"Eve pass me the slide please." Christine asked, holding out a gloved hand towards Eve who was standing nearby dressed in a white lab coat, holding the glass slide which she handed over to her. Christine then proceeded to slip it under the microscope; there was a series of different lights shined down on it as she examined whether the cells were producing the chemical or not.
"They're synthesizing the biofuel." Christine said excitedly, which was understandable as highly flammable chemicals currently being made in the cells under the microscope can be used as an alternative fuel source to crude oil; Evelyn looked at her nervously.
"Aren't you worried they might spread and cause environmental problems?" She asked her friend looking at the genetically engineered cells, not only could they produce the flammable fuels, but they were also fire proof and heat proof to incredible high temperatures.
"It's set to only live in human cells for lab testing… beside we never could get prokaryotes to express the genes in their plasmids they're just too small for our needs." She responded as moved the slide out and into a storage container. She then filed in a clip board and turned to face Evelyn.
"So how long until your project is back up and running?" she asked jovially, Evelyn groaned in response.
"At least three weeks until we can proceed with the experiment… not to mention we need to install the new safety feature's Victor designed." Evelyn said gloomily as she watched her friend fill in her lab book and began the laborious process of taking off her safety equipment; once that was done the pair headed off to get there stuff. Evelyn watched her friend taking two capsules per her usual routine. Once that was done they headed off to join the rest of their group at the canteen.
"So Evelyn you ready for when normal classes start back up again in September?" Christine asked as the two girls made their way through the modern style hallway; the red haired thought about it.
"I'm sure I'll manage the workload just fine." She replied beaming as Victor walked up to them; Evelyn frown at seeing how nervous he looked, he stopped in front of them.
"I just remembered I need to talk to Garfield about the project bye." Christine said quickly leaving the two of them standing there; Evelyn suddenly released what was going on.
"Hey Eve mind if I have a quick word with you?" Victor asked, rubbing the back of his head, it was clear he was mustering up his courage for what he was about to do.
"Ehm sure" It was all she could say watching her close friend breathe deeply.
"You know about that café I was talking about… how would you like to… to maybe go there with me on a… on a date." He finally managed to get the words out; it must have taken him along time to summon up the will to act on his feelings. Evelyn was stuck in horrible position, she need to let him down in way which would hurt his feelings or damage their friendship; she felt sweat drip down her back as she thought quickly of what to say, she noticed the look of worry appearing on Victor's face as the silence grew longer.
"I…i… Listen victor I'm really really faltered about you asking me out and everything… I mean you're a really nice, fun guy," she began already seeing his face falling, "It's just you're not my… eh… my type… it's me not you I swear!" she added hurriedly seeing the hurt look in his face.
"Oh ok then I understand… listen I'm going to head home early so… see you some other time." He said leaving without looking at her; she groaned and began bashing her head against the wall until a trickle of blood appeared on her face. 'Why did he have to ask me out… why not Natasha who has a crush on him… great like I don't have enough on my mind as it is." She sighed before turning around and heading for the exit, she could probably catch the train if rushed over to the station quickly enough.
"She rejected him." Garfield surprised voice sounded at the groups table, the mike that Christine had planted on Evelyn as she had left the two in the corridor had picked up the entire exchange. "Not her type the guys built like a statue he's smart, the works… hey you guys don't think she's playing for the other team do you?"
"It's possible that she might not be attracted to…" Christine cut off with a glance to Natasha who raised an eyebrow at her.
"Or she might just see him as a friend and nothing more." The girl responded simple before sighing. "Either way things are going to get pretty awkward between those two now."
"Well if victor got shot down then I've got no chance in hell with hooking up with her now." Garfield said gloomily; and after he spent so much time helping Victor get the nerve up, sure he had been mad that he wanted to ask out he girl he was after. but he was also his good firend and deep down he knew Evelyn didn't have an interest in him; but he thought she might have some for Victor.
Elsewhere on campus…
"So she has Moth syndrome, well that's to be expected since she's the firefly's kid." Mikron said holding the bottle of prescription medication in his hand; before smiling evilly. "I wonder what will happen when she starts taking sugar capsule's twice a day." He started laughing as he hid the bottle in his locker, before heading over to his workshop. "I guess we'll see if the placebo effect really does work."
July 19th West residence 23:50 CDT 2010
After her night time patrol had ended, Evelyn was still up trying to find a way to make things right with Victor; she was considering maybe telling him the reasons why. Well she was going to tell him that she was attract to women and not any of the wally stuff; she undressed and put some PJ's on before clambering into her bed.
"I'll ask Kara for some advice maybe she'll give me a second opinion." she thought as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
July 20th west residence 7:30 CDT 2010
Evelyn awoke to the familiar, but not welcome, feeling of pain in her abdomen region as well as a general feeling of shittyness. 'Just great now I feel shit both physically and emotionally… it's going to be one of those days." She thought as she tried to get up and failed, so she instead rolled off the bed, this caused the throbbing pain to get worse; she wasn't having the best start to her day.
"Aw" she said as she half crawled half dragged herself along; she drove past the pain by the cravings of her insatiable metabolism, which demanded breakfast. Somehow she managed to climb to her feet, and headed down stairs with a very dishevelled appearance, her father was already seated coffee in hand and reading a Rhode Island newspaper.
"Morning Eve" He said warmly flashing her a smile, she grumbled a reply heading over to the counter taking the tub of butter, a knife and the three foot long tiger bread and headed over to the seat opposite him; she then proceeded to cut the bread into fifteen manageable chunks buttered them and began eating them with gusto.
"Don't let your mother catch you eating like that." He said with a quit chuckle, she shrugged before moving over to fridge and bringing out the carton of orange juice.
"Bad sleep?" he asked with a little concern watching his daughter down a glass juice still looking as grim as before.
"Just that time of the month." She said with deep yawn, popping some painkillers before going back to her bread.
"it's all part of life my dear; your mother goes through it as well any daughters you may have one day." He said, before handing the paper over to her. She accepted it before looking through it with curiosity; it was dated July 19th and was the Rhode Island mail newspaper, she read it and found what her father had been talking about.
Villainous robot defeated by sidekick team!
an attack on happy harbour town and Nuclear plant by a villain who could control wind and electricity dubbed 'Red Storm' by the locals was foiled by the combined forces of Kid Flash, Aqualad, Robin, Super-girl, as well as three other heroes assumed to be two more relatives of the man of steel and a relation of the Martian Manhunter. Reports indicate the teen team managed to take down Red Storm before too much damaged could be done to the town and also aided in the successfully shutdown of the reactor core.
