!!SOUND EFFECTS!! "THOUGHTS"
Chapter One
Years ago on Planet Krypton. "Jor-El do you really believe Krypton will explode?" Jor-El's wife asked him as an earthquake rocked their home.
"Yes I do. That last earthquake is proof." !!BOOM!! "The council has continually ignored my warnings. So I've built two experimental rockets one for each of our twins, Kal-El and Kara Jor-El," Jor-El responded.
"But where will the rockets take them to?" his wife asked. "There are a lot of dangerous planets out there."
"I am sending them both to Earth, a planet where they will thrive and be able to do things no one else on the planet can do with powers far beyond those of mortal men," Jor-El answered proudly.
!!BOOM!!BOOM!!KABOOM!! Several adjacent buildings around them came crashing down as the ground under them ripped open and swallowed up some vehicles and people who screamed to their deaths.
"There's no time I have for calculations now. The planet is about to explode. Our children will be in suspended animation until they get to Earth. I don't know which one will get their first but I'm sure at least one of them will make it," Jor-El explained as he and his wife put each of their children in a rocket. Then Jor-El pressed some buttons and sent the rockets off. And then... !!KABOOM!!
Kal-El's rocket got to Earth first. Fifteen years later, Kara Jor-el's rocket arrived on Earth.

Years later in the Bensonhurst, New York City.
"Do you see how beautiful our new daughter, Gina is, Victor?"
"Yes, she is Antonia," Victor Sanducci said to his wife as she held their daughter in her arms after having given birth to her. "She will grow up to be a wonderful woman."
"There are a few more tests so we'll have to leave her in the nursery ward," their doctor, Max Malone explained as he walked into the Mrs. Sanducci's hospital room.
But after he took the baby away and went through the motions of the test, Dr. Malone was negligent, accidentally killing the little girl due to the fact he was high on drugs while doing the test!
"What will I do? I'm screwed. My career is over! But wait. Wasn't there crying in that rocket that crash landed in my large backyard or was I so high that I dreamed all that up? Just to be sure, I'm going to go check and see. But I need to get there before my gardeners arrive."
"Mr. and Mrs. Sanducci. I need to keep Gina over night for some tests. You can stay here and rest in your room, Mrs. Sanducci. both of you can see your daughter tomorrow as long as there's no other complications," the doctor said with a straight face.
"Is there something wrong with my baby? Antonia asked with concern.
"I don't there are any problems but I just want to be sure. There's no need for concern. I'll discuss what the results are tomorrow."

"I hope that baby is a girl assuming the kid's still alive. If I get out of this I will never take drugs or drink again, I swear!" the doctor said as he rushed home.
"Watch where you're going?!" a motorist who almost crashed into the Max's Lamborgini called out as Max had sped through the red light, driving faster than he had ever done in his entire life.
When the doctor got home, he checked inside of the rocket in his backyard. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" the doctor exclaimed to no one in particular as the baby girl looked back up at him and cried. "This girl looks exactly like Gina from the hospital. Someone up there loves me!"
Max Malone quickly double backed to the hospital with the baby in tow but more carefully than last time. After sneaking in the hospital he found the dead baby and switched it with it's live look a like. Then he got rid of the dead baby.
Next day, in the morning, he brought the baby to the Sanduccis and told them the child was fine. "I really dodged the bullet there," the doctor thought to himself with relief.

A few days later, the Sanduccis took their child to a Catholic Church to be baptized. The priest had acquired a great deal of respect and had built of a great reputation as someone who was be able to cancel out curses and perform exorcisms. He also seemed to know when people were lying to him and knew what was wrong with people and what they needed.
While the priest was proceeding with the ritual, he stopped for a moment. "I sense a weakness to magic in this child. Otherwise she will thrive. I am going to pray this weakness off of her. I also sense she will become a great hero someday," the priest explained. After saying some prayers, he baptized the baby.

