Kara was sitting in front of a café, watching the accounting firm across the street. She was following, well, stalking, this earths Hank Henshaw. She didn't hunt him down, she just came upon him by pure chance. She was just walking down Main Street of Coast city, when she saw him; she felt her eyes heat up and her fists clinch, when she saw who it was. She had to pull back and take a few deep breaths and remind herself that this was not the Henshaw she hated and killed, this was a different Henshaw. She was about to find out how different he is.
Hank Henshaw walked out of the accounting firm he worked for and headed across the street to the café, she was at. At first she thought she was found out, but then he did something that almost had her spitting her coffee out all over her table. She watch as Hank, walked up to another black man and kiss him on the lips then squat down and hug and kiss two kids on the cheek. They all sat down at a table and had lunch together and she listened as they talked about family matters; school, bills, and other family members. When lunch was done Hank and the other man stood and gave each other a kiss then hank hugged the kids, then went back to work. 'Oh, Hank Henshaw, would not have liked this version of himself at all. He would have hated it, being the bigot he was.' She thought and chuckled. She knew that the Hank Henshaw from her world not only hated aliens but he was also a homophobe.
Kara got up and put her sunglasses on and straightened her hat, then left. She had an appointment with a real estate agent. She was looking to buy some property to either be used for a satellite lab or a redoubt. Her main lab was in Star City and it was making money from the government contracts she was able to steel from Palmer Tech. Her five year plan was to buy out Palmer Tech.
Gotham City
Kara was standing on the roof of a warehouse on the Gotham docks watching the Batman and his team beat up some goons that work for a sociopath named the Joker and his wackadoodle girlfriend Harley Quinn. This wasn't her city, so she wasn't going to get involved in this battle. What she couldn't understand is that the Batman would capture this Joker; somehow he would escape and then cause chaos and mayhem, causing death and destruction. She just couldn't understand; he would do all of this and there really was no real consequences for his actions. He just escapes, he seems to enjoy everything that happens too him, it's all one big game. She shook her head, 'if this is how the Batman and the people of Gotham wanted to deal with these types of psychopaths, who was she to judge.' She thought. All she knew was that if he came to Star City, he better hope the Arrow and his team got to him first. Because if he caused the death of one child in her city, no one would see that clown ever again.
When the Joker, Harley and their goons where brought down, Kara turned and headed to the other side of the warehouse where she lifted off and headed back to the penthouse she bought.
Central City
Kara was in her full armor, hood down and mask off hovering above Central City. She was enjoying the cool night breeze blowing through her hair and on her face; well till she heard something from below. She looked down and zoomed in with her sight and saw a battle between the Flash and what to her looked like it was half man and half shark, or more shark than man. She watches as the fight between the two play out. She watched and figured that the Flash could handle this shark like creature. That is till the Flash was circling the shark creature and then was knocked down then grabbed and thrown into a wall. The Flash didn't get up and the shark creature started to lumber over to the downed Flash. That's when Kara decided to intervene. She put her mask back on and dropped straight down.
She landed hard on the pavement behind the shark creature and put her hood up over her head. King Shark heard the impact and turned, and roared at Kara and swung a meaty fist at her. Kara ducked under the right hook and launched a punch into the creature's stomach. She heard an oomph and caught a waft of fish breath. She stepped back out of the creature's reach and waved a hand in front of her nose, "whoa, you need to brush your teeth big boy."
King Shark, swiped at Kara, she ducked under the swing but was hit by the back swing. She went flying through the air and hit a car further down the street. She stood up from the wreck, rolled her neck and pointed at the shark man thing. "Let's dance guppy."
