Moscow, PATRIOT
Alina was dressed in her Russian army uniform as she brought Ben Lockwood to the PATRIOT underground facility. "So, are you an alien, too?" Ben asked terrified of Alina.
"No, one hundred percent Russian born," she answered.
Alina took Ben to Nikolai. "This is Ben Lockwood also known as Agent Liberty and leader of the Children of Liberty in America," Alina introduced.
"Please to meet you," Nikolai smiled.
"Where is my family?" Ben demanded.
Nikolia gestured for his men to bring them out. Lydia and Georgie came out and embraced Ben. "It's been so long," Ben said as he hugged them both.
Alina and Nikolai couldn't help but smile at the tender moment. "Mr. Lockwood, we need your undivided attention," Alina said finally.
"Go with them. You will be safe," Ben promised them both.
PATRIOT men took Lydia and Georgie away out of the hall. "They will remain safe and comfortable as long as you cooperate with us, fully," Nikolai said to Ben.
"What do you want me to do?" Ben asked confused.
"For you to continue the work you started in America," Nikolai said vaguely.
"You hate aliens, too?" Ben wondered.
"On the contrary," Kara said approaching Ben.
"You're dead," Ben said as if he had seen a ghost.
"Sorry to disappoint," Kara smirked.
"There are two Supergirls, a Russian one and an American one," Ben realized.
"You didn't think your movement didn't have International ramifications? Even if you managed to turn America against aliens, did you think we would do the same? That China, Japan, and the European Union would do the same? You've merely sent the flow of alien refugees to us," Nikolai smiled.
"You can't do this. We all have to work to stop them from coming here," Ben protested.
"We're half America's population yet have only one-tenth their economy. Our defense budget is only one-tenth that of America. We are falling behind. We need something that will help close the gap between us and the West. Unlike America, we're not squeamish about disappearing criminal aliens that cross us," Nikolai said.
"That's for sure," Kara smiled.
"Do you know what she is capable of? She could destroy us all," Ben said of Kara.
"Finally some respect," Kara said amused. "Your little games with my daughter so far have been amusing but that's all they've been. Even if you somehow defeated her, you have her brother to contend with. Even if you managed to defeat them both, you still have me," Kara said to Ben.
"I see," Ben realized.
"And my power is infinite," Kara told him.
"Everything I did...was totally pointless," Ben said stunned.
"Not pointless. You showed us America's true colors. You showed us their xenophobia, bigotry, and blatant racism. You brought the Democrats back in power in congress and compromised the president," Alina said to him.
"I thought Trump was on your side," Ben said confused.
"The only side we're on is Russia's side," Alina corrected.
Metropolis, USA
Mara and James discussed Ben Lockwood's escape. "None of the guards remembered what happened, all the security footage is gone, and no forensic evidence was left behind. It's the perfect crime," James remarked as he read the article.
"This is beyond the capabilities of the Children of Liberty. His wife and son are also missing," Mara considered.
"Maybe it was a hit by an alien, looking for revenge," James said thoughtfully.
CNN then went to Breaking News. "We have unconfirmed reports that Ben Lockwood and his family have been kidnapped in an alien attack. Ben Lockwood was the leader of the Children of Liberty calling himself Agent Liberty. We'll give you more details as they come in," Wolf Blitzer said blandly.
"Oh, shit," James realized.
"Fake news," Mara said dismissively.
"Fake or not, this is going to cause a panic," James pointed out.
Asian reporter Takanawa entered the office with a new report. "This came from a medical student at MU. He found an L Corp. subsidiary," she said showing James her phone.
"I know you said my source for that last article was wrong," Takanawa said.
"Oh really?" Mara doubted looking directly at her.
"But maybe we should take a second look," Takanawa suggested.
"Sure, why not?" James said having no intention of printing it.
Takanawa then left the office. "I wonder who this source is," James said looking at Mara suspiciously.
"Nia and I will be taking a field trip. I need an alibi," Mara said changing the subject.
