Dark Knight Returns Part 2
Kara approached Bruce at his ranch wearing civilian attire. Bruce was busy with his horses but was clearly aware of her presence. Next to Bruce was a white wolf. Kara outstretched her arm and a bald eagle landed and stared at her.
"American as fuck," she smirked.
"What do you want?" Bruce asked gruffly.
"You have to retire, Bruce. Time to hang up the old hat, time to stop making decisions," Kara said condescendingly.
"What the fuck for?" Bruce asked annoyed.
"You're upsetting too many people," Kara said.
"Good," Bruce said dismissively.
"Why do you always have to be an asshole," Kara asked conversationally.
Bruce merely smiled as he petted his wolf. "I'm a criminal, so are you. You just have a boss."
"By definition, I can't be a criminal if I have government sanction," Kara argued.
"I have Commissioner Gordon," Bruce replied.
"That doesn't cut it anymore. Gordon is retired and the new commissioner wants your ass in jail," Kara said.
"She's a bitch," Bruce muttered.
"Look, we had this discussion ten years ago. The government wanted the Justice League disbanded, I did the job of kicking everyone's ass, and now everyone's gone except you," Kara said.
"And why do I deserve this special treatment?" Bruce asked darkly.
"Because you're an old man. You weren't even a challenge to me when you were in your prime," Kara mocked.
"I recall beating you every time," Bruce recalled.
"Yeah, because you had some kryptonite stored away on that utility belt," Kara said.
"Yeah, so, I'm not going to retire. I am going to die fighting," Bruce said resolved.
"One of these days, someone with authority is going to order me to kill you," Kara said seriously.
"When that happens, let the best fighter win," Bruce smirked.
"You're so going to die," Kara shook her head.
"Get the fuck off my land," Bruce told her.
"Whatever, I have some Soviets to roast. We'll talk later," Kara said and then flew off.
Supergirl flew at super-sonic speeds towards the island of Corte Maltese. There, the Soviet fleet was on the move towards the island. Upon detecting her, Soviet MIG fighters fired missiles at her. Kara grinned as the missiles came closer. It meant they fired first and it gave her free license to open a can of whoop ass. Kara dodged their missiles and avoided their machine gun fire. Kara then went for the kill destroying several MIG fighters in quick succession.
The Destroyers then fired upon her from the ocean below. Kara went down towards the ships and then fired her heat vision on the Soviet aircraft carrier cutting it cleanly in two. She then slammed down on one side of the aircraft carrier causing it to separate into two pieces. The aircraft carrier and its fighters fell into the ocean in flames.
"Victory for America," Kara said pleased with herself.
A Soviet submarine suddenly launched a nuke towards Metropolis. "Oh crap," Kara realized.
She gave chase to the missile and pulled the missile up into outer space. The missile then exploded hitting Kara with full force. The extreme heat and shockwaves knocked her out. She fell out of the sky and hit an island. Her face and body looked elderly as if her whole body were drained of life. She looked like a zombie form of herself.
"I'll just suck the life force out everything around me," she said to herself.
Like the zombie that she was, she started absorbing the solar energy from the grass, flowers, and trees around her. As she became whole, everything around her died. Then it started to snow on the Caribbean Island. "Oh great, nuclear winter," she said.
Kara went to the White House dressed as Kara Kent. She met with the president in the White House garden. "How are you doing?" he asked her.
"Well, other than being nuked again, pretty good," Kara said chipper.
"Are you up to handling our other problem?" the president asked.
"You mean, taking out the Batman? Hell, yeah," Kara agreed.
"That's my girl," the president appreciated her enthusiasm.
"He'll never let me bring him in alive," Kara remarked.
"Well, do what you have to do," the president said vaguely.
As Supergirl approached, automated missiles fired on her. Kara saw a dozen missiles all coming towards her. "Really?" she said as she was hit by them. She fell to the ground with a thud.
"Nice," Batman said inside his tank.
"Is that going to be enough?" Robin asked anxiously.
"Probably not. She's weakened by being nuked again and the lack of sunlight. Still, this isn't going to be easy," Batman commented.
"Are you going to go out there and get yourself killed?" Robin asked.
"Bitch, I might," Batman smirked and then left the tank.
The army noticed Batman going through the streets but made no move against him. Kara got back to her feet and dusted herself off. A tank shell suddenly hit her blasting her into a building. Kara got to her feet and withstood the second tank blast. She flew over to the tank and threw it on its side. She then ripped open the hull. Robin had a slingshot aimed at her as she opened the tank.
"That's cute. Another soon-to-be-dead sidekick," Kara mocked.
"Kara, you're fight is with me," Batman said across the street.
Kara sighed and flew over to Batman. "The Ironman suit again? Come on, man. Don't make me kick your ass. We don't have to fight."
"Sure we do," Batman replied and then fired his sonic gun at her.
Kara heard Taylor Swift at full volume. "No, not again," she shrieked.
Batman grinned until Kara grabbed his toy and threw it away. "Got anymore toys, Bruce?" Kara asked annoyed.
"No, that was it," Batman replied.
"A bit anti-climactic. You willing to turn yourself in now?" Kara asked.
"Let's shake on it," Batman suggested.
