DS:Excellent catch, I knew it, and knew the reader would, but forget to tell the characters. I'll fix that.
Another AU point, for my purposes, the effects of red and green kryptonite are reversed on Supergirl. Red affects her like green does superman, while green affects her similarly the way red does superman.

"Be careful Bane, we need her mostly undamaged." Savage grunted as Bane carried her through the doors of the hideout. Actually it wasn't so much a door as Ivy had ordered the vines to part.
"Oh leave him alone." Harley interjected. "He knows what to do."
"She's right Vandal." Ivy muttered as she followed him in. "Just open the door." The vines were an outer door, and hid the real entrance to the hangar. Savage pressed his hand to the panel, and the door slid open. Bane ducked as he entered. Savage and the girls followed, and the door closed. Bane settled Hawkgirl down onto the gurney. Savage pulled tight the straps, and pushed her down the hall. The sign over the door said, Surgery.

:Who hit me?: Was the first thought Hawkgirl had as she awoke.
"Excellent, our little dove is awake." Recognizing the voice, Hawkgirl began to struggle. But she wasn't able to break the manacles. "Now, now, don't strain yourself." Savage smiled down at her. She spit in his face. He reached up, and wiped the spit off. "Ivy dear, would you?"
"Of course." Ivy replaced him, and was smart enough not to lean over her, so she could not spit at her. The collar around her neck prevented her from turning her head. "I know you're a smart girl, so I'll bet you know what we want from you. All we need to know, is how to destroy your little friends at the Justice League. Tell us that, and we'll let you go."
"I have no friends. With the Justice League, or anywhere else." Came the sullen reply.
"Then tell us about those who abandoned you." Ivy questioned.
"Why? My Thangarian brethren have left this world." She responded.
"Fine, tell us about the idiots you betrayed." Ivy snapped.
"You know more about being human than I do. You are, or once were one, so you have more insight than I do." Ivy stopped.
"What does that mean?" She asked.
"Simple, humanity is who I betrayed. The entire population of earth." Hawkgirl replied. Ivy stood, and walked over to the wall. Savage watched quietly as she began to beat her head against it. After a moment, he decided she had the right idea, and joined her. Harley muttered something neither could hear, and tried.
"What we want to know, is how to defeat Superman, Bats, Flash, Green Lantern, green boy, and Wonder Twit." She clarified.
"Oh. That's easy." The four villains leaned closer. "You can't. If you can't defeat them one at a time, then you can't take down all six at once." She said quietly.
"But there are no longer just six." Savage informed her.
"What?" She asked suddenly. She'd made it a point to stay well away from anything that reminded her of the League.
"They have invited every hero on earth to join with them. And all have accepted. But those six still form the core of the League. They are all that holds it together. If we destroy them..." Savage turned suddenly and began beating his head on the wall again. Ivy patted his shoulder consolingly.
"There, there, we all get it once in a while." She muttered. Harley raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. Ivy explained. "Supervillian syndrome, we tend to talk to much when we get an advantage." She smiled. Harley nodded.

"Just how well do you know... Hawkgirl?" John asked, as they floated along, the ring glowing, and illuminating the tracks on the ground.
"As well as one knows ones brother, or sister. I would have you know, that I do not feel that way about her." Chi replied very, very carefully.
"What way?" John asked, utterly controlled.
"I do not wish her as a lover, as you do." Chi said. They both stopped, and Lantern spun.
"And just what makes you think that I do?" He snapped.
"Why else would you come all this way to find her? If you didn't want more than just friendship, you would have waited for her to return on her own." Chi said. "Though you would be the last man to admit it, you are still deeply in love with her. I can see it in your eyes."
"You don't know what you're talking about. That's the effect the ring has on me." He turned, and swept ahead, the ring making Chi trail him too far to be heard.

"I really wish there was an easier way to travel." I complained again.
"Look, you can't fly, and this is the fastest way. Zatanna's not complaining." Supergirl pointed out.
"She's driving. You're the car, she's the driver, and I'm stuffed in the trunk." I moaned.
"I thought you liked being behind me." She asked, chuckling.
"I said I liked to watch you walk, there's a difference." I replied. "I'm sorry, I'm getting premonitions again, but they're not as clear anymore." I shook my head and sighed.
"There are signs of a struggle ahead." Zatanna informed us. Supergirl stopped, and turned her head.
"And here comes Lantern." Her hearing had picked up the end of the conversation between Chi, and Green Lantern. We arrived as they did.
"Look." I pointed, having seen it first. Lantern dropped Chi to the ground, and floated over before landing. He bent and lifted the weapon.
"It's her mace. Something must have happened, she'd never be caught without it." He gripped the shaft of the weapon hard for a moment. The way he was turned, no one else could see the tears forming in his eyes. I walked over, and reached out to take the mace. The instant my hand touched the shaft of the weapon, there was a jolt. I felt a vision crash over me like a wave. I saw the fight. And I described it to them. Then I pointed, in the direction they had taken.
"She almost injured Savage, but Harley blasted her with that stupid fist gun of hers, and knocked them away. She was going to smash him on her mace, possibly snap his spine." I sighed. "Damn smart of her." That last comment was intended solely for Lanterns benefit, and it worked.. He rubbed at his eyes feigning sleep, and shook his head. I took the mace from him, and clipped it to my belt.
"Let's go find her." Lantern said, and we rose into the air.
