So, to list the recent events that have transpired in the past half hour today, Kara accidentally lost her temper during some crazy drivers almost hitting a soccer team of kids, then Lord sent out a message about how she's actually more dangerous than Superman.
Oh, and the General's paying the DEO a visit, and he despises people with powers and aliens.
Hank, Peter, Alex and Kara wait their arrival and they come with three armored vehicles as General Lane approaches them.
"Director Henshaw." He greets Hank.
"General Lane. What can I do for Army Intelligence?" Hank asks him, since he got a last second notice like everyone else.
"I need you to approve an immediate transfer. A member of your field unit to my command." Lane explains.
"Really? And who would that be?" Hank asks.
"The lady in red." Lane says looking to Kara.
"Technically, Supergirl doesn't work for this organization." Peter informs them while he's dressed in his Iron-Spider. He doesn't trust the General with his identity.
"If I had my way, no one would." Lane replies to the spider menace. "Your cobert operations could be handled effectively with my special forces and without foreign assistance." He says and this time, he looked toward both Peter and Kara.
"Who you calling foreign?" Peter asks the general since, as far as anyone is concerned, he was a human being and was born in the USA.
"Why do you need me?" Kara asks him.
"We've been developing something. An anti-insurgent combat device. Project code name, RT. I need her help testing it for me." Lane explains when Lucy Lane approaches.
"She has no choice. We have an executive order forcing you to comply." She says with a paper in her hand as she approaches them.
"My legal attaché and my daughter, major Lane." General introduces them as she hands the paper to Hank. "It's been signed by the president. You can take it up with her if you like."
"Unless you don't think you're up to it." Lucy antagonizing Kara.
"I'll do it." Kara tells them.
"Supergirl, you don't have to." Alex says.
"Yeah, I think they're trying to get a rise out of you. They did the same to me already." Peter tells her.
"I agree with Agent Danvers and Spider-Man." Hank tells Kara.
"What do you need me to do?" Kara asks the General, ignoring what they told her.
"Fight my robot." General says when dr. Morrow, their head of science division interrupts.
"It's not a robot. It's an anthropomorphic pseudo entity with combat capabilities." Morrow informs them.
"I stand corrected, Doctor." General apologizes when he opens the case they towed with them and reveal a figure like robot that's completely red all over.
"I call it Red Tornado." Morrow tells them as he activates the robot and it's eyes are shown yellowish red.
-
"So, apparently, I'm fighting a robot tomorrow." Kara tells Winn who is busy looking through the DEO software for information on Alex's father after she asked him to look into it.
"Robot?" He asks, intrigued. "Wait, what robot are we talking, like a C3P0? Terminator? Roomba?"
"DEO testing out a new toy?" James asks her.
"Military, actually. General Lane asked for my help." Kara explains to the two of them. "Even Lucy was there."
"She didn't recognize you, did she?" Winn asks.
"No." Kara says happy to say she wasn't recognized.
"So that's what her father is doing here." James realizes since after the bomb incident, he and Lucy got back together and she asked him to meet up with her father since he was in town, "Kara, you can say no to this." He informs her.
"I can't. I have to show her-him I can be a team player. That my cousin and I can be trusted." Kara says and wonders why does the government seem to distrust Spider-Man since he's been here longer than either of them revealed themselves.
"Wait, does the robot fight mean that game night is cancelled?" Winn asks her.
"No! Game night is the last shred of normalcy that remains in our crime stopping, alien hunting, DEO hacking lives." Kara informs them. "Game night survives. It has to."
"Okay, Lucy and I will see you there." James says before getting up to leave.
-
The next day, everyone is ready for her to fight Red Tornado.
"This is a bad idea." Peter states to Gwen referring to the fight.
"What, you think she can't do it?" Gwen asks him.
"I think she's going to overdo it." Peter states and looks at the robot from a distance. "Also, why does that thing remind me of my original outfit?"
"Because when you started, all you had were a pair of jeans and a hoodie with no sleeves." Gwen reminds him. "Oh, and a ski mask with goggles." She adds on.
"If at any point, I don't like what I'm seeing, I'm ending this." Hank warns Lane.
"Which I would completely understand, if you had any authority over me." Lane replies to Hank meaning he's taking this as far as he wants when he activates the robot.
Red Tornado locks onto Kara and spins his arms around and sends Kara into the air with several rockets.
"Maybe she's not taking this seriously." Lucy states when Kara drops to the ground and Red Tornado can't find her as she travels through the ground and hits the robot down before starting to give it a beat down.
"It's experiencing system damage." Morrow warns them. "Test is over, pull the plug."
"Supergirl, you won." Alex informs her when the robot tries punching Kara and she freezes its arm.
"Supergirl, that's enough." Peter says and Kara stops when Red Tornado takes off into the air.
"Where's he going?" Gwen asks their scientist.
"She must have triggered his emergency self-preservation function." Morrow tells them. "He's in stealth mode now, making him 100% undetectable."
"This is your fault." General Lane informs Kara.
"You asked me to fight it." Kara replies to him.
"And now your recklessness has unleashed an uncontrollable killing machine on National City." Lane states.
"Was it really her fault?" Peter asks him. "She followed your orders, fought it, lost herself at the end grant you, but that was before it was over. But that doesn't matter, we have to find if." He states and they see he's right.
They return to the inside of the DEO to find a way of finding Red Tornado.
"A billion dollars investment, eleven years of RD, and what do we have? A paper weight." General Lane says referring to the arm Kara froze off. "I want this thing found and destroyed before it turns National City into a war zone."
"Destroy it?" Morrow asks, this being the first he heard it. "You can't do that."
