Livewire


Peter was with the DEO while Gwen left earlier to visit her family in New York, so he's gonna be without tech support for a day or two, as the DEO were bringing in a new prisoner who was trying to break free and was able to get the restrains off and started fighting the agents.

That's when Peter gets involved and starts fighting off the alien as some of the other agents tried helping, but the alien made quick work of them when Kara comes flying in and the two of the quickly stop the prisoner with their combined strength.

Hank and a few more agents come in and start restraining the prisoner once more.

"He was tough." Kara states.

"She." Peter and Hank correct her.

"Oh. Respect." Kara complimented the unconscious alien. "Any chance I can have the rest of the day off?" She asks Hank since her mother is in town.

Kara was on her way out when she stops to see Peter.

"Hey, nice work back there, Skirt." Peter congratulates her.

"Yeah, I'd say we're getting better at working together." Kara replies happy to say it. "Where's Gwen?" She wonders.

"Gwen left this morning, she spends the holidays with her family in New York, I said that I couldn't join them this year with all of these prisoners popping out of everywhere." Peter explains and Kara understands as they both leave together since Peter has more time to go on patrol with Gwen out of town.

It just means he has to be a bit more careful since Gwen knows more than anyone how to fix it. Peter can do it himself, but Gwen doesn't like it when he does.

-

After a while, and seeing how calm the city seemed to be, Peter just started swinging around the city while listening to the radio he had added into his mask.

"This is Leslie Willis, coming to you alive and wired from Catco Plaza. The week of Thanksgiving, which means...it is time for my annual list of thinks I am not grateful for, and this year's list is only two items. Supergirl and Spider-Man. The blue-and-red abscessed teeth in the otherwise gleaming smile that is National City! How much do I despise, I mean loathe, their whole "master and apprentice" thing. And that hideous, like, rejected suits they wear? I mean, one wears a outfit that shines brighter than the sun while the other is wearing a skirt and tights. Seems like overkill from their ends, especially since I'm guessing nobody is trying to get with it. And how would that work? I mean, is Spider-Man like literally a half spider and man? Does he wear that mask because he has eight eyes underneath that? Superman and Supergirl don't wear those type of masks, so what's he hiding? And is everything the same down there? We talking spider parts, and tentacles? Maybe it's time for a break. Or a makeover." Leslie keeps going on when Peter hangs up, not wanting to think about himself like that, or about Kara.

-

Later, at Catco, Kara just invited Winn over to her place for Thanksgiving since he planned on spending it alone. Then she got the idea that maybe Peter would like to join them since she knows he doesn't have any family and Gwen being out of town when she sees Livewire in Cat's office.

"What is Leslie Willis doing in Cat's office?" Kara asks Winn.

"You have super-hearing." Winn reminds her and she listens in.

"I caught your broadcast, I warned you about going after Supergirl." Cat tells Leslie.

"You're always warning me about something. That's our dynamic." Leslie replies to Cat. "You tell me I'm crossing a line. A week later, there's a new line to cross."

"I discovered you in that shoebox of a radio station. I mentored you go the best of my abilities. And for the most part, I am proud of that." Cat says as Leslie welcomes herself to Cat's office drinks. "But going after a young girl, insulting her body, how she dresses, her sexuality..."

"Lack of sexuality." Leslie corrects her. "And last time I checked, I can do the same thing to Spider-Man, but as long as I brought you certain ratings, you didn't care how many webs of his I pulled. So why is she different?"

"I named her, Leslie. I am doing everything I can to cultivate a relationship between Supergirl and Catco. Besides, the Daily Bugle already beat me to Spider-Man, I'm not letting Jameson take her as well. If I could legally adopt her, I would." Cat explains to Leslie.

"I read your article, Cat. You're just as hard on her as I am." Leslie states regarding her recent paper on Supergirl.

"Supergirl is off the table. Effective immediately. While we're at it, so is Spider-Man." Cat states to her, since Spider-Man is helping Supergirl be a better hero and criticizing him and her are basically the same.

"What, you're dictating my content now?" Leslie questions her.

