Chapter 35 Disorder
Metropolis: October 23
"Ben, hurry up will you!"
8 year old Ben turned around to see his older brother Johnny glaring at him annoyed.
"Will you hurry up and thrown the ball already!" he snapped swing his bat around waiting to swing.
"Okay, okay I'm throwing it!" yelled Ben.
"Don't suck this time!" called Johnny.
"I'm not going to suck" snapped Ben as he pitched the baseball.
Johnny sung at the ball hitting it and sending it flying ten feet away from Ben.
"What are you waiting for? Go get it!" ordered Johnny.
Ben glared at his brother. "You hit it that far on purpose."
"That's the point of baseball stupid, no go get it."
Ben grumbled as he dropped his glove to go after the ball.
It was a quiet day at Metropolis Park, the people of Metropolis were taking a relaxing afternoon, and everything seemed alright in the city of the Man of Steel lives…almost.
Ben finally got to the ball in the middle of the park. He bent over to pick it up. It was just at that moment when a portal opened up, people screamed and fled from the unknown portal. Then out came an unknown aircraft. Citizens all watched and pointed as it flew off closing the portal behind it.
"Whoa" gasped Ben.
Mount Justice: October 23
What was she supposed to feel? Alex had no idea; her body still just had this numb feeling to it. I guess she just still hasn't come to terms on what happened to them. She guesses the League members were excepting her to feel sad or shocked but she didn't know because her mind and body just felt numb. She could see her were teammates were each in their own state; M'gann and Robin looked the worst out all of them. Everyone on the team just looked so broken.
Maybe that's why she doesn't want to come to terms to what happened because she didn't want to feel broken. Or maybe she was already broken and there's just nothing left to feel? The team is supposed to do therapy, Alex doesn't want it but Batman and Martian Manhunter are making them.
So that is where she found herself today. Sitting across from Black Canary as she tried to take a guess at what Alex was feeling right now.
Alex sat there and listened to Canary talk, but her mind kept flashing back.
"I can't imagine what is must have been like for you."
Artemis disappearing
"To watch your friends, in a way your family die before you."
M'gann's cries
"And then in the end to die with Robin."
Wally's screams
Kaldur's last words
"It must have been horrible for you."
Robin's kiss
Alex jumped out of her seat and started to walk out the door.
"Alex! Where are you going?" called Canary.
"Just leave me alone." she snapped back.
"Alex we have to talk about this, you can't just ignore how you feel."
"You don't know what I feel" she shouted as she stormed out of the room.
She made a turn around the corner and bumped into Robin.
"Hey" he greeted.
"Hey yourself." said Alex.
"You okay, I thought you were talking to Canary." asked Robin.
"Yeah well it got cut short."
She made a move to go around him when he grabbed her.
"Wait, we need to talk." said Robin.
"There's nothing to talk about." said Alex.
She shoved passed him. "Alex, we have to talk about this!" yelled Robin.
"Why does everyone keep saying we have to talk? No we don't!"
"We can't ignore what happened" he whispered.
She knew what he was talking about. The kiss
Alex leaned up to him and whispered back.
"I'm not ignoring it. I just don't want to talk about something that didn't really happen. Everything we thought happened wasn't real. So I have no idea if what I felt during that time was real or not."
"I don't know either that's why I want to talk about it, that's why we need to talk."
"I don't want to talk….I…I have to go."
Alex turned around and ran.
Metropolis: October 23
The unknown aircraft was flying through Metropolis. Inside the vehicle were five people dressed in strange outfits. They spoke to each other in a strange language until the one on the right held up a box and their words revert to English.
"When can we see some cowboys?!" asked the blonde boy in the cowboy hat.
"Your obsession with the savages must wait Serifin" said dark skin man with the blue helmet. "Mother Box, camouflage all extra-terrestrial figures and scan the planet advice." he said into the box he was holding.
"What we seek is on world." Suddenly the box made a beeping noise.
