Chapter 6

"I've got the car on the left. You want to take the one on the right?" Leo asked while he and Kara were flying over National City.

"Road rage. It's always men too." Kara commented before speeding forward. Leo stopped one car while Kara stopped the other. The driver of the car that Leo stopped immediately got out and started shouting at Leo for the damage done to the car as well as his nose.

"Consider it your medal of honor for getting into a fight with another car that nearly led to getting a bunch of kids killed. I'm sure all your coworkers will think you're the greatest war hero ever." Leo said calmly before flying away, Kara following after him.

"That guy was so infuriating. Why did you just let him say those things?" Kara asked as they flew towards DEO headquarters.

"Kara, getting angry won't do you any favors. People fear those like us with powers. Not because of them but because what could happen if we ever lose it. Having powers means that we have a greater moral obligation than the common man. Not less. It's not easy. That's why you always need to find your center." Leo explained. Kara contemplated his words for the rest of the flight back.

"Agent Titus. Your snark will get you in trouble one day." Hank commented when Kara and Leo walked in. Leo simply shrugged, letting his armor dissipate after pulling out the Fullbottles.

"Lord's on a defamation spree on the two of you now." Vasquez pointed out, replaying a recent news conference featuring the inventor.

"Yeah well he isn't so squeaky clean himself. I'm just waiting for him to give me a good reason to drag him through the mud. Right now, he's better use out there than anywhere else." Leo said with a shrug.

"Wait, have you been spying on people? All those times I was out alone?" Kara asked.

"I prefer the term, reconnaissance on a potential enemy." Leo responded with a dismissive wave.

"Fine. I'll let it go since I don't really like the guy all that much. You up for some food? I could use a little snack before going back to work." Kara said, changing into normal clothes.

"Sure, why not." Leo said, letting Kara drag him to the car before driving over to Noonan's.

"I didn't know Lucy Lane was in town. This might be a point of concern." Leo said as he noted James and another woman in one corner of Noonan's.

"You know Lucy Lane? And what do you mean point of concern?" Kara asked.

"Last I heard she joined dear old dad in the military. Old man Lane isn't you and your cousin's biggest fan." Leo said, taking a sip of his coffee. He noted Lucy walking over and told Kara not to mention their conversation on her father.

"Hey Kara. Thanks for the invitation for game night. It's nice to see you again Leo. I didn't know you knew her." Lucy said when she came over to their table.

"She's my fiancée actually. We've been dating for over two years. I didn't know you were in town. Is General Lane around too?" Leo said tensely.

"He is coming to National city soon actually. It was nice meeting you both. See you guys tonight for game night." Lucy said before leaving.

"You alright there James?" Kara asked when she and Leo walked over to his table.

"Yeah I'm fine. Lucy wants me to meet her dad for dinner when he comes to town." James said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you and old man Lane with his anti-alien tendencies didn't get along." Leo said. James couldn't help but chuckle at the bluntness of the statement.

"Yeah. He didn't like me on account of me consorting with aliens. Speaking of which, I hope you don't mind me inviting Lucy for our game night." James said.

"It's fine. The more the merrier. Besides, it'll help to keep this guy here honest." Kara said elbowing Leo in the side causing him to grunt.

"Hey, it's not my fault you and Winn get tricked so easily. Let's get you to work before Cat Grant gives you an earful. I need to get down to the University to meet a student for a consultation." Leo said. The pair said goodbye to James or see you at work in Kara's case before Leo guided Kara out of Noonan's.


"Alex what are you doing here?" Kara asked as she greeted her adoptive sister. She had just walked out of Cat's office after a tense standoff between Cat and her mother. Alex didn't say anything, instead walking up to Winn and asking if there was a place they could speak in private. Winn led them to a secluded conference room, locking the door behind them.

"I need you to help me hack into the DEO main frame and find out what happened between my dad and Hank." Alex requested.

"Hold on. That's a bit extreme even for me." Winn responded.

"Mom said the last thing dad did before he died was work with Hank Henshaw. I, we need to know what happened to him. Please Winn. It'll give us some closure and help us find out why Hank is so different that what mom recalls." Alex pleaded.

