(Rated I for Immature)
Kate Kane dramatically suited up in the Batwoman costume and then eyed the Batmobile with hungry eyes. "I want a car," Kate demanded of Kara who was standing beside Brainiac 5 impatiently. "Chicks dig the car," Kate added.
"This is why Superman works alone," Kara rolled her eyes.
"So?" Kate wondered.
"No, ride your own bike and get your ass over there," Kara ordered.
Kate sighed as she got on her bike and rode off. Kara turned to Brainiac 5. "This could be a long night. Better order some pizzas."
"As you wish," Brainiac 5 said.
Kate rode her bike to the Gotham Museum of Art. Upon arriving, she fired a projectile cable gun to the roof and looked down through the ceiling window. Unfortunately, it was covered in frost obscuring her view. Moments later, the ceiling window was blasted out as Batwoman made a dramatic entrance into the museum. She fell a short distance before perching on the head of a dinosaur model. Batwoman then eyed a man in an armored suit with a laser weapon.
"Hey, Freeze, I'm Batwoman," Kate said to him ruining any chance of achieving the element of surprise.
Victor turned his weapon on her about to shoot. Batwoman glided down the spine of the model dinosaur until she reached the tail. She then extended her cape behind her to slow her descent and double-kicked Victor to the floor. The diamond in his hand slid across the floor. Batwoman kicked the gun out of Victor's hands. The gun then landed back in her hands as she got to her feet. Victor snatched the gun back from her as he flung her off.
"Do not interfere, Batwoman," Victor said coldly.
Kate kicked the gun out of his hands where it landed at the base of an ancient Mayan head. Victor's men then came out and surrounded Kate. "Kill her," Victor ordered and calmly walked towards his gun.
"Hockey team from hell," Kate said dryly as she battled them.
As Kate kicked ass on the hockey team, Victor picked up his gun. He waited for an opening and then fired on Kate freezing her in a block of ice. Victor was then handed the diamond he had stolen from the museum.
"Move out," he ordered his men.
Moments later, Supergirl tore through the front door and raced over to Kate. With her heat vision, she freed Kate from the ice. She gasped for breath and shivered uncontrollably. "Did you get him?" she asked her.
"No, that's your job. Don't worry about the diamond. It's insured," Kara said.
"But what about the security guards?" Kate asked pointing out the frozen guards.
"Well..shit," Kara realized they were all dead.
Supergirl and Batwoman
Kara took Kate back to Wayne Manor, put a blanket on her, and placed her feet in warm water. She continued to shiver from the cold. "While you recover, I might as well give you some exposition," Kara said turning on the TV.
"This footage is from Wayne Enterprises, two months ago. This is Victor Fries, a 2-time Olympic decathlete and Noble Prize winner in molecular biology. After his wife contracted a rare disease, Macgregor's Syndrome, he hoped to freeze her in cryogenic sleep until he could find a cure," Kara said as the video featured Victor working in his lab.
"If I were straight, I would be so turned on by that," Kate remarked.
Kara eyed her wondering if she was for real. "Anyway, I think it's best if we continue in a flashback."
Flashback
At Wayne Enterprises, Victor came up to Kara as she looked over the lab. "Mrs. Wayne, I only need a moment of your time. Please hear me out."
"What's on your mind, Victor?" Kara entertained him.
"Using a cold-fusion reactor focused by diamonds, we could reverse the effects of Global Warming. We could restore the ice in the Arctic Ocean," he said excitedly.
"Can it work on Antarctica, you know, to make a larger ice shelf there?" Kara asked genuinely curious.
"Of course but we can't use it for just one pole. It must be both," Victor insisted.
"Well, you see, there's a problem with that. I've got some business pals that want the Arctic Ocean wide-open for shipping lanes. With the ice out of the way, commerce, transportation, and trade will greatly be enhanced. You see, the world is round, not flat," Kara demonstrated on a globe.
"I understand that but you can't have just all the ice on the south pole. The Trans-Atlantic current is at stake. If it is disrupted, Europe will freeze," Victor said to her.
"Yeah, as a hot-blooded American, I don't really give a fuck about Europe," Kara said dismissively. "Antarctica is the best I can do."
