Midvale High
A/N: For all of the fans who have watched Smallville, this is similar to the tv show but this is Kara's story, not Clarks although, he will appear in later chapters.
Enemies will appear in later chapters, if you have any suggestions as to what enemies should appear than feel free to express.
Other characters from the DC shows might appear, depending on what you guys want.
Also, there's going to be significant changes to Kara's history and life on krypton, but I promise you that it isn't going to affect Kara's personality… that much.
And finally, if you like the story then I will continue it, this is kind of my first SuperCorp fanfiction and I'm not sure if people would like it not. So, this is a draft of some sorts
Chapter 1
The ground was shaking, the heat was rising, the screams got louder. Everything – Everyone, was crumbling before her eyes. She watched the city buildings burn and collapse from her bedroom window.
Her vision started to become blurry from the tears that glassed over her blue eyes. Down below, on the cracked and broken streets, she saw them. Her friends, clutching onto their mother and fathers as they felt fear. They didn't know what was happening but they knew that this… this was the end.
"Please" Kara muttered softly in Kryptonian, she placed her hand on the glass window, "By the light of Rao, save them"
There was No God.
No Hero
And No Hope
"Kara"
Her planet was… is-dying, how could she have been so oblivious to the warning signs.
"Wake Up"
The acidic rain, the dying animals, the toxic air. Deep down, she knew that there was something wrong with her planet, but she ignored it, she listened her family, to her parents, when they told her everything will be okay.
"Kara! For God Sakes. Wake the hell up" Alex shouted as she threw a pillow at her alien, sister's head. Kara felt something soft hit her head, she slowly opened her eyes to the blinding light that was shining through her window.
She saw Alex fixing her bed, "You were doing it again", Alex said softly, she didn't bother to turn around to face her sister.
"Doing what?" Kara asked as she swung her legs over the edge of her bed to stretch.
"Speaking in kryptonese", Alex walked over to Kara and sat next to her on the bed, "You need to be careful Kara. You can't accidentally speak alien when you're engaging in conversation"
Kara knew this already, she has been on this earth for 3 years and it was anything but easy. She had to learn a whole new language in order to 'fit' in.
When she first arrived, her cousin Kal-El spoke to her in English. He wasn't fluent in the Kryptonian language, he barely knew how to say 'Hello' to her. It was frustrating, she wanted to be able to speak to someone with her native language. She had tried to teach Alex how to say a few phrases, but it was too hard, plus Alex wasn't interested in learning a new language.
Alex noticed the sombre look on Kara's face, she didn't mean to upset her, "Do you want to talk about your dream?"
Kara shook her head and stood up, she quickly changed the topic in order to avoid a breakdown, "I can smell Eliza's famous pancakes", Alex laughed and shook her head.
"You're like a blood hound when it comes to food", she stood up from Kara's bed and made her way to the door to go downstairs. Although, before she could make it to the door, Kara quickly ran pass her and made her way to the kitchen.
"Too Slow" Kara shouted from downstairs as she ran into kitchen
Alex rolled her eyes and ran down the stairs too, "You have super-speed, that's cheating"
Eliza smiled as she watched her daughters walk into the kitchen with a smile on their face.
"Even without super-speed, I would still beat you. Nothing can get in the way between me and food", Kara grabbed an empty plate and passed it to Alex.
Alex grabbed the plate from Kara's hand and sat down at the table that had a pile of pancakes stacked in the middle, "Excuse me, I'll have you know that I am the best runner on the track team. I am faster than most humans combined"
Eliza rolled her eyes at their bickering, she woke up to this every morning. Although, she was glad that the girls were getting along so well, she honestly didn't expect them to become so close.
Kara grabbed 5 pancakes and put it on her plate while Alex grabbed 2, Eliza sat down and grabbed one for herself.
"Are you planning on joining the track team this year?" Eliza asked her daughter, she knew that Alex liked to do something new every year.
