The wait in the safe house for anything to do didn't last long and pretty much as soon as Dr Shires left and I was just thinking about going to talk to Ssuperboy there was a banging from the door the doctor had just left from.
"Hi" I tried to shout through the door, it still coming out a bit strained from my throat as I went to the door.
"Mitts me mmidash" said the voice from through the door " I Morgot the passcode would you open up" said the now easily recognisable voice of Kidflash.
As I stood in front of the door I looked at the complex looking keycode display hanging on the side of the door and wondered how I was meant to do that? before simply grabbing the door handle and twisting it revealing that the door hadn't been fully locked from the inside.
"Thanks, you would not believe how many different codes there are for everything" said Kidflash as he came in past me.
I noticed immediately that he had changed his clothes, rather than his near full body yellow suit he had been wearing he now was dressed in white t shirt with a green hoody blue jeans and baseball cap that shaded his eyes and covered most of his ginger hair from the sun outside.
Uhh the sun, it was so bright I thought as he closed the door behind him, I had always known it was but had never thought just how bright!
"Anyway just for you.. well and your cloney brother I've decided to reveal my secret identity, I'm wally nice to finally meet you without the mask" he said as he reached out his hand towards me.
"I'm Supergirl" I said unsure how to respond as I took his hand and shook it with a smile before noticing him wincing and quickly letting go.
"Yep I know, we'll need to get you a proper name at some point" he said giving his hand a shake from which I think I heard cracking before looking behind me and around the room.
"How about a nickname for now?, you could be Sj and Superboy's could be Kr, just until you pick out something more permanent" he said.
'Sj' I tried it out in my head to see if it would work I mean I suppose it did didn't sound that nice but it was a short nickname and it would be cool to have a nickname in fact the more I thought about it the more I liked it.
"I mean if you don't like it there are others like little s, no wait that one sounds dirty but I'm sure I can think of more or we can think of one together it's just that I need something to call you other than your hero name if we want to get out of here." He blurted out seeming to have taken my silence for me not liking his nickname.
I quickly stopped his rambling by putting a hand on his shoulder and looking down to his eyes and smiling trying to reassure him it was a good name.
"Sj is lovely" I said as I watched his face relieve itself of its tension.
"Good, that's great then" he smiled as he looked into my eyes.
"Uhm where is Kr then" he said after I took my hand off his body and went to sit in one of the chairs in the TV area.
Just as I pointed Kidflash I mean wally towards where superboy's room was I saw the door open and my little brother coming out.
"Hay superboy! Good to see you" said wally as he went over to where my brother stood before raising his hand above his head and holding it there for a few seconds before lowering it.
"Cmon why'd you leave me hanging?" He asked as superboy just looked blankly at him, before turning to face me, i also didn't quite get what wally had been doing so just shrugged.
"High five, it was meant to be a high five" he muttered as he looked between us.
"Anyway, hi superboy how'd you like a nickname?" He said cheerfully again.
"It's fine" he said looking around the room, I noticed he had changed his trousers which looked much more normal than his shiny solar suit sometime after his medical but I still couldn't tell if he'd showered.
I sniffed the air and detected a faint scent of sweat so I had to guess not, it wasn't too bad but if this was something as a big sister I had to teach her little brother than I wasn't looking forward to it.
"Why are you here?" Superboy asked wally getting right to the chase.
"When I heard the two kriptonite kids would be staying here all day I thought that just wouldn't do especially for one as beautiful as you" he said giving me a wink " so I've come to take you out for a day on the town"
"Oh also by the way I'm wally nice to..."
"I heard you earlier" said superboy cutting him off.
"Ahh right super hearing" said wally tapping his ears as he did so. "Cool, just glad that it didn't give you massive ears" he said giving himself pointy ears from his fingers which got a chuckle out of me.
"Okay let's get this show on the road."
The doorway outside was opened easily by wally who strode outside to be quickly followed by superboy who nearly raised a arm to cover his eyes from the glare of the sun.
For me the light outside seemed almost too bright and as I stepped into it I could almost feel my eyes water at the sudden change in light intensity.
"whoa are you okay" asked wally as he saw me covering my eyes with my hands.
"Just bright" I said whilst nodding and slowly trying to peak out from my fingers only to find the light still too bright.
"Here have these" he said passing me a set of sunglasses from somewhere which I quickly put on my face. The light was still to bright but now at least it was manageable as I looked around the alley to see both the boys staring at me.
"First sun" I whispered as I looked up at the bright sky trying to spot the bright ball of gas that was causing my eyes to water, wherever it was it wasn't hanging directly overhead meaning that the sunlight issue wasn't just from it staring me straight in the face.