"If it wasn't for actions of Kid Flash and Power-girl we would have had a nuclear disaster." This was given by Shirley Darling one of the Engineers responsible for the maintenance of the nuclear reactor in Question, for more see page 11.
"Well they got the name wrong: it was actually 'mister twister', we also failed to stop half the town from being wrecked as well as damages done to the eastern half of the plant." Evelyn said honestly, as her father smiled at her: placing his hand on hers she looked up and saw a warm expression on his face.
"I'm very proud of your work you know that; because of what you and the others did a lot of innocent people were saved from a disaster." He said leaning over the table to hug her tightly; once he was done he stood up grabbing his coat. "Well I'm heading off now see later Eve."
"Bye dad." she replied warmly; watching him head off to work.
When he left she finished her breakfast before deciding to get showered and dressed before heading off to the cave.
July 20th Mount justice 9:00 EDT 2010
Recognised: Kid Flash B-03
Evelyn exited the Zeta beam platform; she was casually dressed in jeans, a simple blue t-shirt and a red flash hoodie over it. The rest of the team were milling around obviously waiting for her laughing at something Robin had said; he called out a greeting when he saw Evelyn approach.
"Eve about time we can get this tour started now." Robin said with his trademark grin, the rest greeted as she joined the group. robin, Megan, and Kaldur were dressed in their usual civvies clothing while Kara was wearing a pair of blue slim-fit jeans and a black and red 'super-boy' shirt… basically the same attire as Connor always wore. Amelia was wearing a white tank top and pair of black combat trousers and combat boots… hell she liked it and Evelyn had to admit she pulled the look off rather well.
"You look like shit you know that." Amelia stated bluntly but with a look of concern on her face; she seemed to a blunt and honest person, Evelyn just glared at her before turning to Megan and Connor who were holding two tubs of cookies.
"Personal problems; what have you guys got there?" she asked them, the mouth-watering smell of cookies reacting her nose.
"I made some more cookies for tour, one for six of us and one of Evelyn." She said handing her tub over to the speedster who thanked her before digging in.
"So are we going to start this tour or what?" Evelyn asked them as she tried to pace her rate of cookie consumption; but they were just so good; Megan was the one to give the tour as she had done before.
"Well this chamber house's the zeta beam platforms to reach each major city in the world as well as other league locations." She told them gesturing to the platforms and then to the monitor in the middle of the room. "This as you all know is the central monitor for mission briefings and such."
"And for debriefings too" Evelyn stated remembering the talk with batman; while he was critical of their damage control, he did complement their teamwork and combat performance for their under trained members. They then proceeded to tour the rest of the cave; Megan played as tour guide for the most part with Amelia or Connor chipping in here or there reluctantly, eventually they reached the living room area next to the kitchen where they all crashed on the coach.
"So when is Black Cannery going to start training us?" Amelia asked a bottle of coca cola in her hand.
"Already asked bats that," Robin piped in playing a game on his phone. "She's working with her new partner right now so it'll be a week or more before then."
"Black Cannery's got a partner; I didn't know that." Evelyn asked her interest aroused now.
"Yeah but who it is I don't know, only that they go by the name Wildcat." He went attention still on the game.
"Wait wasn't there a Wildcat in the JSA?" Kaldur asked them, now that Evelyn thought about it she did remember a Wildcat… something Grant, a close friend of the first Black Cannery; maybe this one was a relative.
"Hey guy's why don't we go camping tonight." Evelyn said finishing off the last of the cookies and feeling sad that they were already gone. The team seemed to fine with the idea.
"Well I wanted to spend some time with just the girls so." Kara began thinking it over in her head.
"So why don't the boys go get some camping gear, while us girls have some quality time together." Kara said before she eventually managed to get her way.
"So Kara what sort of quality time did you have in mind?" Megan Asked once they boy's had left the cave to go buy some camping gear.
"While flying over here during the days before we took down mister twister; I spotted a nice sheltered pool a little bit up on the mountainside and I thought that with a little improvement it could become a private little grotto that we could go skinny dipping in it, it's something I've always wanted to try out." She said dragging Evelyn and Amelia by the arm as they flew out of the cave's entrance and headed up the mountainside with Megan flying after them bemused by her treatment of the two girls and clearly obvious to what they were going to do.
"Hey Kara what is skinny dipping by the way?" Megan asked her face full of curiosity, as they eventually reached a rather small pool roughly six metres or so in diameter, its water rather clean for the area, pouring from the mountainside. Evelyn had no memory of any such pool's existence before or perhaps it was simply expanded when Kara was building the 'grotto' which had a series of well placed rocks and what she assumed was uprooted bushes. How she had kept them alive Evelyn had no idea, perhaps this entire spot might have been artificially made by Kara like she said for this exact purpose rather than just modifying a pre-existing grove.
"It's when you go swimming in your natural form so hurry and get changed you three." She said happily, this caused a look of panic to come across the Martian's face.
"But this is my natural form." She said rather shrilly as she looked at them all almost pleadingly.
"She means you go swimming naked Megan." Evelyn informed the poor white Martian before looking at Kara, standing in front of the pool looking proud at her creation.
"Back on krypton I was rather artistic and I had a sort of… hobby for designing things; so do you guys like it, i mean we could go swimming normally here as well later on, i could expanded the pool out maybe plant a few flower beds or something make it a bit more colourful." She said trailing off at the end; before she started taking her clothes off.
"Do we have to do this right now; I mean we've got no towels or anything?" Evelyn chanced it; she wasn't comfortable getting undressed in front of other people especially a certain blonde kryptonain who liked to tease her.
"Come on Evelyn it'll be fun, besides it's not like you've got any problem being naked around other girls do you and no one else will see us." She said slyly, as Evelyn just sighed and starting getting undressed she wasn't in the mood to argue with the girl. 'I'll get you back for this Kara Zor-El; I'll swear on it.' She thought as she shivered placing a toe in the water, she recoiled sharply.
"It's freezing I'm not going in ther- AAAHHHH!" she began before Kara shoved her roughly into the water eliciting a loud and rather undignified scream from the red heads mouth as she disappeared beneath water only to materializes as the other girls jumped inside it.
"UNLIKE YOU THREE I DON'T LIKE THE COLD!" she balled at them shivering profusely as the stone-cold water caused her body to form Goosebumps all over her skin. Kara just smiled before her eyes turned red and she stared at the water and it began to steam as the temperature rose to that of a hot spring.
"That better for you Eve?" she asked sarcastically watching Evelyn glowered at her, her red hair draped over the front of her body. "come on loosen up it's just some harmless fun; besides it's just some earth culture I wanted to try out and since I consider you guys my closest friends, since i can be myself around you, then I felt that I wouldn't be so scared to do it if we all did it."
