Hello everyone, here is Chapter 22 of the Crimson Speedster. It's time for the multiversal jaunt to continue. Earth-38 continues on as Naruto helps deal with Kara's bizarro-twin. Enjoy!

Happy New Year Everyone!

My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and I'm one of the fastest men alive. To the outside world, I'm CEO of STAR labs and an ordinary scientist but that's not the truth. Secretly with my powers I kept Central City safe and stopped rogue metahumans. I helped stop the Reverse-Flash but in the process, I was thrown into an alternate world where I explored the multiverse and faced a whole new kind of evil. With the help of new allies, I found my way back home and gained a greater understanding of my powers. Central City and the world will stay safe so long as I have anything to say about it. My name is Impulse, and this is my story.

A quick jaunt through the Multiverse – Part 2

Earth-38 January 2016

Suffice to say that things on the visit to Earth-38 were getting complicated fast. They were actually starting off very nicely. Naruto and Team Flash arrived on Earth-38, they stopped a White Martian at an Anti-Alien rally and sent it to a dead earth in the multiverse, introductions were made to Kara and her group of friends/acquaintances, and they helped Kara's cousin Clark deal with some of his villains. All in all, good time. Unfortunately, the good times were ruined when a news report about Supergirl going rogue made the evening news. Only problem with that? Naruto and Kara were at an ice cream shop so it couldn't be Supergirl.

She had an impostor.

DEO Desert Headquarters

Director Henshaw, Alex, Kara, Naruto, Linda, Barry, and the rest of Team Flash watched the news up on the big monitor and the breaking news story was still Supergirl going rogue. The only people who knew that wasn't true were Kara herself, the DEO and Team Flash and the other people who knew her personally.

"Not exactly one for your greatest hits reel." Henshaw told Kara.

"I sent a team to scan the area. No signs of extraterrestrial activity, so we can probably rule out an alien shapeshifter. Unless there's something you're not telling us?" Alex asked Henshaw and he shrugged in response.

"The skirt was surprisingly comfortable, but no." He replied earning looks of confusion from Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Ronnie, and Linda.

"Wait, what? Are we out of the loop on something?" Cisco wondered.

"You are and we'll talk about it later." Naruto told him before he checked his watch to bring up the scans the DEO took at the scene. "Well, the scans aren't exactly conclusive but considering what we saw it could be either a highly advanced robot or a clone."

"I don't think it could be a clone. Even if an enemy had harvested your DNA when you came out as Supergirl, the embryo would still be in gestation." Alex told her.

"What about Maxwell Lord?" Kara suggested.

"Could he have done something to the young woman you saw when you broke into his lab?" Alex wondered but Henshaw shook his head.

"She was comatose, her cerebral cortex function was almost nonexistent. Bringing her back to even partial consciousness would be like raising the dead." Henshaw answered but Kara wasn't so easily convinced.

"Are you sure?"

"Maxwell Lord does have a God complex but he's not an actual god." Henshaw told her.

"Yeah, but it's the guys with the massive egos you've got to keep an eye out for. Lex Luthor." Naruto pointed out and Henshaw had to concede that. Kara was about to ask him how he knew about Lex Luthor so he spoke up. "I've read a bunch of the articles about him as well all the interviews and testimony from his trial. Grade-A Narcissist and he developed technology that could fight Superman so it shows that his determination drove him to do things other people thought impossible. If Maxwell Lord is anywhere near on that level then he could do something."

"What do you think?" Henshaw asked so Naruto thought it over.

Alex, Henshaw, and Kara watched as Naruto went deep into his thought process while Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Ronnie, and Linda sat back. "Wait for it. You're about to see Naruto's super genius in action." Linda told them.

"He's done this before?" Alex asked.

"Oh, yeah. When Naruto's super genius brain mixes with the natural speedster brain's hyperactivity, he zones in and thinks over millions of factors, equations, loopholes, and permutations of the situation to give him another million different possibilities to any one problem." Barry replied.

"Naruto's brain is basically the strongest super computer on the planet." Cisco praised.

"Thanks for the compliment. Director Henshaw, do you mind if I use your computer?" Naruto asked.

"Well, considering how you've been upgrading them for free, sure." He replied so Naruto walked over to a terminal and politely asked an agent to let him take over. They nodded and Naruto sat down before plugging his phone into the console and began typing and coding at super speed.

"What are you doing?" Kara wondered.

"Gathering information and research. Second step of the scientific method." Naruto answered as millions of digital data flashed on the screen simultaneously and he was able to read and analyze everything. "Our question is where did the clone Supergirl come from so I need all the possible information there is to corroborate my hypothesis that this is all Maxwell Lord."

"You sound very sure about that." Henshaw pointed out.

"I think we can all agree that Lord is the most likely suspect behind Kara's doppelganger. The only thing that remains is to figure out exactly how this was done and to get proof. To solve a problem and find the right silver bullet to nail Lord means we've got to get all the information possible. I'm compiling everything the DEO has on Lord along with all your past encounters with him and then I'm going to do some digging into Lord Technologies servers. If Lord is behind this as I believe him to be then someone as meticulous as him will have a digital trail I can find." Naruto explained.

"Good luck with that. Lord Technologies servers are the most encrypted and well-protected on the planet next to Luthorcorp. Hackers have tried for years to get into their firewalls and nothing." Alex told him.

"Really?" Naruto smirked before he cracked his knuckles and typed away. "Gideon, how are we looking?"

A progress bar showed up on screen and it quickly went from zero to one hundred in a few seconds. "My digital infiltration into Lord Technologies servers is now underway. My digital presence is hidden to Lord Technologies digital firewalls and I'm currently copying and downloading terabytes of data."

"Oh, score one for Earth-One." Cisco put his fist out and Barry fist-bumped him. "Boom."

"Your tech is good on this earth but Gideon and I are just better. She's downloading everything from Lord Tech's servers and she's also looking into the highly encrypted files as well. Even if everything we need is on a secure server, if it's digital then Gideon can find it. It'll just take some time, Kara. We'll keep doing what we can while you head to Catco. I'll let you know what I have in a few hours." Naruto promised.

"Thanks, Naruto." Kara gave them an appreciate smile before she headed to the exit. As she headed there Linda rushed over to her side so the two could talk. "Hey."

"Hey. So, you sure you're ok?" Linda wondered.

"I'm fine. While I would like to not have to deal with an evil doppelganger flying around and putting people in danger I've dealt with worse. And Naruto is on the case. He helped me a lot the last time he was here and he's only gotten smarter since so I'm hoping he'll have this whole thing figured out by lunch." Kara was all positivity. Normally she'd be a little more worried but with Naruto and the rest of Team Flash here to help then she wasn't as worried as she normally would be.

"That's good but I'm more talking about your personal life. Before you, Naruto, and Barry left to go help Superman you were kind of freaking out regarding how things would be going for Kara Danvers. You know your well-intentioned but ill thought idea to meddle with Cat Grant's personal life bringing her long lost son back to her and now you two have a date tonight? Ringing any bells?" Linda reminded her and Kara's smile began to fade.

"They are and it's kind of why I'm terrified to go into work today but it'll be all hands-on deck. I can't call in a sick day and I'd honestly love to have you and the others there as a buffer but I think once was enough for Ms. Grant." Kara admitted.

"Wow, you're really painting your boss in such a positive light." Linda said, dripping with sarcasm and Kara chuckled in amusement. "Well, just remember what I told you before to just relax and go on the date first. There's no use panicking when nothing has even happened yet. Worrying yourself over nothing won't help you at all. Naruto will figure out what's going on with your doppelganger so that's one problem you don't have to worry about which means you just have to keep up the Kara charade at work and you're golden."

"Ugh, you make it sound so easy when you say it like that." Kara walked over and leaned against the wall, dreading what was to come. It was kind of hard to tell which had her more nervous: Her doppelganger or the date. "Honestly, I'm not sure how to handle this? Sure, I've been on dates but not with people tied so close to my job and it's Ms. Grant's son. If things don't go well then she will literally make my life a living nightmare."

"Kara!" Linda shouted, jerking Kara from spiraling down any further than she already was. Linda walked over and grabbed Kara by the shoulders. "Look at me. Take a deep breath…and exhale." Kara did as Linda said and took a deep breath. "Ok, good. Now, you two aren't in a relationship yet so there's no reason to think that anything will happen. It's literally just you two getting to know each other. Hell, if you want you can go out to dinner with Naruto and I wouldn't care."

"What? Linda, I wouldn't…I mean I would never…I mean, you and Naruto…" Kara was just stammering for a response and fighting the building blush on her face.

"Are rock solid strong because we communicate and are in a relationship. You and Adam aren't. Heck, this whole date thing was his idea after you fixed his relationship with his mother so in the end he might find it weird. Or you two could find out you have nothing in common and don't mesh beyond acquaintances or friends. And I'm going to go with that being his problem but you're wonderful, Kara." Linda praised and Kara smiled.

"Oh, thanks."

"Now…" Linda stood Kara up onto her feet and fixed her up a bit. "…you will go to work, you will go on this date with Adam and see if it goes anywhere past a dinner. Just be Kara Danvers and let it go from there. Relationships are half chemistry and half timing. So, maybe it will work out or maybe it won't but just go and see what happens. Ok?"

Kara took a deep breath and nodded. "Ok."

"Good." Linda smiled before pulling Kara in for a hug. "You'll be fine."

"Thanks, Linda. You're a good friend and I've been absent a good girl friend that isn't my sister." Kara admitted.

"Well, you've got me and Caitlin and I'll introduce you to Iris another day. Now, go be Kara Danvers." Linda pushed Kara to the exit, making her chuckle in amusement. Kara walked away feeling better than she did before. It was clear to her now why she and Naruto made such a good couple. When two good people find each other it just clicks.

Linda watched Kara walk away, happy that she was able to help. Guess being around Naruto all this time has helped her pick up a few things from him, namely his ability to help people whether it was superpower-related or just a good conversation is up for debate. Though as Kara walked away Linda did notice something.

'Ohh…Kara's legs do look great in the tights and skirt…' Linda tilted her head slightly to get a better view as her cape fluttered behind her before walking back to the others.

With Kara heading to work and Director Henshaw and Alex busy with their responsibilities at the DEO, it was left to Naruto and Team Flash to handle the case of Kara's doppelganger. Director Henshaw and the DEO would get involved once there was more evidence and information because at the moment they were dealing with a bunch of unanswered questions which is why they were having Naruto and the others handle gathering all the information they could on the doppelganger. Basically, Director Henshaw was outsourcing the grunt work of data collection and information handling part of the job to Team Flash. Something they were fine with since this is what they do on a daily basis at STAR labs on Earth-1. Alex even set them up in a small office so they could work without bothering the DEO agents.

The office had a large computer setup with rows of monitors connected to the DEO database and with Gideon connected Team Flash was able to run all the tests they would need. They managed to get a whiteboard and Barry was setting it up like a murder board like he was back at CCPD. It was to help them visualize their problem and lay out the facts so everyone could see. It was old school but it worked. Gideon was still compiling all the files from Lord Technologies and anything of interest she found she expanded the search. Naruto began jotting things down on the whiteboard that they managed to figure out or already knew. Basic things like the who's and the what's but they were missing on the how's. The who's being Supergirl's clone doppelganger and Maxwell Lord, the what's being potential motive and ultimate goal so now they needed the how's as in how they managed to do all this.

"Ok, so here is what we know so far…" Barry held a ruler like he was teaching a class and pointed to the still picture they got from the news of Supergirl's Doppelganger. "Last night, someone dressed up as Supergirl appeared and caused some havoc. Cars were thrown, people were hurt, and all of it was caught on camera."

"Facial recognition matches are a 100% match between the doppelganger and Kara and given they were wearing the same suit it is definitely someone trying to pose as her." Linda added, getting into her investigative journalism mode. "She hovered there in the air in front of news cameras so she wanted to be seen by the public and thanks to Alex and the DEO we know it's not an alien shapeshifter which leaves us with either a highly advanced robot or a regular clone."

