Meanwhile, high above the Earth, a cape with a very familiar "S" symbol on it flaps in space. But the person wearing it is noy Superman. It is a short- haired blond girl. It was Kara. She smiles at how beautiful the world looks from above before she takes off at Superman speed. She lands in Kahndaq, home of Black Adam. Kara touches down softly, wearing Superman's symol. As she lands, Black Adam hovers in, a sour look on his face. Then Wonder Woman flies in by Adam's side, also a bit angry. 

Wonder Woman: Kara! Where were you?! 

Supergirl: Just... in the clouds... listening... 

Black Adam: If someone saw you... 

Wonder Woman: How many times have we told you?! It's too dangerous outside Kahndaq! 

Supergirl sighs.

supergirl: I spent decades lost in space, stuck in hypersleep until Adam found my ship. But now, I'm cooped up here. 

Wonder Woman: How can we make you more comfortable? 

Supergirl: Let me out, Diana, you've taught me what my powers can do. This world needs help. Earth's people are so divided. They're always fighting... 

Wonder Woman: That's the world without Kal-El. 

She takes Supergirl's hands.

Wonder Woman: Batman and Dark Avian has eyes everywhere. They can't know about you before we're ready. 

Supergirl pulls her hands away.

Supergirl: I'm not afraid of some guys in masks! Ugh! I can bend steel with my bare hands! 

Wonder Woman: So could your cousin. 

Supergirl: Well... well, what good are these powers if I can't even help Kal- El?! 

Black Adam: We well, Kara. Just like you and I freed Diana from Themyscira. 

Wonder Woman: The time will come. We will save Kal-El, and Batman and his son will answer to us! 

This seems to satisfy Supergirl; she smiles confidently.

On the BatJet, Black Canary and Green Arrow are being debriefed by Bruce Wayne over a video screen in the cockpit. Harley and Y/N are flying. 

Bruce: Our best chance to stop Grodd is a preemptive strike. 

Green Arrow: Sounds more military than vigilante. You try calling the Army? 

Bruce: There is no Army... not yet. To break up the Regime, we had to start from the ground up. 

Green Arrow: So...what? Us three extradite Grodd from under his entire gorilla army?! 

Bruce: Grodd's their Alpha. Take him down and the others will submit. But be wary of running into other members of the Society. They're more coordinated than we knew. 

Black Canary: Next stop, Gorilla City. 

Green Arrow: Guess I'd better call the sitter. Mommy and Daddy are coming home late. 

He gets up and goes to the back of the let to make the call. 

Bruce: If... this is more than you and Ollie are comfortable with, Dinah, I'll have Blue Beetle and Firestorm take over. 

Black Canary: No. We can do this. 

Bruce: You've been out of the fight a long time. You have a family. 

Black Canary: You're family, too, Bruce. I couldn't be there to finish the fight against Superman. I'm damn sure finishing this one. 

Later, in Gorilla City, a sort of "pep rally" has been assembled amid the gorillas there. The four heroes sneak behind them to watch. Gorilla Grodd marches up some steps to the stage like he's Patton...and the crowd goes silent as he approaches them.