"I never imagined you could be shy let along scared about anything maiden of might." Evelyn asked her, she looked sad all of a sudden, the happy teasing girl replaced by a quite shy one in an instant.
"I'm scared of a lot of things Evelyn; I'm scared of losing Kal-El, I'm afraid of losing Kon-El, I'm afraid of losing my school friends, of losing my adoptive family, losing you guys. on krypton I was called home from school early to find out that I was to be placed inside a stasis pod and sent to another planet, that I would have to look after my infant cousin alone and that I had five minutes to say goodbye to my family and I couldn't even say goodbye to my friends, that I was to be one of last of my kind in existence... so yes Evelyn there are a lot of things I'm terrified of." She cast her eyes down as a silence hung in the air.
"I'm sorry Kara I didn't mean it like that." Evelyn said after a moment, the blonde alien pulled her into a tight hug; after about a minute Kara planted a kiss on Evelyn cheek causing her face to light up like a Christmas tree. Kara moved away from her smiling weakly; after all Kara was a very attractive girl and in some ways reminded Evelyn of Artemis when they were dating. She looked away from the Kryptonian girl, knowing full well she was doing it deliberately to tease her; this was conformed when she heard the Amelia and Kara laughed at her breaking the tension, Megan looked confused having no idea what was going on between the three of them .
"So Megan If I'm not mistaken you seem to look at Connor with rather fond gazes… you wouldn't have a crush on him by any chance now would you?" Kara asked moving to place an arm around the green girl, whose turn it was now to blush deeply. She couldn't seem to meet the older girl's eyes, as both Evelyn and Amelia drew closer to see the alien girl's reply.
"I-I, I don't know what your… do…do… do you think he likes me… likes me back." She stuttered out after a few minutes before lowering all but her eye's beneath the water level; the other girls just smiled at her extremely cute reaction to it all.
"Well why don't you start by getting to know him better so if any sparks fly between you two; see if he takes an interest in getting to know you better, then when you feel the time is right let him know how you feel and ask him out on a date." She told the Martian girl. Evelyn smiled softly, Kara made sense, of course Miss Martian would need to take a leap of faith when she asked him out... then again she didn't know what had sealed the deal for them back in Wally's time. she frowned getting a flashback to victor asking her on a date and her bad attempt at letting him down gently. It was her turn to sink beneath the water level, as she felt her cheeks flush at the awkwardness at the memory of what they had experienced; she needed to find a way to patch things up because she didn't want her friendship with Victor to take hit over the whole incidence.
"Everything alright Eve you like rather flushed and I have tried anything else yet." Kara asked half-jokingly and half out of genuine concern for her new friend.
"I could use some advice over a personal matter." She bubbled from her half hidden position in the water, sitting down on the sloping floor as she brought her knees to her chin. "I got asked out by a close friend yesterday, I tried to let him down easy but now things between us are… really kinda awkward to be around and I want to fix that back to how things were before."
"Well that is a problem, sometimes people can just go back to the friend zone easily, and sometimes things just get too awkward to be around." Kara said leaning against the edge of the pool looking at the other three. "Why don't you go to the place he wanted to take you too and explain fully to him your reasons why? I mean if he's your friend then he deserves to know why you don't want to go out with him and if he's really your friend he'll understand where you're coming from."
"I'll take you advice this time Kara" She said feeling a little better about it all; maybe this girl bonding time was a good idea after all.
"Now Amelia what do you think about Kaldur-"Kara started before Amelia cut her off mid-sentence.
"Not a chance Blondie I'm picking my own man." She said getting a laugh out the other girls; Megan turned to face Kara now as they settled down.
"What about you Kara don't you like Kaldur?" the green asked resting her head on side of a rock; watching the kryptonain girl's reaction.
"Well I have to admit Kaldur is very attractive, as well as kind and respectfully… he's not really my type. I like a guy who'd tease you, pull a prank and is good for a laugh, someone who's not afraid to speak their mind and he's kinda… well too formal at times I guess it's hard to explain." She told them trying to get her meaning across to them. Megan then turned to face Evelyn who felt great as the water soothed the pain she felt if only a little; she was rather enjoying the time she was spending with this girls, like when wally and dick would hang out, it was a nice feeling to have again.
"And you Eve don't you like Kaldur?" she asked the other three girls looked at each other; Evelyn shrugged deciding to tell her the truth.
"Can you keep a secret Megan?" she asked the girl who thought about before nodding. "I'm a lesbian."
"What's that?" the alien girl asked confused; Evelyn gave her a surprised look before looking at the other girls.
"I'm gay…homosexual… I'm attracted to girls not boys." She told the Martian girl who gave a comical 'oh' as the truth dawn on her.
"Hello Megan, So when Kara kissed you're cheek earlier she was just teasing you; and here I thought It was just some earth custom." She said looking at them smiling happily. "Don't worry I'll keep it a secret… you know I've never had anyone confide in me or trust me with secrets before."
a few hours later...
"so the boy's done getting the gear and setting up camp yet?" Miss Martian asked glancing up at sky which was starting to darken. Amelia glanced off into the woods and Evelyn was in no doubt she was using her super vision to check on their progress. She got up heading over to her clothes before sighing and putting them on her damp body.
"Yeah they've got the tents set up: might as well head back… maybe Megan can have a go at trying to win the heart of the fair and innocent Connor." She added smiling at the Martian girl who blushed as she morphed her clothes back on. Evelyn shivered as she tried to get her clothing over her damp skin.
"Next time make sure we bring towels or something; because wearing clothes while your skin is damp isn't comfortable in the slightest." She growled finally pull her t-shirt down, watching the kryptonain girl shrug.
"Hey you learn from your mistakes, come on then let's go get something to eat." She said flying to the camp site along with Megan and Amelia while Evelyn raced along the ground feeling her clothes chaff a bit. When they arrived the boys had set up the three tents, they had a small campfire set up in the middle, and watched the girls with amusement as they saw them wearing their wet clothes.
"Where are the other four tents?" Megan asked looking around the campsite; Connor looked up from where they were setting up the campfire.
"Only had three large tents so you girls are doubling up while we share the largest tent between the three of us." he explained simply; Evelyn headed back to the cave at high speed rushing into her locker and grabbing the spare set of clothes she was so glad she decided to keep at the cave and a bunch of towels, before heading back to the campsite in a minute.
