Chapter 4
Washington DC
Superwoman grits her teeth as Silver Banshee screams in her face, her ears were ringing, and she could barely keep her eyes open from the intense force. She had to move, she felt the ground they were on crack, thinking fast Superwoman raised her fist and punched the ground. With this and Banshee's scream, they both fell through the roof onto the floor below, this caught Banshee by surprise as she stopped screaming and fell with Superwoman onto the floor. Superwoman the quickly got to her feet and rushed the rising Banshee nailing her in the cheek with a cross that sent her head to the side. But Banshee reacted quickly kicking out her leg into Superwoman's abdomen making her bend over. Banshee prepared another scream only for Superwoman to grab her chin and force her head up blowing another hole in the roof. Superwoman the rammed her knee into Banshee's gut making her gag and bend over, Superwoman then wrapped her arm around her head and ran backward plowing Banshee's head into a wall. Superwoman then let go of her head and grabbed a hand full of her white hair pulling her head out, she then trapped Banshee in a bear hug just tight enough to give her some trouble breathing and took off through the hole in the roof.
Superwoman began to fly higher and higher into the sky insanely fast. But she then remembered Batman, she looked down to where he landed and scanned the area. She found him near the Washington Memorial along with a bunch of Ice. Captain Cold, Killer Frost, Mr. Freeze, Icicle (wow there were a lot of ice villains) all of them surrounding Batman he seems to be holding his own pretty. Then the communicator in her ear went off.
"Little busy at the moment." Superwoman speaks into the device
"When you're not, Bring the Heat!" Batman spoke through the device
Superwoman finally reached the lower atmosphere the air was thin, she was used to it, but Banshee wasn't. With the crushing bear hug and the thin air, she was losing oxygen fast, she let out a gasp before passing out. Superwoman released the hold grabbing her arm to keep her from falling. Superwoman then slung Banshee over her shoulder and took off back to Earth her eyes glowing red, she saw Batman was now trapped in the ice with the villains ready to finish him off. Superwoman unleashed her heat vision in a rapid-fire blast hitting the four villains knocking them unconscious. She then melted Batman free as she landed on the ground and dropped Banshee.
"You all right?" Superwoman asks
"Better than them." Batman says looking at the Villains
"Banshee's out, can you keep it that way?" Superwoman asks as Batman walks over to the KO'd Banshee
"Hypersonics. Effective even on metahumans. If she tries anything, this will drive her scream right back at her." Batman says putting a small device on her neck
"You ever realize how many Villains use the same gimmick?" Superwoman asks
"Nothing's ever original." Batman says simply
"I know, but still, I'm pretty sure I can't 5 more who used ice. And don't even get me started on the ones ripping off the Riddler and-." Superwoman says
Superwoman heads jolts up as her hearing picks up something moving through the fog that was made when she melted the ice.
"We got more company." Superwoman
"Everyone wants that bounty. Who are we dealing we?" Batman asks
"Two heavy hitters." Superwoman says
And as she said that something burst through the fog and tackled Superwoman away. Superwoman landed on her back, and the figure grabbed her leg, spun her around, and then threw her across the reflecting pool towards the Lincoln Memorial. Superwoman fell before the Stairs, just as the figure landed before Superwoman. The Hero looked up to see a woman who was a foot taller than her and had a very muscular build. She had long orange hair that was done in a ponytail and held by a bone, freckles on her cheeks, and a pointed nose. She wore a two-piece that seemed to be made from some kind of fur the top having a single strap over her shoulder and her bottom looking like a loincloth.
"Sally Savage knew you wouldn't turn down a chance like this." Superwoman says
The woman simply stared at her with angry eyes
"Sally?" Superwoman said slightly worried
Sally then grabbed Superwoman's head slamming it to the ground, she then lifted her up and kicked her into the memorial. Superwoman bounced off the stairs and into the Hall stopping herself in midair, so she didn't hit the statue. Sally then jumped at her trying to Tackle her, but Superwoman caught her in midair and threw her to the ground onto her face. Superwoman then dropped herself down driving her elbow onto Sally back getting a pained yell from her. Superwoman then rolled to her feet getting some distance from Sally who got up glaring at her. Superwoman took her battle stance as Sally charged her, the two locked hands and began to push against each other for dominance. The ground underneath them cracked as they did, Superwoman grunting as she struggled. But she quickly noticed that Sally wasn't making any sounds and was just staring at her. Sally then fired knee to Superwoman's body making her gag, at the same moment she moved both her hands to one of Superwoman's arms and began to twist it. Superwoman grunted as she tried to break free only for Sally to fire and elbow to the back of her shoulder with a great THUD. For an average person their arm would've flown off from the blow, but Superwoman could take it though it did hurt.
