Mon awoke to find that Kara was no longer in bed. Kara's room looked like a tornado had hit it with clothes flung everywhere. Getting up, Mon walked into the living room at the same time Kara dropped in as Supergirl.
"I was hoping we would awake at the same time," Mon said.
"Yeah, well, it's noon and I have a job to get to," Kara explained.
"Damn," Mon realized.
"You going to ask if you were any good last night?" Kara asked him as she quickly changed into civilian clothes.
"I don't give a shit if I was or not," Mon stared her down.
"That's my confident Insane man," Kara said pleased as she kissed him. "Gosh, it feels good to do that without breaking a guy's nose."
"How many times has that happened?" Mon wondered.
"Oh, four times so far," Kara said nonchalantly.
"Well, aren't you the Earth slut," Mon critiqued.
"What you going to do about it? You going to punish me?" Kara asked deviously.
"What would be the point?" Mon asked her.
"It could be fun. Speaking of fun, we have to be at the DEO now," Kara told him.
"Do we?" Mon doubted.
"Come on, let's kill some shit," Kara said excitedly.
At the DEO, Mon decided to make an announcement as soon as he came in. "I want you all to know that with Mxyzptlk vanquished, I am now back as Supergirl's number one suitor," he said.
"Wow, Mon, that was romantic as fuck," Kara said sarcastically and proceeded to punch him in the balls so he would fall over.
Kara then turned to the other DEO agents. "Carry on. Nothing to see here."
"You have to report to HR now," Hank said to her.
"Why would I do that? I don't even work here. I'm a volunteer," Kara said.
"Yeah, but Mon isn't," Hank revealed.
"Wait, he's actually employed here? What the fuck?" Kara asked outraged.
"He's a good negotiator," Hank said. "Now, go down to the second floor and fill out all the forms Pam gives you," he ordered.
"You better be fucking with me," Kara rolled her eyes.
"I'm dead serious," Hank said giving her his usual face.
"Oh, and you have to do a mandatory sexual harassment seminar," Alex added.
"You're fucking high if you think I'm doing any of those things," Kara refused.
"Then I'll fire Mon here," Hank threatened.
"Like I give a shit," Kara bluffed.
The two stared at each other neither budging until Winn interrupted them. "Alex, your mom is on the phone. She seems upset."
Alex took the call. "They have your father. They just took him while he was going for a walk," Eliza said freaked out.
"Oh, fuck. What did the vehicle look like?" Alex asked.
"Three black SUVs and a cargo truck," Eliza reported.
"I have vehicles matching that description heading away from Midvale," Winn said putting the satellite tracker on them.
"Too easy," Kara smirked.
By the time Kara got to them, they were already in the city, making a direct assault dangerous for any bystanders on the freeway. Kara dropped in slamming through the roof window surprising the Cadmus thugs. The SUV swerved hitting another vehicle before getting back on track again.
"Have you seen this man?" Kara asked showing them a picture of Jeremiah.
A fight ensued with gunfire inside the SUV. A man held on for dear life as he was nearly kicked out of the SUV. The driver ended up shot due to a misfire. Kara broke arms and skulls inside the SUV as they all fought to control the vehicle. The out-of-control SUV slammed into a few more vehicles creating chaos on the freeway. A Cadmus motorcyclist fired on the SUV with his machine gun.
Kara pulled the wheel so that the SUV slammed into the motorcycle. The two vehicles went for a tumble several times. The motorcycle's chain sliced off the Cadmus agent's head off while the guy hanging on outside the SUV was thrown into a highway sign splattering him all over it. Eventually, the vehicle came to a stop. Kara punched out of it and looked around for other vehicles.
"Brutal as fuck," she said amused as she saw the Cadmus bodies all about.
"Do we still have a visual on the main target?" Alex asked Winn.
"Yes, Mon is on target," Winn told her.
"Remember that we need to bring Jeremiah in alive," Alex stressed.
Mon fired energy beams on the SUV's blasting them to pieces and killing all occupants inside. He then landed on the cargo truck. A Cadmus agent in a suit and tie exited the truck cabin and got on top of the truck facing off with Mon with a Samurai sword.
