Chapter Twenty-Six
End World part 4
Diana came to consciousness feeling herself behind held by someone incredibly warm, her head lying upon that person's shoulder. She can feel two arms holding her close to a female chest and can feel the person`s body moving breathing in and out.
"I…It can`t be," she heard someone whisper.
Then her eyes slowly opened, finding herself staring at a dark haired young woman, a very familiar dark haired young woman. Her heart jumped in her chest at the sight of the person who she was seeing, feeling her mouth dropping open in shock as she simply stared…not daring to believe it.
"L…La..ra," she whispered.
Then those blue eyes stared down at her, softening lightly.
There was no mistaking it, she knew those eyes…
"I`m glad you`re okay Diana," the girl who she once thought was dead answered.
The Amazon couldn`t even speak in her shock and Lara gently put her down on her own feet before facing forward again, as the softness that was in her eyes disappeared.
"La…ra, how…?" she started.
The girl of steel put a hand upon her shoulder.
"We will talk later," she answered, "But not know okay…I have another to take care of."
Diana turned toward Linda finding the blonde girl in the grip of the Kryptonite woman, Cassidy who was staring at the girl of steel as if she couldn`t believe it.
"Supergirl," she whispered, "That`s impossible…you died that day five months ago against that creature. How can you still be alive?"
"That`s for me to know and for you to find out," Supergirl answered her, her face devoid of emotions.
Cassidy smirked.
"Well, this changes thing a bit," she said, "Why don`t you say hello to your little clone?"
She pulled on Linda`s hair causing the blonde to yell out in pain. Diana glanced at the dark haired girl, waiting for her to ask how the clone was there but to her surprise, Lara simply narrowed her blue eyes.
"Hands off her," she said.
"You know, I was going to kill her because she reminds me of you so much," Cassidy said causing both Diana and Supergirl to tense, "But since you`re here…I might kill her just because she caused me so much fai…"
Diana felt a brief wind from beside her…
CRASH!
Cassidy was slammed into the far wall of the room, hold up by Lara who had her hand upon the woman`s face holding her there. Linda, now that Cassidy was no longer holding her, fell forward and lands upon the ground. Diana quickly ran forward kneeling beside her.
"Linda are you okay?" she asked.
"I…I`ll be fine," Linda whispered.
Diana turned her attention at Lara who was still holding the Kryptonite woman…with the woman`s body still glowing green.
"Kr…Kryptonite is your weakness," Cassidy gasped, "H…How can you still be this strong…?"
"Just because it`s my weakness," Supergirl answered, "Doesn`t mean I have to stay away."
She then slammed another punch into Cassidy knocking her out instantly. Supergirl then dropped the girl down unto the ground and took hold of the wall to steady herself.
"Well, my little training with growing my endurance of Kryptonite helped too," she continued.
She then turned to face the two girls in front of her and it was then that Diana noticed that Supergirl was dressed differently than before. She was now wearing a full body suit that showed all the muscle that she had something which Diana noticed with a light blush. She had forgotten how sexy Lara was.
Everything about the girl in front of her said powerful.
Supergirl walked forward and Linda slowly stood up, as the girl of steel`s attention was now focused upon her. Diana wondered what Lara was thinking face to face with her own clone.
"You…You`re Supergirl," Linda said, her voice shaking a little.
At that, a soft smile grew upon Supergirl`s face.
"And you must be Linda Danvers."
Diana blinked.
"H…How did you know that?" she asked.
"Well," Supergirl said, glancing at her direction, "Batman told me about her…To tell you to truth I was shocked at first."
Then she took hold of Linda`s form and then said.
"Come on, let`s get out of here since I know you can`t fly."
She took off and Diana followed after her, until they were all standing in the middle of a large opened space and Diana can see a city not too far away from them.
"Where are we?"
"Somewhere near Metropolis," Supergirl answered walking forward with both Linda and Diana following.
"H…How did you know that we were here?" Diana asked her.
Supergirl turned toward her.
"I heard someone yell your name out," she said, "The voice was so full of fear and concern…I just knew something was wrong and I flew straight here from where I was…I was worried about you."
Hearing this, Diana had a warm feeling grow in her heart.
