Kara determinedly walked out to the front of the drive of the Kent's farm and stopped to take in the cornfields that surrounded her. Is this all humans do? Grow disgusting plants? She focused her hearing to locate the nearest town so that she could begin her search for the young gentleman in the car. She turned left and sped off, running a couple of miles in a few milliseconds before arriving at the centre of Smallville. Not much had changed since Clark had endured his high school days, being a slow-moving town that it is, and The Maiden of Might was attracted to a place named "The Talon."
It reminded her of some of the old info-bits she had seen of Earth back on Krypton. She remembered that humans supposedly went to these places to watch portals which depicted lands of a fantastical nature. People paid to watch other people fall in love, other people die and animals talk and do stupid things. Human's imaginations fascinated Kara and so she decided that this would be her first place to go.
The blonde pushed her way through the door, careful not to punch straight through the glass. Everything is so fragile on this planet. Kara stopped still as soon as she took a look around at the place. It was still the coffee shop that Lana had lovingly cared for when she was younger. It had grown into the high school hangout in Smallville and was currently full of students. Some of the furniture was ragged and beaten and there were the odd cracks in the walls but it still had the same warm atmosphere that it had possessed a decade earlier. It was not what Kara expected to find at all.
What is this place? A few of the jocks turned and faced the Kryptonian, taking in her curves which were on show very clearly as a result of the traditional clothes she wore. Ignoring them, Kara walked further into the Talon and walked up to the serving counter. "Have you got anything to eat?" She asked the adolescent server sweetly.
He blushed, obviously not used to such beauty giving him any attention. "Err. Yeah. Sure. We, err, have a large range of cakes and other snacks. We also do sandwiches and paninis," he stuttered.
Why is he so nervous? "Great, I'll take all those round things there and five paneeenis?" She pointed at the clear glass, indicating towards a plateful of cookies.
"Certainly," managed the lad, slightly taken aback by her order. He collected all of the cookies and out them in a bag before putting on five paninis in the toaster. He went over to the cash register and added up the total before announcing it to the blonde. "How are you going to pay for this? Card or cash?"
Before answering, Kara spun round to she who had just placed a hand on her backside. A sleazy jock leaned over and grinned before looking at the server. "Where have you been hiding this beauty, Brian?"
"Leave her alone, Chase. She doesn't want your greasy fingers all over her," Brian retorted.
"No, it's Ok Brian," Kara smiled looking back over her shoulder. "It's always nice for someone to introduce themselves to the new girl." The blonde looked the jock straight in the eyes, giving him a seductive look. Chase's mouth dropped open as he made his way forward towards her. Kara let him get in close, kissing him gently on the cheek before leaning up to his height. "It really takes a lot of balls," she whispered in his ear before flicking him in the crotch. Chase cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground before rolling about in agony. "Wow, all that from a little poke to the crotch," Kara joked, bending over and plucking the jock's wallet from his pocket. "I thought they grew you country boys on tougher stuff," Kara laughed as he got up and waddled out of the coffee shop, the rest of the crowd jeering. She turned back to Brian, who had a massive grin on his face. "Here, take all this and keep the change," she beamed, trading a fistful of notes for her order. Brian made no arguments as he accepted over a hundred dollars and put it in the cash register. "Give this back to him when he crawls back," Kara said, putting the wallet into the tip jar.
"Sure thing," Brian replied gaining confidence. "Can I do anything else for you?"
"Yes, actually. What do you know about the car crash that occurred last night?" Asked Kara, taking out a panini out of the bag that Brian had given her and inspecting it.
"Yeah, the one besides Miller's field?" Brian said, ignoring the queue of customers building up behind the blonde.
"Yes, from last night," continued The Maiden of Might, taking a bite of the sandwich. Her face exploded into ecstacy as her taste buds rang with flavour. "By The Book of Rao, this is incredible. You deserve great critical acclaim for this invention Brian!" She exclaimed.
Brian burst out laughing at her enthusiasm for a sandwich. This girl's a little odd... "Thank you?" He managed, his voice peaking towards the end. "The crash was weird. the car was found this morning with no driver or passengers inside and there was a large crater next to it, also empty. Although to be honest, by Smallville's standards, this is faily normal," the server summed up.
"Oh, weird. So there was no-one in the car? No one injured?" Kara asked between mouthfuls.
"Nope. Personally, I think Superman was involved. I mean, who could clear up so quickly and leave no trace? Did you see what he did in Metropolis?" Brian hypothesised, astonished by Kara's rapid eating- for she was already on her second panini.
"Maybe," Kara munched, "If there were any people in the car and they got hurt in the crash, where would they go?"
"The hospital probably, considering the wreck that was left of the car."
"What's a hospital?" Kara asked, stumped. She was stunned by the response she received, for the whole coffee shop seemed to burst out laughing because they had been unashamedly been eavesdropping the entire exchange.
"You're not from around here are you?" Brian joked. Oh you have no idea. "It's where you treat sick people. Surely you've seen one or been to one?"
"Of course. Sorry I miss-heard you the first time," Kara lied. "Anyway, thanks for everything. I've got to go, I'll see you again sometime."
"No worries," Brian replied,,watching the Blonde start to leave the coffee shop. "Can I have you number?" He called out after her. But her was too late, the Maiden of Might had already left.

Author's Note: Thanks for reading and reviewing! Particular shout out to Ica013 for all the reviews and recommendations. My revision has suffered quiet a bit haha!
Anyway, I felt as though we needed a chapter that was slightly lighter considering Victor's predicament in the post before. So please tell me if it was alright or not as I had several second thoughts about it. Next I think Clark will come head to head with Lex at the Press Conference or maybe Chloe interviews Oliver. I haven't decided yet! Thanks again for reading and I am very grateful to anyone that reviewed too. Cheers!
