Clark and Lois' wedding rubbed salt into the wound.
-->Mom and Dad. Half a galaxy away, in a world that was out of phase with her universe right now.\\
Foster Mom and Dad, in Midvale, almost as distant from her emotionally as her real parents were physically.\\
And those damned flowers from somebody else's wedding.\\
Then she took her bath, went to bed, and slept, crying only a few tears in the process.
* HeroicSecondWind: After getting beaten to a pulp by Satan Girl, Supergirl recovers and hurls her into a star.
-->Supergirl grabbed Satan Girl by the legs, added her own momentum to the force of Satan Girl's super-throw, whirled them around several times like two partners on a trapeze bar, and flung her enemy down towards the thrusting fingers of the solar prominence.\\
The worst part of it was seeing the grin of determination on Kara's bloodied face as she threw her.
* HoistHeroOverhead: Satan Girl lifts Kara when she's going to hurl her into a star.
-->Then she lifted her overhead and threw her with all her force.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: Satan Girl attempts to throw Supergirl into a anti-matter sun. Kara throws her instead.
-->Supergirl grabbed Satan Girl by the legs, added her own momentum to the force of Satan Girl's super-throw, whirled them around several times like two partners on a trapeze bar, and flung her enemy down towards the thrusting fingers of the solar prominence.\\
The worst part of it was seeing the grin of determination on Kara's bloodied face as she threw her.\\
Satan Girl heard one last sending before she hit the plasma.\\
<Hellsister,> said Supergirl, <go to Hell.>\\
Kara pulled up, flying away at an angle, keeping herself beyond the event horizon of what was to come with the last shred of power she had. But she knew that she had to avoid the blast area. She trained her super-vision on the hurtling woman in black, even as she flew away.\\
The villainess hit the anti-plasma.\\
There was a look of confusion on Satan Girl's face as she exploded.\\
Her positive-matter structure was instantly annihilated by an equivalent mass of anti-matter in the solar prominence. It flattened part of the plasma-storm a bit, made for a more spectacular sight, and disintegrated a small bit of antisolar matter.\\
But that was all right. There was enough antimatter in the star to spare.\\
It didn't take that much of it to kill a Satan Girl.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: After so many battles Supergirl is getting tired of it all and expresses her desire to live like a normal woman:
-->'''Supergirl:''' But I'm... oh, Sheol, I'm so tired of all this stuff. Fight after fight after fight. We save the universe, we kill Mordru, we kill Satan Girl, we come back, and here somebody throws Darkseid in our face again. Can't there ever be an end to it? [...] Well, it's gonna have to start coming somewhere else before long. I'm tired of this. I wasn't born to be a, a super-heroine. I just wanted to be a normal girl from Argo, and, and get a good job and a good man and settle down...
* {{ILLKILLYOU}}: Satan Girl to Supergirl after her child has been taken away.
-->"Get up," said a familiar voice.\\
Kara roused herself, looked up, saw the speaker not twelve feet away.\\
"They took my baby," said Satan Girl, her face belying her rage. "And now, I'm going to take your life."
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Satan Girl and Mordru's first time fornicating makes Mordru's castle tremble.
-->He took her there on the carpet before his throne.\\
The castle shook with the throes of their pleasure.\\
And the cries of her consummation shattered windows all over the structure.
* ImmuneToBullets: Both Supergirl and her evil clone can't be damaged by bullets.
* InnocentBystander: Satan Girl's first action was killing off the crew of a United Planets starship. Her second action was smashing into pieces a pleasure cruiser full of innocent civilians because it ''aroused'' her.
* InSpiteOfANail: The Anti-Monitor is defeated, but even so an army of villains come together to conquer several realities.
* ItAmusedMe: Satan Girl's main motivation. She kills people because it entertains her.
* ItsAllMyFault: Kara blames herself for everything her clone does.
-->'''Supergirl:''' Okay. I'm ready to intercept her. If she's killed 318 people already... that means I'm responsible for it, in a sense.
* JawDrop: Kara's reaction when she finds out Satan Girl has returned.
-->"Now--here I am," she said, taking a seat at the table. "I see you've got the Fatal Five out again. But you could probably handle them without me. And I've been brain-scanned twice in the last few minutes. It sounds like something's coming up for me, specifically. Why did you summon me?"\\
"Because of this," said Brainiac, and thumbed the controller again. The image of a masked woman came up on one of the holoscreens.\\
Supergirl dropped her jaw.\\
"Her!" she said, after she found her voice. "Great Rao, after all these years...her!"