"Got you," James nodded.
Brainiac 5 then approached Nia wearing a "Don't Hassle Me, I'm Local" t-shirt. "Is that supposed to be a joke?" Nia asked of his t-shirt.
"No, but your server security is," Brainiac 5 said as he inputted his finger into the USB drive of Nia's computer and downloaded everything on the Catco server.
A few seconds later, Brainiac 5 was done. "Okay, we can go. Supergirl will meet us there," Brainiac 5 said to her.
"So, how are we getting there?" Nia asked Brainiac 5 as they entered the elevator.
"Flying," Brainiac 5 smirked as he put his black sunglasses on.
Fortress of Solitude
At the fortress of Solitude, Supergirl greeted Brainiac 5 and Nia. The fortress had been recently repaired from previous damage. Instead of large statues of Jor-El and Laura-El, there were now statues of Supergirl and Mon-El. "Welcome to the Fortress of Solitude," Mara said to them both.
"Pleasure as always," Brainiac 5 kissed Mara's hand.
"Looks great but was it really necessary to come all this way for this?" Nia wondered.
"Yes, yes it was," Mara insisted. "This is my droid, Kelex."
"I did not know we would be receiving guests," Kelex said as he arrived.
"You have a robot," Nia said amazed.
"Two if you count Brainiac 5," Mara joked.
"I am always at your disposal, Supergirl," Brainiac 5 said with false sincerity.
"Train her...but don't kill her or injure her," Mara said to Brainiac 5.
"I'll try. She's so fragile," Brainiac 5 said as he advanced on Nia.
Metropolis, USA
Hank came to visit Manchester Black in prison. "It's been weeks but now you want to see me?" Hank wondered.
"Let's just say prison has changed me," Black replied.
"Converted to Islam? Decided to go gay?" Hank figured.
"Nah, man, I was already into that before I got here," Black said. "So, be honest. What do you think of the hair?"
"It looks like you've gone full-blown prison bitch," Hank said honestly. "Let me help straighten you out."
"You think that deep down I'm good?" Black asked.
"Oh, hell no. You're rotten to the core," Hank smiled.
"It's a bad time to be a good man," Black said knowingly.
"Don't I know it," Hank agreed.
"With your power, you could telepathically control every mind on the planet. You just need motivation," Black said to Hank.
"I'm here to talk about your shit. Not mine," Hank corrected him.
The guard behind Hank then fired a TASER rifle at Hank stunning him and sending him to the floor. "This is Hat. We go way back," Black explained.
"Hello," Hat said to Hank.
"Stupid name, stupid gimmick," Hank said painfully.
"I was thinking small. I just wanted to get Lockwood. Now, I want to murder a whole lot of other people," Black said to Hank. "And you can't stop me, old man."
"I am so proud of you," Hank said sincerely.
"Thanks, Dad," Black smiled and then left with Hat.
"Let's get out of here," Black said to Hat as they walked down the prison halls.
"I can't go anywhere I haven't been before," Hat reminded him.
Several guards then rushed them. "Give me something," Black demanded quickly.
Hat pulled out a Tommy gun. "Perfect," Black said and then fired on the guards dropping them all. Hat then threw his hat at another guard knocking him out.
"That hat is...ridiculous," Black remarked.
"Don't be hating on my hat," Hat said seriously.
The two of them strolled out of the prison with Black retrieving his Blade costume. Supergirl then dropped down to block their path. "Oh fuck," Black realized.
"Long time no see," Mara smiled.
"No man is a failure when he has friends," Black smiled back.
Supergirl was suddenly stabbed by Kryptonite blades and then thrown into a wall stunning her. The Yautja decloaked revealing himself. "Another one?" Mara muttered.
Menagerie then appeared next to Black and Hat. "Surprised?" she asked as the alien snake hissed from her back.
"No," Mara replied. She then powered up energy orbs in her hands to stun them. Hat suddenly took hold of a guard and placed a sword to his throat.
