The Otherside of the Field
As Ben and the gang fled out of the abandoned factory, Huntress, with her hand over Kara's mouth, hiding behind a wall armed, and the Question in the opposite side, they waited for the intruders to leave. Once they left, Huntress double checked to make sure.
"Clear," said Huntress.
The Question emerged, and met up with Huntress and Kara.
"Who were those guys?" Huntress asked.
Kara didn't reply.
The Question was silent.
Huntress glared at Kara and warned her once more, but for the last time. "Do not, I mean do not leave this presence. Already we have the League tracking us," said Huntress, "Now they know where we are."
"Question, is how?" asked the Question.
Huntress shrugged and faced Kara.
"Don't leave the factory and that's final," she warned.
Kara began to be contentious.
"Why are you treating me like this?" she asked contentiously.
"Excuse me?" asked Huntress.
"Why are you treating me like this? This isn't..."
"I know what is not," Huntress snapped back, "But that doesn't mean that we remain cautious."
"By hiding?" Kara said, "I saw what those three did. They defeated Grundy with absolutely no problem."
"Must be mere luck, and if they do have what you saw they have, more times out of ten they are working for the Lords," she said.
"Yeah, but if you're wrong!" Kara snapped.
"Don't yell at me," Huntress clenched her teeth.
"Or what, you'll kill me?" Kara asked.
"I may not have Kryptonite to stimulate you, kid, but I have months supply of arrows with my name on it that have no problem marking a parking space in your heart," said Huntress aiming her crossbow at Kara. For a while they had a heated argument. It was until the Question stepped in just in time to break up the fight.
"Enough you two!" said the Question, "Enough blood was spilled already. We don't want another pint Huntress. Put the bow down."
Huntress eases the bow and puts it away. Kara stepped out of her fighting stance.
"We are not taking any chances if we go outside, risking the lives of others by our own mistakes," she said marching streight back to her room.
Just before Kara went her separate way, the Question stopped her.
"One moment, where are you going?" asked the Question.
"Why?" Kara asked.
That was when in that very moment when she a newspaper halfway out of the man's coat pocket. She took it, and read the headline.
"You saw?" Kara asked.
"Precisely," he said, "There may be a possibility that these people you saw today may not be the members of the League. In fact, they could be an independent force.'
"Force of what?" Kara asked.
"I don't know," said the Question, "But what you and I saw is true, we may stand a chance. But I'll be quite clear on this, we may not have a fighting chance in the highest ratio," said the Question.
Kara sighed. "But we have to try," she said.
"Emphasis on try. How?" he asked.
Kara pondered for moment before answering the very phrase, "I'm not sure."
Meanwhile with Ben...
Ben, Gwen and Kevin were in the other side of the street at Mr. Smoothies talking about what they faced - and what they saw.
"Are you sure we are at the right place?" Kevin asked.
"I'm sure of it," said Gwen, "Her energy is strong around this area."
"She might like smoothies, huh Ben?" Kevin asked facing Ben.
"I don't know, Gwen. Something or someone told us move out of that factory," said Ben.
"You mean that same factory where we fought that giant robot in?" Kevin recalled.
"The main question is that where did these arrows come from?" Gwen asked picking up one of the arrows she swiped.
Kevin took a look at it.
"Is it alien tech, Kev?" Ben asked.
"You might be a hero, Tennyson, but sadly you aren't that bright," said Kevin.
"Hey!" Ben retorted.
"I mean, come on. You have Earth-made wood carved shaft painted purple, a titanium arrowhead which the point of it has some sort of potent toxins on top, and the rest is just carved out by some archer," said Kevin.
"Or assassin," said Gwen.
"But, who would - on Earth besides the Forever Knights, and Animo, and..."
"Virtually none of those guys could handle a bow and arrow - a plain bow and arrow. Even if they did, who would put poison that is very unidentifiable on their point. I mean the substance is very unidentifiable. I'm not even sure it's an element off of the periodic table," said Kevin.
Ben and Gwen were surprised at Kevin's higher intelligence than about his car, alien technology, and everything else.
"What?" Kevin asked.
"Nothing," said Ben and Gwen in unison.
"Well, better all we know is that we better keep an eye on this chick," said Kevin.
"She may be the key unto finding grandpa," said Ben.
The moon waned in the sky as the Mr. Smoothies restaurant closed for the night. Ben and the gang were home way before the store closed.
However, in the other side of the universe, in the ruins of what was once Metropolis ever stood the ever famed Superman with his comrades, Wonder Woman, J'onn J'onns, Green Lantern, Black Canary, Flash, Batman, and Hawkgirl all stood in the preserved Batcave. The earth above was destroyed due to an overdose of nuclear blasts launched by nations all over the world. Unbeknownst to Kara and the others in Ben's universe, Batman was cracking the codes of the tracking device in Supergirl's costume.
"How long is it going to take you track Kara's coordinates?" asked a concerned Superman.
"Yeah, it's taking you days to..." Flash said before Batman told him to shut up.
"If you close your mouth faster than you can speak English, I can get done faster. So if you won't mind, I'm busy locating the coördinates for Supergirl," he said.
"I'm worried, J'onn," said Superman.
"Soon, you will be reunited with your cousin. And when we find her, we can take her to safety, like the others," he said.
"Superman looked at the trans-dimensional portal near the giant computer.