"Let's do this," Mon smirked.
The Cadmus agent skillfully sliced at Mon with his sword but Mon was able to dodge every swipe with ease. "Mon, stop fucking around," Hank ordered.
"Oh, fine," Mon rolled his eyes and then immediately broke the Cadmus agent's sword. He then blasted the agent off the truck where he hit the pavement hard and was instantly run over.
Mon eyed what connected the truck to the trailer and blasted it, separating them. As Mon stayed with the trailer the truck sped off. Mon took careful aim and blasted the truck destroying it completely. Mon then ripped through the trailer's walls only to find that it was completely empty.
"Report," Hank barked.
"It's negative. This one was a decoy," Mon reported in.
"Well...shit," Hank realized.
T'Chaka of the African nation Wakanda came to the podium at the UN in front of world leaders and ambassadors. "As you know, we are an impoverished nation...," T'Chaka said and forced himself not to laugh. His son, T'Challa was in attendance and he too cracked a smile.
"And we need further foreign aid, thank you," T'Chaka said to the polite applause of the crowd.
A sudden explosion ripped through the building taking out T'Chaka and anyone near him. The DEO was aware of the situation immediately.
"Kara, get to the UN headquarters now," Alex ordered.
"Wait, I see someone familiar," Winn said as he used satellite video feed to find a man walking around aimlessly.
"That's him," Alex said seeing her father.
An explosion blasted off the DEO glass doors. A man dressed in black entered the building with a bow in his hand. Hank went to confront him but the man placed two poles on the floor that electrocuted Hank keeping him from moving or phasing. Hawkeye then fired an arrow that connected to a USB port on a computer console. The arrow began downloading all of DEO's files and sent them out wirelessly.
"You have to be kidding me," Alex said as she saw what was happening.
Hawkeye fired a few more explosive tipped arrows scattering DEO personnel. Winn ducked for cover as shrapnel went everywhere. Alex took out her pistol and fired at Hawkeye. He absorbed the hits with his bulletproof vest and then kicked the pistol out her hand. Hawkeye then kept Alex at bay while the arrow continued to download DEO files.
Alex used her martial art skills against Hawkeye but he matched her blow-for-blow. Hawkeye then slammed Alex to the floor using his bow. Once the download was complete, Hawkeye fired a TASER bow on Alex stunning her. "How? Why?" Alex stammered.
"It helps to be a badass," Hawkeye smirked and then threw her a business card.
Hawkeye then fled the scene as Hank collapsed on the floor. Black Falcon then picked Hawkeye up with his jet-pack and wings. The two took off into the air successfully achieving their mission.
Alexander Pierce, director of SHIELD, received an update from his office in DC. "We now have the DEO's list of all alien residents worldwide," his assistant told him.
"Good. Prep the carriers. No one will stop us this time," Pierce ordered.
Kara, dressed in civilian clothes, came upon Jeremiah. "Hey, buddy. You look like shit," she said.
"They tortured me...again," he said disoriented and confused.
"Don't worry. I'll kill the guys responsible for good this time," Kara promised.
"You don't understand. They're dangerous, Kara," Jeremiah told her.
"I'm dangerous," Kara corrected.
T'Challa casually walked towards them while wearing a black suit. "You killed my father. Now, prepare to die," he said vengefully.
"Oh yeah? What's your evidence?" Kara asked.
"He has a metal arm. He's the Winter Soldier," T'Challa accused.
"A lot of people have metal arms...wait, what the fuck?" Kara wondered as she saw his cyborg arm.
"It's okay, Kara. I am the Winter Soldier," Jeremiah admitted.
"Okay, what does that even mean? Like, you only go to fight during wintertime?" Kara asked confused.
"It means he's an assassin for Project Cadmus and my father's killer," T'Challa glared.
"Okay, just because he has a metal arm and he's an assassin and he works for Cadmus doesn't mean he did the bombing," Kara scoffed.
"I'm taking him in for questioning," T'Challa said.
"How about...no?" Kara refused.
"You can't refuse me," T'Challa told her and then activated the Black Panther suit around his body and clothes.
"Cute cos-play outfit. You a Batman rip-off?" Kara smirked as she shed her civilian clothes.
