Now with Ben Lockwood free, life at the DEO has gotten more difficult.
The President is lost everything happening and the public is agreeing with Lockwood more and more, causing her to be immediately kicked out of office and replaced with the Vice President.
Meaning the team can't even help people without getting a lot of hate.
Not only that, but Manchester has escaped prison with another Fifth Dimensional being named Hat, an alien creature that was raised by the government named a Morae that can go invisible and has incredible strength, and even Menagerie is back.
Brainy is training Nia in the Fortress of Solitude, so it's up to Gwenyth, Morg'Ann, J'onn, and Peter.
At the fortress, they find footage from Manchester.
"We want to send a message." Manchester starts when Menagerie interrupts.
"Low angle? Are you insane?" The camera moves up and they can all see the manslaughter they caused in the short amount of time. "We are live from a secret army base where mercenaries torture aliens when they get bored. They killed four of ours, so we killed, one, two...thirteen of theirs."
Peter was able to see their location just on the background so he and Kara race off to catch them.
"From now on, we terminate prejudice with extreme prejudice." Manchester promises as one man crawls away and the Morae crushes his back.
"Like and subscribe." Menagerie says when they vanished just when Peter and Kara showed up.
"Think we could take them?" Gwenyth asks Morg'Ann.
Morg'Ann looks at the footage and is confused. "What's up with the hat? He seems to be using it as his power." She deduces.
"They use Fifth Dimensional energy. Untraceable." J'onn tells them.
They try their best to find them, but every time they get their location, all they do is give a speech how the Children of Liberty need to be stopped and vanish.
Strange thing is, some people believe they're doing good, the Children believe they're terrorists, and they're now naming themselves the Elite.
"Hmm, I give it a 7/10 for creativity. Minus three points for manslaughter." Gwenyth comments on the name.
"Now, if I flatter myself, my guest the Girl of Yesterday is watching with her hands in hips in the name of justice with the Shining Spider are watching with their American Flag and female spider." Manchester says as everyone sees Kara is in fact standing that way and she immediately stops. "Or they can come meet me face-to-face. Dawn. Just the two big ones. Alone. I hope you make it." The screen then goes dark.
"That's a trap." Morg'Ann states, pointing to the sceeen.
"Wouldn't be the first one we've walked into." Kara says.
"He didn't even say where to meet." Nia says.
"The Flash at the end of the message had an image coded in it. A map." Peter says as his suit was able to catch it.
"Superliminal stimuli embedded in structured light." Brainy guesses. "I don't want to be impressed, but..." Peter then brings up the map and the location.
"Manchester, England. Guess he wanted home court advantage." Kara guesses.
"How long until dawn?" J'onn asks.
"3 hours, 21 minutes, 15 seconds." Brainy says.
"So we wait, and deal with them." Kara tells them the plan.

When the time came, the two of them flew to Manchester, England and found him and flew through the ceiling of the local bar.
Now he's wearing i stead of his usual coat, he's wearing armor also painted with the England flag.
"You could have just used the door." Manchester tells them.
"And you could stop killing people." Kara comments as Peter raises his shoulder missiles.
"Please, no tricks." Manchester promises and gestures them to sit. "If anything happens to me, the Morae will start killing."
"I'll stand guard." Peter promises and Kara goes to sit.
"So, what? We're just gonna sit here and domthe diner scene from Heat?" Kara asks him.
"No. Pacino, De Niro, they came alone." Manchester says when Top and Menagerie appear behind him. "Spider-Man's your protection, I have my own." He explains as they see the crown jewls in their bags.
"I thought you were all about your vendetta." Kara asks Manchester. "Ben Lockwood, Fiona."
"Why do you think I came here? Brought her things to her family." Manchester explains. "Lockwood's time will come. But this is about us. You and your group won't join us and I can't beat you. So, let's make a deal."
"I accept your surrender." Kara says, immediately.
"Never." Manchester informs her. "But I can stay out of your soup. Cat in a tree, idiot in tights, bank robbers, all yours. But the racists, the fascists, the Children of Liberty, that's our department."
"We won't let you keep killing people." Kara tells him.