"Wait, why isn't Leo helping out with this? I mean if Kara wants to find out wouldn't Leo devote his resources to this too?" Winn asked, gesturing to Kara who was giving him a pleading look to help out as well.

"He is but he hasn't told us if he's found anything yet. If there's one thing Leo likes to do it's keep things close to the chest but his methods won't involve hacking servers of anything of that sort. So, we're hoping whatever you find will be different or add to whatever he's found." Kara said.

"Fine I'll do it." Winn relented. Alex and Kara cheered only to be interrupted by Hank who told them to get to the DEO as soon as possible. When they got there, they were surprised to see Leo already there as well as military personnel they did not recognize.

"Oh joy. Old man Lane is here. Wonder what he could possibly want." Leo said with an eye roll as an aged man walked up to the DEO team.

"Director Henshaw, I need you to sign over two of your agents to me temporarily." General Lane said.

"And why would you need two of our agents for?" Hank asked. General Lane gestured to the rest of the convoy after introducing his daughter. They brought out two large human sized containers that opened to reveal two robots.

"These are the new red tornado units. I would like to have them tested against Supergirl and Build. I believe these two will leave them in the dust." General Lane said, giving a not so subtle look to both Leo and Kara.

"Bring it on." Kara said.

"Good that we are in agreement then. Let's set the match to take place tomorrow and may the best team win." General Lane said with a smirk.


"I still can't believe I have to fight some android tomorrow. How are you not freaking out Leo?" Kara said as she paced around their hideout at CatCo. Winn and James were seated by the computers while Leo was simply writing some stuff on a white board.

"I guess that explains why Lucy's dad is in town." James said.

"I'm not freaking out because the outcome of the battle frankly doesn't really concern me. Old man Lane can kiss my ass for all I care. Hank's just doing this to amuse the old man and besides, you really think you're going to lose to a freaking android? Also, shouldn't you be more concerned with the wedding planning? You're supposed to be meeting the wedding planner in about half an hour to finalize the date and venue?" Leo said casually, causing Kara to freak out as she had forgotten all about the meeting. She quickly ran off back to her desk to grab her belongings as well as remind Cat of the time off she was taking.

"What exactly are you working on anyway?" Winn asked, gesturing to all the calculations on the white board.

"Oh this, it's just some calculations on the build driver. Some reflow theory work to try and bolster the driver's efficiency." Leo said before Kara barged back into the room.

"Leo what are you doing? We need to go meet the wedding planner now!" Kara shouted at him before walking away to get to the carpark.

"Well if you'll excuse me boys, I need to go be a good fiancé. And by that, I mean saying yes to whatever my future wife wants for the wedding. We'll see you both at game night." Leo said, giving James and Winn a mock salute before chasing after Kara.


"You seem a little tense." Leo said after Winn, James and Lucy had left following their game night. Leo came over and sat on the couch, pulling Kara onto his lap. One hand was wrapped firmly around her waist, Kara curling herself as much as she could into his body while the other was tangled amongst her blonde locks.

"It's nothing. Just seeing the way Ms. Grant and her mother interact, makes me respect and sort of feel sorry of her. I don't think I could ever have such a relationship with my mother. Both biological and adopted. Also, all this wedding planning seems really daunting. I mean we only just settled the date and the venue. There's still the guest list, décor, food not to mention the dress." Kara said, purring as she felt Leo's hand move from her hair to her back.

"I'm also guessing Lucy's hard exterior to you and her old man's anti-alien sentiment isn't helping either." Leo added. Kara simply nodded, struggling to stay awake.

"Lucy's a nice person. She's expects high standard of people only because she puts out the same. But she has a good heart. Her old man on the other hand's a nasty traditionalist. I think you've just had a long day. And the wedding is still some ways away. Take everything one step at a time Kara." Leo said, his soothing touches having lulled Kara into semi-sleep. He placed a kiss on the top of her head before moving her to the bed and helping her get changed into a set of pajamas before joining her in bed and letting sleep claim him.