"Yes. Supergirl is changing the conversation of National City. Spider-Man is as you said it, the master to her apprentice. People don't want your brand of negativity anymore, Leslie. They want optimism, hope, positivity. "

"You're a hypocrite, Cat." Leslie informs her.

"And you're finished, Leslie." Cat states, putting her foot down for good.

"I have two years left on my contact. You are too proud, and you're too cheap to buy me out." Leslie reminds Cat.

"That's true. However, I'm not firing you, I'm transferring you to traffic chopper." Cat replies to Leslie. "You'll be National City's highest paid traffic reporter."

"You do this, you will regret it." Leslie warns Cat.

"Rush hour starts as 4:30. If you're not in the CatCopter when it goes up, you'll be hearing from my lawyer. Oh, and you better take some Dramamine, looks like it's gonna be a bumpy ride." Cat warns as thunder goes off from the storm approaching and Leslie takes her leave.

-

Kara makes her way to the restaurant where she ordered takeout food for her and her family.

"Hi. Takeout for Danvers." She asks the man behind the counter when she notices Peter at a table by himself and approaches him.

"If the weather's getting you down, you should know it'll never last." She tells him when he just notices her.

"Oh, hey, no. I was just...just got lost in thought." Peter admits not noticing her until now. "Holidays aren't the best time for me."

"What's that mean?" Kara wonders.

"My parents died a week after my own birthday. My uncle was killed right after Thanksgiving. And my aunt had a heart attack during Christmas." Peter recaps his family's history. "Oh, right, almost forgot, my real family died with my home world, according to Gwen, a month after I was born." He almost forgot his recent discovery of being the prince of Krypton.

"Wow, I can see why you're so gloomy now." Kara realizes, never hearing about his family like that. "Well, since Gwen is out of town, and I have a feeling that after that, you probably don't have plans for the holiday, how about a little Friendsgiving at my place?" She asks him.

"Really? Friendsgiving does sound kinda nice. And a little better than me just spending it alone watching the Charlie Brown specials. Family tradition, I really don't know why I do it anymore." Peter admits to her.

"Well, what do you say dealing with me and my family?" Kara asks him. "I mean, Alex is worried my foster mom's going to chew her out because I came out as Supergirl, so might be some family drama."

"You know, we haven't really spent time as friends outside the outfits, have we?" Peter just now realizes.

"Then let's change that. What do you say?" Kara asks, hoping to get to know the man who has helped her a bit more.

"All right, I'm in. Give me a time and place." Peter gives in, seeing no harm in some actual contact with people outside the DEO when Alex approaches the two of them.

"Okay. I figured it out." Alex tells Kara, not noticing Peter. "Mom is furious that you've come out, but she's pretending she isn't."

"I miss this family drama." Peter mumbled to himself.

"Have you considered that Eliza really isn't mad?" Kara asks her sister. "It's not like we're still kids that she has to worry about."

"She has always come down on me for not protecting you." Alex protests to her.

"Then maybe it's time for you to come out. Tell her who you really are. What you really do." Kara replies.

"You want me to tell her I'm a DEO Agent?" Alex questions her. "I can't. Officially, we don't exist. Peter never even told his family." She states pointing to said Peter.

"She's right. And when I did tell someone, they had a heart attack." Peter agrees with Alex.

"You're not helping." Kara informs Peter before looking back at her sister. "Look, if she is mad at you because she thinks that you're not looking after me, then tell her the truth. That your entire career, everything you've ever done in our life, it's all been to protect me."

Alex thinks and sees that Kara is right about that, maybe it won't be as bad. "Protecting you isn't my actual job." She informs Kara,

"Yeah, But you have more fun when it is." Kara replies to her. "Oh, Peter, I'll text you the address. Be there around 8?" She asks him.

"I got it." Peter promises before the sisters leave with their food order.

-

Peter was later walking down the street when his senses go off and looks up to see a helicopter crashing to the ground and quickly rushes into the alley to activate the Iron-Spider and takes to the skies where he's met up with Kara.

The door falls off the helicopter followed by the pilot and Kara goes to bring him to the ground safely and Peter grabs onto the helicopter while using Gwen's new magnetic hands to hold the helicopter still as Kara goes to save Leslie who's still inside.

