“Lockjaw!” Kamala yelled, clutching the broken leash in horror. Of all the times Medusa’s pet could get distracted by a street cat, it was smack dab in the middle of a lunch rush. Kamala hastened after him, red scarf steaming behind her like a flag in the wind. “Lockjaw! Heel!”

MS. MARVEL AND MONSTER DOG TERRORIZE CENTRAL PARK!!!  

Kamala could already see the Bugle’s caption (and Ammi’s disappointment, all the way back in Jersey City). She winced, picking up the pace. She really had to hit the gym. “Good dog!” She shouted, darting around strollers and shrieking passerby. “Don’t go anywhere, please!”

Absentmindedly taking the longer route to work this time around, Kara was finally getting to the middle of Central Park, but as she continued on her way, the sight of a huge dog and people beginning to panic, caught her vision, and instinctively, she made her way over. “Hey, hey!” The Kryptonian yells, stopping herself in front of the dog when she hears someone yell ‘heel’ a small sigh of relief escaping past her lips as she reaches up carefully and lets him sniff her hand, head tilted slightly. “What are you doing just running around here?” She questions towards the dog with a small laugh.

“I’m not talking to you.” Tatsu said, eyeing her companion for the night with annoyance. “I am speaking with my husband.” 

Putting her hands up, Kara makes a face and nods her head. “Sorry, sorry, that was totally my mistake.”

“Thank you for your concern. Things like these happen to me a lot. It is all good as long as you know how to handle it.” Mera stole a look at the girl. Young, soft and beautiful, she didn’t seem to be the type to get involved. But in this city, you could never judge a book by its cover.

“Of course, and yeah, unfortunately it happens to a lot of people, but hopefully we can all learn to know how to properly handle it.” She muses with a nod of her head, sticking out her hand. “I’m Kara.”

Jessica hadn’t been flying since that last, morose flight with Stark. The one that hadn’t felt nearly as good as she’d hoped. This was different. Her heart leapt into her throat the second they took off, and though she stiffened at the first touch of Kara’s arms around her, once they were in the air, she relaxed. 

God she loved flying. Real flying, flying like this. She had memories of this feeling now, but it never faded, never stopped overwhelming her with how incredible it was. The way it made her feel weightless, even as she clung to Kara. Flying felt like freedom, real freedom, from anything and everything.

When they finally landed, she was careful not to show her disappointment. She was glad to be away from the smoke and the wreckage at least. “You’re good at the landing,” she pointed out, smirking a little. “I can never stick it myself.”

Once she feels Jessica stiffen up in her arms, she almost decides to put her down, but as Kara flew up in the air and she realised that the other had relaxed, she seemed to do so as well, it was easier to just fly out of where they were, but also it was a quicker route.

As she landed on the ground, Kara smiles and gently puts Jessica back down, looking up at the sky where they had just been merely seconds ago. “Thanks! I definitely try and calculate how I should land when I’m carrying someone else, but sometimes, I land a bit too hard for myself at least.” She muses and raises her eyebrows. “It takes some practice, I’m sure you could get the hang of it.”

Erik couldn’t help but let out a laugh at her insistence. “You’re very charming, young lady,” he said, smiling at her. He was once a gentleman, and had not forgotten those skills. “But please, allow me to introduce myself,” he said, bowing before her grandly. “I’m Erik Lehnsherr. I would very much appreciate knowing your name, my dear.” His smile twitched out of amusement – she truly did not know him. “It’s not my power, though that’s considerable. No, my dear, I rely on my conviction.” He glanced out over the street below. “I have much to accomplish, and so many counting on me. I cannot fail, so I will not. It is that simple.”

Instead of the usual smile you would give after having received a compliment, Kara just frowns, eyebrows knitting together even more so. “I can’t say that I try to be.” She muses in what she tries to make a tough tone, but her voice wavers slightly, an eyebrow raising as he bows. “I’d be lying if I said that I have heard of you, and I go by Supergirl when I’m in this suit, my real name is hidden for obvious reasons.” The Kryptonian responds and makes a face. “On your conviction? And I’m assuming then that what you are trying to do is the reason you have a conviction in the first place?” She questions, the reporter side of her seeping through, mainly also because she wanted to know what he was trying to plan to do, and making sure it doesn’t happen. “So many counting on you? What? Have you got followers of some sort? I cannot let you do this, therefore, I will not let you. It is that simple.” She replies back, twisting his words to fit her own.

