jla_watchtowerDegaton's command ship -- a warship appropriated from the Warlords of Okaara -- hovers, like the rest of Vanishing Point, in a temporal "pocket." To do so otherwise would risk sliding into the future ... into the last remaining moments of the universe.
Consequently, the battle outside of his window is happening entirely at one precise instant ... a moment literally frozen in time. Degaton throws back his head. Sometimes temporal mechanics leave even his head hurting.
The soldiers and engineers around him are impassive, but the man himself is pensive, concerned at the raging war.
"How did Hunter raise an army so quickly?" he muses, but no one dares answer, nor does he expect them to. "No matter. Our forces are inside Vanishing Point, and when it is mine, we can execute the last chronal alterations ... stabilize the altered timelines into one coherent series of events. Rewrite history in my image."
HAIL DEGATON! the soldiers shout on cue. And at that, Degaton smiles.
"Yes," he says. "Hail Degaton. ... And if Hunter and his allies win."
He shrugs.
"There's always the backup plan."
There is no cheering at that. Indeed, the soldiers seem chilled to the bone.

Worse, he knows of other possibilities here ... if the technology holding time steady in this place falls, if their relatie time begins ...
What lies ahead is nothing less than the end of the universe.

Fury.
Power Girl screams out the name of the man who she had once believed was her grandfather.
Tears don't leave her eyes. Not yet.
First she has villains to deal with.
Her eyes glowing with the power of Krypton's red sun, Kara Zor-L triples her attack on those around her.
