Supergirl Renegade Episode 2- Redeemable?This chapter marks the return of Supergirl Renegade. Thank you guys for your patience I will try to update as much as possible, but I've got myself swamped in so many fanfics and I'm also working on an original story for myself. XD Anyway. It's been a few years since I started this draft, I think. I am no longer a Minecrafter. I've outgrown it. But I am busy with other stories and stuff. But this is returning. And as you will see, I have a new writing style to accompany it.
*
The truck the DEO was using to transport Supergirl rocked side to side as it travelled over the rocky terrain. Inside, the young female Kryptonian slammed into the wall of the truck. She groaned in pain as she slowly began to wake up. Her hands were bound together by kryptonite handcuffs making the skin it was in contact reveal poisoned green veins.
Her feet were also in the same situation. J'onn must've wanted to be prepared for anything because there was also a red sun radiator that was weakening the former superhero. She sat up in confusion as she finally realized what was happening. She breathed in rapidly. Hyperventilation. She never was good in such an enclosed space. It made her feel weak. And in this case, it was forcing her to think clearly. To process the events of the day. Events that she caused.
Phantom claws gripped her stomach making her gag in fear as she remembered the smell of cooked flesh from when she nearly burned her sister alive. Then the memories of what she felt as she tried to kill her.
"Gaah!" she screamed trying to shake the memories.
She tried to get up but she moved too fast and ended up tripping on the cuffs that held her feet together. Supergirl crawled over to one of the truck's walls just as it passed over another bump and made her hit her head, hard. With her head swimming and her vision getting blurry she began to sob.
"What have I done!?!" she let out a gruelling scream. One filled with the demons of guilt and anger at herself. At what she did to her only sister. The only family she ever really had.
The breaks to the van were slammed tossing Supergirl all the way to the front with an awful bump. The sounds of doors slamming shut were followed by boots scraping the gravel outside. Whatever was happening, it was making the driver get out of the van.
Then the door to the area where Kara was being held captive opened up, shedding yellow sunlight inside. Big mistake. The sunlight was touching her skin and there was still some red Kryptonite in her system. It hadn't fully washed out yet.
"Kara!" Alex's voice of concern came from the shadow that was blocking part of the sunlight. Not enough to stop Kara from absorbing the radiation though. "Are you okay? I heard you cry out."
"Alex. We shouldn't be doing this," Winn warned nervously from behind the older sister.
"Shut up, Mr Schott. I only brought you here because your the only one who knows how to handle my sister aside from me," Alex climbed into the back much to the technician's dismay. J'onn had specifically told them to refrain from coming into contact with Kara until they had reached the DEO Headquarters so that they could put Kara into custody to avoid further confrontations.
The only thing that was keeping them out of trouble was the fact that the two had gone further on ahead from the rest of the Agents. But pretty soon they would be catching up and notice that they were disobeying orders.
Alex got closer to her adoptive sister and crouched over to hold her hands blocking the sunlight from reaching her in the process, "Are you okay Kara?"
Supergirl looked up to see the only other person to spend so much time with her so near to her face. The anger in her eyes disappeared quickly. She had been unable to rekindle the anger she once felt for her. Instead, her eyes softened and tears began to leak out. The red glow of the radiator made them appear like drops of blood.
"What did I do to you?" she choked.
Kara extended both her hands out to touch the scarred tissue that surrounded her eye with one of them. Alex tried her best not to flinch at the gentle touch. It burned but she was willing to take the pain in order to feel the warmth of her sister once more. Alex smiled and let out a soft laugh as she took Kara into her arms in a tight embrace. One that Kara returned to her delight.
"Ahem, sorry to interrupt, but we're going to have company," Winn warned as he caught sight of DEO trucks and vans in the distance of the desert against the skyline of the city.
"Yes, of course. We'll sort this out. I promise Kara," Alex said.
The moment Alex stepped out of the way from the sun, raw emotion poured through Kara once more. It was the last of the recharge that she needed. And Alex was unaware of what she had done.
In a feat of raw strength, Supergirl ripped apart the cuffs that had once bounded her and subjected her to anyone's will. Winn noticed everything before Alex did and as Supergirl stood up to break the cuffs on her feet too, he rushed up into the truck and pulled the DEO agent out of harm's way. Alex fell to the dusty floor under the truck and sprained her wrist on the rocks below. She looked up to witness in horror as Winn stood, mouth agape, and blood spilling from his mouth. Kara's hand had gone through his chest and she now had his still-beating heart in her fist.
The heart was still pumping, making blood spurt onto Alex's face as she screamed in anger. Kara let go of the organ and it fell to the floor with a sickening squish. Winn's body fell to the side as she took her hand out of his chest. Kara then proceeded to pick up the van above her head demonstrating how useless the red sun radiation was now.
Alex pulled out her gun and held it with shaking hands in front of her in an attempt to defend herself. But Kara didn't pay any attention to her. She just tossed the van in the direction of the squad of agents coming their way. The van hit its intended target and crushed another vehicle under its weight in a sickening crunch that was barely audible from their distance.
