Met Gala 2024: My Top 8 Women's Looks

I can't believe it's been a year since I did this but here we are again, digesting all the looks from this year's Met Gala theme "A Garden in Time." Those that attended either met the brief, passed with flying colours and played this year's grand staircase and others didn't. Originally I was going to do top 5 but after going over every look on Vogue the list grew into becoming my top 8. As always my opinions are my own and not gospel. So please don't take what I say personally and let's remember that fashion is a form of art and art is subjective. 1. Mona Patel wearing Iris Van Herpen Holy shit this look was off the scale and I'm not being over dramatic either. I saw the gown this morning and loved it on her, but when I saw that it had MOVING PARTS and that she was styled by the iconic Law Roach, I was floored. This man is a stylist genius and Mona looked stunning from head to toe. 2. Zendaya wearing Maison Margiela by John Galliano I wasn't a fan of this look when I first saw it but the more I do look at it the more I love it especially in comparison to her second look. I just love that the gown is not black with the mix of green and blue making the gown standout. Plus I love seeing subtle details that fit the brief but aren't tacky or garish. 3. Lana Del Rey wearing Alexander McQueen Lana's overall look was giving me witch queen in the woods and I loved it. It was dramatic, bold and stood out amongst the sea of boring gowns and suits that resembled a large funeral procession. Plus it's Alexander McQueen, the fashion house that blended art and fashion together and is still iconic after Lee's passing. 4. Taylor Russell in Loewe Sometimes less is more and Taylor Russell's look was just this and I thought it was beautiful, especially the wood grained inspired corset. We all know what it represents and paired with high end fashion it was both perfect and different. 5. Tyla wearing Balmain This gown might've looked boring at first glance or even close up but the fact it was made of sand blew my mind. I love the fact that it represented the theme perfectly but wasn't about flowers, trees, birds or bugs, but the earth we stand on. Also I just love the fact that Tyla's purse was an hourglass with sand in it representing time itself. GENIUS! 6. Emma Chamberlain wearing Jean Paul Gaultier This was another gown I wasn't mad on when I first saw it. However seeing everyone rave about what the gown represented made me fall in love with it and thats... roots. Again I love the different take on this year's theme and the fact that's brown lace as oppose to the usual black or white. 7. Elle Fanning wearing Balmain and Cartier I just love the fact this gown looks like a water fountain thats been frozen in time and I think it's ethereal to a tee. The way the gown has been sculpted is just mind bogglingly beautiful and could easily pass for blown glass. All in all it's a stunning gown and suits Elle perfectly. 8. Alia Bhatt wearing Sabyasachi It's not often that you see gowns that represent a culture especially at the Met Gala but this one was a true standout. The amount of detail from head to toe and the soft colour palette just made me fall in love with the whole ensemble the second I saw it. It's tradition and culture that meets high end fashion and art and I love it.

Regardless They’ll Always Be Dutton’s

I just had an idea about a story that I think would be great. It would be a Lee Dutton x reader with alittle kayce x reader - request from @cookiez56-blog

Shutting the front door I gazed out back into the front yard seeing my two children William and Lana who we’re playing tag in the grass off the front porch. My father in law John was sitting beside my husband Lee. Sitting across from them on a small wooden chair I noticed that John was looking at Lana for a long time. “Is something wrong, John?”

“I might be wrong. But I don’t miss anything on this ranch. So does someone want to tell me why Lana looks more like Kayce then she does you and Lee. Cause I want to know if I’m just not awake yet this morning or not.” John ran a hand over his chin in thought then he messed with his white cowboy hat on his head.

Lee and I shifted our gaze back to each other before he reached over grasping my hand in his seeing that I was starting to let some tears fall remembering that day. “He was an idiot to ever do that to you, Y/n.”

“Kayce, I have to tell you something and I’m not sure the best way to do this so….here it is I’m pregnant.” Running my hands through my hair we were about to graduate high school in a few weeks before I found out I had missed my period.

Kayce dropped his hands at his side’s changing his demeanor completely from what I thought he would. “We can’t do this anymore, Y/n.”

“What are you saying?” I dared to ask him horrified of his next response.

The youngest Dutton sent me a half sympathetic look. “Y/n, it won’t work between us anymore. I’m going into the navy and you won’t want to stay worried about me all the time. And you’re probably not going to keep the baby anyway, whoever it belong to.”

“It’s yours asshat!” I blurted out throwing my hands away from my sides feeling heartbroken at what he was saying. “I lost my virginity to you. You’re the only person I have ever slept with!”

He shook his head removing his hat running his fingers through his hair frustrated at me and himself maybe. “I…I don’t know what to say. I didn’t think that it was that easy for you to get…especially the first time. I can’t do this.” He slowly turned on his feet beginning to walk away from me and back up to the main front porch of his family’s home.

Running forward I grabbed Kayce’s wrist holding him to a stop and slapped him across the face where it hurt my hand afterwards. He held his burning cheek that was red. “You are an asshole Kayce John Dutton. I tell you that I’m pregnant and you say that you want nothing to do with me or this kid!”

“Would you believe me if I said I’m terrified as hell and you don’t have to keep the baby.” He grunted still holding his burning red cheek.

Shaking my head I spun on my feet walking away from him about to leave the ranch but I remembered that I left my jacket in the barn. Heading into the barn I grabbed it before I felt heavy tears falling down my face. Throwing my jacket I screamed just kicking the wooden wall with my boots so frustrated and heartbroken by what Kayce just said to me. Gripping my hair in my fingers I heard someone walking towards me. “I don’t want to talk to you ever again Kayce!”

“It’s not Kayce, it’s Lee.” Whipping my head around I slumped my shoulders recognizing his older brother coming towards me. He removed his tan brown hat noticing that I was sobbing through tears. “Hey what’s wrong honey?”

“I’m pregnant with your brothers child…it’s Kayce’s. But he..he just broke up with me and said he doesn’t want it. Lee I, I have no idea what to do next. I don’t think it’s right to abort the baby but otherwise I’m on my own now.” Wrapping my arms around myself I avoided his gaze sniffling through tears that hadn’t stopped coming.

Lee didn’t waste another second before he tugged me into his chest holding me tightly against him. He had one hand in my hair and the other down my back letting me cry into his shirt until I had got it all out and he had a plan inside his mind. He gently held my face in his hands wiping away the tears that had stayed on my cheek. “Y/n, this is what we’re going to do. Nobody knows that you’re pregnant. You and Kayce haven’t been showing off your relationship so we can pass the baby off as mine.”

“Oh Lee I can’t ask you to do that. I mean what if you find someone you actually care about and want to marry someone else someday.” I felt guilty that he might be giving something up to help me out.

The eldest Dutton pressed his forehead against mine not backing down from his plan. “You’re not asking I’m offering you this option. And maybe someday if we got closer we could marry and make this work better. Cause from where I’m standing you wouldn’t be the worst person to be married too.”

Lee and I hadn’t said a word since John was still staring at us waiting for an answer. We really didn’t know what to say to him, as far as he knew until now Lana was Lee’s daughter. Getting to my feet Lee followed my actions taking my hand with my wedding ring on it trying to tell me everything was going to be okay. “Dad, I just want you to know that it was my plan the whole time. Y/n came to me crying and in a panic. So I did whatever I thought would help her.”

“So what we’re saying is that you we’re right. Lana is actually Kayce’s daughter and William is Lee’s. Kayce said he wanted nothing to do with the baby and Lee offered me more than I could have imagined. I’m sorry we didn’t tell you. I…we just thought it was better that no one knew the truth.” Moving my freehand around in front of me I felt a nervous pit in my stomach waiting for his answer.

John tapped his fingers on the armrests of the chair. “If you’re thinking I’d be angry you don’t have anything to be worried about. Regardless of who the birth father is they are each still my grandkids. I love Lana and William both equally.”

“Oh thank you. John I can’t thank you enough.” Covering my mouth with my hands I smiled through happy tears before I moved forward hugging my father in law.

He hugs me back smiling towards his eldest son. “You’re welcome Y/n…you did a good job son.”

We turned our heads seeing the two you kids running up the stairs bouncing around in front of us. Lana had slight curly hair that was the color of Kayce’s hair but she had my eye color. William had my hair color but he was given Lee’s eyes. “Mommy. Daddy, can we get some ice cream?” William asked spinning around in his tiny cowboy boots.

“If grandpa John says it’s okay.” Lee responded wrapping an arm around my waist tugging me into his side smiling down at them.

John tilted his head towards the inside of the house. “Go on kiddos. Just don’t eat too much before dinner.”

“Thank you, grandpa.” Lana ran away from her brother throwing her arms around her grandfather’s neck making him smile toward me and Lee silently telling us that both the kids would be good cowboys and cowgirls when they grow up.

[welcome-to-ratterrock]

i wonder what music artists they would listen to!

i know DAMN well that Sorcha would listen to Lana del ray, Saorise would listen to chapell roan and i think that Rilla would listen to Laufey

GOODNESS, this took a while. Both Baji and I are ardent music lovers and aficionados, so music is veryimportant to us and to this story and these characters. So I wanted to make sure I got everything in order before answering these asks! 

Sorcha loves jazz and music that’s heavily influenced by soul and movement, so she loves hip-hop, pop soul, R&B, club music - stuff that’s sexy and feminine and full of confidence, like Janelle Monae, Rihanna, Beyoncé, HER, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish. 

She’s absolutely a Lana Del Rey fan, also loves Amy Winehouse, Paloma Faith, Clairy Browne, April Smith and the Great Picture Show, Laura Mvula. For more old school stuff she goes for Irma Thomas, Nina Simone, Peggy Lee, Julie London. 

