Throw Away the Plan

Chapter 25 (Sara's PoV)

The next day was pretty calm in terms of activity. There was one alien who decided that it would be a good idea to try to shoot up a mall, but Kara and I were able to take care of the situation pretty easily. After that, it was back to sparring with Alex and Ava.

The sparring in itself was pretty fun, seeing as Ava and I were both pretty happy to have found someone who was skilled enough to give us a challenge.

The three of us went a few rounds like that until Kara came in, looking for something to do.

"It has been a while since the two of us went at it," Alex reasoned. "And I think there's still a little bit of Kryptonite left at the desert facility if you wanted to go there so we could use the emitters."

"Sounds fun," she smiled. "But maybe later. Sara, I just remembered-" She turned to me. "J'onn and Winn wanted to talk to you when you have a chance. Something about measuring sound waves. Felicity was there too and she looked really excited."

"Let them know I'll be there in a little while, I'll go get cleaned up," I told her, grabbing one of the small towels the three of us had had lying around the room.

"If the two of you want to keep sparring some, that's fine with me," I told Alex and Ava, planting a quick kiss on the latter's lips as I made my way to the showers.

"What's up?" I asked, walking into the training room I had been told they were in.

"Ah, you're here," J'onn smiled. "We can begin."

"Begin what?" I asked warily.

"We wanted to take you out to the desert so we could measure the range of your powers," Winn cut in to explain.

"Sounds like fun," I decided. "When were you wanting to go?"

"We've got some vans loaded up and ready, so whenever you are, I suppose," J'onn said.

"Sounds like a plan," I announced. "I'll be down there in like ten minutes, I'm just gonna let Ava know where I'm going."

"We'll meet you down there, then."

I was on my way down to the DEO's garage when I ran into my parents.

"There you are, Sara!" Mom exclaimed. "We've been looking for you!"

"Well then it's probably a good thing you found me when you did- I was actually about to leave," I told them. "What's up?"

"Well, it's just that we haven't seen all that much of you the past few days," Dad told me. "We were hoping we could just... I dunno. Do something together or something."

"Well, in that case," I said slyly. "Why don't we see if you guys could come with me? J'onn and Winn were going to take me out to the desert so they could run some tests on my powers. I'm sure they won't mind if you guys came with."

Sure enough, J'onn had no problem with my parents tagging along, and we were soon on our way to the desert outside National City.

During the ride there, J'onn filled my parents and I in on what we would be doing.

"This trip serves a bit of a double purpose," He told us. "Not only will we be measuring the range of Sara's powers, but we will also be picking up some equipment that may prove useful in the battle against the Worldkillers."

"What do you mean 'picking up'?" Dad asked. "We're in the middle of nowhere."

"Yes and no," J'onn said, looking out the front windshield. "Ah, we're here."
