Season 4.5 Episode 7
Kara stood on top of a tall Tokyo skyscraper memorized by the bright lights of the city during the middle of the night. She was wearing a black trench-coat and a black-haired wig. She had a radio receiver in her ear.
"This is Major Kara. I'm on site ready to kick ass," Kara said through the radio.
"Scan for a necro-box," Brainiac 5 replied.
Kara looked around and found the box. "It's working, alright," she said seeing it glow.
"Scan building for security personnel," Brainiac 5 requested.
Kara scanned the entire building as if it were translucent and spotted several guards in the hallways. "Nothing you can't handle. They're on the 43rd floor." Kara replied.
She then noticed a Yakuza gang approaching a meeting of Tokyo big-wigs. They shot dead some of the guards and were approaching fast with automatic weapons. "We got another player. I'll handle them," Kara said.
"Copy," Brainiac 5 replied.
"Do you think I look Japanese enough with this wig?" Kara asked.
"It takes more than a wig to become Japanese," Brainiac 5 replied.
"Damn," Kara sighed. She then smiled as she took off her trench-coat revealing her Supergirl uniform underneath. "I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so," Kara hummed.
She then leaped off the building and flew straight for the Yakuza. Before they could reach the meeting, Kara burst through the glass window and beat them all down within a second. She then realized the Yakuza were using cybernetics giving them greater resiliency. They got back up and fired on her with automatic fire. Kara allowed the bullets to bounce off her and then used her heat vision to incinerate them one-by-one.
"Clear," Kara radioed Brainiac 5.
Brainiac 5 leaped off a building and broke through a glass window kicking a sex-trafficking gangster to the floor and shocking the waitress nearby. Brainiac 5 quickly got back to his feet wearing a solid black outfit with a leather jacket and sunglasses. The Japanese gangsters immediately fired their pistols on him with their bullets bouncing off his metal frame. Brainiac 5 then took out his samurai sword and pistol and went to work slicing one gangster's head off, slicing another through the neck, using his pistol to accurately kill a few more, and additional swipes with his sword to the throat and head until all but one was dead.
"Whatever they're paying you, I'll pay double," the gangster stammered.
"I feel no pain, no remorse, and I cannot be bargained with," Brainiac 5 told him and then fired into his head.
"Clear," Brainiac 5 said to Kara as the waitress fled the scene.
"We could have just had the Yakuza and these losers kill each other off," Kara realized.
"There's greater certainty of termination if we do it," Brainiac 5 said.
"True...true," Kara allowed.
"Do you have another agenda item?" Brainiac 5 asked.
"Let's get some sake!" Kara said enthusiastically.
Outside Metropolis
Meanwhile, Alex and Kelly were oblivious of the attack on the diner. "Is he up, yet?" Alex asked concerned.
"I think I heard movement in his room," Kelly said.
Connor entered the kitchen looking groggy. "Hey, you're going to be late for school," Alex scolded.
"Sorry. I was just up in my room...thinking," Connor said.
"Thinking about what?" Kelly asked going into shrink-mode.
"Just about everything," Connor said vaguely. "And it's totally cool. I feel good."
"Well, I'm glad you feel that way," Kelly smiled.
"Yeah, me, too," Alex said with less enthusiasm.
"Why don't you take a seat and get some breakfast in you," Kelly said warmly.
At the diner, the sheriff deputies were already collecting evidence. The lead sheriff deputy was an older black man just a few days away from retirement and in all his years, he had seen some crazy-ass shit but nothing compared to this. "She hasn't responded to any calls or texts," he said referring to Erica.
"That's correct. This was the last place she was known to be," his fellow sheriff deputy said.
"It doesn't look like a robbery," the lead deputy said.
"Who would want to rob a diner?" the other deputy asked.
"Haven't you watched Pulp Fiction? It's the last place one would expect to be robbed. I mean, I would do it," the lead deputy said looking around. "Have you talked to her daughter?"