* JoinOrDie: When he's putting his army together, Mordru gives his prospect recruits the choice to follow him or die right away.
-->'''Mordru:''' I am gathering a strike force to confound or destroy my enemies. Though my power dwarfs that of any single being, I cannot function in many places at once... not with full coordination of purpose. I have brought you here to work as some of my agents. Accede, and great wealth and power shall be given you. That, and the lives of your old enemies, whom I will send you against. Refuse, and you die on the spot. Make your decision.
* KilledMidSentence: Darkseid murders Brainiac while the latter is speaking.
-->Brainiac's metallic hand was already raised. "The decision for leader is mine," said the robotic being. "But you are correct. We do not need two--"\\
That was as far as Brainiac got.\\
A blinding bolt of light shot through his chair and body, melting a great hole in his midsection.
* KlingonPromotion: Brainiac assembles an army of villains and appoints himself leader. Then Darkseid kills him off and declares himself leader. No one contests his claim.
-->Brainiac's metallic hand was already raised. "The decision for leader is mine," said the robotic being. "But you are correct. We do not need two--"\\
That was as far as Brainiac got.\\
A blinding bolt of light shot through his chair and body, melting a great hole in his midsection. The lights in his eye-pieces sputtered and died. His upper section toppled over, banging onto his feet and rolling to a stop. His lower torso and feet remained seated.\\
Both Luthors gaped. So did most of the people in the room.\\
A newcomer had arrived. Many of them recognized him.\\
"He was incorrect," said the new arrival. "We did not need him. Now you have me."\\
Luthor of Earth-One swallowed. He couldn't force a smile, but he did try to be casual as he said, "Pleasure to have you back."\\
The new leader began to address his troops.
* KryptoniteFactor: Satan Girl considers her options to exterminate the inhabitants of Daxam and Rokyn: lead for Daxamites and magic for Kryptonians since Kryptonite will not work in a red-sun world, except for a hard-to-make variety.
* LastOfHisKind: Inverted. Satan Girl is aware of the existence of Rokynians and Daxamites with her same powers, so she decides the proper course of action is exterminating them all so nobody can challenge her.
* LastSecondChance: Kara vows to help Satan Girl look for her child if she stops fighting her. Satan Girl replies she can find her offspring on her own.
-->'''Supergirl:''' You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: A Dark Mark's staple. Most of characters of the Pre-Crisis DC multiverse make one appearance at the very least.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Kara feels smitten with Dev-Em as soon as he shows up.
-->The man was about Kara's age, brown-haired, handsome in a James Deanish way, dressed in a simple green costume, and quite confident in manner. Despite herself, Kara caught her breath. He was... interesting.
* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: While Clark and Lois are in their honeymoon, Clark takes advantage of his powers to take his wife anywhere in the planet.
* ManipulativeBastard: Satan Girl exploits Mordru's lewdness to make herself slightly less expendable.
* ManOfKryptonite: Darkseid uses the Kryptonite Man to set a trap for his Kryptonian enemies. It nearly succeeds, but Lightray saves them from Kryptonite Man.
-->'''Lightray:''' The green man. He is one of your old foes?\\
'''Supergirl:''' One of Kal's [...] The guy used to be known as the Kryptonite Kid. He went through a green Kryptonite cloud in space and absorbed its power. He can kill me, Kal, Dev, and anyone else from Krypton.
* MeanwhileInTheFuture: Pretty often. After a present-time scene where Mordru extracts Satan Girl from Kara, the narration shifts to the 31st century.
-->Ten centuries in the future, this will happen. Let us say that it did happen, to make our story easier to relate.
* MindProbe: Desaad uses one mind-scanning contraption to torture Pariah.
-->That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.
* MindRape: When Desaad realizes he can't physically torture information out of Pariah physically, he fetches his mind-breaking tools.
-->That had led Desaad down the right track. For tortures of the mind can be even worse than tortures of the body, and Apokolips has mind-probers aplenty.
* MoodWhiplash: In the eleventh chapter of "The Agenda Apokolips", Desaad's torturing device blows up in his face, which gets soot-smudged. It's as funny as it sounds. Then Desaad assembles a mind-raping contraption.
