CHAPTER 3: Red Tornado (Part 2)

Lieutenant Hannah Crowe, TITAN SECURITY Military Contractor, TITAN SECURITY/D.E.O Liaison, D.E.O Base/Training Range, 80 Miles outside National City, Earth, 14:56 hrs, 25th June, 2016/TITAN SECURITY Military Calendar/Military Standard Time.

Stood alongside Kara Danvers or Supergirl and her adoptive sister, D.E.O Agent Alex Danvers was TITAN SECURITY Liaison Lieutenant Hannah Crowe, alongside her was . She had arrived at the testing grounds 20 minutes ago to spectate the fight between Red Tornado and Supergirl, now she was watching General Lane dismount from the unarmed HMMWV. It was still strange for her, to see all these "State-Of-The-Art" firearms and vehicles in use while before, she's only seen them in Museums before this deployment.

"General, Major." greeted Alex and Kara. Whilst Hannah snapped off a sharp salute that was returned by both members of the Lane Family.

"Lieutenant Crowe, Agent Danvers, Supergirl. I trust we're ready for the test to begin." asked the General, who was dressed in desert camouflaged fatigues. However, Major Lane was still in Dress Uniform from their mid-morning meeting.

"Yes, we are. The alternate safe route here was much longer than we anticipated." replied the General, annoyed that he hadn't been warned about the ongoing exercise.

"Uh-Huh. I forgot to send that to you." admitted Hannah. She didn't file it deliberately. "Aerial Patrol of the City and on the look out for any of Zod's forces. Wouldn't want them aligning with Astra."

"That is a fair assessment, Lieutenant." agreed General Lane, who'd organised the subsequent force of combat aircraft to attack Zod's Ship. "Now onto the test at hand. Shall we?"

"I'll just finish up here. I need to talk with Agent Danvers." said the Lieutenant, ignoring the quizzical looks from the Major and General. Turning away, the two US Army Officers walked towards the drab green tent that was the head-shed for the Red Tornado test. The three woman looked back to each other, continuing to look over the Red Tornado.

"I don't say this often, but I am craving a good fight right now." stated Supergirl, obviously not happy about something.

"Well just keep your cool." Alex replied to her sister, "You got this."

"Especially when there is no metal that you can't damage on this Planet." smiled Hannah, injecting a bit of humour into the mood.

"That too." agreed Alex, nodding her head. Before turning away she patted her on the arm to walk to the head-shed tent.

Emerging through the tent flaps, Hannah was greeted with an array of computers and OLED Screens. Dr. Morrow was busily attending some of the work at hand whilst the Major just watched or reviewed the data on the screens. Another D.E.O Agent was present with the Director monitoring what they were doing. Moving towards the front alongside the General and Director Henshaw, she heard a remark from the already D.E.O Agent betting on the upcoming fight. "20 Bucks on the Android." he said smiling.

"40 on the Alien." Alex said, her arms crossed. Hannah took note that she didn't use Kara or in fact Supergirl. But smiled at the friendly banter back and forth, however, she turned her attention towards Hank as he said "If at any point I don't like what I'm seeing I'm ending this."

"Which I would completely understand if you had any authority over me." said General Lane, not giving a damn about the fact that if it went wrong, Supergirl could get hurt.

"General Lane. I DO have authority over you for the period of the test." Hannah stated, garnering a look form the General and the others in the room.

"Let me remind you, Lieutenant. Does the chain of command remind you of anything." Replied the General, clearly pissed he'd just been spoken to like than by a Lieutenant of all people. By now even the two D.E.O Guards outside the tent were looking in, with everyone else watching the tense standoff.

"General Sam Lane. Under the Contract that NATO and by extension the Department of Defence signed. States that any weapons test on TITAN SECURITY property, the ranking officer representing the Company's interests has the authority, regardless if the foreign officer is a higher rank, can abort the test if the safety of both parties are/or at risk of either serious injury or death." stated the Lieutenant, having read that via her Neural Interface. But the message carried the weight well, General Lane looked at her and nodded.

"Dr Morrow." Turning away from the confrontation, General Lane addressed the Doctor. "You can begin."

