Supergirl Z: The Growth and Maturation of a Superhero

Disclaimer: "My name is Piccolo and I'm here to tell you that superspeeder doesn't own us or the characters of Supergirl. Please support the official release"(grumbles quietly) "I have to find out what the deal with that Martian is. Why did she build a nest on Earth?….…."

ME: So sorry to barge in here but I would just like to inform you guys that the next 2 chapters are a bit OOC(out of character). Some of it will occur exactly as it's portrayed but they are also a lot of things I want to write that didn't happen so please don't get mad ok? Onwards!

Me:The God of destruction tournament is the same as in the manga-and as of this Sunday the anime too!-Champa wants the Earth of Universe 7 and the Super Dragon Balls and tells Beerus that if he loses they will switch places! Of course he will appeal to Trunks' saiyan genes for a good fight, and Kara's curiosity about Kryptonians and Saiyians in other universes(although Trunks too is curious) and appeal to both of their desires to protect U6's Earth so he won't tell them the real purpose of the tournament. Most likely Goku, or Vegeta will tell them and this will lead to even more confusion on Alice's part when she overhears this info from them and she will realize that history has been irreparably changed(particularly when the enemies from a certain sequel show up)! As to when the Arc will take place, that won't happen until after the Season 1 Finale so stay tuned Sage!

Last time on Dragon Girl Z, emotions ran high as Toyman told Pan about Videl being her mother, leading to a conversation which Winn declared his love for her! Meanwhile Kara's suspicions are increased when Trunks lets it slip that he met Goku in the past! And John Jones is scared about turning into Martian Manhunter forever and mentions that there were memories he would like to forget. But what memories are they that he doesn't want to mention? Could it be related to a new person who is not only an anti-alien politician but also could be a member of John's race? What will happen when these two meet, and will the presence of Piccolo and Super-Saiyan Pan increase Kara's questions about Trunks' past? Find out RIGHT NOW ON DRAGON GIRL Z!

Chapter 21 Strangers from the outside(OOOH!) (pt1)

It was a week since the Toyman incident in National City and Winn(and Pan of course!) was still reeling over the confession that the human made to the quarter saiyan even going as far as Pan not going back to visit since "the confession". Of course, it was truly nothing compared to what was about to happen. Kara didn't know why Trunks was being secretive about meeting Goku; at first she doubted his claim, but then talk with Bulma only increased her suspicion. "Yea, Trunks had amazing adventures" she was telling the Kryptonian, "and some of them were not so pleasant to remember like the time he had to train with his father." "Vegeta?" she parroted confused "why?"; the head of Capsule Corps chucked "let's just say that they didn't exactly have the most pleasant of beginnings" then seeing Kara's shock explained "my son had an idealized version of his father, which I am ashamed to admit that I helped caused by making him a hero figure. He was no hero but I also didn't want Trunks to know that. Unfortunately, my son had to learn that the hard way, but eventually they accepted each other and Vegeta even got mad when Cell killed him!" 'Again with all this talk of death, and yet Trunks is alive! And who is Cell?' were the thoughts of Kara Danvers but she decided not to push things any further than they needed to be pushed for now. Instead, she decided to finish something her boss could not: what was that you may ask? Well considering the fact that Kara didn't have the best of relationships with her mother Alura, she didn't want Cat to experience the same thing with her son and began to write an email.

Meanwhile Trunks and Vegeta were training hard in the GR; "what the hell were you thinking brat" Vegeta growled as they punched and kicked away; "your secret act of finding out what Max has done, and Toyman has reared its head!" "I don't know what you're talking about dad*Punch kick* but I do know this: if it concerns Kara's safety then I have to look out for her best interests" Trunks fired back. 'Damn' the prince thought 'the bond between the two is growing by the day' but then unexpectedly smiled and thought 'then again he is my son!' Ending the session early Vegeta asked "what are you doing with your woman today?" "Umm meeting her at the office, mom said that there's someone there that I have to meet" he shrugged in reply; it didn't occur to the hybrid that he was about to step into trouble, but of course Bulma didn't want to alarm him(least he go crazy again like he almost did on Winn). Vegeta nodded and ordered "if the woman said it's important than I believe her brat, get moving!" "All right geez dad don't have cow" he whined in reply but secretly smiled as he knew Vegeta was only looking out for his and Kara's best interest(in his own weird way of course) and took off to Catco.

