A GIRL NAMED KARA
KARA
Kara is unconscious when her ship crashes in Metropolis Bay. The ship sinks to the bottom and fills with water. She awakens when the ship is full. She gasps and thrashes, but then her eyes turn red and start glowing. Beams of energy cut through the ship and she swims to the surface. She climbs up and looks around, her eyes taking in everything as her x-ray vision activates. "Olleuq ech odneddecus a'n em?"
She closes her eyes and slows her breathing. When she is able to focus Kara starts walking. She is wearing a black one piece with white boots and a white glyph on her top. She spots a person, "E'suxe, im. Ioup imrid evod onos?"
"I don't understand you lady."
After a few blocks a policeman comes up to her, "Alright lady let me see some ID."
"Iuop I'mratuia?"
"What you don't speak English? You're going to have to come with me Lady." He takes out handcuffs and grabs her arm, but Kara pulls away. "Get against the wall Lady! Don't make get rough with you." He takes out a taser and shocks her, but the tase ends just bounce of her. He sprays mace in her face. Kara grabs him and tosses the cop into the wall breaking his leg and arm.
As she walks away the Officer calls for backup. Five police cars pull up, "Get down on your hands and knees freak!"
Her eyes glow and she uses her heat vision to cut car in half. The cops shoot at her, but the bullets bounce off her body. She beams a gun with her eyes. That is when she is placed in a green energy bubble, "We'll take it from here Officers." Green Lantern says. "J'onn do you have a lock?" Green Lantern says into his ear COM.
"Give me a minute the energy from your ring is interfering with the locking sequence. Got her." J'onn teleports her into a holding cell with red sun lamps. "I am Green Lantern of Sector 2814…What is your name?"
"I…I can't remember. Please help me."
Green Lantern looks at J'onn, "I think she has amnesia."
"I am J'onn J'onzz of Mars…May I scan your mind with my telepathy?"
Lantern looks at J'onn, "You speak Kryptonian?"
"Yes. A Kryptonian Scientist visited Mars long ago. We traded languages and some technology."
CLARK
The newly wed couple race horses on the beach. Then they return to their hotel suite to shower and change for a late lunch. When they enter their room Bruce is waiting. "Bruce?"
"Sorry to interrupt your honeymoon. Clark you are needed on the Watch Tower."
"What is it?"
"Best you see it with your own eye. You should bring Lois with you."
They check out early and teleport up to the Watch Tower with their luggage. Clark stairs dumbfounded at the young blond Kryptonian in the cell with red lights. "I scanned her mind Kal'El…" J'onn says, "Kryptonian minds are not that easy to read…I was able to put the pieces together…Kandor Outpost was attacked by machines…Her ship got caught up in an asteroid field. She hit her head."
"My name is Kal of House El…"
"You are like me."
"I am." He looks at J'onn and the others, "Release her."
"Is that wise?" Batman asks. "She broke a policeman's arm and leg. She also cut a car in half."
"And I guess that makes her a criminal in your book?"
"No! But we should be cautious."
"Let her out!" He says more firmly. He teleports Kara and Lois to the Fortress. Her father maps her mind and restores her memories. "Why didn't you tell me about my Uncle and his family? Why didn't you tell me about the Kryptonian refugees?"
"We did not tell you, because we decided that Zor, would learn of you eventually and reach out to you…Kal'El you were not born from the Genesis Chamber…Others of our race would treat you differently."
"I was not born of the Genesis Chamber." Kara says speaking up.
"And still your father, my brother lied Kara." Jor'El replies.
A hologram of J'onn appears, "Superman…We have another problem."
"What now?"
BRAINIAC
Brainiac's ship is still in orbit around Argo. He had sent probes to earth and watches. "So the legends of yellow sun infusion are true…Two children of House El…Activate Battle Drone B718…" He sends the drone to earth to fight the two Kryptonians.
KARA
Kara sits alone in her room in the Fortress of Solitude. Her world had been turned upside down. A mother she never knew and a father, who for all she knew might be dead. She did find comfort in her Aunt's hologram who told her stories about her mother. Lara and Alura were best friends and became sisters by blood both women capturing the hearts of the brothers of El.
"Kara the probes have arrived." Ka'El says addressing her in their language.
She gets off the bed and follows him to the main control room. A few seconds later images of the planet Argo appear. Then she gasps as Kandor is gone. All that is left in its place is a crater. "No!" Kara says falling to her knees.
"We will find who did this and avenge them!" Kal'El says placing his hand on her shoulder.
