Cheetah thrashed me good...but then she just stopped. That was not her way at all. She was an all/nothing kind of demon. It had to be brother...and for reasons that I had yet to fully understand. The explosions also just stopped outside; along with the gunfire. She then moved away from me and sat on her bottom like a happy cat, and rather calmly, as though the rage had just left her. That was not her at all.

I recovered from the impact. "Brother." She smiled. "Yes. I wanted to keep going at you; and have Mister Lynns burn this wretched joke of a town to the ground...but your dark lord brother has commanded otherwise." I frowned groaned and sat up. "Why?"

"For a bigger, more epic main event; Superman." "What about him?" Cheetah then chuckled. "Oh your brother is a genius..." "Out with it Barbara Ann!" "He's helping illegal Mexicans cross the border - even as we speak." I straightened at that. Cheetah chuckled again/nodded. "Is he under brother's control?" "No; he doesn't need to be." It made sense. Clark was an immigrant/refugee and compassionate; he identified with them. And brother knew how I felt about illegals...

Cheetah cackled. "You have to fight the Man of Steel and stop him. Just like 'Hiketeia' with Bats, right?" Cheetah was right; I'd have to fight Superman; to stop him from letting in illegal aliens that didn't belong here. Many were invaders and parasites; many were terrorists. Many were frauds.

I had to abandon this raid right here/now. They could resume their offensive even after I left but what Clark was doing could be far more dangerous in the end. Brother had ways of reaching those like them that none but me could see/deal with.

I recovered my strength with speed; Cheetah continued cackling while I shot up through the building and flew off at super speed for the border. To say this situation would be borderline in more than one way was an understatement.

The wonder plane sensors found where Clark was and I flew fast for him. There was something of a border standoff as I reached him and landed. "Diana? I heard about Gotham. Is it over?" "For now." The border patrol was nearby; they were scared; I could see it plain as day from them. There were a group of illegals nearby too just south of the border that he was trying to escort across.

I walked up to him. "Clark - you need to stop this." He frowned. "Really? I thought you came here to help." "I don't support helping illegals. They have to enter the right way; and right now citizens need jobs and help before they do; especially veterans." "Diana; that's absurd-" "Stop it now-" "Or what?" "I do command the justice league-" "This isn't a JL action. This is just us - and them; people wanting a better way of life." "I don't care what you call it Clark. America needs to end all immigration for the foreseeable future." "That's ridiculous."

I sent a mental command to the wonder plane. "Clark...if you don't stop this right now I'll send your secret identity to every news outlet on earth." "You wouldn't dare." "I'll do what's necessary to protect my country." "You're still new here-" "It's still America Clark-" "Do what you have to do then. I'm helping these people."

He turned his back to me and moved away; and towards the illegals. "Clark." He kept going. I threw out my lasso to ensnare him. "Let go of me Diana!" "No." "You know how powerful I am." "I do; but my powers are magical; and that's more powerful than your solar ones." "You want to bet on that?"

I did one better. I had the WP beam my amazon armor onto me. "I've beaten Batman, who can beat you. What do you think I can do to you if needed Clark?" He was a brawler who over relied on his powers. I was a trained magically enhanced warrior. It was a knife to a gunfight scenario.

But I saw the look in his eye; the defiance. He was really going to duke it out with me. The tension increased everywhere as reports of our about to occur godly duel happened in real time. The world would soon be watching an epic fight. And make no mistake - I would fight to win; even if that meant killing Kal El to protect the USA from invaders.