When Trunks left, Vegeta went to see his wife and asked "alright Bulma what are you hiding?" For her part Bulma was surprised; the only time Vegeta called her by her name was when they were having sex[A/N no really look it up!] or if he was embarrassed and had to save face(*me cough Beerus cough*), or when he told her he loved her. She was about to ask why the change but seeing that her husband had that serious look, Bulma knew that she had to tell the truth and said "I looked into Catco's emails and I found something interesting". "What is so interesting that you have to let the boy barge in? Its bad enough Kakarot's bratty granddaughter is confused over her feelings for Toy-boy Jr.""Really Vegeta? This again?" Bulma asked exasperated but then told him "Kara send a letter by email to Cat's son and from what I'm getting; he's coming to visit Cat today."Listen to what she said" Gohan commented then began to read the letter from Kara out loud;(*Kara's voice over*)"we all make mistakes have regrets from our past things we could go back and change. In my case my biggest regret is not being there for you, I know that my choices may have hurt you in ways I can never understand. But if you're willing I'd like to try and make things right between us. It won't be easy nothing worthwhile ever is, but life is short and when all is said and done there is nothing more important than family all my love mom" (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another Planet").

Vegeta grimaced at the words Kara used then gritted "the hell is she trying to pull?" out loud; "what if Kara is just trying to make things right between Cat and her son? After all she does want what's best for everyone" Gohan questioned doubtfully. "Don't be a fool" Vegeta growled "she's smarter than she looks";"I don't know Vegeta" Bulma replied skeptically "I sense that my son and Kara are about to go through some choppy waters; and it's not just because of Foster.""You're saying that this has to do with the dragon balls and time travel?" Vegeta inquired invariably getting to the heart of the matter; "yes" came the simple reply of Bulma. Vegeta sighed "my son almost gave me hell because I questioned him about telling Kara his meeting with Kakarot; what I mean to say is that the power of their bond is growing and if its strong enough it'll survive whatever this son of Cat is planning for my son's woman". "I hope your right Vegeta; I hope your right" she murmured in response.

Trunks quickly flew over to Catco where he saw Kara in the midst of greeting Adam Foster. "Hey Kara" he said after sneaking in through the door and closing it behind him "who's this". "Oh Trunks" Kara said a bit flustered "this is Adam Foster, Cat's son that I told Pan about?" "Better keep an eye on this one; he's more trouble than Winn" Trunks' saiyan half told him, but he managed to force a smile on his face and say "pleasure to meet you, Trunks Briefs" and shook his hand(although Trunks had to resist the temptation of squeezing it). "The heir of Capsule Corps is a friend of my mom?" Adam asked rhetorically to which the hybrid replied by saying "my mom and your mom are friends; I don't need to explain why now don't I?" Adam grimaced and knew immediately that either Cat or Bulma told him about his past but managed to get out "well I'm on my way to meet Cat right now; it's been what 24 years since I've seen her". "That's the same age as Kara" Trunks gritted out his veins almost popping out; "you can say that yes" Foster replied with a smirk and together they went upstairs to Cat's office.

Kara and Trunks could only watch as the two of them[Cat and Adam] tried to smooth things over but eventually Trunks had to ask "Kara why is he(meaning Adam) here? And don't think I can be fooled I can read your mind" he glared. "You can read minds?" Kara asked skeptically; "a little; I can also communicate telepathically and even create mental fights with myself using mediation; not only does it help my mental barriers but also improves me in the long run" he answered more gently although he hid the main reason from her. Although it was true that he did regularly train his mind, ever since Kara told him that his mental forces had been broken into by an outside source that was stronger than he was led him to double his efforts training it. This led him to Piccolo who graciously decided to train Trunks properly in mental battles even going as far as to teach him mediation so that his mental barriers would be increased; the Namekian also began looking into who had broken into Trunks mind. He looked into Kami's memories but couldn't get any answers(even though he concentrated for weeks to find an answer), so he decided to ask Dende as the current guardian to look into it; unfortunately Dende was at a meeting with fellow guardians of other planets and wouldn't return for another 2 weeks.