"Right. Highly advanced robot…" Cisco looked down at the DEO tablet having just finished reading the report on the DEO's incident with Red Tornado, a highly advanced android with aerokinetic abilities created by deceased scientist T.O. Morrow by the US military to kill rogue Kryptonians. Despite the fact that the android was made by the Military Industrial Complex, Cisco was giddy with excitement when he read the report like a young teenager having found a secret stash of porn magazines. "I know I should be horrified by what was created and I am, but this thing is awesome with a dope ass name."

"It was a murder robot created and used by a mad scientist with a fragile-ego who turned it loose once his feelings were hurt. Science is unfortunately beholden to idiots like him and Lord." Naruto remarked.

"Right, which brings us to our main suspect being Maxwell Lord. From what I can tell, basically he's the you of this planet." Barry said to Naruto who looked offended at the comparison. "Just making a point. Not saying you two are alike."

"From what we've read and what Alex has told us, Maxwell Lord is like if Naruto was born without a conscious and was led by his ego." Ronnie said but his comparison was overly simplified.

From everything Naruto had read about Lord and from what he learned from Alex he was getting a good understanding of his personality. Alex mentioned to them how Lord told her that his parents were government employees and their supervisors did not listen when they tried to report a weakness in a safety system or a defect in their protective suits leading to their deaths. It resulted in a strong hatred to the government and likely authority figures in general which would explain his frosty treatment towards Alex and the DEO when Astra's alien army attacked Lord Technologies. He wanted to handle it in-house, not trusting others and was likely protecting something. The man seemed to live by a moral compass and on the surface he put on a face of benevolence but was also contradictory. Naruto remembered the Reactron incident where Lord willingly gave himself up to save his employee but then Alex mentioned a later incident with Ethan Knox. Knox was a former employee for Lord Technologies who went on a bombing spree in National City before trying to blow up Lord's train seemingly as a way to get back at Lord but Kara figured there was more to it and Knox was less angry and more under duress, likely committing the bombings under Lord's orders. When Kara went to confront him, he denied the allegations but postulated the theory that if he did do it, it was all to test Supergirl in the field and figure out her identity. As to why Knox would even do that was likely because Lord could ensure his daughter gets the hospital treatments she needs. The man went from caring about his employees to happily setting one up as a terrorist.

From this, Naruto suspected that Lord followed his own twisted moral ideology in a sort of the ends justify the means mentality so long as it's his means. Naruto deduced the man's ego and arrogance were among his driving factors exemplified during an earthquake that shortly happened after Kara momentarily lost her powers. Lord assisted the people of the city but had his face and name plastered all over the place, letting them know that he was helping them and only he could help now that Supergirl couldn't. In fact, he's gone on record numerous times bashing Supergirl on the news telling them that National City and the world don't need her and how she can't be trusted. The man clearly didn't trust anyone but himself so it's possible he could make a Supergirl clone in his own twisted way to discredit her and prove he could do better. A man who believes he's always right and acts for the good of all but really just himself, like Lex Luthor in a way. In fact, the two seemed to be cut from the same cloth.

To Naruto, the simplest terms to describe Lex Luthor and Maxwell Lord…assholes with god complexes.

"Which makes him the prime suspect for this evil Supergirl." Naruto stated.

"Are we going to continue calling her that because it doesn't sound good at all. I could come up with so many better names for her." Cisco proposed.

"Not now, Cisco." Caitlin told him.

"Ok, so if we're going with Naruto's super genius brain deductions then now the question remains how?" Linda pointed to the words How written on the board in big letters.

"Ok…well, what do we know so far?" Ronnie asked aloud. "This thing has Kara's face and suit which isn't that hard considering all the pictures and news footage they have of her but she has her powers. How does she have powers?"

"Well, it's either a robot or a clone. My money's on robot." Cisco raised his hand like they were taking votes.

"You just want it to be a robot so you can take it apart when we're done." Barry remarked.

"True but it's also possible, especially with what this Red Tornado android did. And Alex did mention she brought him the broken arm of the robot to get his help so he could easily figure out the tech inside for his own means." Cisco pointed out and everyone conceded that possibility.

"Maybe. I mean, Alex did mention that cloning Supergirl would take too long, right Caitlin?" Barry asked.

"Yeah. If this was a clone then the embryo would still be gestating and not yet fully grown so it can't be a clone." Caitlin answered.

"That's under the assumption that Lord cloned an embryo and started from scratch rather than a hybrid method…" Naruto muttered as the wheels in his head kept turning. Slowly and slowly, he began closing in on the most likely answer to the question.

"What do you mean?" Barry questioned.

"If he wanted to start from scratch in cloning like Alex said, it would take too long, like regular human growth minus some acceleration once the thing is grown a little. This world's technology isn't advanced enough yet for accelerated cloning." Naruto said and Caitlin backed that up. With Gideon in the DEO's database who had access to some of this world's best tech they knew that accelerated genetic cloning was still a ways off by at least a few decades and that was being generous. "I think the girl Kara and Alex mentioned might be the key."

Barry pointed his ruler at the pictures the DEO (But really Director Henshaw) had taken in some secret levels at Lord Technologies. The room she was kept in had the highest security in the building with a biometric lock on the door so only Maxwell Lord and select few could enter. The pictures showed a comatose blonde girl laying on a gurney hooked up to some machines monitoring her vitals with an IV line in her arm. Her vitals were steady and she had minimal brain activity indicative of a coma but that was a while ago so who knows what could have happened since then.

"What's in those IVs?" Caitlin wondered so Cisco checked the files.

"Some kind of combination of sodium sulfite and sodium iodate." He read aloud which just made Caitlin confused.

"That would make hydrochloric acid. Her vitals are stable and the brain showed activity similar to a coma-patient. How is she not dead?" Caitlin questioned.

"It has to be whatever else is in that IV solution. Hydrochloric acid isn't black like tar so it's likely mixed with something." Barry suggested. "Maybe a base of some kind? To negate the decomposition effects of the acid."

"Then what would be the point in making Hydrochloric acid if you're not going to dissolve anything?" Cisco countered, leaving them with more questions than answers. He looked over and saw Naruto was deep in thought. "Any ideas super genius?"

"Maybe. The DEO ran a facial recognition scan on her and got nothing. She's a literal Jane Doe but people don't come from nowhere. Gideon, run a search for all comatose Jane Does in the state with similar characteristics and see if you can find a connection to Lord Technologies." Naruto said and Gideon began running a search. "I think that girl could be the doppelganger."

"But she's in a coma." Linda pointed out.

"She was in a coma when they found her but she could have woken out of it after that. Look at her. Similar height, build, and look to Kara. With some adjustments it wouldn't take much to make her look exactly like her." Naruto said and the others could sort of see that.

"Ok, but that doesn't explain her powers. If she's human then how was she able to fly and throw cars like they're softballs?" Ronnie asked.

"I was thinking that too and I'll admit I was stumped until I read this file here." Naruto showed them an incident file from the DEO that happened around Thanksgiving.

"Livewire." Barry read aloud.

"Dope name." Cisco commented.

"Before she became a metahuman, Leslie Willis was just your average radio host with a dislike for Supergirl. Nothing particularly notable other than a strong personality but it was during an accident in her news helicopter that everything changed. Her helicopter was going to crash but Kara managed to save them when she got hit by lightning. The lightning didn't hurt Kara but it coursed through her into Leslie and fundamentally changed her. Leslie went to the hospital but when she woke up she had electrokinetic abilities and became Livewire." Naruto recounted.

"It says here that the DEO suspect that when the lightning went through Kara's body, her Kryptonian DNA acted like dark matter which is why when Livewire was hit she became a metahuman." Caitlin read aloud and could see where Naruto was going with this. "You think Lord used Kara's DNA to mutate the woman."

"It's a scenario that has a high degree of likelihood with what we know now. Could be part of the reason why Lord modeled his doppelganger after Kara since he's using her DNA. And it also could explain how this doppelganger has her powers, at least the flight and super strength. We haven't seen the heat vision or super breath yet. There could be a reason for that." Naruto hinted.

"Here's something else. This fake Supergirl…" Barry said when Cisco groaned, hating the bad names they were giving her. "Not now, Cisco. The doppelganger showed up last night to make this big display of Supergirl going back but where is she now?" Barry's question brought up a valid point that made everyone think. "If Naruto's right, and so far his brain hasn't proven him to be wrong so we can assume he's right, and this is Maxwell Lord doing this in some way to discredit Supergirl, why doesn't he have her out there now doing more damage?"

There was a collective moment of silence as that question sunk in. Clearly there were more questions that needed to be answered but they were circling the right ones.

"Add that to the list of questions we need to solve." Naruto remarked, getting back into the research

"All right…" Cisco stood up and cracked his back. "…if we're going to be stuck here doing research then we need some nourishment. I vote that one of the two speedsters makes a coffee and donut run."

"Barry's it." Naruto pointed to Barry without even looking up from the computer.

"Ah, what?" Barry's annoyance was palpable and he was quietly hating himself that Naruto spoke up before he did.

"Sorry, Barry. You snooze you lose and now you get us coffee." Linda joked and everyone chuckled in amusement. Barry huffed in annoyance before he grabbed his jacket and got up to leave, grabbing the credit card Naruto set up to work on Earth-38 before super speeding out of the DEO to National City.

Later that night…

Naruto walked back into the office after a trip to the bathroom. Said office was littered with papers, additional whiteboards and tablets from all the brainstorming, theorizing and testing Team Flash did in response to their Supergirl Doppelganger question. Their original whiteboard/murder board had been filled in with notes and additional information until it got too crowded and they had to get more to keep things flowing. Naruto looked at the information they got from the Lord Technologies servers and what he found only further solidified that Lord was in fact behind this. All the tests he and Caitlin ran further verified this and they believe they had 99% of all the information they had to prove they were right and so the next thing would be to tell Kara and bring him down. Naruto was actually working on the latter part as he was working on some schematics for gadgets that he would have Cisco and Ronnie build once he was done.

[Beep-Beep]

Naruto checked his watch and saw it was an alert that came up on National City news. The National Island tramway encountered mechanical failure and now a tram is stranded, leaving passengers in peril. NCPD and emergency rescue workers are enroute but they weren't going to be of any help. Naruto had Gideon finish up the schematics before he ran into the main briefing room where he saw Barry and the others hanging out a bit with Cisco sneaking some more pics of Kara's ship.

"Barry!" Naruto called out and got the speedster to turn to him. "Emergency in National City. Tramcar stuck on its cable. Let's go."

"What about Kara?" Barry wondered.

"She's got a date tonight." Linda reminded him.

"And just because we're visiting doesn't mean we stop being heroes. We can handle it. Come on." Naruto said and Barry nodded before the two super sped out of the DEO headquarters, changing into their suits along the way.

The two slid to a stop at a railing near the bay and saw the cable car hanging in the air over the water. It was roughly 150 yards in either direction before it was over solid ground again but from the way it was swaying it didn't look like it would be going anywhere.

"Ok…that's not good." Flash said and Impulse agreed.

"Yeah. Ok, this will be difficult." Impulse used his forearm touchpad to check the power level for his repulsors. Thankfully, all the running had let his suit build up enough charge for him to use them for sustained flight, at least enough for what he had planned.

"Got any ideas?" Flash asked him.

"Head to the Tramway controls and lock the system down. Any serious jolts and that the locking mechanism could snap. I'll head up there and see how bad the damage is but we may have to evacuate everyone out of that thing." Impulse replied before the nanites in his suit began to reconfigure. His gloves and boots reconfigured to become sturdier as stronger repulsors bases appeared before his full combat cowl came down. The repulsors on his hands powered up but instead of the usual concentrated beams of energy, this time the palm bases produced a lower-powered stream of energy. When combined with the same stream of energy the bases on his boots were providing it granted him the lift to get off the ground as he flew into the air towards the tram. Granted, spinning his arms at super speed to create wind funnels would do the exact thing but thing was cooler and more precise.

Flash just looked on in amazement as he saw Impulse fly away. "Ok, that is cool. Can my suit do that too?"

"Yes, it can." Impulse replied over the comms.

"Something to look forward to." Flash zipped away at super speed and arrived at the tramway station. He headed to the control room and saw the workers trying to do what they could but when they saw the Flash they were all frozen in shock. "The Flash. Superhero here to help. Let me see."

