Chapter 28
"You know that she will kill us for this, right?" Winn asked from the truck. He was manning the computers and scanning the building they'd arrived at. It was a warehouse in the industrial district, not a place that someone would find, unless they knew where to look.
"It is better to ask for forgiveness than permission," J'onn, in his green form, teased him from his position on the roof near a skylight. They didn't need Kara's permission, of course, but they all knew she would have wanted to be on this mission. These guys beat up Alex and Maggie and put countless innocent people at risk.
"How many of them are there in the building?" James wanted to know. He was near one of the warehouse's side doors.
"I count six. Seems like a rather small meeting to have in such a large building," Winn admitted.
"Doesn't matter, we can take them," James seemed confident.
"You're right, we can," Kara appeared next to the Martian and Mon-El landed right next to Guardian.
"Ricky is in so much trouble," Winn said.
"Not as much as you but we'll talk about that later. Ready?" Kara teased at first.
"It looks like they're all gathered together. Head in. I'm calling NCPD. They want these guys as much as we do," Winn radioed. With that Kara and J'onn broke through the skylight while Mon-El and James entered through the door. The six men were surprised at being found out but some managed to reach for their weapons.
Kara grabbed the first man as he shot at her. He was down in a flash while J'onn dodged a punch from the man he was confronting. The Martian quickly found purchase in the man's ribcage. Guardian used his shield to block bullets from another man while Mon-El threw the man he was fighting into another. The sound of NCPD's sirens could be heard in the distance and the last man tried to run but didn't make it very far as James clotheslined him.
"They're all down," Kara said to Winn as they collected the suspects.
"Time for the director of the DEO to make his appearance," Mon-El said in a low tone and with a smirk.
"I believe you are correct," J'onn winked while James headed for his bike. While Kara and Mon-El wouldn't be looked at twice, Guardian was still on the list of vigilantes. He had helped the city a lot but keeping his identity a secret was key. Besides, he'd meet them at the DEO later.
Meanwhile, Alura and Dax-Ur were watching the monitors at the DEO. Winn reported in to let Ricky know that they had caught some of the men associated with Coville.
"Is that all of them?" Dax-Ur asked.
"Not sure but we'll see what we can get out of those that we captured," Ricky said.
"For now, I think that we're in the clear but I think there is a story that we're all missing out on," Alura pressed the new Kryptonian.
"There is but I think it's probably best that everyone is here so that I may explain. Is it always like this here?" Dax-Ur asked.
"I haven't been here very long but I believe it has been worse than usual," the brunette admitted.
"Ah, I see," he nodded. It was then that Mon-El, Kara, and J'onn landed back on the balcony. Winn was pulling the truck into the garage so it could be checked over and restocked.
"NCPD isn't sure they can get them talking but I told them that Coville was arrested in Russia and to use that when speaking to his followers," J'onn told Dax-Ur.
"Good. Then may we all talk?" The Kryptonian asked.