Superwoman kicked her leg back into Sally's making her stumble and then fires an elbow freeing herself. She turns around, and fires punch at Sally only for the giantess to parry her strike and grab her arm. Sally then sends a chop to Superwoman's neck getting another gag from her and pulls her in firing another punch to the back of her shoulder.
"This isn't Sally's fighting style. She is focusing on one part of my body when she usually doesn't really care what she hits. And this is too stationary for her she would try to send me flying, circle me, and attack. And most of all she's not saying anything she should be talking about how she's gonna get the money, or how this time she'll win, or about some cute cat she found in an alley. What's going on here?" Superwoman thought as Sally fires another elbow to her shoulder
Superwoman yells as she flies out of the memorial bringing Sally along, Superwoman then slams her to the ground making her let go. Superwoman then took her arm and threw her across the reflecting pool to the center. Sally picks herself up out of the water only to be engulfed in an icy blue mist. Sally instantly was encased in a massive chunk of ice, Superwoman hung overhead with a sigh and then looked ahead to see Batman fighting Shiva and had just knocked her out.
"Sally was targeting my shoulder with multiple hits, and she's not her usual talkative self." Superwoman says rolling her shoulder
"Well, Grundy was talkative and sounding like William F. Buckley." Batman says
"Think we're dealing with some kind of mind control?" Superwoman asks
Just then Sally bursts from the ice shattering it, she grabs a massive chunk and throws it at Superwoman. Superwoman pushes Batman out of the way and catches the chunk, she skids back a bit but stops and prepares to throw it back. But from behind a massive fist made of shadows hit Superwoman sending her out of the pool.
"Nightshade!" Batman said turning to face the villainess
"Even the lesser ones have some value when their powers are put to the proper use." Nightshade says with a grin as she forms a massive hand to keep Superwoman pinned down
"I know that speech pattern." Batman says getting ready to fight, but Sally came from behind and grabbed him trapping him in a bear hug
"If drowning isn't working let's go right to squishing!" Sally says with an evil grin as she begins to crush Batman getting a pained yell from him
"I'm not going to fall for the same cowl trick again Batman!" Sally says as she continues to crush him
"Says-you!" Batman grunts as he brings his head forward
And then from the back of his cowl two wires shoot out and go into Sally's mouth connecting with the roof of it. Then electricity began to surge from the cables into her mouth making her eyes widened as she screamed out in pain letting Batman go and stumbling back falling onto her back as the wires detached. Superwoman was struggling against the shadowy hand trying to break free, but she could feel the solar energy in her cells being drained. But at the moment she was less focused on escaping and was looking for something, and she just found it.
"Up-on the memorial!" Superwoman yells to Batman pointing to the Washington Memorial
Batman looked up and saw what she saw.
"Grodd! How'd you know?" Batman asks
"The same idea as you, find a telepath. Heard and strange heartbeat, Gorilla. Bring him down!" Superwoman says as Batman fires his grapple it wrapping around the gorilla's neck
"Pull!" Batman says giving Superwoman the grapple
"YOU WANNA BE LUTHOR'S BOY, GRODD?! WELL GUESS WHAT?!" Superwoman yells as she pulls on the wire and pulls Grodd off the memorial and towards her
"I AM SICK-OF LEX-LUTHOR!" Superwoman yells as she punches the Gorilla in the face sending him flying back
Once Grodd was KO'd Nightshade was broken from her control confused at where she was, only for Batman to knock her out with some gas. Sally was the same rising from the water coughing up smoke and water pulling the wires out of her mouth.
"Uh-wha-Where am I?" Sally stammers
"Washington DC." Batman says
"Uuuum." Sally says confused
"Hi, Sally." Superwoman says getting her attention
"Hi…... why does my mouth hurt and taste like burnt meat?" Sally asks
"That's nothing you need to worry about." Superwoman says before conking her on the head and knocking her out.
