The two heroes are flying trough the sky, now moving onto arial training while Alex is trying to find out what Maxwell is holding in that room. And Kara also learned that Hank is a Martian which was hard to explain when Alex was the first person he mentioned it to.
Kara was flying through the sky waiting for a surprise attack from Peter when he comes flying in and punches her in the face, sending her falling before she regains control over herself and flies back up to see Peter waiting for her.
"You have to make sure you constantly keep an eye on your six, you don't have a six sense like me." Peter reminds her.
"Yeah, well, my superhearing usually helps substitute for that." Kara tells him.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be helping you now." Peter says before blasting her with his repulsers on the lowest setting, only to send her flying, not to harm her.
Kara slams into the ground and realizes she lost track of time.
"Oh, my god, I have to get to work." Kara says as Peter joins her on the ground.
"We'll continue this later on." Peter promises.
"I cannot wait." Kara sarcastically tells him before flying off.
"Nice to see you and her are getting along." Gwen says from inside the DEO truck who was monitoring their fighting techniques.
"Yeah, she wants me to teach her to be like me, but it's harder since she's stronger than me. But doesn't want to use it." Peter tells her as he joins her in the truck.
"Let's see what we can improve on." Gwen says and runs an algorithm on her videos to show her weak points.
-
Kara returned to work to hear that Cat offered Lucy a job, and she took it while there's an anti-alien rally happening later on. That's when Kara met Cat's first son, Adam.
She sent out a letter for him, to meet up with Cat and Adam to get to know each other, but it went a bit sideways with her and Cat. But Kara was able to get to get Cat to see why she did it and she understands.
-
At the rally, everyone there has signs protesting against Supergirl, Superman and Spider-Man. The DEO are also there for in case anyone tried anything stupid or crazy while James is photographing for Catco.
"Thank you. Thank you all for coming." Crane says through a microphone. "Aliens. Extraterrestrials. Non-humans. Whether they're wearing a red cape or not, they are a threat to this country, our freedom, and our lives. Starting today, we need solutions. We need to know where they live, what they do and who they eat."
"Okay, she just offended humans and aliens throughout the galaxy." Peter states from the truck.
"Most importantly, we need to stop them from landing in our country. If it takes a dome, let's build a dome. It's time to stop talking and start acting. Monsters are coming for your families." Crane continues when a alien creature comes in and attacks her guards.
Everyone starts running as the creature moves with super speed through the crowd. Now Peter decides to get involved and exits the truck wearing his Iron-Spider and sees the alien attacking Crane and the cars.
He sends a powerful blast at it when it goes speeding into the garage. Kara comes flying past as Peter follows and finds Crane on the floor.
"Where'd it go?" Kara asks as she helps Crane stand up.
"I don't know." Crane answers as Peter is scanning the area. "It was just here."
"Well, whatever it is, it's gone now." Peter tells them.
-
They bring Senator Crane into the DEO to keep her safe and she doesn't like the idea.
"The general told me that for all your big talk about monitoring aliens, you're the first one to let them in through the front door." Crane states and looks to Kara.
"I suppose you forgot the part where we saved your ass." Kara states for her and Peter.
"For all I know, you all staged that little stunt." Crane replies. "It's just like an alien. You're all the same. Disgusting insects who've come crawling from your own diseased, backwater planets, looking to suck our resources for yourselves." She explains when Alex stabs her with a sedative to keep her quiet.
"My team and I are currently tracking your attacker. We'll keep you updated." Hank promises her.
"I told you, I'm not staying here." She tells Hank.
"Madam senator, as long as it's out there, you're in here. Enjoy your stay at the DEO." Hank states to her and calls Peter, Alex and Kara out to talk.
As it turns out, the creature that attacked her was called a White Martin, different from J'onn's Green Martian's and the creature is on a mission to kill him. And that it was because of Hank that it's here. It will be able to use its own abilities and it tracked Hank after all of this time.