King Shark growled and picked up a small truck and threw it at Kara. Kara caught the truck and threw it right back and followed right behind it. King Shark knocked the truck out of the air away from him but was hit in the gut when Kara rammed her shoulder into him. King Shark went flying through the air and skidded down the road. Kara grabbed the shark man by his left large ankle and swung him, then let go and he hit a wall. Before he could recover Kara blurred towards him, when he tried to get up she kicked his arm and heard a cracking noise, she took a quick glance and saw what was either bone or cartilage sticking out of his arm. The shark creature screamed in pain. She saw him turn his head and try to snap at her so she lightly back handed him in the snout causing his head to snap to the side and hit the wall. Kara then turned to leave when the Flash suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I..um just wanted to say thanks for your help with King Shark there, sooo…thanks." The Flash stuck out his hand. "The name is the Flash. And you are?"
Kara, looked down at his hand and sighed and used her cloak to hide the fact that she was reaching for a pouch, she unclipped it and a disc fell out in to her hand. "Nullum Negotium Tuum?"
Thanks to all the years on the run on the other earth, Kara's senses where sharp, her ears twitched when she heard a small voice coming from the Flash. "Barry, that's Latin for 'none of your business.' I don't think she wants you to know who she is or what she calls herself."
Kara, chuckled when she heard this and couldn't help herself when she said, "Hello Barry."
Barry stuttered, "tha…that….that….thats not my name."
Kara couldn't really help herself and laughed. She turned and headed to an ally. But as she entered the alley, the Flash was in front of her again. "Look, you're a Breacher and we have questions that need to be answered and I really can't let you leave till we know you aren't a threat."
At this Kara got mad and pushed past Barry with a shoulder check that she knew would hurt. She mumbled, "This is what I get for helping."
After Barry hit the wall he rubbed his shoulder, and grimaced in pain. He saw the figure in black walking further into the alley and yelled. "Stop."
Kara, stopped and tensed up then spun around. "No one tells me where I can or can't go." She brought the disc in her hand up, closed her eyes and activated it. There was a flash of bright light. She heard the Flash scream. She shot up into the sky and didn't stop till she was just under the clouds. She looked down and watched as the Flash stumbled out of the alley and black SUV's and large black trucks pull up, then A.R.G.A.S agents spill out of the SUV's. They surrounded the shark like creature who didn't put up a fight when they hooked him up to a crane and lifted him up into a tank on a flatbed.
She watched as a female agent went up to this Barry person and start talking to him. "I'm sorry he got away again Flash. He killed three of my agents." The woman scratched the back of her neck. "Thanks for capturing him again."
"Um…Actually, I didn't capture him, some woman in black did; and before you ask where she is or who she is, I don't know."
The woman waved her hand in a dismissive gesture, and pointed to King Shark. "I don't care about her, I only care about getting him back, and continuing research into curing him."
Kara was surprised at this, her old earth would have weaponized him. She decided she saw and heard enough so she flew to her hotel.
Rockies
Kara flying over the Rockies, taking a much needed weekend off. Between traveling around the country buying property, board meetings and working from sun up to sun down all she wanted was to relax and enjoy the sun on her skin and the wind in her hair. Out of all her powers, flying was by far her favorite; when she flew she felt free. Another part about flying, especially in places like over the Rockies, was that the eagles would be curious about her and fly beside her for a while.
She saw a lake and flew towards it. When she was over the lake she used her sight and hearing to make sure no one was around, then she let herself drop. She pulled her knees up and wrapped her arms around them as she dropped. She cannonballed into the lake, causing a huge splash, the ripples spread out.
When Kara reached the bottom she lightly pushed off the floor of the lake and swam to the surface. When she breached the surface she lay on her back and just floated. Kara inhaled and took in the scents of the forest surrounding the lake. She was able to detect, pine, oak, ash and a myriad of other scents; some of which she blocked out. She was enjoying the feeling of both the sun and water on her skin; she was finally able to relax after so long. Since coming to this earth she was able to start to relax, but not by much. She still has to be vigilant. But right now she felt she could let go and just be, and enjoy this.
