By the way, Sand Creature is actually a character in the comics. His name is Sand Superman except I modified his abilities and powers a little. You can research him up if you're interested.
Earth 38: National City
"Alex, I'm here and I see him. Any suggestions on how to beat him?" Kara asked through the com in her ear.
"I don't know Kara. We have no info on him prior to this attack. No origin at all. Just try to see what he can do and improvise from there." Alex replied.
Kara flew down towards Sand Creature and hovered over him.
"I'm here! Now, why do you want me? To fight?" Kara asked. The man smiled. Or, kind of. His face as well as his whole body looked as if it had been stuck in a vat of superglue and went to a sandbox right after. He was literally sand.
"You could say that." the man said. His arm started stretching towards her when the logical side of her brain told her to get out of the way. She willed herself to stop flying and managed to just dodge the man's arm. She flew towards him, inches above the ground, and punched him in the chest.
Instead of him flying back or falling to the ground, Kara's hand went right through and an explosion rocked the streets of National City. Kara flew back into a building while Sand Creature didn't move a muscle.
"Kara, Supergirl, get up!" Alex yelled, concerned for her sister. Even though Kara was adoptive and an alien, she was still her sister.
Dazed and confused, Kara tumbled out of the rubble and waited for the dust to clear. Sand Creature grinned like he knew something she didn't.
"Kara, if he's anything like sand, you'll be able to use your heat vision to turn him into sand. you'll have to burn him at a very high temperature though. Do not hold back." J'onn said. Kara nodded and used all the anger in her to power herself.
Beams shot out of her eyes and when they hit Sand Creature, they made ripples all over his body. Kara screamed and put everything she had into her heat vision, but it still wasn't enough. Kara fell over from exhaustion and started breathing heavily.
"It didn't work! Why didn't it work?" Kara asked to Alex, J'onn, and herself. She felt something. She felt weaker. And not just from her recent fights or even fatigue. She could just feel… something.
"Oh, crap! Supergirl, the tech in your suit that's monitoring your vitals says hear that you only have half the amount of solar radiation within your cells than before. I think that, somehow… he has drained some of your powers from you" Alex said in distress. "J'onn, you have to get out there and help her."
"No! The world cannot know about his identity. I will not let you fall for this, J'onn." Kara hissed. She walked toward Sand Creature, not willing to back down. "You haven't told me your name. Unless it actually is, Sand Creature."
"My name is Quarmer. Just Quarmer, nothing else. I'm going get rid of you so I can destroy National City." The man said. Kara grimaced from the pain she felt in her back from crashing into the building.
"Why do you want to destroy National City?" Kara asked through her gritted teeth. Quarmer shrugged.
"For my own amusement."
"You're a psychopath." Quarmer smirked and wagged his finger at Kara
"No, I'm an activist." Kara kept limping towards Quarmer. "This city has always been a means to an end. I'm just making it better before this place goes to shit."
"Oh, you know that you can't touch me, right. Well, you can, but every time you do…" Quarmer made an explosion motion with his hand.
"I won't give up. This is my city. This is my home." Kara persisted.
"Well… that might conflict with reality. Say goodbye to National City. Or better yet, your Earth!" Quarmer outstretched his arm and started spiraling it inward on itself. Eventually, he removed his hand and the sand stayed there, floating, swirling, and pulsing. It was a portal. Quarmer tied Kara up with ropes made out of sand in the blink of an eye. Somehow, no explosion occurred. He pulled her next to him and smiled.
"Hope you like sand, cause your going to see a lot of it where we're going." Quarmer pushed Kara in before she could say a word and jumped in right after her, the portal closing right after them.
Quarmer Dimension
It was barren and sandy. A bright star shining upon the land. Nothing but yellow grains all around. It was flat with no other characteristics. All until the sandy portal opened and Supergirl tumbled out. Quarmer jumped out smoothly right after her.
"Where are we?" Kara groaned. She got up and looked around. All she saw was sand for miles and miles.
"My home. I call it the Quarmer Dimension." Sand Creature smiled.
"Not much of a home. What do you do here, sunbathe?" Kara asked. Quarmer chuckled.
"You haven't seen the rest of it."
"Rest of it? There's nothing but sand for miles and mi-" Kara stopped speaking when the ground started shaking. Dust started to form in the air in front of them as a building started to rise above the surface.
When the dust settled and Kara stopped coughing, she saw... a tiny shed.
"What the hell is that?" Kara asked Quarmer. He laughed.
"Trust me, It's better than it looks." Quarmer pushed Kara forward and they both started walking towards the shed made out of sand. When they entered, the inside started to expand and it turned into an exact replica of the underground DEO headquarters.
"What the hell..." Kara gasped. How did he know what it looked like?
"Now, I know what you're thinking, how do I know what your silly little headquarters looks like? Easy. I could feel what it looked like through the ground. Sand is everywhere, even if it's as little as one grain. I could feel everything, see everything." Kara grimaced. When she got out, she was going to have to tell J'onn about it. "This will be your knew home for a long time. Get comfortable. Oh, and you won't be able to escape. Not unless someone can travel this dimension. The vibrations needed to open a breach here are almost impossible to match."
"I will get out of here, and I will destroy you." Kara said. Quarmer walked away and started to open a portal, disregarding what she had just said.
"Unlikely. Now that you're out of the way and unable to help National City, I can turn it to rubble and create my army. I will insert sand into their minds and create mindless minions." with that said, Quarmer strolled away and walked through the portal. Kara tried to run in after him, but the portal closed right before she could reach it.
"Shoot!" Kara exclaimed. She was alone with no help coming. The ropes had disappeared, but there was no way she could get out of this dimension. She laid down on a cot and attempted to rest, hoping to regain her energy in order to fight her way out.
Moments After Supergirl vs Quarm: Earth 38: DEO Headquarters
"J'onn, Kara's gone, it looks like Sand Creature took her somewhere." Alex said, exasperated.
"Yes, it seems as if Supergirl has been captured by this... Quarmer. Where do you think she was taken?" J'onn asked.
"Maybe his base somewhere across the world? I've never seen anything like that portal though." Alex shrugged noncommittally.
"You think that guy was right? Barry? All signs are leading towards him being truthful about that dimension thing. That portal could've been to another Earth."
"You think we should talk to him? He could provide us with some helpful information in order to get Kara back."
"It would not hurt to try." J'onn said. They started walking to Barry's cell and talked about their suspicions.
"When do you think Quarmer will come back? He seemed serious about destroying National City."Alex asked.
"I do not know. But I will not stand by while he attempts to destroy the city."
"But J'onn, aren't you worried that the world will see you as a threat? You wouldn't be able to run the DEO then!" J'onn shrugged as they arrived at Cell 14. Barry's cell. J'onn opened the door and both he and Alex entered. No guards were in the room at the moment.
Alex suddenly gasped and ran over to the cell to open it and check what happened while J'onn hit the alarm. Luckily, they had installed a PA system next to all alarms.
"Everyone, The occupant of Cell 14 has escaped. Lock down the facility and stay alert. Do not let him escape this facility!" J'onn said calmly into the PA system. Their stack of problems was increasingly growing, and they had to start solving them.
