Kara and Alex clinked bottles at the alien gay bar. James and Winn arrived a little later with James seriously spooked by the weirdos he was encountering. "You know, for a place that caters to aliens, they have some pretty good chicken wings," Winn said eating one.

Kara lowered her glasses. "That's not chicken."

Winn nearly gagged as his imagination got the better of him. Kara overheard news about violence on the TV about the Guardian. "You two have fun last night?" Kara asked knowingly.

"Fun? Me? Never," Winn said awkwardly.

"If you can call Catco business fun," James rolled his eyes.

Alex looked at the TV not connecting the dots. "How come you haven't exposed the Guardian yet? What about X-Ray vision: It's a bitch?" she asked mockingly.

"His suit is made out of lead," Kara said obviously.

"He's like the black version of Captain America," Alex said.

"I was thinking more like Blade or Black Panther," James said proudly.

"He seems to know when a crime is committed as its happening. He must have help," Alex figured.

"Yeah, probably some short nerd IT type guy," Kara smiled at Winn.

"I would imagine if there was a partner he would just be as formidable as the Guardian," Winn said defensively.

"Bullshit," James coughed.

"Danvers?" Maggie called over.

Kara pointed to herself as if it could be her. Maggie rolled her eyes at her. "I'll be right back to talk to my cop friend," Alex said leaving the table.

Once they were out of earshot, Kara turned to James and Winn. "Nice work, you two," Kara complimented.

"Wait...what?" Winn wondered.

"She knows," James said.

"How could you tell her?" Winn said stunned. "That suit was expensive to make."

"I bet," Kara smirked. "I overheard your radio communications. I recommend a visor with text on the screen."

"I want them to see my eyes when I kick their ass," James rejected.

"Fair enough," Kara shrugged.

"So, you're not going to turn us in?" Winn asked nervously.

"Not unless you get me another beer," Kara told him.

Winn rushed over to the bar leaving James and Kara behind. "How's Mon?" James asked.

"He's a handful, but he's the only one that has ever challenged me physically," Kara said.

"Oh, fuck me, right?" James smiled.

"You jealous?" Kara asked.

"Ever since I became CEO of Catco, I have had women throw themselves at me. I'm fine, believe me," James said.

"You taking advantage of that power?" Kara asked curiously.

"I don't have time with all the ass-kicking I have been doing in Metropolis," James admitted.

"Put a mattress in that van," Kara told him.

"Will do," James smiled.

Alex brought Maggie over to the table. "This is Detective Maggie Sawyer," Alex introduced.

"Hey, Maggie," Kara, James, and a returning Winn all said in unison.

"You must be the sister. Alex has told me everything about you," Maggie said to Kara.

"I sure hope not," Kara smiled.

"Okay...Alex, can I talk to you?" Maggie asked pulling Alex aside.

"You listening in?" Winn asked.

"Of course," Kara said obviously.

"So, what are they saying?" Winn asked curiously.

"Alex is getting dumped again. It's a tragic story," Kara said fighting not to laugh.

"That girl has no game with either gender," James shook his head.

"I was thinking to maybe give her some pointers," Kara said thoughtfully.

"But you two are sisters," Winn said confused.

"We're not blood-related," Kara excused.

"I didn't know you were Bi," James said intrigued.

"Oh, I don't follow that bullshit dichotomy. On Krypton, sex was forbidden as heresy, so I kind of went overboard once I got to Earth," Kara admitted.

"So, you can choose who you like?" Winn wondered.

"Yeah, because I'm a superior being," Kara said arrogantly.

"You never volunteered to do it with a woman with me watching," James said hurt.

"You didn't ask," Kara excused.

Alex rejoined the table oblivious to the table discussion. "Where's Mon? Doesn't he practically live here?" she asked.

"He should be here soon," Kara said.

Mon then entered the bar wearing his black leather outfit. Some biker guys came up to him and surrounded him. "Nice outfit. Give me your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle," the leader ordered.

"You didn't say please," Mon replied back.

What followed was an old-fashioned bar fight as people were thrown about. "He could kill someone," Alex said concerned.

"And?" Kara asked.

Mon was a straight savage to the biker gang and then went to the bar. "Give me your best," he said to M'gann.

She handed him a bottle. "I'm not paying for this," he said and then walked over to the group and placed the bottle on the table.

"Having fun?" Kara asked him.

"Everyone on this planet is pathetically weak," Mon said disgustedly.

"Except me of course," Kara corrected.

