Chapter 2 Old Grudges
"Any news yet?" Kara asked her sister.
"Nothing whoever attacked you hasn't been seen." Alex said.
"Unfortunately thats not true." Hank said walking in the center of the room with a displeased look on his face.
"What is it?" Alex asked.
"I just got off the phone with the president and apparently your friend who's being called the Ghost Rider now is under the protection of the country." Hank said shocking them.
"WHAT? Why?" Kara asked in disbelief.
"Apparently General Lane knows who the Ghost Rider is and has him and all his people under his protection as military assets. They all agreed willingly." Hank said.
"How many Pyros are we talking here?" Kara asked afraid of the answer.
"A few hundred give or take. Whoever this leader of theirs is has connections to General Lane otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to this." Hank said.
"So what the DEO works with them now?" Alex asked.
"If we have to then yes thankfully it looks like they want to avoid her for as long as possible." Hank said.
"What did I ever do to them? I understand that the war cost them a lot but it wasn't my fault or Superman's at all." Kara said.
"Old grudges never fade that easily." Hank said.
"Theres more isn't there?" Alex asked.
"Yes General Lane is coming here in a few hours to talk the terms of their involvement in our operation and SuperGirl has to be here." Hank said.
"Oh no I'm not going anywhere near them." Kara said.
"Sorry but you have to since you need to be here for parts that involve your assistance." Hank said making her sigh.
Later
Soon General Lane arrived out of a vehicle with his traditional military uniform showing four stars while the Ghost Rider stepped out with a hood and mask covering his face.
"General Lane a pleasure." Hank said.
"Director Henshaw. I believe you know my associate the Ghost Rider." Lane said.
"A pleasure sir." Ghost said.
"I honestly wish I could say the same but you did brutally beat one of my agents." Hank said.
"Old grudges die hard. Now where is she?" Ghost asked as Supergirl flew down. "Ah there you are. I was almost afraid you wouldn't come out of fear." Ghost said making her frown.
"Enough. Now lets talk terms since I would rather not have these two making a scene just for the hell of it." Lane said
Hours later
"WHAT!" SuperGirl yelled in anger.
"You heard me Kryptonian. In the event theres a threat even you cant handle I will deal with it myself or one of my warriors. Besides you are only just beginning to learn the full potential of your own powers. Not that you should use them anyway since they cause more harm then good." Ghost said.
"Why you..." SuperGirl tried to say.
"Enough." Sam said making Ghost snort. "Now then I for one am in agreement with this proposal. There are other aliens even you cant handle." Sam said making SuperGirl frown.
"But my people can handle anything." Ghost said.
"You mean other then your second bloodline." SuperGirl said under her breath but Ghost Heard her.
"What did you just say?" Ghost said not amused.
"What happens when one of the more violent Pyro's show up?" SuperGirl said glaring at him making him growl.
"Your lucky I don't kill you because of that remark. I'm allowing you to live because the people seem to be supportive of you despite the fact you don't deserve their respect. Especially considering your people destroyed their own planet." Ghost said in her face making her growl.
"Both of you..." Sam tried to say.
"THATS ENOUGH!" A male voice yelled making everyone look and saw a man in military uniform with five stars on his shoulders with a few medals of honor on him. He had white skin grey hair and brown eyes.
"Tom, you're late." Sam said making Tom roll his eyes. This was Tom Kruger, Sean's father one of the highest ranking generals in the military.
"Sorry Sam I got held up in a meeting." Tom said.
"Sir?" Ghost said.
"Ghost your out of line you promised you wouldn't let the past get in the way of this meeting." Tom said making Ghost Snort before glaring at SuperGirl who glared back.
"Not my fault this Kryptonian bitch cant learn her place." Ghost said making her growl in anger.
"You..." SuperGirl said in anger.
"ENOUGH!" Tom yelled getting them to stop. "Now then I believe the terms are appropriate however in regards to SuperGirl going against those she cant handle alone the Pyros will have to assist her and I don't want any complaints about it from any of you understood?" Tom said getting the higher ranking Pyros groan in annoyance making Supergirl grin that she had an ally on her side.
"What are you smiling about bitch?" One of the female Pyros said making her frown.
"Enough." Tom said. "Ok I think we're done lets go." Tom said.
"Agreed." Sam said as the group left.
"Finally." Supergirl said.
Outside Tom and Sam got into one of the trucks with Ghost before Ghost took off his face mask revealing himself to be Sean, Tom's son.
"Damnit boy you promised me you wouldn't let this happen." Tom said making Sean sigh.
"Oh come on dad. They ruined our planet because of the unneeded war they started with us. I say its payback time." Sean said.
"He has a point." Sam said.
"Sam you're not helping here. Look I'm just as pissed off about that as well but thats ancient history and they didn't destroy our planet our other half did. Now I expect you to stop doing this shit and act like a Leader got it." Tom said making Sean sigh.
"Fine." Sean said.
Later
Kara was at her desk before a certain someone dropped by.
"Hello." Sean said behind her making her jump up before she turned and saw him and laughed.
"I told you to stop doing that." Kara said laughing making him smirk.
"Sorry couldn't help it. So whats up with you?" Sean asked noticing she looked annoyed.
"Oh this guy my sister has to work with is pissing her off and a few others." Kara said.
"Oh yeah? Maybe I could help." Sean said making her shake her head in amusement.
"Not like this pretty boy." Kara said making him chuckle.
"Pretty boy?" Sean said amused.
"Anyway I appreciate the help but its out of our hands." Kara said.
"Oh. So anyway I was wondering if you'd like to go out somewhere this weekend?" Sean asked making her eyes bulge out a little.
"You mean like a date?" Kara asked a little hopeful since she's never been on a real date.
"Sure. I'd like to get to know you a little more." Sean said making her smile and blush a little.
"Hey Sean heres that file you asked for." Jimmy said handing him a file.
"Thanks." Sean said looking over it.
"Whats that?" Kara asked.
"Oh just a little bit of small intel based on the known sightings of that Ghost Rider." Sean said.
"Got anything useful?" Kara asked.
"Eh not much just small sightings of him in the city." Sean said.
"Personally I think he needs to be observed for what happened to SuperGirl." Jimmy said.
"Well thats your opinion man but your not the government. Besides no offense to SuperGirl but she doesn't work for the military like these guys do." Sean said making Kara raise an eyebrow.
"Whats that got to do with anything?" Kara asked.
"Eh its just a military thing." Sean said shrugging his shoulders.