"The new genisphere is on Earth!" cried the one girl.
"Then we shall take her back, the Forever people will not be denied!" declared the only big man of the group. "And whoa to any who stand in our way."
Mount Justice: October 23
Alex walked over to her closet and changed into her uniform of black baggy jeans, and a plan black shirt that hugged her body with bots. When she was putting on her shirt she could feel the mysteries scar on her back. She also put on her sliver bracelets that were given to her in July by an unknown person; they have saved her life more than once.
She then marched to the back hangers of the cave, she was about to walk out when Sphere rolled in front of her.
"Sphere, out of the way! I'm getting out of here, neither of you can come." she said to both Sphere and Wolf as he walked over to her. Alex pulled out her comma link and tossed it to the ground.
Just then Sphere's parts began to move and shift till there was a new up-grated motorcycle before her.
Alex turned her head to look at Wolf who also shared the similar surprise look she did. "Whoa"
She walked over to sphere. "You didn't tell me you could do this!"
Sphere gave a beep in reply.
Supergirl took a step away from the new super cycle. "Okay, there's only one thing left to do now."
Wolf gave her a look asking what.
"Take it for a ride."
Supergirl hopped into the cycle with Wolf. She examined the controls of the bike; they were different than the controls on her own bike. Some of the writing looked to be almost from a different world. She had seen foreign words in the books Kaldur reads or the stuff M'gann has.
"How do you start?"
Just then the cycle engine started, shot off in the air and out the door. Supergirl gave a cry of surprise as she held on for dear life. Soon they were up in the air flying in the clouds.
"How are they?" asked Batman
"I am still shaken by what you and I brought. One can only imagine what these youths fair." said Martian Manhunter.
"I know our virtual reality training simulation went badly, but I'd hoped the team would've rallied by now." said Batman
Captain Marvel and Martian Manhunter gave a surprised look before turning it into a glare.
"Trauma tends to linger, as I know you know, my friend." replied Martian Manhunter.
"Black Canary?" asked Batman.
"She has her work cut out for her." answered Martian Manhunter.
"Alex is with her right now talking." stated Captain Marvel.
"Recognize Supergirl: B04"
"Or she was."
Batman and Red Tornado ran to the hanger doors to discover it opened.
Batman turned on his comma link. "Supergirl, return to cave."
"Supergirl, return to cave."
Batman turned behind him to find Alex's comma link lying on the ground. He bent down to pick it up and gave an annoyed sigh.
"Red Tornado, close the hanger doors." He stood up and walked away.
As he was walking Black Canary ran to him.
"Where's Alex?" she demanded.
"She left the cave." stated Red Tornado behind them.
"What do you mean she left?! Where!" asked Black Canary.
"I don't know she threw away her comma link." informed Batman holding up Alex's comma link.
Black Canary started to run past him. "I'm going after her."
Batman stopped her. "No, you're needed here."
"Alex isn't even supposed to leave the cave, not to mention the fact that she's going through-"
"Whatever she's going through she may need to work it out on her own. She took Wolf, there's a tracking device on his collar so I'll know where she is at all times but for right now there are other children needing your help right now." explained Batman.
Black Canary sighed "Alright."
Eastern Seaboard: October 23
"This is so awesome!" yelled Supergirl. They did a loop in the air and flew straight until another aircraft cut them off.
"Whoa!" She swerved out of the way as the aircraft flew in front of them. Inside were six strange passengers looking angry.
"Return the New genesis and the other weapons you have stolen from us human." demanded the one in the helmet.
"Who are you? What are you-"
"Let's keep this simple" grumbled the big one of the group. "That belongs to us." he said pointing at sphere. "Give it back!"
Supergirl frowned, she didn't know who these people were but they had another thing coming if they thought she was going to let them call Sphere "it" and claiming it as an object.
"His name is Sphere and he's not yours." she grumbled.
The others began to stand up to fight when sphere let out a few beeps and the one with the helmet stood.
