The tiny gem on Kara's bracelet began to glow, emitting a high pitch beeping sound. Kal-El suggested that the two of them should separate to look for the Omegahedron, which would give them a better chance at locating it. "If you happen to find the power source before I do," stated Superman, "then don't hesitate to immediately return it to Argo." Supergirl nodded as she watched him fly off ahead of her. The girl of steel smiled, feeling more than proud to have met her long lost cousin. This world be a complete disaster without him.
Supergirl flew high over the city of Chicago, scanning buildings and homes with her Super X-Ray vision. Finding nothing, she decided to land directly in the center of Midvale. Kara strolled down the middle of an abandoned street, admiring the strange looking landscape, building structures, and automobiles. The bracelet on her wrist was glowing stronger now, an indication to Kara that the Omegahedron was indeed somewhere closeby. All of a sudden the glowing ceased, and Kara stopped moving. Again, she scanned a few buildings, only to find nothing of great importance. She turned around, preparing to jump back into the sky when a loud horn sounded behind her, somewhat startling the girl. She turned to face the noise, becoming bathed in bright lights.
"What sort of creature is this?" Supergirl thought. Whatever it was, it was gigantic, with two round bright bulbs that looked like eyes, and a large grill in the center, as if it were an immense mouth. The thing was moving closer to her, but stopped about fifteen feet away. As Supergirl watched, the lights suddenly died and two humanoid beings emerged from both sides of the interesting looking machine. Both were male, dressed in what appeared to be civilian clothing. They were truck drivers. One of them, who was a bit more pudgy than the other, spoke. "Now this I like."
Supergirl stood before the men, sizing them up, trying to determine whether or not they were a threat to her. She decided they were not and smiled, speaking in her most pleasant sounding voice. "Hello." The pudgy man, who wore a jacket, t-shirt and wrinkled baseball cap, glared at the blonde haired girl hungrily. The other man, more lanky and frail than his partner, returned the greeting. "Well, hello to you sugar dumpling." Kara smiled even greater now, happy that she was getting acquainted with Earth humans. "I was wondering, do you think you can tell me exactly where I am?" The men looked at one another with fiendish eyes. "We sure got ourselves a fresh one here. What do they call this place, Eddie? Lovers Lane, isn't it?" Eddie spoke while chewing loudly on a pink wad of bubblegum. "You got it, Hilly Billy. Lovers Lane."
Still, Supergirl did not feel threatened, only somewhat puzzled. "Oh, well you see what I mean is… this.. city, I suppose. What is it called?" By now, Billy was standing behind Kara, eyeballing her as if she were on display. He reached down and pulled up her cape. "Yo, Ed, ya gotta love the great view from back here. How nice is that?" Supergirl quickly spun around to slap Billy's hand away. "Stop that!" The man backed away, raising both hands in a peaceful gesture. "Heeeey," he said almost drunkenly. Both men couldn't help but notice that the young woman wore a suit very much identical to Superman's. Eddie's curiosity got the best of him. "So are you a good friend of Superman's or something?" Kara turned back to face Eddie. "No. I'm his cousin. I'm here searching for the Omegahedron. It's very critical that I find it and return it back to Argo City, my home." The men obviously were not buying it, but it made no difference to Kara. She was here on a mission, and she would allow nothing to prevent her from carrying it out. Billy stepped forward. "Is that so, cutie?" Once again, Kara turned back to look at the rude man. "Me and my good buddy, Eddie, are on a little mission ourselves , ya know. We're looking for a good ole time. And you have just gladly volunteered to help us on our 'little mission'."
Kara felt more than puzzled now. She became totally confused and started feeling threatened, especially during the moment when Eddie stepped up close behind her, stroking her long blonde hair. Surprised by this, she turned to look at his smiling unshaved face. Kara reached her hand up and touched Eddie by the chin. Not only did she touch him, she lifted him completely off of the ground, by his chin! After she released him, Eddie stumbled back, watching his gum fall to the ground. Billy looked on in amusement. "Well, well! This chick works out. We always love a challenge, baby."
On Argo City, this type of behavior was uncommon, and never tolerated. Strange beings there are, on this planet. "Why are you doing this?" Kara did not want to hurt these men. She was here on a mission of peace. But they left her no choice. Eddie was upset now. "It's just the way we are, honey." He started toward Supergirl. What happened next, could not be explained by either of the men.
Supergirl inhaled and blew out a huge whiff of Super Breath, sending Eddie flying backwards to crash through a wooden fence. That ought to teach him some manners. Billy's mouth dropped open. " This chick is some kind of freak!" Out of his jacket pocket, he produced a switchblade knife, holding it up at Kara. "Babe, I gotta tell ya, that was a really bad idea." Supergirl glared at him as he circled her on the street with the glittering knife. She didn't have time for this, so she focused a red blast of Heat Vision rays at the knife. Billy felt a searing heat touch the skin of his hand, forcing him to suddenly release the blade. He stared at it in shock, as the ruined weapon rested on the ground.
"Ohh okay," Billy said as he attempted to tackle this "super chick" to the ground. "You must really wanna play hardball now. Show me what you got, blondie." He stood in a boxing stance, while Kara stood with her back straight, and hands at her sides. She appeared as calm as ever when Billy swung his fist hard at Supergirl's face. The blow would have knocked any ordinary human to the ground with a bloody nose, but unknown to him, this young female was far from ordinary. The girl didn't even so much as flinch when the fist made contact with her face. However, Billy sank to his knees, cradling his right hand, moaning in complete agony. The trucker felt as if he had just punched a solid wall of brick.
"What in the heck are you?" Billy tried to rise to his feet, attempting to stagger away from the red and blue clad woman. Supergirl responded by turning her back to him. She lifted both of her arms, and jumped into the air, flying away into the starry night. Eddie had seen it also, full of nothing but pure confoundment, but when he shifted his vision back to the ground, he could see his friend lying passed out on the street, apparently having fainted. "Billy? Hey Billy, I think we should, umm, not tell anybody about this. You agree?" But Billy only lay sprawled out in the middle of the street, motionless.
