In months to come, rest of story surrounding Universe Food was made known to the public.
Dates: July 2030

In the months to come, the rest of the story surrounding Universe Food was made known to the public. As were the identities of everyone involved, hero, villain and victim. Names, faces and stories were revealed. The factory was destroyed, smashed into the ground and turned to dust. Every last bit of alien meat was destroyed. Even the anti-alien folk had been disgusted with Universe Food. Those who had lost loved ones to the carnage were finally able to know what had happened. It was still a hard story for them to bear, but at least they had some closure now. Lenny had been found trying to escape undercover now that Lex was dead, and he might've gotten away with it too, had he not been caught trying to retrieve extra money from Lex after Lex died. It was Lenny siphoning money from Lex's account that alerted Lena to his presence and she, subsequently, had him arrested and imprisoned, treating him with all the same courtesy he and Lex had shown to her during her time in captivity.
The other heroes who did not belong in National City, or that Earth for that matter, went home, all of them still badly shaken by the story behind Universe Food, but feeling good knowing that they had finally and properly avenged the alien victims. The victims' souls and families could finally rest at ease. The healing process would still be long and hard, but at least the slaughter was over. This left the heroes of National City the chance to go back to their old and normal lives, except now they had to deal with their last Kara clone.
"Linda!" Alex had since hired the girl to work for the DEO, and she seemed happy with it, but for the sake of everyone's sanity, she was given a makeover so that she would not resemble the old Supergirl at all. Her hair was turned black and cut short while her eyes were turned green.
"Alex?" Linda replied, rushing enthusiastically over to her boss and friend.
"We've got a mission for you," Alex gave her a sad smile, but Linda totally missed the "sad" part of it.
"You do?" her now-green eyes flashed with excitement. Alex nodded.
"There's a robbery at the bank on fourth, if you want to-" but before Alex could even finish, Linda had taken off, donning her revamped Supergirl suit (though of course, she had no idea that it was revamped) on the way out.
"She's just like her predecessor, isn't she?" J'onn asked with a bittersweet smile as Linda took off.
"She definitely is," Alex replied, wiping a tear away. She still would never truly get over Kara's death, but she could rest easy now, knowing that Kara had been properly avenged. And Linda, though she was no Kara, was still shaping up to be an excellent hero in her own right. Everyone who knew her agreed to it. But they still had yet to come up with a name for her. They refused to use "Supergirl" because that belonged to Kara, but "Superwoman" and "Superlady" didn't sound as catchy.
"Ah well, we'll think of something in time," James grinned as he caught onto Alex and J'onn trying to think of names for Linda.
"As for now, though, who wants some lunch?" Winn agreed, sticking his head up from a nearby computer.
"Just as long as it isn't burgers!" Lena replied with a disgusted expression, working right beside him on new tech for L-Corp.
"Oh, yeah, please, no more burgers! Ever!" Alex looked just as repulsed. Even though every burger and meat product was now tested for alien DNA, the meat industry had hit an all-time low after Universe Food, and hardly anyone ever ate burgers. They were just too hard to stomach now.
"I'm fine with that," the others all said in unison.
"How about we go out for ice cream instead?" Maggie, who was visiting Alex, suggested, and that was an idea everyone could get behind.