"Then, I shall resign," Victor threatened.
Kara gave him a condescending look. "As an employee of Wayne Industries, your work belongs to me, your inventions belong to me. Think of your career, the welfare of the planet, your sick wife."
"I can find other ways to fund my research," Victor stared her down.
"Oh really? Alright, Victor. Go ahead and quit. When you've exhausted all your funding options, come back to me," Kara allowed.
Victor gave her a flustered look and then stormed out of the lab. Kara then eyed the other lab technicians staring at her. "Get back to work, slaves," she ordered.
End Flashback
Kate stared at Kara dismayed. "Now, he's a criminal, killing security guards and stealing diamonds. Good job."
"You blaming this on me? I was the one that gave him his job in the first place and funded his research," Kara told her off.
"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," Brainiac 5 agreed as he looked over Kate. "She will not be permanently damaged."
"Find Victor," Kara ordered.
"He's not on the net and I've yet to locate his hideout," Brainiac 5 said.
"Did you check the Snowy Cones Ice Cream shop?" Kara asked.
"It was the first place I looked, and no, he's not there," Brainiac 5 answered.
"Damn it. I was so sure he would be there," Kara said disappointed. "I want the Wayne diamonds. If its diamonds he wants, we'll give it to him."
"That's charitable," Kate said obliviously.
Kara and Brainiac 5 simply stared at her. "It's to trap him, genius," Kara shook her head.
"I'm ready to kick ice," Kate smirked as she got up.
"You're going to train in the simulator for ten hours," Kara ordered.
"Hey, it was a mistake. Don't go overprotective on me," Kate said defensively.
"You were reckless and almost got yourself killed," Kara pointed out.
"I'm fine. See! I'm here, queer, alive," Kate excused. "How are we supposed to work together if you won't trust me?" she asked as she walked off.
"How indeed," Brainiac 5 seconded.
"Shut the fuck up," Kara scoffed at him.
Kara and Brainiac 5 argued as they went down the halls of Wayne Manor. "She's overeager, she's impulsive. I can't trust her not to get hurt. By the way, none of what I just said had anything to do with her gender or sexual orientation. Make a note of that."
"So noted," Brainiac 5 allowed. "But the truth is that you don't trust anyone."
"Well, I certainly don't trust you, fucker," Kara smiled at him. "Don't tell me you're on her side...again."
"Despite all your talents, you are still immature and juvenile when it comes to training apprentices. Kate Kane follows the same star as you do but gets there by her own course," Brainiac 5 said wisely.
"Are you that eager to do her autopsy?" Kara wondered.
"Your children were defeated by Red Daughter because you sheltered them and prevented them from reaching their full potential," Brainiac 5 pointed out.
Kara nodded. "Care to drink with me until I pass the fuck out?"
"I would be happy to," Brainiac 5 replied.
The next day, Kara marched herself over to the Gotham Observatory to talk with reporters on its opening ceremony. "My father told me, 'To succeed we need only pick a star and follow it.' So, Wayne Enterprises is donating the world's most advanced telescope to Gotham's Restoration Project. This telescope will give future generations a chance to follow their own stars," Kara presented.
"Ker-ah, is it true that this telescope can see around the globe?" an obnoxious reporter asked her.
"Yes, if you'll watch the monitors right there," Kara pointed out. "Satellites already in orbit will allow us to reflect light from anywhere on the planet. From here, we'll be able to see the sky anywhere on Earth and through this intricate network of satellites, reflect it back to Gotham City for observation."
"Ker-ah, you've been married to Bruce for nearly a year now but he's nowhere to be found. When will he be back?" the same reporter asked.
"Bruce is actually working on a secret humanitarian project to combat human trafficking, right now. So, I can't tell you where he is or what he's actually doing," Kara lied.
"That must be tough on you as a wife," the reporter said.
"Despite being apart, we are recklessly in love and that is certainly enough for me," Kara lied.
Kara then turned her attention as GCPD officers did a poor job of keeping a slender woman from interrupting the press tour. "She doesn't have a pass, Ma'am," the leading officer told Kara
"Well...no shit," Kara eyed the blond woman in front of her. She scanned her quickly and determined that her blond hair was a wig which immediately pissed her off.
