SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 109

"What's causing the storm anyways? I mean seriously, it's all lightning, no thunder clouds, no rain, nothing. It's almost unnatural." Powergirl said as she swerved to avoid another lightning strike, which, unless she was crazy, almost seemed to strike her deliberately.

"Seriously, that was way too close. And the lightning I was hit with when I saved Leslie actually hurt me. I mean it didn't last long, but it still hurt. Like in a way I thought only kryptonite could hurt us." Powergirl said.

"You're right. Brainy, come in. Do you have a reading on the lightning storm? It appeared way too suddenly and escalated way too quickly to be a natural phenomenon." Supergirl asked the Coluan, who was back at the Island, running mission control.

"I know what's going on." a new male voice said and Supergirl turned to see a man wearing a bright red suit with a golden lightning bolt on his chest and wearing a black hood over his head, along with a white cape with a golden trim floated down next to her and Powergirl.

"Captain Marvel. I was wondering when you'd finally approach a member of the Justice League." Supergirl said, since she was well aware of the protector of Fawcett City.

"Supergirl, Powergirl, hope you don't mind my dropping in, but I think I know what's causing this storm." Captain Marvel said.

"Go on." Supergirl said.

"This storm was created by one of my greatest enemies, Black Adam." Captain Marvel said.

"As in the ruler of Kahndaq?" Supergirl asked, since Kahndaq was a resource rich, but closed country. As in they didn't allow anyone to enter the country and they did not do any trading with any other nations. Not that Kara hadn't tried, since she'd wanted to mine the resources of Kahndaq for her company, but she wasn't willing to risk war with the country's magic powered ruler, Black Adam, who refused to allow any outsiders into his country.

"The same. He was the champion of the Rock of Eternity before me. He was given the power centuries ago by the wizard Shazam, to liberate Kahndaq from its oppressors." Captain Marvel said.

"The power makes you live forever?" Powergirl asked.

"I didn't say that. Adam's intentions started out good, but the wizard made a mistake when he judged his soul. Power brings out the best in some, but the worst in others. I don't know what caused his change, but he went from being the champion of Kahndaq to the tyrant of Kahndaq and Shazam and his wizards had to seal him away in a tomb that was hidden in Kahndaq for centuries. Until the day it was found by the current queen of Kahndaq." Captain Marvel said.

"Isis." Supergirl said, since she was aware of the Queen of Kahndaq's name, since she was another mistress of magic, specifically the power of air.

"The stage name of one Adriana Tomaz. She was an archaeologist who sought to use the artifacts she found to save Kahndaq from the criminal gangs that terrorized it. Until she found the tomb of Black Adam and released him to save Kahndaq and after he did, he seized the throne and she became his queen and the only one who could temper his rage, keep him contained to Kahndaq, so he'd only leave when threatened. Adam gave her the amulet of Isis, a mystic totem that gives her the power to control air and limited magic." Captain Marvel said, right as Black Adam descended on them.

"Captain Marvel, my old foe. I was wondering if you'd come out to play, or if I'd have to settle for Supers, since they fall too easily to me. It's honestly pathetic how easily kryptonians fall to magic." Black Adam said.

"At least they have hair." Captain Marvel said, since Black Adam was bald.

"Really, that's the best you got?" Black Adam asked.

"What are you doing here anyways? I thought you preferred to stay in Kahndaq." Captain Marvel asked, hoping that maybe he could talk Adam into leaving without this turning into a huge fight.

"I am defending my kingdom from those who would eventually usurp me. The Justice League is too dangerous a threat to Kahndaq and my rule. They must all fall. Starting with its leader." Black Adam said as he attempted to blast Supergirl with his lightning, only for Captain Marvel to get in front of her and block it with his own.

"The League has no desire to fight you unless you start a fight with us. We only went to war with Atlantis because they attacked us first." Supergirl said as she and Powergirl added their heat vision to the attack, sending Adam flying backwards.

"Please, go home. As long as you stay there, the Justice League will leave you alone." Supergirl said and Adam grunted.

"We'll consider this a draw for now. But know this, the Justice League has proven itself a threat to my kingdom. I will be back and next time, I will not stop until my kingdom is secure. Even if I must expand Kahndaq's borders to the ends of the Earth. Especially after I find and crush the other champion. Her power will be mine." Black Adam said before he flew off.

"What was he talking about? Other champion?" Supergirl asked.

"There's another champion of Shazam. Major Marvel. I've been training her to control her powers, but I've encouraged her to keep a low profile for this exact reason. Plus, she's not ready to fight someone like Adam, especially since I haven't even trusted her with the greatest secrets of the wizard. But what I'm more concerned about is Adam. This attack was completely out of character for him. It's almost like someone else was pulling his strings and he didn't even know it." Captain Marvel said and Supergirl had to admit, one name came to mind on who that might be.

"Powergirl, head home and remember, your parents know you were at a party with alcohol, so make sure you're prepared for that." Supergirl said.

"Why? It's not like it affects me." Powergirl complained and Supergirl rolled her eyes.

"Head home. Captain Marvel and I need to talk in private." Supergirl said and Powergirl nodded as she flew off.

"Are we going to the Watchtower?" Captain Marvel asked.

"No. The watchtower is Justice League members only and you're not one. So we're going to the Hall of Justice instead. We have a lot to discuss." Supergirl said and Captain Marvel nodded as he followed her as they flew towards DC.

Captain Marvel is played by Sebastian Stan and Black Adam is played by Dwayne Johnson.
