Chapter 2
"Where is Alex, this is a very important meeting!" Hank shouted.
"Um, Alex had a very important thing to attend tonight, she asked me to tell you that she is very sorry and for me to catch her up later." Kara said nervously.
"And what could be more important than a DEO meeting supergirl? In fact, don't even answer that, we do not have time. We need to figure out what this creature is as soon as possible. A child's life is at stake, and we don't even know how this thing went unaware and managed to snatch the kid in the first place." Hank said. "Have you ever seen anything like it?"
"No. I haven't. I honestly can't remember seeing this guy there. It's so strange." Kara said.
"It's fine. However as you see in this footage, the child was wearing a red hoodie, which was found about 3 miles up the road. There seems to be signs of a break in and evidence of tracks leading to a warehouse not very far from the hoodie. Now I would have sent agents in straight away, but as you see we do not know what we are going up against here. So i thought it best to get supergirl on the case with a backup group just in case." Hank said.
"Sounds good, I'll head there now. I'll try and wait for any confrontation unless the child is in danger." I said as I got ready to fly up to the warehouse.
As I zoomed up into the air, I arrived in no time at the warehouse. I quickly flew around to check the perimeter and didn't see anything out of place.
As soon as I landed on top of the warehouse I heard a child screaming for help, I quickly dashed down and saw that the warehouse was empty apart from a child chained up on one of the structure beams.
"Hey there kid, i'm supergirl. Everything will be alright," I comforted as I crept closer, "we'll get you home to your family in no time."
I heard a deep belly chuckle from behind me and quickly turned around.
"Hello.. Who is there?" I didn't see anyone at all.
"Well if it isn't… supergirl." A voice sneered from above. I quickly looked up and as i went to look back down the child screamed and flew up in the air. I jumped up as quickly as I could and went to grab the child. As I went to grab him, the thing went to chuck him into the wall. I flew and dashed to grab the little boy and landed the child safely down.
"I don't know what you're playing at, but leave this child out of it." Kara yelled.
"That's fine." said a dark gravelly voice. "I never wanted the child anyway. Didn't you realise how easy finding me was?"
I did briefly think that but as the thought appeared it disappeared. There has been many monsters and humans out there that have been so incredibly stupid, it's hard to tell when one was simply trying to lure me in.
"Alright, now that we've established, what do you want with me?" Kara asked.
"Well that's easy, Supergirl. I want you to be seen as the bad guy"
Kara tried looking around the warehouse, specifically for the voice. However, the voice kept moving all over the place, making it hard to locate what on earth the thing could be.
"Yeah? And how would you do that if you can't even show yourself." Kara laughed.
"Maybe it's because I'm not a real thing? Have you ever thought of that? Of course not. You heroes are all the same in the end. Incompetant and naive." the mysterious being said.
After it was finished speaking a weird hologram appeared in front. It's eyes are a luminous red with multiple veins in both. Even though it was right there I still couldn't explain what or who it was. "What the…" Kara said. It struck down fast, faster than what I could move. I flung back, crashing into the opposite wall of where the child was. Straight away I got dizzy. "Ouch…" I exclaimed. This thing wasn't yet done though.
I felt a piercing go straight through my neck, shocked I felt, how the Rao did it get through my skin? It wasn't the same feeling as kryptonite. No, as soon as i felt kryptonite I immediately got dizzy, no this was kind of giving me a feeling of lightness, like i was getting high, if that's what it felt like. Almost as though I was floating right next to the sun, absorbing all the unlimited power.
I could feel myself getting more and more powerful. Even though I felt amazing, it's like I still couldn't move. 'What the rao' I thought to myself. I had never felt anything like this before.
All of a sudden a massive explosion happened, I couldn't turn my head to see what the commotion was, all I could think about was the weird surge I felt going through me. I could feel it course through my neck, almost as though it was travelling all through my body. I groaned to myself. Hating that I still couldn't move.
A group of people in black clothing and armour came through the explosion, multiple shouts for the child to be grabbed to safety. At the back of the group was Hank, who quickly saw me and came charging towards me.
"Kara, Kara..Can you hear me?" I heard.
I grunted out and that was all the confirmation Hank needed.
"Quickly team.. Grab supergirl and take her to safety. This thing managed to overpower her."
As he was speaking I could feel myself slipping away into the land of unconsciousness.