"The last thing the army needs is a bunch of wounded civilians on the 9:00 news." Lane explains to him.
"I've invested too much time and effort into this." Morrow says.
"Into what, Morrow? The Red Tornado failed, twice. And so did you. You're fired." Lane informs him and he takes his leave.
-
Alex brought the damaged arm to Maxwell Lord to track down Red Tornado using his resources but he refused to help them so that was just a dead end. But Max knows he can use this information to his own advantage.
Kara got some advice from ms. Grant about controlling her anger while General Lane went to dinner with his daughter and James where he was met by Red Tornado. The robot starts terrorizing the city and shoots Lucy down the road where James ran after her
"I order you to disengage immediately." Lane warns Red Tornado who went to hit him when Kara interrupted.
"I'm not gonna let you hurt them." Kara promises and throws punches before kicking him down the sidewalk when he starts spinning, leaving a tornado in his place and it starts destroying the city.
Peter flies down and sees what's happening. "Go, I'll take Tomato Vision here, you find a way of stopping that thing." He offers to her and she flies out to the Tornado and flies in the opposite direction of it, to stop the wind, and it.
Peter tries fighting the Red Tornado but it's almost like it knew every move he was going to make before blasting Peter away and taking off.
-
Lucy was brought to the DEO to be check up on while Gwen made sure Peter was all right after being beaten by the robot.
"You two let that thing get away. And here I thought you were on our side." Lane tells the two heroes angry at them.
"I tried." Peter defends. "But it's like it knew what I was going to do before I even did it myself." He informs Lane.
"Yeah, it fought harder this time, faster." Kara says. "Like it learned a thing or two from last time."
"It's like it knew you would choose to save the people and would be able to fight off Spider-Man." Lucy says, agreeing with them. "He used your humanities against you."
"And now more innocent humans could be in danger." General informs them, and he's seriously getting on the heroes nerves. "If anything else happens, you two and the DEO will both be held accountable."
"That's enough, General!" Hank finally yells at the General, angry at what Gwen recently discovered. "My Head of Science analyzed Red Tornado's dermal covering. It's made of a biosynthetic polymer which contains traces of lead. To suppress X-ray vision, right? And most of the components inside are the same you had for the robot Spider Slayer, you had my man fight half a decade ago. The Android wasn't meant to fight insurgents. It was designed to kill Kryptonians and Spider-Man." He clarifies since to the world, Spider-Man is still human. And Hank wasn't gonna let out the information that he was a Kryptonian.
"You've got Fort Rozz aliens locked up downstairs. Monsters. Abominations. Some of them have wings." General Lane reminds him. "Some have horns. And others spit acid. Do you know the difference between the ones downstairs and the ones upstairs?" He asks Hank. "They haven't turned yet."
"They saved you and your daughter, tonight. You don't owe them fear and contempt. You owe them a thank you." Hank states and General Lane just leaves and Lucy isn't too far behind.
Alex the approaches, seeing they're gone. "Maxwell Lord just called. Said he saw you two on the news fighting Red Tornado." She explains to the heroes. "He wants to talk to me."
What Alex was able to learn from him was that Red Tornado is being controlled by Morrow still, meaning they need to find him if they want to stop the android.
"Morrow wants revenge on Lane for mothballing his project, understandably." Peter says as Alex explains to them.
"So if we take out dr. Morrow, we take out Red Tornado." Kara recaps.
"So how do we find Morrow?" Hank asks.
"We draw out the android, then Gwen will trace the signal that Morrow is using to control it back to him." Alex explains her plan she was able to come up with. "Kara and Peter keeps Red Tornado occupied and we'll find him."
-
General Lane is out in the open when Red Tornado comes down as they thought and Gwen was able to pinpoint where Morrow was at and Alex took it from there. Red Tornado runs at Lane only to learn it was a hologram being projected when he starts getting shot at by a bunker buster blaster that Gwen had designed.
"I think we got his attention." Kara says as Red Tornado turns to face them.
"Then let's start the beat down." Peter says warning up the repulsers and web canisters.
It didn't do much damage to him, but all it was supposed to do was keep him distracting and he flies at the heroes.
Alex makes it to where Gwen tracked the signal to find the computers controlling Red Tornado.
"That won't do anything." Morrow warns Alex as she turns to see he's wearing something on his head. "Telepathic relay interface, to control his cerebral matrix. If you want to stop him, you will have to cease any neural function from his creator. You'll have to kill me."
"You don't have throw your life away." Alex tells him.
"The Red Tornado is my life." Morrow says and he starts fighting Alex after he gets the gun out of her hands.
Outside, Peter and Kara are fighting Red Tornado, as one of them takes a hit, the other is able to get a hit in. They work as a pair, as a team. Use their individual strengths to fight him. But they don't know how long until he gets the upper hand again.
Back with Alex, she was able to get her gun back and accidentally shot Morrow shutting down Red Tornado.
"We did it." Kara says seeing it fall to the ground but it starts coming back to life. "It's still going!" Kara tells them, but understanding.
"No commands are being transmitted to the android. It's become sentient." Alex warns them.
Kara and Peter watch as it starts walking at them but Peter shoots his repulsers on maximum power and Kara does the same with her heat vision, and together they were able to break trough the robot finally.
"Is it sad to say the reason I have repulsers was because Gwen thought the robot uprising would come?" Peter asks Kara. "I owe her fifty bucks now that it's actually happened."
-
Later on, Winn was able to find a file that explains that Hank is covering up on the death of her father and she starts to think that Hank might have done something to her father.
Now that gets them wondering what Hank is hiding.
But the worst thing, when Kara went back to work, she cut herself on a piece of glass.
Kara Danvers, Supergirl, bled. Somethings wrong.