Peter is holding the helicopter as long as he can, but his suit isn't supposed to be going for this long. Leslie is confused about why the helicopter has stopped when she looks and sees Kara approaching her.

"You two." Leslie complains, now understanding what's happening.

"Grab my hand." Kara asks her when a lightning bolt hits Kara and travels through her to Leslie and the helicopter. Which in turn blasts Peter causing his suit to malfunction when Kara now needs to bring Leslie to the hospital and Peter needs to find somewhere to ditch the helicopter before his suit blows up on him.

-

"Now for the latest on Leslie Willis, the shock-jock National City loves to hate. Willis is currently in a coma at National City General, although her fate would have been much more grim had it not been for the arrival of Supergirl and Spider-Man." The news goes on while Peter is fixing the arc reactor. The power source for his whole suit, it was damaged when the lightning bolt hit him, but Gwen always keeps extras around for emergencies like this and it's easily removable to be replaced.

"Parker, what are you doing here?" Hank asks as he sees he's working in Gwen's lab.

"The suit got struck by a bolt of lightning, full Back to the Future. Had to replace the arc reactor before it levels half of the city." Peter explains while removing the damaged core.

"Good thing you know how to do that, otherwise you'd be flying to New York." Hank states trying to joke.

"Well, I gotta get going. Skirt offered me a chair at her Thanksgiving dinner." Peter says as he deactivates the core. "See you around, chuckles." He mocks Hank who doesn't have much of a humor and leaves to dinner.

-

Once he made it to Kara's place, Peter was introduced to Winn and Alex's mother and he informed that he knew about Kara being Supergirl through him being Spider-Man. They then all sit around the table with dinner all out and they all sit around each other.

"Kara, your oven's not the best. Would you mind giving it a quick five seconds or so?" Eliza asks Kara and she removes her glasses and starts cooking the turkey with her heat vision.

"I guess powers like that comes in handy for more than just superheroing." Peter states as Kara places her glasses back on.

"I have to admit, the first time she did it I was a little worried." Eliza tells him. "What if we were all eating radioactive turkey?" She asks and they all laugh at that.

"It's no worse that the microwave. We'll all live." Alex assures them.

"A lot of things actually use a small amount of radiation to operate." Peter states. "Televisions, some phones, kitchen appliances, my entire suit I wear daily."

"Really? Don't you have to wash that suit?" Winn asks him.

"It's made out of nanotechnology. That's not exactly something you throw into your every day washer." Peter explains while taking a drink.

"You're having a lot of fun, Alex. Let's get some food in you." Eliza states.

"Yeah, everything looks great. Especially the pie." Winn replies in agreement.

"Oh, yes. That is the best pie in the galaxy." Alex assures him sarcastically. "Or so I'm told." She says looking to Kara who said that earlier today.

Kara then starts getting uncomfortable and tries changing the subject. "So, before we eat, I thought it would be nice if we went around and shared what we were grateful for, or any other feelings that we might want to share with family and friends, so let's share." She tells them.

"That was not subtle." Peter whispers just loud enough for Kara to hear.

"Okay. I'll go first. I'm grateful for everyone here. My best friend in the entire world, my sister who has always had my back, my super friend who keeps me alive, and the woman who always treated me like a daughter." Kara tells them.

"Thank you, sweetie." Eliza thanks Kara.

"Alex, do you wanna go next?" Kara asks her sister.

"Nope." Alex responds and takes another drink.

"Winn, why don't you go?" Kara asks.

"Yeah. Well, that's easy." Winn says when Kara's phone goes off.

"Sorry, I'll make this quick." Kara apologizes before leaving the room.

"Thanksgiving call? That's nice." Winn says. "Really very thoughtful." He mumbled.

"So, Kara tells me you didn't have anything to do on the holidays either?" Peter asks Winn.

"Yeah. What about you? Where's your girl?" Winn asks, regarding to Gwen since they met once.

"Out of town, with her family. Couldn't make it this year." Peter explains to him and as the silence grows, it gets more uncomfortable. "So, Eliza, you're a scientist?" He asks Kara's mother.

