Crisis On Infinite Earths Outline Fix, Part 5: Laurel Returns!
This is the conclusion to the Crisis, Part 5! This is a bit of a longer one again. For parts 1, 2, 3 & 4, here:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
I thank God for these ideas, if He wills, that He blessed me with:
The bright green light consumes the screen.
Kara, Wally, Jjonn, Ray, Sara and Kate all wake up in their new earth.
But things are different. Black Lightning's, Supergirl's, Earth 1's, Earth 3's and another earth's are now all merged into 1. Lex is the head of the DEO. All the speedsters remember everything. Cisco's powers are back, which when he touches Wally, vibes his pre-crisis memories back. The history of Earth 3 is now apart of that earth's, the Justice Society Of America having been prominent heroes, with the members of Jay Garrick Flash, Dinah Drake Black Canary (Laurel and Sara's mom), Ted Grant Wildcat, Dr. Fate, Hawkman/Hawkgirl, Alan Scott Green Lantern, and others, apart of the team in the 80's & 90's. Barry Allen's Flash has been erased, having never existed. Wally is seen as The Flash, the 2nd Flash there's ever been, after Jay Garrick. John Diggle's life has been altered as well.
Cisco misses Barry, but has become accepting of the situation after the preparations made for it and sees it as his responsibility to maintain the protection of the city. He uses his vibing to give Caitlin, Ralph and the others their memories back, but Wally stops him from giving them to Joe and Iris, saying that he doesn't want them to bear the heartbreak of losing Barry all over again.
Iris is the head of the Central City Citizen, which Post Crisis is a prominent newspaper.
Wally is left to ponder that the people see him as the Flash, him refusing to wear the costume, stating that he's not the Flash. Cisco tells him that the people think he is.
Mia is angry and guilty about the loss of her dad. Diggle has guilt that he couldn't be there for him when it happened.
Cisco picks up a reading of something coming from space, and traces it to landing outside STAR Labs, which he confronts, to find a man landing there.
Sara and Diggle talk about Oliver's loss and she tries to assuage his guilt, stating that no matter what, Oliver wouldn't have wanted him to die fighting this threat, and that Oliver was very stubborn, which they both have a small laugh about.
Sara comforts Mia, whose beginning to be accepting of her dad's death and that he died saving the multiverse, seeing him as a hero.
Sara, though having wanted to continue fighting, is still depressed about the fact that so much of her family is gone and that she has almost no one in her life. Which she talks with Mia about.
That's when they're attacked by some shadow creatures. They fight them, but are pinned down, about to be torn apart, when suddenly...
A sonic scream emerges from the side! BLASTING THEM BACK! And from the side...
Emerges Black Canary.
Sara is shocked. But apprehensive... until Black Canary looks at them and acknowledges Sara as her sister with a smile and rushes to her. Sara realizing that this is E1 Laurel. Alive. Laurel helps her up and Sara touches her shoulders, almost in disbelief that this is real, tears springing to her eyes, before hugging her, crying, in tears of happiness and grief. Mia almost smiles at the moment as well. Mia realizes and says that if they attacked them, they may attack the others as well.
They go to STAR Labs to warn them about what's happening. And are met with Cisco stating that he knows it's not over, as they've been told by someone, that someone revealing themself as the Green Lantern AKA Guy Gardner, from the Justice League Of America 1997 TV Movie, played by Matthew Settle.
Everyone is brought together, Diggle, Kate and Mia included. Guy Gardner tells them that he was from the other earth that was merged with the others, and is questioned by Diggle in how he survived the merge with all his memories intact. He says that his ring protected him. Cisco and Guy explain that the antimatter verse portal is still open, but is slowly closing as this new timeline, of sorts, cements, and if it does, those shadow creatures will be stuck here. Cisco determines that they're gonna need to recreate the sonic pulse to try and get those shadow creatures to them, so they can somehow get them into the portal before it closes. Laurel volunteers to do it, in spite of Sara's concern. Cisco explains that because there's no way to know where they are, they're gonna need to double the pulse from before to get all of them to them. Diggle suggests Dinah. Laurel questions that, but Cisco states that the Dinah Diggle is suggesting is Zinda Blake post-crisis and doesn't have a sonic cry and Laurel's mom has never had powers. Diggle realizes that he hasn't gotten all his memories straight yet. Cisco then says that there's someone else who can help them.
