(Open) Thinking Ahead

[spiral]

While the fight was going on another had appeared and stood by to watch the fight until the end when she finally decided to make herself known. “Wow, best thing I’ve seen in years. Bravo!” she clapped. “Who would have thought hero would kill with out questioning them first? I surely didn’t until now. I guess your not that pure after all huh?” Spiral made her way over to Laur-El’s body and nudged it with her foot not at all worried about Power Girl attacking her she had installed a kill switch and can use it if the blonde tried anything.

“I always knew you would be my favorite little pet Power Girl.” It was hard telling if Spiral was trying to make the blonde more angry then what she already was or not. That’s when she noticed Divine was there among them “Oh my and your clone is here to are you going to kill her too? Poking around inside your head I’ve learned a lot and you don’t like Divine to much do you?” she placed a hand on her hip “One Kryptonian down one to go then you can kill the martian and all these annoying little human’s wouldn’t that be fun?”

[divine]

Divine finally decided to move but was to late to be of any help now she was bothered Karen had just killed a Kryptonian not one of this world but another from what she gathered. She moved over to Laur-El and felt for a pulse but already knew the answer “You killed her.” she looked up at her blonde counterpart. “Are you happy now? Are you going to kill me next?” she stood up facing Karen waiting to see what would happen next glaring at the blonde her fists clinched.

But a fight didn’t come someone else did a six armed woman who some how knew about her and Karen. She turned her glare on the woman she didn’t know what Spiral had done to Karen nor did she know the blonde had died or almost died she just knew the woman had taken joy in watching what Karen had done. “She can try but I wont make it as easy as this one did.” she frowned before turning back to look at Karen “Go ahead killer, know this if I die I'm not going alone we both can burn in hell.”

Powergirl hadn't miscalculated, she wanted to kill Superwoman. In her rage, she wanted it. Clearly the machine precisions combined with the maddening hate had been to much for Superwoman. When the final blow struck, Powergirl floated backwards. She could hear superwoman's heart stop beating and some where deep down in her heart, some realization connected. This woman was from another dimension, same as power girl herself was. By all rights, she was superman and Karen had just killed superman. The logic doesn't make that much sense but when you're insane it never really does.

"I didn't mean....I...I...

It's the only response to Divine she can muster. To any one, to herself. The guilt wells up inside her, she doesn't say anything more, tears just start to fall from her eyes, they trickle wildly down her cheeks, when she hears Spiral enter the room, all that guilt turns to rage again. It's clear PG isn't herself. She is very sick. Once upon a time, she kicked the entire Justice League Europe's team while under mind control of Max Lord. This is a different kind of mind control though, It's madness. More of a storm than a bullet, this.

"This is YOUR fault, You MADE me this way. You should have just LEFT ME DEAD!"

Hearing Spiral taunt her like that was even worse. To think Spiral had done it on purpose drove her madness even deeper. She was enraged at Superwoman, but this level of hate and anger, there just aren't words to describe it. Instinctually Power girl scans Spiral when she looks at her and finds something particular. A remote device with a tuned frequency set to her own circuits. This must be the kill switch she found in side herself when she was performing extensive self analysis of systems to find out exactly what spiral had done to her. The deep systems scan had not revealed much, gaps between logic and emotion, the primary cause of her madness, but not a cause. And a black area, something she couldn't scan or analyze internally, she had needed to use external systems to look at it.

"I might be no better than a machine because of you spiral, but you will -not- be turning me off today."

Powergirl's eyes light up with brilliant blue light and she zaps the remote from inside Spiral's pocket. The blue laser light also cuts through Spiral's leg and part of the floor. The sound of her voice is depraved, it's down right villainous. As if she plans to not only kill Spiral but torture her as well.