"A scientist is a general term, dear. I'm a bioengineer." Eliza informs Peter.

"Oh, my girlfriend is a bioengineer, too." Peter states.

"Alex is in the same field. I guess being a lab rat, it runs in the family." Eliza replied happy.

"There's something I have to tell you." Alex interrupts and Peter knows this isn't gonna end well. "When I was at Stanford, I was doing research in genetic engineering. And my work and connection to Kara, it came under scrutiny. And I was recruited by the government. I'm not just a doctor. I'm an operative for an organization called the DEO. We monitor alien life here on earth. I work in the field with Kara and Peter. I mean, that is my job, Mom, I look out for her." She says when Eliza stands out of her seat.

"I would be happy to carve this, Eliza." Winn offers regarding the turkey.

"Dude, this is not a good time to talk." Peter informs knowing what's gonna happen now, the same thing that always happens at holidays. Family feud.

"Are you out of your mind?" Eliza asks, raising her voice and rising out of her seat. "How could you do this, Alexandra?"

"She called her Alexandra. This is gonna get ugly." Kara warns the two of them.

"Her full name is Alexandra?" Was Peter's only question to what he just heard.

"How could I do what? Devote my entire life to watching over Kara?" Alex asks while also raising from her seat. "Well, I don't know, maybe it's because it's what you've told me to do since I was 14 years old."

"You lied to me for years." Eliza states.

"Is that what you got from all of that?" Alex questions. "Kara rises her life to protect other people, and she is a hero. And yet, I do the same, and I'm in trouble? That...is perfect."

"You think your father would be proud of this?" Eliza asks Alex.

"I will never win with you." Alex states before leaving.

"I'm gonna make a hasty retreat." Peter tells Kara.

"I'm with him." Winn says.

"Sorry about this." Kara apologizes to them.

"That's okay." Winn assures and they both leave Kara and Eliza alone.

"You wanna maybe get a drink?" Peter asks Winn.

"Sure, I'd love that." Winn agrees and they leave to find somewhere to go.

-

As for Kara, almost as soon as they left, she was called back into work after Cat sent a emergency text to Kara.

"What's the emergency?" Kara asks as she makes it to Cat's office.

"Last minute conference call to London and Beijing and nothing is working. Not my computer, not my phone." Cat explains and Kara goes to take a look at her computer. "I got that text off to you and then, boom."

"Maybe that's a sign you shouldn't work on Thanksgiving." Kara suggests.

"I always work on Thanksgivings, thank you very much. I know it probably seems sad to you, but I love it." Cat informs her. "Carter is with his dad, my mother won't eat a flightless bird, and I am not pulled in 400 different directions by employees who need constant wet-nursing." She explains to Kara as she is starting to see some similarities between Cat and Peter with the holidays.

"I think we need Winn's help." Kara says, not knowing what's wrong with her computer.

"What's a Winn?" Cat asks and Kara is confused to how she doesn't know him.

"He's...the I.T. guy. Sits right across from me." Kara explains when the lights all go off.

"What fresh incompetence is this?" Cat asks.

"Gobble, gobble. Miss me?" The voice of Leslie fills the room.

"Leslie?" Cat asks when the television screens show the new Leslie, her hair is now completely white, but not much has changed other than that.

"Leslie Willis is dead. D-e-a-d. Dead. She died in that CatCopter of yours. This is Leslie 2.0. Livewire. And you and I...were gonna have words." Leslie says to them through the screens.

"My god, Leslie." Cat says when sparks starts flying and the bolts all come together to form Leslie and she blasts lightning bolts before Kara starts dragging Cat out of her office as Leslie follows after them.

Kara drags Cat behind the counter in the kitchen of the floor. "She was in a coma." She tells Cat since they saw her this morning.

"Yeah, clearly she's recovered." Cat replies in a whispered voice.

"Ms. Grant, we have to get help." Kara tells her.

"Yes. Security. It's 20 floors down. Go, I'll keep her busy." Cat tells Kara and she doesn't feel good about it, but decides to use it as cover to get changed and leaves.