We cut to E2 Laurel standing in front of Laurel. Laurel is uncertain about this. E2 Laurel maintains her memories of pre-crisis. Laurel asks how this is possible. Cisco speculates that with the merging of some universes there may be holdovers from the previous, then stating that both Laurels have the metagene for the canary cry, a now discovered gene post crisis, and, with his memories of EX Laurel, he speculates at least most, if not all the Laurels in the multiverse, have one as well. But E2's was activated by dark matter, while post crisis Laurel's was activated by a gene bomb HIVE set off in 2014, HIVE post crisis being an organization who sought to enhance humanity, using techological and biological enhancements. Laurel asks E2 Laurel if she can be trusted with her history as a villain. E2 Laurel points out that she remembers nearly dying to help and hopes that's gained something. Sara vouches for her. Laurel trusts Sara's judgement and agrees.
The group all agree that the only reason the shadow creatures would have a reason to attack them is based on the Anti-Monitor being alive still. They talk about how that's possible, Sara, among the Legends, suggests that as time hasn't fully cemented yet, he may not be erased, Cisco then suggesting that he also may be acting essentially as a time remnant or using something to keep himself from erasure, like tech or something. Jjonn tells them that he read the Anti-Monitor's mind before he transported himself away and he read that because his plan to cause an antimatter universe of his own in place of our multiverse has been stopped, he's willing to try and prevent the multiverse from forming at all, even if it means his own destruction. They work out how he'd do that, coming to the conclusion that he can use the temporal zone to go to the dawn of time to try and undo it at it's inception.
As the group works out their plan, Guy Gardner uses the STAR Labs computers to look into information about his friends post crisis, from his earth, and where they are now.
His Barry Allen is now Darryl Frye, a detective in Central City.
B. B. Dacosta is now Green Fury, her alter ego as a pop star, Madonna-esque.
His Ray Palmer is now Al Pratt, a respected physics college Professor, and first Atom post crisis.
Tori Olafsdotter is now Mary Pratt, married to Al Pratt, and a reporter.
His Martian Manhunter is unable to be located here.
Diggle is there and tells him glad that a lot of his friends are okay on this earth. Guy Gardner understands that he speaks from a place of a grief at his friend having died in the crisis. Guy Gardner and Diggle bond over that, Guy telling him that now all his friends are found, that Martian Manhunter from his earth is still missing, but he has faith that he's out there somewhere and Diggle has to have faith that his friend is somewhere out there too. Diggle agrees that he does, that it's like Oliver said, it's God's plan.
The team works out the plan.
Before starting, Sara apologizes to Laurel for what happened on the boat. Laurel tells her that she didn't go through with it. Sara says that she would've and that kills her, for being jealous and petty like that, saying that she wanted to have what Laurel had, be her, but she was just hurting herself and her whole family, stating that she doesn't want this, hating herself, to hold her back anymore, that she wants to move forward. Laurel agrees.
Kara and Kate talk, Kate telling her that she can't find Bruce and doesn't know where he is. Kara tells her that she can't give up.
The majority of the group tracks the energy signature of the Anti-Monitor, courtesy of Cisco with combination of tech and his vibe powers, through the temporal zone in a waverider pod, as Diggle, Wally, Guy Gardner, E2 Laurel and Laurel remain on the waverider, above earth. The waverider pod containing Sara, Kara, Alex, Kate, Ray, Cisco and Jjonn.
The 2 Laurels begin their sonic pulse. Guy Gardner explains that they're going to have to act quickly, as his ring is running out of power, and that's why he can't use it for flight while he's using it for the trapping of the shadow creatures and why he'll have to stand at the open door of the waverider as he does it. When Diggle asks if he can recharge it, Guy tells him that post crisis the ring isn't his anymore and will seek out it's true bearer when the time comes, and because of that he doesn't have access to charging it. When the shadow creatures are drawn to the waverider by the sonic pulse, Guy Gardner uses his ring to capture them, giving the go ahead to Wally to superspeed a speedforce portal into the closing antimatter portal, allowing Guy Gardner to funnel the creatures into it.
Meanwhile the others chase after the energy signature of the Anti-Monitor in the wavrider pod, as he flies through the temporal zone. They get close to him, but, realizing they can't catch up, Cisco breaches them both into a neutral area, the vanishing point. The waverider pod crashing. When the group climbs out, they see...
Anti-Monitor standing, unscathed, towering over them, in full comic book Crisis On Infinite Earths Anti-Monitor tech body armor.
Cisco breaches away quickly.
The Anti-Monitor mocks them for that and bringing him here, stating that he's been erased from existence, so the vanishing point no longer holds it's sway over containing him.