"Thank you, General" Momentarily glancing at the Lieutenant who nodded her head, he inputted the start up commands for Red Tornado to start up.

Gigabytes of information scrolled down the screens, soon it was replace by a targeting camera with Target information on the right, whilst the left had a list of self-diagnositcs bothe software and hardware and overall platform status was described as 'Combat Capable'. The view was tinged red on all surfaces with Supergirl in the centre of the screen, a large crosshair was fixated on her. Supergirl had crouched into a defensive stance, ready to counter any attacks. Then the android did something that surprised the D.E.O and the TITAN SECURITY Liaison. The hands of Red Tornado began to spin and create a whirlwind of air that was accelerating towards Supergirl, who had lost her stance out of curiosity, noticed the jet of air and tried to evade by jumping away with moderate success. She jumped and was caught in the attack sending her 30 meters into the air. Red Tornado continued the assault by launching two micro missiles that were labelled as Anti-Infantry. But the design of said munitions looked more Anti-Armour, making her look at Dr Morrow and ask about it.

"Those were very powerful Rockets, Dr Morrow." inquired Lieutenant Crowe, giving him a serious look for not to pull wool over her eyes. "What sort of charge are you using?"

"Red Tornado is equipped primarily with Shaped Charge Warheads to pierce heavy armour, Lieutenant." replied the contracted Doctor.

"Hmm. Never thought you'd need a shaped charge to deal with body armour." smiled Lieutenant Crowe, figuring out who this was built for as the Major tries to change the subject.

"Maybe she's not taking this seriously." said the Major. At this point the Lieutenant just looked at Alex, who just smirked back.

Nothing within this Earth's Military had could harm her, with the exception of the D.E.O. And even with UNSC Firearms and ammunition, it would be unlikely that they'd be able to do any harm without Plasma Coated ammunition or until the first batch of Kryptonite Tipped FMJ's with Lead lining to keep their radiation confined and undetected. Recently an Empire-Class Super Freighter and a UNSC Science vessel was sent to the remains of Krypton to capture the local star's radiation to help with Anti-Kryptonian weaponry. All of it had been fabricated at the Ancient Human Empire Slipspace Gate that brought the UNSC to this universe.

Supergirl dived towards the deck and sashed under the surface, Red Tornado had lost her and was searching with the typical 'left to right' head movement. Other cameras tracked a line of soil being displaced by Supergirl until she was right behind the combat android. Launching out of her subterranean tunnel, she surprised the Android who had just begun to turn around, send the red humanoid several meters into the air before making an unhealthy landing. On its knees Supergirl advances up to it, as it tries to stand, gets an yellow star fuelled Kryptonian punch to the face. RT turns to block another but could only concentrate on one arm with its processing power, the second hit's it hard to the right 'cheek' with another follow up punch to the gut, forcing it onto its knees. Supergirl, however, wasn't relenting with her attack and was continuing to hit it hard. Even in this state she was hitting it with a fury that shouldn't be required, almost like Kara had been having a shit morning. Seeing her like this was unusual for Hannah since she was a bright, upbeat attitude all the occasions she had met her. Then Dr Morrow was snapped her out of her thoughts.

"It's experiencing system damage." he said, looking down on his data-pad. "This is over, pull the plug. Now!" Glancing over to Alex, who raised her hand to the earpiece.

"Supergirl. You won." Alex calmly stated. Moving outside, Hannah heard Kara shout and continue to hit the android, even freezing its arm and smashing it off in the process. Then Director Henshaw came over the frequency, ordering her to stand down. Hannah was about shout at Kara to make her stop and if that failed, pull out the a small hunk a Kryptonite that the last UNSC supply run has sent. Thankfully that wasn't needed as she saw her back off from the damaged machine. However, after a second it looked up and took off in the air headed towards National City, everyone from the tent rushing out.

"Are you hurt?" Alex asked, approaching her at a jogging pace. Supergirl gave a simple reply of 'No' to the question.

"You must have triggered its emergency self-preservation function."

"I can't see it?" Supergirl said, half question and half statement. This raised a few questions inside Hannah's mind as to why the US Army would need to hide it from her.

