6 Hours Ago:
"So, Supergirl, lets get the obvious questions out of the way. Are you in fact, like Superman, a Kryptonian, and if you are, what is the relationship between the two of you? Are you his wife, his sibling, his friend, or is there absolutely no relation between the two of you?" Cat asked curiously.
She was a little disappointed to have only gotten an afternoon slot for the Supergirl interview, whereas Superman had been able to get a prime time interview slot on his first public interview with Louis Lane of the Daily Planet. Had she been a lesser person she might have been tempted to accuse the media of gender bias but she knew for a fact that wasn't the case.
Supergirl had saved a lot of lives yes, but Superman had just saved the entire planet from a Kryptonian Army invasion when he got his first interview, in fact it wasn't even an invasion, it was an attempted eradication of the species. There was also the fact that Superman was the first of his kind, so there was a lot of novelty surrounding the situation, whereas with Supergirl it was more of a been there seen that situation.
Cat therefore knew that, well…that it was what it was and there really wasn't much she could do about it without playing the victim to the public, in other words, manipulating the public by telling lies, which was something she would never do. She just hoped that in time Supergirl would be able to live up to the Superman legacy, or dare she say it, surpass it.
"Well, as you already know, Superman's real name is Kal El. Mine is Kara Zor El, so yes, we are family members. My father and his father were brothers, so he is my close cousin. I was actually sent here to protect him and to guide him towards his destiny, but for reasons I cannot disclose, his pod made it to earth before mine while I was stuck in another dimension where time has no meaning. That is why, despite being born thirteen years before he was, I am now actually younger than he is." Kara explained, trying to summarize the story into as short a version as she could without making it hard to understand.
"In another dimension? Okay, that's….not normal at all, I mean none of it is, but we'll leave it at that for now. This interview is not necessary about learning about your past more than it is about getting to know Supergirl the person. So with that said, are you and your cousin close? And the symbol on your chest, is it a family crest?" Cat asked.
"We are not as close as I would have liked, in fact for a long time I felt like he abandoned me. However, the bond between us is unbreakable. I will always love him just as I am sure he will always love me. And yes, it is a family crest, it looks like an S but where we come from this symbol stands for hope." Kara explained with a nostalgic smile.
"Hope huh? That sounds like a wonderful ideal."
"It is. It is what drives both me and my cousin. I would like to believe that we are the embodiments of that ideal, or at least I know that we both try our best to be." Supergirl said earnestly.
"I see. So Supergirl, do your people…are your people attracted to human beings? I mean you obviously aren't like us with you being practically invincible and all, but you do look like us humans, albeit perfect versions of us. What I'm trying to say is, is there a love interest somewhere out there? And can you tell us about him or her?" Cat asked with both curiosity and excitement.
"Well….I uh…..yes, yes! Yes there is!" Kara said excitedly, unable to contain her excitement try as she might.
"And he's human?" Cat asked, surprised.
"Y-yes, I mean, to the best of my knowledge he is." Kara said joyously.
"Oh my God look at you? I know that look, Supergirl, you're in love!" Cat said as realization dawned on her.
"What? N-no! Pssh! I'm not in love I….I just like him…a lot. That's all." Kara sputtered, blushing up a storm as her cheeks turned bright red.
"Supergirl I can see it all over your face. You have to tell the audience, I'm sure the whole world is just dying to know who the lucky bastard is." Cat insisted.
"Well, I…I can't tell you his name of course but he…he is tall, very tall but not too tall you know. He's in great shape and he is young, successful, handsome, very, very intelligent, funny, weird but good weird you know, lovable weird. He's also very sweet but in a roundabout sort of way. He tries to pretend he doesn't care but then he does things that show that he really does care." Supergirl tried to explain without giving away too much detail.
"He also has this presence about him, like you know, like military commander or a CEO or something. He commands a lot of respect without actually demanding it. He has the body of a greek God but he is also kind of a geek. He's Greek Geek, or a cross between a jock and a nerd." Supergirl said, smiling and laughing fondly as she tried to imagine the look on her crush's face at being called a Greek Geek.
"We've been seeing each other for two months now, but we haven't taken the relationship to the next level yet, but I uh…I think we uh…could, maybe soon, I dunno…oh my God I forgot he's actually listening to the interview!" Supergirl squeeled, covering her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"Wow, honestly that was more information than I expected, but that only proves that you are in love with him." Cat said triumphantly.
"W-what? That doesn't prove anything!" Supergirl exclaimed in complete denial about her feelings.
"When you love someone the way you love him, you cannot stop talking about them. If someone asks one question that you can answer in one sentence, you can end up talking the whole day about that person. At the very least you have a very real and strong crush on him." Cat said confidently.
"Well, when you put it like that then I guess you make a good point." Kara admitted.
"Good, now tell us his name." Cat urged.
"Never! I would never jeopardize his life like that. I have very dangerous enemies. I can't do that to him." Kara said sternly.
"Where does he live?" Cat persisted.
"Not in National City, that's all you're going to get." Kara said defensively.
"Okay fine. I know I have intruded on your privacy, so I will back off now." Cat said, although internally she was happy that she had managed to get Supergirl to reveal that much information as she was sure that with what she had she could narrow it down and figure out who the mystery man was, or at least she could make a list of potential suspects.