* MundaneUtility:
** Superman finds a new use for his super-breath:
--->Clark Kent, in a black tux, held onto Lois with one arm, waved with the other, and winked at Linda. She smiled shyly at him. Linda didn't have to guess whose super-breath had guided those flowers just where he'd wanted them.
** Dev-Em uses his heat-vision to burn the sleep out of his eyes.
--->"Kara?", he mumbled, using heat-vision to get the sleep out of his eyes and hoping he didn't burn the furniture.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Superman's first reaction when he finds out about his cousin and Dev-Em's relationship is beating the former up. Since pummeling Dev pisses Kara off, though, Kal has no option but to grind his teeth and accept their relationship.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: Supergirl goads Satan Girl into fighting in the anti-matter universe. Satan Girl tries to not take the bait, but Kara knows which buttons to push.
-->Kara stopped at the warp-gate and looked behind her. Satan Girl had stopped as well, less than a mile behind her. To her credit, she wasn't stupid. She knew that Supergirl was leading her on. And, having Kara's memories, she knew where she was headed.\\
<That is the anti-matter universe,> sent Satan Girl.\\
<Oh, very good,> mocked Kara, smiling like a teacher tutoring her most backward pupil. <Now, if you'll just join me here, I can finish you right off.>\\
The villainess didn't budge. <It'll blow us both to bits if we touch any substance there without force-shields or matter-conversion,> she sent. <I can just wait you out. You'll come back, or you'll be atomized. Either way, I win.>\\
<Oh, will you?>, asked Kara. <I thought for certain that you wanted to tear me apart with your own hands. Except it hasn't been that easy, has it? Maybe you're just not up to it, after all... since you're just a pretty pathetic copy of me.>\\
Satan Girl's expression of hatred, which was about the only one she owned, intensified. <YOU...> she began, and that was all she could get out.\\
<Just one more thing, darling,> sent Kara. <I didn't want to have to tell you this, but we killed Mordru. He's dead. Hope you didn't get attached to him too much.>\\
At that, Supergirl knew she had succeeded.
* NoEndorHolocaust:
** The narrator makes sure to remark that Supergirl and Satan Girl's final battle happens in an uninhabited solar system.
--->The dark and light half of Kara were smashing each other across the unfamiliar solar system they now occupied.
** Brought up by Dan Turpin. In order to avoid another "New Gods tearing each other apart and Metropolis down" scenario, he gets in touch with Jimmy Olsen to tell him to get Superman quickly.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In the final battle, Satan Girl lays a brutal beat-down onto Supergirl.
-->And with that, she cracked a blow to Kara's face that broke her nose.\\
The static-shriek of pain in the telepathic plug was a sonata to Satan Girl. Smiling for the first time in minutes, she followed with another wallop, and another, and another. Four unanswered blows. Kara tried to resist, but her defense was fading.\\
Satan Girl pounded her. Over and over again.\\
[...]\\
<Kara?>\\
Satan Girl hesitated. She had been laying into Supergirl like a butcher on a steer. But she had been so busy in her fantasy that she had taken no notice of what she had really done.\\
Supergirl was not moving.\\
Satan Girl smashed her a few more times, just to make sure. Then she listened for a heartbeat.\\
Nothing.
* NotAMorningPerson: Kara really ''hates'' to wake up early.
-->Linda woke, feeling rested but somewhat woozy, and chalked it up to her usual morning blahs. Supergirl or not, she hated rolling out of bed at 7 a.m.
* NoRomanticResolution: Kara and Dev-Em's relationship was never given a final resolution. ''Fanfic/SupermanOf2499TheGreatConfrontation'' by the same author reveals they had two children but the relationship ended up in heartbreak, Kara never changed her maiden name and there're no records registering their marriage.
* OmnicidalManiac: Satan Girl destroys worlds for fun.
* OneManArmy: Many heroes and villains fit the description, but Berserker stands out:
-->From one, a moving image sprang forth. A rapidly-moving figure, tearing through the machinery and soldiers of a well-equipped army. Just one man against a horde, and within minutes, that man had won.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Lex Luthor of Earth-One can't stand his Earth-Two counterpart; as far as he's concerned, the other Luthor is an ingrate who hasn't gone through his same losses and is unable to appreciate how lucky he is.