He approached the controls to see there was some technical issues, like a short in the system so he went through the machines at super speed until he found the issue which ended up being a shorted wire. It unfortunately caused a chain reaction with the system that led to the errors in communication between the control system and the tramway car.

"Impulse, I'm at the control center and there was a short in the wiring. It's what caused the malfunction. I can start the thing back up." Flash reported.

Impulse flew up to the tramcar and could see the civilians inside panicking but when they saw him fly alongside them it added in confusion. A few of the younger kids in the car recognized his suit as Impulse but he hadn't been seen in months and they didn't know he could fly. Impulse didn't focus on that and flew up to the top where he saw the roof coupling was the issue. All the jostling the tramway car underwent when the system shorted out caused the roof panel connected to the tramway to loosen. Right now, one of the four connecting bolts had snapped, likely from all the jostling and general weakening of the material over time. Must not have been noticed during a maintenance inspection or thought of as not urgent at the time.

"Ok, well that's not the only problem. The roof panel connected the tramway cable is coming loose. The movement must have caused one of the bolts to snap. This thing won't be moving anytime soon until I stabilize it." Impulse told him before looking at the civilians. "Don't worry. You're gonna be fine."

They nodded as he flew back up to the roof and was careful when he landed as his additional weight caused the tramway car to sway. He pressed a few buttons on his forearm computer and shot out some pellets which he tossed onto the loosen roof panel. The pellets cracked when they made contact and quickly expanded into foam before hardening into cement. Liquid-cement chemical formula for the win as it would be enough to get this thing to move again. "Ok, Flash. Let's get this—"

[Whoosh of air]

Impusle turned around when he saw Supergirl hover in the air to him. "Supergirl, what are you doing here? Flash and I have this handled so you can…" Impulse's talking wavered off when he noticed something odd. For one thing, Supergirl wasn't speaking to him and the second is that she was giving him this dead, really creepy stare. "You're not Supergirl."

In response the clone blitzed forward at super speed and grabbed him by the neck with her right hand. She squeezed and lifted him off his feet. "Ok…definitely not Supergirl…" Impulse wheezed in pain as he tried to breathe but the grip on his throat was tight.

"You. Friends with Supergirl. Supergirl bad. You bad. We kill bad people." The clone closed her fingers and tightened her grip, pressing against the nanites of Impulse's suit but before there could be a test between the strength of a Kryptonian (even a cloned one) and durability Vibranium nano-tech, he acted.

"I'm…actually a pretty nice guy…once you get to know me…" Impulse managed to utter before landing a super speed lightning punch to the copy's face. Her faced turned slightly to the side before coming back around which is where he saw a scuff mark on her chin but it wasn't like she was cut or bruised. It was more like a crack akin to cracks you would see in concrete or glass. "What the hell are you?"

The clone Supergirl's eyes glowed but instead of the usual red akin to Kryptonian heat vision he's seen Superman and Supergirl use, her eyes glowed blue and he could have sworn the air around them get colder.

[Whoosh of air]

Something came in fast from the east and hit the clone Supergirl, knocking her away. Impulse was freed from the chokehold but the sudden jerk caused him to fall to the side and nearly fell off the tramway car if he hadn't reached out his hand to grab onto the roof. The civilians inside screamed as the car jostled back and forth from the sudden movement and Impulse was doing to his best to give them some reassurance.

"It's ok! We're fine!" Impulse told them before he pulled himself up. "Flash, activate the tram and get us moving!"

"On it!"

A few moments later the tramway car began moving again, albeit slowly but then again they weren't exactly meant for speed. The concrete boot Impulse put on the weakening roof panel was holding enough for them to keep moving which was important to get the civilians to safety. Granted, he could do without Supergirl fighting her evil speech-impaired doppelganger nearby. Every time they collided, every punch and kick they made with one another was accompanied by a powerful shockwave which only made sense given how powerful Kryptonians were. The force from the shockwaves caused the tramway car to rock back and forth and if it wasn't for the cement block Impulse put on then it definitely would have broken loose by now. They were about a hundred yards from the tramway station when a punch by the clone knocked Supergirl into the cable. As a result, the cable snapped causing the tramway car to come loose and fall into the water. Supergirl flew down and grabbed the cable hook, preventing it from falling and carried it to safety to the station.

She put it down where police and paramedics were waiting to help. Impulse jumped down and opened the door allowing the civilians out, all of whom were grateful to be alive. Supergirl landed down next to Impulse as the Flash slid to a stop next to them and they saw that the doppelganger was gone.

"Where'd she go?" Flash asked.

"She's gone." Impulse rubbed his neck and cleared his throat before he looked at Kara. "But she's definitely not you."

A nearby police helicopter shined its spotlight on them while news cameras got everything and were showing it live before the three heroes left. The trio returned to the DEO and Director Henshaw, Alex, and Team Flash were waiting for them. They returned in their suits though Naruto and Barry had their cowls down. Linda rushed over to Naruto and hugged him. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. Throat's a little sore but I'm ok, I promise." He assured her as they walked over to the main conference table. "Safe to say the reports about Kara's evil twin are right."

"She looks like me, she flies like me, she fights like me, except for the fact that she kept her face on the same dour expression she is exactly like me." Kara told everyone.

"Granted her speech skills were severely lacking and she definitely thinks your bad and since we're friends, I'm bad by association." Naruto added.

"Sorry, Naruto." Kara apologized but he gave her a nod.

"Red Tornado was programmed to analyze and mimic your fighting style and velocity. Dr. Morrow is dead but perhaps his schematics for an android got into the hands of someone else." Henshaw suggested.

"No, Director, I don't think she's a robot." Naruto tapped his forearm computer and holographically projected some of the data his suit was taking during his altercation with her. "The scans I got back were organic. And when I looked into her eyes there was definitely someone staring back at me but…"

"But what?" Alex asked.

"Something was strange. It was like whatever was staring back wasn't completely human, like…the lights were on but I'm not sure what was home." Naruto answered and everyone wasn't sure how to interpret that. "I'm not sure what is going on in that clone's head but the rest of her was Kara, or at least close to her."

"So, then she really is a clone." Barry said.

"I think so." Naruto shrunk his suit back down before he put his phone on the table and tapped his smart watch a few times. "Gideon, run a genetic scan from the samples on my suit against the scans the DEO has on Supergirl to verify."

"Scan commencing." Gideon then projected the data for everyone to see. "The results show a near 95% genetic identical match between the clone and Supergirl but the remaining five percent is showing damaged human cellular makeup."

"So, Supergirl was cloned but also has human DNA. How is this possible?" Henshaw asked as Team Flash looked at one another.

"So, we were right. Maxwell Lord is behind this." Caitlin said and Naruto nodded.

"Man, this guy is sick in the head for doing this." Cisco remarked.

"Uh, hello?" Alex waved her hand to get their attention. "Care to fill us in."

"We've spent the day going over all the information to figure out who this doppelganger of Kara's was and pretty much everything we found confirmed that Maxwell Lord is behind this and it has to do with the girl you saw at his facility." Barry told them and Gideon brought up all the necessary information to help backup their work.

"We think we figured out what Lord was doing with the girl. She was being used as a test subject for something called Genetic Sequence Appropriation." Naruto said.

"What?" Kara, Alex, and Director Henshaw were confused which is when Gideon brought up more information and Caitlin took over to explain being their lead biologist.

"That's not it's technical name since this kind of procedure is so horrid and unethical that no one would think to use it. It's a form of genetic synthesis. It's archaic but if you isolate someone's genome and flood a subject with a concentrated infusion of DNA to basically override their existing strands, you could in theory, make a clone of a person." Caitlin told them.

"Scientists have speculated that this procedure could be used as a form of genetic healing for serious illnesses or for genetic identity theft. Basically, the ultimate identity theft by taking over their DNA as well but it's super archaic, not to mention unethical and with countless risks." Cisco added.

"Ok, but how? Wouldn't they need my DNA? How would they get it?" Supergirl asked.

"The genome wouldn't take much. Hair and skin cells would be more than enough and you said that the IV she was flooded with was Sodium sulfite and sodium iodate which could create hydrochloric acid. That part still stumped us until we read through the file you had on the incident with Livewire. We think that that something similar happened here. The mixture should have melted the girl from the inside but the Kryptonian DNA introduced could have instead broken down her incredibly resilient DNA into a serum. Constant infusion into the girl's body would slowly override the existing DNA strands of the host body leaving behind the strongest DNA still around, this case being Kryptonian DNA. Maxwell Lord's basically forced this girl into gene therapy to change her DNA into that of a Kryptonian. It's not full proof and the results are likely not going to be exact but it's possible." Naruto said but paused for a moment with the next bit of information. "And I don't think that girl you saw was the first test subject…just the one that survived."

Hearing that didn't make Supergirl happy but she needed to know. "Go on, Naruto."

"I did a search for the girl you said you saw so I checked hospitals within a thousand miles for a Jane Doe matching your characteristics. Height weight, coloring and I found one. She was taken to National City General after a bad car accident two years ago and has been in a coma ever since. Several months ago, she was transferred from the hospital into private ownership by Prometheus Genetics." Naruto uttered.

"Let me guess. Maxwell Lord owns Prometheus Genetics." Alex guessed and she was correct from the nods she got.

"Yeah but she wasn't the only one. Over the past few months, there have been six more comatose Jane Does claimed by Prometheus Genetics. No one has seen any of them since." Barry said and there was palpable sense of discomfort felt by Alex, Henshaw, and Kara.

"Seven girls?"

"The kind of experiment Lord is trying to do is incredibly dangerous and not 100% guaranteed. The kind of risks the he's going to go to…would need multiple test subjects. Looks like the seventh one is where he got it right." Caitlin said, feeling physically ill for having to explain this kind of horrid science. "Being comatose, the genetic surgery could restore the subject to a conscious state. Given a Kryptonian's ability to heal it could revive the neurons in the brain to a functioning level. To what degree, I can't say for certain but from what Gideon was able to calculate, most likely a blank slate. Just basic physical memories like to move, talk, or walk, but episodic memories, the stuff that make us who we are could be gone. Basically, a robot."

"A robot that Maxwell Lord controls. He really is a monster." Alex spat out in disgust.

"High-functioning sociopath with a god complex and believes that everything he does is justified. Still, with that kind of genetic manipulation, I don't think even Maxwell Lord completely understands just what he's made. It's not going to be an exact clone of Supergirl but close enough and it's not unstoppable. Just…harder to stop." Naruto said.

"If she's genetically identical to Supergirl then she has the same weakness. We have to subdue her somehow so we'll use Kryptonite. Naruto, how quickly can you make those modular arc reactor energy rifles you showed me?" Henshaw asked.

"I can have a dozen of them done by morning." He promised.

"Good. The next time she shows herself we'll be ready." Henshaw promised.

"But what about Maxwell Lord. He did this to her, to those seven girls. He experimented on them. We have to stop him too." Supergirl stated.

"We're the DEO, we don't exist. And we're not in the business of arresting civilians, especially world-famous billionaires." Henshaw said before he walked away.

"Luckily, that's where we come in." Linda said with a smile that it helped alleviate the dour mood. "Once Naruto realized that might be the case we've been working on ways to take down Maxwell Lord. It's not easy considering how well-connected he is but we think we're closing in on a solid plan."

"By this time tomorrow, Maxwell Lord is going to pay for what he's done. That much we can promise." Barry promised to Kara.

"Thank you. All of you. I really appreciate it." Kara said and Naruto smiled.

"What are friends for." He gave her his signature smile and she blushed a bit. Linda looked at the blushing Kara with intrigue. Guess her little date with Cat Grant's son didn't go as expected.

Line Break xxxxx

Catco Worldwide Media, National City

Kara was at her work diligently going through emails and setting things up for Cat Grant. When she arrived this morning with Cat's coffee she ran into Adam who was meeting his mother. She apologized for not calling him back last night and he was fine with that and they would make up for their sudden date night end last night with a new one tonight. They hugged goodbye which is when Cat commented how they haven't kissed yet and yada-yada-yada, just Cat being Cat. Though one thing Cat brought up was how she named Supergirl's doppelganger, Bizarro. Eh, five out of ten.

