to 0500 March 23, 2016<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Metropolis, Suicide Slums to Stryker's Island<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Supergirl<br/><strong>Mentioned:</strong>New Justice League, Parasite, K-man, Superman(?)<br/><strong>Open:</strong>Supergirl, anyone<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong>None<br/><hr/><br/>Chris continued to use his makeshift lens to look over the prison facility below him.  Other than the guards gearing up for a riot in case their facility is the next one hit, there did not seem to be much out of place.  Some of them looked like they were going through the motions of it all.  Chris could kind of understand their feelings in the matter.  If it was not for Kara being dispatched to his location, Chris would feel like he was being left out of the action.  He rather be in Gotham where the action was known to be at the moment and not cooling his heels waiting for something to happen.  It was not missed on Chris's part that of all of the members of the New Justice League, he had the least amount of experience at this hero gig.  True Kara only had a few months on his part, but to everyone else Chris was the new kid on the block, after all it was not like he could tell everyone yet that he had five years of armed service as an officer under his belt, about a year of that in combat locations.  It was also not lost on his part that if had not been for the Batman vouching for him, he likely would not be a part of the League at all.<br/><br/>That was part of the debate going on in Chris's mind, the slightly insecure part that he thought he hid from everyone, the part of his mind that kept flogging itself for past failures.  The part that had failed Kia.  There was the other part of Chris though that was confident.  The reason why Batman vouched for him was because he knew the whole picture about Chris.  Chris also knew that in terms of raw power, he was up there in the League ranks, that Chris knew his abilities well and could adapt them on the fly.  Sure he was not in the same realm as Kara, but Chris was sure he could go to to toe with a full gambit of bad guys out there and come out on top.  It was this part of Chris's mind that he listened too.  If there was a bad guy out there impersonating Superman, and that imposter was any where near the power levels of the real deal, Chris and Kara were likely the members of the League that could take him on without serious risk of being hurt.<br/><br/><em>Invidia</em>let Chris knew well before the sensation of displaced air washed over Chris.  He smiled and let the lens of air dissipate and turned towards Kara, holding his arms out straight to reduce the effort of concentration needed to keep him aloft in the air.  Chris was glad that he did not need to raise his voice.  Kara was more than capable of picking out his words over the wind stream Chris was generating to keep him hovering in the air.  Also Kara presence let a part of Chris relax a bit more.  He was with the one person of the League he was most comfortable with and had worked with before.  If anything was going to happen now at Stryker's, the two of them should be able to take it on.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey there Supergirl.  As I said said, last one here has to buy.  Next time pizza at Zeo's is on you."</strong>Chris listened to what Kara had to say and nodded his head in agreement.  It confirmed what Chris had suspected.<strong>"Makes sense.  don't get me wrong, it is not like I want anything to happen here, but at the same time I hope we aren't here twiddling our thumbs while the rest of the team risks their skin.  In the mean time we wait."</strong><br/><br/>Not that waiting with Kara was any form of hardship.  When he first worked with her Chris had the same first impersonation as everyone else, that of a eighteen to nineteen year old girl.  As he spent more time with her, he stopped seeing her as such.  That lead to perhaps an additional complication that now in Chris' mind that he did not see her as teenager.  Instead she was a young woman with a costume that did not leave much to the imagination.  Chris turned himself so he was looking back at the prison, but not before he gave Kara a long look up and down.  He was a man after all, a man that had not been with a woman in a long time, and Kara did wear that costume well.<br/><br/>For all their waiting, neither Kara or Chris were prepared for the speed and the violence of the attack on Stryker's Island.<em>Invidia</em>screamed out a warning to Chris, but by the time he brought up the lens of air to give him some idea of what was going on, it was already over.  Chris watched as a green, blue and red blur rocketed into the sky, then a green missile hurled back down to the prison.  The impact and the blow that launched the green missile like thing at prison in the first place slammed into Chris, causing a disruption in his wind stream, making Chris fall about a hundred feet before he could form it again.  Chris looked back up in the air and saw the hovering form of what looked like Superman.  He was only there for a second, then he was gone, faster than Chris's mind could process.<br/><br/>As much as Chris wanted to go after the imposter, he could not.  Before the shock waves hit Chris, he saw several guards buried under the rubble of the two prison towers that collapsed.  They had people to save here.  Chris looked over to Kara and called out.<strong>"Supergirl!  Guards buried under the rubble, plus possible break out here.  We need to contain that first!"</strong>That was when Chris saw that same green blur lance into Kara and carry her skyward.   Chris heard the sound of the impact, and unlike other times he had been with Kara, the sound was off.  All the other times someone had tried to hit Kara, even other meta-humans, it was like they were punching steel.  No give at all, no sound or exhaling of air from Kara when she was hit.  This time was different.  It the sound of flesh striking flesh hard.  Chris also thought that he heard the crack of bone as well.<br/><br/>The difference in sound combined with the green light clued Chris in that this meta-human would be deadly to Kara.  Chris was about to hurl himself into the fray when the sound of concrete shattering and steel snapping.  Chris whipped his head about and his jaw dropped.   What in the fuck was that!  It was something out of a Cthulhu horror novel.  The purple skin and its declaration of needing more power clued Chris in to who the creature was, Parasite.  The thing could copy the abilities of meta-humans, as well their life energy.  Chris did not know if he could absorb his abilities, as they did not come from a meta-human gene in his body, but with his affinity with the elemental spirits.  Still, Chris had his own physical life energy and Parasite could soak that up like a dry sponge.  He could kill Chris even if he did not gain his abilities.<br/><br/>Chris saw part of the Parasite reach up to him.<strong>"Oh fuck no!  <em>Arturus!"</em></strong>Chris made a gesture, and made a connection with<em>Arturus</em>, and used that connection to to bring his will into solid form.   A wall of water, five hundred feet wide, two hundred feet tall, and fifty feet wide came into existence.   The water level about Stryker Island dropped about fifteen feet for all directions as far as the eye could see.  The wall towered over the form of the Parasite and the island, acting as a barrier.  Chris made it as hard as he could.  Not that he thought it would contain or keep the Parasite at bay if it already broke through the reinforced walls of Stryker's, but it would delay him long enough for Chris to aid Kara.  It also might lure the Parasite out into the ocean, that that was when Chris could put<em>Arturus</em>to work.  First he needed to get that meta off of Kara, or this was going to go south pretty damn fast.<br/><br/>Chris called upon<em>Invidia</em>and launched himself into the air at the combined form of Kara and the glowing green meta human.  Chris hardened and reinforced the wind stream in front of him.  Chris aimed himself as he aimed right at K-man, hurling his form at the speed of of close to four hundred miles an hour, his intent to slam hard into K-Man and knock him away from Kara.  As far as Chris knew, the guy was human, and this might be just enough to knock him out of the fight.  He was also likely did not have kara's hearing, and would not be able to hear Chris over the roar of what was essentially a miniature  class five tornado heading right at him.<strong>"Supergirl, MOVE!"</strong>
