Clark flew through the air, whistling past Khund landing ships and fighters raining down on the streets of Metropolis. Twin beams of red light leapt out from his eyes as he disabled the helicopter sized craft, forcing them into hard landings where other members of the League and the national guard worked together in rounding the aliens up.
The Justice League had formed during the Khund invasion when the world's greatest heroes banded together to take on a threat greater than any one of them could face on their own. Still, there had been several close calls, especially while facing down the Khund aboard their own motherships. Or carriers, or whatever they were called. This was just the last mopping up action in the last city. Clark's city, Metropolis.
His x-ray vision had been key in finding the weak spots in the khundian crafts. Hitting those weak spots with pinpoint fire with his heat vision was the easy spot.
Then he spotted something. Batgirl? Batwoman? Whatever she was calling herself, she was using her future battle armor to eliminate the Khund fighters too, but she didn't see one craft get off a missile attack from quite a distance away.
Clark poured on the speed, breaking the sound barrier and intercepting the missile with his own l, mostly invulnerable chest. The explosion sent him careening off, and it took all his concentration to pull up and land on a roof instead of slamming into the building itself. He bounced a few times and rolled to a stop. Invulnerable or not, he felt that.
He shook his head to clear it and looked up. Batgirl had retaliated, taking the ship out that had attempted to eliminate her. Clark took a moment to scan the sky. That was it, no more Khund ships. He sat there a moment, catching his breath.
Batgirl landed on the roof next to him and walked over. Clark gave her an easy smile. Damn she looked good in that form fitting armor.
"Nice job there Bats."
