The sky left few obstacles in her way just like Lara remembered. Endless freedom wherever she looked, except down. With the wind hurling by, Lara was suddenly struck by a reminder.
Mom!Lara had left home without so much as a message.
Well, mom going to understand, right?… right? Sure she’s totally gonna understand.Pretending did little to convince the mind, and Lara fumbled to get a hold on the cellphone she had used for music doing her morning jog. When running did little to increase one’s leg muscles, a bit of Adele soften the chore.
HI, MA'AM. I'M FLAYING BECAUSE FAT IS IN TROUBLE... Dammit! I can lift an elephant, but I can't fly and text on the same time. Whatever, I just write “Back soon”.Among the brittle-looking buildings below a marvel of strength appeared. Metro Tower. The elaborate design, the calming colors and the structure even spoke:
"Supergirl dear, this is Ravager, we're under fuckin' attack by a mystical being known as Extant. Any aid you can provide would be damn well appreciated dearie."Neither how they broadcasted it or how they knew she was coming was relevant. Things had gotten bad enough for them to ask the help of an inexperienced girl barely in control of her earth shattering powers. And that was a reason for concern. Time was of the essence.
Hovering above the building for a second, Lara…
no, Supergirl gather all her strength and might. Tightening ever single muscle and using her ability to amp up the volume of ass-kicking. When she shot strait down, it was with a force that tore the ground apart in an explosion of dirt and stone that shook the foundation of Metro Tower. She touched down like a meteor inside the room, while ruble rain down. Next second, her telekinesis unleashed a wave across the floor hurling every single dust particle up into the air while her glowing red eyes faded.
“Where… is… Superman?” she sneered with a dark voice, so unlike her usual tone. She turned her head to face the people whom had called upon her.
Wait, oh, I guess I landed in an empty room. Alright, no worries, I’ll just try the next. I can totally still flip this. Yeah, for sure. Ehhh, maybe it’s this one.After punching down a wall, Supergirl got her answer.
Nope, that’s the bathroom. Definitely don’t need to go there, she thought while shaking her hand in pain. Metro Tower had some strong-ass walls.
Okey-dokey third times the charm.This obstacle bursted into hundreds of pieces when her fist connected, and Supergirl stepped into the room filled with computers and screens. In the center stood two elderly people cosplaying as Question and Ravanger.
“Finally! Now, tell me… Oh, god that looks expensive,” Supergirl added, when she stepped on the equipment she had broken when making a doorway. Her more quirky speech returned, as she pointed down.
“It can be replaced, right? Just like your roof and bathroom and..." She paused to make an awkward dance.
"Ouch… you got some cold floors in here. I mean: I guess I should have worn shoes for this, but I… ehm. Listen I’m Supergirl, and could you tell me what’s going on? You know, if it’s not like totally inconvenient and stuff.”Looking at them both, Supergirl concluded she could not have made a worse entrance.
