1 week later...
A spacecraft launches itself in style of landing on one big platform. A wasteland.
The hatch opens to set on foot for Kara and Oliver. Both dressed in their respective outfits.
"This is what it looks like. A wasteland full of garbage. All I see is dust to perish beneath me". Her eyes flow in favour of red. Ready to disintegrate everything that bothers her. Oliver stopped her from committing it through evidence via his holographic map from his suit that there is life forms in this planet. "So there are life forms. They're just hiding like pussies".
"Exactly. And do you know what we do to weak life forms when we seek information?", Oliver plays though Kara already knew it.
"We interrogate them". Kara answered. "With torture should they keep it from us".
"That's what I like to hear", Oliver fleshes into a deep smile.
The two move on forward. Their arms tangled with juices they could spring out any given second should something erupt from the inside.
The planet reminiscent that of Earth's desert. This planet's more covered over it. There are desert-shaped canyons, mountains, hills, everything Earth had in a shape of utopia but recoloured with desert's features.
The wind was so strong that any second any human being could fall. Oliver waists a powered suit. Same goes for Kara. Both dons powers that times their strength of tens.
Dozens of times times over each other pass in metres. By now the two could've sworn they've reached millions. Would've been a long time but Kara's speed got the best of them.
They were about to cross a another million distances but an unknown hurdle wants to cleave their new prey. And that happened to settle well for a Kryptonian and a human. Both whom slightly lost balance but redone it.
This creature images itself to be a sandstorm monster.
"Someone wants to play Ollie", Kara talks in a blustering way. Her body electrifies surges of strength.
"You're right. He does want to play", the man who steadies his bow follows in agreement.
Dark Arrow shot four arrows. Each set in order. First was tranquilliser, to weaken their opponent. Second was poisonous, to poison him to near-death. Last two were explosive arrows. Each force rivals a ton of times more effective that any grenade an army uses in their war. This strategy left the creature's head in parts. It's body towers on Oliver prompting the Girl of Steel to pull him out. For a save.
"You're getting way better at this?"
The ground shook beneath them. Sand storm creatures rise. Tens. Probably twenties. Possibly even thirties.
When Oliver caught sight of them, his heart excites in flames.
"Here's your chance honey", Oliver motions his wife to do the honours.
Kara stands like a school girl. Fists pressed on her hips. "Too tired to take them out", Kara teases. "I'm sure taking out one creature didn't drain you out".
The man in black had to chuckle. Her tease strengthens Oliver's gut to keep going. "You're right. This isn't my best". Oliver lurches himself into a stance but actually had another thought. "I have another idea. Team up". One way Kara smiles upon. Individual fights lead to their downfall. Team ups give them the benefit.
Kara tangles her arms onto Oliver waist. Whilst Oliver freshens his bow to a maximum hit of 20 explosive arrows. Thanks to his suit, Oliver's arrows are infinite. Not just his suit but his bow too. Oliver's bow can hold capacities 20 arrows. Nothing can be wasted. Many would be believe it to be the impossible. But Darkseid made the impossible happen.
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
Kara blurs in thin air. A blur no beast could catch sight of. It was all too fast. Using this as a rare opportunity, Oliver speed bolts his 20 arrows whilst his oppositions stare blankly in thin air.
A timer was set the moment Oliver shot them. Each embedded in set for 20 seconds due to the air resistance that slows those bombs.
Right after it hit 20, arrows were pinned on them. Detonation expires. The mix-up of 20 explosive arrows was enough to engulf every worm-shaped creature in waves. This wide blast rivals that of Superman's 70% outburst of deadly heat vision. Closely.
Oliver and Kara enjoyed the scene. Their team up resulted in creating a big pit widened to a size of about the same diameter as the largest diameter an Earthling can hold of a sphere.
No what's next? They move on. They survived this outcry and beaten it. All that's left is searching for Darkseid's prize.
10 minutes later...
Pair spot a temple that resides life body guards. Viewed from their stand by the cliff.
"Seems the schematics shows truth that aside from those worms back there, there are figures that aren't mindless. Added with getting our prize". Hearing the beats from low life forms grinds her smile even deeper. Same thing Oliver throws. "Ready".
"I'm more than ready. I am set for my share of taste", Oliver licks.
"Good".
Oliver jumps down in a steeper slope. Bumps that shake his body never phased the latter in any shape. His control is constant. Using this time, Oliver flicks from his bow a few pointy arrows that darts on each life form's thyroid. Putting them to motionless shifts. No movement. Just what the man in bow expected.
On the other hand, Supergirl still stands on the cliff. As she gave Oliver the head start of taking on two weaklings.
Supergirl jumps out from her point in cliff down in flight immediately after Dark Arrow killed two.
Oliver turns his back around to clip on his wife, whom glowed her eyes. The latter stings a blow on a temple guardian that was close to striking a blow with Oliver with his sphere-shaped hammer.
