I was to late, a communication from J’onn told me Clark was closing in on Batman and Lex, it was only due to J’onn pushing his telepathy to its limits that he had eventually found them. There was no one left who could match toe to toe with Clark. That is until she came, we don’t know what made her return. We can only be glad she did, she to would eventually fall at his hands, but then so would I, all what mattered is that we would buy each other time, and she did. She bought me enough.
“STOP”
“Not you, they can’t have sent you”
“They Didn’t Kal-El, I left the league. How could I fight my own cousin?”
“Then what’s changed, you more than anybody knew what she meant to me, he deserves to die”
“There you said it”
“Said what”
“In every interview, in every broadcast, you’ve never admitted that your intention was to kill him, only saying you were going to bring him to justice. I held on to that and believed in it, yet here you are, asking me to not stop you, when you admit you are going to kill him. I can’t let you kill”
“You’re to late”
“What”
“Captain Marvel”
“You killed him”
“He would have killed me”
“He would have had reason to”
“What”
“Kal-El you took apart the league, killed a kid”
“Captain Marvel knew the risks”
“Did Billy Batson, you knew the man behind the cape was a kid, we all did. Got damn it Kal-El, the whole world is scared of you. Many believe I’m the only one who can stop you”
“Do you believe you can stop me?”
“I don’t know what I believe anymore, I believed in you. But look where that has got me, all I know is. I have to try and end this”
Kal-El barely has time to move as the heat vision burns his arm.
“Kara stop, I wont hurt you”
“Yes you will Kal, just like you have hurt everyone else. Half the people you have worked and stood beside as team-mates, you have beat down and nearly killed them”
She fly’s at him with the speed of a bullet, he moves to dodge, slamming his elbow into her face, she reels back, exhaling hard. Kal-El finds his arm frozen in ice all the way past the elbow. He doesn’t need super hearing to pick up on her scream. She’s angry and upset. Fighting like a warrior, she’s tactful using all of her abilities. Her time with the Amazons has clearly paid off.
She staggers him, he goes to counter, only to fail each time. She’s quick, perhaps we never learned how quick. Kal-El always believed that she was his equal and only appeared to be stronger because she had never learned restraint. But right now, my money would be on her. She kicks hard; doubling him over, his face meets a punch. Blood spits freely from his mouth. Every punch he throws is blocked or countered.
“Kal-El please don’t make me do this”
“Its okay Kara, I understand and know now why you would feel you need to stop me. But your wrong, you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone or me. You keep pushing hard trying to make your mark on the world. But you already have, your Supergirl.”
It worked, she stops. Hesitating and for the first time in the fight stops acting like an Amazon. It cost’s her daily, as the hard blow lands in her chest; she feels all the air escape her lungs. For the first time in a long time Kal-El does not hold back, his head connects with her face, her nose breaks and her eyes blur. From here on out it’s a one-way fight. The blows are heavy and fast. Several ribs crack, others break completely, her uniform and skin burns, whilst all she can do is scream. The final blow that ends it consists of two fists striking above her shoulders at the base of her neck. Her collarbones crack, here neck shakes and her ears go deaf. He takes her body and lowers it gently to the ground; she will heal, but not in time. Which means unless Bruce has built the machine needed, I am the only person left to stand in Superman’s way.

“Hurry it up Lex”
“Perfection can’t be rushed”
“Supergirl just crashed and burned, by my count assuming she can make it, that leaves only Diana in his way before he comes knocking at our door. From what I can see, apart from a few large green rocks which we had to begin with, we don’t stand a chance”
“Then you really need to understand quantum mechanics more, I’m finished and once this baby charges I simply need a target”
“How long till it charges”
“Twenty minutes”
“Nineteen two many”
“What”
“He’s here lex”
The building shakes, as he breaks through the defences. A series of electric volts and lasers only really serve as a distraction, he hits the main chamber hard, its lead proof screening has forced him to enter the large cavern unprepared, he sees the kryptonite as it burns his insides, he falls hitting the ground hard. I grab a large chunk and wave for Lex to do the same, hell if he has any sense he’d eat it. Clark is fast and to damn resourceful. He throws the lead lining from the ceiling over the larger pieces, heat vision then seals the deal, he keeps it up and before long apart from the two pieces Lex and myself hold in our hands, the rest is contained.
“Now why is it Bruce, I always knew it would be you to join him”
“Superman listen to me, he deserves to die, but if you do it, the world will change. Every man and woman who wears a mask will be in hiding”
“After what I’ve seen today, I can’t say I care to much either way”
“Damn it Kal-El snap out of it”
“Step aside Bruce, or be moved out of my way like the rest”
“You mean like Billy Batson, or Kara”
“Nice try Bruce, but after losing Louis, I’ve learnt to live with sacrifices”
Batman is smart, moving his body so that’s its between Lex and Clark. His piece of Kryptonite is held out as far as he can, hoping its power over the Krptonian will even the playing fields.
“I can burn your hand off from here Bruce, heck if I aim just right I could maybe take you and Lex out in a single beam”
“Become quite the sadist in the last two days”
“My thoughts are still cleaner than yours will ever be Bruce, you can’t beat me, you don’t even come close”
“Maybe not in strength or speed, but I’ve always had it where it counts”
“Meaning”
“Above you”
The man of steels instincts force him to look above, he sees nothing at first glance “I don’t see anything Bruce, don’t tell me you’ve become a man who bluff’s”
“Look closer Kal-El, and you should know I never bluff”
As Batman dives free to the side, Superman once more looks up, this time he sees what is coming, or more to the point doesn’t see.
The invisible ship lands squarely on his head; the impact sends him to his knees his body compressed firmly into the ground below.

“Bruce get Lex out of here”
“No time Diana, we’ve got what we need, we just need a few more minutes”
“I’ll buy you what I can, but give me room. If I’m going to face him I can’t afford to back down”
“Diana, he will kill you if he gets the chance”
“Let him come” I draw my sword; my armour glistens as my lasso sparkles with the power of the gods. I don’t see my invisible jet move, instead I merely feel the ground shake as Kal-El rises to his feet once more. After all he has faced today, we were right to call him Superman.
“DIANA” his voice has changed completely, its almost alien. All gentleness and innocence is gone. What is left behind is animal rage.
“Stand down Kal-El
“OR WHAT” he moves closer, his limbs already regaining their strength
“Stand Down, or fall at my hands”
“This doesn’t have to end like this”
“I’m an Amazon Kal-El, if it’s to end in battle, then lat the battle be worth the journey” I scream, raising my sword above my head. My only prayer goes out to Hera for the strength to survive just a few more minutes.
To Be Continued…