Great I thought it could be even worse when I see the sun.
"Ahh okay then" said Kidflash looking a little confused about the whole thing before turning to walk down the alley that separated the entrance to the safe house from the Main Street.
It was a beautiful sight that greeted me as I stepped out into the street that we had previously walked down in the night, instead of brick and steel and colour being ideas in the dark they almost shone in the light of day even through the glasses.
The street was cobbled grey with lighter stone sidewalks lined with tall buildings which looked down apon the lower earth with rows of trees stretching high up into the air providing shade for those under the sidewalks.
The green of the trees glistened in the air and brought my attention to their higher branches thinning out as they rose towards the beautiful blue sky with only trailing whisks of clouds breaking up the heavens.
If the sky's weren't enough to make me feel for the sights in front of me then the earth was as whilst I had been standing there a dozen brightly coloured cars had shifted up and down the road breezing past us and taking within them men and women of every race and colour whilst along the sides of the roads people bustled up and down the street.
The people were dressed in every colour I could have imagined in the darkness of Cadmus and even more beside such as orange as deep as paint and reds as bright as air. The people which drifted about in bright colours and some in more stern dress were more numerous then I had ever been able to imagine from when I had thought of the world there must be dozens within my sight at least some hurrying away and others still.
By the time I draw myself back to looking at wally and away from the view before me I had started to feel my eyes wet, not from the sun this time and I also noticed that superboy for all his harsh exterior was also staring at the people around us as they walked past him.
It was actually wally that in the end wih a weird look on his face drew us onwards by grabbing both my arm and the attention of superboy's and near dragging us down the road from where we had stood.
"Um I don't know what happened there but the both of you need not to freak out like that again people were starting to look at you" he said as he pulled us into a restaurant off the side of the street taking us towards the back.
"Look you both stay here and I'll order you some food" he said as he took off towards a register.
"Lots of people" I said as I looked across the cheap plastic red and white chequered table to where superboy sat with a thoughtful look on his face. I felt I needed to know if he had reacted like me to the people.
He looked up at me as if he hadn't been expecting me to talk to him before slowly nodding his head before going back to thinking.
"More than I had ever seen" I said my voice again starting to feel strained as I tried to continue the one sided conversation.
He looks back up at me slightly confused at what I seem to be saying before nodding and saying " yeah there were a lot of people, so what?"
"It's better out here" I said trying to see if he felt the same, I mean from how he had been acting earlier I had to assume that he felt the same as me.
He stares at me after that for a few seconds before giving me the first smile I've seen off his face since I met him, it's a pleasant smile and makes him look younger more like a kid.
"Yeah it's better up here" he said after a while.
We sat here for a while after that, I dint say anything more after that waiting to see if he wanted to talk to me but before he did if he ever would have wally came back with a tray with three large sodas on it.
"Here you go" he said putting mine In front of me and sitting next to me." I figured you wouldn't have tried any of these in the lab so I got you the classic, a coke"
It only take me a second from when he puts down the cup for me to have it between my hands and approaching my mouth, I haven't had a drink in so long!
As the first slurp of delicious liquid goes down my throat I realise I'm drinking to slowly and tear off the lid and drown the rest in a only a few seconds.
I don't think I'd ever drunk anything before and as I finish the first cup I remember just what it is to be thirsty and boy am I thirsty.
In what is not my proudest moment I grab wally's drink and down his before finishing superboy's.
By the time I'm in control again I've finished both of the drinks and realise both of the boys are staring at me with slightly shocked faces.
"Sorry" I say, hey I can talk! And it no longer hurts my throat!
"I can speak" I say in what is possibly the most obvious statement ever.
"Uh yes we already knew that" says wally looking at me weirdly.
"Not like that, my throat no longer hurts! It was so dry and didn't even notice!" I explain trying to impress on him how important the drink was to me. " is there more?"
"Uh sure and congrats on being able to speak again." Says wally looking happy now that's it's been explained what happened, he quickly fills up the sodas and returns to the table where I manage to slowly slurp on one.
Superboy I notice gives his drink a funny look before sipping on his straw, whilst he finishes his quickly he's only drinking like he's thirsty rather than how I did.
"I had never drunk anything before" I say quietly trying to explain what had happened "I didn't even know what thirsty was until I had some of that drink"
"It's okay, who knows how long you'd been in that orb?" says wally understandingly, even superboy nods his head in agreement as he slurps on the dregs of his cup.
"Wait does that mean you've never eaten before as well?" Says wally with a suddenly worried look on his face " I'm gonna order another three pizzas."