"Forever people stand down, this one is not our enemy, she saved the genesis sphere."
The big one had a dumb look on his face before he gave a sheepish smile.
"Apologizes, the Forever people embrace you as a friend ally and worthy warrior."
Supergirl groaned. "You're kidding right"
Mount Justice: October 23
Aretmis started at Black Canary in complete boredom but determination. She knew that everyone was waiting for her to break down in tears and start to cry but she was going to give into that like M'gann did. Artemis was determined to stand firm and strong.
"Look, me dying during the exercise may have starting things going south but I was coma girl. Missed out on all the fun of forgetting it was not real thing. So no trauma, no need for the shrink wrap." explained Artemis.
"You're too tough to need help." said Black Canary.
Aretmis slouched in her chair bring her feet up "Yeah whatever maybe."
"Or maybe too tough to admit you need help. Artemis it's not a sign of weakness to open up to your friends."
"I know that" grumbled Artemis.
"But you still keep secrets from them."
"You won't tell them! You can't!" shouted Artemis rising out of her seat.
"I won't, but you should. You could start by admitting you're not really Green Arrows niece." suggested Black Canary.
"Right, could you imagine what Wally would do with that." grunted Artemis.
"Interesting, so the person you're most worried about is Wally."
Artemis head shot up to look at Black Canary shock but she quickly pulled herself together.
"Where did Alex go?" questioned Aretmis.
"I'm not sure, but she's safe, Batman is keeping an eye on her." answered Black Canary.
"You are going to send her away now that she left the cave? Isn't that what you threaten her with?"
Black Canary looked surprised. "How did you-"
"Alex told me." stated Artemis bluntly.
Black Canary face went calm again. "You two are pretty close."
"I guess so."
"How do you feel about Alex leaving the cave?" asked Black Canary.
"I'm fine with it. She probably needs her space to cool off; it was probably getting too hard for her to act like she was okay."
"Kind of like how you're doing?"
Instead of snapping back that she was fine Artemis sunk into her chair. "Yeah, that's probably why we get along so well."
Metropolis: October 23
"Forever people?"
After making peace with the strangers Supergirl was then told their story as they flew across the Metropolis Ocean.
"Were young gods, new gods." explained the big one.
"Right" This was just getting stranger for Supergirl by the minute.
"They call me Serifin." said the small in the back of the air craft.
"I'm Dreamer, that's Moon rider and our leader Vykin." introduce the girl pointing to the other two of the group.
"Hm, I am named for an animal that does not exist on his world." said the big one. "But you may call me Wolf."
Wolf looked annoyed.
"This is Wolf" explained Supergirl pointing to her fur companion.
"Bear then, bear is ever better."
"I'm Al-"Supergirl stopped herself. "Supergirl, you can call me Supergirl."
"This is Mother Box the living computer." informed Vykin holding up the box remote in his hand. "She has tracked technology stolen from our home world new genesis, and she has found our rescue drill there."
They flew into the city at a construction site.
"It is beneath us." said Vykin.
"At a construction site, perfect place especially with a federal reserve conveniently across the street." said Supergirl looking at the building across.
She looked up at the Forever people who were just giving her dumb stares. "The government keeps money there." she explained.
"It's a heist! Come on partners, lets ride in there guns a blazing and round up some outlaws." declared Serifin taking out his guns.
"He watched a lot of Earth westerns." explained Dreamer.
Supergirl gave a sigh. "Yeah, well, there's a time to go in strong and a time to go in smart."
"It is your world, Supergirl. We shall follow your lead." said Vykin
"Yeah that may be the last thing you want."
Mount Justice: October 23
Kaldur sat with his head in his hands. He just walked in after Artemis; he could see on her face that she was upset. The whole team was in a different form of distraught. Alex left, Robin and Wally are in dark mood, M'gann would stay quiet but burst into tears every so often and Artemis was upset. Kaldur however was only racked with guilt.
