Kara and Brainiac battled in the air until both of them landed in Heroes Park. Kara got back to her feet from the impact. "I have memorized every name so this memorial is no longer necessary," Brainiac said.
He used his laser eyes to blast away at the memorial wall. "Dick move," Kara said punching at Brainiac. It blocked her and threw her into the statue blasting it apart. Kara ended up in a skyscraper a few blocks away. Brainiac then flew over to Lex Corp. tower.
Apache helicopters immediately came to the scene and targeted Brainiac. The helicopter pilots placed their sights on Brainiac. "America," the pilot said as he fired.
Missiles and 50 caliber machine gun fire hit Brainianc all at once. As the smoke cleared, Brainiac remained protected by Kryptonian armor. The helicopters then turned against each other on their own. "I have lost control," the pilots said as their weapons engaged. The helicopters fired on each other destroying themselves.
"Like a bitch," Brainiac smiled a robotic grin.
It was suddenly hit from below sending it high into the atmosphere. Kara continued to punch Brainiac higher and higher until they were almost in space. "Just a little more, and I will punch him into the sun," Kara said to herself.
Washington DC
National Security Adviser Swanwick looked on a computer screen showing Supergirl and Brainiac moving higher into the atmosphere. "She's sending it into outer space," he realized.
"Nuke it," the President said on the phone.
"Mr. President, Supergirl is also up there," Swanwick pointed out.
"Did I stutter?" the President replied.
Metropolis
Kara was just about to send Brainiac into space when an ICBM flew straight for them. "No, this will ruin everything," she said alarmed.
Brainiac stared at the nuke and forced it to separate into smaller individual missiles. "Even with your great speed."
Kara watched in alarm as the nuclear missiles spread out and headed towards American cities. Partial to Metropolis, Kara raced towards the nuke headed there.
Batman was in his Batwing when the nukes fell towards the Earth. He reached for his utility belt and activated an electronic device. "Initiate missile defense shield," he ordered Alfred.
"Coming right up," Alfred said.
Wayne satellites became active and targeted the individual missiles. Laser beams hit each one of the nukes destroying them before they could reach their targets. Kara was unaware of the missile defense shield. She forced the missile headed towards Metropolis upwards and then it exploded into the upper atmosphere. Kara was dazed by the blast and floated in space.
Brainiac landed on an island between Metropolis and Gotham. Batman, in his Batwing, engaged it with machine gun fire. The bullets bounced off Braniac's shell. The Batwing flew off course as Brainiac took control of it. Batman initiated auto-destruct sequence and jettisoned the Batwing. Batman parachuted down to the ground as the Batwing exploded in the air.
"Mr. Wayne, your weakness is a reliance on technology," Brainiac said amused. "I have all the powers of a Kryptonian without the biological weaknesses. My capacity for knowledge is unlimited as well as my ability to adapt."
"Good for you," Batman said irritably.
"You cannot escape the speed of light. This is the end for you, Son of Gotham," Brainiac said coldly. He aimed at Batman and fired laser beams from his eyes.
Batman held up his arms to brace for impact when a figure got in the way. Batman opened his eyes and saw an Amazon Princess before him. Her shield was red hot from blocking the blast, her sword was ready, her armor was tight against her sexy body, and her hair was long and wild.
"I lived without technology for thousands of years. I can handle you," Wonder Woman said confidently. She put her bracelets together sending a shock wave against Brainiac. The impact tossed Brainiac to the ground. Kara then swooped in and punched Brainiac into large oil drums creating a huge fireball. The entire oil plant went up in flames.
Kara dropped down next to the other two. "Was that really necessary?" Batman asked referring to the large oil explosion.
"I just got nuked. Shut the fuck up," Kara said agitated.
Batman smiled at her feistiness and the fact her uniform only covered one boob now. Brainiac calmly walked out of the flames towards them. "This thing controls other machines," Diana noted.
"It comes from another world, my world," Kara replied.
"I've killed things from other worlds," Diana said confidently.
"Is she with you?" Kara asked Batman.
"I thought she was with you," Batman said clueless.
"Dick! We have been going to parties, museums, and exchanging emails for the last few days," Diana said annoyed at Batman.
"You're not supposed to reveal my secret identity," Batman chided.
"I already know," Kara said.
"She doesn't know that," Batman pointed out.
Diana rolled her eyes. "How do we kill it?" she asked.
"I suggest...hitting it really really hard," Batman said.
