Wake up, Cel-El. Your sleep cycle has ended.
Brainiac? Is that you, Brainiac?
Yes, Cel-El. It is I. Your sleep cycle has ended. It is time to rise, Cel-El.
Her eyes slowly opened to see a greenish liquid and bubbles around her. There was a mask on the lower half of her face. And she was encased in something.
"Good morning, Cel-El." A voice said as if it was in her ears. "Do you recognize my voice? You can't talk while you're wearing the mask. Nod if you recognize me?"
Brainiac, who is that?
That is Lex Luthor of the Planet Earth. The Planet you are currently on.
She nodded. "That doesn't count, Cel-El. You asked Brainiac. You have to remember on your own, young lady."
How does he know what I'm saying to you, Brainiac?
There are brain wave sensors attached to your temples and a cybernetic port at the base of your neck that he has plugged into. Do you wish to know how it is connected to your cerebrum?
I want out! Get me out of here!
As you command, Cel-El. Structure integrity analysis pending…complete. Vocal Sonics will shatter the containment capsule.
Cel-El took a deep breath. "What do you think you're doing?"
She screamed load and hard. The mask shattered, the liquid amplified her sonic scream and the containment capsule shattered just like Brainiac had said. She fell out of her capsule and landed on all fours. Monitoring tabs ripped off her skin and the cable in her port was jerked out.
"What did you do? Stay put I'll have a new capsule brought up." Luthor said trying to sound like he was in charge.
Sonic Speed is the only way to get out to the main elevator shaft. From there, fly up to the surface. Your escape will alert the protectors of this planet, The Justice League. Hurry before the security arms themselves with Kryptonite bullets.
She pushed herself on to her feet and sped out of the lab and down the hall. She hit the brakes before she hit closed elevator doors. She fit her nails between the crack that opened the doors and forced them open. She jumped upward and flew up the shaft as fast as she could. Her momentum launched her through the hidden room that was the entrance to the lab below her. Suddenly she was in yellow sunlight and felt her power leap in amount.
"Brainiac, are they coming?" Cel-El asked looking around. "I don't see them."
Your escape has alerted their head quarters called the Watch Tower. I have locked on to their signal and have acquired their coordinates. There are several Watch Towers orbiting Earth. The main Tower will be directly above you in 12.9 seconds. In your belt is a device called an Astro Rebreather. Put it in your mouth and fly straight up. I will open the hanger doors and lower the shields for you. There will be a leap in abilities as soon as you're free from the Atmosphere.
"I understand, Brainiac. Thank you." Cel-El took a small rebreather from her belt, and put it in her mouth. She flew upward, gaining more and more speed. She soon shot up through the last layer of Atmosphere and neared a white space station. The shields went down and the hanger doors open. Cel-El shot in and the doors closed behind her. She landed on her feet and was soon caught in a green energy claw.
"Huh? What the heck?" Cel-El tried to get free but she couldn't.
"Quit struggling or I'll tighten the claw." A man said holding the source of the energy, a green ring. She recognized the symbol.
"Wait-I know you! You're the Green Lantern." Cel-El said excitedly. "Your civilian name is John Stuart. Your planet of origin is Earth."
"Uh, yeah. How do you know that?" The Green Lantern asked relaxing a little.
"You're a hero of Earth, a member of the Justice League. Brainiac's been teaching me who you all are." Cel-El told him with a smile. "Brainiac says it's important to know who you can trust and he says the Justice League can be trusted. My name is Cel-El. It's an honor to meet someone from the Green Lantern Corp."
"Why, thank you, Cel-El. Say you wouldn't know a man named Kal-El, would you?" GL asked, slowly easing her floor so at least her feet were on the ground.
"He's my father." Cel-El replied him with a happy smile.
"Uh, Cel-El, I'm going to let you go. Promise you won't run off?" Green Lantern asked the young Kryptonian girl.
"That's why I came here so I could stay here. I won't run off-Krypton Honor."
"Well, then, Cel-El. Let's take you to your father." Green Lantern took her hand and led her out of the hanger. "You know we're in space right?"
"Yup. Brainiac told me that's where the Watch Towers were and this one was the one my father was in." Cel-El smiled.
"Brainiac?" Her escort looked at her. She held up her left wrist showing him her cuff. "Is that Brainiac?"
"Uh-huh. Brainiac, say hello to our new friend." Cel-El said to her cuff. A hologram of Brainiac appeared from the camera on her head set. The hologram was only a few inches tall but it was only the symbol, not the machine.
"Hello, Green Lantern Jonathan Stuart." Brainiac replied. "I had just finished teaching Cel-El about Earther heroes when Lex Luthor awoke her from her Stasis Cell."
"So, Brainiac, how did you know to send her here? To Earth?" John asked.
"Kal-El programmed me to bring her here, to Earth. I have been programmed to educate her on everything she had to know to protect this world along with her family."
"And why would I send her here?" Superman asked, walking up to Green Lantern and the new Supergirl.
"Greetings, Kal-El." Brainiac said politely, his refined digital voice full of respect. "I have brought Cel-El to this time as you have instructed."
"Answer my question, Brainiac." Superman commanded.
"Of course, Kal-EL. In the 21st century, year 2049, you reconstructed your stasis pod and placed Cel-El inside as Earth began to crumble faster than Krypton had." Brainiac explained. "You commanded me to bring her here, to replace Kara-Sol as Supergirl and to prevent the Earth from being destroyed. She is here for her own protection."
"Alexander Luthor, son of Lionel Luthor, does not exist in my time. He had been dead for over 15 years before I was born."