"So who's sharing with who; you know what I'll bunk with Megan and you two can share a tent." She said after watching the kryptonain girl smile evilly at her as she opened her mouth to speak; she handed the towels out to the girls before heading into her tent to dry herself off and put some dry clothes on. 'She was probably going to sleep in her bra and panties just to tease me further.' She knew that on some level she would actually enjoy it, but at the same time it would led to awkward feelings about her teammate and though the older girl teased her in such ways, she knew that she didn't have any romantic interests in girls, it probably was her attempt to act as she once normally did back on krypton, taking it a bit far sometimes but still… maybe it was a coping mechanism even. Evelyn was pretty sure it would take more than a year to come to terms with everything she had gone through; speaking from her own experience Evelyn had fifteen years and she still wasn't fully adjusted to her new situation, though hers was different. No she probably was trying to get Evelyn out of her shell a little; she had more of an older sister side to her.
"So then it's traditional of sorts to tell stories around a campfire; how about we tell origin stories." Robin suggested as Evelyn set up a makeshift spit and place some bits of meat and veg on it to cook over the fire.
"I guess I'll go first then," Evelyn said, thinking over her cover story of sorts. "It happened back when I was twelve; I had found my uncle's notes on the speed force experiment while looking through his old lab notes."
"Of course cause most twelve year old girls love spending their time trying to solve cold cases." Robin said smirking; the looks Amelia and Kara gave him shut him up fast.
"As I was saying, I found his notes deciphered what they were really about I managed to acquire the funds for a lab in central city and a year later I recreated the experiment perfectly." She said releasing it wasn't as cool as the others but hey it was skimming over the part where she stole funds of known criminals.
"Wait so you preformed an experiment on yourself to give you super powers; you're not a true meta human?" Amelia asked surprised, Evelyn smiled at this; it was true all speedsters were normal people they do the experiment to gain the power.
"Yep normal as any of you civilian life friends, I don't have the Meta gene instead I gained my power from the experiment instead. I just always wanted to help people and plus having super speed is just to cool to pass up." She said before serving up the food to everyone. "Dig in"
"My origin is a simpler one," Aqualad said as they all dug into their meal. "I was with my friend Garth in the capital city of Poseidonis; when it was attacked by ocean-master, I watched as he and MY liege battled it out in clash of titans. It was then that ocean master defeated my king and was about to land the final blow. Me and my friend Garth intervened, with Garth's knowledge of magic and my fighting abilities we took on ocean master... suffice to say we were quickly defeated. but we distracted him long enough for my king to recover and once again do battle with ocean master; this time he was victorious, he offered me and Garth the chance to be his protegee. while Garth decided to return to his studies, i accepted the offer and so here we are."
Kara turn came up and she told them about the story of her arrival to metropolis almost a year ago.
21:00 EDT Metropolis May 11th 2009
The Meteor crashed in the harbor's bay with the force of megaton bomb, sending a tidal wave towards the pier. The crowds of city dwellers cried out in fright as the wall of water came hungrily towards them bringing oblivion with it. It was then that the familiar red and blue blur of superman came flying through the air to hover in the path of the destructive force of nature, he took a deep breath before letting loose his legendary arctic breath freezing the wall of water in its place, he then melted it with his heat vision sending the water falling back into the bay. At that point he looked down into the bay to see what had caused the wave to form; using his spectrum vision he show a some sort of metal pod rocket in the seafloor… one that was extremely familiar to him. With he plunged into the cold water reaching the pod in seconds before grabbing it and carrying out of the murky depths and into the clouds.
"Superman to justice league requesting another leaguer takes over the watch of metropolis for a few days." He spoke into his communicator almost unable to maintain his composure.
"Copy that Superman Green Lantern's in route: mind telling me what this is about?" the batman asked him from his vigil upon the watchtower; Superman thought about it before deciding against this, it was something he had to handle himself.
"Personal matter Batman, superman out." He finished turning the communicator off before heading off home to farm. After an hour he reached the familiar farmhouse, he smiled as he heard the familiar sound of his faithful dog; krypto a rare white Rao-shar, a breed of dog typical bright gold or fiery orange in colour. The dog flew up to him. He chuckled as krypto nearly bulled him off; having a dog with his same abilities had caused some problems when he was younger but he eventually trained him. He needed someone to safe guard his parents from the likes of luthor should he every discovery Kal-El's secret identity.
"Well what have you brought us this time Clark?" the amused sound of his adoptive parents came from the farmhouse door way.
"I found it crashed into the metropolis bay; it is of krypton… just like the pod that brought me here all those years ago." He told them as he placed it down; it was far larger than his pod, and pondered upon whom it may contain, tentatively opened the pod releasing cryo-vapour from it. He gasped at the sight a young girl about mid-teens so fifteen years old; she had long blonde hair and beautiful unblemished skin, she also had a black jumpsuit on her with an s shield on her chest. She groaned softly as her eyes fluttered before opening to stare at him in shock; before she punched him on the face, not expecting it or the force she put behind it he was staggered slight as the girl leaped out of the pod and began shouting at him angrily while pointing some sort of weapon at him shakily.
"Who are you? Why are you wearing my family's crest! Where am I, where is the baby! WHERE IS KAL-EL!" she shouted at him in kryptonian; this wasn't how Superman had expected when he dreamed of meeting one of his family members. John walked forward slowly; while he couldn't understand the girl he could she was pretty spooked.
"Easy there darling, we're not going to hurt you just put the gun down." He said slowly holding his hands up for her to see as she pointed the strange weapon at him. Suddenly a car backfired from the nearby road and in fright the girl pulled the trigger, in a flash Superman had placed himself in the line of fire and was blasted into the house by the force of the energy weapon. The girl looked scared; a look which turned to shock as superman speed forward in a second to grab her, knocking the gun to the ground as her carried up towards the nearby oak tree, he hung her from her jumpsuit from a branch watching her struggle to break free.
'Thank good its night time; cause I'd hate to see what happened if she landed during the day and got hit with her powers all in one go.' He thought as spoke to her in kryptonain.
"Please calm down, ok I mean you no harm; now I'm going to answer any question you have ok." He told her, the girl nodded back scared of what he could do. "Now then, you're on earth, in my home town of Smallville to be precise. As to your other questions I'm wearing this shield as it was the symbol of father's house, I am Kal-El son of Jor-El."
"You can't be… Kal-El was only a baby lasted time I saw him, his pod should have landed nearby… please I'm begging you, i'll do anything you want just let me go to him, he's all I have left now." She pleaded crying now, she thought he was lying to her; Kal looked at her with concern, so she really was a relation of his.