"This will end that. It's so powerful that it will dull all of your abilities. I made it myself," Mon said proudly.

"Let's just see about that," Kara said impulsively and drank the entire bottle.

Kara immediately felt the effects. Her vision was blurred and she had trouble focusing. "I challenge you," Mon said putting his arm on the table.

"Alright," Kara said and began arm wrestling him.

At first, Mon couldn't budge her arm but to the amazement of the others, he eventually succeeded in overpowering Kara. "Wow, that stuff is strong," Winn commented.

Mon got another bottle and drank one down as well. Within short order, the two were so intoxicated that they couldn't even sit properly. "How long does this last?" Kara asked slurring her words.

"I don't know. A week," Mon figured.

"Holy shit. What if we need you two," Alex scolded.

"The Guardian can step in," James said seriously.

"I was being serious," Alex glared.

"Oh, burn," Kara said falling off her chair.

Alex helped Kara back to her feet. "I'm alright," Kara assured her.

"I'm taking you home," Alex said disgustedly.

"We're good," Kara insisted.

"Hey, no drinking and flying," Winn said to them both.

"Fuck the law," Mon muttered.

"I taught him that," Kara said pleased with herself.

"Alright, we're heading out," James said to them.

Kara and Mon continued drinking as M'gann looked on. She texted a mysterious number as Kara and Mon continued to arm wrestle like total drunks. "Let's go back to our place," Kara invited.

"I can't fly," Mon admitted.

"I can't either," Kara smiled.

The two drunks stumbled and swayed as they got lost in Metropolis. A white van suddenly came up to them and stunned them with a TASER. The two were thrown into the van and taken away.

The next morning, James strolled into Catco like he owned the place. "What's your rush?" he asked as a woman bumped into him.

"It's the Guardian," she said freaked out.

"Oh yeah, who did he save this time?" James asked.

"Save? He murdered someone," she corrected and ran off.

"Damn," James said unsettled.

James walked up to Snapper for answers. "What's the deal with the Guardian?"

"A surveillance video was captured last night," Snapper showing James the video.

"How do we know the Guardian killed that guy. We don't have a positive ID. We don't even see the Guardian stringing him up in the first place. All we have is his arm," James said unimpressed.

Snapper looked at the video again. "Well, fuck me, you're right. Oh well, going to run the story anyway."

"Why?" James demanded.

"Our magazine is hostile to superheroes. This is gold," Snapper said obviously.

"What about the truth?" James asked dumbfounded.

"That really isn't our thing," Snapper reminded him.

"Is it because he's Black?" James asking pulling out the race card.

Snapper smiled amused. "You're best pals with Superman. You have confirmation bias in favor of superheroes. This magazine does everything possible to bring these freaks down to Earth. Or...are you going to change long-standing policy?"

"No," James backed down realizing the board would eat him alive.

Lillian Luthor looked upon Mon and Kara with disgust as they sat drunk in metal cages. "Who's the blond?" she asked her security chief.

"Her ID says Linda Lane," the security chief said.

"Obviously fake. You think you can use the letter "L" better than me?" she asked Kara.

"L words are my favorite when playing scrabble," Kara smirked.

"Here's a word for you: Cadmus. Do you know what it means? He was the very first Greek hero. He killed monsters," she said.

"Already bored," Kara yawned. She then looked over at Mon who was completely passed out. "Really, dude?" she said unimpressed.

"You appear to be intoxicated to the point of helplessness. This cage is the toughest substance on Earth. Even you cannot get out," Lillian said.

"Oh really? How about the floor? Looks like normal concrete to me," Kara judged.

Lillian simply stared at Kara realizing her mistake. Kara spun around in her cell stripping off her civilian clothes and drilled a hole through the floor. Kara dropped to the floor below and nearly lost her footing. She then saw Hank staring at her from the stairwell.

"J'onn? What are you doing here?" she wondered as her vision was still blurry.

"The real question is why are you here," Hank replied.

"Well, I got kidnapped and stuff...wait, you mean why I'm on this planet?" Kara realized.

"I should have locked you up in the laboratory when I had the chance," Hank said.

"Yeah, you traded me for Jeremiah. I'm blond and even I know that was retarded," Kara smiled realizing who Hank was. "So, you survived. Kudos."

"Yes, I survived but that thing from Mars stole my life. It took everything from me," he said resentfully.

"Dude, you could have come back at any time. The government was totally willing to dump J'onn's ass once they found out he was an alien," Kara said.