"You really have nothing to contribute do you?" Kara mocked.
"I just saved the world with my missile defense gadget," Batman reminded her.
Brainiac fired another laser burst towards the three of them. Batman took cover while Diana used her shield. Kara and Brainiac fired at the same time, their respective beams meeting in the center. Kara increased her efforts in her eyes but was overtaken by Brainiac.
"Noob," Braniac smiled.
Diana attacked with her sword but it broke upon impact on his metal chest. "Really?" Brainiac asked her. He punched her to the face sending her across the island. Batman watched as the two female titans battled against the cyborg.
"How did it come to this?" Batman wondered.
Brainiac towered over a fallen Diana. "I must compliment the Greeks for their philosophy. Unfortunately for you all of them were men."
"Without men, we were free from war and oppression," Diana shot back.
"I will grant the same freedom," Brainiac replied.
Kara suddenly struck Brainiac to his robotic face. Her uniform was so torn up that it resembled a bikini with one boob exposed. Brainiac took hold of Kara and kept her still. "I require nude photos of both of you. This knowledge is non-negotiable."
"Sexist: why don't you ask for Batman's nudes?" Kara criticized.
"Mr. Wayne's nudes are already on the Internet," Brainiac explained.
Kara and Diana gave each other looks. Brainiac suddenly let Kara go and fell to his knees. A half-human, half-cyborg black man approached. His right arm featured a laser cannon. "There's only room for one cyborg in this town," he said and blasted Brainiac.
Brainiac suffered a virus attack from Cyborg and couldn't respond. "Get him in the water," Batman said through Cyborg's communications.
"Tracking," Cyborg agreed.
Brainiac cleared the virus in his system and confronted Cyborg. "I will assimilate you."
A red blur hit Brainiac several times distracting him. The Flash then disengaged allowing a large green fist to slam into Brainiac. The cyborg was tossed into the water from the impact. Flash then appeared next to Batman.
"You think this will work?" Batman asked him.
"If it doesn't...I'll simply go back in time, and we can try again," Flash replied.
"Kind of takes the tension out of things," Batman said disappointed.
"Remember, Lois is the key," Flash reminded him.
"The key to what? She's useless," Batman doubted. "And I thought it was Jimmy."
"Who is Jimmy?" Flash wondered.
Green Lantern landed on the island and stared out to sea wondering if Brainiac would come back up. Suddenly, there was a depth charge explosion that sent water high into the air and showered the whole island. A figure in black appeared with Braniac's head mounted on his trident.
"Is this trash yours?" he asked.
"The legendary Aquaman," Diana expressed.
"It's Aqua King, bitch," Aquaman said irritably.
"I thought you were blond and wore an orange suit," Flash wondered.
"That was the previous King of Atlantis, but I kicked his ass. Now, I'm King," Aquaman explained.
"Sounds legit," Flash agreed.
Kara flew down and impacted the ground loudly. "Who is this? Do I have to kick his ass, too?" Kara asked.
"Ha! You've lost every fight this night," Batman mocked.
"Laugh it up, I can kill you with my heat vision from a mile away," she said angrily.
Brainiac's eyes suddenly glowed on top of Aquaman's trident. It fired on Kara slicing through her exposed breast and out the other side. Kara gave the robot head a shocked look and then fell to the ground. A green bubble appeared around Brainaic's head. It fired again but couldn't get past the green energy field. Green Lantern suspended Brainiac's head and gradually disintegrated it.
"That's your bad, man," Cyborg accused Aquaman.
"I don't have to answer to you. Screw you guys, I'm going home," Aquaman said and then went back into the sea.
"Go back in time and fix this," Batman demanded of Flash.
"You see, I would, but it takes a lot of energy. I'm not really up to it right now," Flash said apologetically.
The remaining Justice League members stood over Kara's dead body. "We must preserve her secret identity. For Martha's sake," Batman said.
"Yes," Diana agreed.
"So, we need to find a blond woman that fits her height," Batman said.
"I can find one in a flash," Flash smiled.
"No, you're not going to kill a random blond," Diana said horrified.
"What do you care?" Batman asked.
"I have to defend womankind," Diana said.
"Yeah, because women weren't being killed in wars over the last hundred years," Batman mocked.
"I don't have to answer to you," Diana said angrily.
"I can make a replica of her with my ring but it will be green," Green Lantern said helpfully.
"That isn't going to work," Cyborg disagreed.
