"I heard you might have seen her last," Pamela said as she listened to her friend go about her wake up routine. There was no reply to her statement, so Pamela just listened. The shower ran while she sat in the seat and waited for Selina to finish what she was doing.
Leaning back, Pamela relaxed as Selina walked back out with a towel around her waist.
Selina looked at her for a moment before walking into her closet, "Yeah, I was able to talk to her not too long ago."
Pamela could only sigh at hearing that. Moving her mind away from such thoughts, she waited for Selina to get dressed. Selina wore a pair of tight-fitting jeans with slashings on the thighs. The top she wore was a loose-fitting blouse, the color of cream, and the heels matched the top. Selina's hair went up into a loose ponytail as she presented herself as ready for lunch.
Selina grabbed a pair of shades then nod towards Pamela, who got up and followed along down the stairs back towards the waiting car outside. Waiting for them was Waylon as she had asked him to before she walked up to get Selina.
"Waylon, what are you doing here?" Selina asked as she pulled down her shades to get a better look at the large guy.
"Yeah, I got myself a legit gig," Waylon replied with a shrug in the large custom suit that he wore.
"Yes, I can see that," Selina replied as she looked back between her long-time friend and the big croc-man. "So, are you going to tell me what you have been up to?"
"A lot has happened over the last few days," Pamela said before smoothly sliding into the back of the vehicle.
Sliding in behind Pamela, Selina gave her a look with a raised eyebrow, "You're going to tell me more, right?"
"Only if you share what you know."

Sitting in a cafe, I relaxed as I enjoyed a nice lunch. The sandwich was chicken on flatbread with three sauce spread on grilled chicken. The day had gone in a way that I had not expected it, but that was okay. Online there was nothing about Brainiac invading, so that would mean that his ship wasn't on Earth with all those civilizations shrunk down for me to raid. The other thing I wasn't expecting was to find a nano-variant of that same Brainiac within Luthor's mind, along with a growing tumor created from the kryptonite radiation.
Staying out of sight, I finished my water and gathered my things before leaving. Of course I didn't forget to remove my DNA from any of it without destroying anything. This was something I have gotten used to. Two blocks down from the restaurant where I had my lunch, the Metropolis convention center where the science fair of the new age inventions was hosted. The convention center was a large triple section monstrosity that the city paid for after one of Superman's fights.
Shaking my head at the thought, I strolled down the sidewalk with a skip to my step. After a short walk, I had my tickets and a wristband that allowed me entrance to speak to some of the inventors who had their various inventions on display. Putting out a slight 'notice me not' field around myself, I spent the next hour and a half checking out the various inventions, but there was this feeling that I was being watched that I couldn't shake.
This was Metropolis, so I knew Clark was around here somewhere, but I had no clue where until my A.I was up and running. The other person I had to be sure to avoid was Supergirl or whatever her name is outside of the costume. Clearing my mind of such thoughts, I kept on walking, but something ran into me that felt like a brick wall.
With a grunt, I paced out a step to keep myself from falling, but what surprised me was the steel grip that grabbed me around the bicep. My head whipped around, and I was greeted with a small blonde girl with piercing blue eyes that felt as if they looked deep within my soul. Well, shit, speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Taking a quick glance around, I didn't see the big blue boy scout anywhere in sight, but I did notice the people looking at me with the little blonde.
"Ohh my gosh sir, are you alright?"
"Kara, you have to watch where you're going."
"Jimmy, get a picture of that, and have you seen Clark, he told me he would be here."
Looking down at the blonde, I had to center myself and play the game that was shoved before me. Kara stood a little over five feet-five inches of pure Kryptonian power. The outfit she wore said farm girl but also a teenage girl that liked to visit the city with the mix of that blouse and jeans combo. The jeans said hard worker but the blouse said girly girl.
"Thanks, and I must apologize, miss?" I asked with a slight bow of the head.
In front of me, Supergirl looked up with blushing cheeks, "Kara, my name is Kara Kent. Sorry about bumping into you."
"No offense was taken," I replied with a small smile of my own before taking a side step as I prepared to turn and leave.
"Kara, who is your friend?"
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr. Doom himself."
I wanted to sigh and then rage, but I couldn't, I had to play this cool because I knew exactly whose fucking trap I was just pulled into and I was not pleased at all with this little situation.
"Of course, you would be here Barbara, but how come I don't see your little puppy?" I asked with a raised eyebrow at the speaker that called my name.
