We're heading to the big fight, folks. The Super Seven (that's the best I got) vs. Lena Luthor... and other brainwashed students of Super Hero High. I'll admit that the road getting there wasn't smooth, but I try my best. But we're still in Chapter 6 so it's safe to say that the fight doesn't end here. Supergirl is getting the spotlight here, so...

Enjoy.


CHAPTER 6: SUPERGIRL

Supergirl and Wonder Woman fly to the docks while Batgirl, Katana, Poison Ivy, and Bumblebee ride in Batgirl's Mobile HQ. Batgirl instructed Katana to give Bumblebee something special that will help her in the coming fight.

"Batgirl wasn't able to fully repair your pack to help you grow back to normal size, but this should enable you to fly, at least," Katana said as she outfitted Bumblebee with her sort-of repaired battery back.

"Well, at least I won't always be stuck on the floor," said Bumblebee.

"You don't have to do this, you know," said Katana.

"Yes, I do. You guys need everyone for this," said Bumblebee. "I won Hero of the Year like this, remember? I'm not gonna be afraid, not again."

"As I told Jessica, it's okay to be afraid. What matters is we rise above that fear," said Batgirl.

"Okay, so maybe I'm a little afraid," Bumblebee admitted.

Supergirl and Wonder Woman have arrived at the docks. All they have to do now is wait for the Mobile HQ to show up with their friends. Supergirl notices that Wonder Woman was feeling down, so she decided to talk to her.

"We'll save Themyscira, Wonder Woman, I promise," said Supergirl.

"It's not just my home I'm worried about. I'm worried about my friends and the world," said Wonder Woman. "I know we can win this, but, honestly, I'm scared."

"Hey, I'm scared too," said Supergirl. "Lena has who knows how much Kryptonite down there and I could be defeated as easily as just throwing one of those things at me. But here I am, ready to fight for my home. Lena can throw all the Kryptonite she has at me, but I'm never gonna give up. I'm gonna fight and give it all I have."

"You truly are your cousin's cousin," Wonder Woman said, smiling.

"Just being a good friend," said Supergirl.

The Mobile HQ finally shows up. The rest of the girls exit. Batgirl was equipping herself with as much as she can carry, which included her contingency plans.

"Don't judge me," said Batgirl. "Not yet at least."

"HEY, BATS!"

That high-pitched yell came from none other than Harley Quinn, who finally found her target. Batgirl. The clown rushes at the masked vigilante and swings her mallet at her, but Batgirl dodges it, causing Harley to stumble forward out of control until she slipped and fell.

"Ouch!" Harley cried. "You hurt my hiney."

"Harley, now is not the time for petty fighting," said Batgirl. "We have a real fight to get to. Metropolis, the whole world is counting on us."

"You left me tied up in a chair and took my mallet from me!" Harley shouted.

"Well, you got it back," said Batgirl.

Harley continued shouting and swinging. Batgirl had to duck and flip to avoid getting hit.

"Should we do something?" Ivy asked.

"Batgirl's got this," said Bumblebee.

Batgirl, indeed, got this. After dodging Harley's next swing, she swipes the mallet away from her and trips Harley using the opposite end.

"Get over it, Harley," said Batgirl. "We don't have time for this nonsense. Lena Luthor is about to turn the entire city into her personal playground, and you want to waste your time trying to hit me?"

"I see you still haven't taken that chill pill," Harley joked.

Batgirl helps Harley up and gives her back her mallet.

"Listen, Harley. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior on the battlefield," Batgirl said seriously. "Right now, I need you to focus on using this mallet to pound Lena. We can settle our little dispute afterwards."

"She's still angry," Ivy whispered to Katana.

"I can hear you," said Batgirl.


The seven supers enter the warehouse that was supposedly on top of Lena's new lair. There was a jazzy neon sign that says "Lena' New Evil Lair" with an arrow pointing at a super obvious button that obviously sends the very obvious platform down below to Lena's underground base.

