Note. I will be combining facts from the Justice League with the live action show Lois and Clark for this. Please try to bear with me. You will also soon discover why many people from the modern time are still young and around.
My name is Kara El Lane Kent. (Pronounced Car-Ra) I live in Metropolis with my mom Lois Lane and my dad Clark Kent. I love writing, drawing, and reading. I'm on my school's electronic newspaper. I have shoulder length brunette hair, blue eyes, and am medium height and built. I'm half human half Kryptonian. I am known as Supergirl II or just plain Supergirl.
Some people might thing that its great being the only child of Superman, but it isn't. Even before I was born things were hard. My mother and father wanted to start a family but it was impossible for my mother to carry a child that was half Kryptonian. They thought they never have a kid when I suddenly appeared in my bassinet with only a letter of explanation.
It seems Lady Zara and General Ching of New Krypton had wanted to do something special for my folks to thank them for all the help they gave them. They knew that my parents wanted a child and my mom couldn't carry me so they decided that Zara would. After using their top scientist to combine the genetic patterns of the two together they impregnated Zara with the embryo and nine months later I was born. Zara and Ching then traveled to Earth and placed me in my home with my folks.
I had no idea of anything when I was growing up. My dad had retired from being Superman and my mom was now the co editor of the Daily Planet while still being the best top reporter. Most papers had gone digital these days. They posted their stories on an online site everyday. When I showed up my mom would take me to the Daily Planet office to watch me. I was a big hit with Jimmy and Perry. I still hadn't shown any signs of powers, but that was about to change.
We were in the apartment playing with a ball. My dad was tossing a ball back and forth with me. My mom was smiling as she typed her latest story out on her home computer. "Come on Daddy throw it harder!" I yelled.
"Alright but be careful not to knock anything over." He told me gently. I nodded and waited. He drew back his hand and threw the ball across the room. It sailed over my head and that's when I raced at super speed to the other side of the room snagged the ball and arrived right back to where I started. "Wow how I do that?" I asked
"Lois, we have a problem." My dad called to my mother. My mother had seen what had happened. I had no clue what they were so concerned about. So I had run a little faster then usual so what? That's when my parents had a sit down with me. They told me everything about me being half Kyrptonian, my dad being Superman, and even the circumstances of my birth. They told me that my powers would emerge at their own rate and that I would have to be careful otherwise I could hurt someone. At the time I knew that agreeing with my parents was the safe move. I never knew how much I would grow to hate my decision. Keeping a secret for a child is the hardest thing in the world.
My powers continued to develop slowly one at a time and seem to get stronger with each passing year. I had to be extra careful in school not crush anyone or run to fast. The first time I used x-ray vision was when I was seven. It was during a math test at school and I couldn't remember the answers to the questions. So I just looked at the teacher's desk hard wishing I could see the answers and bingo I was seeing them. I yelped in surprise and made some stupid excuse that I thought I saw a spider. When I got home I told my dad about what happened and he wasn't thrilled. "Kara you can't just go using your powers for personal gain. Cheating on a test is a serious matter. You could get suspended for that. Is that what you want?"
"How would they know if I cheated anyways? Its not like I can tell them I got superpowers. You have no idea what's its like for me dad. My sense of smell and hearing are greatly improved. I have a hard time concentrating on doing complex tasks because unlike your brain mine is only half as fast as a supercomputer. Not to mention it sucks having to watch myself when I play at recess or in gym class." I told him angrily.
"I know Kara that its hard, but you have to understand it was hard for me to. I had to go through everything your going through right now except I didn't have anyone there to tell me what was going on. I know you're proud of your Kyrptonian heritage as am I, but right now I think it would be best if you continue acting more human like." Dad told me. I nodded my head miserably.
I really did try to act more human. I tried to ignore the strange and awesome powers that I had. I knew deep down my dad and mom only wanted me to have as normal life as possible, but it was impossible to ignore my Kryptonian nature forever. I may have been half human meaning I needed to eat and drink, but I didn't require sustenance as often. My skin was extra tough. You had to use a sharp blade to cut me so I would bleed, but otherwise I wouldn't even bruise. I just wanted to be normal so I would fit in.