"She won't say anything. She's scared shitless," the other said.
"What is that?" the lead deputy wondered and then breathed on the window. The swastika symbol then appeared on the window. "God damn."
"Is that what I think it is?" the other deputy asked.
"You didn't see anything. Word gets out about this, we'll have the FBI and every God damn news agency down here," the lead deputy told her.
Mutant Detention Facility
Joseph Wilson aka Deathstroke was taken to a maximum-security detention facility in the mountains of upstate New York. With him was Sungirl. Power dampener collars were put on their necks making it impossible to use their superhuman abilities. The two were given sleeping bags and sent off to their respective cells. Inside this detention facility were villains with powers that were not nearly high enough for Supergirl to be interested in killing. They all had the same collars making them helpless against the heavily armed guards.
"Hard left, douchebag," the guard said to Wilson sending him to a glass cell that gave him zero privacy. Sungirl was taken away to the women's wing.
Metropolis Outskirts
That night, a portal bending space-time opened just outside Metropolis. As the portal disappeared, a muscular man in a black one-piece suit emerged holding a large plasma rifle in his hands and a pistol on his thigh. His right arm and a large chunk of his right side were cybernetic, his right eye was also cybernetic, his hair was white, and his face looked like it had seen countless years of war.
He walked up to random rednecks in a field observing the night sky. "Year?" he demanded of them.
"What kind of dumbass question is that?" they asked.
Cable had no patience for them. He stunned them with a TASER shot, took their beer, and then took their truck. Using the money he found in the truck, he got himself a cheap hotel room and some Chinese food. He then watched news footage of the battle at Shelley Island. He eyed the brief scene of Alex taking Deathstroke away.
"Yeah, we won't be seeing these guys anytime soon," Supergirl smiled.
"Where are they going?" a reporter asked.
"Well, that's classified but I can tell you that there is a huge mutant detention facility in the mountains of Upstate New York," Kara said.
"This interview is over," Alex said crossly ending the footage abruptly.
Mutant Detention Facility
The next morning, a wall was blasted out stunning two patrolling guards walking the halls. A heavily armed Cable entered the control room and threw a grenade. The explosion destroyed the control room and killed several guards. The doors to the cells of the mutants then opened including that of Wilson's.
Cable connected a loose wire to his arm and found the cell he was looking for by accessing the detention facility's mainframe. He then advanced forward physically attacking the guards and using an energy force-field from his metal arm to block their pistol bullets. Using his own pistol, he killed a few more guards in close quarters. He then took out a M320 grenade launcher and fired into the women's wing. The grenade hit where Sungirl had just been creating an explosion that scattered several female prisoners.
"That was Deborah's cell," Wilson realized and then ran towards it.
Wilson caught up with the shell-shocked Sungirl. "Come with me if you want to live," he said to her.
Cable fired armor-piercing shells from his rifle at the bridge the two of them were on blasting holes in it but missing them. Both Cable and Wilson fought through guards and prisoners as they tried to make their way. Cable then leaped up onto the third-level bridge and faced off with Wilson and Sungirl.
"Hello, Deborah," Cable smiled bitterly.
"What the fuck?" Wilson wondered at him.
Cable aimed his rifle at Sungirl to gun her down when Wilson intervened sending the rifle up to the ceiling. Cable fired automatic fire into the ceiling as he fought with Wilson. Cable slammed his rifle into Wilson and proceeded to kick his ass with powerful punches from his robotic arm. Cable then realized Sungirl was escaping. He let Wilson go and then leaped down to the second level bridge to get to her. After manhandling two guards, Cable aimed his rifle at Sungirl for the kill. Wilson then dropped down, grabbed Cable, and the two of them fell to the ground floor. Wilson hit a metal table hard, knocking himself out but breaking his collar off. Cable quickly recovered and fired continuously at Sungirl hitting several guards and prisoners in the process. Wilson took a metal pole and slammed Cable to the back with it. The two fought over the pole and grabbed each other in a wrestling hold.
