Chapter 14 – Morgan Edge, Part 1

Earth 138 – 2019

It is now May 2nd 2019, the heroes are just a few weeks away from the wedding of Kara and Mon-El and hopefully the villains can give them a break at least. Barry and Iris are helping Kara and Mon-El to get ready for their upcoming wedding, the wedding is going to held at St Augustus Church and it is same wedding receptions that Barry and Iris did during their wedding.

Mon-El and Kara went to buy a wedding dress, Barry and Iris took them to try out their wedding suits because they're going to needed it during the wedding the receptions. Besides Barry and Iris, Kara's adoptive sister Alex is with her along with Lucy, Clark, Lois, Wally, Caitlin, Sara Lance and even Eliza Danvers.

"Barry, I'm not one to complained but I look like a monkey in this outfit" says Mon-El/Valor. "A very cute monkey" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Wow, you look nicer and beautiful in a dress" says Mon-El/Valor. "Like a real Princess" says Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost.

"Or a consort" says Iris West-Allen. "Well, every King or Queen needs a consort after all" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

Suddenly, Kara's phone buzzed and it was text message from Samantha Arias.

Hi Kara, this is Sam. Ruby and I have decided to come to your wedding, just text me the location – Samantha Arias.

Kara replied back.

Thanks for accepting my invite, just be sure you don't go all out rampaging on my wedding – Kara Danvers.

Kara ended the texted with a smile emoji, Kara hope the cure that Sam was given manage to contain or control Reign the same way Caitlin did with Killer Frost.

"Look at you guys, it reminded me of my own wedding days" says Eliza Danvers. "Mom, please don't cry in front of my friends and it is really embarrassing" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "I believe you should save it during the wedding, Eliza" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

Meanwhile back in the DEO, J'onn J'onzz is now greeted with Argus Agent John Diggle or Spartan as he was called.

"You must be John Diggle or Spartan" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "That's me, Director J'onzz" says John Diggle/Spartan. "Well, thanks for coming on behalf of your ARGUS Agency" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "Yeah, you did tell me that you needed some help since we're making a joint effort" says John Diggle/Spartan.

"Well, just last year someone steal a DEO specialized weapon and sold it to the black market. Since that incident, the DEO is losing employee faster than I suspected and I need a solution to stored produced weapons so that it can be operated to the selected agency particularly the DEO and ARGUS" J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter explained. "Well, ARGUS is not easy to safe keep sometimes so I believe we have to let the JLA keep it and the Watchtower is probably the safest place anyone can think of" says John Diggle/Spartan.

"Well, I need to talk to Barry Allen about this and we're a team now meaning no more secrets" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "Yup, don't worry I'm sure the JLA and Barry will understand" says John Diggle/Spartan.

Suddenly, one of the DEO Agent Vasquez receive an unexpected news.

"Director, sorry for the interruption but I have some news that you want to hear" says Vasquez. "Alright Vasquez, what is it?" J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter asked. "We're being dismantled sir, ARGUS too" says Vasquez. "I don't understand, we never done something wrong and we did our job well for the committee to let us be a legal agency" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "I don't know, but this information came directly from the White House" says Vasquez.

"Morgan Edge, he's trying to get rid of us and Supergirl" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "I'm sorry sir, I'm just delivering this order" says Vasquez. "Thank you, that's all and dismiss" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter.

John Diggle manage to text his wife and it was true, ARGUS and DEO have been dismantled by the government.

"Morgan Edge is trying to take us out, one by one" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "Yeah, ARGUS and DEO have to hand over everything they have to the government" says John Diggle/Spartan. "Not quite, I'm not letting that bastard wins" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter.

Then, John Diggle and J'onn J'onzz decide to take any weapons that are valuable to be transported to the Watchtower.

The specialized weapons are now inside the Watchtower, Barry was immediately informed about it and Barry is not letting Morgan Edge taking over the Government. The JLA is facing a villain alliance led by Savitar, but Barry realize that a more powerful foe is coming to Earth and Barry needs the entire member of the JLA to be ready.

"I heard what happen, it's good thing the DEO and ARGUS came to me" says Barry Allen/The Flash. "Yeah, I've thought about it too" says J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter. "So, where should we place this weapon?" J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter asked. "Come with me" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

Therefore, Barry show the DEO and ARGUS agent to the armory where the specialized weapon are being stored.

J'onn J'onzz were surprise to see the armory in the Watchtower, the specialized weapon were being stored here and it is safer from anyone since Barry manage to solve it after the incident with Clifford DeVoe and Savitar.