"Gullible, like always," Kara laughed at Alex. "You know, that was supposed to be you, Alex. You allowed someone else die for you. Have fun thinking about that in your last remaining seconds of life that I'll allow you," she motioned to the organ on the floor next to the body of her former friend. It had finally ceased its activity, giving up on keeping something alive that would no longer be connected to it.
"I refuse to believe that you were just pretending, Kara. I know that what you felt back there was real. I felt it. I still feel it. Just please stop this insanity. Come back to me."
"Even if what happened back there was real, it was just weakness. Disgusting, petty, weakness. It was so human" - she spit on the floor in disgust - "Just like you. And I'm not human."
Her eyes began to burn with dark purple light, much different to the regular colour of heat vision Kara used before. Things were changing in her, fast. And this all just happened in a day and a few hours of having red kryptonite in her system. It was scary for Alex to imagine what more could happen if she remained the same even longer.
Before the heat vision could exit her eyes, a Batarang dropped out of the sky and hit Kara in the head detonating upon impact and unleashing a green gas. The Kryptonian wheezed and gasped as she breathed it in for a bit before using her super breath to expunge her lungs from the impurities of the kryptonite gas and removing it from the air around her.
She looked around in anger trying to find the Bat that had thrown that. For a moment there was nothing in sight that gave away the position of her enemy. The DEO agents were still far enough away. But then there was a shimmer in the air. She flew into the area and slammed her shoulder into the space tossing Batman into the ground with a sound of pain.
"What did you do Alex?" The Bat groaned.
"I thought that she was back to normal. I heard her scream in pain but I didn't know that she would be able to regain strength by just a few moments in the sunlight. It's my fault Winn is dead."
Batman turned on the rockets and propelled himself forward on the ground before Supergirl could land a punch on him. The floor where he was in previously now had a big hole with Kara's fist in it. She pulled her fist out along with a chunk of the floor and tossed it at Batman who was able to deftly dodge it.
"It's not your fault. I forgot to warn you that the synthetic Kryptonite allows a Kryptonian to synthesise yellow sun radiation faster than normal.
"It was a mistake I overlooked." Batman rocketed into the air in order to gain momentum for the punch he was aiming at the Kryptonian's jaw. His gloves slammed into her and knocked her to the ground making it split open with crevices.
"Thanks for the Tip," Supergirl smiled. "Now let me try out an idea of my own," she used her superhuman speed to grab Batman's ankle before he could react and punched the air as hard as she could.
Visibly she was just punching the air. Something that wouldn't seem like much to the naked eye. But at the subatomic level, her action was causing both nuclear fusion and fission. Something impossible to achieve without any tools or preparation. But she was able to do it in just one try. Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, every atom was fusing with each other and the kinetic energy that she had produced was exciting other particles to the point where they caused nuclear fission. All of that combined with each other and with the help of the effects of the synth Kryptonite, they all worked together to produce a breach in space and time.
"Goodbye, little man."
"NOOO!!" Batman screamed as he was tossed into the thing.
The breach closed up as soon as he went through completely leaving no trace of his existence behind except for the fight that had taken place prior.
"Now where were we?" Supergirl grinned at Alex who was now cowering in her shadow.
Her eyes grew dark purple once more and again before she could shoot it out several plasma shots slammed her into the ground accompanied with some Martian Heat Vision. This was a major case of deja vu.
"For real?!" Supergirl asked before vanishing into the sky with a Sonic Boom.
"Are you alright Alex?" J'onn came to Alex's side to help her up.
"Yeah, just a little shaken."
-Citizens of National City, this is Cat Grant, live from Catco Plaza. If you are watching this right now, please get somewhere safe to hear the rest of what I am about to tell you. As you all know, I have been Supergirl's most outspoken champion. Praising her for everything that she's done. From the most minuscule act of saving a stray cat from a tree. To the most heroic act of saving us from burning buildings and robberies.-
-So, you can imagine how difficult it is for me to tell you that I, and Catco, can no longer stand behind Supergirl. I made you trust her. I gave you my word that she was safe, a friend. An ally that would stand by us in the darkest of times. I was wrong. Supergirl has changed. She is unstable and extremely dangerous. As you all know, late last night, she threw me off the CatCo building and was willing to let me fall to my death. I was saved by a hero. A man in black. He fought valiantly against her and brought her down to be chained. But she managed to escape. He is. He has been announced as MIA. And not only that, but she has also murdered a former employee of mine in cold blood. Mister Winslow Schott Jr. I am sorry for convincing you all to trust such an abomination. And if Supergirl is watching this. Watch out. Our heroes will come after you and bring you to Justice.-
-It's not easy being let down by our idols. Having someone who embodies our heroic ideals, helps us believe that we can be heroes, too. Someone who we would think would be there for us always. But, sometimes…heroes fall. So, please, for your own safety, stay away from Supergirl. Okay, that's enough. Turn it off. Play it on a loop.-
