Chapter 26

Kara launched herself at the man and had him by the front of his shirt up in the air. It happened so quickly that his gun skittered away from his hand and onto the street. The man didn't seem phased at all by the fact that his feet were no longer touching the ground.

"What have you done?" Kara asked him.

"Nothing that that roach didn't deserve. You're hardly the one to talk considering what you just attempted at the White House," he said. The blonde narrowed her eyes at him.

"Your laser beam eyes don't scare me," again he was completely cool, calm, and collected.

"They should. As you said, I just attempted to kill the Vice President. What makes you think I won't use them on you?" Kara was pushing the envelope, hoping that he'd crack. Her quarry remained silent for a moment or two.

"What did that man ever do to you?" She pressed.

"He just one of millions stealing human jobs, housing, and government funds. There are citizens going hungry because roaches like him are using funds they should have no rights to," the rhetoric was beginning again.

"Passing the Alien Amnesty Act would have allowed them to do everything legally. Now that chance is gone but I'm guessing you weren't thrilled about that either. You wouldn't be happy either way. The fact of the matter is they just want to live their lives, here on this planet because where they are from doesn't allow them to do so. They are just looking for a better place for their families. It's not unlike what happened after any wars on this planet. People from other countries come here to the US, looking for a new home because their own homes no longer exist. They're just looking for a better life. The thing is you don't even realize that you're even part of that group. Your family came here from somewhere else. At one point, they were immigrants just like the man you just killed. What if someone was spewing the same hate when your family came here? What if someone killed one of your family members? But you can't see past the end of your own nose and now you'll pay for it for the rest of your life," Kara spat at him. By now sirens could be heard in the distance. The police were on their way and she needed to get out of there. A quick punch to the man's mask shattered it and she looked at his face. He looked just like a man that she might pass on the street and not think twice. Despite his hateful spew, he was just a man and that was something she could work with.

Knocking him unconscious, Kara dropped him to the ground, and went to the gun before kicking it back closer to him. She looked at the poor man that had been killed. He looked no different than a regular human and she shook her head. It was probably wrong place wrong time or perhaps he stood up for the poor man inside the car and he paid for it.

Kara flew back toward her friends and they had everything under control. J'onn waved her on and she continued until she reached her apartment. Quickly changing into regular clothes, she grabbed her purse and sent a text to Alex that she was on her way.

Hurry, was the only response that she got and the feeling in the pit of her stomach grew. James was in bad shape and she hoped that Lena, Brainy, and Lillian had the serum working soon.

"We're closer than we were but it is not enough!" Lena slammed her fist onto the table as they watched the heart they were testing the serum on disintegrate.

"What are we missing?" Lillian tried to keep her focused.

"I believe this last tweak should do it," Brainy said. Lena quickly turned and looked at what Brainy had cooked up. She had this look on her face and quickly tweaked something else before running the simulation again. The time the heart survived and the vital signs actually improved.

"Get to the hospital," Brainy told her.