"Who are you?" Cable demanded of him.
"Not fucking Deadpool," Wilson replied flipping Cable to the floor and retrieving his rifle. Wilson fired on Cable at maximum setting. Cable put up an energy field from his robotic arm but was none-the-less blasted into the latrine.
Wilson went into the damaged latrine and pointed Cable's rifle at him. "What the fuck is your problem? What kind of man tries to kill a defenseless teenage girl?"
"The name's Cable from the future. Just walk away," Cable said vaguely and then summoned his rifle magnetically back to his back. Cable then fired on Wilson nearly taking him out.
The two fought over the rifle in the latrine. As the rifle hit the floor, Cable gave Wilson a beating and then stabbed him repeatedly with his knife. Cable then threw Wilson into a cave-like structure that led to the outside. His rifle came back to his back as he advanced on Wilson. With his robotic fist, he punched Wilson to the back hard devastating him. He then turned him around.
"Why are you protecting the girl?" he demanded
"What kind of dumb-ass question is that?" Wilson spat back. Wilson then took one of Cable's grenades and took out the pin.
"Fuck!" Cable shouted as the explosion ripped a hole in the facility.
The two of them tumbled down a mountain hitting snow and rock as they did. Cable eventually used his robotic arm to drag his fall to a stop. Wilson kept tumbling until he fell into a frozen lake and didn't come back up. A blue and red blur then descended into the detention facility. Supergirl blasted through the ceiling and clapped her hands sending prisoners and guards to the floor stunned. Upon seeing Supergirl, Cable retreated away wisely realizing he was no match against her.
"Anyone want a piece of me?" Kara asked the prisoners.
The prisoners backed away in fear. This was no Superman. She would incinerate them all without hesitation. "That's what I thought," Kara grinned.
The detention facility administrator came up to Kara. "Thank you so much for coming," he said gratefully.
"How hard is it to control these prisoners? They've got power dampening collars on their necks for crying out loud," Kara said derisively.
"We were attacked by this man," the administrator said showing surveillance footage of Cable.
"Why does this man look so familiar?" Kara wondered looking him over.
"I don't know," the administrator said.
Kara eyed him annoyed. "Send your worst prisoners to the dock, so we can send them to Gitmo. At least if they escape there, it isn't our problem."
"We would have to transport them through Metropolis," the administrator protested.
"I don't give a fuck," Kara said unconcernedly. "I'll be staying here until you load them up. Don't keep me waiting."
"Of course," the administrator said to her.
Metropolis
Wilson made his way to his favorite bar in Metropolis where he found his daughter, Rose Wilson aka Ravager, working as a bartender. "Nice to see you again, dad," she said bitterly.
"I've been through a lot of shit recently. Don't push me," Wilson warned her.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"East Titans is a bust. I need a new team," Wilson said.
"What the fuck for?" Rose asked.
"We have to save Deborah from a cybernetically enhanced man from the future," Wilson told her.
"Why?" Rose wondered.
"She's one of us," Wilson said seriously.
"When did you give a shit about any of us?" Rose asked skeptically.
"I don't know. Something about this girl made me realize what an asshole I have become. Maybe, if I save her it will redeem me," Wilson considered.
"By killing scores of people to save her?" Rose asked incredulously.
"Yes," Wilson said resolved.
Rose rolled her eyes. "It was getting boring around here anyway. I'll post a Facebook ad to get us some applicants."
Wilson gave her a confused look. "What's a Facebook?"
"Fuck, you're old," Rose shook her head.
At his cheap-ass hotel, Cable looked over his cybernetic arm, shoulder, and right side of his chest for damage. He experienced a sudden flashback where a much older Sungirl had entered his house and let loose flames that burned his wife and young daughter alive. Drinking beer-after-beer, Cable tried to dull the pain by getting drunk as fuck.
At the mutant detention facility, Kara watched passively as another prison riot broke out over some prisoner's pudding. "How much longer?" she asked the administrator.
