Chapter 14

When Kara arrived the fifth floor of a new construction project was engulfed in flames. Construction workers were running away from the scene and the sounds of sirens could be heard in the distance. The firefighters were about two minutes out so she ducked in and called out to see if there was anyone there. Using her super breath could be deadly if anyone got knocked down or had the air sucked out of their lungs.

"I didn't think you'd be so stupid to come by yourself," out of the flames emerged the man who'd been hunting her. It was obvious that he was more than comfortable with his powers. They had developed over the time he'd spent on Earth and that made him dangerous, especially since no one was sure just how different or the same that his powers were to Kara's.

"Well this has nothing to do with the others. You're here for me and I'm here for you," the blonde told him before quickly using her super breath to douse the flames. With the fire out, there were few places to hide, which was good for stalking prey except for the fact that they were both predators.

"Nice trick," Ben Hill smirked.

"You have your own," She tossed back at him. The smirk remained on his face and Kara wondered what was going through his head.

"Supergirl! Are you up there?!" A cry from below on a bullhorn broke the moment. The firefighters had arrived.

"Just in time," it was as if the smirk never disappeared on his face. She watched as he pulled something out of his pocket and that's when she realized it was a detonator. In a split second, she needed to decide – go for the detonator or warn the firefighters and get them out of harm's way. Kara launched from her feet and knocked Hill down; the detonator skittered away across the charred floor and fell through a hole. The blonde hauled back and punched Hill square in the jaw. He brought his fist around and clocked her in the head. They tumbled around on the floor, trading punches.

Below, since they didn't get an answer, the firefighters started to enter the building. They searched every level to make sure all the construction workers were clear and that's when one of them stumbled onto something that didn't belong.

"Clear out! Bomb!" Went over the radio. The firefighters ran for the exits just as Alex and J'onn arrived with a team.

"What's going on?" J'onn asked, after he flashed his fake FBI badge.

"We know Supergirl is in there fighting with someone but there's a bomb on the third floor at one of the columns. I cleared all of my guys out of there," Chief Muldrow explained. It probably has Kryptonite in it, Alex thought before rushing into the building. J'onn quickly followed her – they needed to get Kara out of there but not at their own expense. She was thinking like a sister not as an agent.

Maggie wheeled up with other National City Police officers. She could see the DEO vehicles there but she couldn't see Alex or J'onn or Kara. Chief Muldrow brought her and the others up to speed. Unconsciously, Maggie plays with the ring on her finger. Alex was in there and she needed help. Before she could do anything though, there was a loud crash and then suddenly shouting. No one was sure who it was shouting but it was followed by more crashing. That was all Maggie needed. She rushed into the building. Even if she couldn't diffuse the bomb, she could get people out of there. Moments after Maggie ran into the building, it exploded.
