People are screaming, running, and others were injured, and worse. What the hell is this supposed to be? Green beams of heated plasma fueled by kryptonite are seen everywhere, attacking the buildings and people are getting caught in the crossfire of all this bullshit.
Ethan is on the offensive. Taking down the metallos as fast as he can. A few managed to hit him with their weapon but he programmed his shields to take the brunt of most of the damage. How many of these things were made? How many people were taken? How many died just to become a weapon?
This is sick.
Supergirl was charged with getting civvies out of harms way while Alex, J'onn, and himself destroy this cyborg armada. Alex was using RPGs and grenade launchers to engage the metallos from a distance, J'onn and Ethan were up and close.
"MOMMY! MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU?"
A little girl was so scared she couldn't will herself to move. She was just screaming out for her mommy to come save her but she was nowhere to be found. Ethan sprinted at her and took her away from the battle.
He took the girl to a police station that had ambulance on stand by and they took care of the frightened child who happened to see her mother well and fine. Before the Spartan could rush back the mother yelled out.
"Thank you, sir!" She says.
"You're gratitude is unnecessary, ma'am. Just doing my job." He said before going back to the fight.
They were keeping them at bay until they all stopped. They simply just backed up and stood straight while one metallo walked up to them and thankfully not attacking anyone. It's eyes glowed before casting them down and presenting a hologram.
The hologram showed a woman in a business attire, middle aged, and carried herself in a way that yells I will make your world afuckingsunder.
"That's Lillian Luther, lieutenant!" The Martian said to him.
"what does she want?" Ethan asked.
"The same thing she always want. Supergirl. To use her DNA to destroy anyone who gets in their path then kill her and her family." The DEO director says.
This came to Ethan as annoying more so than shock. It's stupid. I mean why do so?.
The image started to speak.
"I don't know who you are, stranger, but you best heed this warning. Step aside, bring me Supergirl and I'll let you live. Get in my way and I'll end you. What's your choice?" Lillian said to him.
Ethan walked up to the hologram of the endear Luther to give an answer but his answer is what shocked everyone through the comms.
"Fuck you, dead woman and your son!" He said to her right before he shot the metallo in the head and power source.
Simultaneously the kryptonite fused androids started attacking the Spartan and Martian. Supergirl is attacking from a distance while airborne using her heat vision to take down their assailants. it went on for almost an hour before only half of the metallos were left and they were still coming towards them.
"These things keep coming, Martian. We need some kind of backup to help put these down permanently." Ethan said.
J'onn had a lightbulb moment and knew who to call. It turns out that Supergirl had the same thought as well.
"I have just the person in mind. Alex, we need Barry, can you call him?" Kara said.
Alex did just that and about five seconds later a red blur zipping around and the seasoned Spartan thought that it was another enemy because he had successfully punched Flash in the face. J'onn had to tell him that he was a friendly and that he was here to help.
"We need lots of electricity to put these things down. You have that ability, so aim for the kryptonite in their chests. We'll distract them." The Spartan said.
Barry nodded after quickly recovering from both the punch and shock, and proceeded to gain the electricity while running. J'onn, Alex, Kara, and Ethan did their best on their end and damn were they doing a good job. Suddenly, what appears to be lightning came down like hell striking all the walking dead machines down.
The blast was so powerful that it hit Ethan in the visor causing it to shatter it.
After it was all said and done, everything was quiet and calm. Well, calm wouldn't be the word to use but nonetheless.
"Ok, one what the heck are these things and two who is that guy? Supergirl?" Flash asked her.
Kara said that his name (code name) is Six and that he was on their side. As for the mechs, he was told they were once people now turned into machines with kryptonite used as weapons.
Barry accepted the answer.
"Ok, ok. I'm glad to help but I have another emergency going, so I'll see you guys around."
Without another word Barry Allen superspeeds towards his city.
Six recovered from the blast just in time to see Kara and Alex waking to him. Kara took hold of his helmet to see the damage. Seeing that he's fine on the outside she has to check the inside.
"You with us?" Kara asked.
Ethan didn't respond at first. Just tried to cover the glass shattered hole in his visor. Why is it always the visor?
"no, no , I'm where but... is... where?" Ethan said with confusion.
Alex seemed to recognize that he was somewhere else mentally. She's seen that in her men before. Herself included after she believed that Kara had died at one point. She was ready to end it all.
"You're on earth. You're with Kara and the rest of our family in National City. Do you recognize us?" She said in almost a whisper.
Ethan took a moment and Kara wanted to hug him but couldn't. The Redheaded soldier nodded before looking around.
"Yeah, yeah I do. We need to burn the bodies... nothing would be salvage if we do."
He had a point and they all agreed. While police cruises and ambulances were about with the citizens, Ethan and Alex were preparing the metallos carcasses to be burned but Alex had a question.
"Did you really mean that you'll kill Lillian and lex Luther?" The senior agent said.
The taller of the two turned his head to her before speaking. He weighed his words carefully upon what he wanted to say and having a mental battle with himself he said.
"If we can't apprehend them without any of them finding ways to get out of prison once apprehended or trying to kill you and your family? Then yes, I will. But only then and nothing else." He spoke boldly.
As they burned the metal bodies Six had a thousand yard stare going fire reminded him of when cities were burned, glassed, and now there are people with advanced technology in earth that can torture people to death. Lex Luther is insane and even, dare say, a dumbass to think he can rule the world.
