SuperCorp Chronicles

Chapter 112

When Kara returned home from Central City, she found Lena wearing her new suit and Kara had to admit, she looked very attractive in it.

"Okay, not that I'm not loving the new look, because I am, like more than you can imagine, but I'm gonna need some background here." Kara said and Lena smiled at her fiance.

"I finally unlocked my Dragon power today and I took down the Wizard." Lena said and Kara smiled.

"Two birds with one rock. I'm so proud of you." Kara said as she moved to kiss her girl.

"Thank you Kara. And honestly, fighting someone like that, I finally understand the rush you feel when you're in the field." Lena said.

"You want to join the team in the field." Kara said.

"Not just the Superfriends. I want into the Justice League and I know you have the power to make that happen." Lena said.

"And if I abuse my power like that, I'll lose my position as the leader of the Justice League. And while I'd love to have you on the team honey, I can't compromise my values on that. The Justice League leader has to have integrity. I'm sorry, but if you want to join the Justice League, you're gonna have to earn it the same way everyone else does. Prove that you deserve a spot in it. Besides, even if I said yes, no one would respect you, since you didn't earn it, you technically bought your way in." Kara said.

"What about Chloe? She wears the helmet, does she get in automatically?" Lena asked.

"No. Nabu, the real Doctor Fate, is a member of the League and so was Kent Nelson, but Chloe is not. She can only enter the Watchtower when she's wearing the helmet. She has to earn her own place in the League, just like any future hosts Fate has will have too. We're not going to withdraw Doctor Fate's membership simply because it's a different person wearing the helmet, since technically, the helmet is the Justice League member, not the person wearing it." Kara said.

"I know. I just figured I'd ask. I mean after all, Green Arrow got his wife on the League." Lena said.

"Laurel earned her place in the League and so did Felicity. Lena, you can't skip rungs on the ladder, you have to prove yourself to the whole League, just like everyone else did. Nia and Brainy will have to do the same thing and Krypto's an honorary member, since he's been with the League since it was founded. He's just not a member because he can't talk." Kara said, right as Krypto barked.

"No offense." Kara said to her dog as they both chuckled.

"I can't say I'm happy about this, but I get it. I'm still amazed people didn't think you were showing me favoritism when you made me your number two at Argo Enterprises after that reunion years ago." Lena said, disappointed, but understanding where Kara was coming from.

"That was because we weren't even friends back then, let alone preparing to spend the rest of our lives together. We were old school rivals. Not to mention there's no one on the planet who can run my company as successfully as I do. Even with my added duties as Supergirl and leader of the Justice League." Kara said.

"And I still don't know how you manage to be the most powerful CEO on the planet, in addition to being the most powerful hero on the planet, Superman be damned." Lena said and Kara smiled.

"Super speed helps. But seriously Lena, are you sure you're ready to get in the field? It's different than being behind the scenes at the computers." Kara said.

"I'm sure. Just like how I know that your team needs more firepower since Alex and Felicity moved to Palermo City and Karen, Donna and M'gann are all leaving for the summer and didn't J'onn say that the President might be transferring him to the DEO's new Smallville headquarters?" Lena asked, since something had caused Smallville to become a new hotspot for metahumans, causing Superboy and Ultrawoman as Lana was calling herself now, to become the new town heroes.

"Which is why I'm not arguing with you joining Nia, Brainy and I at the Island, especially since magic is one of the few things that can hurt me on this planet and with Zatanna working with Diana's team of Legends in DC, we could use some mystic firepower." Kara said and Lena nodded.

"As long as you promise me I'll get in the league before my little sister does, otherwise, I'll never hear the end of it." Lena said, though she was chuckling about that, so Kara knew she wasn't serious.

"I'm sure you'll get into the League soon." Kara said.

"I can't wait. Since I want to see the Watchtower." Lena said.

"And you will. Soon enough. But right now, let's stop pretending we both don't know the real reason you're still wearing that suit, because you look stunning in it." Kara said and Lena chuckled.

"Then that means it worked, so now that we're done talking shop, what are you waiting for?" Lena said with a smile as she pulled her fiance on top of her as they began to kiss while Krypto decided to make himself scarce.

Meanwhile, while both of his sisters were living their best lives on Earth, Zak-El was currently stewing on Argo City. He still couldn't believe that both of his sisters, plus that cousin of his, preferred to live on that primitive mudball named after dirt with a bunch of neanderthals than here on Argo with their own kind.

It was truly pathetic and the fact that their people wouldn't even consider claiming a planet that was already inhabited or under a yellow sun sickened him. The more he had these thoughts, the angrier he got. Not only did his parents applaud Kara and Sam for becoming protectors of Earth instead of conquerors, they also accepted that subclass genetic abomination of his sister, Karen and inducted her into the House of El without a second thought and embraced Kal-El's bastard half-breed children. They shouldn't encourage mating with humanity. Humans were not worthy of mating with Kryptonians.

Even Tal-Rho, once he'd been brought to Argo City, showed no signs of wanting to conquer Earth anymore. He was simply happy to be with his own people and to be with his mother again. That weakness sickened Zak and he was done hiding it.

So now he was acting on it. Using his mother's clearance on the High Council, Zak-El had managed to infiltrate the security chamber and retrieved what most considered to be a relic from the past. The last surviving phantom zone projector. Kept as a reminder of what Krypton had been and also to be used as a last resort for criminals who could not be contained on Argo.

But it did serve another purpose and he was ready to use it. Which was why he was currently hiding in the Jeweled Mountains on Argo, making sure that the projector was still functional.

"Begin retrieval of the following inmates. Dru-Zod, Ursa Dru-Zod and Lora Dru-Zod. Retrieve them all. Status pardoned." Zak said.

"Commencing retrieval now." the Phantom Zone projector said as it opened a portal to the phantom zone and summoned three people from it.

"At long last, we're free." the man said as Zak-El kneeled before him.

"Welcome home General Zod. Krypton awaits your leadership." Zak said as he bowed to General Zod, who, despite not knowing much about what was happening, grinned at the sight of new soldier to his cause.