[Buzz]

Kara checked her phone and saw it was a text message from Naruto. It read, meet me around the corner.

She looked up and saw Naruto across the room around a corner, like he was hiding and when he saw she was looking at him he waved to her. Kara grabbed her phone and got up but she wasn't the only one who saw him as Winn noticed him as well. "Kara, is that—"

"Yup. He came for a visit." She replied and he ended up getting up from this desk to follow him.

Naruto pulled his head back as Kara and Winn walked around the corner. "Hey, Kara. Hey, Winn. Good to see you again."

"You too." Winn gave Naruto a fist bump and then a bro-hug. "Kara said you were visiting so did you make it back home and then visited or are you still traveling and came back?"

"No, I made it back home and came to visit with some friends. My team back on Earth-One. Came to introduce them to Kara and help out."

"Yeah, I saw on the news." Winn pointed to one of the monitors playing the breaking news from last night of Supergirl and Bizarro. There was also plenty of mention of the return of the Blur in a new suit and the debut of his red-suited sidekick Catco dubbed the Red Blur.

"HA! Barry's my sidekick with an even worse name. Oh, I'm so holding this over his head." Naruto quickly took out his phone to snap a picture. "Maybe Cat Grant isn't so bad after all.

"Ah, so you're still afraid of Cat after…" Winn mumbled a bit and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah. Kind of why I didn't come to tell you I was back and introduce you to the others." Naruto replied.

"Ok, what are you two talking about?" Kara asked only for Winn to give her a sheepish look and Naruto to keep his mouth shut. "Does this have anything to do with why you're so scared to see Mr. Grant?"

"KARA!"

"Oh, damn!" Naruto went wide-eyed and began to panic when he heard Cat Grant's shout. Making sure no one was around or could see them and that there were no security cameras in the hall he put his back to the wall and quickly vibrated at super speed. He quickly became an indistinguishable blur before he vanished from sight.

"Whoa…" Winn and Kara looked on in disbelief as Naruto was there one moment and then he wasn't. Winn slowly reached his finger to poke the spot Naruto was when he felt something slap it away.

"Stop that. She's coming." They heard Naruto whisper and the clack of her heels were a dead giveaway.

"Winn." Kara said his name as she and Winn straightened up just as Cat walked into view.

Cat found it odd to have Kara and the computer guy standing together by themselves and they looked like they were talking about something and hastily stopped when they heard her arriving. Something was up. "What's going on here?"

"Nothing. Nothing's going on here. I mean, I'm just catching up with Winn, my friend…over here…in the hall." Kara's lying was painfully bad and Cat wasn't buying it. Thankfully, Winn came to her rescue.

"Actually. Kara came to me because she needed help with a recommendation for her date with Adam tonight. She was kind of freaking out on what to do so she came to me for suggestions for some restaurants."

Winn's delivery was much more believable, enough that Cat didn't pay it a second thought. "Kara, I'm quite frankly disappointed in you that you wouldn't come to me for help with this. I'll get you a list of restaurants for your date with Adam."

Cat walked away with a new temporary distraction to handle and she was excited because it had to do with her son. Kara and Winn let out collective sighs of relief with her going back to her office and a few moments later Naruto reappeared, letting out a heavy exhale like he had been holding his breath. "Whew, that was close."

"You hid from Ms. Grant like she was going to kill you." Kara pointed out and seeing the look of guilt on his and Winn's face was enough that she needed this to end. "Ok, seriously Naruto. What is going on with you? Why are you so afraid of Ms. Grant?"

Naruto looked over at Winn who was urging him to just explain what happened so he bit the bullet. "It was after the morning after you stopped Reactron and before I left. I was going to drop by Catco to say goodbye to Winn and maybe leave Cat with a more lasting and better impression of you so she wouldn't keep messing up your name…and maybe also to get her to change my name from the Blur."

"Ok…" Kara wasn't sure where this was going.

"I walked into Catco that morning…

Flashback…

The floor of Catco's news section was busy as people were diligently hard a work following the news storm that was Supergirl defeating Reactron. A feat that not ever her cousin, Superman was able to accomplish. The elevator doors dinged and out walked Naruto holding some boxes of donuts in one hand and stacked trays of coffee in the other. Moving about diligently, he walked in to find Winn so he could say goodbye, James too if he saw him. He knew Kara would be at the DEO with Director Henshaw and Alex and Naruto would stop by before he would open up another dimensional breach and try to make it back to his earth.

He walked onto the floor in the middle of the news bullpen being extra careful to avoid walking into someone when he saw Winn's desk was empty so he looked around. "Naruto?"

Naruto turned around and saw Winn walked back over with his tablet. "Hey, Winn. Just wanted to pop in and say goodbye. I'm going to head out soon so I wanted to drop off something for you and Catco. Donuts and coffee."

"Oh, wow. Thanks." Winn smiled, happy for the donuts and coffee especially since he didn't have to pay. Naruto put the boxes of donuts onto Winn's desk and cradled the stacks of coffee in two hands. "You're heading home? Where exactly is that because I did some digging and the Blur has never been seen before you showed up in National City."

"Huh, guess I never told you or James with everything going on. That's fine because I'm not really from here uh…" Naruto realized that carrying all the coffees was getting annoying so he turned around to put them onto Kara's desk. "One second."

Winn nodded when he saw what was about to happen. "Wait, Naruto look out!"

[Crash]

Cat Grant happened to be walking out of her office at the same time which put her into Naruto's direct path. With all the coffees he was carrying he couldn't see her so the two collided. Normally, even a collision would be bad with Ms. Grant but the fact that Naruto was carrying a stack of coffee cups…even worse. Everyone on the floor froze in shock and fear as they saw spilled coffee and their cups stained the floor. Even James had walked over and what he saw made his jaw drop. Naruto got some on his shoes and pants but Ms. Grant was completely soaked from head to toe. Winn was panicking as he knew Ms. Grant was going to go ballistic and Naruto had sweat trickling down his neck when he saw what he did. All it took was the look on her face to know she was pissed.

She reached up and wiped the coffee away from her face as an employee quietly walked over with a box of tissues which she just knocked away. "Ms. Grant I'm so…"

Cat raised her hand to make him stop before she gave him the scariest look he had ever seen before. "You are without a doubt the clumsiest, most idiotic and incapable waste of space I have ever had the displeasure of KNOWING!"

That was only the beginning as Cat continued to go on a rant of insults hurled at Naruto. She continued to vent her anger with words at the blond as she spoke out enough insults to fill a newspaper. Not only that but she also shouted some insults in other languages and unfortunately for Naruto, he understood every single one of them due to being multilingual. In fact the verbal lashing even seemed worse when she switched to other languages. The employees could only look in horror and pity while Naruto's face slowly turned more pale as his mind slowed down. It only worsened even more when Cat started making subtle gestures with her hand. Pointing a finger at him, poking him in the chest which made him stumble back. Even the sight of her lip turning into a vicious sneer that made her look more like the vicious, work crazy dragon lady everyone thought and called her behind her back. The only thing missing was actual fire spewing from her mouth from all the heat Naruto was being dealt.

Ten minutes of violent yelling, throwing objects, and soul-breaking teardowns later…

Cat got into her private elevator to leave work for the day to get changed. A janitor crew was called within minutes of the incident and everyone else went back to jobs, all shaking with fear as their eyes focused on their work. All except for Winn and James who were escorting Naruto out of the building.

"Easy does it, Naruto. Easy." James told him.

"That's it buddy. One foot after the other." Winn added.

The two were treating Naruto like a child mainly because he was still dealing with the after effects of the pants wetting terror from Cat Grant tearing him a new one. His right eye was twitching and the look of horror on his face was like he had been eaten up by a monster and spit out or had seen the inside of the Ark of the Covenant and somehow survived. Just pure terror that would likely result in some serious PTSD. All the employees gave him a wide berth with looks of sympathy as James and Winn escorted him out of the building.

End Flashback…

Kara stood there with her mouth open in shock after everything she just heard. There was only one response to something like that. "Oh my god."

"James and I escorted Naruto out of the building and got him some tea to calm him down. It was rough goings there for a few minutes after." Winn told her.

"Very bad." Naruto said as the flashback to what happened brought back the trauma and his right eye started twitching again but he quickly snapped out of it with a slap to the face. "Ah."

"So, what happened after?" Kara wondered.

"After? I ate a grocery's store worth of ice cream and drank a liquor's store worth of alcohol and compartmentalized what happened. After about an hour I blocked out what happened which is why I showed up to say goodbye seemingly fine." Naruto felt his eye twitch again so he slapped his face again. "Ah. It's also why I haven't shown my face around here."

Kara was secretly starting to get worried from seeing how twitchy the blonde was from the ordeal. She also got a whole new sense to never get her boss that mad at her. Kara didn't know if she could recover from that kind of verbal lashing Naruto described. Just the thought of it made her feel dizzy with anxiety.

"Yes. Ms. Grant would kill you. Like she would literally kill you. I'm surprised she didn't kill you then or had you arrested. She's had that done to people for less." Kara admitted.

"I'm thinking with the whole Reactron front page news that she was in such a good mood she only gave Naruto the most traumatic yelling of his life so let's count our blessings while we can." Winn deduced. "So, why are you here to risk another one?"

"Just wanted to let Kara know that I've managed to figure a way to take down Maxwell Lord." He answered and Kara's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Yeah. It took some extra work and creative thinking on my part but I've managed to come up with a plan that will ensure Maxwell Lord's high and mighty perch will crumble right underneath him. Just wanted to give you a heads up to act as normal as possible as Kara Danvers." He said only for Kara to look at him confused. "I managed to break into his more secured and heavily encrypted personal files at Lord Technologies and this is what I found."

He showed Kara his phone and it was playing a video of her and Alex in her apartment, hanging out on the couch eating foot and watching TV. Kara had just returned from a patrol in the city and was still in her Supergirl suit. "He knows I'm Supergirl?"

"How?" Winn whispered.

"Once I saw the video I checked your apartment and found a few surveillance bugs. The dude kept detailed notes and has his suspicions during your encounters together after the bomb attack on the train and then when Alex accepted his dinner invitation he suspected that she and Supergirl were more closely connected than just working together. It was soon after that he bugged your apartment to confirm his theory." Naruto explained. "He saw Alex as an exploit and to get closer to Supergirl's identity and ironically Alex ended up giving him your DNA. The Red Tornado arm he gave her had enough of what he needed."

"So, what do we do now? If he knows Kara's secret then what's next and why hasn't he revealed it to mess with her?" Winn wondered.

"My guess is he was saving that threat in the event you or Alex went after him. Luckily, he can't do much about that anymore. I deleted all digital trace of that information from his system. I'm going there in person to get rid of all physical proof he could have and have something that will prevent him from telling anyone. This time tomorrow, Maxwell Lord's entire empire will be done. Just wanted to give you a heads up to keep your head down and maybe take a sick day. Since he knows who you are he could send Bizarro after you here which could cause problems." Naruto pointed out and with the new revelation that Lord knew her secret, it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Naruto's right. And who knows who else he could have told. If Maxwell Lord is anything it's prepared so maybe you should go out there as Supergirl." Winn suggested when he realized more layers to the plan. "Wait, yes, go out there as Supergirl and lure Bizzaro to you."

"I still think that name is stupid." Naruto stated.

"Agreed, not Cat's best but if you lure Bizarro out there then you and Alex can take her down while Naruto deals with Lord. He'll be a lot less dangerous without his pet Kryptonian science project nearby." Winn said.

"That's a smart idea. I'll call Barry and Cisco. They finished the energy rifles I made for the DEO so they can help take down Bizarro." Naruto added.

"Ok. We end this today." Kara said and they went their separate ways. Kara would fake a family emergency with her adopted sister Alex that she needed to help her with and since Cat was in such a good mood because of Adam she paid her no mind. Naruto gave Winn an earpiece and had Gideon connect him to everyone since he couldn't leave Catco like Kara could. Naruto contacted Barry who told Alex and the others about the plan. They knew he was going to go to Lord Technologies to deal with Lord so they'd be ok to help Kara deal with Bizarro.

