A/N: Next week looks very busy for me and I do not believe that I will be able to update. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I will be posting in two weeks, :) Thanks for reading!
Chapter 26
Kara lashed out, catching Pestilence in the jaw. The Worldkiller tumbled backwards and landed on the pavement. Before she could do anything, the blonde was sitting on her chest, using her face as a punching bag. Then suddenly Pestilence kneed her in the back forcing Kara forward. The move put her right into her enemy's arms and the woman began to squeeze. Kara cried out but then used her heat vision to force Pestilence to let her go.
Mon-El jumped into the fray and he found Pestilence's strength to be disconcerting. Despite two Kryptonian's punching, kicking, and using their heat vision, the woman just kept coming at them, giving as good as she got. Then without warning the Worldkiller crumpled to the ground.
"Looks like she found you huh?" Clark asked. He'd punched Pestilence in the back of the head and that had done it. The ability to defend off three attackers was too much. Quickly, Kara grabbed some of the ruined police car's frame and twisted it around Pestilence's wrists.
"Hopefully that will hold her for now," the blonde heaved a sigh. Cars and utility vehicles with their sirens on full blast pulled up to the scene and Mon-El rushed back to Maggie, whom he'd left off to the side of the road for her safety. Alex charged over to him and yelled for medics.
"She was taking on the both of you like it was nothing," Clark frowned as he helped Kara pick Pestilence up and they hauled her into the waiting DEO transport.
"I'm taking her to the DEO. You finish up here and we'll reconvene when you're back," her cousin told her. Kara nodded and watched him pick the transport up and fly away with it.
"He have a handle on her?" Mon-El asked.
"For now. She seems much stronger than Reign or Purity. How is Maggie?" Kara wanted to know.
"I think she'll be ok. Let's help out and then get back to the DEO as soon as we can," he said. His girlfriend was about to say something when the news crews showed.
"Oh Rao," Kara heaved a sigh. This meant it would be all over the news and once again questions would arise regarding whether Supergirl and her companions were actually making headway against the new menace attacking the city.
"Well it looks like Pestilence will get her fifteen minutes of fame after all," J'onn frowned as he approached the two of them.
"I guess so," Mon-El shook his head.
"You two get back to the DEO and make sure that Pestilence is secured. Winn was working on something with synthetic Green Kryptonite that should allow us to keep Pestilence under control while we take blood samples and try to figure out who she is," the Martian informed them.
"Does Clark know? He is not going to be happy about all this synthetic stuff that we're making. To be honest it doesn't make me very comfortable either but we need to stop these Worldkillers before they live up to their name," Kara admitted.
"He doesn't know but I'm sure he'll know by the time you get back," J'onn said before heading back toward Alex, who was trying to get Maggie to stop fighting with the EMT's that she needed to go to the hospital.
"Oh joy," Mon-El frowned as he and Kara took to the skies.
"Sometimes we have to do what we have to do, whether we like it or not," she said.
"If the DEO figured out how to make synthetic Kryptonite, that doesn't mean our enemies won't figure it out," he pointed out.
"Agreed but right now it's the only way to handle the Worldkillers," the blonde frowned as they landed on the balcony at the DEO. They were met by Clark.
"Did you know what they were doing?!" He demanded.
