Neutron unleashed another blast towards Supergirl, leaving her only a blink of the eye to get out of the way. The stream of energy strikes the wall behind her, melting it like butter in the microwave. Even though it didn’t hit her, the radiation made her woozy. Clark had been on the planet long enough where powerful radiation didn’t affect him, but Kara didn’t have the same luck. This fight was going to have to end soon if she had any chance of coming out okay.

And she was not planning on dying on her first day on the job.

“You look like you’re feeling ill, Supergirl,” the villain mocked her. “Maybe you should take a seat!”


He fired another stream at her, which struck her in the chest, sending her reeling. She slammed into a marble column, sending the rock collapsing on top of her. It hurt like hell, but it also gave her an idea on how to take this guy out. His mocking words were more than just a mind game. He needed to charge up his blasts. He mocked because he didn’t have a choice otherwise.

That’s all Kara needed.

She popped back up, prepared for yet another energy attack. Like clockwork, it came towards her, and she easily stepped out of the way. Before she had to hear another word out of his mouth, she took a deep breath and let loose a powerful gust of super breath. The incredibly frigid air strikes the villain, and almost instantly the nuclear reaction fueling him grinds to a halt in front of her. She continues, and before long Neutron is frozen solid in the middle of the bank.

Kara exhales deeply as the sound of helicopters reach her ears. The sound of ARGUS helicopters, to be specific. Whether or not the leaders of ARGUS were people to be trusted, they were the Justice League’s only option for superhuman detention. 

The helicopters landed outside and a wave of agents rush in, surrounding Kara and the frozen villain. She nods at the Neutron-sicle, “You’re gonna want to keep that as cold as possible. If not, he’ll get out. Once you have him at a secure location, keep him in a radiation proof room. That’s the best way to keep him off the streets.”

“Thanks, Supergirl,” one of the agents smiled as they began to take Neutron away. 

Kara walked with them, emerging to applause from Metropolis’s citizens who had gathered outside the bank. She smiled and waved meekly at them. She had seen Clark do this so many times, and he made it look easy. She was different. She wasn’t someone that took the admiration and attention all that well. She appreciated it, sure. But it still made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

“Nice threads, Supergirl!” a familiar voice said from beside her. She turned to find the smiling face of Jimmy Olsen snapping pictures. “Looks just like the big guy’s costume.”
“I think that was the idea, Jim,” she smiled back.

“Supergirl!” Lois Lane came up behind Jimmy. “Can I get a statement for the Planet?”

“Sure, Ms. Lane,” Kara nodded. “I stand by what I said at the funeral. My cousin’s mission is now all our mission. I’m here to take up his fight in Metropolis, and no one attacks this city without hearing from me.”

With that, she took off and headed home.

Kara rubbed her eyes as she stared at the screen analyzing Neutron’s attack on the base. Next to her, Kelex stood analyzing the data as well. She could hear his circuitry and sevos running as he looked for any sign of how the man got his powers.

“This is Intergang. I know it.”

“It seems likely,” Kelex agreed. “They do enjoy stealing. Though we’ve never seen power like this from them before.”

“Well...let’s hope the computer finds something,” she sighed. “In the meantime, I’m gonna try to find out where Intergang’s hideout is.”