When I was nine years old I was at a classmates birthday party. I was really excited because it was the first time I got to go to a party by myself. My parents had an important conference to attend at work so no one would be there watching me. We played all sorts of games like Treasure Hunt, Blind Man's Bluff, and we did some arts and crafts. After presents it was time for cake. I was sitting near the cake waiting for my classmate to blow out the candles when it happened. I had been having headaches all day, but I just ignored them. The moment the candles were blown out my heat vision kicked in and light them and the cake. Everyone screamed and the adults managed to calm us down and save the cake. I was just glad that no one saw me. I didn't need another lecture on control.
That night as I was trying to fall asleep I listened in on my parent's conversation. They were discussing my powers and me. "I don't understand it Lois. She's half human yet her powers are progressing at an astonishing rate. True they're not as powerful as mine and she seems to have them under control but still? Look at what happened today she could have hurt someone. Maybe it was wrong of us to want a child."
"You don't mean that Clark. There are a lot of reasons why her powers maybe progressing faster than yours did. Maybe its because she's a only half Kyrptonian or maybe its because she's a girl. Who knows really? The point is our daughter is going through some rather unique and difficult changes right now. She has some of your powers like super strength and super speed, but she doesn't have super breath or all your different types of visions. Be thankful she isn't flying yet. I'm proud that she is half human but I'm also very proud that she's half Kyrptonian. And don't you dare think it was wrong of us to want a child. Kara is a dream come true Clark. I wouldn't trade a moment with her for anything. I love her to much to do that." Lois told him. She leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "Don't worry so much Smallville everything will be fine."
I couldn't believe what I had just heard. My dad was ashamed of me? Well to be more specific he was ashamed of me being half Kyrptonian. He thought that his DNA inside of me was causing too much difficulties that I should only embrace the human part of me. But I couldn't do that. I would have to prove to him I was worthy of his DNA.
For the next several years I learn to master all my powers. Anytime I got a new one I would clamp down on it so it wouldn't cause any difficulties. I also started taking art classes and writing ones as well. I wanted to follow in my parent's footsteps and become a reporter, but I also wanted to illustrate for a living. My favorite images to sketch were of my parents. My dad flying to the rescue of my mom or something similar to that. When I entered high school as a freshman I joined the schools electronic newspaper. I was a hit for my originality and because of who my parents were.
But that was also around the same time I became even more at odds then ever against my Dad. We would practice for hours on learning control of my powers. I would demonstrate my control to him by zapping bottles with my heat vision. I could bench press about four and half tons, my senses were operating at full capacity although I still had trouble using magnification vision. I was almost as fast as my Dad. But the morning of my fourteenth birthday I woke up to a big surprise.
I knew my parents were planning me a surprise party. Jimmy, Perry, my grandparents, and all my friends would be there. I had already planned on wearing my pink leggings, green halter with a pink vest, and my boots. I also had my make up ready. I was planning on waking up extra early to get ready. So imagine my surprise when I roll over to shut off my alarm clock at five am and hit nothing but air. I sat up and let out a shriek. My parents came thundering in and their jaws dropped. I was levitating about four feet off my bed! "Wow now this is the best birthday present a girl can dream of!"
"Kara your flying! This is incredible! Do you think you can land and not fly off again?" My mom asked. I nodded my head and concentrated hard. I had never flown before and I had no idea how I was doing it so I had to seriously thing about how this power worked. I thought about all the things that made me happy then I focused on the ground. Slowly I descended to my bed. I stood up grinning like an idiot. "Well what do you think? Isn't this the coolest thing ever?"
"Maybe we should cancel the party. If you have a new power maybe we should concentrate on controlling it. It seems strange to me that you're already able to fly at fourteen. It took me till I was eighteen. This doesn't make any sense at all." Dad said looking at me like I had grown an extra head.