"Like your government intends to kill people?" Manchester asks and Kara looks to Peter who's confused to what he's saying. "Next week, your beloved government is launching a satellite that will shoot down any alien spacecraft trying to enter our atmosphere."
"That's impossible." Kara says.
"I have it on good authority." Hat says as he's drinking a beer.
"Hat kidnaps secret agent types, learns what they're up to. That's why we formed this band of merry men." Manchester tells them and Menagerie clears her throat. "Sorry, merry people."
"Why should we believe you?" Kara asks.
"Talk to the new president, Baker. The bloke who pardoned the grand bloody wizard of the Children of Liberty. Ask him about Operation Claymore." Manchester says as he gets up and grabs his coat. "Then ask yourselves, what if it were your ship they were blowing up? You came here in a rocket. Child in a basket, you know? Real Moses stuff. Here's your chance to tell the boss to let your people go. Or else plagues'll do it for you." He says and vanishes.
Peter deactivates his weapons and mask since they're alone. "Gotta admit. That is a fair comparison."
-
Their next stop was in fact the Oval Office where President Baker just arrived.
"I will not apologize for protecting my country." Baker tells them as Peter gives him dark looks that go though the mask and Kara stands in front of him with her arms crossed.
"That's what you call this? You're holding a gun to everyone on earth, and you're calling it protection?" Peter questions.
"You've got heroes, people who are willing to help, and you're saying a weapon is better?" Kara asks.
"The two of you and your gang of masks might've sufficed for Olivia Marsdin. Not anymore." Baker tells them.
"Everyone involved in Claymore, everyone that works at that satellite base is at risk." Kara replies. "The Elite are gonna attack."
"If I closed every military base that might have be threatened, I'd have no bases left." Baker tells them.
"Maybe you shouldn't have any." Peter comments, knowing you can't solve every problem by holding a bigger gun than the other person.
"Last I checked, I don't answer to you." Baker tells him.
"Will you answer to your electorate the first time Claymore shoots down an alien ship that means no harm?" Kara asks him. "It's wrong. Innocent people will die."
"Do not interfere with that satellite!" Baker warns them.
"Last I checked, we don't answer to you." Peter quotes him and they leave.
When they left, Baker made a call for launching the satellite to tomorrow night and said it was somewhere called Devil's Tower.
Unknowingly, the Morae was there and got the information on where it is now.
-
Kara and Peter went to the fortress to tell the others, but she's conflicted.
"I don't know what we're going to do." Kara tells Peter. "We stop the satellite, were aligning with the Elite. And if we let it get launched, what does that say to the Children of Liberty? Why does it feel like there are only two choices?"
Peter agrees with her points, but they're heroes, they can't make everyone happy. Just ask Jameson. "Sometimes we can only do what we feels what's best in the moment and not worry about the future. What do you think is best?"
"We have to stop the satellite." Kara says, coming to a conclusion.
"Then let's get the gang." Peter says.
"Wait, you agree?" Kara asks.
"I'm Spider-Man. Half man, half arachnid to people. I anger everyone no matter what I do." Peter shrugs and goes to get Morg'Ann, J'onn, and Gwenyth.
-
They made it to Devils Tower seconds before the Elite arrived.
"How'd you know we were coming?" Manchester asks.
"Fish and chips...and tracking devices." Kara says looking to Menagerie who Peter snuck a tracker onto at the bar.
"This...ends...now." Peter tells them.
"You're still outnumbered." Menagerie says when Morg'Ann, Gwenyth, J'onn, Brainy and Nia come out of hiding.
"You might want to recount." Morg'Ann tells them.
"You have the Elite. We have our super friends." Kara says.
"Right." Manchester says and pulls out a gun and starts shooting.
J'onn starts evacuating the people, everyone else splits up into teams.
Kara and Peter go for Menagerie, Gwenyth and Brainy take Hat, the Morae is Nia and Morg'Ann, J'onn takes Manchester.
Hat pulls out a axe and passs it to Manchester to goes off running.
Nia uses her powers to throw the Morae across the room.
"That's rad." Morg'Ann comments.
Brainy punches Hat and Gwenyth webs his hat away from him.
