Chapter 8: Recruitment Process

Those were the last words Lena heard. She passed out quickly Monica caught her sped her to the bed. Instructed Javis to alert her when she awake or if her health changes. She returned to the living room feeling more than guilty. It was risky to give a human that much sensation to the nerves. Deep down she knew Lena would be ok. Kara gave Monica a worried look, "She ok?"

"Yes, just needs rest. Jarvis is attending to her."

"I should go sit with her." Kara headed toward the bedroom, a tug at her arm pulled her right back to Monica. They landed into a kiss, not as soft as earlier, it was rough heated. Kara broke the kiss for air. When her eyes opened Monica was gone. Stood there astounded by her speed. She joined Lena by the bed waiting for her to awake.

Monica knocked at Wally's apartment door on the fourth level. He answered it directly after the first knock. She asked for him to join her in the tactic room. They raced down to the secret room built around lead walls. It was hidden for any detection devices. Small circular lights were embedded into the floor. Metal cases alongside the left wall held their super suits. Monica had a few versions of her suits. Wally had only his Kid Flash suit. Monica was not fond of the design. She thought it made him seem like The Flash's sidekick. Even though, she knew Wally would one day become faster than Barry. She had faith in him. There was a round table in the center of the room with several chairs tucked in. A large screen displayed the world's counties. They heavily monitored terrorists around the globe. There was only a few target marked on the map. Monica added the coordinates Dirk had sent over to her. Jarvis controlled the graphics throughout the whole room. Weapons from swords, machine guns, axles, wooden sticks, rifles, knives, and ammunition locked up in an additional gun room. Four wall safes carried currency, passports, fake identities, and classified documents Monica collected from Beyond. The entire room was state of the art thanks to Jarvis.

Wally sat down in his favorite chair swirling around in it. He did not pay the addition target much attention. Monica came up with the plans when it came to where the team went. He hadn't been told to suit up so the meeting had a different purpose. She looked over the map intently.

"What's on your mind?"

"It's time Wally." She rotated to his directing eyeing him over, "Jarvis, the recruit files."

"Yes, Ma'am"

The maps graphics turned into a massive list of known villains and superheroes on all over the earth's. Wall rose from the table joined Monica's side. He did not understand they would have so many to look through. Monica was well known on each other except for ones she hadn't been on yet. Each file had personal notes that Nova added. It was very specific from missions completed, characteristics traits, favorite drinks, past partners, arch enemies, fighting styles, and hospital records.

"Categorize them all by powers; Earth, Wind, Fire, Water."

"Yes Ma'am" Jarvis reorganized the list. There were hundreds of people to sort through.

"Eliminate the Water category altogether and all villains."

"Yes, Ma'am. Any other preferences?"

"Eliminate female applicants for now."

"Yes, Ma'am."

Wally quickly read over everyone's abilities and weaknesses. He reached for the screen and threw away ten candidates. She knew his training had served him well.

"Pick one and I'll pick one."

Wally read over them all once more before selecting Starfox. "I want him."

"I want him." Monica tapped Blue Marvel's profile. "We're old friends."

They sent the next hour sifting through the database of applicants. Wally felt like a vital part of the team when his opinion was heard. Monica didn't even pick the majority of the team. Second guessing himself only irritated her. She gave him to the rest of the day to pick the final members. He sat at the table stared at the photos. There were so many factors to remember. Monica crossed out specific heroes that wouldn't work well together, and narrowed list to her liking. Wally sped around the room trying to think. It was funny to see him so indecisive. She left him to mole over his decision.

She sneaked out the H.A.T.E headquarters to visit Catco. Within seconds she'd had landed right outside the doors. The building wasn't as large as L Corp. Nova followed the instructions up to Editor-In-Chef's office. Snapper Carr sat at his messy desk with his oily glasses prompted on his head. Every bit of his office was a disheveled mess. He was looking over photos of Kid Flash's yellow strike from a few days away. It was photographic poorly there was no telling who the strike was. He mauled over the photo.