"Cancel my surprise party? No don't even think about it! I can control this power really. I just have to keep my focus at all times. I can do this. Besides it's way to late to be canceling everything. We can figure this out later Dad. Right now it's my birthday and I want to have fun!" I told him boldly. I was not going to have my special day ruined by my dad's over cautiousness. I could handle this.
At the party everything went smoothly. I talked with friends, danced, and played truth and dare. We had my favorite foods at the snake table. Potato chips, pretzels, and cookies. We also had three different types of soda along with chocolate ice cream and white cake. I don't have to worry about carbs or getting fat because of my metabolism. The other girls are envies of my figure.
After my party I helped my dad clean up at super speed. I loved when I was allowed to use my powers. After we finished cleaning up we joined my mom and grandparents in the kitchen. "So what's this I hear of you being able to fly?" Grandma asked me.
"It's true watch! All I have to do is focus my mind on things that fly and the feeling I get and zoom I off. I wonder how fast am? What are my maneuvering capabilities, can I stop and suddenly start? Well what do you think?" I asked happily.
"Your powers are very similar to mine Kara except they're not as powerful as mine. You seem to develop them a lot sooner and they seem to be getting stronger each year. But flying at age fourteen? I'm not sure I'll be able to help handle this one like the others. Perhaps for now you should forget about flying." Dad told me hesitantly.
"Are you crazy! Do you know how many people dream they could fly? I can and any time I want to. Don't you dare tell me to forget about this or that's its not normal. Guess what Dad I'm not normal! Would you be this hesitant about me getting my drivers license? Well forget it Dad I'm sick this. You never want me to use these powers but what am I suppose to do with them? It's not like there magically going away! Now if you excuse me I'm going flying!" I shouted angrily at him. I stormed out the kitchen to the balcony and focused. I didn't want to go plummeting to my death. I levitated in the air the cautiously took a step off the balcony. Nothing bad happened. I flew away trying to make sense of my feelings.
By the time I was sixteen I greatly matured both mentally, and physically. I was a star student at school, had my drivers licenses, and I was a star artist. I had become the top reporter and co editor on my school's paper. My powers were almost as great as my Dad's had been at age eighteen. I still didn't have full invulnerability, my eyes didn't have their full range of vision such as magnification and info red, and I still wasn't as strong as my dad was. But I was determined to prove myself to him.
I was in my room drawing in my sketchpad and looking at old photo's of my parents in their glory days. I had just gotten into another argument with my Dad about not using my powers. I had used a little super breath to stop a bully from pounding the living daylights out of a freshman. Now how could that be irresponsible? As I looked down at my sketchbook I saw that I had been sketching me in a superhero costume. For the past three weeks I had been doing that. It was time to step up and take the bull by the horns. I gathered up my sketchbook, the photos, and my jacket. I put on my jacket slung on my book bag and snuck out my room towards the balcony doors.
I flew towards my grandparent's farm in Kansas at top speeds. I was careful to avoid planes and other air born objects. Finally I landed just outside their home in Smallville. I took a deep breath smelling the fresh air and opened the front door. "Grandma? Grandpa, you guys home?" I called out.
My Grandma came rushing in from the living room followed shortly by Grandpa. "Kara! What a pleasant surprise. You didn't fly out here without telling anyone now did you?" Grandma chided.
"Martha enough. She gets enough lecturing at home from Lois and Clark. She doesn't need it from us. Looks like you have something important you want to discuss. Come into the living room and sit down. Martha will get some lemonade and cookies." Grandpa told me. I smiled relaxing. Just coming here always made me feel safe and secure.
After our snake I told them about how I'd been feeling lately. About how hard it was for me to live up to Dad's expectations, my own mixed feelings, and about my dreams. They listened patiently and gave me all sorts of advice. "The thing is this. I don't think Dad will ever respect me or trust me enough as a human girl. I'm not a human at least not fully and its time I stop pretending. I want to use these powers to help people and show everyone just what I'm made off. But I need your help to do that." I told them hesitating a bit. Would they help me in my scheme?
