Wordgirl Advance

Wordgirl meets Superman (Part 3)

Superman and Wordgirl reach Lexcorp in a matter of seconds. "The windows open" Wordgirl says with suspicion. "Let's be quick, knowing Luthor this most likely a trap. More than likely we'll trip a silent alarm when we eneter." They look around Luthor's office but they find nothing. Wordgirl hovers over to Luthor's computer to try and see if there is any information there.

"What are you doing" Superman asks.

"I'm trying to get into his computer and guess his password." She looks down and then types in the following
Password: I hate Superman!

"How did you guess the password?"

"It was simple really. I just used my x-ray vision to see what keys had the most fingerprints on them and then just ran all possible word combinations in my head."

"Smart."

They both look at the screen and see many files on Luthor's home screen. They both look through the screen quickly and find a file named Superman's death. They go to click on it with the following information. Find Cyborg Superman a.k.a. Hank Henshaw and convince him of my plan. Free the Joker to help with a special Kryptonite concoction while I and Toy Man create a mech. Superman to be defeated in battle, I give the final blow and deliver a speech over the solom loss of a great hero. They scroll below and eyes widen when they see the mech bot they are creating.

"We need to find Luthor and stop them now." They look around using X-ray vision but don't find Luthor anywhere. Suddenly the office doors open and a security gaurd walks in. "Superman and a new Supergirl!"

"Excuse me Sir, but you wouldn't happen to know where Luthor is at this moment do you" asks Superman.

"No idea, sorry."

Wordgirl notices that the man has no heartbeat. The gaurd glances at her and the two stare down. "Well if that's all your here for then I suggest you be on your way."

"Thanks anyway, appreciate it."

Superman and Wordgirl walk away when the gaurd fires a blast of green in their direction. Wordgirl dodges the blast, but Superman is hit in the back landing on the floor. "Who are you" Wordgirl asks. "The names Metallo kid, Lex hired me in case Superman showed up and got nosey. He never mentioned he would have a accomplice."

"The names Wordgirl and I'm not from here."

"Well that makes sense. I mean what kind of name is Wordgirl."

"Well here's why I'm called that. You know the word pulp?"

"Pulp? Yeah, why?"

"That's what you'll be after I pumble you."

"Well we'll see about that" as Metallo and Wordgirl charge at each other and lock hands. Wordgirl overpowers Metallo and throws him across the room hitting the wall.

"Wordgirl, aim for his heart" Superman says with his weak voice.
Wordgirl confused is blasted by a beam of Kryptonite and pushed to the other side of the room. Metallo runs towards her and starts punching repeatedly but Wordgirl pushes him away and he lands by Lex's desk. He gets up and sees the computer with plans open.

Superman gets up still weakened and says "The Kryptonite, is his heart. Aim for his heart." Wordgirl sees the Kryptonite in Metallos chest and proceeds to hover towards him. Metallo destroys the hard drive in the computer destroying all files including the one on Supermans death. Wordgirl rushes and grabs him as he tries and fight back but to no avail. She grabs the Kryptonite and smashes it as Metallo says "Your to late. The plan is in motion and soon Superman will be no more." Metallo powers down as the green light in his eyes fade away.

Wordgirl walks to Superman and helps him up. "Are you okay?"
"No, I'm usually not this weak. I should have recovered by now. I need my body to be examined to see what's wrong."

"Where's the closest hospital then?"

"A hospital can't help me. I need to go to the Fortress of Solitude, it has technology from my homeworld that can help me."

"Where's it at?"

"Towards the Artic."

Wordgirl helps Superman fly to the Artic to get to his Fortress of Solitude in Hope's to cure him. Once there they get inside and Superman disarms any Security measure with his voice to avoid any unnecessary conflict. Wordgirl then lays him on a scanning chamber as a hologram appears. "Hello, I am Jor-el, Kal-El's father. Who might you be."

"I'm Wordgirl, I'm not from this Earth."

"Yes, your pyschiology is much different from Kal-El's. What might be the problem."

"He was blasted by Kryptonite and he's not recovering from the blast. I will scan and see to the problem. After a few moments Jor-el had a diagnosis. "It appears Kal has been exposed to a more lethal dose of Kryptonite then normal. Some of his cells have decayed as a result. I will need to give him solar radiation to get him back into peak condition, it might be a minute. You seem unaffected by the Kryptonite affects."

"Well I'm not a Kryptonian I'm a Lexiconian."

"There are no Lexiconians in my data base as a known race. You must be a special kind only in your universe. There is something different about you though. As of my scans your actually stronger than Kal is."

"How strong?"

"About two times strong, though it only seems to be the case in the last hour."

"What happened to me?"

"Kryptonite happened. You been exposed to it for the first time and it seems to have altered your dna that whenever you're exposed to it instead of growing weaker you've become stronger."

"How's that possible though?"

"More than likely your similar nature but that fact that you're not Kryptonian as well."

Before they figure out an answer Superman awakens from his chamber. "Are you all right" Wordgirl asks.

"Yes, I much better now, but we must find Lex and the others so we can shut them down."

"Kal-El, if they are to have more of this Kryptonite I suggest that you take precautions in case you find yourself in a dire situation."

"I'll need to wear a lead suit, Batman should have one at the Batcave. We can use his Batcomputer to search for Luthor's location."

"Wait, you mean we're going to meet Batman!"

"He's off doing his own thing so probably not. Anyways, let's get going, we don't have a moment to waist."

"Take care Kal-El, and as to you Wordgirl. I hope you succeed on this journey" Jor-El's hologram said as the two flew off to the batcave.