"Thank you." Supergirl said with gratitude.
"So, crime fighting. Do you have a side kick? If not, do you plan to get one? Is there someone helping you in the shadows, oh, and do you have a secret identity….?" Cat asked numerous questions consecutively, the rest of the interview carrying on in that light hearted tone as Cat didn't want to drive Supergirl away.
She wanted Supergirl to feel comfortable with her and Catco, in other words, this interview was a welcoming gesture so to speak. If Supergirl felt comfortable and enjoyed her first interview at Catco, then she would definitely come back again, which is when Cat planned to ask the real, hard questions. For now, getting to know the girl of steel and formerly introducing her to the citizens was good enough.
Currently:
"I guess you're angry about the interview." Supergirl said self consciously.
She was sitting on Naruto's dinner table, in his penthouse, as they did every single night for the last two months now, and as usual, she was in her Supergirl costume and he was in one of his expensive suits, except without the tie and the blazer.
"Why would you think I am angry at you?" Naruto asked curiously.
"You haven't spoken a word since I arrived." Supergirl said incredulously.
"Nor have you. Are you angry with me?" Naruto asked.
"No, of course not!" Supergirl said firmly.
"See? Not talking does not equal to angry." Naruto countered, Supergirl looking at him like he had just grown a whole new head on his shoulders, Naruto trying, and failing to contain the mischievous smile that was threatening to form on his facial features.
"Wait, you did that on purpose? You…you butthole!" Supergirl said half angrily half amusedly.
"Butthole? Seriously? What's the difference between ass and butt? It's the same thing. You can say asshole you know." Naruto said, rolling his eyes at how 'innocent' Supergirl was.
"I thought you would be angry because I talked about you on tv. I know that we haven't really taken things to the next step and that I had no right to…"
"Kara, its okay. I mean, its not really okay that you have put a microscope on me but I understand that it was an innocent mistake. You have to learn from it though and try not to make the same mistake again." Naruto replied calmly.
"Which part was a mistake exactly?" Kara asked with a raised eyebrow, feeling a little insecure as she found herself wondering if Naruto actually had any serious intentions about her.
She knew that she was the one that made a move on him, the one that kept coming to his apartment uninvited, because she was uninvited, even if she was never once turned away or made to feel unwelcome, not counting the first night she came of course.
Still, everything about their relationship thus far was about her one sidedly pushings things in a certain direction, and while there was no resistance whatsoever from the Blonde Uzumaki, there also wasn't exactly much effort from him.
"The part where you revealed my identity. It seems you aren't aware but Catco has released a poll of suspected Supergirl suitors on their social media website, and I'm the lead suspect. Most fans have voted that they believe that I am Supergirl's secret lover. The fact that my name appeared on the poll in the first place would have been a matter of concern, but the fact that I am the lead suspect makes things all the more complicated." Naruto explained, Kara's eyes wide as her mouth opened and closed repeatedly without any words coming out.
"It also makes things worse that you gave a time frame to how long we have been seeing each other. The public are not as naïve as you might have thought, they figured it out that two months ago is around the time that you and I first met on the rooftop of Wave Consolidated." Naruto retorted, Kara's heart sinking further and further into a pit as Naruto spoke, realizing what an absolute blunder she had made.
"I'm so sorry Naruto-kun! I had no idea my answers gave away so much information. I really thought I was being careful not to reveal anything significant." Kara apologized sincerely, feeling horrible about the kind of trouble and danger she had wrought upon Naruto's life with her actions.
"I'm not angry with you. Like I said, I know it was an honest mistake. I know you would never endanger my life intentionally. There is nothing to forgive, I only ask that you learn from your mistake that's all." Naruto replied.
"Is that why you asked me to sweep the area when you opened the window for me? Because everyone suspects you and I to be in a relationship?" Supergirl asked curiously.
"Indeed. It only makes sense for people to start watching my penthouse in order to catch us in the act. Villains, media, and other unknown parties that have a vested interest in me, you, or us together will now be monitoring my place of residence. My security is tight though, this penthouse is quite the fortress and so is my work place. I've beefed up security ever since Poison Ivy's attack." Naruto replied.
"Naruto-kun my enemies are super villains, some of which give even me a run for my money. I think….whatever this is, we should end it. I think I've ruined it beyond repair. Its best we stop now before you get hurt." Kara said, trying and failing to hold back the tears that started falling from her eyes.
"Well, that's up to you. Personally, I would be very hurt and disappointed if you pulled out now. I was actually planning to ask you to be my girlfriend." Naruto deadpanned, much to Kara's utter surprise, unable to believe the information her brain was retrieving from her ears, Naruto, if he noticed the stunned silence, doing well not to show it as he simply continued with his monologue.
"I know its customary to ask someone out on a date before making such a proposal but seeing as you and I cannot be seen in public then I thought that…" Naruto trailed off as Supergirl flew across the table and tackled him to the ground, the girl of steel taking matters into her own hands as she began fervently kissing the blonde Uzumaki, straddling him and grinding her crotch against his own, the result being an instant, large, and hard erection, Kara marveling at the sheer size of it, unable to believe how much her crush was packing.