"Move white girl, I won't ask a second time," Black Panther warned.
"Alright, cat-man, I'm going to give you a nice bath in the Atlantic," Kara smiled and then gave Black Panther a good punch. Black Panther stood his ground blocking the punch with his arms. The kinetic energy from Kara's punch energized his suit. Black Panther then struck back with the same amount of force.
"Holy shit!" Kara said falling to her knees. She looked up and fired heat vision at him. The heat beam was simply absorbed by the suit giving it more power.
Black Panther used Kara's own energy to give her a good beating. Kara punched back but each strike was absorbed by the suit. He then took out two black metal balls and threw them at Kara. "I hope you enjoy my black balls," T'Challa said to her.
"I know that wasn't supposed to sound sexual but...," Kara smirked and then heard Taylor Swift on maximum volume.
"It's alright...I can overcome this," Kara said as she grimaced in pain.
"You cannot change from your true nature," T'Challa told her.
"Fuck!" Kara shouted clutching her ears.
Black Panther then activated synthetic Kryptonite claws on his hands. He took Kara by the neck weakening her while also cutting into her neck.
"Yield," T'Challa ordered.
A sudden kick sent Black Panther off Kara. Mon stood between Black Panther and Kara with a smug look on his face. "I will be the only one to defeat Supergirl," he told Black Panther.
"Oh, that's so sweet," Kara said regaining her strength. "His suit absorbs kinetic energy. Every time you punch him, he absorbs the energy without receiving any damage to himself," Kara told him.
"So, I can fight him without end," Mon realized.
"Yeah, go knock yourself out," Kara said to him. She then looked around for Jeremiah only to see him being taken away by SHIELD agents.
"Shit!" she realized and went after him.
Kara flew off after Jeremiah using her X-ray vision to identify which vehicle he was in. Black Falcon pursued behind her using his wings and jet-pack. "The fuck you think you can do?" Kara asked him.
"I can at least distract you," Black Falcon said and blasted her with missiles.
Kara wasn't hurt but she couldn't see through the fire and smoke. She hit the ceiling of the street above her and tumbled onto the street. A car hit her and then bent around her. Kara eyed Black Falcon and blasted his jet-pack sending him smacking into a car.
Kara then used her super-speed to run towards Jeremiah's vehicle. SHIELD agents fired machine-gun fire at her as she approached. The bullets ricocheted off her blasting out windows and tires of vehicles around her. Kara then blasted out the tire of Jeremiah's vehicle causing it to flip over and stop. Kara was immediately on the scene and punched through the window grabbing Jeremiah.
NYPD and SHIELD agents surrounded them with their weapons out. War Machine then suddenly landed and unlocked all of his weapon systems. Kara couldn't hope to block every single bullet. "Stand down," War Machine said to her.
"Mon, I need you now," Kara radioed through her earpiece.
Mon, however, had already been defeated by Black Panther several blocks away. Kara used her X-ray vision and realized Mon wouldn't be able to help. "Well...shit," she said frustrated.
"I'll be alright," Jeremiah told her.
"The fuck you will. I would let this city burn before I turn you over to them," Kara said.
"I know which is why I have to do this," Jeremiah said and then hit her with a Kryptonite beam from his robot arm.
Kara became weakened to the point where she could actually be hurt by their bullets. Before she could lose all of her power, she flew off leaving Jeremiah behind to be arrested by SHIELD.
At the DEO, Hank, Alex, and Winn scrambled to determine what had been stolen from their archives. "They now have the lists of all registered aliens on the planet," Winn reported.
"Hawkeye is SHIELD. Why would he attack us?" Alex asked.
"It's possible Cadmus has infiltrated SHIELD. It wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened," Hank said.
A pissed off Kara entered the DEO. "What's the plan now?" she asked.
"We have a tracking device on Jeremiah's arm. It will lead us to his next location," Hank said calmly.
"Did you know his robot arm has Kryptonite in it?" Kara asked angrily.
"It's another way we can track him. He leaves a radiation trail," Hank said simply.
"What's the deal with that guy's suit?" Alex asked referring to Black Panther.