"We're going to find all the racists and make them dead," Black said to her.
"Just make sure you dig a grave for yourself," Mara said to him.
Hat then used his hat to teleport them all away. "Manchester," Hank called after him.
"That is a really cool hat," Mara said impressed.
"I'm going to find them," Hank said pissed-off.
"Not without me," Mara said and then felt her own blood from her gut.
"Are you okay?" Hank asked concerned.
"I just need to get back to the fortress," Mara said as her hair fluctuated between gold and black. Mara steadied herself and then fell to the ground.
"Oh shit," Hank realized and then picked Mara up.
Fortress of Solitude
At the fortress, Brainiac 5 and Nia trained in martial arts with Nia wearing a blindfold. "You have anticipatory dreams, but I have differential calculus," Brainiac 5 told her. "Both are predictive but also adaptive, too."
Nia blocked most of Brainiac 5's weak attacks but was then elbowed to the floor. "There couldn't have been a mat? Just an icy floor," Nia muttered.
"I learned that move from Val," Brainiac 5 said.
"Is Val another Vindicator friend?" Nia questioned. "Why can I know about him but not Nura?"
"You didn't ask," Brainiac 5 said simply.
"So...what is she like?" Nia said lamely.
"She is tall, blond, and beautiful unlike you," Brainiac 5 said.
"Thanks," Nia said feeling insulted.
"Don't feel bad. Fathers are not supposed to surpass their daughters in beauty," Brainiac 5 told her.
"You're a robot, right? Did someone program you to be an asshole?" Nia wondered.
"Before I met them," Brainiac 5 said as he stared at the two large ice statues. "I had the innocence of a child."
"Yeah, bullshit," Nia doubted.
"Nura was the best of our Dreamers. She could dream while she was awake. She could dream even in the midst of an intense battle. She could even dream inside a dream inside a dream," Brainiac 5 said.
"Like Inception?" Nia asked.
"Yes except without all the ridiculousness," Brainiac 5 agreed. "Which reminds me. I have a new idea," Brainiac 5 said intrigued.
"Oh shit," Nia said as she saw Brainiac 5's expression.
Hank flew Mara into the fortress. "What happened?" Brainiac 5 asked as he saw Mara's wounds.
"She was ambushed," Hank said vaguely.
Brainiac 5 placed Mara on a table. Kelex then arrived and scanned Mara's injuries. He quickly went to work to heal her. "What did this?" Brainiac 5 asked Hank.
"A Yautja," Hank replied gravely.
Hank then turned to the fortress computer and turned to a live Youtube video. "We want to send a message," Black began.
"Low angle? Really? Are you insane?" Menagerie chided.
"Bitch, I just might be. You're doing this now?" Black complained.
"We're live at a secret army base where mercenaries torture aliens when they get bored. They killed four of us. So, we killed thirteen of theirs. We will terminate prejudice with extreme prejudice," Black said to the camera.
"Like and subscribe," Menagerie said as Hat teleported them away with his hat.
"Damn, I'm not even mad, impressed actually," Hank said. "I've seen hats like that before. It's fifth-dimensional energy."
Moscow, PATRIOT
At PATRIOT, Nikolai and Alina looked over a map of secret US bases. "Give Black the coordinates to the next one," Nikolai ordered Alina.
"Why not give them all at once," Alina asked.
"You never give a mercenary the whole pie," Nikolai told her.
Kara struck up a conversation with Ben at an analyst's desk. "So, what's Supergirl like?" Kara asked.
"She's just like you. Completely insane," Ben replied.
"For your information, I am Insane free. Supergirl, on the other hand, is half-Insane," Kara objected.
"Why did you marry and have children with an Insane? Were you too good for humans?" Ben asked.
"Well, yeah, you're weak as fuck," Kara smiled poking Ben to the forehead and knocking him out of his chair.
"We have ambition and creativity you will never have," Ben said climbing back into his chair.