'Wait! Its actually 'my boyfriend' now. He just asked me out after all! Rao I haven't even answered him and I'm already…' Kara trailed off as realization dawned on her.
"This means yes, in case you were wondering…" Kara tried to say in a confident and sexy tone, and surprising managed to pull it off perfectly, the blonde Uzumaki falling deeper into her clutches as he couldn't hold himself back anymore, getting to his feet instantly as he picked up his now girlfriend and practically glided toward his room, a squeal of joy escaping from Kara's throat as she clamped around her boyfriend, arms around his neck and legs tightly wrapped around his waist, excitement and lust building up rapidly in anticipation of what would forever be marked as one of the happiest and most pleasurable evenings of her entire life.
Three Days Later: Undisclosed Location
"Gentlemen, an opportunity has presented itself before us, and I believe that this could be a game changer." Amanda Waller said as she pressed a button on a screen controller in her hand, the gigantic screen showing one large image of one person, namely, Uzumaki Naruto.
She is big boned, chubby woman of African American heritage, who has short black hair and beautiful brown eyes, wearing a blue blazer, white shirt, blue skirt along with a black pantyhose and black shoes.
She was the only woman in the room, surrounded by a seven powerful men, including state secretary of defense and head of Project Hell (7734), General Lane, Head of the ASA, Percy Odell, Head of ARGUS, Colonel Steve Trevor, Head of Cadmus, General Wade Eiling, and Head of the DEO General Calvin Swanwick
"Let me get this straight, this has something to do with that media gossip nonsense about Supergirl being in a relationship with the boy genius Naruto Uzumaki, right?" General Swanwick asked with a large degree of incredulity in his tone.
As head of the DEO, he had never trusted Superman and had dedicated all of his strength and resources to finding out as much information about Superman as possible, including but not limited to his secret identity, place of residence, secret lair, close friends, allies, family, and his strengths and weaknesses.
It wasn't that Superman had done anything to make General Swanwick doubt him, in fact, it was the complete opposite. But, for someone with that much power to be that good was just hard to believe. And even then, good or bad, for him to just simply exist as he was, was a matter of serious national and planetary security.
However Supergirl had come around and had voluntarily decided to work with the DEO. Technically she didn't work for the DEO but she was as accommodating to them as they were to her, and the relationship was a surprisingly very good one. In her time there, Swanwick had gotten to know her very well and had even begun to see her as his protégé.
Everyone at the DEO loved her and General Swanwick actually had no doubt that if he ordered everyone to kill Supergirl, at least 75 percent of them would outright refuse and turn against the DEO, and the rest would drag their feet about while trying to stall as much as possible.
She was good people, loyal people. She genuinely cared for the people of earth and General Swanwick had seen first hand the lengths she would go to in her efforts to protect humankind. So whatever Waller was up to, The General had no intention of supporting her whatsoever.
"Nonsense you say? Those words sound absolutely devoid of reason and objectivity General Swanwick. Don't tell me that you have become attached to this…this alien thing?" Amanda asked with disgust.
"Waller, at the DEO I deal with aliens on a daily basis. I agree that we must have means to protect ourselves from them, and I am willing to do what it takes to do that. But to refer to aliens as things? Just who is the one devoid of objectivity here? Without even mentioning the fact that aliens are obvious sentient beings, there is also the fact that 99% of the ones that we have encountered have superior technology to us. If a mere thing can have superior technology to us, then what does that make us?" Swanwick asked incredulously.
"Oh for God's sake quit your petty squabbling and just get to the damn point. What have you found out about Naruto Uzumaki? What is his connection to Supergirl? Do you have anything we can use?" General Wade Eiling asked impatiently.
"As a matter of fact I do. Take a look at this." Amanda said as she pressed a button on her screen controller, causing another image to appear to replace the one of Uzumaki Naruto, an image showing Supergirl flying through Metropolis, and another image showing a gigantic black spot.
"What are we looking at here, Amanda?" General Lane asked curiously.
"In the last three days since Supergirl's interview, I have had surveillance over every one of the suspects listed at Catco. Every day, at between 8pm and 10pm, Supergirl was seen flying towards this blank spot. Uzumaki Naruto's penthouse is located around this blank spot." Amanda explained.
"That's a radius of four miles Amanda. Do you have any idea how many buildings are contained in a four mile radius in Metropolis?" General Swanwick asked condescendingly.
"I think the more important question is why there is a blank spot to begin with around that area?" Steve Trevor asked curiously.
"Something, probably some new advanced technology or even alien technology is blocking any satellite imaging of that area. Uzumaki Naruto runs the most advanced technological and bio engineering institute in the world. He is the obvious suspect here. Supergirl is also an alien from Krypton, I don't need to tell any of you how advanced their technology is. Either way, that Supergirl has gone to this blank area, where Uzumaki Naruto also happens to reside, every day since the Catco interview and the release of Catco's poll, would suggest that Uzumaki Naruto is in fact Supergirl's love interest. It is not absolute proof, but we are not policemen nor are we the judiciary. We do not need proof beyond reasonable doubt, we just need common sense." Amanda replied diabolically.