"Get out of my way, fascist bulldog," she said to the officers.
"So...how can I help you?" Kara asked her condescendingly.
"Dr. Pamela Isley, I actually work for you...or did. Your arboreal project in South America, meant to use exotic plants to cure cancers. Bruce Wayne cut our funding," she accused.
The wheels in Kara's brain turned on this as she considered what to say in front of the press. She decided the best course of action was to go on the offensive and make wild baseless accusations and not admit that Bruce cut funding so as to pay for his new Batwing.
"Yes, well there was a conflict of ideologies. Dr. Woodrue was a lunatic that wanted to use plant juice to create super-soldiers for rogue nations," Kara lied.
Pamela gave her a stupified look but quickly recovered. "Well, his lab was burned down to the ground with him in it."
"I wish...I wish I gave a shit," Kara said honestly.
"I have here a proposal showing how Wayne Enterprises can cease all actions that toxify our environment. Fuck the stars. Look here at the Earth, our mother, our womb. She deserves your loyalty and protection, and yet, you spoil her lands, poison her oceans, blacken her skies! You're killing her!" Pamela said dramatically.
"I grew up in a religious household where the apocalypse was just around the corner where the righteous and wicked would be judged and the world would come to a quick end. So, I say, drill-baby-drill," Kara smiled wide-eyed.
"You can't be serious," Pamela said stunned.
"Oh, it's not just an idea. It's policy," Kara smirked. "People, and in particular my stockholders, come first, Dr. Isley," Kara said handing her proposal back to her.
"The day of reckoning is upon you. The same plants and flowers that saw you crawl from the primordial soup will reclaim this planet and there will be no one to protect you!" Pamela said forcefully.
"You must be in new in town. Supergirl protects America...even from plants and flowers," Kara said condescendingly. "Perhaps, you'd like to meet her. I'm working with her to auction off some diamonds for Gotham's botanical garden. You're welcome to come. I bet you look absolutely smoking once you take your wig, eyeglasses, and clothes off."
Kara then turned to the press corp. "Thank you for coming."
That night, the affluent elites of Gotham came together for a jungle-themed party. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...Supergirl and Batwoman," the announcer said as they both came on stage. "And the gem of the evening, the famed Heart of Isis on loan from the collection of Bruce Wayne."
"Think Freeze will take the bait?" Kate asked uncomfortably.
"Either that or I'm getting drunk as fuck," Kara replied.
"Let's get this auction rolling," the announcer said as very attractive muscular shirtless men came on stage. The mostly women crowd began to bid on the men spending tens of thousands of dollars each.
"This is immoral," Kate whispered to Kara.
"No, it's not. These women are donating money to the botanical gardens and these men are generously giving themselves to them in return," Kara said.
"That just sounds like prostitution with extra steps," Kate hissed.
"Looks like someone wants to get laid in college," Kara mocked.
A person in a giant purple gorilla costume then started dancing getting the attention of the crowd. "What the fuck?" Kara wondered.
The dancing gorilla eventually shed her costume revealing herself as a green-suited red-haired woman. Kara easily identified her as Pamela from before. The crowd was a little disappointed expecting the gorilla to be another man but then pheromone dust descended upon the women. Even Kate was captivated by her.
"Hi, there," Pamela said getting between them.
"And you are?" the announcer asked her.
"Poison...Poison Ivy," she replied.
"You do look like you would give someone a serious rash," Kara mocked.
Ivy ignored Kara and blew love dust in Kate's face. "Why not send the girl back home early? I've got some wild oats to sow."
Ivy then blew love dust at Kara. "On the other hand, youth does have its advantages: stamina, endurance. Forget the Bat. Come join me. My garden needs tending."
"Actually, I'm half her age," Kate pointed out.
"Everything else was true though," Kara smirked.
"I'll take it from here, pal," Ivy said arrogantly as she took the diamond necklace from Commissioner Forbes. Kara eyed Ivy curiously. "Some lucky girl is about to hit the honey pot. I'll include an evening of my company for the winner. I'll bring everything you see here plus everything you don't."
"Like dignity and self-respect," Kara mocked.