"Normally I'm not one to go behind someone's back and do something against their wishes, but if you think this is the only way we'll help you. Provide you tell your Dad how you feel after where done is that clear Kara?" Grandpa asked me sternly. I nodded my head yes and hugged them both tightly.
"Alright here's my costume idea. I based it mostly on Mom's Ultra Women costume with a few modifications. I just need you to measure me, sew it together, and lastly give me your opinion. Think you can do that?" I asked. Grandma looked at me and gave me a grin. "Dear there hasn't been a costume invented I haven't been able to sew yet. Lets get you measured."
A little while later I was behind a screen waiting for Grandpa to hand me my costume. My sketches, the photos and measurements were all laid out across the table. Grandpa handed me the first part of the costume and I grimaced. "Why does it have to be so tight?" I asked angrily. "It cuts down on wind resistance. Now stop complaining. Finish putting it on and show it to us." He insisted.
A few minutes late I was done getting dressed. I stepped back and let them see me. "Well how do I look?" I asked. They both smiled and gave me thumbs up. I walked over to the full-length mirror and took it all in. I had on a pair of knee high pink boots that had a yellow streak going down from the rim to the heel. I also had on a pink leotard, but because I needed extra protection Grandma had sewn on sleeves. I also had a pair of pink wrist guards. I wore a long green cape that was pinned in place by a pair of yellow stars. My S was pink and green. The last part to the costume was a pink mask. I was no longer Kara El Kent. I was Supergirl! "Thank you so much Grandma. Its perfect. I can't wait to show Mom it. Well I have to return home now. Thanks again!" I said gathering up my stuff into my pack. I hugged them good-bye and flew home in my costume.
I didn't know how my parents would react to me showing up in a costume when they had specifically told me not to do this. I knew that they both wanted me to have a normal life and that taking up the cape wasn't in that plan, but I felt I had no choice. I had just arrived in Metropolis when I saw it. A building was collapsing due to demolition, but I heard and saw some people still trapped in the building. I didn't think I didn't hesitate I just reacted.
I flew straight down and plowed through the building. I used my super strength to punch my way through the building and I used my super speed to locate everyone. I then blasted my way out of the remains of the building with my heat vision and carried everyone to safety. Some people's cloths were on fire so I used my super breath to put it out. I checked everyone over to make sure they were okay. That's when the reporters started showing up. Cameras were going off everywhere and they were asking a million questions at once. "Alright settle down. I'll answer a few questions."
"Who are you?" one reporter asked eagerly holding his palm pilot waiting to text his story. "I am the daughter of Superman and Ultra Women. I am Supergirl II or just plain Supergirl." I told them.
"Do you have all the same powers of Superman?" a female reporter asked. "Yes I do. Anything my parents can do I can do as well. One more question."
"Do you plain on making Metropolis your city as it was your father's?" one guy in the back shouted. "Yes I think Metropolis needs a hero. Now if you excuse me I have to be going." I shouted over the noise. I took to the air and flew home knowing that I was going to get an earful.
When I arrived home my parents were waiting in the living room for me. They were both watching the news broadcast of the new superherion. I walked inside and sat down on the chair next the couch and waited patiently. At first they just stared at me, finally I broke the silence. "Well don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Kara let me say this. I just glad that you weren't seriously hurt and that you helped those people. But please don't go sneaking off like that again you had me worried. And talking to those half bake reporters, Kara I expected a little more loyalty. At least you didn't give anything vital away. I think as your mother I deserve the exclusive." Mom told me pointly.
"Kara that was the most stupidest thing you've ever done. How could you go behind my back, forth your grandma, (yes I know her sewing anywhere) to make you a costume, and then go off saving people after I deliberately told you not to. Do you realize that you could have been seriously hurt? Look at your arm. You're bleeding. What if someone by the off chance had Kyrptonite on them? Or a thousand other possibilities spring to mind. Kara I know that you want to help people but this isn't the way to do it and especially not at your age. You just got your drivers license you should be having fun driving with your friends not flying about rescuing people from peril." Dad told me. He opened his mouth to say more, but I had had enough. It was time to interrupt.