-->"Listen now to Luthor of Earth-One," said Brainiac, whose face resembled nothing less than a metallic death's-head. "He shall be our field commander. We have the worlds within our grasp. It is our time, now."\\
"Wait one bloody second!", said one attendee, an older man with red hair. "Who appointed that second-rate lab-rat our spokesman?"\\
Lex Luthor of Earth-One turned, his warsuit primed for action. He recognized the voice. It was his Earth-Two counterpart, the older Luthor who had fought that Earth's Superman. His Man of Steel was dead now, killed in the Crisis. He had never lost his hair. He had never lost a wife or son. On top of that, he had even worked with the Earth-One Luthor, in a joint effort against the two Supermen.\\
The man was a damned ingrate, and Lex was fully in favor of wiping him out with an energy bolt.
* PairTheSpares: After Kara and Dev get together, Brainiac 5 seems to be left out in the cold... and then he hooks up with Laurel Kent.
* PeopleJars: Darkseid's minions shoved Satan Girl into one after extracting her baby.
-->'''Satan Girl:''' A woman knows when she no longer carries a child. I know not who took it from me. I was liberated from the prison you had placed me in. The one who took me from it placed me in a coma before I could see his face. I awoke in a large tube, with a red-sun lamp above me and my arms' veins pierced with nutriment tubes. My child was gone... That was all I was wanted for. I tore the needles from my arms and opened the tube's hatch. There was no one in the chamber.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Satan Girl's son has razed whole worlds.
-->A 3-dimensional hologram sprang into being just over their heads. It picked out a portion of the Milky Way Galaxy, then drew in on several planets in distant but related solar systems. From each planet, in turn, images of carnage, wreckage, destruction emerged. Kara and Dev gazed at them. True, they weren’t strangers to sights such as these. But, still...\\
From one, a moving image sprang forth. A rapidly-moving figure, tearing through the machinery and soldiers of a well-equipped army. Just one man against a horde, and within minutes, that man had won.
* PlayingPossum: Kara artificially stops her heartbeats while Satan Girl is pounding on her, so tricking her counterpart into lowering her guard.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** Kara describes her feelings eloquently when she's told that the Legion needs her still again because Mordru and Satan Girl's son is serving Darkseid.
--->'''Star Boy:''' But you can see why we wanted you on board for this one.\\
'''Supergirl:''' Frab.\\
'''Laurel:''' Yeah. My sentiments exactly.
** Supergirl before killing her dark counterpart:
---><Hellsister,> said Supergirl, <go to Hell.>
* PreClimaxClimax: In "Hellspawn" episode 2, Kara and Dev have pre-mission sex just in case.
-->She stood up. “I’ll give you my answer in bed.”\\
He got to his feet. “Probably be the best answer I’ll get all week.”\\
“Maybe not, if you’re lucky.” She took his hand again and they headed for the downlift. “But it might be our last chance for a while.”\\
And if we’re not lucky this time, she thought, it might be the last chance in our lives.
* ThePromise: Supergirl promises Satan Girl to help her find her baby if she stops fighting. Satan Girl tells her to shove it.
-->But my child is still alive... I can sense that. I just do not know where he is.\\
'''Supergirl:''' You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.\\
'''Satan Girl:''' Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight.
* PsychicLink: By the end, both Kara and her clone have developed some kind of mind-link.
-->Satan Girl looked at her for a second, then threw back her head, opened her mouth wide, and sent forth the blips through her telepathic plug that signified laughter.
* PubliclyDiscussingTheSecret: Linda Danvers and her adoptive parents attend Clark and Lois' wedding. During the reception, Fred tries to talk his daughter into introduce him to the Leaguers, although he's clever enough to use deliberate euphemisms such like "the team" or "the Gotham guy".
* RoguesGallery: Lampshaded by Dev-Em after his bout with the Kryptonite-Man:
-->'''Dev-Em:''' Oh, Sheol. What a headache. El, tell me. Was that another one of your unending parade of people who want you dead?\\
'''Superman:''' As a matter of fact, it was, Dev. I can lend you a few, if you'd like to take them home with you.
* SanDimasTime: Discussed. Kara knows she can technically spend as long as she wants in the 31st century, but she feels she needs to get back to her normal life.