Over the years Gina proved to be very atheletic. Her parents had put her in tae kwon do, wing chun kung fu and jiu jitsu classes when she was very young. She also learned acrobatics and breakfall skills. Becoming a great athlete, she excelled in boxing, kickboxing, Greco-Roman wrestling and street fighting. She learned everything quickly, getting black belts earlier than most did, winning many tournaments. She also won most of her wrestling matches and street fights.
While she was taking martial arts, an old woman noticed her. "She is a lot more powerful than she looks. Her potential is great. Maybe I'll take her on as a student," Madame Chang thought to herself.
Her father, Victor, was a professional baker and pastry chef so she learned these skills as well. She did so well in school that she got a scholarship to a good college, learninged how to use computers, accounting and other skills. She actually went to college early and graduated when she was seventeen, proving to be an overachiever.
By the time she was 17, Gina stood at a height of five feet ten inches tall, weighing a fit 150 pounds. Her measurements were a busty 40-26-38. Each of her well muscled arms were 12 inches around. She was very beautiful and powerful looking with long blond, luxurious hair and blue eyes, looking like the cross between a bodybuilder and a fitness model.
After Gina's college graduation ceremony, her family went home. Waiting for them were four suspicious looking men, wearing dark clothes. "Mr. Sanducci." the biggest one of them said with a thick Russian accent, "You owe us protection. Pay us or suffer the consequences."
"I don't owe you anything and I don't have to pay any protection. Most of the mafia have been arrested and put in jail where they belong. Now get out of here!" Mr. Sanducci said.
"Wrong answer, comrade." As the men moved in to attack her family, Gina attacked first with a great deal of speed. When she got in the midst of them, she kneed them in the groin area and punched them in their solar plexuses, taking them down with a great deal of pain and suffering.
"Gina how did you move so fast?" her mother asked.
"I've done a lot of training and some hard fights on the street, Mama," Gina answered. After her father had called the police and told them what happened, the men were taken to the hospital.
"Wow! That was amazing! I think she's a metahuman. If I train her in my martial arts style she can make me a lot of money winning tournaments," Madam Chang thought to herself after having watched the whole event.
"Your daughter must be really tough to take on four of Ivan Kolaff's men. But you better be careful of Ivan Kolaff. He's the most powerful member of the Russian Mafia and he has taken over this area. Maybe you should pay them anyway. Even the police are afraid of them," the cop who had showed up after Gina's fight said.
"I won't pay protection. I won't," Mr. Sanducci said with determination.
"Your funeral, Pops," the cop thought as he wrote the report.

Next week, while Gina and her parents were working in the bakery, a bomb went off, destroying the shop killing Gina's parents in the process. Among the wreckage Gina stirred and got up.
"One of them survived, the daughter I think," one of the men who placed the timebomb said.
"Get her. We'll bring her to the boss. Maybe we use her for prostitution."
As one of the men went to her and tore her shirt off, Gina got up. Even though he was surprised, he still took out a blackjack and attempted to hit her with it. !!WIFF!! "What the..."
"What do you thugs think you're doing?!" Gina exclaimed with a look of anger and determination. "Are you the ones who killed my parents?!"
"Shut up, you bitch! You will soon know your place!" the goon said as he raised his hand to strike her again. But Gina struck him first with a right cross knocking him out and breaking his jaw.
"We will finish you off this time." !!BLAM!!BLAM!!BLAM!! The other thug had a look of outright shock on his face as the bullets bounced off of Gina's indestructible body, shredding her loose clothing, leaving her tight underwear intact. "What are you made of?" the thug asked as he quickly went to his the car and grabbed a high level uzi and blasted her with it. !!BOOM!!
"Ungh!" Gina moaned, still woozy from the bombing thus passing out unharmed.
Then Madam Chang appeared out of nowhere and knocked out the other man with a shiatsu attack. As soon as she saw that the coast was clear she picked up Gina and carried her away.

A few hours later, Gina woke up in a room she had never seen before. "What is this place?!" she said out loud.
"You are in my humble home," the ancient woman said to Gina. "You have a great deal of potential in the martial arts. I know you want revenge on the people who killed your family. So I will train you and make you invincible. And after you've won some tournaments and underground fighting bouts, you can go back home and get your revenge."
"Hey! You're that lady I saw at the last tournament I was in. You're a friend of the sensei, arencha?" Gina asked with a thick New York accent.
"Yes. I in fact trained your sensei. I can train you as well. As soon as I'm finished training you, you will have surpassed your previous sensei"
"Really? No frickin way!"
"Yes. Your potential is that great. So are you interested?"
"Sure I'll learn from ya. Then I'm going back and kick the frickin asses of those Russky gangsters."
"Good. We'll begin your training now."