"He's in stealth mode, making hime 100% undetectable." replied Dr Morrow, raising yet more questions for Hannah to ask. Suddenly General Lane goes mad at Kara and Alex.

"This is your fault!" stated the General, boldly blaming his equipment failure and pre-programming on the D.E.O's ally and organisation itself.

"You asked me to fight it!" exclaimed Supergirl, directing the attention back at him.

"And now your recklessness has unleashed an uncontrollable killing machine on National City." Supergirl looked like she wanted to say something but kept it to herself, so Hannah stepped in.

"What the fuck do you mean by 'uncontrollable killing machine' you idiot." Asked Lieutenant Crowe, upon hearing that the D.E.O Agents knew this would be worse than if you stayed silent. "Don't you have redundant systems allowing you to take it back to base?"

"Lieutenant Crowe, stand down." said an irritated General, not wishing of the Lieutenant to have a go at him and his command. Meanwhile the D.E.O and Supergirl, who had Alex by her side, watched the exchange.

I'll take that as a no. Is that a fair assessment?" replied the Lieutenant. Looking at the Major, as if sensing what will happen she puts it down hard. "You idiots? And Major Lane, don't even open that mouth. Good, Now let's find this android."

Colonel Ivan Tarkov, TITAN SECURITY Military Contractor, 19th Shock Trooper Battalion, 105th Division, D.E.O Base/Training Range, 80 Miles outside National City, Earth, 15:20 hrs, 25th June, 2016/TITAN SECURITY Military Calendar/Military Standard Time.

Colonel Ivan Tarkov of the 19th ODST Battalion, 105th Division was stood ominously within the D.E.O's underground, dressed in his HELLJUMPER-Class. A BR98 Battle Rifle was on the illuminated table before him alongside an crimson armoured forearm, whilst his M6R Personal Defence Weapon Systems were mag-locked to his hips just like the Lieutenant. Watching the US Army entourage and General shouting about the project being $1 Billion and 11 years of research and development being made into a paperweight. Studying the arm with his limited past technological experience, he'd deduced it was an ineffective design that Lieutenant Crowe had agreed with. Having served in the Human-Covenant War, he had no time for a General in this mood and decided to end it.

"General Lane. My name is Colonel Ivan Tarkov of the 19th Shock Trooper Battalion, 105th Division." His Hungarian/Reach accent clear in his commanding voice that demanded respect, cut through the room like a hot knife would butter. "What do you intend to do about this weapon?"

"I want it found and destroyed, before it turns National City into a Warzone." proclaimed General Lane, trying to wash his hands of the situation. Before civilians were involved.

"Destroy it? You can't do that." exclaimed Dr. Morrow, he wasn't happy about this statement, not one bit.

"The last thin g the Army needs is a bunch of wounded civilians on the 9 O'clock news." stated the General.

"Should have thought about that before." remarked Lieutenant Crowe. Tarkov agreed with that assessment.

"I've invested too much time and effort into this."

"Into what, Morrow?" asked the General, "The Red Tornado failed and so did you. You're fired."

Dr. Morrow didn't argue with that, he just walked out of the room. Tarkov thought that it was a bad move, he could track the Red Tornado back to a fallback position. The others around the table looked uncomfortable that they just witnessed that. Figuring out a plan of action was needed right now, so he contacted the Base Commander to begin the search for the US Army Android with high intensity scans of local airspace. If they were going to destroy it, he concluded that it would be best if they went their separate ways to find it. With that being said, Supergirl went off back to CatCo Media, The US Army contingent were staying at the D.E.O whilst the Lieutenant and himself would deal with any Radar pings.

Don't hate, but I'm ending the chapter right here because I felt like it and it was an easy ending. Again, please review the story if you wish to share you're thoughts on it and tell me if I missed something or whatnot. I have come to the conclusion that some episodes might not get the same treatment as this pilot arc, but the next one will see TITAN SECURITY flexing its muscles in Disaster Relief (Everyday Life for the UNSC during the Human-Covenant War) and Medical expertise. I have also debated when should the UNSC reveal itself and will listen to ideas by my readers. But I probably won't do it until the First Season is over in 4 weeks.

Have a nice day,