The women immediately started bidding high numbers for her. "Is this real? Is this happening?" Kara wondered. She figured she needed to put a stop to this before things got too weird.
"One million dollars," Kara said shocking the crowd.
"Two million," Kate said instantly, positively smitten.
"The fuck? You don't have it. You don't have anything," Kara objected.
"I'll borrow it from you," Kate said simply.
"Which I will deny. You know what? Fuck it. Three million," Kara said.
"Four million," Kate said outrageously.
"You little shit. Five million," Kara said.
"You two girls aren't going to be fighting over little old me, are you?" Ivy said amused.
The doors crashed open as Victor entered the room. He immediately started freezing everyone around him with his gun. "Proceed," Kara said to Kate.
Kate confronted Victor by firing a Batarang cable from her wrist that wrapped around Victor's gun and pulled it out of his hands. The hockey gang then came out and started thrashing the guests. Batwoman immediately went to work punching and kicking them down. Kara watched passively as Kate took them all on by herself.
Ivy tried one last time to seduce Kara with her love dust. "Come away with me, Supergirl. You're not a woman. You are a goddess."
"Phermone dust, designed to generate love, sympathy, tolerance, and understanding in others," Kara sensed. "It doesn't work on a Republican," Kara denied her.
Kara was about to take back the diamonds when she was blasted with the freeze gun. Victor calmly walked over to Ivy and snapped the diamond necklace off her neck. He then noticed Batwoman beating the last of his men. "Goodnight," Batwoman smiled as the last one fell.
Victor walked away with the necklace and leaped off the building. As he did, wings extended from his suit allowing him to fall gracefully towards his specially designed tank vehicle. Batwoman leaped after him, used a projector cable gun on a building to slow herself down, and dropped onto her motorcycle. She then sped off after Victor.
Kara blasted the ice off her with heat vision and then thawed out the rest of the people. After she was done, she flew off after Victor. Kate continued to give chase even when Victor flew off a bridge onto the roof of a building. Kate increased her speed to make the jump as well.
"Barney, shut off her engines," Kara ordered.
Kate was nearly about to leap off the bridge when her engine stopped and her brakes slammed. She then noticed Supergirl flying towards Victor. "The FUCK!" Kate shouted after her.
Victor fired his freeze gun at Kara as she approached. She fired heat vision neutralizing his gun and then punched through his windshield. She quickly dragged his ass out of the vehicle and knocked him out.
At the Wayne Manor Bat-cave, Kate took off her cowl and began to whine against Kara. "I could have made that jump."
"And you could have splattered your brains all along the side of that building," Kara pointed out.
"When I was a child, my family was a team. We all trusted each other. That's what family is all about. Sometimes, counting on someone else is the only way to win," Kate said passionately.
"Yes, but that team is gone. Your mother is dead, your sister is bat-shit insane, and your father is locked up. You play by my rules. It's my rules that have kept you alive and as long as you're on this team, you will abide by them," Kara said coldly.
"This is no partnership. You're never going to trust me," Kate concluded.
"Well, Kate, maybe if you weren't so damn fragile and dumb as fuck, I would," Kara said scornfully as Kate walked away.
Kara walked in on Brainiac 5 as he worked on a computer. "Supergirl monopolized the evening news. Congratulations on apprehending Victor."
"You give me far too little credit," Kara smiled.
"Is there something wrong?" Brainiac 5 asked knowingly.
"Barney, am I pig-headed? Is it always my way or the highway?" Kara asked.
"Yes," Brainiac 5 said flatly. "Death and chance stole your world but rather than become a victim you have done everything in your power to control the fates. For what is Supergirl if not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps this world? An attempt to control death itself."
"How am I doing on that front?" Kara asked.
"Poorly," Brainiac 5 said honestly.
"Damn," Kara frowned. "But I can't, can I?"
"No one can...except me, of course," Brainiac 5 smiled.
Kate then barged in. "Freeze has escaped!"
"There's been a break-in at Wayne Science lab," Brainiac 5 sensed.
"Well...shit," Kara sighed.
