DISCLAIMER: I own not any Disney or DC Comics licensed characters. The original Idea of Supergirl/Kim Possible mix was Jezrianna's. This is an alternate universe from her stories. Read them if you haven't, for they are VERY good.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I have the old school take on Superman's powers. He was nigh invulnerable to physical and energy attacks, yet had normal human level defense against magickal and psionic abilities. I am not sure if that is still the case, but that is how I remember him growing up.
And now on with our story.
Ron sat in the room next to a still form of Kara. Concern and anguish covered his face and he was given a wide berth by all except a red haired woman. He looked up at her without his face changing expressions and turned back towards his vigil.
"You need anything, Ron? Some coffee maybe?"
"That would be great, KP."
She moved out of the room. Ron kept his watch on his girlfriend. He shook his head. I did just call her my girlfriend. I know I love her, and I know I don't want to lose her.
"Kara, I know this is awkward, but I need to talk to you. There are so many things that I need to say. Please wake up so I can make sure you hear them. sigh I don't know if this is of any use."
"Sure it is. She's in there. She just isn't outwardly conscious," consoled a familiar voice.
Ron's face dropped at the sound. "Please, not now."
"Ron, don't worry. I told you that you had time, and you do. I was passing by and saw you. Thought I would say hi. Mind if I sit?"
Ron looked at Her. "Go ahead. I couldn't stop you."
"No need to be like that. See no scythe, though I don't carry one. Anyway, don't worry. I don't have her on my schedule. I don't know how long she will be like that, but it isn't in my territory."
Ron looked at Kara and held back tears that have wanted to come out for a day now. He saw a black handkerchief with white lace held out to him. "Let it out. It won't do any good inside."
"Why are you here?"
"I was passing by, and truth to tell every so often there are people I take a liking to. Just think of me as a fairy godmother," she struck a ballet pose and laughed. "There is something about you Ronald Dean Stoppable."
Ron looked at Her. "Great, so I have an anthromorphic incarnation watching over me."
"I won't watch over you. But I will be there when you need to talk. I can keep secrets, who else would I tell? And talk about taking your secrets to the grave… Bad joke, I know."
"Can you get me to talk to her?"
"She's in my brother's realm right now. I will see what I can do. Well I need to get going. Hang in there. Be seeing you."
Ron didn't look around; he knew she wouldn't be there when he turned around. Next two things happened at once; Dr. Fate materialized in the room and Green Lantern came in through the door.
"Great things just keep getting better," mumbled Ron. "Dr Fate wait; Lantern, what the HELL happened?"
"We were evacuating a planet from around a star that was going supernova. Something happened; we are still trying to figure out what actually did happen. The star blew before it was predicted. Most of us were on the dark side of the planet, Supergirl was the only one that was directly in line with it. The shockwave carried her into the planet. No one really knows how she managed to keep from being seriously hurt. We got her out of there, and hurried her back here. You have all the information that we have now."
"Thanks."
"Don't thank me, thank your friend. She was able to get some strings pulled to allow us to give that to you."
"I will be sure to tell her."
"If you need some relief here just let me know."
"I will, later GL."
Green Lantern left the room and Ron looked to Dr Fate. "Time for more questions?"
"Yes, but not the kind you expect. I was scanning you a few minutes ago, and all of a sudden everything in this room was blocked from my abilities. Do you have any idea how that happened?"
"Yes."
Dr Fate waited for an answer, and when one didn't come he asked, "So what did you do?"
"Nothing, it wasn't me."
"Who was it, then?"
"I am not sure you would believe me. It was Death."
"Death?"
"Well the anthromorphic incarnation at least."
"Death came for Supergirl and didn't claim her?"
"Oh, no, she came to talk."
"To you?" asked the golden helmeted figure. "Death came into this room to talk to you?"
"Yes."
"About what, may I ask?"
"About what was going on. She was reassuring me that things were going to be okay. Cards on the table time Fate. This wasn't the first time we have talked, and she told me that she has taken a liking to me. I have no idea why."
"She and her family are mysterious to most minds. Still it is not un-rumoured that they pick favorites from time to time."
"So why were you trying to scan me? The monkey power?"
"Yes, I have determined that it is a primal force. What I can not understand is how or why it manifests when it does. If there was a way to control it…"
"There is, but I don't want to do it. Not now."
"Ronald, why not?"
"I would have to give myself over to the power, and then try to come back from it. I may not be able to do that. I can't risk that, not now. There are too many relying on me for me to lose that time and maybe even not come back."
"Well, as you see fit. The power itself is not dangerous to you or those around you in normal situations. If you need me I will be available, for the "monkey thing" or the other situation. I bid you farewell."
With that Dr Fate dematerialized and Ron was left alone with Kara. He laid his head down next to hers and sleep overtook him.
NEXT: How did Kara survive a supernova? Will Ron be able to confess his love? Where is Kim with the coffee?
