Chapter 3

DEO Headquarters

Agent Wendell Vaughn strode through the hall; he was dressed in his black uniform and his blond hair was slicked back; he wore dark rimmed glasses that had yellow lenses in them. He stopped in front of the round table where Director Alex Danvers stood, looking over information on the computer tablet in her hands.

Alex looked up and smiled. "Well, that's a good look, don't tell Kara, but that's a better disguise than hers."

Wendell smiled. "Thanks, its been a while since Wendell was out and about, its taking me time to get use to it."

"Don't worry, you'll do fine."

"So, what do you got for me today, Boss?"

Alex nodded. "I want you to take a small team, say four other agents, and check out this address," Alex said as she handed Wendell a small piece of paper. "We believe the occupants of this location are dealing in alien weapons. They need to be stopped."

"Why only four agents?"

"We don't want to spook them; I'll keep a full squad ready to roll if you get into trouble."

Wendell smiled. "You know I can handle it by myself?"

"Yes, I do, but your an agent, so you don't need to handle it yourself, understood?"

Wendell raised his hands. "Got it, Boss," he replied, smiling at the irritated look on Alex's face.

"Stop calling me Boss."

Wendell walked away, turning his head over his shoulder to look back at the miffed director of the DEO. "Whatever you say Boss."

Thirty minutes later...

A large black SUV pulled up to a rather rusty and worn down looking metal sided warehouse, that was directly adjacent to the oldest portion of the wharf. The doors opened, revealing Agent Vaughn and his team of four agents.

"Check your weapons, make sure you have a full load of non-lethal rounds. Have your stun sticks ready, in case we have to go hand to hand," Wendell ordered. His team nodded and prepared themselves.

Wendell looked down at his right wrist, his quantum band appearing as he willed it to do so. "Agent Vaughn calling in."

"Agent Vaughn, good to hear your voice, what is your situation?" Brainy asked.

Wendell smiled; the AI was an interesting fellow. "At the warehouse, did a full scan, nothing on the outside of the building, but I do detect four heat signatures that register as human and one very large heat signature that did not register with the Quantum Bands."

"Agent Vaughn, use caution as we have no idea what that large heat signature could be."

"On it, let Alex know that we'll need that backup."

"Yes, I will inform the director, Brainiac Five out."

Wendell turned to his four agents. "Sneak around the back. I don't think Agent Vaughn is needed for this mission. As he said that the Quantum bands appeared on his wrists, the bands began to glow before his body was covered in golden energy, when the light faded Wendell Vaughn was no more and in his place was the Cosmic Avenger, Quasar. The agens smiled at their leader before following his orders and running around the back of the warehouse.

Quasar strode up to the main overhead door of the warehouse. "I guess it's time to make an entrance." He raised his right hand the Quantum Ban glowed before a golden light construct formed, creating a battering ram with the head of a horned sheep. The light construct moved forward, crashing through the overhead door. The four gun runners in the warehouse jumped in surprise before they pulled out their weapons and began to open fire on Quasar; the bullets bounced off the energy aura that surrounded his body.

"I suggest you lay down the guns and surrender," Quasar said.

The gun runners continued to fire. They were so preoccupied that they didn't see the four agents come up behind them and fire their stun rifles, hitting all four of the gun runners. The men fell to the ground, but before the last one faded into unconsciousness he touched a button on his wrist watch. A two story tall door in the back of the warehouse opened to reveal a creature that Quasar had never seen before. It was a two story tall spider, covered in coarse hairs that were a dark orange in color. The spider locked its numerous eyes on Quasar before scurrying toward the hero. The beast had ten legs and two large pincers in front of its foaming mouth. Quasar looked at his Quantum Bands; the creature's energy signature was off the charts and it appeared that it gained power straight from the electrical grid of the city. That would explain the brown outs that he heard about over the last several days.

Quasar looked at the Quantum Band on his right wrist before he sent an image of the creature to the DEO Headquarters. "Quasar to Brainy, come in."

