Crumbled walls\nwere leaving big holes. A partially caved-in roof. Broken and cracked windows.\nShe clutched a note in her fist, crumpling it into a ball.</p>\n<p><em>'Meet me at these coordinates. We should talk. Diana.'</em></p>\n<p>\"Why would she meet here? This smells like a trap.\"</p>\n<p>It had been several months since Diana, or Wonder Woman as most people knew her,\nsevered all ties with the Justice League. Most just assumed she was tired of\nfighting, and retired to her home island for a break. But something in the back\nof Power Girl's head said otherwise. She approached the nearest door, a heavy\nrusted sliding door big enough to allow trucks to enter and leave, and slid it\nopen with a casual wave of her hand.</p>\n<p>The inside of the warehouse was spacious, dusty, and littered with discarded\nbits and pieces. Immediately, she saw who she was looking for. Diana was sitting\non a crate in the middle of the room. One leg crossed over the other. She was\ndrinking from a cup, and judging from the steam coming from the cup, it was\nprobably hot. A thermos stood beside her, as well as a second cup. She looked\nexactly as she remembered. Long curly black hair. A straight Greek-styled\nlongsword on her back. A lasso made from softly glowing golden rope hung at her\nwaist. The only difference was the clothes she wore. Gone was the revealing red\nblue and gold armour she was known for. Instead, it was a more practical set of\nmodern-styled armour akin to those worn by spec-ops commandos. And the colours\nwere not red blue or gold. They were the colours of Pravum.</p>\n<p>Diana looked towards the door, and upon seeing Powergirl, a small smile formed\non her lips.</p>\n<p>\"Karen. Glad you could join me. Please, sit. Have some tea.\"</p>\n<p>Karen cautiously walked towards her fellow crime fighter. She never dropped her\nguard, even as she watched Diana take the thermos and fill the second cup.\nPravum's reputation was well-known by now. She took the cup, and the scent of\nsweet expertly brewn tea wafted up from it. She remained standing though,\nsomething still felt off.</p>\n<p>\"I was wondering why you called me here, after all this time. But seeing you\nnow. I guess the rumours were true. You switched sides. Why? You were so adamant\nagainst them at the start. What changed?\"</p>\n<p>Seeing as Power Girl was not going to sit, nor drink her tea, Diana put her cup\ndown and got to her feet.</p>\n<p>\"What changed, was that they showed me what they could do. When they captured\nme, I resisted their attempts to break me. Successfully, I might add. So\ninstead, they made a promise. My allegiance, my loyalty. In exchange for\nThemyscira's protection. And you know me, everything for my sister's safety.\nBesides, once you get to know the organisation a bit better, they're not all\nbad. Sure, you can argue and debate about how they go about it, but they always\nact with the safety and protection of regular people in mind. And you can't deny\nthat many a world has become a better place since they rose to power.\"</p>\n<p>\"So you sold out? And I'm not saying you're wrong. But more than a few of us\nhave been taken against their will. Good people. Good friends. YOUR friends. Or\nhave you forgotten?\"</p>\n<p>\"I have not, believe me. But we only take people by force if they refuse to see\nreason. So please, Karen, see some reason and join us. You'll still be fighting\ncrime. You'll still be protecting the innocent. You'll just be doing it\nofficially and with plenty of good people at your side.\"</p>\n<p>Karen looked at Wonder Woman. Then down at the smoking cup of tea still in her\nhand.</p>\n<p>\"You know, as tempting as that all sounds.\"</p>\n<p>She took the cup and downed the searing hot beverage.</p>\n<p>\"But I'm not one to follow orders. As you well know. And I doubt an organisation\nlike Pravum would tolerate someone like me going off alone. So I'll have to\ndecline.\"</p>\n<p>Karen walked towards the crate and put the cup down next to Diana's. The two\nlocked eyes for a moment, and she could see the disappointment in Wonderwoman's\neyes.</p>\n<p>\"I'm sorry you think that way. I guess I should have expected it, but it was at\nleast worth a try.\"</p>\n<p>\"Yeah, well. Points for trying I guess. But if that's all, then I'll be going\nnow.\"</p>\n<p>Power Girl turned around and rose in the air, intent to fly away through one of\nthe many holes in the roof. She was stopped when Diana grabbed her wrist.</p>\n<p>\"I'm sorry Karen, but I can't let that happen. This was your one chance to come\nalong peacefully.\"</p>\n<p>With a practised throw, Diana threw Power Girl across the room, against an old\nforklift. The machine dented from the force, leaving a distinct Powergirl-shaped\nindentation. Eyes filled with rage and betrayal, Power Girl flew across the room\nstraight for Wonder Woman. Taking her fighting stance, Diana drew her sword from\nher back and readied herself for the coming fight.