"Excuse me, but just because you're my Dad doesn't mean you know everything there is about what's best for me or what I want to do with my life. All my life I've had to struggle because I'm only half Kyrptonian and half human. Not truly one race. I've tried to please both of you and to live as normal life as possible, but its not going to happen. I can't pretend for the rest of my life to be something I'm not. To answer your questions yes I did go behind your back because I knew you never approve of me doing something productive with my powers. I didn't forth Grandma to do anything she did it on her own and what did you expect me to do about that building? Yes I got hurt but you know that I'll heal in about a day. Kyrptonite doesn't affect me as bad as it does you. This is the only way I can help people Dad without the world discovering the truth. Its not that different then what you did as a teenager if Grandpa's stories are to be believed. I will never do anything that you don't want me to do again but right now please let me continue. I can handle being both a superhero and a teenage girl." I informed him. I stood up and faced him head on. I wasn't going to back down from this.
After what felt like an eternity he agreed that I could continue being a superhero. I hugged him tightly. I gave my mom her exclusive and wrote an article for my own paper. Over the next year I made over a hundred different rescues. When I joined the Justice League Unlimited I thought nothing could be better then being part of my Dad's old team. But something did. The next adventure would change my life forever in a way I couldn't imagine.
It was shortly after Athena moved in with us and that she started dating Gordon or Flashboy that I wanted a boyfriend. Everyone else had one except me and I found it to be totally unfair. I was a successful writer and artist, I got straight A's, and I was Supergirl. How could I not have a boyfriend? I was discussing these points with Athena when I bumped into a new student at school. "Excuse me. I didn't see you." I said. He held out his hand to help me up. I blinked once then twice. He was amazing.
He was a little taller then me with medium length brown hair and brown eyes. He had a pale complexion, but his fine chiseled facial features made up for that. He had some muscles on him and was about three inches taller then me. He was wearing a black jacket with a blue shirt and a pair of jeans. He seemed very friendly. "That's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going. This is my first day at this school and I wanted to get to class on time. I'm Tobias by the way. Tobias Ching." He said holding his hand out and we both shook it. "Ching you say? You don't look Chinese to me." Athena commented.
"Where I come from its normal. So what are your names?" Tobias asked.
"My name is Kara Kent and this is my best friend Athena Themyscira. Were both Juniors. We were on our way to lunch would you like to join us?" I asked. I was getting Goosebumps. He nodded and off we went together.
Over the next several weeks Tobias and I grew closer. I discovered that we not only shared the same birthday but similar interest as well. He loved reading classics and he was a great artist. But he also was a sensitive soul and great negotiator. He had a terrific laugh and his dream was to fly.
The only thing that bothered me was his bodyguards. At least that's what I called them. The one time I went to his house, which was a large two story brownstone, I was met with more security then the Pentagon. His bodyguards who were named Mara and Jaxan watch my every move like I was going to harm him. "Jeez what's with all the security anyways?" I asked as we left to go watch our team the Lions plays at a school sporting event.
"Sorry about that really I am. My mom and dad are very important government officials. Those two are suppose to protect me from any threat I might encounter while I'm here. You wouldn't believe how much I had to beg to go to normal high school and live my own life. Its like my parent's don't trust or respect me. My Dad especially he thinks I daydream to much." Tobias confided in me.
"Believe me I know what that's like. My parents are so well known sometimes it's hard to be their daughter. Its like I'm constantly living in their shadow trying to find my own way. My dad also doesn't like what I've chosen to do with my life. I fear he'll never respect or trust me. While were on the subject when do I get to meet your parents or were you come from. You've been very secretive about that." I told him as we arrived at the school.