"I was a general, but behaved like a solider, and sacrificed myself. I am no longer fit for command and must resign as team leader." announced Kaldur.
"Who do you recommended to take your place?" asked Black Canary.
"Aretmis is too raw and untrusting. Kid Flash; to rash and impulsive. Miss Martian remains too eager to please. Supergirl carried too much emotion and it seems to prefer not to deal with them and work alone." stated Kaldur.
"Making Robin the logical choice." replied Black Canary.
"But he is too young." argued Kaldur.
"Kaldur" she called smiling at him. "You're all young."
"I cannot shake this burden to him-not yet." Kaldur sighed "It appears I must withdraw my resignation."
Metropolis: October 23
They had just gotten pass the guards and now Supergirl was inside the tunnel with the Forever people. There were people moving the gold with stuff she didn't recognize as Earth tools there was also a drill that Vykin mention before. Now they just had to come with a plan. Supergirl had chosen to do things covert to give them the upper hand.
"That drill and those carts are the property of New Genesis. You will return them now!" demanded Vykin
However Vykin didn't seem to agree.
He walked out to the woman with red hair and the fat man.
"Wait!" called Supergirl. She followed after him. This must be how Kaldur feels. "Gold goes back too." she added.
"Interfere and things get ugly." warned the woman.
"I'm Ugly" said the fat man. Then shot at them.
Vykin created a rock wall to block the shot then pushed Supergirl out of the way as four probe robots flew over to him and started sending red electric shocks through his body. Vykin let out a scream from the pain as the rock wall vanished and more probe bots flew towards them.
Supergirl and Dreamer dove to the ground as the probes flew over their heads and towards Serifin and Bear; Serifin took out his two hand pistols and blasted the probes heading towards Bear. Moon rider tried to help their leader when a probe attached to his back sending rocks and dirt surrounding him trapped in a sphere.
"These weapons are not of New Genesis." announced Dreamer. "They are from the enemy."
"What enemy?" questioned Supergirl.
"The enemy, the gods of anti-life, these weapons are of Apocalypse."
Serifin blasted the probes surrounding Vykin. Bear tried to make a frontal attack on the thief's when two of the men wearing the strange tech slammed their fist to the ground. The ground beneath began to turn into soft soil and Bear sunk down to his chest. The red hair woman took out a red laser whip and made a hit towards Bear who was defenseless when Vykin brought up another rock wall to protect him.
"The confine of this tunnel in favor their weapons we must bring this battle into the open." declared Vykin.
Bear pulled himself out of the soil as Supergirl dig Moon rider free from the dirt sphere.
"More room at the top!" called Bear as he started to throw his teammates out through the opening they came through.
Another attack came towards them; Supergirl jumped in front of Wolf and blocked the attack with her bracelets. Bear grabbed Wolf and threw him up.
"Move" yelled Supergirl as ran towards him. He jumped up and Supergirl followed his lead. When she got up there the Forever people were waiting for her.
"I have no wish to prolong this battle." stated Vykin.
"You might have wanted to tell them that when you jumped out in the opening without a plan." remarked Supergirl.
The thief's followed them out of the tunnel with the drill.
"Finish them." ordered Ugly.
"Fear no, she will protect us." said Vykin.
"Are you taking about me or Dreamer?" asked Supergirl.
"The New Genisphere."
Suddenly Sphere flew out and started firing at the thief's.
"Cool…wait a minute Sphere is a she?"
"It's time." announced Vykin.
"Time for what?" asked Supergirl
"Taro!" shouted the Forever people
"Who?!"
A flash of light came and suddenly a giant blue and gold metal robot appeared.
Supergirl looked up at it. "Okay... that's new."
Mount Justice: October 23
Wally was lying on the chair upside down throwing popcorn into his mouth and eating it. Black Canary was looking at him with a look of disbelief.
