[color=silver][indent][indent]Yes. She kind of [i]could[/i].

Despite only nine-or-so months into getting a grasp of the true potential of her powers, Kara had at the very least an idea of the fundamentals. Kelex had been keeping track of her direct exposure to sunlight and Kara had been putting herself through trials when she wasn’t passed out in Solitude's personal quarters from overexertion. She had a good idea what the fundamentals of a Earth-based Kryptonian body could do and understood what [abbr=as she learned as she stopped a 747 from crashing into New Troy]amount of weight[/abbr] she could take. Dodging electric blasts were new in [i]practice[/i], but not in theory.

With Livewire only able to use one arm and her energy seeming to weaken by the second, Kara felt pretty comfortable bringing the fight to where the sun shone down on her. Even on a cloudy day she felt better in a place that wasn’t as cramped as an old broom closet. She was still anxious, but she didn't feel like she was going to be feeling like a tweaked out energizer bunny for the rest of the day.

[COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“Wow!”[/b][/color] Kara spun past another burst of lightning.

Livewire seemed to get more frantic and angry, firing multiple blasts of energy as Kara weaved underneath a long metal railing.

[COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“So, I guess you’re bad at moving targets, huh?”[/b][/color] She quipped again, ducking as a bolt flew past her head.

[color=CYAN][b]“No, you’ve just—”[/b][/color]

Kara’s foot slammed into the floor, causing a tremor large enough to cause Livewire to lose her footing.

Before the metahuman could regain her footing, Kara was upon her and she was thrown into the air, caught off guard by the blonde's sheer amount of speed and strength for the second time. Before gravity could pull her back to the ground she felt Kara's grip upon the back of her collar.

[COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“So, I’m going to ask one more time to be nice. What are you guys [i]after[/i]? What’s so important on this rig?”[/b][/color]

Kara swung her arm upward, tossing Livewire further into the skyline. In a way, it was like she was juggling her, capitalizing on her innate lack of preparation for being in her current situation.

[COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“Because I'm guessing your superpower doesn't include 'impervious to becoming a pancake'.”[/b][/color]

[color=CYAN][b]“Screw off! I'm not telling you a thing!”[/b][/color] Livewire managed, though the erratic, almost fearful tone of her voice was pretty clear.

Kara let out a sigh, letting go of her grip, allowing gravity to take control.

[color=CYAN][b]“Wait! What are you doing!”[/b][/color]

The metahuman screamed sharply as she began to plummet to the ground, Kara letting her fall for a good enough distance before making a beeline to her target. As annoyed as she was with Livewire's [i]bravado[/i] the blonde still considered herself a [i]hero[/i] and making somebody go 'splat' wasn't very heroic in her book. Liberty Belle wouldn't have made the mad scientists she faced go 'splat'. Before long, Livewire would feel herself once again in Kara's grip as she stopped on a dime before she dropped her on the deck from a safe but rough distance.

As Livewire [i]plopped[/i] to the ground, landing on her dislocated arm, Kara crossed her arms looking unimpressed.

[COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“Want to go again? I can go again.”[/b][/color]

Heavily panting and grumbling in pain, Livewire held out her one good arm as if to ask Kara to hold off.

[color=CYAN][b]“Look. I—”[/b][/color]

Suddenly, the entire offshore facility shook violently and Kara heard a terrifying, alien sound.
[center][i][h1]- SCRRREEEEEERRE -[/h1][/i][/center]
Kara had never heard anything like it. Her vision snapped to the direction, her vision filtering back to where she could see through objects. The people from before – at the bottom of the facility had summoned something. In only a few seconds they walked through it and disappeared.

[COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“What in the name of Rao?”[/b][/color] She muttered, as if on instinct.

[color=CYAN][b]“Ha.”[/b][/color] Livewire called out. [color=CYAN][b]“You’re too late now. The data is ours.”[/b][/color]

Kara turned back to Livewire, brow raised and her vision back to normal. [COLOR=#81CFFF][b]“What data? What was that noise?”[/b][/color]

[color=CYAN][b]“You’re gonna have to wait for the big surprise, Supergirl.”[/b][/color] The metahuman smirked, wide as she could. The sound of sirens and helicopters in the distance.

Kara took off in a blink as Livewire seemed to pass out. While she wanted more answers from Livewire, she didn't want trouble with the government. But what the hell did she interrupt? What the hell did Stagg have that people who could vanish into thin air want so badly? She had a bad feeling in her gut. For the time being it was back to the Fortress of Solitude; maybe Kelex had picked up something on the computers.

If he didn't... she'd have to wait for the [i][b]big surprise.[/b][/i]

What the heck had Kara gotten herself involved with?
