Disclaimer: I don't own Kim or Kara or Ron. I do happen to own a computer that I write about them on, unless I write while I am at work.
AUTHORS NOTE: I feel that I need to go ahead and post the next chapter to this story now. This is to end the poor attempt at a cliffhanger. I have a hard time writing action cliffhangers, so I tried for an emotion/suspense one. I thank you that have reviewed and pointed out, indirectly or directly, how it failed. I plan to revise the previous chapter to put in transitions. Before reading this please note that in the previous chapter, no one behaved out of character. This chapter does have spoiler information on the Justice League Unlimited episode Fearful Symmetry.
"It's okay, Kara."
"I know it is okay, only my name isn't Kara."
Before Kim could do anything, she felt an impact on the back of her neck and unconsciousness envelop her. The blond stood up and held a device to her mouth.
"Fisherman one reporting. The worm is secure. Proceeding to bait the hook." With that she picked up Kim and flew through the window.
Thirty minutes later, Ron entered the apartment out of breath and struggling to get through the crowd of students and policemen. He scanned the room and Saw Batman and Kara in her Supergirl costume.
"What happened?"
"As near as we can tell, Supergirl, or someone matching her description left through that hole with Ms. Possible roughly thirty minutes ago. We beamed down as soon as we heard. We just got here ourselves," recounted Batman.
Ron looked to Kara, "It wasn't me. I was on monitor duty."
"No leads? Anything?"
"Nothing that we can tell. The door wasn't forced; there were no signs of struggle. The police's CSI team will be here shortly."
"ARRGH, think, Ron, think," his eyes lit up all of a sudden. Ron ran to his room and picked up his Kimmunicator. "Wade, I need you now."
The teen looked up into the camera, "What's up, Ron?"
"Someone's taken Kim. Is her Kimmunicator on her?"
"Nope, in her room according to read out."
"Shit. How about her tracking chip? Can you pin point it?"
"Let me check," the tech guru's fingers flew across the keyboards in front of him. "I can't get a definite lock on her, Ron. I can put the chip in a one mile radius area."
"That is good enough for a start. Feed the coordinates to my Kimmunicator, and let me know if you find anything else. Also upload the data to the Watchtower, that can give us more surveillance."
"The info is already on the way, Ron. Need me to get you a ride?"
Ron looked to Kara, who nodded. "I already have one, Wade. Thanks anyway. Ron out."
Ron looked at Batman, "If you find anything else, let us know. We're going to get Kim."
"It's probably a trap."
"I hope so, somebody is going to get hurt for this," answered the male blond, the female nodded her agreement.
Without a word Supergirl scooped up Ron and headed out the hole in the wall.
After a quick flight covering the roughly forty miles to the area that Wade had given them, the devised a search plan. Ron took to the ground while Kara probed the ground from the sky with her enhanced vision.
Soon, "Ron, I think I have found something."
"Did you find her?"
"No, but there is a complex down that I can't scan."
Ron looked up in the sky and spotted her. "Are you above it?"
"Yes, want me to 'knock'?"
"You knock, I will be right there."
As Ron ran towards her he felt the ground ripple from her strike. He saw her head back into the sky and plummet again. This time he had a hard time to remain on his feet. He topped the crater a couple of seconds later. He looked down and saw Kara had penetrated the roof and was waiting for him.
"Elevator down, Bottom floor, teen heroes in peril."
"Can the comedy, please."
"You okay, Ron?"
"No, no I am not. I have no idea who or what we are up against, except someone that looked like you and could fly, probably with super-strength."
"I think I might be able to help. Someone had cloned me. We thought the clone was destroyed, and were told that all the DNA was destroyed. What if it wasn't?"
"That would be in the bad category. Let's find Kim and get out," Ron said opening his Kimmunicator. "Wade? Can you track Kim's chip with my Kimmunicator?"
The teen popped on the screen. "I already have it configured. The signal is stronger from where you are. And lo, and behold. I have a lock on it. Follow the red arrow, and you will find her."
"Thanks, Wade, you rock. Ron, out."
"Which way?"
Ron pointed to their left and started to move. Kara followed him closely. Till they came to a steel door.
"Knock?"
Ron nodded as he stepped back, "Look first, then knock."
Kara peered through the door and saw Kim strapped to a chair in the middle of the cavernous room. "She's in there." She said as she ripped through the door and flew to Kim.
Kim's face looked as if she had been hit a few times. "It's a trap," she managed to get out.
"We know, but we had to get you out."
"WATCH OUT!" screamed out.
Kara turned just in time to be hit by someone she thought was dead. Tea bore down on her before she could recover. "I'm BACK!" yelled the clone. Kara was able to throw her as she approached.
"RON! GET KIM OUT OF HERE! I will handle little miss rip off."
As Ron got to Kim, she spoke again, "Ron, there are two of them."
Ron looked around in time to see another Supergirl flying towards them.
"See, I told you we could kill all three at once if we waited," said the new one to the one engaged in combat with Kara. "I'll take the red head and wimp, then I will help you finish her off."
"Ron, RUN!" pleaded Kim. "Save yourself!"
"NO! This is the time to fight!" countered Ron as he rushed at the other Supergirl.
As he ran at her, he started to glow.
Kim smiled as she struggled against her bonds. "Game over," she said as she smiled to herself. "Now to get out of this so I can watch the fun."
Kara and Tea were toe to toe, both staggering from the blows of the other. Both paused as the deafening sound of many pissed off monkeys.
Authors Note Part 2: I hope this clears up some confusion. Hey I have a cliffhanger in action in this one. Though I am not sure if it is a good location. Please review.