"As soon as I was fixed, you had already joined the DEO. I knew you would kill me as soon as I replaced that Martian impostor," Hank said.

"Well, finally some respect," Kara agreed.

"But Cadmus saved me. When I ran the DEO, I hunted down aliens. Now, Cadmus has inherited that glorious purpose. To end alien life on this planet," Hank said.

"I guess you haven't been following current events but since I've joined the DEO, I have killed hundreds of aliens. No one has killed more aliens than me. I am a fucking boss. What has Cadmus done? You're all talk," Kara said to him.

"You will never kill your alien friends, your cousin, and yourself," Hank said obviously.

"You will never be able to kill every alien on this planet. I'm your best bet. Every day that you waste my time is a day I'm not killing fools," Kara told him.

"Quality over quantity," Hank said to her.

"Well, you got that right," Kara agreed. "Look, I am invincible, invulnerable, and indestructible so work with me rather than against me."

"You seriously offering me friendship?" Hank asked.

"Oh no, I've been fucking with you. I'm going to kill your ass right here and now," Kara grinned. "Then I am going to mail your head to J'onn."

"You're overestimating yourself," Hank said fiercely.

"Do I? Jeremiah joined you on the false assumption he was keeping me safe. The truth is that I should have killed your ass as soon as you entered our house. I am going to correct that today," Kara said and then fired heat vision at Hank's head dropping him.

"You have no idea how therapeutic that was," Kara said amused.

Hank then got back up and revealed his cyborg eye where Kara had beamed him. "What the fuck?" Kara mouthed.

"I am Cyborg Superman," Hank revealed.

"That would be intimidating if you were even close in power to him," Kara smirked.

Kara cocked her fist and punched Hank to the head expecting to take it out completely. Hank's head swung to the side, but he remained steady. He then punched Kara a few times stunning her. Kara then got her ass handed to her as Hank threw her into walls, down the stairs, and through pillars.

"Wow, now I know what it felt to be your ex-wife," Kara said dumbfounded.

Hank angrily kicked her across the floor ripping up floorboards.

At the DEO, Alex asked Winn about Kara's status. "Where's Kara?" she asked.

"Last time I saw her, she was at the bar," Winn said just as confused. "Did you check out Catco?"

"Yes, I called James. She's not there," Alex said.

"On an unrelated note, you need to get your friend to lay off Guardian," Winn said.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Because, you know, vigilantism is tight," Winn said.

"He murders criminals," Alex objected.

"How is that any different than what we do?" Winn asked.

"We have government sanction. That makes it okay," Alex said obviously.

"There are philosophers that would disagree with that," Winn said skeptically.

"I don't give a shit. I'm adding the Guardian to our kill list," Alex said as she typed Guardian on her Ipad.

"You can't do that," Winn objected.

Alex grabbed Winn and pinned him against the wall. "I know six very painful ways to get you to tell me who the Guardian is using my index finger and they all involve shoving it up your ass," Alex threatened.

"It's James," Winn confessed instantly.

"I'm not in the mood for jokes," Alex said angrily.

"It's true. I used government resources to build his suit, I hacked into surveillance systems, and I monitored his activities in the government van that the DEO gave me," Winn spilled his guts.

Alex shook her head in disappointment. "You're lucky Kara hasn't killed him yet."

"She knows," Winn added.

"So, I'm the only one that doesn't know? Am I not cool enough for your group?" Alex asked offended.

"Well...," Winn said awkwardly.

"Don't answer that," Alex interrupted. "I'll deal with you both later," Alex said smacking Winn to the back of the head.

Kara awoke back in her cage. "I have the worse headache," she said not even able to stand.

"The drink makes you even drunker over time before you sober up a few days later," Mon said.

"It would have been nice to know that before," Kara frowned. She went over to the cage bars and tried to bend them without success.

"Those bars are made from metal from Thanagar. In my weakened condition, I can't break them," Mon admitted.

"I could go Prime but then it would kill you," Kara said thoughtfully.

"Go ahead and do it. Save yourself," Mon said depressed.

"How noble but no," Kara said to him.

"I deserve this fate. I extinguished life on so many planets," Mon said reflectively.

"You had no choice. You were trying to protect your own world," Kara excused.

"Well, some of those planets I wasn't assigned to destroy. I just did it anyway...you know...for fun," Mon admitted.

"Oh really? Tell me more," Kara said suddenly interested.

"Do you know how I landed in a Kryptonian pod?" Mon asked.