For now, Piccolo would have to be content with training Trunks' mental barrier until Dende returned so that they could investigate this fully. He also secretly wanted to meet John and Kara of course, but Trunks kept on holding it off every time it was mentioned in passing during their sessions. Kara of course kept on nagging her boyfriend when they could meet Piccolo but of course he kept on saying "another time" to her infatuation; sighing she asked "is there nothing you can't do Trunks?". "Yea trying to get mom off my back because you're my girlfriend" he joked although the hybrid was tempted to say that he couldn't grant Kara what she really wanted which was to see her beloved Krypton once more. Although the temptation came many times to gather the dragon balls to ask Shenron to transport both of them to a time before Krypton exploded, he knew he couldn't as it would provoke too much questions from General Lane, Maxwell Lord or other hostile figures. "You goof you know your mom just wants what's best" Kara chided then smiled and said "I love you"; he smirked "I know". At Capsule Corps Gohan was looking at the TV suddenly he saw something that caught his eye and phoned Bulma stating "I think you need to look at this".


"Aliens, extra-terrestrials, non-humans, whether they're wearing a red cape or not they are a threat to our country, our freedoms and our lives" the feminine sounding voice boomed; "what kind of crap is she trying to pull" Vegeta asked hotly. "She is Miranda Crane anti-alien senator and foe of Supergirl" Bulma fumed in response as the senator continued. "Starting today we need solutions, we need to know where they live, what they do, and who they eat (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another World"). "Burgh turn that off Gohan" Bulma said but Gohan's eyes remained firm "no Bulma look around" he answered coldly; she did and to her shock, there were pictures of Supergirl, Trunks(as a Super-Saiyan), and even Pan with a 'X' across each of their respective photos as well as signs that said "go back to where you came from". "What's going on" she asked now worried "why is she bringing this up now?" "This woman is obviously breathing anti-alien propaganda crap my son, his woman, and Pan" Vegeta answered for her walking into the room but then noticing a blur running across he ordered "wait stop it there!" "What is it?" Gohan asked; "computer enlarge photo!" he barked; "enlarging" it replied. Viewing the close-up Bulma said "ewwl who is that?" "Not who but what" Vegeta answered rhetorically but then taking a closer look he bugged out "NO THAT's Impossible! They're supposed to be extinct!" he exclaimed stunned.

"They?" Bulma asked "take a listen and look for yourself woman" Vegeta growled as the press conference resumed; "most importantly we need to stop them from landing on our country; if it takes a dome; let's build a dome". At that point Gohan groaned "do people ever learn?" he asked; "apparently not" Bulma answered sighing "I thought what Trunks told us what you did in the past with Chazke Village and that Mr. Bonbonne before the Cell games was bad but this is a new low (Dragon Ball Z episode 170 "A Girl named Lime"). "Humans are known for their stupidity woman; this is nothing new" Vegeta harrumphed although he was still shocked that they were on Earth; 'I have a feeling what they want has something to do with John' the prince thought as the senator finished by saying "It's time to start talking and start acting monsters are coming for your families!" but no sooner did she say that that creatures began to attack. "What the hell are those things?!" Bulma asked; "they are the people who exterminated all of the Martians like John" Vegeta silently but sharply replied. "NO WAY! THEY'RE THE WHITE MARTIANS?!" Gohan yelled; "yes brat!" Vegeta hotly replied; "we have to warn Kara and Trunks!" Bulma frantically cried; "on it" Gohan said but then Vegeta stopped him by saying "wait boy, my son and Trunks may be helping that senator, but we need backup!"

"Who are you suggesting Vegeta? Yourself? Me? your daughter?" Gohan asked the prince; "you know everyone thinks the both of us are dead, and as much progress that your daughter has made these last few weeks under the tutelage of John and Alex you know she's not ready!" As much as Vegeta was proud of Bulla's progress, he knew that she wasn't ready; at the same time he also hated the fact that he and Gohan still had to lay low because of the suspicion of the military. Yet he knew of one being that could help and stated "I'm not suggesting either, I want your daughter to fight those freaks" and seeing that Gohan was about to protest he added "I also am very suspicious of the woman; I think that she's one of them and you know damn well who can help us Gohan!"