"Sure, buddy," Kara said shaking his hand.
A sudden electrical shock went through her. Batman was using the entire city's electrical grid and focused it on Kara. He grabbed Kara by the head shocking her continuously. She cried out in pain as she was overwhelmed by it. She fell to her knees in front of Batman.
"That's right, bitch. On your knees," Batman smiled.
Kara glared at him and fired her laser beam on Batman's utility belt deactivating him from the city's electrical grid. She then punched Batman hard to the chest sending him up against a parked truck. "Alright, you're going to get it now," Kara said pissed off.
Batman activated his rocket boots and went straight for Kara. She merely dodged him. "Ha!" she said amused. Batman turned around and punched her hard to the face sending her to the ground. Batman continued the offensive pounding Kara with his fists non-stop. Kara tried to take hold of him as they blasted through an apartment. The two continued to fight in someone's living room until Kara punched Batman into the air. Kara then slammed Batman back to the ground in an abandoned construction site.
Batman got back up and used ninja stars to cut down a crane's wrecking ball. "I come at you like a wrecking ball," Batman said as he smacked Kara with it. Batman swung the wrecking ball over his head for another strike when Kara's laser vision sliced off the chain. Kara took hold of the wrecking ball and threw it back at Batman. He dodged the attack and then took hold of two asphalt paving vehicles and slammed Kara with each of them. Kara destroyed the two vehicles and grabbed Batman's mask.
"Not bad, Bruce. Keep it up," Kara smirked and then punched him across the street.
Batman dragged across the sidewalk until he slammed into a lamppost. Kara came down and landed on his gut. She picked him up and then punched him again. "That was three ribs, Bruce," Kara said impressed with herself.
"Not so cocky without your Kryptonite," Kara mocked.
Batman got to his feet and wrestled with Kara. As the two struggled, Batman threw dirt in Kara's eyes. "Really, man?" Kara said as she swung blindly. Batman placed a grenade on her boobs. The bomb exploded tossing both of them a distance away.
Kara flew through the smoke and punched Batman through a car and crashing into an apartment entrance. "Do you want me to kill you? I mean, I'll do it, but fuck," Kara said as she walked up to him.
"Oh, you're not going to kill me," Batman said confidently.
"Oh really?" Kara wondered.
"Now!" Batman shouted.
There was an awkward silence between them. "Like, you want me to kill you now?" Kara asked confused.
"Things never go to plan," Batman muttered.
"Okay, play time's over. Time to go," Kara said reaching for Batman. She then sensed something going towards her. She turned around and got hit with an arrow. The arrow's tip turned into a Kryptonite gas as it hit her. Immediately, Kara began to cough and fell to her knees.
"More Kryptonite, Bruce," Kara shook her head unimpressed. She turned to see Green Arrow hanging upside down. "Still mad about that arm?"
"You cut off my arm and denied me disability, you bitch," Green Arrow said disgruntled.
"Wow, any other members of the Justice League here? I'll kick all your old asses," Kara said amused. "Just wait until this Kryptonite wears off."
"Its effects will only be temporary," Batman told her.
"That's a relief," Kara said as she continued to cough.
"So, I'll make this quick," Batman said and then punched her to the face.
Batman brutally punched and kicked Kara all over the street. "I didn't have to go easy on you, Kara," Batman said as he kicked her ass.
"Easy on me? I was winning until Green Arrow showed up," Kara said as she got punched again.
"I wanted you to stay out of my way," Batman said picking her up.
"Fine, whatever," Kara said.
"In all the years to come, I want you to remember in all your private moments that I was the one man that beat you," Batman said.
"Drama queen as always," Kara replied.
Bruce then backed away as he felt a heart attack coming. Kara got back to her feet even as she was weakened by the Kryptonite. "So, you're going to just go ahead and rage quit on me? You can't die until I kick your ass," Kara said.
Bruce fell over and passed out. Kara dusted herself off and looked over the prone Batman. "I am going to count that as a win," she said.
Military personal came to the scene and gathered around Bruce's body. Kara X-rayed Bruce's body and then smirked. "Don't touch him. I killed him. I get the body."
"Fair enough," the commander agreed. "What do we do with this guy?" he asked referring to Green Arrow.
Kara weakly walked up to Green Arrow who was still hanging upside down. "Just give me a few minutes and then I'll kick his ass," she said.
"Oh man," Green Arrow groaned.
Kara was at Bruce's funeral in a black coat. Commissioner Gordon, Selina Kyle, and some other rich folks were present. Alfred was notably absent since he also died the same day.
"You have got some nerve showing up here. I know you killed him, damn you," Selina shouted at her.
"Wow, Selina Kyle? Damn, you got old. I mean...damn," Kara said stunned upon seeing her.
Selina Kyle was about to hit her when Gordon intervened. "Don't, it's no use. Let's go."
"Were you a friend?" Gordon asked Kara.
"I think so. I honestly couldn't say," Kara admitted.
"Sounds about right," Gordon said and walked off.
Kara then walked off herself but noticed a red-haired girl stayed behind. With her X-ray vision, she noticed the shovel inside her coat. Kara then heard a faint heartbeat below ground. "Well, I'll be damned," Kara smiled.
