A/N: Shout outs to Jennifer Baratta and SuperFlashFan101! So glad you're enjoying it. Since we aren't getting our Kate and Kara crossover, I figured we could still have it here. ;) Thanks!
Chapter 13
M'gann and Kate landed in the park in the middle of the city. Sure enough, there was a Lexosuit but what it was doing, neither lady could figure out. It was just standing there and people were avoiding it at all costs – not sure what else to do.
M'gann tried to see if she could discern if someone was in the suit using her powers. Kate looked at her confused until the Martian said,
"The suit is empty. It must be activated from somewhere else."
"So why hasn't it attacked?" Kate gave her a look.
"Perhaps it was expecting Supergirl," M'gann said.
"She's a tad busy right now," there was a voice behind them and they both swirled around.
"Superman, it is good to see you," M'gann smiled.
"You as well. Batwoman, good to see you. Now how about we see if this Lexosuit has any punch?" He asked. With a smirk, he flew up over the top of the ladies and landed directly in front of the suit. He flicked it with his right hand and the suit fell over.
"I heard these were more vicious," Kate said. Clark turned his head, and the two ladies recognized the move. Kara did almost the same thing when she was using her super-hearing.
"Oh they are. This one is rigged to blow. I'm getting it out of here," Superman scooped it up and headed out into the atmosphere and over the harbor. As the clock counted down, he threw it with all his might. The suit hit its apex and blew up; a green cloud came out of it. Clark knew what it was – Kryptonite. Glad that he was far enough away from it, he headed back to the park.
"It was laced," he said, landing next to the ladies. They knew what he meant – there was only one thing that could affect the cousins.
"Nice. Glad you didn't breathe it in," Kate said.
"Me too. That seems too easy for Lex, doesn't it?" Superman wondered.
"Oh much too easy," M'gann agreed.
"We better split up. Someone needs to get to Lena's lab and the others need to get to HQ," Kate said.
"I'll head to Lena's. You guys get back to my cousin," with that Superman was gone. M'gann took hold of Kate's shoulder and they were gone in a flash. The two landed back inside the Tower and found that everything seemed to be well.
"Superman showed up and helped out," Kate said.
"He did?" Kara was surprised.
"I called for backup. Besides Clark was itching to help out," J'onn smiled.
"He's been saying how much he missed this. There was no trouble on Argo," Kara smirked.
"Not enough trouble in Metropolis?" Kate was confused.
"Oh there is trouble but mostly with the boys," the blonde said.
"Boys? I thought Lois had just…" Kate was really confused.
"Crisis blessed them with twins. We aren't sure why. More on that later though. Did he head to Lena's lab?" Kara wanted to know.
"Yes. There doesn't seem to be trouble here…" M'gann had a look on her face. She was obviously bothered by the whole thing and the others were understanding of why.
"The Lexosuit was a decoy but why would Lex go and bother Lena?" J'onn raised an eyebrow.
"Especially since his mother is no longer in jail. If he would go to anyone, I would have thought her. She always favored him and kept all his crazy gadgets," Kara's disgust was obvious.
"Yes but his sister has Brainy, who knows how to undo what he did," Kate said.
"True but he figured that Brainy would die. He said as much when Nia and I stole the tube," M'gann explained.
"Well he's in for a surprise then. I'll head back over there to make sure that everything is ok," Kara said. Before anyone could do anything, the blonde was out of the window.
"Any ideas on the tube?" Kate asked.
"Leviathan is shrunk down inside the tube. The best thing is to keep them in there. Problem is, we have nowhere to hide this from Lex. With the DEO destroyed, there's no secure, twenty-four hour watched place. We'll all have to sleep sometime," J'onn frowned.
"I have a wild and crazy idea," Kate said.
"How wild and crazy?" M'gann wanted to know.
"Couldn't we send them to Argo? I mean Lex has no way to get there and they'd be able to keep everything sealed up," the Gothamite figured.
"I like you're thinking but I have a better idea. The Phantom Zone," J'onn said.
"Excellent idea. Lex could not retrieve it and even if they somehow broke the container, they'd be stuck," M'gann smiled and quickly retrieved the Projector. In an instant, the tube was gone, off to the Phantom Zone.
"Hey guys," Kara's voice came over the comms.
"What's up?" Kate asked.
"Nothing. He's not here," the blonde said.
"What the hell is he up to?" Kate wondered.