Kara froze at that. "I didn't bother to ask about that," she admitted.

"I destroyed a Kryptonian colony world and stole one of their last pods. It was programmed to come here," Mon revealed.

Kara stared at Mon. "I killed men, women, and children. I slaughtered them like animals. The last of your kind," Mon said.

"I was going to do the same to this world and then sell it," Mon continued.

"We all get angry," Kara excused.

"I wasn't angry. I was laughing the whole time," Mon said.

"Mon, you're drunk," Kara said.

"That doesn't make it untrue," Mon muttered sadly. "My race should go extinct."

"We're both flawed people but why doom generations of descendants from never existing? That is why every life is sacred because it's not just about the life in question but every descendant that life-form will have that will someday outnumber all the stars in the sky. When you kill a life, you wipe out the existence of all those descendants that could have been," Kara told him.

"We have to live for them?" Mon wondered.

"Exactly," Kara said.

Lillian Luthor entered the room and found both Kara and Mon still in their cages. "I don't like the idea of you around my daughter," she said protectively.

"It's not like that...or is it?" Kara chuckled and then snorted at her own wit.

"I'm a doctor, a patriot, a mother," Lillian listed off.

"Oh yeah? No one is more patriotic than me," Kara said.

"You make us complacent," Lillian argued.

"Well, fuck, why don't we all just do nothing and make everyone struggle just to survive?" Kara rolled her eyes.

"What are you to my daughter?" Lillian questioned.

"A friend...with benefits," Kara laughed drunkenly.

"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you," Lillian said pissed off.

"So am I, and I'm failing, and I'm sorry," Kara apologized.

"Superman is propaganda, his power unchecked, and my son Lex tried to take that power back," Lillian said angrily.

"Well, I recall it a little differently. I recall Lex making a bitch move by kidnapping Superman's mother, doing weird experiments with Zod's body, creating a Doomsday monster, and then screaming like a little girl when Batman shoved a branding iron up his ass," Kara smirked.

"Does that amount to a life sentence?" Lillian questioned rhetorically.

"Err...yeah," Kara said.

"Because you and your kind will stop at nothing to poison the Earth," Lillian accused.

"You give me too much credit, lady. I don't really give a shit about changing the world," Kara said. "You should put Superman in this cage, not me."

"As it happens, I need something from you. I need you to be human for a little while. I know from your fight with Red Tornado when you expel enough of your heat vision, you deplete the solar radiation in your cells, leaving you as helpless as any mere mortal. I've designed this helmet to absorb the radiation," Lillian said.

"Let's do this," Kara said not intimidated.

Lillian opened the cage with Hank by her side as a bodyguard. Lillian placed the helmet over her head which forced her to emit heat vision into it. Kara was drained of her power and fell to the floor greatly weakened. "Just because I had a few dozen drinks," Kara groaned and then threw up all over the floor.

"Take her," Lillian ordered her men.

Kara was taken down a few hallways until she was in a medical facility. She was then strapped down. Lillian took out a needle and took some of Kara's blood. "What you going to use that for?" Kara wondered.

Kara was thrown back into the cage. "Are you okay?" Mon asked concernedly.

"You don't ask a fellow warrior that," Kara muttered.

"You look like shit," he corrected himself.

"That's better," Kara allowed. "If I don't make it out of here, tell Maggie Sawyer...I hate her."

"Will do," Mon agreed.

"Alright, let's stop fucking around. Get us out of here," Kara ordered.

"Very well," Mon said and grabbed her hand. He put two fingers to his forehead and focused. Nothing happened. "I'm still too wasted."

"Well...shit," Kara muttered.

The cage then suddenly opened by a hooded figure. "You son-of-a-bitch!" Kara said embracing him.

"We have to move," Jeremiah said unlocking Mon's cage.

Jeremiah, Kara, and Mon made their way through the halls towards the exit. "I'm so sorry for my swearing, drinking, whoring, thieving, and killing in that order," Kara said to him.

"Remember, all sins are equal before God," Jeremiah reminded her.

"But I've committed a lot of sins, like a shit-load," Kara said.

"When you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you were saved and nothing you do afterward is going to affect that," Jeremiah said.

"What religion is this? I want in," Mon said brightly.

Jeremiah opened the door to allow them to escape. "Now, go!" he said.

"I love you," Kara said giving him a hug. "Forgive me," she said tapping the back of his head. Jeremiah fell to the floor in a heap.