"My pod did fall here some thirty-two years ago… my I ask who you are and how you are related to me?" he asked her grabbing her and gently carrying her down to the ground.
"My name is Kara Zor-El, Jor-El was my uncle and Kal-El… you are my baby cousin." She said looking at him now in disbelieve, she could see her uncle in his face the similarities were unmistakable.
"I think you should come inside now, so we can better get caught up on each other." He said holding out his hand before she took it following him inside the house crying and laughing when the krypto jumped on to her.
"Next day I woke up to firing heat beams through the ceiling; it took me a while to get use to my new powers and to my baby cousin being over twice my age now." Kara said at the end of her tale, we all just stared at her in awe and sadness at her story.
Since we all knew Super-boy and Amelia's origins in Cadmus they passed the buck when it came to them. Megan told them her cover story about the tournament on mars to become manhunter's sidekick. After that they turned in for the night, Megan fell asleep; strangely enough she had a nightmare which caused her to shape shift in her sleep leaving her in the familiar White Martian form. Evelyn made a loud fake cough while pretending to be a sleep, causing the Martian girl to wake up. She could feel the girl's terrified stare on her figure but she pretended to be a sleep and eventually the girl morphed back and they both eventually drifted off the sleep.

"Santa Prisca is a rouge island nation in the Caribbean which is responsible for the world's supply of the illegal and highly dangerous super steroid under the street name Venom. As of June all supplies of drug have been expectantly cut off."
"You're mission will be to investigate the source of it covertly, if any action is required then the league will handle it; you are there to simply recon the island. The island nation is not part of the UN meaning you will cause an international incident if you are discovered operating within its borders without invitation from the government." Batman continued looking at them individually before turning to face Kid Flash. "I want to see an improvement upon the Mister Twister mission good luck and stay safe."
July 22nd Santa Prisca 20:08 ECT 2010
"We're approaching the target Site, drop site A in five." Miss Martian informed them from her position on the pilot's seat. Kid Flash turned to face Aqualad and Power girl, who were both kitted out in their stealth gear.
"Alpha Team ready to deploy" She said to them; they nodded before standing up and readying to deploy into the water.
"Is this a bad time to state I can't swim…? I don't even know if I can breathe under water?" Power-girl said with a highly uncharacteristic nervousness; before Connor shoved her out the hole, they all glared at him.
"What I was helping her take a leap of faith." He said simply before returning to his seat, Aqualad dived in after her.
"Ok so I can fly and breathe underwater… Sort of remind me to pummel super-boy when we get back home." Power-girl informed them over the mind link. He just shrugged and returned to waiting for their turn to deploy.
"Sensors are now on loop, proceeded to drop site two, we shall Ron devour with you at point X-24 in one hour good luck team." Aqualad informed them as he and Power-girl made their way in land.
"Robin, Miss Martian you're on recon, stay alert and out of sight, we'll be in and out before they even feel a breeze." Kid told the reminder of the team, opening up a display of the island with the Venom factory appearing upon it. "Supers, remember stealth is the key to operation so no super leaping or the like ok?" They both nodded, though super-boy scowled folding his arms as he did.
"Remember we're here for recon only, it's only under certain situations that we can get involved her since Santa Prisca isn't a member of the UN, it's still a sovereign state and we can't opening operate in it without good reason or we risk causing an international incident." She added, switching her suit to stealth mode.
"We've arrived at the drop site; Preparing drop lines." Miss Martian informed them, raising her hand causing organic hooks and lines to descend from the bioship's ceiling. The five of them hooked up, holes appeared in the floor beneath them as they descended into the cool Caribbean night air.
"They all hit the ground silently, moving forward as they did. They had to cover the six miles to the venom factory as fast as possible. Robin and Miss Martian had already disappeared into the jungle leaving the Kid with the two supers, both dressed in their black stealth gear.
"Aqualad here, kid, supers go infra-red; we believe there are patrols out in the forest right now." Aqualad's voice sounded in their heads causing them all to glance around the darkness instinctively. Kid Placed her goggles down and switched them to infra-red vision, as the two supers changed their spectrum of vision.
"I got one group headed down the north, about five hundred metres out." Kid Told them, watching, if her memory was correct, was Bane's goons heading towards the opening.
"I've got sight on another group coming up from the south three hundred metres out, the two of them will meet in a few moments head on." Super-boy informed them; this caused a look of confusion on super-girl's face as she glanced at them both.
"That's weird patrols should pass within sight of each other if that at all; they don't typical meet each other head on." She told them, this got Kid Flash to smile; she was right about that, especially when the sound of gunfire could be heard from their position.
"Robin, Miss Martian continue your scouting mission; find us a way into that factory, we'll investigate the gunfire." Kid delivered her orders to the group at large before speeding towards the nearby battle. She rushed down the slope; she came to stop right behind a tree on the edge of the clearing where she had a clear unobstructed view of the battlefield: bullets were flying throughout the air as the forces of Bane and the cult of the Kobra duked it out with each other.
"Whoa the cult of Kobra and bane's lot are fighting each other; never thought this might happen… so who do help out, the reds or lucha libre men's." Super-girl asked looking as they took pot-shots at each other; one dressed in red guy got hit in face falling into a crumpled heap on the ground.
"Move in take them both down, we can't just sit by while they kill each other." Kid Flash told them before lunging in the fight heading towards the Kobra cultists; she tackled one cultist using him as a spring board to catapult herself over another thug as he drew a bead on her with his gun... right before super-girl used him as club to batter at the other cultists nearby, kid landed on the ground before speeding over to a group of cultist trying to get a clear shot on the blonde heroine, she brought them down with a number sonic shock punches from her shock dusters. Suddenly there was the familiar sound of birdarangs flying through the air before they struck four thugs setting up to fire on the cultists and heroes. Soon after that the boy wonder descended down in the middle of a group of five thugs twirling his bostaff to bring them down with a series of swift hits to head and nerve clusters spread throughout the back and legs, there was a roar of rage as super-boy brought bane down before curb stomping his chest driving the fight out of him.
"You were supposed to scouting out the factory Robin." Kid walked up to him as Aqualad and Power-girl arrived at the place with a couple of cultists slung over their shoulders; evidently they had tried to flee the fight only to have the misfortune of running into the pair. The boy wonder shrugged non-chalantly at her.
"I thought you could use the help with taking down the cultists; besides I wanted to find out what the cult of the Kobra were doing here personal." He told her heading over to one of the still conscious Kobra goons. Kid moved between him and his target in a second arms folded.