"The transport leaves at eight in the morning," he replied.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," Kara said displeased.
Sungirl made her way through the chaos of the prison riot to make friends with the badest mother-fucker in the facility locked away in a special cell away from everyone else.
Metropolis
At the bar, Wilson and Rose interviewed applicants for the new D-Force. "Not sure about the name," Rose said to him.
"It's a perfect name. D is short for death, and we're going to give all of our foes the big D they've been asking for," Wilson told her.
Rose tried not to laugh. A muscular black man came before them. "The name's Bedlam. I can distort electrical fields including the one inside your brain," he told them.
A white scrawny guy then came in with a cup under his mouth. "I'm Zeitgeist. I can spit out acidic vomit. The Vanisher, being an invisible man, was next.
"Is he here? This better not be a joke," Wilson growled at Rose.
"He may be running late," Rose excused.
"I'm Shadowstar. I'm an alien and I'm basically better than humans in every way," he said confidently.
"Including me?" Wilson scoffed.
"Including you," he replied.
"The fuck you are," Wilson disagreed. "But I like your confidence. You're in."
Mutant Detention Facility
Kara was about to escort the prison transport train when she got an emergency signal from James. "Look, I think you can manage this transport on your own. I've kept the peace so far and now you can do the rest," she said as a prison riot was ongoing outside the office.
"We really could use you in the skies. These are very dangerous people here," the administrator said.
"Yeah, well, family first," Kara said and then took off.
Metropolis
The prisoner transport train made its way through Metropolis towards the dock. Wilson suited up as Deathstroke in his orange and black suit, two pistols on his thighs, two Samurai swords on his back, plenty of ammunition on his belt, knives, and grenades. Rose suited up as Ravager in an all-blue suit with similar weaponry. The D-Force got onto a transport helicopter and flew over to Metropolis to intercept the transport train as it drove through the busy streets.
"We're going to shove the D-Force down their throats," Deathstroke told them all.
"Fuck yeah!" they shouted in agreement.
The D-Force then enthusiastically leaped out of the helicopter towards their target. Ravager dropped down via parachute into a busy intersection causing cars to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting her causing a nearby gasoline station to explode. She proceeded to run through traffic causing even more traffic accidents and then leaped down to a lower street level and dropped down on the transport train.
Bedlam arrived next and with his powers deactivated the security system and locks of the train allowing them inside. Ravager went inside the cabin and shot the drivers dead taking over the train. "I'm in," she radioed.
Deathstroke, Zeitgeist, Shadowstar, and Vanisher dropped onto the train next and went inside. Cable was already on the scene knowing the route already through a device he had left behind at the mutant detention facility. He ran towards the train and fired a missile from his rifle. The missile cut the train's brakes and then blasted an escorting Humvee to scrap behind it. Without brakes, the transport train ran into its Humvee escort in the front totaling it. Cable leaped on top of the ruined Humvee and then onto the train.
Bedlam quickly deactivated Cable's cybernetic abilities. With his human left arm, Cable fired into Bedlam with his pistol sending him off the train where he was hit by oncoming traffic. Restarting his cybernetics, Cable was suddenly hit multiple times by the Vanisher's punches. Cable took the abuse until his cybernetics came back online. With his cybernetic eye, he could see the Vanisher in infrared and immediately fired a flame thrower at him with his rifle. The Vanisher became visible as he was aflame and fell off the train. Zeitgeist vomited acid in Cable's direction, but he activated his energy shield just in time.
"Give me a sec," Zeitgeist said as he tried to vomit again.
Cable fired a grenade shell into Zeitgeist's gut sending acidic vomit on Shadowstar and Deathstroke. "You deal with him," Deathstroke said disgustedly as he went inside the train itself.
"I must warn you. I've never lost against a human," Shadowstar said confidently.
"I'm not afraid of a Freaky Alien Genotype," Cable replied.