"Haha, he's got you there, Barb." The other lady said as she laughed at the younger girl. "Where is Grayson anyway, I don't think I have seen you this long without him around before."
"And may I get the name of the beauty before me," I asked while keeping the smile on my face as I tried to ignore the bait that Batman sent. I didn't even have to read her mind to know she was sent on a mission, and Clark being Clark folded like a lawn chair and allowed it.
"Lois Lane, reporting for the Daily Planet, and I would like to get an interview with you ." Lois said then she started to fire off questions before I could answer the first.
I had to hold up a hand to cut her off before Lois could go any further with her reports tirade, "Miss Lane, I'm not here in any official capacity. So I will have to turn you down for that interview, but we might be able to reschedule in the future."
With a nod, I turned around and tried to get out of there before I could get sucked back into this trap, but I wasn't so lucky with the vice grip that grabbed ahold of my hand. Looking back, I found the eyes of Kara on me with a smile on her face. Smiling back, I slowly used my telekinetic powers to try and get her hands to release me, but the pressure was far too much, and I couldn't help raise an eyebrow at the girl. If I really wanted I could have her gone with wind but I held in. This was not something I was expecting, which means I would have to put my plans for the boy scout to the side for now.
"Yes, Miss Kent, May I help you," I asked, keeping my voice even and the surprise off my face.
"Well, you seemed lonely, and since you know Barb, I thought you would like to join our group," Kara said with a stunning smile on her face.
Just looking at her I understand why Bruce had Barbara talk her into this because the girl was far too cute to turn down. Kara had the mix of a kitten and little sister feel to her aura and I almost fell for it. My mental muscles might not be strong enough to remove a Kryptonian grip, but I wasn't into jailbait, so I wasn't going to get infatuated with Supergirl.
"My lady isn't here kid, but I'll be fine," I replied as I looked down at the hand that held me in place. I had to point out the word kid because Lois had no mental shields and broadcast kara being in highschool.
Kara gave me a cute pout and then let go of my hand, allowing me to get away from the group.

A few hours went by as I walked around and made mental notes of the various inventions and their applications, but it was also inspiring how my mind could scan each invention then create a mental deconstruction of the device. The things I was discovering I was able to do with the Sage Force were growing more and more each day, almost a thousand people around me and my mental shields were keeping them all out. It goes to show that it was Charles messing with Jean Grey's head that made her so unstable and mentally weak.
There was no way that Jean Grey should have been so weak if she was on the Omega list of powers. Shaking those troubling thoughts out of my head, I turned and ignored the reflection of Barbara Gordon and Kara Kent behind me as they followed me after I shut that little scheme of Batman's down. Laying low or not: Bruce will forever be a paranoid asshole, but at least I'm under the government's radar. Only they can mark me as public enemy number one and have the world after my blood unless I fuck up my approach to Clark Kent and get his Superman persona to mark me.
Walking up to the center display, I took in the information about this new gamma energy array, but it felt off in its calibration. Taking two steps back, I made one more movement to sidestep the tail behind me so I could get away from the device that had a radiation bubble around it.
BOOM!
The earth shook, and the roof collapsed, smoke and darkness surrounded me as I pushed the body that lay on top of me off. There was a hole in the roof above, and my head pounded from crashing into the ground. Touching the back of my head, I found blood on my hands, but I placed that out of my mind because I knew I improved my healing factor. Yet, there was no way I was going to leave behind my DNA. With a quick sweep, I gathered the dust on my blood, then poured out my bottled water diluting the sample down further with another touch I had all of it sink into the concrete. .
BOOM!
I rolled behind one of the display cases and looked around for the sound of the bangs and crashes that sounded as if they were explosions. There was no way I could pinpoint the location with the screaming and the alarms going off, settling down I opened my mind to scan for those around me. What I found surprised me, Barbra still had those martian mental shields, so I ignored that, but the mind next to her felt solid and yet pliable, but it also instantly reacted to my mental probe.
Ignoring the mind that I knew had to belong to Kara, I found Lois doing her stupid trouble magnet thing she does and heads towards the fighting. Turning myself away from Lois, I felt another mind strong and solid, yet this one had a hint of pain that bled through the probing that I did even if I couldn't enter it. The mind that I felt was very similar to Kara was approaching my location rapidly, and I was amazed to see her crash through a wall smashing into another one of the display cases.
