Danvers. Supergirl. 18. Student. DEO.

This girl was too happy. Chase never trusted overly happy people, well that might have to do with his upbringing, but regardless. “Yeah, I’ve got my ideas.” He didn’t want to say out loud that his parents might’ve been sent to this universe as well, but he didn’t want to even think about it. “But you don’t need to worry. I’ve got it under control.”

Kara frowned. “I wouldn’t say having someone nearly murder you ‘under control’,” she bluntly retorted. “You know I can help if someone’s out to get you, right?” She wasn’t exactly use to civilians rejecting her help. Usually, they were starstruck by the symbol and sometimes inappropriately asked for help where they shouldn’t. Rejection was new to her.

                   He needed to do more research. He’d been flying by on the assumption that their histories were relatively close because of how similar everything else seemed. Last time he’d gone reality hopping in the worst reality hopping vacation ever, nearly every version was wildly and radically different. This one was so close he chalked it up to a parallel reality more than a full alternate reality. Apparently he couldn’t have been more wrong.

                    “Would you believe me if I said the Upper East Side?” That wouldn’t explain why he was so uninformed but it wasn’t an outright lie. His parents did live on the Upper East Side. And he may not be living at home anymore but it was where he was from. Even if it wasn’t the Upper East Side in this reality. For all he knew it was a terrible part of town instead of the snobby rich neighborhood he was used to. Well, it wasn’t Upper East Side proper but… it was close enough.

Kara scrunched her face and shook her head. “Nope,” she responded, popping the ‘p’. There was definitely something off with this guy and she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Not only was she inquisitive in nature, she also felt like Director Chase had been on her case lately and trying to control her too much. Surely attempting to solve the mystery of random magic casters wasn’t against protocol?

“Do you want to tell me where you’re really from and what you’re doing here? Keep in mind, I have incredible hearing and can hear, from someone’s heartbeat, when they are lying to me.” She immediately tuned her hearing onto his, waiting for his response.

Roy groaned and rolled his shoulders, turning away from the counter with the steaming hot latte in his hand. The archer blamed severe caffine deficency for the lack of his reflexs, his toned body slamming into the one behind him. “Fuck.” he swore loudly, his coffee spilling to the floor and covering his legs. “Watch where you’re going.” he growled, bending down to pick up the empty cup.

[kzedanvers]

Kara was unmoved by the man’s body and the only reason she took a step back was to dodge the hot coffee that was spilled from the bump. It wouldn’t have hurt her but it was best not to have people fussing over the fact that she wasn’t hurt. She looked up at the man and her eyes narrowed. “Maybe you should have watched where you were going?” she huffed indigently. Her glasses chose this exact moment to slide down her nose and she quickly pushed it up, keeping her disguise in place.

                 There were magic users here? So why hadn’t they picked up on the whole… bending of reality thing. Someone had to be on that? Someone had to be tracking down all the anomalies, unless the source of this wasn’t actually magic at all but that seemed… unlikely at best. The only reality warping he’d ever seen was magic. Science couldn’t do this. Even alien science. “I use… a kind of incantation but for small things I don’t always have to do it out loud. It’s, uh… a family trick.”

                  Okay, not mutants. Mutants was bad. Meta-humans. Still seemed kind of rude. A division between human and another group but who was he to judge how another reality handled mutants when his own reality had full mutant hunts. “You just… tell people you’re aliens? And people are okay with that?” With the number of deadly alien invasions on his Earth, anything even slightly alien was rejected very quickly and put into the ‘threat’ category unless it’s alien origins were kept on a tight lock-down.

                  He finally heard what he actually said to her. That was a little more rude than he intended to be to the girl who could stop bullets. “No– sorry. I don’t mean like– I’m totally fine with aliens. I’m dating an alien. It’s super cool that you’re an alien.”

Kara frowned, not really appreciating the boy’s tone. As far as she was concerned, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Then again, she was a Kryptonian so she had certain privileges her fellow out-of-world beings didn’t. The ability to blend in and reach God-like powers being the most important ones when it came to people actually liking her.

Nevertheless, he corrected himself and she eased up. “Superman kind of paved the way for aliens to be more accepted, I guess? I mean, there are still a lot of people here that hate the idea of aliens living on Earth but my cousin has kind of become most people’s hero so they don’t think all aliens are bad. Especially not the ones that fight crime, like me.”

She was really beginning to get curious as to where he was from. How could he not know any of this stuff? “Where are you from anyway?” she asked.

[kzedanvers]

ixammagic:

                   Superman’s cousin? Well, it wasn’t the weirdest backstory he’d ever heard. He didn’t really have room to talk. Considering his backstory was the soul child of one of the most powerful mages on his Earth that was rewritten into reality when she had a mental breakdown so… cousin made a lot more sense actually. She was related to Statue Guy With the S. “Good job. With the saving people thing. Thank you.”

