Almost a million people died and another half a million were harmed by the poisoning last week. It is rumoured that it was the work of a new villain in National City but others think it was just the Black Plague making a sudden appearance. Either way, if you ever feel the symptoms listed right here, please contact your closest hospital immediately for a check-up.

I turned the TV off and stood up, feeling slightly dizzy but maintaining my stance as my police scanner went off. "Three burglars are holding a couple hostage. Back-up needed, now!"

"Time for some crime-fighting," I said to myself. I grabbed my suit and climbed my stairs to my helicopter, where I greeted my pilot and told him to get to the address that was given in the call for back-up. We used the fancy tech that I had 'borrowed' from my last job and we went into invisible mode. I looked out into the night sky and smiled when I felt the cool night wind on my face. I loved flying, it made me feel free. Even if I was stuck in this helicopter.

When we arrived, a SWAT team was surrounding the building and I could tell they were trying to negotiate with the bad guys. I smiled as I jumped down and landed softly on the roof I took off my glider suit and got changed into the bulletproof one. I found where the room was and planted a bomb on top, quickly creeping a few metres away and covering my ears as the large 'boom' shook the whole building.

I dropped down and took out all but one of the bad guys. I looked up at him, he had a blister on his face and an angry look in his eyes. I dodged a few punches before one hit me in the face, right above my eye. I swung my foot around and kicked him in the side, then elbowed him in the face. I was careful not to pop the blister as I was pretty sure it was from the virus. I sighed when I felt the small sting on my eyebrow, knowing it would be hard to explain to Lena and Alex.

(The Next Morning)

"Hey, Kara. Long night?" Alex's eyes narrowed to the left of my forehead as she had just noticed the rather deep cut.

"Yeah, I... fell out of bed." I mentally slapped myself in the face. Nice save, Kara.

"Sure, whatever you tell yourself. Anyways, the guy that the vigilante caught last night..."

"She isn't a vigilante..." I immediately regretted my decision to speak up. "Go on."

"The guy had the virus and that's why he was holding those people hostage. They were negotiating with Maggie's team for hours trying to get the cure."

"Couldn't they have just come to the hospital?"

"That's where it gets maddening," She opened up her phone, showing me a page about the government's new policy, "People now have to pay for this cure. The damn government is making people pay for something that they need to stop themselves from dying from this horrific way."

"That's intense."

"What's worse is that the price is so high, not many people can afford it. That's why this guy was going to drastic measures to get it. His mother and brother both have it too."

"He was just trying to cure his family."

"The repercussions of this new policy... it's sickening. It still doesn't justify trying to steal a thousand dollar cure though."

"Still..." She walked off with a huff.

"Alex, wait! Have you seen Lena today?" She turned and shook her head before turning back and continuing to walk away. Ever since Clarke caught us kissing, Lena has been MIA. What's worse is, Clarke is missing too.
