Chapter 16
Kara didn't stop to think and quickly tackled Mercy to the ground, throwing her assault rifle away from her. Everything electronic was dead – including the engines on the cars from the motorcades and the engine on the helicopter. The Secret Service agents were screaming for help as their airborne vehicle was quickly not being airborne any more.
"You can stop me or save them but you can't do both," Mercy smirked. Kara frowned and punched Mercy just hard enough in the head to knock her out. She radioed to anyone listening that they needed to pick up the woman as she flew towards the helicopter and its occupants.
The Maiden of Might reached the helicopter just moments before it would have smashed into the ground – swooping in underneath the bottom of the craft and lifting it up. With its descent stopped, the passengers cheered as she carefully set it down in the field. They had been lucky the pilot was over open ground when the device had been activated.
"Everybody ok?" Supergirl asked, once she set the helicopter down.
"Shaken up but ok I think," the pilot smiled.
"Good. I have to get back to the President," with that Kara was gone and the agents tumbled out of the helicopter, glad to be alive.
"Did anyone grab Mercy?" Kara asked as she flew back toward the motorcade.
"I have her. We've rounded up most of her goons as well. Spinelli is having the woods swept for anyone still hiding out," J'onn told her.
"I'm heading for the President," the blonde said right before she landed next to the middle vehicle.
"Is everyone ok?" Kara asked, hoping to hear a response. The doors were electronically locked and when Mercy's device was activated they failed in the locked position. The SUVs' doors would not open.
"We're stuck. The doors won't open," an agent announced. Kara smirked, punched her hand into the back driver door and ripped it from its hinges.
"I think this will help," she smiled.
"Agreed. Thank you Supergirl," President Marsdin smiled back.
"New vehicles will be arriving for transport in twenty minutes. Have all the enemy been rounded up?" An agent asked as he exited the vehicle.
"Just mopping up around the edges," Kara confirmed.
"All right, everyone move back inside. Until our second transport comes, we're sitting ducks," the agent relayed to the others in the car.
"You guys go and I'll free the others," the blonde reassured him. Quickly, she ripped the other doors off and people streamed back into the building. Kara made sure everyone made it inside before checking in with J'onn and the DEO agents.
"Get anything out of Mercy?" She asked.
"She's still out but we scrounged through her pockets. The device is a mini EMP. My guess something she borrowed from Lena," J'onn frowned.
"Great. Alex will not be happy when she hears that," Kara heaved a sigh.
"Better news is we managed to capture everyone that came with Mercy. Problem is we don't know if there are more back in National City or if these guys are the local branch. Brainy is checking flight manifests just in case to see how Mercy got here and if any of her cronies came with," he explained.
"Something isn't sitting right. How'd they get the money to get here? Who is building their gadgets? They were well organized again. Kryptonite bullets, assault rifles, EMPs, dirt bikes – someone has to be paying for it all and it can't be Mercy," the blonde said.
"ET must be the one with the money. We need to find this person and fast," J'onn told her.
"Agreed. Hopefully when Alex gets here we can have a chat," Kara nodded.