"I built the gloves to harness raw dream energy!" Brainy tells them. "So, yes, it's quite rad."
During the fighting, Alex showed up and helped J'onn with Manchester.
Hat tries to get his...well, hat back, but Gwenyth keeps it away from him.
He goes to reach it again, but the second he turns around, he was smacked in the face by Morg'Ann and her shield.
"Is that all of them?" Gwenyth asks as Nia takes down Menagerie.
"Where's the Morae?" Brainy asks.
Kara and Peter go to the satellite control room to end this where they see the Morae escaped there and has already messed with the controls.
Peter races to the controls to see what she did, and sees the satellite is about to launch.
"They started the launch?" Kara asks. "Why would they do that?"
"I can't do anything, the controls are fried." Peter tells her.
"That was the plan, wasn't it?" Manchester asks and they turn to see he has Alex.
"What did you do?" Kara asks.
"Picked my own target." Manchester says. "1600 Penn. The White House. Your government, on fire, hoisted by its one petard. As soon as it reaches orbit, it'll fire. There's a reason it's called playing God."
Alex quickly punches Manchester, taking him down.
"Stop it." Alex tells the two.
Peter quickly takes out a small disk-like container and places it on Kara's back.
Before she could ask what he's doing, a space suit forms around her and she takes off with Peter to stop it.
They fly off into space and see its seconds away from firing.
Peter and Kara quickly fly into it and push it off orbit, stopping it from hitting its target.
Next thing they did, they raised their wrists and the suits fired Decimator missiles out and evaporated the satellite instantly.
-
Sadly, the next thing they had to do was answer to the President. And they really miss Olivia.
"That satellite array was created to protect Americans. Not to mention that it cost 2 billion dollars!" Baker tells them. "And now it's gone. And here we are."
"Yes, here we are. Safe and sound. Out of harms way." Peter comments.
"The staff, your loved ones, thanks to us, they weren't leveled by a weapon that their own government created." Kara says.
"You can tell me. You hated the satellite. You're superheroes. There had to be a way to stop Claymore without blowing it up. No, you did it because you wanted to." Baker tells them.
"There was no other way." They both say in union.
"Next time...don't try carrying a gun into a world trying to attain peace." Peter comments as they leave.
Baker sees that now might be the perfect opportunity to rethink the offer made by Lockwood to deputies the Children of Liberty.
-
Peter and Kara are back at her place eating as Kara is wondering about the suit.
"Did you seriously have a space suit for me on the ready?" Kara finally asks.
"I had it built for you ever since the kryptonite poison." Peter explains to her. "I want to keep you safe, I'll do anything to keep you safe."
"I'll always do the same to you." Kara promises and places her hand over his. "I love you."
Peter looks at her and they realize that was the first time she actually said it. He looks into Kara's eyes and knows he can't keep it from her, but he doesn't want to burden her.
Getting up, he walks with this dilemma in his mind.
"Peter, you okay?" Kara asks and follows him as he knows he needs to tell her.
With everything going on, maybe now might be the only time to tell her.
With everything going on, that makes this the worse time to tell her.
He wants to tell her how he feels.
Telling her now will crush her more when the day comes.
She needs to know she has no future with him.
Saying that will only hurt her unless he tells her why.
Telling her why will help her understand.
Telling her why might cause her to sacrifice herself for him.
The Monitor told him because he needs to make the decision.
But he's taking the decision from her.
He doesn't want her to have to choose between everything or him.
She will always put family first.
'At least tell her how you feel.' His thoughts tell him.
"Kara...I need to say something.." Peter says and finally faces her. "I...you...I don't have many people in my life. It makes me weak. But being with you has shown me people can make me stronger. But with you, I feel stronger..and weaker at the same time. The truth is I don't know how I feel. But I know what kind of man I want to be. The man you deserve."
"Peter..." Kara says as she places her arms around his neck. "You are the man I want. You don't need to change for me. I love you for who you are."
"Me too." Peter says and the two lean in slowly and start passionately kissing the other.
Kara and Peter pull each other closer, as close as humanly possible.
She leads him into the bedroom while Peter tries unbuttoning her shirt and she tries taking off his.
As for the rest, you can fill it in.