He helped me out of the car and looked away for a moment. I knew he was hiding something. After keeping such a huge secret myself all my life I could tell when someone else was hiding. "I'm from here and there. My parent's move around a lot because of their job. You probably won't meet them. Come on lets go watch the game." Tobias told me hurriedly. I dropped the subject for now, but I knew something was up.
We had a three day weekend starting right after the game. I went home and started talking to Athena about Tobias. After all she was dating Gordon maybe she had some insight. "I mean Tobias is a great guy and I've never met someone I'm so comfortable with. I feel like I can tell him anything. But he's hiding something from me. I just wish I knew what it is. It's driving me crazy!" I told her. I was floating above my bed while sketching. She was on the bed meditating. She did that often to focus her warrior spirit.
"Maybe you're imagining it all. I mean look at you. You're keeping a lot of secrets from him. Still I can't help but feeling your right about this. Tobias gives off these weird vibes. I believe its my father's gift of curiosity that telling me that you should investigate more, but as your friend I say you should let him tell you when he's ready." Athena said quietly. Her pet owl landed on her shoulder and began to preen itself. "All the signs indicate that something important is about to happen. To who and what it is I have no clue, but I think it involves you. Now if you excuse me I have to go. It's my turn for monitor duty. I'll see you in three hours." With a flash of light she was gone.
I landed and stormed out of my room collapsing on the couch. Why did I care so much about this one thing Tobias was hiding from me? The doorbell rang so I got up and answered it. Standing on the doorstep was a beautiful lady with long brown hair and brown eyes. She had ivory skin and well defined features. She was wearing a black suit with a red vest. She looked at me thoughtfully. "Yes may I help you?"
"Kara who's at the door honey. Zara! What are you doing here?" My dad asked walking into the hallway. He seemed stunned to see this woman. I looked at him confused. "Dad do you know this women?" I asked.
"Yes he does know me Kara El. Just as I know you. Kal El I need to speak to both you and your family. It's a matter of life and death." Zara said stepping inside.
After we all settled down in the living room and my parents explained who Zara was they looked her expectedly. "Its good to see you again Lois, Kal El sorry Clark. I'm glad that your marriage has been successful. Mine has been to thanks to you two. Kara you certainly have grown into an impressive young lady. The last Lady of the house of El. That last time I saw you was when you where only a week old. After carrying you for nine months I knew you would become someone special. I delivered you to your parents with a letter of explanation. I only stayed long enough to hear them name you then I returned to New Krypton."
"You'll have to excuse me for being so surprised. I was never told about this before. I thought that my Dad was the last Kryptonian and that some scientist friends of his had made it possible for my conception. And what do you mean the House of El?" I asked her curiously.
"Your questions will have to wait to be answered Kara. Right now there is a more immediate threat. Clark two months ago New Krypton's sun experience a solar flare that caused it temporally give us yellow sunlight. To avoid a power struggle our scientist altered our DNA so that we wouldn't be able to absorb the light and use its power. Unfortunately there where unseen side effects to the solar flare. The DNA resequenceing has caused our cells to become unstable. We are all dying. The only way we can stop this is if our scientist can harvest untampered genetic patterns to create anti bodies that will attack the unstable genetic codes and force them to restabalize. You and your daughter are the only ones that can help us. Please come with me to New Krypton. The process will only take three days. Clark, Kal El you can't deny my request." Zara pleaded.
"No one is denying your request Zara. It's just that I'm not sure I could handle this. What if Clark and Kara get sick with this disease or something goes wrong with the procedure what then? Are you sure there's no other way?" My mom asked.
"There is no other way. We have tried everything. Our people are dying. If we die then Clark will truly be the Last Son of Krypton. Lois I know your scared and are worried for the safety of your family, but as the ruling Lady I have to consider the safety of my people before yours." Zara told her. She then shook slightly and let out a small moan of pain.
