Kara sat on the fence outside the Kent house in a yellow tee, bleached shorts and sneakers, the warm wind blowing her hair around. Ma Kent walked around inside the house, cooking something up for dinner and completely unaware of her daughter right outside.

She felt something rub against her legs. "Hey, Krypto," she pet the top of the dog's head as it panted, "how you doing, boy?" She stepped off the fence and crouched down, rubbing Krypto's head and making cooing sounds. "You've missed me, haven't you? Yes you have, yes you have. Such a good boy…always such a good boy."

She stood up and brushed her hair back, looking off towards the town of Smallville. "…I feel like I should be doing something…"

Krypto's ears perked up, and he growled at the barn behind the house. Not wanting to risk ignoring him, Kara flew over the house and to the barn doors. Slowly she opened them up as Krypto flew down to her side. At first she found no one inside, nothing more than a horse and piles of hay. Until she stepped in and saw something shift in the shadows.

"Who's there?"

A purple hooded figure floated out, scaring the horse right past her and out into the fields. She couldn't see his face under the darkness of the hood, nor his feet or hands, as though there was nothing underneath. "Hey," she moved close to them, "I asked who you are. Now answer me before-"

"Before you what," his voice was deep and sounded like the wind outside, "freeze me? Use your heat vision? Super strength? You cannot bend time. I alone have such power."

"…Time?"

A chuckle echoed from under the hood. "Who could possibly know more about time…than the Time Trapper?"

OUT OF TIME

"Time Trapper?" Kara stepped closer to him. "…Why are you here?"

"To see what I've created, and to enjoy this…order."

She felt a strange anger in her. "Order? Order?" She grabbed the front of his cloak and held him close to her, glaring into the darkness of the hood. "I've heard others speak of this order you want, and it only destroys the order that was already there!"

Another chuckle. "You are young and innocent. You know not of what you speak. Don't you see the world around you? You and your legionnaires are happy now, aren't you?"

She let him go and rubbed her temples. "Legionnaires? Wait…what are you talking about? The Legion…," she felt a headache coming on, "the future…Brainiac…what am I doing here?" She put the pieces together as the fogginess of her mind vanishing. "I should be in the thirty-first century, leading the Legion of Superheroes against Brainiac!"

"But you're happy now, at ease without the worries of an imminent war," Time Trapper reasoned with her, floating around her as she followed him with her eyes, "as are your allies. I've created a pocket in time where you live in a Smallville without such troubles…unless you wish it."

Kara backed away from him as Krypto barked. "Brainiac sent you, didn't he?"

"No one controls me," Time Trapper snapped at her, raising his arms for emphasis, "the Eternity Glass is beyond any mortal's grasp! This is my work alone, and I shall keep it and you here forever!"

Kara threw a punch at him but he had already disappeared. "Wait, come back!" She looked around the barn but there was no one there. "Dang it! Krypto," she glanced at the dog, "can you track his scent?"

Krypto sniffed around before racing out of the door. She started to follow until Mrs. Kent popped her head in. "Kara? Is everything okay out here?"

"Its fine, Ma," she pecked her on the cheek and ran after Krypto, "I'm just going into town for a while!"

"What about lunch?"

"I'll warm it up later!" She caught up to her dog and ran along the side of the dirt road. "I can't let anything distract me, anyway."

It wasn't long before they found their way to the outskirts of Smallville, standing at the beginning of the downtown shopping district. "Okay boy, let's find ourselves a warlock…that's what he'd be, right?"

Krypto seemed to give her a shrug as they walked down the sidewalk, passing people she recognized from home. From her real Smallville. "This is super eerie, Krypto. How close are we to this Time Trapper?"

Krypto sniffed around and started walking into the hardware store. Kara was about to follow him again before catching sight of someone out of the corner of her eye. "…Is that…?"

It was a redhead walking around the corner of the candy shop, but she could have sworn shed seen an all too familiar scar over his right eye. Leaving Krypto to the investigation she ran across the street and around the shop behind the figure in plaid and denims, who was laughing alongside a blonde in a pink tank and black jeans.

"…Lightning Lad? Saturn Girl?"

They turned back to her, and she immediately knew they were her fellow legionnaires. "You guys really are here," she stepped up to them, smiling, "but…why are you out of costume?"

They shared a look of confusion. "Sorry, we're new to Smallville," Saturn Girl fixed her ponytail, "and the humidity is starting to drive me insane. Do you live around here?"

Her smile was fading. "What are you talking about? Of course I live here. I mean, not in this version of Smallville, since it's a pocket dimension created by someone known as the Time Trapper, but…look, we'll get to him later. Right now I need your help finding the others…if there are others…what are you guys staring at?"

"Sorry, miss," Lightning Lad wrapped his arm around Saturn Girl's shoulders, "it's just that you're a big more energetic then our friends of the city. I knew it was a good idea moving out here from Metropolis."

The duo walked away from her as her arms dropped. "…"

"And, by the way," Lightning Lad glanced at her over his shoulder, "it's Garth and Imra. Later!"

After the craziness of the last episode, I thought's it be nice to give us something a bit more...unusual and light. I've brought back a villain from the old comics (and from the "Trapped in Time" animated feature with the justice league, Karate Kid and Dawnstar), a guy who knows how to bend time to his will. Looks like Supergirl's going to have to deal with not only finding her fellow legionnaires, but somehow convincing them all of this is a lie...that is, if she even wants to...

Until the next chapter!