"I am in agreement with Miss Waller. Although common sense is not common to everyone, I am inclined to believe that at the very least everyone in this room possesses the ever illusive common sense. With that said, I move we vote right as of now. Raise your hands if you support Amanda's plan." Agent Percy Odell said as he raised his hand in the air.
He is a bald headed man of African descent, possessing dark skin and a piercing stare. He appears to be a well mannered man, and yet also possesses a frightening presence, like how one would feel if they were standing next to a sociopath, and perhaps he was one, in fact, one would be hard pressed to believe that none of the men and woman in the room were not in fact sociopaths given how much lying, manipulation, and outright murder of the innocent they were capable of in the so called name of National and Planetary Security.
"We do not even know what her plan is you dimwit!" General Eiling said rudely.
"She called us here at five in the morning. She obviously has a plan and she intends to fulfill it today. Do we really need the finer details? This Naruto Uzumaki has become a billionaire without having a single binding government contract, and continues to refuse to produce weapons for the Government. We need some sort of leverage over him, as we do over Supergirl." General Lane said sternly.
"I thought we had Lex Luthor for that. He has served us well has he not? Do you intend to throw him out like trash, with everything that he knows about us?" General Eiling asked warily.
"Why does it have to be either or? Why not secure them both? And why would we be content with just Lex Luthor? Lex Luthor has the second best technology in the world, why should we settle with second best? Isn't it about time we brought that pompous child Naruto Uzumaki to heal?" Amanda asked rhetorically.
"Fine, I stand corrected. You have my vote!" General Eiling said irritably, raising his hand up in the air in support of Amanda, not that Waller ever doubted that he would because if there was one thing that she knew about General Eiling it was how obsessive he was about State Authority, and how angry he was about heroes and rich billionaires refusing to submit themselves to State Authority.
In fact, the same could be said about all of these men, even Steve Trevor and Calvin Swanwick. They were currently compromised because of their feelings for Wonder Woman and Supergirl respectively, but one can not change their nature so easily, and Waller knew that better than anyone out there.
"As you have mine. Whatever your plan is, make sure it works and make sure that it doesn't backfire. I've never seen any of these aliens, Supergirl included, as our allies, but they haven't been our direct enemies either. Whatever their end game is, we are fortunate that they haven't attacked us directly yet. If you piss off Supergirl, and by extension Superman as well, I shudder to think what it would take to defeat them, if we even could." General Lane said gravely, nevertheless raising his hand in the air as he voted in support of Amanda Waller's plan.
"We know the weaknesses of the Kryptonians General. Magic, Red Sun UV Rays, and most of all, Kryptonite. They can be defeated. They are not the Gods that they pretend to be." Amanda replied with contempt.
"Let us hope that you are right then." General Lane said, he, along with everyone else taking note of how Colonel Trevor and General Swanwick did not raise their hands, not that any of them were surprised really.
"The results are three votes to two. Thank you for your time ladies and gentlemen. I will call you all back here for a debrief when I have both Naruto Uzumaki by the balls and Supergirl by her indestructible breasts. As for you General Swanwick, if you do or say anything to tip Supergirl off or help her in any way whatsoever…" Waller trailed off, leaving the threat hanging in the air for Swanwick to put the rest of the sentence together.
Later that Morning: 10 am
"Sir you have a visitor, and she bypassed all security to get to your office. She…she appears to have teleported to your office." Hack said, Naruto simply raising an eyebrow at that as he wondered who would have the audacity to do such a thing, not to mention the power or means to teleport themselves to, well, anywhere.
"What should I do sir?" Hack asked warily.
"Leave her be for now. Continue protecting the digital mainframe and run a deep dive on her background. That's all for now. She'll have to wait until I am done with my meeting." Naruto replied, using his mind transfer technique in order to communicate telepathically with his subordinate.
"Consider it done sir." Hack replied in the affirmative.
Naruto was currently in a management meeting, having gathered all the heads of department for the regular monthly meeting and debrief. Some might have wondered why he was acting so nonchalant about there being a stranger that could seemingly teleport anywhere within his business premises.
However, there really was no need to worry, at least as far as Naruto was concerned. All the sensitive areas where protected with sensor and life form detection seals, space time barriers and alarm barriers. There were also trap seals that were all over the sensitive areas so there really was no need to worry.
And if someone tried to walk in and attack his staff or physically make their way to the sensitive areas, they would have to deal with Looker's super powered and super fast and skilled sange. Naruto hadn't put space-time barriers around his office specifically because he wanted to personally deal with whoever would dare to go straight for him, and because apart from his computer, which was protected by the most advanced tech and software on earth, and was also protected by arguably the best technopath in the world, there really was nothing of value anyone could steal from his office.
"I've found some information about her sir. It was heavily protected, far more protected than information on the president himself, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Very interesting…and horrifying stuff sir." Hack said gravely.
"Open your mind to me. It will be quicker that way." Naruto ordered, Hack doing as instructed as she tried to project her thoughts to her leader, Naruto doing the rest as he downloaded all the information he needed from her.
"Project Ultiman huh? From what I have gathered, the project is near its completion. Hehehe! Another Government Meta Human project for Hive to swoop in and steal right from under their noses." Naruto laughed diabolically.