"You've certainly found a lot of ambitious and creative ways to kill yourselves. The history of humanity is like a SAW movie on crack," Kara grinned.
"That's an oversimplification," Ben said offended.
"You've just read history books. I've been to the gulags. I've talked with real people. I know shit," Kara said.
"And yet, you still side with these monsters?" Ben whispered to her.
"I'm about balancing the world powers. As a realist, you should appreciate what I'm doing. And this monster just finished ISIS off," Kara said, proud of herself.
"When the US and USSR were equal in strength, the world was at its most perilous. Having America and Russia on equal footing in an arms race will only make nuclear war more certain," Ben argued.
"So, Russia and the rest of the world should just lay down their arms and let America take over?" Kara asked incredulously.
"Yes," Ben replied.
"Well, I appreciate your candor," Kara smiled giving Ben a pat on the shoulder knocking him out of his chair.
Metropolis, USA
At the DEO, Alex reported to Col. Haley. "We've tried to keep up with them, but it's difficult with them using that hat. We should ask the Joint Chiefs to see if they want us overseas."
"I'll handle that," Col. Haley said dismissively. "Settle in Miss Luthor."
Alex observed Lena and Eve already working in her lab. "This used to be my lab," Alex remarked.
"It shows. It's a disorganized mess," Lena said as she looked through a microscope.
"May I?" Alex asked patiently.
Lena indulged Alex. "You've found a way to increase muscle efficiency. This isn't theoretical. You're giving people powers," Alex said stunned.
"Management is such a waste of your talents," Lena said impressed.
"This is dangerous. We need to up your security. We need to make sure your reports are on a protected server," Alex said stressed out.
"There will be no reports. I want none of my fingerprints on this," Lena corrected.
"This is shady as fuck," Alex realized.
"I'm providing the government products, not procedures. I don't trust the government with any of my research, and I intend to bring these procedures to the private sector after this contract is over," Lena said.
"But...I'm the government," Alex said offended.
"It's not personal," Lena said to her.
"It kind of feels personal," Alex shot back.
"Do you feel you're being treated unfairly?" Lena threatened.
"No," Alex backed down.
"Good, I would hate to cite you as the reason for me pulling out of this contract," Lena smiled.
Moscow, Russia
Ben struggled to use what little Russian he knew to order a drink at a bar. A burly man came up to him. "You're Ben Lockwood, right?" he said in English.
"Who wants to know?" Ben asked suspiciously.
"Hey, welcome to Moscow. It's Konin serving the Children of Liberty in our nation's capital and beyond," he smiled. "You're a legend for us."
"Nice to hear it," Ben said feeling paranoid in the bar.
"I came to say, I'm down with the boys, and they don't love your conduct as of late," Konin said honestly.
"No shit?" Ben said downing a shot.
"Manchester Black is running free, and you're here doing nothing about it," Konin told him.
"Wait...what?" Ben thought he misheard.
"You didn't hear? He broke out. This is my whole point. When this thing started, you were one scary mother-fucker. I mean, what happened? Did you cut your balls off?" Konin asked him.
"What do I need to do?" Ben asked Konin.
"I'll gather the men. You just show your pretty face," Konin told him.
"Alright, let's make it happen," Ben said enthusiastically and clinked shot glasses with Konin.
As Konin exited the bar, PATRIOT men grabbed him and tased his ass. "Hey, I'm with Federal Security Service," he said to them.
"Oh, our bad," Alina said embarrassed.
"God damn, we can't even get our spies straight in this country," Konin said peeved.
"You should be used to it now," Alina said and then motioned for her men to leave the scene.
At PATRIOT, a pissed-off Nikolai watched a live Youtube video of Black in London stealing the crown jewels. "This Black bastard is supposed to be attacking US bases. Not stealing jewels."
"It is embarrassing MI6," Alina allowed.
