Chapter 25
"So Eve is working with Lex and it's possible he has superpowers. Fantastic," J'onn said. The three heroes had met up at his new private investigator office to try and figure out their next move.
"My first thought was to go look for him in Kasnia but I don't think he'll be there. He intends to use my doppelganger for something. My guess is to ruin me and to attempt to get at Clark. I'm glad he's on Argo with Lois," Kara said.
"Lex had James shot so that Lena would move faster on her serum. Is it possible that Eve didn't figure out how to refine it?" The Martian wondered.
"Lex is meticulous. No way does he take the serum without having it be safe. The unrefined version will kill a human in a matter of minutes," Kara shook her head.
"Something forced him to move up his timeline," Nia said.
"Which makes him all the more dangerous," J'onn frowned. Suddenly Brainy's voice came in over the comms at the same time that J'onn's phone was ringing. The Martian answered it while the
"There's been an attack at the White House. Agent Spinelli said he's getting reports that Supergirl just tried to kill Vice President Baker. During the attack, President Marsdin stepped into save him and accidently revealed herself to be a Durlan."
"Thanks Brainy…" Kara swallowed.
"So that's his plan. He's attempting to make it look like you have lost your mind. In the process, he got lucky that the President turned out to be an alien," Nia shook her head.
"It gets worse. Vice President Baker has now assumed the Presidency, claiming that the President is an illegal alien, quite literally," J'onn said when he got off the phone.
"Well there will be no signing of the Amnesty Act now. How'd you find that out?" Nia asked.
"I still have my connections," he winked.
"So Baker is in charge, the Amnesty Act has got to be out the window, and I'm a wanted fugitive. Perfect," Kara's anger was starting to bubble.
"We have no way of knowing which side Baker falls on, he had to say something to calm the situation, but for the time being, I think Supergirl needs to go undercover. Head to the hospital and check in with Alex. Make sure she's brought up to speed. Dreamer and I will keep an eye on the streets of National City," J'onn suggested. They were about to split up when a car alarm could be heard out in the streets. Quickly, and without thinking, Kara went outside to check it out via the roof.
There she saw people beating on a car with baseball bats and a terrified person inside. The people were angry and shouting obscenities and the Krytonian swooped in to stop them. When she landed, the people stopped what they were doing. That's when she noticed they were all wearing those gold masks like the man who had interrupted CatCo.'s news feed.
"Supergirl! Time for you and your illegal alien buddies to go back to the planets you came from! Too bad you missed killing Marsdin!" One of them hurled a glass bottle at her and she cocked an eyebrow as the bottle broke harmlessly against her chest.
"Say what you want against me but you're attacking your own kind," she pointed out.
"This one is a roach, just like the rest of them," another man said. He hurled his baseball bat at the windshield of the car, shattering it, and then the group started to run. They didn't get far as Dreamer and J'onn confronted them.
"Going somewhere?" Nia asked. Not expecting to be ambushed by heroes the group seemed rooted to the floor but that lasted all of two seconds when gunshots rang out on the next street over. Kara ran over to the street to find a body in the road and a man standing over the top of it. He wore a gold mask but there was more – he was wearing the same outfit as the man in the video.
"One less roach on this planet," he said.