"So how are we doing things?" Leo asked as he and Kara stood facing the two androids.

"This will be a simple session of you two against the androids. Good luck." Alex explained before walking away to the tent.

"No pressure huh." Kara muttered. Leo simply shrug before inserting a blue then yellow pair of Fullbottles into the driver and spinning the lever.

"Dragon. Lock. Best Match. Are You Ready? Sealed Fantasy Star, KeyDragon, Yeah!" The driver announced as Leo was enveloped in blue and gold armor.

"Just so you know, if anything happens I'm calling an end to this test." Hank said.

"Thankfully for you, I don't fall under your jurisdiction." General Lane countered.

"I've got twenty bucks on the two androids." Dr Morrow said.

"I'll put forty on the alien and Build." Alex countered.

The start of the training match was indicated by a flare flying overhead. The two androids started their attack first. Their hands spinning at high speed to create strong tornadoes that they used to try and blow both Kara and Leo back. Leo noticed what they were doing and stabbed the bind master key into the ground to brace himself as the winds blew over him. Kara couldn't get enough purchase and was sent backwards by the tornadoes. She recovered quickly however and took to the sky.

The androids used a different tactic, changing instead to firing missiles from their hands at Kara and Leo. Leo used the bind master key and the flames from the dragon half body to destroy the missiles before they hit him. Kara was hit by two missiles at first, not expecting the change in tactic before she figured it out and was able to dodge the missiles with ease.

"Kara go underground. They can't track you beneath ground. You think you can like them up for me?" Leo said over their private channel. Kara smirked and allowed two missiles to impact each other, covering her disappearance.

"One set of androids waiting for you to finish them off coming right up." Kara said before bursting out of the ground and sending both androids into the air. Leo took the opportunity and spun the lever.

"Ready go! Voltech Finish!" the driver announced before Leo launched chains from his left arm that wrapped around the two androids. He then launched a fireball at the two androids, causing them to short-circuit as they hit the ground. They were prepared for another attack however when both android seemed to recover from their attack. However, rather than attack them, the two androids instead took to the skies and disappeared.

"What the heck just happened?" Leo asked as the people watching from the tent emerged.

"They activated their self-preservation protocols." Dr. Morrow explained.

"This is the fault of the both of you!" General Lane said angrily.

"I'm sorry was I the one who asked to have a practice match with androids? A practice match which you clearly didn't set ground rules for considering the android were using missiles and aiming to hurt? Is it my fault that when I retaliated in kind those androids decided to do fly into a hole and hide their heads?" Kara countered angrily.

"That's enough Supergirl. Arguing with the old man won't get anything done. Can you see them?" Leo asked.

"I can't." Kara responded, scanning the skies to see if she could locate them.

"Of course you can't. they're in stealth mode right now." Dr. Morrow said.

"I guess we'll just have to wait till they show themselves and then total them on the spot when they emerge." Leo said with a shrug.

"For once we are in agreement. I want those two androids found and destroyed." General Lane ordered.

"You can't. The amount of effort that's gone into the two of them. Imagine how much resources would have been wasted, the setbacks!" Dr. Morrow defended.

"I don't need failure here Dr. Morrow. Frankly speaking as of right now, both your androids and you are a failure. Thank you for your time." General Lane said, dismissing the scientist who stormed off angrily.

"We'll work on some way of tracking those androids. For now, I want all eyes and ears open for any trace of where those two machines could have gone." Hank ordered. The DEO agents nodded and headed back towards their headquarters to get started.

"You should probably head back to CatCo Kara. I'll keep you posted if anything on the androids come up. See if you can get Winn and James to help us out too. If nothing else happens I'll see you at CatCo for Lunch." Leo said, giving Kara a hug before the two left to get their work for the day done.


"Leo! The two tornado androids are here!" Kara said to him through the comms. She had been having a round of drinks with Cat after her boss had noticed her starting to collapse from all the pressure she was putting on herself. The two had a talk that led to Kara understanding the importance of managing pressure and expectations from both herself and others. At the same time, James had been having dinner there together with General Lane and Lucy. They were all just leaving when the two red androids showed up and started targeting General Lane. Their first hit was Lucy who had been sent flying into a table.