"I sense a trap," said Batgirl.

"We'll just have to risk it," said Supergirl.

"You said that when Lena had her super-power-dampening machine," Batgirl reminded.

"What? Do you want to switch clothes again?" asked Supergirl.

"No thanks," said Batgirl.

"You guys switched clothes once?" Ivy asked.

"Not important," said Batgirl.

The girls step on the hatch and push the button on the wall. The platform descends slowly to the underground lair. Bumblebee whistles. Ivy pets a flower. Batgirl plays a game on her call bracelet. Supergirl hums "Get Your Cape On." Wonder Woman shines her shield. Harley balances her mallet on her hand. Katana meditates.

"This is the slowest elevator in the universe," said Supergirl. "And as a girl who's been in 12 different planets, I mean it literally."

Five minutes later, the platform finally reaches the bottom. Harley was already napping on Batgirl's shoulder. She shakes her awake so they can move forward.

"Ew. This place is gross," said Supergirl, noticing the rusty metal of the corridor ahead.

"Well, Lena's more focused on taking over the world than maintaining sanitation," said Batgirl.

Suddenly, the lights go out. Everyone started panicking, except for Batgirl, who was trying to stop everyone from panicking. When the lights came back on, Supergirl was alone.

"Guys! Guys! Girls!" Supergirl called.

Supergirl tried to use her super hearing, but all she got was a high-pitched noise that threatens to damage her ears.

An evil laugh was heard through the speakers. It was Lena.

"Hello, Supergirl," Lena said.

"Lena!" Supergirl said with contempt. "What did you do to my friends?"

"They're in my lab, ready for dinner. Tonight's special: Red Kryptomite with a pinch of Black," said Lena.

"Let them go! This is between you and me!" Supergirl shouted.

"Oh, we'll get there soon," said Lena. "But first, shall we play a game?"

"I don't have time for this," said Supergirl.

Supergirl starts flying through the corridor, only to run into an electric force field, shocking her.

"Quite the shock, don't you think?" Lena quipped.

"Hey! Jokes are my thing!" Harley reacted.

"Shut it, clown!" Lena yelled. "Anyway, where were we? Oh, yes. Supergirl. You have to survive my Corridor of Doom. I'll be unleashing one of my special Kryptomites and I'll send one of your friends to help you."

"I'm not playing your game, Lena," said Supergirl.

"Oh, but you must," said Lena. "If you don't, then you can't save your friends. Be glad I'm giving you a fighting chance."

"Fine," Supergirl gave in. "I'll play your game. But my friends better be safe."


Supergirl slowly hovers across the corridor, waiting for the game to start. The door to the next part of the corridor closes, which means the test begins now.

An orange Kryptomite shows up, along with Batgirl.

"Batgirl, you're okay!" Supergirl said happily.

Supergirl was gonna run in for a hug, but Batgirl distances herself from the Girl of Steel.

"I don't trust you," said Batgirl.

"But it's me. Supergirl. Your friend," said Supergirl.

"Stay back, Kryptonian," Batgirl warned, holding a red solar grenade. "Once this blows up, your powers will be weakened."

The Orange Kryptomite laughs, enjoying the show. Its effect on Batgirl is working like a charm. The vigilante's paranoia has been increased to an 11.

"Barbara, please, listen to me," Supergirl pleaded.

"How do you know my secret identity?" Batgirl asked. "What else do you know about me?"

"That you're my friend," said Supergirl.

"Liar," said Batgirl.

Batgirl activates the grenade and throw it at Supergirl, dampening her powers. Supergirl lies on the ground, weakened.

"Don't even bother getting up," said Batgirl. "I have another one."