Moving at super speed she tackles Spiral to the ground. She drops the Doomsday shanks she ripped from dead doomsday clones earlier as she tackles spiral, she doesn't need them to kill this bitch. She makes sure she hits spiral hard enough to disorient her to keep her off balance so she can't counter with any kind of magic or weapon. Of course Spiral still might. Her lips start to drip with acid, tiny droplets that fall to Spiral's skin, burning any where they touch through. Some on Spiral's breasts, her upper chest, her neck, mostly her face as Powergirl leans in close.

"...die"

At which point, She breaths a swath of thick acid all over Spiral's face and head. A small flood of the stuff comes rocketing out of her mouth as she opens wide and hurls it up onto Spiral. The highly caustic acid burns flesh, bone and metal. Just the sound of Powergirl spewing it out is disgusting, but the smell of acid charred flesh is even worse. If that wasn't enough Powergirl starts ripping Spiral's arms off and kneeing her in the thighs, pulverizing her. She goes berzerk. To the point, that if this keeps up for more than a few seconds, there simply wont be anything left of Spiral, let along the place where Powergirl had pinned her to the ground.

“Laur-El? Laur-El!?” he asked her, trying to bring to her back to life….but it was too late…she was gone. J’onn sighed and closed his eyes, putting his hands on her heads in frustration. How could this happen so fast? What was going on in the minds of these woman? J’onn looked up at Divine and Power Girl talking, not liking the tone of the conversation. He motioned the officers and other staff to come down and take Laur-El. J’onn walked up to both woman and before he could say something, he can see regret and sorrow in PG’s eyes. There was something about Karen that wasn’t right, J’onn could remember how sweet and funny Karen was, always bringing light away from the darkness. As J’onn was about to say something, another woman arrived and this time J’onn could sense evil in her pure heart.

Using his mind J’onn was going to send out a message to the rest of the Justice League to help but suddenly Karen was on the attack again, ripping apart whoever this new enemy was. With what happened to Laur-El, J’onn couldn’t stand by and see someone get killed again, whether it was good or bad. Using his speed flight, J’onn held and restrain Karen with all of his might. “Karen!Stop!!!” he told her as he knew Karen would do her best to fight it. “Karen please stop! No one else needs to die because of this!” he said to her. “I know you’re in pain right now and you are hurting but enough is enough, please stop this Karen!” he commanded of her. He knows that if Superman was here, the man of steel would be so disappointed in his family of fighting. J’onn even felt that he let Superman down as well.

Divine looked over at the six armed woman she seemed to have known her but before she could question her about it Power Girl or something that looked like her was on top of the woman killing her. “You…you just killed her in cold blood.” she trailed off looking at Laur-El then at the other woman that had just died before looking at the blonde “Your no better then those monsters that wander the earth killing everything.” she frowned and glared at the blonde before moving from where she was.

Using her super speed she grabbed one of the Doomsday bone spikes that Karen had brought and used on Laur-El to kill her. After picking it up she went to ram it into the blondes right shoulder “You had no right to kill those people. Whatever you are your not Karen Starr you might look and sound like her but your not her. Your just a failed clone.” she narrowed her eyes after she said that what if this woman was another clone made by Maxwell? Skipped changing the hair and opted for adding in new powers. Doctor Sivana probably did it for him like he had done in creating Divine or someone else all together.

J'onn Jonzz intentions were good, but by the time he came to restrain PG, she'd already destroyed Spiral. Though J'onn's actions did stop the justice league satellite from shaking with the blows of PG's fists. J'onn is strong, but not stronger than PG, how ever, he is able to distract PG enough to open her up for Divine's attack. PG's eyes go wide.

Powergirl's entire body goes rigid for half a second when the spike is burried in her shoulder, she grunts in pain, it hurts bad, but there's so much more going on in her mind right then, pain is just to far down the list to react to. It's Divine's words that give her pause, the pain was the interjection, but the words were the real problem. Because they were a spoken truth, PG had gone mad, and she really had just murdered two people in cold blood because of the madness.

