So, bad news, we're reaching the end of the chapters I have ready.


I recently took a long hiatus because of my mental health, but I'm back to writing both of my stories, only at a much slower rate.


As a result, the latest public chapter I have is Chapter 64 and the fics are updated once a week (well, a little over a week, I'm usually late by a day or two.)


Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the chapter.

Kara accelerated her thoughts, her mind working as fast as she could make it, the world seeming to slow down until everywhere she looked. Everything seemed to be frozen, motes of dust unmoving in the air.

Even with enhanced vision, she couldn't see inside the building, the walls were probably reinforced with lead since they were expecting her cousin, but the cameras on her drones didn't have that weakness.

Kara had been thinking about this engagement for a long time. She wouldn't cry if every single one of them ended up dead, and if there were innocent lives at risk, that's what she'd do.

But she didn't want to simply go there and kill them all in cold blood. Contrary to Batman, she was willing to kill criminals, but she also understood how easy it could become, it was a slippery slope Kara had no wish to experiment. Even after Felix Faust, she was glad that killing had remained a burden.

Of the six enemies, she felt three of them NEEDED to die. The Joker was someone that absolutely needed to go. Wotan was a centuries-old monster that, through history, was probably worse by the numbers than the clown. They wouldn't change, they wouldn't stop and they wouldn't stay in jail even if she delivered them there gift-wrapped.

Rao, even if they somehow stayed in jail, Wotan wouldn't die from old age. Kara wasn't sure whether he could kill himself and reincarnate outside the prison, but that too was a possibility.

Ultra-Humanite didn't have the same resume, but he was an utterly amoral scientist that Kara had no doubt experimented on humans. Every time Kara thought of the man occupying the gorilla's body, she couldn't help wanting to burn him to ashes, preferably from orbit. Kara had read his psychological profile, he too wasn't going to change.

Count Vertigo would live. She could use him as an offering to start diplomatic relationships with his niece, and she was fairly sure he'd stay in jail after it was all done. He was barely a threat anyway.

Atomic Skull was a brutal criminal but, like Ultra-Humanite, he didn't have that long of a rap sheet and wasn't inclined to experiment on innocent people, so he could go to jail too. Kara didn't want to become too bloodthirsty.

Black Adam had been hard. In this reality, he was Theo Adams, once a normal man that got his hands on the ancient amulet containing the soul of Thet-Adam. He'd killed Billy Batson's parents to acquire the artifact and drew power from the amulet to become Black Adam.

Unfortunately, Teth-Adam's soul didn't completely wake from his long slumber, so the current Black Adam was mostly Theo, with some influence from Teth's warrior disposition. It made him a cruel criminal with a bloodthirst desire for battle, a murderer drunk on the power he has acquired, but far from the worst on the Injustice League's roster.

Kara also wanted to give Billy closure, and she was certain the boy would wish for his parents' killer to face justice. Without the amulet, Theo should spend a long time in jail, powerless. She felt the young boy deserved at least that much from her.
