Chapter 63

After school, Karen, M'gann and Donna were hanging out at National City Mall, drinking smoothies in the food court.

"So, is this what normal human girls do?" M'gann asked.

"You're asking the wrong people Megan, since none of us are exactly normal. Despite how we look." Karen said as she wrapped her arm around Donna's neck as she leaned into the Kryptonian.

"And thank you for making me feel like a third wheel." M'gann said and Donna chuckled.

"Well, we could've invited Connor to make it a double date." Donna said with a smirk as M'gann froze.

"I don't know what you're talking about." M'gann said.

"Yeah right. You really think that none of us have noticed you two not so subtly flirting with each other? Why don't you ask him out? I doubt he'd object." Karen said.

"Is that the proper thing to do? I thought the boys always asked the girls out." M'gann said.

"Yeah, like 50 years ago when it was taboo for girls to even think about taking the lead, let alone two girls dating each other, but as you can clearly see, things have changed." Karen said.

"Anyways, Donna, how's model U.N. going?" M'gann asked, trying to change the subject, since Donna had shown a bit of an interest in politics, so she'd joined their school's model united nations.

"Pretty well actually. Especially since I was assigned to one of the new additions to the U.N. in real life that they recently updated to include mock U.N. to include." Donna said and Karen chuckled, since she'd already heard that.

"I'm representing Hephaestia." Donna said with a chuckle, since her homeland actually had recently joined the United Nations in real life after months of negotiations between the United Nations and Hepheastia's queen, Wonder Woman, though her identity was still a secret, since while the Queen of the Amazons was known as Diana of Themyscira, she still maintained her secret identity of Diana Prince using glasses, just like Supergirl and Superman did.

"That's ironic. Please tell me whoever's representing Atlantis is secretly an Atlantean." M'gann said.

"No, as far as I know, Kaldur won't join us at normal school. Apparently he's too good to live a normal life. Or at least our version of a normal life." Karen said.

"And what about you?" M'gann asked Karen.

"School paper and news station. I'm choosing to follow in Clark's steps as a reporter, since while I love Kara, science is not my thing." Karen said, but before the conversation could continue, her ears perked up as she heard something.

"What is it?" Donna asked, recognizing the look on her girlfriend's face.

"Something big just broke atmo and it's moving fast. As in right for the city." Karen said as she used her x-ray vision to see for herself.

"It's a ship, not a big one, but still a ship. And it looks like it's out of control and most of National City's protectors are otherwise occupied." Karen said, since Kara was in meetings all day for her company's new weapon project, Alex and J'onn were overseeing a prisoner transfer to Belle Reve and Felicity wasn't experienced enough for this kind of thing yet.

"Looks like we're the only ones who can get there in time." M'gann said, though she was a bit nervous, since this would be their first team save without their mentors' help.

"We don't have a choice. If that thing isn't intercepted, it could hurt a lot of people when it crashes. We need to slow it down and redirect it so that it lands somewhere it won't hurt anyone." Karen said and her teammates nodded as they left the mall to suit up before all three of them took off, since it was fortunate that all three of them could fly.

"What's the plan?" Wonder Girl asked her fearless leader as they flew in perfect formation towards the ship that was crashing down to Earth.

"I'm gonna fly ahead and try to put out the flames on the pod with my freeze breath so that Miss Martian can get closer to it. After I do that, I'm gonna get behind the ship and try to level it out. Wonder Girl, meet it head on and try to slow it down. Miss Martian, until the ship is no longer on fire, keep your distance, but try to use your telekinesis to help steer the ship and your telepathy to try and find out if anyone's inside that thing and if so, what they want." Power Girl said, once again proving herself a natural leader as she soared ahead of the others and used her freeze breath to extinguish the flames on the craft before grabbing the thrusters and using all her strength to attempt to slow the ship down, a feat that was made easier when her girlfriend grabbed the front of the ship and began pushing it upwards as Miss Martian began using her telekinesis to do the same.

"Miss Martian, you getting anything?" Power Girl asked as they tried their best to steer the ship out towards the badlands, where no one would get hurt.

"I'm definitely detecting a life form in there, but it's unconscious, I can't read their thoughts." Miss Martian said.

"Great, just great." Wonder Girl said as they managed to safely crash the ship in an empty field, where the only damage done was to the plants.

"Thank goodness we're all indestructible." Wonder Girl said as she shook the pain out of her hands.

"It may not have been smooth, but at least no one was hurt and the pod landed safely." Power Girl said.

"Which is the only reason you're not in trouble for disregarding protocol and not alerting us to this incident." Supergirl said as she, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter arrived on the scene.

"We were the closest ones to the scene and we thought you were busy." Power Girl said, but then Supergirl smiled.

"Relax, we're proud of you for taking the initiative and getting the job done right. It proves that you've been paying attention during training. That's why we didn't step in when we saw the three of you handling it. But now, Green Lantern, can you please scan the ship so we can find out where it came from?" Supergirl asked her sister.

"On it." Green Lantern said as she held out her ring.

"Scan complete, designation, Tamaraen starship, escape pod class." the ring read out.

"Escape pod. That doesn't sound good. Especially if it's this beat up." Wonder Girl said.

"No it does not." Wonder Woman agreed, right as a loud shriek was heard as several lizard-like aliens dropped out of the sky.

"What are these things?" Wonder Girl asked as her sister and mentor drew her sword.

"Gordanian mercenaries and I'm guessing they're after whoever's in that ship. You three get the ship to the Island safely and guard it. We'll take care of this trash." Supergirl said, making it clear this was not up for debate.

"You heard her, let's go." Power Girl said as all three teenagers picked up the ship and flew it away.
