Stop me if you have heard this one before... A Supergirl walks into a bar...

Ambush Bug is getting booed off the stage when people notice the Kryptonian crest poking out from under Kara's cloak. When Kara asks if anyone knows anything about a Rogol Zaar they try and brush it off as if they have no clue. No one steps forward, so Kara says, "Tell me or I will make you tell me, either way works for me." Gandelo, is informed that Kara has been located and says he has an "Independent contractor at the ready" to deal with her. After some harsh words at the bar, a brawl breaks out. Krypto joins in the fray, but with Kara not being around Earth's yellow sun to recharge her powers she is soon overtaken by the crowd of patrons. A large creature raises his weapon and is about to put Kara down for good when Kara reveals the axe of Rogol Zaar and uses it defend herself. Immediately the crowd backs away from her and some even praise her as the "The Axe Queen". A creature is about to tell Kara what he knows when he is shot down by another. She finds another crystal like the one that was given to her last issue, and picks up a "traveling companion" named Z'ndr Kol who convinces her to take him off planet. As the ship travels through space, Kara gets really ill as they find themselves smack dab in the middle where Krypton once was.