They promise that if they need to fight it, Kara and Peter will be there to help.
"I have to ask you for something. I should be the one to face this thing. But if I reveal myself it'll mean the end of my life as Hank Henshaw." He tells them. "And if Hank goes, General Lane gets the DEO. And you know what that means."
"You've had my back a million times. I'll bring it in." Kara promises.
"You've kept me from killing myself and made me the hero I am, we'll stop it." Peter promises him before leaving.
-
Kara went to work to make sure Cat made it to her dinner with Adam.
While with James, he shows Kara the pictures he took during the rally to see if she can find anything when James finds that Crane's eyes started glowing like the White Martian's eyes did. But they only started glowing after the two of them saved her.
The Martian somehow made himself shapeshift to look like Crane.
-
"How long will I be staying here?" Crane asks while walking through the DEO with Hank.
"Supergirl and Spider-Man have graciously agreed to bring your attacker in personally, at great risk to them, I might add." Hank tells her. "When they capture it, you'll be safe to go."
"And what makes you think I'll be safe here?" Crane asks.
"What are you getting at, senator?" Hank questions.
"Nothing except whispers in Washington that say you need to clean house." Crane tells him. "They say that Supergirl's not the only alien inside the DEO. And I'm not referring to Spider-Man. You've got a mole, Henshaw."
"Madam, I trust you won't be insulted if I called you paranoid. God knows I wouldn't be the first." Hank states to her.
"Some aliens can look like anyone. We may not have much in common, but I think it's safe to say neither one of us enjoy the idea of an alien spy working within your walls. And if it became public, well, that would certainly be very embarrassing for you." Crane says.
"Why do I sense you have a proposal?" Hank asks.
"Conduct a very quiet internal investigation. I'm sure finding an alien is within your abilities." Crane explains.
"Madam, trust me. Your time would be better spent focusing on the American people rather than these comic book delusions." Hank states.
"Fine. Play dumb. Let a mole run wild in here, just like you let a White Martian run wild on the street." Crane says and Hank is questioning how she knew what the alien was. "But when your brought down from the inside, you remember this. You were warned."
In the labs, Peter is waiting for a call to action and is in his personal training room when his com link goes off.
"Skirt, did you find anything?" Peter asks into the device.
"I'm pretty sure the White Martian shapeshifted into senator Crane. Which means the real senator might still be in danger somewhere." Kara informs him.
"Then you better hurry back." Peter says before stopping his workout and grabs his suit canister.
"It's in your best interest to find this alien interloper as quickly as possible." Crane tells Hank. "Your entire operations been compromised." She states when Hank sees Alex who has gotten a message from Peter about Crane and is aiming her gun at her.
"There are no hidden aliens here." Hank tells Crane.
"Are you absolutely sure of that, Director Henshaw?" Crane asks him.
"I wish I could say yes." Hank replies and gets to the point. "I never said you were attacked by a White Martian." He states seeing through her.
"Well, you're smarter than I thought." Crane says before sending Hank flying.
Crane follows and Alex starts shooting when Peter comes flying back in with his repulsers on maximum power. With her speed, she had the small advantage when Peter was able to blast off one of her fingers and Hank froze at the site of it.
Kara comes flying in and gives Peter a hand at beating the thing, before she escaped through the ceiling.
"Alex, we're going after it, stay with Hank." Peter says before they blast off and they can't find it when Kara was called back into work and Peter decides to continue the mission alone.
Hank explains to Alex his family was murdered by the White Martian's, including his wife and children, who he couldn't save but he escaped able to to make it to earth, and now he's worried they'll do the same thing on earth.
Alex explains how his family wouldn't be ashamed he escaped, but he knows that he has to fight the Martian.
-
Peter works throughout the city and couldn't find it, he went to make sure Gwen was okay.
"Hey, you good?" Peter asks and pulls her into a hug to see she's okay.