Rilla loves fun energetic pop that she can dance to but also makes her feel free to - Kesha (the Rainbow album was DEEPLY important to her), Doja Cat, Dimie Cat, Sabrina Carpenter, Chapelle Roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Brittany Spears. She loves Laufey for a softer, romantic vibe, and even though she doesn’t listen to a ton of alternative she LOVES Molotov Jukebox. 

Also, girl ADORES Dolly Parton. She’s dressed up as her for Halloween, loves her endlessly. She got into Kacey Musgraves too, but Dolly has her heart. She likes some of Taylor Swift’s stuff, but she’s definitely not a die hard Swiftie. 

Lorcan unironically adores Kesha, very happy to jam with Rilla whenever their girlie’s music is on. In general he loves music that would be perfect for a barroom brawl - Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, IDLES. Loves rock in general, especially Def Leppard and AC/DC, the Clash and the Black Keys. Likes Gaelic Storm and the Beatles for softer moods. 

Brig listens to a lot of metal and punk and rock music - she and Lorcan would definitely jam to AC/DC and the Black Keys. Also loves blues music, definitely a fan of Johnny Cash. Also likes Gin Wigmore a lot. 

Luella loves soft indie core songs and groups - the Wailin’ Jennys, the Oh Hellos, the Crane Wives, the Jane Austen Argument, the Hush Sound, Brandi Carlisle, Cat Power, Paris Paloma. She and Rilla both love Laufey. She listens to Florence + the Machine and P!nk when she wants to feel empowered. 

Locke is also into soft indie, lots of underground bands no one has ever heard of but have very intense poetic lyrics - Hozier, the National, Cigarettes After Sex, Florence + the Machine, Nicole Dollanganger, the Oh Hellos. There’s a lot of overlap between him and Lu, actually! He also loves viola music, he plays it and it��s a very healing, therapeutic passion of his. 

Regal…whoo boy, his taste in music covers such a wide and diverse spectrum. He loves operas and classic musicals, very much a devotee to classical music by artists like Debussy and Puccini and Bizet. One of his absolute favorite songs is “Danse Macabre”…

He’s a virtuoso with the piano and has described himself as his own favorite musician. 

But he does like some more modern music, he’s just VERY snobby about what he wants to listen to. Marina and the Diamonds (“Bubblegum Bitch” is a favorite), Queen (he is very fond of Freddy), Voltaire, Fish in a Birdcage, the Real Tuesday Weld are some examples.  

Bogdan is even more a snob than Regal, and stays away from most modern music. He’d much rather focus on composing his own music than polluting his ears with the dreck that passes for songs nowadays. Sorcha has her work cut out with him, but she’s more than up to the task…

Casimir, sadly, probably doesn’t listen to a lot of music because of his injury - it’s too much stimulation and he suffers from horrible headaches to begin with. Not all music does it, but too much stress and sounds would very likely trigger an episode. It’s incredibly tragic because music is such an important and treasured facet of his and Bogdan’s culture…

[cuntyko]

alll righty on to the met gala looks that did the job... and did it correctly in no particular order ofc cause I don't have time to do rankings or anything... plus I would add zendayas look but I feel like everyone has seen both of them everywhere but yea she did the damn thing.

Taylor russell for Loewe

this is like renaissance art... Loewe? more like Louvre. like absolutely sickening

Erykah Badu for Comme Des Garçons

duh... ok at first I didn't like it with the theme.. but then I thought about it and like sure its not giving fairytale princess but that's not Badu so her wearing something from rei a more avant grade designer is like her way of fitting with the theme so I appreciate that... plus I really like the look

Teyana Taylor for The Blonds

YES! YES! YES!!! like her cavaliers benchwarmer ex husband had to admit she looked drop dead gorgoussss no other words. im not familiar designer but it doesn't matter in fact kudos to her that's dope.

Chloe sevigny for Dilara Findikoglu

she ate the theme down that's all I gotta say... this is what I expected to see more of like STANDARD

Sienna miller for Chloe

I love this I feel like it gives woodland fairy it totally encompasses her boho vibe its not that out there which is why I kinda struggled to where I liked it for like any red carpet atmosphere or if it actually fit the theme but again I do feel like its true to Sienna miller's style so ill give it to her.

precious lee for Bad Binch TongTong

again not familiar with this designer but come on do you see those wings the crystal details WOW just wow

Mona Patel for Iris van Herpan

gagged... fav look of the night period... idc idc and the arm pieces moved... STOP just stop

Dove Cameron for Diesel

yes... I saw how she her and her team came to putting this look together on vogue and I just loved how she described it I couldn't have said it better so im not gonna try. but this is again one of those looks where I was like yes read the invite and followed it to a T

Harris Reed for Harris Reed

again renaissance art... sculptural gorgeous both of these looks by Harris reed actually

Demi Moore for Cartier and Harris Reed

giving queen of hearts... yes I love the silhouette

Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols for Thom Browne

I really don't have much to say about this one I just rlly like it its just soooooo Queen Latifah so yesss auntie you betta work

Eliza Gonzalez rivera for Del Core and Cartier

this dress literally looks like a flower petal and its just sooooo pretty.. I couldn't not say anything

Amelia Gray for Undercover and Messika

I really really like this look... I like how out there it is ... I think its like wicked step sister in a Tim Burton movie I think its really cute idk

Laufey for Atelier Prabal Gurung

pretty sure the theme was like sleeping beauty something something and this dress is deadass giving aurora slay....

Ivy Getty for Conner Ives

in love with this look and I don't have much to say besides that... miss girl nailed it

Jodie Turner-Smith for Burberry and Chopard

absolutely gorgeous and I love the all white with the dark eye makeup and dark blue accents absolutely stunning

Nicki Minaj for Marni

this is so onika and I love it she's like the kitchy fairy godmother like this is how I imagine her in the beginning of my beautiful dark twisted fantasy

Barry Keoghan for Burberry

ok victorian slayyyy and I love the brown velvet and the silver details yess.

Jessica Biel for Ralph and Cartier

again... aurora slay its really about the color and the hair with this look for me... do I digggg the feathers? no but idk it works for the theme

Lana Del Rey for Alexander McQueen

YESSSSSS motherrrrr y'all should know by now I loveee me some Alexander McQueen baby and the lil rose touch... yes a lot of people where just throwing flowers on their looks just to "be on theme" but you can tell this is intentional it works here and she deadass is giving woodland storybook princess

lil nas x for Luar

I really like this look and the draping and the silhouette I think it looks very posh like a wedding cake topper... honestly one of my favorite looks from him... ever

Nelly korda for Oscar del la Renta

at first I thought maybe this dress was too busy and it made it look like a grandma dress HOWEVER I do kinda like how cooky and kitchy this looks maybe I would put the hair up but other than that I kinda diggg this look

Elle Fanning for Balmain and Cartier

Gorgeous regal wow and the shoulders they look like birds pulling cinderella dress up as she was getting ready or whatever... and I love how theres no necklace cause it totally wouldve distracted from this beautiful dress.

Aurora James for Ana Khouri

I diggg the drapery like Taylor Russell and the wood bodice and the wooden jewelry such a nice touch but this definitely is giving renaissance art

Unstoppable Supergirl Chapter 1: Alone

The alarm flared up like a canon next to her ear. It took Kara all of her strength and discipline not to accidentally shoot a bolt of heat vision as soon as she opened her eyes. And just as much concentration and discipline not to smash the damn thing flat. 

She rolled over her back and stared up the roof. She had to get up. In two hours school would open and she needed to continue her guise of Kara Lee, normal school girl. But her limbs refused to move. Her back did not have it in her. For the strongest girl on the planet right now, her body was heavier than any foe or asteroid she could lift. She did not want to go, she did not need to go, she hated going now. Ever since Marcy left…

Kara quickly rubbed her eyes, whether to wake them up or to avoid something else coming out, she did not know or cared. She stepped in front of the mirror and cracked her neck as she did every morning, then looked at the headstand on her desk. White as marble with a brown wig on it. She wasn’t fond of it, but it was a suggestion by everyone to use one so as to hide her identity as Supergirl. Especially as she vehemently refused to use glasses like her cousin, so the next best thing Lana suggested was a wig. “You’d be surprised how much our appearance changes when our hairstyle changes,” she said. And Kara agreed, she looked different with long brown hair. Not that she was a fan. But oh well, that’s what I need to keep being Supergirl I guess.

“Kara, breakfast’s ready,” yelled Martha as she served said breakfast on the table. She just managed to put the plate on the side where Kara sat when Kara appeared out of nowhere already sitting. 

“Thanks, Ms- I mean Aunt Martha.” the words felt weird in her mouth. Like a bad drink. But she figured it was better to be respectful and show she is grateful for everything they’ve done for her. Especially after all the things she put them through one month ago. Another thing to endure, I suppose, she thought. 

“How’s school going? You feeling alright now?” Jonathan spoke, voice soft and genuine. Kara nodded.

“Yeah, everything’s fine. I’m doing fine.”

Jonathan and Martha exchanged glances and Johnathan spoke. “You sure? Have you made any new friends since that girl left?” Kara gulped, holding back whatever impulsive action she would have done a month ago. Marcy’s been gone for months now. Months. She should be over it by now. She is over it by now. She’s fine. I’m fine. “I’m fine, really. I just haven’t met anyone interesting yet to make friends with,” is all she said and finished eating, waving her ‘uncles’ goodbye before flying off to school. 

Kara made sure to land far enough away from the school that no one noticed the flying girl landing. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the school. As always, there was a ruckus of dozens if not hundreds of students around the entrance. Some running, others walking, and others hanging out in groups and talking. Kara ignored all of them, disconnecting as much of the crowd’s noise as possible. Until one annoying voice cut through the crowd’s and into Kara’s ears. 

“Hey emo bitch! Still sulking that your ugly friend ran like a little bitch?” Hillary’s voice was like nails on a chalkboard; painful and impossible to ignore. Kara turned towards her with eyes that could kill if she let go. 