"I had two kryptonians with me robin there was no way I could loss the fight; besides unless we can find out why the Kobra wants the venom supplies from these guys then our best bet would be to get inside that factory as soon as possible... don't go against my orders again." She told him before moving away to let him get on with his interrogation already knowing what Kobra were up to.
"Miss Martian have you located a possible entry point to the factory?" Kid asked her, she was hoping to cut out any need for Bane's help in this mission at all, although she also wondered just how the cult of Kobra managed to take the island over in the first place.
"I think batman would have told us if dangerous group of extremists had taken over the venom operation." Aqualad said looking at the cultists.
"So are dealing with super cultists; because if so then they're not that tough." Power-girl added folding her arms looking unimpressed; the word tom boy came to mind, kid was starting to believe the power-girl custom was designed by super-girl and without much input from Amelia.
"So it seems the Niño's have trouble keeping each other in line." Bane said with a laugh to his men in Spanish; they all started to laugh at the comment… the conscious ones at any rate.
"At least it wasn't me that lost my island to bunch of snake worshipping whack jobs." Kid replied to him in Spanish, her accent was a little off but it was much better than her German and was one of four languages she knew the others being English and French. This caused looks of confusion from the rest of her team, as they watched her approach Bane and began conversing with him in a foreign tongue.
"So El Nino knows some Spanish, well then maybe we can come to some sort of arrangement then?" He asked her, leaning towards her as she nodded once for him to go on.
"Let me and men go and we'll show you a secret way into my factory, as well as the location of the gringo's submarine; not only that but we'll even give you temporary access to operate on the island against a terrorist threat." Bane offered her smiling encouragingly; she thought about it, since Bane was the rightful ruler of the island nation then working with him could justify their presence on the island.
"Fine you will accompany myself, robin, miss Martian, Aqualad and Super-boy to the Venom factory where you will help us discover what the Cultists are up to and help us stop them. Super and Power-girl shall go with your men and take down the cultist submarine for links to their motive; try and double cross us and you will regret it." She finished as he paused before nodding to her request.
"Cut them loss, Super-boy keep an eye on him and robin once we're inside I want you to set that place to go up like a bonfire; let's see if we can give the world a few more months of venom clear streets." She instructed her team via the mind-link, before turning to face Super-girl. "Miss Martian regroup with us ASAP."
"When you arrive at the Submarine try to gain any possible Intel from it; also you're free to act upon your own initiative if you need too for any reason, as you'll must likely leave the link's range." She told them before watching the two fly after bane's men, who left in the direction of the small harbour town on the other side of the island.
"This way Niños." Bane said as they headed towards the secret entrance and the venom factory beyond; Kid looked towards the tall super villain.
"So Bane what do you know about Kobra's intentions here?" she asked as they made their way through the foliage of the jungle; the large man seemed to moll it over before replying.
"They did came in here about a month ago, took over the island in a day; we were kept at gun point when all of a sudden they offered me a chance to regain my island by beating their champion in single combat. So they put me in a room with this shrimp and give me back my venom; then they injected something into the boy and he became a monster with grey skin which split apart to reveal raw muscle beneath he beat me soundly under a minute… maybe you were a bit hasty in sending away the super-girl." He added glancing towards super-boy who glared at him angrily.
"So they made some sort of kobra-venom the question this where the other component came from?" She put the question to the group as a whole.
"I can't believe you're trusting Bane an international drug dealer… and how come you tell me off for using my initiative when you're fine with super-girl using hers." Robin asked grumpily in the mind-link, Kid sighed internally.
"Because I expected you to take the initiative when scouting ahead, picking the right fights, avoiding patrols. Not going backwards to a fight I said I would handle; just to interrogate someone that anyone else could do for you and who would have then given out the answer you seek to you over the mind-link, you need to rely on others Robin." She told him off as they reached the cliff with factory insight; Miss Martian had appeared beside them watching Bane remove the boulder from the front of the cave passage.
"Hope the girls are getting on well since their blocking our coms." Aqualad said as they followed Bane into the cave; since there was a lack of major explosions on the other side of the Island pointed to that.
"So Baney boy how exactly did you get away from the Snakes?" Robin asked looking at him accusingly; for his credit the big guy gave a small smirk before replying.
"People see the body but they forget the mind." He told them before raising his hand to stop them in their tracks. "We are here Niño's just like I said." he opened the hidden doorway into the factory, Robin was already gone.
"Has that fool been caught already?" Bane asked as the team advanced forward towards the walkway from before. "Guys I've seen this before they've combined the formula for Blockbuster and Venom to make a new compound three times as strong and permanent as well." Robin informed them over the mind-link. They watched as the helicopter landed with its ramp dropping to reveal… three figures in the doorway.
On the other side of the island…
"So Bolivar that's an odd first name." Power-girl asked one of their new drug dealing frenemies, the young guy smiled as he shifted his battered old AK47.
"My mother was a historian from Bolivia and wanted to choose something close to her heart for my name so she ended up with that" He said with a nervous smile. "though I quite like the name Power-girl it seems to suit you rather well."
"Awh if you aren't the sweetest drug runner." She said smiling giving him a playful punch on the shoulder. The grizzly old guy leading them held up his hand and pointed to a natural harbour where a small town was visible.
"The Snakes have a sub there, we'll let you two… Heroines handle things from hear." He said grinning a croaked grin.
"Hey bolo, keep an eye out for us alright, if you see trouble just speak out for us. Our super hearing should pick it up." Super-girl said as they flew towards a pair of patrolling snakes.
"Follow my lead." Super-girl whispered to Power-girl before grabbing one cultist and quickly knocking them out, they then placed their uniforms on. "By Rao this uniforms reek, clearly good hygiene wasn't a concern for the cult of Kobra."
"Alright let's sneak into the sub and see what we can find out." Super-girl informed her teammate who nodded from beneath her mask. They made their way over to the sub, passing by other cultist; they talked between themselves in order to help maintain the illusion that they had every right to be there. Eventually they made it all the way up sub when a voice called out.
"you two what are doing; why aren't you patrolling the perimeter with the other squads?" a rather large middle eastern man yelled at them as he approached to stand right in front of them."
"Well…" Super-girl began trying to think of a good excuse before the sound of gunfire distracted the guards; power-girl reacted with speed that would impress a speedster as she knocked the large snake out before they pair rushed towards the sub as the other cultists were running around trying to figure out where they were being attacked from.
"Remind me to give that boy a kiss." Power-girl whispered happily as they climbed down the access hatch and into the sub; Super-girl looked at her smiling.
"Don't think dating a drug maker is a good idea." She whispered to her, as they made their way into a command room; they knocked out the few occupants before quickly seizing all the documents and making copies of the computer hard drives.
