Knocked out of the sky part 2
It was ridiculously loud.
Screaming and shouting everywhere.
How regular humans could stand the decibel levels astounded Kara on a regular basis, but never the less she continued to rub the smudge on her glasses and sat down at the table of seemingly quite enough people who wouldn't complain of her presence. You could tell from a mile off that she didn't belong here – joking aside this planet, but mainly this fancy school. Her scuffed jeans and white t- shirt stood out with all these children is shirt, ties and blazers.
When Kara's Earth parents had found out about what she did last night they had a discussion about her using her powers, about the flying around the place, using heat vision instead of the microwave, destroying Alex's attempts to beat her with her super speed to the bathroom and of course:
Using her super hearing to spy.
She didn't mind that they had subtly asked her to reserve her powers but what continued to blur in her mind was when could she use her powers?
Kal- El had told her what his father told him, that the world was not ready to witness what he and she could do. He had been on this planet long enough and he had been dubbed as "superman." Kara couldn't imagine being held to that standard of heroism by billions of people. So she followed the Danvers advice… most of the time.
Sighing Kara used all her focus to gently pick up the stainless steel fork and began to eat in the cafeteria of this prestige school. Alex's interview was taking so long, Kara slightly regretted begging Alex to take her with her (in the name of experiencing more Earth culture)
But the loud sound of a crash made Kara whip round including all the humans.
"Where's ya lucky charms for lunch Luthor?" A voice mocked in a heavy Irish accent "did ya leave 'em with your pot of gold?" a loud laughter erupted the group of people.
"Piss off Morgan ya dick." A female voice that Kara instantly recognized. Forgetting about her food (for a change) Kara stormed towards the source of the voice.
"Ey feck off ya dirty pikey." The 'Morgan' boy mocked once more.
"Excuse me," Kara interjected "but this is highly racist and you are not being a very nice person." Kara spoke clearly and strongly to the boy.
The cafeteria went silent. The Morgan boy turned to look at his friends with a hell is this girl on? Look but he just walked up to Kara.
"Who the hell are you? Actually I don't care, but you should get out of my way, I'm kind of in charge round here." Kara couldn't help but scoff.
"I find that hard to believe, you're not even taller than me." Kara mocked. The boy's face grew into a big frown.
"I said get lost!" He shouted as he shoved Kara with his all his might.
Everything went in slow mow, Lena took one step towards swinging for Morgan only for him to stumble back holding his wrist.
Kara didn't even sway. Everyone around them burst out in laughter as they watched Morgan clutch his wrist to his chest, this only seemed to enrage him more. As he let out a roar as he swung for Kara only for Lena to tackle him and land on top and punch him in the face.
Suddenly a loud whistle blew that made Kara cringe as everyone stopped fighting.
"Luthor!"
"Kara!"
Two voices shouted across the silence, both girls turned to look at each other and just went "uh oh"
Kara didn't need x-ray vision to see that Alex was pissed at her, without even communicating Kara and Lena sprinted out the doors. Lena was fast but Kara knew she could go faster. But she liked the idea of this normal ness. Human speed.
But Kara was too busy watching Lena's running that she ignored the street lamp that she ran into … and kept running. Leaving a loud bang behind them as the street lamp contacted the ground, like a big can falling on the motorway.
"You're strong!" Lena puffed out as they turned into an alleyway, "you work out?" Lena joked as she tried to catch her breath.
"Err yeah." Kara lied, letting her back slide against the wall as she sat down next to Lena.
"Yeah you can shove the shite talk, you're one of them. The Kyrptonians." Lena said simply.
"Pffft what?! No! That's ridiculous." Kara argued but those green eyes just pierced through Kara's lies.
"Yeah you are. It's ok I won't tell…I'm sorry." Lena stated "about your planet and all."
Kara was taken back, no one had actually ever given her condolences for her loss ever. They had been so set in helping her move forward, she'd never had a chance to really share her grievances.
"Oh erm, thank you. It has been hard getting used to… everything here."
Lena let out a little laugh "I can imagine, I had a bit of a struggle too. Obviously not as hard as you," the raven haired girl added. "Will you end up like him?" Lena couldn't help but ask.
"Like who?" Lena just pointed up towards the sky.
"I don't' know," Kara said honestly.
"No one would blame you," Lena assured the girl "I mean catching falling girls out of the sky is one thing, but protecting the planet and humans from themselves is like a whole other thing."
"What's your name?" Kara asked looking at this raven haired girl "girl of the skies?" Kara teased, remembering seeing the girl's boots ignite dramatically into her night sky flight.
"Ha-ha very funny. But it's Lena. You?"
"It's classified," Kara said with a smile.
"Ok classified, well I don't know what you're gonna do but I should probably head home and disconnect the phone before anyone gets home."
Kara would have offered to have flown Lena home but a loud "KARA!" down the street obviously signalled that she had other stuff to deal right now.
"Good luck Classified" Lena winked before she ran down the other end of the alleyway.
That wink did something weird to Kara's heart.