Kara’s conversation came rapidly, and Wanda immediately stepped aside to let her in. “Luckily, those are my typical powers,” she mused. “Have you noticed that they’re connected with your emotions?” Those were how hers worked, although she’d never asked fellow telepaths if their powers responded the same way. “Telekinesis requires a lot of focus, but it’s not usually difficult to control.” As she spoke, she took a book off of the shelf and held it in her hands. “Focus on this, and imagine it levitating. That may help, yes?” Telepathy was far more complex, and she imagined easing into it would be the easiest way. “My powers were swapped with the Human Torch.” Although she trusted Johnny, her boyfriend possessing her powers was still a strange and difficult concept to wrap her mind around.

Walking inside as she continues to explain what’s going on, trying her best to be careful and not accidentally break or hurt someone, Kara pauses and nods her head slowly, a sigh of relief at the fact that this was Wanda’s usual powers. “Oh, er, yeah when I’m angry or scared, something flies across the room.” She explains and sits down in a chair, listening to her go on about Telekinesis. “That’s good to hear, I don’t know how long this will last, but I want to still be in control.” She speaks and looks at the book, taking in a deep breath and doing her best to imagine it levitating, but it only moved upwards a couple of inches before slamming itself against the wall, Kara instinctively jumping in the the process. “Oops.” The Kryptonian mumbles and raises her eyebrows. “So, you can light yourself on fire then? That’s gotta be cool.”

Peter grinned a little, though she couldn’t tell. Or maybe she could? She had X-ray vision after all – he was thinking about this too much. “It’s not always a good thing, but what’s that saying? No publicity is bad publicity?” he joked. “Oh, god. Sorry, no. Karen’s my AI, hang on –” He switched her audio function, so she could be heard. “Say hi, Karen.”

“Hi, Karen.”

“Ha-ha,” he said dryly, switching her back to earpiece mode. “She’s a real joker.” 

Inside, there was significantly less joking around. (Okay, there was still maybe a little bit of joking – he was keeping the mood light!) Peter nodded to Supergirl as she took off one way, and he took off in the opposite direction. True to her word, there were half a dozen Hydra guards. He took them out with a series of flips, web grenades, and some good ol’ fashioned kicks to the head. 

Putting her hands up, she smiles and places them back on her hips. “Hey, never said that it was, but honestly, who even knows what goes on with publicity in general?” She questions with a laugh. “Your AI? That’s definitely cool, can’t say that I have heard of something like that before, and I know someone who would be interested in all of that.”

Covering her mouth as a loud laugh escapes her throat when the AI repeats what they have been literally told to say, Kara just clears her throat and nods. “Yeah, I can tell!”

Once she had finished punching and hitting the other guards with their own weapons whenever she got the chance to actually do the latter, Kara stuck to her word, meeting him halfway as she knocked two guards out together, smiling over at Peter. “You good?”

Kate laughed brightly. “Your best is usually pretty futzing good, Kare-bear,” she said, smiling at her friend. She held up her hands in mock surrender. “Hey, I’m no glory hog. I don’t mind watching another kickass lady kick ass,” she said. She followed Kara’s gaze out onto the street. “You think so?” she asked softly. “Sometimes… sometimes I think that for every bit of light, there’s a lot of shadows, ya know?”

Raising her eyebrows slightly at the nickname, she snorts and shrugs her shoulders a bit. “Aw, well thanks, Kate, unfortunately though, I still have my bad moments, but come on, who doesn’t?” Kara questions and nods her head, clasping her hands together. “And neither do I!” She hums in agreement, looking back out where everyone was, taking in a deep breath slowly. “Yeah, I really do. There’s always going to be shadows, but we can do our best to try and help them find the light.”

Jean didn’t really understand what kind of freak accident was going on. But all she understood is that someone else had to put up with her powers, with Phoenix … Someone who was inexperienced with what it was like to have those powers. Jean had to wear her best teaching shoes and make sure this whole thing doesn’t end in some mass destruction ❝ First thing is first, how are you feeling? ❞

Someone else had to have her powers, they couldn’t just float away on their own or anything. When she did stumble upon the other woman who seemed to have inherited all of her abilities, Kara sighs softly and looks down at her hands. “Confused, scared, anxious, worried..it’s a combination of things that I have never felt all together, I’m so sorry.”

        she could say something,  daisy knows she could  -  but daisy doesn’t want to delve into her whole  TRAGIC-ORIGIN-STORY  just for this stranger to know why she wasn’t  …  properly educated,  for a lack of better wording.    “   yeah,  well  -  i can create earthquakes,  move mountains,  all that jazz.  i didn’t choose the name,  though.   -  that’s  exactly  what i mean.  if you don’t have the inhuman gene,  and you touch the crystal  ?  you turn into stone and fall apart.   ”   she’d seen it with her own two eyes.