"You're still my guardian angel," she said.
Supergirl stepped closer to her and took her in her arms, something Diana instantly responded with by encircling her arms around the girl's body.
"Always," Supergirl whispered.
Then a loud explosion caused the duo to remove themselves from each other facing the large figure which had landed there.
"Mongul," Linda said taking a stance.
The trio stood together as the warlord came to a stop near them.
"Well, well, you are alive after all Kryptonian," Mongul growled.
"Who are you working for Mongul?" Supergirl asked.
"I work for no one," the warlord spat at her.
"From the conversation I've heard earlier," Linda spoke out, drawing Mongul's attention toward her, "It seems whoever is behind this has something of value to you."
Mongul narrowed his yellow eyes.
"Great value indeed," he said, "The Key to my great planet size weapon…The War World. He will return it to me when I kill you Supergirl, the real one, not the powered down cloned version."
"If you want to fight me," Supergirl said stepping forward, and tightening her fists together, "I will not hold anything back, but before we fight ask yourself this? Will whoever is behind this give back your Key, even if you kill me? What makes you think that he won't kill you too?"
At that, Mongul frowned as if realizing this.
"Without your War World," Supergirl continues, "You're vulnerable to his power and there is no saying that he won't turn your own weapon against you and kill you off along with the rest of us."
Mongul turned his attention at her.
"Are you…implying something Supergirl?" he said.
"I am just stating the facts," Supergirl answered him.
Then a noise drew the group's attention as they turned around finding Cassidy who was walking toward them, a slight limp in her movements and even had blood falling from her head.
"You're still around," Mongul growled.
"He is here," Cassidy said falling to her knees.
Diana approached her and taking the woman by the clothes.
"Whom do you speak of?" she asked.
"The Master is here," Cassidy laughed out, "Your world is finished Supergirl…everyone will fall to his power…"
At her words, the sky above them started to turn red drawing the group's attention. Diana was staring at it in shock, noticing that a large thing, a spaceship with the shape of a star, large enough to swallow the entire sky was slowly appearing the power of the ship drawing energy from the air turning it red as thunder start to rumble in the distance…
"What in Hera's name?" she whispered.
Wayne Manor
Barbara blinked in confusion, noticing that the signals of the Beacons had grown stronger over the Planet and even with the ones in Europe which had all been taken care of, it seems that the signals is still strong enough to reach the other side of the globe.
She then turned her attention toward the news channel she had been following as a new update appeared upon the screen.
"…just getting words of a massive ship the size of an entire city had appeared above the area of Metropolis and the surrounding areas. The skies which are turning a dark red color have started to cause weather to shift rapidly and I am getting words of bad thunderstorms in Kansas and the tri-state area. Citizens are asked to stay in their homes…"
Barbara turned her attention toward another channel.
"…ransacked the nearby shops for supplies at the coming disasters grew worse as the hours go by, and they have been reports of vandalism and violence downtown Gotham City. The Justice League is going everything it could but it seems that whatever we are facing is too much even for our world's greatest heroes…"
She glanced at another screen showing the disasters that had been happening around the world…it was like the entire planet is panicking.
"Everyone is going insane," she whispered.
A grumbling thunder drew her attention toward the window noticing the red clouds and the sudden bad weather that she was watching on TV. She then put a hand upon her headset.
"Nightwing, this is Oracle can you hear me?" she said.
Statics.
She frowned.
"Nightwing, this is Oracle respond?"
More Statics.
"Starfire, KF, Batman, Wonder Girl, Raven, and Cyborg…Anyone?"
Statics.
Barbara then saw that her satellite screens she was using to contact and track the team was now showing nothing but a white static screen. She quickly typed in some codes to try to reconnect with a satellite but it wasn't working.
"Too much interference," she said, slamming a fist against the table in front of her, "DAMN IT."
With the Team
They had just taken down a Beacon and now were inside the Jet again flying off to another location when they noticed the red sky.
"What…is that…?" Nightwing said.
"Do you think it's the one Batman talked about?" Kid Flash asked.
"Probably," Starfire said, frowning.
Nightwing activated his com to hear nothing but statics.