Kara and Kate drove over to Wayne's Science lab and met up with Commissioner Forbes and a squad of officers. "We got this off the Arkham surveillance cam," Forbes said showing her a video on a computer screen showing Victor and Pamela.
"Poison Ivy," Kate identified.
"We got these photos two days ago at Gotham International airport. She arrived by charter from South America, left a businessman dead from organic poisoning, stole his limousine," Forbes said.
Kara turned away from Forbes. "Why would she spring out Freeze? Frost and plants don't mix."
"Well, she's definitely evil. It was weird. For a while, she was all I could think about like I was in love," Kate said confused.
"And then the feeling vanished?" Kara assumed. "It's pheromone dust."
"I can't believe we were fighting over her," Kate said dismayed.
"Actually, I was trying to save your ass from going broke. The pheromones don't affect me," Kara corrected.
"Well, I'm totally over her," Kate assured her.
"Good to hear," Kara said condescendingly. "Here we go," she said as she inputted a code to the door. It opened displaying Nora Fries in a cryogenic tank.
"She's still alive," Kate realized upon seeing her vitals. "Why do you have her in your lab?"
"Leverage," Kara said simply. "I was confident Victor wouldn't quit so long as I had his wife in my lab. He apparently called my bluff. Now, he hopes to break in here and take her from me."
"This is so fucked up. You're holding her as a hostage," Kate admonished.
"If not for me, she would already be dead," Kara said dismissively.
"You always find a way to justify yourself," Kate scowled.
Pheromone dust flowed in the room from the vents. "She's here," Kara recognized. She proceeded to rip off the vent and go after Ivy. Meanwhile, Victor flooded the ventilation system with liquid nitrogen forcing the cops to evacuate the lab. Kara and Kate went through the basement level and found Ivy waiting for them. The basement was filled with chemical vats and a bridge that overlooked them.
"Hi, there," Ivy smiled.
"Give yourself up...or there will be trouble," Kate said to her.
"To you?" Ivy asked as she blew pheromone dust in her face.
Kate became relaxed and smitten by her. "Why are all the gorgeous ones homicidal maniacs," Kate wondered.
"You better not be lumping me in with that," Kara said crossly.
"Enough...sweet talk," Ivy said as she went for a kiss on Kate.
"Yeah, no," Kara took Ivy by the arm. "You're going to tell me where Victor is and then you're going to jail."
Ivy focused on Kate. "Living in the shadow of a woman that married into the Wayne family and acts like all the money is hers. You're the star. I can see it now. Kate Kane: The businesswoman that ended discrimination, predatory house lending, and slum lords. Let me guide you."
"Let me kiss you," Ivy said as Kate was drawn in.
Kara let go of Ivy and pushed Kate away. "Don't kiss her, idiot. She spreads toxins orally."
"What are you talking about?" Kate said offended.
"Why do you think she's so desperate to kiss you? Her lips are poisoned, dumbass," Kara said obviously.
"Poisoned kiss? You have real issues with women, you know that?" Kate said snidely.
"Coming from you, I must be fucked," Kara mocked.
"You just can't stand that she would kiss me and not you. Couldn't stand that something would be mine and not yours," Kate said as she activated her Kryptonite watch.
Kate punched at Kara missing her. Kara took hold of Kate and threw her off the bridge sending her into a vat of chemicals. Kara immediately pulled Kate out while she was covered in it. "Ivy's right. I don't need your help. I'm going solo!" Kate said, pissed off.
Kara watched Kate walk away and then looked around for Ivy. "The fuck she go?" she wondered. Kara backtracked to Nora's capsule and found the cable to it snapped off. "That could be an issue," Kara said dryly as Nora's vital signs began to fluctuate.
"The cold-fusion laser is gone," Brainiac 5 reported to her.
"Well...shit," Kara sighed.
At Wayne Manor, Kara had to deal with more nonsense from Kate. "I don't have time to deal with your bullshit, right now. I'm already late for the dedication. Once it's over, I'll go after Victor and Ivy alone."
"Like hell, you will," Kate objected.
"I know you're under the influence of pheromone dust, but you're acting really bipolar," Kara mocked.
"So, no one can catch Ivy but the great and awesome Supergirl?" Kate asked.
"Right," Kara agreed.