"Why not make Diana's hair blond and have her sedated in the coffin?" Flash suggested.
"I like it. I have the very thing," Batman said.
"No, you can't just change my hair color and think people are going to buy it. Just claim she was vaporized and have an empty coffin," Diana said obviously.
Cyborg took out a device that created a hologram projection of Supergirl. "We will use this," he said.
"Good idea," Flash complimented.
The remaining Justice League members then departed leaving Kara's body on the island for the Feds to find.
Downtown, Metropolis
Lex Luther looked out the windows of his office on top of Lex Corp. tower. In the distance, he could see the flames of the battle between the Justice League and Brainiac. Suddenly, the lights went out and his guards outside his office cried out in pain as they were subdued.
Batman then appeared before Lex Luther. "They haven't taken you to jail?" Batman wondered.
"Silly, they never take billionaires to jail, not even for killing people," Lex smiled.
"I know, right," Batman said knowingly.
"Why are you here?" Lex asked nervously.
Batman said nothing. He merely took out a pole with a bat symbol on the end. It glowed red. "If you put that away, I'll tell you what you want to know," Lex offered.
"I already know everything," Batman said confidently.
"Not this you don't," Lex said confidently.
"What?" Batman asked annoyed and put down his pole.
"When Brainiac became loose, I made some calls," Lex said anxiously.
"To whom?" Batman wondered unimpressed.
"I used the Kryptonian ship to send a distress signal to another galaxy. Darkseid is coming," Lex said excitedly.
Batman simply stared at Lex. "So, you still going to brand me?" Lex asked fearfully.
"No, I am not going to use this to brand you. I'll wait until they eventually send you to jail, when your billions are gone, and you're nothing," Batman said.
"Thank you, thank you!" Lex said appreciatively.
"I am going to be shoving this up your ass though," Batman clarified and advanced on Lex.
Lex gave a shriek but no one could hear him.
Smallville, Kansas
A funeral was held in Smallville, Kansas. Lois and Jimmy were both present to give Martha comfort. "She was very hawt," Mrs. Kent," Jimmy said sympathetically.
"I know, Jimmy," Martha said sadly.
Bruce and Diana stood off to the side. "I'm surprised you came. The other day, you were trying to kill her, because she was a threat to humanity," Diana said.
"Kryptonians aren't a challenge for me anymore. There's someone bigger and more powerful coming. I can feel it. When he arrives, I am going to kill him," Bruce smiled in anticipation.
"In the meantime, you can try to kill me," Diana said flirtatiously.
Bruce nodded amused by the challenge. "You owe me five hundred bucks," Diana said seriously.
"For what?" Bruce questioned.
"I had to get off my flight to save your ass. I'm not going to get a refund from the airline," Diana said.
"I had the situation under control," Bruce said dismissively.
"Was that before or after you were nearly vaporized by Brainiac?" Diana asked.
"After...," Bruce muttered.
"Just give it up," Diana pressed.
"Are you that poor?" Bruce asked condescendingly.
"Sorry, I'm not a billionaire like you," Diana said.
"You've been alive for five thousand years, and you're telling me you haven't been able to acquire riches beyond imagination?" Bruce asked.
"I spent it," Diana said embarrassed.
"This is why I never got married," Bruce muttered.
"Stop being such a Scrooge," Diana chided.
Bruce handed Diana a bunch of wadded up one-hundred dollar bills from his pocket. "I am going to need something in return though."
Diana sighed. "Men."
The coffin was placed in the hole and each person threw dirt on the casket as they passed by. Martha, Lois, Jimmy, Bruce, and Diana stood over the grave. There was a distinct pounding inside the casket. "Let me out!" it said.
"Did you hear something?" Lois asked.
"No," Bruce shook his head.
Everyone else shook their head and then walked away from the grave.
In a Galaxy Far Far Away...
A shade came before the Lord of Darkness' throne to report his travels. "There is a planet of unprecedented beauty and seven billion potential slaves for his Lordship. They pose no challenge except that they are under the protection of a Kryptonian," the shade said.
"Kryptonians are no threat," the Dark Lord replied.
"The system has a yellow son, my Lord," the shade said.
The Dark Lord was stirred by this. "Go on."
"My Lord, the key to defeating the Kryptonian is Jimmy," the shade revealed.
The Dark Lord stared at his shade with demonic red eyes, his large muscles tensed up, and his face was contorted in confusion. "Who the fuck is Jimmy?"