-->He was only wearing white shorts and was half-covered by the sheet of the bed in her room at Legion Headquarters. "You're really going back today?"\\
Kara Zor-El walked back into the bedchamber. Hairbrush still in one hand, she bent and hugged him. "I have to, Devian. I still live in the 20th Century. Got to get to work. I was on my way there when the Legion summoned me." She felt the firmness of his naked chest against her and was very glad she had become his lover. Her empty hand stroked the contours of his back. His arms were holding her as well, and she bit her lip to keep passion from overruling judgment.\\
She could stay with him for a year here, easily. Two years. Longer. But she had a life, otherwhen, and she had to get back to it.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Interactions between Superman and Dev-Em usually come down to this:
-->'''Dev-Em:''' Oh, Sheol. What a headache. El, tell me. Was that another one of your unending parade of people who want you dead?\\
'''Superman:''' As a matter of fact, it was, Dev. I can lend you a few, if you'd like to take them home with you.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Lex Luthor of Earth-Two, killed off by Brainiac in the original canon, survives thanks to Darkseid.
* SuperBreath: Superman makes a quite humorous display of it:
-->Clark Kent, in a black tux, held onto Lois with one arm, waved with the other, and winked at Linda. She smiled shyly at him. Linda didn't have to guess whose super-breath had guided those flowers just where he'd wanted them.
* SuperSpeed: Supergirl displays this power in the first chapter when she travels to the future by flying faster than light.
-->Within five seconds, she performed her ablutions in the bathroom, did her hair and makeup, zipped on deodorant and a mild perfume, threw on her Supergirl uniform, and was out of the building at super-speed.\\
The air friction formed a corona of fire around her as she streaked invisibly through the skies. She ignored it.\\
Supergirl burst out of the ionosphere, vibrating at a certain frequency, still accelerating. An IFF device in her belt identified her to American and Russian radar trackers as the Girl of Steel, not an ICBM. They only registered her for a few seconds, anyway.\\
The reaches of near-space gave way to the unsettling kaleidoscope of time-flux. It wasn't that hard to do, Kara reflected, if you knew how and had enough power and speed to do it Superman had had to drill her for a week before she could pop out with pinpoint accuracy at a targeted time.\\
A subseries of flight ring pulses signalled to her the date and time from which the alert was being sent. She rocketed on, well past the speed of light.\\
[...]\\
The red-caped woman sighed without breath, reduced velocity to Mach 12, and sped into the atmosphere.
* TailorMadePrison: Satan Girl is shackled and locked up in a prison cube. The walls are made of inertron and there's trace of Kryptonite in her shackles.
-->Within her prison cube, Satan Girl seethed. Even at her full power, these metal walls would be proof against her. And, thanks to the trace of Kryptonite in her shackles, she was hardly at her full power.
* TalkingInBed: At the beginning of "Apokolips Now", Scott Free wakes up at night. His wife Barda asks if he's having nightmares again. He replies is having another kind of bad dreams... such like Darkseid watching them.
* TechnicalPacifist: Kara and the Legion actually try to imprison Satan Girl... then she is released, makes clear she won't stop until seeing Kara dead, and Supergirl is forced to fight to the death.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Superman and Dev-Em don't like each other. Like, ''at all''. Dev-Em bullied Kal-El when he was ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, attempted to frame up him for vandalism and got away with it. He's reformed since, but he's still a jerkass, and he's dating Superman's beloved cousin. Yet still they try to fight together during the War, albeit it's clear they can't stand each other.
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: Supergirl and Satan Girl fight each other for the last time. Supergirl offers to help her evil counterpart find her missing child if Satan Girl stops fighting, but Satan Girl rebukes her: they're doomed to fight until there's only one left.
--><Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister,> sneered the dark woman. <I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight. You would not tolerate my existence, nor I yours. I am not capable of your empathy, of your petty virtue. You are not capable of my ruthlessness and power. Come, sister. Let us destroy each other.>
* ThouShaltNotKill: Subverted. Supergirl has to face up to the likes of her own evil counterpart, Mordru and Darkseid, so she's willing to break her rule.
* TimeTravel: Supergirl travels several times to the future.
* TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Simultaneously played straight and lampshaded by the narrator in the first chapter.
-->Ten centuries in the future, this will happen. Let us say that it did happen, to make our story easier to relate.
* TroubledButCute: Dev-Em is a former bully, reformed delinquent and still a jerkass whom Kara finds charming and handsome.
* TroubledFetalPosition: Kara adopts this position when the Legion turns up to ask for help still again.
-->She sighed and crouched, her elbows on her knees and her hands hiding her face. "I. Am. Just. Getting. So. Damned. Tired."
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Discussed when Berserker thinks he can just gut Orion and Darkseid warns him that underestimating their enemies is downright foolish.
