Justice League: Justice's End

Chapter 12: Take Over pt. 2

  "Our task in here is over. Meet me outside." The blonde woman ordered Task Force X. She turned her attention back to the President, smirking at him.

  "How about we take some fresh air, Stalllion?" She grabbed the secretary by the waist and tightened her grip on President Stallion as she took off through the hole she bursted in earlier.

   Landing on the lawn of the White, she tossed Byron Stallion on the ground while gently releasing the secretary.

  "You've been so helpful, love. I'm glad you're on our side." The blonde woman said to the secretary, grabbing her hand.

  "Anything for you." Jasmine replied, smiling at the blonde woman.

   President Byron Stallion frowned as he saw Jasmine with the powered being. "You traitor, you've played me from the start." He called out to the secretary. Stallion then glared at the blonde woman.

  "You're so identical to Supergirl but I know you aren't her. Who are you really?" Byron asked, knowing that she's not the real Supergirl.

She pinned him on the ground with her foot, a sly look appearing on her face. "I thought you'd never ask. I fooled the others but I knew you wouldn't be fooled." She replied in an amused tone.

"My name's Karen Star, but call me Power Girl." She revealed herself as Power Girl to President Stallion.

"I look like Supergirl because I'm her clone. I was created by..." As Power Girl was to finish, a voice from behind interrupted her. "By me. I created her, Byron my old friend."

   The President recognized the voice and looked behind Power Girl to see General Gaines approaching.

"Richard. I knew this was all your doing. To bad I didn't place a bet on it." Byron Stallion spat at the general with a glare.

General Gaines broke into a laugh as he looked at his old friend with amusement. "Don't you understand yet? Then let me make it clearer to you, Byron."

"You might call what I'm doing chaos, but I'm establishing order. I'm bringing to the world what it needs, peace." The General gave his point of view to the President.

  "For far too long you and the rest of the world idolized these heroes. While denying the reality that they've been responsible for most of our problems. I intend to help the people who always suffer because of their actions."

  "Richard, are you hearing yourself?" Byron asked in disbelief. "Your foundation of peace is being based on slaughter and lies. All of this is inhumane. You're turning everything into a sick joke."

   President Bryon coughed as Power Girl pressed more pressure on his chest. "I know you, Richard. Why are you really doing this?"

   The general looked at the President with a stern look, sighing as he rubbed his eyes. "Want the truth, Byron? I'll tell you. Because I'm still clinging on."

   Knowing what he meant, Byron's expression saddened with bad memories. "A day doesn't go by that I miss Laurie, Clair, and Jason too. Just as much as you do." Byron said, thinking about the people he mentioned.

  "But Laurie was my wife! And Clair and Jason my children!" Gaines shouted in anger as tears angrily streamed down his face. "I miss my family and I lost them because of them!"
