Jemm was currently going on a rampage throughout National City, both using his telepathic powers to force other people to act crazy and also firing energy blasts from the gem on his forehead.

"Freeze, you're under arrest." a few brave NCPD officers said as they tried to stop him, only to have him use his telepathic powers to make them turn their guns on themselves, only for them to be saved by a blue blur.

"You're not the Kryptonian I was expecting to fight." Jemm said as Supergirl soared in the sky.

"You wanted him, you should've attacked Metropolis. National City is my turf. Besides, I think you'll find fighting me a bit more satisfying than fighting him." Supergirl said.

"You're the daughter of Alura. The woman who condemned me to that hellhole. You're right, fighting you will be far more satisfying and I can finally get revenge on her for locking me away." Jemm said.

"We'll see about that. Remember, your fancy mind powers don't work on Kryptonians. At least not on this planet." Supergirl said as she landed.

"Good thing that those aren't the only powers I have." Jemm said as he blasted her with his gem, only for her to block him with her heat vision and she quickly overpowered him and sent him flying back.

"That's all you got?" Supergirl asked, while trying to keep the damage to a minimum.

"Hardly." Jemm said as he blasted her again, only for her to once again counter her heat vision and now Supergirl took the skies as it became a battle of wills to see who could keep firing longer and while it was touch and go for awhile with neither of them able to maintain the advantage against the other, but eventually, the fact that Jemm was still far more experienced with using his powers in combat situations than Supergirl was came into play as he managed to blast her back, not to mention, she did need to close her eyes to blink occasionally and when her eyes finally gave out, Jemm seized his advantage and sent her flying back.

"I'll make sure Superman knows that you put up a good fight before I crush your skull in. I hope that when you see your mother again, you tell her that she's responsible for your death. So ends the last of the daughters of the house of El." Jemm said as he prepared to blast her, only for him to be blasted back by a bright green blast and Kara looked up to see a man with short brown hair and wearing a green and black suit with a green mask and wearing a symbol on his chest that she'd recognize anywhere, floating down from the sky.

"I don't think so Jemm." the man said.

"No, one of you." Jemm said, since like Supergirl, he recognized the man's uniform and did not like it.

"So, you know who I am. Good. Then you know the drill. Stand down and come quietly or we do this the hard way. Please choose the hard way." the man said and Supergirl rolled her eyes at this man, who seemed to be intent on picking a fight with Jemm.

"Have it your way." Jemm said as he blasted the man with his gem, only for the man to hold up his right arm to reveal a glowing green ring on his hand and fired an energy blast out of it which clashed with Jemm's beam and Supergirl quickly realized that this clown was more concerned with beating up the bad guy than he was protecting people, since he didn't seem to care about the fact that the intensity of the fight seemed to be causing damage to the city and he was risking innocent people getting caught in the crossfire. He was actually starting to do more harm than good, but she'd give him one thing. He was keeping Jemm busy, which meant that she was free to get the civilians out of the line of the fire. Starting with rescuing a few young girls were about to be crushed by debris before moving around at super speed to make sure that everyone was safe.

Once she was certain that the area was clear of bystanders, Supergirl decided that it was time to end this before anyone else got hurt.

"Okay, that's enough." Supergirl said as she sped right up to Jemm and with one super strength punch, sent him flying backwards and knocking him out.

"I had him." her so called ally complained, only for Supergirl to slug him too, only not as hard.

"Ow, you have a funny way of thanking your rescuers." the man said.

"You know I thought that a man wearing your uniform would be a bit more careful about what he's doing." Supergirl said.

"You recognize my uniform?" the man asked.

"Considering that the Green Lantern Corps were heroes on Krypton, yeah, I do. And you are probably the sorriest excuse for a Lantern I've ever met." Supergirl said.

"Excuse me, my job was to get the bad guy and I did. Jemm's wanted in about 10 different star systems for various crimes and since Earth has proven itself ill equipped to contain him, I'm here to take him to a more secure facility." Green Lantern said.

"And you don't seem to care about how many innocent people get hurt in the process do you. I've read the reports about you in Coast City. You're a hot headed idiot who rushes in like a bull and ends up destroying more of the city you're supposed to be protecting. Maybe Coast City puts up with your antics, but I don't care if this is technically your sector, National City is my turf so stay out of it." Supergirl said.

"You sound just like your cousin. And Batman. And Wonder Woman." Green Lantern complained.

"Then maybe you should try listening to them, since I get that you don't want to listen to me, since compared to you, I'm a rookie, but they've been doing this longer than either of us, so listen to them for a change. If that ring is on your finger, then it means that the Guardians of Oa see something in you. But it's not this. Being a hero is about more than just stopping the bad guy. It's about protecting everyone else who can't protect themselves. You have a responsibility when you put on that ring, just like I do when I wear this symbol and this cape. The difference is that I've already learned that lesson. You haven't. Now take your prison and get out of my city. Before I make you leave." Supergirl said, leaving Green Lantern shocked before he silently used his ring to create a containment bubble around Jemm before flying off, right as the DEO arrived.

"Jemm's been taken out of our hands I take it." J'onn said, back in his disguise as Hank Henshaw and he also recognized the Green Lantern as what he was.

"Yeah. Though that Lantern proved to be more of a hindrance than a help." Supergirl said as she looked at the damage caused.

"Well maybe he'll improve." Alex said.

"I hope. But now I think it's time for me to go." Supergirl said as she took to the skies.

The Green Lantern in this chapter was Hal Jordan and I may have been a bit harsh, but I wanted him to be a bit irresponsible. Don't worry, he'll get better. Also, he is played by Nathan Filion and since I don't think I ever established who plays Diana Prince before, her actress is Jaime Alexander.