"Here, kitty, kitty, kitty." Leslie calls out for cat while traveling through the electrical equipment of the building causing it to explode until she finds Cat.

"What happened to you, Leslie?" Cat asks, not understanding how she got these powers.

"I've transcended. Do you really care how or why?" Leslie asks, knowing Cat better than that.

"Not particularly." Cat admits to her and Leslie was about to send a lightning bolt at Cat when someone comes blasting through the window and slides across the floor and blasts Leslie back, revealing Spider-Man. He quickly gets up and sees Leslie getting back up.

"Well, I can scratch that move off my bucket list." Peter jokes when Kara finally makes it through the window Peter just busted.

"You don't have to do this." Kara tells Leslie. "Let me help you." She asks, trying to avoid a fight.

"I'm good as is." Leslie says and shoots a blast at Kara who dodges it with her heat vision but Leslie moves across the room.

"You need to get her out of here." Kara asks Peter, regarding Cat. "Go." She says and Peter drags Cat away.

"Thanks. I was feeling a little depleted." Leslie says before vanishing again to hunt down Cat. As soon as she appeared, Peter was waiting ready to blast her into last week as Cat got into the elevator but all Leslie does is disappear before she hit the wall.

Cat is in the elevator when it starts to fail and falling.

"Oh, superheroes. Poor Cat's stock is plummeting." Leslie warns the two of them before maniacally laughing.

Kara and Peter rush to the elevator doors and Peter blasts them off and they look to see the elevator is plummeting, fast.

Peter drops down first and uses the magnetic pulls he used on the helicopter to stop the elevator and Kara opens the roof to get Cat out.

"You're safe now, ms. grant." Kara informs her before helping her out of the elevator.

-

"Many families in National City are celebrating this thanksgiving without electricity, as a series of inexplicable blackouts cripple the city, leaving people without power and with a growing sense of fear." The news say as the DEO has invaded the CatCo building to find out what they can.

"You two sure this was Leslie Willis?" Hank asks the two as they're both out of costume.

"She calls herself Livewire now." Kara informs Hank.

"And when they name themselves, they're nuts. At least, that's my experience." Peter adds on.

"But how did this happen to her? Just because she was hit by lightning?" Kara asks when a thought occurs to Peter.

"Actually, she didn't get hit by lightning. You did, Kara." Peter says and Hank understands as well.

"You're Element X. Normal electrostatic discharge intensified as it passed through your Kryptonian DNA, picking up unknown properties. That's what's created her." Hank explains and Kara now understands.

"So it's my fault She's this way?" Kara questions.

"Talk to me about her powers." Hank asks Peter.

"She seems to siphon energy." Peter explains to him.

"She sucked up my heat vision." Kara reminds him. "It's like she is energy. She becomes energy."

"But when she's not energy, she has a physical form you two can punch?" Hank clarifies to them.

"I was able to blast her across the room once." Peter replies.

"He means, yes, we can fight her." Kara explains to Hank.

"You got anything to help us?" Hank asks Peter.

"I'm sorry, an hour ago, this type of power didn't exist to humans, and you think I'd have something to stop it?" Peter asks him, trying to figure out how he'd think Peter had the time to do that. "Give me an hour, I think we have something from that Zarolatt we caught." He promises Hank, ready to pull off the impossible.

"Excuse me?" Cat interrupts them. "Agent Mulder, is it?"

"Munroe, ms. Grant." Hank corrects her.

"Well, your agents are destroying my building more than Leslie did." Cat informs them, but she is over exaggerating just a bit. "I'm assuming the FBI is going to reimburse me for all the damage they're doing?"

"We wouldn't be doing any damage if you'd allowed us to relocate you to a secure location." Peter states to her since they offered her protection.

"I didn't get where I am by running and hiding from a fight, mr. Panker." Cat tells him, mispronouncing his name. "Tomorrow is Black Friday, and CatCo will be open for business." She states before leaving.

"It's...Parker." Peter mumbled before turning to the agents. "Time to move out, guys." He tells them and they all start leaving and Cat calls Kara back.

"Do you need something, ms. Grant?" Kara asks seeing that Cat is setting up for the night.

