105 - Red

Smoke covered the skyline in the City of tomorrow,

Destruction and desperation dominated the day.

LexCorp tower that stood like a Giant among the skyscraper of Metropolis was up in smoke. Its defenses neutralized, its security hacked. Lex's multi-million dollar office thrashed and the Vault ransacked by nothing but third-rated thugs in a power suit.

Gangsters wearing advance powersuits flew around as they wreaked havoc. Firing their plasma bolts at everything. Civilians fled in every direction, their panicked cries filled the street as they scattered from the epicenter of the trouble.

In the midst of all the destruction, Supergirl hovered above, her hair whipping in the wind, her cape billowing behind her. Her eyes blazed with Heat-vision, searing through two of the armored thugs as they tried to outmaneuver her in the air.

Their suits glowed red as part of the heavy armor melting away. The thugs lost control of the Suit and plummeted to the ground.

"Two down," Kara muttered as she locked on to her nearest target.

She blasted those that were far away with Heatvision before rushing towards her next target. The thug reacted by raising his energized fist and took a swing. Kara did not entertain as she grabbed his hand and crushed it. He screamed in pain as blood trickled through the crumbled metal. Kara didn't care as she just palmed him towards the Lex's building, crushing his chest plate in the process.

Kara turned to the others, her eyes blazing, ready to take others out quickly as possible. But the gangsters weren't ready to back down. Instead they raised their blaster. The blasters glowed red as they aimed their collective blast directly at her. With a surge of light, the blaster fired, the energy bolts slammed into her with surprising force.

Kara braced against the attack, her arms shielding her face as she was pushed back several feet in the air. Kara felt the energy subside after a long aggravating moment, her skin stinging from the attack. In the momentary gap, she rushed forward in a blur of blue and red, closing the distance.

The thugs change to quick fire, firing bolts of energy, trying to keep Kara away from them. Kara easily maneuvered around the volley red bolts, countering those in the distance with her heat-vision as she completely close the distance.

Her fist met the barrels of the blaster aimed at her face, crumbling it like a tin foil before delivering a crushing uppercut to the thugs jaw, blasting him into the Lex tower.

"Another down,"

Kara took a breath, but suddenly she heard it—A high pitch hum that grew louder with every passing second. Her ears picked up the sound before her eyes could locate its source. She turned just in time to see another thug in a power suit fitted with weird cylindrical devices on his arm, raising it towards her.

*BOOOOM*

Before she could react, the weapon discharged with a deafening boom, sending waves of concentrated sound straight at her. Kara's super-hearing picked up every decibel, the chaotic symphony, the auditory input assaulting her sensitive ears like a knife. She clutched her head, eyes squeezing shut as the vibration penetrated through her skull.

The world became a blur of noise, overwhelming her senses, pushing them out of control.

"Argg," She groaned, her finger digging into her hair, her body curling forward. Her vision redden as she fought to stay airborne and regain control over her senses.

Seizing this opportunity, the remaining gang members closed in, their Jet-pack roaring as it send them rushing towards her. Energy blasters flared to life, sending streams of hot plasma towards her vulnerable form.

Kara gritted her teeth, her enhanced vision struggling to focus through the auditory assault. Each shot from their weapon hit like a hammer blow, the plasma scorching her suit and skin as she flew back, crashing through one of LexCorp's large office Windows.

Kara's body skidded through the flood before she hit a concrete pillar.

"You got no where to run, Supergirl," The man said cockily, point the sonic blaster at her.

Kara struggle to get back on her feet, the constant barrage of sound continuing to assault her. She glared at the man, her eyes burning with rage.

"It hurts, doesn't it," The thug grinned, nodding toward Kara's hand.

Kara turned to her hand, blood trickling down from her wound. glasses edged into it. She turned back to the thug, biting her tongue, drawing blood.

The pained dulled the sounds. Her eyes narrowed before she looked eyes with the thugs. Ignoring her ringing ears, she forced forward. She launched herself at the thug, ignoring the burning plasma blasts as she crashed into him, tearing the Sonic blaster from his hand. She crushed the device and use them as projectile to attack other thugs.

With it the high-pitched screeching lessened, giving her a moment's of reprieve.

But the fight was not over,

The other thugs pressed the attack firing pulse of concentrated energy, one managing to hit her square in the chest, sending her skidding across the floor. Another lunged at her wielding a plasma blade.

Kara ducked under the blade and grabbed the thug by the arm, but her strength whined as she only manage to twist blade out of his hand. Kara quickly pulled and used him to shield from the blast before kicking him in the chest. The armored man slicked across the floor and knocked other thugs off the feet like a bowling ball.

Another energy blasts were fired from across the room, forcing her to take cover behind a steel pillar. The remaining thugs regrouped, switching their tactics. One of them unloaded a device from another back, placing it on the floor before he began activating. The device opened, revealing coils pulsing with red energy.

"I got to say, you supers are tough," A thug shouted, shooting the pillar. "But you all got fatal weakness and Lex... Lex knew to use them. He was good at them.

Red light, its weakens you. Its makes you human. It make you kissable."

*boom*

The device released a red energy pulse. The pulse spread through the floor, coloring everything red, massing the light distort in the air. Kara didn't know what it was, but she felt trouble.

Kara took a deep breathe, her head still ringing from the sonic assault. But she was adapting and she was not yet done.