"When the Liberty crowd hurts us, we will hurt them in kind. Supergirl says that isn't the way. She says when they go low, we go high," Black said.
"I've never said that," Mara said defensively seeing the video from the fortress.
"We put them six feet lower," Black said as he kicked a man nearby. "We're done giving these White Devils the benefit of the law. Supergirl is over. This is the era of the Elite," Black announced to British rock music.
Kara smiled amused as she watched the video. "Now, I flatter myself. I'm guessing the girl of yesterday is watching somewhere, hands on those slender hips of hers. She can meet me face-to-face. Go on, come alone. I hope you can make it. That's what you're all about, right? Hope?" Black said and then signed off.
"I'm not really into that hope and change nonsense," Mara clarified to Brainiac 5 and Nia.
"Trust me, it's a trap," Hank said to Mara.
"Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've gotten myself into a trap," Mara said.
"And it wouldn't be the first time I bailed your ass out," Hank reminded her.
"They didn't even say where to meet," Nia said confused.
"There was a flash at the end of the video that had an image code that only someone like me could detect. A map only I could see," Mara said.
"Where does he want to meet?" Hank asked.
"Manchester, England. Get it? Because that's his name," Mara grinned.
"How long until dawn?" Hank asked.
"Three hours," Brainiac 5 replied.
"So, we wait and then I'll deal with them," Mara said confidently.
Moscow, Russia
Kara and Alina were dressed in military uniforms as they entered the Moscow Kremlin, the official residence of the president. "This place is like Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol," Kara said amused.
"We don't speak of that wretched film," Alina scolded her.
They finally arrived at the president's working office. "We have an appointment with the president," Alina said to the chief of staff outside the office.
"He will see you, alone," the chief of staff said to Kara.
Kara gave Alina a nervous look. "Behave yourself," Alina told her.
Kara walked in and found President Vladimir Putin working at his desk. He got up and shook Kara's hand. The two were roughly the same height and build. "Leave us, please," Putin said to his chief of staff.
"Please, sit," Putin said to Kara at a long wood table.
"You must have balls of steel to meet me in person without security," Kara smiled impressed.
"I do," Putin agreed with a smile. "I know that you have the power to destroy the world so why even bother?"
"So...how can I help you?" Kara asked, wondering the purpose of this meeting.
"You've done a great service for the Russian people. I hope I have made your stay with us very comfortable," Putin said.
"You've done an excellent job, Mr. President," Kara said appreciatively.
"I would like to ask you one more thing. As you know, my wife and I have parted ways. I suppose I was gone away from home too much while serving the Russian people," Putin said sadly.
"I'm sure that was it," Kara smiled knowing otherwise.
"I would like you to accompany me on social events like the ballet, theater, the opera, sporting events, and other public functions," Putin requested.
"Doing what exactly?" Kara asked.
"Just being with me and showing up nice and pretty," Putin smiled.
"You want a trophy girlfriend? Why me?" Kara asked.
"You can provide me protection, and you are very beautiful," Putin told her.
"It's going to take a millisecond for the Western press to investigate who I am. I mean, without my glasses, they're going to know who I am or was," Kara said.
"Just get yourself a different hairstyle. That should keep them from knowing," Putin shrugged.
"Got it," Kara agreed.
"I am always open to whatever you have to say about the direction of our country just as I listen to everyone in my country," Putin said.
"Oh really?" Kara doubted.
"But on these social events, all the people of Russia need to know is how good you look," Putin said bluntly.
"I completely understand," Kara agreed.
"So, we good?" Putin asked finally.
"It would be an absolute joy and pleasure to be your non-sexual escort whenever you need me, Mr. President," Kara agreed.
"Thank you, Miss Zhukov," Putin smiled pleased. "My chief of staff will give you a schedule of all events."
Fortress of Solitude
At the fortress, it was almost dusk in England. "I've made up my mind," Mara said.
"Yeah, you've said that a dozen times already," Hank said annoyed.
"You can't convince me to change it," Mara told him.
