Chapter 3

-part1-

Supergirls search had so far yielded few results and she was growing thirsty. That's why it was a pleasant surprise to see the weather start to shift from clear pale blue to clouds rolling in toward her. Looks like it's going to rain here she thought heading into the region being cast in the shadow of the ever-darkening clouds.

As she approached a boom of thunder, followed by several more slowed her speed. She watched as the dark clouds that now filled her view with flickers of light. Bouncing about like giant fireflies. Lighting would not be able to damage Kara but it would hurt. So, to be avoided if possible.

With a plan in mind, Supergirl stopped just before the storm cloud. She would use Superman's supersonic clap to force the cloud to rain and then use her cape to catch some of the water for her to drink.

Awkwardly she placed the side blade of the sword of Juru between her teeth and took a deep steading breath as she hovered. ~If Clark can do it...

With full force, she contracted her shoulders for the clap. A sonic boom erupted as planned and the clouds reacted immediately as the air pushed a mass of it inward on itself. What was so unexpected was the color shift from dark greys to dark greens.

She removed the sword from her on-the-spot teeth sheath. Disappointed that she hadn't thought of a better idea. This one had left a bad taste in her mouth. Instinct told her to put some distance between her and this green cloud. She began to fly backward to keep the green storm in her view. It was growing exponentially outward in all directions in formless puffs.

"This can't be good." The words had barely left her lips when an enormous bolt of green lightning ripped out of the cloud and struck Kara in her family crest. The impact and following surge took her breath away. The pain felt as if she had no resistance to it. The green cloud was all that Kara could see as her vision narrowed. The weight of the sword she wielded was too great to grip. It fell to the earth. Followed seconds later by the unconscious Krytonion.

Boooom!

Guardian broke the sound barrier. "Wooowhoow" He screamed as his excitement released adrenaline in waves threw out his body. He was high in the sky mounted securely on his Nth Board.

"How am I not being ripped to shreds?" He said aloud for his comm, doing a loop.

"The power source is reacting with the Nth metal in the board. While you are on it you'll be nearly impervious." Winn sitting at the DEO in his personalized gaming chair gave it a spin. Allowing his friend a few moments to play around with his new toy and for Winn himself to imagine what would happen if he applied this tech to the van.

"And just what do you think you'll do when you get there" J'aun had come up from behind Gaurdian to fly at his side. He and Gaurdian made eye contact and The martian man-hunter gave him a friendly grin. "I must say that's an impressive ride."

James returned his focus to the front. "Thanks and whatever it takes."

"I have eyes!" Winn interjected. " I mean yes I have eyes and also I have satellite imaging on the fortress of solitude."

The view from the sky showed all ice and snow beneath The Martian Man Hunter and Gaurdian. They were almost there themselves.

Winn continued. "Guys I'm going to have a hard time putting this into words. Just going to say there are like dozens of very burnt cows and Superman has redecorated a lot..." Winn was starting to panic inside. Wtf am I looking at? "I think you guys should turn back."

"Do you see Superman or the President?" J'aun asked, hoping to force some focus on Winn.

"Ahh No. But he is there. I tracked all the kryptonite in his body and it has stopped there." Winn took a deep breath. "Im calling Alex."

The Guardian and the Marian man hunter descended to the ground as the fortress of solitude came into view. Gaurdian left off his board to land next to J'aun. The Nth board on its own accord , intrictly foldend in on itself and attached to the Gaurdians back. Neather J'aun nor himself took the time to marvel in how cool that was. The ground had large splatters of blood and animals that looked like they had been dropped from the sky. Mosty cattle, but some were exotic like Zebra, Tigars, and a few elephants. The air smelled of copper and burnt flesh. The fortress itself had been given a makeover with the once clean crystals of the structure now covered in red Kryptonian runes and the megalith pillars were wrapped in barbwire from fences that appeared to have just been ripped up from the ground. Complete with concrete and chunks of dirt. The most disturbing of all was what they saw next to the fortress. An upside-down stadium roof full of burnt animals. The sight was unimaginable.

"James turn your defense belt on" Guardian heard Winn say in his earpiece, bringing him back into reality.

"Ow right." Was all that James could say as he tuched the belt and it activated with a purple shimmer around him.

"I want you to stay out here." J'aun said to Gaurdian. Winn cut back in over the comms. "I think you both should come back. Alex just told me that General Yang is fitting a nukliar war head with tun of Kryptonite. There going to bom the fotress of solitude in 20 minutes. That place is going to be a crater!"

J'aun was already walking toward the entrance. "What makes them think that will work. They hit him with 100x what Lena had projected was needed to overdose Riegn. No, I have to do this."

After a moment James said "I cant let you go alone. Your going to need back up." He quickly caught up to his friend who didnt debate against it. The Martian Man hunter had a fierce look of deturmination. The last time the Laughing superman had caught him off gaurd. The last time he had let the fear of this unimaginable being fill him with doom. This time would be ready to stand his ground no matter what.

The two men entered togeather side by side as echo's of high pitch laughter could be heard from deep inside.

Berry Allen ran threw a speedforce opening breach after breach. "36." He lept out another vortex and after a few steps into another one. "37." He continued repeating the action. "and 38." He headed straight for the DEO. Berry was moving so fast that the rest of the world stood still for him. Wizzing into the building and around the few anylists that had remained, The Flash came to a stop right next to Winn. The rush of air and scatering of papers causing Winn to tip backward to far in his chair. He would of shorly fallen on his head if Berry hand not reached out and reset his chair.

"Hey Buddy." Berry said to the startled DEO agent with a big grin.

"H-Hey! Holy crap man! I am so glad to see you." Winn studderd relaxing his poster. He had become acustom to this. It was really only Alex that still really gut a lasting startle from him.

"I know, I gut your message. How can I help?"

Winn reached in a drewer on his desk. He pulled out a box and opened it to reveal a ear wig. "J'aun and James are clear out at the fortress of solitude. I hate to just throw you out there but there planing on taking on laughing superman by themselves."

"Ok, I understand. Skipping levels 1 , 2 , and 3 and heading straight into the big baddy boss battle. Gutcha." With those words and a wink to Winn, the Flash vanished out of view.
