I'm my own Hero

Chapter 1

Supergirl, one of America's favorite and beloved superheroes had just quit the Justice League Unlimited! Shocking isn't it, how a once team player could or can go all rogue on her former teammates. Nobody really knew how this happened or what made her decide to just up and quit like that, but you're asking the wrong person. The only people who really know what happened are either up on the League's Satellite, or, in her case, Flying off around our planet to make something of herself. What would she do, and would she still be the hero we all know and love?

I can't really say for sure, but I did hear a little something from the grape vine about why Supergirl left the JLU. See, it turns out that during a mission in the Amazon, Supergirl and some of the other heroes were fending off a robot army from destroying a town and gaining control of its Power Plant. Some mad scientist named Phineas Gomez wanted to gain control of the Power Plant and use it as a nuclear bomb to destroy the world (or at least a small part of it). The team was split into teams of two, Superman and Green Lantern on one team, Supergirl and The Martian on the other team. Now team one would keep the robot army busy, (a.k.a. beat up and destroy all of the robots.) while team two went to the Power Plant to stop the mad scientist.

Well, things were going pretty smooth and the JLU was winning without too much of a single problem to deal with. The boys were cleaning up the robots fast, and not too much damage was caused to the town. At the Plant, team two had just beaten up the guards who stood in their way to the mad scientist. Once they got to the scientist things weren't looking so well, because by the time they got inside Phineas had already started up the machine activating the heart of the Power Plant. I don't really know how to explain it just that the place was going on red alert, loud noises were being made and there was a countdown of sorts. Anyway, there wasn't much time to spare before the entire town got destroyed so the League had to do something and fast.

J'onn suggested that they try and shut down the machine just as soon as he read Gomez's mind; but Supergirl, being caught up in the severity of the moment (and the flashing lights and countdown certainly weren't helping) had another idea that required destroying the machine easy as that. Yet J'onn stated that was too much of a risk that could speed up the process, and then it would be too difficult to stop the machine. Okay, so yeah Supergirl had to admit that, that was a risky plan that might be too much to handle, but then she got another idea. When J'onn wasn't looking, and busy with Gomez, Supergirl snuck into the room where the heart of the Power Plant stood before her.

"Maybe if I can cool down the temperature, then the power source might just cool down enough to save the town?" Supergirl said to herself, as she took a deep breathe in before blowing out an icy wind onto the machine source.
7/27Thinking that it would soon be the end of the world for a certain town, next thing you know it's winter in California and as cold as the North Pole. Everything was going well, but little did Supergirl know that Gomez had a backup plan up his sleeve for just a certain emergency like so. While fighting with our Martian friend, he pushed a hidden button underneath a table which activated the floor tile to create an electrical power surge that got J'onn. And let me just say that if you think lighting, electrical wires and volts are dangerous alone, try them all together at the same time!

The electrical currents that got sent throughout his body made it feel as though his internal organs were melting, or getting fried to a crisp. Then again, perhaps more of the melting ice cream sensation then a fried egg. He tried to contact Supergirl for help, but she wouldn't listen to his telepathic message and kept her focus on what she thought was more important. Oh, and as if the electrical surge wasn't enough for J'onn, Gomez decided to crank it up a notch, activate another button and fire a laser blast at J'onn from the ceiling.

Luckily, Superman and Green Lantern had blasted their way inside after dealing with the robots to rescue J'onn and kidnap Gomez. Once inside, Superman used his super speed to grab Gomez by his lab coat collar, while Green Lantern used his ring to slice the lasers and then created a shield around J'onn to pick him up and get him off of the electrical floor.

After that was taken care of Superman tied up Gomez and gave him to Lantern to hold onto while he went to find Supergirl who was putting the finishing touches on chilling the power core into an ice ball. When she turned around to leave with confidence in her she was greeted by a very angry Superman. Supergirl didn't really understand why he was angry, but decided to try and calm him down with a few compliments. Yet that was not changing Superman's attitude and his angry face was on frozen as he stared at Supergirl.

"What is your problem Clark? I stopped the power core from exploding and saved the town; why do you look so angry at me? You should be thanking me for saving the day!" Supergirl pointed out to her cousin.

"You were careless back there Kara. Not only did you leave your teammate during a battle, you also ignored his telepathic plead for help! You can't just go off on your own like that when the team needs your help!" Superman shouted out in Supergirl's face.

Well this sudden reaction of Superman's startled Supergirl because she had never seen this side of her cousin before. It was like he was a different person, or like Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde. When she tried to speak to him Superman just kept scowling and shouting at her over how she was irresponsible, careless and not thinking of anyone but herself. He wouldn't even speak to her during the ride back to the Space Base.

Though once at the base Superman decided to pull Supergirl away from anymore missions, and to stay at the farm in Kansas until further notice. Now this really got Supergirl upset and when she tried to argue back at Superman, he kept cutting her off with his yelling. He was just so disappointed in Supergirl because he knew that she was so much better then this.

"Why does he have to get so ** off at me? I mean, its not like J'onn couldn't take care of himself, and that core had to be stopped." Supergirl said to herself as she stormed around in her room in the base for one more day until tomorrow when she would leave for Kansas.

"He just doesn't understand me. He doesn't understand that I'm my own person who's gotta make my own decision for the team's sake. Why can't he understand that? Why won't he listen to me?"

Taking out a piece of paper and pencil, Kara began to write down a letter for the League to read when they found it.

"Dear Justice League, especially you Kal, I'm leaving, I know you don't want that, but I just don't feel appreciated after so long. I've been trying my best to live up to the example you all try to set for me, and everyone else here, but no matter what I do, you always seem to come down on me, like I'm not as good or talented or noteworthy as the first seven of you are, or even some other members of the league. You always seem to think of me as just Superman's kid cousin. well, I may be your cousin Kal-el, but I'm tired of being treated like a kid! I just can't live with you not seeing me as the grown woman you wanted me to be, so that's why, I'm quitting the League, and I'm not going back to Kansas either, not yet. I love Ma and Pa, and I care about them, and the sage advice they'd give, but I just need some time alone to sort this out for myself, and no one trying to breath down my neck. I won't make a mess of things, people won't be afraid that I might kill them, all I want for right now is some time alone to be with only myself. And by the time you read this, I'll already be gone.

Goodbye

-Kara."

After writing the letter, she folded it and placed it next to her lamp.

"Well, this is it, I'm finally leaving the JLU for good. This will teach everyone what happens when you don't trust me." Kara said to herself and then snuck out of her room and too the teleporter.

Thanks to her super speed, she was able to get there in a giffy. Then after typing in the coordinates for Earth, Kara got into the teleporter and was then beamed down too Earth. Where she then flew off somewhere where she'd be appreciated and of help to somebody.

And that my friends is the begining of the first chapter of Our Teen Titan/Justice League Ultimate!