Alex was one year older than Kara, but since Kara was excelling in most of her subject, they moved her up to Alex's grade.
Alex swallowed the chunk of pancakes before answering, "Not sure yet, I was planning on joining the soccer team"
Kara smiled at this, "Isn't Maggie Sawyer on the soccer team?" she knew that Alex had a huge crush on the soccer player. Alex almost coughed up her pancakes while Kara innocently grabbed her 6th pancake to eat.
Alex slapped Kara on the arm, "She has nothing to do with this".
"Whatever you say" Kara muttered before shoving the pancake into her mouth to hide the sly smile from appearing on her face. She may have been on this planet for 3 years, but she knew when someone had a crush on someone else.
Alex's cheeks were blushing, she hated it when Kara teased her about Maggie, Eliza decided to cut in before the 2 started bickering again, "How about you Kara, do you want to join in any clubs?"
Kara looked up from her pancakes, she shook her head and grabbed her 10th pancake. When she came to Earth, she spent a whole year trying to adjust to the earth. She learnt how to speak English fluently while also adjusting to her new powers.
Kal-El from time to time, trained her. He visited her whenever he could, he was currently attending Metropolis University which kept him busy. Plus, he had his own life, he had Lois and his friends, he was also busy saving the city from various threats.
Kara however was stuck here in Midvale, she only started to attend school at the beginning of last year.
"I can't really do sports" Kara muttered. Running wasn't an option, she might accidentally use her super-speed, plus she had an unfair advantage when it came to lung capacity.
Soccer wasn't an option either, if someone accidentally ran into her, then they could break and arm or worse.
Eliza frowned at this statement, she knew how hard it was for Kara to adjust to a mundane life.
When Kara first went to school, Alex invited Kara to play soccer with her friends. One of her friends ran into Kara at full speed which led to the kid breaking his shoulder as he clashed into Kara.
Kara had never felt so guilty in her life, she hated having these powers. All it seemed to do was hurt people.
Alex picked up on the solemn mood in the room, she let out a cough, "Why not join the nerd club with Winslow?"
Kara rolled her eyes, "His name is Winn" she stated firmly, that was his father's name, and she knew that Winn was having family troubles with him.
Winn was her best friend, when everyone else picked on her for being weird, Winn had found her awkwardness and weirdness to be interesting. Winn knew that Kara didn't come from around here this place, he assumed she was a foreigner. So, he took responsibility to introduce Kara to every possible fandom that he could.
"And it's not a nerd club" Kara replied, she gently picked up her plate, she grabbed Alex's and Eliza's plate too in order to wash it.
Alex leaned back on her chair, "Winslow created a club, which only has one member in it, in order to use the school's laboratory equipment to invent new stuff while also using it to learn about the stars. Hence, Nerd Club"
Kara shook her head as she washed the dishes, she was excused last year for not picking a club since she was new, but it was a requirement this year. She was 16 years old with 2 friends, Alex and Winn.
"Come on girls, you are going to be late for the bus if you don't hurry up" Eliza said as she stood up from her chair, she walked over to Kara, "I'll finish the dishes, you go upstairs and get ready for school"
Kara nodded her head and made her way upstairs to get changed, after getting changed she grabbed her school back and packed her books. Alex was already downstairs, waiting outside for Kara with her headphones in.
Kara ran down the stairs, "Bye Sweetie, have a good day at school. Stay out of trouble Alex" Eliza shouted from the kitchen.
Kara walked outside to see her sister looking at her expectantly, "What? Do I have something on my face?", she started touching her face to see if there were any pancake syrup.
Alex reached into her black jacket's pocket and pulled out her glasses, "More like you're missing something on your face"
Kara shot her a grateful smile as put her glasses on. She blinked a few times to adjust to the lead that was supressing her x-ray vision, "Thank you"
"Always" Alex said as the 2 started walking down to the bus stop. The 2 were listening to their own music as they are walking down to the bus stop which only took 10-15 minutes.