Sara states that they didn't bring him here for that. They just didn't want anything or anyone to be in the crossfire, when they destroy him.
They begin the battle:
Atom blasting the Anti-Monitor, even trying to fly into his ear, shrunken, but he's slapped away.
Jjonn flies into him, reaching into his chest by phasing, but the armor he's wearing electrocutes and burns Jjonn. The Anti-Monitor then responding by punching into his chest, him flying backward, being smashed into the ground.
Kara and Kate double team him in an attack of distraction and offensiveness, but are blasted away by an energy beam.
Alex begins shooting at him from behind, telling him not to touch her sister, but he, unaffected, simply redirects his beams at her, which she just barely dodges, then, on the ground, leg badly hurt, being met with another blast directly at her.
Kara quickly superspeeds inbetween her sister and the beam, trying to hold it back with her heat vision, him walking up to her, pushing her heat vision back into her eyes, grabbing her head, placing his hand over her eyes, the heat vision burning them, BLINDING HER, her yelling out in pain.
Back on the wavrider Diggle, flying above earth, tells those on board that it's time. The 2 Laurels are ready.
Sara comes up behind him with a blade, but he grabs her quickly by the throat, destroying her blade, mocking her for thinking it'd work, then saying that now she's alone again. Sara smirks, saying that she's far from alone.
Suddenly a breach opens and Brandon Routh Superman emerges, flying like a freight train into the Anti-Monitor. The Anti Monitor's grip on Sara is immediately broken, him being SMASHED into the ground.
Cisco exits the breach right after, as Cisco as ever, exclaiming, "Was that a bird? A plane? Why, I think it was Superman!" He then asks Sara if she's okay. She says that she is, but what took him so long? He explains that they had a couple last minute additions.
Out of the breach emerges:
E1 Black Canary
E2 Black Canary
Killer Frost
Citizen Steel
Heatwave
Tyler Hoechlin Superman
Black Lightning
Tom Welling Superman
Obviously Brandon Routh Superman, as he re-positions himself.
They all engage in battle with the Anti-Monitor. Their powers all together do some damage. Atom's blasts, the canary cries, the electric blasts, the cold blasting, the flamethrower flames, the heat visions of all the Supermen doing the most damage. But he's still too powerful to defeat. Cisco tries to use his breaches to slice the Anti-Monitor apart, but his suit breaks the breaches apart when they close in on him.
Alex crawls over to check on Kara, whose eyes seem almost seared in a way.
In the waverider, Guy Gardner is having a hard time containing all the shadow creatures as he funnels them into the antimatter portal. Diggle, flying the waverider with some difficulty, tells Wally that the others need help down there. Wally's uncertain he can. Diggle lays it out, telling him that it doesn't matter what he thinks, because they still need the Flash. Wally takes the Flash ring out of his pocket, pondering it. Diggle asks him if he's ready to do what it takes to save everyone. Wally, in resolve, places the ring on his finger, and extends his fist, the Flash symbol on the ring glowing in almost a lightning crackle blaze.
In the battle, Sara tells them to try to hit the Anti-Monitor with all their powers all at once. They make an attempt, but he's too powerful for them to get at with all those hits at once. Cisco tries something, throwing his breaches around the Anti-Monitor's hands, then giving the Supermen the go ahead. The Supermen do so. Brandon Routh Superman grabbing his left arm, Tom Welling Superman grabbing his right, Tyler Hoechlin Superman grabbing his head, them all holding him in place.
On the waverider, Guy Gardner's green lantern power ring starts to drain, just as the last batch of the shadow creatures are getting to the antimatter portal. He tells Diggle he's almost there. Diggle tells him it could kill him. Guy states that they have to make sure they're all gone now, as the antimatter portal's about to close, it taking all of his willpower to hold it. Just as the last shadow creature gets in, the portal closes, Guy's power ring runs out and he falls unconscious from exhaustion, falling out of the waverider into earth's atmosphere. The Green Lantern ring slips from his finger and flies off as he falls. But just before Guy's about to be hit with the heat of re-entry...
Diggle swoops in with the waverider and catches him!
The Supermen holding the Anti-Monitor gives the others the room to throw their powers (canary cries, lightning, etc.) at him at the same time. It does more damage, but he still struggles. Tom Welling Superman stating that they can't hold him much longer. Sara asks how he's still so powerful.