“Leave me alone Hillary.”

“Oh I would if you didn’t exist here. But we have to suffer your ugly mug every day, so I guess we all suffer.” 

Kara glared and dreamed of doing to her what she did to her friend Brittany months ago. The bruises, the skin. Everything. But Kara knew better than to do that again. She already did it once and got away with it. Twice would call attention. So she held back instead and decided on something more scathing. “How’s Brittany, by the way?” That causes Hillary and her friends to glare with the same intensity Kara glared at them. Unlike her, however, their eyes could not shoot super heated lasers. So Kara had nothing to fear. “Still waiting for her prince charming?” Kara shot with venom and Hillary took a step forward before her friends held her back. 

“You shut your mouth, bitch! You know nothing!” 

Happy with the reaction, Kara turns. “You are right I don’t. And I don’t care. Keep sulking.”

“Alright everyone, take your seats quickly. We got a lot of material to cover today,” Ms. Starr’s voice echoed before she entered the classroom, carrying books on one arm. Dressed in white, blonde hair in a bun and glasses, there was always something about her that Kara felt intimidated by. An air of authority that told her she better did what she was told or else. 

“I’m guessing you all read chapter 10 of your textbooks last week about electricity?” Ms. Starr asked with a tint of sarcasm in her voice. She knew better than to expect them too. 

Which is why it took Kara by surprise when she wasn’t the only one who nodded her head in response. Ms. Starr also looked a bit surprised towards the back and Kara followed her sight to the last person she expected to raise their hand: John Willis. “Mr. Willis. Doing your homework for once?” She said.

“Ye-” is all he managed to say before the teacher turned on her heel to the chalkboard and started writing. 

Kara pushed the confusion out of her mind and turned away from the jock. John went back to talking to his friends who quickly began asking him about why he read the book. Kara catched something about ‘something cool happening to him’ but she filtered it out. The class was more important.

“Hey there farm girl,” Kara heard as she closed her locker, revealing John Willis behind it. “There’s a big party happening in the old Well’s factory. Wanna come?” 

Kara eyed him up as if he was crazy. Besides the fact that he did not have any charm whatsoever, Kara had seen up close the type of person he really is. A bully with a rich family to protect him. Just like Brittany and Hillary. And it was only last semester when Kara destroyed his car as payback for bullying a much younger boy. There was no way she was going to accept such invitation from someone she did not respect or like. “No Willis. I’m not interested,” she said in the most condescending tone she could muster, letting him know exactly how she felt about him. 

“Hey come on,” he said as he grabbed her arm while she was walking away. She pressed her lips holding back the strength to pull him, probably even rip his arm off without breaking a sweat and turned back to look at him. “Don’t be like that. We’ll have fun. Love the new hair by the way. Brown is totally your color.” Oh goodie, praising the wig I hate. As if I needed any reason to say no.

“I said no, Willis. And that’s final.” She turned to walk away but he ran and stepped in front of her. 

“Oh please. As if you are the hottest thing in this place. Get over yourself. I’m giving you a chance here!” 

“She said no, Willis. Let it go,” someone’s voice echoed in the hallway before Kara could say her piece. She turned to find the one person she least expected; MMA girl as Marcy had dubbed her before. Taller than most of the other girls, including Kara, short brown hair, and dressed in all black, Kara had never exchanged more than a passing glance with her. Or multiple glances if she considers her own visits to the gym, where the girl spends most of her time training. 

Willis barked a laugh and turned his attention to the brown haired girl. “Mara seriously? Why are you sticking your nose here?”

“Cause it’s about time someone told you off.”

“We are just talking and she’s playing hard to get.”

MMA girl, who Kara now knows as Mara, raises an eyebrow. “Oh really? Like the other twenty girls you’ve asked out to the Well’s party in the last three hours?” At that chuckles echoed in the hallway. Boys laughed, girls giggled and spoke among themselves. Even Kara chuckled.

Willis didn’t. He stared daggers at Mara while she looked back without a care in the world. “You fucking bitch have no idea who you are messing with!” 

Mara rolled her eyes. “Run along Willis. The last time you tried to jump me, you went back home with a purple eye and broken balls.” At that the entire group of students in the hallway started laughing. Willis looked around, staring daggers at everyone before settling on Mara again. “Not next time. Next time, you will see.” He stormed away. 

Kara turned to the taller girl with a small smile. “Thanks.”

Mara looked down from the corner of her eye. “Don’t mention it,” is all she said before turning around and heading straight for the gym. Kara watched her leave, wondering if she should follow. But resigned not to. She had bigger things to worry about. Like being supergirl.

“Put your hands in the air!” Shaky arms held the gun while aiming at the man. The cop, a young twenty something man just out of the academy, yelled the words once again.

The man he was aiming at simply laughed. He was surrounded by hundreds injured. Young adults littered the street with numerous forks, knifes, and other cutlery items embedded in their bodies. “Little boy thinks he’s tough shit with a gun!” He said. He took one step closer. “Here, let me show you how little that means, asshole.” With a snap of his fingers, the gun flew off the kid’s hands and glued itself into the man’s body. The man laughed again. “See? You can’t harm me now!” He unglued the gun from his body and took his time aiming it at the cop. The young man raised his arms, eyes wide open. 

“Please…” he muttered. 

Bang!

The kid closed his eyes at the sound of the gun going off. But nothing happened. There was no burning pain. No sudden darkness. He was aware. And he opened his eyes and all he could see was a red cape floating in the wind. 

Supergirl levitated just high enough to cover the young cop as the bullet hit her square in the shield and fell down harmlessly. “Wow, a gun. Real creative here,” she said with a smirk and hands on her hips. 

“You!” The man yelled. “You can’t stop me girl! I am Magner! Metal is mine-” 

Kara rolled her eyes and flashed forward, fist connecting with the man’s jaw and in less than a second he was out. “There. Now you can shut up.” She turned towards the young cop, eyeing him up. “You alright?” 

The young cop nodded, tears coming out of his eyes. 

“Alrighty,” She said and picked up the knocked out man with one hand and flew off.

“Another one for the box,” Kara said while handing off the ‘Magnar’ to the local DEO Belle Reve officers. The only place in Smallville right now to hold metahumans. “Plenty of those lately, huh?” she looked at the officer who did not respond. She watched as they put cuffs on the man and took him away. Kara rolled her eyes and flew off. “Fuck you too,” she muttered to herself while flying off. Another day, another battle won in less time than it takes her to go to the bathroom. Last couple of months have been like that lately. Nothing too big of a challenge. Simple metahumans who go out in one blow. She should be thankful. She knows she should be. That means no destruction, no casualties. Quick battles mean quick resolution and that means she can arrive home faster where she gets to be a nice, normal, boring, weak, teenage girl who’s only worry in life is makeup and fashion and hair styling and gossip and boyfriends…

One more patrol wouldn’t hurt.

Three hours later.

“Where were you, young lady?” Said Johnathan Kent in his heavy Kansas accent. Kara's head was down, eyes firmly locked to the floor. 

“I was out patrolling.”

“For almost four hours? And with almost no incident after that one guy you captured?”

Kara tried her best to not roll her eyes at that. You never know what could happen. I had to be diligent.

“You have chores to finish, Kara. We agreed to it. You agreed to it.”

“We’ve had unexpected attacks happen all the time. I was just being thorough.” Kara raised her sight to look at Johnathan. Not in a challenge, no. She knew better than that. But simply to gauge his reaction.

Jonathan shook his head. “Kara, you made a promise and you don’t just break those things. You gotta learn that.”

“I know,” she whispered, his old ears only just picking it out. He sighed. 

“You got homework?” She nodded. “Alright. You go up to your room and finish them, alright?” She nodded once again and left. 

Kara just about stopped herself from throwing the door in her room. Besides the sound it would make, she more than knew the damage that would cause. But fuck! I want to! Who cares about chores!? Being supergirl is more important. More meaningful! I like it more! Kara takes one breath, holds it in and lets it out. Just like Dr. Mayne taught her to. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Inhale…

She flew out of her window, looked into the sky with red eyes and let out all of her solar energy through one heat vision blast. 

…exhale.

Kara sat through another of Dr. Mayne’s speeches about self control and learning to take things in stride. She was trying to help, Kara knew that. She understood that. But more and more she kept finding herself not caring about what Mayne said. Or like Mayne was listening at all. 

“Have you found a new friend yet?” Mayne said softly. 

Kara shook her head. “Nobody interesting has shown up.”

“Maybe instead of looking for people you feel is interesting you could try and give others a chance?” Her tone was soft and careful. Caring. She was trying to not come off as condescending and insulting. She was just trying to help. She’s trying to help me. 

Kara breathed. “I guess. But I can’t help not like most of them. They are all so…” immature! Vain! Selfish! All they care about is their tiny little worlds and who fucks who and who is the most popular and who is not! “...difficult” she said after a minute looking for a reply. 

Mayne nodded her head and took a couple of notes. “How has being Supergirl affected you?” 

Kara lit up, eyes shining. “Oh it’s been the best! Last week there was this guy who could move rocks or some shit like that! He was talking all this shit about being the toughest and I just kept dodging until he got so pissed, he threw this big rock at me and I just caught it and threw it back at him! It was funny! The look on his face when I did…” Kara laughed, unable to finish her sentence. Mayne nodded and smiled, writing something down in her notes again. 

“So you enjoy being Supergirl more than being a student?” 

Kara stopped laughing and looked at her again. “I like learning. I like science class. Even if Ms. Starr can be a bitch sometimes. It’s just…”

Mayne tilted her head as she waited for an answer.

“It’s just everything else sucks.”

“Why?” Mayne asked. 

“It just does.”

“There has to be a reason?” Mayne leveled her tone. Again, she’s trying to not come off as pushy.