Naruto stood around the corner from Lord Technologies building and looked at his watch to see CCTV camera footage from inside the highly secured room where he was keeping Bizarro. He could see Lord using some kind of device to fix the damage done to his clone from the fight last night. Bizarro just sat there in the chair with a blank look on her face.

"Ok, Kara. You're up." Naruto said before he super sped away.

Inside Lord Technologies in Bizarro's room, Lord used a special Red-Sun laser to help repair the damage done to his clone's skin. The cracks on her face began to slowly seal up and heal. "I ordered you to kill Supergirl." Lord reminded her.

"You say Supergirl bad. You say Supergirl's friends bad. But they help people. They are not bad." Bizzaro said and Lord chuckled in amusement.

"I understand. You share her DNA. It's natural that you should want to see the best in her." Lord walked over to the monitor that was showing stills from the news about Supergirl's various saves that were used as part of her mental conditioning. "But who do you trust, Supergirl or me? Who do you love? Supergirl or me? Just remember, the world is a very complicated place, kiddo. Sometimes things that seem to be good are really very, very bad."

Bizarro nodded when the monitor brought up live news footage in National City. Supergirl was hovering up in the air over National City Park right in the center of the city for everyone to see. Civilians were taking photos and recording while news helicopters hovered into the air around her capturing live footage that was broadcast all over National City. Lord could tell by Supergirl's expression of stern determination that she was itching for a fight which was kind of out of character. Perhaps she wanted to take the initiative on her own to try and maybe get through to her clone.

"Well…" Lord turned to Bizarro. "You don't want to keep her waiting."

Bizarro nodded and stood up, leaving the room and once she exited the building she flew away. Lord returned to his office to get some work done and to watch the fight on the news but stopped before he opened the door because he saw someone inside his office. They were behind his desk staring out the window and male judging by appearance though with the spikey blonde hair Lord had a sinking suspicion on who he was so out of precaution he took out his phone and activated a data purge of his private server. Once he saw the progress bar he also activated his silent alarm before walking in.

"I don't recall having an appointment so I'm going to have to ask you to leave, please." Lord said but Naruto just kept his gaze out the window.

"As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him; but, as he was ambitious, I slew him." Naruto said before he turned around so Lord could see him.

"William Shakespear." Lord recognized the quote.

"And I couldn't help but think it was appropriate for this situation." Naruto looked Lord up and down and was unamused. "So, you're Maxwell Lord."

"I am and like I said before you don't have an appointment so I'm going to have to ask you to leave my office amicably before I have security escort you out." Lord warned Naruto but he was undeterred and sat down in his chair.

"I wouldn't worry about them. They won't be coming despite your silent alarm going off. They're taking a nice nap and when they wake up they'll be fine. Figure this would give us a chance to talk without any interruptions." Naruto told him.

"And I'm guessing you have a means to keep me from leaving my office? Gun hidden under the desk or a sniper fixed on my position?" Lord asked so Naruto showed him his hands to reveal he had nothing and he even went as far to pull in the blinds so there was no light and no way a sniper to get a line of sight on Lord.

"Unlike you, I don't feel the need to threaten unnecessarily. Threats lose their potency if they're thrown about willy-nilly and I haven't threatened you yet. Trust me, you'll know when I threaten you but I don't feel like I'll need to go that far." Naruto kicked his feet up onto Lord's desk and relaxed a bit, remaining rather cavalier regarding everything while Lord remained on edge and alert. "So, was it here that you decided that you could forgo common decency and ethical reasoning to take and experiment on seven women?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about? Lord Technologies doesn't involve itself in human experimentation. That's amoral." Lord answered.

"Wow, and with a straight face too. You and Luthor really are cut from the same cloth." Naruto remarked.

"I'm nothing like Luthor. The man is an egocentric maniac who willingly put innocent people at risk to end an imaginary vendetta against Superman." Lord said and Naruto chuckled in amusement.

"And you can't hear the irony in that? You had seven girls taken by your company, Prometheus Genetics, and experimented on them, killing six until the seventh gave you your Bizarro, who you then modeled after Supergirl in order to discredit and parade around as your own version. That was you literally putting innocent people at risk for your own ego." Naruto called out.

"Those women were brain dead. Zero chance of recovery so I gave them a chance to live." Lord told him.

"More like one. The other six you killed. As a scientist I understand the need to experiment on a hypothesis but I draw the line about unethical human testing. If you really were as smart and altruistic as you think you are then you would have put your own body on the line but no…" Naruto drew out the no for emphasis. "…not the great Maxwell Lord. The man who claims to be a man of the people but is more than happy to throw them on the pyre if it suits his own ends."

"Some unfortunate methods need to be used to get things done. That's not a confession by the way but if somebody, if I were to do the things you're implying, all it would take is an elementary genetic synthesis." Lord's pride in his word was evident but Naruto looked unimpressed.

"Oh, please. Your genetic sequencing appropriation is as archaic as it is horrifying and quite frankly you can delude yourself into thinking you managed to clone a Kryptonian but your Bizzaro is nothing like the original. After learning what you did I find Bizarro to be a much more fitting name even if I think it's still stupid. Then again you know that and likely wanted that in the first place. Have your own attack dog but give her the brain capacity of a child so she'll follow your orders and not snap your neck like a twig. And quite frankly, the more I've read about what you've done I'll admit it's a temptation." Naruto shot back and Lord mockingly shivered in response.

"Oh, frightening. You must be the bad cop to Supergirl's good cop. You've been absent from National City for months since you helped her defeat Reactron it made me wonder what happened and sad that I couldn't test my theory with your abilities." Lord said, indicating he knew that Naruto was the Blur. "So…what planet are you from?"

Naruto just chuckled in amusement. "And there's your first mistake, thinking I'm an alien. I'm 100% human though something a little more special due to... let's call it an unexpected epochal event that changed my life."

"Good then you'll understand this point even more and even agree with me. Survival of the fittest. For humanity to survive, we need to be fitter than them."

"And let me guess. You'll lead humanity." Naruto shook his head in disbelief. "I'm guessing you're of the mindset that if something isn't handled by your hands than it needs to be in order to be perfect. Clearly your mistrust comes from your parents accident. I can sympathize with that up to a point and you long passed that."

"You know nothing about me or my parents." Lord told him.

"True but the question remains on whether they would approve of what you've done? I mean, you hate the government for their less than moral handling of the experiment your parents were working on and here you are doing the same thing. Quite frankly, you're no better than they are." Naruto said and he saw Lord's eyes give a slight twitch so he kept pushing. "I mean, you hate them for the shady tactics and methods used that killed your parents but here you are doing the same thing. All in the name of the greater good, which is honestly something that they would say. How's it feel, Max? You've become what you hated. At least with my parents, I've managed to honor their memory in a way they would approve of. Yours? I don't think so."

"So high and mighty. You know nothing about me or my parents so don't think you can use their memory against me. If they knew what the planet was facing today then I believe they would agree with my mindset. Humanity needs to advance and sometimes advancement only comes from the mind of someone willing to do what it takes." Lord said.

"You're not the pinnacle of humanity, Lord. You're just another two-bit egocentric jackass who thinks he can play god. The only difference between you and every other asshole Supergirl and I have dealt with in the past is the size of your inflated ego. And I'm going to be quite pleased to see it deflate." Naruto told him.

"You have no proof I did anything wrong. You're hands are tied. Sad part about being a hero is that you have to play by the rules." Lord teased. "I'll admit that you showing up here was brave. Try and rattle me but if you do try anything, things will get very bad for your friend in the cape…and her sister."

"Oh, you mean these two?" Naruto held up the phone to show the recording Lord had taken of Kara and Alex in Kara's apartment. Lord's smirk instantly deflated while Naruto kept his shit-eating grin on his face. "A cute moment together, don't you think? And I found this last night after I hacked your entire computer system. Everything both public and private, even your encrypted files as well. Wasn't that hard to be honest. Your system really needs some work." Naruto got up from Lord's desk and walked over to the liquor cabinet he had in his office and poured himself a glass of whiskey. "I already deleted it along with all the other digital evidence you had. Took care of the bugs you put in her apartment, creepy by the way, before I came here and got rid of all the physical evidence before I uploaded all of dealings both legal and illegal to someone who is currently writing a scathing article about you. It should be up in the next hour or so. I gave them a head start. Sadly, the data migration you thought would be your saving grace didn't work."

Lord checked his phone and saw the data migration progress bar stop at 68% before the screen glitched and was replaced with a gif of a cute chibi Impulse and chibi Supergirl laughing at a chibi Maxwell Lord who had a dunce cap on his head. A few seconds late some words appeared.

Guess you're not as smart as you think you are.

The Chibi Impulse and Supergirl gave Lord the middle finger before they vanished. "You think this is funny?"

"A little bit." Naruto shrugged and Lord threw his phone at the wall in anger. "Oh, not sure the warranty will cover that but something tells me a broken phone will be the least of your worries. I'd smile pretty Lord and put on your best acting because you're going to be doing a lot of that for the foreseeable future."

Lord looked like he wanted to explode in anger and grab the nearest thing to throw at Naruto's head or find a gun to shoot him but he managed to demonstrate a tremendous amount of self-restraint in that moment to do nothing. Naruto could see his fists tightening to the point where his fingers were digging into his palms but what intrigued him was the burning sociopathic kind of hatred in his eyes. The kind of hatred that would drive a man to do unspeakable kinds of things to get revenge for what happened or justice in Lord's twisted mind. It was the quiet people you had to be careful with and clearly Lord was one of them.

"You really think that this is over? You think that just because you have those powers, that you and Supergirl can do what you can that it makes you special? That you can just ruin my life for doing what is in the best interest for humanity and I'll let that slide." Lord told him off.

"The best interest for humanity? Please, Lord, you mean the best interest for you." Naruto countered his supposed altruistic nature.

"My best interest is the best interest of humanity!" Lord shouted, racing over and slamming his fists into his glass desk that it actually cracked a bit. "People like you are a threat! Supergirl's the threat! Bizarro is humanity's guardian! Humanity can only get better if it's in control of itself and not because some alien from another planet decides to play guardian and I'm not the only one who thinks so! Supergirl may have people fooled but not me and now you've managed to irritate and vex me like no one ever has before!"

"Careful, Lord. Your ego is showing." Naruto smirked.

"Oh my god, just shut up with this falsity everyman routine! All you heroes have massive egos even bigger than mine! The only difference is that I'm not afraid to hide behind mine with a mask! And what do you think you'll actually be able to have the courts pin on me? Kidnapping? Corporate espionage? Unethical scientific experimentation? Based on what evidence and how exactly would it be legally obtained? You could upload all the damaging information from my company that you want but what good will it do you? I can have it thrown out of court easily with my team of lawyers and I'll be out of no time and then you'll see just what kind of havoc I can wreak your life for what you've done. You will be begging for me to put you out of your misery but I promise that I'll make sure you live just long enough to see the hellfire I'll rain down on Supergirl and her sister. Anyone who has ever helped her will have their lives ruined and it'll all be your fault." Lord's warning was dripping with venom and absolute definitive certainty that he would make good on his promises. Even if it took years, he would rain down holy hellfire for what has been done to him. But did Naruto look frightened? No. If anything, just reassured that he made the right choice.

"Well, now I know I made the right choice…and I don't feel as bad about doing this." Naruto put on some sunglasses and pulled an object out from his pocket that looked like the combined pieces of a flashlight, digital camera, cellphone and tablet designed to look like a very large metallic flashlight. The top part had a white LED light on facing Lord and when Naruto pressed a button a blinding flash of light filled the room. The light enveloped Lord's eyes and immediately his pupils enlarged and his body seemed to relax along with his facial expression. Like someone hit pause on his brain which was sort of true, at least temporarily. Naruto then got up and injected Lord in the side of his neck with a small syringe before he leaned against the desk and removed his glasses. "I know you're probably confused so allow me to make some introductions. Meet MED."