"So you want me to believe that everything you went through including your own death of alien death rays you're peachy?" questioned Black Canary
"I'm very certain I used the words peachy but yeah I think you got the gest." answered Wally
"So you really have no interest in confronting your extreme exaction to Artemis death?"
Wally started to choke on the popcorn but pulled it together… "I-I rather talk about you babe."
"Wally, you're in denial."
He put his hands behind his head. "I'm comfortable with that."
"But for who long? As a hero you'll come across tragic situations a lot. Do you plan to conceal everything ever time it happens?" questioned Black Canary.
"Listen, I have had a man die in my arms trying protecting a stupid helmet he believed was magical. I watched as two of my teammates almost drowned and was helpless to do anything. I have seen my teammates and love ones die in front of me while I believed the whole thing was real and I had to hear how my best friend blew himself up with the girl we rescued and promised to have a life of freedom when now she's got to locked away here because someone might be after her and only to blow herself up to in that simulation. If I can handle all that crap then I can handle whatever life decides to throw in my face." stated Wally.
Metropolis: October 23
The metal man began to walk towards the thief's, the two goons slammed into the ground again to form the soft soil. But when it reached the metal man's feet he began to float off the ground. Laser beams shot out from his eyes hitting the goons and vanishing their weapons. The other's tried to shot the probes at him but he repelled them with his hand and flung them away with his other hand. The red hair woman sung her two whips at him, he caught them and eye beamed her weapons away, and then with a flick of his hands flung her away too.
The others brought up a boom tube tunnel and ran through it.
"Ugly wait!" called the red hair woman as she ran after them. But she was stopped as the metal man shot out a rope trapping her. Then he opened a tunnel under the drill vanishing it someplace else.
A flash of light appear and the Forever people returned again.
"What was that?" questioned Supergirl.
"Infinity Man. We merged to become part of the source, greater than the sum of our parts." explained Dreamer.
"Glade my teams not that close." remarked Supergirl.
"Lower beings tend to fear intimacy." replied Bear.
"Sometimes it's easier to just avoid it" admitted Supergirl.
"None of this makes sense." said Vykin. "How are these humans getting weapons from New Genesis and Apocalypse?"
"Why don't we ask her." suggested Supergirl turning to look at the red hair woman tied up.
They walked up to her as she gave a nasty glare.
"I'm not talking." she snapped.
"You were not asked." replied Dreamer as she put her hands to her temple.
Suddenly smoke appeared next to the woman to reveal the image of a deformed man in a rope as he gave a creep chuckle.
The Forever people held shock expressions. Dreamer gasped. "Dessad"
"Okay look I have been trying to be patient and helpful but I have the feeling that you haven't told me everything. What the heck it going on?" demanded Supergirl.
Vykin and Dreamer seemed to give each other a look before Viking gave a nod. Dreamer put her hands to the temple again and an image of two planets in space appeared.
"The news gods came from two worlds at war; those of us from New Genesis are gods of life, freedom, and the source. Our enemies of Apocalypse are gods of anit-life, slavery and degradation. This is Dessad, god scientist and chief torture of Apocalypse. His experiments are pure evil, his works abomination, his master-"
"Unspeakable" said the Dessad image as he gave a laugh.
Dreamer gave a wave of her hand the image vanished.
"He is seriously creepy." commented the red hair woman.
Supergirl gave an annoyed groan. What is with scientist being crazy evil freaks?
Mount Justice: October 23
Robin sat there in the chair across from Black Canary. His was mind racing on a hundred things but one thing kept coming back to him, Alex.
Where did she go? Did she really not want to talk about what happened to them?
"I'm not ignoring it. I just don't want to talk about something that didn't really happen. Everything we thought happened wasn't real. So I have no idea if what I felt during that time was real or not."
Robin had only kissed a few girls before but something about kissing Alex felt….unknown to him. It was a feeling he never encounter before. But did he feel that because they thought they were dying or was there really something behind that kiss.
Black Canary's voice brought him back.