"Brainiac Five here."

"We captured the gun runners, but we have a problem."

"Define the problem."

"A twenty foot tall, alien spider."

"What?"

"You heard me, a really big, damn alien spider." Quasar backed up, moving out of the warehouse so he had more room to fight the beast. "I sent you an image."

"Processing."

Quasar was now out of the warehouse and the spider kept moving forward. "I think you've processed enough Brainy."

"Yes, it is a Thanagarian Snare Spider, very dangerous."

Quasar rolled his eyes. "I can see that Brainy. How do I stop it?"

"Can you contain it somehow?"

Quasar smiled. He raised his arms both Quantum Bands glowed before the spider was encased in a dome of golden energy. "One spider trap activated."

"Good job, now, I have backup on the way."

Suddenly, the spider struck the energy construct; one hit causing cracks to appear in the energy wall. "Damn, that things strong."

"What's the problem?"

"I don't think my cage is going to hold this spider for long."

"Calling Supergirl."

Quasar frowned as the spider struck his energy barrier again, breaking a hole in the wall before the spider ripped the rest of the construct apart. The creature hissed sending a shiver down Quasar's spine. "Damn this thing is strong." Quasar floated up in the air to get a little distance from the spider. He fired multiple energy blasts at the creature, but it just shrugged off the blasts like nothing could affect it. "How in the hell did these guys keep this thing detained?"

He noticed the spider take notice of his four agents and the four unconscious gun runners that were now tied up and ready for transport to the DEO. The spider moved toward the agents Quasar shot forward landing in front of the spider just as one of its legs came down to crush the agents. He caught the leg with both hands holding it in place using his strength that was enhanced by the Quantum Bands.

Quasar's eyes glowed with power as he held the massive spider leg in place. His bands pulsed sensing the presence of another alien energy signature, but this one was a known quantity, Supergirl. She landed beside him. "Need some help?" she asked with a smirk.

However, before Quasar could answer another leg of the beast moved forward striking Quasar in the side and sending him flying into the wall of the warehouse, crashing through the rusty metal wall before it collapsed on top of him. "Wendell," Kara yelled, but her concern was cut short as another spider leg struck her from above and into the pavement under her feet. She grabbed the leg and the strength of the monster was unimaginable. "Brainy!"

"What's wrong Kara?"

"This thing is strong, stronger than me or Quasar," she said, panting from her exertion. "You need to figure out how to stop it." She fired her heat vision at the creature, causing the creature to screech, which caused Kara to wince at the high pitch sound. The creature removed its leg and backed up.

"Kara, you okay?"

"Yeah, my heat vision hurt it, but it's scream is disorienting, my super hearing is too sensitive."

"Running a database check. Keep it busy. Spiders have an aversion to cold."

Kara smiled at the suggesting, standing up and walking toward the beast; the creature moved two of its legs toward her, but Kara let loose a powerful blast of freeze breath, hitting the creature head on, making the spider screech again. Kara winced at the noise, but she was better prepared for it this time.

A noise behind Kara drew her attention. She turned to see a giant glowing hand move the metal wall and drop it onto the empty pavement. Quasar stood up. He had a split lip and a black eye forming. The hit was so hard that it had allowed some energy to penetrate Quasar's force shield. Kara sighed because it looked like Wendell wasn't that hurt. "I'm glad..." She never got to finish her statement as the spider made its move, sending forth a spray of thick webbing that encased the Kryptonian from head to toe.

"Kara," Quasar yelled. He was scared for Kara but he couldn't let that distract him. "Time to armor up." His body glowed causing a set of golden armor made of light to cover his body, even placing a knight's helmet on his head. He looked down at his left hand to see a golden mace and in his right hand a large war hammer. "Time to go all medieval on your ass." He flew forward at full speed striking the spider with all his strength and power, knocking the creature off its ten legs and crashing into the pavement ripping it up before the creature hit the concrete retaining wall. Quasar stood up just in time to see a leg coming his way; he crashed his war hammer against the leg, but the hammer broke in half on impact. The spider screeched in pain, moving another leg forward, but Quasar was ready as he smashed his mace on the leg, causing the leg to break before his mace dissolved from the impact.

