"What exactly are you doing here?" Tiana asked as she was unpacking the boxes one by one, as she was looking at Jon, who was standing in the doorway of her new, fresh smelling apartment.

"I'm here to help you with unpacking the apartment and... To quickly get away from John Henry Irons, who basically kicked me out of the barn for accidentally pushing him too far." Jon explained and she was nodding at the words, before she smiled faintly.

"I am surrounded by boxes and even with my super speed it is absolutely going to take me forever, to deal with this." Tiana said and she gestured out to either side of her, as she was nodding. "Are you helping out?"

"I've got nowhere better to be." Jon noted and then he was grinning quickly at her and now, he was digging into the boxes quickly and they were unpacking all of the boxes.

"So, what is next up?" Jon asked rather quickly and after a couple of hours, they were done unpacking and he was smiling at her.

"Well, I didn't really have any plans for the rest of the day. What about you?" Tiana was watching him and Jon sighed, before he was shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, I did get an invitation from the guys on the football team. Well, an invitation to a party and... I wondered, if you wanted to come with me." Jon said quietly and she was grinning briefly.

"As long as you promise me, that you are not going to drink too much." She warned and he nodded quickly, before she planted a kiss on his cheek. "Promise?"

"I promise." Jon stated and then she was grinning at the words, before she took his hand and they were both together, quickly disappearing in a flash of lightning.

They were at the party along with Jordan and Tegan Wickhem came up to Jon again to talk. But before he was going anywhere with her, Jon was looking over at Tiana with an uncertain look.

"It is just up to you, Jon." She murmured quietly and Jon nodded quickly, before he was walking over to Tegan and then, she was looking over at the TV quickly.

After the TV was turning on, Tiana was beginning to back away from the TV and from the crowd of people. Jon turned around to look at her, before his eyes were widening and then, he was quickly running after her.

"Tiana, wait!" Jon said and then she was looking over her shoulder at him, before she was shaking her head. "Please don't go, you won't survive!" His voice cracked and then quietly, she was looking at him.

"I have to go, Jon." She whispered and then he was looking at her, and she was shaking her head. "I have to help your parents and John Henry, I can't leave them." She said and he lowered his head. "You have to keep up appearances, Jonathan, for all of our sakes right now." She was shaking her head. "I have to go." She said and when nobody else was around, she was quickly disappearing into her suit.

"Tiana..." Jon attempted to delay her from leaving, but it was too late and she already left. "Goddamn it!" He snapped, before he was steeling his nerves up and quickly, he was going back into the house.

A blast of lightning knocked one of the Kryptonians out of the sky and immediately now, Tiana was clamping the fallen subject in Kryptonite cuffs. "Get them onto the ground, I'll take them from there!" Tiana ordered and the others were in no position to argue at the moment.

"Jurgens and 4th!" Clark's voice came through her communicator and Tiana was zipping across the city, clamping the other in Kryptonite cuffs.

Two of the new Kryptonians were quickly charging after Clark, but one of them fell off of him and Cameron was lasering the one that was charging for him. "Don't you dare." Cameron spoke up in Kryptonian and he hit the woman out of the sky. "Main Metropolis square." He called out.

"On it." Tiana said as the DOD had been taking the others around, away from the public eye.

Tiana was taking it at an unprecedented rate and now, she was quickly racing up the side of the building where Lois was standing and reporting. Tiana was watching as Leslie Larr was rising through the air and right now, Tiana was pushing herself to her limit as she screamed and she jumped. She was tackling Leslie Larr out of the sky and it was just before John Henry's hammer hit them both.

Tiana felt the hammer slamming into her body and she felt something breaking, she didn't know what it was.

Tiana was free-falling to the ground and Cameron was diving down to grab her, as she was unable to move. She didn't know what was broken, but it hurt like hell and she couldn't feel her limbs. "Got you." He said as he was wrapping his arms around her, before they hit the ground hard and then now, she was grimacing underneath her mask in agony.

Back at the party, Jon's eyes were swiftly widening and he was grabbing onto Jordan's wrist as both of them were silently clinging to one another, before they were unsure that she was still alive.

"What is that?" Tiana asked as she was spitting blood into the dirt, while Cameron was holding a big syringe in his hand and then, she was looking at him. "I asked you, what is that?!"

"Your father's blood, concentrated to such a degree that it would be giving you a pure jolt of the speed force." Cameron said and then she was looking at him, before she quickly looked at the needle. "You will heal faster this way, you can help the boys and keep them safe. It's this, or you can take forever to heal."

"Do it." She said and he jammed it into her arm and she was screaming and then now, her eyes weakly flickered with lightning quickly, before the lightning ignited and she was swiftly crackling with lightning.