"Knew he was behind me. I was giving you a shot".
"Really?"
"I was. Doesn't a man have to give something up for his wife?". Kara shears her teasing into a dark smile.
"Always finding a way to get me to feel happy"
As the two finished exchanging their tinsels, they went inside the entrance of the temple.
The two continue to pace through an old corridor so silent even Kara's super hearing couldn't catch anything.
"Batman mentioned there are traps in this temple. They could throw anything at us"
"Like weaknesses?"
"Like weaknesses"
A booby trap is set in play after Kara stepped on one panel. A giant brick oscillates from the corner to Oliver and Kara's point. Kara phases in front as the stone rams a force on her, which slows down due to Kara's strength. But what the latter didn't twig on was the stone shatters its layer. Revealing Kryptonite.
Oliver pulls her wife back in driven force. Quickly needles on 4 explosive arrows that shattered the stone in smithereens. Batman was right about one thing. Traps like these can kill even god-like strength beings using their own weakness. Oliver was feared for her life. Its like the temple can tell from their coming appearance in specie.
Kara drives back up as the two move on forward with Kara approaching their last conversation that got interrupted.
"Well we can push back to assist if the other gets tangled up in this wretch's trap"
Oliver stops from pacing any further. Pressing Kara from going forward.
"Kara our goal is to sacrifice whatever lies inside of us for a completed task for Darkseid to achieve. Sometimes you just have to let the only that lasts in your heart go". Before Kara was about shoot back, Oliver stutters on forward. "I won't sacrifice you Kara. I love you with all my heart. So if we ever get into danger, I'll be the one who will sacrifice myself free you from your entanglement".
Kara's face branches a terrified pissed look. "That isn't how we express love Oliver", Kara reminds. Whilst walking away in sad emotions. Before she continued to go on forward, she gave him an eyed look. "And do you think sacrificing yourself will put me in any better shape. No. Because I'll never be the same without you".
'never be the same without you', that line repeated his head countless times. Oliver deeps his eyebrows. He does follow Kara's side. But at the same time he follows Darkseid's. And under his line, sacrifices are made. But Kara, on the other than, doesn't. She doesn't allow those she loves die on her. Even though she still holds a darkness inside of her.
"Let's go!". Kara shouts which recoils Oliver from thoughts.
The two progress their path. Not seeing eye to eye. They both regretted what they said. And they want make up and kiss. But a part of them holds it all back. Ahead lies nothing but stones. Ancient scripts from centuries ago. Old and dusty artifacts. Everyone the two notice in sight. Though totally not bothered with toying with them. Crossing through routes suggests that they're in a maze where they can't get out. Went on like 5 minutes. Kara already applied her use of x-ray vision but to no avail did it get them anywhere.
"This place is more organised with its traps and ways of preventing people from crossing a short bridge". Oliver elevates his arm up for a holographic map. "Even our systems aren't working. Seems the powers of Darkseid don't run really well under these lengths of pressure".
"Then how do we a cross a short route if we don't know our way around. We've been bridging this shit for 10 minutes".
"Hold on", Oliver bars her from speaking any further. "I'm not a smart-ass but doesn't logic seem to be the key in this barbaric maze". Even Kara just realised. All this time she's been relying on her powers. "Powers don't determine our way through any complications. Our brains do".
Oliver motions Kara to check on old scripts. To see if there has any hint to their game. Maybe a riddle.
"Ah I think I know the catch", Kara casts. Oliver's gotta rate her brilliance. She's a ton of times a top a different League than him. All Oliver does is shoot arrows from a bow.
The duo break into a passage they calculatedly predicted. One to the room. A room that rims large portraits of fallen warriors who wielded this power.
The double forts into the shadows. Crossing halfway the room that gulfs in forms of tiny blizzards. A chest is set before them.
"Do you see what I see?"
Oliver grins. His cute face made Kara smile in admit. They may have rough fights. But they still have feelings for each other.
"Let's open it up Kara". Oliver gestures Kara to do the honours. Kara accepted her chance.
Chest's top layer lifted up. A shiny source shading its white colour on Kara and Oliver's skin. So bright.
"Thank you for reminding me to use my head instead of my fists. Oliver"
"It's fine. No need to thank me. You're the one with the brains", Oliver compliments. Making Kara blush.
Girl in suit arises to a stand.
"I'm sorry for what I said earlier back then. It was wrong for me go all mad at you. I'm just-". A finger withers on her mouth. Stopping her from expressing her sorrow and feeling.
"You don't have to apologise Kara. No matter what happens between the two of us, I will always be by your side. I won't follow Darkseid's reign without my beautiful wife in my hands". Oliver lends his hands onto Kara's. Tendering her in soft way. "Let's get back with this. I'm sure Darkseid will be pleased for what we've accomplished for him".
Kara agreed as the latter sped them along with this white orb back where they came from.