"Hey these guys are the only occupant here… and there is a weapons room right next door?" Power-girl asked with a pleading look on her face; Super-girl placed her hand on her chin as in deep thought.
"It could be passed off as an attack by Bane's forces on the sub… I'll get the cultists out of her you set up the charges. They two super powered girls split up, Super-girl moved the cultists outside of the sub while her comrade prepared a little surprise for the cultists.
"It's done we got about five minutes till it goes boom." Power-girl said grinning widely; Super-girl looked towards the factory, making a decision.
"We'll head towards the others; stealth over speed ok." She said as she flew towards the forest Power-girl in tow.
"Oh come on! Not them of all people." She thought as she watched Sportsmaster walk down the ramp flanked on either side by two of world's most dangerous people, one of them having a burning hatred for her. To his left was the giant figure of the Marauder his black gas mask helmet roaming over the venom factory searching for potential targets; his body a walking armoury. On his right was a much smaller figure but one that was no less dangerous at around 5 foot 4 inches wearing skin tight battle armour half black, half orange; her face pale an eye patch over her left eye with her silver hair cascading down behind her. Rose Wilson: Deathstroke's daughter a.k.a the Ravager.
"Lord Kobra I have arrived with my associates to… judge the quality of the product." He said as the two walked up and examined mammoth, occasionally throwing a hit which he would either block or just shrug off.
"He's got speed similar to me… what you think Mara; does he have strength on your level?" Ravager asked playfully as Marauder stared down at her evidently glaring at the girl over a foot shorter than him. It was then that an explosion went off in the distance. At this point Bane launched himself forward into the fray and like before mammoth smashed through the walkway sending them crashing to the ground. Kid groaned as she smashed through a container crate and felt a shadow appear over her.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the 'fastest girl alive'; brought your merry band along just to relieve my bored ah, how kind of you." Ravager said before she kicked Kid into the air as Marauder slammed a fist into her frame sending her flying into a spinning kick from the one eyed killer, right back into an upper cut from the Russian sending her sailing towards another crate at the other side of the room and smashing into it. The sound of battle filled the night air, but the mind link must have been severed for some reason. 'Looks like I get these two to myself… I'm so dead." She thought to herself as she moved her pain ridden body behind the crate as she could began to hear the mocking voices of the mercenary pair approaching her position.
"Come on out little rabbit all this seeking is making me bored, you won't like it when I need to find a way to entertain myself." The girl said with a sadistic tone as the sound of sharpened metal scrapping off sharpened metal reached her position, suddenly their was a rolling sound as over two dozen cylindrical canisters were thrown at her she rushed out of the storage area as they exploded. She was thrown through the air to be caught by the telepathic powers of miss Martian.
"Link re-established sorry guys, that beast knocked me out when he brought down the walkway." Miss Martian's voiced sounded in their heads.
"Switch up super-boy Marauders yours, Aqualad use you water bearers on that mammoth mound of muscle, Robin keep fighting Kobra, Miss Martian you retrieve the case from Sportsmasters." Kid Flash gave out the commands fast watching her team break off to carry them out. "Leave one eye to me." She finished speeding with super-boy to strike at the Ravager; she slammed a fist into the girl's blind spot before grabbing her and spinning her for a few second and sending her flying into a wall.
"You want play streaky fine then let's see just how fast you really are." She roared charging towards Kid Flash, one on one nobody could match Kid Flash for pure super human reflexes; every slash, every thrust of her blades played out as in slow motion, she was still incredibility fast, appearing like a sluggish drunken man to Kid's hyper fast reflexes. Jab dodge, dodge, uppercut, spinning kick, concussive sticky charge, and leg sweep. Kid ran through her combo list switching it up and throwing a few kung Fu moves she learned in self-defence class. She got the odd cut or glancing blow and even a nasty kick to the face which nearly broke her concentration which showed off just how fast the Ravager could be; Kid didn't want to imagine what it must be like fighting her without super human reflexes. It ended when Connor hurled the battered and bruised Marauder into the smaller girl.
"Time to take our leave I think." The Russian said before throwing some sort of smoke canister. The sound of running feet was audio in the distance. 'Wait a minute it wouldn't surprise me if the gas was toxic.'
"I can't see through the smoke it must have lead particles in it." Super-boy said angrily, 'great now everyone's got anti-kryptonain weapons… well at least this time it wasn't a red solar ray emitter or worse some sort of kryptonite gun.' Kid thought frustrated that they managed to get away; they turned to see the helicopter flying off.
"Tell me you got the case Miss Martian." Kid asked hopefully; the silence told her before the Martian's words did.
"Sorry kid but he was too strong for me." She replied almost pleadingly; it was then that Kid saw something white go zooming towards the helicopter, it went right through it causing it to exploded sending parts everywhere. Kid never saw a parachute, but her zoom feature on her goggles showed that sports master had some sort of body glider suit. The white blur flew over to them holding a silver briefcase in her hand.
"Looking for this briefcase, guys." Power-girl said happily, as Super-girl flew towards her frowning at her angrily.
"I told you to stealthy head towards the factory not go flying towards the first aircraft you see." She said angrily telling off the brown haired girl; who sulked handing the case over to Kid and turning to face Super-girl.
"I was using my initiative Super-girl and it paid off this time; I got the thingy… would did I get kid?" her jubilancy was cut short as she turned to look at Kid Flash who opened the case before frowning angrily.
"You were right to follow you're initiative this time Power-girl; you managed to obtain the samples of Kobra-venom the cult of kobra were trying to sell to Sportsmaster… unfortunately he made off with one of the vials." She added showing them the empty slot in the case; Power-girl smile faded slightly.
"You still did good by the way; come on lets go home." Kid Flash told the rest as Miss Martian called the bioship in; Kid gave Robin a nod as he detonated the charges blowing the factory to rubble.
"Damn it looks like the cult blow the factory to cover their tracks… at least we've got these samples to hand into the league." Kid said loudly with fake outrage so Bane could hear her; she could see the impotent rage radiating from the Massive man. 'Nice work Robin now we've got the goods and threw a spanner into the Venom drug trade.' Kid informed her team as they boarded the Bioship and headed home.
Elsewhere on the Island…
"Do you think Sportsmaster's dead Mara?" Ravager said sharpening her blade as they waited at the extraction point; which was a remote cove on the other side of the island. They had a perfect view of the burning wreck that was the Kobra sub.
"You will be if you call me that once more Ravager." Marauder snarled back at her; his eye's filled with rage as dealt with his broken mask courtesy of the super-boy, he really hated these heroes.
