Chapter 29

On The Edge

Part 5

Disclaimer: And here we go! Wouldn't be doing this so soon but I felt a pull to do it up. Although, had I not been so sidetracked by my shiny new PS4, I woulda been writing this earlier on today. Anywho, on with the show and the final part of the 'On The Edge' case!


A Short Time Earlier With Kara And Friends

After having to unfortunately re-locate to another base of operations, which turned out to be Lombard's spacy studio apartment, worry and the like began. Along with quickly getting things set up to continue the fight against Morgan Edge. Some were worried that Edge may still be following them and could spring an attack on them at any moment. Some worried and felt that the fight against him was just turning out to be nothing more than a hopeless cause. Kara and Barry however, were primarily worried about their friend and boss, Jonas/Oliver. Since he had allowed himself to be captured by Edge's goons. Adam however, was feeling rather pissed off with how events had occurred and it wasn't helping that several of Winn and Lombard's people were, to him at least, acting like cowards where Edge was concerned. And it wasn't long before he spoke up as Barry and Kara quietly conversed with one another.

"For such a force against Morgan Edge, some of you are really startin' to sound like a bunch of wimps." Scoffed the man and got more than one angry look in his direction.

"What the Hell did you say!?" Demanded to know one unhappy individual.

"You heard me as I sure as Hell didn't stutter. The very second something unfortunate happens and your boots start to shake. Its no wonder you guys haven't been able to accomplish anything truly ground breaking with crap like that."

"Well, this could get ugly." Muttered Barry quietly to Kara, who just nodded in agreement with a frown on her face.

Unhappy murmurs could be heard as Winn, Lombard, and even Lyra watched Adam take their people to task in silence. "My mom, the woman you all know as Cat Grant, was a go-getter no matter the cost. And I would have thought that to have rubbed off on all of you. But it seems like it hasn't and that's pitiful."

"But Edge has connections, connections that could get us killed!"

"Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't. But that's a risk you have to take if you really want to bring the son of a bitch down! Just like my mom would have done! Are you, or any of you willing to do that? I seems Winn is considering the last place we were in was his home, it seems Lombard is, hell even Lyra, Kara, and Barry here are willing despite those two having been in Central a majority of the time this crap has been going on! Their boss even willingly got himself kidnapped just to get a chance at Edge! Can any of you say you would do the same!?"

The room was quiet as the Edge fighters processed his words, making him scoff in annoyance and walk off. Missing the looks that was being given between Winn, Lombard, and Lyra. Kara however, chose to step up to allow herself to be seen. "I know some of you may not remember me, but I worked for Ms. Grant as her assistant until we lost her. And from what I remember of her, Ms. Grant would want us to do our absolute best no matter what. If you don't think you can do what's needed to get justice for her and bring down Morgan Edge, maybe this isn't for you and you may want to think about that. Because my boss and friend put his life on the line for all of you and the memory of Ms. Grant. Would any of you be willing to do the same?"

This made the group think even more as she walked away to re-join Barry. "So, have you been able to hear him with your powers?" He asked quietly.

Kara just shook her head. "No, for all I know, Edge did this to try and counter my Cousin if he got involved. Could be why he hasn't found anything even with his limited attempts on it."

"Smart criminals, there's a scary thought."

"Yeah, I'll say." Both suddenly remembered the time with Bernedette Rogers and shuddered.

Especially as they thought of how much worse that whole thing could have been had she ever gotten involved with Edge! "Guess its a good thing he brought that tracker." Muttered Barry a few moments later.

Which gained him a nod of agreement from his friend. "Yup! Which means its time for me to get involved." She replied in a somewhat nervous fashion.

Knowing it wouldn't escape the attention of her mother and sister and probably get lectured again! But it would be worth it if it helped in the long run in some form or another. "You've got this, Kara, Jonas and I both have faith in you."

Kara gave him an appreciative smile for his words of support. "If anyone asks where I'm at..."

"I'll tell 'em you went to make a phone call to a friend of Jonas' to get their help on this." Finished Barry.

Something he himself might do anyway since Jonas had given them a contact to call from Starling City. "Well, here I go." Sighed Kara before taking a deep breath and quietly making her leave to grab the suit her Cousin gave her and go from there.

Now In Present Time!