"I actually felt bad about doing that when we're not fighting, she is really nice." Superwoman says dragging her out of the water, so Sally didn't drown
"Yeah, you tell me that every time you two do fight." Batman says
"Cause she is." Superwoman says simply
"Yeah, I know." Batman replies
"Also, were surrounded." Superwoman says simply
"I know." Batman responds
Just then from the tree's a massive crowd of Villains appear. Superwoman goes through the list in her head. Deadshot, Copper head, Giganta, Black Manta, Catman (I wonder what's Selina doing now?), Black Spider, Cheetah (Two from wonder woman dang), then she suddenly stops staring at one giant villain made of fire.
"Hey who's that one?" Superwoman asks
"Not really important right now." Batman says
"I remember fighting him before I just can't get his name. I feel like it'll be rude if he talks to me or something. Was it singe?" Superwoman asks
"Brimstone." Batman replies
"BRIMSTONE! That's it thank you." Superwoman says relieved
"I suppose it'll be useless to tell you to leave." Batman says
"Oh yeah, I'm not missing out on this." Superwoman says with a grin
"Your funeral." Batman replies
"Already had one." Superwoman shoots back with a sweet smile
"Don't remind me." Batman groans
And with that, the Villains charged at the world's finest ready to take their bounty. But the heroes were prepared as Batman threw down a smoke Grenade covering them and the area in smoke. Both went back to back as Superwoman used her X-ray to seek out the oncoming villains through the smoke and Batman using his in-cowl scanner. One came from the front trying to punch Superwoman only for her to dip under it and hit him with an uppercut that sent him flying. Black Manta then charged firing his laser at her which she took, and easily powered through hitting him with a hook that sent him to the ground. Copperhead then jumped on her back trying to choke her out only for her to easily throw him off. Superwoman quickly checked on Batman who had just knocked out Killer Shark and was engaging Bane. She promptly refocused as she dodged a punch from Despero and fired her heat vision to his chest sending him back. She then shot the same beam upward knocking away another villain. Batman had just kicked Deadshot sending him towards Superwoman as she picked him up and threw him at another villain. Superwoman was then overtaken by a massive shadow and quickly dodged an oncoming foot from Giganta. Superwoman flew upwards avoiding a swipe at her and delivered a punch to the Giantesses chin knocking her out and sending her to the ground.
Superwoman and Batman readied themselves as more villains surrounded them all of them wanting a piece of her bounty. They were ready to keep going until Superwoman heard something from above, she looked up and smiled.
"Atom!" Superwoman said happily
And indeed, Captain Atom was above them and released a massive energy wave that sent the villains close enough flying back. Superwoman stood in front of Batman blocking him from the wave. Soon along with Captain Atom, more heroes descended, Power Girl, Major Force, as well as Starfire, Katana, and Black Lightning. Seeing that these were some heavy hitters, the villains began to disperse running away from the Heroes. Superwoman smiles as she saw the other heroes and started to walk forward.
"Captain Atom, thanks for-." Superwoman says extending her hand only for Batman to grab her shoulder stopping her a serious look on his face.
"They aren't here to help." Batman says
"I have a federal warrant for your arrest, Superman." Captain Atom says seriously
"Told you." Batman says simply
"I really hate when your right…. Which is a lot." Superwoman says with a groan
"Just come quietly, we don't want this to get messy." Atom says
"I do." Major force says with a grin
"Nathaniel, it's me! You don't actually believe what Luthor is spouting about the meteor? If it were true Power Girl, Supergirl, heck even Krypto would be experiencing the same thing" Superwoman pleads
"I'm just doing my duty Superwoman. Look, this isn't my decision to make. It's the courts." Atom says
"Court's? This is Luthor's vendetta." Batman growls
"Listen this isn't about me or this arrest we have bigger problems at hand, the meteor. I promise to turn myself in, but we need to deal with that first!" Superwoman says pointing to the sky
"You don't need to anything that scumbag says." Batman says with visible anger
"We need to be smart, any move I make will affect the league and other heroes across the country." Superwoman says
"Power Girl, are you really going to let this happen?" Batman says glaring at Power Girl as she shamefully looked away
"She has to, we all have to. Luthor is the president and what he says goes." Atom says seriously
"I know your duty-bound Nathaniel, I promise I will turn myself in and solve this in the court of law. But right now, we all need to work together to stop this thing please." Superwoman asks getting a serious glare from Batman
"Superwoman you are under arrest, Batman if you attempt to aid her in any way, we'll be forced to take you down as well. Now, are you coming or not?" Atom says his fist clenched
"… I'm sorry." Superwoman says disappointed
"You are one stupid bi-." Major force says but is stopped when Batman shoots some gunk at his face stopping in from talking
"Now we can leave!" Superwoman says as Batman throws down a smoke Grenade once again covering them.