</p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Nearby, on the roof of a building.</strong></p>\n<p>\"So how long are we supposed to wait?\"</p>\n<p>\"Until we have confirmation whether or not miss big tits is going to cooperate\nor not.\"</p>\n<p>A loud crash came from the old warehouse across the street, drawing the two\nFemale soldier's attention.</p>\n<p>\"You'd think that's a no?\"</p>\n<p>The other one snorted and readied a large calibre sniper rifle on the balustrade\nof the rooftop.</p>\n<p>\"I'd be seriously surprised if it isn't.\"</p>\n<p>She looked through the scope and switched to the thermal setting. Immediately,\nshe saw the heat signatures of two individuals fighting each other.</p>\n<p>\"Oh yeah, that's a no. Get ready Ghost, it's more than possible blondie's\ngirlfriend is around to help.\"</p>\n<p>The other woman got up and straightened out to stretch out the kinks from\nsitting in hiding for so long. Afterwards, she did a glance around the area, her\nlight blue eyes scanning her surroundings but finding nothing out of the\nordinary. A loud bang drowned out all other sounds, as the sniper took a shot at\nthe two combatants. The calibre of the rifle was big enough that the large\nanti-tank bullet took out a sizeable chunk of the crumbling wall. Normally,\nbullets this size weren't allowed to be used on living creatures, their power\nstrong enough to brutally maim and dismember anything it was shot at. But when\ndealing with Kryptonians, Anti-tank rounds are where you start. And usually,\nthose weren't enough. But they had a plan, and the sniper was an integral part\nof it.</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Inside the warehouse, Power Girl's enhanced hearing picked up the rifle fire and\nshe briefly turned her head to look in the direction of the sound. Her\ninfravision saw the two female soldiers on the top of a building, and she was\njust in time to see the rifle flare up and a bullet was coming her way at high\nspeed. She jumped back to avoid it, and the bullet hit the ground with enough\nforce to strike a crater in the concrete foundation of the warehouse.</p>\n<p>\"Really, princess? Backup? Can't handle me on your own?\"</p>\n<p>Keeping her ears trained on the sniper, she heard the distinct sound of a bullet\nbeing loaded and from the corner of her eye, saw the sniper pulling back the\nbolt to complete the reloading before aiming. At the same time, Diana launched\nherself at Power Girl, and the two once more engaged in a dangerous high-speed\nflurry of blows and sword strikes.</p>\n<p><em>BANG</em></p>\n<p>Again the sniper fired, and this time, the bullet managed to hit the blonde\nsuperheroine. It did no damage of course, but the high calibre round still\nmanaged to sting slightly, and the force of the impact was enough to throw her\noff balance. A distraction her opponent capitalized on by pressing her attack.</p>\n<p>\"This is getting us nowhere. I need to get rid of that sniper, and then put\nDiana down so I can get her some help.\"</p>\n<p><em>BANG</em></p>\n<p>Again, the sniper fired a shot. Power Girl had to admit, the woman was a good\nshot. Quick on the reload, and equally quick to aim at a moving target. Too bad\nher target had superhuman reflexes and senses. She grabbed Diana's sword arm and\nmoved the blade in the path of the bullet with a quick tug. It hit with a\nresounding <em>CLANG</em>, and the force of it blew the blade from Diana's hand. Both\nwomen jumped back, each taking a moment to regain their bearings and take in\ntheir opponent.</p>\n<p>\"You sure you want to keep doing this Diana? You know you can't defeat me like\nthis?\"</p>\n<p>Across from her, Wonder Woman gave a soft smile.</p>\n<p>\"You know I will. Like you, I can be quite stubborn as well. Besides, this\nshouldn't be much longer.\"</p>\n<p>\"Why, because of your friends across the street? You know they can't hurt me.\"</p>\n<p><em>BANG</em></p>\n<p>To emphasize her point, Power Girl's hand shot up with lightning speed, and she\nsnatched the bullet from the air before it could hit her in the side of her\nhead. Looking at it briefly, she noticed it was almost as large as her hand, and\nwould be quite lethal under normal circumstances. Using her thumb, she flicked\nthe bullet back towards where she knew the sniper team was and smirked when her\nenhanced vision saw them jump away as their spot was obliterated by the bullet.</p>\n<hr>\n<p>On the roof, the soldier identified as \"Ghost\" suddenly jumped into action, and\npulled her partner out of the way as the spot she just occupied became a\ncrumbling hole when the bullet she just fired was \"shot\" back.</p>\n<p>\"Whoef. Thanks, ghost. That was pretty close. But we got her where we want.