But her peace was rudely interrupted when something grabbed her around the waist and dragged her under the water. Kara was shocked and at first frantic, but when she felt whatever it was let her go she swam back up to the surface. She took a deep breath and looked around, then felt something grab her right ankle and she was jerked back under the water before she could do anything. Again whatever it was that grabbed her let go; this time she shot out of the water and hovered about twenty feet above the surface of the lake and started to look around, using her x-ray vision to look under the surface, but she didn't see anything. She stopped looking when she heard of all things, giggling.
Kara spun and saw a girl in the water, waving at her. Kara tentatively waved back. What she saw next shocked her; the girl actually lifted herself out of the water and stood on the surface of the lake, then waved for Kara to follow. At first she was a bit apprehensive, but she was curious about this, "lady of the lake."
The 'girl' walked across the lake to the shore, then sat down on the bank, and patted the spot next to her. Kara alighted on the bank, but didn't sit, she just looked at the girl. "Was it you that pulled me under the water twice?"
The girl looked up at Kara, smiled and nodded. "Yes. But to be fair, you did do a cannon ball into my lake."
Kara nodded at this. "Ok, you got me there. So tell me how this is your lake."
The girl looked out over the lake, held out her hand palm up. A large globe of water rose up from the water and floated over to the girl. "I'm a water Nymph. I would tell you my name but you wouldn't be able to pronounce it, so you can just call me Helen." Helen moved her hand in a circle and the globe of water followed. "So all bodies of water are mine, and my sisters, by virtue of birth."
Kara nodded as she watched the globe of water move around. She sat down next to Helen keeping one eye on the globe and the other on the water Nymph.
Helen looked at Kara. "So tell me, who and where are you from? I know you aren't human. Nor are you one of the elements, nor are you a god."
Kara tore her eyes from the dancing water and looked the girl in the eyes and for some reason she felt that she could trust her; it has been a long time since she trusted anyone, since J'onn actually. Over the years since his death, she sometimes longed for a friend. Looking into Helens eyes she felt she could trust this creature.
"My name is Kara and I am from another universe and another planet." Now was the time to see how this girl reacted, and she was surprised.
Helen just shrugged and said, "Cool." With a twist of her hand the globe of water broke up into four different globes and started dancing around each other, then with a flick of her wrist she sent them back into the lake.
Helen held out her hand. Kara looked at and tentatively reached out and shock the girl's hand. "Nice to meet you Kara."
"Nice to meet you too Helen." Kara looked up at the sky and asked, "So, you aren't freaked out about what I said?"
Helen shook her head. "Nope, have you ever heard of the Loch Ness Monster?" She used air quotes when she said monster.
Kara nodded. "Just heard the stories, never had the time to sight see where I am from, why?"
"He is from another universe too." Helen pointed to the water and it formed into a plesiosaur. "He came through a portal that opened up in an underwater cave that is in Loch Ness; he is quite sweet once you get to know him. My sisters and I try to keep him hidden from the humans." Kara saw a mischievous smile form on the nymph's face, "Sometimes we let the humans see him every now and again just to mess with them." They both chucked at that lil' confession. "So, no I'm not surprised."
Kara had a look of surprise written all over her face then she shook it off. "I don't know why I am surprised by that."
Helen nodded, then had an idea. "Maybe I can introduced you two one day. I'm sure he would love it."
Kara couldn't help but nod at this, "I would be honored to meet such a noble creature."
Helen tilted her head like she was listening to something then sighed. "I have to go, some mermaids got into a bit of scuffle with some Atlanteans and I have to go mediate, again." Helen stood up and held her hand out to Kara. "It was nice meeting you Kara, I hope to see you again."
Kara took Helens hand in return. "It was surprising and good meeting you to Helen. I hope to see you again sometime."
"Don't worry you will." With that, Helen walked into the water, when she was deep enough she dove under the water and was gone.
Kara stood their beside the lake and smiled, it was nice making a friend after all this time and for some reason she knew she would be seeing the Water Nymph again. She looked up into the sky and decided it was time to head back to her penthouse and business in Star City. She bent her knees and launched herself into the sky.
A/N: Let me know what you thing so far.
