Chapter Two

Options

"I have to what?"

It was morning at the Kent residence in Smallville. Lara had been eating breakfast when Ma Kent had brought up the subject that she will have to at least get a degree. Lara had never finished high school when she dropped out in the middle of sophomore year, three years earlier.

"At least finish your education Lara," Ma told her.

"You guys want to kick me out of the house already?" Lara exclaimed.

"They are many other options for you out there rather than being here on the farm," Ma Kent told her.

"Why can't I live here with you and Pa?" Lara asked her curious.

"There is much to offer in the World rather than being here…"

Lara sighed, "But Ma, I hardly got any interest in anything else."

"Why don't you have Chloe help you?" Ma asked her.

"Maybe I'll let her help," Lara said.

"Good, that's all I ask," Ma Kent told her.

Lara nodded at her.

Later on, she walked out of the house, looking out at the empty corn fields. She had never thought about what the future will bring her. She never was a big thinker into the big unknown space of her adult life. All of the people she knew in high school surely doing something with their life at this very moment even her best friend Chloe was doing something working at the Planet.

I save people lives as Supergirl, she thought looking at the sky, not that I get paid to do it thought.

She nodded her head, making her decision.

I'm going to have to ask Chloe for help, she thought.

With that thought in her head, Lara took off in superspeed.

METROPOLIS

Lara arrived in front of the famed Daily Planet, glancing at the remarkably old building, before entering the large entrance which was as busy looking as Lara ever saw it before. Many well dressed people walking everywhere, most of not, all of them were on their cell phones and Lara used her X-ray vision to try and locate Chloe, finding the blonde at her desk working at her computer.

Lara took the elevator up to her floor, and then approached her friend's desk.

"Hey Chloe."

The blonde looked up at her in surprise.

"Lara? What are you doing here?"

"Need your help for something," Lara told her.

"My help?"

"Yeah, Ma Kent told me I should finish my education…so I can get a real job unlike the other one," Lara said, "So, I was wondering if they are those programs for the people that didn't graduate to at least get a diploma so I can go to college and get a degree."

"I can probably help with that," Chloe said.

"Sure thanks, that will be great," Lara smiled before freezing.

"What is it?"

"Trouble," Lara said, "At the nuclear plant...it's about to blow."

She took off in super speed, switching from her casual clothes to her Supergirl outfit, before taking off into the sky.

When she landed Supergirl already noticed that the people were clearing out the area and she made straight into the reactor. The inside was stifling hot which Supergirl noticed that it was on the verge of blowing up. She took a deep breath before letting out a icy cold gale of wind cooling the reactor down, covering the large cylinders with frost.

Then the alarm stopped blearing.

With a satisfied smile, Supergirl walked out of the room and out of the Nuclear Plant earning many cheers from the people who had seen her. She waved at them before taking off into the sky.

A few minutes later, Lara was once again at the Planet, when a young man approached Chloe's desk, holding up the camera in her hand.

"Hey Chloe,"

"Jimmy…what's up?"

"Chief got me working on getting pictures of Supergirl," he said, "Kinda hard to do with a girl that can move like the Flash."

"That's harsh…what for?"

"Who knows…who are you?"

"Jimmy," Chloe said, "This is my friend from Smallville, Lara Kent. Lara, Jimmy Olsen."

Lara shook his hand.

"Whoa," Jimmy noticed, "Strong grip."

"Works out a lot," Lara told him.

"I can tell," Jimmy answered, eying her.

Lara raised an eyebrow at that comment, making Chloe clear her throat, snapping Jimmy out of his ogling of Lara's body.

"Was it all you needed?" Chloe asked him.

"Yeah…sure," Jimmy said walking away, nearly knocking himself over from a garbage can.

Chloe let out a sigh, "Jimmy's got a crush on you now, great."

Lara glanced at her now surprised, "he barely even knows me."

"You don't need to know someone to have a crush Lara," Chloe answered her, a small smirk on her face, "You of all people should know that."

Lara blushed slightly, "That's a low blow Chloe."

"Yeah yeah, but hey, I found something on your thing," Chloe said, seating at her computer.

"Really where?"

"Gotham University," Chloe told her.

"Gotham?" Lara repeated, "What about here in Metropolis?"

Chloe searched through the site, "There is one but you will have to wait till next year."

Lara hung on Chloe's shoulder, watching the screen reading the information.

"Four to six months," she read, "That's a freaking long time."

"It's not that bad," Chloe told her, "It will be over before you know it."

"Better be, when the registrations are," Lara asked pulling out pen and paper to take notes.

"You can apply this week for the fall semester," Chloe told her.

"Great, I'll talk it over to my parents," Lara said, standing up, but thanks for the help Chloe."

"Sure, anytime,"

Yeah, Lara is going to be going to college in Gotham, yay.

Jacques0 out.