Deathstroke found Sungirl's cell and worked to get her out. Cable and Shadowstar fought hand-to-hand on top of the train with Shadowstar having the obvious edge. Shadowstar let loose his special powers by dodging Cable's fire and blocking all of his moves. Cable fell defeated before him.
"How do you hope to win against a superior specimen like myself? Why not give up?" Shadowstar asked rhetorically.
"Because I know these streets," Cable replied as Shadowstar was suddenly hit by a traffic light, knocked off the train, and run over by incoming traffic sending green goo all over the streets.
Cable then threw a grenade into the train that stuck to the inside wall. "Fuck!" Deathstroke shouted as he covered himself with it to protect Sungirl. The explosion devastated him sending him to the floor a bloody mess. Cable then entered the train only to be shot at by Ravager who had abandoned the wheel. The train started smashing into several cars as it no longer had a driver or brakes. Cable used his energy shield to block her fire. He proceeded to kick her ass as Deathstroke slowly recovered. Just as Cable was about to shoot Ravager in the head, Deathstroke intervened forcing a misfire.
Ravager went back to the driver seat as Cable and Deathstroke fought inside the train. Taking out two Samurai swords, Deathstroke sliced Cable's pistol in half. The two continued to fight while Sungirl managed to open her cell. She proceeded to open the cell of the prisoner she had befriended earlier. The large and impressive Juggernaut got out of his cell and stared at Cable and Deathstroke.
"Holy fuck," Deathstroke realized.
Juggernaut slammed his fist on the floor with enough force that the train went airborne and the street underneath them collapsed. The train fell through the bridge and landed with a thud tossing all occupants out. Juggernaut, a beast of a man at eight-foot, insanely muscular physique, and a helmet on his head, climbed out of the train with Sungirl at his side.
"See what you've done? You've released the Juggernaut," Cable scolded Deathstroke.
"That's right, bitch," Juggernaut said victoriously.
"I've got myself a new friend now. One that can protect me," Sungirl said pleased as she took off her broken collar.
"Deborah, this thing cannot be controlled. He'll kill everyone including you," Deathstroke told her.
"Starting with you, loudmouth," Juggernaut threatened.
"Rose, get the fuck out of here," Deathstroke ordered.
"But Dad," she protested.
"Do it. I...," he said struggling to say the words.
"Love me?" Ravager wondered.
"Yeah, that," Deathstroke confirmed.
Ravager nodded and then ran off. "Smart girl," Juggernaut laughed. "But I'll find her again."
Deathstroke tossed grenades at Juggernaught that had no effect on him. He then fired twin pistols at him without effect as well. Taking his swords, Deathstroke leaped up to slice his head off just below the helmet. Juggernaut caught Deathstroke just in time, took an arm and a leg, and ripped him into two pieces.
Cable stared stunned at the upper half of Deathstroke. "Tell my girl..I'll be okay," he said as he died.
"Nothing can stop us now," Sungirl said impressed.
Cable went for a shot on her only for the Juggernaut to shield her from his fire. Juggernaut then punched Cable across the street slamming into a car as he landed. "I'll tear that metal arm clear off," Juggernaut said to him.
Cable assessed the situation and decided it was time to leave quickly hot wiring a motorcycle and taking off.
Metropolis Suburbs
Kara rushed into a bar in civilian clothes and found James waiting for her. "What's the emergency?" she asked.
"You're about to miss happy hour," James told her.
Kara sighed but couldn't help but smile at her ex-lover and best friend. After an hour of playing pool and getting shit-faced, Kara told James everything that had been going on. "So, a diner got broken into and the waitress is gone? That's whack," James said.
"I know, right? I mean, who could have done such a thing?" Kara agreed.
"Do you think Connor could have done it?" James asked.
"I really hope not," Kara said seriously. "I mean, he crushed a girl's hand. Now that I think about it, the daughter he injured was that of the missing waitress."