Gohan knew immediately "Piccolo" he answered "you want him to fight her if she is really one of them?" Bulma asked surprised. "The Namek would force this woman to use the full extend of her powers, and I get the feeling that the Green Martian has too many bad memories from his past to want to fight them himself. In a way, it'll be like Kakarot's fight against Frieza on Namek" he sagely stated. "I get it" Gohan realized; "you're saying that since there's more to John's story like Piccolo, Pan would be perfect because in the mind of the White Martian who worse to hand them defeat than 2 saiyans and a kryptonian and you want her to experience the same rage dad felt by the pain of losing the Namekians and you?" "Precisely; the woman gets Pan, you get my son, and my son gets the Namek" Vegeta answered and ended the conversation with Gohan saying to Bulma "you get Pan I'll call Trunks" to which she said "will do!" At that moment, Trunks was helping Kara with her work while Cat and Adam tried to smooth out their differences; "I don't know what good it'll do Kara" he admitted shaking her head then whispered "they remind me of how dad and I used to get along". Kara was about to ask him to expand on what he meant when her watch emitted a signal and Kara began to run out.

"Whoa where you going Kara?" the hybrid asked a bit surprised by Kara suddenly getting up and got his answer when the phone rang; it was Gohan. "Trunks, they're aliens downtown by city hall and they got a politician" he frantically said; although he wanted to warn Trunks about the possibility of the politician being a Martian he knew Kara(and John) would soon explain things so he didn't worry. For his part Trunks immediately hardened himself and said "don't worry; Kara and I will show them" and after powering himself up to Super chased after Kara. "Mind telling me what's going on Kara?" he asked the Super-Hero; "Miranda Crane is in town" she responded. "Who's Miranda Crane?" the confused hybrid inquired; "well according to Cat she is a lightning rod for bigots, hippies, and aliens and yes that is the order in which she detests them (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another Planet") she stated repeating what she had heard at the conference of her boss.

"Guess that means she doesn't like me much either huh" Trunks chuckled but got serious again and asked her "Gohan says that there's some something going on downtown do you know who's going to be there?" "Actually…James volunteered himself as a volunteer" Kara sheepishly admitted; "really why?" Trunks asked curiously; "he felt…like he had no purpose in Cat's office…your mom was talking about it after well you know. Anyway, he feels empowered whenever he's behind a camera doing something" she explained to her boyfriend. Trunks nodded "I can understand where he's coming from actually before I met you, I kind of felt similar. Sure I trained with my father, and Pan but I wanted to experience the same thing Gohan did when he saved the world from Cell. It's a burden I know, but it's the greatest feeling in the world when someone looks you in the eye and tells you that you are their hero" and flew off with Kara to save human life.

Kara again couldn't help but be a bit confused by it as well 'how did Gohan save the world if I don't even know how the androids were taken care of? And how did Gohan save the world when Pan said that he died? So many questions and so few answers' she thought as they descended onto the battlefield. "It's Supergirl!" a person exclaimed (Supergirl)episode 11 "Strangers from Another Planet"); "and the Gold Fighter!" someone exclaimed as they appeared. " Careful Are you ok?" Supergirl asked her after which Trunks demanded "where did it go?" to the senator. "I don't know, it was just here" the senator replied in a shaky tone. "Supergirl; Gold Fighter do you have a visual? Is it down there" Alex asked through Supergirl's microphone; "no" she answered with Trunks adding "whatever it is its gone" (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another Planet")" Once they took the senator to Hank, Trunks noticed the concerned face of Alex and asked "is something wrong"? "Hank" she replied shakily; "he saw the alien and froze up". "What why?" Supergirl asked confused; "I don't know but I think from his expression(and I could be wrong) but I think he had firsthand experience with whatever that thing was" Alex responded.

Trunks face was etched in concern 'who are they, what do they want, and why attack a senator?' he thought but it was broken by Kara who joked "zeni for your thoughts?" "Zeni?" Alex sweat dropped; "it's their version of money don't ask" Kara embarrassingly answered; Trunks however wasn't in the mood for laughter and stated "I'll call mom and see what she knows" and pulling out his phone he dialed. Bulma answered and grimly told Trunks the news that the species they fought were from John's planet(even though she wasn't specific lest she get her son mad). Trunks blood boiled in rage at the species that destroyed John's kind "I'll do it" he callously responded and hung up; seeing the anger in Trunks eyes Kara inquired "what happened?" "That thing; it came from John's planet" the demi-saiyan seethed in rage.