Over the months, while she trained Gina, Madam Chang perceived Gina's super powers, setting up "training exercises" for Gina so that it would seem as if she "learned" her powers. "I bet she's related to Superman in some way," Madam Chang thought to herself while she trained her in secret in an out of the way place in her native Taiwan.
"Now Gina few people have the capability to fly, but I think you can do it if you concentrate and train hard. I've already taught you gung fu, iron skin, taichi, speed hitting and my secret kung fu style," Madam Chang said with an air of authority.
"I dunno, Teach. Flying? Yous taught me a lot of stuff, but flying?" Gina asked increduously.
"We'll start of with just levitation. Here I'll show you," Madam Chang said as she levitated five inches off of the ground. "Now I am an old woman so there's only so much I can do. But you are young so who knows how far you can go."
Madam Chang also taught her Chinese acrobatics, breakfall, and contortionism. She also "taught" her how to break out of chains, bend steel with her bare hands and shatter boulders and rocks. Eventually, she entered Gina in tournaments and street fighting competitions which Gina always won. Fortunately for her opponents, Gina had learned how to hold back on her punches so as not to kill anyone.
At one of these tournaments, Bruce Wayne was a spectator having had some business in town as Batman, having dealt with some Chinese mafia gangsters who had fled Gotham after Batman had busted up their operations. Fleeing back to Taiwan hadn't helped since Batman had tracked them down there.
"This Gina Sanducci has powers similar to Superman. Her speed and strength are unparalled and every attack bounces off of her, even the attacks which would kill or maim most people don't faze her," Bruce thought to himself as he watched Gina's fight.
Everyone knew that she was Madam Chang's star pupil which didn't really surprise anyone since Madam Chang had a reputation for being a very competent teacher. Even Bruce had trained under her for a period of time as a teenager, finding out she wasn't very honest and that she had actually stolen some gold and silver from prominent gang leaders. No one figured out who had stolen the gold and silver except for Bruce Wayne himself.
She even had Bruce himself help her steal some of other precious objects. Bruce had went along with it, learning a great deal about thievery and the Asian criminal element in addition to martial arts from Madam Chang. "I think I'll pay Madam Chang a visit, after I investigate Gina Sanducci," Bruce thought to himself.

As Dr. Malone turned on the light he saw a dark figure wearing a cape and cowl. "Batman! What are you doing here? Aren't you just an urban legend. You can't be real! I haven't gotten high in years!" the doctor exclaimed in surprise.
"I want to know about that rocket that's buried in your backyard. I know you were fired from the hospital for being on drugs and that you are on probation. Now tell me everything you know about Gina Sanducci." Batman asked in an intimidating manner.
"I-I don't remember every baby I helped deliver," the doctor said, trembling.
"Do you remember the ones your negligence got killed? I know the real Gina Sanducci died because of your negligence while on drugs. I am sure the police would like to know about that as well."
"All right, all right. I'll tell you everything. Just go away and leave me alone after I tell you," the doctor said trembling with guilt, having been feeling bad about the real Gina Sanducci's death. Thus he came clean and told Batman everything.