"Sir they're being implanted with false memories. Since your brother is currently dealing with the Royal Flush Unit situation, perhaps Brainwave can handle this one. Its right up his alley." Hack said much like Rose did a few days ago Naruto couldn't help but notice, but as he did with Rose, Naruto rejecting Hack's proposal.
"Oh no no no my beloved protégé, this one is on me. I'll handle it." Naruto said diabolically.
"As you wish sir. But what about her? What about the suicide squad? What about everything else she has done? And most importantly, shouldn't the fact that she is who she is be a matter of concern? I mean, what could she possibly want from you? " Hack asked warily.
"The suicide squad is of no consequence to me. 99 percent of them have earned their sentence. Even the ones that haven't are not worth the risk of rescue as they are probably one step away from earning their sentence anyway. As for what she wants with me, isn't it obvious? She is here to try and leverage me to become one of her government stooges." Naruto replied while at the same time competently holding and directing the Management Meeting, such was the sheer magnitude of his Godly brain capacity.
"You think this has something to do with Supergirl sir? I mean its obvious that you and her are…you know…" Zalika said, unable to finish her sentence as images of her boss and Supergirl doing the deed overloaded her brain.
"That obvious huh? Well, perhaps it is the reason Waller is here then. Now that you mention it, I think I'm going to need a favor from you…"
Two Hours Later:
"Hello Miss Waller. I was informed about your arrival but unfortunately I was in a very important business meeting at the time. I apologize for the inconvenience of making you wait for two hours." Naruto said with a complete lack of sincerity in his tone, a deep frown instantly morphing onto Waller's facial features as she tried to figure out how the hell this kid knew who the hell she was in the first place, much less that she was in his office the whole time, seeing as no one had come into the office since she teleported inside.
"How do you know who I am?" Amanda asked with a threatening undertone.
"We live in dangerous times Miss Waller, and information is the greatest resource one can have in order to successfully navigate these treacherous waters." Naruto retorted, not even making eye contact with his guest as he continued to type something on his computer, much to Waller's dismay and anger.
"I'm here to…actually, I think I would rather show you." Waller said as she unfolded the A2 chart that she was carrying on Naruto's table, a chart that contained images of Supergirl and images of a blank spot along with some other information that was related to the images.
"And this is…?"
"Supergirl travelling towards the direction of your penthouse every evening since her Catco interview, and an image of the blind spot that you have somehow created around the area of your penthouse. We also couldn't help but notice that this blind spot only appears at around the time that Supergirl travels in that direction but is otherwise non existent at all other times of the day." Waller said with a tone one would have when they were calling a check mate.
"Interesting, for garbage that is to say. I mean come on Miss Waller, this literally proves nothing. There is absolutely no proof that this so called blind spot is caused by me. By the looks of this chart, it covers a four mile radius. It could be caused by anyone in and around that area." Naruto retorted.
"Your penthouse is at the center of that radius. Common sense would suggest that you are indeed the cause of it, and it is because you want to hide your relationship with Kara Zor El." Waller argued.
"Okay, let us say it were true, it isn't, but let's say it was, so what? What does that have to do with you?" Naruto asked incredulously.
"We know Supergirl's cover identity, we've known from the moment she arrived on planet earth and was taken in by the Danvers family. In fact, her adopted father agreed to work for us and in exchange we would stay away from her. That deal was on the premise that Kara Danvers maintained a normal human life, but by taking up the mantle of Supergirl, she has essentially broken the terms of our agreement. However, we are willing to make a new deal, with you. We tend to be generous like that." Waller said arrogantly.
"Kara Danvers huh? Interesting. I assume this is about weapons technology, right?" Naruto asked rhetorically.
"That and anything that we want you to make or do for us." Waller deadpanned.
"I see. You are a clever woman, diabolical, possibly evil, but clever. Your plan might have worked too if there was anything going on between Supergirl and I. As things stand however, you are merely grasping at straws, non existent straws mind you. I have no connection to Supergirl and even if I did, there wouldn't be anything you can do or say to make me work for you." Naruto retorted, pulling something out from his suit jacket and throwing it at Waller as he finished speaking.
"Just in case you get any other future bright ideas, it might be worthwhile for you to remember that you aren't made of steel either." Naruto said darkly, Waller's eyes widening in surprise and fear when she saw what was on the card Naruto threw at her, that being a picture of Amanda, her three children, and her ex husband.
"Another reason I had to make you wait, I printed this on my way here." Naruto explained with a calm and carefree tone.
"How did you get this?" Waller asked frantically.
"Come now Waller, if the Government wants my technology and resources so badly, then obviously my technology and resources are far superior to the Government's. It's….what did you call it, common sense?" Naruto countered.
"You piece of shit!" Waller said as she pulled a gun on the youngest billionaire in the world.
"Not so fun when you are at the receiving end is it? You're a typical bully Miss Waller, and there is nothing I hate more than a bully. You have three seconds to put that pistol away otherwise I cannot be held responsible for my actions from here on out." Naruto said with a threatening undertone, Waller's arm shaking in fear and uncertainty as she realized that she had just walked into a lion's den without even realizing it.