She stops struggling and begins to cry hysterically. If J'onn lets her go, she'll slump into the floor on her knees, bent over, the pain of having something impaled through her shoulder is intense, but the capacity of her will is running so wild, so fast, it's over riding that, the sheer adrenalin of it all is just to intense.

"I'm so sorry. She did this on purpose, I'm not myself. I need help, god why god....Sakkara!? SAKARRA!"

PG's definitely having a break down of some kind at this particular moment, she's shaking, bleeding, but the blood isn't red, it's blue. It's actually a mixture, there are trace amounts of normal red blood, but most of the stuff leaking out of her is this neon blue substance since the arm divine stabbed is the one that's completely synthetic. A bunch of PG is synthetic, around 45% of her, but that particular arm had been completely destroyed in her last real fight with the clones so it had to be replaced, and the tech that did so was so marvelous it was nearly science fiction. Spiral might've been an evil bitch, but she was a genious.

As for PG? She's completely unconsolable, she's regressed as far as she can into a gibber mass of tears and sadness, she's shouting for sakkara because the emotional pain is so great she clearly can not take it alone.

Sakkara had let Karen go off on her own but at the same time not she had created a link between the two of them so if for some reason Karen needed her she would know it. She got back into the pool and on her chair floating around again this time she had fallen asleep and forgot about the link until a few minutes ago when she felt Karen yelling for her it made her jump and she was back into the pool again. She came back up floating there in the water for a moment wondering if that was a dream or did Karen really need her? It was real she realized after feeling it again. She shifted into her god from and teleported up to the satellite.

She never teleported that far before the trip took it out of her but she ignored it her body will recover before long. Sakkara appeared next to Karen and J’onn “Karen!” she took her wife from J’onn “It’s alright Karen I’m here now.” She held her wife wondering what had happened to have caused this. She knew Karen wasn’t right in the head anymore so something or maybe someone set her off. Sakkara looked around the room to see what might have caused this she spotted Divine, J’onn and guards. “What caused her to do this?” she demanded giving the guards such a look it made them back down and move away from them.

She looked down at Karen and went about removing the bone spike and tried to heal the wound she wasn’t sure if she could this was her synthetic arm after all but she would try she had to. She didn’t want Karen bleeding to death or leaking to death she knew some of it was blood but not all of it she couldn’t control what wasn’t blood. Something told her Karen needed the blue stuff just as much as the red.

Divine’s words really wasn’t helping anyone or anything at the moment. J’onn looked at Divine and said, “Please, what you’re saying maybe true but it’s not doing any good now so please….just stop”, he pleaded to Divine before letting Karen go. He can see the guilt in her eyes and knew that she didn’t mean to cause any harm. J’onn knew Karen back then and was so full of life, he never met anyone who was just so happy but chatty at the same time. It gave the martian man hunter hope that one day there can be better people in the world and Karen was one of them, but this wasn’t Karen. From what he just saw, J’onn still sensed that Karen wasn’t normal but was there more to this?

J’onn put his hand on her shoulder and was about to say something but then out of no where, Purgatori appeared out of nowhere and his men raised there plasma guns. “No!….Stand down!” he ordered and they did what’s told before Karen’s wife demanded answers. “Shakara….a female hero who hand the same attire…and clothing as Superman came on here. I was going to give her a tour of the place before Karen flew in here and started to attack. Then suddenly someone else came aboard the watchtower and Karen killed her as well” J’onn explained. “We can take Karen to the med room where our best doctors and nurses can take care of her” he suggested. “If not I do understand…..” he said, hoping there was more he can do.

((I'd like to move to wind this thread down via downtime discussion. Sakkara's magic is able to partially heal the wound on powergirl but not fully, leading her to suggest she fix her arm within spiral's lab at a later date after she's calmed down and powergirl will beg sakkara to take her home to egypt.

The final thread for the mini-series Madness of Powergirl is here worldsendmaeveldc.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=justiceleaguesatellite&thread=323 ))