You have my sympathies Kara." Lois says, while she can't speak Kryptonian she can understand it. Kara ignores her not knowing how to feel about her cousin marrying a lower life form.
"Excuse me." She says returning to her room.
KAL'EL
"Are you alright?" Lois asks.
"I…No Lois I am not…Wait a minute…Father!"
His hologram appears, "No son."
"But…"
"No!" Jor'El says more firmly.
"No about what?" Lois asks.
"I told you that was a one, time thing."
"But your brother."
"What are the two of you talking about?" Lois asks.
Kal looks at her, "Time travel."
She frowns, "You want to use Barry to travel back in time?"
"No…Honey there is a working Time Gate here in the fortress…I used it once." He looks at Jor'El, "Father it can save…"
"No son…That is my final word." His hologram vanishes. Later Kal'El goes to visit Kara. "I take it you heard all that?"
She huffs, "I can hear things going on hundreds of miles away…" She looks Kal, "…If our people gain these powers from yellow stars, why not move to planet with a yellow sun?"
"I asked my father that question…" He pauses.
"What?"
"Do you hear that?"
She nods and they both walk to the outside and look up as a metal pod uncloaks and becomes a battle-bot. "Stay here!" Superman flies up at the bot and the two collide. There is a shockwave and Superman is thrown back down. He hits the side of the Fortress creating a huge crack and shaking the fortress of ice and crystal.
Lois screams and Kara speeds into through the Fortress and catches a huge chunk of debris before it crushes Lois. "Are you alright?" Kara asks tossing the huge chunk of ice to the side. All Lois can do is nod.
Meanwhile Superman floats out of the crack and looks through the Fortress with his x-ray vision. The machine that attacked him is at the main terminal. In a burst of speed he slams into the machine knocking it away. He flies after the bot as it smashes through several walls. As Superman flies at the machine, it blasts him with a green light.
"AAAHHH!"
"It is called Kryptonite Son of El…" The Bot says, "…We have collected much knowledge traveling through the universe…We have analyzed your body and replicated the radiation that would weaken and kill you…We will study your body and then consume it. Adding too…"
Eye beams cut off the Bot's arm, Kara flies towards the Bot using her heat vision. She punches the Bot and it goes flying fifty feet and hits the ice. Miscalculation! Damage has been inflicted…Initiating repairs…"
That is when Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawk Girl, Flash, and J'onn show up. Green Lantern imprisons the Bot in a construct of a box. "Lifeforms identified…Human of the Green Lantern Corp…Human…Dressed as a Bat to instill fear in other humans…Non-Human female requires further study…Female Thannagarian…Martian Male…Human…Meta…Enhanced speed…We are Brainiac…We now address the Children of El…Surrender yourselves to me…Or I will destroy Kandor…"
"You already destroyed Kandor Monster!" Kara says with glowing red eyes.
"Negative! Behold!" He shows them a hologram of the shrunken city. "Surrender yourselves to us Kryptonians or we will destroy what is left of your race…"
"Leave Kara be and I will surrender myself." Superman says.
"No! The two of you will surrender or Kandor will be destroyed."
Kal and Kara nod to one another, "We agree."
"You will also surrender all information and stored data in the that Fortress…"
M'GANN
M'gann had snuck aboard Brainiac's ship as one of his drones. Some of the ship is organic so she is able to telepathically mimic the binary signal shared by Brainiac's machine minions. M'gann listens in on the demands made by Brainiac. "J'onn…Can you hear me?"
"Of course I can…M'Gann where are you?"
"On board Brainiac's ship…Listen to me J'onn stall for time I will take the Orb carrying the city of Kandor…I need you to set up a long, range teleport…" J'onn tells the others of their plan telepathically. When they are ready she disables Brainiac's ship, steals the orb with Kandor city and it's people in it and teleports to earth.
SUPERMAN AND KARA
When the deed is done, Kara smashes the bot in anger. "A Quantum tunnel beam should restore the city and people to their normal size." Jor'El says.
"My father is he alive?"
M'Gann places her hand on Kara's shoulder, "Kara…Your father was consumed by Brainiac…He assimilates technology, organic material he considers useful…He collects civilizations as trophies to study them…"
"Father." She mournfully whispers.
"Brainiac is coming to Earth…He wants to assimilate its knowledge and some of it's people…Collect a city and destroy the planet…"
"We won't let it happen?" Superman says. "We will stop Brainiac before he reaches Earth." M'gann stays behind just in case they fail to defeat Brainiac.