"Three….two…" Naruto trailed off as, in the blink of an eye, he was able to kick his desk upward and before Waller could even react her gun had already been launched out of her hand when the desk smashed into it and she had already been pulled under the desk by her legs and smashed face first into the wall behind Naruto, the nerd proving to have far more physical strength and speed than Waller could have imagined, although in hindsight she should have known better given how athletic and physically intimidating he looked.
"You think being a government stooge gives you license to mess with people's lives? Huh, Waller?" Naruto asked with a deceptively calm tone as he picked Waller up from the floor with a chokehold, lifting her high up in the air with just one arm, Waller looking like a train had just run through her face as there was blood everywhere, spotting a broken nose and missing teeth as some of the teeth had been knocked clean out of her upon impact against the steel walls of Naruto's office.
"Y-you won't get a-away with t-this…!" Waller managed to squeeze out through the pain, the haziness, and the vice grip around her throat.
"I won't get away with this? You really are a sociopath aren't you? You really don't know that you are the wrong party here? The world doesn't need evil like you. I'll do the world a favor and get rid of you." Naruto said as a black nano suit formed under his business suit, covering his entire body, hands, face, and head, the eyes of the suit glowing a menacing red as Naruto subjected Waller to one of his death stares.
At the same time this was happening, the glass window in Naruto's office slid upwards so that he can walk onto the balcony, still carrying Waller with his right hand around her throat as he went to the edge of the balcony, and just as he expected, multiple rounds were fired at him as soon as he stepped onto the balcony, Waller's sniper goons posted all around Wave Consolidated and firing unceremoniously at the blonde Uzumaki, but to no avail as his protective armor did all the work for him and deflected all of the shots.
" Promethium Weave mesh suit. It's a little invention of mine, one that your government will never get its hands on." Naruto told Waller with a now distorted voice thanks to the voice modulator in his suit, Waller surprisingly still conscious despite the beating and the strangulation she suffered, although just barely.
Of course, Naruto didn't actually need the suit because bullets could bounce off of his skin just fine, but he couldn't afford for people to learn that little secret about him, not just yet, and if possible, not ever. Therefore, the promethium suit would have to do for now.
"Goodbye Amanda Waller. It was a displeasure to know you." Naruto said as he threw Waller off of the fifty story building, watching in anticipation as he wanted to see how exactly how Waller would get herself out this jam, and if not, then he at least wanted to watch her splatter on the pavement so that he could be sure that he was rid of her.
"What the hell are you doing? You could go to jail because of this!" Hack exclaimed incredulously, unable to believe the sheer recklessness with which her boss was acting right now.
"Oh please Zalika! This woman officially doesn't exist as far as the government wants people to know, nor does her government division. I can't go to jail for killing someone who doesn't exist now can I?" Naruto asked rhetorically.
However, before Hack could respond, the most peculiar thing happened as it appeared that a person teleported directly to Waller, wrapped their arms around her, and teleported away again with Amanda Waller, the two aforementioned people instantly appearing a few meters behind Naruto as he quickly turned around to face his enemies, having sensed the strong magic that was being used for the teleportation.
"So this was the source of your teleportation powers? What is she, a sorcerer?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Let us call her an essential resource for now." Waller replied, Naruto unable to help but to take note of the fact that all of Waller's injuries had already been healed by whatever this entity was as Naruto was able to tell that she wasn't human because he could sense the demonic power coming from her.
She had red hair and glowing emerald eyes. She was also wearing a short sleeved green form fitting body suit with long form fitting black boots that reach up to her lower thighs. She also had on a dark green hooded cloak and overall, despite her demonic aura and appearance, looked like one of the most beautiful women Naruto had ever seen in his life.
"An essential resource you say? Are you controlling her like you thought you could control me? What possible leverage could you have over her?" Naruto asked curiously, unable to believe that such a powerful entity could become enslaved to a mere government stooge like Waller.
"That is none of your concern. What should concern you is the attempted murder of a government official. So not only do I have Supergirl leverage over you, but I now also have attempted murder charges to hold over you. You're in a very bad spot Naruto Uzumaki. I'd suggest you start co-operating with me before things become even worse for you." Waller said confidently.
"I'll go to trial for attempted murder, I have no problem with that, so long as you understand that I have video evidence of you holding me at gun point and naturally, I also have audio and video of you threatening me and Supergirl if I do not become one of your stooges. If you want to go the legal route, we can go there, Waller." Naruto said confidently.
"I see now that you are a very stubborn and naïve young man Naruto. You're going to learn the very hard way that no one defies the Wall and gets away with it. Enchantress, cease him! Take him back to one of our special cells, now!" Waller ordered, Enchantress uncharacteristically hesitating as she exchanged looks between Naruto and Waller.
"What part of now did you not understand?" Waller asked angrily, Enchantress once again looking at Naruto and then at Waller again before nodding her head in the affirmative, teleporting behind Naruto while simultaneously manifesting magical Sai on her left hand and attempting to stab through Naruto's left shoulder, only, much to her surprise, to find herself unable to complete the maneuver as someone very strong grabbed her left hand with their right hand, pulled her, twisted her around, and threw her off the balcony, a move that was doomed to fail of course as Enchantress simply teleported back to Waller.