Kara, hearing this, realizes, and tells them, that he's still empowered by the energy of the sun that was used to cause him to form and it may take a similar energy to destroy him. Cisco, as he holds the breaches around Anti-Monitor, intensely struggling, his nose bleeding a lot, says that it could work. Sara states that the only way to be sure would be to drop him into it directly. Cisco says that could result in the energy of the sun blowing back and killing all of them here. Kara tells them no, then asking Cisco if he has enough power to drop her in front of the sun. Cisco begrudgingly says yes, understanding her goal. Kara stands up, her eyes still seared, telling him to do so on her go ahead. Alex asks Kara what she's doing. She tells Alex that Nazi Supergirl could absorb enough of the energy of a sun to explode, and that if she gets enough, she could destroy him. Alex asserts that Nazi Supergirl died from it. Kara acknowledges that. Alex telling her no, she won't accept that. Kara hugs Alex tightly, telling her that she can't lose her home again and quickly pushes Alex away from her, telling her that she loves her and tell Lena she's sorry, then telling Cisco "now", the breach opening around Kara, taking her and closing just as quickly before Alex can stop it.
Tyler Hoechlin Superman asks what's happening.
Kara floats before the energy of the yellow sun of earth, it energizing her, the energy flowing to and healing her eyes, her opening them, with the energy of the yellow sun making them glow.
At Kara's request, Cisco breaches her back into the battle.
Kara floats over the battle, telling the Supermen to get away from the Anti-Monitor. Tyler Hoechlin Superman, realizing himself what's happening, tells her no, that he can't let her die, there has to be another way. The other Supermen agree. Kara states that he has a son to take care of, all of the Supermen do, it has to be her, that protecting him was her job in the first place. Tyler Hoechlin Superman continues to reject that.
But in a flash of lightning, all the Supermen are pulled away from the Anti-Monitor, and Wally stands before them, in the full Flash costume.
The Flash lives again, as Wally circles the Anti-Monitor at superspeed, throwing lightning at him multiple times, this keeping him in place...
Allowing Kara to enact her plan. She says to Tyler Hoechlin Superman, "I love you, Kal-El." and flies towards the Anti-Monitor, her heat vision BLAZING with the fire of the sun, searing into him, it burning through his armor, burning him from the inside out, FLAMES igniting from the eyes of his suit! This use of her powers causing her eyes to crack with yellow sun energy bleeding out, the cracks spreading more and more. The Anti-Monitor, enraged, yells out, "NO!" And Kara collides with him, the force of it IMPLODING THEM IN A FLASH OF LIGHT!
Leaving nothing but a crater, and Kara's torn cape. Alex and Tyler Hoechlin Superman rushing there, seeing only the cape, them both breaking down, almost leaning on eachother, Alex devastated, inconsolable. The other Supermen stand silently in mourning, placing their hands on their shoulders in an attempt at comfort. Everyone else surrounding them, in silence.
The President gives a speech, honoring the sacrifices of Supergirl and the Green Arrow with a statue of an \S/ in National City and one of Green Arrow being built in Starling City.
Diggle visits Guy Gardner in the hospital who tells Diggle that his time is over and now it's his turn. We confirm that Diggle, now having gained full memory of both earths, in this post-crisis, his name is John Stewart.
The team honors the Flash silently with a Flash symbol built in it and empty seats for Barry, Oliver, Kara, even Bruce at the new table, in the Hall Of Justice.
In the montage of showing the earths with show the same things, but now with inclusions of:
The Birds Of Prey TV Series Earth, showing that team now working with Kevin Conroy Batman, who has a renewed pursuit of heroism.
Tom Welling Superman with Lois, watching their kids, before he gets an alert on a fire in Metropolis, with Lois being proud of him.
Justice League Of America TV Movie Martian Manhunter alive, leading martians on Mars.
Earth 1 Bruce, alive, stranded on another earth, but on the search for a way back.
Gotham TV Series Bruce as Batman in his earth.
Some quick flashes with the Batman 89 earth and Batman 66 earth.
On a re-established Earth 90 E-90 Flash speeds through the city, before getting a message from Christina McGee of a bank robbery by Trickster, E-90 Flash smirking and then speeding off to it.
On earth prime, something falling to earth in front of Diggle, but stopping just short of hitting the ground and it redirecting and pointing right at him. It emanating a green light reflecting on his face.
Ending still on the Superman The Movie nod of Brandon Routh Superman flying, his symbol back to yellow and red.
THE END.
In case ya’ll are curious, Kara and Barry aren’t really dead and aren’t gone for good. In their respective seasons, they’d return after a couple episodes or so. Please review and tell me what you think!

