《Edge of Glory | Supergirl 1》Chapter 39

Katie glanced at Kara as she stood up and ran into Miss Grant's office. Once Kara was done, she walked to Kate, "Livewire got out."

"What?" Katie stood up, following her to the elevator, "I don't know if my body can absorb electricity."

"I'm sure you'll be able to, yeah, I'm just unsure how we'll capture her again."

"Barry." Katie says, looking at her, "He could help us."

"Yeah!"

Katie and Kara pushed the door open to their office, "We need your help."

James stood up, "Anything you need."

"Yeah, of course." Winn stands as well.

Kara looks at James, "I was actually talking to Barry."

Barry got up, stuffing his hands in his pockets, "Yeah. Yeah, what can I do?"

"Well, I have this villain. Her name is Livewire."

Barry nodded, "Uh-huh."

"And she's basically like living electricity," Katie explains.

"Cool. We have a rogue like that. We call him Blackout." Barry looks at the group, "Doesn't feel relevant, all of a sudden."

"Right. So she just broke out of this prison and..." James grumbly sits down, making a lot of noise, "And all she wants out of life is to kill Ms. Grant."

"And with Siobhan still out there..." Katie breathed in, "We don't think we can protect her by ourselves."

"Okay."

"National City needs the Flash."

Barry bit his lips, "Oh, Katie, I-"

"And!" Kara adds, "Once they're both back in custody, I promise that we will do everything in our power to get you back home."

Katie grins over at him, "What do you say? Team up?"

"Team up." Barry nods, agreeing with the two.

🔥~🌩~🔥~🌩~🔥

Barry flashes back in front of them, "Yo, this place is amazing, all right?" He turns his head, mask still covering his head, "Is this a spaceship?"

Kara points at it, "That's actually my spaceship."

"I love this Earth." Barry walks over to it, posing, "Hey, Winn, can I get a picture with this bad boy?"

"Oh, yeah, sure."

"Awesome."

"Winn. Winn." Katie shook her head at him.

Winn looked back at Barry, "That's probably not a good idea, dude."

"All right."

"Agreed." Lucy walks in, agents behind her, "Who is this masked man? Alien? Mutant?"

"Metahuman."

"Well, we have protocol for visitors at the DEO, Solar Flare. You of all people should know, you're an active agent."

"Guys it's fine." Kara waves it off, "He's here to help us find Livewire."

"We do need all the help we can get." Lucy's attention was turned toward Barry, "So what do I call you? Speedy?"

He pulled his mask off, "Barry Allen."

"Lucy Lane." She crossed her arms over her chest, "I hope you're bringing more to the table than just quick reflexes."

"As it just so happens, catching criminals is both my night and day job. I'm a CSI." Barry glanced at Kara and Katie, "By the way, do you guys have a crime lab here?"

"Yeah. My sister's lab's right over there." Kara pointed it out.

"Wait, you have a sister?" Barr followed them, "Where is she at?"

"I wish I knew."

🔥~🌩~🔥

"We found Livewire," Kara says to Lucy.

"That's good news."

Winn pointed to the scarlet speedster, "Actually it was Barry."

"Of course it was," James mumbled, leaning against the wall.

Barry twirled in his seat, facing them, "Livewire's ability to absorb the electrical energy in the air surrounding her gave me an idea. So I wrote an algorithm to monitor variations in meter usage around the city, and it all leads to that warehouse. I see bad guys love their abandoned warehouses on your Earth, too, huh?"

"I'll authorize a drop team."

"No." Kara quickly says, "No, no. She's too dangerous. Let's go." She nods her head to Katie and Barry.

Barry stands, "All right. What's the plan?"

"Catch the bad girl, bring her back here so she can't hurt anyone. 85% chance of punching." Katie tilted her head to Kara, shaking her head no.

"Okay. That I get. But like, what's the plan? Maybe we can overload her somehow."

"Yeah." Katie says, "What about the Industrial Capacitator you were gonna trap her in last time?"

"No, no. It went busto."

"Well, Three Musketeers." Winn pointed at Katie and Barry, "We'll build you a new one."

"No. If we wait, we lose her. If we lose her, God knows what kind of damage she could do, or who she could hurt. I defeated her once before. I can do it again. With your help."

"I'm right behind you."

Katie followed them, "I still think this is a bad idea just going head first into it."

🔥~🌩~🔥~🌩~🔥

Katie landed in the building right after Kara did, her eyes scanned the area when Barry came zooming in. Kara pointed at him, "For the record, I got here first."

"Yeah, for the record, I went around the block to check the perimeter. So, technically, I let you get here first."

"You guys are such children." Katie smiles, the flames beside her disappearing.

Kara and Barry chuckle at her, "You sure this is the right place?"

Barry breathes in, "I hope so."

Electricity crackles, revealing Livewire, "Long time, cape and skirt. You didn't think you could fight me solo so you brought a threesome? How sweet."

Katie went to go forward, but Barry held his hand up, "I got this."

Lightning spiraled around Livewire, Barry was now back next to Katie, when she realized what he was about to do she cried out, "Wait, don't-"

Barry shot his lightning at her, causing her to absorb it, "Uh-oh..."

Livewire laughs, "Thanks for the charge." She shoots her blue electricity back at Barry, causing him to fly in the air.

"Flash!"

Katie looks around, finding a sprinkler, she created a ball of fire, despite it might extinguishing her powers, Livewire would be stopped, but before she could a loud piercing scream making her cry out, covering her ears.

"I brought a friend too." Livewire smirks, "Meet Silver Banshee." Katie moves her hand from her ear, seeing crimson blood staining her fingers, her gaze moves up to see Siobhan but painted like a reaper.