"That could explain why John froze but we won't know until we get Miranda back to headquarters and clear out the area" Alex diplomatically stated but Kara couldn't help but ask "what are you going to do?" "I'm going to get help from a Namekian you wanted to meet" he replied teasing her despite his anger and flew off to the lookout. "Mind telling me what he meant?" Alex asked grilling her sister "he's talking about Piccolo" Kara replied with a sigh. "WAIT YOUR TELLING ME THAT THIS GUY IS ANOTHER ALIEN?" Alex shouted shocked; "yes and he's a good guy; he and John have a lot in common Alex but I think the best way for you to find out is to meet him yourself." "A Martian, a Saiyan and now a Namekian good grief!" Alex exasperatingly groaned "all we need is Pan and Bulla to transform into super-saiyans and we have the whole nine yards of crazy" and despite the seriousness of the situation, Kara couldn't help but snicker at her sister's attempts to lighten up the situation.

Trunks immediately found Piccolo "are you back for more training or is this about that mysterious figure that took over your mind, because I already told you that Dende is the only person who can tell you" the namekian sternly stated. Trunks had to chuckle, despite the somewhat grouchy nature of the Namekian, Piccolo was a good friend, and a valuable ally in situations such as the Earth was facing right now. "Actually" he responded; "it's about John"; "him again? Your mom, your sister, or Pan are going on about this John Jones almost as much as they talk about Kara" he grumbled to the hybrid. "I'm serious Piccolo, my father told me that the species that destroyed his own are dead, but apparently he was mistaken" Trunks growled; Piccolo saw that the son of Vegeta was not kidding and asked "are you saying that there's one of these so called 'White Martians' on Earth?"

"My mom and Gohan suspects that there are more than one out there and they also told me that these White Martians are building some sort of nest or something". "They're planning to reproduce and conquer the Earth" Piccolo murmured clearly disgusted; "not only that but there's also that anti-alien woman that was speaking today; Dad suspects that she may be one of them" said Trunks. "This is clearly serious Trunks what's the plan?" the Namekian warrior asked; "well Dad wants you to see if this Miranda is really a white martian; you are then to battle her(but don't kill her)" the Saiyan stated clenching his knuckles in anger. "Who is to battle her if I let her live; even if she is one of them she will only return to finish what she started" Piccolo wisely pointed out. "That's why Pan is to battle her" Trunks smirked; "Pan?" Piccolo asked confused. "Dad feels that she will fight this battle the same way Goku fought Frieza on Namek" he explained; "I get it" Piccolo interrupted "he wants her to feel the same anger her old man felt when Frieza destroyed the Namekians, and killed Vegeta right?"

"Exactly" the hybrid answered back; "after you find out about her, report back to DEO headquarters and we can plan our next move" Trunks sternly ordered feeling just like his father. "You do know that my appearance will shock Alex because she would think that I am dead correct?" Piccolo asked looking at Trunks critically; "most likely Kara or John will be more surprised than Alex would be; John especially considering that you and him look the same" Trunks joked to the Namekian; "I advise you to be careful with your words Trunks, from what your mother has told me, you haven't told your girlfriend or her friends about the Dragon Balls, nor have you said anything about your time traveling adventures" the Ex-Guardian cautioned Trunks; "I know but I change the topic, if anything these villains are helping me keep my secret intact, so in a weird way I have to thank them for interfering before Kara can ask any more questions" he stated looking away from Piccolo. "Look kid, if you want to tell her about your secrets then fine, just don't let her find out first like what happened with Astra" Piccolo advised; "since when have you been interested in romance? I thought you called it a waste of time" Trunks bluntly asked. "I don't but interacting with humans, and being the mentor of the guardian of the Earth you can say I'm having a baptism by fire in that department" he joked but then added "if that Miranda makes a move, then I'll make my move because I'll be able to sense her energy whether alien or not". "Thanks Piccolo" Trunks gratefully said and descended back down to Earth.