"You want her for yourself," Kate accused.
"Yes, I want her so bad. I want to taste her, put my tongue in her nectar, and give her a mud bath," Kara said condescendingly.
"She loves me and not you," Kate said confidently.
"I don't give a shit about her," Kara rolled her eyes.
"It's why you stopped us from kissing," Kate accused.
"You're not thinking straight," Kara said and then chuckled. "See what I did there?"
"For the first time in a long time, I know what I want. I'm tired of living in your shadow," Kate said angrily.
"Everyone on this planet lives under my shadow," Kara said arrogantly.
"Well, that ends now," Kate said as she stormed off.
At the dedication, Kara arrived fashionably late. The police blocked her from entering. "What's the deal?" Kara demanded of Forbes.
"Victor is in there. He says he has bombs. The party guests have already been evacuated," Forbes answered.
Inside the observatory, Victor placed his cold-fusion device on a platform filled with other diamonds he had collected. He then activated the device. A cold laser came forth into the telescope freezing the entire room.
Meanwhile, Kate found Ivy's lair and went inside. It was filled with jungle plants like that of an alien world. Kate then found Ivy in a red dress on a giant lilypad with a pond in front of her. Kate cautiously approached her. "I want us to be together but I have to know you're serious about turning over a new leaf."
"I need a sign," Kate said as she got close to her on her pad.
"How about slippery when wet?" Ivy suggested.
"Of trust. Tell me your plan," Kate pressed.
"Kiss me and I'll tell you," Ivy enticed.
"Tell me and I'll kiss you," Kate pressed.
"Freeze has taken the new telescope and turned it into a giant freezing gun," Ivy revealed.
"I've got to stop him," Kate said slightly alarmed.
"One kiss...my love," Ivy said to her. "For luck."
"If you insist," Kate said as she passionately kissed Ivy. She gave a demonic look as she kissed Kate knowing it would mean her imminent death.
"Bad luck, I'm afraid. Time to die, Batsy," Ivy smiled victoriously.
"I hate to disappoint you but my lips are immune to your charms," Kate said as she morphed into Brainiac 5.
Ivy gave him a look of amazement and immediately threw him into her pond. Metal tentacles started whipping out of the pond in an attempt to get at her. "I've assessed the situation and I'm leaving," Ivy said taking off.
"You're not the only one that can set a trap," Batwoman said stopping her.
"I'm sorry. My vines have a crush on you," Ivy said as she summoned them to her aid.
Kate slashed the vines with her wristguards. "You're about to become compost."
Ivy and Batwoman clashed a few times and then Kate kicked Ivy to the floor. "Using feminine wiles to get what you want? Trading on your looks? Read a book, sister. That passive-aggressive number went out a long time ago. Chicks like you give Lesbians a bad name."
"I'm actually Bi," Ivy admitted.
"Fucking knew it," Kate said irked.
Ivy took a vine whip to Kate. After a few strikes, Kate pinned down the whip to the floor. Ivy then took out a knife. "As I told Nora Fries before I pulled her plug, this is a one-woman show."
"I don't think so," Kate said and then pulled Ivy's whip sending her to the floor.
Ivy swung at her with her knife only for Kate to kick it out of her hand. Kate then kicked her to the gut and then to the face. Ivy fell back on her pad defeated. An energy pulse suddenly hit Ivy knocking her out. Kate turned to see Brainiac 5 behind her.
"Thanks for trusting in me," Kate said gratefully.
"It wasn't so much trust as it was curiosity," Brainiac 5 corrected.
"Freeze is going to freeze the city," Kate said alarmed.
"Then we have work to do," Brainiac 5 said as they walked out together.
At the Gotham Observatory, Victor fired the telescope cannon into the air. The beam was deflected off a satellite and then deflected off another satellite towards the North Pole. Finally, the laser hit the Arctic Ocean creating instant ice on the surface. Kara eyed the beam as it avoided the city and went into space.
"The fuck he doing?" Kara wondered.
Kate sped along Gotham streets on her motorcycle. She was then intercepted by the hockey team in Victor's tank. The tank fired missiles at her which she narrowly avoided. The missiles blasted cars and stores along the street. Kate fired the twin cannons on the Batcycle blasting the tank. With the tank disabled, Kate kept going. Upon reaching the observatory, Kate fired a projector cable gun and launched herself inside.