                     Meta-human… seemed like it might be related to mutants? And technically mages were kinds of mutants since it was a genetic change that allowed them into access magical power. He opened his hand, turned his palm down, and then up again. In a soft blue light, he produced a daisy. “Kind of. Magic. I don’t know how you classify magic and mutants here.” There wasn’t really a point in trying to lie and convince her he knew what he was talking about. Every other time he’d tried to do that, he ended up caught almost right away. He just wasn’t a good liar. “So are… you and Superman meta-humans?”

Kara’s eyes widened at the mention of magic. She had heard a bit about it and witnessed it a few times but she specialized in little crimes and alien threats so it wasn’t every day that she ran into magic users. Kal El had told her that magic was one of those things she should be wary of because it had the power to hurt their kind but this boy seemed harmless enough.

“Oh, we have heroes who use magic too! Usually they have to cast spells and incantations though,” she explained, thinking specifically of Zatanna. This boy must have been born pretty special if he could do what he did without words. “But no.. we don’t call meta-humans mutants… Seems kind of like a rude term.” She supposed it was scientifically accurate but something about it rubbed her the wrong way.

When he asked her about her own state, her eyes widened. He really didn’t know anything about Superman? It wasn’t like the source of Superman’s powers was a secret. In fact, it was well-known that Superman was Kryptonian. “No, we’re aliens from another planet… Completely different from humans.”

Chase’s eyes were wide as he watched this woman come out of nowhere, saving him from being shot. It hadn’t really hit him until now that he’s in this world - this…alternate universe, that’s what Billy called it right? - full of super heroes, and here he was Chase Stein. Kid. No powers. Except for the shared memories with a dinosaur, who’d probably be waking up from her afternoon nap with panic in her heart, he had nothing. Clearing his throat, he nodded. “Uhm. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for that.”

“No problem!” Kara brightly responded, giving the civilian a large grin. “Do you know why they were trying to attack you?” She double-checked to make sure that the criminal was still down. She would have to fly him to the nearest police station once she was done making sure that this man was safe.

stephanie smiled slightly and pushed her fingers through her hair, “i’m not exactly part of the family, kara. i just borrowed the symbol. without permission the second time, actually.” well, technically, she stole it. or, more accurately, she refused to return it, but, hey, it was a wrongful termination. she grinned and tugged her cowl over her head, “i don’t bruise easy, so i like to give the bad guys a fair shot.” 

Kara chuckled and nodded, “Right…” Truthfully, the bat family tended to be so elusive with their identities and changed them so often that it was hard for Kara to keep up. She admired them for their hard work, confidence, and masterful skills but they were rather… dark. The one thing she loved most about them, however, was that they were always freakishly prepared for every mission and she could happily just follow their lead.

They walked towards the door and Kara quickly broke the lock before gesturing for Stephanie to take the lead. She remained hovering in the air as she followed Batgirl, not wanting to walk in case she made too much noise. Frankly, Kara never understood how Batgirl learned to walk so silently that sometimes even her super hearing had trouble catching her footsteps. Her and her cousin approached things completely differently. With their bright red and blue costumes, they liked to face threats head on and made no effort to hide.

They were about to turn the corner when Kara suddenly stopped Stephanie. “I hear something in that room,” she stated, pointing to the sealed doors. She used her x-ray vision to try to see through it but… “Lead-lined doors. You know, sometimes I think the whole lead thing should be evidence against their criminal activities. They are obviously trying to hide from Superman.”

                  Billy looked down at his hand, still illuminating the night and quickly closed his fist, putting it out. “No– I mean, I shouldn’t be mad you stopped a bullet or anything. Thanks. I think. I just… Hard to know whose on what side, sometimes.” She pointed at the big emblem on her suit like he was supposed to know what it was. A big S. He’d heard of a Superman flying around. Kind of a local god if things were to be believed, but he didn’t know there was a whole crew of super flying people. “Sorry, I’m not from… around here?”

Kara blinked in confusion when it seemed obvious that the symbol meant nothing to the boy in front of her. Sure, she wasn’t her cousin so a lot of people didn’t often recognize or know her, but usually the symbol inspired some sort of reaction, worldwide even. Unless this boy was living under some sort of rock, she didn’t know how he didn’t recognize it. Nevertheless, he didn’t so she didn’t want to leave him hanging. “Well, I’m, uhh, I’m Supergirl,” she held out her hand for the boy to shake. “I’m Superman’s cousin and it’s kind of my job to rescue people that look like they are in need of help.”

She pointed to the boy’s hands, which were now no longer glowing. “What were you doing with your hands earlier? Are you some kind of meta-human?” she asked. If the boy had it handled, did that mean he was a superhero as well? Kara didn’t recognize him as one of the Justice League members, but he was also pretty young so maybe he was new? Ever since she joined the DEO, she was kind of out of the loop with the rest of the Justice League members so she wouldn’t be surprised if he was she she just didn’t know about him.

