2010 July 5th 4.12
Supergirl stared at the moon as she watched some of the last league members to fly off into the distance. If she looked hard she could see the craters on the moon and the varying brightness that marked the seas of the moon.
It was a certainly a pretty sight she decided as the woman who floated whilst dressed in blue and armed with a gold lasso disappeared of into the distance along with a green skinned man.
I wondere where they were going to as the only thing I could see in that direction other than buildings making up the city was the moon but I figure that was too far away for them to be going to.
As she stared at the skyline in what she assumed was the east she saw what could be the rising light of the coming day, the sky over there certainly looked a little lighter.
Just me, superboy and four others I thought as I looked around at the ruins of Cadmus trying to spot who was still here.
"Hey Supergirl" waves Robin as he and the black clad man from earlier stride towards them.
I knew that I wasn't actually called Supergirl but seeing that everyone around her including her 'brother' seemed to be calling her that she guessed it was a fine name for now.
she thought how shocking it was that anyone was her brother but she supposed since they had both come from the same home and she was the taller then it was her job to take care of her little brother.
she was slightly scared about it to be honest what if he didn't like her, I mean they hadn't really spoken, I don't suppose he can really have decided then if he likes me yet she reasoned.
her thoughts drifted back to her name, something about it just seemed off, not in a big way but she just couldn't put her finger on it.
"Supergirl" she whispered under her breath as she tried to sound out her name, whilst it still felt weird to talk she wanted to be able to speak, the name did sound powerful she thought with a smile.
She realised that she hadn't whispered as quietly as she thought she had as she suddenly she was being stared at by both Robin and superboy with surprised looks on there faces, she also noticed that the man in a full black armoured suit had also sharply turned his head towards her, his look wasn't so much surprised as expectant as if he had thought she would speak up at some point.
"What's up""what did Supergirl do?" Asked Kidflash as he turned to stare at her having missed her speaking.
"She just spoke" said Robin as he looked at her curiously.
"Whoah seriously, what did she say?" I watched with some amuse ant as he seemed to realise that I was standing right there "I mean what did you say" he said turning to ask me.
"Supergirl" I stated as loudly as I could, which wasn't that loudly "my name ... Is Supergirl" I said my voice getting a bit raw at the end.
The astonished looks that stared at me gave me remorse as I shrank away from the stares for a second before standing straight again, they hadn't been cruel so far and they'd let me out of my prison and Cadmus so I should be able to trust them.
"Isn't it?" I said quietly after a few seconds as I wondered whether they knew my name, I didn't want to be mean to them but it had been a very weird day and I was pretty confused.
"We don't know" said Robin kindly as he looked at me "Cadmus didn't have records on any other human or animal experiments within it except for superboy and the genomorphs"
"Oh" there really wasn't anything else to say considering that they had just admitted that they had no idea what I was, I didn't quite understand what a Genomorph was but I nodded my head anyway.
"Your probably a female clone of superman" said Kidflash as he put a hand on my shoulder reassuringly "and I think that you look better than the original" he said smiling at me.
He was a nice guy and I gave him a tight hug and a smile before letting him go to stand by my brother again, I figured that even if I couldn't really speak yet without it hurting he should know I was there with him. 'I mean if he was feeling as confused as she was he would certainly appreciate it' she decided as took another tentative shuffle towards him so that she was only a metre away.
"We should split them up, the girl will come with Robin and I and the boy can go to a safe house in central city" said the Black armoured man, Batman she remembered that was his name Robin had pointed him out earlier along with all the other league members but she had just smiled and nodded as there were too many names to really remember.
"There's hardly a need for that for that" said the red dressed man who she remembered was called Flash, which was such a cool name! it sounded so fast!. " I and kid here can monitor them both easily in central city." He said as he waved to where she stood next to her brother. "She hardly looks like she's going to cause trouble."
"Hmm" said batman as he stared at her before walking towards her and superboy, why did he have to have such a scary mash she thought as he stared at her then then her brother.
It felt like she stood still in front of him for at least a solid minute before he nodded and suddenly pointed a weird gun towards a building across the street and grappled to it, he knocked both her and her brother with his cape as he flew off though her brother seemed most caught as he fell onto one of his hands before rising and glaring at where the batman had fled too.
She was glad that the batman was gone there was something about him that made her slightly nervous.
"Sorry about that" said Robin as he gave her a wave before sprinting off towards where batman before grappling into the air and away. " I'll see you all soon" he shouted back as he disappeared.
