Chapter 2
"I think the best thing we can do now is wait until you have a solution. Inside the Phantom Zone, he'll remain in stasis and there won't be any need to worry about him getting into trouble. Besides after its last use, the Phantom Zone projector needs to be reprogrammed," Clark said after Kara explained the situation.
"What if we can't find a solution?" The idea had just hit her like a ton of bricks and she started to play with the pieces of fabric on her uniform between her thumb and index finger. Her cousin nodded, it was a likely possibility. They were moving into uncharted territory and it was anyone's guess on how they could save her boyfriend.
"What about calling your friends on Earth One? Barry and Cisco might have some ideas," he suggested.
"They might. Caitlin is a doctor so she might be able to help too," Kara perked up. Then she saw that Clark was making that face that he made when he was using his super-hearing.
"My phone just went off and Lois is up," he said.
"Well I better get a move on. Can you reprogram the projector?" She asked.
"I can take a look but I need to be back in time for work. Speaking of which, you'll have to be more present at yours now that Cat is back," Clark pointed out.
"Yes, I know. It is good to have her back though," his cousin smiled slightly.
"I thought I heard voices in here. Clark, you have a message from Winn. How'd he get your number?" Lois said from the doorway to the hall where the apartment bedrooms were. She tossed the phone and Clark easily caught it.
"You leave your phone back home?" He looked at Kara.
"Winn is a hacker plus my password is probably easily guessed," the blonde chuckled.
"You need to change it and Winn says that there is a robbery in progress and you need to get back before Cat eats you for breakfast. That boy has some strange sayings," Clark chuckled.
"Thanks for your help. Good to see you again Lois," Kara smiled as she headed for the balcony. She was gone in a flash and Lois shook her head.
"Trouble on the home front again?" The reporter asked.
"Yeah. Seems Kara has an easy time of finding it. Shall we get ready for work? I have to make a stop at the Fortress," Clark told her.
"Just be on time. Perry will have your ass one of these days," Lois teased. The two headed for a mutual shower, knowing it would be worth it more than just to save time.
Kara landed outside of the bank that was being robbed to find that it was starting to get busy on the streets. It was still early and the robbery at this hour seemed odd but she could hear the alarms sounding so someone was somewhere they didn't belong. Using her x-ray vision, she looked through the walls to see a large man and a three accomplices walking toward the exit. Springing into action, Kara shot through the front door and landed right in front of them.
"Going somewhere?" She asked, she could hear the sirens in the distance and knew the police were on their way.
"Yes we are," the large man leveled his gun at her.
"Come on now," Kara shook her head, expecting the usual trouble. That's when the man pulled the trigger. The bullets shot out of the gun and suddenly Kara didn't feel so good. Shaking it off, she dodged the bullets and hit the man square on the jaw. Once he went flying backwards, the others looked like they were about to wet their pants. They opened fire on her anyway trying to stop themselves from being caught. That's when she felt something dig into her skin. One of the bullets had actually managed to graze her as she dodged them. She shook her head. How had they gotten their hands on Kryptonite?
"You're surrounded! Come out with your hands up!" Came a shout from outside. The police had arrived.
"Put the weapons down guys. It'll go easier if you surrender," she tried to bluff her way out of this, knowing a direct hit could kill her. One tried to fire his gun and found it empty. He quickly dropped the gun and put up his hands. His cohorts didn't even try to fire their guns, they just dropped them. She jerked her head toward the door and they started walking. Kara scooped up the big guy like it was nothing and his accomplices hurried toward the doors – their hands up.
"Well that was easy," Maggie smirked as Supergirl exited the building and put the big guy down. Kara walked over to the detective and smiled slightly before pulling her aside.
"Can you see that Alex gets one of the weapons?" She asked.
"Why?" Maggie wanted to know.
"They somehow got their hands on Kryptonite," Kara told her.
"Oh not good. I'll do what I can. In the meantime, be careful," the detective gave her a slight smile before Supergirl took to the sky, knowing she was going to be late for work.