James and Kara gave each other blank faces too drunk to make the connection. "So, what brings you here?" Kara asked.
"I'm supposed to visit Kelly, but I'm putting it off," James admitted.
"Remember, if the shrink lets you go, you win," Kara smiled.
Kara and James gave each other a hive-five. "To being perpetually dysfunctional," James toasted.
"And perpetually successful despite it," Kara toasted back.
Metropolis
Alex and the DEO arrived at the crash site with the Juggernaut and Sungirl already gone. "Holy shit," Alex said lowering her sunglasses.
"We might need the girl in the red skirt for this one," a DEO agent said.
"No kidding," Alex looked around at the devastation.
Alex barged into Kara's apartment. "Where have you been? I've been calling you non-stop," she said irately. Instead of finding Kara, she found Cable, instead, looking through Kara's diary.
"On your knees, asshole!" Alex shouted at him.
Cable refused to comply. "Alex Danvers," he addressed.
"How do you know me?" Alex asked keeping her pistol on him.
"You know me, don't you? You can see it, can't you?" he asked her.
Alex saw some resemblance but it was impossible. "I go by Cable but my real name is Nate Danvers. I'm your son," he said.
"Bullshit," Alex said instantly. "Who's the father then?"
"I don't know," Cable said honestly. "Some random sperm donor probably."
"Why are you here?" Alex asked still not believing him.
"In the future, there is a great war between mutants and humans. You died in that war when I was young. I lost my arm to a bitch named Sungirl. I hunted her ass all over the country, but she always managed to get away from me. Finally, she came to my home and burned my wife and daughter alive," Cable said and then showed a burned teddy bear attached to his belt.
"I'm sorry," Alex said seeing the pain in his eyes. "Where was Supergirl in all this."
"She left before the war and never returned," Cable replied. "I've come back through time to destroy her before she makes her first kill."
"She's just a girl," Alex objected.
"A rabid dog doesn't know what he's doing but has to be put down all the same," Cable replied.
"Let me be the one that brings her in," Alex said.
"If I fail in this time, history will just repeat itself. For the sake of your granddaughter, let me help you," Cable said to her.
"If what you say is true, come with me," Alex allowed.
Metropolis Suburbs
Kara arrived at the school and entered the counseling office completely shit-faced. "Thanks for joining us. I figured Connor here should have both a human and a Kryptonian perspective," Kelly said.
"What the fuck is a Kryptonian?" Kara wondered. "Wait...that's me...right?" Kara recalled.
Connor gave Kara an odd look. "Aunt Kara's quite the comedian," Kelly said realizing something was clearly wrong with her.
"What...burp...appears to be the problem?" Kara asked.
"Connor broke Caitlyn's hand," Kelly reminded her.
"It was an accident, honestly," Connor lied.
"Well, you see, case closed," Kara said disinterestedly.
"Connor, what was going on in your mind when you broke her hand? Did you feel angry she didn't catch you?" Kelly asked.
"No, I didn't feel a thing," Connor shook his head.
"But did you feel she betrayed your trust?" Kelly asked.
"I guess so," Connor allowed.
"Did you do anything to her to make her feel that way?" Kelly asked.
"No," Connor lied.
"Are you sorry for what you did?" Kelly asked.
"Sometimes...bad things happen to people for a reason," Connor replied.
"I don't think I'm getting through to you," Kelly said and then looked to Kara for help.
Kara rolled her eyes. "I have a son almost your age. I know...using these awesome powers is tempting. It can even feel...intoxicating."
"You hurt people...when you were my age," Connor pointed out.
"When I was in high school in Midvale, I killed a lot of people...like a shit-ton. But every one of those fuckers deserved it. You only kill in defense of yourself or others," Kara told him.
"But really you should just let the police handle it," Kelly disagreed.
"Fuck the police," Kara said deliriously.
"Kara!" Kelly scolded.
"Alright, let me get straight to the point. I'm going to tell you what I told my son a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. You break someone's arm, I break your neck," Kara said seriously.
