SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 108

When Powergirl, Valkyrie and Miss Martian returned to the party, they found that people were already starting to run as the lightning got worse.

"You were right. Looks like some people don't have the common sense to run. Including the genius behind this party." Valkyrie said to her girlfriend as they saw Leslie attempting to convince people to stay.

"You get everyone else outta here, I'll try to get Leslie to see some sense." Powergirl said and the other two nodded as they moved to get people to safety while Powergirl flew down to Leslie up at the DJ stand.

"What do you want, Power Freak?" Leslie asked, since she was a very vocal opponent of superheroes, especially Powergirl.

"You need to get out of here. This party is reckless enough already and trying to keep people here while there's an active lightning storm is stupid and dangerous. Someone will get hurt." Powergirl said, trying to reason with Leslie before she just up and forced her to leave.

"Are you kidding, this is the biggest party of the year, there's no way I'm letting it end, just because you super freaks are afraid of a little lightning." Leslie said and Powergirl rolled her eyes, since that was dumb, even for a teenager.

"Okay then, we'll do this the hard way." Powergirl said she grabbed Leslie's hand, just in time to throw Leslie behind her so she could take the brunt of a lightning strike that would've killed Leslie, but Powergirl took the blast herself, though due to the fact that she was still holding onto Leslie, she was still hit by the electricity, but not as badly as she would've been without Powergirl there to save her, but she was still knocked unconscious and her hair turned white.

"Powergirl." Valkyrie shouted as she rushed forward and used her gauntlets to block the remaining bolt.

"Come on Leslie." Powergirl said, grateful when she heard Leslie's heart beat, even though it was faint.

"Go get her to a hospital. We'll finish up here." Valkyrie said and Powergirl nodded as she grabbed Leslie and flew off to the hospital.

Not long after Powergirl dropped Leslie off at the hospital, she was joined by Supergirl.

"You did good." Supergirl told her protege.

"Really, it doesn't feel like it. Leslie's in a coma and it's my fault. If I hadn't been holding onto Leslie, she wouldn't be in this state." Powergirl said.

"And if you hadn't moved her when you did, the lightning would've hit her full force and she'd be dead. You saved her life, even if she'll never thank you for it. And you recognized the threat and responded accordingly." Supergirl assured her protege.

"If you're trying to make me feel better, it's not really working." Powergirl said and Supergirl chuckled.

"Not every save is going to go perfectly. Hell, Reactron is the result of one of Superman's saves gone wrong." Supergirl said, after she'd defeated Reactron, they'd discovered that his real name was Ben Krull, a reactor mechanic from the Bakerline Nuclear Power Station, where Superman had prevented an American Chernobyl, but had failed to save Ben and his wife Alyssa and while Ben had survived, he'd gone insane and declared war on Superman.

"I know. But that doesn't make it any easier." Powergirl said.

"I know. But you're still learning and all in all, you did well." Supergirl said and Powergirl nodded.

"Now come on, we still have a lot of damage control to do, since the storm is wreaking havoc on the whole city." Supergirl said and Powergirl nodded as she followed her sister into the air to continue helping the city.

Though as they flew away, neither of them noticed electricity spark through Leslie's body, too preoccupied with helping the rest of the city endure what had to be one of the worst storms in the history of the city.
