章節 59: Supergirl ~ Of Two Evils ~ Part Three

"She's gonna confront Edge at the gala?" J'onn asked in surprise as everyone convened back by the main console.
"She'll get him to do it in front of all the heaviest hitters in National City," Lena nodded. "Everyone will see the Girl of Steel be just like she was when she was Red K-ed before, scaring the living daylights out of a civilian. That's more the vigilantes' style than hers." She paused, then winced. "No offense."
"None taken," Oliver smirked.
"That was a compliment," Laurel chuckled.
"So we need to get to the gala first and get a confession from him before Kara gets to him," Winn nodded.
"And when she shows up, we hit her with the cure," Max walked up. "I just finished running a few tests. It's raring to go."
"My father will be there, too," Lucy warned. "He'll be there to take her down."
"So we'll be trying to hit her with the cure while she's trying to avoid being killed by Lane," Oliver frowned, tapping a finger on the console. "We'll never be able to keep up with her."
"Imra and I could try and help," Mon-El offered. "I mean, I don't know if we're fast enough to shoot Kara with the cure, but we could try and keep her in place, or keep the army off her."
Oliver, however, started to smile. "You don't need to be fast enough." He looked up, grinning widely. "We already know someone who would win in a speed duel against Kara."

"This is one thing I regret leaving behind in National City," Max sighed as he and Lena approached the gala.
"What, you weren't a fan of giving National City more trees?" Lena snorted.
"Nah," Max rolled his eyes. "I swear I was more fake at galas like these than I ever was on camera."
"Right," Lena smirked. "Like you were never fake before?"
"Ouch," Max grinned.
Lucy griped over the comms.
Laurel asked.
"I don't know," Lena frowned. "Look for the shiniest red dress, and I'm sure you'll find the mouth-breather Edge behind it."
Max stopped, then pointed. "Try shiny red
Lena rolled her eyes in disgust when she saw Edge, then sighed when she saw the man in a suit standing nearby. "I should have known about the ear piece."
Max smirked. "Good thing a few others had an idea." The guard suddenly smacked his neck, blinking down at his hand when he didn't find a bug. He jerked again, swatting around himself. "Come on," Max grabbed Lena's arm, hustling her right past. "Smart," he said quietly under his breath.
Malcolm said smugly.
"I've got two pools and a very large hot tub," Edge was sweet talking the woman with him as the two walked up.
"You know, you really should be careful of standing water," Lena smoothly inserted herself into the conversation, Max backing away to keep an eye out for Kara. "It's usually riddled with
The woman eyed Edge nervously, who plastered a very fake smile on his face. "I'll catch up with you later." The woman moved off, and Edge hissed, "How in the hell did you get past my security?"
"I don't know," Lena tilted her head innocently. "It's almost as easy as poisoning a cup of coffee. That was low, even for you. At least crashing a plane had a certain kind of elaborate elegance, but That's just a coward's method."
"No idea what you're talking about," Edge brushed it off, taking a sip of his drink.
"Yeah," Lena nodded, smirking. "You know, I thought you'd say that, so . . . "
She slipped a slim object out of her purse, holding it up for Edge to see. "What is that, some sort of a weapon?" Edge asked. "A bomb? You gonna try to kill me in public?"
"Magician!"
Lena's lips quirked as she tried to ignore Malcolm, Slade, and Laurel over the comms. "No," she said. "I'm actually here to save you."
"From who, yourself?" Edge asked sarcastically.
"Supergirl," Lena answered, making Edge pause. "She went after you tonight, didn't she? You see, she didn't hack into your car, but I know who did. And the person who did it has poisoned her with something that's effecting her mind. And because of it, she's gonna try and come after you again, right here, unless I find a way to stop her."
"Supergirl," Edge chuckled nervously. "America's golden girl, turning rogue to come after Morgan Edge? But why?"
"Because you screwed with her friend," Lena answered, looking up as the fireworks and light show began. "I know how to help her, but unless you confess, she'll come and get it out of you herself. She might even kill you for it, and I don't think either of us want that."
"I have nothing to confess to," Edge shook his head.
"Such a small thing considering your life may be on the line," Lena eyed him. "I mean, granted, you will spend the rest of it in prison, but let's not sweat the details. So me, or a mind warped Girl of Steel." She turned the recorder on, smiling. "Tick tock."
"You're insane, you know that?" Edge protested.
"Admit you tried to kill me," Lena countered.
"Incoming!" Max suddenly yelled.
There was a crash on the table next to them, and Edge and Lena spun around to see Kara stand from her crouch, in full Supergirl regalia. "I warned you I would find you, Edge," she smirked, stepping down off the table she smashed. "And here I am."
"The hell?" Edge scurried backwards, Lena hurrying to get out of the way.
"I believe Ms. Luthor asked you a question," Kara walked right after him, then glared at the guard who tried to stand between her and his client. "I'm not talking to you," she sneered, backhanding him and sending him crashing into a post nearby.
Max pulled Lena back. "Guys?" he reached up to touch his comms. "We could use some backup here!"
J'onn responded.
"We need them here in five!"
Lucy cut in.
Kara barely turned when army vehicles drove up to the gala. "The waterfront," she told Edge, backing him up against the wall. "You remember that, don't you? It's the one you wanted for your development. You weren't very happy about that, were you? And then suddenly, missiles attack the statue unveiling. Coincidence?" she mocked him.