Superwoman goes low, and Batman goes high throwing more grenades at the heroes obscuring their vision. Superwoman gets behind them as Batman vaults off of Black Lightning towards her. She prepared to catch him only for one of Starfire's blasts to send her back. Superwoman rolled across the ground but came to her feet as Starfire burst from the smoke towards her. Batman was engaging Katana, so Superwoman took towards the sky Starfire following.
"I don't want to hurt you, Kori!" Superwoman pleads
"Neither do I, so please surrender!" Starfire says as she fires more bolts at her
"WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS TO SOLVE!" Superwoman yells dodging the blasts until Starfire fires a beam at her forcing Superwoman to counter with her Heat vision
The two beams clash and explode on contact, with the explosion masking her Superwoman takes off through it and tackles Starfire. She brings her to the ground but doesn't slam her instead throwing her at Black Lightning who was firing at Batman sending the two to the ground.
"LOOK OUT!" Power Girl yells at Superwoman getting her attention as she dodges Captain Atom's beam
She looks at Power girl who was covering her mouth with an embarrassed look on her face. Captain Atom then charges at her and the two-grapple trying to push the other back. Atom however quickly elbows the side of Superwoman's head making her grunt and stumble followed up with an uppercut that sent her flying back. She landed before the reflecting pool and as she stood up Major Force who removed the gunk charged her and tackled her into the water. Major force pinned Superwoman down and then began unloading vicious hooks onto her face. She lets out a grunt with each blow that knocked her head from left to right as her vision started getting blurry. After 8 punches Major force's hand was stopped by Power Girl.
"That's enough, we're trying to bring her in not beat her to a coma!" Power girl says
"She can take it!" Major force yells back
"Yeah…. I can." Superwoman groans who grabs Major forces arm and punches him away
She gets to her feet and faces Kara who had her fists raised but also had an uncertain look on her face. Superwoman looks at her sympathetically before taking off into the sky. She then began to fly around the group at high speeds becoming a red blur and creating a red tornado. All the heroes were forced off their feet as they were caught in the Super-Vortex and spun inside it. Superwoman continued to do this but was also looking for something. First was Batman who she caught quickly, the next was Power Girl who she also found. With both in tow, Superwoman took off towards the sky in a blur leaving the others behind.
She flew far and fast all the way to Metropolis. The landed atop a building Superwoman letting Batman go. Power Girl, however, let out a surprised gasp wrenching free from Superwoman's grip. Power girl threw a punch at Superwoman which she caught followed by another.
"Kara, please." Superwoman says simply looking in her eyes
Kara swallowed a lump in her throat and then sighed letting her arms fall to her side
"Okay, let's talk." Superwoman says gently taking her shoulders with a soft smile
(Note: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I always enjoy writing some fun action. I always seem to write it quicker than dialogue. And You probably are wondering who Sally Savage is, well she's an Original Villain I made for this AU. I'm not gonna be filling this AU with OC's but she's one I really wanted to do. I have plans for a story explaining her origins and her appearing in more stories in the future, but for now let me give ya some fun Facts about her.
1) Sally Savage aka Sally Selby was a small frail Lexcorp Secretary who was constantly belittled and step on by her boss a scientist at Lexcorp. She held a deep resentment to those who mocked her, but is to shy and nervous to do anything about it holding it all in. She dreams of becoming big and strong, showing everyone what she's made of. Then one day the scientist was working on a experiment to make Super-humans for Lex and through a accident Sally is bathed in a genetic ray that alters her body giving her enhanced speed, strength, and durability.
2) Sally Savage is Superwoman's first female Villain. She came around when Superwoman started to really get make a name for herself. She was already keeping an eye on Luthor, fought John Corben (pre-Metallo), the Parasite, and Toyman. She's a long staying member of Superwoman's rogues gallery.
3) I based Sally off of Titania (a she-hulk villain) and Scorpia (She-Ra 2018). She has a rivalry with Superwoman wanting to beat her and prove she's the strongest woman on Earth. But she also is a bit of a goof and a sweetheart, just don't get on her bad side because she will not hesitate to break you in half. She doesn't actually commit robberies or crimes, she's the person other criminals hire to keep the police or whatever superhero is in the area off their backs.
That will be it for Sally, for now at least. I already have a story planned for her going deeper into her origin and her first battle with Superwoman. If you have any questions regarding her or Superwoman leave a comment. I reply ASAP. ;D