-->'''Berserker:''' I would like to meet him, in Armagetto or any other place. I would take his Astro-Force and force it into his guts, before I ripped his body asunder.\\
'''Darkseid:''' Underestimating my first son’s power would be like unto underestimating my own. All too many battles are lost thru one’s own arrogance, and thru underestimation of the enemy. This will not be done. Agreed?
* UnresolvedSexualTension: There was a good amount of attraction between Kara Zor-El and fellow Kryptonian survivor and Legionnaire Dev-Em, whom Kara found attractive but kind of a jerkass.
* UnstoppableRage: Satan Girl pounces on Kara furiously when she finds out about Mordru's death, pummeling Supergirl almost to death.
-->At that, Supergirl knew she had succeeded. Probably a little more than she wanted.\\
Satan Girl surged forward like an express train, her arms outstretched, and Kara flew through the warp.\\
In two more seconds, they were at war again, and Satan Girl vowed that she would destroy Supergirl before the anti-matter got anywhere near them.
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: Inverted. Darkseid steals Satan Girl and Mordru's son and raises him into a pitiless, blood-thirsty, invincible killing machine.
* VillainTeamUp: Mordru bullies Satan Girl and an army of villains into serving him. And at the beginning of "Apokolips Now", Brainiac and Lex Luthor are trying to put together an army of villains:
-->"Our foe, the Anti-Monitor, has fled or has died. Not even I can detect his presence, either in our universe, or in his. My calculations must be true. The Crisis he created is over. But great unsettlement remains. We all crave power, for various reasons. Now is the time to strike. Not even the heroes of the five remaining Earths can withstand our combined power."\\
Not all of those who listened to Brainiac nodded, but most knew the truth of that. Super-villains outnumbered super-heroes by a factor no one had yet calculated. If they all struck at once, in coordinated effort, little could be beyond their grasp. Better yet, within their grasp might be the lives of those heroes who had opposed them, defeated them, imprisoned them.
* VillainTeleportation: Mordru uses his teleportational spells to move his pawns around.
-->The bolt of power which had freed the Fatal Five had also transported them to Zerox, the Sorcerors' World. Now Tharok, Mano, Emerald Empress, the Persuader, and the mighty Validus stood before their benefactor.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Neither Superman nor Kara's adoptive parents understand why a sweet, kind-hearted, mature woman like Kara fell in love with a rude ass like Dev-Em.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', Power Girl and the JSA are wondering what happened to their super-villains. Here it's revealed they were forcefully recruited by Darkseid.
* WhenSheSmiles: Dev-Em cites Kara has a beautiful smile.
-->She turned and smiled at him. Her smile, he thought, had power enough to illuminate the darkness between Earth and Aldebaran.
* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Satan Girl intends to destroy all surviving Kryptonians so no one can challenge her.
* WindowsOfTheSoul: Satan Girl and Berserker’s eyes show their lack of restrain or conscience.
-->The focus of the image came back to the lone warrior, or berserker, or... hell, just call him a murderer. His visage was less distinct than those of the Apokolips pair, probably because the computer didn’t have a model from which to work. Still... the eyes. She could make out enough of them to see something there, a fury, a lack of conscience, a lack of superego with which to restrain the id.\\
Eyes that, in another face, could have belonged to Satan Girl.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Discussed when Supergirl wonders how long she has spent in the future.
-->Briefly, she wondered how much of her life she'd spent in the 30th Century. Linda guessed that, if she took that time into account, she could probably celebrate her birthday six months early. Well, at least she could return in time to only a few seconds after she departed. That way she wouldn't be late for work.
* YouExclamation: Satan Girl when Supergirl calls her a weak, pathetic copy.
--><Oh, will you?>, asked Kara. <I thought for certain that you wanted to tear me apart with your own hands. Except it hasn't been that easy, has it? Maybe you're just not up to it, after all... since you're just a pretty pathetic copy of me.>\\
Satan Girl's expression of hatred, which was about the only one she owned, intensified. <YOU...> she began, and that was all she could get out.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Hoping to avoid this scenario, Satan Girl seduces Mordru.
-->She might have to watch out for him, as well. If she were viewed as a tool, he might intend to simply use her and destroy her once the job was finished. How could she guard against that?
----
->'''Supergirl:''' Well, it's gonna have to start coming somewhere else before long. I'm tired of this. I wasn't born to be a, a super-heroine. I just wanted to be a normal girl from Argo, and, and get a good job and a good man and settle down...