Was season 5 as bad as I'd said it would be?
it honestly wasnt as bad as i thought it would be!! the main thing i was looking forward to in s5 was Lena's villain arc and it really delivered so i honestly enjoyed it. I have a few gripes about how it was handled but I really liked the scene btwn Kara and Lena in the s5 finale when she's like "I hurt you yes but what about all the times you hurt me?" cuz thats what i felt was missing a bit i just wanted acknowledgment that Kara recognizes she hurt Lena instead of making it about how she lost Lena and I got that so I'm okay
The only real issue I have w s5 (and I was talking about this w @malikjavaddzayn yesterday) is that they dont really address post-Crisis Earth Prime properly. Apart from the symbols in J'onn's fortress there's no proper acknowledgment that Barry and Kara now share an Earth -- and that bothers me because Barry and Kara are supposed to be really good friends
We dont see Kara deal with the loss of Oliver (even though Oliver literally sacrificed himself to not only save people from Kara's Earth, but also to save Kara from her original fate by trading his life for hers with the Monitor), there's no discussion about the trauma of watching entire worlds collapse -- I guess I was really hoping to see Kara grow and change from Crisis but they don't really discuss it and that annoys me
Apart from like, mentions of doppelgangers, there's literally no indication that Barry and Kara's Earths merged. Maybe I'm just biased cuz I love Team Arrow so much, but Arrow balanced Barry and Oliver sharing the same Earth really well by always reminding us that Barry and Oliver are in fact friends, and establishing connections outside of cross-overs. Team Flash were very much characters on Arrow, albeit minor characters - and it just made their friendship and connection more believable
The thing that worked about Supergirl is that because Kara had a separate Earth, all of her villains being Earth-destroying, genodical maniacs was fine - because she literally was the only person there to save them. Yeah there was also Clark but balancing Kara and Clark is done pretty well in the early seasons imo so its not like unbelievable that he's not there for most of her major fights
But now that Barry and Kara's Earths have merged, her villains just don't make as much sense - because if she's dealing with these Earth-ending attacks: like someone trying to kill half the world's population, and they dont even try and address where Team Flash is during this is ridiculous.
The thing about Arrow and Flash is that their individual villains never had such grandiose plans, so its believable that Barry and Oliver weren't constantly calling each other for back-up, and when they did team up in the cross-overs: there's a clear sense that whoever they're fighting is too big to take on by themselves
Obviously I get why Kara's villains need to be so super-powered, but its just hard to believe that all these other superheros who she now shares an Earth with are just completely oblivious to villains literally trying to destroy their planet
I'm just upset that apart from the symbols in J'onn's Tower - they dont even try to address Crisis. A lot of personal introspection and development could've been done for Kara as a character, and a lot of world-building could've been done. I know they did this whole thing on Flash with a Mirror-verse or smth like that, but I wish we could've seen even like a text-cameo from Barry. And the fact that Oliver isn't even mentioned once -- yeah the fact that apart from doppelgangers, and the symbols there's no actual impact about Crisis bothers me a lot

The Arrowverse: 5 Relationships Fans Were Behind (& 5 They Rejected)
The Arrowverse is full to the brim with compelling and complex characters who have had some noteworthy arcs over their respective seasons. The couples of the universe are no exception to this, with most of the major characters receiving a love interest at one point or another.
RELATED: The 10 Best Costumes on Arrow, Ranked
Like any fandom though, the DC fans are very particular about the couples they support. While some of the relationships are universally loved by viewers, others leave the audience scratching their heads. Here are 5 couples that fans could get behind and 5 that were absolutely rejected by the millions watching at home.
10 REJECTED: OLIVER AND FELICITY
Tumblr media
Oliver has had a number of complicated relationships over the course of Arrow. There have been a few that have been maintained throughout, including his coupling with Laurel Lance which was inspired by the comic relationship of Green Arrow and Black Canary.
However, the final relationship he settles into is the not so cleverly nicknamed Olicity. The coupling of Oliver and Felicity has been a huge topic of debate among fans, with many soundly rejecting the relationship, suggesting they are ill-suited for one another. This could be, in part, because many viewers don't actually like Felicity and would prefer Oliver to couple up with the newer Canary, Dinah Drake.
9 BEHIND: PAUL AND CURTIS
Tumblr media
Curtis has had a rough run on Arrow. The tech genius has suited up as the hero Mr. Terrific on more than one occasion, but this has deeply affected his love life. His early relationship with boyfriend Paul gave the show some much-needed representation and the two were a great couple. Fans were thrilled when they got married, seemingly completing an unusually happy storyline.