“No one would get me.” Kara finally spoke. She lowered her head, raising one leg over the chair to rest her head on the knee. “I tried. I really did. After Marcy left. I spoke to others. I told them how much I liked fighting, how much I liked listening to rock, action movies, horror movies. I tried. But no one cared. Between Brittany and Hillary’s shit and the boys only caring about my pants, most teachers couldn’t care less, I just…” tears slide down. “No one there cares about me.”

Mayne raised her hand and reached out, hand falling on Kara’s shoulder. “You still have people like us. People who care about you. The Kents, your cousin, Lana.”

Kara tightened her fists. No they don't, she thought. But does better than voicing it. “I guess,” she managed to say. Mayne simply nodded, not convinced but letting Kara have her space.

The social studies teacher was sick and the school could not find a substitute in time so Kara and her class had a free hour. Maybe I can sneak in some patrolling in town? Kara thought to herself. She was fast after all, very fast. And all she had to do was find a hidden spot, change into Supergirl and fly off. It would not be hard. It would be dead simple. And she would be back before the bell rang. 

Let’s do this.

She looked around the school for hidden spots and noticed the gym was empty. Made sense. Practices for the football teams would not start until two months later. Coach got into some trouble apparently. 

Taking one last look around, Kara snuck into the gym and locked the door behind her. Only to hear the sound of a fist hitting a sand bag. Shit.

She turned around and found out none other than Mara Strong. Smallville High’s resident delinquent and trouble maker; yet somehow still acing her classes. She was hitting the bags, dressed in the school’s gym clothes; a shirt and shorts with the school’s logo. With her enhanced vision, Kara could see every minute movement she made. How she strained the muscles in her toned arms, how she moved her legs to take position and explode with a surge of controlled power. Any normal teenager their age would have been knocked out if they were on the receiving end. Even more so when instead of a punch Mara kicked the bag. Like this Kara got a good long look at her leg. Much more muscular than she originally thought and from this angle she could see her thighs were wide. 

For a human her age, this girl was strong. Very strong. She still remembered when she first saw Mara in action, punching the bag so hard, she broke it and sand leaked out. Everyone said the bag was old and decrepit and that’s why it broke. But Kara knew better even then. She picked up the sound of the fist hitting the bag, the kinetic energy being transferred from foot to fist to bag. It was the same then as it was now. 

“You are gonna keep staring like you always do?” Mara’s voice snapped Kara out of her trance. 

Kara opened and closed her eyes as if trying to process what she just said. “Uh what?” 

Mara picked up a towel and rubbed it on her neck. “Staring. Sometimes I always notice you sitting in the bleachers and staring during PE classes.”

Right. Kara had forgotten about that. Although not her intent at this very moment, she did sit back during PE classes and stare. She had to. Otherwise she would easily outcompete everyone in her classes. She had to pretend she was tired from time to time and when she did, she would stare. Usually her attention would be locked on Mara as she trained. Picking up on her every move, admiring the tenacity and strength behind her blows. The control, the rage, the determination. Like the many kryptonian heroes from myths. Heroes she admired, looked up to, crushed on even.

She reminded me of those good old times.

“Yeah, no. Sorry. I was just…” looking for a place to change into supergirl and patrol but you just ruined those plans. Thank you very much you stupid badass tough girl. “...looking for a place to hide. Just be alone for once. Not have to think who I have to share the classrooms with.”

Mara chuckled. “Yeah. Everyone out there sucks big fucking time.” She gestured to the bleachers and Kara followed. “So what’s your schtick?” 

“My schtick?” 

Mara smirks. “Yeah. I see you alone all the damn time ever since that other girl left. What was her name?”

“Marcy!” Kara snapped, glaring.

“Right, that one.” Mara did not seem to notice or care to memorize her name. “You seem to always be by yourself. And then I see you here from time to time, just staring. So what’s up?”

Kara blushed, not knowing how to reply to that. What was she supposed to say to that? That despite being human, there was something about Mara that reminded her of krypton? Of something else she wishes she could come back to? “I…” Fuck it. A little honesty it is. “... You just remind me of where I used to live.”

“Where is that?”

“Somewhere pretty far.”

Mara did not reply to that, she waited for Kara to continue.

“There were these stories of heroes where I lived that always made me feel special. Hopeful. You remind me of some of my favorite ones. And I… I wish I was back there than here.”

A deafening silence followed, only the sound of Mara drinking a bottle of water echoing in the gym. And then she laughed.

“Damn, you really lost it after your friend left, huh?”

Kara pouted and looked away. “Well fuck you too!”

Mara stopped herself, taking slow breaths to calm herself. “Don’t take it the wrong way, girlie. I’m just messing with you.” She gives Kara a light punch in the arm before getting up from the bleachers. “Sounds like you need a good bag to punch. I offer mine.” 

Kara looked at her with confusion. What is her angle. “Why?”

“Cause you look like a constipated bitch and need a relief. And trust me, this thing helps.”

“No, I mean, why help me?”

Mara rolled her eyes and turned around towards the punching bag. She grabbed it and gave it a good squeeze. “You coming or what?” 

In spite of her annoyance at being left without an answer, she stepped forward. “I’ve never punched something before,” she lied. Had to pretend she’s not a fighter or a superhero.

“Bullshit.” Mara’s reply caught her off guard. “Those arms of yours are not what I would call thin.” Kara looked down to her arms and she noticed it; her biceps were slightly developed, her forearms showing lines. Almost shredded. Guess the last few months of being Supergirl have done wonders for her body. And her kryptonian biology probably has something to do with it too. 

She sighed. “Fine, yeah. I punch stuff sometimes.”

“You should do it more often. Trust me, it feels great.”

“Most people here don’t seem to like it.”

“Most people here can go fuck themselves.” 

Kara’s eyes widened. Once again Mara catched her off guard. How she does not care about what everyone thinks or say. Mara Strong did not care what you have to say about her. She cared more about what you want out of her. Kara wanted someone who did not care to get her. That just accepted who she is. And Mara seemed to see right through the mask Kara was putting. She knew. She knew exactly what Kara was looking for this entire time. And she just walked up to me and talked to me like nothing. She’s bold. She’s straight forward. No lies. No insinuations. No manipulations. Just honest to Rao truth. I like her. Fine. I’ll match you. “That why they call you a delinquent?” Kara smirked, matching Mara’s own. 

“That and a total bitch. That why you act like a good girl? So no one calls you what they call me?”

Kara took a stance like an experienced fighter who has seen her fair share of fights. “Something like that.”

“Does it get exhausting?”

“You have no idea.”

“Then come, show me what you wish you’d show them.”

It took Mara all her strength to hold the bag in place. If she did not know any better, she’d say she slid on the floor. She looked at Kara who was staring with eyes wide open and then she looked at the bag where Kara punched. Sand slid out and into the floor from a fist sized hole. Mara looked back at Kara. “Wow, you are really pissed, huh?”

Kara gulped and laughed nervously. “Yeah, something like that.”

“Called it. Also, nice hook.” Mara made sure to stretch the ‘nice’ as she said this. 

“You wanted me to go off, so I did.”

“That I did. And I like this girl a lot better than the previous one.” Mara put a finger in her chin for a second before saying “Kara, was it?” 

Kara nodded.

“Good. I like this Kara a hell of a lot more than the one that’s been staring and sad for the last few months.”

“Really? You want me to insult you and tease you like you are doing to me?”

Mara shrugged. “If that’s your schtick, go for it. If not, go for whatever’s up your alley.” 

“So many mixed signals right now.”

Mara chuckled. “Just be yourself. I feel like I’d like that Kara better than whatever you’ve been putting up.”

Now it was Kara’s turn to chuckle. “Fine oh your big highness. I’ll follow your orders.”

Mara gave a short laugh that echoed in the gym. “Then as my first order, I order you to go back to being a blonde. This thing is not working.” She points at Kara’s hair where the brown wig rested.

“What? Jealous I pull brown off better than you?”

“In your dreams. No, it just doesn’t look good on you.” And for the first time in their conversation Kara could tell the tone of her voice was different there. It was softer, honest. Not teasing. 

“I’ll think about it,” Kara said with a smile. 

“I’m gonna get change and go to the cafeteria. Wanna come?” 

“Sure!”

Lana roamed throughout the crater with a worried look. Eyes moved everywhere; calculating the diameter, the depth. It was bigger than a trailer. Could easily fit two or three cars in it. 

“Miss Lang?” A voice said behind her. Lana rolled her eyes. The last man I want to see. She turned around to meet the face of Mayor Ben Krullen. Outsider mayor and arguably the worst thing to have ever happened to Smallville since the metahuman attacks. 

“Mayor Krullen, how’s the high life?” Lana said, a tinge of annoyance escaping her tone.

Krullen laughed. “Come now, Lana, you know you can just call me Ben.”

Lana forced a smile and said “yeah, I know,” and turned around towards the crater. “So what’s the story here?” she asked one of the researchers on the scene, picking a sample from the crater. 

Before he could speak, Krullen interjected. “Not much story. Just a big hole in the sand. Nothing major.”

Lana looked at him with the same dismissal she gave him earlier. “How old is it?”

“At least several years,” the researcher said. Krullen gave him a look which caused the researcher to walk away. 

“Listen, Lana, there’s nothing to see here. Just an old hole.”

Lana nodded unconvinced, she looked at him dead in the eye. “We both know there wouldn’t be a team here if it was nothing. Come on, Ben. What’s actually going on?” 

Krullen turned serious and looked down on her. “Like I said, Miss Lang; nothing major. You can leave now.”

Lana stared, facing his sight head on. But she knew this battle was lost. Krullen was not going to budge. Fine, I’ll find out for myself. She put on the most charming smile she could muster and made her Kansas accent more obvious. “Understood Mayor Krullen. Good day.”