"I wasn't trying to," Hank rolled his eyes. "Can you do me this favor? When you do capture Black, give him over to me."
"Absolutely," Mara agreed.
"Manchester is like the son I never had. It's only right that I put him down," Hank said seriously.
"Well, okay then," Mara said.
"Do you want to do this alone?" Hank asked her.
"I think I got this," Mara said confidently.
"You are a symbol for America. Tell that Brit that no one fucks with America," Hank told her.
Manchester, England
Mara slammed through the roof a pub in Manchester, England. "God damn, woman. There was a door," Black shook his head dismayed.
"And you can stop killing people. I guess we all have our faults," Mara smirked.
"Please, no tricks," Black said showing her a full table.
"So, we're just going to sit here and do the dining scene from Heat?" Mara wondered.
"You should never reference a better film than the one you're in. It's screen-writing 101," Black told her.
"Oh really?" Mara said skeptically.
Hat and Menagerie then materialized behind Black. "I thought this was about revenge?" Mara asked as she saw Menagerie's jewel bag.
"I got to keep the crew happy, don't I?" Black said obviously. "This is between you and me. You won't join us, and I can't beat you so let's make a deal."
"We negotiating?" Mara asked sitting down.
"Always," Black smiled.
"I accept your surrender," Mara smirked.
"Never, but I can stay out of your soup. But the racists, the fascists, the Children of Liberty, they're our department," Black said.
"I'm not like the last Supergirl. I don't kill people," Mara said.
"We both know that isn't true," Black said.
"You know, it's complicated," Mara said referring to Reign.
"Your government is about to launch a satellite that will shoot down any alien spaceship that is entering our atmosphere," Black revealed.
"Yeah," Mara said nonchalantly. "It's part of our missile defense system."
"It's why I formed this band of merry men. I mean merry people. I'm not sexist. President Trump and his people are shady as fuck," Black said getting up.
"I already knew that, but he is the president," Mara stood up as well.
"If you don't tell the president to back off, we'll do it for you," Black said and then his gang teleported away.
Washington DC, USA
At the White House, a man in a red suit and hat left the tour group. "Excuse me, Sir. Are you lost?" a Secret Service agent asked him.
Hat took off his hat and threw it at the SS agent knocking him down. Hat then ran down the hall. "Mr. President, we have a security breach," the SS said as they swarmed the Oval Office.
Hat teleported randomly around the White House knocking down SS agents as he did. "Lock this place down," the SS chief yelled at his men.
Hat teleported all over the place avoiding gunfire and taking down SS agents one-by-one as he got closer to the Oval Office. After kicking two agents down, Hat punched another agent through the Oval Office door. "Don't shoot!" the agent said as he fell into the room.
Hat materialized into the room and proceeded to beat the shit out of the SS agents as they surrounded the president. Finally, Hat leaped on Trump and took a dagger out of his hat. Heat vision beams went through the Oval Office windows and sliced into Hat's shoulder. He quickly teleported out of the room.
Mara entered the Oval Office and looked around for Hat. "What the fuck was that?" Trump wondered.
Using her X-ray vision, Mara didn't see Hat in the building. "You're safe for now," Mara told him.
Vice President Pence rushed into the Oval Office. "Thank God, you're alive," he said of Trump.
"That was not great," Trump said peeved.
The SS agents then left the room and shut down the building leaving the three of them alone. "I've been told that you have a satellite in orbit designed to shoot down alien spaceships headed to Earth," Mara said concernedly.
"Yeah," Trump said getting off the floor.
"It's part of our missile defense system," Pence said. "Just the other week, alien battleships were here."
"Well, that's what I am for," Mara said.
"It's not enough that we just rely on you and your friends, Supergirl. There may come a time when there is someone else far more powerful than you are," Pence said to her. "We need to be able to shoot them from space before they enter our atmosphere."
"Yeah, or an asteroid, like Armageddon," Trump chimed in.