"Where did you and your team got these weapons?" J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter asked. "Some of these we made it ourselves, the rest is from ARGUS and it's hard for most agency to keep their weapons a secret since most criminals manage to steal it then sell it" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

"So, it's safe to put it here?" J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter asked. "Yeah, we don't exactly trust any agency from the government to keep it" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

Back in National City, Kara and Mon-El is now resting even though Kara's been working with Iris for only a month but Iris was generous enough to let her rest since her wedding is due to happen next month.

"So, where do you want to go on our honeymoon?" Mon-El/Valor asked. "Well, I was thinking Hawaii or even Miami" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Well, we have time to decide before our wedding next month" says Mon-El/Valor. "So, how long is this temporarily job with Iris suppose to last?" Mon-El/Valor asked. "Iris told me that I can stay as long as I got old job back, she was happy to have me" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl.

"I'm happy to have Barry and Iris helping us, it's not easy to find good friends and I never had friends after what happen to my home in Daxamite" says Mon-El/Valor. "Me too, our friends help us when we needed the most" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Morgan Edge is going to be sorry, we're going to kick his ass" says Mon-El/Valor.

After settling down, Barry and Iris arrive at Kara's apartment for a visit since Iris needs to make sure her new assistant is doing well.

"Hey guys, thanks for coming" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Anything for my friend and assistant" says Iris West-Allen. "So, we brought you something to eat since it's going to be nighttime soon" says Barry Allen/The Flash. "Wait, you're staying for dinner?" Mon-El/Valor asked.

"Yeah, I think our kids like having you guys around" says Barry Allen/The Flash. "So, have you guys decided where to go during your honeymoon?" Barry Allen/The Flash asked. "I'm still working on that" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Kara, you have plenty of time to think about it" says Iris West-Allen.

Suddenly, Kara somehow heard an unknown figure whispering and Kara quickly take Barry with her to the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Barry Allen/The Flash asked. "We're being watched Barry, I know because I can hear their heartbeat" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Morgan Edge is not giving up, stay here and I will take care of it just tell me where they are" says Barry Allen/The Flash. "Sure, they just left my house and heading for the roof" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Thanks, partner" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

Then, Barry speed to the roof and beat down the unknown figure that turn out to be thugs run by Morgan Edge. Barry return back to the apartment to take a break after speeding towards the Watchtower, the evidence along with suspect is now kept safe in the watchtower and for now the superhero couple will enjoy their dinner.

On the next day, Brainiac 5 along with Cisco Ramone, Curtis Holt, Winn Schott Jr. and Felicity Smoak is now arriving at the watchtower to analyze the data files on the thug's hard drive.

"So, Winn tell us how did you found out Kara was Supergirl?" Felicity Smoak/Overwatch asked. "Actually, she kind of told me and I have no idea how Supergirl knew my name until Kara showed me" says Winn Schott Jr. "That's intriguing" says Brainiac 5. "What about you, Brainiac 5 and what's— "Please, call me Brainy and no need to get formal" says Brainiac 5.

"Are you an alien too?" Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific asked. "Yes, but I'm also an artificial intelligence" says Brainiac 5. "Awesome, so you're basically like a computer slash alien" says Felicity Smoak/Overwatch. "Not quite a computer, but I'm smarter" says Brainiac 5. "Cool" says Cisco Ramone/Vibe.

[Phone vibrating] "Hey Winn, your pocket is vibrating" says Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific. "What…oh, I'll be right back and it's my girlfriend" says Winn Schott Jr. "Life is too short dude, take the initiative" says Cisco Ramone/Vibe. "Duly noted" says Winn Schott Jr.

As the tech expert try to decrypt the hard drive, the other heroes are still training and Imra Adreen aka Saturn Girl is now interacting with the Green Arrow.

"So, you must be Oliver Queen?" Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl asked. "Yes, you are Imra Adreen the one who unofficially married Mon-El and I'm curious about it" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. "Yeah, it was a condition that he have to accept before joining the Legion of Superheroes same way you did when you join the League of Assassin" says Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl.

"Honestly, I never have any choice when I first became an assassin and it is the only I have to save my friends" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. "So, you married Nyssa Al-Ghul then your friends survive?" Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl asked. "I was assumed that her father would kill them either way, so I've manage to stay step ahead of him" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

"I take it that Nyssa didn't like the idea" says Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl. "She didn't, but it had to be done" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. "So, what happen to her?" Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl asked. "She disappears like a ninja, I haven't seen her since last year" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

"Well, it is a breakup once the League is disbanded?" Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl asked. "Yeah probably, we barely spoke" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. "That's a tragic story, why don't you spar with me?" Imra Ardeen/Saturn Girl asked. "Okay, just don't hold back" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

Imra heard everything about Oliver from Kara, the way Imra married Mon-El is exactly similar to the way Oliver and Nyssa married. Imra have to admit that Oliver was skillful in many ways, Oliver and Imra both surprise each other with their skillful hand to hand combat but Oliver can do it all day.