Unfortunately, it was never meant to last. The superhero life caught up to Curtis and after putting Paul in danger he decided enough was enough. Paul filed for divorce, thus ending one of the relationships that viewers really supported from the beginning. It seems that Curtis is once again in love though, which is a positive sign for the future.
8 REJECTED: BARRY AND IRIS
Tumblr media
It's difficult to know where to begin with this relationship. It seems that the pair is well-matched. As Iris is the defining love interest of most of Barry's life, these two were seemingly meant to be. But there's a huge problem with the Barry and Iris relationship fans can't seem to get over.
RELATED: Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths: 10 DC Comics Earths We Need To See
The two essentially have a sibling relationship, with Barry becoming part of their family at a young age when his mother was murdered and father sent to prison. Whenever we watch this couple on screen, it's difficult not to remember this fact and feel quite uneasy about the situation altogether.
7 BEHIND: BARRY AND CAITLIN
Tumblr media
Surprisingly, fans have gotten behind a couple that never really came to be. It's been teased in the past, although they have now been cemented as friends. But that hasn't stopped viewers from demanding that Barry and Caitlin finally get together, creating the perfect Arrowverse couple.
Of course, Caitlin has since been distracted with her relationship with her father and certainly hasn't had much luck in the boyfriend department. Barry is now married to Iris, so the probability of this relationship ever forming is pretty non-existent at this point in time.
6 REJECTED: CARTER AND KENDRA
Tumblr media
Carter and Kendra's story should be romantic. The two have been written into destiny, forever to find one another across multiple lives and fall in love over and over again. Any other relationship for them is pointless because they will always be together.
For such a great story, it's a shame that there was no chemistry between the two whatsoever. The duo didn't seem in love at all and was a poor match for one another. Kendra had far more chemistry with other members of the Arrowverse like Cisco, but she had to cut all of this short for something pretty dead-end.
5 BEHIND: GYPSY AND CISCO
Tumblr media
Another great love pairing that was cut short by the showrunners. Cisco has also had his fair share of problems in the love department, so it was refreshing for him to be paired up long-term with Gypsy. She was a feisty character to play off of his geekiness.
RELATED: 10 Smallville Characters That Should Appear in Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover
It also helped that they both had similar power sets and were even in the hero life, although Gypsy works more as a bounty hunter. However, living on different Earths does take its toll and eventually, the two had to separate. It appears that every relationship fans get behind is ending too soon.
4 REJECTED: DINAH AND VINCENT
Tumblr media
Dinah's choice in boyfriends is questionable at best. Her love for Vincent in the early days of knowing him was completely acceptable with the two working closely together in the police force. But after his apparent death, everything changed.
Vincent returned as the violent Vigilante, who took it into his own hands to be judge, jury and executioner. He was a very apparent anti-hero, but that didn't stop Dinah from loving him any less. But the two were poorly suited for one another, and fans felt like it was a mistake for Drake to return to Vincent after the harm he had done to Team Arrow.
3 BEHIND: KARA AND MON-EL
Tumblr media
Kara and Mon-El's relationship is rather complex. At the start of their pairing, they were really not meant for one another and fans hated the idea of them together; Mon-El was too egotistical for the selfless Kara. But as time went on, they progressed into a strong couple, until they were viciously torn apart from one another.
When Mon-El returned, it was after he had been to the future. He was now married and this sent fans into a frenzy. The relationship they once despised could never exist again and they didn't know what they had until they lost it. The audience is forever waiting for the return of this couple, but they shouldn't hold their breath.
2 REJECTED: KARA AND JAMES
Tumblr media
Kara's other key relationship in the series was firmly rejected from fans, so much so that it was written out of the scripts. Season 1 of Supergirl saw the Girl of Steel going after James Olsen. The two finally got together at the end of the season.
Flash forward to Season 2 and they are no longer an item. This is likely because no one could really see them together long-term, with the pairing feeling quite forced. James has since been put together with Lena Luthor in a much better couple.
1 BEHIND: NATE AND RAY
Tumblr media
There's only one couple that can be at the top of this list and it's not even a romantic relationship! The bromance between Nate and Ray is so strong that it deserves to be mentioned. The two have flown through space and time in the Waverider, getting into all sorts of trouble.
Both now have romantic connections, but that hasn't stopped them from continuing to work on their own wonderful friendship. When it seemed that Nate was about to die, it was Ray who showed the most emotion and indeed they have saved each other on many occasions. It's going to be sad when Ray leaves the show and his best friend behind.