Green was the first thing I thought when I noticed the light that shone in the dark. It was a pair of eyes and a glowing chest. I knew that green glow it's the thing that I have been worried about poisoning me, and it's the reason why Luthor was so crazy. This was Metallo, and he had Kryptonite in his chest. I wanted that rock, and Metallo had to die today, but I had to remove him in a way that wouldn't get me in trouble.
Shifting my weight behind my makeshift defense, I bumped the gama device that was in the center display. That gave me an idea, but I would need another power source and something to boost its overall power. PowerGirl was hit with another punch that forces the very air to scatter, and I took a moment to really think, do I want to get myself caught up in this bullshit.
SPLAT!
There was a spray of blood out of PowerGirls mouth; then I knew I had to do something. Kara was with a knocked out Barbara and Lois, pulling out my phone. I found the live news, and Superman was on the other side of the earth. The way things looked was that they were useless, and I had not only fallen into a trap by Bruce but also Luthor because there was no other way that Metallo would show up if he wasn't sent here.
I took a broad look around me and noticed the camera's that were still up and recording the situation. Taking a deep breath, I ran and slid on over behind another display case and grabbed the Ion energizer from the top. I couldn't keep the grin off my face once I started to cannibalize both machines to create something new. There was another bang, and I had to move because I felt a rapidly approaching aura, and I could only think of that being one person.
With a commando roll out of the way, I made it clear in time to miss the body of PowerGirl being launched towards my hiding spot. Things were set, and I just had to wait on Metallo so I could ambush him.
I waited and waited... then there were the steps, slow but steady steps. PowerGirl was down for the count, and Superman was nowhere in sight. My thrummed within my chest like a drum, and my fingertips were moist from the adrenaline that pumped through my veins. Taking slow deep breaths, I had to look around me and make sure that there was no glass for me to crunch under myself and not give away my position. A shadow loomed closer and closer, but I had to creep back slowly to keep myself out of the line of sight from the approaching menace.
The steps were heavy yet slow, and I knew that Metallo was trying to savor the moment before Superman came back, and I was going to use this to my advantage. So many calculations and so many traps and plots I could play to make this happen. I heard the crunch of the steps Metallo took as he got closer, and I watched him with the light from the broken roof.
Slowly, I stalked my prey. I watched as Metallo raised his foot and prepared to slam it down on the bumpy chest of PowerGirl, and that when when I struck. Raising up behind the so-called SuperVillian, I blasted him in the back with my own cannibalized version of a magnetic ION scrambler.
"AARRGGHH!" Metallo screamed as his body parts began to separate and fall apart.
The arms broke and fell off, and then the legs blew off next. The torso fell as the components fried themselves, releasing smoke from the mouth and the blown-out eyeballs. While all that was happening, I clamped the inside lead lined frame that held the kryptonite. The case closed around the stone, and I sent it away with my telekinesis. The stone flew into the air vent and out the side of the building into a dumpster.
Throwing the mini canon away, I walked up to the recovering PowerGirl as she tried to catch her breath with her hands on her knees.
I stood there, breathing hard as my adrenaline bled out of my system, raising an eyebrow at the beauty before me I took in the look of her. When the comics said she was busty, they didn't give PowerGirl enough credit. Power Girl was stacked and built like a shapely amazon. She looked like a far better version of the smaller sized her. Womanly curves and a dashing smile that showed one dimple. The leotard that she wore was all white with that classic boob window from the comics. Blue gloves and boots that went with the red cape that completed her costume.
PowerGirl stood up, and I noticed she stood at five-eleven, yet still not my height, but I knew better. I might be taller, but this woman could kill me easily, if I couldn't touch her faster than again it's not like it would really kill me of course when you can touch soul and spirit it's easy to change bodies even though I won't be doing it, and this was the version that came from another reality. I knew that version of PowerGirl was a hard case and would kick ass.
"You know hitting Metallo with your laser beams from a thousand feet from up high would be a lot better than throwing around punches," I said as I held my hand out to help her up. The blond bombshell before me glared at me then knocked my outstretched hand aside.
"I'm a hero, not a killer," PowerGirl growled out as she stood up tall.
Shaking my head at her, I decided to cut her off and shoot back before she said anything else, "He isn't dead just offline and hitting him from a mile high wouldn't kill him if you combined your visions and tag his power source before you encounter him in a fight. Work smarter, not harder."
