Chapter 173: Chapter 169: Cadmus



[3rd POV - Talia Morningstar]

With the knowledge that Corben had seemingly made it out of prison, and now had a piece of Kryptonite in his chest, Talia made her way to the DEO, knowing that Cadmus would become an annoyance if it wasn't dealt with in a timely manner. Corben, also known as Metallo, was one of two "Metallo's" with the other one being created by Lillian Luthor, this other Metallo would attack Metropolis should she not intervene.

Reappearing in the middle of the DEO, which scared the hell out of the agents in the area, Talia turned and found Alex, Winn, J'onn, Clark, and Kara all standing in the surveillance area.

"Solaris? Where have you been?" Alex asked, having not seen the woman all day, which was unusual as she would usually appear when something or someone like Metallo would make an appearance, especially when it involved Kara getting harmed.

"Taking care of some personal business. But it seems that you've run into a rather interesting foe while I've been gone" Talia said as she looked at the screen that had a photo of Corben with the Kryptonite piece in his chest.

"Yeah that's an understatement. Mr Metallo here is a bit of a problem considering their weakness to Kryptonite" Winn said with a sigh before continuing "I've been working on a suit that can help with the effects, but it's going to take a bit to complete something like that, time we don't exactly have"

"Not a problem. Kara's long since been immune to the effects of Kryptonite thanks to myself, and I'm sure I can buff up Supes' suit and give him a higher resistance to Kryptonite" Talia said, waving off their worries in regards to the Kryptonite.

"Wait really?!" Kara exclaimed in surprise as she hadn't exactly noticed it. She was so used to Kryptonite being her main weakness, that she hadn't even realized that it no longer affected her anymore.

The others looked surprised at this piece of information, as they too didn't know anything about this. But the fact that Talia could seemingly give Kara immunity to something that used to weaken her so much, was a shock, even knowing how powerful Talia truly was.

"Yep, I did it a while ago, so I guess it's not a surprise that you haven't realized yet. Not even the Red Sun will harm you anymore" Talia replied with a smile, while the others looked even more surprised at this piece of news.

"It'd be best that you don't let anyone know of this, especially not the Government. Should they find out that you are no longer affected by any of your former weaknesses...they may not be very...welcoming of the change" J'onn spoke out, knowing that should people know that Kara was no longer weak to...much of anything anymore, it could cause some serious problems, especially with the government.

"That...probably would be smart" Winn muttered, as he had watched enough movies to know what sort of reaction they would have.

"And how did you manage to do that?" Clark asked on the side, wondering how she found a way of granting Kara immunity to both Kryptonite and the Red Sun, something not even the best Kryptonian technology could accomplish. The Kryptonians of old had been researching it for centuries and never figured it out, and yet, it seemed that Talia had figured it out within only a couple of years, if that.

"A whole lot of genetic research, and technology far beyond anything you could understand" This was bullshit, but it was believable bullshit. The truth involved a whole lot of magic and a bit of science. Magic and science that not many others would be able to replicate properly, especially when considering the power that was needed to even accomplish it.

"Actually, I've been meaning to ask, how smart are you? Like, I know that your species are all basically walking supercomputers, but like, how do you compare to them?" Winn asked, he had been wondering about this for quite some time now, but now he had a proper reason to ask.

"Hmm, in comparison to the rest of my race? I am the smartest of them in pure processing speeds, but I am not as knowledgeable as the Doctor, they're still beyond me, even if only by a little" Talia replied, it was true...if not including the knowledge she had access to from the Mind Stone, and the Cyberium, add in those two, and she was pretty confident in being beyond even the Doctor, even if she didn't utilize that intelligence as much as they did.

Winn's eyes widened at this piece of information, as he knew that the Timelords were...immensely intelligent, and to hear that Talia was smarter than just about their entire species, was a shock. He knew she was smart, but not that smart.

"Anyways, onto more important topics, that being Cadmus, I can find their spy, if you want me to" Talia said, deciding to move on to a different topic, as they had talked about her and Kara's new immunity to Kryptonite for long enough.

"You can?" Alex asked.

"You forget that I can read minds, Alex. And not including that, I can also sense the intentions, emotions, and even personalities of others, and I can tell you confidently that Agent McGill is the rat who is working with Cadmus and Corben" Talia replied, before continuing further.

"I also know that there is another "Metallo" out there that plans on attacking Metropolis, and before you ask, yes, I'm having one of my clones dealing with that little problem, you won't have to worry about any of that crap within the next 20 minutes or so" Talia added, knowing that a second Metallo was going to sprout up, and if it didn't get stopped early, then it could lead to the deaths of a few people in Metropolis.

"Do you have any idea who runs Cadmus?" J'onn asked. He knew that only one person would know this sort of thing already, that being Talia.

"I've got an idea on who it is, but I'll make sure it's confirmed before telling you" Talia replied. If she had told them outright that it was Lillian Luthor, then Lena would likely get implicated with her mothers crimes, even if she wasn't involved at all, all because she was a Luthor.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Why not tell us of your suspicions?" Alex asked, a bit confused on why Talia was keeping that piece of information from them.

"Because it would do more harm than good, should it not be true" Talia replied bluntly, knowing that it would cause some serious issues should she tell them now, instead of waiting until she had all the evidence needed against Lillian.

"You will keep an eye on them at least, right? Just to make sure they don't do anything out of nowhere?" Winn asked, hoping that Talia wouldn't just let them commit crimes in order to prove that they were a part of cadmus.

"Of course, the second they even try anything I'll stop them, trust me" Talia replied with a chuckle, before turning to J'onn.

"The Metallo's should be taken in by one of my clones soon, so...what'll we do about the rat?" Talia asked as she stared at the martian, only for Alex to smirk on the side and speak.

"...I think I've got a few ideas"