“Samples say at least 10 years. Maybe more,” the same researcher from earlier said as he turned on a cigarette. 

“And no one ever found it before?” Lana asked, writing it all down. They were in an alleyway, far away from where the crater was. 

“We found a device in the middle of it. It was busted. We hid it before you came here. But best theory is that it was emitting some kind of interference. Anyone who passed by would not notice the crater. No radars, no nothing.”

Lana looked towards the direction of the crater, worry in her eyes. Something came here long ago and even Clark didn’t notice when he was here. 

“There’s something else. Not in my department, but I heard rumors that there’s some weird meeting going on tonight. Right in the outskirts of the city.”

“You got a location?” He nodded.

“I’ll send it to you.” He took one look around and said “I have to leave.” He dropped his cigarette and stepped on it.

“Thanks, Max.” 

He rolled his eyes but nodded and walked away.

“And then he grabbed his balls and ran away crying while yelling for his mom!” 

Kara laughed out loud as tears slid down her cheeks. “And he’s supposed to be what? The quarter-”

“Quarterback of the team, yeah” Mara said. “But everyone knows he’s only there cause mommy and daddy Willis are the rich a-holes in Smallville.” 

They were in the cafeteria. One of the few places Kara could say they actually put money into. It was big, almost as big as the park outside. “Keep hearing a lot about these Willises. Who are they?” 

Mara shrugged. “Some rich jerks from the city. Came here some years ago. They are not the only ones. Brittany’s, Hillary’s, every asshole in this school is son or daughter of some rich parents who came from the cities. Metropolis, Central, Gotham. You name it.” 

“Huh,” was Kara could muster after hearing that explanation. Answer to all the bad things happening in the world; a rich asshole wanted it.

“Bored?” 

“Bitch, are you a mind reader?” Both laughed.

“Oh yeah. I am a terrifying mind reader, beware!” 

They both laughed again. After a couple of seconds they stopped Kara spoke. “It’s just boring. Wanna know what causes an issue? Some rich asshole said it had to happen. It’s just unfair.” 

Mara shrugged as she ate. “Life’s a bitch. We just gotta live with it.”

“But what if we didn’t have to?” 

Mara rolled her eyes. “Who are you, supergirl? That’s just how things are. We gotta deal with it.”

Before Kara could muster a reply to it she heard the last voice she wanted to hear all day.

“Oh what’s this? Emo bitch hanging out with the roided slut.” Hillary stepped into their view with her friends, looking down on them as if she was looking at trash. 

“Fuck off,” Mara shot without looking at her, taking another bite of her food. 

Hillary laughed. “Oh fuck you Mara. Why don’t you go and open your legs for-”

Before Hillary could continue, Mara slammed her hands on the metal table, the sound echoed in the room. Everyone turned towards the scene. Some curious, others scared. Mara slowly stood up, eyes locked on Hillary like a predator sizing up prey. She left the silence hang for a minute, everyone frozen in place as they waited. “Want to get your teeth knocked in again like last year?”

Hillary gulped. “You got in trouble for that. Your parents weren’t happy. You wouldn’t do it again.”

Mara tilted her head to the right. “I would. Again. I don’t care. So do you want me to knock your teeth out again like last year? Did you enjoyed that?”

Hillary froze, trying to come up with a good reply but she got none. Not with Mara Strong staring down her eyes like a serial killer eyeing up their next victim. “No,” she said with a soft low voice.

“Then fuck off,” Mara replied with a pause after each word. She stood there as Hillary stepped back with her friends, muttering something about looking for another table. Once they were out of view, Mara finally sat.

Kara stared at her the entire time. Mara reminded her of Riya, Goddess of Wrath in krypton. A fair but destructive goddess who struck down those she deemed unjust. At that moment, no matter how powerful she was as a kryptonian, Mara was stronger. She had no fear, no weaknesses to exploit. She would ram through anything and anybody who dared try and stop her. You could stop someone who was strong if you found out their weakness. You cannot stop someone who’s fearless, no matter how many weaknesses you tell them they have.

Mara groaned, annoyed at the whole thing as she sat down. “Wish she would fuck off forever.”

“Why doesn’t she?” Kara asked.

“Cause ever since Brittany got her shit kicked in, she gotta stand up as the leader now.”

Kara  gulped. After what I did Brittany.

“Honestly someone should do the same thing to her. Maybe then we’ll all have some peace and quiet.”

“Some would say that’s extreme,” Kara muttered, trying to pretend she did not have anything to do with what happened to Brittany and how she felt about it.

“Some should mind their own business. I don’t care what they think. Brittany deserved what happened to her. So does Hillary.” She took another bite.

Kara smiled a bit at that, happy someone was not making her feel bad about it. 

“By the way, I’m going later tonight to the Well’s party. Wanna come?”

Kara raised a sarcastic eyebrow and said “Oh, asking me out after humiliating Willis over it?” and smirked.

Mara snorted a laugh. “Oh fuck no. You don’t put me in the same sentence as that loser. You are free to say no and fuck off to your house. I ain’t gonna stop you.” 

It was Kara’s turn to have a short laugh earning a smirk from Mara. Once she stopped she said, “Fine. I’ll go. Hopefully the k-” she gulped before continued “my uncles will let me go.” 

“You could always pretend you are in your bedroom and escape out the window,” Mara added with a devious smirk.

“I could not!” Kara sounded almost offended at the prospect. She was sure she could convince them to let her go. I am Supergirl after all.

“Kara, no,” Jonathan stood over her, frowning and arms crossed. Martha sat on the table in the kitchen, calm and collected. 

“Why not!? It’s just a party.”

Jonathan shook his head. “Those things are distractions and bad influences on kids like you. Your focus should be on studying and doing your chores.”

Kara groaned and rolled her eyes at the lack of trust from him. “That’s why I did my homework and chores earlier today. Didn’t you see me?” 

Jonathan raised an eyebrow and turned to Martha to confirm Kara’s words. Martha nodded with a soft smile. The girl had indeed done everything earlier. It was the first thing that came to her mind when Mara invited her. Jonathan sighed. “I still don’t like it. These things are always dangerous.”

“I am Supergirl!” Kara almost yelled but managed to hold back the tone of her voice just enough to not. “I fight monsters and bad guys daily. I’m bulletproof and shoot lasers out of my eyes. I can move faster than sound. I will be fine!”

“And if you do any of those things in public, you could reveal your identity!”

“I will be careful! I swear! I won’t even go alone.”

Jonathan sighed. He did not like this. He grew up focusing on the life he had at the farm, helping his parents out to make things easier on him. Parties and hangouts were distractions one could not afford. That’s what was important. But he knew enough also to know times change. Society changes. And maybe this is what Kara needs. She has not been this happy or excited for something in months. If nothing else, maybe this would be positive in her life. Even if he did not like it. She is nothing like Clark after all. “Who are you going with?”

“Mara Strong.”

Jonathan had to stop himself from coughing. Martha’s own face changed from calm to worried. “The Strong’s kid?” He said. He was trying to confirm his suspicion. Did not want to jump to conclusions.

“Well I don’t know who they are. I only know one Mara in school,” Kara said nonchalantly.

He rubbed his forehead. Of all the kids. 

“Kara,” Martha chimed in. “The Strongs are good people. We know them. But their kid, she’s,” she stopped herself short, trying to find the right word.

“She’s trouble,” Jonathan spat. 

“She is not trouble! She is fine! It’s not her fault everyone else wants to look for trouble with her.”

“She broke a girl’s nose last  year.”

Kara rolled her eyes. “Yeah, Hillary’s. I know. The same girl who’s been pestering me since I entered this stupid school.”

“Kara!” Martha said.

Kara ignored her. “Hillary’s got a hundred punches to the face coming to her.”

Jonathan shook his head. “Just because people insult you does not mean you get to start violence with them.”

“Not starting violence with them is what has let them keep bothering me every day!” Kara raised her voice, holding back tears. “They keep coming every day for no reason. I did nothing to them. Marcy did nothing to them! And look what they did to her!” 

Jonathan and Martha stay quiet. They were trying to say something. Anything to console her. But there was no argument they could use. No words they could say. They knew it. They’ve seen this side of Kara before. 

“Mara is the only one who does not care who I am. She just accepted me. No ifs, ands, or buts. And I want to do more. I’ve been stuck in school doing nothing but studying. I can’t make friends with people I don’t like. Maybe… Maybe here I can finally do that.” She looked up, pleading with them. 

He did not like it before, and even less with Mara Strong involved. But this was different. Kara was desperate. Not angry, desperate. Whoever this girl was, she’s left an impact on Kara in less than a day. Only Marcy did that before, and those were the happiest days Kara has had. He did not like it. But if there’s something Jonathan Kent has learned over the years is to let things he does not like happen simply because it was for the better of those he cared about. It happened with Clark before when he wanted to be Superboy. When he decided to move to the city and be Superman. He did not like it. He was scared. Scared that Clark would be found out, that he would be hurt, worse, that he would die. He still does not like it. To this day. He does not. But children grow. Children change. And there comes a time when one has to let them choose their own roads. And make their own mistakes. The best thing parents can do, is make sure they are there to catch them when they get hurt. When they make those mistakes. To be the net they fall into whenever they fail. So that they can learn what mistakes are, what failing means, in a safe environment. And in this case, no one was safer from being hurt in a party than Kara. At last, he sighed. “Alright. You can go.” Kara’s eyes shone a light they had not shined in forever. The old moody angry teenage girl suddenly turned into a sweet innocent child who had received the best gift they had ever seen. He could not help the happiness in himself rising. “But make sure not to come in late. Eleven Pm is the latest you can arrive, young lady.”