"The Elite will be targeting personnel affiliated with the satellite," Mara warned.
"We get threats to our military bases all the time," Pence said dismissively.
"Look, hypothetically speaking, what if we shoot down a peaceful alien ship by mistake?" Mara asked.
"What are we? The Russians? We make sure the target is hostile before we shoot it down," Trump assured her.
"Yeah, but what if we get it wrong?" Mara pressed.
"Shit happens," Trump shrugged. "We've used drones to kill terrorists for the last ten years. Sometimes, there are civilian causalities. It's sad. But that doesn't mean we scrap the drone project. As we become more advanced technologically, we will be able to decipher the good from the bad. I mean, during WW2 we carpet-bombed the shit out of countries."
"Well, okay then," Mara allowed.
"The launch will be in Wyoming near Devil's Tower," Trump informed Mara.
"Eventually we will reach a point where we no longer need your services, Supergirl. Then, you can finally have a normal life," Pence said gently.
"I hope you're right," Mara said as she left.
Fortress of Solitude
Nia began working on her powers and accidentally fired an astral projection into an ice wall at the fortress. "You're doing quite well for a male Naltorian," Brainiac 5 complimented.
"Do you always have to be an asshole?" Nia asked scornfully.
"Not always but often," Brainiac 5 replied.
"I know I went behind your back and took on more than I could chew. I always push ahead farther than I should," Nia admitted.
Brainiac 5 looked her over. "Obviously."
"I know you feel the need to present yourself this way, but you can be whatever you wish to be. In the future, men and women wear identical clothing. They have identical hairstyles. The popular trends of today are gone. It was just men and women, as they are, fighting for survival in an apocalyptic wasteland," Brainiac 5 reflected.
"I know who I am," Nia said confidently.
"Who you are is a matter of choice. Supergirl is both Kryptonian and Insane. Sometimes, she takes on the cultural characteristics of either or neither. She's not even human yet enjoys human fashion, music, and film," Brainiac 5 pointed out.
"When I first came to Earth, I watched a lot of porn. Like, a lot of it," Nia admitted.
"Yes," Brainiac 5 allowed.
"When I saw two Lesbians, I thought of myself as an outside observer looking in on them," Nia said.
"Go on," Brainiac 5 encouraged.
"And then, after hundreds of hours of watching Lesbian porn, I thought of myself as being one of them and what it would be like," Nia confessed.
"In the future, I was the Christian Pope. You can tell me anything, and it will always be between us," Brainiac 5 told her.
Devil's Tower, USA
At Devil's Tower, Wyoming, the Elite stormed the launch site. Supergirl and Hank were there to meet them. "How did you know we were coming?" Black asked.
"X-ray vision: It's quite something," Mara said looking directly at the Yautja.
"You're still outnumbered," Menagerie pointed out.
"Oh really?" Brainiac 5 said as he entered the battle with Nia suited up next to him.
"You have the Elite. I have the Vindicators," Mara said proudly.
"I'm not signing off on your Vindicator bullshit," Hank said to Mara.
"You're doing this now?" Mara hissed at him.
"I haven't even been initiated yet," Nia pointed out. "I don't have the ring either."
"You don't need to have the ring to be a Vindicator," Mara told her.
"Aren't Kon, Soara, and Bro Vindicators now? I feel we don't even have a quorum," Brainiac 5 said.
"Okay, we're not the Vindicators this time. What about Super Friends?" Mara asked.
"That sounds really gay. No offense," Hank said to Nia.
"None taken," Nia rolled her eyes.
"I concur with J'onn," Brainiac 5 agreed.
"It doesn't matter what shit you call yourselves. You're all dead men...I mean dead people. I'm not sexist," Black said and then opened fire.
Bullets bounced off Mara as she was hit. "Maybe, we should fire on someone who is not bulletproof," Menagerie suggested.
"Good point, lass," Black agreed and started shooting at soldiers.