It was at that moment that about a dozen soldiers appeared out of nowhere, moving at such great speed that it left after images behind them, all of them dressed in black, all of them caucasian, and all of them big and strong men, carrying supremely crafted swords on their backs and guns on their right and left legs, four of the soldiers standing in defensive formation around the blonde Uzumaki and another seven standing in offensive formation around Enchantress and Waller.
"Parameter Sniper Unit, take them down, now!" Waller ordered, fear once again growing at the pit of her stomach when there was no gun fire in response to her command as she repeatedly pressed a button on her earpiece
"Parameter Unit! Respond! Now!" Waller ordered frantically.
"I wouldn't bother if I were you, they have already been taken care of. You're all alone now, Waller." Naruto said confidently.
"Alone? Hah! I still have the biggest card of them all! I don't know what these guard dogs of yours are, meta humans or aliens or whatever the hell they are, it doesn't matter. Enchantress! Destroy all of them, but don't kill the pompous little brat. We still need him alive." Waller ordered with a diabolical smirk, Enchantress doing as instructed as she instantly teleported behind one of the soldiers, manifested both of her magic Sais and attempted to decapitate him, only for the soldier to duck just at the right time, without even turning around to look and see where the attack was coming from or what kind of attack it was, simultaneously as that was happening another one moving so fast that once again he left after images behind him as he attempted to decapitate Enchantress at the waist, only for her to again evade at the last second as she once again teleported away.
Instead of going back to Waller's side, Enchantress appeared behind the one that tried to decapitate her, right on his blind spot, knowing that his partner could not help him as he was still bent at the waist and facing the other side, however, again, much to Enchantress's shock, this one too was able to perfectly evade the attack as if he saw it coming even though it came from his blind spot, and then proceeded to pull his gun out and shoot at Enchantress at point blank range not with bullets but with some weird energy blaster that Enchantress instinctively knew would hurt like hell, and so she teleported away again, this time however returning to Waller's side instead of trying to attack another of these dangerous people.
"I cannot defeat them easily, at the very least I cannot defeat them while protecting you as well. Their speed and reactions are out of this world. It's almost like they have eyes at the back of their heads. This mission of yours is a failure. I would suggest a strategic retreat." Enchantress said, Waller shocked by what she was hearing as the only time Enchantress ever spoke to her was when she was threatening her.
"W-what are they? Do you know?" Waller asked warily.
"Some kind of metahuman, but not like any I have encountered. I've tried to link with them telepathically, they seem to have a collective conscience, as if they are one person, perhaps that is why they are able to react to my attacks even when I attack the blind spot. If they share one mind, then the collective mind must see what all its parts can see so that only one of them needs to see my position and the other can react to it." Enchantress explained patiently.
"You seem awfully co-operative today." Waller asked suspiciously.
"Am I? I did not notice." Enchantress replied without a care in the world, a kind of nonchalance that Waller hadn't seen on Enchantress before, and it made her worry, the pit in her stomach growing wider and wider with each passing second.
"Rick? Answer me! Rick! What's the status? What's the black box status! Rick!" Waller exclaimed as she frantically tried to activate her communication device, wanting to know that status of the containment unit that housed the heart of the Enchantress.
"Did I mention that my suit has a frequency jammer too?" Naruto asked jovially, Waller's eyes widening as she realized the reason that she couldn't reach her team.
"What are you up to?" Waller asked suspiciously.
"Right now? Nothing. It's already done. They'll be here in three, two…one…" Naruto trailed off as two more people joined them on the large balcony, the two young men arriving via teleportation, one of them being Instant and the other being Brainwave, who also was dressed in a black military get up, had a facemask covering the lower half of his face and had red goggles around his eyes. He also had a black trench coat on and spotted blonde hair styled in a military buzz cut and was wearing black body armor over his outfit and under his trench coat.
"Brainwave, Instant, welcome back. Now why don't you return to the lady the heart that was stolen from her." Naruto ordered, Intant instantly teleporting in front of Enchantress and smacking the glowing black and green heart in his right hand against her chest, the heart immediately attaching itself to her and sinking deep into her chest, causing a power surge as the Enchantress finally got what she had spent the past year dreaming about, her freedom.
"How did you? What have you done!" Waller cried as she rapidly backed away from the Enchantress.
"You are a fool Miss Waller. Enchantress is a telepath you idiot. She and I have been communicating and sharing information from the moment the two of you appeared before me. She told me all about how you had her heart in your possession and how you were using it to control her. She told me how you would have Rick Flag blow up or stab the heart if she disobeyed you." Naruto explained, Waller's eyes widening in surprise as realization dawned on her.
"My man here Brainwave is also a telepath, so I was able to share with them the information Enchantress gave me and, well, I'm sure you can figure the rest out." Naruto said condescendingly, Waller's eyes dilating in surprise as she finally realized why Enchantress had been acting strangely, and why she had seemed to hesitate when she was ordered to capture Naruto.
"You fool! You have no idea what you have unleashed! There's nothing stopping her now! She'll destroy the world!" Waller exclaimed frantically.