My Dad and I looked at one another. I wanted to go. This would be an interesting opportunity to learn more about my Kryptonian heritage. Besides wasn't it the mission of the Justice League to help people? My Dad saw the determination in my eyes and nodded. "Zara you gave me the greatest gift I could ever ask for. You also showed me that I'm not as alone as I once thought. Kara and I will go with you to New Krypton and assisted you with the rescue of your, I mean our people. Just let us pack a few things and will be on our way." Zara smiled. A few minutes later we where on her cloaked ship zooming off to New Krypton.
While on route I decided to learn as much as I could on this trip. I was going to question both Zara and Dad as soon as I got done unpacking. When I entered my quarters I found a strange garment on the bed. It looked like Zara's robes only with a blue S insignia on the chest and a long black cape. I put it on and went to the mess hall were they were both drinking some strange blue liquid. Dad was wearing a similar garment. I guess it was the customary dress style on New Krypton. "Mind telling me a little more about my heritage now Dad?"
My Dad looked at me uncomfortably so Zara decided to answer for him. "Your father was born into the Noble House of El. He and I where wed as infants like tradition states. You see Kara there are ruling Houses who govern the planet and the children are married to one another to keep the alliances between the houses. I was born into the House of Ra. To make a long story short your father abdicated his ruling to my husband General Ching. He and I now rule the planet along with the remainder of the colonist who survived the explosion. You are a daughter of the House of El so that makes you a Lady or royalty. If you are interested in any more history or customs the ships computer can tell you anything you want to know. Just think it and it will tell you." Zara explained to me. I nodded my head and went off to find a computer terminal.
"She's certainly a bundle of energy. I would never have imagined that I would ever see her again. I have missed her as well as you and your wife. Your company was most delightful and would have been a refreshing distraction from all the problems I have to deal with." Zara said to my father.
"She more than just a bundle of energy. Her powers came to her much faster than mine did. But her human heritage seems to have limited her somewhat to danger. I just wish she didn't always rush into danger. I'm glad that we get a chance to see each other again. I missed our friendship to. I never did properly thank you for what you did for Lois and me. It was the most special gift we've ever received. I hope that Kara didn't put you in any danger while you where pregnant with her." Dad told her.
"No she didn't. Clark there is something you should know. The reason I was able to carry Kara without complications is because I was pregnant with my own child. My body compensated for her human factors by reproducing a supplement for her needs while at the same time providing for my child. I gave birth to a boy Clark and as tradition dictates he should be married into the next noble house in the line. Unfortunately the next house in the line had a son so the only other option is your daughter. When we get to New Krypton we can discuss this further with Ching. I think you'll like my son. He's been on Earth studying your culture but has returned home for the weekend. Ah we have arrived. Lets go." Zara said simply getting up.
My Dad and I stood nervously waiting for the door to appear so the welcoming committee could greet us. I knew my Dad was pretty important and so I must be to. I hoped I didn't embarrass myself. The ships wall vanished and we where greeted by three advisor, two doctors and Ching. He held out his arms and Zara ran into them. My Dad and I walked down and stood next to her. "Its good to see you again Ching. Glad to see your new position hasn't gone to your head."
"Humor. I still have trouble recognizing it. You know are advisors and these our top genetists Dr. Pring and Dr. Norm. They will be in charge of the procedure in gathering the genetic material to reproduce an anti body." Ching said indicating who everyone was. He bowed to me and I curtsied to him. That's when I heard footsteps approaching. I stood tall wondering who it was.
"Clark this is my son I mentioned earlier. He just returned on his private transport. I like you to meet my son Tobias, Tobias this Lord Kal El and his daughter Lady Kara." Zara said introducing us. Tobias and I just stared at each other for a good two minutes before I stormed over and slapped him hard across the face. "How could you lie to me like this! Why didn't you tell me the truth?" I screamed before running away leaving everyone gawking.
I just ran and ran till I found the door to a private bedroom. I entered the room and locked myself in and fell onto the bed crying. The boy of my dreams wasn't even human! To make matters worth he was some kind of royalty. Why didn't he eve just tell me the truth? Why did he have to lie to me? He had to know who I was so why didn't he come out and say anything? I heard someone knocking at the door. I didn't want to talk to anyone. "Go away!"