After having made use of the tracking equipment Jonas had brung with them, it hadn't taken long for Kara to find her way to this dingy and abandoned 12 story complex on the fringes of National City. It also hadn't taken long for her to decide to just crash her way in and get the party going. Something she knew Jonas would probably be unhappy about but she figured he could use the chaos to his advantage! Edge's goons had certainly did their best to stop her but it just wasn't enough thanks to her heritage! She was also glad that she remembered to take off her glasses this time as well! And despite the fact she hadn't been able to hear anything thanks to Edge's defenses, now that she was within the building, Kara was able to make use of her hearing and X-Ray vision. Happily allowing her to get to where she needed to be.

Along with feeling quite happy that Cat Grant was in fact, alive! Guess Edge never thought to line the stuff on the inside with Lead as well.

His lack of foresight in that area would definitely be his undoing! Especially since it told her he was threatening Jonas and Ms. Grant with a gun! "Can't have that." Mused the Kryptonian to herself and used her speed and flight abilities to crash through the door and knock him out in the process.

"What took you so long?" Immediately asked Jonas in a somewhat joking manner.

"Oh, you know, air traffic was murder." Shrugged Kara as Cat looked at the two with narrowed eyes.

Not having any issues at all in knowing just the Superman wanna be girl was despite it having been sometime since last seeing her. Looks like Kara and I need to have a talk and of course, this'll be another thing I'll be keeping to myself.

As throwing her life into chaos of a sort was a horrible way to repay someone who helped rescue you. Joans just huffed a laugh as Kara broke the lock to his cell to allow him out and then did the same for Cat. "Its wonderful to know you're still alive, Ms. Grant."

"Why thank you, I appreciate that. But what do they call you? Power Girl? Strong Girl? Superwoman?"

Kara couldn't help but chuckle over her former boss' straight to the questions manner. "Nah, I think I prefer Supergirl."

"Hmm… It works." Decided Cat after a moment of thought.

"Great, now that that's out of the way, I think its time we got out of here." Muttered Jonas somewhat sarcastically as he hoisted the knocked out Edge over his shoulder.

"Well, someone's cranky."

"I'm hoping to avoid being on the couch."

Kara would have said something but wisely kept quiet with Cat being in the room. "Oh, no longer a party boy either, Mr. Queen?" Wondered Cat as she sensed a potential hot news item.

Granted, it would have to wait until she got back control of her company as Edge had been quite willing to gloat over the fact he'd essentially gobbled it up and the like. "Life changes you, especially when you're believed dead. That's all I'll say, Ms. Grant."

"Fair enough. Now, let's get out of here as I've got a company to restore and sons to be re-united with."

The two members of JDI nodded and the trio made their way out. Stopping along the way to grab anything of Jonas' and perhaps anything of Cat's that might still be around. And once they were out, it was dark out and the Cops were just arriving. "Your doing, Supergirl?" Fake wondered Jonas as he looked at the oncoming sirens.

"Yep!"

15 Minutes Later

It hadn't taken long for the Media to get wind of everything as Edge was arrested and Jonas and Cat were seen to by paramedics. A touching reunion was even seen between the head of CatCo. Media and her two boys as News outlets replayed the footage that Winn and his group had done a short time ago to reveal everything they knew where Edge was concerned. As it seemed that Adam and even Kara's words had lit a fire under the group's collective ass to finally do something that would impact the man. No matter what might happen to them in the end. "I just want to thank Supergirl and Central City's own Jonas Dearden Investigations members for helping to bring down Morgan Edge and save me in the process. Both are a true asset to this world and I wish them all the success in the world. And while I will re-build CatCo. Media and make it even better, for now, I'm going to spend time with my sons as it is much needed after what Morgan Edge has put us through." Declared Cat to the News crews present with emotion to be heard in her voice.

Her arms around her sons with Kara and Barry standing near by, Jonas had been as well while trying to keep his face low since all the News outlets were a bit widespread, but the buzzing of his phone had caused him to go somewhere a bit quieter. The sight of the caller id saying 'unknown' made him frown but answer he would despite this issue. "Hello?"

"Impressive work with Morgan Edge, Mr. Queen." Declared a voice on the other end of the line.

A voice that made Jonas pale as it belonged to none other than Konstantine Kovar himself!


Author's Notes: Well, the day is saved but it looks like some R and R just isn't in the cards yet! How will Jonas/Oliver handle this particular wrinkle? Stay tuned to find out!
