Yes! I'm back for more Supergirl: Lost Galaxy Arc! Thanks for for supporting the previous one, so I decided to write a sequel. I hope you all like it!
Chapter 1: Back in Business
Thursday…
(Scene: Terra Venture City, Mirinoi/Kendrix' POV)
I was flying above Terra Venture City. I finished work today, I only popped into the lab to check on things and I needed to clear my head. What better way to do it than be one with the birds? The sky, it's a completely different world, quiet, peaceful. I found something soothing by just flying and my thoughts on life just leave my mind. I then heard a voice, my Super Hearing picking up radio frequency.
"Kendrix? Kendrix?" It was Eliza, my sister. Former Galaxy Pink One. She died saving Cassie, Astro Pink Ranger. My big sister's death was a major wake-up call for me, it taught me even with all these wonderful god-like powers, I can't save everyone. It's the harsh truth I had to come to terms with. The unwritten rule in the Guide to Being a Superhero.
"Yes Eliza?",
"D.E.C.A picked you up leaving the city and flying around. Is something wrong? Is it work?",
"No! No!" I responded quickly, "Nothing like that. Just clearing my head. It's peaceful up here." Then I started picking something else up.
"Really? You think you're Supergirl? If I pushed you, could you fly?" Said an unknown girl. Her voice was mocking.
"You look so stupid in that." I sighed. Typical bullying, picking on kids that look below their standards or they think it's fun. Personally, I know how it feels; being from another planet made things harder, every small thing fascinated me, I could stare at the birds for hours on end. My superior intelligence made me a target for bullies, but Eliza was always there for me.
"Sorry Eliza, small problem." I zoomed back, heading towards the school.

Just as the group of girls were ganging up on the younger person, no less than six years old, I landed behind them. I quickly deduced that the girl in the leather jacket was the ring leader.
"I beg to differ." I said behind them, then walking up to the young girl. "I think you look pretty cool…" I used my X-ray Vision and I saw the girl's name. "Jessica." The older girls' jaws dropped in awe, surprised that I knew the kid's name.
"You're friends with Supergirl!" She gasped. Jessica just smiled and proudly.
"Yeah. I'm friends with all the nice girls." I put a firm hand on the pre-schooler's shoulder. "Catch you later kiddo!" And I shot off. Tick. Bullying intervention accomplished. I began making my way back to my apartment, the one I share with my sister.
Evening…
(Scene: Kendrix' and Elizabeth's Apartment, Terra Venture City, Mirinoi/Kendrix' POV)
I landed into the apartment. Eliza recently fitted in a human size window with side doors, as she noted my habit of flying in rather than being a normal person and walk through the door. Some old habits never die hard. I changed into my normal clothes, sat down and turned on the TV. It was a talk show on the channel. Wait a second! Is that Commander Stanton!? What's he doing on that show!? I began listening to the programme.
"Well everyone, we are glad to have a man, a commander who has been recently voted Powerful/Influential Person in the city. Please may I introduce you to Commander Stanton!",
"Thank you for having me here.",
"It's our honour Mr Stanton.",
"So how does it feel to be the most powerful man in Terra Venture City?",
"I don't believe in being powerful, it's what I do that makes me powerful." I smiled slightly. Good choice of words commander.
"Next topic. Supergirl.",
"Aw yes. Supergirl. The city's favourite heroine!",
"Ever since the crash and the construction of the city, crime has suddenly spiked and then, when Supergirl appears out of blue, it has dropped.",
"Well Supergirl holds a strong presence in this city. She strikes fear into those who wish to disrupt the peace." That's true. You still have some brave idiots out there still trying to commit crime when I'm around. I have met Commander Stanton on the rare occasion, as my alter ego. He tried to convince me to work with him and his military, but I turned down the offer. As who I am, I already work there. If I work with them as Supergirl, they'll become suspicious of 'Kendrix' disappearances' and they'll put two and two together.
"Rumours have it that you are friends with Supergirl." Stanton chuckled,
"I wouldn't say we're friends yet. More like acquaintances. The last time I met her, I offered her to work with my men and I. Though she declined and I will respect her decision, but rest assure, we do get on and see eye to eye.",
"How would you describe Supergirl since you're one of the rare few who actually made real conversation with our city's guardian?",
"Supergirl… is the kindest and most caring person you'd ever meet. She has a selfless heart. Helping others and expect nothing in return. A quality we sadly lack sometimes. We could learn something from her. Our hero brings out the best in us, she teaches us to be ourselves and not what others want you to be. She's not only a superhero, but an inspiration to all of us." Commander Stanton's words touched my heart, as I hear the audience clapping on screen. He's getting more people to trust me. No one out there had said kinder words about me. I will keep this up: inspiring people and keeping the city I now call home, safe.
At first, I thought being Supergirl would be a burden, make my life more complicated than it already is. It's not, I have brought out the best in people without actually knowing it. It's good to be back after spending time on Earth with my cousin Kara and my brother. I didn't think finding them would be so easy.
Well this was a little teaser. This story maybe a tad shorter, Ch wise, but… hopefully you will all give it a fair chance. Red K drama will be entering soon.