"Yeah, of course I am. You make it sound like I can't handle myself." Gwen states to him. "I mean, who built all of the gadgets that keep you safe?" She asks him and looks over to the wall of unfinished gadgets, or finished ready for use gadgets.
"Yeah, I know, you're able to care for yourself, doesn't mean that I'll ever stop worrying." Peter tells her and kisses her head.
In the other room, Hank and Alex have the finger Peter blasted off and Hank plans on using it to track the alien, and to stop it.
"That's not happening. We're doing this together." Alex tells him.
"We're not bringing it in." Hank states as he promises to get vengeance for his family by stopping the creature.
"You're not a murderer." Alex says as Hank leaves the labs.
"You don't know me. I am 317 years old. I can wear any face I choose. I speak languages your mouth can't even form. You know nothing about me." Hank informs her as Alex walks in front of him.
"What about the real senator Crane?" Alex asks him.
"She's dead." Hank tells her.
"You don't know that. You said it yourself. We don't choose who we protect. So if she's still alive, we have to find her. I know you believe in honor. There is no honor in what you're about to do."
"It no longer matters." Hank says before leaving.
-
Hank was able to locate the Martian down in the sewers and now all of the DEO is in the sewers looking.
"Hank, everything okay?" Alex asks.
"I'm in the sewers, Agent dangers. Everything's peachy." Hank informs from his corner of the sewers.
"Just let us know if you find anything." Peter says as his senses pick up someone calling for help.
He leads the way as Alex and a few agents follow into a locked off portion of the sewers and breaks off the lock as they find Crane.
"Senator Crane." Alex calls out as they see her.
"Thank god." Crane says when Peter's senses warn him, it isn't Crane.
"That's impossible. She's with me." Hank says and Peter quickly raises his arms to blast the face Crane when she grabs one of the agents and reveals her demon like mouth to him and Alex.
Peter tries his best to fight the creature off, but Alex was able to escape while he was caught.
-
Later, Peter wakes up with a gigantic headache and a bruise across his head.
"Would you like to know why I haven't killed you?" The White Martian, still disguised as Clare asks.
"Most likely for bait, if I had to make a guess." Peter states and starts standing up, but is still completely weak.
"You could save yourself pain by telling me which of your coworkers is the Martian." Clare tells him.
"The day I talk, will be the day I die." Peter promises, he's been through enough pain and training this past decade that he's not able to be broken so easily.
"The thing you're protecting it's the last remnant of an infestation my people eradicated." Clare informs him. "It's an insect. But you? You and that Kryptonian fight well together, shouldn't be surprised since I can smell traces of Kryptonian inside of you, your highness. And you will work as bait."
"You will not harm him." Hank's voice fills their heads. "You may not have a soul, but we share a telepathic bond. I've been loath to use it, but you left me no choice."
"You want your hybrid pet back?" Clare asks him, wherever he is.
-
"I want this to end. Prove to me my hero is alive, and I'll come." Hank promises from inside the DEO where Alex and Kara are with him as he's talking to her.
"Your friend wants to know you're still breathing." Clare tells Peter.
"J'onn, don't do this." Peter begs of him.
"Is he alive?" Kara asks, worried for her friend.
"I can hear him, he's alive." Hank tells her. "This ends tonight."
"The desert. It reminds me of home. Come now so I can water the ground with your blood, J'onn J'onzz. Or you can let another child die." Clare tells him which angers him and hangs up the psychic link.
"She's in the desert. You get Parker and get out." Hank explains the plan to Kara.
"I'm not leaving you alone with that thing." Kara tells him.
"You have to. I'm done." Hank replies to her.
"Done with what? It has Peter. We've got to stop it." Alex states to him.
"This started because it wanted me dead. My race gone. If I'm all that's left, let it have me." Hank replies.
"No, this murderer does not get to win." Kara says getting in front of him. "And you don't get to give up."
"It will save Parker, that's all that matters." Hank tells her.
"We don't choose. We fight." Kara states.