“You alright there, or did you just get lost in your head and I totally just ruined that? Because if so, oops, sorry.” She muses with a scrunch of her nose. “Okay, that is very cool. Hey, the name does sound awesome as well so, it isn’t anything bad.” Kara laughs and nods her head slowly. “That sounds rather frightening, so, how do people know if they are inhuman or not? Is it just a risk to take?”

Jessica tore the doors off the holding cells. The prisoners in there barely looked at her before rushing out, and she rolled her eyes. “You’re welcome, dickheads,” she muttered. The building was collapsing around them, rafters falling, smoke filling the whole place. 

“I’m fine,” she yelled up to Kara, though the coughing probably betrayed her a little. “But fuck it, yeah? If Hydra comes back to this, all they’re finding is wreckage.” She glanced up, holding her arms out wide. “ET phone home?” she called, smirking a little, despite their circumstances. 

Making a face when the prisoners just seemed to not even give them a second look, just run off, Kara only shrugs, part of her not exactly blaming them, but it was still rude. “Ignore them.” 

Eyes narrowed a bit when she hears the other begin to cough, but she knows better not to ask right now. With a snort at the combination of Jessica holding her arms out and referencing ET, she walks over and picks her up by the side before jumping up into the air, beginning to fly away from the building before finally reaching a far enough destination.

Feeling a strange sensation of well-being while standing next to her, Mon-El couldn’t help but smile as she talked about the Legion. He had been away for long, but he had not stayed without doing anything. He had been a hero, someone he wanted to be after what Kara made him be. He had been a hero, and it had felt great even if it felt like everything was ending, now. “They probably are, you’re right. I trained them well, they should be able to defend themselves, even on this Earth.” He admitted, chuckling slowly. He knew soon, he would’ve to leave Kara for a bit. He needed to take his cure again, not knowing what would be the effects if he didn’t. “I didn’t inspire them.” He admitted finally, as he looked up at Kara again. She was his muse, his inspiration. “You did. I told them about you, and what you did here. You were our model. Our inspiration. The Legion was created in your name.” He said it slowly. For months, years, he had not even looked at another woman. Because he loved her. But he had eventually succeded to move on, or so he thought. A slight sad smile appeared on his lips when she told him she loved him. It was painful. And now, oh he knew he couldn’t go for it. He was married, and it wasn’t Daxam. “I missed you.” He said it slowly, before getting closer to her, slowly taking her in his arms.

Hands absentmindedly waved around as she continued to talk about the information she had gathered up about his team from what he had told her as she put her own opinion on it, and once she finally finished talking, she noticed that he was still looking at her. She’d be lying if she said that her heart hadn’t slightly jumped at that fact, but things were different, she had to keep reminding herself of that despite how much she longed to be wrapped up in his arms again, wanting to kiss him and just touch him again. “It’s great to know that you trained them well, I may not have seen you in action just yet, but I bet that you have really improved even more so since we last saw each other.” Kara muses with a warm smile, raising her eyebrows when he tells her that he didn’t inspire them. “You still had a part though, by leading them and making up this team, you did still inspire them, and you inspire me, Mon-El, so, this all comes right back to you.” She shouldn’t have let him take her into his arms, because she felt like she could melt right then and there, staring into his eyes as her own fell back down to his lips before quickly fixing her mistake and looking back up. He had a wife, he’s from the future, everything has changed. “Mon-El?” Kara whispers with what seems almost sounding more like a question, the blonde Kryptonian stares back at him with tears filling in her eyes as she takes in a deep breath. “What are we doing?”

@gixlofsteel

The text from Supergirl requesting help was unexpected, although Wanda was pleased. She was someone that she admired deeply, a hero that every child could idolize, and a woman that she hoped to grow closer to as time permitted it. Immediately, she sent her the address to her and Pietro’s apartment, knowing that she was trustworthy. When the knocked sounded on her door, Wanda rolled her shoulders back, willing the flames to remain beneath her skin, and opened the door. “You needed my help?” She asked, offering her a bright smile. “I’m not exactly myself right now, but I’ll be of assistance anyway I can, Supergirl.”

She hadn’t exactly known what was going on with her, or if this was happening to other people as well, but fear quickly flooded her emotions when she nearly threw someone out of the sidewalk and into incoming traffic, she had to try and control these abilities. Nodding her head quickly at the question once Wanda actually opens up the door, Kara (As Supergirl) points to her head and ears. “I’m suddenly a telepath and I have telekinesis and though that’s really cool, it’s kind of not my powers and I almost hurt someone by accident today, help.” She muses and tilts her head to the side. “Did something happen to you too?”

