About an hour passed by and I was facing Alex in Call of Duty. We were all using randomized guns to make it more fair. I eventually won "No fair" Alex said when she saw the final kill cam. "He killed me through a wall" "You can shoot through that wall, all the time, and you were trying to play it like real life. It's a video game." I said, everyone faced me first, they wanted to try to beat the master. I put Maggie in her place, she had the same problem as Alex. James flat out didn't know how to play, Kara was a bit tougher since she knew how I played, and Winn put up a good fight with his video game experience. But in the end, no one stood a chance against my experience and knowledge of the maps ''Alright, I'm undefeated, so if no one wants another chance at the crown, you guys can face each other." I said turning. Winn wanted a rematch. It was a stressful battle, he was doing good, but I managed to sneak in and steal a kill in the last few seconds ''No way!" He exclaimed when I killed him. I just stayed in the back of the map, waiting for him while the clock ran out. "Good game" I said, hiding out my hand to Win with a smug expression. Alex played everyone and one most but lost to Winn. Kara played everyone and won all but Winn and Alex. Everyone took a few turns. While the others were playing I pulled Alex aside

"Whats up Jason?"
"I need a favor"
"Anything"
"I'm gonna be in Gotham tomorrow, I'm going so I can get help from Batman to make Kara a new suit for Christmas. So just keep her company while I'm gone. She has been fragile since... It happened. Don't talk to her about it, just watch movies, get her food and you guys should be okay, Call me if anything wrong, I'll be there in a Flash"
"You did not just make that pun"
"I did, but, yeah, take care of Kara while I'm gone"
"I will, don't worry"
"Thank you"

We went back to the group and continued playing games. Soon later it was late into the night. Alex and Maggie were the last to leave, they both had a determination to beat me, but were unsuccessful.
"How did no one beat you?"
"Practice. But hey, even after a nine month coma I'm still better than everybody here"
"Yeah, if anyone was gonna beat you I thought it be Winn or Alex"
"Alex tries to play it like real life, she is predictable. Winn put up a good fight but, in the end he's probably too used to halo and minecraft"
"Yeah"
"Do you want me to teach you? You can get good"
"Sure, let's play. Bravo six going dark"
"I love you"
"I love you too"

I taught Kara how to play, showing her the basics. I made her an account for herself and then I showed her the guns I thought she should use until she gets certain ones unlocked. We got her to about rank 25. "Your doing good Kara" I said, looking through weapon attachments. She didn't answer "Kara?" I asked and I looked over at her. She fell asleep. I put the controller she had on the table and carefully picked her up bridal style. I carried her to her bed and gently set her down. I kissed her forehead and went back into the living room. I was gonna clean up from game night and turn off the TV. I was picking up the pizza boxes when Zoom ran in, My dad in his hand. I didn't think, I put on my suit and faced Zoom "Dad, look it's gonna be alright" I said "Let him go, it's me you want, right" I said to Zoom "I want to make you like me, filled with anger and hatred" Zoom told me in his low growl. He ran off and I chased him. We stopped inside an old house. My old house. The house where my mom was murdered. I already caught the killer. Zoom stopped with his hand ready to vibrate through my dad's heart. I took my mask off "Please, no'' I pleaded "Jackson-'' My dad said. getting cut off by Zoom "I'm gonna make you just like me!" Zoom said "Jackson, whatever happens I love you, your mother loves you, aaugh" My dad said, I looked at his chest. Zoom's vibrating hand was going through my dad's heart "Noooooo!" I screamed. I crouched over my dad, tears forming in my eyes ''I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled at Zoom. I charged him and pinned him against the wall. He ran off and I chased him to an alley, beating him up. He was down but still conscious. I had my hand at his chest. Ready to send it vibrating through him. "Do it Jason, become me, either way I win!" Zoom taunted and I was about to kill him when I thought of Kara. She wouldn't want me to kill Zoom. I remembered her saying, "Nobody deserves to die, no matter what bad things they've done." I punched Zoom, knocking him out. I brought him to the DEO. Dragging him through the door and dropping his unconscious body in front of Alex.