While Gina was training, Madam Chang was counting all the money Gina had won. Then she sensed a familiar presence.
"Greetings Madam Chang," Lady Shiva said.
"What do you want?" Madam Chang asked nervously.
"The ganglords have figured out who robbed them. They found some of their gold in a hidden room on your property. Now they have hired me to kill you and your prize student," Shiva said in a matter of fact manner.
Chang knew she couldn't beat Shiva so she tried to bribe her. "You want some of the gold? How about if I split it with you?" She seemed to reach for some money but actually had a smoke bomb hidden. Tossing the exploding smoke bomb in Shiva's direction, the wily old woman got up. When the smoke had cleared, she was gone.
Madam Chang ran outside to where Gina was training with Lady Shiva hot on her heels. "Gina help!" Gina turned around and saw Shiva about to attack her teacher. Moving at superhuman speed(something she believed Madam Chang had taught her how to do) she placed herself between Lady Shiva and Madam Chang.
"You think you can stop me? Do you think you're as good as me?" Lady Shiva laughed in her face.
"What is this? You laugh at me? You laugh at me? I go your laughs. I got your laughs right here, pal," Gina said with a thick New York accent.
"That's just fine I'll kill you first," Shiva said as she attacked.
Gina blocked her kicks and punches and then counter attacked. She was so fast that Shiva could not block or evade all her rapid fire attacks. Thus Shiva went down with a broken nose, jaw and cracked ribs. Fortunately for Shiva, Gina was still holding back.
"Kill me and my student will you?" Madam Chang said as she walked over to Shiva's prone form. "I will deal with you. You should have taken the deal I offered you."
"Hold it, Madam Chang!" a strong dark voice said. Gina and Chang turned to see Batman.
"How dare you talk to your former teacher that way!" Chang said with an air of arrogance. "That's right. I know that I trained you a long time ago, Jake Thompson.(that was the name Batman used when he trained under Chang) I always know my students."
"Save it, Chang." Batman said coldly. "I'm not going to let you kill Shiva."
"Gina stop him!" Chang ordered.
"Uh, I don't know. I don't think I oughtta fight Batman. I heard he was invincible. I wasn't even sure he existed," Gina said with uncertainty.
"Don't sell yourself short. You beat Shiva and she's the deadliest assassin there is," Chang said confidently. But before anything could happen. Batman went over to Gina and knocked her out with one punch. No one noticed the green rock that was in his hand as he struck her, having put the rock away without anybody seeing it.
Both Shiva and Chang were in shock at Batman's quick victory over Gina. "Now Chang, I am going to take Gina away. You've made enough money off of her." Then he turned towards Shiva. "I suggest you not bother Madam Chang anymore Shiva. Chang's student is the loyal type. She might want revenge if you kill her teacher," Batman said as he picked Gina up and carried her away.
Lady Shiva looked up for a moment then passed out, not being in any kind of shape to defeat Madame Chang at the moment.
"Blast it!" Madam Chang thought. "Gina was the best student I ever had! I better take my money and run. Shiva may come back for me after she has recovered. So I will have to disappear. But how did Batman defeat Gina so easily? Gina was practically invincible."

Gina woke up in a strange room. As she got up and opened the door, she saw Batman talking to some other super heroes. Then she noticed Superman was there!
"It looks like our guest is awake," the Martian Manhunter said, motioning to Gina.
"What's goin on here? And where am I?" Gina asked as she looked around.
"You're in the Justice League Satellite," Flash said admiring the view of her.
"What are ya, the Flash or somethin?" Gina asked incredulously.
As Superman looked at her, he could have sworn he had seen her before. "We need to run some tests on you. Batman believes you are a relative of mine," Superman said.
"I'm not related to ya, unless you're Italian. My parents were Victor and Antonia Sanducci," Gina stated.
"They are not your biological parents. You were switched at birth. You actually came from another planet. I strongly suspect the same planet Superman came from," Batman interjected.
"We just need to do some tests to be sure. I've seen some of the things you've been able to do. You can actually fly, can't you?" Superman asked, regarding the powerful girl.
"Uh, yeah but that's due to martial arts trainin. Madam Chang taught me a lot. I learned how to move fast, shatter boulders with my bare hands; Madam Chang improved my martial arts greatly. I've never got my ass kicked ever since she started trainin me," Gina explained.
"Hmm. Let's run the tests and find out for sure," Superman stated.

"The tests have come in and we are brother and sister. I've also checked out the rocket you came in on. It is identical to the rocket I came in on," Superman stated.
"No way!" Gina exclaimed.
"I want you to search your deep subconscious memories as I help you bring them out," the Martian Manhunter said as he used his telepathy. Eventually all the memories of the planet Krypton came to her. All the events of her life became vivid to her and everyone there; even being switched at birth.
"Gee. I'm surprised at all this. Here I thought I was just a great martial artist. I still want go after those Russian mobsters who killed my parents, though," Gina said with determination. Then she gave Superman a sisterly hug. "Nice ta meetcha big brother."

Gina was trained thoroughly in the use of her powers by Superman and got a uniform similar his. Even though she wasn't quite as strong as Superman, she was better skilled in hand to hand combat due to the training of Madam Chang.
In time a secret identity was made for her. She learned how to stoop a little so as to look shorter, put hair in a bun, wore glasses and made herself look not a little nerdish. After learning Kryptonian and it's history, she learned all the languages of Earth. She also learned to speak more proper English and be more soft spoken at least in her civilian I.D.
Her new civilian name was Agnes Stapleton, someone who had died but no one knew anything about. This person was actually born in Gotham City. After the original Agnes Stapleton's background was checked, it was found that she had no family and had the same kind of skills Gina had. Gina was taught to disguise herself as Agnes and to look like her while in civilian I.D. After being set up in a house near Bensonhurst, she set up her own business with her computer online.
Eventually Supergirl was ready to make her appearance.
