"Twenty two. Twenty three. Twenty four." Selina counts for me as I do pull-ups. "Twenty five. Twenty six. Twenty seven."

"You're doing great, B." Miles tells me as I start to struggle a bit. "You got it, you got it."

"Yeah, go, team!" Lois raises her fist in the air.

"C'mon, Lee said thirty. No more, no less." Selina inquires.

"Yeah, hold on, just..." I go to pull up, but my hands slip due to an ache in my stomach.

"Brianna."

"Woah, B!" Miles gets up and grabs me.

"Brianna." Lois runs over with Selina.

"Woah, what happened?" Clark enters the apartment with Oliver. "Brianna, hey." He rushes over with Oliver.

"I'm fine." I assure. "I'm fine. I just moved too fast."

"No, Brianna, you looked you were about to pass out." Lois tells me.

"Because I moved too fast. I'm fine, guys. Relax." I pull away from Miles and put on my hoodie. "Tell Lee I'll try again tomorrow." I now put on my leather jacket.

"Brianna-"

"It's just three more—it's no big deal. I'll conquer it,
in time. I got an errand. I'll see you guys later." I kiss Clark before I grab my bag and leave the apartment.

I walk down the stairs before putting on my mask. I shoot a web and take off.

I keep swinging from building to building and some people below start to clap and cheer.

"Hey, Ghost!" A little girl waves from below and I wave back before continuing to swing.

I get to the sewers before landing. I stumble forward from a pain in my stomach and I groan. I hold my stomach and regain my balance. I look down before swinging inside. I land on my feet and I look around.

"I'm here, Cletus." I start. "You want me? You can have me. Right here, right now. Just leave my family alone. They're innocent. There's no need to hurt them. I don't wanna kill you, but you're a wanted man. You're a serial killer. If you surrender and turn yourself in, I could cut you a deal. Please, just don't come after my family. Come after me. I'm the one you want."