Back at Capsule Corps Bulla came in after a hard day's work of training ready to relax; Vegeta saw his daughter and decided to ask her about the mysterious son of Cat Grant. "Bulla" he said "yea dad what's up?" "Your mother and Gohan just intercepted an email from Kara to Cat's son and I was wondering if anything came of that?" "Oh yea" she responded flipping her hair "Alex and Kara met her before you and mom send my brother off to check on her why is anything wrong?" "You may say that" the prince said "what did the sister of Trunks' woman observe"; Bulla scrunched in concentration before replying "well according to Alex, she and Kara met Foster in the same coffee shop where mom and Pan met Lucy Lane." "What did they say?" Vegeta inquired; "well Adam said he was sorry that Kara had to work for her and if the rumors of Cat breathing fire and eating babies are true" Bra fumed "and guess what?" "What?" Vegeta asked; "well according to Alex, Kara said that she's tough but amazing not only at her job but as a person and that she's pretty badass" (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another Planet").

Vegeta guffled "I never expected a kryptonian to have such bad language" to his daughter to which Bulla giggled and replied "well when her boyfriend and father who are saiyan you can said its par for the course". "Touché" Vegeta responded getting back to his serious demeanor once more and then asked "did Alex see a spark between the two of them?" "Well I could tell from Alex's body language that they're might've been a spark I hope I'm wrong though" Bra answered in a worried tone. Vegeta just gave Bulla a nod of his head "that will be all Bulla, you are free for the rest of the day". "Does that mean I don't have to train with you" asked Bra excitedly; "I have to discuss something with your mother so yes" the prince answered soberly. Bra however was too happy to care and after hugging her father(Vegeta was embarrassed about that of course) she ran off to her room to relax.

Vegeta then decided to confide the conversation to Bulma and Gohan "I was right" Bulma said after Vegeta related his story "Adam's arrival means nothing but trouble for Trunks and Gohan". "What do we do?" Gohan inquired; "for now nothing" Vegeta bluntly responded then added "but if it gets more serious you may have to visit the Namekian". "Piccolo why him" Bulma asked; "we have to ask the Namek for help" Vegeta vaguely responded. Gohan realized what Vegeta was getting at "you're saying if they get serious like a kiss, you want Piccolo to wipe her memory clean correct?" he asked the prince; "yes" he muttered. "That's pretty extreme Vegeta" Bulma gasped amazed that he cared for her son's relationship that much; "look woman" Vegeta growled "if my son finds out his girl cheated then the rules of the bond will dictate that he kills his rival as an act of revenge and the last thing we need is the DEO to become our enemy".

"For once I agree Bulma" Gohan said seeing Bulma was about to protest "Trunks has worked hard for Alex and John to even gain our trust in the first place; let's not break it by an act of retribution for something a rival may do"; Bulma knew that the best way is to warn Trunks of Adam's hidden agenda with Kara but still she didn't want to be faced with an angry hybrid. She did once years ago but that was because Trunks was battling himself in the form of Zolts. Apparently these Zolts was inside of Trunks and the only way for Trunks to beat it was to kill it; that's the true reason why he was reluctant for Pan to tag along with him when Gohan asked him to help his daughter face her nightmares and also explained for the first 6 months of their training, Trunks was harsh on the quarter-saiyan. There were times Trunks was himself but others where the evil of the Zolts came out, and during one of these possessions he attacked Pan with the devastating Heat Dome attack, and it was the fear and helpless that propelled Pan to transform into a Super in the first place.

Seeing that Trunks wasn't himself, Pan hid the fact that she transformed until Trunks finally killed the Zolt within himself. Even though the Zolt was gone, there was still a small part of it that lay dormant always ready in case Trunks snapped again. When Pan told Gohan and Vegeta her experience with Trunks, Vegeta told Gohan(and Pan) to keep an eye on Trunks in case the Zolt within him should ever come back. This was the real reason Gohan was worried what would happen if Trunks should ever lose himself again to his anger. "Still" Bulma said breaking out of her thoughts; "I would like to know for certain what's going on"; "well" Gohan replied slowly; "Trunks told me that Kara has made a dinner reservation with Kat and her son". That gave Bulma an idea and she gave him and Vegeta a dangerous grin; noting it Vegeta asked "what is it your thinking woman"? "I think" she responded with a smirk "that me and Bulla go and break up this dinner party". Gohan sweat-dropped 'this will not be good' he thought to himself as Bulma got Bra and headed out to the restaurant.

