Time to step up the game with Red K. Kendrix is succumbing to the effects and well… you can guess what will happen the Ch's title.

Chapter 3: Flying Lessons

Sunday…

(Scene: Kendrix' and Elizabeth's Apartment, Terra Venture City, Mirinoi/Kendrix' POV)

I woke up the next morning, thank Rao it's Sunday. Usually most of the staff have a day-off. I changed out of my pjs, into my clothes and stepped out of the room. I had a look at the clock, it read 12:00 pm. Damn! I must've slept in! Eliza was in the sitting room watching TV. Oh my god! Last night! I've been very unruly towards Mike. I got to apologise to him! Yet, why would I? He expected me to do all the dirty work! He knew his team weren't trained and didn't have the means to take on a K'hund, may it be a male or female.

I stepped into the sitting room and Eliza turned. She slightly smiled at me.

"Hey sis.",

"Good evening. I left some breakfast for you." She said,

"Thanks. Look, about last night, I didn't mean to be rude towards Mike I-",

"No need. I told Mike it was probably stress from work and you took it out on him." I just chuckled a bit.

"I guess so. Might as well use this day-off to recharge my battery before I start snapping at my team. Also, what I said to you-" Eliza cut me off again. Rao! It's getting annoying!

"It's fine. I took it as work related as well.",

"Thanks for understanding." My sister nodded and resumed watching TV. I saw on the news, Mike's team managed to recapture the K'hund and has been placed in a special cell. One that he will not be able to punch through. Well done to them. That alien was a waste of my time. I walked into the kitchen to grab the breakfast meal my older sister left me.

I found it in the fridge. Being too lazy to pop it into the microwave, I used my Heat Vision at a very controlled level, so I don't char my meal and melt the plate. Once it was heated, I sat at the kitchen table and started eating. After finishing my meal, Eliza came in.

"So you still on for the nightclub?" She asked me,

"Yeah. Why?",

"Because I think that's what you need to relax. Drinks and dancing." I smiled at her. Perhaps I do need it and maybe win the heart of the man who's been chasing me. Leo Corbett.

Night…

(Scene: Nightclub, Terra Venture City, Mirinoi/Leo's POV)

I was sitting on a bar stool at the counter where the bar manager was selling cocktails and other forms of alcohol. I'm glad Mike managed to get everyone tickets, the DJ rocks! Elizabeth was next to me, along with Mike. Both were having drinks. The music was blaring, it felt like my eardrums were going to explode!

"The music is so loud!" I told them in a raised voice, so Mike and Elizabeth could hear me. They both laughed.

"Glad you're having a good time baby brother." Mike responded. I turned to Elizabeth.

"Say, Elizabeth, didn't you say you're sister would be here?" Kendrix hasn't shown up, maybe she declined the ticket, thought it would be too awkward. It was a year since she rejected me, but I'm not giving up! My love for still burns bright. Mike looked up and he saw someone.

"Oh! There she is!" Then he frowned, "Or… I… think that's her." Odd, Mike never stutters. I looked in his direction and my jaw just dropped. Literally. Kendrix was drop dead gorgeous! She was wearing a slim, black dress, that showed off waist line and just barely hugged her body. Her glasses somehow, worked perfectly with the dress.

I could just about see the toned muscles on her arms. That's what you get when spend most you're time lifting cars, catching space shuttles and holding a section of a building on your shoulders. That doesn't meter right now! I was so mesmerised, I didn't see Mike clicking his fingers in my face.

"Leo!? Mirinoi to Leo? Are you there?" I snapped out of my trance as Kendrix was right in front of me.

"Sorry Mike. Hi Kendrix. Wow! Look at you!",

"Whoa sis! I didn't think you'd be into this kind of fashion!" Eliza said, in a genuine shocked tone.

"I have a few surprises in store." She teased. I couldn't stop staring, she was so… so whoa whoa! I found my annoyance towards her for lashing at Mike melting away. Eliza texted me earlier on saying she was just stressed from work. That can happen. I don't blame her. This is my chance! Maybe she'll open up to me this time! I cleared my throat.

"Keni, do you want to dance?",

"Sure! I'd love to!" I brought her to dance floor. I put my hands in her waist, my thumbs barely grazing her toned abdomen. I swear I could feel her abs. Kendrix isn't one to go to the gym. Why go there when she's out saving the world, which is her gym session.

"I love this song!" She said. The DJ was playing Demi Lovato 'Confident'.

"Yeah. It's a good song." I agreed. We both danced in time with the music.

"What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being

What's wrong with being confident?

What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being

What's wrong with being confident?"

I bet Mike, Eliza, Kai and his girlfriend Hannah, along with Maya and Damon were looking at us or slagging us. Maya probably thinking when are these two lovebirds, a human and an Kryptonian going to get together. Suddenly, Kendrix began whispering in my ear.

"Leo, I do love you. I don't know what I was thinking when I said no to you last year.",

"You just did it to protect me. I understand.",

"It doesn't have to be this way. What's wrong in taking a gamble? Life is all about taking risks hm?" I was bit put off by my friend's suggestive tone. Is this really Kendrix I'm talking to? Or this some shape-shifting alien who took some of her memories and hid the real Kendrix somewhere we don't know. Before she could talk more, Mike walked up to us, interrupting our little conversation.

