Chapter 1: A Rude Awakening
As Kara was walking through the streets of Argo City she enjoyed the peaceful setting and the joy of the people as they were celebrating the first anniversary of the victory over General Zod a large parade was held in the center of the city people were gathered around as the parade slowly moved through the city streets. As the parade continued through the streets a seismic quake started to shake the ground violently and crack open the ground people were running for cover from the falling pieces of building that were crumbling under the strain of the quake. People were running around scared while the ground under them shook violently the people of Argo City were trying desperately to save themselves as well as their loved ones from being hurt by the quake that was tearing the ground in two and making buildings crumble to the ground. Kara looked around at all the that was happening and the destruction that the seismic quake was causing as she was thinking that could this be the one that her father and uncle warned her about, the quake that could finally rip the core of Krypton and make it explode. The surface continued to crack and spread apart as people were falling into the holes to never again be seen by the light of day. As the surface broke apart the planet soon exploded.
Kara opened her eyes quickly as she sat up in her bed breathing heavily in the dark, she gulped heavily as she brushed her hand through her blonde hair to move her it out of her face, she looked at the clock on the bedside table and saw that it was 3am. She got out of bed to went into her bathroom she turned on the light as she continued over to the sink and bent over it for a moment, she turned on the water so she could cup her hands under the faucet to let water fill her hands and then she splashed the water on her face after the first time she splashed she looked at herself in the mirror as water dripped down from her chin. The water continued to flow into the sink as she was slumped over trying to get her head straight while at the same time wondering why she had that dream in the first place. She turned off the water and grabbed a towel from the rack to dry her face; once her face was dry she tossed the towel in the bin and headed back to bed turning off the light behind her. She laid back down in her bed and pulled the covers up to her neck as she made herself comfortable while trying to go back to sleep since she had to get up early for her class at 8am.
Six hours later the clock on the bedside table began playing music from the radio as the alarm, Kara groaned as she moved her hand over the alarm to turn it off. She sat up in bed so that she could yawn and stretch as she was still trying to wake up; as she tiredly got out of bed she rubbed her eyes while heading over to her dresser and opened the top drawer and took out a pair of her underwear and a bra, she closed the drawer and headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She came out of the bathroom 20mins later and headed over to her closet, but before she had a chance to grab her clothes her cell that was sitting on the bedside table next to her alarm clock started ringing, Kara sighed as she went over to her phone and opened it up to answer the call
"Hey Shelly…yeah I finished the project last night, I stayed up till 2 to finish it" she laughed lightly "yeah I know but don't worry I guarantee it'll be an A…yeah I'll see you in class…bye"
She closed her cell phone and put it back down on the table then she headed over to the closet and grabbed a light blue skirt and a midriff long sleeved shirt that near the collar of the shirt had a pentagonal shape with an S on the inside, she put on the shirt and then the skirt and took out a long red cape that she wrapped it around the back of her neck and tucked it tightly under the collar of the shirt. After she put on the outfit she began to rummage through her clothes to pick out a regular shirt, it took her several minutes but she finally settled on a long sleeved shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
Once Kara was dressed she grabbed her backpack and made sure that she had all the books and supplies she needed for her classes, once her bag was set she put the strap over her arm and rested it on her shoulder as she headed into the kitchen and grabbed the project from the kitchen table and then headed towards the door as she grabbed the set of keys that was resting on a hook near the door. She opened the door and walked out closing it behind her; then she headed down the hallway and stopped at the elevator and pressed the down button and began to wait for the elevator to arrive. She looked at her watch to check the time and started hoping that she wouldn't be late; she didn't want to use her powers because she was afraid of ruining the project so she was going to do it the normal way to get to school at Metropolis University.
