The time goes back a few hours.
After talking to Pat in her bedroom, Courtney reflected on her actions.
She realized it was wrong to put her friends in danger.
So she tried talking to a few of her teammates, asking them to hand over their equipment.
But, unsurprisingly, they all refused.
The high school students, who had gained a new life, were not going to miss the chance to play different roles.
Hourman, who had a magical hourglass, which gave him superpowers for one hour, including super strength, endurance, speed, and attack resistance.
Rick Tyler is now using the Hourman name, as the angriest high schooler in Blue Valley, he became the second Hourman after inheriting the hourglass from his father.
Wildcat is the class president in Courtney's class, who gains agility and superhuman strength when wearing the suit.
As for Doctor Midnight, she is a black high school girl with no combat abilities, relying solely on the goggles inherited from the previous Doctor Midnight—a pair of AI-enhanced goggles that can search, identify, hack, and monitor data.
After confirming that Eric was the one who stole the staff, the group drove to Smallville, with Hourman at the wheel, to investigate Eric.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the farm, they encountered the current situation.
Seeing Courtney grabbed by the neck, Wildcat immediately reached out to grab Kara's arm.
But with her super speed, Kara easily dodged Wildcat's attack.
Although Wildcat's attack missed, Courtney was saved, leaning back and preventing Kara from grabbing her.
"Wildcat, drive the car, didn't you say you got your driver's license?"
Courtney shouted urgently to the class president sitting in the front seat.
"My license is still in the DMV fee-paying stage!"
"I'll guide you!" Doctor Midnight said to Wildcat.
Her goggles could retrieve a lot of information, including how to drive a car, so she started guiding Wildcat.
"First, buckle your seatbelt, turn the key to 'On', and if you feel hot, you can turn on the air conditioner."
"I don't think turning on the air conditioner is a good idea right now! Aren't your goggles AI? Why are they acting like a dumb assistant?"
Wildcat, flustered and clueless, complained wildly, finally starting the car at the last moment.
With a roar, Wildcat slammed on the gas, and the car shot forward.
Kara, standing outside, did not stop their escape, just watched the car with a cold smile.
"Wait!"
Sitting in the back, Courtney suddenly realized she had forgotten something very important.
Hourman was still outside!
"Stop, we have to save Hourman."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kara instantly appeared in front of the vehicle.
Before Wildcat could brake, the car crashed into Kara.
Boom!
The car deformed on impact and was pushed back by a great force.
Kara, with her hands on the car's hood, absorbed all the energy from the impact.
Boom, she pinned the car down.
Everyone inside was shaken, dizzy, and disoriented.
"Ha!"
Hourman, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly roared and charged at Kara.
Wearing a yellow cloak, with a hood and mask covering most of his face, Hourman possessed super speed, and in a breath, he was beside Kara, throwing a punch.
Kara didn't dodge the attack, her eyes emitting a red beam, piercing through his chest instantly.
In the shocked and stunned gazes of Courtney and the others, Hourman fell heavily to the ground.
"Rick!"
Inside the car, shaken and bleeding from the ears, Courtney screamed in pain seeing Hourman fall.
"Oh, my God!"
Standing in the farm, Martha covered her mouth upon seeing Kara use her heat vision to pierce the opponent's chest.
"She killed him!"
"I know, and it looks like those in the car are just kids."
Jonathan frowned, telling the equally shocked Clark, "Clark, you need to stop her, don't let her kill anyone!"
"Ugh!"
Wildcat in the car spat blood, seeing Doctor Midnight hit her head against the car door, bleeding heavily.
As she was about to cover Doctor Midnight's wound, Kara lifted the car into the air.
Filled with fear, Wildcat grabbed the deformed window, looking back at Courtney.
However, without the staff, Courtney was just an ordinary person.
Grabbing the car and enduring the intense pain, Courtney gave Wildcat an apologetic look.
After lifting the car, Kara threw it toward the barn.
"No!"
Clark shouted at Kara, trying to stop her.
But as soon as he spoke, the car flew into the sky and fell towards the barn's roof.
The barn hid the spaceship!
If the car crashed down, not only would it harm people, but even the spaceship might get damaged.
Even though Clark wanted to save them, without the ability to fly, he could only watch helplessly.
To his surprise, the car didn't hit the barn but hovered in the air.
Eric stood in the air, under the car, holding it up with one hand.
The three girls inside the car, thinking they were doomed, were surprised by the sudden rescuer.
Seeing Eric like a god holding the car in the air, they felt a sense of relief.
Eric, wanting to protect the barn, held up the car.
Unexpectedly, he also saved the troublemakers inside.
Slowly lowering the car from the barn roof, Eric dropped it to the ground from three or four meters up.
Just when Courtney, Wildcat, and Doctor Midnight thought they were saved, Eric, not playing by the rules, let the car crash to the ground with a thud, causing them more pain.
Feeling the pain spreading all over, they couldn't help but cry out, their injuries worsening!
Courtney even felt her soul was being tormented.
"What are you doing?"
Clark rushed to Kara, angrily questioning her.
"These people are up to no good. I think eliminating them poses no problem."
Kara said expressionlessly.
"So you plan to kill them?"
"Yes, Kal-El, pity is the hardest thing for humans to endure, especially when they deserve it. But pity can kill, making a weak body weaker."
She reached out to Clark, "Come with me, I need to take you somewhere."
"I'm not going anywhere with you!"
Clark angrily pulled his hand away from hers.
But as if hit by an irresistible force, his entire strength seemed to be locked, and he was pulled into the sky with her.
"Eric!"
Seeing Clark controlled by the Kryptonian woman, Jonathan shouted to Eric.
The next moment, Eric shot into the sky like a missile, hitting Kara's abdomen.
Boom, like being struck by a missile, Kara flew out like a baseball.
Clark lost control, falling and crashing to the ground with a thud.
Fortunately, his steel body wasn't harmed by the impact.
Eric didn't pursue, just watched coldly as Kara, covered in dust, struggled up.
"Sorry, though I don't care where Clark is going, I despise those who act like gods! Whether it's you or Jor-El (Superman's biological father)!"
Before Supergirl could stand, Eric moved swiftly to her, punching her in the face.
The air exploded, Kara groaned, flying backward and crashing to the ground!
Dust rose, the ground cracked like a spider web under her powerful impact.
"Whoosh!"
Eric, in super speed, grabbed her, lifting her up.
"This is my planet, not Krypton! So lose that attitude!"
Punching her face, he sent her flying back.
The air seemed to compress and then explode, Eric's punch causing an airburst.
He was tired of everything.
Whether it was the self-proclaimed "Supergirl" intruder or Jor-El behind the scenes.
In the nearly wrecked car, Wildcat and Courtney, suffering severe concussions and multiple fractures, watched the exaggerated battle in shock.
Doctor Midnight was badly hurt but barely conscious.
"Stargirl, Wildcat, you won't believe it. My goggles just calculated Eric Kent's speed and strength. Do you know how it described him?"
"What?"
"An unknown being, with no similarity to any known Earth creature, and no superhero is like him. Initial estimation is an alien."
Though barely able to speak, her tag was "talkative," and as long as she had breath, she could keep talking.
Even seriously injured, she kept talking to them.
Martha, on the other side, clasped her hands together, worried for Eric.
She knew Kara claimed to be Clark's sister, meaning Eric was her brother too.
Could the brother defeat the sister?