                      Billy reacted on instinct. He saw a girl running, a man behind her pull out a gun, and put himself in between them. He urged the man to put down his weapon and the girl ran a corner, out of sight, and didn’t even look back at Billy. Good to know that people did that everywhere. His hand was glowing blue, magic surrounding it, prepared to shoot off a low, weak burst of lightning at the villain when the blonde in red and blue took him out before Billy could finish blinking. “I’m… fine. I had that, you know.”

Kara raised her brow and looked down at the boy’s glowing hands. He was a meta-human? “Sorry?” she apologized, not sure what to make of the situation. It wasn’t exactly every day that she met someone who was disappointed she blocked a bullet from hitting them. “I just, uhh…” Kara had only been on Earth for a few months but she was pretty sure that she wasn’t the one in the wrong here. “I mean, when I see bullets, I just kind of jump in without thinking,” she explained, shrugging her shoulders. “It’s kind of a ‘Super’ thing.” She gestured to the very well-known symbol on her chest as if it was the perfect explanation to everything.

[kzedanvers]

“Watch out!” Kara shouted before she dived in to block the bullet that was milliseconds away from hitting the person. She had just been on a regular patrol when she noticed a little commotion beneath her and decided to check it out. Once guns were introduced into the equation, she knew she couldn’t ignore it. Kara rushed forward and took the gun away from the masked individual, crushing it with her bare hand before pushing him into the wall, immediately knocking him out. She turned back to the person behind her and smiled. “Are you okay?”

[truckinpromo-deactivated2018022]

“okay, but, consider this: i don’t care. i’m gonna do it.”

[kzedanvers]

Kara laughed, raising her hands in surrender. “You’re the one with a giant bat-family on her back, not me,” she teased. Admittedly, Kara had always been jealous that Stephanie had an entire family to look after her. Clark barely paid much attention to Kara and, while it meant he didn’t baby her, it was also kind of lonely. Kara wasn’t a kid so she didn’t need a guardian or protector (especially since she was the one sent to protect Kal in the first place), but it wouldn’t hurt to hang out with her cousin once in a while and feel like he actually cared. “But are you sure that’s safe…? I may be invulnerable, but you aren’t.”

        “ — Unless you’re aiming to help me with my target practice, I’d suggest you get out of the way,” Kate warned, raising her eyebrows at the individual who had just interrupted her rooftop session. Her bow was taut, though she lowered it slightly so that it wasn’t aimed entirely at them any longer. Sure, it would be their fault if they ended up with an arrow in their leg, but she really wasn’t looking to maim anyone at the moment.

[kzedanvers]

Kara hovered above the roof, her arms crossed and her head cocked to the side as the woman threatened her without even sparing her a glance. Kara had been bored so she decided to head out into the city on her own, seeing if there was anything she could help with when she spotted a stranger shooting arrows by themselves. The sight intrigued her and she couldn’t help but fly closer to watch. “Sorry, I was just impressed by your shots and wanted to get a closer look. I didn’t mean to interrupt,” she explained, gently landing on the roof. “You’re really good. Who taught you how to shoot like that?”

Slowly, as dramatically as she could, Barbara turned her wheelchair around to face the newcomer. A smirk was set on her lips and her hands were folded in front of her. “I’ve been expecting you.”

[kzedanvers]

Kara froze when Barbara spoke, looking around her, wondering if the woman was talking to someone else. She didn’t think she made much noise, but maybe she had? There was something about the bat family that always creeped her out, not in a bad way, but their senses and reflexes were on-point and their ability to disappear into the dark, even from her and her cousin, was rather scary. “Did someone tell you I would be coming?” she asked, giving the woman a small smile. “Sorry I didn’t call ahead, but I kind of made the split second decision to come and ask you if you’ve noticed that something’s been kind of.. off lately.”

[kzedanvers]

Hello, everyone! I’m Shera and I’ll be playing the lovely Kara Zor-El. I’ll be working off of her Rebirth storyline (so naturally some of The New 52 canon applies, but I’m not keeping her entire New 52 storyline because I want her to start off a bit more light-hearted and without all that baggage).

General premise is that Kara lives with her DEO Agent adoptive parents, the Danvers, and she goes to school, interns at CatCo., and works with the DEO as Supergirl. A fun little quirk in Rebirth is that she wears special glasses that turn her brunette when they are on so I’ll be switching gifs depending on what mode she’s in. Glasses or brown hair means she’s Kara Danvers. Supergirl is otherwise.  

I’m a bit behind on her current issues since I prefer to buy the volumes rather than issue by issue so forgive me if I miss a few things!

Feel free to drop me a message if you feel like plotting!