"Kara open up. We need to talk. I know that I've hurt you and that it feels like I betrayed you, but you don't understand everything. Please talk to me." Tobias pleaded.
"I have nothing to say to you. You lied to me and played me like a fool. Now you want my help in saving your people? I don't think so." I told him.
Suddenly the door opened by itself and he strolled in. He looked at me angrily. He was no longer wearing his Earth clothes. Instead he was wearing a black jumpsuit with a red C stylized on it with a small gold band around his head. He put his hands on his hip and glared at me. "Look Kara I might have betrayed your trust, but that's no reason to forgo helping the rest of my people. They're your people to. You betrayed me to Kara. You didn't tell me that you were half kryptonian. Kara you have no idea what it's like here you? Were not even true Kyrptonians anymore. Most of us have been born on this planetoid we've been trying to terraform for over fifty years. We have an artificial atmosphere, protective shielding so we can travel outside safe, we have measures in place to keep our sun going longer. Compared to this place Earth is a paradise."
"Look I had no choice. I had to protect my identity. You didn't Tobias. If you truly loved and trusted me you would have told me. I admire what you guys have done to survive really I do and I will help you but I still hate the fact that you lied to me. You said your parents were high ups in the government and that you were different them. Did you know who I really was while you were on Earth? What where you doing on Earth anyways? Did you even really love me?" I demanded angrily.
"I never lied to you. I just didn't say the whole truth. So what if my parents are rulers of a planet and I'm a lord? Yes I had an idea of who you really where. How couldn't I? Mom was always talking about you and your family. We kept tabs on you over the years incase we ever needed your help again. I was on Earth because I wanted to meet you and learn more about humans. They're so much alike yet different then us. Were naturally stronger, smarter, and don't require as much substance to survive. Kara my tutors had taught me everything I needed to know in being a good leader but I'm not like my parents. I have different dreams but I will be the next leader of our world regardless. I love you Kara always. That was never a lie. Where meant to be together." Tobias said stepping closer.
"What about tradition? Aren't you all ready bonded to someone in the next House? We can't have a relationship if you are." I told him standing up.
That's when he looked at me uncomfortably. "Um well you see I was supposed to be bonded to the next House but they had a son and all the other houses either have sons or daughters that are to old or young for me. The only House that has a bond mate for me is the House of El." Tobias said sheepishly.
I stared at him like he had lost his mind before I screamed at him. "You have got to be kidding me! Where expected to be wed to one another. I'm supposed to give up my life on Earth for you and this dumb piece of space rock? Forget it! I'm leaving now. I'll go ahead with the harvesting procedure then I'm gone. Were over Tobias good bye." I started to storm out of the room.
Tobias yelled for me to stop but I ignored him. I continued down the hallway. All of a sudden I heard his voice inside my head. "STOP!" I came to a stand still and turned to look at him. "How in the world did you do that? I heard you in my head I know I did."
"Kryptonians are telepathic with one another. I took a gamble that you were a partial telepath and would be able to hear me. Kara I love you and that's never going to change. Let me prove that to you. Now lets go help my people." Tobias said.
"Alright Tobias. Lets go." I said telepathically. The harvesting went exactly as planned. My genetic patterns were taken then used to create antibodies that would fight the destabilization. Soon all the Kryptonians were once again healthy. It was time to return to Earth. Tobias would be joining us on the transport. My Dad and Zara had discussed it and Tobias and I would be bonded to one another and one day rule if that was our choice. After saying our good byes and promising to return for visit we left. The minute we got home I hugged my Mom just glad to see her. I then told Athena everything and how it all worked out in the end.
I've had a lot of obstacles in my life. I've had to mature a lot faster then most people and learn to fight for what I want. Having famous parents may be fun, but I have to make my own way in life. That includes my personal life, my superhero carrier, and my love life. But through it all I have got what I most desired. The respect and trust of the one person I love and fear the most in my world. My Dad Clark Kent also known as Superman.