By the time he had finished, Kara had gone up and changed into casual clothes. A red shirt under a blue jacket and pants so short Jonathan was not pleased. But alas, it was not his call for now. “Yeah ok,” Kara spat. “See ya later!” And she was out. 

She really should learn to walk normally for a change. Clark was just like this when he first found out his powers. Running at superspeed everywhere without slowing down. At least they have one thing in common.

The music was loud, the colored lights blinked around the place, a group danced in the middle with reckless abandon. The old Well’s factory was mostly abandoned and the building itself was not safe to be in. The structure had long been falling apart. Especially after a fight between Superboy and a monster the factory had been experimenting with for years. After that, the Well’s company was taken to trial and broken apart by the government over illegal experiments and the factory closed. That was all Kara could find out about it before arriving here. She landed just outside of anyone’s view and walked in as if she had just come by foot. She looked around looking for Mara, but only finding a lot of drunk teenagers. Some guys approached her and asked her for a dance as she made her way through, but she rejected them all, even one she actually found attractive. But for now, she needed to find Mara. Then she might feel comfortable dancing.

“Oh look, the emo bitch.”

Kara did not bother to hide her groan. The music was loud. No way they were going to hear her. So she loudly groaned at the familiar voice. She turned around to face Hillary and said “Can we like, not do this? This is a party after all. Let’s just stay out of each other’s way, ok?”

Hillary scoffed. “I wish I could but you had to come here. Who invited you anyway?” 

“Same girl that broke your face a year ago?” 

Hillary went red at the mention. “That bitch is coming too?” is all she said.

Kara nodded with a smirk. Hillary groaned like a child who’s toy was taken away from her. She turned on her heel without another word and walked away. But Kara felt no need to be the better person. She wanted to drive the dagger in. To twist the blade and make it hurt. So she said “Say hello to Brittany for me.”

Hillary stopped on her tracks and turned. Whatever fear was in her face disappeared and turned into pure rage. “What did you just say?” She closed the distance between them, face to face. “Say that one more time, I dare you. I don’t care if that bitch comes.” 

Kara’s smirk grew and she started repeating her words slowly this time but before she could finish, another figure stepped in and shoved Hillary to the side. It was Mara, her short brown hair right in Kara’s face as she stepped in front of her, eyes on Hillary alone. She was dressed in black, a black jacket over a black shirt with a red butterfly in the middle, skin tight pants and boots.

“What’s up, bitch?” Mara said with a smile. Almost as if she was talking to an old friend. “This is a party. No fighting, remember?” 

Hillary true to her earlier words, stood up and got in Mara’s face. “I don’t fucking care. Your bitch friend is asking for it!”

“And I don’t care. Hell nobody cares here. No one here told you to come bothering her. You could just stay the fuck away and not talk to her if you hate her so much.” 

The two locked eyes for a minute. Hillary frowned while Mara smirked as if she had nothing to worry about. At last, the blonde girl turned to Kara. “This is not over, emo bitch.” And shoved Mara’s shoulder aside as she walked away. 

“What did you tell her?” Mara asked without even turning to look at Kara. 

After Kara recounted the short chain of events as they walked out of the crowd. Mara stood quiet for a second before bursting out laughing. “Fuck, remind me never to piss you off. That was brutal.” 

Kara blushed before continuing. “Where were you, anyway?”

Mara barked a laugh. “Scared?”

“Me? Scared? No. Just worried you dropped out after being tough shit all day.”

“Hell no! I’ll take any chance to leave home.” They stopped by a guy who quickly recognized Mara and offered her a drink. She accepted it and looked at Kara with the silent question of ‘want some?’

After thinking about it for several seconds, enough that Mara thought she was going to say no, Kara accepted it and took a sip. 

The two girls wandered throughout the party , talking gossip and dancing along. Even if she did not know the moves, Kara let the beat of the song drive her. She let her body move on its own and enjoyed the freedom. The freedom to at last forget about it all and enjoy herself. Forget about the Kents, forget about Mayne, forget about Smallville. Forget about Kal. Forget about Krypton. Just forget and be in the present, be in the now. Where she wanted to belong, to be happy.

The two sat down on the tables outside of the dancing floor. Mara was sweaty and breathing harshly. Kara meanwhile faked being tired to the best of her abilities. 

“I want your stamina. You barely even broke a sweat!” Mara chuckled. 

Kara chuckled awkwardly as she tried to come up with an excuse. “I mean yeah, I do walk a lot. But trust me, I am tired.”

Mara nodded and turned to the party goers. “That guy on the other side would beg to differ.” she pointed to the guy Kara had noticed earlier she liked. He was taking quick short breaths. They danced together earlier thanks to Mara’s encouragement after Kara told her she found him nice looking.

“Not my fault he can’t keep up,” Kara said with a smirk and short laugh. Woops. A bit of supergirl came out there. Gotta turn it down.

“Cocky, are we?” Mara lightly punched her in the arm and Kara pretended the blow pushed her. An audible ‘ow’ sealed the lie.

“Not cocky if it’s fact.”

“Touche.” 

The two girls clashed bottles and drank it down. For less than a second, Kara could feel the burning down her throat and later on she knew should probably be drunk for 1 or 2 seconds only for her body to process it all and she would be back to normal. She knew it. Tried it several times in the past; her kryptonian body is just too strong to get drunk.

She looked at Mara with a soft expression. She was so different from Marcy, so much more rough and hardened, but she still made her feel the same way; welcomed, interesting. It made her feel as if she did not have to change for anything. That she was perfect the way she is. She did not have to adapt to live on earth, to live with humans. To understand them. Mara simply accepted and welcomed her. Now if only Mara had the same interest in science Kara did, that would be a bonus. But for what it’s worth, for who she is, she’s the best thing Kara could have asked for.

A figure stomped forward towards the party, heavy breaths behind a facemask that looked like a gasmask but streamlined. Flat. Silver armor covered his shoulders, body and legs. He looked like an American football player in metal armor instead of foam and plastic. On his back he carried four packs with cables springing out of it and into his arms. “Now,” his voice echoed through the filter. “You will learn to not humiliate me.”

“So he was into me so bad that he decided to buy me stuff on valentine’s instead of his girlfriend,” Mara said. She was telling the story of how Hillary ended up getting her face swollen by herself. “Next day, Hillary gets in my face about it and I tell her ‘take a hike. Solve it with your boyfriend’ and she took a swing at me!”

Kara’s eyes widened at that. “Wait, she went at you first!?”

Mara nodded as she took a sip from her bottle. “Even Brittany was shocked. She definitely did not want to mess with me. She was smarter. But Hillary? Oh no. She’s the dumb dumb of the group. Thinks she’s the toughest shit. So she swung at me, connected, everyone gasped. And I swung back and Unlike her, I swung with a closed fist. Next thing you know, we are at the principal’s office and I get the short end of the stick while she gets out by being the weak little victim.” Mara spat that last part with venom. She was punished severely that day. Almost expelled too. She was already well known for having a short fuse, but that day established her as the problematic one in school. 

“That’s so much bullshit,” Kara said angrily. Still surprised at the amount of power girls like her have just because their parents are rich. Is this the Smallville Kal loves so much?

Mara shrugged. “Well what can you do? Either you are rich and get off scot free or you are poor and suffer the c-” Before she could finish, an explosion caused several party goers to rise up and fall down on the ground while the wave pushed Mara and Kara and others across the area. The music stopped and was replaced with screams as everyone ran. 

Kara, unharmed, helped Mara up and the two girls looked at the dance floor. In its center stood the armored figure, electricity running through his armor while smoke rose from it. He was tall, he was big and his eyes were squared on the two girls. “There you are!” He raised his arms as electricity built up in his hands. “Time to crash your party!”

At superspeed, Kara barely managed to tackle Mara out of the way as he shot lightning at them. Despite getting her out of the way, Kara took the hit in her leg and it hurt. It hurt bad. She screamed in pain.

“Kara!” Stood up and checked her up. Kara’s leg was burned, dark skin covering what was once silky smooth. She hooked one arm over her shoulder and lifted Kara up, urging her to get up. But the armored man stood behind them several feet away.

“You are fast, but I’m faster,” he said as he aimed another shot at them. This time it was Mara turn to safe Kara as she used all of her strength to push Kara out of the new incoming shot. The shot hit a car, blowing it up and separating the two girls. 

“Kara!” Mara yelled as she looked for her friend.

“Get away, Mara! Go!”

“What!? No! I’m not leaving you!”

I need you to run away so I can change, you idiot! Kara thought. She needed to get Mara out of here. Whoever this guy was, he was after them. Kara Lee could disappear and say Supergirl saved her. Mara on the other hand is just human and could not outrun a bolt of lightning. “I’ll be fine! Just go. We’ll meet up later. Please!”

Working against her instincts, Mara nodded and ran, leaving Kara to handle the armored man. As he takes a moment to choose who to chase, Kara to a corner and changes into Supergirl at superspeed, arriving just in time to face off against him. 

“Supergirl!?” He said with obvious surprise. “What are you doing here?”

Kara raised one eyebrow. “Are you serious? You are attacking a party and hurting people. Of course I would be here.”

He shook his head. “I’m just here for those two bitches,” he pointed to the place where Mara and Kara were, only to find it empty. “What!? Fuck! I’m going to make them scream!”

Supergirl can’t help but chuckle. This idiot is worse than the magnet guy. “Why? Whatever did they ever do to you?”

“They humiliated me. They have to die. They are bad. Just let me at them. I want no smoke with you.”

“Humiliated you?” Supergirl muttered and as she recalled the day she used her x-ray vision to confirm her suspicions. Willis. “John Willis?” 

He snapped to her in shock. “What!? How did you!? Nevermind! The name’s Volt and I’m getting them. Get in my way, you die too!”

Supergirl snorted.  “Bring it on.”

