Chapter 16
Kara landed in front of the White Martian. She noticed that he held one of those rail guns and she quickly radioed for everyone to stay back. The blonde could hear the worry in Alex's voice but the redhead gave no argument. They still had to find the Green Martian.
"She can't fight those two by herself. Innocent people could get killed," Alex said from her seat on her bike.
"Until she can disable the rail gun, we just need to wait," Dreamer told her from the backseat. Midnight was staying focused on trying to hurt Kara, which was allowing the White Martian to aim the rail gun at her.
"I have an idea," Alex said but did not wait for Nia to respond. She jumped off the motorcycle, went to the nearest DEO vehicle, and had the driver pop the trunk.
"Director, what's the plan?" Agent Smith asked as he and the other agents jumped out of the vehicle.
"The Martian is distracted. We take him down and Supergirl might be able to use the rail gun on Midnight," the redhead said as she pulled out a case for a rifle.
"How are we going to do that?" Smith wanted to know, watching her put the weapon together.
"Help me onto the roof of the SUV and then cover me," Alex ordered. Smith was about to object but he saw her determination and knew that her plan did have a chance of working. Quickly he ordered the other agents to help and they boosted Alex onto the roof of the SUV. Nia ran for cover behind the vehicle and Smith explained the situation. Nia didn't look happy but she agreed. Sitting on their hands wasn't an option.
Alex had the gun setup and she tried to get a bead on the target. Not all White Martians could phase like J'onn could. They needed to be trained to do so. There was a chance that the Green Martian had taught him how do but it was not an easy thing to do and not something he would need when back on Mars, so Alex was taking a big chance.
Alex breathed slowly in and out, the world around her slowly fading, all there was, was herself and the target. Kara was doing her best to keep the two busy and Alex was thankful for that. The Martian's head was in range and Alex squeezed the trigger.
Kara heard the shot and knew that the DEO was trying something. Figuring they weren't aiming for her, the blonde didn't move, as Midnight took aim with her using her void producing powers. In an instant, the Martian collapsed onto the pavement. Alex's aim was true and the bullet passed through the White Martian's head.
Midnight didn't seem moved by the death of her cohort and aimed her blast at Kara. The Kryptonian dove at the right moment, avoiding the blast, and scooping up the now abandoned rail gun. Kara rolled over before whirling around on her left knee and aimed the weapon at her foe. It didn't seem to faze her attacker.
"Midnight don't make me use this. Surrender and you won't get hurt," Kara said, pointing the rail gun at the alien's chest.
"So you can send me back to the Phantom Zone? I rather die," she responded. Then her words were followed by a void and she disappeared. Alex, Dreamer, and the DEO agents quickly ran up to her.
"Thanks for the assist but that was very risky. If you missed…" Kara started, holding the rail gun at her side.
"I know but it was the only way to get him out of commission. I wish it hadn't come to that, but I couldn't let him disappear with that weapon and I couldn't stand by and not help you. Besides this may now bring the other Green Martian out of hiding," her sister said. Kara nodded.
"You ok?" Dreamer wanted to know.
"I'm fine. I hope Brainy is done with my new suit though. This one is officially toast," Kara heaved a sigh. Her cape was finally torn into two pieces and holes had emerged on her left arm and right leg.
"Yeah, come on. I'll give you and Dreamer a ride back to the DEO," Agent Smith smiled.
"Appreciate it since flying will be next to impossible. I think we should get this gun back to headquarters as soon as possible," the blonde said.
"Absolutely," Dreamer agreed as they piled into the SUV that Smith had come from. He got the vehicle turned back around and pointed it in the direction of the DEO. They hadn't gotten far however, when a Green Martian landed hard in the road, causing the road to buckle, and Agent Smith slammed on the brakes.
"Call for backup," Supergirl said before rushing out of the vehicle.