Cadmus soldiers came in with rifles aimed at them. "You got anything?" Kara asked Mon.

"Yeah, I got this," Mon said forming a disc in his hand the size of a pizza. He threw it down the hall splitting the men in half at the waist.

"Good job," Kara said appreciatively. "Now, help me carry his fat ass."

The two got to the surface and were surrounded by a large military force consisting of attack helicopters, tanks, armored trucks, and a company of infantrymen with rifles ready. "Well...shit," Kara said exhausted.

At the DEO, Hank placed M'gann in a prison cell after kicking her ass. "Thank you for sparing my life," she said sincerely.

"I'm only keeping you alive so Kara can fry you every day with her heat vision," Hank said angrily.

"You're a sick fuck, you know that?" she spat at him. "Back in those camps, some of the scientists experimented on the Green Martians. They found a way to transform them into White Martians with blood transfusions. Some of the White Martians you've been killing were once your own kind," M'gann revealed.

"Is there a cure?" Hank asked.

"No," M'gann said flatly.

"Then I don't give a fuck," Hank said and walked off.

Alex came forward from the DEO paramilitary force and ran over to Kara. "Cadmus is down below," Kara said weakly.

"What did they do to you?" Alex asked concerned.

"Oh, I did this to myself," Kara hiccuped. "Oh, by the way, this belongs to you," Kara said revealing Jeremiah's unconscious body.

"Dad!" Alex cried out embracing him. "Get me a medic," Alex radioed.

"How did they know to find us?" Mon asked Kara.

"I have a homing beacon on my body that tells the DEO my location at all times," Kara said.

"Where?" Mon wondered.

"You don't want to know," Kara smiled.

After a long brutal fight, Guardian and vigilante murderer Karnowsky were on the floor barely able to move among a field of gasoline barrels. A dark figure suddenly landed and calmly walked up to them. "Looks like comic-con came early," he said gruffly.

Karnowsky stared at death incarnate with fear in his eyes. "What makes you different than us? Why can you beat and kill criminals, but we can't?"

"Because I'm not wearing a paintball mask," the Dark Knight replied.

Karnowsky was frozen in fear as Batman grabbed him and threw him next to a tied up murderer that had been let go on a technicality. Batman then threw a small bomb device on Karnowsky's chest. Guardian leaped away as the bomb exploded the whole area killing both Karnowsky and his prisoner.

Batman then advanced on Guardian who attempted to crawl away. "I thought you were a red-haired step-child?" Batman said confused.

"Things change," James said with his helmet off. "I thought you didn't kill."

Batman paused to answer. "Things change," he said with a psychotic grin on his face.

Cops arrived at the scene as the fire continued to spread. Maggie got out of her car with her gun ready. Batman approached the cops as Guardian made his escape. Maggie stared at Batman with trembling fear unable to even raise her weapon against him.

"Nothing to see here," Batman told her as he passed.

Kara and Mon were watching TV when Alex, James, and Winn came in with pizza and potstickers. "They're cold," Alex to the potstickers.

Kara rolled her eyes in annoyance and put them in the microwave. "So, your powers aren't back yet?" Alex assumed.

"You just had to rub it in," Kara said annoyed as she took the potstickers out and proceeded to inhale them.

"Dad is under observation at the DEO until we know his full condition. He's under total lockdown. I'm not losing him again," Alex said.

"Guardian has been cleared of all murder charges. He's still guilty as fuck for dozens of assault and destruction of property charges though," the anchorman said on the TV.

"So, you got the real killer, huh? How was that?" Kara asked James.

"I saw death itself," James said somberly.

"Him again," Kara nodded sympathetically.

"When do you think the Guardian will reveal himself?" Alex asked knowingly.

"Never," James replied.

Alex, James, and Winn then left the apartment leaving Kara and Mon to wait out their intoxication. "Ha! You're the only one that doesn't know the Guardian's secret identity," Kara said to him.

"Good thing I don't give a shit," Mon replied and clinked beer bottles with her.

Fortress of Solitude

The real Hank Henshaw approached a control panel in the Fortress of Solitude. Kelex immediately noticed the intruder. "Unknown life form detected," he said annoyingly. "Halt or you will be disintegrated."

"Bitch, please," Hank said not intimidated in the least.

Hank then poured some of Kara's blood on the control panel unlocking it. "Kara Zor-El, you appear to be drunk as fuck," the computer judged from the sample.

"So...how can I help you?" the computer asked.

"Tell me everything you know about Project Medusa," Hank ordered.