"Kara, I'm tired of being the last. Tired of having lived. You, of all people, know how heavy it is to survive."
"I do, I ask myself every day why my mother didn't crawl into that pod with me. Now I know she felt guilty. She felt responsible for what happened on Krypton. Dying must've seemed...honorable. But dying is a lot easier than getting back up when the world's ended. You have to get up. You have to go on." Kara begs the Martian.
"My road is done." Hank says before walking past her. "I'll help Peter, and join my people. Wherever they are." He says before leaving.
-
In the desert, Hank is out in the open waiting when someone slams the ground behind him and he turns around to see Peter and Crane.
"Is this what you wanted?" Crane asks him.
"Hey, Hank. How's it going?" Peter asks, sarcastically.
"This is between us." Hank tells her in their Martian tongue.
"I see your mind. Everything. I see your children burning." Clare says.
"You and your evil kind will never rest until I'm gone." Hank states.
"You surrender?" Clare asks.
Hank then kneels down in front of Crane. "Send me to my family." He asks as Crane transforms into her original form.
"Finally the last Green Martian dies." The White Martian says before Kara comes in and slams him into the ground and Hank transforms back into his original skin and the two Martian's begin fighting in the sky.
Kara runs to Peter to help him up. "Hey, your suit have any energy left?" She asks him.
"It's got a bit left to take down a Martian." Peter states as they both take to the skies to help Hank and the three of them start fighting off the White Martian. They fight until they finally take it down and slam it into the ground.
"Is that all?" Peter wonders when Hank pulls out kryptonite handcuffs and binds Kara and shoots Peter with a electromagnetic charger that disables his suit.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you stop me." Hank explains to them and turns to the White Martian.
"J'onn, listen to me." Peter begs as Kara is getting weaker by the minute. "I lost everything. Everyone, just like you." He states to Hank. "And trust me, it doesn't ever get any easier. It creates a crater in your chest. But that doesn't mean you need to become like the person who took them from you. They might not have been my real family, but they were real to me. Don't throw away your life because of anger. If you do, than they win. The Last Son of Mars dies even if you survive. Your honor, everything dies with it." He promises knowing how he's dealing after loosing everyone in his life from friends to family.
Hank thinks and takes his words to heart before knowing what he has to do.
-
They bring the White Martian into the DEO and traps it in their containment cells.
"My kind will come for me and you will die! They will come and you will all know destruction!" The White Martian warns them.
"Their are more of you?" Kara asks.
"Thousands. Millions." The White Martian informs them.
"Let them come, they want a fight, we'll bring them a war." Peter promises while he has a bandage over his head from the bruise as they both leave the room and leave it to scream in anger.
"How's your head?" Kara asks.
"Nah, it's nothing. I have a think skull, just ask Gwen." Peter jokes when they see Crane on the news.
"I know many of my supporters are surprised to hear that I'm revising my stance on the anti-alien initiative. While it's important we remain cautious, we still have a lot to learn before we take action."
"Senator, this decision is in light of an alien at your rally. What changed?"
"Supergirl and Spider-Man. They apprehended my attacker and saved who knows how many lives. Their efforts to protect me and National City taught me that not all visitors to our world are the enemy. And as a nation, we cannot let fear dictate our future." Crane answers.
"Don't you have to get to work?" Peter asks and Kara looks to see he's right and uses her super speed to rush off. "Why do I find that funny?" He asks himself before walking away to find something to do until the next crisis.
Because theirs always another one around the corner.
-
At Catco, Kara was asked out by Adam and Kara doesn't know how to turn him down and decides to go with it and sees what happens.
Not only that, but later that night, Gwen and Peter were out at dinner when they saw the news that a new black suited Spider-Man and Supergirl were out attacking people.
"I hate it when I'm right." Peter states seeing a new possible crisis has come.
But if that's not Kara, why does she look exactly like her and Peter's is wearing a complete dark outfit with only his spider symbol on it to match.