Naruto held up the modified flashlight device with the glowing LED light. "Memory Extinguishing Device. Funny how the acronym worked out for me and yes I took the design and concept from the Men in Black's neuralyzer. I did say I would build one to wipe a friend of mine's memory since he wasn't very good at keeping his mouth shut and with you knowing Kara's secret it turned out to be the perfect timing. The white light isolates and measures the electrical impulses and synapses of your brain through your eyes and in turn augments or completely erases certain ones, those tied to memory. Turns out Men In Black was a lot more scientifically accurate than people realize. Just took a super genius to make it work. The aesthetics leave something to be desired, I know. Not exactly sleek compared to the one from the movie but it got the job done but I made my own modifications which happens to have the handy benefit of stunning you. It's momentary but I adjusted the setting for you to keep you stunned for a little longer allowing me to inject you with my truth serum nanites." Naruto tossed the syringe up into the air and caught it. "Now, we can make sure that the world knows everything about you and you can't threaten me or Supergirl. And you're not going to be able to buy your way out of this. Already all your private bank accounts both legal and offshore have been liquidated and evenly distributed to your employees. Your company's going to go down the toilet and unfortunately it means they'll all be out of jobs but I'm not a monster…and I'm talking to myself again. All right. Let's get this over with."

Naruto flashed Lord once more to keep him stunned before they continued their conversation and Lord gave up everything he knew. Once he was done…well, he wouldn't remember what happened but his life would be ruined.

Meanwhile with Kara…

Supergirl was hovering high into the air over National City for all to see. Part of the plan to draw out Bizarro.

[Sonic boom]

And it was working since she saw something flying incredibly fast at her so she dashed to the side at the last second and Bizarro flew past her. Bizarro turned around and stared down Supergirl.

"Please. You don't have to do this. I know what Maxwell Lord did to you. I can help you. I have friends that can help you. You never asked for any of this." Supergirl pleaded but Bizarro just kept her usual blank stare.

"Supergirl bad. We kill Supergirl." Bizarro blitzed forward at super speed and tackled Supergirl through the air but the latter was able to spin them around and kick her off. Supergirl flew away with Bizarro chasing after her, managing to get alongside her and threw out a punch. Supergirl blocked it before grabbing her arm and tossing her away but Bizarro found her balance. Her eyes lit up blue and she unleashed twin beams of energy so Supergirl's eyes glowed red and she unleashed her heat vision. The two beams of energy clashed with one another but it wasn't heat vision against heat vision. The air around Bizarro got cold and when the two beams collided there were dense clouds of water vapor released as a result like something hot came into contact with something cold. Bizarro's heat vision was actually ice.

Supergirl kept up her heat vision before it began to overpower Bizarro's ice vision and blasted her in the face. Supergirl then flew forward and tackled Bizarro until they crashed into the park. The civilians in the area scattered in fear before a red blur of yellow lightning raced around and got them all to safety one by one. Supergirl stood up and saw Bizarro getting back to her feet so she flew forward in a quick burst of speed and punched her in the face. Bizarro glared before she pursed her lips but instead of freeze breath from her mouth it was fire. Supergirl pursed her lips and unleashed her freeze breath as the two opposite elemental super powers clashed.

A blur portal opened up in the park and out jumped Vibe and Dr. Light, carrying the modular arc reactor energy rifles Naruto made but they had a green glowing light in the center. The Flash skid to a stop next to them and Vibe handed him one. "Ok, Supergirl. Civilians are clear. We're ready!"

She saw them standing ready so she punched Bizarro in the face one more time and threw her into tree. "Now!"

The Flash slid to a stop on her left, Vibe appeared on her right and Dr. Light to her front. They raised their energy rifles and squeezed the triggers. The light on the rifles glowed brightly as the green light traveled down the barrels before condensed beams of green energy shot out and hit Bizarro from all three sides. Bizarro staggered as she was hit but managed to stay on her feet.

"Hit her again!" Dr. Light shouted so they fired another volley and the six Kryptonite energy beams seemed to do the job as she fell forward. Supergirl landed next to Flash, thinking it was over when they saw Bizarro clenched her fists into the ground and push herself back up. There they could see that Bizarro's skin began to crack and turn pale while her eyes turned black as did her hair and her facial appearance began to turn back into the Jane Doe Director Henshaw saw in the lab.

"What's happening?" Flash asked.

"I don't know." Supergirl replied.

"It's like the Kryptonite is breaking her body down." Vibe said as Bizarro stood up.

"[Growling] HATE YOU!" Bizarro clapped her hands together for a powerful thunderclap that knocked the heroes back. It was so powerful it produced such a powerful shockwave that echoed across a dozen city blocks. Bizarro took off into the air with such force she created another powerful shockwave leaving the heroes concussed and disorientated.

Supergirl was up first and helped Flash, Vibe, and Dr. Light back onto their feet. "What just happened?" Vibe asked.

"I'm not sure…but that definitely didn't go according to plan." Dr. Light said and everyone agreed with her.

DEO Headquarters

Naruto had returned to the DEO in a good mood. His job was done and he informed Director Henshaw and Alex that Lord was taken care of so all that was left was for Bizarro to stopped. Unfortunately, things didn't end up going that way as Supergirl, Flash, Vibe, and Dr. Light walked in a little worse for wear. They didn't say anything but their expressions told them everything they needed to know, along with the fact that they were absent Bizarro.

"What happened?" Naruto asked, walked over to Linda but she assured him she was fine.

"Things didn't go quite according to plan." Barry answered, removing his cowl while Vibe removed his goggles and Linda removed her visor.

"You could say that again. My ears are still ringing." Cisco wiggled his pinky finger in his ear to try and help alleviate his temporarily impaired hearing.

"Bizarro is equal in strength to me but it's like her powers are completely opposite. Ice vision and fire breath instead of heat vision and freeze breath and when she was hit with the Kryptonite she got stronger." Supergirl explained.

"We hit her with six energy blasts of Kryptonite which should have stunned her long enough for us to take her in but she got back up and got stronger." Linda added.

"Not only that but her skin changed. It cracked apart and she looked different. More like the girl from the photos we have." Barry remembered.

"It's like Naruto said. Whatever Lord did didn't make a perfect clone of Supergirl, more like her opposite. Bizarro is actually becoming more of a fitting name than we realize." Caitlin added.

"So, once again a super-powered monster is unleashed on National City with the strength of a Kryptonian. If she's diametrically opposed to Supergirl then I can have our labs start reverse engineering the chemical compound to our synthetic Kryptonite. If its atomic structure is making Bizarro stronger, then reversing its ionic charge should have an oppositional effect. Instead of making her stronger, she'll get weaker." Director Henshaw said when Caitlin handed him a tablet with that detailed information. "What's this?"

"The instructions on what to do to make Blue Kryptonite." Caitlin answered and Director Henshaw looked confused.

"How did you—"

"Naruto." Everyone guessed and they were right.

"If I'm anything, it's prepared for any situation and always with a backup to a backup plan." Naruto stated with pride. "Again, I couldn't know exactly what would happen with Bizarro with the limited information we had but I could make some good, educated guesses. Her being diametrically opposed to Supergirl was a solid possibility so I planned for that. If that doesn't work then hitting her with concentrated yellow sun energy could have a similar effect. If the yellow sun is how Superman and Supergirl get their powers then too much exposure to that could also weaken Bizarro."

"All right. I'll get our scientists on it. Caitlin, care to help?" Alex asked her.

"Sure thing." Caitlin replied, following Alex to the lab.

"I'll go help too." Ronnie went with her followed by Cisco.

"Ok, so we have what we need to stop Bizarro but the question is we need to find her. We knows Maxwell Lord created her so she's likely going to be at Lord Technologies." Supergirl stated.

"Well then I imagine he'll have some serious memory lapses in trying to help her." Naruto took out his MAD device and put it on the table for everyone to see.

"What's that?" Henshaw wondered.

"A Memory Extinguishing Device, or MED, for short. Basically, I created the neuralyzer from Men in Black." Naruto said so nonchalantly like creating a piece of highly advanced scientific equipment was everyday fare for him.

"Really? This thing works?" Barry picked it up but Naruto lowered it so he didn't accidently memory wipe them. "Right, sorry."

"So, Lord doesn't know who I am anymore?" Supergirl asked.

"Nope. While you were dealing with Bizarro I went to confront Lord and get rid of any physical evidence he might have of your secret identity. I baited him during our talk and got him to reveal his true colors and then used this to wipe his memory. I covered my tracks so now he still has his hatred and distrust for Supergirl but has no idea who she is. You are in the clear." Naruto told Kara and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Naruto. Between Lord, Bizarro, Non, and Astra, it seemed like there were more threats out there that I could keep up with. Now, at least I don't have to worry about Lord coming after me or Alex." Kara admitted.

"So does this mean Lord is going to jail?" Barry wondered.

"That could be a bit more challenging, I grant you. He's got a lot of influence and connections that could make putting a solid case against him difficult, which is why I've already taken some precautions to work the court of public opinion. Give it…" Naruto checked his watch to see the time. "…a few hours and we'll have something."

Barry, Kara, and Henshaw looked at one another in confusion, wondering what he could have meant. Guess they would just have to wait and see.

A few hours later…

There was a literal media circus surrounding the headquarters of what was once National City's greatest company. Now? Probably not. Private security and police were keeping the mob of reporters and angry civilians from swarming Lord Technologies. The reason for that was because of a scathing article/expose published by the Daily Planet in a super exclusive.

The Price of Ego: Maxwell Lord's Secrets Revealed

By Clark Kent

Naruto was sitting on a bench across the street from Lord Technologies with a slice of pizza and enjoyed the circus for himself. He knew the information he hacked would be difficult to use in a lawsuit or a criminal case. Fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine and even being hero-related he was sure that Lord's lawyers would do their best to get all the hacked information thrown out of any court case and they could succeed. Even though Lord was behind Ethan Knox's bombing campaign, horrible scientific testing on the comatose girls and in creating Bizarro, convicting him on these charges could be difficult. So, the best thing would be to win in the court of public opinion so publishing all of deeds on the internet for the world to see was part of that but the right piece of journalism next to it would help. He sent Clark all the information along with proof of what Lord did and explained the situation. The result was a damming and powerful exposé on Maxwell Lord painting him as an egotistical sociopath no different than Lex Luthor. Clark went on to condemn Lord's crimes including the theft of the comatose girls who he was more than happy to use in his experiments like lab rats, also the proof that he was responsible for the National City Bomber Ethan Knox and he created Bizarro. He went on to write how Maxwell Lord claims to be doing everything he can for the planet and for humanity but so long as it is him driving the change. He wants to lead humanity into the future, he wants to make humanity better, and he's the only one who can do it but the man is also more than happy to put innocent people's lives on the line for those goals. Someone who epitomized the ends justify the means. Clark Kent wrote a killer exclusive and went on to thank the source who sent him the information, someone who went by the moniker, Impulse.

Immediately the world turned against Lord and his company took a nose dive. Lord Technologies lawyers went into crisis management and Lord himself gave no comment but there was nothing he could to do to stop the world turning against him. Sure, he might not be able to be convicted and sent to jail but losing everything would have to be enough and any kind of evidence he had on Supergirl was done for. Naruto made sure to triple-check and erase his memory of Supergirl's identity and his. Without that level of protection then he was done for. His bank accounts were drained and everything was given to his employees. Naruto wanted justice but was aware that taking down Lord could hurt others so he took care of that. Suffice to say that Lord was done for.

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen…" Naruto smirked in amusement as he saw Lord being escorted out of his building by his security team. The once proud man now had to hide his face with a hat and glasses as civilians cursed him out and reporters tried to get comments. Lord could see Naruto across the street but he had no idea who he was or what he was doing so he didn't care and just got into his car and was driven away.

Naruto left soon after to pick up dinner for everyone at the DEO. Alex and Caitlin finished creating the Blue Kryptonite so it was ready to be used but they still hadn't found Bizarro yet. She was either hiding or on the run but hopefully soon they would find her. Kara still kept up her excuse of family emergency which spared her the drama of dealing with Cat Grant and her opinion on this whole Maxwell Lord debacle. Knowing Cat Grant as he did, Naruto figured she was just pissed that she didn't get the exclusive and the Daily Planet did.

Naruto walked into a Thai restaurant and went to the counter. "Hi. Pick up for Naruto."

"Sure thing. One second." The waiter walked away to get the order and Naruto texted back to the others that he was coming back with food. A few moments later the waiter returned with five large bags of food. Definitely not enough for a speedster let alone two but Naruto would be going to other places to get more. Naruto handed the waiter his credit card to pay for the food and double-checked the bags to make sure they got everything.