"Who are you?" He muttered to himself.

Monica soundlessly appeared into his office. "Kid Flash."

Snapper eyes lifted up from the photos to a woman standing overly confident in his office. She had her hands in her pocket of her black denim overalls.

"And you are?"

"That's not important. I came to this poorly decorated office to tell you, Kara Danvers won't be in for a few days."

"That rookie will-"

"She is working on an impressive story about the new crime fighting unit that's been appearing around the city. Kara has the exclusive. This environment isn't conducive for such interviews."

Monica had Snapper Carr's full attention. "Unit?"

"Kid Flash.." She pointed at the photo. "He is just one member of many."

"How many?"

"Only Kara knows that answer. I'm just the messenger." She headed toward the door.

"Who are you really?"

Monica opened the door, looked over her shoulder. "What happens after light hits a glass pyramid?"

She continued to walk out of his office. Snapper baffled by the riddle. On her way out she'd bumped into a bald man with cheap shoes and a bag slung across his shoulders. "Watch it, Dumbo" The bump itself almost knocked him to the ground spilled his coffee all over his shirt. Monica reached the elevator headed back to the H.A.T.E headquarters.

========21========

Monica flew down to oh so similar balcony attached to her bedroom. She opened the balcony door to see Lena sitting up slowly. Kara was nowhere to be found. She sped over to Lena helping her get up. "Baby, you ok?'

"Was she ours?" Despite look in Lena's eyes.

Monica tightened her jaw sat down next to Lena, "She? You think it's a girl?"

"Answer me, Nova."

"Yes."

Lena's hands trembled the baby's face tattooed in her mind, "I think... I love her."

"You want her?"

The question sent Lena into a deep thought. She knew she had to answer it correctly the first time. It was moments like this that change people's lives either for the better or the worse. The way she had been raised it still haunted her. Longing to know where she came from stemmed a want for a real family all of her life. Monica had been the only person that gave her pure happiness. In college, if she was offered the opportunity to start a family with Monica. There is no doubt in her mind she would have said yes. Kara was in the picture now. They had only one day together. Again things were changing rapidly. "She had my eyes..." she thought. L Corp was far from her mind if needed it could run itself in her absences.

Security cameras detected a flying object heading toward the front door. Wally flashed to the main door, he opened it on guard. Kara was standing with a small bag in her hand. He greeted her escorted her to Monica's level. Small talk about how he met Monica revealed who he really was to Kara. There were blanks in her memory because of the denominators mind control. Barry Allen hardly mentioned Wally or that he had powers similar to his own. He kept quiet about knowing she was Supergirl. Kara stood at Monica's apartment door listening inside of the apartment.

Lena cleared her throat, "Yes." She appeared more certain than she actually was.

Monica took her hand looking at her. Lena met her gaze. "I love you, Lena."

"I love you too," Lena said, her voice softening.

Kara overheard everything. Monica reached inside of the end table and grabbed a small shot. She looked for a vein on Lena's arm. Injected her with two weeks worth of liquid nutrients.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed

She stood up unclipped her overalls in front of Lena letting the denim hit the floor stepping out of it. She lunges at her, pushing Lena back against the bed. Before she knows it, she had got both of her hands in one of Monica's in a vice-like grip above her head, and she was pinning Lena down to the bed using her hips. Holy shit. Her other hand grabs her ponytail and yanks down, bringing her face up, and her lips to her own. It's only just not painful. Lena moaned into her mouth, giving her tongue an opening. She takes full advantage, her tongue expertly exploring her mouth. She'd have never been kissed like this before. It was rough in ways that awaken a lust she hadn't known she had. There's used to be a fine line between pain and pleasure. Right now it was blurred. A brush of wind went over her bare skin. She was naked except for her lace panties and bra. Kara could hear the heavy breathing filling the bedroom. She looked down feeling ashamed but she needed to see. Using her x-ray vision she watched as Monica kissed down Lena's sensitive neck. Her hand reached for the door handle. A wave of jealousy went over Kara.