"What is it Mike?" I asked, forgetting about Kendrix for moment.

"Commander Stanton wants to talk to Supergirl." I was taken back by that. What does he want now? I turned to talk to Kendrix but… she was already gone! Like she disappeared or melted into the crowd. I looked left and right, no sign of her. I headed to bar where everyone else is.

"Yo Eliza!" She turned to see me,

"Have you seen Kendrix?",

"No!" She replied, "Why?",

"Because she's gone!" Where are you gone now Kendrix? Eliza told me Kendrix has been a bit off. During the mission to capture the K'hund, I heard the K'hund escaped from Supergirl's grasp. Though, I'm starting to beg to differ. I wonder did she let the alien go?

"Leo is something wrong?" Maya said in a concerned voice, breaking my train of thoughts. There's something not right with Kendrix and I can't lay a finger on what.

"Something's wrong with Kendrix." I simply answered.

(Scene: Balcony, Terra Venture City HQ, Terra Venture City, Mirinoi/Kendrix' POV)

I landed on the balcony, directly behind Commander Stanton. He was pouring himself a glass of whiskey. I'm certain he heard me land. I saw Stanton left his head and turned towards me. I had my arms crossed, I was somewhat annoyed at him for intruding my fun with Leo.

"A pleasure to meet you again Supergirl." He welcomed pleasantly. I just sighed.

"Cut the act Stanton. Get to the main point of this." Stanton was a bit shocked at sudden rudeness.

"I've been checking security feeds on the mission regarding the K'hund. I heard you let him go, others say he escaped. If you did let him go, am I being… what's the term the young people use?" He mused to himself. "Punked." I'm not falling for his games. I learned a thing or two from the Queen of All Media in National City. Though, she is a bit of a bitch.

"I'm not assuming anything Greg." Stanton raised an eyebrow. He has never been addressed by his first name, or ever. I swear, he possibly forgot it at this stage.

"Did you just call me Greg?",

"You labelled me in the media as a girl scout!" I told him, as I walked back and forth. "Supergirl is brave, kind and strong." I was throwing Stanton's words back into his face. "That's quite a stock characterisation. Very two-dimensional. We all have a dark-side." The Commander's body stiffened. He was becoming very wary of my behaviour. His back was stiff, jaw clenched and shoulders back. Now I'm putting him in his place.

"Your words are true Supergirl but you don't have one. You represent what's all good in the world." Stanton countered,

"Well, I'm sick it! And you know what I'm sick of? Enabling, all of you, in your victimhood!" I turned my back and my hands leaning on the railing. I continued venting out my frustration. "Oh look, my building is on fire! All that shit, Supergirl swoops down and saves the day!" I growled under my breath. "Prepare to feel the flames people because I quit." I knew at this stage my eyes were flashing red again. I heard Stanton approach me.

"Supergirl, I'm going to guess you're having some psychological breakdown, that's OK. It happens to all of us. I'll give you a number to my doctor and he prescribe you some medicine. That's if your alien body will react to the Earthly medication." I cocked my head. Who does he think he is!? Of course you idiot! These Earth medications will not work on me! "If I were you, I'd lay low. I'm a bit worried about that attitude of yours.",

"I did learn from someone, whom I rather not name. So Commander Greg Stanton, wHo are you really? Let me tell you: you are the most arrogant, power-hungry and hypocritical person I know." I was sneering at him. Everyone thinks he's so great. Well, this is his true colours. Clearly Stanton was offended. He looked just about ready to land a punch, like it would hurt me unless he had a pair of Kryptonite knuckledusters.

"Easy now! Wherever you got those thoughts on me, some maybe true, but I'm not going to let some words out me down.",

"Really now? I'd love to see you try, but bother me again or else…",

"Or else what?" Stanton challenged. I stood up straight with a mocking, thoughtful look on my face.

"Wait, you're the most powerful person in Terra Venture City. At least that's what they say on TV." I closed the gap between myself and the Commander. "You want to know what powerful is. Let me show you!" Without warning, I grabbed Stanton by his shoulders and threw him over the railings. He lost his hat, but that doesn't matter. I leaned on the guard-rail and listened to him scream as he fell forty storeys down. It was music to my ears. As much as I wanted to kill him, I'll leave this as a warning.

I leaped over the rail, dove down and caught Stanton with fifteen seconds to spare before he went died on impact. I dropped the Commander. His legs were so shaky he couldn't stand, his breathing was rapid. I could hear his heart beat in his chest, hard and fast. He was close to a Heart Attack or Shock. I stared at the Commander in a down grading manner, ignoring the witnesses around us.

"True power Greg, is deciding who will live and die." I turned around, preparing to fly off, not before finishing, "Also, don't ever request my presence again." And I left him to absorb my words.

OK, so I took the title literally. I may have used some content from Supergirl 1x16, but it's just so fitting! Next Ch, the former Galaxy Rangers figure out what is wrong with their friend and why she is being so hostile and cold. Also, I made up a first name for Stanton since we don't even know what it is. The story is going to get darker and a lot of hurtful things being said. Be warned for the next one!