"Batgirl, please, stop," Supergirl pleaded. "I know we were all harsh on you when you told us about your contingency plans. We told you that it was wrong and it was a breach of friendship. While I still think that's true, we wrong about the reason you did it. We thought you did it because of paranoia, but I see now that you did it out of friendship. Should something bad happen, you didn't want anything bad to happen to us or to anyone we might hurt. I get it now. You don't want to hurt anyone. You just want to protect your friends. Ask yourself. If I am bad and you're trying to stop me, why are you doing?"

"To... to... to protect my friends," said Batgirl.

Batgirl closes her eyes and shakes her head after feeling a funny feeling in her head. When she opened her eyes, she snapped out of it. She offers Supergirl a hand and helps her stand up.

Supergirl smashes the orange Kryptomite so it can't do any more damage. Batgirl, however, was snatched by a claw coming out of the wall.

"Batgirl! No!" Supergirl cried.

"Well done, Supergirl. You made it past round one," said Lena. "Now, on to the next round."


Supergirl hovers slowly further into the corridor, until another door closed in front of her. Wonder Woman shows up along with a blue Kryptomite.

"A Blue Confusion Kryptomite... great," Supergirl complained.

"Where am I? What am I doing here? I am so confused," Wonder Woman babbled, confused. "And what am I wearing?"

Supergirl decides to smash the Blue Kryptomite, but when she tried to, the force field protecting it shocked her.

"I figured you'd try that after the first one, so I equipped the Blue Krpytomite with a force field," said Lena, laughing evilly.

Supergirl changes tactics. "Wonder Woman, listen to me..."

"Wonder Woman? What kind of a name is Wonder Woman?" Wonder Woman asked, still confused. "And why do I have this piece of rope?"

"It's the Lass of Truth," said Supergirl. "Whoever you rope is forced to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Supergirl puts the Lass of Truth around her.

"Ask me anything," said Supergirl.

"Who are you?" asked Wonder Woman.

"Kara Zor-El," Supergirl answered. "But you can call me Supergirl."

"What kind of a name is Supergirl?" asked Wonder Woman.

"It's my superhero name. It's who you are too. A superhero," said Supergirl.

"You mean the saving-cats-from-trees, saving-people-in-a-bus-that-is-about-to-fall-off-a-bridge kind of hero?" asked Wonder Woman.

"Yes," said Supergirl.

"But why am I a hero? I am so confused," asked Wonder Woman.

"You are Wonder Woman, a symbol of hope," said Supergirl. "You came to our school confused and lost, but you had friends who helped you fit in. When I came to Super Hero High, I was confused and lost, but you helped me fit in too. We're best friends. We always will be. No matter how confused we are of how our lives are now, we always have each other to remind us that we can rely on one another."

Wonder Woman gets a split-second headache and then finally snapped out of it.

"You're wrong, Supergirl. It's you who is the symbol of hope," said Wonder Woman.

Once Wonder Woman untied Supergirl, a giant claw came out of the wall and dragged Wonder Woman in. Supergirl couldn't catch her before the hole closed.

"No!" Supergirl cried.

"I admit. That was impressive... if barf-worthy," said Lena, pretending to barf. "Final round, Supergirl. Let's see if you can handle it."


Same as before, Supergirl hovers across the corridor until a door closes, preventing her from advancing. The next Kryptomite is a yellow one, encased in super-proof glass. This was proven when Supergirl to break it with her fists and her Heat Vision, only to fail both times. Bumblebee was tossed out of a hole and onto the floor.

"Yellow means fear, which means... oh no," Supergirl said, knowing what's gonna happen.

Bumblebee wakes up and sees Supergirl. She immediately crawls backwards in fear, fearing the presence of someone bigger than her.

"Stay away! Stay away from me!" Bumblebee begged, scared.

"Bumblebee, it's okay. No is going to hurt you," said Supergirl.

"No! Don't come near!" Bumblebee continued to beg with fear in her eyes and voice. "Don't touch me! Don't step on me! Please, leave me alone!"