Despite her speed, Supergirl found it hard to dodge most of Volt’s attacks. His lightning moved fast, even faster than lightning falling from the sky. Got to get close. She dodged and dodged his attacks, as he got angrier and angrier, yelling at her to stay put, but she ignored his every word. At last she got her chance, closing the distance and punching him in the face. And he barely reacted. What!?

In her shock she failed to realize the punch incoming. He hit her square in the stomach, electricity passed through from his punch and into her. Supergirl screamed as she felt the equivalent of a thousand volts course through her body as she fell into the Well’s factory. 

She coughed blood and stood up while Volt entered the building. “Like my costume? They said it would help me fight you if you came. Almost didn’t believe them.” Not giving her time to think, he shot another blast of electricity. Supergirl had no time to recover her senses before it hit her. Once again she screamed. Screamed as much as she had ever. The pain, the powerlessness, the fear. Fear. The fear of losing. Fear of dying. Fear. The same fear she felt that day. The day they died. The day Krypton died. With a blood curdling scream, she charged up her heat vision and shot back at Volt. He barely had time to widen his eyes as the blast hit him in the chest and sent him flying out of the factory. 

Supergirl collapsed, taking this moment to catch her breath. Fuck. How do I beat him? I can barely dodge his blasts. Think Kara, think! But before she could, Volt charged into the factory like the football player he is. 

“You think you can stop me!” He yelled, charging straight into her. “I’ll kill you!” He charged his fist with a blast of electricity. 

Not having any other course of action in mind, Supergirl met him head on and shot her heat vision again. The two blasts collided and exploded, pushing both combatants back. Supergirl crashed through the foundations of the building while Volt fell into a puddle of water. It took her less than a moment to recover and hear the screams coming from him as his electricity acted out in the water and came back to him. But before she could do anything about it, the building collapsed.

With another blood curdling scream Supergirl powered through the debris and flew into the sky with all of her strength. But only managing to stay afloat for a couple of seconds before she collapsed on top of the debris. Her injuries were grave; she’s never fought an electric opponent before. The pain in her body turned every move into a mountain to be climbed. But she persevered, she could not lose, she could not die here, she was Supergirl. 

With all of her strength, she stood up and scanned the debris with her x-ray vision. He was not here. Not anymore. How!? It is then she noticed a hole in the debris, right where the puddle was. She must have been out longer than she thought if he got away. Not what she wanted to think.

Jonathan and Martha waited anxiously in the front of the house. It was 1:00am. “She’s going to get a big talk from us,” he said sternly. 

“Maybe something happened?” Martha added hopefully. 

“Then why hasn’t she called?” He shook his head. 

Just then he got his answer as Kara landed in front of the house, bloodied and weak. They both yelled her name as Jonathan ran to her. Kara stumbled forward until he was close enough for her to collapse. “Willis… attacked… party” Her eyes closed.

Kara woke up the next morning. Most of her injuries had dried up and she found she had a change of clothes and down in the living room she could hear another voice on top of the Kents. 

She made to run but noticed she did not have her brown wig. Thankfully she had a spare already on her table. Thanks, Martha.

She quickly ran down and found the Kents talking to a cop.

“Hello little Ms.” he said nonchalantly. “Officer Norris, I’m told you were at the old Wells factory party last night?” Kara looked at the Kents and got a nod from them. She nodded. “Were you there during the attack?” Apprehensively she nodded again. “How did you get out of there?” 

This one Kara thought it through very carefully. How did Kara Lee get out of there? The only way she possibly could have. “Supergirl saved me.” At that he nodded as if he had confirmed it. 

“Yeah, that sounds about right. Do you know by any chance who was the armored guy that attacked?”

Kara had to stop herself from spilling out that it was John Willis. Kara Lee did not see his face nor talked to him. Only Supergirl did. Only Supergirl could attest to it. Not her. Not right now. “I don’t know. She got me out of there before I could know what was happening.” At last he closed his notebook. Satisfied, he said his goodbyes and walked out, with kara and the kents following him. Outside she notices the one person she was thinking about the entire time; Mara Strong.

“Ms. Strong, I already interviewed you,” Norris said, annoyed. 

She flipped him off and said “Not here for you jackass.”

Norris ignored her vulgar sign and got in his car, leaving the Kents, Kara and Mara alone. “Mara, what are you doing here, girl?” Martha asked softly, genuinely.

Mara looked at Kara and the way she looked caused her to look down in shame. As if it was her fault. “I came here to see Kara.” 

Jonathan made a move but Martha stopped him, grabbing his arm and giving him a look that told him everything he needed to know about what she thought of him interfering. He sighed and nodded to Mara before entering the house with Martha.

Once they were out of sight, Mara rushed and hugged Kara. Kara stood frozen for a second, she did not know how to react here but settled for hugging her back. “I’m so sorry for inviting you to that stupid party.” 

Kara laughed. “Don’t worry about it. I’m fine. We are fine.” 

She did not get to see it, but she heard it. The sound of Mara breathing in tears, making sure they did not get out. “Yeah, but still. That was not what I was expecting last night.”

They both laughed. “Yeah, big party.”

“How did you get out of there?” 

Kara hesitated for a moment. She did not want to lie to Mara. To tell her the big superhero saved her. But she had to. They’ve only known each other for a day or two. As much as she wanted to trust her, now was not the time. Not yet. “Supergirl got me out of there. Woke up right here.”

“Right.” Mara looked away with a groan, as if something was annoying her but she did not want to share with Kara.

“What’s wrong?” 

Mara shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. It’s fine. You coming to school?”

Kara stopped herself midword from replying and thought it through. 

After one long conversation about how fit she was to go to school, the Kents relented and allowed her to go. 

The two girls arrived together at school and the atmosphere was somber. Plenty of kids from school had gone to the party and got injured heavily. Kara could not help but blame herself. She was supposed to be the hero and she failed. She should have been better at this. A better fighter by now. Willis was not a smart fighter. He was brute force personified. If she had thought it through, come up with a strategy, she could have won. 

“Stay away from Willis,” Mara’s voice snapped her out of her thought process as the two entered school. Kara raised an eyebrow.

“What, why?” 

Mara looked around as if wanting to spot anyone who could listen and whispered “I’ve been thinking about it all night. The guy at the party was gunning for us. There’s only one guy I know who would want us both dead.”

Kara did not know what she expected, but it wasn’t Mara figuring this out by herself. But when she stops to think about it, it makes sense. Had he focused on Mara alone, maybe the list of suspects would have been higher. But singling out both Mara and her narrowed that list heavily.

“I thought so too,” Kara replied.

“Good, lets stay away from him for now. I’ll make sure not to piss him off,” she smirked and Kara could not help but have a chuckle. Even in a dangerous situation, Mara had to quip. 

“Everyone take your seats we got a long class ahead of us,” Miss Star said and everyone obeyed. “Now I know we all are saddened about friends who were at the Wells factory but we can’t stop the curriculum for it. No matter how many times I told the principal we had to. But hey, that’s why I’m a teacher and he’s the principal. I’m smart.” The class erupted in laughter as the blonde looked at them with a smile. 

“Since when is she a comedian?” Kara muttered after she stopped herself from laughing.

Mara stopped her own laughter and said “Since forever. She’s a bitch, but she’s not stupid.” Once everyone calmed down, Starr’s eyes settled on the two girls. “Ah, Kara. I see you found a new lab partner. Miss Strong, it’s good to finally see you in my class.”

“That’s right, the top bitch of school is here.”

Starr rolled her eyes and looked at the rest of the class. “I see it’s now Mr. Willis’ turn to cut my class.” 

Both Kara and Mara tensed up and looked behind to find his empty chair. Both breathed a sigh of relief as they turned back to the teacher. 

And the door opens. “Ah! Mr. Willis. You are late.” Willis entered the classroom without a word, immediately looking in the direction of Kara and Mara. 

He smirked. 

Kara did not wait. She pulled Mara down to the floor as a blast of electricity destroyed their table. The class erupted into chaos, everyone dropping to the floor. John walked towards the two girls, flipping tables out of his way until he laid eyes on them in the corner. “Got you.”

Kara tried to find a way to escape. To save Mara. But there was no way, not without revealing her identity. They were trapped in the corner. If she saved Mara, her cover would be blown. She’s supergirl. For all to see. But there was no choice. No way she was going to let Willis get her. 

Suddenly, two arms wrapped themselves around Willis, restraining him. From behind him was Ms. Starr wrestling with him as she yelled at the two girls to run. Mara did not wait, she got up and grabbed Kara by the arm, pulling her out of the classroom along with everyone else. 

Angry, Willis supercharged his power and released a shockwave that pushed Starr off of him. 

Kara and Mara ran along with the rest of the class in the hallways while other teachers and students left the classroom wondering what was going on. It did not take long for them to realize it as Willis begun shocking everyone in his way. “Get out of my fucking way!” he yelled as he kept punching and hitting everyone. 

Noticing the shrinking distance, Mara looked at one of the doors and kicked it wide open, pushing Kara in and locking the door behind her. “What are you doing!?” Kara yelled.

“I’ll lead him away from you. You get out of here!” Mara yelled back and ran away, leaving Kara to yell at her to not do it. 

Her anger and desperation rising, Kara looked behind her. There was no one there. Good. You are not taking her from me. I’m not losing another friend!

“I will electrocute each and every single one of you if you don’t get out of my way!” Willis yelled some more. 

“Hey, asshole!” Mara yelled back and he turned to find her on the opposite side of where everyone else was running to. “If you have a problem with me, here I am.”

“Oh I do,” he said with a sadistic smile as he charged a ball of electricity in his hands. 

Mara just managed to step out of its way and with that she sprinted in the other direction. Willis chased after her, shooting blasts of electricity but never quite hitting her. Until having had enough, Willis supercharged his powers again and exploded with another shockwave knocking Mara down. 