"Well" said flash with a grin " looks like you too are coming with us. Now normally junior and I would just run back but I figure seeing as you two can't fly" he stopped looking at Kidflash.
"They can't fly, right?" He checked getting a nod back from Kid Flash.
Her brother ground his teeth loud enough that she could him, she glared at him trying to tell him off with a look, she was pretty sure as the big sister it was her job to make him behave.
At it as she wondered why he was upset I mean it wasn't like they ever could fly so they hadn't lost anything had they!.
"Anyway" said Flash getting back on track "we'll be taking a boom tube to the city and don't worry we'll take it slow" he said with a smile.
He and Kid flash were definitely the nicest people shed met since she'd left the labs she thought as looked at the ruined surface of what had been her home and found she wasn't upset at all to be leaving it, she'd never been happy here, well except for when she had talked to Voice.
she was shocked out of her thoughts when kid flash suddenly started off towards the distance quickly disappearing from view with a cry of "race you!" Over his shoulder
"oh your on!" Shouted Flash before disappearing even quicker from view leaving just me and my brother behind.
"Come on" he said with a growl and a look at me before jumping after where the speedsters had gone, easily jumping a hundred metres into the air and landing five hundred metres from where he had started.
Looking at where he had stood I saw that the ground had cracked and buckled from where he had jumped and I wondered if I could do the same.
I tensed my knees and sprang upwards high into the air after my brother except I only managed to jump about twenty metres from where I had been standing.
I jump again and this time I try my hardest but I still jump only about 30 metres kicking up a cloud of dust I enjoy the feeling of being in the air for a second before preparing for the landing.
I trip and go rolling down the road towards where Superboy is waiting for me a critical eye is all I glance before I spin.
"Arghh" I shout as I stop falling and pick myself up again.
What can I do, this clearly isn't working and I'm slowing up the others.
I can't jump high enough to leap from place to place like superboy can and I'm not fast enough to run like the speedsters.
"Uhm I know your kyrptonian and all but can you keep up?" Said flash from behind me, nearly scaring me out of my skin.
I don't mean to jump but I do a little, I mean it's not a real jump but it is.
"look it's okay if you can't it's been a long day."
I agree with that but I'm not tired it's been a amazing day since I formed but sleep is the furthest thing from my mind right now and I'm not tired at all.
"Can't jump" I say my voice hurting a little still, "could we walk?" I ask not wanting him to run off like before.
"Sure, cmon lets walk" he says calmly as he pats me on the back.
"Were pretty close anyway thats why me and Kid took of like that" he says after we've taken a few steps.
I nod my head unsure what to say to that.
We walk in a friendly silence for a while after that, or at least I think it's friendly I really haven't known anyone for nearly long enough to guess whether im good at social interaction or not.
The silence is broken as we catch up to superboy who asks loudly " can't you jump as high as me"
I shake my head, I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm fairly sure I'm just not as strong as my brother which is weird seeing as I'm the bigger one.
He stares at me after my answer but just nods like he's been expecting it.
Another silence falls after that but it doesn't feel as good as the one before, I think it's a slightly awkward one but I can't be sure I've not had much experience yet.
I look around at the streets were passing, artificial light and the moon which hangs low now in the sky are the only forms of light in the world, everywhere I look there's light and colour and I start to smile again at being out of my prison.
I would take a million awkward silences over going back.
My thoughts are interrupted by kid flash waving in the distance shouting " what took you guys so long" he asks.
Superboy grunts and gestures at me to which I mutter "sorry" to kid flash.
"Aw don't worry bout it we got all night" he says with a wave which makes me smile, no one other than my brother has really gotten annoyed at me yet.
As Kidflash and Flash turn down a dirty ally strewn with trash they come to a brick wall against witch rests a old blue telephone booth.
"Give me a sec" says Flash before speeding into the box and imputing a series of numbers so quickly his hand blur before my eyes.
"Got it" he says as with a click the back of the telephone box retreats into the wall showing a large smooth walled white tunnel that continues on for a few metres before suddenly stopping.
"Alright just follow kid here into the light" says flash as Kidflash walks down the glowing tunnel before disappearing in white light.
i and superboy shared a look before I went on ahead into the light.
The light inside the tube glowed brighter as I walked until I felt my feet taking me one step forward before my view changed from bright light to to another trash strewn ally, this one with a dumpster I noticed idly.
"Welcome" says Kidflash with a flourish " to Central City"