"Robin, I understand you must be hurting."
He was the reason that Wally and Alex even died. It was his idea to go into that mother ship and Alex and Wally paid the price.
"Hurting? Try traumatized. I finally become leader and wind up sending all my friends to their deaths. I -I know I did what I had to do, but I hated it. When we first started this team, I was desperate to be in charge - not anymore. And - and that's not even the worst of it..."
Robin looked up at Black Canary. "You can't tell Batman."
"Nothing leaves this room." promised Black Canary.
"I always wanted - expected to-to grow up and - and become him. And the hero bit, I'm still all in. But that thing inside of him, that thing that drives him to sacrifice everything for the sake of his mission, that's not me. I don't want to be Batman - anymore." he admitted.
He was right he could never be Batman. Batman was strong and fearless but was scared the whole time, too scared to lose Alex, to sacrifice her for the sake of millions. Alex would have been a better deco, she probably would have given them more time as Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian went into the mother ship. If it was real he would have sacrificed millions just have Alex die with him anyway.
"Tell me about what happened between you and Alex before you died." asked Black Canary.
Robin thought back to what happened.
"I'm not ignoring it. I just don't want to talk about something that didn't really happen. Everything we thought happened wasn't real. So I have no idea if what I felt during that time was real or not."
To be honest Robin wasn't sure either.
"I don't know"
Metropolis: October 23
Once they dropped off the red hair thief at the local jail they followed the other goons until their reached an old abandoned harbor.
"Mother Box says that there is large amount of Apocalypse tech inside." informed Vykin.
Supergirl turned to the warehouse and used her infill red vision but saw nothing.
"I don't see anyone inside." she replied. "But we should go inside just to check."
The Forever people gave a nod in agreement and Dreamer set up an illusion to disguise them as two goons. They went in; Supergirl took a look around again.
"Still no heat signatures, place is definitely deserted." she confirmed as Dreamer dropped the illusion.
Suddenly the lights flashed on to show them surrounded by the goons with backup.
"Or I could be seriously wrong…..not the first." said Supergirl.
"This tech mask heat signatures and filters out illusion." explained Ugly. "We gotcha."
The goons started to attack and they all jumped in to fight.
"It is time!" called Vykin.
"Again?!" shouted Supergirl as she held the one goons sword away from her and kicked the other behind her.
"This won't take long." reinsured Bear.
Supergirl kicked another goon and the one in front of her. "Just go!"
The Forever people circled again and shouted there chant.
"Taro!"
Supergirl watched them transform. Then in a insist something flew past her, her eye only caught a glimpse of it but she knew who had thrown it and where it was going. It hit Infinity Man who then turned red and black.
"That can't be good." said Supergirl as she backed away with Wolf.
"Kill the girl and her little dog too." ordered Dessad.
Being stuck in therapy doesn't sound too bad right now for Supergirl.
Mount Justice: October 23
"It was my entire fault." said M'gann. "Hello M'gann." She hit herself on the head. "Who else could take a simple exercise and turn it into a nightmare that terrorizes everyone she cares about?"
"You've turned white." said Black Canary.
M'gann gasped standing up. "NO" she looked at her hands and relaxed. "Oh, you meant Caucasian. Yeah, I'm fine being Megan, but I can't be trusted to use my other powers." she explained sitting back down.
Black Canary leaned forward. "M'gann, you're a Martian. Not using your natural abilities is like me refusing to speak. Which, by the way, I tried for a while after my very first Canary Cry nearly deafened my entire First Grade class. So I get how you feel. But not being your self is never the answer. And it won't make your feelings of guilt go away. Learn from what happened. You uncle would be happy to train you. Practice until you have more control, and regain your confidence."
M'gann sat there for a moment before looking at Black Canary.
Metropolis: October 23
Supergirl screamed as she was thrown around by the controlled Infinity Man. Wolf jumped up to protect her but the Infinity Man swatted him away like a fly. It then picked up Supergirl and began to squeeze her.
