Chapter 8: Carrie VS. Rachel
"But… I don't understand, why didn't mama ever tell me about you? & What have you got against me Rachel?" Carrie asked in shock, of learning that her recent attacker, was her own sister.
"The fact that mama was nice to you & brought you up better! I had to be raised by our demonic father, then a nutcase of a stepmother after dad died! & then to top that off, you murdered her!" Rachel yelled at Carrie in rage towards her confusion.
"Rachel, that's not true, Mama was really horrible to me! She died from self-defence…" Carrie called back.
"LIAR!" Rachel Roared, causing one of Ivy's vines to launch for Carrie, only for Carrie to block it.
"Rachel stop it, I don't wanna fight you, but you're not giving me much choice." Carrie said, trying to remain calm.
"You haven't got any choice Carrie, its fight to the death between us, & can guarantee I will end you, since you're so pathetic, you couldn't even kill yourself!" Rachel provoked, before Carrie screamed a shockwave at Rachel, sending her crashing through the remaining plants of Ivy, & into the opposite apartment building.
Carrie then freed Harley, Ivy & Catwoman.
"Jeez, your sister had got real anger issues." Harley said.
"Anything we can do…" Cat asked, before her, Harley & Ivy were blown a mile away by Rachel.
"Yeah, get lost!" Rachel provoked, before Carrie caused a lamppost fall on her, before getting back up & charging into Carrie.
(Meanwhile…)
Harley, Ivy & Cat struggled to get up, while pushing off knocked over trash bins & garbage they crashed into on touch down from Rachel's attack. As they got up, they noticed their arch-rival: Batman standing over them, alongside with Superman, who had recently arrived in Gotham to assess the situations with Carrie & Rachel.
"Looks like you three are bit down in the dumps." Batman joked in a serious tone, before the three gave him a death stare each.
"Cut the Jokes Bats, besides that's my job, & why is he here?" Harley replied seriously enough to give Batman a slap.
"Easy Harley, I'm here because Batman called me & told me that Rachel Lang White was here, & that she's trying to kill her sister Carrie, who we also know is with you guys." Superman replied.
"Yeah, we get your concern, But Carrie did what she did because she had tolerated a lot of bullying and abuse since birth, & on prom night, everyone pushed her too far…" Ivy added into detail of the situation.
"We also know that, but let's get details later, where are Carrie & Rachel anyway?" Batman asked in serious concern.
"They're both at a basketball about a mile that way. You best get there quick, with their powers at whatever rate, their fight may bring Gotham down." Catwoman said, pointing in the direction they were at before being blown away by Rachel.
"I'll see if I can stop the fight, Batman, you best get anyone within the area away, so no more people get injured." Superman suggested.
"Good plan, I'll be there shortly." Batman replied, before Superman flew off to towards the fight.
"I suppose you three will want in on this as well, I wouldn't recommend it…" Batman then said as he turned back to Harley, Ivy & Cat.
"Want to? We need to, Bats!" Harley said in all seriousness.
(Meanwhile…)
Superman was flying towards the fight, until he saw people running & screaming, while objects such as lampposts, lumps of concrete, bricks & parts of houses were being torn out of place by Carrie & Rachel as they continued throwing everything at each other with their powers.
"Give it up Carrie! This is your end!" Rachel called at her sister.
"Never!" Carrie called back.
"Stop it, both of you!" Superman called as he landed near towards the two sisters, as they turned towards him.
"You Again?!" Rachel growled.
"Rachel, stop this, I don't know what Carrie has done to make you hate her, but she's your flesh & blood, you don't even know her that well…" Superman said, trying to calm Rachel.
"All I need to know is that my real mother is dead because of her!" Rachel roared at Superman, while pointed at Carrie.
"And that makes you so different? What about when your father was killed?" Superman asked.
"He deserved it! He put me through Hell since birth, so I ended him! Carrie had no reason to kill mama! Now get lost, I've got someone to finish!" Rachel roared again, before lasers fired out of Rachel's eyes, sending superman crashing into a series of buildings, before turning back to Carrie, & shooting her too with her laser vision.
Rachel then walked up to an injured Carrie's body, before picking her up by the throat, ready to end her.
"Y-you k-killed d-dad?" Carrie groaned in pain & horrifying shock.
"If only you knew, you might as well see, before you die…" Rachel said, before placing her left hand on Carrie's head.
Carrie Screamed as the shock from Rachel, blasted images into Carrie's mind. Carrie saw horrifying images, of a young baby Rachel, being shouted at, shaken & even smacked by Ralph White, as Rachel cried & cried. The images kept coming in, until Carrie saw the final moment where Rachel sent a screaming shockwave, causing the house where they were to collapse on top of Ralph, before fading out back into reality. Rachel still had Carrie in her neck grasp.
"I'm sorry it had to end this way…" Rachel said, as she charged up her powers, ready to end Carrie once & for all, when suddenly, Carrie grabbed the sides of Rachel's face, using her power, blasting her past into Rachel's mind, causing Rachel to gasp.
Rachel saw all the abuse Carrie had taken from Margaret, from being bashed with bibles, to being locked in a prayer closet. As with Carrie, the images & moments kept pouring into Rachel's mind, right to when Margaret tried to kill Carrie, but only to be killed herself, & have Carrie cause the house to crash down on her & Margret's corpse.
At that Moment, as the memories faded out, Rachel let go of Carrie, as Carrie stood back up, realising through all of her rage, Carrie was never lying. Carrie had suffered just as much abuse from their mother, as Rachel had from their father. The two teens then stared at each other, realising what they were, after all they had been through, and knowing they now couldn't carry on their fight, as tears began forming in both their eyes.
"C-Carrie, I'm… I'm so sorry…" Rachel squeaked in regret, before bursting into tears, & hugging her younger sister.
"I'm so sorry too Rachel…" Carrie squeaked, as she burst into tears, embracing her older sister's hug, & hugging back.
Superman, Batman, Harley, Ivy & Cat then came running into the area, only to stop at the sight of the two sisters hugging & crying.
"What th- is this a trick?" Batman asked, causing Superman, Harley, Ivy & Cat to look at him, then at each other, wondering what had stopped this destructive battle, before turning back, as Carrie & Rachel then parted from their hug & stood towards the others, raising their arms in the air, signing that they surrender to whatever fate may be coming their way, as police cars, vans & Helicopters began piling into the area, with armed police aiming their flashlights & guns at them…
To be continued…