[Whoosh of air]

Naruto looked outside and saw Bizarro had landed outside the restaurant. "Everyone, get down!"

Naruto covered a nearby mother and daughter as Bizarro punched in the window to the restaurant with her first before walking in. Immediately, all the civilians hit the floor in fear as Bizarro looked at them in anger but her gaze was on Naruto. "Hey, easy." Naruto stood up with his hands raised. "Don't hurt them, ok. They're innocent."

"You…" Bizarro grabbed him by the throat and flew out of the restaurant with him in her grasp.

An hour later…

[Rattles of chains]

"[Groans of pain]" Naruto slowly woke up and other than the headache and general dizziness associated with a blow to the head he was fine. With his vision clearing up he saw he was in some kind of factory as there were shelves stacked with vacuum-packed bulk items though he couldn't tell exactly what they were which is when he noticed his hands and legs were very cold. He glanced up and saw his hands were duct taped and chained to a forklift which is what he was resting on but they were also encased in a thick block of ice, same with his legs. With his arms and legs bound in ice and smartwatch and phone on the ground, he wasn't in the best situation. His attacker was Bizarro and he saw her standing about twenty feet away with her back facing him. Naruto didn't see his Flash ring with his watch and phone so Bizarro must have left it on his hand which he was slowly losing feeling in because of the ice.

While the ice was an issue he still had his powers so his best bet would be to quickly get free and use Gideon to signal the others while he kept Bizarro occupied. She was fast but he was faster so he took a few deep breaths before he began to vibrate his body. The ice was unfortunately a factor that slowed him down more than normal but if he could build up enough heat to crack the ice he could free his arms.

"No move!" Bizarro turned around and fired a burst of her ice vision and encased his torso in ice.

"AH!" Naruto fought to keep his teeth from chattering. Encased torso in ice definitely wasn't helping things but he wasn't stressing just yet. He still had some chips to play and right now the best bet would be to stall and wait for an opportunity. "Ok. I'm won't move. I won't move." Naruto played the part of the scared victim to hopefully catch Bizarro off guard. He noticed Bizarro looking at him so he decided to keep playing along. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Supergirl care about you. Supergirl loves you." Bizarro said and Naruto was a little thrown off with that.

"How do you know that?" Naruto questioned while also wondering if it was true and not some mental delusion.

"Supergirl and me…same." Bizarro stepped forward so a ray of light illuminated her face and he could see the damage done to her by the green Kryptonite. Just like the others described. Her skin was paler, her skin was cracked in spots like stone, her eyes were black and her visage reverted from Kara's face to that of the comatose Jane Doe. Bizarro noticed him staring so she averted her gaze.

"It's ok. I'm not going to judge you. You can come closer." Naruto told her.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Ugly."

"You're not." Naruto told her but Bizarro kept her gaze away from his. "You know, you're not alone in feeling ugly. We all feel the same way. I've felt it before. We grow up our lives feeling like we're not beautiful enough for others…like maybe we never will be. Like if they see who we really are that they'll shun us for something out of our control. It's not your fault."

He saw Bizarro stop pacing back and forth so he kept talking. "A friend of mine…Gideon…" Naruto enunciated Gideon's name and saw his smartwatch lit up. Thank god he put in some safeguards with the programming. "…she felt the same. And it was Supergirl who helped her." He made sure to enunciate Supergirl as well so Gideon knew who to contact. "And you may not look like her, but there is a part of you that still is Supergirl. No matter what Maxwell Lord did to you or told you about her, it's not what she looks like on the outside or what she can do that make people love her…people love her because of who she is. She is brave, she is kind and she always tries to do the right thing no matter how hard it is. And I know she would help you. You're not a monster."

Naruto's words seemed to get through to Bizarro as she faced him and walked forward a bit. "You…help…me?"

"I will. This isn't your fault. Maxwell Lord did this to you. He is the bad guy." Naruto said.

"But Master Lord…he help me…"

"The fact that he made you call him master proves that he didn't. He was only helping himself." Naruto told her but saw she looked conflicted. "You have no reason to believe me but if a part of you really is Supergirl then you know that I'm telling you the truth."

Bizarro contemplated what Naruto was saying and it seemed as though it was working but she stiffened up and turned her head to the east when she heard the distant sound of rushing wind associated with someone flying at super speed. Bizarro knew who it was and glared at Naruto. "Liar!"

"In all fairness, I can be tricky but still tell the truth." Naruto said and Bizarro unleashed her fire breath in anger. He grit his teeth and toughed through the searing pain of the heat which had the secondary benefit of melting some of the ice. Thankfully he didn't have to deal with the pain for much longer as Supergirl flew in from the roof and landed in the warehouse.

"Stop!"

Bizarro turned to face Supergirl with a glare. "I kill Supergirl!"

Supergirl used her freeze breath which was met by Bizarro's fire breath. The two walked forward to one another until they were in range and exchanged blows. One well-placed kick to the chest sent Bizarro flying out a window only for her to fly back and punch Supergirl into a stack of barrels. Clearly her strength was still augmented by the green Kryptonite.

With Bizarro occupied, Naruto vibrated his body at super speed until he was just a blur. His crimson and white lightning sparked around his body as the blocks of ice around his hands, feet, and torso began to melt quickly until it got to the point where he could break himself free. He removed the chains around his hands and feet and grabbed his watch and phone when he saw a blue breach portal open and out jumped Vibe, Dr. Light, and Flash with the latter holding the arc reactor modular rifle with a blue glowing energy core instead of a green one like last time.

"Here!" Naruto clapped his hands, signaling he was ready for a throw so Flash tossed him the rifle. He put the rifle butt to his shoulder and aimed down the sight as Supergirl and Bizarro fought in the air until the latter began to strangle the former. Naruto pressed the trigger and the rifle fired a small, condensed beam of blue kryptonite energy and hit Bizarro in the back. The cracks in her skin glowed blue before she fell to the ground. Supergirl was able to breathe as she hovered to the ground. "Are you ok?"

"I'm good." Supergirl replied as she picked up Bizarro and Vibe opened up a breach.

DEO Headquarters

Director Henshaw put Bizarro in one of their medical suites where Caitlin could take a look at her. The Blue Kryptonite did the job and weakened Bizarro. She didn't have her powers and was no longer a threat so now they were going to help her. After being checked out by Alex, Supergirl walked into the room to see Director Henshaw and Team Flash waiting for her. "She's been asking for you."

"Supergirl…" Bizarro weakly uttered.

"Hi. I'm here. Hi." Supergirl walked over and held her hand.

"I'm…sorry…"

"I know. I'm sorry, too." Supergirl said and Bizarro smiled.

"We're going to put her under, the way she was when I first saw her." Henshaw told Kara.

"Once she's under, we can begin some gene therapy and reverse what Lord did to her. It'll take a while but it'll work and it may help her regain consciousness in the future." Caitlin added.

"She won't feel any pain, will she?" Supergirl asked and Naruto shook his head.

"No. She won't feel anything. It'll be like going to sleep." He promised and gave Caitlin a nod so she could start.

"I'll hold your hand until you fall asleep, ok?" Supergirl assured Bizarro.

"Afraid…"

"I know. I once went to sleep for a long time, too. I was afraid but when I woke up, I wasn't alone. You're not going to be alone either." Supergirl promised as Caitlin let the solution drip into Bizarro's veins.

"Thank you, Kara." Bizarro closed her eyes and nodded off to sleep. It was a tough moment for everyone, Kara especially.

"She didn't deserve what happened to her." Kara said.

"No, she did not." Henshaw replied.

"Maxwell Lord tried to make her like you…and in a way he succeeded. Deep down, you two were alike. But now…" Naruto gave Alex a large folder of information. "…now we can help her get back to who she was before."

"And that can be done?" Alex looked through the folder of complex medical information and Caitlin gave her a nod.

"It'll take some time. Her body went through a great deal but with Gideon's help we can help her get back to normal and put her on the path to recovery, perhaps even regaining consciousness in the end." Caitlin answered. "Maxwell Lord is good…STAR labs is just better."

"Amen to that." Cisco praised.

"Lord may not be going to jail but with what I did to him, that'll have to be enough. He won't be able to hurt anyone ever again." Naruto said. "For someone so obsessed with letting everyone know he was the best now they all know just what kind of monster he is."

"For Lord, that has to be its own kind of justice." Supergirl said before she walked away. With everything that happened she wanted a moment alone so everyone gave it to her. The mood was crestfallen with Bizarro's capture. Sure, she was now on the road to recovery and Maxwell Lord was no longer a threat and he didn't know Kara's secret identity anymore, but it still felt there was more that could have been done. That was likely just because of recent events bringing the mood down where in other cases everyone would be all happy and celebratory, this one was more somber and reflective.

Naruto walked through the halls of the DEO after handling some logistic work for Director Henshaw and Alex regarding Jane Doe who they would no longer be calling Bizarro. Naruto and Caitlin talked them and their doctors through her treatment plans and everything necessary that would likely be required. Since this kind of genetic therapy was very experimental then it meant it would be a lot of guessing and slow work but thankfully Caitlin and Naruto provided a very comprehensive guidebook that would help the doctors in any problems that could occur. Gideon helped round out their comprehensive bio-mechanics information so that the doctors would know what to do and if there were any serious issues then they could reach Naruto via the ECHO device he left them. He turned a corner and saw Kara sitting in an empty room watching the news covering Maxwell Lord's fall from grace. She looked like she wanted to be alone, which is precisely why he knew she shouldn't be.

"…and still no official statement from Maxwell Lord in light of these staggering allegations of fraud, illegal human testing, and assisting in acts of terrorism. Already an intense state and national outcry is surrounding Lord Technologies which stocks have dropped to a record low as more documents have shined a light on Maxwell Lord's illegal dealing in what the Daily Planet is calling a one-man's acts of war for his ego. No word yet on whether National City's DA or the Attorney General will be pursuing charges against Lord Technologies but already numerous businesses and international companies have distanced themselves from the company. Time will tell how things change for Maxwell Lord, whether they get better or for worse but it is quite clear that a light shining on him has revealed the truth and he cannot hide from that." The newscaster spoke while there were live images of the protests from outside Lord Technologies shown to help emphasize what was going on.

Kara watched with a small sense of satisfaction that Lord lost everything for what he did to Bizarro but still felt like more could have been done. "Not easy to stomach, is it?"

Kara turned around and saw Naruto standing in the doorway. "No, it isn't. Lord deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life for what he did."

"And I agree. I know he'd have a horrible time in prison being someone's pet but putting him there and making him stay are two very different things. Even without his money he's got enough influence to get the charges put against him thrown out of court if he tried hard enough. The difficult part about making all of his bad deeds known is that it makes it hard to use them in a court of law. Fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine." Naruto said as he walked over and sat down across from her.

"I thought your specialty was science. When did you become an expert lawyer?" Kara wondered and he shrugged.

"I had a weekend off so I did some light reading. I could take the Bar Exam if I wanted and ace it and I'm tempted." Naruto joked and Kara chuckled in amusement. "There's a chuckle. Some levity is always good in situations like this. Jane Doe will get better, it'll just take time. And while we weren't able to put Lord in jail the world now knows what he's done thanks to the scathing article your cousin wrote with some help from yours truly. His legacy is tarnished which is one of the only things he cares about, he no longer knows who you are so he can't threaten you and I might have also hacked his back accounts and taken all his money so he is done."

"Naruto!" Kara admonished him for his cyber theft.

"What? The guy was a tool and I didn't take it for me, I split the money equally among all his employees and with the rest I made anonymous donations to various charities. I'm a hero, not an asshole. Lord was a tool but his employees couldn't have known what was he was doing. Well, some of them did so I didn't give them money but everyone else I did. This way they'll be ok while they figure out a new job path that hopefully doesn't have them working for another sociopath." Naruto told her.

"Oh…" Kara smiled when she heard all that. Lord had billions of dollars so knowing he couldn't use it and it was instead being given to people who needed it made her feel good. Taking down Lord would have an unfortunate side effect for the people who worked for him but now they were taken care of. "…well, good job."