"Of all the Avengers, he is the most formidable against you. The suit is made of vibranium, an exotic metal from a meteorite that hit central Africa thousands of years ago. It has allowed Wakanda to be the richest and most technologically advanced society on the planet," Hank said.
"Why do they need foreign aid then?" Alex wondered.
"They're probably just fucking with you taking advantage of your ignorance. A lot of the technology here comes from Wakanda. Why do you think I still keep this Black ass?" Hank said.
"You steal technology from Wakanda," Alex said stunned.
"Hey, fair is fair," Hank smirked. "The suit converts kinetic energy at nearly one hundred percent efficiency to potential energy and then back to kinetic energy when the wearer chooses. It can withstand all energy-based attacks. It makes the wearer virtually invincible," Hank said.
"Okay, let's not suck his dick too hard," Kara interrupted rudely. "Is vibranium magnetic?" Kara asked.
"It is, indeed," Winn said.
"Then use a magnetic field ray to poke holes in the suit. If there are holes in the suit, I can put him down," Kara said.
"I think we do have one of those," Alex recalled.
At SHIELD, Alexander Pierce viewed a hologram screen of Lillian Luthor. "Give me the list of registered aliens," she requested.
"It's being sent now," Pierce said as the list was transferred to her.
"Now all I require is Jeremiah Danvers. I want him alive," Lillian said.
"He will be taken to an airport with an armed escort," Pierce said.
"The Avengers? They'll destroy each other," Lillian assumed.
"That's the whole idea: two birds with one stone," Pierce smiled wickedly.
At the DEO, Winn noticed Jeremiah on the move from his computer. "They're headed to a county airport."
"Where are they taking him?" Alex wondered.
"Probably wherever the Luthors are," Hank said grimly. "Get a strike team ready to go and get that magnetic field ray gun."
At the airport, Tony Stark, Col. Rhodes, Sam Wilson, Wanda Maximoff, T'Challa, Clint Barton, and Vision were present to escort Jeremiah to a plane. Jeremiah's face was resigned as he slowly made his way to the plane that would take him back to Cadmus once again.
"Is this really necessary?" Tony wondered as he gave Jeremiah a sympathetic look.
"It's not for him," T'Challa told him.
"Yeah, it's for me," Kara said as she showered the plane in red light. The plane exploded as she landed. "Alright, everyone suit up," Col. Rhodes said urgently.
Tony and Col. Rhodes activated their suits, Sam extended his wings, Wanda generated a red force field around herself, T'Challa activated his Black Panther suit, Vision prepared his stone, and Clint...extended his bow.
"Can we talk this out?" Tony asked her.
"SHIELD has been compromised by Cadmus. You're delivering Jeremiah to them," Kara told them.
"Enough of your lies," T'Challa said impatiently.
"He's coming with me," Kara told them.
"We'll sort this out at his trial," Tony said.
"I wasn't asking," Kara stared them down.
"Alright, it's time to show this punk she doesn't run the world," Tony said to his side. "Let's show her how it's done."
Iron Man and War Machine put down their helmets, unlocked their weaponry, and fired everything they had at Kara. Machine gun fire, missiles, and grenades were tossed at her. The runway was filled with smoke obscuring Kara from view.
"More," Col. Rhodes called out.
The two intensified their fire on Kara stunning the rest of the group. "More!" Col. Rhodes called out.
Vision fired a yellow beam into the smoke. "MORE!" Col. Rhodes shouted.
Clint shot off explosive arrow after explosive arrow into the smoke while Sam fired twin machine guns. Finally, Tony and Col. Rhodes had to quit as their weapon systems became too hot. "Do you think we got her?" Tony asked Col. Rhodes incredulously.
Kara emerged from the smoke unharmed. She flicked off some dust off her shoulder like their attack meant nothing. "No fucking way," Col. Rhodes said amazed.
Clint shot a sticker arrow and scored a direct hit on Kara's boob. "Really, Clint?" Tony asked him.
"It did as much damage as you guys did," he shot back as Kara broke the arrow off.
"Perhaps a change in tactics," T'Challa recommended and then motioned to Wanda. Using her magical red powers, Wanda tossed cars from the parking lot complex down on Kara. Cars were thrown on top of Kara like rain as the other Avengers advanced closer.