\"</p>\n<p>She gave the other woman a quick peck on the cheek, before taking another\nposition and aiming her rifle. This time, though, she pulled out a special\ncanister from her belt. She emptied it into her hand, to reveal a special kind\nof bullet.</p>\n<p>Instead of brass and tungsten, it was made from crystallized stone and shone\nfaintly with a soft golden light. She loaded the bullet into her rifle and aimed\nonce again.</p>\n<hr>\n<p>Power Girl and Wonder Woman were still eyeing each other up. Neither woman was\neager to jump back into the fight, but both were too proud to give up. Power\nGirl heard the sniper load another bullet, and the loud deafening sound of the\nshot echoed through the night. Again, her hand shot out to snatch the bullet out\nof the air.</p>\n<p>She realized her mistake a split second after her hand closed around the bullet.\nIn an instant, her powers left her. She screamed in pain as the last bits of\nmomentum from the bullet tore through her hand, leaving deep burning gashes in\nher palm. She sank to her knees, clutching her now bleeding hand while gasping\nfor air. The feeling of helplessness stayed with her, and she looked around for\nits source. She found it lying on the floor between herself and Wonder Woman.</p>\n<p>A bullet made from golden kryptonite. It's rare depowering abilities the reason\nfor her sudden wounds and pain. She had to get out, now. Using the last bits of\nher rapidly fading powers, she rose into the air in a panicked attempt to escape\nthe warehouse. Something wrapped around her foot, stopping her ascend. As she\nlooked down, she saw Diana's lasso snagged around her foot, its golden glow\nsoftly glowing. With a sharp pull, she was pulled back down, landing painfully\non the concrete. Diana approached the downed Kryptonian, and squeezed the\npartially shattered kryptonite bullet between Powergirl's tits, causing the\nblonde woman to groan softly.</p>\n<p>\"You should have taken me up on our offer when you had the chance, Karen. Now it\nis too late.\"</p>\n<p>With a final kick to the face, Power Girl's world went black as she lost\nconsciousness.</p>\n<p>The doors opened once again, and a tall muscular black woman walked in followed\nshortly by the two women from across the street. The black woman retrieved the\ncollar from her belt and placed it quickly around the unconscious Powergirl's\nneck. The collar blinked red once, before turning green indicating its power\nsuppressing was now active. Thick heavy cuffs locked her arms and legs together,\nfurther ensuring the depowered superheroine would be going nowhere in the\nunlikely event she would wake up before being secured for transport.</p>\n<p>They were just about ready to leave when the ground around them began to rumble\nand stone pillars broke through the concrete creating sharp spears where the\nfour soldiers stood.</p>\n<p>They all managed to jump away in time, courtesy of Ghost's precognitive\nabilities to sense danger.</p>\n<p>\"You get away from her. Right now.\"</p>\n<p>Coming from the hole in the roof, was Powergirl's friend and ally, Atlee.\nStanding on a slab of stone, levitated by her earth-controlling powers, she\nfloated down. A large block of stone hung around her, poised to strike whoever\nposed a threat to her or her friends.</p>\n<p>\"Leave, before I crush you all.\"</p>\n<p>The black woman, clearly the leader of the group, instead grabbed Powergirl by\nher hair and lifted her face off the ground.</p>\n<p>\"Now we could do that. Or...\"</p>\n<p>A sharp knife appeared in her other hand and was held against the sleeping\nwoman's exposed neck.</p>\n<p>\"You surrender now before something unfortunate happens to your friend.\"</p>\n<p>Atlee hesitated briefly, and that was all the opening the rest needed. Diana\nflew towards her and delivered a jaw-shattering punch to Atlee's face, blowing\nthe young woman off her pedestal. In mid-air, sticky webbing began to encase her\narms and feet. By the time the black-haired woman hit the ground painfully, she\nwas almost fully encased in webbing, and no amount of struggling could help her\nescape. She looked at the soldiers around her, and a stone block rose in the\nair, determined to go down fighting if nothing else. Something closed around her\nneck, and a second later, she felt all her power leave her. The stone block fell\nto the ground with a loud crash and a wave of painful electricity surged through\nher body when she tried to lift it again.</p>\n<p>\"Good job girls. I've already contacted headquarters and evac is on the way.\"</p>\n<p>The leader looked at Atlee, still struggling futilely against the webbing\nholding her.</p>\n<p>\"Guess we got two for the price of one today.\"</p>\n<p>Atlee looked towards her unconscious friend with fear, before a sharp pain to\nthe side of her head knocked her out as well</p>","frontmatter":{"text":"Powergirl captured","tags":["Atlee","Power Girl","Wonder Woman"],"date":"6/16/2026","part":"1"},"excerpt":"Outside an abandoned warehouse.