The beast roared in rage before sending two legs forward, hitting Quasar from both sides; his armor cracked under the impact, but before the creature could hit him again a strange sound echoed from above; the sound of singing, in a language unknown to Quasar. The spider stopped moving toward him and instead the creature turned to look at a tall and beautiful orange skinned woman with flaming red hair. She hovered in the air, her glowing green eyes locked onto the spider as she continued to sing. The creature began to sway to the sound its body began to glow a soft pink color before the spider began to shrink in size until it was the size of a tarantula. Quasar just looked on in wonder as the woman landed on the ground and walked over to the spider placing a metal box over it before the box sealed shut holding the now small spider securely within. The woman smile before walking toward Quasar.

"I am Koriand'r of Tamaran, this was my Snare Beast, a gift from Hawkgirl."

Quasar was stunned; that spider was a pet. "That's an awfully dangerous pet."

"Aw, Kelly wouldn't hurt a fly."

"Well, sorry to break your bubble, but Kelly took a few good shots at me and my..." He paused remembering Kara. "Kara," he yelled running toward the ensnared Kryptonian. Just as he reached her two beams of heat vision burst forth from the webbing, barely missing Quasar's face. He moved quickly out of the way just as Kara broke free from the webbing. He caught her as she fell forward. "Are you okay?"

Kara forced a smile. "Yeah, just really tired."

Koriand'r stepped forward. "Kara, it is so good to see you, friend."

Kara smiled at the Tamaran. "Kori, what are you doing here?"

Quasar smiled. "Yeah, it sounds like the giant spider is Kori's pet."

Kara looked from Quasar to her alien friend. "Kori, that thing is your pet?"

Kori smiled, her teeth a brilliant white. Kara was always so jealous of the Tamaran; she was so beautiful and was a good six inches taller than herself. She stole a look at Quasar, but he wasn't even looking at Kori, instead he was looking at Kara and smiling; she blushed knowing that she got caught looking at him. Kori smiled at the two. "I must be going, the Titans will be looking for me, but she stopped not realizing that she hadn't gotten the name of the handsome blond man that her friend Kara was clearly infatuated with. "Excuse my rude behavior. I did not receive your designation."

Quasar smiled at the funny way Kori spoke. "I am Quasar."

"Quasar," Kori repeated. "A good name, we can be friends?"

Quasar smiled. "I'd like that Kori."

"Good," Kori yelled before she pulled Quasar into a hug, lifting him off his feet. Kara's eyes narrowed at the gesture. Kori let go of Quasar before she grabbed the metal box off the ground and flying into the air. "Farewell friends," she stated before waving and then flying off into the air.

Quasar waved goodbye to her before he turned to look at Kara. The Girl of Steel stood with her hands on her hips glaring into the sky in the direction in which Kori had flown off. "Kara," Quasar said. Kara turned to look at him, her glare only softening a little. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Kara huffed before she flew into the air, breaking the sound barrier as she flew back toward downtown.

Quasar looked after her before he turned to the four agents that were leading the four criminals toward the DEO van that just parked next to their SUV. He turned towards his fellow agents. "Was it something I said?"

The agents only shrugged their shoulders as they continued their jobs. Quasar sighed. "No matter if its Earth women or alien women, I'll never understand them."

"Yes, the female is a strange anomaly," Brainiac Five said.

Quasar rolled his eyes. "Thanks Brainy, you're a big help."

"You are most welcome." Quasar sighed before he turned and walked away to help his fellow agents clean up the scene.

AN: There you go, another chapter and I couldn't help to throw Starfire into the mix.