"I'm coming for you, Kara don't worry," he said.
Suddenly, Batman had located her.
"Found her," he said. Superman and the others rushed over to the computer screen and saw her sleeping in an old bed near Huntress. Superman growled at Huntress.
"She will pay for her treachery for the Lords," said an angry Wonder Woman.
"She already has," Superman growled.
"Activate the jumpgate," J'onn said.
Batman activated the portal, and a blue vortex appeared. When it cleared, it showed the image of a smoothie restaurant.
"We go in there, and get Kara," said Superman to his fellow Leaguers.
"Understand," said the Lords. Batman didn't say a word.
"Are you coming old friend?" Superman asked.
"No," he said, "In case you want this portal to stay open, I'm staying here. I'll be right here if you need me," he said.
"Suit yourself," said Green Lantern as they set off to Bellwood.
Meanwhile, Kara was sleeping in her bed that night. She twisted and turned. Nightmares it seems to be. Huntress was in her own bed twisting and turning as well - until she woke up. There she saw Kara twisting and turning in her bed. She was also getting to the point to scream and sob. Huntress came by to assuage her, trying to calm the young Kryptonian. After she did that. She kissed her goodnight and climbed back to her own bed. She slept near the Question - who shared the same bed with Huntress - all until they heard a sound. Huntress wakes up again, armed this time.
Question held her back and questioned her what's going on, once he heard a second thud.
"Kids," she said simply.
"You might need backup," said Question.
"But you aren't that powerful to stop the League," she said.
"Niether are you," he said, "But we can't put this kid into danger."
The noise got louder.
"What are you suggesting we do?" asked Huntress.
"We act," said Question.
Downstairs, a woman wearing a tiara with an enwrapped rope on her hips, slightly busty, have black hair, and wore a very small costume that resembled the American flag, a man with brown skin, wore a black and green costume, illuminated green, with a green power ring, a muscular man with an S in the middle, a man in a red costume with a lightning bolt on his shirt and in his helmet, a woman with wings and a maul, a woman wearing a tight, black suit with what appears to be black leggings, and a blue coat, and then a martian walked in the factory looking for the two fugitives, and Superman's cousin, Kara.
"Kara!" called Green Lantern.
"Kara!" called Black Canary.
"Supergirl!" called Flash.
Everyone was looking for Supergirl's cousin. This made Huntress worried. What made even more worried was that J'onn was scanning the area. She had to hide, and fast. Question was armed with a crowbar. It was effective, but it could be useless against the super-powered totalitarianists that nearly destroyed their home-planet.
Then without warning, Question bumped into the winged woman.
"Hi there, Mr. Philosopher," said Hawkgirl as she used her mase on the Question. The Question was on the ground bleeding. Huntress saw it and retaliated. Just before Hawk Girl used her mase, Huntress used her crossbow and shot 5 arrows at Hawkgirl. The other Lords saw their fellow Lord crumbling down.
"There!" Green Lantern pointed.
Meanwhile, Kara was asleep, until she heard a ruckus from downstairs. She woke up immediately. But what really got her was when she heard a huge explosion. She turned to the left and saw the empty bed.
"Oh no," she said.
She flew downstairs and saw Huntress on the ground. Kara picked her up.
"Go," she said.
"But.'
"Go!" she said.
Superman saw Kara on sight.
"Kara!" Superman called.
Kara backed away and began to make a run for it. Huntress blocked his way, and threatened to use her crossbow at him.
"Out of my way, traitor!" he yelled.
"You want her, you can go get her over my dead body," she said.
Superman was angry, he was about to end her, until Hawkgirl came in and pushed the Man of Steel out-of-the-way.
"Allow me," she said.
In the far side of the factory, she heard horrific screams from both the Question and Huntress.
"Kara!" yelled an angry Superman.
Kara had to think of something fast. She could fly out, but knowing Superman, he could make her look like a snail in comparison. But do she have any choice in a matter. By the time the Man of Steel finally caught her, Kara was thinking the unthinkable.
"Come here, everything's alright," he said.
Kara nodded.
"Come here," he said.
Again Kara nodded.
This furthered angered Superman.
"Come here!" he barked.
Kara nodded, but this time tears slithered down from fear. Superman came dashing to the far end with his supersonic speed - only for Kara to fly out.
"KARA!" he screamed.
Supergirl was flying as fast as she possibly could to get away from the angry Man of Steel. She was flying in supersonic speed, but not as fast as Superman. Growing tired of her insulance, Superman had no choice but to blast her out of the sky by using heat vision. He missed twice, but the third time, he hit her on the most versatile area of the body, the back.
Kara fell hundreds of meters down to the Earth's surface below.
She crash landed in a large cornfield. Kara gets up only for her to feel the Earth shake from a giant impact created by the Man of Steel.
"Kara!" he called, "Where are you?"
Kara walked as far back as the other Lords landed where the Man of Steel was at. they searched high and low, and Kara tried to avoid them at all costs. Eventually they gave up.
"Don't stress yourself, Superman," said Wonder Woman, "We'll find her."
The Lords - including Superman - all retreated. Kara saw them fly away (well Flash as we all know can't fly, but Hawkgirl carried him) leaving her to fall to her knees and the ground unconscious. with her wounds opened for Bacteria. Then suddenly, three teens saw her, and lifted her up.
