Disclaimer: I don't own Superman or Wonder Woman
Interlude
Ares: "Strife, my patience is growing thin!"
Strife: "Patience Ares, I'm sure I could... Persuade Georgios to join our cause."
Strife then pulls out what looks like a chunk of black rock.
Ares: "What the hell is that?"
Strife: "this is our ace in the hole, black kryptonite."
Ares: "And how will this help us?"
Strife: "In a regular Kryptonian this can cause them to spilt into two beings, a good one and a bad one. Now imagine what it can do to a halfling like Georgios."
Ares: "We can trick him into joining us!"
Strife: "Exactly, and then we can use his powers to become rulers in mount Olympus."
Ares: "Perfect!"
Chapter 7
I awoke to find myself shackled on a table in some sort of mad scientist type lab and I saw Kara laying next to me.
"Psst Kara, wake up."
She wouldn't budge from what I could sense she was weakened from the kryptonite, but for some reason I felt fine, it felt almost like I was napping and woke up from said nap. As I laid there thinking of my next move, I heard some distracting noises then a blonde woman in what looked like her own homemade Wonder Woman uniform came busting through the steel doors.
She then looked at me.
"You must be Diana's child."
"Uh yeah, my name is Georgios Kent-Prince, and if I'm not being rude may ask, who are you?"
"Oh don't worry about it, my name is Cassie Sandsmark, would you like my help?"
"Actually I think I've got this."
I used my strength that returned to break me restraints.
"OK, I think I'm good, but Kara is still weakened, can you break her out?"
"Alright."
She broke Kara out of her restraints and Kara still couldn't get up.
I then tried to wake her up.
"Hey, Kara wake up, we need to get out of here."
"Georgios is that you?"
"Yeah it's me, what wrong with you?"
"I-it's the kryptonite, it's weakened me."
Wondergirl then asked.
"Can you walk?"
Kara tried walking but feel down almost right away.
"No I can't."
I then put her arm around my shoulder and started to carry her.
"Well here let's get out of here Kara."
I then asked Wondergirl.
"Hey, how'd you fund us anyway?"
"Oh, Batman left a microchip on your person and it went off when you and Supergirl were in danger."
I was bugged? Huh, well no time to worry about it now.
As Wondergirl, Kara and I made it out, something caught my eye, it was what looked like experimentation with what looked like rocks only they gave off the same glow as before, wait a minute this was kryptonite, Lex Luthor is making kryptonite but the question was why is he making his own?
I didn't have time to think about it, I had to get Kara out of here, I used my miniature digital camera and started taking pictures so I can examine them later.
Just as we were leaving we were stopped by security drones.
"Halt! Present identification!"
"Oh, sorry I left my ID in my other pants, but here's a handprint."
I was able to punch a hole through the drone and get us through the building, and then the rest of the security system was after us.
"Oh, Zeus help us."
"You sure you can do this Georgios?"
"No, but that hasn't stopped me before."
Wondergirl and I were able to fend off the drones and other automated weapons, which was astonishing considering I needed one arm to support Kara.
"Kara? Kara?"
Oh Zeus, she's unconscious again, that was some powerful kryptonite.
Wondergirl asked me.
"Can you take it from here?"
"Yeah, I think if I take Supergirl to my house we can take care of her."
"Alright, be careful."
"I will."
I started to fly with Kara in tow back to my apartment balcony, I entered inside to be greeted by my mom.
"Hey Georgios, what happened to Kara?"
"We were on a mission and we got hit with kryptonite."
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, but I think Kara is having issues."
"Well, here give her to me, I'll take care of her."
"Thanks, I should get back to work."
"Alright sweetie, I love you."
"I love you too."
I flew back to the Daily Planet and changed back into my work clothes and ran out before anyone was the wiser.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late I was-"
A coworker then interrupted me.
"Oh, you don't need to explain yourself, miss Lane let us know, how was it."
"I'm sorry?"
Another coworker spoke.
"Your doctors appointment, miss Lane said you had one today how was it?"
I knew my boss lied to everyone keeping my identity secret, I then looked at my watch and noticed I was gone for three hours.
"Oh right, everything's good, they just wanted to give me a few tests and make sure everything is alright."
"Well, that's good to hear."
I then entered miss Lane's office.
"Hey boss, I'm sorry about being so late, you see Supergirl and I-"
"Don't worry about it Georgios, I understand you're a superhero like your father and your mother and sometimes superheros have some snags in their jobs as long as you work hard here and do your job right you'll always have a job here."
"Well, still I should at least stay a little late to make up for the three hours."
"Well, the latest I can have you stay is until I go home, no later than that."
"That should work, thank you."
I spent the rest of my time typing on my computer, working on my article and I transferred the photos I took earlier to a flash drive so I can examine them at home on my laptop, my concentration was interrupted by a hand on my shoulder.
It was miss Lane.
"Hey Georgie boy, it's time to pack it up and call it a night."
"Sure thing."
I placed the flash drive in my pocket and left with her
As we exited the building, she took out the remote to her car door.
"Do you need a ride home?"
"Actually, I think I'll walk."
"Alright you have a good night."
"You too, miss Lane."
I started walking back to the apartment it was getting a little colder so I brought one of my hoodies with me and then a street vendor handing out hot beverages noticed me.
"You there sir."
"Me?"
"Yes you, is something on your mind?"
"I don't want to trouble you got sir."
"Oh come on, it's no trouble at all son."
"Well a family member of mine is having issues."
"What's the problem?"
"It seems like everything is going wrong with her life, she lost her apartment, she can't find a new one, she got... Sick and I carried her to my complex, I don't know I just wish I could help her I mean she raised me like a son."
"Sounds to me like your trying you are helping her, and I think she will get past this funk eventually with your help."
"Alright."
"He then handed me a hot drink."
"Here's some hot chocolate."
"Uh, thanks"
I handed him a five dollar bill.
"Keep the change as a tip."
"Thank you, by the way my name is Drew what's yours?"
"It's Georgios, Georgios Kent-Prince."
"Well it was a pleasure meeting you."
"You too."
I then made it back home to my house and saw my mom and dad.
"Hey guys."
They both greeted me.
"Hello."
"How's Kara?"
Mom then spoke.
"Physically she's fine, but mentally I think she's reached her breaking point."
"Well, maybe I should talk to her."
"That could work."
I opened the door to see Kara crumpled over the side of the bed, she was just depressed.
"Hey Kara?"
"Please go away."
"Is everything OK?"
"I was weak,I don't deserve to be a hero."
"Hey don't worry about it, we entered a madman's hideout and he used a cheap move, from what I heard from the stories of mom and dad it happens."
She still didn't say anything.
"You know if it wasn't for you,I don't think I'd be a hero."
"You're just saying that."
"No, I mean the stories of my parents were nice to hear when I was younger but, just seeing you exhausted in your red and blue suit, laying on your bed, it gave me a goal, to help you fight crime. Don't worry this will pass,I know it will."
She smiled slightly.
"Thanks."
"You can stay here during the night of you want."
"OK, cousin."
I then took my laptop into the kitchen and examined the pictures that I took today at the labs. It unknowingly took me all night to examine the pictures causing me to gal asleep, I was then jolted awake by my mother in her Wonder Woman get up.
"Sweetheart, you've been at that computer all night."
"I have? What time is it?"
"It's seven in the morning."
"Oh, dang!"
"Come on, let's go patrolling as mother and son."
"Alright, I could use a break anyways."
To be continued...
Well, that's it for this chapter, I want to apologize for the long wait time loyal readers, school has been keeping me busy lately but I do promise that the next one won't take too long.
