Part 15

After showing Cat Grant the footage the media mogul was seeing red. She was even more angry when she had been told that the young woman that was receiving the worst of the torcher was a close friend of Kara Danvers who Bruce knew that Cat knew was Supergirl. That while it was true the young woman had gone through several months where she did hurt people with her powers but had since repented and been fighting the good fight. Protecting the people of Central City and the world from those that wanted to destroy them.

"Bruce who is order this done to Caitlin Snow?" asked Cat

"The director of MARA is a woman named Iris West. The ex wife of Barry Allen."

"The Flash. Yes I know who he is just like I know that you are Batman. No need to worry I have no interest in telling anyone those things. Now it seems to me that Ms. West hates Ms. Snow."

"Actually it's Dr. Snow. The woman has a medical degree as well as at least two PhDs. But you are right she has a grudge against Dr. Snow. It dates back to when Dr. Snow was struggling to deal with her newly emerged powers. Dr. Snow for a short time joined up with an evil speedster called Savitar who wanted to kill Ms. West. Though in the end Dr. Snow couldn't change her true nature. That is she is no killer."

"Bruce, I can expose what Lex Luthor and Iris West for how they are treating the detainees."

"Cat, they are not detainees. They are prisoners. Dr. Snow never asked to be a meta, or did Supergirl ask to be sent here when her planet died. MARA is treating these people like the Nazis treated Jews and Homosexuals during the Holocaust. Right now they may be prisoners. But eventually they will start killing those with powers. It is my belief that metas maybe the next step in human evolution. While yes there are some that are dangerous and use their powers to commit crimes, the law abiding ones should not be held without cause."

"I agree with you Bruce. I will do what I can. But you need to talk to the president about reforming this law."

"He is my next stop."

Kara groaned as she woke in a cell bathed in red light. She felt weak nearly as weak as she did back when that psychopath Thawne was going to steal her heart for her evil doppleganger from Earth-X.

"Nice to see you awake Kara. By the way welcome to hell. I should have stayed on Mars with the rebel fighters." Said a familiar voice.

Kara looked to see M'gann M'orzz the White Martian that started to fight her own race to right the wrongs against the Green Martians. In another cell she saw Lyra Strayd who had come from Starhaven. There were a few others that she recognized from the alien bar.

"M'gann? When did you come back to Earth?"

"A couple months ago. Unfortunately for me I was captured by these people. Makes those cells back at the DEO look nice and comfortable."

"This is just great. Lex and that bitch set a trap for us."

"Mind catching me up on what is going on?"

"What the Kryptonian is saying is that it is basically illegal of anyone that has powers to live any kind of life. Alien and metahumans are forced to register with the government. If you don't you get rounded up and thrown into one of these cells. You are subjected to tests and they will force you to round up others. That is what they are doing to some ice meta from what I hear." Said Lyra

"The ice meta you are referring to is a close friend of mind. Caitlin is being blackmailed and they are using a mind control tapeworm on her." Said Kara

"Well it's not like I can do anything to clear her mind. There is something blocking my powers." Said M'gann

Kara sighed and sat on her cot.

Cisco groaned as he woke up. He looked around and noticed he was in a cell not much different then the cells in the pipeline at STAR labs. He noticed that Deadbolt, Double Down and Mirror Master were locked in cells.

"Nice to see you awake Ramon."

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hartley Rathaway.

"What are you doing here Rathaway?" asked Cisco

"Because that crazy bitch your buddy Allen married decided that I should be locked up because I help you guys out from time to time."

"You aren't a meta!"

"No but my gloves qualify me as a powered individual."

"We didn't know about that part."

"Well I am surprised that Iris West hasn't had Snow killed yet. She really hates Caitlin."

"Yeah well we know that much now. She was using Caitlin to set a trap for Barry, Supergirl and me. Well she will be in for it when Superman and Batman come to take her down."

Batman easily made his way into the resistance of the White House through a window. He dropped in right behind the President.

"Mr. President we need to talk." Said Batman

The President turned and was surprised to find himself face to face with Gotham's Dark Knight.

"How did you get in here? I'm calling security."

"Not until we talk. It is about the people you put in charge of MARA. They are abusing prisoners."

"Ms. West and Mr. Luthor would never do that."

Batman looked closer and that was when he noticed the alien worm attached to the President. He reached up with a small spray bottle sprayed the worm and pulled it off. The President blinked and nearly lost his balance but Batman steadied him.

"Batman? How did you get in here?"

"It doesn't matter. I have some footage from inside the MARA detention center."

Batman plugged the flash drive into the Presidents laptop computer and played the footage. The President went pale at the treatment he was seeing.

"This is Shawna Baez also known as Peekaboo. A meta that can teleport. She is a criminal though she has kept a mostly low profile since the meta serial killer Cicada was on the lose in Central City. The shock she is being given in one of the lower voltages."

"What about this other one? The one that is being shocked twice as high as the other one?"

"Dr. Caitlin Snow. She also is known as Frost formally Killer Frost, though she never truly lived up to that name. Ms. West hates Dr. Snow. When Dr. Snow first came into her powers they controlled her rather then the other way around. She aided the speedster Savitar. But in the end she helped the Flash stop him. She reformed and has aided the heroes ever since."

"This is unacceptable."

"I have a list of agents from both ARGUS and the DEO that I recommend aid Superman and a few others in a raid of the center."

"Do it. I will make sure you get the people you need. Lex Luthor and Iris West are to be arrested to face charges of abuse of prisoners."

"Thank you Mr. President."

Batman left. Once he was off the White House grounds he turned his com on.

"Oracle do we have a location?"

"Yes. Clark, Kate and the Legends will meet you there."

"Good. The President is with us. Send word to the agents we cleared to work with us."

"On it."
