[ She's dealt with these disgusting things enough times now to figure out that once they latch on, they're even harder to pry off — not impossible, for someone with her strength, but considerably harder, and she risks doing damage to the person they've attached themselves to in the process. She doesn't want to inadvertently hurt anyone if she can help it, and the best course of action she can see here is to try and see if she's fast enough to grab and crush them before they have a chance to open their mouths and sink their teeth in.
But once she's down on the ground, toes skimming the pavement slightly before she finally drops to stand, she picks up on the sound of slithering all around them, realizing that the maggots won't necessarily be confused by the prospect of more than one person to feed on. If anything, they're going to try and swarm both of them, and Supergirl glances back in the other woman's direction with a surprised part of her lips as one of the insects explodes from a sudden burst of red energy, energy that she tracks all the way back to its source of a raised hand. ]
Okay, maybe you've got me too.
[ They'll have an easier chance of fighting these things if they can do it together, and she rushes over to the dark-haired woman as quickly as she's able to (even her speed is slightly slower now) to offer an outstretched hand with the intent of pulling her up. ]
