A Leap of Faith (Part 3)

Chapter 454 - Satellite Debris

Kara and J'onn now approach the satellite that is falling down to earth, having now flown about 100 miles up in the air. It is very easy for Kara and J'onn to spot the satellite, because they see that parts of it are already burning up as it starts to make its way down towards earth's lower atmosphere. Right now, it looks like the bulk of the satellite is intact, with the large main module and one solar panel wing still attached to the main bit of the satellite still. However, Kara and J'onn both know that that can change, very quickly. At the same time though, Kara and J'onn can see that the part of the satellite that has split off does create some concern, as with every moment that passes it looks like more and more of that part of the satellite is breaking off, creating more and more potential hazardous debris that is falling to Earth.

"You deal with that." J'onn says, pointing to the debris that have broken off from the main part of the satellite, "I will try and deal with the main part!"

"I'm stronger!" Kara shouts, with it being hard to hear right now, even with Kara's hearing.

"I know! I don't have heat vision though! You need to use it to break the satellite into smaller and smaller chunks, so it becomes completely harmless when it hits Earth! There is no way of stopping that now! It's too burnt up already!" J'onn replies.

"Okay! I'll try! Good luck!" Kara says.

Kara now flies off in the direction of the debris that has broken off the satellite, while J'onn focuses his attention on the main part of the satellite.

As Kara approaches the debris, she sees that she is flying further and further away from where she and J'onn where first together, with the two obviously drifting apart as they fly down to earth, along with these parts of the satellite. Right now Kara already estimates that she and J'onn are about a mile apart from each other, and they will only get further apart as they continue to try and stop these debris from causing any harm to the people, or animals, down below them on the Earth's surface. So, because of all this, Kara knows that she and J'onn are both going to have to deal with each parts of their debris of this satellite, on their own, as they are too far apart to call for help.

Kara now focuses her attention, and quickly springs into action, using her heat vision on the smaller parts of the debris first, deciding that that will be easier. In doing this, Kara has to use her heat vision on the small bits of debris several times, making the parts smaller and smaller as she does, all while the parts continue to burn up as they go crashing down towards earth. Thankfully, after about a minute, most of the small bits of debris have been broken into small enough pieces that they won't hurt anyone anymore, as they will completely burn up as they continue to get closer to the Earth's surface. Now though, Kara has to turn her attention to the main bit of the satellite, which unfortunately still has bits breaking off of it, but thankfully not that many. So, Kara now knows that she has to find a way to deal with this last chunk of big debris, without it breaking apart into millions of pieces. If the latter happens, then Kara knows that it will just increase the difficulty of what she is doing, as the other pieces could fly apart, spreading out far and wide, so far that Kara is unable to reach all the debris before they hit earth. Due to this, Kara, once more, knows she needs to quickly act, so flies towards the large chunk of debris, and slowly begins to slow the rate that it is falling back down to earth, down. As Kara does this, knowing that the main reason that the debris is breaking apart is due to the heat that is building up around it as it comes crashing back down to earth, Kara uses her freeze breath to just try and cool the large chunk of debris down, all while continuing to slow it down. Eventually, after a few moments, Kara is successful in what she is doing, and slows the large part of debris down enough so that it is now moving at a much slower rate, and no longer breaking apart. Of course, even though Kara knows that she has done this, it is not like she can now just let go, and everything will be okay, as as soon as she does, the debris will start to pick up pace again as it falls back down to the Earth's surface. To prevent this, Kara now begins to fly the satellite debris down to earth, at a reasonable rate, just slow enough so that large chunk of debris isn't overheating and breaking apart into smaller pieces. As Kara does this, she spots a few more small bits of debris, and uses her heat vision to break them apart as she continues to fly the large bit of debris back down to earth.