Connor simply stared at Kara with fear in his eyes. "Wow, I think we're done here," Kelly said freaked out.
"Good talk," Kara said swirling Connor's hair.
Kelly followed Kara out of the school. "What the fuck was that?" she asked her.
Kara tried to keep her footing as the world spun around her. "Look, I don't know if that kid had anything to do with that waitress. Frankly, I don't give a shit. I've made plenty of questionable kills in my lifetime, but I never lost sight of who I was before I came to this planet, that of a weak little girl that just wanted to be loved. And wanting to be loved by my new adopted parents and Alex is what kept me from being a total monster. You have to ask yourself, does Connor need that love? Does he even want it? We Kryptonians have been taught to use only logic no matter how cruel it may be. I resisted that programming, that instinct, in order to be more human. Connor is fighting that instinct every day," Kara told her.
"And threatening him?" Kelly asked incredulously.
"That kid has the potential firepower of an entire nation within his being. The only way to keep him on the straight and narrow is a show of force. That's how I raised my son and eventually he decided on his own to be a true hero in his own irresponsible asinine way. You be that carrot. I'll be the stick," Kara told her.
"You know what I think? I think you're even more fucked up than he is," Kelly said to Kara.
Kara chuckled at that. "When you're right, you're right," she said and then flew off into the air.
Metropolis
Alex brought Cable to the DEO in Metropolis. She took him into the lab and did a blood test on him. Brainiac 5 looked over the results. "You are...the mother," he told her dramatically.
"Damn," Alex realized.
"Sorry to disappoint," Cable said annoyed.
"I mean, I already have a son," Alex said confused. "What happens to him in the future?"
"I don't know. I never met him," Cable said.
"You're from the future. Is he talking out of his ass?" Alex asked Brainiac 5.
"My records from this time period are incomplete. I can neither confirm nor deny his account. It's also possible that our presence in this time has altered the timeline," Brainiac 5 admitted.
"We can sort this shit out later. Where's Juggernaut?" Alex asked.
"I have his location at Metropolis Mental Institute," Brainiac 5 said.
"Sungirl's first kill," Cable recalled.
"Let's move," Alex ordered her men.
Metropolis Suburbs
Kara went back to the bar and found James still there. "Don't be a bitch. Go see your sister," Kara scolded him.
"Alright, alright," James agreed.
Kara walked an obviously drunk James to his truck. "Drive safely, you hear," Kara told him.
"No problem," James nodded.
Kara watched James drive off with an unknown trepidation.
Metropolis
At Metropolis Mental Institute, Sungirl went on a revenge rampage blasting the door off and going inside lighting fires as she did. The DEO formed a perimeter around the building with police and firefighters on standby. Alex, Brainiac 5, and Cable confronted the Juggernaut outside the building.
"You shouldn't be here. If you die, I disappear," Cable said to her.
"Thanks for your concern, son, but this is my job," Alex rebuked him.
"Suit yourself. I prefer non-existence over the shit-hole the future will become," Cable shrugged. He aimed at the Juggernaut and fired a sonic blast that threw the giant into the side of the mental institute.
"That gun is amazing," Alex said impressed.
The Juggernaut quickly got back up. DEO agents open fired on the Juggernaut with automatic rifles with no success. Cable went for another shot when Juggernaut took his rifle away and then bitch-slapped him into a car. Brainiac 5 extended out cables that locked around Juggernaught's helmet. The Juggernaught took hold of the cables and slammed Brainiac 5 to the ground repeatedly. He then rammed a spike from a fence post straight through his head.
J'onn then landed on the scene. "I'm glad you're here," Alex said to him.
"I'll take care of him," J'onn said to her.
"He's pretty tough," Alex warned.
J'onn stood tall to the Juggernaut. "Do you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut...," he said. J'onn phased through his body and then materialized behind him with his heart in his hand. The Juggernaut then fell to the ground dead.