Supergirl was starting to get annoyed by Lena's game. It's hard to take her friends' behaviors seriously when she knows that it's the Krpytomites affecting them. But she couldn't take this lightly. She needed to take this seriously, as if Bumblebee is really afraid of her.

"Look, Bumblebee, I know you're scared. Anyone in your place would be. The thought that anything can hurt you is frightening," said Supergirl. "But fear shouldn't pull you down too low. It's supposed to help you rise up to any challenge. You're not a coward, Bumblebee. You're a hero. Heroes don't let fear get in their way. Don't forget that you won Hero of the Year because you fought evil despite being small. As they say, big things come in small packages."

Supergirl extends her hand forward, waiting for Bumblebee to either hop on or at least touch her finger for a friendly "handshake." Bumblebee, snapping out of the yellow Kryptomite's effects, steps forward and touches Supergirl's finger as a sign of trust. The two friends smile at each other.

"Congratulations, Supergirl," said Lena. "You made it to the final round. Now, on to the next game."

Bumblebee quickly hops on to Supergirl's hand for protection. Supergirl faces the camera and says...

"No more games, Lena. I want my friends released."

"Oh, but the games are just getting started," said Lena.

A hatch in the wall opens and giant claw shows up, snatching Supergirl, causing her to drop Bumblebee. The claw's tips were coated in Kryptonite, weakening Supergirl so she can't escape. She is dragged into the hole and it closes up.


Supergirl gets dropped into a super-proof glass cage. The cage was hooked up to some kind of machine. Through the glass, she can see Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Katana, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn trapped in glass cages of their own. She can also see power-dampening pods containing the rest of their friends. The empty sixth glass cage was empty, until Bumblebee was dropped in.

"Guys! Are you okay?" asked Supergirl.

"Better now that you're here," said Batgirl. "Oh, and sorry about the red solar grenade."

"Don't worry. It was the Kryptomite," said Supergirl.

Lena's evil laughter was heard again. She was coming down from above in her Lexosuit. She descends from the giant suit of armor and walks towards the other glass cage connected to the machine.

"What is that thing?" Bumblebee asked

Lena prepares to explain. "This is..."

"A machine designed to transfer Supergirl's Kryptonian DNA into yours, thus giving you the powers of a Kryptonian," Batgirl interrupted.

"Wh-Wha... How did you know that?" Lena asked, angry that she was robbed of a villainous monologue.

"I hacked into your super encrypted file before we got here," said Batgirl.

"Well, bravo to you, Bratgirl," Lena said disrespectfully. "Let me just cut to the rest. Once I have Supergirl's powers, you'll all be powerless to stop me. And the best part, we're live on TV."

Everyone faces the ledge on the wall where Kryptomites are recording everything live via cameras.

"I'm gonna make all of Metropolis watch as I destroy Super Hero High's greatest heroes," Lena continued.

"But what happened to the whole using-us-as-mind-controlled-puppets plan?" asked Batgirl.

"Oh, I'm still planning on doing that," said Lena. "I'm just gonna destroy you, Supergirl, and Katana. The rest will all be under my control!" Cue evil laughter.

"You won't get away with this, Lena!" Wonder Woman said.

"Oh, but I already have," said Lena.

Lena steps into the glass cage and activates the machine. Supergirl shouts in pain as the machine sucks all of her power out of her. Her powers have been transferred to Lena, who also screams because of how much the process hurts.

Once the machine stopped, both glass cages open. Supergirl gets up and was about to fly towards her friends, only to land hard on the ground when she tried to fly.

"My powers... they're gone," said Supergirl.

Suddenly, she gets hit with Heat Vision. It came from Lena, who now has Kryptonian powers.

"Yes, and they're now all mine," said Lena.

"Holy mother of nature," Ivy cried, worried.

Notes:

- Why is Lena broadcasting this? Well, a certain someone in Metropolis is gonna be in for a big surprise.

- The red solar grenade was an idea from the video game, Injustice 2.