"Dreamer, Bear…snap out of it you guys!" she gasped.
She could see Dessad and Ugly watching in enjoyment of her pain. Infinity Man squeezed tighter and Supergirl could feel her rips began to crack.
"AH" she screamed as her vision began to blur.
Just before she could pass out she was released and dropped to the ground. Looking up she saw Sphere on top of Infinity Man's head like a helmet as it began to change back into its original colors.
"Attack!" shouted Dessad. "Attack while you still can!"
Sphere can pulled out handles on the top.
Supergirl got off the ground with a grin. "Sphere you rock!"
She jumped up and took the handle controls.
"Open fire, all weapons!" shouted Ugly.
The goons began to shot, Supergirl turned the handles to have Infinity Man block the shot.
Supergirl looked down at Ugly "Our turn" She pushed the handles forward and Infinity Man let out a blast from its hand. Then reached forward and grabbed Ugly.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this." she cheered.
Then she gave a tug and Infinity Man threw Ugly up in the air accidental. Supergirl winched. "Or not"
As he came back down Infinity Man shot his eye beams destroying Ugly's weapons and ripping most of his shirt. He caught Ugly in his hands as Supergirl looked down on him.
"Talk about ugly." she remarked.
The other goons started to shot at them. Supergirl gave a jerk to the hand and Infinity Man walked towards the goon zapping away their weapons and shirts with its eye beams. When all three were pilled together Infinity Man and Supergirl stood above them with Ugly in its hand.
"Drop him" she instructed and Infinity Man dropped Ugly with the rest of the goons.
Dessad started to make an escape through a boom tube.
"All will suffer, all will suffer!" he chanted and threw a bomb at them. Infinity Man blasted it with its eye beams but then the thing exploded and the after effect hit them.
Supergirl then felt herself falling down hitting the ground as the Infinity Man disappeared back to the Forever people. When she got up she saw Sphere busted and leaking out oil.
"She's hurt!"
Vykin walked towards them. "The Damage may be beyond repair but Mother Box will try."
He placed the box onto of Sphere soon she started to revert back to normal.
"The healing process has begun and will be completed on New Genesis." said Vykin.
Supergirl turned to him. "Wait…what?"
"We thank you for your help Supergirl, but we must take the New Genisphere home now." explained Dreamer.
"No, no way!" protested Supergirl.
"Why should we leave her with you? To us she lives. To you, she's merely technology." argued Serifin.
"I'm not the one that called her an "it" and claimed her as yours when you first saw here." she said looking towards Bear.
"Isn't that what you did when you first met her?" questioned Vykin.
"No! It's not like that!"
"Then what is it like?" asked Bear.
"We bonded, okay!" she shouted.
The Forever people smiled, she was so confused.
"In fact it is, you may keep her." said Vykin.
"Only if she wants to." replied Supergirl turning to Sphere.
Sphere let out a few beeps.
"Of course she does, we knew that from the beginning." admitted Dreamer.
That's when Supergirl realized what had just happened and her face went red with embarrassment.
"You wanted me to say that didn't you?" she asked.
"You human's sometimes have trouble showing intimacy." repeated Bear.
Dreamer placed her hands on her shoulders. "Supergirl, we do not know the history of your life but we do know that all living beings even humans can't live without connections to others."
"I'm not following" admitted Supergirl.
"No one ever really wants to be alone."
That's when Alex thought about her team, Kaldur, M'gann, Artemis, Wally, Robin.
The Forever people climbed into their vehicle.
"Goodbye Supergirl, we trust the New Genisphere in your hands." said Vykin.
With that Supergirl watched with Sphere and Wolf besides her as the Forever people vanished through the boom tube.
Supergirl will probably never forget the Forever people; they were the strangest team she had ever met. She didn't realize that being with them made her miss her own team.
She turned to Wolf and Sphere.
"Come on, let's go home."