"Thank you. Like I said, I'm always prepared for a situation with a backup to a backup plan." Naruto repeated like it was his own personal mantra which in a way it kind of was. "Take the win, Kara. We did good so keep the smile on your face."

"Thanks, Naruto." Kara smiled and Naruto smiled back. "By the way, why did Bizarro kidnap you?"

Kara's question was innocent though it hit Naruto like a brick and his breath got caught in his throat causing him to cough a bit. Kara was a little confused as to why Naruto choked up a bit but he downplayed it as best he could and straightened up.

"Oh, you know. Lord figured out who I was so he must have told Bizarro. She wanted to use me to get to you sort of thing. After I woke up I distracted her until you could arrive." He replied but saw Kara was still giving him a look so he needed a distraction. "Uh, hey, not to change the conversation but isn't your date with Adam supposed to be soon?"

"Oh, god! I forgot!" Supergirl ran out of the room and down the hall but stopped momentarily and looked back. "We'll meet up later, Naruto. How about we all go to Noonan's for happy hour and get free Buffalo wings?"

"We'll be there. Have fun on your date." Naruto gave her a wave before she vanished in a blur of super speed. "Whew, that was close."

"Not exactly your best deflection there, Naruto." Hearing that voice made Naruto stiffen as he turned around and saw Linda standing in the hallway with an amused look on her face. "I know you well enough to know your tricks."

"I uh…I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, please, you may have fooled Kara but not me. What really happened with Bizarro? Why did she take you?" Linda asked and Naruto sighed in defeat. He couldn't lie to her, she'd see right through him.

"Bizarro ended up getting more from Supergirl other than her looks and powers. I'm not sure on the specifics but she definitely feels similar things to her. She could have killed me then and there but she didn't. She said that…she said that Supergirl cares about me, that she loves me." Naruto said and he saw Linda just take that knowledge and let it settle for a second.

"And you believed her?"

"I don't see a reason why I shouldn't. Bizarro didn't seem intelligent enough to fabricate a lie like that and if so, then what for? Perhaps our DNA has more than just our physical traits imbedded and some emotional DNA can be copied as well." Naruto was interested in the science of it when he saw the look Linda was giving him. "But nothing happened with Bizarro or Kara. I swear to you nothing happened. We're just friends and I'm sure the thing with Kara is just us being close. She's never even brought it up to me and it's possible Bizarro misinterpreted—"

Linda put her hand to Naruto's mouth to get him to stop talking. "It's ok, it's ok. I'm not mad."

"You're not?"

"No, of course not. Come here, you." Linda pulled him down and gave him a passionate kiss, their tongues dueling with one another as he held her close and she held his arms. "I can't fault you for being who you are. From what Kara told me you did nothing but be yourself and I can't fault you for that…and I can't fault her for doing the same thing I did."

"Which is…" Naruto was afraid there was a but at the end of that train of thought that would earn him sleeping on the couch.

"Falling for an amazing guy." Linda smiled and Naruto smiled back. "She is brave, funny, likable, and cute while you are charming, intelligent, and a great person to talk to when its needed. It's no wonder she has these feelings even if she doesn't know them."

"Well, from what I'm hearing you might have a little girl crush on Kara and I'm not judging." Naruto promised and she smirked.

"You better not or you may never get another chance at a repeat of what happened in Los Angeles. Who knows? Kara could be that lucky third…" Linda leaned in to his ear. "…and I did tell you I do love blondes."

Naruto shivered from her whispering sweet and spicy words into his ear. "Oh, Linda Park you are trouble."

"And you love me for it." Linda gave him another quick kiss. "But Kara is working things out on her own. Like you said, it could be just some feelings and who knows what could go on with Adam so we'll…" Linda emphasized the we in we'll as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "…see how things play out. Either way, you and I aren't losing a new friend."

Naruto just looked at Linda with nothing but love and admiration in his eyes. "You are amazing."

"I know." Linda smirked as he leaned down and kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you too." The two kissed again, getting a little spicy in the hallway which was thankfully devoid of DEO agents as what they saw definitely wasn't safe for the workplace.

A few hours later…

Team Flash were all at Noonan's, the bar and restaurant that was a staple for Kara's life in National City. They were celebrating a victory over Maxwell Lord with some good drinks and bar food which happened to include free buffalo wings with drinks. Alex had come as well to hang out since she was now no longer on shift and Naruto sent the call and invited Winn and James Olsen from Catco. The latter couldn't come since he had to pick up his girlfriend from the airport but Winn was happy to come and was able to meet Barry and the others. Immediately, Cisco and Winn bonded both by being the resident tech wizards of their respective heroes and the guys in the chairs so they were quizzing each other and learning what they could from how their different teams worked.

"I mean, Barry is great, don't get me wrong. I just met him tonight and he's awesome and Naruto is amazing but Kara has objectively faced off against some top tier villains. I mean, she's been handling Kryptonians regularly." Winn stated with absolute certainty in the little argument he and Cisco were having. Which heroes had better villains? Supergirl or the Flash/Impulse.

"Winn is not wrong there. Kryptonians are not fun to mess with especially when they try to kill you with their heat vision." Naruto agreed, remembering the pain of dealing with Kara's aunt Astra during his first visit.

"Ok, I will give you that. You have aliens so that is a bit unfair but Barry and Naruto have definitely faced more villains than Kara has and they come from a much wider range in the power spectrum. Not only have we had to deal with two evil speedsters…" Cisco made sure to wiggle the two fingers he was holding up for emphasis. "…but we've got metahumans who can turn their bodies into sand, who can control the weather, who can teleport, who can mind control you to go into an uncontrollable rage and those are just the metahumans. We've also got a mad scientist who made an army of evil robot bees, two of the Rogues Captain Cold and Heatwave not to mention we dealt with an evil immortal Egyptian priest and most recently we've had to deal with an evil magic guy hellbent on world domination. Boom! Team Flash is officially cooler."

"Ok…numbers wise you guys have the edge but quality definitely belongs to Team Supergirl and if it wasn't just me here then I would have backup." Winn said as he and Cisco continued their back and forth while everyone just watched in amusement.

"Aww…isn't that sweet. Cisco has someone he can nerd-out with." Caitlin couldn't help but find the scene very cute, like seeing your child meeting someone new and they instantly hit it off.

"Yeah, Cisco's growing up." Ronnie leaned his head against Caitlin's, the two acting like proud parents making Barry, Naruto, and Linda chuckle in amusement.

Linda finished her beer and sat up. "Ok. I'll get the next round." She walked over to the bar and put in their order when she saw the door open and in walked Kara, a little dressed up in her Kara disguise from her date who was not present. "Hey, how was your date with Adam?"

"It was good. We had dinner and we talked while we walked in the park with some ice cream and we bid each other good night." Kara said.

"Really? That's it? You two wouldn't happen to have maybe sealed with the date and good night with a kiss, did you?" Linda acted all playful which worked and got a blush from Kara. "Oh, you did. Well, you're just in time for drinks so tell me everything."

Kara joined Linda on the walk back and everyone welcomed her, especially Winn since he now had another person to support Team Supergirl. Drinks, wings, and laughs with friends was exactly what everyone needed.

The next day…

Naruto, Barry, Linda, Cisco, Caitlin, and Ronnie were gathering up their belongings as they escorted through the DEO with Director Henshaw, Alex, and Supergirl to the exit. Their visit, while fun, was at an end and it was time for them to get going.

"A multiversal vacation? That sounds so fun! Oh, I wish I could go." Kara felt like the idea of visiting other earths sounded like such a great adventure. Sure, Naruto's last multiversal adventure was during some difficult times on his way to try and get home but now that he did and he figured out multiversal travel it was really just for fun.

"I'm not sure I would call it a vacation since we also have been working. Part of it was to introduce you to Linda, Barry, and the others and let you know I was fine but once I told Cisco about the Game of Thrones world I visited he's been pestering me to take him." Naruto admitted.

"And that's where we're going next! Woo!" Cisco jostled Naruto by the shoulders and screamed in his ear in excitement.

"Ok…" Naruto shook his head and wiggled his pinky finger in his ear to alleviate the ringing.

"Oh, I love Game of Thrones." Kara admitted but Naruto gave her a reassuring smile.

"All right, well this isn't going to be a one and done kind of trip. Next time we head there I promise I'll come by so you can visit too." He told her.

"Really?"

"Absolutely." Linda walked up and hugged Naruto from the side. "With Naruto figuring out multiversal travel we can visit whenever we want so if you ever need help or just want to hang out then let us know."

"Linda's right. We can literally be here in an instant so any time you need help then let us know." Naruto told her before looking at Alex and Director Henshaw. "That goes for you two as well."

"We'll be sure to keep that in mind." Alex said before Director Henshaw shook his hand.

"Thank you again for your help, Naruto."

Naruto smiled as he shook Henshaw's hand. "My pleasure, Director. How about next time I introduce you three to my earth and give you a visit of STAR labs. You'll find that you can be a lot more open and free with yourself on my earth."

"I'll keep that in mind. Have a safe trip." Director Henshaw told him before Alex came over and gave him a hug.

"Thanks for all your help, especially with Lord. I'm still kicking myself for letting him get close to Kara." Alex admitted.

"Well, don't. Lord was a leech. Good news is that everyone else knows that now too." Naruto quipped and Alex chuckled before Kara came in with a big warm hug that he reciprocated. "Take care, Kara and if you have any trouble then just give us a call. I updated the ECHO so contacting my earth should be easier than ever."

"I will and feel free to do the same. Supergirl teaming up with the Flash and Impulse was fun so hopefully we can do it again." Kara said.

"We will. We have to show you and Clark the Hall of Justice." Barry added and Kara smiled. She was excited to see the base for their Justice League now that an invitation to join was offered to her and Clark. "And I'm sure Naruto can work up personal interdimensional extrapolators for you and Clark so you can visit when you want."

"The first thing on my list for when we get back home." Naruto promised. "Take care, Kara. Stay safe and let us know if anything comes up.

"You too." Kara gave Naruto a hug before giving one to Linda and then Barry and the others. "Stay safe and please remember me on your next multiversal visit."

"Promise." Naruto gave her a wink before he pressed a few buttons on his smartwatch and a blue breach portal opened. "Till next time."

They walked through the breach portal and it closed behind them but Team Flash wouldn't be strangers. They'd be back to hanging out and fighting crime sooner than you'd think but first was a trip back to Westeros…to see how badly Naruto messed up the canon.

End of Chapter 22

Hey, everyone. Hope you all had good Holiday season. Stayed warm if you're in cold climates and managed to cool off if you're in warm ones. I hope you enjoy the chapter. Naruto helped Kara take down Bizarro and take Maxwell Lord down from his massive pedestal. I always found the guy smarmy which just means the actor did a good job. He's done for which makes you wonder how that will affect things in the future. Well, they will be affected and for sure, Naruto will be there to help Kara. Even when you're on another earth, when you figure out interdimensional travel it makes it easy to get back and forth.

Next chapter, Naruto's multiversal vacation reaches its end as he and the gang head to Earth-899 to the Game of Thrones world to fulfill Cisco's nerd fantasy. And maybe Linda can make some headway on Naruto's freebie list. After that, Naruto and Linda go to visit Earth-29 to visit Sam and Dean Winchester but first end up meeting someone who would like to have a word with them. What's his name again? Chuck? Until next time.

I hope you all had a great year and looking forward to the new year as we've got some great stuff coming out next year. We've had some great end of the year trailers. Karate Kid Legacy was awesome and the new Superman trailer was sick! I'm so excited. I'm loving Creature Commandos so I can't wait to watch Superman take to the Big Screen again! And we've got Captain America: Brave New World. And TV shows as well. Wonderman and Daredevil Born Again, Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms which I'm looking forward too and hopefully Critical Role's Mighty Nein series comes out. I love Vox Machina so hopefully we get Mighty Nien as well. Some things to look forward to as well as GTA 6. Stay safe, everyone and have a Happy New Year.

Updates for January: What if Superman and Mandalorian Maverick Will be updated end of the Month. Blue Wolf and Spider-man will be updated by 1/10. Apologies for the delay, They will be updated. Just need a little more time.