Monica bit down on Lena supple breasts, returning to her lips for a second. She spread open her legs begging. She ignored her want to have her way with her mouth for a while. Another breeze and her bra were off. Released her ponytail to cup her breasts, her hot mouth coursing down to her pink nipples. Wrapped her tongue around one until it hardened. A moan fled from out of her lungs. Lena fought to be freed from Monica tight grip just to see an arrogant look in her eyes. Undoubtedly she was the weakest in the room. She struggled to keep up with Monica's advances. Ripping fabric revealed her soaked pussy. Kara stopped watching paced back and forth, literally couldn't stop listening. She huffed, "How could they?! Why did she ask me to stay over? If she just wanted Lena." Every bone in her body told her she should go. Truth is, she didn't want to leave it wasn't good enough to run away when she should be fighting. A knock at the door, pulled Monica's focus elsewhere.

"Don't stop," she moaned.

Monica looked up scanned the door. "Kara..."

"Wait, what?!"

"It's Kara. I thought she left. Shit." She sprung up looked down at Lena naked body, "Shit."

Within a fraction of a second, the door flung open. Monica's arm rested on the wooden down leaning against it. Kara looked over the Monica dressed only in her tight-fitting aztec boxer briefs and matching soft bra. Sweat was dripping down her chest into the band of her boxers. She was out of breath, trying to collect herself. "Kara, I didn't know you were coming back."

"You… um..." Kara looked over her half naked muscular frame. She was provocative, sexy, delectable - stopped herself from staring too hard. "You invited me to stay the night."

"Come in."

Kara stepped into the apartment. Monica took the small duffle bag out of her hand, placed it on the couch. "How much did you hear?"

"I-I wasn't…"

"Oh good, I'm going to grab some clothes."

Monica flashed to the closet, Lena was standing naked looking for something to wear. She looked over her shoulder, turned seductively. "Fuck me."

"Kara is here." She kept staring at her naked body, "Put some damn clothes on so I can think straight."

Lena made her way slowly in front of Monica. A single fingertip touched her sculpted abs running down her to the waistband. She gulped. "Lena..."

Her eyebrows rise at her persistence. She reluctantly stopped put on one of Monica's oversized black t-shirts and boxers. Damn, she looked so appealing in her clothes. It was an utter lie to say she didn't want to obey Lena's demand. She quickly dressed and dashed them into the living room. Kara was in the same spot with a distract look on her face.

"Kara? You ok?" said Lena

"I thought you both wanted to be with me. How could you do that without me?" Kara crossed her arms.

"Kara..." Monica said

"Don't say my name right now! What did you show her that made her change her mind about me?" Monica's eyes flashed baby blue. Kara was angry with her. She hated herself for upsetting Kara. She just looked down thoroughly defeated.

Lena went to Kara rubbed her arm, "She showed me our future together, that's it."

"Why do you want each other more then?"

"We're just more familiar. I want you so does Lena." Nova said, her gaze still on the floor.

Lena kept her attention on Kara. "I didn't know you wanted to be more intimate."

"I do. I want both of you. Why can't I have that?"

Lena looked at both of the women that meant so much to her. "You can. Let's be together all of us."

The next morning, Wally and Monica stood outside in the middle of the speed track. They had gone over the recruits multiple times compared to who she thought Wally would choose. It was a powerful team. He held his head up high with pride. This was a defining moment for Nextwave. She rose her arm with the specialty arm rings Cisco had made for her with her suit with the materials Tony Stark had gifted her. Trans-dimensional energy charged up the matte black vibranium ring a blue energy field encased her fist then projected outward manipulating all the electromagnetic frequency available. A breach opened, quickly Wally opened the metal box that held the oval devices.

"Now!"

Wally threw each device into the breach with extreme force. Small yellowish lightning bolts flew off the devices as they were thrown inside. Monica closed the breach once each device successfully made it inside. Stumped by how many were thrown in.

"I thought the team was eight members. Why were there only four?'

"You'll see. I just hope they come."