"No she won't. She doesn't want to destroy the world you imbecile. She wants something that is beyond your comprehension. Enchantress is my ally now, so if you didn't fear me before, you should fear me now. Be grateful that I won't put you out of your misery just yet Miss Waller. For I have a message I want you to deliver to the US Government and anyone who would dare come after me again. Enchantress, if you could be a dear and do the honors for me." Naruto ordered.
"It would be my pleasure, beloved liberator." Enchantress said as she walked slowly and deliberately towards Waller, eyes glowing bright green as Waller fell down and started screaming uncontrollably, as if caught in some God awful nightmare, which technically was exactly what was happening, Enchantress using her telepathy to trap Waller in a nightmare of her worst fears and the worst horrors imaginable.
'Good thing I activated the sound barriers and cloaking seals around this place otherwise I shudder to think what people would think of me if they saw and heard everything that transpired here today.' Naruto thought.
Later that Day: Undisclosed Location
"Gentlemen we have a terrible situation on our hands. Amanda Waller has not only failed to recruit Naruto Uzumaki, but she has also lost control of both the Enchantress and her own mind. What makes matters worse is that we have no idea of how exactly these events transpired. Rick Flag and Waller were the only survivors of the ordeal. Rick had his memories of the events wiped clean and Waller is now certifiably insane, she won't be of much help." General Lane explained to his compatriots.
"…"
"I suppose the first question to ask is if there is any hope for Waller to fully regain her sanity?" Colonel Steve Trevor asked with concern.
"If it were any other person, no. But this is Amanda Waller. That woman is the devil in human form. She'll be back to normal within a month tops. The problem is that we will be blind to Naruto Uzumaki and Enchantress's plans for a whole month. That isn't a very favorable situation, especially in light of the fact that Enchantress has fiddled with Waller's mind. We have to assume that she, and Naruto, if they are indeed working together, know everything that Waller knew….everything, including us." General Lane said gravely.
"So you're saying that planetary security is compromised? We have to reboot everything and everyone and start from scratch? That could take forever!" General Wade Eiling exclaimed.
"It doesn't seem like we have much of a choice." General Swanwick said contemplatively.
"Perhaps. However, I believe you have an important role to play here General Swanwick. You must tell Supergirl what happened to Waller. If Uzumaki and Enchantress are in league with each other, then we absolutely cannot afford to have Supergirl be in league with them. The three of them together will be too powerful." Percy Odell said.
"What are you asking of General Swanwick exactly, Agent Odell?" General Lane asked curiously.
"Nothing much, only that he be honest with Supergirl, that's all." Odell replied cryptically, everybody, including General Swanwick, looking at Odell like he had grown a second head on his shoulders.
"Gentlemen. We need to confirm if Supergirl is in league with Naruto Uzumaki and/or Enchantress. If she isn't, then we need to use her as a spy to gain information on Naruto and Enchantress." Odell elaborated.
"I see. That is indeed a most excellent idea Agent Odell. General Swanwick, you will tell Supergirl everything you know about Naruto Uzumaki and what happened here today, and in doing so you must discern by her reaction whether she is in league with Naruto or not. Supergirl has only been dating Naruto Uzumaki for two months as far as we are aware. That isn't long enough for us not to be able to turn her against him." General Lane instructed.
"I'm not sure I am comfortable with that, General. Supergirl is a genuinely good person with Earth and its people's interest at her sincere heart. To use her like this…?"
"Will you grow a set of balls already, Swanwick!" General Eiling spat with disgust, cutting Swanwick off before he could finish speaking.
"She's an alien, a very dangerous one. We only allow her to live because she has the potential to be useful to us. If you fail to use her, then she is to be terminated. Do you understand that, General Swanwick?" General Eiling said gravely.
"….."
"What General Eiling is trying to say, General Swanwick, is that if you care about Supergirl as much as you profess to, then you will do this. Think of it as saving her life." General Lane said a little more diplomatically, just a little.
"And what happens if Supergirl is in league with Naruto and/or the Enchantress? What then?" Swanwick asked warily.
"Then you dispose of her. The DEO has more than enough a supply of Krytonite to take her down, not to mention the Red Sun UV Ray weapons technology that Lex Luthor has supplied for the division." General Lane said in a tone that made it clear to General Swanwick that he had no choice in the matter.
"I do not think you comprehend what you are asking of me. If Supergirl mysteriously disappears, Superman will get involved, and if Superman gets involved, then the Justice League will inevitably also get involved. Essentially, you are asking the DEO to go up against all of Earth's mightiest heroes." General Swanwick tried to be the voice of reason.
"Why someone so lacking in imagination and creativity is in charge of the DEO is beyond my comprehension. General Swanwick, use Amanda Waller's resources, and before you ask, yes, I mean the Suicide Squad. Arm them with kryptonite weapons and red sun uv ray weapons and point them directly at Supergirl. If they get captured by Superman or the Justice League, blow them up." Odell said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Very well. It appears as though I have no choice in the matter. I just hope this doesn't blow up in all our faces like the last time we went after Naruto Uzumaki." General Swanwick said gravely, not pleased at all by Agent Odell's plans but nevertheless conforming if only for the chance to try and make sure that no unnecessary bloodshed comes from this.