Kate looked around and found two lab technicians frozen solid in a grisly scene. Kate then looked over the computer and saw that Victor was using the freeze cannon to increase the ice on the Arctic Ocean reversing the effects of global warming.
"Get away from that," Victor said as he tossed her off it.
Kate fired a projector cable gun towards the wall of the observatory and swung towards Victor kicking him to the chest. Victor grabbed a hold of her and pulled her away from the control panel. Kate swung her fist at Victor hitting him to the face. Annoyed, Victor swung at her missing each time. Kate gave him a kick which he caught and slammed her down on the guardrail. Kate kicked him to the face. Victor twisted her arm and slammed her into the guardrail. Kate pushed back on him only for Victor to grab her by the throat in a commanding grip.
"I only wanted to save the world and for that, I was fired, ostracized, and widowed," Victor said bitterly. "My wife...was innocent."
"I didn't kill her," Kate said and then showed a video from her phone of Ivy admitting to it.
Victor let Kate go. "It's all my fault. I should have compromised. My pride and zeal have led me to this."
Kate gave him a sympathetic look. Supergirl then flew into the observatory and landed on the telescope. Victor quickly threw Kate off the guardrail and focused on Kara. On his wristguards were freezing guns. Victor fired on Kara but she countered with heat vision. Kara slowly walked towards him as their two beams met in the middle. Kara then dropped on him and crushed his wristguards. She then punched him off the platform where he landed on his cold-fusion device, destroying it. Kara landed near Victor and threw him off the platform where he hit the floor on his back.
Kara slowly walked over to the defeated Victor. "Go on. Kill me so I can be with my wife away from the cold misery of this life," Victor said to her.
"She's not dead. I found her and restored her. She's still frozen alive," Kara said to him.
"She lives?" Victor said surprised.
"Kara Wayne was a bitch to send you away and stop your research. By freezing the Arctic Ocean, you have given the world the time it needs to get its act together. Pity, it had to be at the expense of others," Kara said as she eyed the dead lab technicians.
"I accept responsibility for my actions. Take me back to Arkham. Pass on my research to others," Victor said to her.
"That won't do," Kara said as she pulled him to his feet. "You and your wife will live and work in Russia where you will continue your research. There, you will be safe from prying eyes. You no longer work for Kara Wayne. You work for me now and in return, I'll give you the cure your wife needs," Kara said to him.
"Thank you, Supergirl," Victor said appreciatively.
Kara nodded. Brainiac 5 then decloaked having watched the conversation. "Get Victor out of the city and fly him to Moscow. Our PATRIOT friends would love to have him," Kara ordered.
"Certainly," Brainiac 5 said and then placed a hologram emitter on Victor disguising him. The two then walked out of the observatory.
Kate walked over to Kara. "Justice, thy name is Supergirl," she mocked.
"And don't you forget it," Kara told her.
At the Bat-cave, Brainiac 5 visited Ivy in a cell. She was a wild mess muttering to herself. "You're going to continue the work you started...or I'll dissect you."
"You're cute," she said deliriously. "You're the only one I can kiss that doesn't immediately die."
"I know," Brainiac 5 replied.
Brainiac 5 then kissed her passionately. Ivy stared at him completely smitten with him. "I'll do whatever you want."
"Good," Brainiac 5 said pleased.
Meanwhile, Kara and Kate walked down the halls of Wayne Manor. "I'm sorry. I know I was under the influence but it's not an excuse. I was wrong," Kate admitted.
"No one's perfect...except me," Kara smirked.
"I understand if you want to fire me," Kate said.
"Kate, you saved the day, sort of, not really," Kara said thoughtfully. "I've decided to not hover over you all the time."
"Is it because you've decided to trust me?" Kate asked hopefully.
"No, it's because I've decided I don't give a shit if you live or die," Kara said walking off.
Kate rolled her eyes at that. "Thanks, boss," Kate said as she walked off in the opposite direction.
"I want to apologize to every fan that was disappointed because I think I owe them that."