Wanda kept it up sending an oil tanker truck at Kara creating a powerful gas fire that blew shrapnel across the runway. Kara sliced through the wreckage and emerged from the flames. Wanda then used her magic to bind Kara's arms and legs together so she couldn't move.
"Do your thing, Vision," Tony told him.
Vision looked upon the struggling Supergirl. He contemplated giving her a killing blow with the stone on his forehead. "I cannot," he said finally.
"What the fuck, Vision?" Tony asked astounded.
"I understand now. She fights to free her father, the man she loves," Vision realized.
"Because of this man, many are fatherless," Tony pointed out.
"Yeah, Vision, stop being such a pussy," Col. Rhodes called out.
"I can't hold her forever," Wanda said as she struggled to keep Kara in place.
"I lost a father today. I know how it feels, but we must put our feelings aside for justice," T'Challa said.
"I understand your point of view. I truly do but that isn't her," Vision said.
"What?" Tony demanded.
The image of Kara faded away. "Vision, you share important shit like that," Col. Rhodes said outraged.
Kara tore through the ground and backhanded Black Falcon. He went through the airport windows and hit the floor hard. Kara then gave Wanda a super-scream stunning her.
Vision grabbed a hold of Kara's arm. "I can't let you do this," he told her.
Kara punched at Vision but her fist went right through him. Iron Man and War Machine both punched Kara to the face without result. The two then jumped away and fired laser beams at her from different angles. Kara went through the laser and started busting up their suits.
"She's worse than the Hulk," Tony realized as Kara pounded on his suit.
War Machine then activated his sound amplifier on Kara irritating her. She quickly blasted it off his shoulder. War Machine then smacked Kara hard to the face with his metal baton. Kara glared at him. "Bad idea," Col. Rhodes quickly realized.
Kara ripped out Iron Man's reactor shutting him down and then punched War Machine across the runway. Vision then went toe-to-toe with Kara as they clashed at the fist. Wanda then took hold of Kara again as T'Challa advanced with green claws. Kara tensed up as T'Challa went for the kill.
A beam suddenly blasted them all to the ground. Mon appeared at Kara's side. "I am Prince Mon and I'm Insane," he said to them.
"Ahem," Kara reminded him.
"Right, I'm a Sayian, and I'm going to kick your ass," he said confidently.
"Even if you somehow managed to defeat me, Mon here is almost as strong as me. You're all fucked," Kara said to them.
"That's right. I'm a Super Saiyan," Mon grinned.
"Let's not get too full of ourselves," Kara rebuked him.
"Says the super-girl," Mon rolled his eyes. He then took aim at Wanda and fired a beam at her. Wanda defended herself with her own red beam. The two beams met in the middle but Wanda was quickly overpowered stunning her to the ground. Vision fired on Mon and the two created another beam war.
Tony regained his senses and then reached out with his arm. Pieces of his Iron Man suit rocketed towards him and started collecting on his body. "This is such bullshit," Kara said as she trashed the second suit. Tony desperately reached for another suit but was punched to the ground before the suit could be completed. Kara then fired heat vision at him, but he deflected with his man-sized shield.
Meanwhile, Alex embraced her father and helped him towards a DEO plane. T'Challa ran over to him but was stopped by Guardian. The two Black warriors clashed as Alex continued to walk Jeremiah away from the fight. "And who are you supposed to be?" T'Challa asked James.
"It's Guardian," James replied.
"You're guarding a murderer," T'Challa spat angrily.
"He's not who you think he is," Guardian told him.
T'Challa scratched Guardian's shield and got the better of the fight with his superior martial art skills. As they fought, Vision and Mon's beams exploded tossing them both to the ground. Vision emerged from the flames with his glowing yellow stone. "Supergirl had my sympathies, but I have none for you," Vision said to Mon.
J'onn then entered the battlefield tackling Vision. The two phased through each other as they had identical powers. With his suits destroyed, Tony resorted to his nano-version. Hitting his own reactor core, nano-machines quickly covered him. Tony then fired missiles from his back at Kara.
"Oh, come on," Kara said as she was hit.