"Heard. I'm on my way now." Leo said flying towards the location of the two androids.

As soon as he landed he quickly changed forms into his KeyDragon once more. Splitting up the androids, engaging one in close combat while throwing fireballs at the other. The androids however decided that they had to escape in the interest of self-preservation and launched a tornado at Leo. Leo wanted to dodge at first but then realized that it was headed straight for a busy street, equipped his Cyclone half body and created his own tornado that cancelled the android's one out. By the time the two tornados dissipated, the androids were back in their stealth mode and undetectable.

"How could you let them get away? If anything else happens it will be on you and the DEO's head!" General Lane said angrily. They were now back at the DEO and were having a debrief on Leo's fight with the androids.

"I'm sorry he has a moral code that wouldn't let innocent people get hurt General. If you don't like the way he works why don't you go get your rocks off and go after that android yourself?" Kara countered, having joined after she managed to get away from Cat.

"You know maybe you should be thanking my agent for all he's done. I know for a fact now that the androids were designed for dealing with metahumans and aliens. So, you would think you could show a little more gratitude for my agents risking their lives for a problem you created." Hank returned calmly. General Lane could only mutter angrily before stepping out of the DEO.

"Did you manage to find anything from Maxwell Lord about the android? I've looked over the combat footage as well as the rest of the footage pieced together. The androids were targeting General Lane. Which seems highly odd given that Dr. Morrow said they were in self-preservation mode." Leo said brining up said footage for everyone else to see and pointing out his observations.

"He was surprisingly helpful. He says it isn't an android but actually a drone. So, it isn't impossible to believe that these androids are being controlled by Dr. Morrow. We'll need to find him if we really want to shut it down." Alex said, referencing her earlier talk with Maxwell Lord.

"With all this info we've gathered I think I may have a way to stop the androids for good and find Dr. Morrow. But I'll need General Lane's help. I want everyone to prepare for a confrontation with the androids while I get everything together." Hank said. Leo nodded and headed back to his lab, Kara and Alex following behind him.


"So how did the chat with Cat Grant go?" Leo asked as he studied some of the Fullbottles that were on the table.

"It was good. I think I finally get why I've been so on edge. It's just that with everything going on with the wedding and work and being Supergirl that I've been letting the pressure and expectations get to me. Speaking of which, I've set up the first meeting session between the décor people and the wedding planner next week so we can start finalizing the details. Also, I need your guest list soon so that we can plan the décor around it." Kara said. Leo simply nodded and told her that he would have it ready by the following day.

The rest of the time was spent talking about random topics especially between Kara and Alex while Leo got to work on something on his desk. Kara was about to ask what it was but their time was interrupted by Hank who said that he had managed to get everything together and would put the trap in place tomorrow. He told the three to go home and rest so that they were prepared to face the androids tomorrow. Leo dragged Kara out of the lab after Alex said goodbye, making sure to seal the room behind him.

"You still haven't answered my question. What exactly were you working on just now?" Kara said, pulling Leo closer to her as they walked towards the car.

"The Hazard Trigger. A power up item to bolster the output of the build system. It was the thing I've been working on for some time now. I'm worried Kara. Not about the androids but about your Aunt. She and whoever she is working with is still out there. I just want to be ready so that I can protect everyone." Leo admitted. Kara stopped and placed her hand on his cheek.

"You will. We'll face whatever comes together. And as long as we face things together, there is nothing that will stop us." Kara said before kissing Leo.


"It's as you predicted Hank. The two androids bought the bait." Leo commented as the two androids landed at the hologram of General Lane.

"Agent Danvers is tracking down Dr. Morrow. Hopefully once she manages to find him she can shut the androids down for good. For now, I need you both to keep them occupied. Do not let them get away again." Hank ordered.

"I've got the one on the left." Leo said, diving the android and pulling it with him away from the other one, leaving Kara to deal with it while he kept the one he dragged along occupied.