Nodding slowly, Mon-El looked down. It was so hard to be back in the 21st century after living for seven years in another century. “Yeah, no. You won’t be alive. Neither would Clark. There was just me, and the Legion..” He whispered his last words. It was almost hard not to have the legion with him, after all he was their leader. He looked at her as she turned away, feeling his heart breaking even more. He loved her. And it was painful to know he was hurting her. “I can’t tell them because I don’t know if they still are in the future or if they are dead. And I’m not a telepath, if they were here I don’t know where. They could be in Europe or.. Buried under a tone of ice in Alaska, I have no idea.” He admitted, shaking his head slightly. “They are my friends, I should’ve make sure they would be okay.” He said with a worried tone in his voice, though this worry disappeared when he got closer to her. He looked into her eyes and pressed his lips slowly. “Kara, I..” He started, taking a deep breath. “Everywhere that I’ve been, everything that I’ve done, I couldn’t have done it if you weren’t here. And within centuries, and death, and all of the stuff that had happened, there was just.. A few things I was sure of. I was sure you made me change for good, that I was.. Am a hero, that you inspire people, even in ten centuries from now..” He stopped for a moment, deeply breathing. “And that I love you. No matter where I am, and no matter what century I’m in. I love you.”

Taking in a deep breath, she lets herself process the words that he is currently telling her, and she knew that he wasn’t wrong about her not being alive, she knew that Kryptonians aged more slowly, but death was still inevitable for them. Although she did have her back completely away from him now, there was still that huge part of her, aching to turn back around and look at him, she loved him so much, she always will, but things are different now for him, maybe even for her. “Either way, both situations don’t exactly seem like the best ones from the way you are saying it so, I’m sorry. Hopefully it’s the former at least.” Kara mumbles, despite how she was being towards him, she was still going to be kind towards his team even if she didn’t know them. “Hey, considering they are your friends, they probably all are okay and trying to find a way to find you.” She reassures him, biting down hard on her lip as she clears her throat and looks away when he looks into her eyes, knowing that if she stared back, she would practically melt at the sight, but his words made that change for her, perhaps without even realising it, Kara was slowly looking back up at him, mouth opening and closing for a few seconds as her eyes glanced down to his lips longer than she should be looking at them. “I’m so happy to hear that you have been able to inspire people, that you’re a hero, I’ve always believed in you.” She whispers softly, taking in a deep breath as eyes begin to once more tear up. “And I love you too. I always will.” Kara admits, pressing her lips together.

Without even skipping a beat, Kara zipped in and took care of the looters. Kate just sat back, swinging her heels over the ledge. She wasn’t going to waste arrows if she didn’t need to, though she was a little disappointed she couldn’t help more. 

Kara grinned and joined her, and Kate returned the smile easily. “Not bad. See you’ve been busy,” she said, nodding down to the TV store. “I’m getting back into the swing of things, but you’re making it awful easy on me.”

Sitting herself a bit more comfortably, she sighs softly and smiles over at the other, nodding her head slowly. “Thank you, I try my best.” Kara muses with a laugh. “Oh, I’m sorry about that, you can have the next person if you want? Sometimes I just like to fly up here or sit right here and watch the world around me, these humans have such a light to them, it makes it all worth it.”

Super strength had been problematic thus far. Unaccustomed to it, each time Ororo absentmindedly clutched a doorknob, it was crushed within her hand, and when she was startled with coffee in her hand, the cup was reduced to shards. She’d seen Colossus’s struggles with his overwhelming strength before, but no amount of observation properly conveyed the reality. With her third cup of coffee (luckily in a paper cup), Ororo exited the coffee shop, and lightly closed the door behind her. Immediately, the glass shattered behind her, and she cringed. Truly, this was humiliating. When she glanced up to address spectators, she offered them a tight smile. “It’s been a difficult day. Can we please pretend like this never happened? I’ll pay for the damages.”

To say that the Kryptonian was currently stressed over how she now had new powers, ones that were completely different than her real ones, was an understatement, she had tried to keep calm, but more than often, something ended up flying and hitting something around her. As she walked down the street, hands covering her ears as though the voices would suddenly go away, the sound of glass shattering made her quickly turn towards the source, eyebrows raising. “Take a deep breath, try and be as light as a feather with everything that you touch, pretend like it’s a baby or puppy, anything that you treasure that you want to make sure, would not fall.” She muses, aching for that feeling of strength once more, she didn’t know how long this would last.