"Oh shit," Hank realized as he grabbed the soldiers and sank them to the floor below, so they wouldn't get hit. Menagerie then wrapped a snake around Mara and threw her into a jeep destroying it.
Hat took out an ax and handed it to Black. "Go after the Martian," he said to him.
Menagerie targeted Mara when she was thrown against the wall by Nia's astral projection. "Rad," Nia said impressed.
"Hey, not bad for...you," Mara said to her.
"I get it," Nia said shaking her head dismayed.
Brainiac 5 proceeded to beat the shit out of Hat. He punched Brainiac 5 to the face nearly breaking his hand. In the basement level, Hank was suddenly hit by a laser gun from Black. Hank got back up, transformed into J'onn and the fight was on. Black whirled his ax but was blocked by J'onn. With his Martian strength, J'onn kicked Black's Black ass to the floor. Black threw a fire grenade at J'onn lighting him on fire and keeping him at bay.
Meanwhile, the Yautja slaughtered a few soldiers with his blades as he remained cloaked. He reached the command center to force the launch. Brainiac 5 and Nia attempted to strike a knock-out blow on Hat, but he continued to teleport away from them.
Mara fired on the Yautja using her X-ray vision. The beam made the Yautja visible for a few seconds before it disappeared. Mara looked over the launch sequence and saw that it had already counted down. Black came into the room with a weakened Hank in his arms.
"When it reaches outer-space, it's going to target the White House. I'm going to burn it down like it's 1812 all over again," Black smiled.
"We're supposed to be allies," Mara said scornfully.
"Oh really? An ally that comes late to the party and then takes credit for everything...twice. An ally that fucked us over in the Suez Canal. An ally that did nothing as our empire collapsed across the globe. An ally that even tried to prevent us from keeping the Falklands. We're the older cousin, yet you treat us like a younger brother," Black raged.
"That's fair," Mara allowed.
Hank got out of Black's hold and slammed him down on a desk. "Fly," he said to Mara.
Mara nodded and then went through the ceiling towards the launching satellite. Hank took hold of Black and phased them both outside the building. Hank smacked Black around a bit in the forest until Black went down to the ground. "There you are J'onn. Nice to meet you," Black chuckled.
"I never left. You must have a death wish, mother-fucker," Hank said to him.
Black laughed and then teleported away. "Well...shit," Hank realized.
Mara reached the satellite and tilted it so it hit the polar ice cap instead. "Oops," Mara realized. She then saw several shimmers in space.
"We have the satellite back under our control, Mr. President," Pence informed Trump from an undisclosed bunker.
"Fire at will," Trump ordered.
Mara fired energy beams at the Yautja battle cruisers briefly decloaking them. The satellite fired laser beams at the point of impact heavily damaging the Yautja ships. Mara grinned excitedly as she lit the Yautja ships up. The satellite followed her shots firing at the same location. The damaged Yautja fleet then departed to hyperspace.
The bunker cheered at their success. "You did it, Mr. President," Pence applauded.
"You give me far too little credit," Trump smiled impressed with himself.
Washington DC, USA
Mara visited the White House finding President Trump at his desk. "That satellite array was built to protect the American people, not to mention it cost two-hundred billion dollars," Trump said thoughtfully.
"Yeah," Mara agreed.
"And it did beautifully," Trump smiled. "We kicked ass."
"That we did, Mr. President," Mara said giving him a high-five.
Moscow, Russia
In his Agent Liberty costume, Ben led a protest against the Russian government on aliens. PATRIOT watched the protest with interests. With cameras all over Red Square, they were able to get facial recognition on all the protesters. The analysts then worked to gather their names, phone numbers, and addresses.
"Protesters...stupid as fuck," Nikolai grinned.
Meanwhile, Kara took Putin's arm at an opera production. Kara wiped away a tear as she heard the beautiful music. "First time?" Putin asked her.
"Yes," Kara admitted.
"It won't be the last," Putin smiled at her.