Tony turned his feet into a rocket engine and slammed Kara to the chest. His feet quickly locked onto the ground, his elbows activated rockets, and his hands turned into solid blocks. Tony slammed Kara with the full force of his suit. "Yeah, no," Kara said ripping off his helmet and punching Tony to the ground. Tony planted his foot down on the ground and swung his other leg around giving Kara a solid kick to the head.
"All that for nothing," Kara said unimpressed and punched Tony to the ground and began pounding away at him. Tony fired twin lasers at her as he tried to keep her at bay. Kara grabbed his right wrist crushing his armor. A green arrow suddenly hit Kara to the neck. Kara immediately became weakened by the Kryptonite arrow. Hawkeye smirked from a distance away. Tony gave him a grateful look and then formed a blade with his left hand. He then sliced through Kara's gut and out the other side.
Kara coughed up blood devastated by the strike. With the last of her strength, she shattered Tony's blade and backed away from the fight clutching her gut. Vision got the better of J'onn stunning him with a punch to the face. "I won't kill the last son of Mars," Vision said to him.
Mon fired from above blasting Vision deep inside the ground. Mon kept it up until Vision was deep underground. Mon then blasted Tony tossing the nano-machines off of him. Tony fell to the ground wounded and unable to fight. "Stop!" Wanda said to everyone.
"I read all of their minds. SHIELD is compromised by Cadmus. We must let them go," she told them.
"Not in a position to disagree," Tony muttered.
T'Challa confronted Alex and Jeremiah as the plane got ready for take-off. "Get inside the plane, dad," Alex ordered him. He reluctantly nodded and did so.
"I will not allow you to escape," T'Challa told them. A squad of DEO agents blocked T'Challa's path. Like a badass, T'Challa beat them down one-by-one deflecting their bullets and not even dodging their TASER batons.
Alex then activated the magnetic field ray gun. T'Challa's suit suddenly fluctuated creating holes all over his body. Realizing he needed to act quickly, T'Challa charged Alex. "I'm so sorry," Alex said taking out her pistol. She aimed carefully as holes appeared and reappeared on his suit. As T'Challa came closer, Alex fired at him. Each bullet bounced off his fluctuating suit.
"Come on, damn it," Alex said as she fired her last bullet. The bullet went through a hole in the suit, broke a rib, and punctured T'Challa's lung.
He fell to the floor devastated. "Forgive me, father," he said as he collapsed.
Alex turned away from T'Challa and got into the plane. The small propeller plane took off into the air but War Machine was close behind ready to shoot it down. Mon pointed his finger at War Machine and fired. The beam sliced into his reactor disabling him. War Machine lost power and plummeted to the ground.
Black Falcon raced to get there in time, but he wasn't going to make it. "Don't let him die," Kara ordered Mon as she collapsed.
Mon put two fingers to his forehead and grabbed War Machine before he could hit the ground. Tony sighed relieved. He crawled his way over to Kara and used what remained of his suit to put a gel seal on Kara's wound. "Not bad...for a human," Kara muttered and then fainted.
Alex smiled at her father as she flew the plane across the countryside. "We're finally free," she said.
Jeremiah nodded and then smacked her hard enough to the head to knock her out. Jeremiah then took control of the plane and piloted it towards a Cadmus base. Taking his robot arm off, he threw it out the window and then lowered the plane below radar detection.
Lillian watched as the plane landed at the Cadmus base. Cadmus security forces swarmed the plane and took Alex away. Lillian and Cyborg Superman approached Jeremiah. "I lost Metallo but at least I have you back," Lillian smiled.
Jeremiah said nothing in reply. "We killed two birds with one stone. Now, nothing can stop us," Lillian said pleased. "Now, get to work," she ordered Jeremiah.
Jeremiah stared blankly and followed Cyborg Superman back to his station. Alexander Pierce joined Lillian with a glass of champagne. "Soon, the alien menace will be over," he said to her.
"Hail Cadmus," Lillian grinned victoriously as three helicarriers took flight using four giant turbines to get them into the sky. The three massive aircraft carrier sized ships then cloaked themselves. Using satellites and the list, the three helicarriers identified thousands of alien targets across the country.