Just like his mother, Lillian.
Power power power.
It's all most people want. Just another day in solving idiotic problems.
But what about Lena's opinion on this? Can he really take her mother and brother away if things don't progressed?
Another thought for later.
After the bodies were burned to ash and nothing to salvage, Ethan and Alex went back to the DEO. Alex went ahead up to debrief on the incident in the city while he went to find Lena and Kara. He went down a hallway passed the main monitors to start with.
He heard crying at one of the doors at the far end. Sounded like Lena.
"It's okay, Lena. I'm here, shhhh, I'm here." Kara's voice is heard. "I know it was scary but I made sure you were safe." She says to her daughter figure.
'Am I cursed to end up having the ones I love die before me?!' Ethan's thoughts start to darken 'If this is some joke by God, it ain't funny and I ain't laughing!' He was about to leave but he heard the door slide open and revealed his lover standing there with Little Lena on her hip. She looked so small in her arms like that and it panged his heart to see her look so sad and scared. He'd do anything to protect this family. No matter the cost but at the same time live to see the day he can stop fighting.
"Hey, I heard your heartbeat. Are you ok, Ethan?" Kara asked.
"Yes, just clearing my head." He answered. "I'm... sorry, Lena about the big scare all this gave you."
Little Lena looked at Ethan with wide eyes as she tilted her head to the side. At the moment she doesn't understand what's going on besides the explosion happening but she does not like the sad look on her mama's boyfriend's face. Even with the hole in his visor, she could see it. She lifted her hand and touched his now uncovered face.
Rough, rigged but hold many things. Lena padded his chest plate a few times and looked at him eye to eye.
"Huwted, ou awe." She said in her toddler language.
Kara smiled at her before looking at the red head before them. Ethan just stared at them for a few seconds before he spoke.
"yes." He responded. "People had hurt me before and that's ok."
Kara looked concerned for him. Ethan just looks at Lena a little longer.
'I don't deserve this life but what am I here besides a walking fossil?' he thought 'I need adult Lena soon to talk things over about her family.'
"Mom?"
Ruby called out for her mother who was in the kitchen cooking dinner. They were still at the DEO but decided to start awhile until things blew over.
"Yes, baby? What's up?"
Ruby was scared for her Uncle Ethan today. The explosions she saw on the monitors today terrified her much like a Martian. Ruby decided that she wanted to be trained like a soldier.
"I was really worried about Uncle Wolf and Aunties Alex and Kara. I don't have my powers yet but I was thinking, you know, could... possibly train... like you and Uncle Wolf?" She finally was able to ask her mother the question.
Sam turned off the burner to the stove and moved the pot onto another side. This question shocked her but not unexpected. She turned around to look at her little one, deciding how to respond to that question.
"They... they hurt us Ruby. We never truly recovered from the augmentation operations or the war." Sam was shaking a bit but still spoke. " ONI never treated most of us kind. We were hated by a handful of people in and out our ranks. We watched our friends die when we were sent out in the field. I spend the decade and a half living and raising you so that you don't have to go through what Ethan and myself went through. That is not the life I want for anyone. Not even you." Sam was holding it together but slowly losing her mental grip.
Ruby felt guilty now.
She didn't intend to make her mother upset but at the same time Ruby herself never experienced the pain and loss like she had. To lose your friends in a war you were forced to fight in.
"While we lived on Reach we meet Kelly and Johnson. Those two technically became the closest things we had for parents." Her shaking stopped as she told this. "They helped Ethan and I with our issues when we were just a little older than you. I'll never forget what they've done for us, how they made life there just a bit easier and worth living."
Ruby never knew some of this. Knew about some parts of her mother's life but not this and it kind of worries her a bit.
"It's just in case someone tries something on me and no one is there to help." The girl stated.
Sam thought about it and decided she'll ask her brother about it and told Ruby as much.
BOOOM!
There was sudden sound outside. Sam told Ruby to stay while she goes and check it out. She got the monitor room where everyone else is it minus Cat Lena and Carter, who were in a different floor.
Sam was in her armor when she heard the boom. helmet in hand like her brother, she's ready for a fight.
"J'onn, what was that noise?" Alex asked.
J'onn activated the surveillance footage and enhanced the photo that appeared. Upon the enhancement of the photo both Sam and Ethan were shocked when they saw a pelican aircraft nose diving towards the ocean.
Supergirl was gone and flew towards the aircraft to soften the landing in the water. Once she that eat done Kara steered the pelican to shore, away from the city.
Ten minutes later Ethan and Sam showed up wearing their armor.
"How did a pelican get here?" Sam asked.
"Don't know, maybe same way you and I got here, but we don't know who's inside so stay frosty." Six said before walking to the back of the pelican.
Alex, Supergirl, Ethan, Sam, and some DEO agents were at the ready just in case the people were not friendlys. They heard footsteps for a bit until they stopped.
Suddenly the ramp started to move down to reveal the unknown occupants. When the ramp hit the ground both brother and sister were shocked to see the people inside.
"Ethan? Sammy?"
That's it. A cliffhanger HAHAHAHA.
Tell me what you think. I'm not too good in writing details so the action seems a bit fast when you read it.
But I mean it. Tell me what y'all thought about this. The next chapter will be a while.
SEE Y'ALL NEXT TIME