"Com is down," he said, "I guess that thing is causing too much interference in the air."
"You can't raise anyone?" Kid Flash asked him.
"No," Nightwing said, "and even my GPS isn't working right…I hate to say it but we are on our own, c'mon, we have to find Wonder Girl and Power Girl along with the rest of the Titans."
"But what about the rest of the Beacons?" Kid Flash asked.
"I got a feeling that the Beacons aren't a problem any longer," Nightwing said.
"Do you know where Wonder Girl and Power Girl are?" Starfire asked him.
Nightwing chuckled.
"I always knew where they are," he said, "After all, I invented that tracking system."
With Wonder Girl
She was holding Cassidy by her clothes, her blue eyes glaring down at the Kryptonite woman.
"Why Earth?" she asked her, "Why this Planet?"
Cassidy chuckled.
"You know," she said, "I've asked him that question myself, and do you know what he answers me…because he can and because he has the power to do it."
Wonder Girl stared down at her.
"How can you turn your back against your own species?" she said, "You are Human too…"
"Humanity turns its back on me first," Cassidy growled, "I am simply returning the favor."
"Diana, leave it,"
Wonder Girl turned her attention toward Linda.
"But?"
"Linda is right," Supergirl told her, "We won't get anything out of her...but Mongul, you should know something of this guy right?"
The warlord who had stood silently on the side looked up.
"He is a Conqueror," he said, "His overwhelming psychic ability can control an entire world when they have his Parasites stuck upon them."
"That thing Starfire had stuck upon her," Linda said.
Wonder Girl remembered that thing only too well.
"Even I don't dare cross his path," Mongul told them, "Anyone would be foolish to think they can defeat a Conqueror, your Planet might as well surrender."
Wonder Girl noticed that Supergirl had stayed silent during the exchange and her eyes were closed and she then knew that Lara must be using her super hearing.
"There is chaos everywhere," Supergirl said as she opened her eyes, "The entire world is in panic at what is happening right now…and the League can't even deal with all of it by themselves."
Then the girl of steel turned toward Mongul.
"Mongul, if I promise you to get you your Key, will you fight alongside me?" she asked.
Wonder Girl was shocked.
Lara what are you doing?
Mongul glared at her.
"What makes you think I will fight with you?" he said.
"Without your Key, you are stuck on this Planet," Supergirl told him, "I may be powerful but if he is as strong as you said he is…then I am foolish to think that I can take him on alone. You and I both know that neither of us can beat him on our own…but together, we might have a chance."
The duo stood staring at each other and Wonder Girl can feel the sudden tense atmosphere in between the two Titans in front of her. It was a clash of will and from the expression on Lara's face; she knew that the girl of steel wasn't backing down from her offer.
Then Mongul moved forward and Wonder Girl along with Linda tensed, wanting to attack if the large warlord was going to fight…
"Till I get my hands on the Key," the warlord said, "and once I do…this little alliance of ours is history."
Supergirl actually smirked at that.
"Then I have no problem," she said, "But…can you fly?"
Without answer, Mongul's boots shifted and then the large alien took off into the air, leaving a trail of smoke behind him. Wonder Girl then sprung forward taking hold of her arm.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked.
Supergirl turned toward her.
"Choosing the lesser of two evils," she answered, "Mongul knew that whoever that Conqueror is, it's more powerful than he is. You and Linda regroup with your Team and help the League control this chaos…Mongul and I will deal with the Conqueror."
Wonder Girl approached her, her blue eyes searching the dark haired girl`s face for a few seconds before taking Supergirl's lips with her own. They tasted just as she remembered and she can feel Lara returning the kiss as their lips worked together in a beautiful harmony.
Then she broke it, leaning her forehead against Lara's.
"Don't you die on me this time, you hear," she whispered.
She heard the other girl chuckle softly.
"I promise Diana,"
Then she stepped back from the Amazon princess, their blue eyes still locked onto each others before Supergirl took off into the air following the trail of smoke Mongul had left behind.
Wonder Girl stared up after her, feeling her own fist tighten.
You better hold on to that promise Lara, she thought, for I wouldn't be able to bear losing you a second time.
An uneasy alliance is made...as the mysterious Master came into light...
