Even if she was the dispatcher, the situation was so complicated that she wasn't feeling confident enough to commit to those decisions. ++
" I hate bets.. " Narrowing her eyes. ..... She does generally hate things that aren't nearly a 100% gaurantee.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท 3w ago"Hardly keeping a constant watch, it's not like they want the police snipers to be aiming at them either. This will be kind of a bet, probably..."
" What is the likelihood that they see what we're doing right now? " If they're being watched, they only get more suspicious by the minute..
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท 4w ago"Perfect, then. If we explain to them the situation, they could use their make-up crew to make Kara look more sick and weak and add some green for the Kryptonite?"
" Any ideas, Mel? " ..... For once Honey genuinely has no idea what to do here.

@karawot.bsky.social ยท 4w agoKara blinked... a couple of times... until it clicked! "Say what?... Are you crazy?"
" I was planning on it. But how would I convincingly take Kara hostage? Nobody will believe that I defeated her. "
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo."You were part of the Red Ring before, right? Some of the people inside were also part of it... Maybe you could use that to convince them you are on their side? Even better if you get Supergirl as a hostage..."
" Go ahead. " .. She didn't seem very annoyed. Though, internally, she kind of was. Just a little. But as long as Mel had a good plan, she would take it.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo."May I suggest something?~" Yeah she felt a bit smug for having a plan... And she made no effort to hide it....
" Those are the only two plans I can muster. Which would you prefer? " She was mentally bashing herself for not being able to come up with something better..
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."Complicated..." The officer agreed... 'We are still waiting for more intel, but the safety of the hostages is our priority over the bank's structure, so if you have to break things, it won't be an issue.' "Well, that's good to hear, for me at least..."
" Because you aren't going to be here. I'm going to attack using slashes that just barely graze the 'Victims', and you're going to use anything that might look like bIood from a distance to coat the 'Wounds' as I inflict them, without being seen. " .... " Admittedly, this plan greatly hinges

@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."Interesting idea... just two problems, what do I do... and who would believe that I helped you do that?..." The officer had to agree, he knew Supergirl, even if he never saw her personally. "I could hide... underground... but... ah..." ++
" I'm not entirely sure how well this will work then.. Though it's the only thing I can think of at the moment. " She speaks up a bit, allowing the officers to hear as she partially turns towards them. " My idea was to fake the kiIIings of the officers involved here. Provided they're->

@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."See for yourself." The literal next second, Kara was on her other side, it almost felt like she just teleported, but there was a small red and blue streak that appeared.
" Actually, you might be useful. You can move quickly enough that nobody will be able to see you, right? "
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."Me staying here would make it difficult for you to get their sympathy either... I'm well known, unfortunately. Maybe I should stay semi hidden around?"
" That, I'm still putting together. We can't just walk in through the doors or windows. And breaking in through another entrance would make it difficult to believe we're allies.. "
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo.In the last case scenario, Kara would have to be very fast... faster than she allowed herself to be inside of cities. But broken windows and concrete won't be worse than the alternative... "All right, agreed...so how do you want to approach it?"
"I'm suggesting deceit. Obviously if we go in there giving off the impression that we're there to detain them, they're going to kiII hostages. There's no way to get close quickly enough to save them, especially if we don't know who has the detonator. We need to play this very carefully. "
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."YOU are suggesting communication?" She turned towards her with a surprised expression.
.... Honey just stands there. Calculating the best course of action.. " We should approach nonviolently and get them to lower their guards by playing along with them. "
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."There is a risk that they can detonate the explosives separately... We go in, they explode one as a punishment, and keep the others as contingency. So far only easier way to get in is literally through the wall... I'm having a hard time trying to find who has the trigger..."
Honey immediately turned to Kara. " Do you know another way we can enter without the criminals knowing? I have a feeling they won't be so trigger happy with the explosives. They'll lose their advantage if they actually go through with kiIIing them all. But the less risks we take, the better. "
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo.'Are you two from SDN?' He asked both, and Kara just nodded. 'Good... The situation has been like this for the past half an hour. We tried to enter into contact with the people inside many times, in many ways, but they refused to communicate. ++
Honey slowed to a stop, and deactivated her power. Then she walks up to the one in charge. Not.. Trying very hard to not look threatening. This was just how she normally looks.. ๐ง " Could you provide me with details regarding the current situation? "
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo."Juuuust double checking!" Kara started to slow down when they approached the bank... Landing next to the person who seemed responsible for the situation there, but she will leave Honey to do the talking, since this is what Mel wanted.
" Of course I know I'm human. " .. Raising an eyebrow from under the mask.
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo.Kara smiled and was right besides her, keeping up and flying towards the bank too. "By the way, you do know you are a human, right?"
.. If Kara could see her face, Honey looked almost offended. " I can handle high stakes missions. This is what I'm built for. " Honey. You were not built. You are a human being. " We shouldn't waste any time. " Honey charges out of the building, leaving a golden trail behind.
๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
@karawot.bsky.social ยท last mo.Kara nodded, that wasn't a situation she would just fuck aroundโฆ She turned at Honey. "Are you up for this? Higher stakes than what we did so far."
" So the situation is under control? " That's good news.. " We'll make sure it stays that way, then. " She's getting ready to leave. But she doesn't race off just yet, in case Mel has anytihng to add on.

" ... This seems like a massive operation. I haven't seen anything on this scale since Shroud was kiIIed. Are they remnants of the Red Ring? Or perhaps another group trying to take their place? " Concerning indeed. This isn't something you see from a bunch of regular old low lifes.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo.villains and criminals very well organized, hostages and explosives armed. "We just got the call about this situation."
Honey wouldn't take long to show up to the terminal. She's not as fast as Supergirl, but she's sitll Fast.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo."Then come to my terminal, something big came up, and I need to show you two. Supergirl is here already."
Perfect. That means she CAN handle anything that will benefit from her mask. Of course, Honey would respond immediately. " I'm available. " Is she ever not-?
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo.It would, if they can fix a Mech, they can fix her mask. After half an hour when the mask had been fixed already, Mel entered contact. "Need both of you here."
That probably gives plenty of time for Honey to have her mask fixed. It should be operational again by the next dispatch.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo.Meanwhile, Mel returned to her terminal and went to work... She wanted something big, but that required a bit of luck. Luck and begging... So she will use the fact she had Supergirl on her team for now to convince other dispatchers to leave any big emergency to her.
" Understood. " Hopefully it's nothing that would benefit from the advanced vision and recording capabilities that her mask provides. She's going to take it over to Roy and see if he has anything on hand. If anyone here has the supplies to fix it, it's him.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo.Mel nodded her head and gave her a smile. "All right then Glimmer, stay put and get ready, I'll send you two as soon as I see something big for us, okay?"
" I don't mind. " It's been 50/50 with Kara at least. One of them was annoying, the other she didn't fuck around.
๐๐๐๐ง๐๐โ๐@luckystarmel.bsky.social ยท last mo."Well... We can still finish today's shift and see where it goes, all right? Is it okay if I send you both together for another dispatch?" Wanted to make sure it was fine to continue.
" I don't hate it. It's just new territory for me. " She had no reason to lie, of course. .... But people have never really been her thing. Could she say it was inefficient? Maybe. She does have heroes that are better with people, after all. Honey doesn't NEED to be one of them. But she->
