This is my first attempt at a comic book adaptation FanFic. Wish me luck.
It had been a typical day for Kara Danvers. Wake up, go to work as a new journalist at Cat Co and in between doing her work as Supergirl with the DEO. It was hectic but she had come to enjoy it. Something that had put a damper on life was the newest addition to the DEO team. Mon El.
The Daxamite had been awake for just over a week and he was irritating the hell out of her. His attitude was so arrogant and juvenile. Typical for his people. Krypton and Daxam may have been neighbours but they were so different that you wouldn't know they were essentially related. Distantly. She had to admit there was something about him that she couldn't understand.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that her ringing phone startled her. The caller ID said Alex and she sighed. There was probably a problem with their new Daxamite friend.
"Hey Alex, what's up?"
"Winn has picked up an object that has come into Earth's orbit. He thinks it may be a ship or something. Its trajectory indicates that it is heading for the city. It is also emitting some sort of frequency."
"I'm on it."
In an instant, she was properly dressed and heading out. It didn't take her long to hear the pod as it entered the lower atmosphere. Alex was right. It was heading straight for down town National City and she could tell something was wrong.
"Alex, you there?"
"I'm here."
"I don't think It's being controlled. It may be on an autopilot but there looks like there is damage to it. Also…".
"Also what Supergirl?"
J'onn had been listening and was now concerned. Kara took a deep breath before continuing.
"I think it might be Atarin."
She didn't wait for a response. She surged towards the falling vessel and positioned herself underneath it and pushed as hard as she could. Gravity sucked, especially with a pod that was made of a very dense material. Somehow she managed to steer it to the outskirts of the city where there was no one around before letting it drop. She watched as it slammed into the ground before coming to a stop about a hundred metres from where it first hit the dirt, leaving a very long ditch behind it. The pod was definitely damaged now.
She quickly landed next to it. It was Atarin. That really unsettled her. They weren't the nicest of people in the galaxy, even worse than the Daxamites.
"Kara?"
Alex's voice echoed in her ear.
"Yeah Alex," she replied. "The pod is down safely. I'm going to open it".
"Wait till J'onn get there. He should be there any second."
There was a thud behind her and she turned to find the J'onn in full Martian form and nodded.
"Yep, he's arrived."
She turned back to the pod and pushed at several buttons on the side. It took a moment but the top finally slid back to reveal the inside. Kara glanced at him, knowing he was just as surprised as she was.
"Um…Alex."
"Yeah Kara. What is it?"
She looked back to the pod, hoping she was imagining things but no such luck.
"Alex, it may be an Atarin pod but the pilot is definitely not Atarin".
Reasonable start? Let me know what you think.