Kara liked listening to her own music since it drowned out the other noises, Jeremiah created earphones made out of lead in order to suppress Kara's super-hearing. He also created an ear pierce that looked like a hearing aid, for her to use during parties or loud places in general.
The 2 waited at the bus stop for a couple of minutes, before finally seeing the bus come around the corner. The 2 hopped on.
Kara hated catching the bus, she could feel the glares being shot at her as she walked onto the bus and sat down, alone. Alex shot her a worried look, she was going to sit with her sister but Kara shook her head, indicating that she wanted to sit alone.
Alex had friends, she was the 'cool' sister, the one who made friends with ease, she was popular and Kara didn't want people to start calling Alex 'weird' just because she hangs out with her.
Kara decided to pump her music louder, she knew that the girls behind her were making fun of her, calling her a 'freak'. They whispered it though, soft enough for her to hear, but not loud enough for Alex to hear.
Everyone knew not to mess with Alex's kid sister. If they did, then they would end up with a bloodied nose or worse.
Kara leaned her head on the window and watched the trees, the birds and the cars fly pass her at lightning speed. She loved watching the trees sway in the wind, she loved hearing the birds sing to one another.
It reminded her of what life was like back on Krypton before the rain, the deaths and the poison.
Kara was deep in thought, she didn't notice the girl staring at her with green eyes. She felt someone tap her shoulder and instantly pulled out her earphones to see a tall young girl, staring at her awkwardly.
"Is it okay if I sit here?" the girl asked firmly. Her voice didn't waver which indicated that she wasn't nervous.
"Yeah of course" Kara said quickly, she moved her bag from the seat and put on the floor so the girl could sit. She noticed that the girls behind her were quiet now, and she wondered why.
The girl sat down, her posture was elegant and the way she moved made her seem like a princess.
"My name is Kara by the way" Kara said, the Danvers told her it was polite to introduce yourself to someone if they seem like a nice person. The girl looked at her with shock and confusion, she was surprised that Kara didn't know her name.
"Lena" She introduced herself, she wanted to see if Kara knew of her name. She didn't bother telling Kara her last name, if there was a slim chance that she could make a friend who doesn't want to use her, then she would take it.
"Oh" Kara said with a hint of disappointment, Lena stared at the young girl with confusion, she was wandering why Kara sounded so disappointed. She didn't show it, but she was afraid that Kara knew who she was.
"Problem?" Lena asked with her eyebrows raised
Kara quickly shook her head, she felt stupid for sounding disappointed, "I just expected you to have a princess name. Like Princess Cinderella, Princess Ariel, Princess Belle…"
Kara stopped rambling when she saw Lena smile, for some reason, Kara got the vibe that Lena didn't smile often, it was almost foreign.
"You don't like my name?" Lena asked with amusement, she knew that Kara didn't mean it like that, but she found it adorable to see Kara struggle for words.
"No, I didn't mean it like that" Kara stuttered, "I just meant you have that princess vibe to you"
"Princess vibe? Do you actually know any real princesses?" Lena noticed that Kara was only listing Disney princesses.
Kara was confused, "I thought they were based on real Princess", she assumed that they were real, or at least have some real context.
Lena didn't know why this girl was intriguing, maybe it was the fact that this girl didn't know her name, or maybe it was the innocent and naïve personality that the girl seemed to have.
The bus suddenly stopped and the teenagers started to pour out of the bus, Alex ran out of the bus with her friends. Kara saw how happy Alex was and didn't want to intrude. She didn't want to be the lost little sister who followed her cool older sister around.
Lena stood up and walked out of the bus with Kara trailing behind her, "It was nice to meet you, Kara", she realised that she didn't know the girl's last name.
"You too, Lena" Kara said, she shot her one last smile before walking off to her lockers. She put her lead earphones back in, she knew that the bell was going to ring any second now, and she didn't want to experience the pounding headache that was associated with it.