"Yes. My life back." Cat responds. "Barring that, there's no reason for you to stay here. No reason for us both to be miserable."

"I don't mind." Kara informs Cat. "And I don't really feel comfortable leaving you here alone with Livewire on the loose."

"You? You're useless." Cat states harshly. "And I'm sure you're eager to get back to your family."

"Not particularly." Kara admits to her. "Me and my sister and my foster mom got in a really big fight earlier."

"You have a foster mother? That's mildly intriguing." Cat admits, never knowing that about Kara.

"Yeah, my parents passed away when I was thirteen, in, um, a fire." Kara quickly said, even though it's partially true. "I mean, it hurts. But I still feel close with them. And my foster mom, Eliza, she's great with me. It's just her and Alex."

"Well, mothers and daughters, it's...hard." Cat admits.

"Yours must be proud of you."

"Well, if she is, it's on some subterranean level." She says before going to get a drink. "In her mind, I have never lived up to my potential."

"You're the queen of all media."

"An accomplishment that never mattered to her. Don't get me wrong, I am entirely grateful." Cat says returning with her drink. "Everything I am, everything I have, is because of her constant pushing, let's call it. She was never satisfied with me, and so I've never satisfied with myself. Which is why I keep pushing, too."

"Pushing Supergirl." Kara now realizes.

"I should've pushed Leslie. Held her to a higher standard. The more awful she was, the more I rewarded her. Leslie turning into Livewire, that started a long time ago. It's my fault. I turned her into a monster." Cat says when she knows what she needs to do. "I need to fix this. I need to talk to the heroes. Surely the FBI has a direct line to them."

"I'll ask them." Kara says and starts leaving but quickly stops. "And also, I think I will go home." She says before leaving and quickly pulls out her phone and calls Peter's number.

"Hey, I need you to change into something shiny." She says hoping he understands.

Later she and Peter are hovering above CatCo where she's waiting for the two of them.

"Ms. Grant." Peter and Kara greets her.

"You know, if you would just give me your cell phone number, I wouldn't have to do so much back-channeling." Cat informs the two of them. "Now, you two want to catch Livewire, so do I. I can draw her out, but then we'll have to work together. What do you say, partners?" She asks them and they see that all they need is a solid plan.

-

Peter shows the device they whipped up years ago to stop a species with the same abilities as Livewire. The device is the size of a small package and the top opens to shoot out a electric current to absorb energy.

"This is a portable industrial capacitor. We just have to get it underneath her, spring it open and close it." Peter explains as she looks over the device. "The electricity running through will be drawn inside. Temporarily breaking Leslie down to the atomic level, until we can get her into a permanent container."

"Where'd you get this idea from?" Kara wonders not knowing how he could've thought of this.

"Want the realistic answer, or the better answer?" Peter asks her.

"Now I gotta, realistic." Kara tells him.

Peter thinks about how to word it, and knows it's gonna make him sound like a nerd no matter what. "I was watching Ghostbusters when it came to me." He admits to her causing her to chuckle.

"You gonna tell us your plan?" Hank asks them.

"This is between the three of us, we'll handle it." Kara promises them.

"Based on the amount of power she's consumed, there is a very real chance that she's gonna be strong enough to kill the two of you." Alex warns them.

"And it doesn't exactly help with how I wear a iron suit." Peter adds.

"Then let's get out there." Kara says and grabbing the device and they start leaving.

-

"Citizens of National City, this is Cat Grant, broadcasting live from Catco Plaza, which despite a vicious attack yesterday, is still open for business. This message is for the person behind the attack. Leslie, if you're hearing this, your grudge is with me, not National City, so let's not see if we can't come to an agreement. Let's meet where it all began, as they say. I'm not one to look back, but it just feels right this time." Cat says on the radio, setting up the location of the trap.

Leslie got the message and made it to the location where it all began, being her radio station, and sees she's alone.

"Where your bodyguards?" Leslie asks Cat seeing she's alone.

"I didn't think they were necessary." Cat informs Leslie.

"Shame. I really wanted to watch you all die."

"Leslie, you and I got through you not supporting Hillary in 2008, we can get through this. Just give me your terms."