Without warning, she burst into action. Garbing the plasma blade, she threw it at the device. The Plasma blade lodged itself into the device, destroying it. Kara quickly followed behind, delivering a body slam to the nearest Thug, caving the chest plate of the armor. She spun just in time to dodge another strike before grabbing them by the leg and threw them across the room.

In the midst of the chaos, one of the thugs—desperate—powered up another sonic blaster. But this time, Kara was ready.

She zoomed forward, her fist outstretched. She smashed the sonic blaster with one punch, sending the thug crashing to the ground in a shower of sparks.

"You guys should really learn when to quit," Kara said, brushing the dust off her suit.

Just when it seemed like she had the upper hand, one of the thugs fired a blast from behind. It hit her square in the back, the force sending her tumbling down the broken window.

"Titch," Kara clicked her tongue as she fell from the high-tower.

She quickly tried to regain her flight, but couldn't. Her power faltered, energy from the plasma bolts weakening her. Her body was out of energy and the last blast emptied her tank. To her dismay, she was falling on the side of the shadows. Kara could only think of other ways to survive,

But suddenly, a sound of raving engine, rushing close. Kara twisted her body, now facing ground. Her eyes widened as she saw a bike race up the building, leaving a golden trail as it rushed straight at her.

And bafflingly, a red bulky alien with four arms rode the bike, his fanged grin reminding her of someone. He reached his hand out, grabbing her by the waist.

"You are wasted," The alien spoke in a gruff voice, his other free arm pulling a disk from somewhere and attaching it to her back.

The device activated with a blue glow and Kara felt a sensation similar to how a human would feel when they were injected with Adrenaline. Her solar energy peaked, her eyes glowing red as she fully charged up and then some in an instant.

Four-Arms rode the bike up the Building, rushing past the thugs to the very end of the skyscraper. The path ended, sending them flying up the air. Kara turned to the blazing up, taking a deep refreshing breath as her eyes focused again.

They began to fall. The bike transformed into a wolf as it landed on the ledge, leaving Four-Arms and Kara to free fall. Four-Arms reached to his hand, pulling two bolt guns in his lower arms.

"Throw me," Four-Arms suggested as he extended his free hand.

Kara grabbed his big hand without delay, twisting her body and throwing the massive creature at the flying thugs. Four-Arms grinned as he flew towards the Thugs. crossing his upper arms to create a forcefield.

The thugs fired their blaster, none managing to penetrate the shield.

Four-Arms cut the distance before opening up, his bolt guns firing at the flying thugs. His blots connected with 75% accuracy, each bolt crushing the heavy armored suits. The thugs moved, avoiding the rain of bolts.

But one by one, thugs vanished.

Four-Arms grabbed a retreating thug, riding him into the Lex corp. He crashed through the floor, rolling down the floor before he stood, standing before tens of armored Thugs. But as Four-Arms stood fully, he towered over the Power suit wearing thugs. He grinned, meeting the eyes of the confused thugs.

The Thugs raised their guns firing at him. He quickly crossed his arm, creating a force field as he charged at them. The plasma bolts, again, could not penetrate his shield. One of the thugs rushed forward, his plasma sword at his hand.

But Four-Arms met the Man at the center, his hand grabbing the plasma blade without fear. He ripped the blade from the thugs hand before he plunged it back into the thugs torso. He then lifted the man with ease before throwing him towards other and jumped to the side, dodging the flurry of Plasma bolts.

Four-Arms shot the thugs while hiding before the crubling pillar, his each bolt claiming a limb from the Thugs. After losing a few limbs, the thugs learned to hid, but the had over looked.

Overlooked a very angry woman who had regained her strength.

A figure blurred into the building, catching a man and throwing him threw twenty floor down Lex's building. Kara levitated a feet off the floor, her cape rustling in the wind through the destroyed walls.

Her eyes glowed red while her fist seem to glow, She was pissed beyond words. Her body began to blur as she dunked Thugs one by one through the Lex building. She was doing so to reduce damage to the surrounding buildings.

"Leave some for me." Four-Arms shouted as he ran toward the few remaining Thugs.

He pulled out the lodge plasma blade out the device before he threw it like a spear towards one and removed two more limbs before tussling with the remaining thug. The thug in desperation swung with his charged fist.

But Four-Arms used the bolt gun to removed the hand before he lifted the man above his head and smashed him to the floor. Finishing the final power suited thug.

*pew*

A Plasma bolt hit him,

"You.." A thug shouted, his voice heavy.

Four-Arms turned to the lying man, his hand crushed while his other grabbed the blaster shakily. Four-Arms snorted at the man's pathetic attempt He lifted his bolt gun and removed the hand holding the blaster.

The man shouted, looking at his scattered arm, his blood, muscle, bone and armour scattered all around.

Four-Arms stood still for a moment, watching the man cry in pain. But he hand no pity, he had seen the damage these thugs caused. They had killed 30 security guards in LexCorp alone. There were civilian counts, children, mothers and father.

He switched the Bolt gun to non lethal and ended the man's scream. He then turned to Kara who was floating to his right. His eyes looking at her with question.

"You are taking your time," Kara commented, landing on the ground only for her to stumble forward.

Four-Arms quickly held her up, "You are a mess," He said with a chuckled as he made a mess of her hair trying to move it away from her face.

Kara pushed his hand away, not wanting his help. "I am fine, I need to just rest," She answer, walking toward the broken window.

Zion transformed back, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."."

Kara turned at his words, her brows creased into a frown. "What are you talking?"

"You need help and I am hear to help."