He lifted her by the arm with a sadistic smile. But after screaming from pain, Mara looked at him dead in the eye. 

“The fuck?” he said confused. “Bitch I’m going to fucking kill you!” He yelled slamming her arm against the wall but he got no scream from her, just a groan. “Why aren’t you scared?”

At that Mara smirked and said “I got nothing to live for.” 

This catches him off guard long enough for Supergirl to tackle him from the side. He let go of Mara and fell at the far end of the hallway. Quickly, she turned to Mara. “Hey! Are you alright? Kara send me.”

Mara looked at her with a mixture of anger and surprise, as if she was asking if Kara genuinely did. 

“You!” Willis yelled, pulling both Supergirl and Mara out of the moment. Supergirl stood up to face him. 

“No costume this time, Volt,” Supergirl made sure to say his nickname with the most mocking tone she could muster. 

“They took it from me because of you! They said I wasn’t ready!”

Supergirl narrowed her eyes and said “Who are they?”

But Willis did not answer, instead he surrounded himself with electricity creating what looked like a shield around him. Supergirl rushed in anyway, thinking she could perhaps get through to it quickly enough to knock him out. But she could not and instead screamed in agony as the shield electrocuted her and Willis smiled. 

Knowing she could not get in close now, Kara scanned the hallway for an advantage. Every locker, every door, she needed something that would stop him, something that could knock him out. And then she remembered. When he fell into the puddle of water last time, it redirected his powers against him. The only reason he recovered before she did was because of her injuries. But this time, if she could stay conscious long enough, she could knock him out with his own powers and lock him up in Belle Reve. And as if Rao was answering her prayers she noticed the fire hose. Yes!

Supergirl smirked, her plan set. “Let’s dance.”

Supergirl became a blur as she dodged and weaved out of the way of every blast he shot. Willis grew reckless and angrier. Last time he gave her a run for her money. Now he was not hitting her. So he changed tactics. Looking at Mara one more time, he changed targets. 

“No!” Supergirl yelled as she stood in front of Mara and shielded her. Supergirl screamed as the blast coursed through her veins, like a thousand needles stabbing her at the same time. Supergirl fell to her knees as Willis continued his assault. Supergirl locked eyes with Mara as if begging for help and motioned towards the hose. Understanding what that meant, Mara nodded. With his eyes focussed on Supergirl, Mara sprinted towards the firehose reaching it with no trouble but the casing was locked and she couldn't open it. Supergirl does her best to stay conscious. She can’t fall, not now. She’s got to give Mara time.

Mara hit and hit the casing trying to break the hose out but she could not. Just then she heard a voice call her name and turn to find Miss Starr behind her. She and Starr exchanged glances towards the hose and supergirl and she nodded. She pushed Mara to the side and opened the casing with little difficulty. 

Noticing they finally got it out, Supergirl pushed forward, making sure Willis was looking at her and not them. “Do… Better… Volt!” she taunted him. 

“Why won’t you die!?” He redoubled his efforts but Supergirl did not lose her footing now. She stood up and faced him, refusing to yield to him, to give him the satisfaction of seeing her down. Refusing to be weak in front of him. In front of Hillary. In front of all the bullies who would do her wrong and others wrong, who can’t live in a world without having their way and threw a tantrum every time they did not. If this was the world she lived in, she would fix it. She would fight them. She would take them all out. Because that is what she wants. What she needs. Because she’s Supergirl. 

She stood up tall and proud eyes locked on his and smirked. 

Willis’ eyes widened afraid and before he knew it another voice interjected.

“Mr. Willis!” he turned to find Miss Starr and Mara holding the hose, aimed right at him. “I’m failing you!” 

Willis screamed in agony as the hose shot the water and turned his electricity on him and in just a couple of seconds he fell out cold. 

Supergirl fell on her knees exhausted, but conscious. And alive. Ms. Starr ran to her, holding her shoulder while Mara stared at Willis with a mixture of emotions.

“You are one badass teacher,” Supergirl said.

The teacher laughed. “Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of rough tumbles. Bars can be quite dangerous.”

Supergirl laughed. With her help, she stood up once again, looking down on Willis.

“You should go now, cops will be here any second and they’ll want to take him. Among other people.” 

Right, Belle Reve. “Thank you, Ms…” Supergirl held back from saying her name, knowing she was not supposed to know her name.

“Starr. Karen Starr. A pleasure Supergirl.” Supergirl nodded and shook her hand. 

Then she turned to Mara and said “You are alright?” 

Mara nodded. “Yeah, I’m alright.”

“If that’s that,” Karen interjected. “Let’s get you out of here”

“Wait! What about Kara!?” 

“Oh she’s…” supergirl stopped for a second before continuing “...outside. I took her outside with everyone else when I got here.” 

With that, Mara ran with Karen behind her while the cops and DEO agents arrived to take Willis in. Her job done and now having to be outside, Supergirl sped out and changed into Kara Lee. 

Outside the two girls reunite, hugging once again after the whole ordeal. 

And then a voice overpowered everyone else’s. “What is this!? Where’s our son!?” Donald and Susan Willis stepped out from the crowd just in time to see their son being carried out in cuffs and a stretcher. “Where do you think you are taking him!?” Donald yelled. 

One of the cops stepped forward and said “He’s the metahuman who attacked the school, sir.” 

Donald shook his head while Susan scoffed. “Preposterous! My son is a highly decorated player and student in this school. He’s not some metahuman scum!”

“Your son just tried to kill me and my friend!” Mara yelled at them. 

The Willis’ look at her with disgust. Donald stepped forward. “Why would we believe a word you say, girl! Everyone knows you are just a delinquent in this school. It’s a wonder you are still here.” 

Mara stood frozen, fuming. Kara meanwhile stepped forward. “She is not lying! Your son tried to murder us!”

Again he scoffed. “Why would I believe any friend of that mutt?” 

At that Kara almost flew into a rage if not for Karen holding her arm. “Let it go, Kara.” She whispered. 

With seemingly no more words to say, the Willis’ went back to arguing with the cops while Kara and Mara left.

“Thanks,” Mara said as they arrived at the farm. 

“For what?” 

Mara chuckled as if Kara really needed an explanation. “For everything. Hanging out with me, sending supergirl to save me. Standing up for me just now. No one’s ever done that before.”

Kara smiled softly and said “Thank you for making things feel better for me. I’ve felt… really alone ever since Marcy left. Like no one could ever understand me or even tolerate me. You changed that.”

Mara smiled softly right back at Kara. “Say, I normally come to the school’s gym early in the morning when no one’s there. Could use a punching mate.”

“Count on it.” The two girls smiled and shared a fist bump as they said their goodbyes for the night and a promise of friendship for tomorrow. 

Richard “Dick” Willis, eldest son of the Willis’, sat behind the desk while Ben Krullen looked at his computer screen, his mysterious benefactor in it. 

“The Willis’ are none too happy that the only agreement we reached is to keep the Willis’ boy in a cell in the town instead of Belle Reve.”

The benefactor scoffed. “The Willis’ can settle with what we accomplished. Argus is not strong enough to overrule the DEO just yet. They’ll have to wait for a complete pardon.” Krullen nodded.

“What about the crater you found?” 

“The DEO grunts think it might have been here for a decade or so now. We still don’t know what could have caused it.”

The benefactor nodded with a displeased groan. “My scientists said the same thing. But in this day and age, the simple answer could be aliens. Keep a watch over everything there. I want to be the first to know if anything new pops up.”

Ben Nodded and asked “What about Supergirl?”

“What about her?”

Ben raised an eyebrow, curious. “Don’t you want me to keep an eye on her and her exploits?”

“She’s insignificant. I have nothing to gain from her that I can’t already gain from her frustrating counterpart in Metropolis.”

“Understood, sir.”

“Focus on what’s important, Krullen. Nothing else.”

The bus stop was as annoying as she expected it. It had been awhile since she took the bus, but she refused to bring her expensive car to this backwater town her parents decided to move in. It would get stolen almost immediately. So the woman decided to come in filthy public transit and wait in line like a common whore. Fucking parents for moving here. City’s too dangerous now. Too many filthy metahumans and filthy people.

“Name and reason for visit?” the attendant asked her.

“Willis. Leslie Willis. I came for a family visit.”

“Welcome to Smallville, Ms. Willis.”

Lana did not know what to expect when she attended this meeting, but it was not this. The farm which was supposed to be abandoned turned out to be up and running like nothing ever happened to it. The barn itself was the highlight. On the inside it was decorated with red. Red curtains, red seats, red walls, red everything. 

“Lana!” Jerry from the west street diner yelled. He was an old friend of Lana from school. She had grown apart from him but they still spoke from time to time. 

She was not happy to see him here. In whatever this is.

“I didn’t know you had joined too!” 

Lana nodded with a charming smile. “Yeah! Was curious about what all the fuss was about.”

“Oh it’s great, believe me. Sadly the high priests are not here tonight.”

“The what?”

“The high priests. They are the ones who made all of this. And they are going to bring us all to the light!”

Lana did her best to keep her smile as her insides screamed at her to get out of whatever this is. But she could not. Something bad was going on here. Not helped by the shield at the top of the barn. A shield just like Superman’s but with ‘W’ instead of an ‘S’. Oh Lana. What have you gotten yourself into?

The towering beasts hovered over the farm, several miles up so they could not be seen. 

“The kryptonian took down my champion!” one said with anger. Her voice was a ghostly tone that pierced minds instead of ears. 

“He was worthless,” another figure began. “A mere test subject. We all knew he would fail the second he was beaten the first time. The fact we had to rescue him should have been enough evidence of that.”

The ghostly figure groaned dissatisfied with her colleague’s words.

“Don’t feel too bad. You’ll find another one. You all will. You will all have your champions. After all, we got plenty to choose from.”
