A/N: A shout out to Jennifer Baratta. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Chapter 14
J'onn was in pain; between Midnight's ability to make every word that came out of her mouth cause ear-splitting pain and his already weakened state, Nia wasn't sure that they could get away without DEO help. Kara was successfully keeping the alien being at bay but for how long was anyone's guess. They still had no way to defeat her.
"Hang in there J'onn. I'll get you out of here," Nia promised as she pulled him from the cab. The windows had been shattered thanks to their foe and the surrounding buildings' glass had been shattered as well. Not knowing where she could hide the Martian, she tried to reach the DEO, they needed backup and fast.
"We're being attacked outside of Obsidian North! In need of immediate assistance!" Nia shouted into the comms but got nothing but static. It seemed the comms had become another victim of Midnight. Dragging J'onn around behind the cab, Nia looked for cover.
"Leave me. If Midnight is here, my brother is being trying to escape," J'onn urged her.
"No way," she said. That's when a familiar face showed up on a motorcycle.
"Need a lift?" James asked. He was wearing his Guardian outfit.
"I'll help Kara distract Midnight. Get him back to the DEO," Nia said. James nodded and helped J'onn onto the back of the motorcycle and hauled out of there. Nia turned and blasted Midnight with her powers. Kara hit her with her heat vision at the same time. Midnight snarled and tried to dodge but wasn't entirely successful as she caught the heat vision in the side, while Nia's shot just missed her. Kara saw and opening and lunged at the alien and punched her square in the jaw. Midnight snarled and then disappeared. Kara quickly landed next to Nia; the sounds of sirens filled the air, replacing the void that Midnight had created.
"You ok?" The blonde asked.
"Yeah. James got J'onn out of here," Nia heaved a sigh.
"Kelly must have called him. My comms are fried," Kara said.
"Mine too. We'll have to thank her," Nia nodded. The emergency vehicles had arrived and Alex was leading them on her motorcycle.
"You guys ok? Midnight made herself known, I'm guessing," the redhead frowned as she climbed off her bike and removed her helmet.
"I landed a solid punch but we need a better plan to deal with her. James got J'onn back to the DEO," Kara said.
"Excellent. I'll get the team working this scene and coordinating with NCPD and NCFD. We need to regroup," Alex said.
"How's Brainy holding up?" Nia asked.
"Oh he's… I really don't know. He seemed to have a break through on the new suit but then he kind of blew up at Ricky for which Lena smacked him upside the head. Needless to say, everyone was surprised by that," the redhead was obviously concerned.
"We better get back there," Kara said.
"Agreed," Nia nodded. Kara flew off while Alex gave a few orders to the agents on the scene before climbing on her motorcycle.
"Hop on Nia," Alex smiled. She didn't have a second helmet but Nia had powers so she was not overly worried. Nia was excited and quickly hopped on the bike. The two were off heading for the DEO.
Meanwhile, the White Martian was watching his Green friend. He was pacing and muttering to himself. Midnight had disappeared and he wasn't sure where she'd gone.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Seems my brother has managed to break the Fa'ra'too'rik," the Green said.
"That is good news, is it not? We can keep an eye on him better," the White said.
"To a point. He may be able to find us now," the Green frowned.
"Then we'd better move up the timeline," the White told him.