Trunks headed back to the battlefield "the plan's in place is John OK?" he asked Kara; "no John looks really shaken up" the hero replied sadly. "My dad suspects that John had a bad experience with the White Martians, and by the looks on his face, I have to agree with him". Kara just nodded as Alex asked John "what was that thing?" after they cleared out the area. "A creature that doesn't leave any survivors" Hank soberly replied 'Dad was right' Trunks thought to himself; 'it was a White Martian!' "What did it do to you?" Alex asked again; "nothing I'm fine" he insisted. "You're not" Alex protested "you froze" (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from another Planet") and despite Hank's insistence that they transport Crane back to HQ, Kara and Trunks both slowly came to the realization that Vegeta's theory about Hank having a bad experience with the White Martians was also correct.


The situation wasn't helped at all by Crane when they got back to the DEO; "I'll tell you what happened" she lectured all three of them "you people screwed up royally and I will not be kept here". Hank was not in the best of moods and added "madam senator, I assure you it's for your protection. I know your friend Sam Lane talks a lot of crap about the DEO but we're here to help." The only reason you are here in the first place is because that Creature attacked you and Hank is worried that whatever it is will return so if I were you I watch my mouth" Trunks growled to her irritably as he also wasn't in the best of moods. "The general told me that for all your big talk about monitoring aliens you're the first one to let them through the front door." Kara just chuckled and sarcastically replied "I guess you forgot the part where I saved your ass" to which she replied by saying "for all I know you staged that little stunt it's just like an alien"."Excuse me?" the hero of National City asked sharply her eyes briefly flashing red; "you think that what I did was a DAMN STUNT" meanwhile Trunks was struggling to contain his rage. 'This senator is no better' his saiyan mind thought 'than Hercule Satan when he made the excuse that flying and shooting beams out of your hands was just a bunch of tricks pathetic'. "You're all the same" Crane snarled; "disgusting infests that come crawling from your own diseased backwater planets looking to suck our resources for yourselves! (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from another Planet)"

"That's the same thing Frieza said about Saiyans madam senator" Trunks angrily snarled his eyes flashing teal but before he could act on his anger the quick thinking Alex put a needle in her arm; "sedative" she said "you're welcome". John tried to defuse the situation by saying "my team and I are currently tracking your attacker, we'll keep you updated"; "I told you, I'm not staying here" she protested. "Madam senator" John said commandingly (which somewhat surprised Trunks) as long as it's out here you're in here enjoy your stay at the DEO(Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from another Planet")" and walked out. "What do you think?" Alex asked the demi-saiyan. "I think" he responded "he's hiding something" and couldn't help but think to himself that Vegeta was right; 'I wish Pan was here; if she heard this she would be pissed' he thought to himself as they walked into the back room to confront John.

Meanwhile Bulma had got the ship(with Bulla) and got off to meet Cat Grant and Adam in National City; "hello Cat" she said "are you busy?" "Bulma?!" the mogul asked surprised; "what are you doing here?" "Well my son met Adam today with Kara so I thought that me and my daughter come and meet him for ourselves" the scientist explained not wanting to say anything about Kara's email. "Of course" she flushed "uh Adam, this is my business partner and friend Bulma and?" "Bulla I'm her daughter" the demi-saiyan said greeting Adam. "I heard about you Ms. Briefs, you have quite a reputation at the Daily Planet" Adam said maintaining his friendly demeanor. In truth he knew more about Bulma that his mother because he got stories leaked out about how Trunks had defeated the androids, the disappearance of Ginger Town thanks to Cell, and most importantly, the events relating to the appearance of both Shenron and Porunga with the dragon balls and Trunks' time machine.