"All my life I thought I was cursed. But now I see I was cursed for the better."

"You don't want to do this." Katie wheezes out, her ears still ringing, "I want to help you."

"Funny." Livewire pointed at Kara, "She said the same thing to me once."

"And here's what I say to that." Banshee releases her scream at Kara and Katie, making the two females fly back into a crate, "Once you three are dead, I can finally give that little blonde moppet, Kara Danvers, the death she deserves."

Kara stood up, glaring, "Maybe Kara Danvers is tougher than you think." She released her freeze breath, while Barry created wind from his hands. Katie touched the cold air, letting her flames entangle in it.

"We're not going to win this today!" Barry yells out over the wind. Katie stops her flames, flying up in the air before Banshee or Livewire could attack them.

🔥~🌩~🔥

Katie sat out on the veranda, watching as Kara and Barry spoke on the one next to her. Her eyes move back to the city. She thought she finally found love in her life, but of course, that didn't last. Her brain racked out scenarios where she never would find love. No matter what she could do, she'd always be alone. Her eyes flicker up when she sees Barry walk over to her, "Done giving your speech to Kara?"

"Yeah." Barry smiles down at her, "You look like you could use one too." Katie looked away from him, her eyes back on the city, "You okay?"

"Silver Banshee." Katie spoke quietly, "We were... together."

"Oh..." Barry sat next to her, "Guess that didn't end... well."

"Yeah, as you can see." Katie released an exasperated laugh, "She was the reason you had to catch me from falling to my death."

"She did that?"

"Yep." Katie says, popping the 'p', "I've never really had someone I could love... my brother is dating an alien, which, I'd like to point out, is very hot. And I... nothing-I don't think I'll ever get with anyone."

Barry chuckled, "This is going to sound ironic, especially coming from me but... you need to slow down. I went through a point of my life where I'd get with a person but it would never work out. Even my long term crush didn't work out. I kept trying to rush into relationships, to fill this void... But there was someone always there to cheer me on, to tell me to go for it."

"And you fell in love with her?"

"I didn't realize I loved her until I almost saw her die." Barry states, leaning his head on his hand, "She's loved me for such a long time and I never noticed. But if I would have taken everything slow, not rushing into things, I might have seen her feelings for me sooner and I might have seen my own feelings for her." He gave Katie a smile, "I'm just saying... don't rush into love, it's something that will happen beautifully on its own."

Katie laughed lightly, "You sure know how to give emotional pep talks."

Barry laughs, "Jackie has told me that a few times."

"Jackie?" Katie stood, "Is she her?"

Barry gives a longing smile away from her, "Yeah."

"Well." Katie stood up, "Let's get to the DEO, save the day, and then get you back home to her."

🌩~🔥~🌩

"So back on my Earth, we fought a villain who used sound waves as a weapon. He called himself Pied Piper."

Katie smiles, "That is such a cool name."

"Yeah." Barry grabbed a pair of medical tongs, "So I whipped up these bad boys. Sorry I keep saying, bad boys."

Kara squints at them, "Are they earbuds?"

"Yeah. It'll protect us from Silver Banshee's yelly voice."

Lucy walked over to them, "James just called. Livewire and Silver Banshee kidnapped Cat."

"Hello, Red, Blue, and Gold. Come to National City Park now if you don't want Cat's blood all over your hands or all over the street."

Kara looks over at Barry, "You don't have to do this. This is our fight."

"One for all and all for... You guys have Three Musketeers here, right?"

Katie sighs, "All for one."

🔥~🌩~🔥~🌩~🔥

"Hey, Sparky! Shrieky, hi." Barry waved at them, almost like Stitch, "What do you say we step away from the nice lady? Settle this like women."

Katie turned to him, "Women?"

"What? There's more of you guys here than me."

Livewire rolled her eyes, "Kill them." Banshee released her loud screams, but they were unfazed by it.

Barry smirks over at Katie and Kara, "Told you it'll work."

"What?" Kara mused to them, "You lose your voice?"

Banshee turned her head to Livewire, "What are you waiting for?!"

"Watch who you yell at." Livewire shot her electricity at them. Kara and Barry moved out of the way, but Katie didn't. She tested if she could absorb electricity, she took a step back wincing, but she was able to absorb it. Barry ran forward, pushing the two far apart. Katie saw Livewire escape through a circuit up to the building, she flew up, Barry close behind her.

She landed on the roof, her hands engulfed in flames, "Can you absorb fire?" Barry grins, running back and forth, each time hitting Livewire as he passed her. Katie pulled the flames toward her, then shot them forward, shoving Livewire into the wall behind her. She got up in anger, releasing an electric wall, making Barry slam into Katie.

Barry got up after a few seconds, running to her, "Hey." He pulled his mask off, "You okay?"

Katie groans, getting up, "I'm fine. I'm fine. I can take the electricity, just not your body slamming into mine." She got up, "Put that back on." Barry pulled his mask back over his head, looking down, he stopped Katie from going, "What are you doing?"

"Just wait and watch."

Katie watched as the people rallied up, protecting Kara. Her heart warmed in her chest, "I kind of want to cry right now."

Barry chuckled softly, "I told her she'd win them back." Livewire and Banshee were taken down, "Let's get down there."

Katie lands beside Kara, while Barry flashes next to them, "You okay?"

Kara gave her a nod, holding her head, her eyes shot up when she saw a figure fly down. Leah landed in front of them with her suit on, "What on earth did I miss?"

Barry's eyes widen, while Katie laughed, "A lot."

Leah rubbed the back of her head, "Sorry I was gone for so long. I went through a solar flare."

Katie snorted, the sound of her superhero name, it fit her well. She was able to take the powers from Kryptonians, "It's good to see you back."