"Bitch," J'onn smirked tossing the heart aside.
Cable groaned as he got back up. He summoned his rifle back to him and went into the burning mental institute after Sungirl. "I'm not going in there," J'onn refused to Alex.
Alex saw Brainiac 5 out of commission with a fence pole still through his skull. "Shit," she realized and went inside with pistol drawn.
Cable followed the burn trail of Sungirl to the auditorium where she was about to burn the administrator to death. "He tortured me. He said I was evil," Sungirl said to Cable.
"I know," Cable said and then fired on the administrator killing him instantly.
Sungirl gave him a shocked look. "It always starts with your first kill," Cable said as he saw his teddy bear was no longer burnt. His arm then became human again as all of his cybernetics disappeared. "I guess this means you're not going to be a killer now."
Sungirl merely nodded. "I never hated you, not this version of you. I just loved my family more," Cable told her.
Alex entered and saw Cable's changed appearance. "Now what?" she asked putting her pistol away.
"I can go back but not forward in time. Can you freeze me?" Cable asked.
"Yeah," Alex nodded.
"Cool," Cable said pleased.
"What is your daughter's name?" Alex asked.
"Hope," Cable smiled.
Metropolis Suburbs
James drove along a county road towards Kelly and Alex's place. Suddenly an object slammed into the passenger side door of his truck shattering the window. James swerved on the road as he worked to regain control of the vehicle. The truck then suffered engine failure from the impact and stopped in the middle of the road.
"Well, that's just great," James said peeved. He couldn't call the cops to help him or else he would get busted for a DUI for sure.
James worked the ignition to restart the truck without success. "Come on, baby," he said to the truck. He then saw a kid in a red mask staring at him.
"The fuck?" he wondered.
The kid then floated above the road in front of him. James immediately touched his watch signaling for Kara. James then felt the back of his truck rising off the road. James held on as the truck was being tilted. The truck then came over the road completely suspended in the air.
"Come on, Kara. I need you," James said freaked out.
Connor slammed the truck back down. The steering wheel slammed into James' jaw severing it. The truck then fell upside down on the road. James regained consciousness and held his jaw from falling off with it loosely attached to the rest of his face. He was quickly drowning in his own blood. He looked out his broken windshield and saw Connor wearing a red mask and cape looking at him. Connor slowly pulled off his mask and dipped his right index finger in James' blood.
"You should have been nicer to Kelly," Connor said wagging his finger at James.
Connor then felt a breeze and quickly took off. Kara arrived on the scene and found James unconscious. "Holy shit," she realized.
She looked around for any possible threat and then blasted James with super-cold air to bring his body temperature down to a coma state. Brainiac 5 quickly arrived on the scene and analyzed the situation. "Will he live?" Kara asked seriously.
"In this century he wouldn't have," Brainiac 5 replied and then injected James with a Harun-El serum. Brainiac 5 then bandaged up James' head to keep his jaw in place.
"Who did this?" Brainiac 5 asked curiously
"Connor," Kara figured.
"I believe this experiment should come to an end," Brainiac 5 concluded.
"I don't want Alex to know it was me. Take care of it, please," Kara said sadly.
"Of course," Brainiac 5 agreed.
"Don't tell Alex and Kelly about this. It could tip them off to our intentions," Kara said.
Brainiac 5 eyed her. "You know me better than that."
Kara then flew James to Metropolis.
Metropolis
Lena was having a bitter drink when she felt a wind go through her office. "And what do you want?" she asked Supergirl.
"Help him," Kara said seriously with James in her arms.
Lena eyed James' condition. "Oh my God," she said stunned.
James was rushed into Lena's secret medical lab. Kara watched as Lena went to work putting monitoring equipment all over his body and injecting fluids into his body. "What the fuck happened?" Lena asked Kara.
"A mistake," Kara said and walked away.
Lena followed Kara as she was about to leave. "You kill the son-of-a-bitch that did this."
Kara nodded and then flew out.