"I hope Cat here has been saying good things about me" Bulma said to Adam; "no more than Kara has been telling me about Cat" he replied back. "This guy has a lot of wit" Bra murmured to herself; "better keep an eye on him" but then she asked "so..what have you two been talking about?" "She's been telling me about Bill Gates and about Cornell(Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another Planet")" he replied. "Cornell that's pretty prestigious university but it's not as good as Super university" Bulla snorted bragging about Gohan's university;"yes I heard, Son Gohan runs a pretty tight ship over there"; Bulma was irritated by the small talk and asked "what about that letter?" to Cat. "Yea" Adam agreed; "did you even write that letter" "yes" she hesitantly replied. 'Liar you so did not' Bulma thought as Adam mused "I thought that after reading what you wrote, that you wanted things to be different, you're not even trying". "What do you want me to say?" Cat exasperatingly asked; "I guess I came here to say that you're sorry" he sighed giving an explanation. Bulma gave her a look of uncertainty at what Grant would say(she expected things to get it out of hand) but to her surprise she said "I am sorry, I wanted to be there but you have to understand that I wouldn't have been a good mom; I wasn't ready". "I get it" Adam said; "It's about you, it's always been about you thanks for dinner Cat (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another World") and walked out.

"Wow" Bulla said in response shaking her head "no offense to you Cat but your son does have a point; you're a female version of dad". "Bulla" Bulma said in response correcting Bulla that Cat was a female Vegeta; "you have to understand where Adam is coming from, I mean this is the first time they met in 24 years for Dende's sake!" "No Bulma your daughter's right" Cat whispered with a sad shake of her head; "I don't blame him for being a jerk; it has been always been about me and that hasn't changed". "Still" Bulma sighed trying once again to make Cat see reason "your son has to understand that you are trying to make things right with him";"that doesn't mean that Kara has the right to interfere with what I do with him" she raged (Supergirl Episode 11 "Strangers from Another World")" and stormed out herself back to the office. "Something tells me that when Kara finds out she'll blame my brother" Bulla sweat-dropped to her mother; "I know and now the test of their bond is about to begin" her mother murmured as they headed back to Capsule Corps.


Far across the city away from Cat's fiasco with Adam, Bulma, and Bulla, James had called Kara and Trunks in to look at the pictures he took at the anti-alien rally. "James these pictures are amazing" Kara said to him; "I have to agree with Kara on that one, you're a true pro" said Trunks adding to Kara's complement with one of his own. "Thank you" the photographer flushed replying to the praise; "near death experiences do make me shutter happy so..do you see anything"; "no nothing out of the ordinary, I mean other than a monster that's a member of John's species" Kara replied jokingly "looks can be deceiving Kara" Trunks cryptically stated not wanting to tell her that he knew what James was about to say. "He's right, take a look at this" James said(picking up on Trunks' suspicions) directing them to his computer(after he texted Lucy saying he was working late) "What is that a flare or a glare?" Kara asked miffed; "well I thought so too until[applies a filter] "look at that" "Did her eyes glow like that in every picture?" Trunks asked concerned; "no just the ones after Supergirl saved her" James answered. (Supergirl episode 11 "Strangers from Another World") 'Damn it Dad's right' he said looking at her eyes; it was apparent to him that this girl was a Martian and he said "I have to make a phone call and make a visit". "Go ahead" Kara sighed and Trunks went into the house; "something going on between the two of you that you like to tell me?" James asked; "no he's just worried about Hank" Kara lied to James.

He shrugged his head as Trunks got on the phone; "Gohan" he growled; "what's up?" "Vegeta's right, that senator is one of them" the hybrid replied "we need Pan now". "I already briefed her when do you want her to leave?" he asked seriously; "5 minutes, I have to inform Piccolo first" came the short reply; Gohan just nodded his head and said "will do" and hung up. Trunks flew up to the lookout and cursed "damn it dad's right Piccolo!" "So the girl is one of them" the Namekian calmly asked; "she is and I have a feeling that she wants John's blood" the saiyan growled. "I'll start heading to HQ now, did you inform Pan?" "I did"; "good" the namekian replied and began to fly to the DEO. "I wish we had Senzu beans right now, I sense that we're about to enter an ugly battle that will determine John's fate" Trunks whispered to the wind then asked himself "but why is John afraid? Dad says the White Martians exterminated his race, but he gets the feeling that it's more that which can explain why John froze. Guess the only way to find out is to IT back to the DEO and ask him with Kara" and putting his fingers to his eyes did IT back into a situation that John(and Pan as well) would soon have to make a choice. Either kill the woman or let her live; but either way, Trunks was determined to find out the reason behind the Martian tragedy…TBC