Eventually, the tech team manage to decrypt the hard drive that they have and there were tons of files the tech team got.

"Morgan Edge doesn't care about anyone else but himself" says Winn Schott Jr. "Well, corrupt people like him cannot hide forever" says Felicity Smoak/Overwatch. "Amen" says Cisco Ramone/The Vibe.

Suddenly, Winn notice one file that was familiar substance to Kara and it was a Black Kryptonite that was used against Reign once.

"Oh no, that's Black Kryptonite" says Winn Schott Jr. "How many colors does Kryptonite have anyway?" Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific asked. "A lot, but the Black Kryptonite can be used to split a personality and that's how Samantha manage to control Reign by taking away Reign's evil persona" Winn Schott Jr explained. "Yes, Kara did use it but I'm afraid something happens to Kara and there is a possibility that Kara's own evil persona is gone after that but I'm not sure what happen to it" says Brainiac 5. "Well, we better hope that we won't have to deal with an evil version of our friends or ourselves" says Cisco Ramone/The Vibe.

Meanwhile back in National City, Samantha Arias and her daughter Ruby is now staying at Kara's apartment since Sam's home got a pipe leak meaning the house won't be fixed another 5 days.

"Thanks, Kara for letting me and my daughter to stay with you guys" says Samantha Arias/Reign. "Anything for you" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Look, I just want to let you know if it comes to being arrested and I wanted to face it but not alone" says Samantha Arias/Reign. "Sam, all of us will be with you if that ever happens" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl.

"So, did Maggie accept your invitation yet?" Samantha Arias/Reign asked. "No, she hasn't decided yet" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Maggie doesn't want to see me, that's why" says Alex Danvers.

"Alex, don't say that and you know that deep down Maggie still care for you" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "I know, I wish I could a find a way to forgive her" says Alex Danvers.

Suddenly, the door open and it was Maggie along with SWAT team which it is unexpected for them come here.

"Maggie, what's going on?" Kara Danvers/Supergirl asked. "Police Business, someone try to kill Morgan Edge and the Mayor yesterday but was unsuccessful except for a few people that didn't survive. The evidence points to her, Samantha Arias" Maggie Sawyer informed. "No, she was with us yesterday and that's not true" says Alex Danvers.

"I know, but I'm just doing my job and it's an order from my Captain" says Maggie Sawyer. "Please, don't take my mom and she's innocent!" Ruby Arias begged.

Maggie felt bad but there is no other choice, the SWAT team handcuffed and Sam didn't resist being arrest.

"If you guys really want me in your wedding, then you have until this Sunday to appoint Sam a good lawyer because Morgan Edge got the court on his payroll and Sam will face execution" Maggie Sawyer explained.

Samantha Arias is now put inside the Police Car bound for the Precinct, Ruby was crying but Alex manage to comfort her.

"Ruby, we promised you that we're going to get your mom out" says Alex Danvers as Ruby nodded. "We need to tell Barry about this" says Mon-El/Valor.

Then, Kara along with Mon-El, Ruby Arias and Alex Danvers head to the Watchtower to talk to Barry and the rest of the team.

"Wait a minute, Sam is arrest for attempted murder?" Barry Allen/The Flash asked in shocked. "That's impossible, I was with her yesterday" says Felicity Smoak/Overwatch. "Me too" says Dinah Drake/Black Canary. "Anyway, we need to get Sam a good lawyer and we need time until we can find more evidence" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

"It won't be easy, we have until this Sunday to get not just a lawyer but evidence or Sam is going to face execution" says Lucy Lane. "Well, you got one" says Earth-2 Laurel Lance/Black Siren.

Everyone turned to face Earth-2 Laurel Lance, she is now wearing a new dress attire that look similar to the attire that Earth-1 Laurel wear during a court or trial.

"Laurel, you look like beautiful" says Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. "I think I'm going to cry" says Felicity Smoak/Overwatch. "Wait, what about the whole dead thing?" Kara Danvers/Supergirl asked. "People still think that you're dead, Laurel" says Dinah Drake/Black Canary. "Well, if you're resurrected from the dead then that's a different story" says Sara Lance/White Canary.

"Do you really think they'll believe it?" Brainiac 5 asked. "My dad did pull some strings for me, so I can work my way through the holes" says Earth-2 Laurel Lance/Black Siren. "Okay, half of us will accompany Sam while the rest of us can search for the more evidence in one of his building" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

"Okay, but remember we got one shot to do this" says Sara Lance/White Canary. "Stronger together" says Kara Danvers/Supergirl. "Amen" says Barry Allen/The Flash.

TBC.