"This is Agent Danvers, Dr. Morrow is dead. Did it stop the two androids?" Alex asked over the comms some time later after she had managed to track down Dr. Morrow and killed him in the ensuing altercation.

"Affirmative. My android has stopped moving." Leo confirmed.

"Wait. They just started moving again!" Kara shouted in worry as her android which had stopped for a moment was now moving once more.

"They've gone sentient. I don't think I can stop them from here." Alex said.

"Supergirl, use your heat vision destroy the android!" Leo said, swapping out the Hawk and Gatling Fullbottles for a Red and silver pair.

"Phoenix. Robot. Best Match. Are you ready? The Immortal Weapon, PhoenixRobo, Yeah." The driver announced as Leo's orange and grey armor was replaced with red and silver with his left arm taking the shape of the claw. He then cranked the lever again, his body floating off the ground before he was enveloped in flames in the shape of a phoenix.

"Ready Go! Voltech Finish!" The driver announced before Leo dived at the android taking it into the sky with him before both him and the android were engulfed in flames, the android overheating and exploding into pieces not long after.

"Are you alright Supergirl?" Leo asked as he landed on the ground.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I used my heat vision to get rid of the android." Kara said tiredly.

"Good job everyone. Return to the DEO for a debrief. After that you all should get some rest. You've earned it." Hank said over the comms.


"Where is my car? I need to get to the airport!" Cat's mother berated Kara as she walked into the office. Kara for her part could only look on in shock since she hadn't received any request for a car.

"Kitty how could you deal with such an incompetent and worthless assistant?" Cat's mother said to Cat. Cat for her part simply looked up at her mother before continuing on with her work.

"First off mother, Keira is my assistant not yours. Therefore, as an employee of my company, she has no obligation to be doing anything for you. Secondly, as my assistant, you are not allowed to speak to her in that way. Now I think you need to quickly find yourself a transport to the airport or you will find yourself late for your flight. Have a good day mother." Cat said dismissively. Cat's mother could only look on in shock before gathering her belongings and leaving.

"Thank you for standing up for me Ms. Grant." Kara said.

"It was no problem Keira. After all, I do like to rain on my mother's parade. Now if you don't mind, please get me my aspirin." Cat said, taking a seat at her couch where Kara handed her the medication and a glass of water. When Kara went to put the glass down however, she dropped it instead.

"I'm sorry about that. Let me clean that up." Kara said, bending down to pick up the glass shards.

"Be careful. Let me get something to clear that with. You might cut yourself." Cat said, moving to her table. Kara yelped and recoiled when she felt pain on her finger. She held it up and was surprised that she had been cut by a piece of glass and her finger was now bleeding.

Down to votes again!

Build Genius will be the endgame form this is confirmed after the recent episode with the form in action although I will be tweaking its capabilities as more is revealed about what exactly it can do. Cross Z Magma is confirmed but how that form comes about will be vastly different to what happened in the series. (No getting hit by evolt's funky red beams) But there are still other things to vote for.

1) Evol Driver

A recent review piqued my interest on how Evol's overall theme as a truly evil rider wouldn't really fit and so if enough people vote against this, I will be doing away with Leo using the Evol Driver for a period of time and skipping straight to Genius form. My logic is that the powers of Genius form are specific to countering Evolt. While it does make sense to skip straight to his Genius Form, him wanting to use the evol driver gives a target for him to work towards throughout the show as he improves the rider system (Pushing his hazard level to 5.0 and drawing out the evol bottles from his body)

2) To move Crisis on Earth X to post Reign Arc.

I want opinions on moving the crossover event for season 3 to the end of the season. If I do move it, the plotline will be greatly different. Either way, I plan on introducing an OC villain for Leo to fight and it's position in the series will determine the tier of villain. If enough people want me to move it to the end then we'll get an Evol type villain. If it stays in the original place, I might have a Blood Stalk or a Mad Rogue as the main villain.

3) Mid Story Baby

Any opinions on Kara and Leo having a kid within the story? Somewhere in early season three? Or maybe even end of season 2? Let me know your thoughts.

Till next update!
