Hello everyone! Things finally cooled down long enough for me to get back to writing.. Once I'm done with this story I'll publish a new one that I've been working on for a while and continue my other story.

Meanwhile here's a new chapter!

"Jeremiah, do you copy?" J'onn barked into his comm.

"Loud and clear J'onn." Jeremiah's voice came back.

"Good, what's your status."

"It seems like Henshaw has been busy. He's building...things. I'm not sure what they are." Jeremiah replied.

"I'm coming to you." J'onn told him then used his Martian speed to head towards Jeremiah and his crew.

"Where's Alex by the way?" Jeremiah asked, worried about his daughter.

"She stayed back with Lillian and Lena." J'onn assured him.

"So apparently these are very complex machines, their function is still unknown but whatever it is it's not exactly going to help humanity in a good sense."

"Oh on the contrary, it will." a new voice chimed in.

J'onn, Jeremiah and the rest of the DEO agents whipped around, training their weapons on Henshaw's sneering face.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. See, if I press this button," he said gesturing to a yellow button in a controller grasped in his hand, "The whole facility locks down, and if I press that," he pointed to a red button " These machines turn on and you all are goners, Humans, traitors and alien scumbags alike."

"And how exactly are they supposed to kill us?" Jeremiah asked.

"One pipe is going to emit concentrated of carbon monoxide into the whole facility, and after a while another pipe will emit carbon dioxide, allowing the carbon monoxide you inhaled to bond with the carbon dioxide leading to your death. Luckily, I have a gas mask and you don't. And as for the alien scum, I hear that fire makes you vulnerable, the ground you're standing on is slick with faint spots of diluted oil, one accidental flame is all it's going to take for you to go to hell, literally." Henshaw replied, laughing like a maniac.

"Take me and spare their lives. You hate me, an alien scumbag as you said so yourself, you don't have to kill humans to kill me and get revenge." J'onn negotiated.

Henshaw smiled " A long time ago I would have fallen for that trick, but unfortunately for you and fortunately for me, I have evolved and I'm not as gullible as I used to be. If I kill you and let them go, they're going to escape and so will I but they'll always be back to hunt me. This is my chance to get rid of the traitor and agents of the blasted organization." he said putting on the gas mask and quickly pressing an orange button.

A blast of smoke shot out of the ceiling, blinding everyone for a moment and when they were able to partially see, Henshaw's finger was coming down on the button.

"No!" J'onn shouted but he couldn't move as his eyesight hadn't returned properly.

Just then a blur of blue and red sped into the room and tackled Henshaw to the ground before his finger reached the button.

The controller flew out of Henshaw's hand as he fell and landed at Jeremiah's feet where he quickly picked it up, eyes trained on his youngest daughter as she rolled away from Henshaw and got up.

Mon el came next to her, in his Valor suit and held Henshaw from his collar.

Henshaw laughed "You just can't seem to die."

Kara smirked "And you just can't seem to grow a brain. Didn't you remember to lock the facility before pressing the button?"

Henshaw's laugh turned into a sneer " I will get my reve..." but his sentence wasn't completed as Mon el punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

After the agents took Henshaw away, Kara, Mon el, J'onn and Jeremiah headed back to the chopper.

"Kara.." Jeremiah started.

" Hey if Mon el and I hadn't come here you would have died." Kara cut him off.

Jeremiah wrapped his arm around her " I'm just glad you're okay, Thanks for saving us sunshine."

Kara smiled " Anytime... Dad."

" You don't know how glad I am at the fact that you're calling me dad now." Jeremiah whispered in her ear.

Kara looked at him " I was stupid for not doing so."

Jeremiah nudged her "Don't call my daughter stupid."

Kara laughed " I love you."

"I love you too."