"Just trying to deal with the boredom… we could fight if you'd prefer?" she asked hopefully; raising the katanna and grinning at him madly. He had a black metal hand axe out and glared at her with bare rage and open hatred.
"Where's the pick up?" Sportsmaster came in the cove glancing at the two who lowered their weapons; they jerked to the third figure sitting on a rock and who now approached them. She was wearing a full black armoured diving suit with a helmet with red eyes and several slits were the mouth was. Strange cables ran around her arms connected to a power pack on her back which hummed quietly.
"Do you have the shipment." She asked in a metallic voice, he held out the single vial he managed to retrieve before that not so failed science experiment blow him out of the sky. "Very well then you better explain yourself to the Light; father this is Siren here the package is here prepare for extraction."
The water bubbled as the black hull of the Manta sub rose out of the blue depths. They all headed on board the vessel before it disappeared into the water leaving no trace it was every there.
July 23rd mount justice 10:01 EDT 2010
"You're orders were to recon the island and report back to the league. Simply put observe and report… you will each receive a written evaluation of your many, many mistakes… until then good job." He added before taking his leave. "No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy it's how you overcome this that defines your abilities to operate as a team, and your personal response to those situations which determines character."
"Well I had fun; I got to blow up a submarine and i got some cool red robes for Halloween as well." Amelia stated proudly wearing the cultist's robes and Kobra mask. 'Takes the souvenir thing to a whole new level' Evelyn thought as she got out her phone and dialled Victor for the fifth time in a row; she wasn't going to stop, she would set this right today.
"You were just going to keep calling till I answered weren't you?" Victor's voice came over the mobile; she smiled at this, stubbornness was something even death couldn't rob from this speedster.
"Yep listen we need to talk; you need to know the reason why I said no ok," She said before going on when he made reply, "Let's meet up at the café ok as friends alright say one o'clock… Alright you've forced my hand; I'm going to turn up at one o'clock and if you don't show up then I'm just going to embarrass myself siting there alone until it shuts." She ended the call before he could respond to this. She turned and headed over to Zeta beam platforms and home.
Rigsby Café Jump City July 23rd 13:15 PDT 2010
She had arrived at the classy café; she had decided to wear the red revealing shirt with a black skirt, black tights and a nice cannery style black jacket. Over all this was the one of the most feminine outfits she had ever worn excluding dresses for important events. She had taken a seat at one the table's facing the doorway.
"Are you sure you still don't want anything other than breadsticks and cola?" the very attractive brunette waitress asked her.
"No I'm going to wait on my friend he should be here in the next five minutes hopefully." She turned the girl who nodded before walking off to another table. 'I hope he turns up at any rate.' She told herself, before digging into the bread sticks.
"You know you said we'd have a meal as friends and yet you dress up for the occasion." Victor said startling her as he sat down; he was dressed in pretty much smart casual wear. Evelyn frowned at him before pouting playful.
"Are you insinuating that I cannot dress in nice clothes just to hang out with a close friend?" She asked with mock outrage, smiling as he sat down, the pretty waitress came over.
"So now that your friends finally arrived what will you have to eat?" she asked glaring at victor for keeping his date waiting. He blanched a bit under the gaze: after ordering the extra-large ribs, the pair got down to heart of it.
"Ok Victor you're one of my closest friend's you know that right. I didn't have any friends until I meet you and Natasha almost three years ago." Evelyn told him sincerely looking at him. "I think you'd be a great boyfriend for some luck girl someday. But the thing is I'm not attracted to you because I'm not attracted to men at all."
"So your saying that your…" he paused, she nodded for him to go on. "a lesbian."
"Yep so you can see why I turned you down; besides I don't want to lose one of my closest friends." she told him finishing another rib leaving the bone picked clean that would have impressed a piranha. "So now that you know the truth can we put this all behind us… oh and can you keep this to yourself, you're the fourth person I've told and I'm not quite ready to come out yet to everyone… besides I haven't even told my parents yet."
"It's ok it doesn't matter to me about your sexual orientation; I'm sorry about giving you the cold shoulder it's just I kinda lost my nerve after you said no so." Victor explained as they finished up their meal; they ordered dessert as they turned over to talk about Natasha,
"You know you should have asked her out instead right?" Evelyn told him tapping her hand in anticipation of the upcoming famed cheese cake. Victor let out a sigh; looking into space as he spoke out.
"Yeah I guess you're right, I mean I really liked the both of you and I knew her a lot longer we grew up together; that I really didn't want to risk losing such a close friend, besides I kinda thought you were just playing hard to get." He added watching Evelyn smirk at him finishing her fifth cola.
"She likes you back Victor trust me on this, so when I get back from the bathroom; you're going to call her and you're going to ask her out on a date, just tell her how you really feel ok." She told him getting up; before turning to look at him glaring a batman glare of total soul crushing death. "If I find so much as a crumb of my cheesecake gone when I get back they'll be hell to pay."
"Won't belong." She added cheerfully watching victor break into a grin as he chuckled softly; she headed over to the restroom happy that she could put this whole thing behind her now. She finished up and headed over wash her hands; when that was done her phone went off, looking at the contact she saw it was Kara.
"Yes." She asked beaming happily.
"So how'd it go girl; you guys good now?" She asked her with tension in her voice.
"We're good now; I told him and we're all set." She told her happily.
"that's great news! Listen tell me all about it tomorrow at the Connor's and Megan's place ok?" she said avoiding mentioning the cave as it would odd if someone overheard their conversation.
"See you then." Evelyn said hanging up smiling as she moved to put her phone away. 'Things are finally going back to normal.' She thought to herself; suddenly she felt a stabbing pain in her neck as someone stuck her with a needle, suddenly her vision blurred as she dropped her bag and her phone before falling forward hitting her head off the sink and collapsing to the ground unconscious. An older girl with several piercings in her right ear and dressed in a black leather jacket and blue jeans picked her up and supported her as she carried her out of the bathroom and towards the fire exit door at the end of the hallway.
A/N: so what do you guys think, i wanted to portray super-girl sort of as she was; a very young girl who lost nearly everything and had a lot of responsibility thrust on her. I know she was pretty smart and was with the science guild but in this version i had her leaning more to the artist guild.
This is now entering one of my additions to the storyline; what happens next only i know... so this is what George R R Martin feels every-time he ends another stark. so anyway leave a review on whether you like it, things that could make it better, things that don't make sense to you so i can explain to the best of my ability or change if its an error I've missed. it helps me work out the bugs in the story, just as long as it isn't flaming.
Till next time sincerely Greywolf41, esquire!