"The only thing that you have that I want is your skin. And there are so many ways to skin a..." Leslie says when Cat interrupts.

"A Cat, Yes. Congratulations, you have the wit of a YouTube comment." Cat states to her. "Are we gonna talk or not?" She asks when Leslie starts powering up a lightning strike.

"Not!" Leslie says before sending the blast at Cat, who quickly got out of the way and the heroes come and surround Leslie from her left and right.

"Leslie!" Kara calls out while Peter has hooked up the device to his suit to make a makeshift proton pack to catch Leslie.

"Your 15 ministers are up, you boring, weak, pathetic excuses for heroes." Leslie tells them and Peter nods to Kara that she needs to keep Leslie distracted while the pact warms up to stop her.

Kara gets the message and flies at Leslie who puts her attention towards Supergirl and Peter sent a few blasts to help Kara when he accidentally hits Leslie into a transformer and she starts absorbing the power.

"That's my bad!" Peter admits when Leslie shows she now has electric whips. "There's a pun here, I just know it." He mumbles to himself when Leslie uses the whips and sends them both flying through a store window.

"How much longer do you need to charge?" Kara asks.

"Maybe a half minute." Peter calculates in his head.

"Stay down, charge, I'll hold her down." Kara tells him the plan and gets up only to get hit by the electric whip and sent flying down the street and Leslie holds her while shocking her through the whip.

"I wonder if I have enough power to stop your heart." Leslie says but before she could do anything, a power-source starts absorbing her up and Kara breaks free of the whip and sees as Leslie is pulled into Peter's trap.

"So, I have to say this. We came, we saw, we kicked her ass!" Peter states misquoting Ghostbusters when they first used the ghost trap on Slimer.

"That...was awesome." Kara states as to what she just saw.

"Thanks for your help, ms. Grant." Peter thanks her boss.

"You're welcome, Spider-Man, Supergirl." Cat says and now Peter needs to get Livewire back to the DEO before his suit overcharges from her and the catcher.

-

The next day, they got Leslie removed from the trap and she is now strapped down to a gurney being transported to her cell.

"Make sure she's placed in one of the power dampening cells. We don't want a repeat of last time." Peter warns the guards as they take Leslie away.

As Peter walks away, Kara approaches him with a shopping bag and handed the said bag to him.

"Okay. This is turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato, and a few slides of pie." Kara informs him and now he understands. "Payment in full for putting up with my crazy family."

"You know what? It was a nice change of pace from what I'm used to." Peter states to her.

"You mean being alone and watching Charlie Brown?" Kara asks him.

"Yeah, that summons up most of my holidays. It's just that...I'm grateful to have been included in a family for just that long." Peter confesses to her. "It feels nice having a out of work friend." He tells her who smiles back at him and decides to pull him into a hug.

Peter doesn't exactly know how to react since it's been so long since someone (other than Gwen) has shown him affection since his families died. Not knowing what else to do, Peter returns the hug when she breaks it off a few seconds later.

"Well, see you around, super friend." Kara says smiling before leaving him when Peter sees Gwen has finally returned from New York.

"Hey there, gorgeous." Peter greets her.

"Hey, you okay? I saw what was happening on the news." Gwen asks him looking over his face for any bruises.

"Don't worry, it was nothing Spider-Man and Supergirl couldn't handle." Peter explains to her as she pecks him on the lips.

"Do anything different this year or was it all Charlie Brown again?" Gwen questions knowing how he spends the holidays when he's alone.

"Actually, this year, I spent some out time with my super friend." Peter informs her and looks to Kara.

"Nice to see the greatest assets to the DEO are getting along." Gwen says before smacking him on the shoulder . "FYI, I know what you did to the arc reactor." She states before walking off and Peter laughs before rubbing the area she hit. She may not be a super powered person, but she is able to hurt you when she needs to.

"You and Supergirl did a good job taking down Livewire, Parker." Hank says as he approaches Peter. "Now the DEO has its first non-alien prisoner."

"Just doing my job, keeping the earth and everyone on it safe from threats, sir." Peter tells him, happy to have a job like this.
